Chapter 650

Naminfu's shoulder was suddenly patted.

Because he was muttering bad things about Khan in his heart, Naminfu 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 was even more terrified, and hurriedly said: "Since this man has come, there must be many soldiers and horses in his successor. Fourth prince, let's go quickly to avoid accidents!"

After yelling a few words, Naminfu also suddenly realized that such words clearly did not trust his own strength at all, and to the proud Tuo Lei, it was nothing short of humiliating.He quickly bowed his head, not knowing how to continue persuading.

Fortunately, Tuo Lei's eyes twitched, as if he didn't hear what Naminfu said.

After losing the battle in Shandong the year before last, the experienced senior Naminfu returned to the grassland with Tuo Lei.The rest of the ministries were severely punished by the Khan because of their defeat in the war. Only Naminfu was protected by Tuolei because of his meritorious service as an envoy to take back Tuolei. The bestowed black banner.

However, the power of Tuo Lei can only reach this level.

Back then, as the youngest son who had followed Genghis Khan for a long time, he was able to suddenly take the lead in a large-scale war, driving thousands of households to look like lackeys.But now, the number of reliable subordinates that Tuo Lei can drive is less than one-tenth of the original.Naminfu, the centurion, is already a very capable member.

In the past two years, Tuo Lei's life has also been difficult.

His special status of reverence on the grassland comes from the great Khan's love for him.The reason why the Great Khan's favor is valuable is also based on the prestige of the Great Khan himself.

Yeke Mongol Ulus is not a real country after all.In essence, it is still a military tribal alliance.The alliance itself has no systems and laws to speak of, but the prestige of the tribal leaders is too lofty, enough to crush all opponents and implement their will into systems and laws.

Tuo Lei's humiliating defeat in Shandong made him a stain under the shining light of profuse sweat.The existence of this stain itself is constantly telling others: the Jin Kingdom is still powerful enough to cause heavy losses to the Mongols, and the Khan’s strategy for the Jin Kingdom is flawed; and the southward conquest is not easy, and there is a possibility of failure of.

This stain not only affected Genghis Khan's prestige, but also weakened the Khan's control over countless tribes.That being the case, hiding this stain has become the best choice.Therefore, Tuo Lei has not appeared on the Kuliltai of the Mongolian tribes for three full years. He seldom saw the Great Khan, and he rarely acted with his elder brothers such as Jochi, Okuotai, 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 Kingdom of Jin, many tribal leaders cited the failure of Tuolei as an example to shirk the Great Khan's recruitment.

Every time they argued on the kulil platform, it was a mockery of Tuo Lei.And every time they mentioned Tuolei, it would arouse dissatisfaction among the members of the Golden Family towards this loser.

Tuo Lei has thought a lot about it in the past three years.In his view, this kind of timidity because of small failures is a side effect of Genghis Khan's splitting of the grassland tribes into 95 households.

After the originally huge tribe was split into thousands of households, no one of the thousand households could stand alone against the authority of the Great Khan.However, the background of a single thousand households cannot bear the huge losses on the battlefield.

In Shandong and Liaodong, nearly ten Mongolian thousand households were defeated by Ding Haijun.Every thousand households have lost their vitality, and it is impossible to recover after three to five years.This kind of risk made many thousands of Nayans have doubts about the strategy of going south to cut gold.This misgiving, and at the same time doubts about Genghis Khan, are doubts about Genghis Khan's promise of a better future for all.

In order to deal with this situation, Genghis Khan had to prove himself.There are no more than two ways to prove yourself. One is to seize the central capital of the Kingdom of Jin, destroy the Kingdom of Jin or force the Kingdom of Jin to surrender completely;

As long as these two points can be achieved, Genghis Khan's prestige will jump to a new height, and his control over the grassland will be restored to monolithic.Therefore, Genghis Khan mobilized the elite of his headquarters to rush into the territory of the Kingdom of Jin.He felt that such strength was enough.Then he failed miserably.

After this failure, the pressure on Tuo Lei suddenly eased, and no one accused Tuo Lei of being incompetent.But the pressure faced by the entire gold family has increased tenfold and a hundredfold. It can even be said that if the response is a little careless, it will be a catastrophe.

After all, the Mongols only obey the strong!
After all, the generation that once bowed their knees to the Dajin Kingdom is still alive!
If Genghis Khan is not a strong man, it is inevitable for many tribes to change course.

At this time, many conflicts suddenly surfaced, and they could no longer be resolved by debating and singing on the kulil stage.Huoerchi, the great shaman representing Changshengtian, died on the battlefield, and the oracle seems to be not as important as it used to be.Genghis Khan himself was even more unable to maintain the means of encouraging with victory and buying with benefits.

Fortunately, Genghis Khan can still use fear to rule, and he has never lacked the cruelty, violence and efficiency of creating fear.

In the shortest period of time, Genghis Khan massacred the vacillating and malicious people on the grassland. It took only two months to cut off one-third of the thousand households on the left and right wings of the Mongolian Kingdom.Every Qianhu Nayan that survived kissed Genghis Khan's boots and swore allegiance again.

However, after the reunification of the grasslands, the basic problem of the Great Mongolia remains the same.

Where is the interest?Where is the pasture?
As the Great Khan of the Mongols, Genghis Khan told everyone that this question is very simple.Since the eastward advance is frustrated, then advance westward.

Whether it is the Xia Kingdom, the forest tribes in the land of eight rivers, the rest of the Naiman and Kelei tribes on both sides of the Shihe River in Yeer, and the chrysanthemums that seem to be related to the Khitan people on the side of Bala Sagon. Erhan is also good.None of their families are as rich and small as Jin Guo, but any family is easier to deal with than Jin Guo.

The Mongols who have experienced failure are about to drink their blood and bite their flesh to strengthen themselves.The pace of advancing westward will not stop until the power of the Mongols becomes stronger and stronger, reaching a level that can overwhelm the Kingdom of Jin... That is the time for revenge.

In order to advance this strategy, Genghis Khan has assembled a huge force, which 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 Kingdom of Jin.

That's why Tuo 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 Mongols are unwilling to take on this task, and in the eyes of Genghis Khan, only this son who has also experienced failure can endure humiliation.

Tuo Lei originally thought that after he arrived at a Jinren stronghold and proposed a peace proposal, he would be transferred to the central capital of the Jin Kingdom, and he would inevitably be humiliated in the process.Fortunately, his luck is good, Guo Ning is here.

Although Guo Ning is extremely vicious, he has a straightforward temperament.If you can meet with him, the agreement can be reached or not, and the two sides can decide with one word, so you don't have to worry about intimidating and deceiving each other, true and false.

"Naminf, let's go."

Tuo Lei took a deep breath, trying to puff up his chest.

Without waiting for Naminfu to answer, he urged his horse abruptly and rushed out from the woodland and tall grass.

Soon they were galloping on the road.This road is the one that connects Longmen and Jinshan and is highly valued by Zhao Xuan.Walking on this road, Tuo Lei felt a burst of heart palpitations.

This road has been abandoned for a long time, and Tuo Lei can even see the traces of thousands of iron hooves trampling on Jinshan when he and his son-in-law led the army to attack Jinshan the year before last.Han'er wanted to restore it, probably in the last one or two months.

But in such a short period of time, the road that was originally lost in the grass has recovered somewhat.Tuo Lei could see stone pestles for ramming earth scattered along the road; he could see the direction of the drainage ditch marked with lime; he could see that wood was piled up every ten miles, which was intended to build a lookout station appearance.

This kind of fine and orderly construction has never been seen on the grassland.Herdsmen live by water and grass, rely on the sky for food, and do not need roads, water conservancy, cities or anything that requires human construction.But the Han children obviously don't think so.

Tuo Lei keenly felt that they were willing to build and invest manpower and material resources, it must be because the construction could bring them many things in exchange, which was also one of the reasons for the rapid growth of the Ding Naval regime.However, he still didn't understand the specific reason.

Tuo Lei and his party left the cover of the woodland a little bit before they were discovered by the dense sentinels outside Jinshan City.Accompanied by the sound of beeping, the sentry cavalry gathered from several directions, watching Tuo Lei and the others vigilantly.

There is no doubt that these sentinels are excellent fighters.Their riding skills are naturally inferior to those of the Mongols, but they are also skilled enough.They stayed in front of Tuo Lei and the others, holding bows and arrows in a guarded posture, and they were very experienced.If you look closely, you can see that there is tension on everyone's face, but there is no fear or fear.On the faces of some old soldiers who were obviously generals, there was still a faint color of bloodthirsty and excitement.

This is the result of the three consecutive years of fighting with Jin Guo.

Mongol warriors destroyed hundreds of cities, plundered mountains of wealth, and killed millions of soldiers and civilians of the Kingdom of Jin, but they also contributed to the emergence of new forces within the Kingdom of Jin.This brand-new power was born in the sea of ​​blood, so it is not afraid of the Mongols at all. In their eyes, they are simply a powerful regime that can be compared with Yeke Mongol Ulus.

Three years ago, this kind of person would be regarded by Tuo Lei as a fool who was sure to die, but now Tuo Lei has no such idea.If they were fools, what was Torrey himself?

Tuo Lei reined in and stopped.

When a sentinel walked slowly in front of Tuo Lei holding his waist knife.An interpreter flashed out from behind Tuo Lei, coughed twice, and was about to speak.Tuo Lei stretched out his arm, and put a horsewhip on the interpreter's shoulder: "I'll do it myself."

He turned to the sentry horse: "I am Tuo Lei, the fourth prince of the Mongolian Kingdom, and I am asking to see Guo Ning, Marshal of the Capital of the Great Jin Kingdom. I am here to discuss peace."

His voice is very slow, but his words are straight and round, which is standard Chinese.
