The decisive battle with Kuoyitian
Temujin won many battles. In the first battle, Naiman won a complete victory, and his alliance with the Kele tribe became more stable——Of course this It is directly related to his repaying evil with kindness and saving Wang Khan in critical moments.
It can be said that his territory of power seems to cover the entire Mongolian grassland.
But in fact, he still has a long way to go.
As far as the pure Mongolian tribes are concerned, there is far from a situation of unanimous support for him.
Not only did these Mongolian tribes not unanimously support him, but some of them also united to elect a khan to fight against him.
Yes, the khan who fought against Temujin was Jamukha.
In the past, it was Temujin Anda, and today Temujin’s biggest opponent.
As mentioned before, Jamukha cannot be the character flaw of the Mongolian Khan: he is fickle, scheming, treacherous, ambitious but lacks the perseverance to stick to the end.
It was he who almost caused a complete break between Temujin and King Kelibu Khan.
Now, contrary to his wishes, Wang Khan and Temujin have reconciled again, and the two forces have become a rope again, and they have jointly ruled the grassland.
Faced with this situation, Zamuhe organized a real tribal alliance, hoping to compete with the alliance of Temujin and Wang Khan.
This alliance organized by Jamuka included most of the Mongolian tribes except those who defected to Temujin.
Also participating in this alliance are:
The Tatars of the Lower Kherlen River Basin;
The Merqi of the Lower Selenga River Basin
The Taichiwu people in the Lower Onan River Basin;
The Onyichi forest hunters on the west bank of Lake Baikal;
Be friendly with these tribes There are many small tribes in the country, such as the Hedajin tribe, the Salezhiwuti tribe, the Duoerbian tribe, the Yiqilesi tribe, the Huoluo Cisi tribe, and even the Hongjila tribe who live near Yuuer Lake.
The Hongjira tribe was the tribe to which Temujin’s parents-in-law belonged, and they actually joined Jamuka’s alliance.
In addition, some Naiman people in western Mongolia also participated in this alliance.
The people who assisted Jamuhe in leading this alliance were Temujin’s old enemies. They were:
Tuohei Toa, the leader of the Merqi Tribe,
Talihutai, the leader of the Taichiwu tribe,
Huduhebieqi, the leader of the Oyishiti tribe,
was one of the two barbarians who had competed with Temujin not long ago. Not also rude and black.
From the above composition of this alliance, it can be seen that this alliance is a huge alliance with members from all over Mongolia:
In the east, there is the Tatar camp on the slopes of Xing'an Mountains. There are people from the Taiga Forest area in the north, and there are Naiman people camped in the Altai Mountains in the west.
The year is 1201 AD.
The various ministries of the alliance met at the source of the Alehui River and then set off from there to the Ergun River. They publicly promoted Zhamuhe as Khan at the confluence of Gan River and Ergun River, named Gur Khan. "Guer Khan" can be translated as "powerful Khan, sweat of all sweats" in Mongolian.
Immediately afterwards, they held religious ceremonies according to the shamanistic etiquette book. The leaders of the alliance beheaded a stallion and a young horse, and swore an oath of alliance: "If there are leakers or double-minded people among us, they will end up like this decadent man who broke a tree!"
After the oath, he stepped on the bank and let the earth collapse into the river; he chopped down the wood with his knife, causing the broken leaves to fall to the ground.
Then they split up and prepared to join forces to attack Temujin.
But they failed to keep the secret. When they were preparing separately, a man named Huoligai from the Huoluo Cisi Department immediately went to inform Temujin.
At that time, Temujin was stationed in Gulianlegu at the foothills of Mount Burhan in the upper reaches of the Kherulun River.
Huo Lijie galloped all the way, passing by a camp in the Taichiwu tribe, where he changed horses and continued on his way. Later, he encountered an army that came to deliver white tents to Xinli Gurhan. Thankfully, he deftly avoided this army and was not caught by them. In this way, he arrived at Temujin's camp safely.
Temujin immediately asked for help from King Khan of Kelibu. As soon as Wang Khan heard about the change, he immediately raised his troops to join Temujin, and then the two armies went down the Kerulen River.
Temujin sent Altan, Kuchar and his uncle Dalitai as the vanguard to scout and open the way ahead. Wang Khan also sent his son Sangkun, his brother Zhahe Ganbu and general Bilgebeq as the vanguard.
Temujin and Wang Khan's troops successfully arrived at the Chihuerhu Mountains, Chekecher Mountains and Kuoyitian.
This area is located between Kuolian Lake and Yuyuer Lake, south of the mouth of the Kullen River where it flows into Kuolian Lake. There are swamps around Kuolian Lake. The lake is connected to the Ergun River by a channel. This channel is usually dry, and there is water in the channel only during the high water season.
At this time, Zhamuhe's army went up the Ergun River and arrived in this area. Leading the way was the main member of the alliance:
Tai Chi The leader of the Wu tribe, Tali Hutai;
The leader of the Naiman tribe, Buyi Luhei;
The son of Tuohei Tuoa, the leader of the Merqi tribe, suddenly became bald;
The leaders of the Wei tribe suddenly joined forces and begged.
They surrounded Khan Jamukha, who was opposed to Temujin, and came fiercely.
When they came to the Kuolian Lake plain area to face Temujin and Wang Khan's troops, it was already sunset and dusk. Although the forward troops on both sides clamored for an immediate fight, they finally agreed to fight the next day.
At dawn the next day, the two armies faced each other.
Buyiluhei and Huduhebieqi were shamans, and they were said to be able to use magic to make wind and rain. The two of them brought a basin of clean water, took out a few stones from their arms, threw them into the water, looked into the sky, prayed, and recited the incantation.
In an instant, there was a violent storm, the sky was dark, the ground was dark, and rain and snow fell from the sky.
They originally wanted to use this to charm Temujin and Wang Khan's troops, and then take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill them. Unexpectedly, the wind changed, and the rain and snow flew with them, hitting them in the opposite direction. Muhe's army and horses attacked.
As soon as Temujin and Wang Khan saw it, they took advantage of the dark sky and the lack of light from the sun and moon to rush over with their troops.
Under the attack of the opponent's army and the angry punishment of God, Zhamuhe's army suddenly became confused, fled in a hurry, trampled on each other, did not know the path in the darkness, and fell into the deep stream. countless. The blizzard became more and more fierce, and many of Zhamuhe's troops who did not die in the rebellion had their hands and feet frozen stiff and lay on the ground unable to move.
After a crushing defeat, Zhamuhe's coalition army collapsed and fell apart. Those who survived fled for their lives. The Naiman people fled to the Altai Mountains, the Onyizi people fled to the forest area near Lake Baikal, the Merqi people fled to the Lower Seleng River Basin, the Taichiwu people fled to the Lower Onan River Basin, and Zhamuhe returned. Its Ergun River basin camp. As an out-and-out Mongolian on the grassland, Zhamuhe did not hesitate to take advantage of the Allied forces' suffering during the retreat and plunder the Allied forces who had publicly recommended him as Gur Khan. This irrational and crazy behavior caused him to lose his last supporter, and his newly ascended throne also collapsed because of this.
Only one day passed from the moment the oath was made to the moment it fell apart.
This has to be said to be very ironic.
Loyalty
After Temujin and Wang Khan jointly defeated Jamuhe's coalition forces, they split up. Wang Khan continued to pursue Jamuhe along the Ergun River. Temujin followed the Onan River to pursue the Taichiwu people.
The two leaders of the Taichiwu army, Awu Chubater and Huodun Orchang, led their troops across the Onan River and prepared for a decisive battle on the other side.
Temujin marched his army across the river and fought fiercely until dusk, with no winner or loser. It was already dark, so the two armies stopped fighting and camped opposite each other on the battlefield.
In this fierce battle, Temujin was hit by an arrow in the neck and was bleeding. He endured severe pain and persisted in fighting the Taichiwu people until dark.
When I returned to the camp, I was exhausted and passed out on the bed. His trusted lieutenant, Zermei, stood by his side to take care of him.
According to the method of the Mongolian shaman, Zhelmei personally sucked out the blood from Temujin's wound. After all the poisonous blood was drained, he still sat beside Temujin alone late at night. He was one of Temujin's most trusted people. The most important reason why he wanted to suck out the blood from Temujin's wound with his mouth was because he was afraid that the wound infection would endanger Temujin's life.
After midnight, Temujin slowly woke up and said vaguely:
"My blood has dried up and I am very thirsty!"
To You know, in the Chinese army camp at this time, there is nothing even liquid, let alone water.
As soon as Zhelemei heard that Temujin was thirsty, he hurriedly took off his hat, boots and clothes, wearing only a pair of shorts, and walked naked into the stalemate enemy camp as if nothing had happened.
He groped in the Taichiwu people's vehicles to find horse milk, the herdsmen's favorite drink. But unfortunately, after searching for a long time, I found nothing. Because when the Taichiwu people fled, they didn't have time to take away the mares and let them run away without milking the horses.
But he found a bucket of curds in a car and took it back.
Fortunately, he was not discovered by the enemy whether he was heading towards the enemy camp or returning from the enemy camp. After returning to the camp, he found some water, diluted the curd and mixed it thoroughly. Feed Temujin one bite at a time with his own hands.
After Temujin took a few sips of milk, he said vaguely: "My heart is relieved and my eyes are bright!"
After saying that, he slowly sat up.
At this time, the sky was already twilight. Temujin opened his eyes and saw many blood clots on the ground around him, so he asked Lemi what was going on. Zhelime then told the truth how he personally sucked the blood from Temujin's wound and spit it out, and how he later walked naked into the enemy camp to find curdled milk.
After hearing this, Temujin asked: "I was lying on the ground and couldn't get up. Why did you run into the enemy camp naked? If you were captured, wouldn't you tell me about my situation?"< /p>
"I thought at that time," Zhelemei replied calmly, "I ran into the enemy camp naked. If I was captured, I would say to them: 'I planned to surrender to you, but others discovered it. , arrested me, wanted to kill me, and stripped me of all my clothes except for my underwear. I suddenly broke away from him and escaped, so I came naked and came to you. 'They will definitely believe it. I'll wear my clothes and treat me well. As long as I get on my horse, I can wait for the opportunity to run back. I am eager to relieve your thirst, so I break into the enemy camp at all costs."
Those who have heard and seen. Temujin was very moved by Mian's loyalty. He said to Zhelemei: "I have nothing to say now. When the beggars of the third surname Mie'er attacked me and searched for me three times around Mount Burhan, you saved my life once. Now you use You sucked the blood with your mouth and saved my life again. I was thirsty and irritable, but you broke into the enemy camp desperately and fetched cheese for me to eat, which saved my life again. I will remember your life-saving grace three times. In my heart."
When it was daylight, Temujin discovered that the Taichiwu resistance force had fled, leaving only some ordinary people. He endured the pain of his wounds, mounted his horse and went to personally recruit the people who were about to flee.
Suddenly, he found a woman crying and shouting Temujin's name on a hill.
This woman is Heda'an, the daughter of Suo'erhan who was assassinated.
To put it bluntly, Heda'an was Temujin's first love.
He could not forget the ripples in his heart that year in the sweltering pile of wool.
At this time Temujin's soldiers caught and wanted to kill her husband, so she shouted to Temujin for help.
Hearing the sound, Temujin galloped forward, dismounted and took Heda'an into his arms.
He arrived too late. Hedaan's husband had been executed and Temujin could no longer save him.
After Temujin recruited the above-mentioned people, he still camped and rested on the spot that day. He sympathized with Ganda Ansh and ordered her to sit next to him. < /p>
Throw it to the ground;
Take off the yoke from my collar,
Take it off and put it aside.
You, father and son, have done me a great favor. "Why did you come so late?"
"I'm sure. What are you busy with?" The old man replied, "If you come early, the nobles of the Taichiwu tribe will definitely leave me behind." , the wife, children, horses, and food at home were destroyed like ashes, so I didn’t rush to come early. Now we are here to join our Khan.”
After listening to what the old man said, Temujin kept saying good things and saying that it was a wise move for the old man to do this.
Archer
At the same time as Suoerhan lost his assassination, there was also a young man named Zhierhuo Aji who came to attack Temujin.
This young man is a genuine Taichiwu man with a good foundation and a good reputation. During the battle at Kuoyin, he shot an arrow into the collarbone of Temujin's horse.
To be more precise, he shot and wounded Temujin's horse at the end of the battle in Kuoyin.
At that time, Zhamuka's army retreated, and Temujin sent his troops to cover up and pursue them. Zierhuo Aji and some other Taichiwu soldiers hid in a secluded place, trying to avoid the attack of Temujin's army. However, it happened that Huo'er was kicked out.
Temujin saw him and ordered his men to attack him and capture him like a wild beast. The general Borshu asked the famous young warrior to compete in archery alone.
Temujin agreed to his request and lent him his chestnut horse with a white mouth.
Boshu got on his horse, rushed up, drew his bow and arrow on the horse, and shot at the enemy, but missed. Huo Ajie, who was more skilled in archery, also shot an arrow back at the opponent, hitting the neck of the horse Bo Shu was riding. Then he whipped his whip and the Pegasus ran away.
Now, Zheerhuo Aji has run out of arrows and food, so he has no choice but to surrender to Temujin... Temujin looked at Zheerhuo Aji, and his sharp eyes seemed to see through his five internal organs at once. Liufu, then asked:
"When we were fighting in Kuoyitian, an arrow shot from the mountain and broke the neck of my horse, the white-billed yellow horse. "
"I am the one who shoots arrows from the mountain," replied Jierhuo Aji. "If the Great Khan grants me death now, it will only stain a palm of my hand. But if I am forgiven by the Great Khan. , I am willing to cross the deep water and break the clear stone in front of the Khan, go to the assigned place to break the blue stone, and go to the place ordered to break the black stone."
Temujin was overjoyed when he heard this and said. : "Whenever you are hostile to others, you must hide and keep silent about the things you kill and are hostile to. But this man told me the things he killed and the enemies against without any secret. This is a person who can be a friend. His (original) name was Zie'erhuo Aji. Because he shot the neck of my white-mouthed yellow horse, I named him "Zhebie" and asked him to fight for us. We called him "Zhebie". . But I ordered him to follow me." From then on, the Taichiwu "Zhebie" became Temujin's general. This young general's great military exploits made the name Temujin give him immortal in history. He later conquered Semirechye and Kashgar for Temujin and defeated the Persians and Georgians. and the Russians. There are very few warriors with outstanding military exploits and fame like him in the history of Mongolia.
Destruction
The Taichiwu tribe was conquered by Temujin.
This Mongolian tribe is closely related to Temujin's tribe. It was once under the rule of Temujin's father, Yesugei Bat'er. After Yesugei's death, the Taichiwu people split, which caused the Nian Dynasty. The young Temujin lost the possibility of inheriting his father's position.
Now, in the battle with the Taichiwu people, Temujin killed their leaders, large and small, and even "the leaders of these leaders." His sons and daughters and their sons and daughters' sons and daughters" were all "wiped into ashes."
He conquered the entire Taichiwu tribe by force, surrendered the subjects, and took them to Huba near the upper reaches of the Kerulen River.
However, Talihutai, the top leader of the Taichiwu tribe, was able to escape and went into the deep mountains and forests.
Talihutai was. Temujin's old enemy.
It was he who persecuted the young Temujin and imprisoned him with wooden shackles.
After escaping into the jungle, his three servants. ——The bald old man who lost his son and his two sons, Acihei and Nayaa, betrayed his trust in them.
They took advantage of him when he was in a weak position. He caught him, put him in the car, and drove to Temujin's camp, intending to present him to Temujin as a meeting gift.
They had just walked not far when several people from Talihutai met. His son and brothers chased him, hoping to rescue him.
Before the pursuers could get close, the old man, who had lost a few years and was bald, jumped into the car, drew his knife, leaned over and said to the prisoner: "Your son." They are here to take you back. Because I have laid hands on you, my master, even if I do not kill you, your brothers will kill me because I have laid hands on my own master.
Killing means death anyway, I will find you as a backer first and kill you, then I will die! "
After Shi'er Gu Bald had finished speaking, he raised his knife and prepared to kill the prisoner. When Tali Hutai saw it, he shouted loudly and told his brothers to stop where they were.
He said: "Shi'er Gu Baldure wants to kill me! If I am killed, what is the use of taking my lifeless body? You can go back quickly before you kill me! ”
He would rather be taken to Temujin’s camp. He seemed to have thought at this time that he and Temujin were still relatives.
He boasted that as long as he was in Temujin If you mention certain past events in front of Zhen, you can gain Temujin's forgiveness and mercy.
He said: "When Temujin was young, he was abandoned because of the fire in his eyes and the light on his face. In an ownerless camp. I brought him back once. I trained him like a new two- or three-year-old colt. Someone asked me to kill him, but I couldn't bear to kill him. I heard that he still remembers it now. I heard he has an open mind. Temujin will not let me die. You, my brothers, go back quickly! If you don't go, Shiergu Forehead Bald will kill me! ""
When the pursuers heard what Temujin said, they had no choice but to retreat.
The old man, who had lost his son and was bald, took the captives and continued on their way towards Temujin’s camp.
Naya'a, one of his two sons, is more cautious and knowledgeable. On the way, Naya'a told his father that going to see Temujin in this way was a blind move that did not understand Temujin's character.
He said: "If we capture this Ta'erhutai and send him away, Temujin will think that we have attacked his rightful master, and he will say: 'To his own How can these people be relied upon when the right lord has attacked them? How can these people be our friends? Let’s kill these people who are not able to be friends and have attacked the right lord and the monarch. ! 'Wouldn't we be killed in this case? Let's release Talihutai and go to him and say: 'We have captured Talihutai, but we can't bear to leave him. Lord, how can we watch him be executed? Let him go. We are here to serve you sincerely.” After hearing what his son said, Shiergu was right. He immediately released Talihutai and took only his two sons to surrender to Temujin.
The old man said: "When we came to capture Talihutai, we couldn't bear to see our master being executed. We couldn't bear to let him go, so we let him go. We are working for Temujin. ."
"What you did is very right." Temujin praised them and said, if you attack your own monarch Talihutai and capture him, I will kill you. These people attack their rightful masters!
Temujin heard that the idea of ??releasing Talihutai came from the young Naya, so he praised Naya's actions.
Naya later became one of Temujin's confidants and was often entrusted with the most delicate secret missions. Of course, these are all things for later.
Extinction
After conquering the Taichiwu tribes, Temujin can be said to have completed his plan to avenge himself. But his overall revenge plan has not yet been completed, because he still has family feud to avenge.
Only by annihilating the Tatar tribal alliance can he avenge his family, because the Tatar people are the murderers of his ancestors and the executioners who killed his father Yesugei.
As mentioned before, the Tatars also belong to the Mongolian race, so they are hostile brothers with the Temujin family. There are many tribes under the Tatar Tribal Alliance, which are nomadic on one side of the Lower Kerulen River Basin. Their activity area extends from Kuolian Lake and Yueyuer Lake in the west to the Daxinganling Mountains, the boundary between Mongolia and the northeast.
Some time ago, Temujin had united with King Khan of Kelibu and defeated the Tatars with the help of government troops. Later, in the battles with various alliances that opposed him, Temujin fought against the Tatars several times. While defeating these alliances, Temujin also caused the Tatars to suffer a heavy defeat.
In 1202 AD, Temujin planned to finally deal with these old enemies.
To complete this task, he no longer needs the help of allies, because at this time he has many soldiers, strong men and horses, and his own strength alone is enough to deal with the Tatars. .
This will be a merciless life-and-death duel between him and the Tatars.
The decisive battle was fought in the spring of 1202 AD, on the battlefield at Tamran Nemurgesi.
According to the research of historians, this place is near the mouth of the Halaha River into the Yuyuer Lake.
Before the decisive battle, Temujin gave the troops three rules, prohibiting the soldiers from seizing the spoils before winning a complete victory. He believed that as long as he won a complete victory, there would be enough time to divide the spoils. In addition, he stipulated that if the first attack was repulsed by the opponent, he must charge again at all costs, disrupt the morale of the army and then retreat without mercy! ! ! !
The Tatar people collapsed under the fierce attack of Temujin's army.
Temujin's army gave full play to the fast-moving tactics of guerrilla warfare. The whole army made a circuitous outflank and quickly surrounded the retreating enemy in the Ale Hui River and the Shulu Gelu River Basin. The four Tatar tribes (Chahan Tatar tribe, Alechi Tatar tribe, Dutawud Tatar tribe, and Aruhai Tatar tribe) were all wiped out, and almost no officers and soldiers escaped the net.
However, someone in Temujin's army seriously violated his military orders.
He had stipulated before the war that the property would be divided after the battle. However, his uncle, the trouble-making Taritai, his cousin Hutsar, and in addition Prince Altan, refused to obey orders and did not wait for the war to end or for the property to be divided among the emperors. , privately plundering property on the battlefield.
They relied on their noble birth and thought they were exempt from Temujin's orders. However, just because they are close relatives, they should be punished more if they violate military orders. Otherwise, if people like them disobey orders without punishment, others will follow suit.
At least Altan's disobedience will have a very dangerous impact. Isn't he the son of the last Khan of the former Mongol Kingdom, Khutuchi?
Doesn't his intentional disobedience indicate that he will rebel soon? Thinking of this, Temujin resolutely sent Jebe and Kublai to confiscate the horses and property stolen by the three princes. In this way, Temujin restored the dignity of military orders.
However, neither Altan, Kuchar, nor Dalitai could swallow this breath. They felt that their self-esteem had been hurt. As a result, these three people secretly formed an anti-Temujin faction. They rebelled and left soon after, took refuge in the Keli tribe, and joined the ranks of those who opposed Temujin...
At this time, Temujin The real problem was what to do with so many Tatar prisoners. On this issue, Temujin's attitude was also very firm.
In order to make a decision, he summoned the tribesmen to his camp and held a secret meeting. Everyone’s opinions and the conclusions of the meeting were clear. "In the past, the Tatar people killed our ancestors and fathers. We want to avenge our ancestors and fathers and kill everyone who is higher than Cheha! The rest will be distributed to each family as slaves."
However, after the meeting, Temujin's half-brother Belgutai accidentally told a Tatar prisoner of the decision.
Of course, there is also a theory that Belgutai deliberately disclosed the information to Yokeshelian in a relatively obscure way. Because in his opinion, his brother's approach seemed too cruel.
In fact, not only Belgutai, but also his generals have more or less "hidden" many Tatars. From what we can learn later, these Tatars who escaped from death are very loyal.
After receiving the news, the Tatar people established a stronghold to defend themselves.
At that time, they were all in the ravines of Xing'anling Mountains. These ravines were covered with chest-deep weeds, and they burrowed into the grass to hide. Among these grasses, there are also some small elms and willows growing, and poplars and birches also grow on the hillside. As long as some trees are cut down and vehicles are added, some fortifications can be easily formed.
Temujin's army spent a lot of effort to capture these fortifications and lost a lot of troops during the attack. After breaking the stronghold, Temujin ordered his troops to kill the male Tatars. However, this killing is not one-sided.
Because the Tatar people had known in advance that they were going to die, so they prepared knives in their sleeves. Before dying, many of them suddenly drew their knives and killed each other, in order to use the other person as their own. The "back" of human graves.
Temujin was very angry about Belgudei's leakage.
Due to Belgudei's leak, Temujin's army suffered great losses.
From then on, Temujin prohibited Belgutai from participating in the "Great Discussion".
Significantly, he also banned his uncle Du Litai from participating in the discussion, because Du Litai's attitude increasingly aroused his suspicion.
In the process of dividing the spoils, Temujin judged Ye Sugan, the daughter of Ye Ke Lian, as his own.
It is said that Temujin loved her very much. But this young and beautiful woman has no special intention to dote on her, or at least she is very considerate of her sisters at home.
On the night when she and Temujin lived together, when she was convinced that Temujin loved her very much, she told Temujin that she had a sister named Ye Sui, whose beauty was the best among women. , enough to match the sweat.
She said: "Whether you treat me like an ordinary person or even like an animal, it is all the kindness of the Great Khan to me. I have a sister named Yesui who is better than me. She is even more worthy of the Great Khan. She just got a husband, but now I don’t know where she is. You can go find her."
Temujin said, if your sister is better than him. If you want to be nice, I will send someone to look for you. Your sister is here, can you give up your seat to her?
Ye Suqian nodded in agreement. Temujin sent people to search everywhere, and finally found Yesui in the dense forest. At that time, Sui Sui was taking refuge in the forest with her fiancé. When her fiancé saw someone coming, he hurriedly ran away
alone. People brought Yesu back, and Temujin married her like his sister.
Some of the Tatar people were wiped out, and some were reduced to slaves. To celebrate his victory, Temujin held an open-air feast. During the dinner, he ordered his two new concubines, Ye Suqian and Ye Sui, to sit beside him, drinking and having fun.
Temujin was drinking happily when he suddenly noticed that Yesu looked flustered and restless. He couldn't help but feel suspicious. On the way, he ordered Borshu and Muhuali to arrange for all the men to line up according to their tribes for easy identification.
As soon as they separated, they found a stranger standing there, and no one in the department knew this person. This is a handsome boy with a handsome face and a well-proportioned figure. Upon cross-examination, he admitted that he was Ye Sui's fiancé. He came here secretly, blending in with the crowd, just to take another look at his sweetheart. He thought he was safe and sound among the crowd, and no one knew him.
On this issue, Temujin did not tolerate jokes, especially because he himself loved Ye Sui.
The young man was beheaded on the spot.
But this war to eliminate the Tatar tribe almost cost Temujin a very high price.
What happened is this: after the collapse of the Tatar tribal alliance, a Tatar general named Harjil who was assassinated escaped the massacre. He wandered alone in the wild, hungry and unbearable, so he turned back and wandered around the Mongolian camp. Finally, he simply came to the yurt of Temujin’s mother, Mrs. Hoelun, and asked Mrs. Hoelun for some food to satisfy his hunger.
Mrs. Hoelun was a kind-hearted person and immediately agreed: "Seeing how pitiful you are, I will get you some food. Don't worry, I will get it right away."
p>Hoelun’s mother asked Hargil to sit behind the door. After a while, Temujin's 5-year-old son Tolei walked in from the door.
Little Tuolei walked in the door for a few steps, then suddenly turned around and ran towards the door.
As soon as he ran to the door, Hargil suddenly stood up and grabbed him.
Haerjil missed the stab and put the little Tolei under his arm, and walked out, drawing a knife to kill the child...
At this time, Hoelun's mother When he came out of the house, he screamed when he saw this, and together with Borhu's wife Altani, they rushed to catch up with Harjil's assassination.
Altani's legs were fast and he caught up with Harjil first and missed the stab. He shouted and rushed towards him, grabbing his braid with one hand and his knife-holding wrist with the other. Altani twisted the wrist holding the knife hard, and the knife fell.
At this time, Zhelemei and Zhebie were killing a calf near the crime scene. When they heard Altani's cry, they put down their work and ran over with axes in hand before they had time to wipe off the blood on their hands. They picked up the axes and dropped them. Hargil missed the stab and fell straight to the ground.
The destruction of the Tatar tribal alliance established Temujin's hegemony in eastern Mongolia.
Now, in the entire Mongolian land, the only people who can rival him are the Keles who dominate central Mongolia and the Naiman who dominate western Mongolia.
The elimination of the Tatar tribal alliance gave Temujin ample room for maneuver.
After wiping out the Tatar tribe, Temujin quickly thought of Wang Khan and wanted to take advantage of him. At the same time, Wang Khan became increasingly suspicious and distrustful of Temujin. As a result, the alliance broke down.
