Muhuali has a round face that is common among grassland people. Due to years of fighting in the wild, his skin color is dark and reddish, and his shoulder muscles are extremely developed.
Because he has lived a good life in recent years and consumed a lot of meat and milk, his body is a bit bloated and his belly is fat. At first glance, it seems that he has a very generous character.
And when he spoke, he also had a calm and slow manner, which was very different from the barbaric and violent appearance of other Mongolians. He was even polite when he spoke.
But everyone around him knew that this distinguished Wanhu was the most distinguished among Genghis Khan's cronies. In theory, he could command the 62,000 left-hand troops around the Hela Wen Jedun Mountain in the Great Mongolian Kingdom.
He came to Beijing Road this time and received complete authorization from Genghis Khan. From now on, he will represent Genghis Khan in Liaodong and even in the entire territory of the Jin Kingdom and demonstrate the power of the Mongolian army!
So, when he smiled and praised, the inner circle of thousands of Nayan and hundreds of households from the tribe of Zhalayi'er, Uluruwuti, Busuwuti, Yiqilisi, and Hongjici all knelt down one after another.
On the ground.
These five tribes were all loyal tribes that had been praised by Genghis Khan, and the Tanma Red Army soldiers drawn from the tribes were all strong and capable warriors.
When they came this time, these brave households were full of passion for meritorious service. They waved their arms and sang loudly:
"In the day of battle, we are willing to fight with all our strength. In the day of fierce battle, we are willing to risk our lives to kill! We have sacked the Jurchens' cities, we have destroyed their relatives, and we have captured the rest of their people!
"
While the Qianhu Nayans were singing, a group of civil and military nobles staying in the outer circle looked at them with embarrassed expressions.
Most of these people were dressed as civil and military officials of the Jin Kingdom. Some knelt down, opened their mouths, and hummed along, while others showed a reserved posture and stood still.
But not long after, the Mongolian soldiers lined up in two rows along the road beat the ground with their spears and stamped their feet in time with the song, making a rhythmic roar.
This roar made all the Mongolian soldiers blush and rejoice. At first there were dozens, then hundreds or even thousands of soldiers sang together: "We have looted the enemy's cities, we have destroyed their relatives, we have
Capture the rest of them as well!"
The high-pitched and hoarse voices of many people echoed inside and outside the city gate. Only in certain corners of the city, the sound of bow strings and the clash of blades could occasionally be heard, but they soon disappeared completely amid the singing.
For the nobles in the outer circle, this kind of joyful singing seemed to have a huge intimidating effect, so one after another, everyone knelt down, whether they liked it or not, and opened their mouths to follow the singing.
Mu Huali continued to move unhurriedly. Although he did not have any power, his subordinates were all in awe.
They couldn't help but feel disrespected.
Only a month after Mu Huali arrived in Liaohai, the situation in Northeast China had changed so much that no one had ever imagined.
In the past few years, while warlords from various parts of the Northeast were fighting with the Mongolian army, they also sent troops to support the Jin Kingdom's Zhongdu many times, repeatedly reviving the crumbling city. This situation really disturbed Genghis Khan.
For the Mongols, an iron-like city with a circumference of dozens of miles is enough to make people hateful. What if there are thousands of miles of depth behind the city to support, and tens of thousands of troops can be continuously mobilized... What should they do?
That’s hard to deal with!
Throughout last year, Genghis Khan dispatched troops and horses to repeatedly raid Hebei and the Central Plains. He also dispatched elites to break into the Northeast and burn and kill them in order to destroy the Jin Kingdom's ability to recover and break up the regime's control over the local area.
However, although the Jin Kingdom declined, it had its own resilience. Although the plundering of several Mongolian armies brought countless wealth to itself, it was far from being able to crush the resistance of the Jin Kingdom. The capital city where the emperor of the Jin Kingdom was located has always stood firm.
shake.
Genghis Khan had to retreat in the end, but he and the powerful advisers and generals around him were always thinking about how to cut off the wings of the Jin Kingdom's capital.
This thing is really not easy. As far as the Northeast is concerned, this place is the ancestral land of the Jurchens and has always been guarded by strong soldiers and generals. In the past two years, the Mongolian army has even had strong generals like Zhebie who traveled 500 miles a day and night.
, captured Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo, but compared to the vast territory of the entire Northeast and the millions of Jurchens and Jurchen dependent ethnic groups, the losses were simply insignificant.
Later, according to Chen Nayan, he used Brother Yeluliu as his lackey and tried to use the Khitans to control the Jurchens. However, Brother Yeluliu had limited talents and was very selfish.
Although Brother Yeluliu boasted about his loyalty to the Great Mongolia before and after him, in his heart, he wanted to restore the long-dead Liao Dynasty. As a result, he could not act decisively and he could not achieve anything decent.
Results.
But now, with the arrival of Muhuali Wanhu, the huge arm of the Jin Kingdom in the northeast has been suddenly cut off. And there are more than one fractures.
At this moment, a series of important nodes such as Jinzhou, Yizhou, Xingzhong Prefecture, and even Dading Prefecture in Beijing have changed hands on the Liaohai Passage that connects the central capital of the Jin Kingdom to the northeastern hinterland. This arm of the Jin Kingdom has already
Completely and completely disconnected from the body, without a single joint or blood vessel being involved.
What Mu Huali did was actually very simple.
Muhuali first promised Pu Xianwannu many conditions, which aroused his ambition and made him take the initiative to kill his colleagues, and even took the initiative to send the elite soldiers of the Northeast Recruitment Department to the Mongolian butcher's knife.
Immediately, he aroused the vigilance of Yelvliu Ge, causing the Liao king to launch a sudden attack in order not to be abandoned by the Mongolian army.
These two families are a powerful and important force in the northeastern hinterland. When these two families caused trouble and started fighting to the death around Xianping Prefecture, warlords from all over the Northeast, whether in Fuzhou, Shangjing, Zhaozhou, or even for a period of time,
Wanyan Chengyu's troops were left behind in Tokyo, which had not raised troops, and they would all move accordingly.
In this world, how can any general be at peace with himself despite repeated defeats? No matter how incompetent Wanyan Chengyu is, he will always think of making meritorious deeds and avenging his shame.
Because Brother Yeluliu's Guangning Mansion occupies the eastern end of the Liaohai Passage, Wanyan Chengyu's 20,000 soldiers and horses have been isolated from several forces in the northeastern hinterland for more than half a year. But Brother Yeluliu's movements, as a close neighbor
,see it clearly.
What's more, in the city of Tokyo, there were many officials who were bribed by Mu Huali.
When Brother Yeluliu vigorously raised troops to attack Xianping Mansion, these officials made a noise at the right time, so Wanyan Chengyu launched an army to attack, intending to attack the old, weak, women and children whom Brother Yeluliu had placed in Guangning Mansion.
As soon as his troops and horses moved, Mu Huali's Wu Tou Xia Tan Ma Red Army immediately dispatched.
The two armies fought in the field, and the victory or defeat was instantly clear.
Wanyan Chengyu was as incompetent as ever, and the Jin army was crushed like sand by the Mongolian army. Tens of thousands of people fled in embarrassment, just like they had fled countless times before under the power of the Mongolian army.
The Mongolian army followed closely behind, galloping in pursuit, like calm hunters chasing a flock of yellow sheep that fled in a panic.
In just two days, Mu Huali killed Wanyan Chengyu, took advantage of the situation and captured many key passes on Beijing Road, cut off the arm of the Jin Kingdom, and also completed the two-sided siege of the Jin Kingdom's central capital.
Before such a victory, what does the entanglement and fierce fighting in Hampyeong Mansion matter? Who cares?
Regardless of the victory or defeat in that war, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. As long as these forces fight each other and don't bother them, Mu Huali thinks that is enough.
Mu Huali suddenly stood still.
He waved his hand back and summoned Shi Moye, a Khitan man who was ordered by Genghis Khan to serve as a rural guide:
"The speed of capturing the Dading Mansion in Beijing was faster than I imagined. You have made great contributions in this battle. Since the Dading Mansion has been burned, the people of Jinzhou City will all belong to you...
Keep them in check and continue fighting for the Great Khan!"
Shi Mo, who had narrow eyes and three locks of beard, also looked happy at first, but without refusing, he immediately kowtowed heavily: "Thank you Wanhu."
In this scene, when Mu Huali attacked Dading Prefecture in Beijing, he originally planned to use Shi Moye as the vanguard and lead a thousand cavalry.
Ye first replied: "Soldiers are extremely expensive, so why use more of them?"
At that moment, he led dozens of light cavalry, changed into official Jurchen attire, and went straight to Beijing.
He told the soldiers guarding the gate that I was the new guard general. He summoned the soldiers guarding the city in a grand manner and asked them to withdraw their defenses and replace them with newly transferred soldiers and horses.
The looseness of the Jin Army's defenders was really frightening. They just walked away without thinking much about it.
The next day Muhuali marched his troops straight forward and captured one of the five capitals of the Jin Kingdom in one fell swoop. As a result, he gained one hundred and eight thousand households, a mountain of supplies and equipment, forty-one Jin generals and three cities.
Twelve.
Mu Huali pondered for a moment and then said: "I am very happy that you have made many contributions. Originally, the Khitan people's affairs do not have to rely entirely on people named Yelu."
Shi Mo also bowed his head deeply: "Wanhu, I understand."
Mu Huali walked a few steps further and summoned his son Bo Lu: "Take two thousand fine cavalry and go to Xianping Prefecture. Meet Brother Kete. Bo Du likes those few."
Polo was a dashing young Mongolian nobleman, wearing a pointed hat and a blue leather robe. He stepped forward to salute and asked, "Isn't father annoyed with them?"
"These few people have been in Liaodong for more than two years, and they can be regarded as meritorious in long battles. Please pass on my order and ask them to withdraw their troops and come back."
