Chapter 111 Mongolia’s response

Hearing what Zhebe read, the Mongolian generals stopped joking and stared at him solemnly. They didn't urge him to read it quickly. They were all very quiet. After Zhebe coughed, he began to read the following content quickly and loudly: "

After this, I lost my patience a little, so I urged the army to prepare to advance and fight head-on with the enemy. However, before this, the scouts suddenly heard good news, claiming that the other party's army had been lured over and advanced towards the direction of our main force.

I was very happy. So I continued to wait patiently. Eight days later, the opponent's army did come over - however, it was not the opponent's main force. The combat power, fighting will, equipment and war horses of those people were not as good as they could compete with our Mongolian warriors. We defeated them easily.

Later, after interrogating the captured prisoners, I realized that the opponent's main force had already left. What we defeated was nothing more than a mob with different opinions from the enemy's commander and came to fight us on his own. In addition, I also knew that they were not local Arab troops as I thought at the beginning. Instead, they were more Western coalitions composed of more than a dozen kingdoms that believed in the same gods. What we had fought with us before was their leader, the army of the emperor of the Norman Empire."

After reading these, Zhebe paused for a moment and said, "There is still a paragraph below."

"Continue reading and finish reading." Genghis Khan responded next to Zhebei.

"Yes, Khan." So Zhebe continued reading: "I announced this news in the army. But the soldiers did not seem to be affected much. Perhaps for the Mongolian warriors, war is war. Although the objects are different, there is nothing to make a fuss about.

After that, we took a short rest for three days, then continued to advance and entered the area called Babylon. We did not encounter any decent resistance. We took over part of this area smoothly. However, afterwards, we encountered a powerful army. Although they were smaller than ours, most of them were infantry. They had very strong combat power. The square formation arranged by their infantry was extremely strong, and there were elite cavalry and archers. We fought several times, and each other won and lost, but no one took advantage.

So, I changed my tactics again, using the cavalry's maneuvering style to make the opponent lose sight of the other side. The opponent's heavy infantry had poor mobility. Our cavalry bypassed the opponent's main force and continued to attack other places, which made them lose their minds and fall into my trap. After a great war, we defeated them, their remaining soldiers fled and entered a city, which was a solid fortress called Baghdad. I couldn't break it for a while. My troops also lost a lot, and the soldiers were very tired and needed rest.

I salute you again, the great Genghis Khan. Your servant, Queer Buhua, leads all the soldiers of the Mongolian vanguard army to greet you. I want to ask you for instructions, what should I do now? Should I continue to move forward, or stay still, waiting for the invincible Mongolian army you lead? Or should I forcefully attack this city? I am waiting for your instructions. Your most loyal slave, hawk, Queer Buhua..."

After Zhebe read the letter, the tent was still silent. The Mongolian generals either frowned and thought, or stared at Temujin, who was still alive, waiting for the orders of the Khan.

"Okay, don't stop talking." After a while, Genghis Khan opened his eyes and looked at the Mongolian generals, his confidants, and his brothers and children and grandchildren who were sitting.

"You all say what should we do now? Should we continue to fight, or should we let the timid Buhua retreat and come back?"

A group of Mongolian generals discussed in a low voice, and then, the man sitting at his top, wearing heavy scales, a gorgeous gem helmet, and a scimitar covered with gems, spoke first: "Father Khan, the Mongolian warriors are invincible in the world, we know this. However, we have just experienced a great war. Although we have achieved the purpose of punishing Timur, a villain, we have also lost many troops. I think we should retreat temporarily and rest for a while. Wait until next autumn, when the grass grows and the horses are fat, we will send troops to continue to attack this place."

Before the man could finish his words, sitting opposite him, the equally fierce Mongolian general roared: "What do you mean is that if we should swallow our anger, will the soldiers die in vain?! Shu Chi, you are a coward! You are not worthy of being the son of the great father Khan!"

The person who said this was Genghis Khan's second son (real eldest son?) Chagatai. Before Genghis Khan announced his heir, he often had conflicts with Shuchi and his brother (half-father?). Although in the end, Genghis Khan threw both of them aside and handed over the inheritance rights to his third son Ogedei. However, it seemed that this did not improve the relationship between the two brothers.

"I have also led the way, fought on the battlefield, and commanded the army to invade a great country! Why do you say I am a coward?!" Shu Chi was naturally unhappy when she was said to this, and stood up and yelled at his younger brother.

"That's all in the past - if you don't take revenge and don't dare to continue fighting, you're a coward!" Chagatai didn't forgive him and shouted back like this.

"Give me peace of mind!" Seeing these two quarreling sons, Genghis Khan secretly thanks to not giving the inheritance of the Khan throne to one of them. Otherwise, their struggle would definitely lead to the division of the Mongol Empire.

Temujin also cared very much about Shuchi's "not his son". Temujin naturally didn't want to listen to such a shameful and conspicuous thing. And Chagatai, who said such words in front of everyone repeatedly and even said such words in front of Temujin, was not liked by Temujin because of this.

"Shu Chi is pretty good. But Chagatai is an absolute fool! Fortunately, I have two other sons." Temujin thought so in his heart, and glared at Chagatai fiercely. Then he looked at the others and asked them: "What about you? Do you think we should withdraw our troops or continue to fight?"

"That's right, Khan. I think what the two princes said makes sense. But the problem now is not that we Mongolians should fight or withdraw their troops. It depends on how the other party does it." Among the Mongolian generals, an old general with earrings, beard and tied up his long hair with a smile on his face, said this.

"Borshu, continue to talk." Genghis Khan finally smiled when he heard his confidant beloved general speak. The old general was the leader of the four Mongolian heroes, Borshu, the leader of the right ten thousand households, and the position of the generals was still above Mu Huali. It can be regarded as the number one person in the Mongolian army. He is resourceful and loyal. If it were the idea he said, Genghis Khan would probably adopt it.

"I mean, we do not decide whether to fight or withdraw troops or temporarily maintain the status quo. Instead, we send envoys to the other country. That is the Norman Empire. Meet their emperors and hold them accountable why they are enemies with us. We must test their attitudes clearly. At the same time, we send spies and merchants to reconnaise their country. We must know how strong they have and what their attitude towards us is. Only in this way can we decide whether to fight between them or maintain peace. What should we do to keep peace with them? What we can gain from keeping peace with them. That's what I want to say. Khan."

"Well said, Borz." Genghis Khan nodded and said, "You said, this looks like a smart person. Whether you choose war or peace, you must have enough understanding of the other party - before that, our merchants have also started trade with the Normans... Well, then who among you has the right candidate and who wants that empire?" Genghis Khan continued to ask.

"Great Khan, your grandson Xulagu can share your worries." The young man sitting at the bottom of his hand - no, it is also possible to say that he is a young man. Genghis Khan's youngest son Torre's fifth son, the third legitimate son. Xulagu, who was just fifteen years old this year, took the lead and said this.

"Oh... it seems that our little foal has grown up and wants to go out and go out for a walk." Hearing his grandson volunteering, Genghis Khan smiled: "You can go, but you are too young. It's better to choose someone and be your companion together."

"Then, if the Khan agrees, I am willing to accompany Xulagu to the west." A young general sitting on the outside, who had a different appearance than other Mongolian generals said. When everyone saw that the man was Guo Kan, the Han general who was Genghis Khan's confidant.

"Well... your identity is enough." Genghis Khan thought for a moment and nodded: "You two, go and discuss what kind of gifts to bring, how many followers, horses, and guards to bring. After you get there, what will you do when you see the other emperor. After you have thought about it, tell me. Just go and rest."

Genghis Khan finally made the decision and made a decision. A group of Mongolian generals also walked out one after another, leaving only a few Qiexue guards standing outside the Khan's tent, guarding without moving...
