Chapter 332 Horse Thieves Rampant(1/2)
Chapter 332 Horse thieves are rampant
"Shut up! Ogedai Khan, you should say something -"
Shi Tianze, a fierce general under Wo Kuotai, shouted loudly and stopped the noisy quarrel in the Chinese army tent.
Shi Tianze was from Yongqing, Hebei. When Temujin led his army south, Shi Tianze's father Shi Bingzhi led thousands of people to welcome Muhuali.
Mu Huali still let Shi Bingzhi command his tribe, and at the same time also named his son Shi Tianni as Wanhu, and Shi Tianze as the general in charge of the account.
Since arriving under Mu Huali's tent, Shi Tianze's military talents have slowly emerged, especially after Mu Huali's death in battle.
"Haha, please be patient, General Shi. You can all speak freely. Now that the Song Dynasty has become stronger, we, the Mongolian Empire, can only avoid its influence for the time being."
"However, if the leaders intend to resist the powerful Song Dynasty, although I, Wo Kuotai, cannot say how much help I can do, it is still my duty to provide some weapons and arrows, or to sponsor a group of excellent war horses."
Wo Kuotai was not angry because of the arrogance of the people. Instead, he kept looking at the people in the central military tent happily, even ignoring the quarrels of the warriors under his own command.
"Ogodei Khan, you can't back down. We, the Mongolian people, still count on you to take charge of the overall situation in the future. After Genghis Khan, you are the most powerful khan in Mongolia. We, the Blackwater Tribe, will definitely rely on your leadership.
——”
At this time, Yinxian, the leader of the Blackwater tribe who had always been close to Wo Kuotai, stood up. The old man was in his fifties and was good at wielding a sword. He was also a brave and ruthless person in his youth.
"Of course, if we couldn't trust the Great Khan, we wouldn't stay in this big tent!"
…
"Is this possible?"
A thousand taels of silver notes can be used in any larger town in the desert. It is enough for an ordinary family of herders to live a prosperous life for a long time.
Unfortunately, there are not many people in the Blackwater tribe. There are only two thousand people who can actually go to the battlefield, and they are often harassed by other tribes.
The weapons are sharper than yours, the armor is stronger than yours, the tactics are richer than yours, and even the mental outlook is not inferior to yours. Now the number of regular troops is much greater than yours, so what else do you have to compare with others?
?
Guo Mo did not judge what "Jin Yi" described, whether it was what happened in the Wokuotai military tent or the three attacks he suffered along the way south.
"Check, we must find out what is going on, and give your Majesty and Ogedai Khan a satisfactory answer-"
In this way, the speed of travel has been accelerated a lot.
Even if the envoy did not quite understand why Ogedai said this, as a close confidant of Ogedai, he would naturally not doubt his prowess.
In the vast desert, there was nowhere to hide, so everyone had no choice but to gallop, trying to quickly approach the next military town to get rid of this annoying horse bandit.
Guo Mo listened quietly to the leader of the "Jin Yi", and there were other "Jin Yi" beside him from time to time who were making some additions.
Unexpectedly, on the way back, there were thirty more envoys from Ogedai in the team, but they were attacked by unknown horse bandits from time to time.
"There was no conflict between Song and Mongolia back then, and they also had a common enemy, the Jin Kingdom. If the Jin Kingdom had been destroyed, since the Song Emperor wanted to move the capital to Zhongdu, he wanted some of the border states in my hands, Wo Kuotai's, to serve as
He Li, how can I, the elder brother, be such a stingy person?"
After a long while, Wu Nantian was the first to calm down.
Even in this Chinese military tent, there are three or five tribal leaders who support these two people.
"Nantian, go back. The master will be back in a few months. This time, your second master's wife and I will take the two children to a secret place to practice for a few months, and then it will be time to move the capital."
"However, let me tell you something: the desert is not monolithic, and many tribes are not decided by Ogedei Khan."
"Actually, Wo Kuotai and His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty can be regarded as brothers. It can be said that Ben Khan grew up watching the Emperor of Song Dynasty. He and his fourth brother Tuo Lei were sworn sworn friends to Anda."
There is no way of knowing what Ogedai wrote in his letter. He also convened a group of envoys to discuss the matter face to face for a long time. Naturally, no one knew what they all said.
Seeing the leaders leaving, Yinxian was the first to express his indignation.
Moreover, Ogaotai probably knows better than anyone how the horse thieves were created.
If not, just lead the troops to fight!
After Wu Nantian read it, in order to show fairness, he handed the military order to the envoy sent by Wokuotai.
Wu Nantian was also stunned. The style of the military order, the beautiful thin gold regular script, and even the seal on the military order were just like normal ones.
"Ogedai Khan, our warriors in Mongolia are no longer as brave as Genghis Khan was. Even so, we will not be afraid of those Song barbarians."
I looked inside and out three times and couldn't see where the problem was.
"Your Majesty, this is a letter from my Great Khan to you. The one who kept it before was also poisoned by a horse thief, and it is stained with blood. It is really..."
"Great Khan, let me go. If you give me 30,000 troops, I will surely capture Han Baoju in the north of Miyun."
However, Wokuotai kept the envoys of the Song Dynasty and stayed there until the end of February before letting them leave.
After all the calculations, all he could bring out now was only 70,000 troops, and this still had to include the 30,000 miscellaneous troops provided by the tribes that attached to him.
As a result, Wang Jian, who had "red eyes to kill", and Guo Jing, who was "blinded by his subordinates", both failed to restrain their armies and occupied the pastures of some friendly neighbors in the desert.
Because Wokuotai knew very well that the reason why Yinxian said this was because he had never fought head-on with the "Dunwu" Army and the "Jingnan" Army of the Song Dynasty.
On the contrary, the eleven people who went to the Song Dynasty, except for the messenger who was slightly injured, but none of the ten "Jinyi" were injured, and instead killed countless horse bandits.
"When was this and who sent it?"
In the blink of an eye, three or four tribe leaders followed him out.
However, they only went to take over some undefended cities and did not encounter any resistance.
The "Horse King God" Han Baoju was even more ruthless. He actually received a military order sent by Guo Mo, asking him to clear the land five hundred miles north and west of Miyun.
In the end, Ogedai's envoy chose the second way.
Guo Mo took it generously and patted the messenger twice on the shoulder to comfort his panic.
All the "jinyi" were left by Guo Mo in Zhongdu City. After all, he was still in retreat there.
However, after hearing that they were attacked along the way, Guo Mo had already sent the best doctors in the army to the envoy's station for a comprehensive examination and treatment.
The first is a handwritten letter from Wo Kuotai. The general content is to congratulate the Song Dynasty on moving to the central capital, and specially uses the Han people's sixteen prefectures of Yanyun as a congratulatory gift to express the friendship between the Song and Mongolia families.
"This military order must be fake. His Majesty has never issued such a military order at all. Moreover, all the 'Jinyi' soldiers have been training in secret in the past two days, and no one has left at all."
That place was actually Wo Kuotai's territory. When Wo Kuotai sent people to Zhongdu to question him, Guo Mo also felt strange.
"It's these damn horse thieves again—"
At present, when the Song Dynasty was strong, what he chose was not to unite the various Mongolian tribes to fight against the outside world, but to choose the principle that in order to fight against the outside world, one must first settle the internal affairs.
Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, Wu Nantian naturally can no longer quarrel with Vice General Chen. He just takes this forged military order and returns to Zhongdu City with Wo Kuotai's envoy.
Yinxian once again brought the atmosphere in the Zhongjun tent to a climax, and took the lead to stand on the left side of the tent, followed by seven or eight tribe leaders in a row.
Now, the other party is treating the other person in his own way, and he is using it so unscrupulously that there is no excuse for Wo Kuotai to object.
"Um...Wu Dutong, if you didn't ask me, I really wouldn't be able to remember to tell you. You see, I am leading three thousand 'Jingnan' troops to guard the camp."
Although Vice General Chen knew Wu Nantian's identity, he was still neither humble nor arrogant, and found a military order from a pile of volumes.
"Commander Wu, just seven days ago, a team of 'Jinyi' sent this military order, and then we, Commander Han, led the army to leave."
Unfortunately, when they returned to Zhongdu City again, it happened that His Majesty the Emperor Guo Mo actually went into seclusion.
"Although we also feel that it is inappropriate to attack Ogedei Khan's territory, after all, it is difficult to disobey military orders."
Although Yang Guo and Guo Xiang's martial arts progress has already improved by leaps and bounds, Guo Mo still wants to make more progress for these two people.
Listening to Wokuotai's tone, it seems that he is about to agree to Da Song's unreasonable request?
Wo Kuotai waved his hand towards Yin Xian and continued.
"Everyone, can you trust me, Wo Kuotai?"
"Hmph, they are a bunch of trash, they are all selfish guys. The disaster in Mongolia is coming, and no one can escape it."
Even though so many people stood up to support him, how many people were sincere and how many were fake? How many people hope that Wokuotai can really go up, and how many people want to use Wokuotai as a gunman?
This time, it was Shi Tianze who took the lead. As one of Wo Kuotai's most powerful generals, he couldn't always let Yin Xian take the lead, right?
"The envoys from the Song Dynasty have made you laugh. I did not expect that in front of all the envoys, this farce would happen in our country, Mongolia."
After looking around the central military tent, Wo Kuotai asked calmly.
Glancing at the remaining people in the tent, apart from the generals under his tent, they were also the tribal leaders who supported him like Yinxian.
This sentence surprised Guo Mo. Looking at the indescribable sketches in his hand, Guo Mo seemed to understand something.
"Master, are you really leaving?"
Soon, Tingfeng's people figured out who was dealing with Wo Kuotai in the desert, and those sketches, after repeated identification by Ting Feng, were those of Wo Kuotai.
The opposite pasture.
In terms of equipment and combat power, these 30,000 miscellaneous troops were far behind, not to mention the "Dunwu" army and the "Jingnan" army, even compared with the Wokuotai army.
Even though they belong to two countries, these eight envoys from the desert were impressed by Guo Mo's magnanimity. The key is to really give money.
Yin first took the lead, and leaders of various tribes gradually rose up to agree. For a moment, the topic just discussed was diverted.
A messenger stood up tremblingly, holding a letter in his hand, but one-third of the entire cover of the letter was stained red with blood.
"The truth of the matter has been found out. Since these thieves are deliberately trying to stir up disputes between our two families, we must not get into trouble."
To be continued...
