Chapter 23 break the minor leagues

In the first year of the 13th century, that is, in the spring of 1200 A.D., hundreds of flowers were in bud on the grassland. Temujin looked at the free horses on the grassland and felt very unhappy.He thought of his tragic youth, lack of food and clothing, hiding in Tibet, panic, and what's more annoying, he was a prisoner.That more than a year of prison life was unforgettable to him. It was a shame back then, but now it is an excuse. He asked Wang Khan to help him take revenge, and the target was naturally the Taichiwu people.Wang Khan patted his thigh and shouted: "You must take revenge, not only for you, but also for your people. They abandoned you back then, and now you will make them pay the price!"

The two hit it off immediately, and the battle plan was quickly released - the troops were divided into two groups, and they went straight to the camp of the Tachiwu people in the middle reaches of the Ergun River. There is indeed such a thing as a heart-to-heart connection in the world. When Temujin and Wang Khan were smugly preparing to attack the Taichiwu people, the Taichiwu people actually took the first step and came to Temujin. Temujin didn't dare to be careless about this enemy who came to his door, because the Taichiwu people didn't come alone. In addition to the three troops in the headquarters, there were also Mierqi people who were not black and white.

Tuohei Tuo'a was persevering, fought repeatedly and failed repeatedly, and hated Temujin even more.The Taichiwu people came here in full force this time because of his instigation.Under his instigation, Tari Hutai, the leader of the Techiu people, found himself in peril. If Temujin did not strike first, he would die without a place to bury him. After Temujin learned that the enemy was coming, he roughly calculated the time of his advance and the places he must pass, and arranged the battlefield in the Mongolian desert near the Onon River. The desert of the Mongolian plateau is called a ghost land. When the yellow sand whirls in the sky, the whole world disappears; when the white snow whirls in the sky, the whole world disappears.If you hear ghosts crying during the day, you will see ghosts at night.

Temujin set the battlefield here because he wanted to rely on the harsh environment to catch the enemy by surprise.But he also faces the threat of a hostile environment.He had his horsemen cover their faces with thin gauze over their horses' eyes before entering the desert.In this way, his people can see clearly than the enemy. Before Tuhetuoa and Talihutai crossed the desert, they had thought that Temujin would be waiting for him here, but they had the wishful thinking that since the yellow sand covered the sky, everyone was blind, so they were in the same place. On the horizontal line, no one can suffer, and no one can take advantage.But as soon as they entered the desert, they heard the sound of yellow sand flying like ghosts, and they heard the sound of shouting and killing, and then their formation was in chaos as if they were attacked by a giant beast.They heard the screams of their own men and the neighing of horses.Tuo Hei Tuo A is a veteran in the battlefield, dragging Tari Hutai to the edge of the desert, and finally escaped, but when he turned around, he found that at least half of the cavalry had been lost.

They saw that Temujin and Wang Khan's cavalry seemed to have emerged from the ground, sweeping the yellow sand and rushing towards them.Tuo Hei Tuo Ah wah wow, wanted to turn around and fight Temujin desperately, Tali Hutai was very rational, pulled his horse's rein, and ran towards Yuanbian Fort, the Great Wall of Jin Kingdom's northern defense.They tried to resist with Yuanbian Fort, but Temujin's cavalry caught up with them, and the massacre began.Tuohituoa and Talihutai, the two temporary brothers and sisters, greeted "Farewell". One fled north and the other fled west.Tuo Hei Tuo Asi fled to Naiman, and Tali fled back to the camp in Taipei suddenly, only to be shocked.

This battle almost knocked Tali Kutai out of his wits. He thought that Temujin should be very strong now, but he never thought that he would be so strong.He was curled up in the blanket like sifting chaff, his eyes were bloodshot, his breathing was short of breath, and he was gnashing his teeth.When he thought that the little prisoner many years ago was today's Genghis Khan, he shuddered. Tali Hutai's current business is fear, and Temujin's current business is to expand the war.After beating Tali Hutai and Tuhei Tua away, he turned his sights to the east of the battlefield as far as he could see.There are two tribes belonging to Mongolia, Hedajin and Sanjiwu. These two tribes are like deaf and blind, and they have nothing to say about his sweating.Of course, at that time, there were still many Mongolian tribes who did not express to him, but these two tribes were very different.When he joined forces with Jamuka, these two rebellious tribes had offended him Temujin.

This happened as follows. When Temujin and Jamuka joined forces, Temujin jumped back and forth to win over various forces, not only in Jamuka's joint venture, but also outside of Jamuka's joint venture.Once, he heard that the Hedajin and Sanjiwu tribes jointly attacked the Yuanbian Fort in the Kingdom of Jin and robbed a lot of property, which left a deep impression on him.He sent envoys to meet the leaders of the two tribes under his own banner, with a very direct purpose - to work with me. There is no written language in Mongolia, and the transmission of information depends entirely on the mouth.Moreover, the Mongols like to use metaphors, so after the envoy spoke a large set of rhyming language, the two tribal leaders looked at each other, unable to understand.

The envoy spent a long time thinking, but it turned out that he was talking to ducks, so he had to say something straight: "Tiemuzhen said that many relatives who are far away from each other work under his command. You are closer to my relatives than Temujin. , so you should come and serve me." The leader of Hedajin was puzzled, so he asked the envoy: "Isn't Temujin the younger brother of Jamuka? How did he get his own name?" The leader of Sanzhiwu had a bad temper, kicked the messenger over, and said: "Tiemujin lives under the fence and pretends to be a wolf with a big tail. In my eyes, he is not as good as a hair." Lei Ting, the leader of Sanzhiwu, was furious. He picked up a big spoon, scooped up a spoonful of mutton offal from the mutton soup pot, and splashed it on the messenger's face.The envoy screamed strangely after being burned, and ran all the way back to Jamuka to complain to Temujin.

At that time, Temujin had no other choice but to swallow his anger.Now, with his strength in hand and the enemy right under his nose, only a fool would not think of revenge. Temujin said to Wang Khan, "I want revenge." Wang Han was taken aback: "And who?" Temujin said: "Hedajin and Sanzhiwu are two stubborn tribes." Wang Han sighed: "You have so many enemies. But I can't fight side by side with you anymore. Something happened to my family, and I have to go back and deal with it." Temujin had no doubts, because Wang Khan's family politics had always been a mess, he didn't ask anything, Wang Khan didn't say anything, and history didn't record it.In short, Wang Khan left with his cavalry.

Temujin said to Wang Khan, "I will wait for your return." Wang Han nodded firmly: "Wait for me." Wang Khan hadn't returned yet, and Temujin couldn't wait any longer, because his enemies were mushrooming like mushrooms after rain. What caused this situation is the panic of He Da Jin and San Zhi Wu.After Tarihutai and Tuhei Tua were defeated by Temujin, the leader of Hedajin called the leader of Sanzhiwu, gnawed on the leg of lamb and said: "Tiemuzhen must take revenge. make plans." The leader Sanzhiwu thrust his knife into the roasted sheep and said, "He was the hair in my eyes back then, and he is still the same now."

The leader of Hedajin glanced at the knife on the roasted sheep, and said with a sneer, "It's different today, Temujin's wings are hardened, you can see how fast he has developed in recent years, and he has a golden dog as his backer. Look at us, some time ago, we were beaten and yelled when we robbed the golden dog, we can't do it." The leader of Sanzhiwu fiercely pulled out the knife from the roasted lamb, plunged it into the table, and said, "What can't be said, call him if you have the ability!" The leader of Hedajin said: "There are many people and strength is great. Now all the tribes have opinions on Temujin. We can unite all the forces that can be united and overthrow Temujin to the ground." The leader of Sanzhiwu pulled out the knife from the table again, this time he didn't know where to insert it, and raised the knife and asked, "Who should we unite with?" The leader of Hedajin broke his fingers and said: "The remnants of Tataer, the side of Duoer, the department of Hongji, and..." The leader of Sanjiwu stood up "Teng" and said: "Enough! How many people are needed to beat Temujin? I will send someone to invite them!" People from various tribes soon gathered at Alei Spring (north of the lower reaches of the Hailar River today), they killed cattle and horses, and made a solemn oath: "Longevity, please listen to me, we have made a plan to fight against Temujin to the end." The oath, if you don't keep your oath..." They pointed to the slaughtered cattle and sheep, "let us end up in the same fate as them!" It was a powerful alliance, and all the ministries pulled out all the stops.Needless to say, the Tatars hated Temujin to death.Duo'er Bienbu and Hongji Saba were also awed by Temujin's fierce development, and they didn't want to be eaten by Temujin without knowing why.As for the Hedajin and Sanjiwu tribes, they almost spent all their energy on fighting against Temujin. Of course, this is also a passive alliance. All the tribes are united for self-protection, so in terms of strategy, it is "defensive with offense" rather than an offensive with a clear goal.Their plans were conservative, cautious, and protracted. The news naturally leaked out.The person who leaked the news was Temujin’s father-in-law, Dexue Chan, who joined the alliance as a nobleman of the Hongji tribe, and passed the news to Temujin as a relative of Temujin. After Temujin got the news, he was not frightened and angry, but overjoyed.He said to his comrades: "Look, whoever said that the grassland tribes are not united, isn't this unity? A sense of unity is a good thing!" Borshu reminded him not to lament their consciousness, but to deal with the current crisis first. Temujin hurriedly sent someone to look for Wang Khan. Wang Khan seemed to have dealt with his family problems and returned in a hurry.The two decided to strike first, and they set off from Hutuze near the Onon River to meet the alliance army.The two sides met near Lake Baikal today, and their strengths were equal. After the formation, Temujin asked Wang Khan for his opinion.Wang Han looked at the opponent's position and said, "You are in charge of your people, and you are in charge of mine for the time being." Temujin observed the opponent's formation calmly, and immediately found its fatal point.This is Temujin's talent. When facing each other, he can quickly and accurately find the opponent's weakness, and the rest is to concentrate on attacking this weakness. The Army of the Anti-Temujin Alliance adopted a line formation, and the weak point was between the Hongji Rabe and Doerbianbu.The Hongji tribe couldn't fight in the first place, relying on beauties to survive on the grasslands, and the Duo'er tribe was not on the battlefield, so there was a gap between the two tribes. Of course, the gap was very small, and most people couldn't see it. Temujin ordered a charge, aiming at the weak area between Hongji Rabu and Doerbianbu.The first strong cavalry rushed up, and the opponent took strict precautions.This cavalry didn't rush in, and when it was scattered back to the sides, the second cavalry had already rushed up, attacking the same target as the first cavalry.The opponent's defense loosened a bit, and barely pushed back the attack.Before they had time to adjust their defenses, Temujin's third cavalry had arrived at the gate.Under the violent impact, the weak zone between Hongji's assassination and Duo'er's side was broken, and the cavalry drove straight in, rushed to the rear, turned back, and inserted again. This cavalry was like a shark that got into a school of sardines, and the formation of the Anti-Temujin Alliance army was in chaos from inside to outside.Temujin ordered a full-line attack, and the ten cavalry rushed into the enemy's camp like wild horses running wild. The tactic used by Temujin was later called "cavalry encirclement". The specific implementation method was to hit the weak point of the enemy with several teams of cavalry wheels, and after the collision, go straight to the enemy's rear, and then turn back and insert.When the cavalry collided with the enemy, the commander carefully observed the enemy's formation changes, formulated the best attack strategy, and exchanged a small amount of sacrifice for great results. After half an hour, the battle ended.Temujin and Wang Khan won a complete victory, and a small number of enemies escaped from the battlefield, leaving Temujin with a panicked back. Breaking this anti-Temujin alliance will make Temujin famous everywhere.With the remaining power of victory, he came to the gate of the Tatars. The Tatars were defeated as soon as they fought; Finally, Temujin came to the door of Mierqi, who had long since hid himself.Only then did Temujin return home contentedly. When he returned to the camp, he realized that something that made him regret had happened.After defeating the Tatars, Khasar and him attacked the Taichiwu people in two ways. When Khasar passed by the Hongji tribe, the leader of the Hongji tribe brought several beauties and said that they would surrender to Temujin. I don't know what kind of evil fire started, and suddenly launched an attack on Hongji's assassination.Hongji assassinated several beauties who were as beautiful as flowers and jade to death under the hooves of the horses, and the entire camp was destroyed beyond recognition.Furious, they ran to find Jamuka. Afterwards, Temujin asked Khasar why he attacked Hongji's tribe, and Khasar explained that it was a misunderstanding.Temujin didn't pursue it further, and this matter is also a mystery. In any case, Hongji's assassination department was pushed out of the door by Temujin and pushed into Jamuka's arms.Jamuka's surrender to Hongjila was as calm as water, because at this time, he had a tribe ten times stronger than Hongjila in his hands, and there were more than one. The time had come for him to have a tough showdown with Temujin. This was no longer a matter between him and Temujin, but a matter for the entire Mongolian nation.
