Chapter 332 Horse Thieves Rampant(2/2)
Unfortunately, Han Baoju had already "set off under orders" first, leaving the deputy general and three thousand sergeants to guard the camp and at the same time arrange the military supplies and wages in various places.
However, Wokuotai admired Yinxian's character and martial arts very much, and often helped them. He even took Yinxian's tribe to get some trophies during foreign campaigns.
…
"I agree with what Brother Yinxian said. Now that Song Man is rising, if we, Mongolia, do not unite, sooner or later we will follow the same path of the Jin Kingdom and Xixia."
Can Wo Kuotai still not be able to tell whether the military order is true or false?
Judging from the narrative of "Jin Yi", the horse bandits attacked them indiscriminately. It was only because of the strong combat power of "Jin Yi" that a large number of horse bandits were killed.
Wu Nan was still interested in reading Vice General Chen's military report, so he snatched the military order from the Mongolian envoy and threw it to the ground angrily.
"Messenger, you see, this is my master's hobby. He has been practicing martial arts for so many years. Now that he is in seclusion, I'm afraid I won't be able to see him again in a short time."
"Everyone, before you came here, did the man from Ogedai have any explanations?"
"Vice General Chen, why did your 'Jingnan' army launch an attack on the territory of Ogedai Khan?"
"Ogedai Khan, I'll take my leave now that there are still important things to do in the tribe -"
Yinxian's actions also aroused extreme dissatisfaction among the two leaders in the big tent. They were people whose status was no less than that of Wo Kuotai.
"What? Did Commander Wu also encounter horse thieves?"
"I also sent a letter to the Emperor of Song Dynasty and sent a team of envoys to pay homage. However, I leave it to the envoys to ensure safety along the way."
Wu Nantian took out the military order again,
He also sincerely came up with two countermeasures for Ogedai's envoy.
Outside Zhongdu City, Wu Nantian was bidding farewell to Guo Mo. The only people leaving with Guo Mo were Li Mochou, Yang Guo and Guo Xiang.
Wokuotai is naturally grateful for the support from Yinxian and others, but he will not get carried away because of it.
Wokuotai still smiled and said nothing, watching with cold eyes.
"Okay, that's it for today. You can return to the team first. As for the progress of training, let Commander Lu arrange it for you."
Finally, an old man on the right shook his head helplessly and walked away with a sigh.
"Brother Yinxian, thank you very much for your support, but Wo Kuotai knows that his talent and virtue are not enough to convince the public, so he cannot unite Mongolia."
After dispatching people from "Jinyi", Wu Nantian personally made a trip for this purpose, and together with Wokuotai's envoy, went to Miyun's "Jingnan" army station for accountability.
Only after entering Juyongguan and counting the number of people again, did they find that the thirty envoys in Wokuotai had been reduced to eight after three attacks by horse bandits.
If Shi Tianze could really be given 30,000 Mongolian cavalry, although he might not be able to capture Han Baoju, he would at least have a chance to severely damage the 30,000 "Jingnan" troops.
"Forget it, isn't it just a five-hundred-mile pasture? I can afford it."
"In order to protect the 'Jingnan' army camp, Han Dutong ordered me to lead three thousand elites to garrison here. Could it be that this fake military order was forged by those horse bandits?"
"Let's do this. In this military tent, I counted at least sixteen tribal leaders here. Let's simply take a vote. Those who are willing to support Ogedai Khan as our Mongol Khan, please follow me.
Stand on the left side of the big tent——"
"Everyone, if you can come to Zhongdu City to see me, you have narrowly escaped death. No matter what the outcome of this mission is, each of you will be given one thousand taels of silver."
"Your Majesty, when we arrived, Ogedai Khan gathered us together and told us a lot about etiquette when meeting Your Majesty."
Yes, Han Baoju only had 30,000 troops, and they were scattered over hundreds of miles.
Even though the opinions among the Mongols were not unified, the lands Guo Mo wanted for the several states happened to be under the rule of Wo Kuotai. Even if he insisted on giving them away to others, even if he was dissatisfied, it would be hard to say anything.
The envelope is not small and contains several parts of content.
Guo Mo waved his hand, and Wu Nantian walked over from the side and took out some banknotes from his arms, all of which were in pieces of one thousand taels, and each person was given one.
When we headed to the desert from Zhongdu, although the weather was freezing and the group walked slower, the journey was uneventful.
"Haha, bring it here. I am neither a weak scholar with no power nor a useless person who grew up in a deep palace. Can't I still see blood?"
Wu Nantian was a little hesitant, so he unfolded the military order handed over by the other party and took a look.
"Ogedai Khan..."
As the first gatekeeper, Haji guarded the outside of the palace where Guo Mo lived. Next to him were "Iron Palm Ruthless" Lu Pingsheng and dozens of "Jin Yi".
Vice General Chen was also dumbfounded and carefully picked up the military order from the ground.
At this time, a tribal leader on the right side of the tent stood up, raised his fists towards Wo Kuotai, turned around and left the tent.
"Commander Wu, please calm down. The Jingnan Army is your Majesty's army. Naturally, we are acting under orders. You see, your Majesty's military orders are here."
"In addition, I will also personally inform the brothers of the 'Dunwu' Army and the 'Jingnan' Army that anyone who sees a horse thief will never tolerate it."
Wu Nantian's teeth were itching with hatred.
Wu Nantian changed his usual gentle and gentle temperament and lost his temper several times today.
As soon as he entered Miyun's camp, Wu Nantian could not suppress his anger. You must know that when Guo Mo knew about this, he even overturned the imperial book case.
Now, his competitors had suffered heavy losses, and he himself had lost hundreds of miles of pasture. As for the tribal herders, the Song army did not kill too many.
Vice General Chen said a little puzzled.
"Second Senior Brother, it's really unlucky for you to come back. Master suddenly got something unexpected yesterday and immediately went into seclusion. Maybe after this retreat, master's martial arts skills will be further improved."
The content of the letter is not difficult to understand, but the last few sketches make Guo Mo a little ambiguous.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty. We were ordered to go on an envoy, which is our duty. If it weren't for the protection of Your Majesty's 'Jin Yi' along the way, the eight of us might not have been able to come here."
Two days later, Guo Mo personally received Wokuotai's envoy.
Vice General Chen took out another military newspaper with a proud smile on his face.
"Actually, for things like guarding the camp, one or two thousand men and horses are enough. But recently, several groups of horse bandits appeared in Miyun. I don't know where they came from. They are extremely brave."
The other part is the map of several states. In this era, presenting maps is equivalent to presenting land.
Since Wokuotai had people bring maps of those states, Guo Mo did not wait until the end of March to send the 30,000 "Dunwu" troops led by Wang Jian and the 40,000 "Jingnan" troops led by Guo Jing.
The army launched an offensive in advance.
…
"Vice General Chen, let me ask you, has anything unusual happened in your Miyun area recently, or has there been any uncontrollable force?"
The drawings on the other pieces of papyrus are simpler. They seem to be patches of grassland, or like topographic maps of the desert, but they don't seem to be connected together.
"Wokuotai Khan, it's not that I don't want to support you, it's actually that in the tribe today, my military power has been completely deprived of me by Quanzi. Even if I support you, it won't help -"
But he was also taken away. It is said that he was sent to a sparsely populated area in the Song Dynasty to carry out some kind of "labor reform", which was nothing more than repairing bridges and roads, planting grass and trees, and so on.
In the end, including Wokuotai, there were ten heads of sixteen tribes standing on the left side of the tent, clearly accounting for more than half.
"Look, this is the military report from the Korean capital yesterday. He has cleared out five Mongolian tribes in the north of Miyun. Now he has changed his route to the west and has gone out for more than 400 miles."
Guo Mo believed that these people may not know the contents of the envelope, so they just ignored it without asking.
…
Vice General Chen seemed to have discovered the truth of the matter. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Wu Nantian in disbelief.
"Look, are you going to continue waiting in Zhongdu City for your master to leave the customs, or are you going to go back and deliver this fake military order?"
"In this case, the general must guard the camp strictly and not give the horse bandits any chance. Commander Wu, please take this fake military order back to His Majesty, so as not to make it difficult for you to deliver."
In the main tent of the Mongolian Chinese army, Ogedai rarely cursed in public and even tore up the military orders that the envoy took back.
The situation has reached this point, and Wokuotai has had his teeth knocked out and his blood swallowed.
But, does Wokuotai dare?
"Waste, it's all waste -"
"Huh, give them a hundred courages, and they wouldn't dare to go wild in Zhongdu City. However, a month ago, those damn horse thieves attacked the envoys sent by Ogedai Khan to Zhongdu several times, causing twenty
Two messengers lost their lives innocently."
Therefore, he remembered the place where he and Huang Rong stayed many years ago.
After so many years, maybe some materials can be produced to meet the needs of these two children for practicing.
Four people and four horses headed south, with only their second disciple Wu Nantian seeing them off. They walked in a clean way, without the hustle and bustle of the past, but it had a different atmosphere.
The setting sun elongated the silhouette of the people seeing off, and Wu Nantian waited until the master and mistress could no longer be seen, then slowly turned the horse's head and headed towards Zhongdu City.
