The Law of Sighs –

A strong neighing of horses sounded, and immediately a knight flew down without waiting for his horse to stop completely.

Two men in leather armor were snatched out from the left and right, one stepped forward to catch the reins of the horse, and the other looked at the people, faintly blocking the way.

"I want to see Tabu, there's an urgent military situation!" said the knight, gasping slightly.

The man who blocked the road looked stunned, and said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute, let me report it." With that, he motioned for the knight to stand aside, and turned and walked into the big tent behind him.

Inside the big tent, the fire sieve was high, and in his hand he held a silver knife inlaid with precious stones, cut the fat and tender roast meat from a roasted golden and oily lamb, and sent it into his mouth with a twist of his wrist, and in an instant the rich meat juice soaked his mouth, making him squint his eyes pleasantly.

At the next place, a group of commanders and centurions also eat meat in large pieces and drink wine in large bowls, calling five and drinking six, so it is not lively.

It's been nearly a month since I came to this Daming Pass, but those Ming people are cowering in the city like timid voles, and they don't even dare to come over to talk. Everyone went to the gate every once in a while to show off their might, wantonly ridiculed and insulted, and then came back to drink wine and eat meat.

The only pity is that after the war, the border pass, there is no longer a village of the Ming people outside the pass. Without the village, there would be no people, and there would be no beautiful girls, which made the Mongolian warriors a lot less fun.

A few cruel people got a little carried away, forgot the original intention of coming here, and instigated several times to simply bypass the pass and plunder directly to the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Fortunately, the fire sieve did not lose its mind and always kept a clear head. He clearly remembered Dayan Khan's instructions when he came: it can be deterred and threatened, but it must not delay the trade between the two sides.

Nowadays, all the departments of the grassland have accumulated a large amount of wool, not to mention the great interests involved, but the smell of more and more wool is unbearable. If you miss this deal again, you will have to wait until after the spring of next year.

If this is the case, the various ministries will have a headache this winter. Not to mention, even those nobles who have long known the inside story will never let them go.

Therefore, in fact, in the past few days, the fire screen has begun to consider whether it is possible to stop this kind of intimidation and intimidation. After nearly a month of shock, he has somewhat dissipated the depression of the past. Then, to get things back on the right track, and to grab benefits for the grassland this morning, it should be on the agenda.

And if you wait any longer, I'm afraid that the gang below will not be able to bear it. It would be an absolute torture to let the goshawk see the fat rabbit in front of him, but not be able to go down to hunt. The southerners are weak, and they are not even as good as rabbits. Today's Ming Dynasty is no longer as brave and invincible as their ancestors a hundred years ago, and it is time for the Tatar warriors to rise again and occupy the prosperous land of the Central Plains.

But the Great Khan didn't seem to be in a hurry, and he had to engage in this bullshit deal first, which was really depressing.

The fire sieve can vaguely guess some clues, and the intention of the Great Khan is not to first go north and then south, first difficult and then easy. In comparison, the Yismain in the west is the elbow and armpit problem, as long as you can concentrate on destroying the Yismain in one sentence, the entire grassland can be completely unified.

Yes, that is unity in the true sense of the word! As long as the entire steppe becomes a whole, and the strength is used in one place, under the leadership of the wise monarch, the great cause of the former sandalwood acacia and Genghis Khan will not be unexpected.

The Great Khan was willing to condescend to trade with the Ming Dynasty, in addition to concentrating on the first destruction of Yismain, I am afraid that he also had the intention of confusing the Ming Dynasty. The southerners are so luxurious, greedy for pleasure, and forgetful of profit and righteousness, once they feel that Mongolia is no longer a threat, they will definitely be happy and relaxed.

At that time, the horses will be put into Nanshan, the knives and guns will be put into storage, and the combat power will be almost negligible. When the time comes, after the steppe army has conquered the west in one fell swoop, it will be able to go down with one blow with the power of a great victory. Isn't the current deal going to be in the hands of Mongolia? And it's the kind that has been completely built.

Brilliant plan, what a clever plan. The fire sieve tilted his head and poured a sip of spirits, thinking about the pomp and circumstance of the time, and his heart couldn't help but heat up.

"Report! Tabu Bag, there is a military situation in the south. As soon as the curtain of the tent was raised, a guard walked in, bent down and stroked his chest.

After a pause, he instantly came back to his senses from his conjecture, glanced at the people who were gradually quieting down, and said indifferently: "Call in." ”

The guard said yes and turned to open the curtain. The knight who had been waiting outside the door for a long time strode in, knelt on one leg and stroked his chest and saluted: "The villain has seen Tabu Bag, and my master asked the villain to ask Tabu Bag how he is okay." ”

Huo Sieve's eyes narrowed slightly, looked him up and down, nodded, and said, "Are you from over there?" Hmm, let's say, what news did your master bring me? ”

The knight glanced up at everyone in the tent, a look of hesitation on his face.

Huo Sieve snorted and said coldly: "Although it is said, all the henchmen here are Ben Khan's henchmen, and there are no outsiders." ”

The knight replied, and then hugged his fists and said: "Back to Tabuang, the Ming Dynasty has sent a large army, and it will come soon." The leader was Su Mo, the deputy envoy of the former envoy to Mongolia, and many princes and princes accompanied him. My master said that this matter may be considered for some time, and the opportunity must not be lost. ”

As soon as these words came out, a needle suddenly fell in the big tent, and there was silence. Huo Sieve's eyes also opened suddenly, and a flush flashed on his face.

He invaded the south many times and never lost a single one. The only time he hit a wall was to suffer a small loss at the hands of Su Mo.

But in his mind, that defeat was a crime of non-war at all. Who let that kid go out of his shit luck, and he just caught up with the rare wolves, so that he had to retreat with hatred? If it was really face-to-face, he believed that it would not take half a day to crush that kid into powder.

"Taboo, let's do it! That's all fat. I didn't need to do it myself, but with a thousand sons from my headquarters, I went to get the head of the dog. ”

"Phew, why do you want to go? Pay a thousand sons, a certain family does not need it, those soft eggs like lambs, a certain only five hundred people are enough. Tabu Bag, please let a certain family go, if not, but take a certain head!"

"Tabu Bag, let me go, let me go......"

"Phew, Shi Litan, you dare to fight with me! Go outside and divide up and down......"

"I'm afraid you won't make it, come and come......"

Below, after the initial silence, there was a sudden commotion. A group of thousand-suppers and hundred-suckers asked for battle, and they were so anxious that they wanted to fight first.

Bang!

A golden cup was slammed to the ground with a loud thud.

"Shut up!" said the fire sieve with an angry face, glaring at the crowd below.

The quarrel of the crowd stopped abruptly, and they suddenly came to their senses. If anyone hates Na Su Mo the most, I'm afraid it's not his own Tabu bag. Everyone is fighting for the law like this, isn't it a chance to grab the Tabu bag to get angry?

It is said that the leader of his family is not a good-tempered master, not only is he not good-tempered, but he has to be very cruel. This is going to be hated by him, and if it's not good, it's really going to lose his head.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but shudder, and they all shrank their necks back in an instant.

The fire sieve glanced around hatefully, looking at the expressions of these people in his eyes, where could he not understand their thoughts. It's just that these brainless rammers, how do they know about their plans and those of Dayan Khan? Anyway, they are only worthy of wielding their swords to cut off the enemy's head, and there is no need to think about anything else.

Thinking like this, my heart calmed down a little. Turning around and sitting down again, he asked the person who came to report the news: "You just said that Su Mo came with a large army? How many people are this army? What is his intention here?"

As soon as these words came out, all the commanders below were stunned. They looked at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Why is it so strange to ask your own Tabu Bag? Of course, the opponent is going to fight, what is the intention? Is it possible that he is still here to be friends with us...... Alas, no!

A few of them had their brains spinning quickly, and suddenly they remembered something, and their faces suddenly became wonderful. Isn't it really possible to make friends, everyone came here this time not to start a war, but to put pressure on the Ming Dynasty, in order to take advantage of the upcoming trade. But these days are too comfortable, I actually forgot about this stubble, one by two shouted that they wanted to fight and kill, but it was not contrary to the original intention, no wonder Tabu was angry.

“…… There are 3,000 forbidden troops, more than 10,000 laborers, and then there are servants and guards from various families, and the total number is about 10,000...... "The people who came pointed at each other and counted them one by one, and explained the details of the Ming army clearly.

The fire sieve listened quietly, his eyes flickering, and he thought about it.

It's night.

Less than twenty miles away from the Mongol military camp, a small camp of about 100 people was built in a small col sheltered from the wind.

As can be seen from the layout of the camp and the various flags, it is a place where merchants gather. At this time, only these merchants were allowed to stay so close to the barracks.

By this time, the lights in the camp were fading, and most of the people had fallen asleep. Suddenly, several dark shadows came out of the darkness and approached the camp gate very quickly.

"Who?!" the guard hidden in the shadows immediately asked.

"The moon is in the middle of the sky, and it reaches the four seas. One of the first to come replied in a deep voice.

The guard was startled, and then a torch was lit, and when it was carefully shone out, it was soon extinguished again. Then, in a short time, the gate of the camp was opened, and several people were ushered in.

The people who came were all hooded and dressed up, and they couldn't see their faces clearly in the dark. Without alarming anyone along the way, he went straight into one of the largest tents.

After a while, a few vague words came out, "Uncle ............. It's ...... Thirty miles away...... Make me wait......"
