After resting for a while, Gu Tao's consciousness returned to his body. He opened his eyes and found it quite noisy outside. He sat up, lifted the curtain of the yurt, and stepped out to take a look, discovering many Mongolians riding horses, rushing forward.
"What's going on?"
He grabbed a Mongolian girl: "Where are they going?"
"The Song people are attacking, the Great Khan wants the tribes to prepare for battle."
The Song people are attacking... that was fast. However, Gu Tao estimated that the Song Dynasty would lose this battle, though not so quickly, and Mongolia might only achieve a Pyrrhic victory. This war would probably drag on into winter before a true victor emerges.
