The Mongol occupation area of the Jin State, the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and the Torsai Department of Yunnei Prefecture.

With the collapse of the rule in the northern border of the Jin Kingdom, these tribes who had been living with the Wang Gu tribe and helping to guard the border walls at the border pass also moved inward.

The Ministry of Tolsserva is one of them!

They were a small tribe with a population of only three or four hundred people, and they could not have allocated any good pasture. Before the Mongols attacked the Xia Kingdom, these small tribes were nomadic near the city of Wurahai.

But when the news of Jebe's defeat and return reached Houtao, these small tribes no longer dared to stay in the Xia Kingdom. He withdrew to the sphere of influence of the Wanggu Department to preserve his strength.

But they were unlucky, and the playgrounds in the better places were taken over by other tribes. Only in some grassless Gobi deserts and deserts, as well as near the border, no tribe is willing to go.

The patriarch of the Torsai tribe was an old man, and the majority of the clan was old and weak, women and children. If you don't have the ability to compete with other tribes for grassland, you can only live in pastures near the border.

Fortunately, the population of Jin is large, and they have no shortage of herding slaves for sheep. And I really can't get by, I can still rob the things of the Jin people. The big cities are not daring to go, but the small villages are still unimpeded. It's just that the towns near the north have been wiped out by the scourge recently, so that even if you want to, there is nowhere to rob.

But in short, the life of the Torsse department is still good. Occasionally, you can cross the border to the Xia Kingdom, where Liao is uninhabited and more suitable for grazing.

But today, the good days of the Torsse ministry seem to be coming to an end.

"Are you sure you're the only men in the tribe?" Turgan held up the binoculars and asked the boy lying on the ground beside him. At the moment they were all lying under a pine tree, and the half-meter-high barren grass was scattered all over the small hill. A few pine trees are intermittently distributed and are not dense.

And under the hills, there is a semi-circular shallow. The clear water of the Yellow River flows slowly, making the grass on both sides of the river grow happily. More than twenty tents were compactly spread across the shallows, and some women in Mongolian costumes with whips directed a group of unkempt men to weave.

There is also a group of Mongolian men roaming around the periphery. They carried their bows and arrows on their backs, and their eyes fell more on the group of beggars. In the distance, there were fields of reclamation, and a group of ragged people were also working. The Mongolian woman looked at the ridge and saw if anyone was slow, so she went up and threw a whip.

They had only watched it for a short time before they heard nearly a hundred whips. The screams mixed with the laughter of the Mongols spread far and wide, making the faces of several teenagers on the hillside look bad.

"Yes, team. A few days ago, the barbarian tribe was drawn a group of strong men, and now only these people are left. A young man named Zhou Yanhan replied loudly.

"My father and mother were beaten to death by them. These barbarians, both men and women, are not a thing anymore. It seemed to be aroused by sadness, Zhou Yanhan continued.

Another teenager also thought of the bad memories and said, "I don't have to work idlely every day, and I can't sleep well at night." Every day, half a nest and grass cakes are usually stayed, and even if they don't starve to death, they are beaten to death. ”。

They are the local Han people of Xijing Province, and since the complete fall of Xijing Province, these local people have suffered a catastrophe. Especially after the Mongol tribes went south to fight the grass valley, they ordinary people became slaves who were captured and killed at will.

It was precisely because they couldn't stand it anymore that these teenagers, with the help of adults, took advantage of the chaos to run west.

If it weren't for the Turgan encounter, they would have been a dead word.

Turgan listened to their hateful complaints, turned his head to look at Gila Siyi and said, "Let's take this military merit, shall we?" ”。 It looks like an inquiry, but in fact a decision has been made.

"This is the land of the Mongols! Don't forget, we're not here to fight, we're here to scout the enemy. ", reminds Gilasyi.

They tortured the Mongol captives for information they wanted to know, and captured some of the escaped teenagers. There were seven of them, and after expressing their goodwill and making it clear that they were hostile to the Mongols, the teenagers finally told them what they knew, half-coercively, half-cooperatively.

So Turgan decided to come and see for himself.

"The strong men of this tribe have just been taken away, and we haven't done anything great before. If this tribe is served, how do you say King Liang will reward us? Turgan completely ignored Gilasyi's reminder and continued to woo him.

"Once we're exposed, how are we going back?" , Gila Siyi was moved, but still full of concern.

"No, it won't! You want to siphon off their strong men, who else can there be? Turgan said with blazing eyes: "Besides, this realm is so close to the Xia Kingdom, but Jebel doesn't let them withdraw, isn't he just treating them as cannon fodder?" ”。

On the border between Xia and Jin, there are mostly passes for entry and exit. Even if you can keep one place, you can't keep a hundred. What's more, the military action of the Yuan army was too fast, and it would take time for the Mongolian side to transfer troops. Therefore, it is impossible to take so many troops to defend the border.

Therefore, some insignificant small tribes are blocked on the border line, and in case of a situation, it is good to know the whereabouts of the Yuan army as soon as possible.

Jila Siyi also figured this out, but still hesitated: "But then, won't the Mongolian army know our whereabouts?" ”。

"What if you get it? By the time they received the news, we would have already run back to the Xia Kingdom. ”，

"But we don't have enough manpower?" , Gilasy points out the key issues.

Because it is mainly reconnaissance, it is not suitable to dispatch a large number of people. So Turgan and their squad were less than ten people. Although many of the men in the Torsey Department have been taken away, there are still more than 50 people who have been detained. In terms of troops, the two sides are extremely asymmetrical.

"Who said we don't have enough manpower, can't they help with Yansheng?" , Turgan said, Gila Siyi's face softened, and said with a smile: "It seems that the manpower can be used anywhere!" ”。 The direction he was pointing to was the people of the Jin Kingdom who were working hard under the whip of the Mongols.

"Team Zheng, can we follow and kill the barbarians?" , Zhou Yansheng heard the conversation between Tulkan and them, and said with joy on his face. The people of the north, after the Liao and Jin dynasties, have been fierce since ancient times, and there are many martial arts practitioners. Because of the perennial dealings with the tribesmen here, if you don't practice some self-defense skills, sooner or later you will be taken away as a herdsman.

Right now, they're just not eating well, and their bodies are bad. But as long as you raise it for a while, you can go to the battlefield and kill the enemy immediately. In addition, Zhou Yansheng and they were miserable by the Mongols, so the hatred is also unforgettable.

Now that there is an opportunity for revenge, I am naturally very happy.
