Li Yu held his head high and glanced at everyone, no one dared to come out to challenge again, so he strode towards Ulan, and Mao Han hurriedly shouted: "Stop him!" Botok also got up and commanded the guards to stop Li Yu, Meng Ke immediately waved his hand, Jeddah, Hadari and other fifty cavalrymen raised their bows and arrows together, Na Mu'er raised his knife to catch up with Li Yu, and followed him closely, Botok's guards turned pale with fright, they only had about thirty people, and they would definitely suffer a loss in the fight, not to mention that their heads had just been beaten by Li Yu, and when they saw Li Yu, they felt timid, Li Yu unceremoniously pushed away several guards who stopped him, and strode to Ulan's car, Ulan screamed in joy and jumped into his arms, and the two walked out of the escort hand in hand.

Mao Han's face turned blue with anger, but he also knew that he couldn't stop it, he pointed at Li Yu and shouted: "You have caused a big disaster, bastard, the Tumuts will kill a lot of people for your recklessness, the Great Khan married Princess Ulan to Ordos so that the Ordos people can help us defeat the murderous Chahar people, but you ruined all this, the Great Khan and Omuluntaiji will not spare you." ”

"I'm here to participate in the battle, there are men who can fight in Fengzhou Beach, and there is no need to exchange our women for victory," Li Yu replied coldly, and he turned his head and shouted to the guards again, "Is there no man in Tumut?" Do you need women to defeat your enemies? ”

"Old man, let me tell you, we have defeated the Chinese army of the Chahar people in the Xilamulun River, and we can defeat them in Kuku and Tun, you just wait and see!" Monk said triumphantly to Mao Han.

Li Yu picked up Ulan on his horse, and with a wave of his hand, he led his cavalry away.

Mei Dai Zhao is also known as Lingjue Temple, the living Buddha of Maidari in Tibet has spread Buddhism here, so some people also call it Maidali Temple, this is the first Tibetan Buddhist temple built by the Tumert people during the Altan period, the temple is also surrounded by a city wall more than one zhang high with bluestone, making this temple look like a castle again, but this city is very small, the surrounding area is only more than a mile, Altan Khan and his Zhongjin Hatun lived here for a long time before Kuku and Tun were built, here Altan Khan whimsically established the Ming Jin State, However, this Ming Jin country did not have the recognition of the Ming Emperor and the Mongolian Chahar Great Khan, and the Mongolian ministries did not take it seriously, and so Altan Khan was named the Shunyi King of the Ming Dynasty, his farce of the Ming Jin Kingdom also ended, the city and temple are one, and the Meidai Zhao who lives together with the Buddha was also named Fuhua City by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and when Altan Khan built this temple city, a large number of Han craftsmen were used, so the appearance and layout of Meidai Zhao look very similar to the Han Temple.

In a side hall next to the Daxiong Treasure Hall of Mei Dai Zhao, the Qierji Lama looked at Li Yu and asked in a low voice: "You said that we will definitely lose this battle, Yuzi, I am old, you must not scare me, then we Tumuts will be homeless and become slaves of the Chahar people!" ”

"Yuzi, we will not fail, we can gather 100,000 people, the Chahar people are tired and tired, my eldest brother and the troops of Subudi will soon rush to Kuku and Tun, we have people, we can defeat the Chahars." Batu said hurriedly on the side.

"It's useless, there are a lot of you, but there are not many people who can fight, and those tribal leaders have their own ghosts, whether it is Omulun or Subudi, no one can command them, what is the use of more of you, why did the king of Shunyi and Baiyan Taiji of Karaqin stay on the west bank of the Yellow River and refuse to come back, it is because they see that this is a certain defeat, maybe we can win a few battles, but in the end we can't stop the long-fought army of the Chahar people, Lama Yuerji, we must consider the way back for the people of Fengzhou Chuanshang!" Li Yu said excitedly.

"Yuzi, are you afraid of death? Before the war is fought, you should think about the way back, this is our home, where do you want us to retreat? ”

"I'm not afraid of death, I'm here to fight, but the Chahar people are cruel and tyrannical, I don't want the people of Fengzhou Chuan to die in vain, I'm already optimistic, the south of the Barbarian Mountain has both offense and defense, and can hide people, we can withdraw people there when the war situation is unfavorable, the Ming Kingdom never wants the Chahar people to become bigger, they will try to help us to contain Chahar, so we have a chance to survive, wait for the opportunity to fight back to Kuku and Tun."

"If you want to run by yourself, I'd rather retreat to Ordos or even the West Sea than drill into the mountains." Batu said angrily.

"Chahar Khan will not let you go, he will fight all the way to Ordos, wipe out all the right wing departments in one fell swoop, do you want to run to the West Sea, where the bitter cold land, how many people can survive, have you thought about this?"

"You all don't quarrel, what Yuzi said makes sense, our Tumut is no longer the Tumut who crisscrossed the steppe during the time of Altan Khan, now it is a scattered sand, the Taiji have their own ideas, it is really difficult to defeat the hungry wolf of Chahar Khan, I will consider this problem, but you must do your best to fight the battle in front of you, I don't want to see the Tumuts become the slaves of the Chahars." Lama Qiuerji interrupted their quarrel with a wave of his hand, and he hated Chahar Khan so much that the madman had taken away his temple and had to hide here.

"Yuzi, come to us, you have experience in dealing with the Chahars, I will put all my troops under your command, this time I will not let others drive you away." Batu breathed a sigh of relief and whispered.

"No, I don't trust those Taiji anymore, I'm going to Bansheng to gather people to defend my hometown, I can't beat them, so I'll take them to Barbarian Mountain." Li Yu shook his head.

"Most of the people in Bansheng are Han Chinese, they don't know how to fight at all, we Tumuts have never used them to fight, they can only farm, if you do this, the Taiji people will not agree." Batu angrily reprimanded, the Han people living in Fengzhou Sichuan have always been wary of the Mongols, they do not want the Han people to be able to master the armed forces, Altan Khan had used a large number of Han people, but when he and the Ming peace agreement was successful, he immediately suppressed the Han people, and the Han leaders of Bansheng, Zhao Quan, Qiu Fu and others, were handed over to the Ming State as soon as he changed hands, and these people were later tied up and executed by Ling Chi, the capital master.

Li Yu stood up and shouted excitedly: "Those Han people who have been living in this land for several generations, they are the masters of this land like the Tumuts, they must fight to defend their homeland, and they also have the right to take up arms and fight. ”

"Then let it be as you please," Batu snorted, and then his eyes were fixed on Li Yu: "Ulan was snatched away by you, what are you going to do?" Do you want to marry Ulan? I can treat you as a brother, but the Taiji will never let you marry Ulan. ”

The Yuerji Lama was not pleased: "Yuzi is Baturu, and he is qualified to marry our Ulan. ”

"But he is the Baturu of the Jin Kingdom, he has nothing on our grassland, and the Taiji people will not accept him."

"Then I and the other lamas will give him the title of Baturu, and I brought the elm, and I will not allow anyone to look down on him, he is more amazing than all the Taiji."

Li Yu really hadn't thought about marrying Wulan, he lowered his head and said: "Let's talk about this later, I'm going to Bansheng to gather people, and if the Taiji dare to stop it, I'll drive them away." ”

The Lama nodded and said, "Son, you go and do your business, take the Ulan away, the Taiji themselves are in a mess, and they don't have the heart to take care of your business." ”

Li Yu said goodbye and left, and the Lama looked at Batu and said, "He is your brother, you should help him, the grassland is going to change greatly, those Taiji will soon be wiped out, maybe he can save those poor Tumuts." ”

When Li Yu arrived at the Heihe River, Zhao Ji had already returned from Ordos, he did not go in vain, with his face mixed in the grassland for many years, invited more than 100 good hands from outside the Yulin side, taking advantage of the people in his hands, Zhao Ji fought a few battles around Kuku and Tun, and took advantage of it at first, but when he put the Qi Lama and Xi Ling Setaiji to concentrate on dealing with him, Zhao Ji's gang of horse thieves were beaten to pieces - the horse thieves and the Mongols have the same problem, and it is not bad to fight a good fight, and they will flee for their lives when they encounter a loss, The horse thieves saw that the opponent was too hard, and they were already making a fuss about breaking up, and Zhao Ji was also at a loss and didn't know what to do.

"Yuzi, you came just in time, let's beat the Chahar people together, my brother can't hold it anymore." Zhao Ji was overjoyed to see Li Yu.

"You don't have enough people, you have to find someone again, the main force of the Chahar people is coming soon, this battle is not small," Li Yu looked at Zhao Ji's gang and shook his head, Zhao Ji's people are Han and Mongolian, dressed in all kinds of clothes, and the weapons in their hands are also varied, and they are all hangy and vivid, this is a group of ordinary people who can fight, not an army.

"What can I do? Everyone who can find me has been found, and the people of Bansheng think I am a thief and are unwilling to do it with me. Zhao Ji spread his hands and replied with a wry smile.

"No, you can't do anything if there are fewer people," Li Yu beckoned to Chen Erzhu and Liu Shishi, and said to the two, "Erzhu and Shishi, put up our flag, blow our military trumpet, go to the villages of Bansheng, tell everyone to keep their land and property, and then ride on their horses and pick up bows and arrows to meet at the Heihe River. ”

Chen Erzhu and Liu Shishi turned their heads and left, and Ulan shouted to Jeddah: "Jeddah, you also go with you, and tell the Mongols and Han people in Bansheng that I, the daughter of Boshuo Ketu Khan and the sister of Batu Taiji, are also here, and I am by Batulu's side." ”

Zhao Ji was taken aback: "Yuzi, you really have to do a big job!" We Bansheng people have soldiers in our hands, and those Taiji masters may be looking for trouble! ”

"I can't help them, no matter what the victory or defeat is, the Bansheng people will become the masters of this land, and they will no longer be at the mercy of others, from now on, the Han and Mongolians will be the same Fengzhou people," Li Yu sneered when he said this, "If anyone dares to make trouble, then let him taste our strength." ”

Zhao Ji and Qiu Xian listened to the blood boiling, and now the Han people who are still in Bansheng have lived here for three or four generations, most of them are the descendants of the White Lotus Sect who were suppressed by the Ming State or the descendants of the fleeing soldiers of the Datong Mutiny in the early years of Jiajing, they dare not go home, after a few generations, the hometown of Guannai is already unfamiliar, and in Fengzhou they are regarded as guest residents protected by the Mongols, as long as the Ming Kingdom gives benefits, the Taiji people will not hesitate to snatch up their family property and tie them up to the Ming Kingdom, and the Han people of Bansheng live in panic from generation to generation, Of course, they wanted to be the same masters of the land as the Mongols.

"That's right! This is a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters, why didn't I think of it! Yuzi, you've read a few books and you're smarter than my brother, and I'm done! Zhao Ji rubbed his hands excitedly and said.

"That's right, flying on the grass, you are playing around these days, everyone is not good, who wants to follow you, this is a famous teacher, Lao Tzu will accompany you to do a big job, you can gain a firm foothold in Fengzhou, and we Northwest people also have a way out." A tall and thin man of twenty-five or six years old next to Zhao Ji patted him on the shoulder and said.

Zhao Ji hurriedly introduced to Li Yu: "This is the eagle Zhang Ding, a native of Yulin, who is the most famous inside and outside the border walls of the northwest three sides of the Ming Kingdom, and even the Ordos people are afraid of him, this kid is smart, not only does business with us, but also hangs the title of the commander of the Ming army. ”

Li Yu hurriedly bowed to Zhang Ding, Zhang Ding looked Li Yu up and down, nodded and said: "I heard Cao Shangfei talk about you, see that you are a man who can fight, we met this time, and we will be friends in the future." ”

"That sky-striking eagle, my Baturu is also an officer of the Ming Kingdom, and he is a capital division, which is bigger than your official capital." Ulan suddenly interjected.

"Alright then, we'll all be under your command from now on, Lord Toji." Zhang Ding said with a smile.

In early February, just as Li Yu was gathering people in Bansheng, south of the Heihe River, Omulun Taiji finally waited for reinforcements from the Karaqin people - Suburi Taiji took the Karaqin people, mainly from the Duoyan tribe, and rushed thousands of miles from the northeast of Karaqin, which is close to Ningyuan of the Ming Kingdom, to the foot of Daqing Mountain, Omulun's waist hardened suddenly, with the people of Subudi, plus the Tumut tribes he gathered everywhere, they had nearly 100,000 troops, and the Taiji also hated Chahar Khan to the core. I can't wait to hit Chahar Khan's big tent in the old capital city in one breath - Chahar Khan is too ruthless, I don't think that everyone is the descendant of Dayan Khan, and I will kill all the flesh and blood of the same clan, and the Taiji people are cold, since this is the case, then everyone will fight to the death, this time they no longer procrastinate, and they have brought their own people and cattle and sheep to meet.

When the Taiji gathered, Subudi Taiji told everyone that he had sent someone to contact the Jin State, and the Dajin State would definitely take the opportunity to send troops to fight the old nest of the Chahar Khan in the Xiliao River, and there was only the old camp of the Dorotes left behind in the Chahar, and a group of old and weak women and children would never be the opponents of the Jin soldiers, and the Dorotes would definitely be finished, if we could defeat Chahar Khan in Tumut Chuan, then Chahar Khan would become a homeless wild dog, and the day of his defeat was approaching. Immediately sent troops to capture Kuku and Tun, kill the rebellious Xi Lingse, and recapture Dazhao Temple, so the Taiji of each department took their respective subordinates and drove cattle, sheep and livestock to Kuku and Tun.

The actions of the coalition army frightened the habits of Kuku and Tun, and even the Dazhao Temple outside the city was not wanted, and took the troops and cattle to hide in Kuku and Tuncheng, Kuku and Tun, the famous city outside the Saiwai is actually just a small city two miles around, but the city wall is three zhang high, and covered with green bricks, and thousands of people hid in at once, and immediately packed the city to the brim, the city wall is full of young men and women, and it seems that Kuku and Tun are simply unbreakable.

The Taiji of the coalition army were immediately dumbfounded, the Mongols would only demolish the city and never learned to attack the city, and everyone knew that attacking such a tall city was indispensable to the dead, the Taiji were unwilling to use their precious population to attack the city, they hoped that others would do this unlucky errand, the result of the Taiji shirking each other was that there was no war under the city of Kuku and Tun, the people in the city breathed a sigh of relief, patiently waiting for the arrival of the Chahar army, and the people under the city also seized the time to take care of their cattle and sheep, so the people inside and outside the city have to take care of the livestock, and they are busy with each other without disturbing each other, and there is a busy scene inside and outside the city of Kuku and Tuncheng, that is, no one goes to war.

Omulun and Su Mudi were so anxious that they urged everyone to attack the city, and Batu also jumped up and down to cheer everyone up, but no one listened to them, and everyone thought that since Omulun and Su Budi were the leaders, it was also their business to attack the city, everyone could help, and the others would not be accompanied. The leaders of Tumut and Yongshao Bu, Bo Shuo Ketu Khan, Bai Yan Taiji, two difficult brothers and sisters, were bitten to death and refused to come back, Omulun and Subu were not qualified enough, and they could not command Taiji of the various departments at all, and later Omulun and Subudi also fell out - the tribes of Subudi were located in a remote area, they had always been relatively poor, and they came from a long journey, and there was a serious shortage of food and forage, and he wanted to ask Omulun for some, but Omulun himself couldn't eat enough, how could he have extra grain and grass for him, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he refused, and Subu Di was dizzy, It's hard to come to you, you can't even take care of eating, you call me around like a fool, the two almost quarrel when they meet, and the other Taiji also take the opportunity to reach out to Omulun for money and food - everyone knows that the king of Shunyi, as the king of Shunyi of the Ming Kingdom, has the most money from the Ming Kingdom, and there are more than 100,000 taels of silver in the city every year, and now it has come to this point, why not take out the money for everyone to spend, the leaders of the coalition army can't discuss anything when they get together, they just quarrel over money.

Omulun also has a hard time, his money-obsessed dad can not do with anything else, that is, he looks at the money tightly, and when he runs away, he throws the ministers and subordinates to Omulun and Batu brothers, but the money and property of the Shunyi Wangfu are swept away, and his old man refuses to come back, Omulun can't get it if he wants it, Ortai came up with an idea - ask for help from the Ming Kingdom, even if he borrows some food and comes back, Ortai personally ran to Datong with a thick old face, went fast and came back faster, the governor of Datong sent someone to tell him, this is your Mongolian infighting, It's inconvenient for us to meddle, money and food, I'm sorry, we don't have enough ourselves, there is nothing extra for you, Ortaibai ran a trip, came back in a gloomy way, seeing such a scene, Batu couldn't sit still, and volunteered to cross the Yellow River west to find his father to ask for money.
