Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 32 Homesickness, sleepless nights

Seeing that he could not dissuade Genghis Khan by himself, Qiu Chuji asked Zhang Yong for help.

In the past few months, he, Zhang Yong and others have been walking together, and he has gotten to know Mr. Zhang somewhat, and he is quite kind-hearted.

He also had a deep understanding of the painful lives of the local people, so Qiu Chuji asked this person to help and persuade Genghis Khan to stop the killing.

At this time, Zhang Yong was a little confused, what's going on?I'm sitting here watching dancing, drinking wine and eating meat. Okay, please don't bring this matter to me, okay?
In the current state, if Genghis Khan is not killed, Mongolia will retreat from here. Once defeated, the entire Mongol Empire is at risk of collapse.Because Mongolia is a country that relies on war to make its fortune.

If foreign wars fail to yield gains, then the consumption of the war itself will bring about the collapse of the Mongol Empire.

In addition, the current Khwarezm is not powerless to resist!The country of Khwarezm is not centralized like the countries in the Central Plains, but is similar to the feudal system of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The princes and warlords were distributed in various places. When the war started, the princes and lords would bring their own troops and assemble according to the sultan's order, and then start the war.

Moreover, before this happened in Khwarezm, the old queen mother seized power from the Sultan, so the country could not form a unified force.

If in the early stages of the Mongol invasion, the previous Sultan could gather all the troops and start a war with Mongolia, there would still be a chance, but Khwarezm chose the stupidest strategy.

That is to order the lords and city lords from various places to bring the people into the city, then close the city gates, guard the city, and wait for the Mongols to retreat.

This is also the country of Khwarezm.The way they have dealt with nomadic attacks for thousands of years, before dealing with the Mongolian cavalry, the Khwarezm people were also dealing with the Kipchaks, who were also a nomadic people.When coming to plunder the territory of Khwarezm, just close the city gate.Then nomads like them cannot attack the city at all. As soon as the food and grass are cut off, they will retreat. But the Mongolian cavalry is obviously different.

After Genghis Khan led Mongolia to rise.The Mongols attacked the Jin Kingdom and captured the entire northern area of ​​the Jin Kingdom, gaining a large number of Han craftsmen.

The current Mongolian army is not helpless in attacking the city, and all the resistance forces are scattered.Each city had anywhere from a few thousand to tens of thousands of garrison troops.

That's why Genghis Khan was able to annihilate the entire main force of Khwarezm at such a fast speed. Therefore, the warlords in some places still have considerable combat effectiveness.

The entire Mongolian army had just suffered a defeat in the Battle of Balu Bay and lost a large number of soldiers. If it retreated at this time, it would be pursued by the Khwarezm army.

Any talented general would not choose to retreat or reduce killings at this time. Some things cannot be just sat down and talked about by both parties.

Now Khwarezm and Mongolia have become mortal enemies. Either you die or I die. This war is no longer a matter of not fighting.

So what can I say at this time?

If the new Sultan Zalandin is defeated and all the resistance forces in Khwarezm are completely wiped out, then at this time, Genghis Khan may be obedient, generously agree to withdraw his troops, and then reduce the killing.

"Master, I already know about this matter, but in my humble opinion, now is not the time to persuade the troops to withdraw or reduce killings. If the troops withdraw at this time, the Mongolian army will be at risk of defeat, and the entire Western Expedition will fall short." Zhang Yong euphemistically said. said.

"Mr. Zhang, by saving a life, you can also accumulate your moral virtues. You have also mistakenly entered the immortal cave. Didn't the immortals teach you to accumulate your moral virtues, do more good deeds, and do less evil?" Qiu Chuji heard from Zhang Yong. If so, he spoke angrily.

"Master, you are from outside the country, but I am not from outside the country. I did enter the cave of a god by mistake, but that god is not a Taoist god. If you want to persuade the Great Khan to withdraw his troops, you must stabilize the rear. , only by defeating all the resistance forces. If we withdraw our troops at this time, we will suffer a big defeat." Zhang Yong said.

Yelu Chucai was on the side and translated the entire conversation between the two to Genghis Khan.Hearing Zhang Yong's words, Genghis Khan nodded with great satisfaction. If he had waited until he eliminated all the resistance forces in the Khwarez Kingdom.

After eliminating the new Sultan Zalandin, there will naturally be less killing, because these people will be the people of Mongolia in the future, and will be the fiefdom of his eldest son and second son, but this is absolutely not possible at this time.

Forget it, you still have to stay here for more than half a year before leaving. After half a year, the resistance forces in Khwarezm should be almost wiped out, and Genghis Khan will listen to you by then.

Several other disciples of Qiu Chuji also hurriedly grabbed their master. At this time, they had just arrived at the Western Expedition Camp. It was really not the right time to persuade the Mongolian Khan to reduce his killings.

"Okay, don't say anything unhappy. Let's all drink and eat meat and watch the women dance." Genghis Khan waved his hand and said.

Seeing that Zhang Yong was unwilling to help, Qiu Chuji, a real person from Changchun, sighed helplessly and did not say a word during the dinner.

"Sweating! I heard that the Persian dancers in Khwarezm are quite beautiful. I wonder if I'm lucky enough to be able to watch them?" Zhang Yong asked.

Let’s talk about some entertaining topics at this time!It would be unsightly to mention some heavy things.

"Hahaha! Today you enjoy our Mongolian dance first. Another day I will ask the Khwarezm girls to come over and show you how to dance." Genghis Khan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Khan!" Zhang Yong said.

"Mr. Zhang, you have been living well here for a while. If you need anything, just tell me." Genghis Khan asked.

"Everything is fine, but I feel a little homesick. Sometimes I miss my family at night and can't sleep." Zhang Yong said in Mongolian.

Coming to this ancient society from modern times, I do feel a little homesick, but the facts have already happened, and I have no ability to make any changes, so I can only accept it.

"Oh! I understand, Mr. Zhang, you are homesick and can't sleep alone. It doesn't matter. I will let you sleep at night in the future." Genghis Khan said.

When a man can't sleep at night, doesn't he just miss his mother-in-law?Isn't it just that there is a lack of a woman?Is this asking for a woman for myself?

no problem!This kid just said that he wanted to see the Persian dancer dance, and Genghis Khan felt that he already knew what Zhang Yong wanted.

For the next time, everyone drank, ate meat, and enjoyed dancing. The banquet didn't disperse until midnight.

Zhang Yong returned to his tent. Just when he was about to take a rest, a group of Mongolian cavalry came to his tent.

"Mr. Zhang, the Great Khan ordered me to come and give you a Persian woman so that you can sleep well at night."

"." Zhang Yong.
