Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 66: The slightly immature Batu blackmails all the city lords

Among the third-generation descendants of Genghis Khan, this one is the strongest in terms of comprehensive personal ability, and he has a profound influence on the Russians.

Later, the flag of Tsarist Russia was a double-headed eagle. One side of the double-headed eagle represented the Eastern Roman Empire, and the other side represented the Golden Horde. Tsarist Russia always regarded itself as the successor of the Golden Horde. (If it hadn’t been for the emergence of the Golden Horde, today’s Russia wouldn’t even be possible.)
Unexpectedly, he was sent to Wokuotai's camp at this time.

It's a bit interesting. Jochi did this because he wanted to show his attitude to his brother Ogedai. I will hand over my best son to you to represent my support for you and become the new Great Khan of Mongolia.

That's why Ogedai was so happy after knowing that Batu was coming, because he understood that after his brother Chagatai, his eldest brother was also on his side.

Soon, Wokuotai led a slightly immature young man into the military tent. This was an immature boy who was more than seven feet tall and looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old.

Although he was still very young, Batu was already well-known among Mongolian princes and many nobles.

After Genghis Khan confirmed the division of land for his four sons.Batu followed his mother and other brothers and sisters to his father's territory.

"Hahaha! Come on, Batu, get to know the elders. These are the heads of thousands of households under my command. Sitting over there is Mr. Zhang Yong, the messenger of God and our military advisor on this trip.

Everyone, this is my nephew Batu. He is my eldest brother’s son. Although he is not the eldest son, he is the best among all the sons. Please take care of him in the future. "Wokuotai said.

As soon as Batu entered the camp, he was warmly received by Ogedai, which even made him a little flattered.

"I am Batu. This time, I am here to serve you, Uncle Wokuotai, on my father's orders. Please feel free to order me and just treat me as an ordinary centurion under your command." Batu He spoke.

On the grassland, your origin represents a kind of recognition of status, and your own ability is also a kind of recognition. Batu, who has just arrived at Wokuotai Military Camp, seems neither humble nor arrogant, and is also very polite to the generals.

It is a very humble sign for them to think of themselves as an ordinary centurion.

"Well! You should stay with the generals in the future and study hard, especially Mr. Zhang, the military advisor. He can teach you more." Wo Kuotai patted his nephew on the shoulder and said.

"Yes, Uncle Wokuotai. Mr. Zhang hopes that Batu will stay with you and learn more. If there is anything, please ask Batu to complete it." Batu came to Zhang Yong and said He performed the one-handed prairie etiquette and said.

His father, Jochi, gave him many warnings before setting off, telling him that he must have a good relationship with Zhang Yong, and Batu naturally refused to neglect him.

For Zhang Yong, his attitude is naturally very good.

"You're welcome! We happened to be discussing something. You should sit down and listen together!" Zhang Yong smiled and said.

Batu nodded, but did not sit down. Instead, he stood beside Wo Kuotai. He did not have any military merit or any position. He could not sit in front of the generals.

It is already a great honor to have him listen in this military tent.

Regarding Batu's approach, all the heads of thousands of households present nodded with great satisfaction. This young man won some respect from them.

"Okay, let's continue talking about business! Zhang Yong, what you just wanted to say, please continue talking!" Wo Kuotai said.

"Well! General Ogedai, it has been a month since we entered the Delhi Sultanate. Through some scouts' investigations in the past few days, the Delhi Sultanate should have responded." Zhang Yong said. "Do you mean they will gather a large army to deal with us?" Wo Kuotai asked.

If that's the case, that's fine.

Although they only number 2, 5000 soldiers and horses were previously allocated to escort the slaves, but now these 5000 soldiers and horses have returned.

Now 2 soldiers and horses are gathered together, and because of the last siege and plunder, the morale of all the soldiers is very high. Even if the Delhi Sultanate gathers 10 troops, he is not afraid.

As long as he chooses a favorable battlefield, he can kill the army of the Delhi Sultanate, not to mention.Mr. Zhang also brought a large amount of gasoline.As long as they reach the plains, once this kind of thing catches fire, no matter how many people there are in the Delhi Sultanate, they won't be enough to die.

"Before we set off, I made a sincere statement to Genghis Khan. This time, I would first send an envoy to the Delhi Sultanate to ask their Sultan to donate gold and silver. Finally, the Great Khan asked Lord Ogodei to lead 2 troops. .

Because the Great Khan said that if the enemy is not beaten, they will not submit obediently. Now we have captured Muhalla City and massacred the city, which has greatly deterred the Delhi Sultanate.

I have a suggestion, Lord Ogedai, you don’t actually need to decide where to attack, we just need to send envoys.

Send envoys to these cities and ask them to hand over military rations and money. If they agree, we will not attack their cities. I think they will comply.

We sent envoys to all the nearby cities to persuade them to surrender. As long as they had money and military rations, not to mention the quantity, we would take whatever they gave us and leave. "Zhang Yong said.

If we send troops now, we can only capture one or two cities and call it a day. Intimidation and sending envoys are the most effective method. Anyone who is not a fool should understand the terror of the Mongolian army by now.

The city lords in Delhi would be very happy to spend some money to send away these plague gods and keep their cities and territories.

"I think it's feasible. If we attack the city now, the most we can do is plunder one or two small cities. The gain outweighs the loss. It's better to send a large number of envoys to nearby cities to lobby." Wo Kuotai said with great agreement.

He also quite agrees with Zhang Yong's statement. Only in this way can the benefits of their trip be maximized.

This is what the Han people call it, subduing the enemy without fighting, right?

"It's not enough to just send one or two envoys. Sir Wo Kuotai, each envoy should be followed by about 1000 cavalry before going. Only in this way can the best effect be achieved." Zhang Yong said.

Anyway, it would be idle to let these Mongolian troops idle in the city. It is better to go with the envoy. There will be fewer people, they will move very fast, and with the army there, they will be more intimidating.

As for the danger, haha!

As long as you don't attack the city, there is no danger.

The city leaders in Delhi dared to send out their own troops to fight in the field. A thousand Mongolian cavalry was enough to teach them how to behave as tens of thousands of infantrymen.
