On July 17, the first year of Shaoxi, the sun was almost noon, baking the earth with a vicious spirit. The green grassland seemed dying under the sun. A breeze blew, and I couldn't feel the coolness at all. I could only feel a wave of heat coming, making people feel like they were in a steamer.

The hats cast from Yifa City, which were similar to Fan Yangli, could not provide any cool feeling for Ye Qing and the others. The smoke and dust that had not yet dissipated after the large troops of Sun God and others passed by, Ye Qing and Mu Huali, who were following far behind, ate a stomach full of dry dust.

The two huge water bags hanging on their hunchbacks have been used by them in less than half a day.

"We have to save a little bit, so as not to be able to hold on to K Manchester City, and we both die of thirst first." Ye Qing held the heavy water bag and hugged it in his arms and said.

At this time, nothing was more precious than water. Although a small leaf river and an Amu River flowed through the grassland next door, strangely, this place is still a water-deficient area. Unless you continue to go east and arrive at KM City, you can find the main channel of the small leaf river and get water supply there.

Before this, the only source of water for the two of them was most of the bag of water that they hugged each other in their arms to cool down.

Sitting on the hunchback with bumpy hunchbacks is obviously not as comfortable as when sitting on the horse's back. Whether it is the camel's steps or posture, the ups and downs are greater when walking, so riding a camel for a long time is actually much more tiring than riding a horse.

"Do you think we have a chance?" Mu Huali raised his head halfway, then gave up looking at the sun that was about to rise above his head. The hot grassland was like a huge steamer. The heat and dryness brought by the breeze made them feel like a ball of fire was stuck in their throats at this moment.

With the ups and downs of the hunchback, Ye Qing could even feel the cunt sound of water in his stomach. The hot weather made them have to drink water constantly, but now their stomachs are so bloated that they can't drink water anymore, but the feeling of hot and thirst is still extremely strong.

He swallowed his saliva and moistened his throat. He put his hand on a pergola and looked at the invisible team in front of him. Ye Qing murmured: "No matter what, we must try it. If we can make a difference in Khwazm City, then it will be much smoother for Temujin to attack Khwazm. The original chance of winning of 55 will become 70% or 80% of winning at that time. In this way... it will be a hearty victory."

Ye Qing said while looking at the watch on his wrist from time to time, and then silently calculating the time in his heart. In addition, Mu Huali, a subordinate who had followed Temujin for many years, Ye Qing had already vaguely predicted that if there were no major accidents, Temujin would probably sound the attack horn of the Khwarezmian camp before the sun sets today, when the Sun God moves into Keman City, he will blow the attack horn against the Khwarezmians with 50,000 or 60,000 troops.

At that time, if there were some accidents in Khwazm City, it would have been a devastating blow to the people who struggled to resist Temujin's Khwazm. In this way, once the camp collapsed and the accidents in Khwazm City, Khwazm and Marhan would basically have less than half of the threat. The remaining troops would probably be difficult to resist Temujin's cavalry sweeping like the wind.

"So no matter what, after we arrived at Kman, we could only stop and wait for Temujin's army. If we go to Marhan or to the direction of the Khwarezmian camp, after all, once the war begins, and the vast grasslands and Gobi are fighting everywhere, the chances of us losing contact with them will be too high, and it is not impossible to get completely separated." Ye Qing leaned on the hump, and as the hump rolled, his chin was knocked up from time to time because of his words, but even so, the hot noon was rushing to the road, which made him choose to rather hurt his chin than straighten his waist and sit upright.

Mu Huali nodded silently. He came from the grassland, so he naturally knew more about the terrible consequences of his troops once he was separated from his troops on the grassland.

Ye Qing has tried his best to talk about the benefits. After all, once the two sides start a war, they are in the hinterland of the enemy, so the chance of meeting the enemy is far greater than meeting their own people. So once that time comes, they will kill the defeated army with red eyes, but they will never care who they are. In order to escape, they are much braver than resisting the enemy head-on.

When Temujin fought against the Tatar tribe, it was because he was separated from the army that he was the only one who was Mu Huali and Borshu. In the cold weather that was in the wind and snow, the direction was unrecognizable, the three of them were as weak as ants in front of nature. It took them nearly ten days to avoid several groups of enemies, and even a small group of their own people to find the army to join them.

When the large army of thousands of Sun Gods in front of him stopped to repair, Ye Qing and the others would avoid them from afar and hide under the hills to wait. At this time, the thousands of Sun Gods would also send scouts behind him to beware of someone following them.

So several times Ye Qing and Mu Huali had great opportunities to kill the closest scouts, but they both dared not take action, fearing that once the Sun God's army found that the scouts were missing, they would launch a larger area of ​​scouts to investigate.

What's more, since the two days since Ifa City set out, the Sun God and others were still wary of the matter on that night in Yifa City. Not only did they rush the road a lot slower, but they also saw more and more scouts along the way, and they were as dense as the flocks of cattle and sheep encountered on the grassland. They could only let Ye Qing and Mu Huali dragged them far behind and dared not move forward at all.

After the most difficult time in the hot summer, the most difficult time, the time of the hot summer, the earth that was scorched by the sun for a day after entering the hour of You, began to slowly regain its vitality. The long day and the short nights made the day lengthen and the time when the sun burned the ground was also lengthened. Therefore, when the sun was already setting in the Central Plains, the sunlight here was still hanging high in the air and was reluctant to set for a long time.

The yellowish Kerman city wall was already in Ye Qing and the others' sight. In the distance of the horizon, a large number of soldiers appeared in the vague Kerman city, rushing towards the Sun God. A grand ceremony to welcome the Sun God was finally held before the sun was about to set. Ye Qing and Mu Huali had already hid behind from a distance and slept in a daze for a short sleep.

Mu Huali quietly woke Ye Qing, who was closing his eyes to rest under the heat wave, pointed to the blurry figures in the distance, and said, "The lengthy welcome ceremony has ended. It seems that there is no movement in the camp yet. Is it too late for the big kids?"

"I don't think it's too late. What I'm worried about is whether the four scouts we put back in succession can reach the front of the army. If we can go back, Temujin will definitely attack the Khwarezm camp before the sun sets. After all, aren't you Tatars the best at fighting at this time?" Ye Qing said as he yawned and stretched.

"How do you know that Dahan likes to fight at this time?" Mu Huali asked with a smile on his lips.

"When the sun sets and the birds return to their nests, animals will instinctively relax their vigilance, let alone humans who have been working hard for a day? Even if someone can force themselves to cheer up, it is more of a formality. So at this time, for you, who are mainly fighting annihilation wars, how could you miss this great opportunity?" The camel kneeling on the ground rested moved slightly when Ye Qing walked to the side. Then, after Ye Qing sat up, he began to slowly get up, ruminated on the "her own dry food" in the camel, and then slowly continued to walk towards Kerman City.

"Sir, you know us Tatars very well, which makes Mo Jiang feel uneasy." Mu Huali stood up with the camel and said with a smile on his hunchback.

"Today's siege war is a weakness for you, and annihilation war is a strength for you, so... I hope we won't become enemies in the future." Ye Qing turned his head and smiled.

The Southern Song Dynasty was able to resist intermittently for half a century under the powerful Mongolian cavalry, not because of how powerful the military was, but because it relied on the advantages of the terrain and city that it was able to fight the Tatars for half a century of tug-of-war.

As for what the later generations of bricks said, the so-called Southern Song army was not weak, and it was the dynasty that had resisted the Tatars for the longest time. But you don’t even look at it. How many decent cities could the Tatars encounter along the way? How many can they be as good as Xiangyang and Diaoyu City?

The Liao Kingdom was vulnerable and had no "city" to defend. The Jin Kingdom was not so devastated by the Tatars, but rather the siege of the Song people to eliminate the siege battles that the Tatars feared the most, so that the Tatars could destroy the Jin Dynasty in a smooth manner.

As for Xia Kingdom, Temujin gnawed this bone for a lifetime, and finally managed to take over his life.

The factors of victory and failure in the war are never single, while attacking and defending the city are definitely the strengths of the Song people and the weaknesses of the Tatars.

What's more, after the Tatars and Song jointly destroyed the Jin Dynasty, as the Tatars army retreated north, the Song people also thought of taking the opportunity to recover Tokyo, Luoyang, and Yingtian Prefecture, Nanjing at that time, but they did not meet their wishes. In addition to the lack of food and grass, the Song people attacked the city, but the Tatars opened up the tactics of ambushing the city. They did not attack and defend with the Song people, but attacked the Song army in ambush halfway, and once again put their annihilation war tactics to the extreme.

"Mr. Ye has a good personal relationship with the Emperor of Jin?" Mu Huali was still half a camel behind Ye Qing's position and asked with a smile again.

"Yes, when I was on the Jin Dynasty, I had been with Wanyan Jing for half a year, so I thanked the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty that I never forgot my husband." Ye Qing said with a frank smile.

"There is a deep blood hatred between the Jin people and us Tatars. The Khan has never forgotten it. The warriors of us Tatars also hope that one day they can make the Jin people pay back their blood debts." Mu Huali looked at Ye Qing with a calm expression under Fan Yangli, paused and continued, "I guess there is no need to say more about the hatred between the Song court and the Jin people. He is an important minister of the Song court. Haven't he thought of avenging the emperor?"

"Of course, I want to recover the territory I lost in the Song Dynasty. But... we also need to have a better memory. We cannot always heal the scars and forget the pain." Ye Qing smiled and looked at Mu Huali with confusion, and continued: "I was in the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty to fight against Liao, but in the end I led the wolf into the house. Not only did I not get the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun who was thinking about day and night, but I also took on the shame of being captured by the Two Saints. So, Song Ting no longer easily joined forces with others. He always had no peace of mind to rely on others, right?"

"But sir, have you forgotten that we are now under your suggestion that we have today's battle to help Liao fight against the Khwarezm people. You said so now, is it suspected of destroying bridges across the river?" Mu Huali's expression gradually became a little serious.

"Nothing in this world is forever, but national justice must be maintained forever. After the Great Liao and stepping into the territory of the Khwarezmians, have you not discovered that whether it is Liao, Xia, Jin, you, or I, the Song Dynasty, are all incompatible with this place? We have an oriental appearance, and they are completely different from us in appearance. Can you regard them as similar? You will not be surprised by the humanities you see in Xia, Liao, Jin, Song, etc., as if you have arrived in another world that is completely different. But when you were in Kman, Ifa, and Marhan, you often dumbfounded. Can't you explain the problem?"

"I, Ye Qing and you, Mu Huali, are from two different dynasties, but it is undeniable that the orthodox culture of the Central Plains has influenced you and me, and they are all things that flow into our blood. The so-called same-text and same-text are the same-text and inheritance, which are our common characteristics. People will satirize you barbarians on the grassland who eat raw meat and drink blood for the blood, but what happened on the grassland, the blood and tears that have been immersed in the grassland have long been carved into our bones and integrated into our bloodlines with the inheritance of generations. The real history that has happened will not deceive, and the blood and tears of generations on the grassland, and the things that have been passed down will not deceive. There are many differences between us, but don't forget that the grassland and the Central Plains have always been closely related, and blood is connected. Although there are often wars,... the kind of things that are invisible and intangible in the same-text and invisible are always between us."

Ye Qing looked at the low yellow earth-yellow walls of Kman City in front of him, and sighed and continued: "Seeking common ground while reserving differences, but it will never affect the righteousness of the Chinese nation. Otherwise, with your Khan's wisdom, would you be easily moved by me, and then willingly come to the Great Liao and fight against the Khwarezmians?"

"If this is the case, Lord Ye should join forces with Khan, and then we will conquer this world together? You can't stand Qiu Chuji Xianchang, but I feel that you don't look down on the Sun God who pretends to be a ghost, so why can't we erase them from this territory, let our common people take root and sprout here, and let the righteousness, force and dignity of our Chinese nation be further expanded?" Mu Huali said with a frown.

Ye Qing turned around and looked at Mu Huali in surprise. He wanted to win him over before, but he didn't expect that he would turn around now, and he began to win over him.

"What then?" Ye Qing asked with a smile.

Because the Sun God entered the city, the city gate was crowded with people waiting to enter the city. While Ye Qing and Mu Huali were waiting to enter the city, there were already several caravans in the long queue ahead, and they were beaten and kicked by the city gate guards, not allowed to enter Kerman City tonight.

"I know that to the east is an endless sea, and there is a small island country, and to the west..." Mu Huali slowly looked at the gradually declining golden afterglow in the west, and said with a look of yearning: "But to the west, we still have unknown territory. If we can defeat the Khwarezmians, why can't we keep going west until we see the sea again?"

Ye Qingran was silent. Compared to Mu Huali's bravery in facing the world, he suddenly felt that his situation seemed a little small. When he was already focusing on the world, he was still complacent about the righteousness of the nation.

Although the two are different and cannot be compared with each other, Ye Qing also has to convince. At this time, the spirit of the people on the grassland for exploration of the world has become more and more courageous as their force increases.

So who is right and who is wrong? Or is it all right or... it's all wrong?

So is it Confucianism that shackles the Central Plains' exploration of the world, or does the grassland destroy the advanced civilization of the Central Plains?

So, during this period, which is right and wrong, the grassland or the Central Plains?
