How did the courageous and shrewd Tuo Lei get poisoned to death by the design of his third brother, Wo Kuotai?

Thanks to Mr. Jin Yong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the name Tuo Lei is no stranger to the Chinese. He is the fourth son (youngest son) of Genghis Khan. He is bold and shrewd and has great military talents. After the death of Genghis Khan, his third son Ogedai succeeded to the throne and oversaw the country.

In "Shooting the Condor", Tuo Lei has the best relationship with his third brother O Kuotai, and the "kindhearted" Wo Kuotai also received Tuo Lei's full support when he became the Great Khan. But was Wokuotai in history really that kind?

The Mongolians have always had the tradition of the youngest son guarding the family business. Tuo Lei was favored by his father but gave up the fight for the throne. However, he had The vast majority of the Mongolian army, the army left by Genghis Khan consisted of 129,000 people, of which 101,000 were inherited by Tolei. At this point, it is impossible not to be jealous of Wokuotai.

In 1232, he led troops to attack the Kingdom of Jin and wiped out the elite Jin army in a battle at Sanfeng Mountain. He joined forces with Wokuotai. In the summer, he was killed on the way due to the extremely hot weather.

"Yuan History·Ruizong Biography" records Tuo Lei's intriguing cause of death: "In May, Taizong (Wokuotai) was not hesitant. In June, his illness became serious. Tuo Lei prayed to heaven and earth, please use his body to take his place, and he also used witchcraft After drinking the water to cure the illness, Taizong stayed there for a few days. He dragged Lei back from the north to the place where A Lahe was thinking, and died of illness."

It seems that. Tuo Lei cherished his brother, took the initiative to pray for his brother, and drank the water used by the wizard to wash away the disease. He fell ill and died after returning to the north. As for whether his illness was related to drinking the "water to cleanse the disease", it is unclear. And know.

Judging from the "Secret History of Mongolia", Ogedai was just "speechless" and sad. When the wizard was doing the divination, he suddenly was able to speak again, and the key point was when he spoke: "The people around me are Who is the sect king?" This was a question knowingly. At that time, apart from Tuo Lei, there was no other sect king in the big tent! All of this was obviously just a play performed by Wo Kuotai under the instructions of the wizard.

A perfect play. Tuo Lei was just a victim of this drama, so once Tuo Lei died, Wokuotai was miraculously cured of his "illness".
