Chapter 853 Father and Son (Part 1)

The heavy mountain of glue rolled backwards following Genghis Khan's kicking movements.

There was a "thud" sound on his head, and something hit him. As he was feeling dizzy, something like a small stone hit his face.

He wiped his face vigorously to wake himself up. Only then did he realize that he had crashed into a large car with high roofs. Those small stone-like things were rings, bracelets and necklaces contained in deerskin bags on the car, because

It shook and fell in pieces.

A ring fell in front of Chongshan's eyes.

The huge ruby ​​inlaid on it reflected the flickering sunlight, almost blinding him. If such a treasure were placed in the Zhongdu City of the Great Jin Kingdom, one piece would be worth hundreds of gold or even more.

Nian Zhongshan stood up quickly, gathered these ornaments with both hands, and put them back into the deerskin bag on the cart.

There were a total of twelve such high-hauled carts, which were placed not far in front of Genghis Khan. When he came to the mountain, he thought they were ordinary vehicles. Only then did he notice that each of the carts was filled with extremely expensive items.

Materials.

Some cars are colorful, shining with the light of jewelry; some cars are full of gold, with gold statues, tableware, jewelry and fist-sized gold nuggets piled up in a haphazard manner; some cars are simply filled with what the locals call

They were used as "dinar" coins; some cars were loaded with fox furs and mink furs, and even the dust in the sky could not hide their soft light.

"Jurchens! I speak and you record it."

Genghis Khan called.

Nianhe Zhongshan quickly knelt down on the ground, raised his head with his hands on the ground, and waited for the Khan's instructions.

"These things were all given to me by my son Jochi. Starting last year, he marched westward along the Syr Darya River and captured the cities of Xignahei, Yangjigan, Balzhen and Zang, and then

He stationed Yuerti in Yangjigan, assisted in the pursuit of the enemy Subotai, and prepared to march on the Qinchak grassland. These are his trophies, and they are all very valuable treasures."

"Yes Yes."

As soon as he touched the pen and ink, Genghis Khan squinted and said, "But that's not what I want."

He lightly shook the reins and let the war horse spin: "The situation in our hometown, the southern part of the Mongolian grassland, has changed. All Mongolians need to gather together to discuss how to deal with this change. So I issued an order to Jochi to

He settled his tribesmen and cattle and sheep in the lost city of Hulanba between Ares and Taras, and then took the Uighurs and Turkic cavalry together to participate in the Khuriltai held on the banks of the Syr Darya River.

Today, Jochi’s envoy came and told me that neither my son nor my son’s tribe can come back.”

Having said this, Genghis Khan paused and looked at the mountain of glue and kept writing.

Seeing that the entire piece of parchment was almost full, and the Jurchen was still smearing the gaps at the bottom, he frowned and coughed.

The mountain of glue shook as if it had been swept by a whip, and he quickly changed to another piece of parchment and continued recording.

"He said that the Kipchak cavalry under Jochi were unwilling to travel far and scattered many of them. He said that the Hashars and Uighur soldiers under Jochi were far less tough than the Mongols. After two years of fighting,

, they were all exhausted and needed to rest until the autumn before they could take action. He also said that Shuchi had eaten spoiled food and was sick. He was so ill that he could not ride a horse. He also specially sent people to the Shihe River in Ye'er to invite him.

The best shaman."

Having said this, Genghis Khan sneered twice, leaned down and asked, "Is that so?"

There was a man in gray robes who had been kneeling in front of Genghis Khan's horse, pressing his forehead tightly to the ground, making no sound or moving, like a stone. When he heard Genghis Khan's question, he raised his head: "

That’s it. Great Khan, I didn’t lie to you even a word.”

When the man raised his head, Nianhe Zhongshan recognized him. This was Khazhib from Khwarezm who surrendered after the Mongolian army conquered the city of Nadara. He was also a famous local church leader, known as "Hashuman"

The title was used by the Mongolian army to surrender several cities. Last year, Genghis Khan transferred him to Jochi's tent to serve as his subordinate. His status was second to that of Wanhu Nayanhunan.

Genghis Khan ignored Hajib and pointed to the mountain of adhesive:

"Jurchens, please continue to remember. My sons once swore to serve their father. If anyone wavers, he will be chopped down.

Cut off his head! If anyone escapes, crush his heel bone! Now that Jochi has received my order, but he refuses to do anything, this is a violation of his oath, which is a capital crime! What’s even more ridiculous is..."

Genghis Khan lowered his riding whip and pressed the tip of the whip against Hajib's head: "Jochi also plans to use these gold and silver money to blind my judgment, use these treasures to confuse my eyes, and cover up his betrayal!"

"Jochi did not betray the Great Khan! No one in the world dares to betray the Great Khan!"

Hajib loudly said: "These are just gifts from a son to his father; however, as a son, let me plead for my father's forgiveness and give more time to the hounds who have traveled thousands of miles away! The hounds need time to breathe.

It’s also to serve the master better!”

Genghis Khan took back his riding crop and took a deep breath.

Hazab thought he had impressed the Khan, so he took a few steps forward on his knees and continued: "We are already trying our best to raise funds. In two months at most, a thousand Kipchak cavalry will be able to reach the banks of the Syr Darya River; in another two months,

In a few months, there will be two thousand cavalry. In addition, there will also be enough livestock and three thousand good horses for the Khan and everyone around him!"

The mountains of bonding are secretly called bad.

Since the Mongolian army invaded the river, they have captured countless famous cities and controlled a vast land that is almost comparable to the Mongolian grassland. The strength of every ten thousand or one thousand household who participated in the Western Expedition is constantly expanding; Genghis Khan's four

The income of a son is far more than that of an ordinary Mongolian man.

For example, Jochi controlled a large area of ​​grassland and desert oases, and his troops reached the Khazar Sea. Not counting the more than ten thousand households in Mongolia, he had at least one Kipchak cavalry who could be called upon at any time.

There are 15,000 people; there are 10,000 Uighurs; there are 30,000 Hashar who were drawn from the people who surrendered in Khwarezm and Xiliao.

With such strength, when the Great Khan called, he only allocated 3,000 cavalry and 3,000 horses, and it took four months to arrive slowly? There were too many Khwarazmians and Turks gathered around Jochi.

Their vision is smaller than the eye of a needle. If they give this little thing, they do not regard the Khan as their master, they are just sending away beggars!

Not only did this blatantly violate the orders of the Great Khan, it was tantamount to splitting and defeating the Mongol Uluth, and it also insulted the dignity of the Great Khan!

Sure enough, upon hearing these words, Genghis Khan's expression completely changed, and the muscles in his cheeks visibly twitched several times.

"Jochi sent these gold and silver to cover my eyes and block my mouth. I don't want it. You came here on Jochi's behalf and deceived me with such stupid words. I don't want to see you alive either."

He waved his hand, and immediately some guards came up and dragged Hajib away.

Hajab struggled hard, kept defending, and shouted louder and louder. But this only made Genghis Khan even more angry. He waved to the other two guards again: "Melt those gold and silver and pour them into his mouth."

, so that he can’t shout anymore!”

No one dared to dissuade him, no one even dared to move at this time.

Countless people were just silent.

The guards summoned the blacksmith who was accompanying the army and ordered him to set up the furnace and light the fire for smelting.

The flames ignited, and everyone near them was sweating profusely, but remained silent. Only Hajib was screaming, pleading, wailing, and crying.

When his voice became hoarse, many precious gold and silver ornaments had turned into metallic liquid and flowed in the pottery crucible, emitting a dazzling light.

Hazhibu had a premonition of danger and began to struggle desperately. His outburst of strength made four or five people unable to control him. The guards had to tie him up with cowhide ropes, and seven or eight people held down his body and head respectively.

So that he can't move.

Hajib couldn't struggle violently, but the blacksmith's hands would shake. So when the crucible tilted, most of the red metallic liquid poured into Hajib's mouth and nose, and some of it inevitably splashed on several of the guards.

Those people immediately let out crazy screams and involuntarily moved back. New guards from the back row rushed up and continued to hold down Hajib's twitching body.

Fortunately, there was still more than half of the metallic liquid in the crucible, so Hajib's body stopped moving.

His entire head was out of shape. The lower part of his head, skin, flesh and brain tissue were almost completely intact.

They were all destroyed by the hot metal liquid. The bones turned black and peeled off finely to the golden-red metal surface, turning into fly ash. In the upper part of the skull, there was gold and silver that had not yet solidified, so the bones crackled under the high temperature.

There was a clicking sound and it started to break apart bit by bit.

The strong burnt smell wafted in the wind and was unbearable. The guards endured nausea and dragged the body back to Genghis Khan.

During the dragging process, the carbonized tissue at the neck of the corpse was shaken away, and the blood slowly seeped out, leaving a thick blood mark on the grass.

Genghis Khan looked at the corpse calmly. The tragedy in front of him made him feel relieved, so his mood calmed down a little.

After a while, he turned to Nianhe Zhongshan and said: "Jurchen, you stopped me just now and said you couldn't do it? Do you want to stop me? Do you think I can't kill Jochi? Or do you think Jochi shouldn't be killed?"

Can’t kill?”

I didn’t want to stop the Great Khan! I just made a mistake! As long as the fourth prince is left alone, it’s no problem for the Great Khan to kill anyone he wants! It’s no problem at all to kill Jochi! Whether Jochi is dead or alive is none of my business.

?Look at when Hajib died, didn’t I kneel down very honestly and didn’t say a word?

Nianhe Zhongshan wanted to explain this to Genghis Khan, but he felt that such an explanation was inappropriate and would make him follow in the footsteps of Hajib.

"The Great Khan..." he said tremblingly: "The fourth prince will always come back. After he returns to the Great Khan, if he asks about his brother Jochi, how should you answer?"

Genghis Khan was stunned.
