Chapter 295 Destruction of the Golden Kingdom 6
Chapter 295 The Destruction of the Jin Kingdom 6
Sangkun's ambition became increasingly greater with his mastery of the tribe during this period. For the Krei tribe, he knew that he would eventually be the leader of the country, but for the Mongolian Khanate, Sangkun also felt that it would not be a big deal to replace Jamuha... Now Jamuha is just defeating the Jin army, and his father Khan will be left to die. Will the Krei tribe still have a day to rise in the future? Even if there is, is it possible for the Krei tribe to unify the Mongolian tribe and become the Mongol Khan king?
This is obviously impossible
Wang Khan did not have the confidence to unify the grassland, but Sangkun had the ambition to unify the grassland. What's the harm if Wanyan Xun was defeated? Even if his 100,000 troops were wiped out, the Jin army would not sit down with Jamuha to negotiate. Jamuha continued to have established a country, which was to openly betray the Jin Kingdom. Wanyan Jing would not allow it anyway. Although the situation was pressing, he might verbally recognize the existence of the Mongolian Khanate, but in his heart, he would never want to see the rise of a powerful and unified Mongolian Khanate.
Now the Kelie tribe is in rebellion, and even encircled Jamukha in the Mongolian capital at the beginning, which gave the Jin Dynasty hope to kill Jamukha in the cradle. It is precisely because of this that Wanyan Xun led a 100,000 army to help.
Wang Khan couldn't see these things. He was now scared by Jamuha. Jamuha, surrounded by tens of thousands of landmines, could even come out, and defeated the Jin army outside the city. What kind of strength is this? Half of the entire Mongolian grassland was originally concentrated around Jamuha. Even if he conquered other tribes, what's the use?
"Come, I'll go back to the capital." Wang Khan finally decided to turn around. He didn't want to wander around the world like Temujin. Jamuha could fight back under such a bad situation. This was simply going against the will of heaven. He had no confidence in being an enemy of such a person. Since he heard that Wanyan Xun was defeated, he had no confidence again.
It was quiet outside the tent and no one answered. Wang Khan yelled again. Are these people deaf?
Wang Khan walked out of the tent and found a row of soldiers standing outside the tent, but they were not his own soldiers. His face immediately changed, "Who sent you?"
No one replied, and even those people didn't look at him, as if they were really deaf.
"Bang"
Wang Han pulled out the scimitar and raised his hand to slash at a soldier standing beside him...
The voice of "Father Khan" Sangkun appeared in time, leaving Wang Khan's scimitar in mid-air.
"Is this your person?" Wang Han looked angry. Sang Kun was so bold. His behavior was tantamount to declaring a rebellion.
"I'm also thinking about the future of the Krei tribe." Sangkun said lightly in response to Wang Khan's glaring eyes.
"What did you say? It seems that your wings are really hard." Wang Khan looked at Sangkun's stubborn gaze and sighed in his heart. Jamuha was even younger than Sangkun, but he had already unified the grassland. It makes sense that Sangkun was not convinced. Moreover, he now has the firearms that Jamuha relied on to win and the support of the Jin Kingdom that Jamuha had not originally. Although there is also a Xia king of the Western Xia, a prince cannot be compared with the emperor of the Jin Dynasty after all. Since Han Zhongwei sent only 20,000 guards into the grassland, Wanyan Jing sent 100,000 Jin soldiers into the grassland at once, which shows that.
"Father Khan is actually very relieved. Even if Jamuha really defeated Wanyan Xun, his position as the King of Khan would still be unsteady." Sang Kun said calmly. Wang Khan was very disappointed when he heard Wanyan Xun's panic after his crushing defeat. Now he has to return to the capital to apologize to Jamuha. If it weren't for his prevention in advance, things would have been bad.
"Okay, I won't go to the capital city, I will change to Zhongdu. Is this okay?" Wang Khan sighed, and he decided to let Sang Kun give it his all. If he doesn't succeed, he will leave a way out for him in Zhongdu first.
"If my father Khan really wants to go, please set off immediately and report to the Emperor of Jin, so that he can learn about Wanyan Xun's defeat earlier." Sang Kun's eyes rolled and he hurriedly said that the Jin Dynasty would have been angry one day before the news of the annihilation of the 100,000 Jin soldiers, and would have been angry one day earlier, and would have been attacked again one day earlier.
Although Sangkun is very confident, he also knows that it is difficult to compete with Jamuha alone with his family. Only by getting the full support of the Jin Kingdom can he defeat Jamuha and finally let himself sit on his current chair.
Wanyan Jing actually learned about Wanyan Xun's defeat two days earlier than Wang Khan. He had two sources of information. One was some fish that escaped that night. They escaped from the queen, even if they returned to the Mongolian capital. They all hated their parents for having two legs. With the help of four legs, they returned to Zhongdu without looking back. Another source of information was an envoy sent by Jamuha. Now Wanyan Xun has fallen into Jamuha's hands. Originally, he wanted to kill Wanyan Xun, but Sang Kun seized power at the critical moment and allowed Wanyan Xun to escape temporarily. Therefore, Jamuha sent to Zhongdu to let Wanyan Jing redeem people.
Now Wanyan Jing heard Wan Xun's news from Wang Khan again. Of course, he would not be in a good mood and did not give him a good look. Even after Wang Khan gave his salute, he did not let him carry a chair to sit.
"Why do you divide the troops?" Wanyan Jing suppressed his anger and asked coldly after Wang Khan finished speaking.
"At that time, Jamuha's city could not be captured for a long time. General Wanyan organized several attacks, but they all returned in a desperate situation. Therefore, we discussed to trap Jamuha in the city first and subdue other tribes before making Jamuha alone. But unexpectedly, less than two days after we left, he launched an attack on the army outside the city." Wang Khan has not yet figured out how Jamuha's army came out. Could it be that he had buried ambushers outside the city? But if that were the case, he would not let him go.
"Since you used firearms to seal the city, how did Jamuha's army leave the city?" Wanyan Jing asked.
"This is exactly what I can't understand." Wang Khan could only hearsay, but he didn't know the reason.
"You go down. Since you are here, stay in Zhongdu for a longer time." Seeing that Wang Khan could not ask anything, Wanyan Jing was in no mood to say anything to him. Now he was bored. Wanyan Xun has now become a prisoner, and only a few hundred people have returned. These are all things that have made him feel very troubled.
Looking at Wang Khan's old figure, Wanyan Jing cursed inwardly, "Old fool, if he hadn't been to the division of troops, with his nearly 200,000 troops and Wanyan Xun, would he be afraid of Jamukha's sneak attack? But now that happened, he would not have been able to take down Wang Khan. After all, the matter on the grasslands still depends on the efforts of the Krei tribe, and the Krei tribe is indeed more obedient."
As soon as Wang Khan left, Wanyan Xiang, the left prime minister and Privy Councilor of the Jin Dynasty, came in to pay a visit. Wanyan Jing knew that it was definitely about Jamuha's matter, so he immediately let him in.
When he saw Wanyan Xiang, before he could pay his respects, Wanyan Jing opened his mouth and asked, "Did you find out?"
What he said was to find out was how Jamuha's army suddenly appeared on the periphery of the army led by Wanyan Xun. What Wanyan Jing was most worried about was whether the troops that attacked were Han Zhongwei's escort. He used the seven prefectures to exchange for Han Zhongwei's indifference to Jamuha. If Han Zhongwei continued to support Jamuha as strongly as before, he would have suffered a great loss, and it would have been a bit unfair to die a hundred thousand troops.
"Just just got the news, it can be concluded that the army that attacked Wanyan Xun was the Mongolian army of Jamuha, and it had nothing to do with the guards. As for how they suddenly appeared behind Wanyan Xun, there was an answer. Jamuha sent people and horses out of the city through two tunnels, and then launched a sudden attack." Wanyan Xiang said, this was the latest news from the Mongolian capital. Although Jamuha had ordered the attention to keeping the secret, 80,000 troops were all out of the city through the tunnel, and he also won such a big victory. It was impossible to completely keep the secret. At most, the entrance to the secret passage was not known to outsiders. As for the secret passage, it could not be kept no matter what.
"It's good that it has nothing to do with the guards, Wanyan Xiang, what do you think we should do next?" Wanyan Jing breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Han Zhongwei could keep his promise, he believed that he would be able to kill Jamukha on the horse.
"Reinforced troops" Wanyan Xiang gently spit out two words. Although he was the prime minister and a civil servant, what really made him reach the top was because of military affairs. It was precisely because of his victory in several military use against the Mongolian tribe that he had today's position.
"How much does it increase?" Wanyan Jing also knew that it was impossible to defeat Jamuha without increasing troops, but there was no final decision on how many soldiers he sent and who would lead the troops.
"Five hundred thousand" Wanyan Xiang gently spit out these three words, as if he was talking about fifty people instead of fifty people.
"Five hundred thousand?" Wanyan Jing frowned. This was to relocate all the troops that could be used in the country. If something happened in the country, the court would fall into the point where there was no soldiers available. Although the Jin Dynasty had more than one million soldiers, the elite troops in the capital could not be used. Especially after Li An's case, Wanyan Jing was particularly cautious about the army and generals in the capital. He even asked to send secret spies to let those who command the commanders in the capital monitor the entire day and report to him once a day.
"Yes, and the capital city has to send at least 100,000 troops." Wanyan Xiang actually had a 500,000 pounds. If he wanted to kill Jamukhe with one stick, it would be better to have a million troops, and use the power of a lion to fight against a rabbit to completely solve the hidden dangers of Mongolia in one fell swoop. But this matter can only be thought about in my heart. If you really want to raise it, don't say that Wanyan Jing would not agree, even himself would not agree to such a crazy idea.
Now sending 500,000 troops into the grassland, it seems a lot, but Wanyan Xiang still feels that it is not enough. Fighting on the grassland is no longer as good as other places. Many times, they will face the choice of division of troops. Don’t look at 500,000 people who can be scary to hear it. But if the division of troops is repeated again and again, it will soon be divided into a large army of about 100,000 troops. If Jamukha is used properly, he may be defeated by him. Of course, with the full support of the Kelie tribe, on the grassland, the Jin army is no longer the same as the original deaf and blind.
"Are you sure?" Wanyan Jing pondered for a while before asking slowly. Although the 500,000 army proposed by Wanyan Xiang surprised him, he was not surprised yet, but the garrison troops in the capital also produced 100,000 people, which made him hesitate.
"Only 70%." Wanyan Xiang was aware of the military strength of the Jin Dynasty. Without the 100,000 troops of the Kelie tribe as an ally, he would not have advocated that the Jin Dynasty's army enter the Mongolian grasslands. With the current strength of the Jin Dynasty, it would have been a very good achievement to defend the border and prevent the Mongols from invading.
"70%?" Wanyan Jing looked at Wanyan Xiang and thought to himself that this was already a very high probability. He knew Wanyan Xiang very well and never said something he was unsure. Since he said he was 70% sure, he would definitely have something to rely on.
"If Han Zhongwei can support us in turn, then you will be 100% sure." Wanyan Xiang said again. He began to pay attention to Han Zhongwei since last year. The speed of this person's success in Xixia was too amazing. In just two or three years, he made him from a civilian to an extremely noble prince. Moreover, the current Emperor of Xixia was designated by him, and Li Zunxu was just a puppet. Even Jamuha of the Mongolian Khanate was obedient to Han Zhongwei. If the Dajin could get the support of Han Zhongwei, he could even support Sangkun of the Kelie tribe to the position of the Mongolian Khan King without a 500,000 army.
"Han Zhongwei has a very good relationship with Jamuha. It is already very difficult to convince him not to participate in Mongolia. If he supports us to attack Jamuha again, it will be difficult to ascend to heaven." Wanyan Jing shook his head and persuaded Han Zhongwei to remain neutral, he would pay the price of seven prefectures. If Han Zhongwei joins his camp, how much more would it cost?
Wanyan Xiang knew that it was impossible to win Han Zhongwei's support, but fortunately the emperor did not reject the proposal of the 500,000 army. If Wanyan Jing had no courage and added fuel to Mongolia for 100,000 or 200,000 yuan at a time, that would be the worst thing.
Finally, when it comes to the generals of commanding the army, the two of them had a very consistent opinion this time, and Wanyan Xiang personally led the troops. Now, only Wanyan Xiang is competent for this position in the Jin Dynasty. If it were someone else, neither Wanyan Jing nor Wanyan Xiang would be relieved. Wanyan Xiang was even more outspoken. If it were someone else, the hope of success would be up to 40%.
Since they decided to use troops against Mongolia and to carry out active troops across the country, Wanyan Jing and Wanyan Xiang were very cautious. The army was dispatched, with food and grass first, and the 500,000 troops heading to Mongolia had to prepare carefully, which took a relatively long time. During this period, Wanyan Jing had to do one thing, and he had to find a way to rescue Wanyan Xun.
Although Wanyan Xun suffered a defeat this time, and it was a big defeat, Wanyan Jing was angry but did not take his anger on Wanyan Xun. Thinking about it, even if Wanyan Xiang was present at that time, he would probably suffer a big loss. Perhaps Wanyan Xiang's vigilance would be higher than Wanyan Xun, but in such a situation, failure is inevitable, and it would be reasonable to eliminate the entire army.
This time, Jamuha sent an envoy to Zhongdu to release Wanyan Xun. Of course, the conditions were quite harsh, including 200,000 stones of grain, 500,000 jin of iron, 100,000 jin of salt, and 100,000 tans of tea. And there was no room for bargaining. If Wanyan Jing did not agree, there would be only one. Wanyan Xun was killed, and even the corpse would not be returned to the Jin Kingdom, because Jamuha said that even if Wanyan Jing wanted to get the corpse back, it would have to be implemented half of the conditions of the living person.
Iron, salt, and tea are okay. In the past two years, the Jin Dynasty was either flooded or drought. The grain was also very tight for the country. Where can I give the remaining grain to Jamuha? Moreover, Wanyan Jing is ready to send an army of 500,000 into the grassland and directly take down Jamuha's capital. How could he give these things to him at such a critical moment?
Seeing that Wanyan Jing disagreed, Jamuha's messenger didn't say a word and turned around and left. Since Wanyan Jing thought Wanyan Xun was not worth the price, let him regret it.
Seeing Jamuha's special envoy left, Wanyan Jing was in a state of grief and anger. He was the Lord of the Great Jin. When was it the turn to be humiliated by a tribe on the grassland?
As soon as Jamukha's special envoy left, the entire Jin Kingdom immediately entered a state of emergency. The troops and food and supplies of various prefectures began to concentrate in the capital. All departments in the court also began to become extremely busy and went all out to support Wanyan Xiang's expedition. Whether it was the Privy Council, the Ministry of Revenue, or the Ministry of Works, they all focused their energy on the expedition.
The Jin Kingdom's great mobilization of troops and generals could not hide it from others, but it would definitely not be able to hide it from Han Zhongwei. As Wanyan Jing agreed to send 500,000 troops to attack Jamukha, Han Zhongwei's attention turned to Jin Kingdom Middle School. Every day, he asked Ding Chuan to summarize all the information about the Jin Kingdom to him, and he had to check all the information himself.
"Ding Chuan, have you notified Zhao Shijie?" Han Zhongwei saw that the Jin Dynasty was preparing various material and military affairs in an intense manner, and knew that Wanyan Jing could not sit still. The loyalty of the Kelie tribe gave him great confidence. In addition, Wanyan Xiang personally led the troops, with the force of a 500,000 army, I am afraid that all the troops of the Mongolian Khanate would be less than 500,000?
"I informed Battalion Commander Zhao ten days ago. I believe Jamuha should have known the news." Ding Chuan chuckled. The Jin Kingdom fought with Mongolia. Although he had to pay close attention at any time, it was not the guards fighting against the Jin Kingdom after all, so Ding Chuan felt that the pressure was much less than before.
"Jamuha won't panic, right?" Han Zhongwei didn't know what kind of initiative Jamuha would have when he heard 500,000 Jin soldiers coming to attack his capital.
"No, on the contrary, sharpen the knife and prepare to defeat the Jin soldiers again under his capital." Ding Chuan smiled. Although the authentic secret was not kept last time, the secret at the authentic entrance was kept. This was a secret weapon of Jamuha. He could defend it in the city walls. Although the Jin Kingdom had a army of 500,000, as long as he did not take the initiative to leave the city, he could still easily defend it. What's more, in the field, who in the world can be the opponent of the Mongolian cavalry? Perhaps, except for the guards, Jamuha would not take any other army seriously.
"That's good. As long as the 500,000 troops of the Jin Kingdom stay on the grassland, the Jin Kingdom will be really shaking." Han Zhongwei looked in the direction of Zhongdu and murmured to himself.
