Chapter 594

Genghis Khan led his cowardly army and was defeated at the Triangle Lake in the north of Bazhou.

This news had reached Mu Huali two days ago.

Because Qi Xue, who was flying to report the military situation, did not hesitate to run to the death of his horse and hurried on the road, the time he arrived in front of Mu Huali was only half a day later than the cavalry team transporting Pu San Anzhen and other prisoners.When the Great Khan was defeated, this Qixue followed Shiji Hutuhu to launch a flank attack, so he couldn't tell the development of the whole battle situation, but the failure was certain, and it was a failure with heavy casualties.

After Mu Huali heard the news, he immediately issued two orders.

The first order was to send five times more cavalry to completely seal off the surrounding area of ​​Zhongdu, cut off all roads, kill anyone within sight of the cavalry, and never allow this news to spread to Zhongdu.

This is difficult to do. After all, the surrounding area of ​​Zhongdu is densely populated and there are many ghosts in the ground. Someone always knows some secret paths or small paths.The area of ​​Bazhou and Yongqing is directly south of Daxing Mansion in the central capital, and the whole journey to the central capital is 150 miles away. There is no obstacle except for the east and west veins of the Lugou River.

But the Mongolian cavalry, relying on the tenacity of ordinary people and a bit of luck, managed to do it.Mu Huali was very sure about this, because if the city knew that Genghis Khan was defeated, they would have rejoiced and rejoiced in the past few days, and they would not be able to suppress it.

The second order was to cut off the head of servant San Anzhen, and asked Shi Mo to come forward to see him first, and send it to Zhongdu, to the important minister in charge of military power in Zhongdu city.

It's a pity.Although Pu San Anzhen was defeated and captured, her demeanor was not bad, and she was still calm.Mu Huali originally wanted to concoct him slowly.If a Jurchen official like this can be recruited and used by the Great Khan, it may be more effective than the Khitans like Yelu Ahai and Shima Ming'an.

But the situation was like this, and Mu Huali had no choice.At this time, Mu Huali needed the people in the capital to be nervous and fearful, and needed them to think that they had the absolute confidence to break the city and their strong desire to kill.

The news of the defeat of the Great Khan cannot be isolated for a long time.These two days were when Zhongdu City was at its weakest, and if the opportunity was lost, it would be impossible to break the city.Therefore, Pu San Anzhen's head is now more useful than himself.You have to use servant Anzhen's head to frighten people, in order to have a deterrent effect and prompt those people to make an early decision.

This time, the Mongolian army went south with less troops, originally only for Zhongdu.It was because Jebe died in battle that he temporarily adjusted his target, intending to kill Guo Ning and avenge Jebe.Now that Genghis Khan has lost, this goal will never be mentioned again in the short term.If the Great Khan didn't want to return to the grassland in disgrace, he had to win some other victory, so that this southward journey would not turn into a complete failure.

What kind of victory can be worth the disastrous defeat of the cowardly Xue army, and the embarrassment of the Khan fleeing on the battlefield?
In fact, there is not. If you have to find one, then you have to go back to the original goal and win the Central Capital.

If you take Zhongdu, you will cut off the head of the entire Jin Kingdom, leaving those arms and arms to convulse and wait for death; Many tribes, dispel their doubts; after capturing Zhongdu, the Mongolian army will have a stronghold outside the grassland that can be operated for a long time. Enough to maintain the offensive against all parts of the Kingdom of Jin!

Therefore, servant San Anzhen died.

As expected, Shuhu Gao Qi chose to surrender.

The chaotic state in the city was obviously the result of Shuhu Gao Qi's actions.

However, the Jurchens are really treacherous, and this Shuhu Gao Qi, who is said to have come to power by taking advantage of the coup and was promoted by flattering the emperor, is really treacherous.

Mu Huali's hope is that Shuhu Gaoqi first seizes the city gate, opens the city gate so that the Mongolian cavalry can break in, and then cooperates with the Mongolian army to pull out the strongholds in the city one by one.He clearly told Shi Mo Yexian this idea, Shi Mo Yexian was a smart and reliable messenger, and he would not discount his message.

But Shuhu Gao Qi did not do this.

This timid and greedy guy chose to do it directly in the city.It was obvious that he wanted to use the prestige of the Mongolian army to shock the whole city, and after the city was under control, he would turn back to negotiate terms with the Mongolians.Perhaps he felt that the title of King Yan and the strength of two ten thousand households on the left and right wings were not enough?
It's a pity that Da Khan didn't know this title at all, and it was only Mu Huali himself who made the promise to Shuhu Gaoqi.Even the heavy Yanwang gold seal was made urgently by craftsmen who melted a batch of gold ornaments. When Mu Huali handed it to Shi Moyexian, it was still a little hot.

It is impossible for Shuhu Gaoqi to realize his good wishes, and he also can't even think about holding Zhongdu City in his own hands.

The Jurchens have been besieged in the city for so long, like sheep that don't go out for a month, they are going crazy.The chaos in the city has just begun, and it will soon affect the army, and then the city gate will inevitably open.

The next step is to take advantage of the good opportunity to rush in and kill everyone in one go, turning this big city into a Mongol!

This approach is, of course, somewhat dangerous.

Mu Huali's troops were a little less.

After Qi Xue's army went south, Mu Huali could dispatch only four thousand households who were not satisfied with the quota, and a group of Khitan people.There were a lot of troops attached to the Beijing Road who were besieging Tongzhou and Zhigu Village separately, scattered all over Zhongdu Road, but Mu Huali didn't dare to use any of them.

After the news of Genghis Khan's defeat spread, the most likely to be shaken were these newcomers. If they got into trouble, Mu Huali couldn't handle it at all.

The best possibility at this time is that Genghis Khan selects the remaining Qixue army, so that all those who still have fighting spirit rush to Mu Huali's command.

But Mu Huali knew that it was impossible for Genghis Khan to do this.

The weakness after the defeat required Genghis Khan to try to keep enough troops by his side. At this time, the remaining Qixue army was especially precious and could not be handed over to others.Even if Mu Huali himself is cowardly, it won't work.In addition, Genghis Khan would not be willing to let more people see his embarrassment, so he did not send an order for Mu Huali to join him.

So Mu Huali had to rely on the troops at hand to solve the problem.

That's okay too.Mu Huali followed Genghis Khan for 20 years, from a slave to a left-wing household leader.In his eyes, Genghis Khan was an ambitious leader and a reliable master, but not an omnipotent god.

Before Genghis Khan unified the Mongolian tribes, he failed many times on the battlefield. After unifying Mongolia, he also failed in the wars against Xia and Jin.Failure is not terrible, as long as you find a way to get back the situation, the whole war can still be called a victory.

Mu Huali has always been the one responsible for turning the situation around.

At that time, Genghis Khan and Tuoli Khan were unfavorable in the battle. It was Mu Huali who led the Jingqi Yexieqi camp, and forced Tuoli Khan to die. In the decisive battle between Mongolia and Dajin in Yehuling, it was Mu Huali who led the elite from Badger himself. Zuidao launched an assault and smashed the Jin army's defense line.

Later, Genghis Khan put Chen Nayan in charge of incorporating Yeluliu's troops, and then expanded his power to Liaodong. As a result, Yeluliu and the Mongolian army he assisted were all defeated.It was Mu Huali again who instigated in Guangning Mansion, not only took control of Yeluliu's remaining troops, but also took the opportunity to go west and captured Dading Mansion in Beijing.

Mu Huali always has a way, and Mu Huali will never disappoint Da Khan.

It's the same this time.

"Come on, are the warriors ready?"

"Get ready! We can't wait for the blade to be stained with blood!" The Mongolian knight's eyes reflected the flames in the capital, as red as blood.

　I have something to do tomorrow afternoon and evening, so let’s update the chapter first, Chapter 2 is still in the middle of the night.
