Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 41 Two Choices
Before launching the conquest of Khwarezm.Genghis Khan did not have a clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of his army.

He always thought that his army was slightly stronger than the Jin Kingdom and stronger than Xixia. Since he had never fought against the Song Dynasty, he didn't know, but the Song Dynasty had fought with the Jin Kingdom many times and could be based in the south for more than 100 years, so it should not be much different.

But since launching the Western Expedition, he has a clearer understanding of the strength of his Mongolian army.

Xiliao, known as the great power in the Western Regions, and Khwarazmo, the new overlord of the Western Regions, were simply ridiculously weak in front of his Mongolian cavalry.

Not to mention compared with the Jin Army and the Xixia Army, he had never seen an army with such a weak combat effectiveness. Some time ago.

Zhebie and Subotai brought him a battle report, which even made him a little unbelievable. The combat capability of the Kipchak army was also ridiculously weak.

Therefore, it seems that no army can defeat our own Mongolian army!
And what is the most important thing for the army to fight?It is morale. Every time before the Mongolian army goes to war, shamans or people from various sects will be invited to come to pray and bless the army to go smoothly.

The artifacts brought by Zhang Yong will undoubtedly greatly boost the morale of the Mongolian army. However, these artifacts have a time limit for use, so Genghis Khan now wants to end the Western Expedition quickly and then go to deal with Xixia and the Jin Kingdom.

After Zalandin is annihilated, he will leave part of the army to his eldest son and second son, letting them command the land of Xiliao and Khwarezm respectively.

Then lead the Mongolian army directly back to the Mongolian grassland, striving for the fastest speed.He destroyed Xixia and Jin to complete his two worries.

Xixia was destroyed because they had betrayed their trust many times and agreed to surrender to him, Genghis Khan, and become his right-hand man in the future, but they refused to obey his orders during the Western Expedition.

As for the Kingdom of Jin and Mongolia, they were feuding. He had always wanted to contact the Kingdom of Song in the south and join forces with the Kingdom of Song to attack the Kingdom of Jin from the north to the south.

By the way, let’s test the combat capabilities of the Song army again.

But since Zhang Yong appeared, he felt that he could change this strategy. The northern region of the Jin Kingdom was easily captured by Mongolia because most of the northern region was plains, which was suitable for cavalry to use once they reached the real Central Plains area.

There are all high-rise and strong walls, and the Mongolian army has no great capability at all. Instead, it has to rely on the local Han servant army to fight.

The Jin Kingdom established a solid defense line along the Yellow River to block the invasion of the Mongolian army, especially Tongguan, leaving the Mongolian army helpless.

In the past few days, he had privately chatted with Zhang Yong many times. From his conversations, Genghis Khan could be sure that this kid had the ability to break through Tongguan and even other similar fortified cities.

Sometimes you don't actually need to say it out loud, just some side glances. Genghis Khan can judge a person from your expression, tone, and demeanor.

When the time comes, I will take this boy directly to attack the Kingdom of Jin. When we get to the city gate, I will see how you, boy, can break through Tongguan's defense.

"Thank you Khan for the reward!" Zhang Yong said quickly.

"You don't need to be busy thanking me. These lands are still in the hands of the Jin people. You have to help me conquer them so that I can seal them to you." Genghis Khan said.

"How dare I not serve the Great Khan?" Zhang Yong said.

It seemed that Genghis Khan wanted to end the Western Expedition early and return to the Mongolian grassland because of his appearance. The purpose of his return was self-evident, and he wanted to take action against the Jin Kingdom and Xixia.According to the original historical trajectory, Genghis Khan should have returned from the Western Expedition two years later.

During this period, he even wanted to attack India. It was only because of the hot weather in India that the Mongol Khan chose to withdraw his troops.

Now that Zalandin is annihilated, maybe the Mongolian Khan will return to the grassland two years early.

"Very good! I'll make a deal with you here. As long as you help me capture Xixia and the Kingdom of Jin, I will reward you with the Guanzhong area and make you king, but I will also give you two choices." Genghis Khan He spoke.

What do the two options mean?What kind of medicine is this Mongolian Khan selling in his gourd?
"I wonder what choice the Khan is talking about?" Zhang Yong asked.

"When Yelu Chu just surrendered to me, he discussed some things with me, including the matter of being crowned king.

Yelu Chucai said that except for my son, no one can be king, including my relatives.

Otherwise, there will be great disaster, especially in the Central Plains region, but I really don't believe this. The Central Plains dynasties have been doing this for thousands of years, and I have never seen their dynasty last forever.

So I banned all my sons!If there is no country, then I will conquer the country for them and let them serve as Khan there, including some of my brothers, so I canonized the kings of the East Road and the kings of the West Road.

However, you are never my kin. If I make you a king, some of my generals will inevitably be dissatisfied, even if you are a messenger of gods, so I thought of a way, that is, to make you my kin. "Genghis Khan said.

If it weren't for his identity as the messenger of gods, Zhang Yong wouldn't be able to be crowned king. His identity as the messenger of gods is the most important thing.

What Zhang Yong brought could play a huge role in the future, which is why Genghis Khan made up his mind.

"What do you mean, Khan?" Zhang Yong asked cautiously, does this mean that he wants to adopt me as his adopted son?

"You come to be my son! That is to say, an adopted son, and then I will marry one of my daughters to you, so that you will become my relatives." Genghis Khan said.

She happened to have a daughter, and her husband died during the Western Expedition. The girl slaughtered all the people in the city in a rage, even pigs, dogs and livestock were not spared.

She is very similar to him in terms of personality. If Zhang Yong marries her, then this kid will also be controlled by his daughter in the future. His daughter of Genghis Khan is not a gentle and kind person.

As for being your own adopted son and marrying your own daughter, this is indeed against common sense among the Han people, but it is nothing here with Genghis Khan.

The Mongols don't do this. Genghis Khan's daughter can still marry his brother-in-law, and his son can inherit his father's wives and concubines.

"Of course, if you don't want to, there is a second option, but you still have to be my adopted son, but the wife can be changed. I know that you Han people want a perfect wife, so you can My heir, Ogedai, will choose one of his daughters to be his wife. So, will you choose to be my adopted son and then marry my daughter, or will you be my adopted son and then marry Ogedai’s daughter?” Genghis Khan asked road.
