Usurpation of Mongolia: My father-in-law is Genghis Khan

Chapter 34: Complete destruction, unification of the grassland!
Seeing that another young man with a lasso came up to lasso the golden wild horse, Zhao Shuo waited quietly for his opportunity.

When the golden wild horse was less than three feet away from him, Zhao Shuo suddenly exerted force, took a few quick steps, grabbed the golden wild horse's mane, and jumped up!

Herod——

The golden wild horse realized that someone was riding on its back and immediately let out another roar.

It tossed and turned furiously, sometimes standing up like a human, trying to throw Zhao Shuo off the horse. Sometimes it kicked wildly, trying to throw Zhao Shuo off the horse. Sometimes it ran quickly, then stopped abruptly, trying to throw Zhao Shuo off.

When it comes to horsemanship, Zhao Shuo is no better than Altana, who is good at running.

But he was born with supernatural strength and an extremely strong will. At this moment, he didn't care about anything else and just grabbed the horse's mane tightly, refusing to get off.

"The prince consort is mighty!"

"My dear Prince Consort, please work harder and make this beast surrender!"

"Hold on! As long as you hold on, you will win!"

……

The grassland soldiers who were watching the scene shouted excitedly and cheered.

Of course they knew that the most common way to tame wild horses was to capture them, then use both kindness and force to gradually cultivate feelings for them.

However, the oldest and most effective method is to simply mount the horse without a saddle or bridle. If you can manage to avoid falling off the horse before it loses its strength, the horse will be submissive and will forever recognize you as its sole master, with the master at your disposal. The only drawback to this method is that you need the skill! The better the horse, the harder it is to use this method.

Obviously, the son-in-law Zhao Shuo used this method to deal with the golden wild horse!
Herod——

After another hour or so of struggling, even the majestic golden wild horse was now panting and sweating profusely.

But it still refused to surrender, and let out another long roar, then charged towards the army on guard around it regardless of anything!
"Get out of the way! Don't hurt it!" Zhao Shuo quickly gave an order.

If it was any other Mongolian noble, these soldiers would have the duty to protect him and would never dare to move out of his way.

But who doesn't know that Zhao Shuo is the most courageous warrior in Mongolia? It's impossible that he couldn't even defend himself against a wild horse, right?

They made way for the golden warhorse carrying Zhao Shuo and galloping off into the distance.

Hedahei led Atu'er and five hundred personal guards and chased after him relentlessly.

After running for about two hours, Zhao Shuo's arms were sore, his legs were almost numb, and he was sweating profusely.

The golden warhorse also reached its limit, gasping for breath and covered in sweat as if it had just been fished out of the river, and its speed was getting slower and slower.

Herod——

Suddenly, it let out a soft roar and stood still.

"Is it done?"

Zhao Shuo was overjoyed and held on for about five more minutes before getting off the horse.

Then, he grabbed the golden wild horse's mane with one hand and plucked a handful of hay from the ground with the other hand and put it into the golden wild horse's mouth.

The golden wild horse not only ate the hay, but also licked Zhao Shuo's palm affectionately.

"It really worked! From now on, I'll call you Gilgamesh. Yes, the great Emperor Gilgamesh is my mount, haha!"

Only then did Zhao Shuo feel relieved and lay down on the ground.

After about half an hour, Zhao Shuo and the golden wild horse had recovered some strength, and Altana arrived late with 500 soldiers.

Seeing the golden wild horse standing still and docilely beside Zhao Shuo, how could Altana and others not understand what was happening?
They all dismounted, bowed respectfully, and said, "Congratulations, Prince Consort, on the birth of your divine horse!"

"This is a good sign! The Eternal Heaven is protecting us!" Zhao Shuo was also very happy. The golden glittering horse was probably no less magical than the historical horses such as Wuzhui and Red Hare. So he said, "Today I am happy to obtain a divine horse. I believe that the day of capturing the three sons of Tuoheituo'a is not far away!"

The end of Hudu, Chilawen and Mazhaer is indeed not far away.

Compared with the pursuit army sent by Genghis Khan in history, Zhao Shuo had a significant advantage - Altana, who was good at running.

He is smart and flexible, full of tricks, and is best at raids, sneak attacks and hiding. If he uses these methods in reverse, he will become an expert in tracking.

In fact, over the past six months, Zhao Shuo has caught them on the tail several times, and now there are only sixty or seventy people left.

Another three months later.

"Zhao Shuo, it's Temujin who has a grudge against us! Why do you have to kill them all?" Hudu looked at Zhao Shuo with great resentment. Now the three brothers had less than ten guards.

Almost everyone was injured and was surrounded by a large army of 3,000 led by Zhao Shuo.

In a sense, this was also a hunt, except that the prey had changed from the wild beasts on the grassland to Hudu and others.

"Kill him!"

Zhao Shuo was too lazy to talk to them and gave the order to kill them.

What is there to say?
Yes, the one who stole Temujin’s wife was Tokhtoa. Some of his three sons were still in their infancy, and some were not yet born.

But, so what?
If the situation were reversed and the Merkits defeated the Mongols, would Hudu and others have spared Temujin, or would they have let Zhao Shuo, Temujin's son-in-law, go?

It's just a matter of each using their own means.

Of course, the soldiers under Zhao Shuo's command did not have so many feelings.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

"The Merkit tribe is finished, and we Mongols are the ultimate victors!"

"Long live the Khan! Long live Mongolia!"

……

Who doesn’t know about the old feud between the Mongols and the Merkits and the great humiliation of Temujin?

Today, we have finally eradicated the biggest threat. How can people not be extremely happy?
……

……

At the foot of Alai Ridge, on the banks of the Buheiduerma River.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

"Long live Mongolia! Long live the Khan!"

……

Just when Zhao Shuo had just completed the task of hunting down Tokhtoa and his son, Temujin also achieved a brilliant victory.

He led the main force of the Mongols across the Altai Mountains and through the Alai Territory, defeating and killing Taiyang Khan's brother Buyilu, gaining a large number of people and supplies, and completely wiping out the power of the Naiman people. It can be said that the entire grassland in the traditional sense was completely under Temujin's control.

Of course, the Mongolian army cheered.

Even a wise and brave man like Temujin felt dizzy and satisfied at this moment.

Hmm? Satisfied?

Suddenly, Temujin felt that he was not satisfied enough, as if something was missing.

What's missing? Oh, Zhao Shuo!

Zhao Shuo participated in the Battle of Thirteen Wings.

Zhao Shuo participated in the Battle of Kuoyitian.

Zhao Shuo participated in the battles of Helan Zhenshatuo, Zhezhe Yundu, and even the battle to annihilate Naiman Khan.

As for the battle to conquer Buyi Lu? That was nothing. Buyi Lu couldn't even defeat that loser, Taiyang Khan.

It can be said that except for the battle in which Temujin regained his wife Borte, Zhao Shuo participated in every key battle in Temujin's fight for supremacy on the grassland.

However, at this critical moment of unifying the grassland, how could Zhao Shuo not celebrate with him?

"Shijihutuhu, where is Ashu?" Temujin asked.

Shijihutuhu was Temujin's intelligence chief, responsible for keeping Temujin's eyes and ears and contacting the generals.

Shijihutuhu said, "Yesterday, a messenger from Prince Consort Zhao Shuo arrived and said that half a month ago, they were searching for the whereabouts of Tuohetuo'a's three sons near Lake Ubusu, but now they are nowhere to be found."
