Because he was sweating the bad words in his heart, Na Minfu felt a little guilty and almost jumped up on the spot.
Then he heard Tuo Lei's calm voice: "That's Guo Ning's flag. I didn't expect him to come in person."
Naminfu became more frightened and said quickly: "Now that this person is here, his successors must not have many soldiers and horses. Fourth Prince, let's leave quickly to avoid anything happening!"
After shouting a few words, Na Minfu suddenly realized that such words clearly showed complete distrust of his own strength, and for the arrogant Tuo Lei, it was simply humiliating. He quickly bowed his head, not knowing how to continue persuading him.
Fortunately, Tuo Lei only twitched from the corner of his eye, as if he didn't hear the implication of Na Minfu's words at all.
After the defeat in Shandong the year before last, Na Minfu, an experienced and senior hundred households, accompanied Tuo Lei back to the grassland. The other tribes were severely punished by the Great Khan for their defeat, but Na Minfu was the only one who served as an envoy to take Tuo Lei back to the grassland.
With Tuo Lei's protection, he not only avoided actual punishment, but also retained his position in the Hundred Households and the black flag given by the Great Khan.
However, the power of drag thunder only goes so far.
Back then, as the youngest son who had been following Genghis Khan for a long time, he was able to suddenly take the lead in a large-scale war, driving many thousands of Nayan like lackeys. But now, the number of reliable subordinates that tow mines can drive is less than one-tenth of the original number.
1. Naminfu, the centurion, is already a very effective member.
In the past two years, Tuo Lei's life has also been difficult.
His special respected status on the grassland comes from the favor of the Great Khan. The reason why the favor of the Great Khan is valuable is based on the prestige of the Great Khan himself.
After all, Mongol Uluth is not a country in the true sense. In essence, it is still a military tribal alliance. The alliance itself has no system or laws at all, but the prestige of the tribal leader is too high and can crush it.
Suppress all opponents and implement your will into systems and laws.
Tuo Lei's humiliating defeat in Shandong made him a stain under the shining light of the Great Khan. The existence of this stain itself kept telling others that the Jin Kingdom was still powerful enough to defeat the Mongols.
Caused heavy losses, the Great Khan's strategy for the Jin Kingdom was flawed; and the expedition south was not an easy task, and there was a possibility of failure.
This stain not only affected Genghis Khan's prestige, but also weakened the Khan's control over countless tribes. In this case, hiding this stain became the best choice. Therefore, Tuo Lei has not appeared in the Mongolian tribes for three full years.
When Khulil was on the stage, he rarely saw the Great Khan, and rarely acted with his brothers such as Jochi, Ogodei, and Chagatai.
But until the next year, when the Great Khan urged the tribes to go south again and launched a severe attack on the Jin Kingdom, many tribal leaders cited the failure of Tuolei as an example to shirk the Great Khan's recruitment.
Every dispute they had on the Khuril stage was a mockery of Tuo Lei. And every time they mentioned Tuo Lei, it would arouse the members of the Golden Family to be dissatisfied with this loser.
Tuo Lei has thought a lot in the past three years. In his opinion, this fear of small failures is a side effect of Genghis Khan's splitting the grassland tribes into ninety-five thousand households.
After the originally large tribe was split into thousands of households, no single thousand households could stand up to the Great Khan's authority alone. However, a single thousand households could not withstand the huge losses on the battlefield due to their financial resources.
In Shandong and Liaodong, nearly ten thousand Mongolian households were defeated at the hands of Ding Haijun. Each thousand households were severely damaged and could not recover without three to five years. Such risks made many thousands households miserable.
They all had doubts about the strategy of going south to conquer gold. This doubt was also about Genghis Khan and the bright future promised to everyone by Genghis Khan.
In order to deal with this situation, Genghis Khan must prove himself. There are only two ways to prove himself. One is to seize the central capital of the Jin Kingdom, destroy the Jin Kingdom or force the Jin Kingdom to surrender completely; the second is to simply defeat the Ding Navy.
As long as these two points can be achieved, Genghis Khan's prestige will rise to a new height, and his control over the grassland will be restored to a monolithic state. Therefore, Genghis Khan mobilized his elite troops to quickly break into the territory of the Jin Kingdom. He felt that such power was enough
.Then he suffered a tragic failure.
After this failure, the pressure on Tuo Lei suddenly eased, and no one criticized Tuo Lei's incompetence anymore. However, the pressure faced by the entire Golden Family increased tenfold and a hundred times. It can even be said that if the response is not careful, it will
It's a devastating disaster.
After all, the Mongols only obey the strong!
After all, those generations who once bowed their knees to the Kingdom of Jin are still alive!
If Genghis Khan was not a strong man, it would be inevitable for many tribes to change their ways.
At this time, many conflicts suddenly surfaced, and they could no longer be resolved by debating and singing on the Kulile platform. The great shaman Huoerchi, who represented the Changshengtian, died on the battlefield. The oracle or something,
It seems that the weight is not as good as it used to be. Genghis Khan himself was even less able to maintain the method of using victory to inspire and profit to bribe.
Fortunately, Genghis Khan could still rule with fear, and he never lacked the ruthlessness, violence and efficiency to create fear.
In the shortest possible time, Genghis Khan launched a massacre against the vacillating people and those with malicious intentions on the grassland. In just two months, both the left and right wings of the Great Mongolia were cut off by one-third of the thousand households.
Every surviving Qianhu Nayan kissed Genghis Khan's boots and swore allegiance again.
However, after reunifying the grasslands, the basic problems of Great Mongolia remained the same.
Where are the interests? Where are the pastures?
As the Great Khan of the Mongols, Genghis Khan told everyone that this problem is very simple. Since advancing eastward has been frustrated, then advance westward.
Be it the Xia Kingdom, the forest tribes in the Land of Eight Rivers, the Naiman Tribe on both sides of the Shihe River in Ye'er, the remnants of the Klei Tribe, or the Ju people on the Balasagon side who seem to be related to the Khitan people.
No matter Erhan. None of them is as wealthy as the Jin Kingdom, and their territory is smaller, but any one of them is easier to deal with than the Jin Kingdom.
The Mongols, who have experienced defeat, are about to drink their blood and bite their flesh to strengthen themselves. The pace of marching westward will not stop until the power of the Mongols becomes stronger and stronger, reaching a level that is enough to overwhelm the Jin Kingdom.
To the extent...then the time for revenge has come.
In order to advance this strategy, Genghis Khan has assembled a huge force and will show an unprecedented iron flow west of the plateau. But at the same time, he must also stabilize the eastern part of the grassland and reach a temporary peace with the Jin Kingdom.
That's why Tou Lei came here.
This was not Tuo Lei's initiative to ask for a job, but was personally assigned by Genghis Khan. After all, most of the proud Mongolians were unwilling to take on this task, and in Genghis Khan's eyes, only his son, who had also experienced failure, could endure the humiliation.
Tuo Lei originally thought that after arriving at a certain Jin stronghold and proposing his intention to sue for peace, he would be transferred to the central capital of the Jin Kingdom. He would inevitably be humiliated in the process. Fortunately, he was lucky, Guo Ning was here.
Although Guo Ning is extremely ferocious, he is straightforward and straightforward. If we can meet him once, both parties will be able to decide whether the peace is successful or not, and there will be no need to worry about intimidating and deceiving each other, whether it is true or false.
"Na Minfu, let's take a walk."
Tuo Lei took a deep breath and lifted his chest as high as possible.
Without waiting for Naminfu to answer, he suddenly urged his horse and bolted out from the forest and deep grass.
They quickly galloped onto the road. This road was the road that connected Longmen and Jinshan, and was extremely valued by Zhao Xuan. Walking on this road, Tuo Lei felt waves of excitement in his heart.
This road has been abandoned for a long time. Tuo Lei can even see the traces of thousands of iron hooves trampling it when he and Chiju Consort led the army to attack Jinshan the year before last. Han'er wants to restore it, probably only one or two recently.
About the month.
But in such a short period of time, the road that was originally buried in the grass has regained some of its appearance. Tuo Lei can see the stone pestles used for ramming earth scattered on the roadside; he can see the drainage marked with lime.
The direction of the ditch; I saw wood being piled up every ten miles, indicating that it was planned to build an observation site.
This kind of meticulous and methodical construction is never seen on the grassland. Herders live by water and grass, relying on the sky for food, without roads, water conservancy, cities or even anything that requires human labor to build. But Han'er
Obviously don't think so.
Tuo Lei keenly felt that they were willing to build and invest manpower and material resources because construction could bring them a lot of things. This was also one of the reasons for the rapid growth of Ding Haijun's regime. However, he still did not know the specific reason behind it.
clear.
After Tuo Lei and his party left the cover of the forest for a moment, they were spotted by a dense crowd of sentry riders outside Jinshan City. Accompanied by the sound of chirping one after another, the sentry riders gathered from several directions and looked at Tuo Lei and others with vigilance.
There is no doubt that these sentry riders are excellent warriors. Their riding skills are not as good as those of the Mongols, but they are still skilled enough. They stay in front of Tuo Lei and others, and their posture of losing alert while holding their bows is also very sophisticated. Take a closer look
, it can be seen that everyone's face is tense, but there is no fear or fear. Some veterans, who are obviously officers such as generals, still have a vague bloodthirsty and excitement on their faces.
After three consecutive years of fighting with the Kingdom of Jin, this is the result.
The Mongolian warriors destroyed hundreds of cities, looted mountains of wealth, and killed millions of soldiers and civilians of the Jin Kingdom. However, they also contributed to the emergence of a new force within the Jin Kingdom. The birth of this new force
Living in a sea of blood, they are not afraid of the Mongols at all. In their eyes, they are simply a powerful political power that can be compared with the Mongolian Uluth.
Three years ago, this kind of person would have been regarded by Tuo Lei as a fool who was bound to die, but now Tuo Lei has no such idea. If they are fools, who is Tuo Lei himself?
The drag horse stops.
When a sentry rider slowly walked up to Tuo Lei with his sword on his waist, an interpreter flashed out from behind Tuo Lei, coughed twice, and was about to speak. Tuo Lei stretched out his arm and used a riding crop on the interpreter's shoulder.
Last one: "I'll do it myself."
He turned to the sentinel and said, "I am Tuo Lei, the fourth prince of the Great Mongolian Kingdom. I am seeking to see Guo Ning, the Marshal of the Great Jin Kingdom. I am here to negotiate peace."
His speech was very slow, but his words were clear and standard Chinese.
