Chapter 62 The Resurgence of Two Ashes

Now, let's turn the clock back to 1215.This year, Genghis Khan returned to the Kherlen River Palace with a mountain of treasure from all of them. There are three things that need to be resolved, which are imminent. The first thing is that the remnants of Mierqi appear in Genghis Khan's field of vision again.As we said earlier, after the Mierqi people were wiped out by Genghis Khan, Huodu, the son of the supreme leader Tuohituo, led a group of remnants to escape westward by luck.When Huodu fled into the territory of the Uighurs, he sent two envoys to negotiate with the Uighurs. As for the content, it must have something to do with the joint counterattack of the Uighurs against Genghis Khan.Huo will make such a decision, not out of panic.In the past, the Mierqiren and the Uighurs were friends. Unexpectedly, the Uighurs were surprised when this friend got angry, killed his two envoys, and took refuge in Genghis Khan.

When Huo Du got the heads of the two envoys, the Uighurs brought him a sentence: "For the sake of being friends in the past, I will let you run a hundred kilometers before chasing you." Huo Du yelled and cursed, jumped on the back of a donkey and ran westward all the way. He was driven by the Uighurs like cattle to the Ili River Valley further west.The Yili River Basin is rich in aquatic products. Huo Du put down his son-in-law and started to become a fisherman, but the raging fire of revenge in his heart has never been extinguished.He paid close attention to Genghis Khan's movements, not letting go of any opportunity to avenge Genghis Khan.Genghis Khan used troops against Xixia one after another, which gave him hope.He thought Xixia would make Genghis Khan stumble, but he didn't expect that Xixia was weak and incompetent and became a vassal state of Genghis Khan. In 1211, Genghis Khan declared war on the Kingdom of Jin. Both the Uighurs and the Xixia people sent troops to help. The fisherman said: "The time has come for us to restore our glory, and the Kingdom of Jin will definitely make Genghis Khan unable to eat!"

So he immediately summoned the Mierqi people in exile, sneaked back to the Altai Mountains, and waited anxiously for the opportunity to attack Genghis Khan.Genghis Khan did go all out to attack gold, but he left 3,000 people to garrison the base camp.Even with these 3,000 people, Huodu couldn't deal with it. Under the continuous sweep of these 3,000 people, Huodu hid in Tibet and circled around the western border of Mongolia.Finally, discouraged, he re-entered the Altai Mountains and began to play guerrilla warfare with Genghis Khan's sweeping army. The essence of guerrilla warfare is to escape. It can only barely preserve itself, but it cannot inflict any damage on the enemy.Therefore, although Huo Du is alive, the more he lives, the more depressed he becomes.Genghis Khan never took it lightly for the flagging waste of Huodu.What he was worried about was not the power of Huodu itself, but that Huodu would collude with the West Liao Kingdom and harass the western border of the Great Mongolian Kingdom.Soon after he defeated the Kingdom of Jin and returned to the Mongolian grassland, he formulated a battle plan to completely eliminate the Mierqi people.However, before this plan could be implemented, the Jin Kingdom moved its capital, and the Mengjin War resumed.Genghis Khan and his comrades temporarily focused on the Central Plains, and the fire capital has been active in the Altai Mountains for a long time.After Genghis Khan captured Zhongdu, he immediately set his sights on Mierqi who was jumping up and down.

Genghis Khan said to his comrades in grief and indignation: "You all know that I have a mortal enmity with Tuohituo and his father and son. When I was alone and helpless, Tuohituo took the fine horses of the Merqi tribe and attacked me. They stole my wife and besieged my whole family in Mount Kent. For many years, they have been trying to put me to death. Later, Tohetuo and his son took the Merki tribe to participate in almost every war against us. It is a sworn enemy. Although Tuohituo is dead now, his son is still restless. If they are not wiped out, I will have trouble sleeping and eating, and the Great Mongolian Kingdom will also have trouble sleeping and eating."

Subotai stood up shaking his shoulders, patted his chest and said, "Give me this task. Back then, I pursued Mierqi people, but I never killed them all. Now, I want to complete the big Khan's heart. " Genghis Khan appreciated Subodei's consistency and immediately granted his request.In terms of the number of troops sent, Subotai said that only 10,000 horses are needed, because there are only 30,000 mobs in Huodu, and it is more than enough to use 10,000 Mongolian cavalry to deal with 30,000 mobs. Genghis Khan said: "Don't underestimate this group of enemies. They are in the dark, and we are in the light. They are wandering around like fallen leaves, without a fixed place of activity. This time, we must use our greatest strength to wipe them out."

Subotai asked, "Then how many troops should I bring?" Genghis Khan stretched out his palm: "50,000 people. At the same time, I will give you another special weapon. It is called an iron cart. The carriage and wheels wrapped in iron sheets are durable. It won’t wear out, and it can be used to carry enough military supplies, you should understand what I mean, you must go all out to completely wipe out the Mierqi.” Before Subotai set off, Genghis Khan solemnly asked him: "This time, the expedition of the labor force has high mountains and long roads, and there are beasts everywhere on the way. You can let the soldiers hunt animals to make up for the lack of military rations, but you can't let the soldiers hunt for fun along the way. It makes people exhausted and delays the military plane. If there is anyone who violates the order, I know it, and bring it back to me, and I will punish it; if I don't know it, you will enforce the military law yourself." Subotai nodded.Genghis Khan finally said: "Whether this group of enemies hide in the air, go underground, or hide in lakes and seas, or flee to the ends of the earth, you must capture them. In order to prevent them from escaping again and causing trouble, you can kill them on the spot !"

Genghis Khan attached so much importance to the Mierqi, not because he valued the combat ability of the Mierqi, but because he hated the Mierqi to the bone. Of course Subotai understood Genghis Khan's mood, but Huo didn't understand why Genghis Khan would mobilize so many people to hunt them down after more than ten years. After Subotai arrived at the activity area of ​​Huodu, all the soldiers demanded a large-scale march.Subotai calm-headed, decided to take a sneak attack.The reconnaissance team was dispatched immediately. The first team was very strange. The team leader was Ali Chu, who had strong adaptability and observation ability. The team members included a hundred Mongolian cavalry and a group of local women, children and old people. The common people are close to the fire from the front.At the same time, he sent several other reconnaissance teams, pretending to be hunters, to detour and reconnoitre Huodu's sphere of influence from all sides, and scout the marching route for the upcoming raid.

The reconnaissance team worked very hard, and of course the workload was extremely heavy, because Huodu was like a cunning rabbit, often moving his base camp.Hard work paid off. After a month of all-round reconnaissance, the reconnaissance teams brought back the current base camp of Huodu. At the same time, they also found out the route of approaching and encircling them secretly. Subodei slammed his fist on the table and said, "It's time to start!" The Mongolian Corps was divided into four groups, led by the reconnaissance team. After the night was dark, at dawn, the four groups of troops entered their respective positions, surrounded the fire, and prepared to launch an attack as soon as the sun rose.

In order to prevent Mierqi, who is good at escaping, from escaping again, Subotai specially handed over 1,000 death squads to Ali Chu, and asked him to go straight to the headquarters of Huodu after the army launched an attack, and capture them all if necessary Or beheaded. It wasn't until the sun rose that Huodu and his 30,000 mob knew for sure that they had become a turtle in their urn.The Mongolian army broke through their crude defensive positions and rushed into their camp with a shout that shook the world.The massacre unfolded in a way that God couldn't bear to witness. All living things in the encirclement were killed. In Subotai's terms, there must be no breathing thing in the encirclement.

The battle started at dawn and ended at noon, and Subotai's army won a complete victory. The battlefield was full of dead bodies of Mierqi people, and the smoke from the tent billowed straight into the sky. Huo Du died gloriously in battle. It is said that when he heard the shouts of killing, he said with relief: "Our day has come." Mongolian Death Squadron. The Mierqi tribe has since become history. Whether it is for Genghis Khan or the Mierqi people, this massacre is a war of extermination. The Mongols have no mercy, especially Genghis Khan. There is only one main purpose for the Mierqi people: Kill them all.

When Subotai triumphantly passed by Jochi's residence, Jochi invited him to drink to congratulate him on his success.When Subotai was talking about the war, he accidentally mentioned the name of a man named Kul Tuhan, the third son of Tuhe Tua.Jochi had heard of this man, and if one were to rank the marksmen of the Mongolian steppe, this man would be number two, and no one would dare to be number one. Jochi asked Subutai if this person was still alive. Subotai nodded: "He is in the cage. I left him as a dedication to the Great Khan. He is the only descendant of Tuhe Tua. The Great Khan will definitely be happy." Shuchi's love for talents burst forth, and he said, "Can I see you?" Subotai asked someone to bring Kul Tuhan to Jochi, and Jochi asked him to perform archery.Shuchi was amazed, and immediately sent someone to see Genghis Khan, asking Genghis Khan to reward him. Genghis Khan roared: "To the enemy, we must never be soft-hearted, we must cut the grass and roots, and eliminate the evil!" This was Genghis Khan's first message to Jochi.When Jochi was depressed, Genghis Khan's second message arrived: "Jochi, cut off the head of Kul Tuhan yourself and send it to me!" Jochi never disobeyed his father's orders, nor did he dare to disobey. In this way, the head of the last Mierqi warrior in human history was separated from his neck. Genghis Khan finally made Mierqi pay a high price for what happened decades ago . After solving the Mier beggar, Genghis Khan faced the second thing. This thing is about the taiga forest. In 1207, Jochi subjugated several major tribes in the Taiga forest.In 1215, when the Mongol Corps captured Zhongdu, the Tumadi people in the Taiga Forest rebelled.The bald horses surrendered to Genghis Khan, but they had no intentions.Over the years, the Tumadi people still maintain their independent status, and there is no respect for Genghis Khan except for offering pitiful tributes to Genghis Khan every year. Genghis Khan was not very interested in the sincere surrender of this tribe, because the Tumadi lived in the densest part of the taiga forest. If an army wanted to confront the Tumadi, it had to hold a sharp ax and advance through thorns and thorns. Like a fly trapped in the middle of a spider's web, unable to move an inch.Genghis Khan's regiments are all cavalry, and marching in such a place is more difficult than reaching the sky.It is difficult for those who enter, and the same is true for those who come out.And their tributes are just animal skins, which are not attractive. Genghis Khan always turned a blind eye to this tribe, but someone disagreed. This person was the shaman Kuoerchi who made great contributions when Genghis Khan proclaimed Khan for the first time. Huoerchi asked Genghis Khan for thirty beauties, and Genghis Khan readily agreed.Huo'erchi seems to have a very high vision, for many years, he has never made up thirty.After the Tumati people surrendered, the old shaman went through all kinds of difficulties and dangers to the Tumati tribe and asked them to hand over thirty beauties.The leader of Bald Madi didn't want to offend Genghis Khan's favorites because of women, so he gave him five heroic huntresses.Huo'erchi had been very straightforward for a few years, and then went to the Bald Madi to ask for a woman, but each time, the Bald Madi gave very little, which made Huo'erchi very depressed. In 1215, Huo'erchi vowed to drill the primeval forest for the last time, and asked the Bald Madi people to make up thirty young huntresses. At that time, the leader of Tumadi was dead, and the leader was his widow.This heroine of the female school has long been extremely dissatisfied with Huoerchi's lust, so not only did she not meet Huoerchi's request, she even tied up Huoerchi and gave him a whip. Fortunately, Huoerchi's attendant ran away and informed Genghis Khan of the news.Genghis Khan was furious when he heard this, and he never showed mercy to those who dared to challenge his authority.He growled that he wanted to go out in person, but his comrades stopped him and told him that the base camp of the Bald Horse had high mountains and dense forests, and this matter was probably the fault of Huo Erchi. It is better to send people to fight with them Negotiate to see if there is room for detente. Genghis Khan reluctantly agreed with such a proposition, but he said angrily: "Look, the people who are going to negotiate must be meat buns beating dogs!" Sure enough, as soon as an expert from various tribes in the taiga forest entered the territory of the Tumadi people, he disappeared immediately, as if being swallowed by the forest.Genghis Khan ordered the use of force against the Bald horses. The smart ghost Naya was appointed as the commander in chief. When Naya heard the news, he immediately fell on the bed and said that he had a splitting headache.Of course, this does not prove that Naya'a is a coward, but everyone knows that the Bald Mati is brave and good at fighting, and he is in the depths of the jungle. When Naya refused to go, Genghis Khan ordered Borhu, one of the "Four Heroes", to take charge of the expedition.After Borhu got the news, he asked his comrades in arms: "Is this the one you recommended me in front of the Great Khan, or did the Great Khan himself want me to go?" Everyone said in unison: "It's sweat." Boer suddenly sighed: "I went to seek happiness for Genghis Khan, but I went on behalf of others." These words are very sad, and Boerhu seemed to indicate that he would not be able to come back here, so before leaving, he entrusted his family to Genghis Khan.Genghis Khan thought that Borhu was making a fuss out of a molehill, and comforted him by saying, "People in the Central Plains are so powerful, so you beat them to the ground! Are you still afraid of a few hunters?" Boer suddenly patted his chest and said, "I've never been afraid, but if I die this time, it's really not worth it!" Genghis Khan said carelessly: "When you come back, let's drink for three days." After Borhu left, Genghis Khan said to Yelu Chucai: "Borhu is old, and he is afraid of going to the battlefield." Yelu Chucai replied: "It's better to be cautious, your army is useless for heroes in the forest!" Genghis Khan smiled, he didn't take the Bald Madi people seriously at all, but the Bald Madi people took the Genghis Khan Corps very seriously, men, women and children all went to battle and prepared for battle. Bor suddenly arrived at the battlefield, and in front of this strange and mysterious virgin forest, his lofty arrogance over the years suddenly disappeared.He said to the military advisers in frustration: "There is no way to fight this battle!" The military advisers spread their hands and said, "That must be fought!" Boer suddenly regained his strength and led three guards to reconnaissance deep in the forest.This is one of Boerhu's strengths. During his many years of military career, he has always personally scouted the battlefield. Of course, this is also a bad habit, because it is easy for the enemy to "capture the thief first".Borhu was in bad luck. When he was concentrating on reconnaissance, he had already been counter-reconnaissanced by the patrol team of the Bald Horses. When the Bald Horses found that they could capture Borhu alive, they immediately jumped off the tree and captured him alive. Bol suddenly. Boerhu was brought before the widow of the leader of Tumadi, and the heroine asked Boerhu, "How many people are here?" Boer suddenly stiffened his neck: "They are all here, two hundred thousand horses, and kill you all." The heroine of the female middle school asked again: "Has Genghis Khan come?" Boer suddenly laughed wildly: "To deal with a woman like you, you still use profuse sweat? I am the weakest of the profuse subordinates, that's why I came here." The heroine of the female middle school waved: "Pull it out and chop it!" Someone reminded him that this person was one of Genghis Khan's four wise and brave generals, and killing him would definitely anger Genghis Khan. The heroine of the female middle school smiled lightly: "We have already angered him, why bother to be timid." Boer was suddenly beheaded amidst the sound of cursing, and thrown out of the primeval forest.The Mongolian Corps immediately sent the news back to the grassland. Genghis Khan was full of grief and anger, beating his chest and stamping his feet, expressing that he would personally conquer the Tumati people.After Borshu and Mu Huali tried hard to persuade him, he calmed down and ordered the Duoer Boduoheshen of the Duoerbian tribe to be in command to deal with the Tumadi people. Duoer Boduoheshen was not noticeable in the star-studded military circles of Great Mongolia. Genghis Khan used him, which baffled many people.But soon, everyone admired Genghis Khan's ability to employ people.Duoer Boduoheshen, a young general, proved Genghis Khan's vision with practical actions. Dolbo Doheshin is a soldier who uses brains more than brute force. After he arrived at the front line, he immediately began to prepare for the battle.He asked the soldiers to prepare big axes, hand axes, saws, chisels and other tools. The soldiers were puzzled, thinking that the general was going to be a lumberjack.What puzzled the soldiers even more was that Duo Erbo Do Heishen asked them to prepare ten sticks. One night, Duo Erbo Doheshen gave an order, the main force followed him, and the remaining part of the army patrolled back and forth on the road outside the forest.He led the main force into the primeval forest along a path that only rabbits could walk.Soldiers finally knew what their axes, hatchets, saws, and chisels were for.The ax cuts down the dense branches of thorns, and the saw and chisel destroy the tall trees that hinder the people and horses.And those ten sticks are the tools of punishment. Duoerbo Doheshen stipulated that whoever refused to move forward should take out the sticks he carried and whip them.When the ten sticks are used up, the person will be beheaded. The primordial forest is terribly quiet. The soft soil on the ground is like a prehistoric swamp. People suffer from suffocation in their lungs. There is no sunlight, only the sound of leaves talking secretly.Duoer Boduoheshen encouraged everyone, as long as you keep heading north and don't get lost, you can win. Ten days later, the Mongolian Corps finally walked the road that no one had traveled, and appeared on the back of the Tumati people like a divine soldier descending from heaven. The bald horses looked at each other, and couldn't believe their eyes.The hero of the women's middle school sent someone to tell Doerbo Doheishen: "You must not act rashly. We have a hostage, Kuoerchi, who is your favorite Genghis Khan." Duoer Boduoheshen spat on the ground and said, "I've come to settle you down. I've never heard that Big Khan still has any popular people in your hands." The heroine of the female middle school immediately found out that she had really angered Genghis Khan, and at the same time found that Huoerchi, a pervert, was useless. She ordered the whole family to prepare for war and to die with the Mongols. The power gap between the two sides is huge, and everyone can see that reckless fighting can only bring disaster.Therefore, some Tumadi people surrendered immediately, and under the guidance of these capitulators, the Duoer Bodoheshen Corps quickly captured the Tumadi people's base camp and captured the heroine alive.After getting his freedom, Huoerchi gritted his teeth at her, trying to goug her beautiful big eyes. Duo Erbo Dohei stopped the pervert and said, "The Great Khan has his own arrangements." Genghis Khan's arrangement was that apart from the surrender, only the heroine, thirty beauties, and one hundred strong laborers were left behind, and all other bald men were killed.Thirty beauties served as slaves to the lecherous ghost, and one hundred strong laborers served as slaves to Borhu's family. You don't need to guess to know that life must be difficult for the hundred people who are slaves to their enemies.As for the female middle school hero herself, Genghis Khan probably didn't like her when she arrived on the grassland first, so he rewarded her to one of the surrenderers of the Tumadi people. From then on, the Tumati people completely surrendered to Genghis Khan. They didn't mean it sincerely, but because they were too weak, they no longer had the ability to resist.This is actually the reason why many people surrender to one person. The rebellion of the Tumati people made Genghis Khan notice that there were still hidden dangers in the northwest of the country. After the Tumati people were eliminated, Genghis Khan ordered his eldest son Jochi to enter the Taiga Forest and reorganized the tribes there from beginning to end by force. There is oppression and massacre, but there is no mercy. Yelu Chucai persuaded Genghis Khan from the perspective of a literati: "Use kindness to manage the people, and force can only solve it for a while." Genghis Khan said with a smile: "A moment of peace is enough." Yelu Chucai didn't understand the deep meaning of these words at the time, and he didn't understand the meaning of Genghis Khan's words until after the military high-level meeting ended a few days later.
