On a vast grassland, a melodious horn sounded, and I saw that on the distant horizon, countless cattle and sheep were diligently gnawing on the young leaves on the grass, and there were some herdsmen on the edge of the cattle and sheep, they waved whips and whipped the cattle and sheep, and their faces were full of joy.

After all, this year's rain is much better than in previous years, the growing grass is more fertile and lush, and the cattle and sheep that are grazing on the grass will grow fatter than in previous years, which is naturally an excellent season for the herdsmen on the grassland.

As the sun gradually rose, a long procession appeared on the horizon, and their numbers seemed to be so innumerable that there was no head or tail in sight, and it was clear from the banners that they all belonged to the army of the Dzungar Khanate.

In the middle of this long procession, a huge chariot was clustered, and sixteen horses were lulling forward, and all around it was guarded by hundreds of Dzungar Great Khans, who carried muskets on their backs and scimitars hanging from their waists, adding a touch of solemnity to their solemnity.

In fact, since entering the month of Layue, the war between the northern Jungar and the Khalkha III has basically gradually stopped, not that Jungar does not want to fight in one go, but because of the ice and snow, the march is very unfavorable, so this break was suspended until March, except for the occasional sentry cavalry fighting each other, there was no greater conflict.

Just when the weather was improving, the Dzungar Khanate naturally raised a large army, preparing to completely wipe out the Tushetu Khan, and then take advantage of the situation to attack the Chechen Khan. But the problem is that at this critical point, the old wound of Arabutan has flare-up, and the whole person can't even ride a horse, so he can only lie on the chariot and follow the team all the way.

"Where is the Great Prince now......."

On the chariot, a strong smell of medicine filled it, because everywhere was closed, so the smell could not be dispersed for a long time, and the smoked brain was so painful that Arabutan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he shouted outside the chariot.

Da Ce Ling Dun Dobu, who was driving outside the car, hurriedly drove to the front of the car and said in a low voice: "Great Khan, the eldest prince is coming in a hurry now, and it will take about three or four days to catch up with us...... Please wait a little longer. ”

Arabutan's voice was a little gloomy, "Then wait a little longer, and order the army to rest here..... Ahem......"

After hearing the coughing sound of Celsar Arabutan, everyone's hearts were clouded, although last year's war was smooth, but it also made Celtrick Arabutan overworked, coupled with the recurrence of old injuries, so that the body completely collapsed, and the steppe hero finally revealed his fragile side.

It is evident that even in this field, Alabutan did not want to expose his weakness in front of men, so he never came down from it since he got into the chariot, and the other courtiers who wanted to see him could only talk outside the chariot.

When Arabutan gave the order to rest on the spot, everyone stopped at the moment, and then scattered to prepare for the underground camp, in addition to setting up a large number of tents, and more importantly, taking care of the accompanying horses and livestock, so everyone was very busy.

Da Celing Dun Dobu stood quietly in place, watching the royal chariot of Arabutan go farther and farther under the escort, and finally sighed, the more old and weak the wolf king, the more he will show his strong and ruthless side, and anyone who dares to anger the Great Khan at this moment will be hit with all his strength, and this makes him have to worry a little about the eldest prince.

It's a pity that at the moment, he can't have close communication with the eldest prince, and he doesn't even have someone to consult, so he can only wait quietly for the situation to change......

The army of Dzungar stayed here for three days in a row under the order of Arabutan, and it was not until the night of the third day that a close sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and the eldest prince Galdance Ling came with a team of personal guard cavalry, and everyone showed a look of exhaustion on their faces, and it was obvious that the road was not easy.

The eldest prince Galdantsei, who was in his early thirties, looked very capable, and after entering the camp, he jumped off his horse, threw his horsewhip to the guards behind him, and walked in the direction of Da Ce Ling Dun Dob with a heavy face.

Da Ce Ling Dun Dobu greeted him early and said in a low voice: "Da Khan's body seems to be a little unable to hold on right now...... The king should focus on the overall situation at the moment, and must not anger the Great Khan. ”

Like all royal families, the relationship between Arabutan and Galdan Tsering is not only a father-son relationship, but also a relationship between a monarch and a minister, strictly speaking, the relationship between the monarch and the minister is more important, so the relationship between the two sides is not so harmonious, but more or less estranged.

Therefore, at the moment, Da Ce Ling Dun Dob said this quite bluntly, almost pointing to his nose and telling Galdan Tse Zero, hurry up and pretend to be a good son for a while, and when the Great Khan dies, you will be able to become a grandfather!

His gaze lingered on the face of the Great Ce Ling Dun Dob for a moment, and then he waved his hand, only to see the guards behind him scatter at the same time, forming an invisible cordon around the perimeter, enveloping the two in the center to ensure that no one else could hear their conversation.

"Dundob, can I trust you?"

Gardan Tseling took a deep breath and stared at Da Ce Ling Dun Dob, his expression revealing some anticipation.

"Great king, the ministers should do as they are told."

Da Ce Ling Dun Dob nodded heavily, although he and Galdan Tseling are uncles and nephews, but they are also Galdan Tseling's playmates from childhood to adulthood, even the archery of Gal Dan Tse Ling Zero was taught by Da Ce Ling Dun Dob himself, so for Da Ce Ling Dun Dob, he naturally hopes that Galdan Tse Ling can ascend to the throne of the Great Khan.

Galdan Tseling immediately whispered softly, but it made Dace Ling Dundob's face change and change, and it was obvious that the words of the other party made him a little frightened, but in the end, in the cold gaze of Gal Dan Tseling, he could only nod his head hard.

After the two had just finished talking, Dormu, the general of the Great Khan's personal guard, came to invite Galdance to enter the tent to meet him, and Galdanze's face did not change at all, leaving the guards directly in place, and he followed Dormu towards the tent alone, only to see that under the cover of night, there were only a few candles lit in the tent, revealing endless depth.

Gardance was slightly panicked in his heart, and reluctantly smiled: "Why is the handsome tent of the Great Khan so dark? Why don't you light more candles? ”

With a smile on his face, Dormu said softly: "Great Prince, this is what the Great Khan meant, he said that if it is too bright, his eyes will hurt, it is better to be darker, and it is comfortable to be darker." By the way, the eldest prince, the later ministers will not go in, and the eldest prince can enter the big tent alone. ”

Gardanzer nodded, and did not continue to ask more questions at the moment, but walked towards the tent alone, his temperament was following his father's plot to Alabutan, not only was he very suspicious, but also did not value blood and family affection, so the more he walked into the tent, the more frightened he became.

In the past thirty years, Arabutan was not the only one son, this hero would also take in many women when he conquered the various tribes of Moxi Mongolia, so Galdan Tseling had four brothers, although they were not as powerful as Galdan Tseling, but they also had their own cronies, which could be said to be his choice for the eldest prince.

From the very beginning, Arabutan attached great importance to Galdan Tseling, and would often teach him and invite famous teachers to teach him knowledge, but as time went by, the suspicion of this steppe hero became more and more serious, and he, like Emperor Kangxi, gradually became jealous of his older son, so he in turn began to support several younger brothers of Galdan Tseling to balance the eldest prince.

In addition to being suspicious, he was also very good at hiding himself, he began to gradually rein in his edge, cultivating cronies in the army, and also wantonly wooing his uncle Dace Ling Dun Dob, through which he mastered a large number of his own people in the army, but these could not alleviate the fear in his heart, because in front of the steppe lord Alabutan, no one would have self-confidence.

"Finally, it's finally come to this day."

Gardanzer sighed deeply, he said silently in his heart, and then he strode resolutely into the tent, as if he had carried a knife to the battlefield for the first time.

As soon as he entered the tent, Galdan Tseling thought that there were many warriors waiting for him in the tent, but he did not expect that there was no one, only the old and unbearable Arabutan, who was now half-lying on the collapse, with a little smile on his face, looking at his son with great affection.

"Forehead, the child has finally rushed back!"

Galdan Tseling knelt on the ground and pressed his head to the ground, not daring to walk in front of him without the permission of Alabutan.

Arabutan coughed heavily, and then gasped: "Kouwu, come closer, let Ezhige take a good look at you......" As if this paragraph had wasted a lot of his strength, he coughed a few more times after speaking.

There was a slight hesitation on his face, and then he finally walked towards the collapse, and then knelt on the ground, looking up at Arabutan, but found that the eagle in his heart had now become full of gray hair, and the wrinkles on his face were layered, and it was obvious that he had not long to live.

Seeing that the delirium had become so old, Galdan Ce Ling couldn't help the thought of blood and family affection in his heart after all, and said sadly: "Erzhige, the child failed to take good care of you, it's the child's!" ”

Arabutan smiled, stretched out a trembling hand, stroked Galdan Tseling's head, and said softly: "We Mongolians are not Han Chinese, so we don't talk about this...... Kouwu, you really shouldn't be here today! ”

"Ezhile, why don't you come here?" There seems to be something strange about Gardanzezero.

Just as he asked this sentence, he only heard a heavy footsteps, and then dozens of armor-clad guards rushed into the tent, and the leader even drew a scimitar and put it on the neck of Gardanzeling, it was obvious that as long as he gave an order from Alabutan, the head of Galdan Tseling would be moved.

There was a sudden change in the tent, but Galdan Tseling didn't seem to be strange, and he didn't have any resistance, he just looked at the Arabutan on the sickbed with a strange look, and said softly: "Ezhige, you want the child's life, the child will give it to you, but why at this time?" ”

Tselu Alabutan struggled to sit up, his gray hair fluttering in the wind, with a little smugness on his face, looking at his proud son, and sneering: "Kouwu, everything you have done, you have seen it in your eyes, do you think you can hide it too much?" ”

After saying this, Zeryu Alabutan gasped a few times hard, and said softly: "The reason why Ezhige has not killed Celing Dundobu is not for your face, but to tie you up through him, Ezhige knows that if he dies, you will not dare to come back so defenselessly." ”

Galdan Tseling was silent, it was obvious that the other party's words made him powerless to refute, Da Ce Ling Dun Dob was his cronies who placed him next to the Great Khan, and it was also the weather vane of the Great Khan, and only when Da Ce Ling Dun Dob was safe could he be proved to be safe.

It's just that the current scene seems to tell him that no matter what he does with Gardanze, he can't escape the eyes of the other party, and even be completely used by the other party.

Then, just as Arabutan was about to say something, there was a shout of killing outside the tent, and the sound of swords and slashing, as if many people were fighting hand-to-hand, and from time to time there were miserable screams, and then just a moment later, calm returned to the tent.

With a slight hesitation on his face, he quickly asked one of the Great Khan's guards to go out of the tent to check, and then as soon as he went out, he let out a scream, followed by several heavy footsteps, and when the sound reached the outside of the tent, he saw a round thing thrown in from the outside.

Everyone looked at it, but it was the head of the Great Khan who had just gone out, and before everyone's faces could change color, they saw Da Ce Ling Dun Dobu striding in from outside the tent, his face was covered with blood beads, and there was a rushing smell of blood on his body, and the whole person looked full of anger.

After Da Ce Ling Dun Dobu walked into the tent, he didn't look at the Celtic Alabutan lying on the couch, but knelt down on one knee to Galdan Tse, and said in a loud voice: "King, all the people around the tent have been in my hands, and all the guards of the Great Khan outside the tent have been killed by the ministers, and I have come to rescue the king!" ”

Galdan Tseling quickly turned from sadness to joy, and with a strong confidence on his face, he said loudly: "All the people in the tent obey the order, if you can support this prince to ascend to the throne of the Great Khan, you will be rewarded with a thousand gold and ten thousand households will be sealed!" If you are obsessed and this prince dies, you will all die! ”
