Chapter 494

The north wind howled, and the wind blew so hard that it made people feel cold all over.

Genghis Khan was neither happy nor angry, looking down at Shi Tianying.

And Zhang Jing didn't dare to speak.He felt that the skin all over his body was tightening, and every pore was like being pricked by needles, it was extremely cold.But his forehead was sweating at the same time, sweating in this snowy and frosty weather.

What's the situation?Why did Shi Tianying jump out?

Zhang Jing desperately turned his frozen mind, thinking about the current situation.

A while ago, Shiji Hutuhu, the judge who was deeply trusted by Genghis Khan, has been busy discussing with many Han army leaders about the arrangement of sending troops to Zhongdu.

Shiji Hutuhu insisted that Zhang Jing and other generals mobilize more than [-] militiamen and all food and supplies to accompany them, and ordered the Han army to strictly follow the spoils distribution regulations formulated by Genghis Khan.Zhang Jing and others were naturally not happy.

Such an approach is tantamount to making Zhang Jing and others spend all their money to serve Genghis Khan. If they do not get the predetermined benefits, they will first hand over their old background.

Moreover, after going to the central capital, it is obvious what the Han army can do.The Mongols wanted to use the Han army as a meat shield for the siege, and let the Haner stand up for the Mongols!
Just here on Beijing Road, what happened to the last person who was deceived by the Mongols and went to fight to the death?Of the hundreds of thousands of Khitan soldiers and civilians in the Liao Kingdom of Yeluluge, those remnants who fled to Liaodong were brutally killed by Jebel just a few days ago!
Liu Bolin and Shi Bingzhi, who defected to Mongolia earlier, were not treated like this.

This was not the purpose of Zhang Jing and others to seek refuge with the Mongols.

Therefore, there was a subtle stalemate between the two sides, and the military and cultural exchanges between various places in the past ten months failed to reach a consensus.Until news came that Jebe had died and hundreds of elite Mongolian soldiers had died.So all arrangements were put on hold, and Genghis Khan personally sent out troops, determined to invade Liaodong and avenge Jebe.

When Zhang Jing led his troops to rendezvous with Genghis Khan that day, he saw with his own eyes that his anger was like rolling thunder falling into the hall.Zhang Jing felt for the first time in his life that one person's emotions and will would affect everyone so violently.

Zhang Jing was absolutely unwilling to march and fight in the ice and snow, but he did not dare to dissuade Genghis Khan at all.He knew very well that the great Khan's politeness to the powerful generals of Beijing Road was based on the balance of power and for the purpose of employing people's strengths.But if you really annoy the Mongol, don't think he won't kill people.

Even if they can't be killed, Zhang Jing and others can't accept a beating, a whipping, and forcibly seizing military power.

So in the past few days, everyone has been struggling with painful choices.Is it risking being severely punished by Genghis Khan to persuade this furious old man to give up attacking Liaodong?Or put on a loyal face, but take your own cronies to die in the ice and snow?

Both roads are dead ends.

Zhang Jing didn't expect that it was Shi Tianying who came out to speak for everyone in the end.

Relying on his ability to make siege equipment with his own hands, this guy has recently gained the trust of Genghis Khan and Mu Huali. Fortunately, his mind is not confused, and he knows how to speak for the big guys!

Shi Tianying continued to say proudly: "Khan, we should go to the Central Capital! Only by going to the Central Capital can we really make the Jurchens feel heartbroken, only by going to the Central Capital can we plunder countless wealth and women, and only by going to the Central Capital can we give the entire Jin Kingdom Spread the prestige of the Great Khan! What can you do if you go to Liaodong? Even if the Great Khan kills the Dinghai... With the power of the Great Khan, it is not difficult at all... But, you, the Great Khan, have so many noble Mongolian soldiers, Where can I get anything but ice and snow?"

Genghis Khan was silent, Mu Huali just sneered.

Shi Tianying reached out and grabbed Genghis Khan's robe: "Great Khan, let's go to the central capital! I am willing to give out all the troops and civilians under my command. I have 3000 people! I am willing to lead them and fight to the death for the Khan. If the enemy Turn into a bird and fly to the sky, I will turn into Haidongqing and fly there, and take them down. If the enemy turns into a wild otter and burrows into the ground, I will turn into a shovel, dig into the ground, and hunt them down!"

These words made Genghis Khan hesitate a little.As for Zhang Jing and the others, tears welled up in their eyes.

Damn, this guy Shi Tianying can really talk.

Everyone only knows that when he was in the village, he was not only proficient in riding and archery, but also knew how to read, but they never thought that he spoke in the same way as the Mongolians, and he must have worked hard!It's not unreasonable for this guy to be popular in front of Genghis Khan!

Although jealous, Zhang Jing immediately realized that there should be no infighting at this time. Since Shi Tianying is willing to stand out, everyone hastened to speak up and turn this matter around... Even if they use their old foundations to attack Zhongdu, It is also better than marching 450 miles in the ice and snow according to Genghis Khan's arrangement!
He did as soon as he thought of it, and immediately walked forward on his knees and bowed beside Shi Tianying: "Khan, let's go to the central capital. The black army under my command has 8000 people, and we can still mobilize 2 civilians and enough troops to fight against Shi Tianying." If the enemy turns into a fish and swims into the lake or sea, I will turn into a fishing net to catch them! If the enemy stands on the top of a tall city, I will turn into an iron cart and crush them!"

Good guy, you Zhang Jing also has a unique skill, and you can speak well.

With Zhang Jing as the leader, many Han army leaders marched forward, shouting loudly: "I have 4000 people! I have 5000 people! I have 6000 people! I will be Haidongqing! I will be shovels! I will be fishing nets! I make iron cars!"

Thousands of words merged into one sentence: "Khan, let's go to Zhongdu!"

Genghis Khan did not agree, he only said, let all the generals go back to the headquarters, find a sheltered place to rest, and wait for his final decision.

So all the generals dispersed.

Only Shi Tianying walked not far, turned around and came back, still prostrating in front of Genghis Khan.

"You are fine!"

Genghis Khan patted Shi Tianying on the shoulder, and said to Mu Huali: "Your plan is also very good."

Mu Huali also bowed to salute.

Genghis Khan was silent for a moment, then turned his head and looked to the east.After the layers of heavy snow, it is the direction of Liaodong. It is said that Liaodong is a peninsula surrounded by the sea. The Ding Navy hoarded a large number of troops at that location, entangled many foreign races, and relied on the farther south across the sea. Shandong to support.

Genghis Khan felt that he had already attached great importance to Dinghai, but he really did not expect that this military group was so powerful that it could kill Zhebe.

The importance of Jebe to Genghis Khan was not understood by those Han warlords just now who harbored ulterior motives.Jebe's death is a terrible loss, and it will cause great turmoil both outside and inside Yekemeng Ulus.

On the outside, some people will doubt the power of the Great Mongol Kingdom; on the inside, some people will doubt the power of Genghis Khan.Both of these are absolutely not allowed.And the only way to overwhelm the turmoil on both fronts is to win an unprecedented victory.

Such a big victory cannot come from Dinghai in Liaodong.Even if Genghis Khan invaded Gaizhou and Fuzhou and killed everyone there, everyone would just take it for granted, and that would not offset Zhe's death.

But to go to Shandong and take Guo Ning's head... you have to go through countless cities in Zhongdu and Hebei.The scale of mobilization involved the interests of many thousands of families in Mongolia, and even Genghis Khan could not easily mobilize it.

and so……

Genghis Khan was a heroic and irritable Mongolian, but he was also a seasoned statesman. When weighing the pros and cons, he was able to control his emotions and make himself calmer than anyone else.However, only the closest subordinates can appreciate his calm and even cold side.

Genghis Khan took off his light leather helmet and threw it into the snow to the east.

He whispered: "The war horse is thin, and it's too late to cherish it; the food and grass are exhausted, and it's too late to save; the arm is broken, and it can't grow back. Jebe died, just like someone Broken my bones, cut off my tendons... I underestimated the enemy, this is my fault! Lost luck and baldness!"

The tall and thin Shijihuhu stood up from a corner of the tent: "Khan, I'm here."

"Remember the two names Ding Haijun and Guo Ning. I want you and Mu Huali to arrange a large number of people to find out everything about the enemy. I want to know how many troops Ding Haijun has and what kind of combat methods they have! I want to know what color horse Guo Ning rides and what kind of woman he likes! Even if you are asleep, you have to open one eye and keep an eye on the enemy for me!"

"As ordered!"

Genghis Khan waited for a while, then turned around slowly, and stood in front of Shi Tianying.

"Zhang Jing finally decided to use his forces to attack Zhongdu. But he is unreliable and can easily influence other people."

"Yes!"

"His black army is more than 2; the number of civilians he can use is actually more than [-]. He has a large amount of food and materials in Jinzhou and Zongzhou, right?"

"Yes!" Shi Tianying couldn't suppress his ecstasy, he touched his forehead to the cold ground, and continued to answer with the shortest words.

"Tonight I will send an order to withdraw the troops, and the army will turn to the central capital. As long as Zhang Jing sends troops to accompany him, it will be easy to solve. I will give you five days to execute Zhang Jing on the way. His black army, his land, and His title of county king belongs to you. When we take the Central Capital, you will be left behind in the Central Capital, and the Han army will be tens of thousands!"

"Yes!"

"Also..." Genghis Khan showed a rare look of hesitation.

He waved his hand to make Shi Tianying back down.

Mu Huali took half a step forward at the right time: "Khan?"

"The wealth of the Central Plains is beyond imagination. The Mongols can obtain unprecedented benefits here. But this land is too vast. The number of Han'er is ten times, a hundred times more than the Mongols. Heroes among the Han'er , fighting with the heroes of the Mongols, even if ten people exchange the life of one person, we will suffer..."

"so?"

Mu Huali waited for a while, Genghis Khan finally just shook his head: "Let's arrange to send troops to Zhongdu first!"
