Chapter 263: The Highest Price Gets It When Temujin received the news of Hesar's fiasco, Jamuka and Du Gao had already returned to the Zhadala tribe on the plateau. . . In fact, even if the dozens of scouts who luckily did not participate in the ambush and survived came back to report, Temujin would have already guessed the outcome. Jamukha has already come back, and I heard that there will be 10,000 more soldiers when he comes back. Even if he thinks about it, he knows that Hesar and Timuge have not completed their mission. However, Temujin did not expect that the consequences of not completing the task would be so serious. The scouts who paid close attention to the Zhata tribe on the plateau came back to report that when Zhamuka returned to the tribe, there were two human heads hanging in front of his horse, with Hesa ??on the left. Son, on the right is Temuge. This made Temujin almost fainted to the ground after learning the news. These are all my brothers. Hesar is brave and resourceful, and the most valuable thing is his calm deeds; Temuge, although he speaks vulgarly and acts a little recklessly, is a peerless general who charges into battle. The two of them had gone through life and death with them, and had encountered many dangers, but they did not expect that this time the boat capsized in the gutter. Why did a sure-fire ambush fail so miserably? Even if Jamukha had 10,000 more people, Temujin still believed that with the strength of Jamukha and Temuge, the two of them could come back safe and sound. But now, they have become two headless corpses. Hesar is better. His corpse was brought back by the scouts. As for Temuge, they searched all the corpses but could not find him. This made Temujin I felt even more uncomfortable. A corpse without a head is miserable enough, but Temuge had no corpse at all, and the only thing he brought back was the suit of armor. Temujin called all the scouts into the tent and questioned them one by one in detail. Although Temujin did not witness it with his own eyes, after these questionings, he guessed what happened. Temuge's death was entirely his own fault. He dared to go to the Black City alone. It was his own fault. It would have been better if he had not been allowed to go in the first place. The reason why Hesar was defeated was entirely because the opponent had firearms. Otherwise, if 10,000 people were used to deal with the 2,000 people of the Qiyan tribe and the 10,000 Xixia troops, not to mention a complete victory, at least they would be defeated. The power of Xixia's firearms was so great that many war horses were beaten to death and dismembered. In addition, the firearms were mixed with many iron nails and pieces of iron. As long as they were shot, they would be injured if they were not killed. Thinking that Jamuka still had a large number of such firearms in his hands, Temujin became agitated. It turned out that all the plans had changed. At least Temujin did not think that he could unify all Mongolian tribes in a short period of time. As long as Jamuka's Plateau Zatala tribe still exists, it will be difficult for his own Qiyan tribe to get ahead. If Jamuka had no firearms, Temujin believed that he could make the Plateau Jamuka tribe surrender in just one battle. But now, maybe with just one battle, the Qiyan tribe might be annexed by Jamuka. ¡°Now may be the time when the Qiyan tribe¡¯s life and death are at stake. If we make one wrong move, the consequences will be the annihilation of our clan. In the hands of Temujin's father, the begging tribe was once dispersed and torn apart. Later, in the hands of Temujin's perseverance, the begging tribe has gradually recovered its vitality, and now it has become one of the four largest tribes on the grassland. One of the tribes. However, after Hesar ambushed Jamuka, it was difficult to predict whether the Qiyan tribe could retain one of the top four. In this situation, every step Temujin takes is related to the future of the entire clan, so he does not dare to be arrogant and call all his close men and brothers and generals into his sweat tent to discuss matters as he did before. But this time, Hesar and Temuge were missing, especially Temuge's loud voice. Without him, the atmosphere was particularly depressing. "I think everyone already knows that Hesar and Temuge led 10,000 people to ambush Jamukha. However, the ambush failed and the entire army of 10,000 men was wiped out. Hesar and Temuge also became Jamukha's victims. "Now let's talk about it, what should we do next?" Temujin looked sad. These people he lost were all his brothers, a total of 10,000 people. He had never suffered such a tragic defeat since he became the Khan of the tribe. Pass. "Retaliation for enmity, repaying kindness for kindness. Needless to say, gather all your troops and go directly to the Zatala tribe on the plateau. Kill all the Jamuka clan members and avenge Hesar and Temujin." Tie As soon as Mujin finished speaking, Belgudai, who was also Temujin's brother, stood up and shouted loudly. ¡°Yes, take revenge¡± ¡°Kill all the Gaoyuan Zada ??tribe¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t take revenge, I swear you won¡¯t be a human being¡±¡ The crowd in the tent was full of emotions. When did the Qiyan tribe suffer such a big loss? A total of 10,000 people. This kid Jamuka is so vicious that he can actually do it. You must know that when he was a child, he was Temujin Anda, and he was like a brother to Kasar and Temuge. "Revenge? How to take revenge? How to take revenge? What to use for revenge?" Temujin saw that the situation was a bit out of control. If he was forced by them to immediately avenge Hesar and Temuge, maybe the Qiyan tribe would really be annihilated. Planted. ?"Kill all the Zhadala tribe on the plateau" "Yes, immediately gather the warriors from all tribes and kill directly to the Zhadala tribe on the plateau. Kill them by surprise." "Great Khan, if we don't avenge this revenge, we will have no shame in living in this world anymore. "Do you know why Hesar failed? Not only did he fail to win against 2,000 people, but his entire army was annihilated? Now that Jamuka has returned to the tribe, he also has tens of thousands of troops and horses, including two others. If you can't deal with a thousand people, how can you deal with tens of thousands of people? Do you want the Qiyan tribe to be wiped out?" Temujin said coldly. "Isn't it just a firearm? Since Jamukha can be bought in Xixia, why can't we?" Belgutai said loudly. "Yes, since the Western Xia people's firearms can be sold to the Zhadala tribe on the plateau, they can also be sold to our Qiyan tribe." "Okay, Belgutai, are you willing to go to the Black City?" Tiemu Zhen said in a deep voice. "If I can avenge the brothers Hesar and Timuge, don't say I'm willing to go there. I'm willing to die now," Belgutai said categorically. "Okay, you immediately bring all the gold, silver and jewelry in the tribe, and five thousand people, and go to the Black City to buy firearms for me. Buy as many firearms as you can. You can tell those Xixia people that no matter what the Gaoyuan Zha We, the Qiyan Department, are willing to pay the price of two units no matter how much the Tashi Department pays, but there is one condition, that is, their firearms can only be sold to us in the future. Of course, if they don't agree to the last condition, there is no need to force us. Just buy more firearms," ??Temujin said. After Jamuka came back this time, there were 10,000 more Xixia troops. All fools knew that Jamukha had established a good relationship with the Xixia people, and now he asked the Xixia people not to sell them firearms. It seems that Temujin, a member of the Gaoyuan Zhata tribe, does not have such a great reputation. Even if Temujin is willing to pay twice the price, it is still unknown whether he can buy firearms. Since Temujin could think of that condition, couldn't Jamuka also think of it? Otherwise, Jamuka cannot be called a hero on the grassland. After the meeting, Temujin left Belgutai behind. Belgutai was preparing to leave tomorrow. If he bought firearms earlier, he would have the capital to challenge the Zhadara tribe on the plateau a day earlier. After listening to Temujin's description of the power of Western Xia firearms, all of those people's expressions changed. Who is Hesar? But he had no power to fight back in front of Xixia firearms. It can be said that this time Hesar and Temuge did not die in the hands of Jamuka, but in the hands of Xixia firearms. It stands to reason that Temujin should also list Xixia as his enemy, but he did not mention this in the tent, and at the same time deliberately downplayed the fact that the firearms were sold to Jamuka by the Xixia people. Even if someone mentioned it, He also asked him to target Jamuka with four ounces of force. Now Temujin doesn't have much to do against Xixia. If he can unify all the Mongolian tribes, maybe Temujin will let Xixia go and arrest him, but that's not possible now. Those firearms are still in the hands of Xixia. If he can fight with Xixia people now If the relationship becomes stalemate, wouldn't it mean that you are cutting off your own escape path? The Qiyan tribe with firearms may not necessarily be able to defeat the Plateau Zatala tribe, but the Qiyan tribe without firearms will definitely not be the opponent of the Plateau Zatala tribe. Temujin and Belgudai mounted their horses, and the two brothers Racing horses on the grassland, looking at the boundless grassland, Temujin felt the pride in his heart soaring to the sky. This grassland must belong to the Qiyan tribe, and the world will surely surrender under my feet, Temujin. "Khan, there is a small river ahead, let's chat there." Of course Belgutai knew that when Temujin pulled him out at this time, he would not just relax, but he must have something to explain to him. "Okay." Temujin and Belgudei let their war horses chew grass nearby. The two brothers found a suitable place to sit down cross-legged. Temujin took out a sheepskin bag containing wine from his waist and pulled it. He opened the cork and took a big gulp, then handed it to Belgutai. "Beelgutai, are you confident in buying firearms this time when you go to Xixia?" Temujin asked. Although Belgutai took the initiative to ask for help, he had no idea. This has never happened in recent years. Therefore, he brought Belgutai out specially and decided to discuss it with him carefully. "What's the difficulty? As long as we can afford the price, why are we afraid that the other party won't sell it?" Belgutai handed the wine bag back to Temujin and said carelessly. "This is not necessarily the case. If you have such thoughts, don't go as soon as possible. It will be a small thing if you can't buy firearms, but a big thing if you put the begging tribe in a desperate situation." Temujin really felt the crisis this time. Man, this is nearly one-third of the strength of his tribe, and there is not even a bubble. I heard that when Jamuka returned to the Zatala tribe on the plateau, he still had nearly two thousand men, which shows that he was not damaged at all. This also further illustrates the power of those Xixia firearms. Now the Jin Kingdom also has such firearms, which makes the tribes in Mongolia no longer dare to go to the east to harvest grass and valleys easily, and firearms?It was made by the Western Xia people, as evidenced by the death of tens of thousands of Mongolian warriors in their hands a few months ago. The road to the south was also blocked. Now Jamuka also has firearms in his hands. Could it be that the Immortal God no longer favors these people on the grassland? What? "Don't worry, Khan. Since Xixia's firearms will be sold to Jamuka, it means that they are all greedy for money. I will go to Xixia, buy a few officials with money, and then buy firearms with their help. I believe it will be a success." Belgutai said that the people on the grassland are all genuine, they speak straight and straight, and they don¡¯t hide things, but people like the Jin Kingdom and Xixia are different. They have a lot of twists and turns in their stomachs, and they are also greedy for money. , you have to be more careful when dealing with them. "It's very good that you have such an idea, but you should also know that we people on the grasslands have always used barter to trade, but if these firearms are made of gold, silver and jewelry, it will be very detrimental to us. "Although I said that I can buy the same thing at twice the price of Jamuka, I will only make the final concession as a last resort. Do you understand what I mean?" Temujin said. He can be called a hero, but when it comes to interacting with other foreigners, he seems a bit immature. This is not an exaggeration. The current Temujin is not Genghis Khan. A person can only see the distance at a high position. Now he is For the beggar-faced Khan, it¡¯s great to see these. Belgutai went to Black City the next day, and as soon as his people left, the Qiyan Department immediately launched an emergency mobilization, and everyone entered the first level of alert. As long as there was the slightest sign of trouble in the Plateau Zatala Department, the Qiyan Department would Just be extremely nervous. Now the Plateau Zhadara tribe has extremely powerful firearms, but as for the Qiyan tribe, they only have flesh and blood bodies. They use flesh and blood to fight the firearms. Hesar and Temuge have set an example for them. No one thinks There is a possibility of winning. But what is surprising is that Jamuka has not taken any action since he returned to the Plateau Zatala Department. Maybe he is waiting for an opportunity, maybe he does not take the Qiyan Department into his eyes at all now, maybe he already has The actions were not noticed by the people in the Qiyan Department. Belgutai brought five thousand men and horses, driving more than twenty carts of gold and silver treasures. This was all the wealth accumulated by the Qiyan tribe over the years, otherwise Temujin would not have sent five thousand men and horses to protect him. Belgutai was working hard along the way, and now the tribe's hopes were all pinned on him. If he couldn't buy firearms this time, he would have no choice but to become a prey to Jamuka's swordsmen. In order to speed up, two days after leaving the tribe, Belgutai ordered people to take down the gold and silver treasures from those cars, and ordered a team of thousands of people to take them away. Each soldier in the Qiyan tribe has at least three horses. This time, considering that it was not a battle, he only brought two horses, one to sit on and the other to carry things. Now, as long as more items are placed on each person's idle horse, those carriages can be abandoned. In this case, the speed of the entire team will be greatly increased. Without the drag of the carriage, Belgutai's speed was indeed much faster. After three days, he arrived at the valley where Hesar ambushed Jamuka last time. At this time, the valley had become calm, but as soon as they entered the valley, all the Qiyan warriors were stunned. The gentle slopes on both sides of the valley were littered with the corpses of their own people. The ambitious Jamuka could not even do this. If he doesn't do this, can he still be called a citizen of Changshengtian? At this time, even if Belgutai wants to rush on his way, he can only stop. If he goes to Xixia at all costs, he believes that there will be a cold arrow of hatred shot from behind. Many of the people brought out by Hesar last time were the brothers and friends of the soldiers brought out by Belgutai now. Belgutai decided to stay in the valley for half a day to dispose of the corpses of the Qiyan tribe soldiers. However, before disposing of the corpses, Belgutai did not dare to be careless. He sent scouts to conduct reconnaissance in the five directions, especially on the left and right sides. On the hillside, each team of 100 people was stationed. Standing high, he could see far. As long as there were traces of enemies in the distance, he would be alerted immediately. But Belgutai seems to have forgotten one thing. Five miles is not too far for the cavalry. Although he occupies the commanding heights on both sides, the other side of the mountain outside the two sides is where Hesar was originally. He did not send anyone to the place where the troops were hidden at the beginning. Otherwise, I believe Belgutai would have gained something. "Brother Du, you are really clever. That kid from Belgutai finally stopped in the valley." In the dense forest on another hillside in the valley, Jamuka and Du Gao were chatting quietly. Temujin's people have been observing Jamukha's actions. Of course Jamukha will not be idle. His people also keep a close eye on the Begging Department. Jamukha even bribed several people to do business in the Begging Department. Businessmen, let them bring their men into the begging department, so that they can get first-hand information. As soon as Belgutai set off, Jamuka got the news. This time Temujin made so much noise that almost the entireThe people in the Qiyan tribe were all alarmed. They were ordered to hand over all the gold and silver jewelry in their homes in order to avenge Hesar and Temuge and behead Jamuka, the poisonous snake. Combined, if Jamukha still couldn¡¯t guess Belgutai¡¯s whereabouts and intentions, then his role as chief would be in vain. He immediately came to Du Gao to discuss how to make Temujin suffer a big loss again. Du Gao rolled his eyes and immediately thought of a brilliant idea. Du Gao used a flying pigeon to send a message asking Han Zhongwei to send someone to assist him. At the same time, he and Jamuhe each took a thousand people and rushed to the valley day and night. Fortunately, Belgutai did not send the dozens of cars at the beginning. The gold and silver jewelry were separated, which bought Jamukha time. His troops arrived here two days earlier than Belgutai. Two days can already change the fate of many people. Those soldiers from the Qiyan tribe who originally died have been buried by Jamuka's order. You must know that the 600 landmines last time exploded many big craters, which is perfect for burying people. No matter how cold-blooded Jamukha was, he would still show mercy to the deceased when he was almost completely victorious. But this time Jamuka demanded that these people be dug out again immediately. While digging out people, they were also digging holes in the valley. Now his men were familiar with laying landmines, although this time the mines were different from the last time. , but I also learned it in the original training. Soon, a ring-shaped mine array with rope pull was formed in the valley. As long as the rope is gently pulled, hundreds of mines will explode at once. As long as the men and horses of Belgutai know how to To stay in the valley, even for just a moment, would be a tragic fate. "Brother Du, why haven't you heard the explosion?" Jamuka knew very well what a terrifying scene it would be for hundreds of landmines to explode at the same time, so he hid his men so far away. As for the one in the valley The person who was preparing to trigger the landmine buried himself underground, otherwise his own life would not be safe. "It should be soon, don't worry, there are so many corpses, Belgutai is busy enough." Du Gao said nonchalantly. "Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom" Suddenly, deafening continuous explosions were heard in the valley. Jamuhe was overjoyed when he heard it, and immediately ordered people to blow the horns and kill into the valley. tidy( )
