choke element

The Ding Navy sent more and more troops to Monan every day, but it was not in a hurry to advance northward.From Jinshan and Guichuan to Juyongguan, the activities of Ding Hai sentry are getting more and more intensive day by day.

They move around on the grassland in shifts of two to 30 people.Whenever they encountered Mongols, fierce fighting broke out immediately.What makes the Mongols angry is that two years ago, one or two Mongol Aljinchi were enough to chase and kill the Golden Army Sentinels, but now, two years later, these enemies have not given birth to four arms and two heads, but they are courageous. Stronger several times.So much so that two or 30 Dinghai sentry cavalry were dispatched, and the Mongolian army used a hundred cavalry to fight, and they all felt that it was difficult to eat hard bones.

It was precisely because of this that the hundreds of riders accompanying Tuo Lei did not dare to cross Dongluo Mountain.After all, no matter how many cavalry are used, it is just unnecessary consumption. On the contrary, the torpedo and light cavalry are simple, able to approach and investigate, and if there is anything wrong, they will retreat quickly.

In fact, before Tuo Lei went to Jinshan, many subordinates didn't want him to go at all.

Yelu Tuhua even begged Tuo Lei in private, simply stop rushing about Genghis Khan's trivial matters.Since the Great Khan is eager to march west, he can't control the situation on the grassland, and the Ding Navy may not have the confidence to go northward in a big way, so it doesn't make much sense whether the peace agreement can be reached.

If Tuo Lei did not meet Guo Ning in Jinshan, but was sent to Zhongdu by the local garrison of the Dinghai Navy, regardless of the final result, it would be impossible to talk about it. Almost two months?In case someone in the Central Capital had a whim, it was not impossible to keep Tuo Lei for another three to five years.

At that time, what will Yelu Tuhua and others do?
These Khitans, Jurchens, and Han Chinese have turned to Genghis Khan one after another in the past few years.Because Genghis Khan intends to attack Daikin, and they are well aware of Daikin's inside information, understand the means of defeating Daikin, and more or less put forward strategies for governing Daikin's vast territory, so they were specially promoted.

However, after the disastrous defeat of the Mongolian army at the beginning of this year, no one from the Mongols below Genghis Khan was willing to mention the word Dajin for a while, and the value of these people was greatly weakened.

For example, Yelu Tuhua, he and his elder brother Yelu Ahai were two of 19 people who drank muddy water with Genghis Khan in the Banjuni River.Now Yelu Ahai can still follow Genghis Khan's side, but Yelu Tuhua can only lead a group of Khitan people as thousands of households under Tuo Lei's command.

If Tuo Lei never returns, Yelu Tuhua simply doesn't know who else she can rely on, is she going to rely on Hesa'er and Wo Chijin?But even if he wanted to, those two were pure Mongolian faces, and they had no intention of accepting outsiders.

Fortunately, everyone's understanding of the Dajin Kingdom is still useful, and the guesses made by everyone are correct, and Guo Ning is indeed keeping a close eye on the situation on the grassland.Now, it took only an hour for Tuo Lei to agree on a major event and return, and everyone felt gratified and congratulated.

At present, everyone continued to head north, running all night.It was not until the middle of the moon, when the cavalry team crossed the cliff-strewn Dashiling, that they had completely left Dinghailing's control area, and then sent an order to choose a place to rest.

After Guo Baoyu led the troops in the first half of the journey, he turned to the front team to open the way in the second half of the journey. After receiving the order from Tuolei, he camped by a small river.Because they did not carry felt bags, the cavalry only slightly leveled the grass and dug a few wild stoves for the nobles to drink hot water.

Mongolians wear dried mutton or cheese next to their bodies to keep warm with their body temperature, and now they take out these rough foods from their arms and chew.

Autumn is approaching, the sky looks extraordinarily high and vast, and the twinkling brilliance of the Milky Way becomes more and more eye-catching.Tuo Lei remembered that when he was young, he used to sit in his father's arms and listen to him tell stories that had been passed down for thousands of years on the grassland.

My father said that in the distant ancient times, the people on the grassland carried out a large-scale conquest on an unprecedented scale.Millions of herdsmen and armies, driving countless herds, marched due west.They walked during the day and at night, and one day suddenly a group of people went astray, and they drove the herd, and they walked to the sky without knowing it.

Their way in heaven goes on forever and never stops.And when the people on the ground arrive at night, they can clearly see their figures moving forward with torches held high in the night sky, and see the road they have stepped on. This road is the road to heaven, which is the Milky Way that Han Er said , Xinghan.

Thousands of years have passed, and the people on the grassland will carry out another westward conquest on an unprecedented scale.The person who led them was Tuo Lei's father, the great Genghis Khan.

So, what will the road to the west this time be like?
How will future generations imagine this conquest?

In the process of this conquest, what should I, Tuo Lei, do for my father and win for myself?How will all the Mongols benefit from what I have won?
Tuo Lei felt that since he started to learn Han'er's characters and language, he seemed to have more thoughts than before, and he was less and less like a rough and bold Mongolian, but a little closer to those treacherous shamans, pointing casually What, can say a lot of words.

At this time, the stream suddenly made a splashing sound.It turned out that it was Liu Heima, the grandson of Liu Bolin, and Guo Dehai, the son of Guo Baoyu, who were walking across the reeds and water grass by the river, with a few struggling big fish hanging from the forks in their hands.

Mongolians usually don't like to touch the fish in the river, unless there is a natural disaster and all the livestock die, there will be Mongolians digging ice to fish near Haizi.

For Han Chinese and Jurchens, such a large river fish is a delicacy.However, the soldiers under Liu Bolin and Guo Baoyu all looked preoccupied, and no one went to meet them.Even the two chief generals slowly faded from the joy of welcoming Tuolei back on the hasty march just now, and their expressions were a little heavy.

Tuo Lei reckoned that they were different from the Mongols after all.They probably thought that after traveling thousands of miles from now on, life would be upside down, and they would no longer be able to live the normal life that Han'er was used to.

Thinking of this, Tuo Lei stood up and greeted Liu Heima and Guo Dehai with a smile.He endured the fishy smell, took a closer look, and asked, "What kind of fish is this? Is it edible? Is it delicious? How do you do it?"

The two teenagers had never talked to the fourth prince so intimately before, so they hurriedly said, "This is a squid! It's edible! It's delicious! We can make it. Fourth prince, do you want to try it?"

After a while, most of the soldiers around the camp were lying on the ground, snoring.There are also many war horses lying on the ground. Most of the horses are very tired, and there are purring sounds from their nostrils.

Torrey was sitting by the campfire, holding a branch with a half-branched fish in it.

His gums had just been pricked by a fishbone, and it hurt very much, and there was a lot of blood.But he endured the pain, and carefully pressed the thorns out with his tongue, and then praised: "Although there are many thorns, it is delicious."

He thought for a while and smiled again: "I like to eat what the Han people like to eat, because it is really delicious; just like the stories of the Han people, I like to hear them very much, and there are many truths in them."

Liu Bolin, who was by his side, immediately showed a happy expression: "Thank you, Fourth Prince, for your compliment."

Tuo Lei continued: "I often think these days that the Daliao of the Khitan people and the Dajin of the Jurchens have their various unbearable features, and they have produced many stupid emperors. But the two They were able to enter the Central Plains successively, establish an empire, rule so many Han children, and gather such a wealth of wealth. They relied not only on force, but more importantly, they understood the principles of Han children and were willing to use them. Well, There is also Guo Ning of the Dinghai Navy, the same is true..."

He stared at the bonfire in front of him, paused for a while, and said: "When I first met Guo Ning, I felt that the greatness of this person lies in the fact that he is brave and invincible in the front line; From among the countless cowardly people ruled by the Kingdom of Jin, brave fighters were selected and formed into a fierce army; I suddenly felt that the strength of this man lies in..."

It is not so easy to explain these meanings clearly in Chinese.Tuo Lei spoke more and more slowly, and finally smacked his lips and stopped.

The subordinates gathered around the campfire waited quietly.

After a while, Tuo Lei continued: "This Guo Ning is not only a warrior on the battlefield, but also a man who understands the principles of Han Er. He knows how to collect taxes from the people and use the collected materials to support the army; he He knows how to develop mines, build workshops, and make weapons; he knows how to build schools and teach the skills of fighting in schools. There are many reasons that I don’t understand now, but Guo Ning not only understands, but also does it. So Jin The people of the Kingdom of Jin are willing to abandon the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin and follow him instead. His territory is getting bigger and bigger, and the bigger the territory, the more support he will get from the countless people on the territory, and the more troops he can support The more, the more elite, the more trained, the more able to fight!"

He said a lot in one breath, and these words were all he had thought about repeatedly before, otherwise he would not be able to express them clearly at this moment.

When he was speaking slowly, Yelu Tuhua, Jie Chongshan and others who were standing in the distance all gathered together and nodded repeatedly.

"These principles are different from those on the grassland. However, governing a big country is indeed different from managing sheep and pastures on the grassland. From now on, please continue to teach me."

Everyone should be.

Tuo Lei picked up the branch and took a bite of the fish: "This time with the Great Khan, we can no longer end the looting like we did when we attacked the Party members and Jurchens before. I want to find an opportunity to try to use these Truth, to really rule the people and build a real country.”
