Chapter 1270 – War of Tibet Is Over
Mongol Empire, Karakorum.
After he received the letter from the Great Xia Honglu Temple questioning the matter, Genghis Khan panicked for the first time.
"Rebel son, rebel son!"
Obviously, Ogedai was behind this, and his goal was to destroy the peace talks between the Mongol Empire and Great Xia to stabilize his position. In the end, Ogedai was not willing to listen to his brother, Tolei.
As a mighty lord in history, this was his pride.
Furthermore, in history, Tolei was killed with poison because Ogedai was wary of him. Who could ensure that Tolei would not take revenge on him once he ascended?
Moreover, as a mighty lord that grew up on the grassland, he was not willing to bow down to Great Xia. Doing so would be a huge humiliation to Ogedai and was something that he could not accept.
Not only Ogedai, but many other Mongolians also had similar feelings, especially the generals in the army.
After a short while, Mongol Chancellor Yelu Chucai was summoned.
"How do you think we should deal with this matter?" Genghis Khan asked.
This was a tough question for Yelu Chucai, and he hesitated before saying, "From the tone of Great Xia, the so-called 'give an explanation' would at least require sending the 3rd prince to the imperial capital for Great Xia to deal with."
Genghis Khan's expression turned ugly. Actually, he knew what explanation Great Xia wanted. However, Yelu Chucai saying it outright made him feel a sense of humiliation.
"We cannot do that." Genghis Khan shook his head.
Ogedai's authority and prestige in the Mongol Empire was only less than Genghis Khan's. If the Mongol Empire truly handed Ogedai over, the entire Mongol race would not be able to raise their heads in the future.
"That's right." Yelu Chucai nodded before adding, "I heard that many generals hate Great Xia. If we really order the capture of the 3rd prince, the army would end up in chaos."
"That's why it's difficult." Genghis Khan's brows were locked tight, and he could not help but scold, "This rebel!"
Ogedai's actions forced Genghis Khan onto the back foot. It would not be too farfetched to say that his actions had pushed the entire empire to the edge of a cliff. One side was peace, and the other side was hell.
"Do you have any good plans?" Genghis Khan asked with hope.
Hearing that, Yelu Chucai knelt onto the ground and said in shame, "I should die; I'm unable to help you share your worries!" In front of absolute power, sometimes not having a solution had nothing to do with intelligence.
Genghis Khan asked, "Can we make it so that Great Xia gives us a chance and hand over a border general to take the blame?"
Apart from Ogedai himself, Bo'er Shu and Chi Laowen also defended the House of Ogedai. More specifically, the one in charge of the south border was Bo'er Shu.
Not only was he the head of the four heroes, but he was also Genghis Khan's playmate from when he was young.
The meaning within Genghis Khan's words were clear. He was willing to sacrifice Bo'er Shu in return for forgiveness from Great Xia to tide past this calamity. Thinking about this, Yelu Chucai felt a cold sweat from his palms.
"We can give it a try." Yelu Chucai tried his best to calm himself down.
Genghis Khan nodded his head in satisfaction and said, "Then go do it!"
"Yes, my king!"
Yelu Chucai turned around and left. His footsteps were really empty and soulless.
Genghis Khan looked at Yelu Chucai's back, his eyes shining with a cold glimmer.
...
The so-called explanation from the Mongol Empire was unable to satisfy Ouyang Shuo.
The Wang father and son duo were not just the generals of the right wing. They were also generals that Ouyang Shuo held in high regard. He was prepared to give them important appointments after the war of Tibet's conclusion, and he did not want anything to happen to them.
If Ogedai's selfishness caused Wang Ben to die and Wang Jian to be unhappy with the Empire, how could killing one Bo'er Shu account for that?
The Mongols cared about Bo'er Shu but Ouyang Shuo did not.
Ouyang Shuo said expressionlessly, "Shelve this matter; do not reveal any animosity."
"Understood!"
Zhang Yi, who was in charge of spreading the word, fell deep into thought.
...
Although he was not willing to see it happen, tragedy still struck in the end.
10th month, 27th day, before Wang Jian's right wing could arrive, the remaining Wang Ben forces were surrounded by the Ashoka Dynasty army. None of them could survive, and the whole army was in trouble.
Wang Ben did not want to be captured and killed himself on the spot.
When Wang Jian heard the news, he was filled with pain. It was like he had gone mad. He led his troops to launch a fearless assault on the Ashoka Dynasty army, starting a slaughter in the core area of Tibet.
The current Qin army had the aura of the one that wiped out the six countries in history.
When Li Jing received the news, he sighed and ordered the left wing to prepare to assist the right. He ordered them to not let Wang Jian be in danger. If not, Li Jing would not be able to answer to the king.
Under the crazy assault of the left and right wings of Great Xia, the Tibetan core region was lost.
That was it. Wang Jian led his troops to charge until the west border of Tibet. After claiming the corpse of Wang Jian, he cut off the retreat path of the Ashoka Dynasty army.
If it were not that shred of sense left in him, Wang Jian would have led his troops to take down the castle to take revenge for Wang Ben.
11th month, 3rd day, the middle army and the middle protector army finally took down Lhasa City. At this point, the Tibet battlefield was under Great Xia's control.
The despairing Ashoka Dynasty army could only surrender.
According to the post war tabulations, after two and a half months of fighting, apart from those that died in battle, 750 thousand of the two million Ashoka Dynasty troops had surrendered. Apart from that, there were also 250 thousand Tibetan troops.
At this point, the Ashoka Dynasty went from its peak of 4.5 million soldiers to 2.5 million, causing its strength to drop sharply. In the future, not to mention expanding, but even its position in India was on the verge of being lost.
When they heard the news, Peacock and Gupta dynasties were so delighted that they could not stop smiling.
Pretty much at the same time as the Tibet war ended, the Peacock and Gupta dynasties troops that were ready to go launched their attacks on the Ashoka Dynasty.
India welcomed its most large-scale internal war in history.
After this war, the India Region would have a reshuffling of cards.
Although they emerged victorious in the war of Tibet, Great Xia had also paid a heavy price. Out of the two million troops, only 1.3 million survived.
Amongst the armies, the right wing lost the most. Only 250 thousand of them remained, close to half dying. A crazy Wang Jian was simply terrifying.
Apart from the 70 thousand Wang Ben troops, the latest casualties of the right wing came from when Wang Jian led them west. The crazy Wang Jian did not care about sacrifices when he fought.
The Tibet battlefield was a true meat grinder.
Fortunately, the surviving 1.3 million troops had finally grown through this war. Placing them in any other dynasty, they could surely act as elites.
Helplessly, Great Xia was currently having their largest scale disarmament, and they did not have space for 1.3 million troops.
How to arrange them had already been decided.
The moment he learned of Wang Ben's death, Wang Jian could not suppress the pain and sadness in his heart. He directly sent a memorial to Ouyang Shuo and pleaded, "I have no other requests. I only hope to attack the House of Ogedai. As long as you agree to my request, I'm willing to be loyal to the Empire till death."
Since Wang Jian had already said that, what more could Ouyang Shuo say?
Genghis Khan's half-heartedness made Ouyang Shuo really unhappy, and he intended to deal with the Mongol Empire. Once Wang Ben died, he made up his mind.
Wasn't Wang Jian's letter the best chance for Ouyang Shuo to earn his loyalty? If he could make a God General like Wang Jian loyally serve the Empire, it would be more worth it than anything.
Ouyang Shuo pretty much did not hesitate and agreed with Wang Jian's battle plan.
