Chapter 39 Jamuka's death

Jamuka's biggest regret may be that he should not have joined forces with Temujin in the first place.Without this joint venture, Temujin would not have been able to develop rapidly.He is a candle that illuminates Temujin and burns himself.After the battle of Mount Nahu, Jamuka had fewer and fewer people. When he fled to Mount Tangnu, there were only five people around him.He is penniless and depends on robbery to survive.There were few people walking around Tannu Mountain, so his robbery career was not going well, so he became a hunter again. Tangnu Mountain is covered with snow, which does not melt all year round, and there are very few prey. Jamuka and his five companions are miserable.The five people complained a lot, and Jamuhe knew it well, but he still thought he was the same Jamuhe back then, and sneered at the five people's complaints.

One day, they captured an argali.It is a large goat with short limbs, a stout body and spiral horns.Jamuka was very excited because the sheep was enough to fill their stomachs. While eating roasted lamb, Jamuka looked coldly at the five eating companions and said, "You guys, could you eat this kind of lamb before you followed me? You still complain every day, you must be content." The five looked at each other, threw the mutton to the ground and said, "We've had enough of this, especially your self-righteousness." Seeing five people standing up and approaching him, Jamuka hurriedly hid the leg of lamb behind him and said in a panic, "What are you going to do?" He thought that the other party was going to grab his leg of lamb, but in fact the other party was trying to grab him.

The five rushed forward, threw Jamuka to the ground, tied them up, and said, "If we offer you to Genghis Khan, we will benefit more than this argali." The journey from Mount Tangnu to the source of the Onon River, where Temujin camped, is a long way, with thousands of mountains and rivers, and the five people finally arrived at the source of the Onon River with their tenacious perseverance and fantasy spirit of wealth.Temujin and Jamuka officially met again. Although Jamuhe became a prisoner, he maintained the demeanor of a khan.The first thing he did was to tell Temujin to kill five of his companions.He said in cryptic language: Black crows captured black ducks, subjects and slaves violated their khans.My Khan An Da, think about it!The purple kite captures the water cattail, and the servants and family members violate their master.My wise An A, you know what to do!

Temujin, who had received special training in the obscure Mongolian language, could of course understand the meaning of Jamuka's words: Since these five people can betray their master me, who else can they be loyal to? There is no need for Jamuka to imply such words. Temujin has always advocated loyalty to his master, so he ordered: "Those who violate their khan and master will no longer be able to live in this world." The man with the dream of wealth and honor pulled him in front of Jamuka and asked Jamuka to order his execution. Five human heads turned around on the ground, looking at Jamuka with the eyes of dead fish.Jamuka suddenly felt that they were calling him.He didn't feel his heart beat faster because he had already foreseen his end on the way to meet Temujin.

However, he was also smart enough to realize that Temujin would not kill him straight-forward.Both he and Temujin understood that in the grassland world, both of them were famous figures, and they still answered that Temujin was not the kind of foolish person who would not kill Jamuka without hesitation and bear the burden of " To kill An Da's infamy, he must leave a magnanimous impression on people.Thus, a good show of the two co-starring began. The two drank and ate meat, reminiscing about the past. Temujin attacked first: "We are together again today, shall we still be friends? We used to be two members of the same car, but you separated. Although we broke up, you are still my friend. Now we are together, Whoever forgets, remind them, and whoever falls asleep, wakes up. Although we have parted, you still miss me in the days of war; you still love me in the days of fighting. For example, I and When Wang Khan was fighting in Helan Zhenshatuo, you told me Wang Khan's plan, which was of great help to me; for another example, when I fought with Nannaiman, you frightened them with big words and reported their plans. This situation is all due to me. Therefore, I think we should settle our differences and get back together."

Jamuhe laughed and retorted: "Why did I leave you? When we were together, you sneaked away without saying a word. You left me. Since you left me, my My luck got worse, I don't understand why the people who followed me followed you later." Temujin laughed dryly, but didn't continue talking. Jamuka saw the murderous look in Temujin's eyes, and immediately praised Temujin: "Today, you have ruled the world, and all the four directions are your territory; all the tribes in the grassland are your subjects. Changshengtian has designated you as the King, all the people have respected you as Khan. The world is no longer yours, and the country must be inherited by you. You are the proud son of heaven, a hero among men, and a hero of the whole life. You said that you want to reconcile with me as before. How is this possible? I have nothing now, and I am no longer worthy of being called a brother and brother with you. I am at the end of my way, and it is difficult to make any waves, what use do you want me as a friend?"

Temujin continued to laugh dryly, and he could hear what Jamuka meant: There is no difference between killing me and not killing me, I am already a useless person. Jamuka continued to deepen this theme for Temujin: "You have a wise mother, a wise wife, and a talented brother, so it is only natural that I was defeated by you. Look at me again. I lost my parents since I was a child. A wise wife has no brothers to rely on, even if you give me 10,000 soldiers, I am no match for you!" Temujin said without emotion: "I hope we can get back together." When Zamuhe heard such words, it was as if he had heard "please" from Lord Yama. He smiled wryly and said, "Forget it, if I live you will have trouble sleeping. You should kill me. I only have one request. Then Just let me die decently, without seeing blood."

Temujin sighed in time, and immediately got out of the tent, and said to the comrades who were listening outside the tent: "I want to spare him from death, but his dignity does not allow it. Although Jamuka is separated from me, he has never I heard that he wants to take my life. He has many advantages that are worth learning from. He wants to die now, so we have to kill him, but there must be a legitimate reason." Temujin's comrades-in-arms said impatiently: "What more justification is needed? Jamuka is sowing discord everywhere, such a person deserves to die." Temujin shook his head.Someone said: "Khan, the best reason why you want to kill him is that in the Battle of the Thirteen Wings, he forced you into the canyon, and you almost died. This is enmity. Now you kill him to take revenge, which is justified."

Temujin sighed and nodded, "Then execute him according to his request!" Jamuhe closed his eyes slightly, waiting for the god of death to come.The god of death came, there was a commotion outside the tent, the tent was lifted up abruptly, a burst of stench rushed into Jamuhe's nostrils, and he could not help but tremble.The first person who came in was short, fat and strong. He took the initiative to introduce himself, saying that he was Temujin's nephew, Al Chinai, who was ordered by the great Genghis Khan to send Jamuka to see Changshengtian. Jamuhe stood up, straightened his clothes, and wanted to get out of the tent.Ale Chi stopped him, smiled and said, "No need, it's right here."

The tent was lifted again, and Zamuhe saw four big men rushing in with a rain of blood.He said calmly: "No blood can be seen. Because the soul of our Mongolians is in the blood, I want to take my soul to see Changshengtian." Ale Chixie untied his waist saber, and motioned for the four big men to undo his waist saber, nodded to Jamuka and said, "Lie down." Jamuhe lay down on the ground, and the four big men pressed his limbs respectively. Al Chizai gave an order, and the four big men exhausted all their strength. With a "click", Jamuhe's limbs broke, and Jamuhe let out a muffled grunt. His stomach was congested with blood, and his veins burst out.Ale Chi squatted in front of him and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Jamuka squeezed out a smile: "It hurts. You don't have to pity me. If you lose to me, I will do the same to you." Alechi nodded, turned him over, hugged him from behind, strangled his neck with both hands, and with a sudden force, with a "click", Jamuhe's neck tilted, and he left the human world. Temujin ordered: "Give Anda Jamuka the most solemn funeral." With the end of the funeral, the grassland world has no more powerful enemies.Temujin ushered in the golden avenue paved for him by Changshengtian, and he will walk on this avenue to continue his campaign. The death of Jamuhe contributed a strange legend to the world.One year after his death, a kind of grass grew on the grassland, which was green and delicious when young, and the grassland people called it "Tieha Hulun" (drumstick dish).But don't wait for it to grow up. When it grows up, it is covered with thorns. When it is old, it rolls with the wind, wanders around, stumbles, and sticks hands. It can be called a bully in the plant world.The Mongols named it "Jamuhe". People say that this grass is the incarnation of Jamuhe. For Temujin, Jamuka is indeed like this kind of grass. At the beginning, he was green and green, and he was Temujin's best friend. Later, he was full of thorns, rolling around, sowing discord, and repeatedly making Temujin The future is uncertain and the fate is ill-fated. There is no right or wrong in the grievances between Temujin and Jamuka. Everything is just a common expression of barbaric politics on the stage of the grassland. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.
