Chapter 226 Execution of Xu Liewu
Chapter 226: Execution of Huliu
"Hulagu captured us alive!" The special forces cheered and immediately attracted the attention of the Semu army. After they confirmed that Hulagu was really captured alive, they immediately organized the army to rob. This is certainly the reaction factors that the Semu army should have, and it is also the reason why Hulagu is loved by the soldiers.
As Li Jun expected, Yicai sent musketeers to rush towards Hulagu. One of the purposes was that if the musketeers could not catch Hulagu, they could provide support to the special forces. After all, the special forces were not large in number. If they were besieged by the Semu army, they could certainly kill Hulagu and kill Hulagu. In that case, it would be not perfect enough, and the other was that the special forces would suffer great losses. For Li Jun, neither of these could be accepted, so this was arranged.
Dai Yuan's army commanded the musketeers to advance quickly and quickly joined the special forces that were approaching them. Once the two armies gathered, the possibility that Xu Laigu would take An Ran away was 100%. Xu Guanghan breathed a sigh of relief.
Not long after, the Xuanjia Cavalry also leaned forward under the command of Zhao Qian. The three armies joined together and had a lot of power. Dai Yuanjun, the excellent musketeer commander, was still unsatisfied, and said to Zhao Qian and Xu Guanghan: "The Tartars are still fighting to the death. Why don't we borrow Hulagu and disintegrate their morale?"
His idea was immediately approved by Zhao Qian and Xu Guanghan, and the two said in unison: "Good idea!"
So, Hulagu's role changed immediately, from captives to exhibitions, with musketeers leading the battle, Xuan armored cavalry broke the rear, and the special forces escorted Hulagu, with Hulagu's flag in the middle, and began a unique and unique parade on the battlefield. While walking, they shouted, "Hulagu captured us alive!"
Parades are usually on the streets, but they use them on the battlefield, which is a wonder of all time!
Now tens of thousands of people shouted together, and their voices were numerous times stronger than hundreds of special forces. The sounds were waves one after another, and they rushed to the sky, shaking the earth. Although the fighting between the two armies was quite powerful, they still could not hide the Song army's shouts, which attracted many people to look at each other.
For the Song army, this sound is more beautiful than the Tianyin Fairy Music and has an inspiring effect. All the listeners are extremely excited, their blood is boiling, and suddenly the power is infinite. Every time they cut down, a Semu army soldier will inevitably fall under their knife. For the Semu army army, this shout is a death-seeking talisman. No more than 10% of the morale that originally aroused Xulagu, and there is no confidence to resist. The Song army is really good at picking up the bargain and seize this rare opportunity to attack.
Before the news of Hulagu's arrest came out, the Semu army fought with great enthusiasm, but although they were at a disadvantage, they were not in chaos. When the news spread, the Semu army seemed to have suddenly become infected with a plague and had no power to fight back. It was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Their offensive soon collapsed and disappeared.
Rather than saying that this was a one-sided massacre, according to the soldiers of the Song army who participated in the battle, "When we heard the news that Hulagu caught, we suddenly became a different person, with endless strength and energy. The sword was swung like a wind, but also the power to destroy the mountain. Needless to say, every knife was cut off by a Semi person, and there were many things to cut off their swords. After the war, we cleaned the battlefield and found countless broken swords, which were something that had never been done in previous battles."
The Semu Legion was in trouble, and the Song army cheered, but Hulagu was the most angry one. Hulagu was so arrogant that he killed people all his life and death. Every move could determine a person's life and death. Unexpectedly, he became a monkey jumping around in circles, and was regarded as rare for people to march on battlefields. Don't say he was depressed, anyone would be as depressed as he was to hit the wall.
I have to admit that Zhao Qian is very outstanding and can seize the opportunity. He once again showed his excellent qualities. He commanded the Xuan Armored Cavalry and shouted in unison: "Put down the weapon, we won't kill you now!"
The Semu Legion chased and killed the Song army, and countless casualties were killed or injured. If they continued to kill, it was unpredictable how many survivors could be. This was tantamount to the best amnesty order, and they all threw down their weapons and surrendered. The Song army also abides by the military orders, and those who put down their weapons would not be killed, because they were sore after killing and needed to take a breath.
The happy Semu soldiers didn't know that Zhao Qian shouted this very skillfully, and added the restrictive word "now". For them who were desperate, this was not important. The important thing was the four words "Don't kill you". When they understood, it would be too late.
"Let's go and meet Hulagu!" Looking at the battlefield gradually returning to the tranquility, Li Jun said to Qingfengzi and strode into his head.
"How is the harvest?" Li Jun asked Jie Jin with a smile.
Is it necessary to ask? The harvest is naturally so good that it cannot be better. Jie Jin replied happily: "The harvest is neither very good nor too bad, and it is acceptable." He was answering Li Jun's question wonderfully, pursing his lips tightly and holding back his smile.
"Okay, you little cavalry, you are actually a cunning person. You must punish you." Li Jun pointed at Jie Jin and smiled and said, "Only you boy dares to talk to me like this."
Jie Jin couldn't help laughing out loud and argued: "Your Majesty, aren't you happy? With such a big victory, the harvest is of course good enough. How can you punish me?"
Li Jun was a joke, and he wouldn't really punish him. He said with a smile: "I haven't thought about it yet. It's not too late to punish you after I think about it. You kid are just waiting to be punished."
"I must wait for the emperor to punish me." Jie Jin said happily. What did he say? Punishing people has always been very unpleasant, but he looked very happy, with a smile in his eyes, as if he was punished as a great pleasure.
Li Jun put away his smile and asked, "How many horses have been seized?"
In this situation, if someone changes, he would definitely not ask how many horses he seized, but would ask where Hulagu was and bring him up quickly. Li Jun's abnormal question was immediately approved by Qingfengzi, and he nodded and admired.
Qingfengzi certainly understood what Li Jun meant. The Southern Song Dynasty was about to cross the Yellow River to go to North China. North China took it down. The next thing was to carry out strategic pursuit and march into the Mongolian prairie. Although the Mongols were severely damaged in the Central Plains, the prairie was still an insurmountable natural danger. To conquer the prairie, many war horses were needed, which has been proven countless times by history.
It is precisely because of the existence of the northern prairie that the border troubles in the north have plagued China for thousands of years. The most successful conquering the prairie was Emperor Wu of Han, who recommended the decisive battle in the north of the Mobei planned by him. In this battle, 500,000 infantry, 100,000 elite cavalry, 140,000 official horses, and 300,000 private horses were dispatched.
Needless to say, the decisive battle in Mobei planned by Emperor Wu of Han was very successful, annihilated the main force of the Huns, severely damaged the vitality of the Huns, and never recovered. However, in the subsequent strategic pursuit stage, it was not satisfactory. The reason was that Huo Qubing, the genius young commander, suddenly passed away and there were few generals who went to war. Another very important reason was that there were few horses, and there were 140,000 official horses when they left the pass, and less than 40,000 when they came back, and the losses were very large.
It was precisely the shortage of horses that limited the war against the Huns in the late period of Emperor Wu of Han. It can be imagined that if there were enough horses, the Han army could have attacked the Huns on a large scale again. Although Huo Qubing died of general Wei Qing. Wei Qing died of illness after fourteen years of decisive battle in Mobei. If there were enough horses, the general Wei Qing could have been put on the battlefield again and attacked the Huns again, then there would not have been so many defeats in the strategic pursuit stage.
Li Jun did not ask Hulagu, but asked the horses, because Li Jun was already planning for strategic pursuit. This was a far-sighted move. Only a wise ruler with a broad mind can have such a vision. How could Qingfengzi not be moved?
"Return to the emperor, except for a few losses, we have all seized them." The European army stepped in and Dai Jiejin replied, "These horses are better than Mongolian horses. They are tall and long legs, fast and tough, and are very suitable for long-distance raids."
European Army was an excellent cavalry commander who revealed the advantages of Arabian horses in one word. Arabian horses are the breeds needed for strategic pursuit on the prairie, especially fast speed and good toughness, which is perfect for the prairie. Li Jun said happily: "That's good, that's good. These horses cannot be used, so raise them first. Without my orders, no one can move." After speaking, his tone was already quite stern.
"Your Majesty, why is this?" Jie Jin and Euro Junxing asked in the same voice. They were both excellent cavalry commanders. Of course, they understood the importance of horses to cavalry. After seizing so many good things, they wanted to use them immediately, but they did not expect that Li Jun had issued such an unreasonable order. It was no wonder that it would be impossible.
Qingfengzi stroked his beard and nodded in agreement: "The emperor is wise! Two generals don't have to be anxious. The emperor is for us to use when we march into the prairie. These horses are fast and resilient. The prairie is their paradise. If you use it now, it would be a waste."
Ou Jie and the other two were in anger and said, "The Emperor is wise!"
"We should choose a group of mares and stallions and leave them to Hu Gou, and ask him to cultivate better Arab horses. This will be of great benefit to us." Li Jun said in contemplation.
This is indeed a good idea. Only in this way can war horses be endless, inexhaustible, and inexhaustible, and the Southern Song Dynasty can have more and better war horses, so that more cavalry can be armed. With these cavalry, the mobility of the Southern Song army will be greatly improved. Not to mention a Mongolian prairie, even ten prairie will not be difficult for him.
Qingfengzi, the European army was impressed by Li Jun's move to reconcile Jin, and said: "Emperor!"
Li Jun waved his hand and said, "Why didn't General Xu bring Xulagu?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Guanghan's voice sounded, "Come on, Master!" He could hear that he was very happy. Not only did he win such a big victory, he also captured the enemy's supreme commander alive. How many times can such a victory be seen in history? Even the battle of Wei Qing defeating the Xiongnu Shanyu was just "Shanyu escaped at night" instead of capturing the Shanyu alive. It can be said that it is perfect, can you still be unhappy?
Xu Lagu pushed him in under the escort of Xu Guanghan, Zhao Qian and Dai Yuanjun. The three of them bowed to Li Jun: "I have met the emperor."
Li Jun waved his hand and said, "Forgive me, you can sit down." The three of them thanked me and sat down.
I have to admit that Xulagu is really extremely courageous. Even in this situation, he has no fear at all. His pair of tiger eyes slipped around Li Jun. After a while, he nodded and said, "You are Zhao Qi? It's true. He has a powerful and has a natural aura of a king. No wonder he can revive the dead and manage the demise of the Southern Dynasty in a vivid way."
His words were full of praise. According to his identity and Li Jun's broad mind, it would be fine to give him a seat. However, Li Jun was determined not to let Hulagu have a good time and said coldly: "My name is also something you can say? Cut the mouth!" This is to give Hulagu a warning. In fact, what Li Jun was thinking in his heart was "I am Li Jun, not Zhao Qi". The situation was like this, so I had to do it.
He hated Xulawu and Jie Jin and the others to the core. Xu Guanghan stood up rubbing his hands and stretched out his big hand and pressed it on his shoulders. Jie Jin was not willing to fall behind. He raised his hand and slapped Xulawu's cheek, making a crisp and pleasant sound.
For Hulagu, he would not frown when he killed him, and he would not scream in pain when he cut him. Only this slap made his self-esteem unable to bear it. His originally calm face suddenly turned into a pig liver color and shouted: "Zhao Qi, you are too ignorant. I, Hulagu, are also a hero after all my life, and you should add etiquette to me. Taizu destroyed Khwarezm, captured Mahamo's mother alive, and gave her a seat. You insulted heroes so much that you are worthy of your reputation as the etiquette of the Southern Dynasty." He shouted with harsh words, and he was really angry.
Genghis Khan killed countless people, and his army was the bloodiest in the entire Mongolian history. However, to be fair, he had the same mind as the sea. He would adopt it as long as it was the correct opinion. Some opinions were very unhappy, but he still adopted it. After he captured the mother of Sultan Mahamo of Khwarezm, he was not angry with her arrogant attitude and gave him a seat.
Xu Lagu roared a few times, and Jie Jin slapped him in the face a few more times, saying, "You call, you call, look at you call. If you call one word, I will slap you ten times in the face."
Xulagu was not afraid of death, and he didn't care about it even if he was cut into pieces. He was very afraid of this ordinary slap. He didn't dare to yell again after hearing this, and closed his mouth for a rare moment in his life.
Li Jun sneered: "You have also read a lot of books from us Han people. When we know that we Han people have another saying, "When we meet King Wen, we will talk to you about etiquette, and we will fight against Jie and Zhou." What else can you tell you if you are more cruel than Jie and Zhou? I heard that the horses on your grassland will stumble, and there is a way to make it bend and make him kneel down!" Li Jun was determined to humiliate Xulawu, so that he would press forward step by step.
It is said that "a real man dies while standing, not kneeling down." Xulagu has been a hero for life and has experienced countless storms and waves, but he has never kneeled down. When he hears it, he knows something is wrong. He opens his mouth and scolds Jie Jin and slapped him back into the stomach.
Xu Guanghan kicked Hulagu’s left knee, and European Junxing kicked him with a kick. Although Hulagu was stubborn, he still couldn’t help but kneel down. Zhao Qian stepped on his calves. Hulagu could no longer struggle and knelt straight on the ground.
"In your capacity, I will give you some courtesy and a seat, which is understandable." Li Jun stared at Xulagu and said majesticly: "But what you did in Zhending is even more cruel than the king of Jie and Zhou. Zhending is full of sorrow and blood is everywhere, and it is because of you. If I treat you with courtesy, it is a crime to the people, Zhending's fellow villagers will not agree, and the people of China will not agree."
After a pause, Li Jun said in a wise tone: "I want to tell you another sentence: Good will be rewarded, and evil will be rewarded. It is not that we will not be rewarded, but that time has not come. I think you know this. You have too many sins and have done so many evil deeds. I will not allow me to not repay you."
Hulagu smiled coldly and said, "Hmph, no matter you have thousands of means and thousands of vicious methods, even if you come to me Hulagu, if I Hulagu frowned, I will not be the descendant of Genghis Khan!"
This is not just a casual statement. Li Jun believes that he has such courage and nodded, "Do you want to die more? I don't let you do it. You should know what you are most afraid of? I believe that you are not afraid of death or torture that is put on you. I am a civilized person and will not use those inhuman means to impose on you. You can rest assured of this."
The more Xu Lagu heard, the more confused he became. Although he was extremely smart, he could not guess how Li Jun would deal with him. Li Jun is worthy of being a scholar who explains doubts, so he immediately gave him an answer, saying, "I want you to accept the torment of your soul first, and then slowly kill you."
For people like Hulagu who have killed millions, their hearts are like iron stone. It is a fantasy to ask him to accept the torture of his heart. He has absolute confidence in his psychological endurance and will not believe that there will be things in this world that he cannot bear psychologically. He sneered: "Genghis Khan's descendants are not afraid of any torture!"
