Usurpation of Mongolia: My father-in-law is Genghis Khan

Chapter 97 Wanyan Chengyu vomited blood. My son was nailed to a wooden donkey?
Du Ji Sizhong ran away.

There is actually nothing wrong with his idea.

But Du Ji Sizhong would never have dreamed that his escape would bring greater losses to the Jin people.

……

Let’s not talk about Ji Sizhong, and talk about Zhao Shuo.

After nearly three hours of bloody fighting, when dawn was about to break, the 12,000 Mongolian troops finally wiped out the Wu Yue Camp and captured more than 6,000 prisoners.

As usual, we first picked out the Jurchens and left half of the strongest ones.

The remaining half became the token of surrender for the other captives.

Another 4,500 soldiers were added to Zhao Shuo's Baru camp.

In the Baru Camp alone, Zhao Shuo's troops reached more than 17,000 people.

The spoils were extremely rich.

Although the number of captured war horses was far less than that of the battle of Wusha Fort that day, as the logistics base for the front line, there were more than 5,000 mules and more than 2,000 donkeys.

There are also abundant armors, weapons, gold and silver.

There were more than 40,000 sets of armor alone. Even if Zhao Shuo only took 70%, it would be enough for him to equip all his men, including Baru Camp, with armor and still have some left over.

Of course, both armor and weapons are consumables and will be damaged in fierce warfare.

No matter how much armor and weapons Zhao Shuo has, he will never think it is too much.

The amount of gold reached 20,000 taels, and the amount of silver was 300,000 taels. I think Du Ji Sizhong was going to use it to reward the soldiers who fought bravely on the front line, and it all went to the Mongols.

What made Zhao Shuo most happy was that there were 50,000 shi of grain in Wu Yue Camp.

One stone of grain is 120 jin, and 50,000 stones is 6 million jin.

If you eat sparingly, there will be enough food for 80,000 troops for two months.

Moreover, food is a rare commodity on the grassland, so it can be considered as improving the lives of the Mongolian soldiers.

"Hahaha, Ah Shuo, you made a fortune this time that made me dizzy!"

At noon the next day, Temujin led the central army to Wusha Fort.

After listening to Zhao Shuo's report, he laughed heartily.

Hu Nan reminded him, "Actually, compared to these treasures, capturing Wusha Fort and Wuyue Camp is more important. Once we capture these two forts, the Jin Kingdom's 600-li Wusha Fort defense line will be useless."

"Yes, that's the truth. The Jin Kingdom spent countless sums of money to build the Wusha Fort defense line. But Ah Shuo took only one day and one night to defeat it. If I were the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, I would definitely hate Ah Shuo to the core, haha!"

"By the way, there are also the 16,000 soldiers from the Baru Camp..." Hu Nan reminded.

The Mongols originally viewed enemy prisoners as a burden. However, after several bloody battles with Western Xia, everyone understood the importance of the Baru Camp. Therefore, the Mongols now divided the captured prisoners into smaller groups based on the spoils of war.

Temujin waved his hand and said, "Ashuo has made such great contributions. I will not punish these 16,000 Baru camps. You can keep them all."

He was even a little worried that the Baru Camp had too many people and would take up too much of Zhao Shuo's energy, so he said, "Bo Yaohe, you will lead the troops of the Wanggu Tribe and temporarily serve under Ashuo, helping Ashuo suppress the Baru Camp."

"Yes."

Zhao Shuo helped Bo Yaohe avenge his father and brother, and was very generous in dividing the spoils. Bo Yaohe was of course willing to follow Zhao Shuo, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

Zhao Shuo was actually not too worried about Baru Camp.

First of all, the newly joined soldiers of the Baru Camp have pledged their allegiance and there is no turning back.

Secondly, the Baru Battalion was also divided into different levels. Those who had not participated in any bloody battles were the lowest class, not only receiving the worst treatment, but also charging into the front lines, suffering the highest mortality rate, and receiving the least share of the spoils.

Every time you participate in a bloody battle, you will be promoted one level, and you can reach a relatively safe position, have better living conditions, and get more spoils.

Of those who had participated in a bloody battle, one-fifth were given female slaves.

Nearly half of those who participated in the two bloody battles had female slaves.

Not only that, because of the division of the spoils, they all became wealthy.

With these people here, they are enough to keep an eye on the newly joined soldiers of the Baru Camp.

Moreover, after hearing about their treatment and knowing that there was a way out, the newly joined soldiers of the Baru Camp who had no way back had even less intention of rebelling.

Of course, it is always a good thing to let Boyaohe join his army and continue to strengthen the loyalty of this younger brother. Zhao Shuo thanked Temujin.

Then, Temujin took a closer look at Wanyan Chihu, who couldn't even make a whimper on the wooden donkey, and admired the two skull forests outside Wusha Fort and Wuyue Camp, feeling very happy.

He also ordered a banquet to celebrate the victory, and ordinary soldiers were given half a pound of wine and meat each (the Wu Yue Camp’s reserves would cover the bill anyway), and the Mongolian army was jubilant.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the Marshal's Mansion in Fuzhou City was filled with gloom and sorrow.

"Du Ji Sizhong! Because of your negligence, you first lost Wusha Fort and then lost Wu Yue Camp. Now you say these nonsense to shirk responsibility?" Wanyan Chengyu looked at Du Ji Sizhong with a look that was almost spitting fire.

Wanyan Chengyu didn't believe a single word Duji Sizhong said.

Those defeated soldiers wouldn't have rushed a hundred miles to Fuzhou to provoke Wanyan Chengyu. They would have retreated to Wuyue Camp or the Yehuling defense line. So, even though Wanyan Chengyu knew that Wusha Fort had been lost, he had no idea of ​​the specific situation on the front line.

The news brought by Du Ji Sizhong was simply like the nonsense of a man with a fever.

How could Wanyan Chengyu not know what his son was capable of?
How could he, leading 35,000 elite troops, be easily annihilated by the Mongol army? And even captured alive by Zhao Shuo? Needless to say, it was Duji Sizhong, the civil servant, who held Wanyan Chihu back and caused this defeat! As for his son's capture, it was just a rumor; it was simply impossible.

Furthermore, how could the Wuyue Camp, with its tight defenses, be breached so easily by the Mongol army? Duji Sizhong must have been afraid of the enemy, abandoned his army, and fled, concocting this story.

Therefore, he did not give Du Ji Sizhong any face and directly called Du Ji Sizhong by his name.

"Of course it's true." Du Ji Sizhong sighed and said, "Indeed, the loss of Wuyue Camp is my fault. Although, until now, I still don't understand how the Mongolian army entered Wuyue Camp. But in your son's case, many defeated soldiers escaped. I believe you will get accurate information this afternoon. Of the two hundred veterans that Zhao Shuo specially released, only about a hundred entered Wuyue Camp. You will soon be able to find someone to confront me.

Can I still tell you a lie that will be exposed in an instant?"

"so……"

What Du Ji Sizhong said makes sense!

An extremely ominous premonition surged into Wanyan Chengyu's heart.

He stared intently into Duji Sizhong's eyes and gritted his teeth, "Is what you said true?"

"It's true."

"Four thousand Jurchen warriors were beheaded by their own people?"

"Yes."

“Also, my son…my son Wanyan Chihu, he…he was indeed nailed to the wooden donkey by Zhao Shuo?” Wanyan Chengyu stammered, his voice trembling.

"Indeed!"

"Ah! Ah!"

puff!
Wanyan Chengyu screamed twice and a mouthful of blood spurted out!
