Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 191: The battle to lead the troops, the sweat enters Xiliang
The three of them were led to Genghis Khan's military camp.

"Father Khan!" Torre and Ogedai said together.

"Sweat!" Zhang Yong said.

After the three people came in, they first bowed to Genghis Khan. Wo Kuotai and Zhang Yong stood together, while Torre stood in the other direction.

"Well! You are here! Sit down, I have something to tell you." Genghis Khan waved his hand and motioned for the three of them to sit down first.

The three of them nodded and each found a place to sit down.

In fact, Zhang Yong had already revealed what happened today to Wo Kuotai in advance, so he knew what was going on. The only one who was kept in the dark was Tuo Lei.

Calculating carefully, I have secretly tricked Tuo Lei several times, but I have no choice. Everyone has his own master. If I don't harm you, you will punish me.

And the sword I forged is still in your waist!
"The thing is like this. Originally, I planned to wait until the end of this big hunt, then immediately lead troops to attack Lintao Mansion in the Jin Kingdom, and then fight all the way to Fengxiang Mansion.

Capture all the land west of Tongguan. I promised to reward Zhang Yong with these lands. As a member of our Golden Family and my son-in-law, he should have his own land. "Genghis Khan said.

"Father, I'm afraid your current body is not easy to lead the battle. How about we return to the grassland to recuperate for a while!" Tuo Lei said.

Let Zhang Yong occupy the entire Guanzhong area, and he felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

So he spoke directly and said that Genghis Khan was not in good health and should not start this war.

"Well! You and I want to go together. I also plan to go back to the grassland to recuperate for a while. After all, my army is fighting outside.

They have not returned to the grassland for several years, and they miss the desert grassland and the life of grazing. "

When Tuo Lei heard this, he looked happy. It was very good. As long as Zhang Yong was not allowed to gain territory, he felt very good.

"Father Khan! Your body is more important. Just take the army back to the Mongolian grassland to recuperate!"

"Yes! Dahan, your body is more important." Wo Kuotai and Zhang Yong also stood aside and agreed very cooperatively.

"Well! Since you all have this idea, then great! I will send the army back to the grassland to recuperate soon, but before that. I promised Zhang Yong, but I can't break my promise.

Although I cannot personally lead troops to help him attack here, I plan to leave some troops to help him attack Lintao Mansion and Fengxiang Mansion. "Genghis Khan said.

"Father! Your bravest son Tuo Lei is willing to take on this responsibility, so let me attack here!" Tuo Lei said.

He won't let this kid Zhang Yong get this land for no reason. After his father Khan leaves, he will find a way to deal with this bastard Zhang Yong.

Not only will I not give you this land, I will even take away your life. With the command of an army of [-] people, he can control Zhang Yong to the death.

If you want to build a breeding farm, I will requisition all the livestock in your breeding farm to use as military rations. I also want you to provide rations for the [-] troops, and I want your men to join the war.

If you kid can't get it out, you are disobeying the military order. I will pay you back exactly how you dealt with me.

Tuo Lei had even begun to fantasize about how he would deal with Zhang Yong when he was in charge of the army alone after his father left.

"Tou Lei, this time, you and I will return to the Mongolian headquarters. After all, you have inherited the entire Mongolian grassland.

We need to deal with things on the grassland. You are not suitable to lead the army this time. This time I plan to let Wokuotai come. "Genghis Khan said.

"Father! My brother Kuotai is your heir. Leave this kind of war to me! Let brother Kuotai follow you and learn the experience of running a country." Tuo Lei hurriedly said.

As expected, Father Khan valued Zhang Yong very much. This boy actually wanted to lead the army in Wo Kuotai. Tuo Lei's first thought was to stop this.

"Okay, stop talking. I have already decided on this matter. This time the troops in Zhang Yong's territory will assist Wo Kuotai in the battle. I plan to leave [-] troops for Wo Kuotai.

In addition to Wokuotai's 2 troops, I need to tow [-] troops from your headquarters to help Wokuotai. Everyone else will return to the Mongolian grassland to recuperate.

All these 3 people were commanded by Wokuotai and used to attack Lintao Prefecture. "Genghis Khan said.

"Why? Father Khan! Why do you want me to hand over the army to Wo Kuotai? If you want to attack Lintao Mansion, I can do it." Tuo Lei's face suddenly changed and he said.

He really didn't expect that not only would he fail to get the opportunity to lead the army, but he would instead hand over his troops to Wo Kuotai for use!
What is this called?
"It's only 2 people. The troops in the hands of your brothers combined are not as big as yours. It doesn't matter if you allocate an extra part to Ogedei.

Moreover, you committed a capital crime last time, and your brother Wo Kuotai did nothing to you out of consideration for brotherhood. Now you are asked to dedicate some of your troops to support Wo Kuotai, aren't you willing? "Genghis Khan said.

"Father Khan! But these troops were rewarded to me by you, and now you want to take them away? And if you attack Lintao Mansion, I can do it." Tuo Lei said slightly excitedly.

"You violated military law last time and disobeyed Ogedai's order. How can I let you lead the army alone again? I have never punished you for what happened before. After all, you violated military law, so I will fine you 2 soldiers. Hand over the military power." Genghis Khan said.

In fact, after summoning Zhang Yong, he also summoned his staff Yelu Chucai and asked for his opinion.

Yelu Chucai's answer was very simple, even more extreme than Zhang Yong's in the eyes of Genghis Khan.

Yelu Chucai directly suggested to General Genghis Khan.All the military power under Tuo Lei was taken away and handed over to Wo Kuotai's command. The vassal king cannot have too many troops. This is the biggest taboo!

If Ogedai is Genghis Khan's chosen successor, then the other princes must hand over their military power, allowing Ogedai to fully control all military power.

Since the next leader of the empire is Wo Kuotai, Tuo Lei's troops must be eliminated.

Genghis Khan did not adopt Yelu Chucai's extreme proposal.

After all, they are all his sons. Although Ogedai was chosen as the heir, Torre was also his son and would inherit part of the land and population.

Therefore, Zhang Yong's method is better, which is just to drag down the command authority of the 2-person army.

Afterwards, Yelu Chucai suggested to Genghis Khan that he could deprive him of his military power because he violated military orders by dragging mines last time.

Hence the drama today.

Seeing this situation, Tuo Lei gritted his teeth and said. :
"I know, Father Khan! I will hand over 2 troops to brother Wokuotai."

"Brother Tuolei! As a brother, I won't take your army in vain. Zhang Yong discovered a lot of gold mines in Xiliao. When they are mined, I will give you a batch of gold." Wo Kuotai said.

Zhang Yong taught him this trick, which made him even more exciting.

"Hmph! Father Khan! I'm going to deal with the handover of the army first." After Torre finished speaking, he turned around and left the military camp without waiting for Genghis Khan to respond.

He was afraid that if he stayed here any longer, he would pick up the knife and chop Zhang Yong and Wo Kuotai.

Genghis Khan didn't get angry about Tuo Lei's sudden departure. After all, anyone would be angry if this happened to him.

But Wokuotai proposed to give Tuo Lei some gold, which made him very happy.

"Well! It's right to give Torre some gold. At least it can calm his anger. Zhang Yong, Wo Kuotai, I will leave the army here to you." Genghis Khan said.

"Please feel free to sweat!" Zhang Yong said.

In fact, with his own hands, even if the whole army goes out to fight, it will only be more than 1 people. However, he can also invite reinforcements, that is, Chahan's Xixia army.

There are currently 80 million Xixia people under the leadership of Chahan and his son, and the Xixia army has tens of thousands of people. The Xixia people who had previously taken refuge with Genghis Khan.Basically, they gathered under Chahan's command.

It shouldn't be a big problem if Chahan comes with some support.

"Okay, you two tell me when you plan to march?" Genghis Khan asked.

His original plan was after the big hunt, but now that it has been handed over to Wo Guotai, I wonder if he will make changes?
"Father! I will go back and discuss this matter with Zhang Yong. After all, it is a war. I want to think twice before acting." Wo Kuotai said.

"Bhan! Let's go discuss it." Zhang Yong said from the side.

"Well! I still have to rest for half a month before I leave for the Mongolian grasslands. During this period, I also want to go to Zhang Yong's territory. There is no hurry about this. You can think about it slowly." Genghis Khan waved his hand and said. .

Then he waved his hand, indicating that Zhang Yong and Wo Kuotai could leave.

That night, in the tent of Wokuotai, the father-in-law and his father-in-law sat together and began to discuss.Wokuotai asked. "Tell me! Zhang Yong, when do you plan to start this battle and how do you plan to fight it?"

"Father-in-law! We cannot delay this battle for too long, so we will directly implement the Great Khan's previous plan to attack in the winter." Zhang Yong said.

According to Zhang Yong's intention, Lintao Mansion would be captured within a month by using a blitzkrieg during the winter.

This is Mongolia's best attack strategy, and it was also a decision made by Genghis Khan before.

Moreover, if they launch a war in winter, the Kingdom of Jin will not be able to provide effective support, as long as they capture this place quickly.

Because this matter cannot be postponed until spring or summer.

Next spring, I will be busy with spring planting. If I lead an army to fight, then the spring plowing will be wasted.

Moreover, if this land is cleared in spring and summer, there will not be enough food to feed the population.

Therefore, it is best to harvest the land in winter, and next spring, the three lands of Lintao Prefecture, Xiliang Prefecture, and Xining Prefecture can be farmed together.

"I think so too, so let's set a time for dispatching troops! Winter will completely enter in a month, and we will launch a surprise attack then." Wo Kuotai said.

"Well! Father-in-law! I can give you 1 reinforcements for this war." Zhang Yong said.

"Oh! I originally thought that your support of five thousand would be enough. After all, your people are very busy now." Wo Kuotai said.

"Father-in-law! You also know the situation on my side. I have just acquired my territory and there are not many troops I can trust.

Moreover, I was able to prevent unrest among the Xixia people in the territory and to guard against Tibet.

So this time, I will ask Chahan to come over to help. He owes me a favor. I will ask him to send out 1 people to help this time. "Zhang Yong said.

With the little army he has, he really can't find anyone to fight with now.

I had just won over these five thousand Han troops, and given each of them a wife, food, and meat.

Then take them to fight immediately. The soldiers' emotions will inevitably fluctuate, and they may even mutiny.

Zhang Yong planned to keep these 5000 men as a garrison and use them as defensive troops.

After Lintao Prefecture is defeated, some local troops will be recruited to form a field army, and then they will enter a defensive state and focus on development.

As for the herdsman cavalry army, Zhang Yong doesn't want to use it now.

Because they still need to guard Xining Prefecture, not only to deter the Tubo people, but also to deter the local Xixia people. Now they have more than 20 Xixia people under their control.

It is obviously unrealistic to take away all the troops, so the best reinforcements are from Chahan.

When they attacked Tubo before, Chahan didn't come because the other party was also very busy at that time.

And I really didn’t need help at that time.

But this time when troops were sent to attack the Lintao City of the Kingdom of Jin, he had to help.

Unknowingly, the number of favors Chahan owed him had grown to four, and he might even become his advantageous uncle.

"Well! The little army you have in your hands really cannot be moved. After all, we still have to protect the Xixia people from rebelling. In this case, let Chahan support the army." Wo Kuotai also nodded and said.

In fact, in Wo Kuotai's eyes, Zhang Yong's real military strength was five thousand, which was the five thousand herdsmen households that Genghis Khan had previously rewarded him.

In the eyes of Wo Kuotai, the five thousand newly recruited Han troops were just a bunch of civilians and could not form combat effectiveness at all. It was okay to let them handle logistics.

Chahan's Xixia army came over and was much more useful than them. Chahan sent 4 troops and [-] from his own side. A total of [-] people were enough to attack Lintao Prefecture.

According to the intelligence they collected during this period, Lintao Mansion suffered serious losses due to the attack by the Song Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom, and the city walls were damaged in many places.

There are still some remaining thunder tubes made by Zhang Yong, and there are still a lot of explosive packs. By then using trebuchets and thunder tubes, they should be able to capture this place quickly.

The two discussed some details again, and Zhang Yong got up and returned to his tent to rest.

A few days later, Genghis Khan issued an order to withdraw his troops in half a month, and the Mongolian army began to pack up and prepare to march to the grassland.

In the past few days, Genghis Khan's health has almost recovered, and he immediately rushed to Zhang Yong's Xining Mansion with a dozen cavalrymen and Wo Kuotai.

Before leaving, Genghis Khan planned to take a look at Zhang Yong's recent achievements.

Zhang Yong drove, pulling Genghis Khan and Ogedei father and son.

The remaining cavalry followed the off-road vehicle, and the group spent a day returning to Xiliang Mansion.

At this time, [-] Han people in Xiliang Prefecture had successfully settled here, and the local Xixia people also accepted these outsiders, but there were still some minor frictions from time to time.

"Father! It's great that you're okay." As soon as everyone entered the city, Tu Lanlun was already there to greet them at the city gate.

She was also very worried during this period. After all, it was her father who was seriously ill. She originally wanted to go with Zhang Yong to see him, but she had to take care of her just-born son.

So she had no choice but to stay in Xiliang Mansion. Fortunately, a few days later, Tu Lanlun received a reply from Zhang Yong, telling her that Genghis Khan was fine, and she felt relieved.

"Hahaha! My good daughter! I made you worry. I'm fine. I heard you gave birth to a son? Take me to see him quickly." Genghis Khan said.

"Well! I gave birth to a big fat son. Father, I will take you to have a look." Tu Lanlun nodded, and excitedly welcomed Zhang Yong, Genghis Khan and his party in.

Then he took Genghis Khan to the bedroom and showed him his youngest son, who was only a few months old.

"How many grandsons is this kid? I can't even remember.

But I always remember your name, Jochi!Because this name was given to you by Bortie. "Genghis Khan held Zhang Yong's eldest son Zhang Dingzhong in his arms, then raised him high and said.

The birth of this child alleviated Bortie's sadness to a certain extent.

"Wow! Wow! Wow!" It seemed that the person holding him was not his mother.

Zhang Dingzhong, who was still a baby, cried loudly and kept struggling. He stretched out his hands and looked at his mother.

It seems that he hopes that his mother can carry him over.

"Haha! This child cries loudly and vigorously. He is in good health. You will be able to grow up safely." Genghis Khan said with a smile.

"Hahaha! This kid is very energetic and in good health." Zhang Yong also said with a smile.

In this era, even children from princely and aristocratic families have a very high chance of dying in infancy.

Blessing a child to grow up safely to adulthood is the best blessing to the child.

However, my son has genes from modern people mixed in, and his disease resistance is much stronger than that of ancient people.

And I'm here!

"Father Khan! I will definitely raise him well so that he can become a good man like Brother Jochi and a brave general." Turan Lun said.

"Well! He is my grandson and will definitely become an excellent general." Genghis Khan smiled and returned the child to Turanlon.

That night, Genghis Khan stayed in Zhang Yong's house
