    Chapter 276: Cutting the Grass Hearing the news, Han Zhongwei was stunned for a moment. Temujin was planning to march westward in advance.  Now it's better. The Central Plains, Song Dynasty, and Xixia no longer have this scourge, and it is the turn of the foreigners to have a headache.  Although Temujin did not unify the Mongolian tribes, the mourning soldiers he led now can inspire their ferocity.  Now the Qiyan tribe has no retreat. They have no retreat except to keep going west.  In order for the Qiyan tribe to have a place to survive, both Temujin and his men would bravely take the lead and kill the enemies who dared to block the way.  Han Zhongwei didn¡¯t know whether he should be happy or regretful when he heard the news. If Temujin had indeed gone all the way to the west, given his current situation, it would be inappropriate to pursue him again.  In fact, as long as Temujin did not come to hinder the unification of the Song Dynasty, Han Zhongwei did not want to really drive him away.  This may be the best ending now. Temujin cannot be found, and the one who should be worried most is Jamukha.  In addition to desperately consolidating his strength on the grassland, I believe he did not dare to invade the South. Who knows if Temujin will suddenly come back with his begging tribe?  Besides, with Jamuka¡¯s courage, he did not have the ambition to unify the world. This is why Han Zhongwei chose to help him unify the Mongolian grasslands.  One day later, Han Zhongwei met Jamuka. At this time, Jamuka also got the news that Temujin had passed through the Naiman tribe and headed west. At this time, his heart was really empty. He had concentrated on almost the entire grassland.  However, Temujin avoided fighting and just fled westward.  "Your Majesty, now that Temujin has fled to the west, what should we do next?" After Jamukha saw Han Zhongwei, the first thing he did was to ask him for advice.  "It seems that Temujin can't catch up. If we go further west, we don't even know what's over there. Since he fled far away, I think that's it for now. I will have ten thousand people left in the guard city at any time.  Troops, no matter when Temujin comes back, there will be no good harvest, and I believe he will never come back again in this life," Han Zhongwei said with a smile, because Temujin was not put to death, and now this has become a reality.  The Sword of Damocles hung above Jamuka's head.  This is good, as it will prevent Jamukha from becoming too ambitious.  "I am leading hundreds of thousands of horses this time, and the prince also has tens of thousands of horses here. Isn't it a waste of time?" Jamukha said with a bitter face.  "Why are you running away in vain? You are now the de facto lord of the grassland. How can you tolerate the existence of this powerful tribe? We Han people have an old saying, how can we allow others to snore on the side of the couch? Since there are so many troops gathered, it is just a solution  Go back after leaving the Naiman tribe." Han Zhongwei snorted coldly.  "Yes, you must not leave a lion next to the tiger." Jamuka nodded. Originally, if Han Zhongwei didn't come, he would have thought about going back first. But now it seems that the prince's realm is much higher than his own.  "Before attacking the Naiman tribe, we must first figure out one thing. Has Temujin introduced our firearms to the Naiman tribe in detail?" Han Zhongwei thought for a moment and then said.  "Do you still have to ask? The reason why he ran away desperately was because he was afraid of our firearms. Now the Naiman tribe must be more vigilant and ready to deal with us. Maybe they will be like the Qiyan tribe, in order to survive,  All move westward," Jamuka said.  "This is not necessarily true. Without investigation, you have no right to speak. Temujin married you three times. Maybe before he left, he left a big gift in the end." Han Zhongwei said with a smile. This is not impossible.  Perhaps, since entering the grasslands, the reputation of firearms has only been limited to legends, and many tribes on the Mongolian grasslands have never really seen them. Therefore, the Naiman tribe can only obtain information about firearms from Temujin.  But it is possible that Temujin did not tell him, and this possibility is very high.  If Temujin was a true hero, from his perspective, between the Naiman tribe and Jamuka, maybe he would really choose to support Jamuka.  Firstly, he and Jamuka have been married three times, and secondly, Jamuka will eventually win anyway, so helping him at this time can be regarded as returning a favor to him.  Maybe in the future, when the Qiyan tribe cannot survive in the Western world and his descendants bring the Qiyan tribe back to the grassland, Jamuka will accept them.  And the most important point is that in Temujin's heart, perhaps he most hopes that Jamuka will unify the Mongolian grasslands, so that when he accumulates enough strength and returns to the grasslands again, he can find his opponent immediately.  Although Jamuka sneered at Han Zhongwei's proposal in his heart, since Han Zhongwei told him solemnly, he still did not dare to neglect and immediately sent someone to verify it.  Now Jamukha is considered the actual ruler of the Mongolian grasslands, but in his heart he always feels that he is also a general under Han Zhongwei. No matter now or in the future, as long as Han Zhongwei gives an order, he willAct according to orders.  "King Xia, since I want to attack the Naiman tribe, I wonder what your prince can teach me?" Compared with Jamukha and Temujin, in addition to their own strategies and bravery, the counselors and generals under their command are even more different. If not  With the support of Han Zhongwei, it is still unknown whether he can be a stable king of Mongolia.  "I heard that the Naiman tribe now has two branches, namely Buyulu Khan and Taiyang Khan. Although they are brothers, they don't get along, so there is an opportunity." Han Zhongwei said with a smile.  "Your Majesty, do you mean to defeat each one?" Jamukha asked.  "That's right, you attack one branch of the Naiman tribe first, and maybe the other branch will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." Han Zhongwei said with a smile. The Naiman tribe is at odds, so we can defeat them one by one.  Things were just as Han Zhongwei expected. When Jamukha's army attacked Buyulu Khan, Taiyang Khan did nothing.  Even Taiyang Khan secretly sent someone to communicate with Jamuka, hoping to join forces to deal with Buyulu Khan.  Taiyang Khan knew very well that the reason why Jamukha dealt with Buyulu Khan was mainly to punish Buyuluhan for shielding Temujin. However, he did not have any contact with the Qiyan tribe at the beginning, so he was not afraid of the shadow.  .  This time Jamuka has an army of hundreds of thousands, and no matter how powerful King Lu is, he still cannot resist it.  What's more, Jamuka also has the help of firearms. What's especially important is that after his combined army, there are also the first division of the First Guard Army and the Second Guard Army, which are more than 20,000 well-trained elite soldiers.  This time, in the decisive battle with King Buyu Lu, troops sent by other tribes on the grassland served as the vanguard. They did not have firearms, so the war with King Buyu Lu could only rely on long bows and scimitars.  The Naiman tribe can also be said to be strong, so both sides suffered losses in the battle.  But Jamukha's army was several times larger than that of Buyulu Khan, so it was already destined to be Buyulu Khan's final defeat.  "Please let me know, Jamuhe wants to see you." After fighting several fierce battles with Bushilu Khan, Jamuhe saw that the escort army had been standing still. Now his coalition forces suffered heavy losses. Although his own tribe was not seriously damaged,  He was somewhat critical of Han Zhongwei's actions.  He did not dare to question Han Zhongwei, so he wanted to communicate with Du Gao.  "Zamukh Khan, please come in. The army commander invites you." "Brother Du, you are very carefree." Jamukha saw a table in front of Du Gao waiting for a good meal, and he was drinking there.  This is the front line, but there is no atmosphere of war in his military camp. It is all peaceful singing and dancing.  "There's nothing I can do about it. Shi Luhan of the Naiman tribe is no match for you. Even if I send troops, I have no chance." Du Gao smiled. This time the escort army was dispatched, but they could only  Seeing that he couldn't fight, he was extremely upset, but the prince had a destiny and he had to obey.  "Now the Naiman tribe's army of Shilu Khan has been basically crippled, and my army has also suffered heavy losses. To deal with Taiyang Khan, you will need your escort to help." Jamuka came here this time to think about it.  The guards were asked to send troops, but he did not dare to ask Han Zhongwei for help, so he specifically came to ask Du Gao.  "How many troops do you have now?" Du Gao asked.  "There are still one hundred thousand." Jamuka said. The combined army of each tribe had 120,000, plus his own army of 30,000, for a total of 150,000. However, after the battle with Shilu Khan, his army was reduced to 150,000.  Only 100,000 were left, a total loss of 50,000.  Taiyang Khan was three points stronger than Buyulu Khan. Although his army still had 100,000 troops, it had become a tired army. To defeat Taiyang Khan, he might lose more than 50,000 troops.  "That's enough to deal with the sun." Du Gao said with a smile. The reason why the more than 20,000 troops of the escort army are stationed here is mainly to prevent Jamuka from defeating him. Unless he is defeated, it is impossible for the escort army to be dispatched.  .  "But in that case, maybe my army will be completely lost. Therefore, brother Du, you must send troops to help me." Jamukha sighed.  "Zamuka, you are wrong. In fact, I am helping you now." Du Gao shook his head.  "Brother Du, you are not confused, are you? Do you still call me helping me?" Jamukha was dumbfounded. He did not send troops to help. He saw that he suffered heavy losses and did not help me. Is this called helping?  "Zamuka, you only saw the superficial phenomenon. If you think about it carefully, you will think that I am right." Du Gao smiled.  Seeing that Jamuka was puzzled, Du Gao had to explain patiently: "Do you have more troops from your own tribe or from other tribes?" "Of course there are more people from other tribes." Jamuka said in confusion.  "Isn't this enough? Although you have become an actual Mongol Khan now, you actually don't have many troops of your own. Without the assistance of our escorts, do you think your Mongol Khan can be stable?" Du  Gao asked again.  "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult."Jamukha had to admit that Du Gao did have some truth in what he said. Without the help of the guards and the firearms of King Xia, maybe he would be like Temujin now, like a bereaved dog. "So with Naiman  The first battle between the two armies is the time to test the power of you, the Mongol Khan.  "Du Gao said with a half-smile. "But after this battle, the vitality of the tribe on my grassland was seriously damaged.  "Zhamuka has somewhat understood. At such a critical moment, you can see whether the tribes are loyal to you and will die for you. Of course, they are also loyal to your tribe. "It doesn't matter, as long as your tribe has no losses.  That¡¯s it.  " Du Gao laughed, and then continued, "Perhaps after this battle, you can truly sit firmly, and after you go back, you can ask other tribes to hand over part of their troops to you, and then you can use me to protect the third army.  Aren¡¯t you the one who will have the final say on the training methods of the Second Army in the future on the Mongolian grasslands?  " "So King Xia really has good intentions?  "Zamuka felt something was wrong, but he couldn't remember it for the moment. "Yes, it would be great if you could understand the prince's hard work.  Since the Naiman tribe is going to be attacked this time, it must be won in one battle without leaving any further trouble. The brothers Lu Han and Taiyang Khan and their relatives must be killed. Although the Naiman tribe is in the grassland,  The pasture here is not only large, but also rich in water and grass. It will be a good place for you to reward your men in the future.  "Du Gao smiled. "Thank you, Brother Du, for your advice.  " It wasn't until Jamuka came out that he forgot to ask Du Gao a question. Even if his troops were not lost, he could still train them by guarding the Second Army, and his status as the Mongolian Khan would still be unbreakable. But no matter what,  , Jamukha will not go to Han Zhongwei to discuss sending troops again. This is originally an internal matter within the grassland. If everything depends on outsiders, maybe as Du Gao said, will his position as Mongol Khan be secure?  Moreover, this time the troops of other tribes were charging forward, and the troops of their own tribe only needed to hold down their positions at the back. The losses were negligible. The vanguard troops of the combined army of the tribes in the grassland went west of the Kerulen River.  After Saali passed away, he met the Naiman sentinels. The Naiman sentinels were shocked. Not long ago, the coalition army had just eliminated Buyulu Khan. Could it be that now they are coming to attack Taiyang Khan again?  After receiving Khan's message, Jamuhe took advantage of the victory and began to attack himself again after destroying Sushilu Khan. The panicked Taiyang Khan immediately attacked his son Gu Chulu and his general Huolisu.  Bie Chizhao came to discuss countermeasures. "Father Khan, Jamuka is bullying people too much. We are a barbarian tribe with a large number of people, and we are not a character like Bu Yulu. If they really dare to attack, let them come back without any return."  .  "Gu Chulu said loudly. He wanted to send troops to assist Jamukha when he attacked Buyulu Khan, his uncle. After all, Jamukha was an outsider. But Taiyang Khan insisted on not sending troops at that time, and wanted to take advantage of him.  What a good thing it is now. He has finished taking care of Luhan, and now he has his hands free to take care of himself again. "Yes, Khan, Jamukha is already a tired man, how dare he come to stroke our tiger's beard again?  He is really impatient, so I think I should give him a blow in the head and let him experience the power of a real Naiman tribe warrior.  "Huali Subie Chili supported Gu Chulu. "Can we defeat Jamuka?  "This is what Taiyang Khan is most worried about. Jamukha wiped out Bushilu Khan with a wave of his hand, which made him feel fearful. "If Jamukha rests for several months, the outcome may be unpredictable, but now he ignores fatigue.  , immediately launched an attack, I think he is suicidal.  "Gu Chulu said very firmly, as if as soon as the Naiman army attacks, Jamuka will be defeated like a mountain. "But I heard that Jamuka is now colluding with the Xixia people. This time the Xixia people will  Wouldn't they also send out troops?  "Taiyang Khan is still a little hesitant. Jamukha can drive Temujin out, how can he deal with it so easily. "Father Khan, are you even afraid of the Xixia people now?  "There was a look of disdain in Guchulu's eyes. Father Khan is really old. He worries about everything and is afraid of everything. If this continues, the Naiman tribe may be ruined in his hands. "Great Khan, Guchulu said.  That's right, Xixia people are vulnerable, we don't need to care about them at all.  "Huoli Subiechi is also dissatisfied with Taiyang Khan. No matter how powerful the eagle is, it will never become a true hero if it can't soar in the sky. There are already a lot of Taiyang Khan now.  He didn't fly in the sky in those years. Now, he just wants to guard half of the territory of the Naiman tribe. At most, he can think of expanding the territory of Busulu Khan. As for the tribes on the Mongolian grassland, he has no courage to offend them.  "Then tell me, why did Jamukha kill Temujin of the Begging Department?"Have to run away with your head in your hands?  Why would Buyulu be killed by Jamuka and his clan be wiped out?  Why do so many tribes on the Mongolian grasslands bow to him?  " Taiyang Khan kept asking questions. "That's because they haven't met any real warriors. How can those Mongols be my rivals from the barbarians?  If Father Khan hadn't been so cautious, I'm afraid you would have become the Great Khan of Mongolia by now.  "Guchulu said dissatisfied. "Although I am a warrior of the Man tribe who is brave and invincible, you have all seen Buyulu's fate. This victory is easy to say, but if you lose, Buyulu will learn from the past.  .  "Taiyang Khan has become more timid as he gets older, and has long lost the heroic spirit of the past. "Father Khan, how about this? You give me 50,000 soldiers and horses, and I will bring the head of Jamuka to you.  "Gu Chulu is very eager for a battle. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as Jamuka is defeated, maybe the entire Mongolian grassland will become the pasture of the Naiman tribe. By then, even if his father Khan wants to guard the current territory, he will  He can also show his talents on the Mongolian grasslands. "Huoli Subiechi, you are a brave general of my tribe and you are resourceful. This matter is related to the future and destiny of the barbarians. What do you think?"  "Taiyang Khan looked at Huoli Subiechi. In ancient times, Lu was so ambitious that he was worried. However, Huoli Subiechi was a general of the Naiman tribe. He had the most say in military operations. "Great Khan, I think  This time Gu Chulu was right. Although this battle is related to the fate of our Naiman tribe, it is also related to the fate of Jamuka.  Coupled with the fact that they were tired from coming a long way and had been fighting fiercely with Bu Yilu for the past few months, it was a God-given opportunity.  "Of course Huoli Subiechi supports Gu Chulu, and a battle with Jamuka is inevitable. In this case, it is better to fight early than to fight late. The current situation is extremely unfavorable to Jamuka, and now it is in the Naiman tribe.  If a war breaks out in the territory, the Naiman tribe will be able to defeat Jamuka in a single battle if they have the right time, the right location, and the right people.
