Chapter 11 Mier begging strikes

Everyone seemed to see that the blossoming road stretched under Temujin's feet.Temujin also thought that a smooth future was beckoning to him, but he had no choice but to fool others, and a disaster that was doomed sixteen years ago fell from the sky. When misfortune strikes, the sky will be clear.Hoelun's old servant Huohechen faintly heard strange noises coming from afar. This old lady has rich experience in life. She lay down on the ground and listened for a while, then shouted in a panic: "There are horseshoes, there are many!" Hoelun hurried from tent to tent to deliver the terrible news.All dressed quickly, the men rushed out of the tent with weapons in hand, while the women and children took cover cautiously.

Temujin and his warriors stood outside the camp, Khasar stretched his neck and looked towards the horizon, guessing: It must be Talihutai again. Temujin really hoped that it was Tali Kutai, he had a small army now, as he did in the past, and if Tali Kutai sent only twenty or so cavalry this time like last time, he would be sure to let the opponent completely annihilated. But Changshengtian didn't meet his expectations. After a violent and nervous shaking, the enemy's figure appeared on the horizon.This is a group of cavalry troops like a tornado, with a total of 300 people, roaring towards them.

Temujin was about to cry out, the faces of Khasar and Beligutei beside him also turned pale, and all the clansmen behind him trembled.Temujin understood that the battle was decided before it even started. He had no choice but to pop out a word from between his teeth: run. The clansmen dispersed in a rush, and Hesa'er and Biligutai followed the elder brother closely and ran towards the nine horses.Temujin distributed the horses calmly: one for his mother, one for his younger sister, one for him and four younger brothers, one for his new loyal warrior, Lemei, and the last one was that horse. A useless asthmatic horse, Temujin was leading it, ready to change in case of crisis on the way to escape.The crowd beat their horses and went straight to the dense forest at the foot of Kent Mountain.

Before Temujin fled into the forest, two questions lingered in his mind: first, who came here, and how could there be so many cavalry?Second, what is the purpose of coming, robbery?revenge? He should have a third question: Where is his wife, Bortie? Borte was also running away, but she didn't have a horse to ride. Instead, she was pushed into a woolen cart by the old maid, Huo Ahechen, and walked slowly on the road leading to the forest. The enemy's cavalry came, and Temujin's second question was answered: they got into the yurt, rummaged through boxes and cabinets; ran out of the yurt, and ran away laughing at the flock of sheep.

They galloped after the slow-moving group of people on horseback. All the men were killed and all the young women were robbed.Several cavalrymen stopped the wool cart of Huo Ahechen and asked the old lady, "What do you do?" Huo Ahechen answered calmly and alertly: "I am a temporary worker invited by Temujin. I just finished shearing the wool and am going home." One of the cavalrymen asked, "Where is Temujin's tent?" Huoa Heichen pointed to the tent they had just swept with his hand: "It's there, the one with a bow hanging by the door." A few cavalrymen turned around and left. Huoa Hechen escaped, exhaled a sigh of relief, turned around and whispered to Borte in the wool: "We are safe."

Bortie trembled inside: "Go!" Huo A Heichen threw off his whip and lashed the cow's butt. The cow also wanted to run faster, but it knew that it was a cow, not a horse, and it couldn't run as fast as a horse even after trying its best.Seeing the slow speed of the ox, Huoa Heichen wished he could turn into a horse.Probably because of nervousness, or the quality of the car was faulty. After walking tens of meters, there was a sudden click, and the axle broke. Huoa Heichen was in a hurry to dig Borte out of the fleece when the cavalry came back again. They failed to find Temujin, and they were suspicious of the old lady who had just shown the way.The cavalry looked at the scrapped wool cart and asked Huo Ahechen, "You work very hard. You came here to shear the sheep before dawn?"

Huo'a Heichen sighed and said, "I can't help it, I have to eat." The cavalrymen put on a straight face, pointed at the woolen cart and asked Huo Ahechen, "What's inside?" "Wool." The cavalry rolled their eyes, and the two jumped off their horses, rummaging through the wool, and the young and beautiful Borte was easily exposed.The cavalrymen were first stunned by Borte's appearance, and then laughed wildly. They picked up Borte and threw them on the horse. Borte yelled and kicked his legs violently, but it was of no avail.Although Huo'a Heichen was very old, the cavalry thought that the old lady was cunning and deserved to be punished, so they threw her onto the horse's back and roared away.

At this time, it was already dawn, and the cavalry unit followed the horseshoe marks left by Temujin's family and came to the dense forest at the foot of Kent Mountain.They circled the mountain three times and found that the foothills of the mountain were mostly swamps and bushes, which were not suitable for cavalry operations.They had no choice but to give up their attempt to pursue the mountain in disappointment, and went home happily with the spoils. Temujin didn't know that the enemy had withdrawn, and his family hid in the forest, cut off branches and built a shed to make a simple shelter, waiting for the wind to pass.But he was very preoccupied, and his mother, Hoelun, saw through his thoughts at a glance, and told him that Borte had the protection of the Longevity Heaven, and everything would be fine.

Of course, this was one of the things that Temujin was most concerned about, but there was another thing that made him scratch his head, that is, who exactly came here. Before dawn the next day, he woke up Beligutai and Zhelemie and ordered them to go down the mountain to inquire about news.A day later, the two returned sweating.They came back with good news and bad news. The good news: They finally know who the enemy is.Biligutai said that it was Mierqi who had come, and they had already left. The bad news: Jelmi said they took Borte. Temujin's head buzzed, and the goddess scattered flowers in front of him, as if seeing the immortal.But Hoelun sighed at the side, "This is karma!"

Temujin shook his head vigorously, the celestial maiden no longer scattered flowers, the celestial body also disappeared, and the real world was in front of him.He asked his mother dejectedly, "What is karma?" The "cause" of the "karma" mentioned by Hoelun happened 16 years ago. That year, she and her husband, Yeke Chiliedu, the younger brother of the leader of the Mierqi Tribe, Tohetuoa, who married her, walked in the Mongolian tribe. on the site.Temujin's father Yesuge stood on a high ground and saw the welcoming convoy, as if it was destined, Hoelun raised the curtain in the bullock cart and looked out, this surprise caught Yesuge's eyes completely inside.He hurried back to the camp, called a few brothers, rushed to the wedding car, beat Yeke Chiledu away, snatched Hoelun, and threw her into the bridal chamber.

It is a custom on the Mongolian Plateau to snatch relatives, and beauties are reserved for those who are strong. Hoelun naturally understands this custom, so he and Ye Sugai soon established a strong husband and wife relationship. This is how Temujin and his younger brother came to be. sisters. After listening to his mother's narration, Temujin couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't expect that there really was such a thing as "the father's debt is paid by the son" in the world.He was very relieved that the enemy was gone at last, and he could go out of the forest and try to save his wife. He walked out of the forest and came to the foot of Mount Kent, and suddenly did an astonishing move: he beat his chest, raised his voice like a howling wolf, and cried to Changshengtian: In the sacred Burhan Mountain, I am a louse , but I escaped, and my life was not harmed.I swear, I will remember you in my morning prayers every morning, the sacred Burhan Mountain, I will worship you as my rebirth place, and my children and grandchildren will abide by this rule. After praying, he faced the rising sun according to the rules of the grassland, hung his belt around his neck, took off his hat in awe, beat his chest with both hands, kneeled nine times to the sun, and sacrificed with kumiss. His family members watched from the sidelines, showing expressions of inexplicable surprise.On the Mongolian grasslands, the hunted people almost ran into the forest in unison.If everyone worshiped their shelter in this way after a lucky escape, then all the mountains on the grassland would become sacred mountains like Mount Kent, that is, Mount Burhan. Even Hoelun, who is both wise and brave, did not understand the deep meaning behind Temujin's move, while his younger brothers thought that his brother was a bit bluffing and making a fuss out of a molehill. These people are dead wrong.Later events proved that Temujin really believed that Kent Mountain was responsible for this escape, and that the reason why Kent Mountain wanted to protect him was to execute the order of Changshengtian.The reason why Changshengtian doted on him so much, according to his stubborn understanding, was that Changshengtian hoped that he could lead the Mongols to lead the country and conquer the world.This arrogant thought made him kill anyone who resisted and challenged his authority without mercy in the later conquest process. Whoever dared to resist him or challenge him was challenging Changshengtian. When he walked down Kent Mountain, he was reborn, just like a monk after seeing the Tathagata.
