Usurping the Mongols: My Father-in-Law is Genghis Khan

Although Zhao Shuo had arrived at the royal court and met Hua Zheng and her son, he still did not return to his fief, the Hulunbuir Grassland.

This was because Temujin's mother, Hua Zheng's grandmother, Hoelun, was seriously ill and probably wouldn't live much longer.

In the history without Zhao Shuo, Hasaer was involved in the Koko Chu rebellion, not only alienated by Temujin, but also secretly deprived of most of his tribesmen by Temujin. Hoelun was helpless about all this, felt depressed, and soon passed away.

But in Zhao Shuo's changed history, Hoelun miraculously lived for more than a year, until now when she gradually reached the end of her life.

Zhao Shuo couldn't do much about it, so he had to take turns with the members of the Golden Family to take care of the old lady, and according to Mongolian customs, pray to the Eternal Heaven for her.

Another month passed, and Hoelun passed away.

"Quick! Take my big red wedding dress... and exchange it for two ewes!"

This was the last sentence Hoelun said, holding Temujin's hand, before she died.

Her memory seemed to have returned to thirty-seven years ago, to the moment when Temujin's father, Yesugei, was poisoned by his arch-enemy, and the mother and children were abandoned by their tribesmen, panicking and helpless in the wilderness.

"Mother!"

Temujin held his mother's hand and cried like never before.

He was crying for his kind and strong mother, and also crying for the bits and pieces of the difficult rise of the mother and children on the grassland.

The funeral lasted for nine days and nine nights.

Temujin also didn't sleep well for nine days and nine nights.

When he finally helped his mother's coffin to be buried deep in Burkhan Khaldun, Temujin's gray-blue eyes were bloodshot, and his temper was as irritable as a hungry lion.

It was also at this time that Bo'erhu's men brought back Bo'erhu's body.

He still couldn't escape the arrangement of fate. He was ambushed by the Tumed people and shot in the neck with an arrow, taking his life.

"Mother has just been summoned by the Eternal Heaven, and her adopted son, Bo'erhu, has passed away! Tell me! How exactly did Bo'erhu die? Why are you still alive?" The always calm and generous Temujin showed signs of shifting his anger.

Bo'erhu's deputy general, Bu Ergu'er, quickly knelt down and reported, "Actually, before the departure, Bo'erhu Qianhu was reminded by Zhao Shuo, the consort, to be careful. However, some trees in the mountains and forests are too tall, which can completely block the sunlight. When we marched, it was bright and dark, and we were still ambushed by the Tumed people without paying attention.

At that time, the warriors fought bravely and tried their best to protect Bo'erhu Qianhu's safety.

But suddenly an arrow shot from a very far distance..."

Speaking of this, Bu Ergu'er's pupils suddenly contracted, as if he saw the incredible arrow of death again, and said, "That arrow came through the wind from at least two hundred steps away, faster than a gray wolf preying! It pierced Bo'erhu's throat with one arrow, and the warriors couldn't rescue him at all."

The old shaman Wu Sun said, "It is said that Uleji, the ancestor of the Tumed, saw a thousand-year-old tiger-striped birch tree split into nine sections by thunder and fire, and each section of the annual ring was in the shape of a war bow. Therefore, he used the ice lake as an anvil and lightning as a hammer, and took the thunder-struck wood core and soaked it in the fat blood of the zhe Luo salmon king for three years to make a precious bow, named Uleji Tengri's Bow."

"Uleji Tengge Zhi Gong, meaning the bow blessed by the gods?" Zhao Shuo asked.

The old man Wu Sun said, "That's what it means. However, the Tumed people simply call it U Teng Bow. It is said that this bow has a range of three hundred steps, and it can still pierce heavy armor beyond a hundred steps. Bo'erhu was probably hit by a cold arrow fired from this U Teng Bow."

Temujin snorted and said, "I don't care what the bow blessed by the gods or the U Teng Bow is. All I know is that my adopted brother, my mother's adopted son, Bo'erhu, was killed by the Tumed people! I will personally lead an expedition to pacify the Tumed people and avenge Bo'erhu!"

"Great Khan, you can't!"

"Send me!"

...

Temujin's words set off a thousand waves, and the generals asked to fight.

Surchi even said, "I was the one who pacified the forest people in the first place, so let me go this time! Pacifying the Tumed people should not take much effort."

Temujin shook his head slightly and said, "Surchi, you can't go. Last time, when your army approached the border, the forest people, including the Tumed people, felt that surrendering to you would not be too bad, so it was so easy for you to conquer them. Now, Ho'erchi's boldness has completely angered the Tumed people. They have just killed Bo'erhu and forged a bloody feud with us, so how can they be willing to surrender?"

"Then the Great Khan can't go either." Hu Nan firmly interjected, "Genghis Khan is the Khan of the entire grassland. If pacifying the small Tumed people requires a personal expedition, then that is telling the people of the world that the Great Mongolian Empire is without a leader, and the pack of dogs can't even dig out a rabbit hole!"

Old Hu Nan's last words finally moved Temujin.

He thought for a while and said, "Forget it! Since you are all so insistent, I will not go on a personal expedition. Then..."

Temujin looked around and finally felt that sending Zhao Shuo was the safest option, and said, "A Shuo, you take your ten thousand-man team. Subutai and Zhebie, you take your thousand-man teams and temporarily belong to A Shuo's command and go on the expedition together!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Shuo, Subutai, and Zhebie agreed loudly.

Temujin continued to order: "In addition, Hua Zheng is still in the royal court. Once the battle starts, whether it is a victory or a defeat, A Shuo must send the Jade Claw Divine Eagle to the royal court as soon as possible to report the battle report to me!"

"Yes!"

The newest novel is available at six 9 books dot com, first published!

Sending out Zhao Shuo, the number one general under his command, and Subutai and Zhebie, two of the four hounds, and letting the Jade Claw Divine Eagle report the news at any time.

It seems that Temujin really values the Tumed people very much and is determined to win.

Seven days later, the Hulunbuir Grassland.

Dong dong dong~~

The rumbling sound of war drums sounded, and Zhao Shuo beat the drums to gather the generals for the first time since he was promoted to Wanhu.

In the central army tent, Zhao Shuo's subordinates were all present.

The first Qianhu leader, Zhao Shuo's Anda Ge Rile.

The second Qianhu leader, the good runner Altaner.

The third Qianhu leader, the old general Su He.

The commander of the Black Cavalry, Heda He Batu'er.

The Qianhu of the Flying Eagle Army, Hairige.

The military judge, Balu camp commander Mo Chi Bie Du Wen.

The chief of the craftsmen, Sun Wei.

The five hereditary Qianhu leaders under Zhao Shuo's jurisdiction: Wu Du Tai, Mo Luo He, Duo Li Bu He, Ta Ma Chi, Duo Er Bo Duo He Shen.

Subutai and Zhebie, two of the four hounds temporarily transferred to Zhao Shuo's command by Temujin.

Zhao Shuo directly got to the point and said, "You all know why I summoned you here today, right? Genghis Khan ordered this consort to lead ten thousand of his troops to attack the Tumed people in the mountains and forests. How should this battle be fought? Let's discuss it."

"The Tumed people are hiding in the deep mountains and dense forests. Why don't we just set a fire to burn them to death? How about that?" Heda He Batu'er shook his big black head and said.

"Smart! Really smart!"

Mo Chi Bie Du Wen's stinky mouth couldn't bear the loneliness again, and he sneered, "A fire will not only burn all the Tumed people to death, but also burn our Mongolian Wanhu leader Ho'erchi to death, and burn Genghis Khan's Anda Hu Du He to death. Let Hu Du He's son—Consort A Leci—fight our consort desperately! How wonderful!

Injuring the enemy by eight hundred and losing one's own by ten thousand, how did your head grow, Heda He Batu'er? How can you be so smart?"
