Chapter 30
After Shen Yuanjing put down the big stone, he immediately returned to Wudang Mountain. When he got to Jingxiang, there seemed to be more refugees and secretly inquire. It turned out that Zhao Yun and his dream appointed, and refugees who suffered from border troubles flocked here, hoping that he could protect him.
He shook his head and sighed, "If you are the king, you cannot help the people to be safe. You will be so ridiculous that you will seek ghosts and gods! Zhao Song is not very angry."
By the first month of the fifth year of Shaoding in the Song Dynasty, the Mongolian and Jin armies met on both sides of the Han River. Wanyan Heda and Yila Pua followed the engravings of Shen Yuanjing on the stone and reversed the situation step by step.
The Jin army first arrived at Dengzhou and guarded the gateway. After many twists and turns, Torre crossed the Han River. Seeing that the Jin army was ready for battle, he knew that the city was urgent and difficult to break, so he advanced to the Yushan area to seek a new marching route.
Wanyan Heda was unmoved and firmly defended the route to Bianjing. The Mongolian army could not do so and wanted to bypass Dengzhou and go to Nanyang and Fangcheng. This step was also as expected by him. His subordinates were ambushed, but Torre saw the opportunity early and did not suffer much damage.
At this point, Torre no longer dared to underestimate the Jin people. He thought hard and made plans to stop siegeing the city, and advanced at full speed, trying to arrive at Kaifeng City as soon as possible and meet with Ogedei here.
The Jin army was chasing closely behind, and the Mongolian army approached Shahe and deployed defenses on the north and south sides. Torre first used ambush troops to lure the Jin army to fight on the southern wing of Shahehe, and retreated. When the other party crossed the river, they pretended to be extremely tired and defeated again.
Wanyan Heda and Yila Pua pretended to be deceived and led the army to chase them all the way to Junzhou. The Mongolian army indeed arrived and besieged him in Sanfeng Mountain. The two sides confronted each other, and Ogedei urgently ordered 10,000 cavalry to attack day and night to come to support.
On this day, the originally clear day suddenly covered with dark clouds and heavy snow fell. Three days in a row, one day after another, the soldiers on both sides were trembling with cold and could not even hold their weapons. After finally, the snow stopped, the snow water melted and turned the ground into a mud, making it difficult to move forward.
Torre led the Mongolian army to ignite the fire and keep warm, and roast the lamb for food. He barely survived these three days. Seeing this scene, he was overjoyed and said, "The great victory is in today's day!" He ordered the defense entrance in the northeast to open, and pretend to use the plan of three missing one, let the Jin soldiers go out, and set up an ambush in the direction of Junzhou.
When Wanyan Heda led the Jin soldiers to flee out in a panic, the Mongolian army immediately broke out from both wings. Torre saw the opponent's general shrinking and his formation was messy, and laughed and said, "My sons, let me kill you together."
He led the soldiers to the Jin army formation and saw the opponent's formation change and became orderly. Many spearmen rushed out of the crowd, teaming up with several people to defend against the Mongolian cavalry. There was a constant sound of snarls. When the two attacked each other, they actually damaged each other, and they didn't think he had the same side as he imagined.
Torre pulled up the stone of the Jin soldiers beside him, pulled open his clothes and saw that they were shocked. It turned out that these ordinary soldiers were wearing very thick clothes. In this way, the Jin soldiers were almost completely damaged in the Great Cold.
He felt a thump in his heart and said to himself: "Not good!" He quickly said to the generals beside him: "Retreat quickly." But it was too late.
All I could hear was the sound of "Wuwu" and many Jin soldiers came out of Sanfeng Mountain, all of whom were well-equipped and full of energy, and howled towards the Mongolian army. The arrival of this new force caught Torre off guard, and the army was in full swing.
Fortunately, his leadership level was really extraordinary, and he could still restrain some of the remaining soldiers in time and retreat to Dengzhou while fighting. When he arrived in the southwest of Sanfeng Mountain, he saw that he could escape and ascend to heaven, and another clamor sounded, and the Jin general Wu Xian led the army out.
At this point, Torre knew that he was powerless to turn the world, so he led dozens of personal guards to leave the army. He first went south, turned left and right, and then fled from the north with a fiddle. The 40,000 troops led by Ogedei, and more than 20,000 people supported by the front and back, were all lost here.
After this battle, Mongolia was unable to annex the Jin Kingdom for a while, and instead wanted to go north in a panic. Wanyan Heda and Yila Pua hurriedly pursued Ogedei out of Pingyang Prefecture and Daming Prefecture. If Ochen Nayan had not brought the Mongolian left-wing army to provide assistance, they would have taken back both Taiyuan Prefecture and Zhending Prefecture.
However, due to obstacles to the north, Wanyan Heda immediately led the Jin army to the west, took back Yan'an Prefecture and Fengxiang Prefecture, and pushed the Mongolian power almost south of the Yellow River.
Such an unprecedented victory shocked the morale of the Jin Kingdom. Emperor Wanyan Shouxu heard the secret letters of the two generals telling each other about the secret information. He did not care about rewarding the meritorious ministers. He immediately ordered the Qingxu Palace in Taihua Mountain to be rebuilt, and prepared to go to worship in person, thank the immortals for their great kindness, and at the same time begged the immortals to return to the north.
At this moment, Shen Yuanjing was following Torre all the way north and soon caught up with Ogedei's army. The Mongolian Khan did not turn back to the desert and chose to stay halfway.
It was getting late at this moment, and the two brothers talked in the account. Torre half-kneeled on the ground, in pain and said, "It was me who failed my father Khan's last wish. I was sorry for my brother's instructions. I was too careless and lost my vigilance. I was trapped by Jindog."
Shen Yuanjing saw clearly that a sneer appeared on the corner of Wogedei's mouth and passed away. He stepped forward and helped Tore up and said in a deep voice: "Fourth brother, don't need this. There is a saying by the Southern people, victory or defeat is common in military affairs. Even if you lose this battle, it is not a problem. As long as my brothers work together and cultivate for a few years, they can pull out another army. The Jin Kingdom is just a fat sheep on the chopping board, and it can still escape."
Torenouno said that this time, most of the defeat was his troops. At this moment, he was no longer able to compete with Ogedei for power. From now on, he could only be like his eldest brother Shu Chi and his second brother Chagatai, and he would be released to be a great knight of a country.
Seeing that this young brother who could threaten his rank finally surrendered, Ogedei was very happy and immediately stood up and said, "Come on, send orders, the army will repair it overnight, and start to relocate tomorrow and return to the desert. We will fight again next year."
Torre stood up and was about to leave. He hurriedly kept him and said, "Fourth brother, you and my brother have not spoken well for a long time. We will sleep together tonight and reminisce about the old relationship."
Shen Yuanjing waited until the two of them fell asleep and entered the tent, and began to weigh in on who they were more suitable to kill: "These two are both heroes. If they were killed, they would probably be cheaper in the Jin Kingdom. It is not appropriate to keep Tore. He has great ability to lead troops and the sons he gave birth to are too powerful. It seems that he can only leave Ogedei."
He made up his mind and was about to take action, but he thought, "You can't just kill him casually, it's better to blame the guy next to him." He pondered for a while, lit the sleeping holes of the two of them, found a white cloth, put it on Tore's throat, and then manipulated the Wogedei's hand, put a ring on him, and pressed him down. In just a moment, Tore was suffocated to death.
A few days later, Shen Yuanjing heard the news of Torre's death, but what surprised him was that the charge of murder still fell on him.
There are many rumors that the Mongolian wizard once told outsiders that Tore's death was so silent, it must have been done by manpower. He destroyed the Qingxu Zhenjun Palace on Mount Hua, angering the immortals. He was always surrounded by a large army, and his evil spirits soared into the sky, and he could save his life. Now most of the soldiers have died and their luck is low, so Taihua Immortal took the opportunity to take his life.
