Chapter 189
In Weizhou, one hundred thousand Mongolian troops were stationed nearby, with large tents one after another outside the city as far as the eye could see.
In the house of a wealthy family in the city, the Mongolian soldiers destroyed all the fine furniture in the house, lit braziers in each room in groups, and started eating, drinking and having sex.
This house belonged to a wealthy family in the city. After the Mongols came in, they took it and used it as a palace in Wokuotai.
The rich man was driven out of his house, and his wife, daughter, and maids in the house were captured by the Mongols for their sexual pleasures.
At this time, in the lobby of the house, a bonfire was lit and a stove was set up, making the room very warm.
Wo Kuotai sat in the hall, stretching out his hands to enjoy the warmth brought by the burning of the fine mahogany furniture, and said: "I asked Kuo Duan to attract the Xuzhou Jin army, and he personally led the army to sit in Weizhou and threaten Kaifeng.
Let Wanyan Shouxu gather heavy troops in Kaifeng. Now we just have to wait for Kublai Khan to storm Tongguan and lead the Jin soldiers from Luoyang and other places to Tongguan, and then the army can go south, all the way to Zhengzhou, and all the way to Hulao Pass. Fight into Luoyang!
"
"The Great Khan is wise!" The famous Mongolian general Subotai couldn't help but admire, "We have been fighting for so many years, and the Guanhe defense line that has not been broken will be broken by the Great Khan!"
"Yes!" Han general Guo Dehai also said with a smile: "The Jin Kingdom has relied on the Guanhe Defense Line to survive in recent years. The Great Khan broke the Guanhe Defense Line, and it was easy to destroy the Jin Kingdom."
Needless to say, Subotai was a famous Mongolian general, and even Guo Dehai was not simple either. Zhang Rou had a son named Zhang Hongfan, and he had a son named Guo Kan.
In fact, Wokuotai had to thank Zhao Tai. Although he inherited the Mongol Khan throne before, his power was not as powerful as Tuo Lei.
This led to the fact that a large number of princes, nobles, and people from other tribes in Mongolia would not necessarily be loyal to him, and would most likely choose the stronger Tuo Lei.
This made Wo Kuotai very uneasy for a time, so when he learned that Zhao Tai poisoned Tuo Lei, he was angry but also secretly happy.
And he should indeed be happy.
Because after Tuo Lei's death, the princes, nobles, and ministers of various ethnic groups in Mongolia became obviously more respectful towards him.
This time he drove Meng Ge away. Kublai Khan was young, unable to convince the crowd, and could not bear the burden of dragging thunder. Many princes and nobles believed that the position of the Mongol Khan in the future would probably be passed down to the Ogedai family.
Take the initiative to move closer to Wokuotai.
"Haha~" Wo Kuotai was quite proud, but Wo Kuotai was able to formulate a plan to break through the Guanhe defense line. In fact, it was mainly due to the Battle of Sanfeng Mountain.
If it were not for the tow mine in Sanfeng Mountain, which annihilated the main force of the Jin army, resulting in the current shortage of Jin troops, the Guanhe defense line would not be so prone to loopholes.
"Great Khan, counting the time, Prince Kublai Khan should have already begun to attack Tongguan!" Subotai said: "I don't know if he can mobilize the Luoyang defenders."
Wokuotai said: "Kuoduan attracted tens of thousands of Jin troops on the eastern front, and Ben Khan forced the Jin Kingdom to deploy elite troops to defend Kaifeng. Now Tongguan is estimated to only have a few thousand Jin soldiers. If he cannot attack Tongguan by sea, he cannot force Monk Chen
Reinforce Tongguan, then he will be a loser!"
The Mongolian generals present couldn't help but burst into laughter in order to please Wokuotai.
At this time, just as everyone was laughing, a burst of rapid footsteps gradually approached.
Not long after, the ajar door was opened, and a gust of cold wind poured in, bringing in flakes of snow.
Everyone in the lobby immediately looked around and saw a general coming in. He turned around and closed the door, then stepped forward and saluted, "Great Khan, the scout has sent back the news!"
Wokuotai immediately asked seriously: "Where are the scouts?"
"Reporting to the Great Khan, they are the scouts sent to Luoyang!" The visitor reported: "They saw more than ten thousand Jin troops leaving Luoyang and heading towards Tongguan."
"Hahaha~" Ogedai couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Okay! All of the Khan's pre-war goals have been achieved. Generals, please obey!"
A group of Mongolian generals immediately stood up, beat their chests with their fists, bowed and saluted, "I'm here!"
Wokuotai was a little excited. If he could break through the Guanhe defense line and destroy the Jin Kingdom, no one in Mongolia would be able to challenge his position.
At this time, Wokuotai glanced at everyone and looked at Guo Dehai, "General Guo, I ordered you to lead an army of 20,000 people and immediately attack Zhengzhou to capture this city for me."
Guo Dehai immediately saluted and said, "I accept your order!"
Wokuotai ordered: "After you capture Zhengzhou, you will pin it to me to block the Kaifeng Jin soldiers, prevent them from advancing westward, and interfere with my capture of Luoyang and Tongguan. Do you understand?"
Guo Dehai was quite confident, "Don't worry, Khan, I will definitely capture Zhengzhou and won't let the Jin soldiers go west beyond Zhengzhou."
Wokuotai nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Subotai, "I have ordered you to be the vanguard. You will lead an army of 10,000 horses to attack Hulao Pass for me, and open the way to Luoyang for me."
"I obey!" Subotai also quickly accepted the order. Like Guo Dehai, he had been relatively close to Tuolei before, so he naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to show his loyalty to Wo Kuotai.
Wokuotai looked at the remaining generals and said word by word! "The remaining generals will follow me and the army will march to Luoyang!"
After Wokuotai's military order, the 100,000 Mongolian troops in Weizhou immediately took action. The cavalry galloped out of the camp, the infantry packed up, marched with carts and sheep, and marched in a mighty manner.
As soon as the Mongolian army moved, the Jin Kingdom's scouts discovered that the Mongolian army was dispatched and immediately reported to Kaifeng.
At midnight, the city of Kaifeng was dark and silent except for the soldiers patrolling the city walls, holding torches in one hand and guns in the other, patrolling back and forth on the city wall.
At this time, outside the dark city, a rapid sound of horse hooves came. A moment later, three cavalrymen rushed over, reined their horses in front of the city gate, raised their heads and shouted to the city: "Open the city gate quickly! Military situation
Extremely urgent!"
When the soldiers on guard on the city heard the noise, they quickly leaned out to check and saw that there were only three cavalrymen. Then they dropped the rope from the city and pulled them up.
As soon as the cavalry entered the city, the leader said urgently: "We have an urgent military situation and we must report it to the Prime Minister and Your Majesty."
The defenders on the city identified the cavalry and immediately found horses for them. The cavalry got off the top of the city, got on their horses, and galloped towards the Privy Council.
The war horses were galloping, and the clatter of horse hooves hit the ground. The people in Kaifeng City who had just fallen asleep were awakened again, and everyone felt a little uneasy.
Wanyan Shouxu has been under a lot of pressure lately. He just had some exercise with his beloved concubine to relieve the pressure and fell asleep a little tired.
Because the emperor had been too tired and stressed recently, his performance was not very good. After he finished his work and went to bed, his beloved concubine beside him had just started to get a little interested, but the exercise stopped abruptly, so he felt a little depressed and couldn't sleep while lying on the bed.
