When Genghis Khan defeated the Taichi Wu, Zamuhe escaped from Wang Han's pursuers. He was anxious to regroup, so he turned to Wang Han. Although Zamuhe's alliance had been shattered, there were still other tribes loyal to him, and even if he hid in the remote areas of the steppe, he could win the support of the new allies and attract them to join his ranks. The game between him and Genghis Khan will continue.
In 1202, the year that Genghis Khan defeated the TaichiWu people, Wang Han united with Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan launched another campaign to plunder the Eastern Tatars, while the aging Wang Han himself stayed closer to home and launched a campaign against the Jurchen beggars.
In the battle to eliminate the Eastern Tartars, Genghis Khan's nobles Aletan, Kucha'er, and Dalitai violated military orders and delayed the war by grabbing things, so Genghis Khan confiscated all their booty and severely reprimanded them for not keeping military orders. As a result, they also turned to Wang Han in one fell swoop.
At that time, Genghis Khan had established a new main camp near the confluence of the smaller Sangul and Krullen rivers. Later, it became his capital, called Qudiao Alain. During this period, on the vast Mongolian plateau stretching from the Daxing'an Mountains in the east to the Altai Mountains in the west, only the Mongols led by Genghis Khan, the Krebe with Wang Han as the leader, and the Naiman clan in the west remained. Wang Han, Guerhan (Zamuhe), and Genghis Khan met again, but as enemies rather than friends. The father-son relationship between Wang Han and Genghis Khan was also completely severed by his capriciousness.
Wang Han and Genghis Khan, two fathers and sons, one destroyed the Tatar tribe, the other destroyed the Qi'er Beggar Department, then who among them will become the king of the steppe? The solution is not elections or succession, but war. Shortly before they declared war, there was a meeting. Wang Han said at the huimeng: "My brother does not have a good thing, and as for my son, because he is an only child, there is no one to help him." So let Genghis Khan be my son Sankun's brother, so that I have two sons, and I will be relieved! Thus, Genghis Khan and Sangkun formally married as Anda.
Sankun stills
In order to build a closer relationship, Genghis Khan proposed to marry Sankun's sister to his eldest son, Shuchi, and at the same time to marry his own daughter to Sankun's son. Genghis Khan seems to be a bit of a problem with this nonsense, because he and Sangkun are brothers, and Sangmin's sister married his son and lowered a generation. Although the Mongols did not care much about generations, Sankun used this as an excuse to reject Genghis Khan's request. He retorted: "When our daughters come to his house, they can only serve them at the door (because of their low rank), but when his daughter marries into my house, she can sit at the upper table and accept the service. Genghis Khan has since become even more disgusted with Wang Han and Sangkun.
But this is only the superficial cause of the rift in their relationship. The shrewd and cunning Zamuhe had already seen the signs. He encouraged Sankun to say. "Although my Anda recognizes your father as his father in words, he has ambitions to dominate the steppes. If you trust him, you will ruin great things, and if you want to conquer him, I am willing to be a pioneer!" Altan and Kucha'er, who had been punished by Genghis Khan, also suggested: "We are willing to help you get rid of Genghis Khan's mother Ke Erlun, behead her eldest son Genghis Khan, and hang her younger sons." ”
Another person clearly stated to Sangkun: "For your cause, we are willing to go to the end of the road, the depths of the water!" "Sangkun has long wanted to openly oppose Genghis Khan and destroy Genghis Khan. But the matter was at stake, and he had to get his father's consent. Wang Han said: "This should not be done to my son Genghis Khan. The development and growth of our tribe now depends on Genghis Khan! If you have a bad heart for him, the Immortal Heaven will also be angry! Zamuhe is a man of discord, and his words are not credible! ”
Sangkun believed that his father would not judge the situation, conservative and stubborn, so he asked those who supported him to go and persuade Wang Han. At the beginning of 1203, Zamuhe came to conspire with Sangkun, Altan, and Kucha'er. Under their encouragement and the temptation of power, Wang Han was shaken. After receiving his father's approval, Sankun returned to his camp and said to his subordinates, "Didn't Temujin propose to us a few days ago?" Now invite them over and eat the neck of the sheep and take the opportunity to take them down! ”
After Genghis Khan received the invitation, he thought that Sangkun had agreed to the marriage, and was very happy, ready to take more than a dozen people to the banquet. On the way, they stayed at Papa Monlique's house. When Monlik heard about this, he said very worriedly: "Sankun changed his mind so quickly, I am afraid that there is deception, khan should be careful." I heard some herdsmen from afar say that many tents in the Kriebu were concentrating on people and horses, and I did not know if there was any plot. "Genghis Khan said: These worries are not unreasonable, and I should be careful, so as not to let the sheep fall into the mouth of the tiger." So he abandoned his plan to go to the feast, sent only a few men down to eat the neck of the sheep, and returned to the camp immediately.
Seeing that his plan had not succeeded, Sangkun was very anxious, and quickly consulted someone to discuss countermeasures, and finally decided to declare war on Genghis Khan. Subsequently, he immediately gathered a large army and marched straight to the eastern grasslands, trying to preemptively attack the Beggars. However, two herders in the Kreb tribe reported the news to Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan immediately gathered his men and prepared to fight.
A few days later, the two armies met at Haranzhen Shatuo. Before the battle, Wang Han stood in the army and shouted loudly: "Warriors of the Krebu, my good son Temujin is really going to kill his father, you must take the place of Skywalker!" Then, he said to Sangkun and Zamuhe, "In today's battle, we must beat Temujin to the ground, so that my son Sangkun will have a stable life." Sang Kun smiled, "That's nature, as long as you get rid of Temujin's eye nail, I will meekly serve father Khan in the future, And Kliebu is the master of the grassland, and father Khan can be blessed and happy." As soon as their father and son sang a harmony, zamuhe was very uncomfortable to hear, and he was about to speak when the sentry came to report: "Temujin's army has arrived at Haranzhen Shatuo." Sankun was shocked and shouted to the people, "Destroy the rebellion and capture Temujin alive!" His men raised their sabers and responded in unison.
Genghis Khan sat on his horse and saw Wang Han's vanguard rushing to the front of the line, and he also urged his horse to swing his sword. Rush towards the enemy line. Although the qiyanbu troops did not have the upper hand, because Genghis Khan was a pioneer and took the lead in rushing to the front of the team, the local pawns were full of morale, and they quickly blocked the light horses of the Krebu who rushed to kill them. Wang Han's vanguard saw that the situation was not good, and fled to the rear, but the main force of the powerful No-Think Army was not substantially weakened, and after a little reorganization, they made a comeback. Looking at the sky and looking at the sun falling on the mountainside, he shouted to the soldiers: "It is getting late, and we will collect our troops and return to the camp to rectify, and tomorrow we will fight with my old father again." "After saying that, order the whole line to collect troops." The king rarely saw that Genghis Khan's army dispersed, and did not pursue, and the army fell back. In the first confrontation, Sangkun and others were shot by the Mongol army, losing about 400 people; There were also hundreds of casualties in Genghis Khan's army.
Genghis Khan counted the people and horses, and found that the three sons of Kuotai and borshu and borku brothers were missing, and he immediately ordered people to look for them, but there was no reply for a long time. The next morning, Genghis Khan, who was sitting anxiously in the camp, suddenly received a report: "There is a glass horse running in front of me, I don't know if it is one of the three generals?" ”
Chengyan Si Khan excitedly walked out of the tent, stood on a high place and looked out, and found that it was Borshu sitting on the horse. He immediately stepped forward and said, "My good companion, I am only returning now, which really worries me!" Didn't Wokou and Borku who rushed out with you come back with you? Bor shu untied the strap on his body and said to Genghis Khan: "Yesterday I was with Wokoutai and Bor, but when I was protecting the three princes, my war horse was suddenly shot and fell to the ground, and at this critical moment of life and death, Wokoutai shot Sankun with a bow and arrow, and most of the enemy army rushed to Sangkun's side, just at this moment, I saw a horse riding a crumbling pocket, so I cut off the rope, flew on this light plate saddle horse, and desperately ran in the direction of the retreat of the army, so I lost contact with Wokoutai and Bor. Genghis Khan heard the words and comforted: "You are indeed my warrior and Nakor!" If the Immortal Heaven blessed, Borku and Wokoutai would be fine! ”
Stills of Boer
Suddenly, a sentry ran over in a panic and reported, "Khan, there is another warhorse galloping in the distance, and it is likely that another general has returned." Genghis Khan became even more nervous: "Is there only one person returning?" Can't my Lord retreat from the whole body? He stared at the galloping warhorses in the distance. When the horse approached, the crowd found two men on their backs: Bor was covered with blood, his left arm was wounded, and he was riding on the horse, and it was the Three Sons' Nest that lay behind him. Genghis Khan personally lifted Borku off his war horse, clasped his shoulders tightly, and said excitedly: "My hero, it is indeed a great blessing for my Mongolian ministry to return safely today." Bol suddenly dragged his tired body and prostrated, "Today I can see the Khan again, and Bol suddenly wants to thank the Immortal Heaven." It is my unshirkable duty to bring Wokoutai back to khan safely. The attendant carefully helped Wokoutai off his horse and carried genghis Khan's bed.
Genghis Khan then asked Borcholas, "How did you escape?" Bol suddenly stood up and replied, "When I was fighting with Wokoutai, I rushed into the encirclement of the Kliebu, and the soldiers and horses of the Kliebu rushed up, and I hit the warhorses of wokoutai fiercely, and his warhorses flew forward like flying forward." After Wo Kuotai rushed out of the encirclement, I swung my sword and fought hard, and I also broke out of the siege and ran to Wo Kuotai. When I saw him, I found that he had been hit by an arrow in the neck, so I put him on my horse and ran into the hidden woods, found a safe place to rest for the night, and when it was just dawn, I galloped again with the nest and the platform in the direction of our army's retreat, and only now did I catch up with the brigade. Please Khan forgive me! ”
After Genghis Khan listened to Borch's narration, he couldn't help but shed tears. He fiercely drew his sword, burned it red on the fire, and personally burned the wound of wokoutai. When the generals saw this, they prostrated their heads together: "The wisdom and fraternity of the Khan are visible in the eternal life, and in the future the Khan will be the lord of the world." ”
Genghis Khan was very worried, and stopped Bor and said, "Did you find the latest movement of Wang Han's army when you returned?" Bol suddenly prostrated his head again, "Khan, when I rushed out of the encirclement of the Kreb, I heard some people shouting that Sangkun had been hit by an arrow, and today Wang Han may have to fight himself." ”
Towards noon, the two armies engaged again. Wang Han stood in the middle of the army, only to see his two men and horses alternately advancing, like a group of fierce tigers released from the deep mountains. When Heydar planted the Black Army Flag on the Que Yi Mountain, Genghis Khan's brigade swept over the battlefield of Haran Zhenshatuo. Wang Han's second echelon also charged forward, and Heyall rushed forward to engage his main general, Ah Lost Black. Just as Wei Da'er turned his horse's head and fought at Wang Han, Ah Lost Black lost his sword and stabbed Wei Da'er's key point, and Wei Da'er fell to the ground in response. The busy and sudden ti people immediately gathered around the place where Wei Da'er fell off his horse and fought hard with Wang Han, and after about half an hour of fighting, Wei Da'er was successfully rescued.
Genghis Khan looked at the dust raised by the horses and said to the people around him, "Wang Han has caught up!" "He did not dare to fall in love with the war, and he fought and retreated, and gathered his troops. After retreating for a while, Genghis Khan personally counted the number of people and found that there were more than 4,600 people. To solve the problem of diet, he divided his troops into two, one along the left bank of the Halaha River, and the other (including the Wulu Wuti and the Busy Kuti) along the right bank of the Halaha River, who moved and hunted at the same time. Since his wounds had not yet healed, Genghis Khan warned him not to chase wild beasts when he broke up with him, but as the commander of the First Army, he did not want to sit back and enjoy his success, and participated in the hunting mistakes many times. During a chase of the beast, his war horse ran too fast, causing the wound to collapse and die.
Genghis Khan was devastated, grief-stricken, and depressed, and said sadly: "The fear of my day and night is so ruthless that I do not want to fight with me." He buried the beloved general on the cliffs of Mount Haraha.
Genghis Khan loves to be afraid of the answer (front row, left)
This time, because Wang Han's Krebe ministry had been premeditated for a long time, although Genghis Khan received the news, he was in a hurry to fight, and the strength of the Mongol ministry at this time was not enough to fully confront the Krebu, resulting in defeat.
