Ortai and Li Fugui quarreled for a while, and seeing that no one paid attention to them and didn't quarrel, Li Yu told everyone his thoughts, Li Huai due to his special status, it is impossible to continue to stay in Fort Victory, and now only he can come forward to deal with Mingguo, so he has to go to Fort Victory to live for a period of time in person, whether to withdraw from Fort Victory can only act at the opportunity, but it can't be in vain to cheapen Mingguo, they must be made to pay a certain price, as for improving the relationship with Chahar, Li Yu thinks that this does not need to be considered at all, It is a dead end for Barbarian Mountain to go against either the Ming Kingdom or Chahar, so put the hatred aside, and living now is the most important thing.

Li Yu didn't have time to leave for Fort Victory, but got an unexpected news - Chahar Khan sent an envoy to visit Princess Wulangha, Li Fugui smiled, this is Chahar Khan is in a hurry, under the guise of seeing his sister, he came to show us goodwill, then we can't waste the opportunity, just talk to them. The Great Horde of Humbatulu immediately regarded the negotiation with the special envoy of Chahar as the top priority, and Li Yu had no choice but to postpone his trip to Fort Shengsheng to meet the special envoy, and also assigned Li Fugui to preside over the reception and negotiations.

The arrival of the special envoy of Chahar, the happiest is Wu Langha, she simply has a feeling of coming from her mother's family, squeezing around Li Yu step by step, and deliberately pointing fingers at the people around her, trying to put on a posture of a hostess, Ulan glared at Wu Langha fiercely, and also leaned hard next to Li Yu, and Li Yu was embarrassed by the two of them in the middle.

The envoy was a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, what made Li Yu strange was that this person was wearing a Mongolian robe, but he had a Han bun on his head, and his face was weak, he looked more like a Han scholar, Wu Langha took the initiative to come up and introduce: "This is Yun Rong, the secretary of my Khan's brother's big tent, he has read a lot of books after naturalizing our Han people in Chahar, and he is the most learned person in the big tent, Yun Rong, why don't you hurry up and visit my family Hongba Tulu." ”

Yun Rong bowed to Li Yu with Han etiquette, and then said to Li Yu with a smile: "Our Great Khan often mentions you, but we would never have thought that Humbaturu is so young, Her Royal Highness the Princess is right, Humbaturu is indeed a handsome young man, young and promising!" I think our Great Khan would have liked you if he had seen you. ”

"When you Great Khan sees me, I'm afraid you want to kill me even more!" Li Yu also replied with a smile after worshipping Yunrong with a Han salute.

"Then you are mistaken, our Great Khan has no mercy on the disobedient Taiji and Noyan, but he admires the heroes from civilian backgrounds very much, and the Great Khan also ordered me to call you Li Yucha." Yun Rong immediately said, "Cha" is the name of the Chahar people for the nobles, and Chahar Khan allowed Li Yu to be called Li Yucha, which shows his appreciation for Li Yu.

Wu Langha is even more proud, died a Gui Yingcha, and a Li Yucha, she still has a good life, this time Chahar Khan took the initiative to send a messenger to visit, she is the initiator, of course, there is Li Fugui behind the pusher, Wu Langha to the Barbarian Mountain ass just sat hot, so he sent someone to Chahar Khan to send a letter, claiming that he had lived up to Brother Khan's expectations, the Barbarian Mountain had been surrendered by her, and it didn't take a sword to let that Humba Tulubai fall at her feet, and then he touted Li Yu a lot, said that Li Yu is a rare young talent on the grassland, and Brother Khan will be like a tiger with this person, and suggested that Brother Khan marry this person, and she herself is willing to endure the pain of losing Gui Yingcha for the sake of Chahar's future and sacrifice herself to remarry. After Chahar Khan saw the letter, he saw through his sister's mind at a glance, Wu Langha has always been careful and refuses to suffer, she must have seen that there is a advantage to take advantage of before she remarries, but to improve relations with the Barbarian Mountain is also what he desperately needs, if Wu Langha squeezes into the Barbarian Mountain, that bit of population is nothing to him.

In fact, the situation faced by the Chahar tribes was more severe than that of the Barbarian Mountain, and Chahar Khan was once again deceived by the Ming State, and the Ming State official named Li Shan's agreement to give money when he returned to his hometown did not count, and the Ming State instead strengthened the blockade against him. The other two rivals also began to act, Tumut's Boshuo Ketu Khan, Ordos's Erlinchen Jinong, and Karaqin's Baiyantaiji thief's heart is not dead, tangled with the remnants of the Mongolian right-wing departments gathered in the west of the Yellow River, and is preparing for the army to cross the river, and the news from the West Liao River is even more terrifying, the Tiancong Khan of the Jin State is ordering the Mongolian tribes attached to the Jin State to assemble, preparing to do the final sweep of his West Liaohe lair, the Chahar departments have no way back, the only way out is to quickly eliminate the Mongolian right-wing forces, Then try to gain a foothold in the Monan grassland, and to achieve this, it is necessary to deal with the Barbarian Mountains that are close in front of you.

On this issue, the Chahar ministers had disagreements, Sanhar Zhai Jinong advocated appeasing the Barbarian Han Mountain to stabilize the rear, and Karma Jinong and Gunchuk and others advocated the rapid elimination of the forces of the Barbarian Mountain to avoid future troubles, but with the deterioration of the situation, Tuba Jinong also stood on the side of Sanhar Village, their opinions were very clear, although the Barbarian Mountain is poor but not weak, the result of our struggle with them will inevitably be a defeat for both sides, and after Chahar defeats the Barbarian Mountain with a scar, the Ming State, Jin and the Mongolian right-wing will take the opportunity to pounce on us and tear us apart, in this case, why can't we talk to the Barbarian Mountain, the people of the Barbarian Mountain are a bunch of nameless poor ghosts in Tumut River after all, the Ming court thinks they are Tatars, and the Mongolian right-wing leaders think they are pariahs, no one will trust them, and their life is definitely not easy, maybe they are also waiting for the Great Khan to appease them.

Chahar Khan leaned towards the opinion of Tuba and Sanhar Village, although he had suffered several times in the Barbarian Mountain, but he did not have much disgust with the Barbarian Mountain, on the contrary, he was more appreciative, he saw that the recklessness of these commoners was more pleasing to the eye than the Mongolian nobles, and Wu Langha's letter just gave him the opportunity to contact the Barbarian Mountain, so he sent his most trusted secretary Yun Rong to the Barbarian Mountain.

Yun Rong's mission this time is mainly to improve the relationship between the two sides, whether it can be appeased depends on the bargaining between the two sides, Chahar Khan does not believe Wu Langha's words, a woman in her thirties bragged that people worship at her feet, and the ghost will believe it, of course, Li Yu can ask him for his widowed sister, so Chahar Khan's other task for Yun Rong is to give Wu Lang Ha to Li Yu as much as possible, but Yun Rong feels that this is not easy to do, Li Fugui introduced to the princess Ulan of Boshuo Ketu Khan, Yun Rong sensitively realized that Li Yu and Ulan were a couple, and Wu Langha was a third party involved, although Wu Langha still had some appearance, but compared with the young and beautiful Ulan, the gap was too obvious, and Wu Langha was simply self-inflicted.

Li Yu and Yun Rong exchanged a few words and went on the road again, leaving the Yinma River and going straight to the camp of the Barbarian Mountain, Li Fugui seemed to have a very good impression of this Yun Rong, and accompanied him all the way to talk and laugh, Ortai and Namur also joined in after a while - did you see a scholar in this place, these four of the same kind quickly became acquainted, Yun Rong was also very excited, he and the group of Chahar nobles could hardly find anything to say, but there were people here who pointed out to him and talked about it, he simply had a feeling of finding home, the four of them talked and laughed, Li Yu and Zhao Ji were hung aside instead, and Zhao Ji complained that he couldn't understand what these four guys said, and he didn't even know if he sold him.

"You still farm here?" Yun Rong blew enough poems and articles, and was amazed to see the crops that had already borne ears.

"What do we eat if we don't farm? In a few days, we will be able to harvest grain," Li Fugui said jokingly, tilting his head, "However, Hezhou should not interfere with our ideas, this grain is not enough for us to eat." ”

"Brother Hezhou, don't you farm the land? So what do you eat? Namur asked.

"Chahar people don't know how to farm, what to eat, don't hide it from you, we starved to death in the spring of this year, and this time we were forced to enter the customs in a hurry." Yun Rong shook his head and replied

Ortai snorted and said: "Brother Hezhou, you Chahar people will fight and rob, and if you continue like this, you will collapse sooner or later, and you Great Khan must teach the Chahar people to learn to live." ”

"Of course our Great Khan understands, but Taiji and the nobles are holding on to their own tribes, who will listen to him, and it will be difficult for the Great Khan! Do you all listen to Li Yucha here? ”

"We listen to everyone here, our Han Min brothers have something to discuss with you, we don't have Taiji, nobles, no subordinates, slaves, the practice is to plan and compile households, whoever has the ability to be an official, whoever says it right will do it according to whom, we are most short of scholars, Brother Hezhou, if you don't want to do it with the Chahar people, come to our side." Na Mu'er, who was outspoken and fast-talking, immediately encouraged Yun Rong to change jobs.

Yun Rong smiled bitterly and shook his head, Li Fugui hurriedly played a round: "Hezhou is a great talent, and it can be used everywhere." ”

When the group arrived at the big tent, Li Yu waved his hand, and the idle people immediately retreated, Mo Rige and Meng Ke personally acted as guards outside the big tent, Wu Langha was also unwilling to be persuaded to leave, as soon as she left Ulan, she left immediately, and Li Yu and the four Hongbatulu big tent officials were left in the tent, Yun Rong saluted Li Yu again and said: "Li Yucha, our Great Khan ......"

"Don't call me Li Yucha, I don't have the life to be a nobleman, you can call me Li Yu or Li Hanmin, and I will also call you Brother Hezhou, so it's easy to talk," Li Yu interrupted Yun Rong's words and said bluntly: "Brother Hezhou, what does Chahar Khan have to say to us?" ”

"Then I also call you Hanmin, the Great Khan said that the Mongolian tribes are divided and each does its own thing, which has led to the long-term poverty and weakness of Mongolia, and is bullied by others everywhere, and people of insight are needed to cheer up and help him unify Mongolia and regain its strength, as long as it is a hero and talent, regardless of the tribe and the noble, the Great Khan is very important to you, I hope you will serve under his command, your name and subordinates do not worry, the Great Khan will treat each other favorably, and the population brought by the princess can also belong to you."

"This is to appease me, but I have no interest in being an official, nor am I interested in helping him unify Mongolia, I just want the people around me to live well, we go our own way, if Chahar Khan doesn't want to fight with us, return our land and pasture to us, and you can take your population with you." Li Yu replied without hesitation.

Yun Rong's face was embarrassed, to be honest, Chahar Khan didn't want to feed Wu Langha's people, but Li Yu said it to death with one mouth, and it would be difficult to talk about it any further, Li Fugui glared at Li Yu fiercely, and Li Yu immediately closed his mouth honestly.

"Hezhou, you should know the situation here, you Chahar people have gone too far, burning, killing and plundering everything, and the people of the Barbarian Mountains are all hated to the bone, but we still repay our grievances with virtue and take in more than 4,000 homeless Chahar people, your Great Khan is the Great Khan of all Mongolia, of course we should respect it, and the Great Khan should also do something for these people who have lost their homes, otherwise can you expect them to surrender willingly to the Great Khan?" Li Fugui took Li Yu's words and continued.

Yun Rong was speechless, the Chahar people had done too many bad things, he couldn't deny it, he thought for a while and said: "The Great Khan is benevolent, many things are ordered by those Taiji and nobles, and the Great Khan can't do anything. ”

Seeing that everyone was sneering, Yun Rong changed his words and asked, "Then what are you going to do?" You don't want to keep fighting? ”

"It's very simple, we can honor the Great Khan, and we can also accept the name of the Great Khan, but the Great Khan must also respect us, we are in charge of our own affairs, the Great Khan cannot interfere, our original land and pasture must allow us to continue to cultivate and graze, we can put aside hatred and get along with the Chahars like brothers, and the two sides will never go to war again." Ortai said.

"What is the difference between this and those right-wing departments that divide one side, when it comes to hatred, you colluded with the Ming State to fight us, how can this account be calculated? In the future, do you still want to hook up with Mingguo under our banner? Also, Princess Ulan is the daughter of Boshuo Ketu Khan, why is she here, and do you also have contacts with the Mongolian right wing? Don't think about stepping on two boats, I, Chahar, have a hundred thousand people, am I still at your mercy? Yun Rong said coldly.

"You are so shameless, you have occupied the Tumut River, and made Princess Ulan homeless, and you are embarrassed to ask her why she is here, and your Great Khan will not even let her go? Whoever dares to touch her, I will kill her. Li Yu was immediately furious, but Na Mu'er was faster than him, and pointed at Yun Rong's nose and shouted.

Li Yu snorted and said: "This is Wulan's home, she won't leave here, if you want to beat her, then let's continue to fight!" ”

"Aren't you Great Khan also hooking up with the Ming Kingdom? To survive on the grassland, you must communicate with the Ming Kingdom, and you Great Khan must understand this truth, so why interfere with our exchanges with the Ming Kingdom. Ortai saw that Yun Rong stopped talking, and continued to retort.

"We don't want to fight, but if you want to fight, then we will accompany you to the end, we have fewer people than you, but our soldiers are definitely stronger than you, how many young people are you going to die here? Twenty thousand or thirty thousand? Zhao Ji said with a sneer.

"You still want to fight! Then what else are we talking about, you give me back the population, I'll take them away, we'll see you on the battlefield. Yun Rong was really angry.

"Yes, but you have to ask them if they want to, and if they want to, then I can't help it." Li Fugui replied with a smile, he knew very well in his heart that those Chahar people were eating the big pot of rice with relish, and they definitely didn't want to go back to starve.

Yun Rong was angry, and immediately quarreled with Li Fugui, and Ortai immediately played the role of the peacemaker: "Brother Hezhou is a little tired today, let's stop talking, let Brother Hezhou eat and rest early, and continue to talk tomorrow." ”

"Brother Hezhou, I'm going to Victory Fort soon, so I won't accompany you, I will recognize what you negotiate with the others," Li Yu decided not to be an ornament here, bowed his hand to Yun Rong and said goodbye, walked a few steps and turned back and said, "Brother Hezhou, our two families have a deep grudge, and your Great Khan must take action to make us trust each other, otherwise we will not be able to surrender to him." ”

As soon as Li Yu left, Zhao Ji also took the opportunity to leave, Yun Rong pointed at Li Fugui and Ortai and shouted: "Han Min actually went to the victory fortress of the Ming Kingdom, you honestly tell me what is your relationship with the Ming Kingdom, do you still want to calculate us?" ”

"We don't intend to hide it from you, the Han people are our Humbaturu, and they are also the capital of the Ming army, and Fort Victory is currently under our control, this is nothing, there are many Taiji and Nuoyan of Tumut who have been awarded the official positions of the Ming State, I heard that your Great Khan is also making trouble to be the Shunyi King of the Ming Kingdom, is there such a thing?"

Ortai patted Yun Rong's shoulder and said proudly: "You are envious, Han Min has the official title of Ming Kingdom, and we have a horse market to do business, so we are better off than you, go back and think about what you should do." ”

Yun Rong was not angry, and Na Mu'er came up again to offer his courtesy: "Brother Hezhou, if you are okay at night, come to our school to teach, you are good at learning, everyone must like to listen to your class." ”

"You still have a school in this place?" Yun Rong asked in surprise.

"If you don't do it, you can't do it! We have few literate people here, even fewer learned people, the Great Tent of Humbaturu requires all officials to be able to read and write letters, and to be sensible and understand how to make a living, Brother Du Xing, Brother Nian Feng and I have to teach, Brother Du Xing teaches the history of Liao, Jin, Yuan and the laws of Altan Khan, Brother Nian Feng and Brother Yushan in the Fort of Victory teach the history of the Han people and the law of agriculture and industry, I talk about poetry and animal husbandry, sometimes Han people and Lao Zhao also have to go to the school to teach the method of training and conquest, and the officials of thousands of households and hundreds of households have to come to listen to the lectures as long as they are fine, You have such a great knowledge, you must teach us reason. ”

Yun Rong immediately became interested, this kind of treatment has never been encountered, let alone teaching in the Chahar people, there is no chance to find someone to talk about learning, he thought solemnly for a while and said: "Okay, I will talk about Mencius." ”

Li Fugui hurriedly interjected: "Hezhou, don't listen to him brag, we have a lot of rough people here, where can we understand university questions, we are almost talking about "Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" in our teachings, and occasionally talk about some knowledge, it would be good for these people to recognize a few words and understand some truth after listening to the story, you tell them the learning of the sage purely to play the piano to the cow." ”

"That's not bad, I'll tell them a story about a monkey." Yun Rong obviously didn't want to give up the opportunity to show off his knowledge.

In the next few days, Yun Rong taught the officials of Barbarian Mountain in the academy every night, and during the day he quarreled with Li Fugui, Ortai and Namur, and Zhao Ji showed up at first, but then he didn't come - he was a horse thief, and it was uncomfortable to sit with these literati.
