Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 78: The Surviving Elephant Trainer (please read, please vote!)
After Wokuotai left, Zhang Yong ordered all the slaves and Mongolian soldiers to re-build a simple camp a few miles away from the original camp.

This time, the army of the Delhi Sultanate was completely defeated. If nothing unexpected happened, he and Ogedei would return to the army soon. Two months had passed, so there was no need to build something too good.

Just when the soldiers were in full swing and busy, a messenger ran up to Zhang Yong and said. :
"Master Military Advisor, we, we captured a live prisoner and a live elephant."

"Oh! Is there anyone alive? Or an elephant?" Zhang Yong turned his head and asked slightly surprised.

It’s a miracle that we survived the fire last night inside!Is it possible that there are really such lucky people?There's more than one.

"Master Military Advisor, there is a man and an elephant. According to him, he is the driver of the elephant.

In order to prevent the elephant from going crazy, I have ordered hundreds of soldiers to surround the elephant. If there is any abnormal movement, we will kill it immediately. "The Mongolian soldier said.

"Well! Instruct the brothers to keep an eye on the elephant and keep it away from the horses. As for the prisoner, bring him over and let me see them." Zhang Yong said.

The Mongolian soldier nodded, turned and left.Soon, a prisoner with a dark face and a miserable body was brought to Zhang Yong. He was covered in mud and looked like he ran out of the mire.

Then he was pressed down by several Mongolian soldiers with knives and knelt in front of Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong also called a translator from Khwarezm to come over and do the translation work.

"You ask, how did he survive? Tell me." Zhang Yong asked.

The translator from Khwarezm nodded and immediately translated Zhang Yong's words. After a while of chattering, the translator from Khwarezm nodded and turned to look at Zhang Yong.

"Master Military Advisor, he said that his elephant saved him when there was a fire last night. His elephant was not hit by the burning oil. The elephant took him to hide at a broken waterwheel. .

After the water tanker overturned, there was a lot of wet mud on the ground, and then they found a pothole underneath. He smeared the mud on himself and the elephant, and then hid under the pothole and escaped. One calamity. " said the Khwarezm translator.

The water tanker overturned, and some mud appeared on the ground. He smeared the mud on himself, and there was a pothole next to it?
Are there any suitable potholes around the Mongolian camp?
Wait, there seems to be a place for dumping all kinds of garbage. Because the Mongolian army has only camped here for a few days, it is not full.

Unexpectedly, this place actually saved this guy's life and an elephant.

Before the war started, Zhang Yong also thought about catching two elephants, transporting them across the river, showing them to Genghis Khan, and dedicating these big elephants to the Mongol Khan.

But after the war started, once the fire started, it was different.

No one dared to go in and get two live elephants out, as this might cause the soldiers of the Delhi Sultanate to rush out, so the matter was settled.

Unexpectedly, God opened his eyes and actually left one and a prisoner. Isn't this a coincidence?

"Now ask him if he is willing to bring his elephant to serve the Mongolian army?" Zhang Yong said.

The translator from Khwarezm nodded, turned to look at the prisoner, and heard another burst of jabbering language output.

The other party also started to answer in a gibberish voice.It can be said that this guy survived because of a lot of luck. Normally, he treats his elephant well, but at a critical moment, his elephant actually saved his life.

She took him to a safe place, covered her body with mud, and survived.

"Master Military Advisor, he said that he is willing to serve the Mongolian army, as long as his elephant and himself are not harmed. He is the driver of the elephant. Without him, the elephant will not obey other people's orders." Khwarazmo said the translator.

It was obvious that this guy wanted to survive, after last night's fire.

His loyalty to the Sultan has now been forgotten. Now he just wants to live, and he is not a believer in Allah, but a true local believer.

So who do you work for, not work?
"Well! Very good, ask him, can he completely control his elephant?" Zhang Yong said.

"Master Military Advisor, he said that he can completely control his elephant. The elephant obeys him very much. He has raised it since he was a child," the translator said.

"Oh! Ask him, can he train elephants?" Zhang Yong said.

The Khwarezm translator turned his head and jabbered again.

"Master Military Advisor, he said he can. He has been an elephant trainer for more than ten years, but it is very difficult to train elephants.

For things like elephants, it takes several years for a mother elephant to give birth to her calves, and it takes more than ten years for them to grow up. Suitable elephant soldiers must be trained from an early age to be obedient. " said the Khwarezm translator.

What the hell, after more than ten years of training, the day lilies have become cold, and the elephant soldiers are just like that.

These big guys have a deterrent effect, but when it comes to the battlefield, their combat effectiveness is not very good.

But dedicating the elephant to Genghis Khan should make him very happy. After all, no one would dislike such a big guy.

"Tell him that from today on, he will be a member of the Mongolian army. Take him down, let him clean himself, and then give him something to eat. Ask his elephant what he eats and give it to him. The elephant prepares some food.

Let him calm his elephant, and then bring him to see us after Master Wokuotai comes back. "Zhang Yong said.

The captured soldiers of the Delhi Sultanate were overjoyed when they heard that they could survive and become a member of the Mongolian army. They kowtowed to Zhang Yong and praised him in various ways.

Zhang Yong waved his hand, and several Mongolian soldiers took the prisoner away.

At noon that day, Wokuotai came back with a large team of people and picked up all the valuables such as gold and silver jewelry, spices, cloth, pearls and agate that had been discarded before.

There were more than 70 cartloads of treasures, and behind the Mongolian army were some Delhi Sultanate soldiers wearing ordinary civilian clothes, and a large amount of logistical baggage.

"Zhang Yong, you kid doesn't know. I found their logistics troops behind the scenes. There were about 3000 people, all of them infantrymen and civilians. They brought a lot of logistics equipment with them. I intercepted them all and even arrested them. More than 3000 slaves." As soon as Wo Kuotai got off his horse, he patted Zhang Yong on the shoulder and said.
