The Mobei Royal Court is shrouded in ice and snow, and the shore of Bethten Lake outside the royal city is covered with thick ice.

In the king's tent, the arm-thick butter torch still "suddenly" spewed flames, the wide tent was clear, and a two-foot-high stove was placed in the middle of the tent, and the copper kettle was steaming, spewing out the sweet fragrance of butter tea. The inside of the tent was a little empty, the soft carpet had been replaced with a coarse wolf skin, the tapestries on the walls of the tent had been sold, and the gold and silver utensils on the table containing wine and meat had been replaced by armor and food, and the king's tent looked a little shabby.

Two rows of low-legged carved wooden tables were stacked with beef and mutton, and at this time the white grease was condensed, and the mare's milk wine in the cups was no longer hot, but the quarrels among the men sitting at the table became more and more intense.

“…… If it weren't for the fact that Liman Khan forced the Satu tribe away and forced the Batai tribe to move south to graze in the Laena Valley, how could the Zheng army have taken the Batai tribe captive. Even the two major tribes of Naifu and Badai, the Satu tribe went north and did not listen to the call, and some small tribes were also worried and intended to wait and see, which was caused by Liman Khan. Holy Maiden, Liman Khan harmed the overall situation of the grassland for his own selfishness, and he could not be punished, otherwise he would not be able to convince the public. Su Bu Naying's eyes widened, and his beard roared.

"Not bad", "When the news of the destruction of the Badai tribe came yesterday, the Bute tribe and the Yasari tribe left the royal court with their subordinates under the pretext of going out to graze......

Youxian Wang Qianmeng said: "Liman Khan is also to gather forces to deal with the Zheng army, although there is a small mistake, let him lead the army to fight the Zheng army first." ”

"King Youxian is right, the enemy is current, we must work together, and we must not intrigue again." Captain Zuo said that he was a member of the Liman faction, so he naturally wanted to speak to this side.

"It's clear that Liman Khan secretly used his hands and legs to destroy unity, and he also pretended to say that they would work together and shout to catch the thief." Zuo General Lan Qitao scolded bitterly.

A new round of scolding began again, and Ti Zhu held the butter tea in her hand, and her heart gradually became cold like a cup of tea. For thousands of years, the steppe tribe has never encountered the crisis of ethnic extinction, and his two elder brothers and uncles are still fighting for the power in their hands.

Throwing the wooden cup on the table heavily, Ti Zhu said coldly: "Today, everyone is called here to discuss how to deal with Zheng Jun, not to let you attack each other. If you really have the ability, don't shout in the king's tent, go and take the north city of Zhenbei. ”

After Tizhu became a saint, with the support of the king, her majesty became more and more powerful, and many tribes were full of good feelings for this saint who was kind and sincerely cared for the people of the grassland, so that the call for the holy woman of Tizhu to become the female khan of the grassland continued to emerge.

Seeing that the saint was angry, everyone didn't dare to make a sound, and stared at the cold beef and mutton, arguing for so long, a little hungry. Someone shouted to the maid to change the hot wine and cut the meat with a knife.

Ti Zhu couldn't hide the disappointment in his heart, Zheng Jun's million-strong army was overwhelming, and there were less than 600,000 grassland warriors gathered around Wang Ting, and there were insufficient ordnance and materials, these people didn't think about how to deal with the enemy, but wanted to annex those small tribes and expand their own power. In their opinion, it is impossible for Zheng Jun to stay on the grassland for a long time, and when the enemy can't resist it, he will hide in the depths of the grassland, and wait for Zheng Jun to retreat and come back again, but they didn't think that after the grassland was grated by Zheng Jun, where would the cattle and sheep graze, and there would be no water and grass, the number of cattle and sheep would be greatly reduced, and the old and young in the tribe would starve to death, and those small tribes

If Luo is not swallowed up by the big tribe, he will become a wolf thief and horse thief on the grassland, and the grassland will be greatly damaged, and it will not be able to recover for more than a hundred years, and it will no longer be able to go south, so it may become a vassal of Zheng Guo and herd horses for the Zheng people.

"Big brother, how do you think we should fight?" Tiju asked, looking at Kunbo, who was sitting first on the right.

Kunbo threw away the flesh and bones in his hand, and said loudly: "The wolves are coming, and they will meet them with arrows, and the Zheng people want to seize the grassland, the warriors will naturally not agree, don't look at the Zheng army, I Kunbo only need 200,000 warriors to drive them out of the grassland." ”

Li Man sat opposite Kunbo and sneered coldly: "Big brother, you have almost 200,000 under your command, and the third sister and I will make up for you the insufficient number, and the matter of facing Zheng Ren will be handed over to you, eldest brother." ”

Kun Bo pointed at Li Man and scolded: "When Father Khan was alive, the Zheng people surrendered to our horses' hooves, and sent people to send gifts and sue for peace every year. ”

"Big brother, what you say is so unreasonable, who was in a hurry to be a great khan when Father Khan just left, and came to the royal court with soldiers and horses." Li Man responded without showing weakness: "You clearly want to snatch the throne of Khan and annex other tribes, how can I let you succeed, if you want to say that today's situation, I'm afraid it is because of you." ”

Seeing that the quarrel was rising again, Ti Zhu tapped on the table and said, "Second brother, you can also tell me how to meet Zheng Jun." ”

"I have a different opinion from my eldest brother, Zheng Ren is powerful, and he will only suffer if he fights hard." Li Man waved his hand and said: "Since the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, we have not stopped fighting with the Zheng army, and we have not gained the upper hand. This time, the Badai Department was damaged, our strength declined, our morale was low, and we were more and more unable to fight hard with Zheng Jun. In my opinion, avoid the edge and lure it deeper, the supply of the Zheng army will naturally be difficult, and then take the opportunity to rob its supply or choose a favorable terrain to annihilate a part of it, and then the enemy will eliminate us and rise, so that the Zheng people can be driven out of the grassland. ”

Many people in the audience nodded, and Liman's method was indeed more secure than Koumpo's simple battle. Ti Zhu said: "The spy report said that the Zheng people have prepared a large number of supplies, and this time it is very likely that they will fight for a long time. If they adopt a step-by-step approach to warfare, how will they deal with building cities and fortifications along the way? ”

Youxian Wang Qian smiled and said: "The holy woman is too worried, the grassland is vast and boundless, even if a million Zheng Jun is on the grassland, it is just like a few clusters of mushrooms in the grass. There are no big trees and stones on the grassland, and no matter how many materials the Zheng people have prepared, how many cities and fortifications can be built on the grassland? Our army is flexible and familiar with the terrain, so there is no need to confront the Zheng army head-on, so we might as well learn from the wolves to prey, and bite the next piece of meat while they are unprepared, as long as the weather turns cold, there is no need to fight, and those Zheng people will freeze to death on the grassland. ”

Su Bu Nayingshuang frowned and said: "What King Youxian said is reasonable, but I'm afraid that before we drive away the Zheng people, our own supplies will run out first." Those small tribes are also worried about being driven and annexed, and if the Zheng people give some benefits, it will be difficult for the division of power to pose a threat to the Zheng army, and the Zheng army is familiar with the terrain under the leadership of those Toucheng tribes, and the longer it drags on, it will be bad for us. ”

"Zuo Fuqu is right", Tizhu stood up, and the pearl at the earrings flashed in the firelight, making her face more and more delicate. The young wolf riders guarding the big tent showed Mu Ai's thoughts in their eyes, and the golden wolf thousand rider Atina was even more fascinated, staring at Tizhu's every move with a good eye.

Tizhu slowly walked to the copper stove in the middle of the big tent, stretched out his hand to bake on the stove, and said in a firm tone: "No matter how you fight, people's hearts must not be scattered. His Holiness sent me a letter saying that he had prepared some gifts for the people of the steppe and that he would be there soon, so everyone should wait patiently for the Dharma driver. ”

The desert people believe in Satu, and they believe in nature, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, water, volcanoes, rivers, and even animals and plants. The supreme head of the Sadus religion is the Dharma King, and according to the level of psychic, there are four masters, eight masters, and eighteen venerables, as for the attendants and walkers, there are many attendants, who walk the various tribes of the grassland to preach the great religion, which is the cornerstone of the Sadus.

Twenty years later, the old Dharma King returned to the West, and Badorje became a new generation of Dharma King. After Badorje succeeded to the throne, he strengthened ties with the secular royal court, sent His Holiness to the royal court, and used the power of the royal court to preach among the desert people, and at the same time recruited qualified psychics from the desert cavalry as followers, and Venerable Fu Ying was once the Golden Wolf Army.

Before Wu Shi died, he had a premonition that the two sons competing for the throne would divide the grassland, so he handed over the Golden Wolf Army to his daughter Ti Zhu, and asked Ti Zhu to invite King Qing Pa Dorje to sit in the royal court.

Ti Zhu was ordered to invite the Dharma King to preside over the funeral of his father Khan, and built a three-story temple on Mishan Yin Mountain, six miles north of the royal court, to worship the Dharma King. This move really worked, and the small tribes attached themselves one after another, and Kunbo and Liman did not dare to disobey the divine will and start a fight. In order to further strengthen the control of the steppe tribes, Tizhu voluntarily refused to marry for life and became a saint of the Sadu, closely combining the power of the khanate with the divine power, and became the most powerful voice on the grassland. Immediately afterwards, Ti Zhu announced that he would pass on the throne to his nephew, which was caused by the princes of the royal court, thus eliminating the most direct conflict and postponing the conflict.

However, in the face of the pressure of Zheng people's soldiers, the hidden contradictions broke out again, the two elder brothers insisted on their own words, different tribes had different intentions, and the effect of Tizhu's forcible suppression became worse and worse. After the news that the Badai tribe was exterminated by the Zheng army came, Wang Ting immediately exploded like a honeycomb, and two small tribes took the opportunity to leave on the same day.

Tizhu went to the sacred mountain overnight to meet His Holiness Badorje, and after listening to her, His Holiness was silent for a while, and said, "Holy Maiden, the grassland is a place where the Immortal Heaven gives the people of the Desert to multiply, and the Sadus religion worships the Immortal Heaven and should act according to the will of the Immortal Heaven. Badorje is also a desert person, and all the followers of the Saduke religion are desert people, so naturally they will not see the grassland fall into the hands of the Zheng people. Holy Maiden, go back, tomorrow when the moon rises to the top of the Golden Horde of the royal court, I will come to the royal tent with three gifts, and the Sadul sect will fight against the Zheng army together with the people of the desert. ”

The golden moon rose into the sky, sprinkling its light on the grassland, and Ti Zhu led the people in the golden tent to the outside of the tent to greet the king, and a long procession was winding in the direction of the sacred mountain.

Tizhu stood at the front of the line, the March breeze blowing the scarf, carrying the coolness of the snow-capped mountains in the distance. The wind brings the breath of spring, the snow and ice in the distance are gradually melting, and the grass is quietly peeking out of the green in the snow, and it will not be long before spring will come to the grassland again. There was not a hint of a smile on Tizhu's face, and she knew that for the Moren, winter had just come.
