As a tyrant who dominated the world, as a nomadic leader who was born with a love of raiding, Temujin did not have much affection for the sister of his compatriot, at least not as deeply as he now appeared.
The reason why Temujin didn't ask about the battle situation, but first chatted with Yang Shilang about family life, was just to test his psychology and see if this Han man still had feelings for him.
If he still loves his family, he shouldn't be able to fool himself.
After seeing Yang Shilang's performance, the only remaining suspicion in Tiemu's heart vanished, and he stroked his beard and asked, "Murong Ke's martial arts are not as good as yours, why didn't he leave you in Mulu City and let you report the news?"
"Back to the Great Khan, Murong Ke was wounded by the arrows of the Great Xia Army and was unable to move, so he sent Weichen to welcome the Great Khan into the city."
Yang Shilang replied with no flaws.
Tan Daoji took a step forward and asked Angelica and a few other scouts: "Have you ever been to spy near Mulu City?"
Angelica hurriedly replied: "Back to General Tan's words, the villain and others have been approaching Mulu City for two or three miles to spy on the military situation, only to see the city is full of fire, thick smoke is billowing, and the crying is shaking the sky, and the people are shouting King Xiang and Yafu crying. ” Temujin shrugged and moved, raised his eyebrows and said: "Okay, it seems that God has helped me Dayuan, as long as I can loot the materials of Great Xia from Mulu City, I can recruit troops and buy horses, and make a comeback." ” Next to him, a tall man with a height of eight feet and five inches is the general of the Northern Xiongnu Shan Yu Dangqu sent by the army, named Xulu Quan, and also the right virtuous king of the Northern Xiongnu, after listening to the dialogue between Temujin and Yang Shilang, he shouted impatiently: "Since Xiang Yu and Lu Wang are dead, what are we waiting for, don't take advantage of the Han army to enter the city to loot Temujin quickly, let's say okay, half of the looted materials are in the family." ” Before the words fell, Xuluquan's legs were clamped violently on the war horse under his crotch, and the horsewhip in his hand pointed eastward: "The soldiers follow me into the city."
Temujin stayed in the Northern Xiongnu for more than two years, and although he won the trust of Dangqu, he still had his own ghosts.
Dangqu wanted to use Temujin to recruit the old tribe, expand the number of tribes, and increase strength.
After Temujin fled to the shore of the Black Sea, there were only Tan Daoji and more than 2,000 soldiers left, and later more than 30,000 people were gathered, but compared to Dangqu, which had a population of 500,000 and 70,000 cavalry, it was far from being able to compete.
Dangqu had no ability, the ruling Northern Xiongnu could not develop at all, and none of the four empires could afford to provoke them, so they could only hide in the grasslands near the Black Sea to graze and plunder the weak tribes.
Except for horses, there is no shortage of other supplies.
After Temujin arrived in the Northern Xiongnu, he was commensurate with his brother to Dangqu, and led the cavalry of the Northern Xiongnu to attack the surrounding small tribes, and fought more than ten battles in just a few years.
In the past two years, 40,000 or 50,000 Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang and other former subjects of the Great Yuan Empire went to the Black Sea to defect to Temujin, so that Temujin's subordinates gathered nearly 10,000 henchmen.
But relying on this insignificant soldier to make a comeback is no different from a fool's dream, so Temujin knew that he had to rely on the power of the canal.
Since Temujin came to the Northern Xiongnu two years ago, he has robbed more wealth and population for himself than he has gained in half his life.
He was also afraid that Temujin would one day occupy the magpie's nest and replace him, so every time he gave Temujin soldiers and horses, he would be accompanied by a cronie.
The Northern Xiongnu lacked iron, crossbow arrows, and armor, and did not gain much from destroying small tribes, so Dangqu and Temujin set their sights on the Great Xia Kingdom, which was attacked by the Han Dynasty. decided to take advantage of Xiang Yu's internal and external troubles to rebel against Murong Ke, grab food before the Han army arrived, and rush into Mulu City to plunder once.
Although the Han army was surging, Temujin and Dangqu also knew that without the frontal pressure of the Han army, the Huns alone would not be able to break through Mulu City.
In addition to Xiang Yu's courage and good fighting, there are still sixty or seventy thousand troops in the Great Xia Kingdom, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if it is stormy, it is not something that the Northern Xiongnu can bully, and can only take advantage of the fire before the Han army is about to enter the city.
In the past, when the canal was allocated to Temujin about 20,000 soldiers and horses, this time he directly gave Temujin 40,000 cavalry, more than half of the Northern Xiongnu's troops, and there were 20,000 horses and 2,000 carriages to accompany him.
Therefore, Dangqu did not dare to be careless, and sent the right sage king Xuluquan, who was second only to himself in the Northern Xiongnu, to accompany him and control Temujin.
At this moment, when he heard that Xiang Yu and Lu Wang were dead, he immediately led his troops to charge, rolled up the sand and dust in the sky, and charged towards Mulu City.
Temujin was afraid that he would be taken advantage of by the Void Authority, and he would not be able to get rid of the property as his own, so he could only turn over and get on his horse, and instructed Kublai Khan, Tan Daoji, and Yang Shilang: "Hurry up and lead the soldiers to surpass the Void Authority, and don't let his own soldiers occupy the palace, treasury, and granary of the Great Xia Palace."
Although he said that he would divide the supplies equally, if he was one step ahead, it would be good to be able to give us one-fifth."
"If you don't believe in your words, I'll cut off his head first."
Kublai Khan was in a hurry, turned on his horse, brandished his scimitar and charged first: "The soldiers come with me, and go into the city with all your strength to rob treasures, food, and women."
For a while, the sound of horses' hooves was loud, and Temujin and his troops were not to be outdone, and under the leadership of Kublai Khan, they soon surpassed the Northern Xiongnu cavalry led by Xuluquan, rolled up the dust, and slaughtered Mulu City like an overwhelming place.
More than an hour later, the sunset was gradually slanting, and the sun was approaching dusk, and more than 50,000 Hun cavalry also came outside Mulu City.
"Phew" Temujin took the reins of his horse, raised his eyes and looked out, only to see the smoke billowing in the city of Mulu, the sound of mourning and crying endlessly, the city gate was wide open, the flags on the city wall were crooked, there was not a single soldier to defend, and the people in the city were running in panic, and there was a scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping.
Tan Daoji reined in beside Temujin and said: "Great Khan, although Xiang Yu and Lü Wang are dead, in order to prevent the Han army from coming to block our army in the city, it is better to discuss with Xulu Quan, leave 20,000 soldiers and horses to guard the west gate, and the others enter the city to plunder."
How is the Great Khan willing?"
Taking advantage of Temujin's slowdown, Xuluquan once again led the cavalry of the Northern Huns to overtake Temujin, and scoffed at Temujin's words: "Let Temujin stay outside and guard it, and wait for me to grab the supplies and come out and divide him in half."
Seeing that the cavalry of the Northern Xiongnu led by Xuluquan swarming from the south gate of Mulu City, Temujin had no choice but to order the whole army to enter the city, and Kublai Khan took the lead in opening the way, leaving Tan Daoji to retreat, and poured into Mulu City from the west gate. t1706231537:
