The Jin army only arrived in Nong'an City in the afternoon, there are few people in the city here, seeing so many murderous cavalry at once, the people in the city and the people of the Kulu tribe outside the city are not lightly frightened, fortunately, there are many Ula people in the Jin army, the younger generation of Ula soldiers grew up in the pass, and the memory of their hometown has been blurred, but the older ones are different, and they are very excited to see the villagers in their hometown when they set foot on the land of their hometown. There are few broken houses in the small walls of Nong'an City, and as soon as the team stops, they camp outside the city, which is not far from Kulu's camp, and many people go to Kulu's camp to ask the villagers this and that. Kuru was a hero of the Ula people in the era when Mantai and Buzhantai were the two Baylors of the Ula tribe, and I heard that the old Kuru was here, and the veterans also brought their sons and nephews in the army to visit and ask for peace, and for a time the small camp of Kuru became lively, and the villagers finally had a full meal - the Ula soldiers brought some flour cakes and fried rice to the villagers to eat on the road.

Four Baylor discussed with the other Baylors and decided to stay here for a few days, there are a lot of Ula people in the army, it is rare to go back to their hometown and not let them stay for two days, it is reasonable to say, and there are still some Ula people in this area who have not entered the customs, it is estimated that they will also come to see their relatives in the next few days. At that time, the Jianzhou Department made the Ula people miserable, not to mention the killing and extermination, the young and strong men and women were forcibly taken away, leaving behind either the Ula diehards who fled to the mountains like Kulu, or some old, weak, sick and disabled, more than ten years have passed, and the hatred has almost been annihilated, but there is always nostalgia. Sibeile talks about human feelings, everyone can't be unreasonable, no one objected, even everyone always thought that Azigebel was lacking in heart, he also agreed, his tough old lady was a Ula person, and it was the daughter of the dead Ula Bel Mantai, he didn't want to let the old lady find him trouble after returning to Shenyang.

After these Baylors went out to do their own business, the topics of the Third Baylor Mang Gurtai and the Fourth Baylor Huang Taiji, the two Heshuo Banner Lord Baylors, were different. Mang Gurtai is worried that Lao Oba will not be able to defend his old nest Grad Zhuergen, Korqin is a poor bastard, Chahar Khan not only brought his own Chahar headquarters elite this time, but also the men and horses of the Khalkha tribes, which can be regarded as strong soldiers and horses, and the tribe of Old Oba can make up a thousand armored soldiers He has the ability, and the other Korqin tribes saw that Chahar Khan was coming, and I am afraid that they would rather stay at home than dare not help their minister.

Mang Gurtai complained that the old Khan had found such a poor and weak ally, and not only could not help much, but he was unlucky enough to drag others into the water. If you want to save Lao Oba, Lao Khan should go by himself, his old man is good, he went to Zhenbei Pass for a walk, and after hunting, he patted his ass and returned to Shenyang, and brought out 20,000 people, except for their brothers, 5,000 people, everyone else followed back. Old Khan is confused enough, if you really want to help with this, you should send more people, these five thousand people alone are not enough at all, and they will definitely suffer a loss when they fight, and his Zhenglan Banner is only twenty-one Niu Lu can not withstand the consumption.

Huang Taiji smiled: "Fifth brother, I'm not afraid of the eighteen bulls of the white flag, what are you afraid of, if you can't save it, you won't save it, and Oba himself is unlucky." I think that camping in Nong'an Pagoda is to leave a hand, we set out from Zhenbei Pass, all the way to march six or seven hundred miles, people are sleepy and tired here to rest for a few days, the old Khan can't blame us, but in a few days, the situation in Grezhurgen is clear. Lao Khan sent Meng Getu with 2,000 people to go first on the sixth day of the first month, these two thousand people are Mongolian miscellaneous soldiers who have been attached, to put it bluntly, they are going to explore the way, we will wait for their news, if we can fight, from here to Gelzhurgen five or six hundred miles, we can get there in three days, if we can't fight, we will rely here and let Lao Khan take care of it. ”

Mang Gurtai was relieved, he also planned to do so, Huang Taiji's small abacus and he hit him together, then the old Khan couldn't do anything to the two of them, and among the five thousand people, there were also the two red flags of the big Baylor and the blue flag of the second Baylor, they would definitely not want to lose people in vain, and the big Baylor and the second Baylor would naturally help them speak when the time came. Suddenly, Mang Gultai thought of something terrible: "What if the old Khan goes crazy and beats us?" ”

Huang Taiji was a little embarrassed all of a sudden, the old Khan was indeed old, and he went crazy at every turn, and over the years, he always saw that a few of them old Baylor were unpleasant, and from time to time he scolded them, punished them for their livestock, silver, and even confiscated a few of their cattle records, and when they were in a hurry, it was possible to beat them up.

"If you really can't do it, just endure a whip, it's much better than losing the population." Huang Taiji hesitated for a moment, replied helplessly, and both of them were silent.

In the past few years, the old Khan has become more and more indifferent to their older sons, and in the sixth year of the Mandate of Heaven, the old sons of Daishan, Mang Gurtai, and Huang Taiji, as well as the old Khan's dead brother Shuerhaqi's son Amin, the four major Baylors, have shared the state affairs and scored them monthly, but only one year has come to the "Eight Kings Discussion", and the little Beledeg, Yuetuo, Zilharang, Azig, Dolgon and Duoduo are all stuffed into the court to discuss politics together. Duoduo is a hairy child, and it's almost the same when they come to make trouble, which obviously doesn't like their old Baylor. Moreover, the old Khan is more and more afraid of death, in Liaoyang, the old Khan on the grounds of bandits, requiring that the palace gate of the Khan's palace must be closed every dark, if there is something important, it must be outside the palace to beat the drum and sound the gong to report and then convey the news by documents and letters, once a few guards forgot to close the door at night, the old Khan was furious and immediately cut off these foolish eggs, which is to see who everyone knows clearly. At the beginning of this year, the capital was moved to Shenyang, and the old Khan didn't even want his face, so he directly built the Khan's palace in the urn city at the north gate of Shenyang, and simply changed the place where the Ming soldiers guarding the gate lived into a two-entry courtyard to make his palace, and said that this was the safest. The old Baylors all knew in their hearts, did a few thieves have the ability to enter the capital of the Jin Kingdom and break into the Khan Palace? That's a strange thing, as for the defense of the Ming army, it is even more nonsense, it should be the Ming army's defense of the old Khan. There is only one real reason, the old Khan is guarding against his own son, and when he thinks of this, the old Baylor's heart is cold.

Mang Gurtai took a while to recover, and he will talk about the future later, and he still has to take care of the things in front of him first, he said: "Old eight, a few white armors with yellow flags have reported that there are Chahar people who have come to Nong'an Tower to rob, this matter has to be pondered, don't Chahar Khan beat Lao Oba enough, and came to the south to find our trouble." ”

Huang Taiji thought for a while and shook his head: "It's unlikely, Chahar Khan would have had the courage to fight with us a long time ago, but he has collected money from the Ming Kingdom and fought against us for so many years, in addition to forcing the Inner Khalkha tribes under his command to fight with us, when will his Chahar headquarters really fight with us, he will dare to bully Inner Khalkha and Korqin." Don't worry, fifth brother, the yellow white armor is going to chase after you, just catch a few people and come back and ask. ”

When it was evening, Azig rushed to the scene, saying that his white armor had not returned yet, and he was worried that something would happen and he would have to bring someone to pick it up himself. Azig was very scared, his father Khan handed over the yellow flag to him to take charge of, he didn't dare to make a mistake, each Niu Lu in the Jin country was only ten Baijia Baya soldiers at most, they were all the treasures of each flag, and the owner of the two yellow flags was the old Khan himself, the two yellow flags and white armor were actually the old Khan's personal soldiers, the flesh of his heart, if he lost a dozen or so white armors casually, Azig was worried that the whip of the old Khan would not spare him.

Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji were also afraid of an accident, so they immediately agreed to send someone to pick it up, but they didn't agree to Azig going in person, and it was okay to say that if something happened to Azig, they would be really in trouble, this is the concubine's own son. But Azig insisted on making the trip, and tears were about to come out of his eyes, and he was terrified at the thought of the old Khan's whip. The fifth and eighth discussed it, and it was estimated that letting the twelfth wait in the camp was to torture him, but Azig was really a little lacking in heart, and he had to be accompanied by fine people, the two thought about it, and found Sakhalian and Abatai, among the two of them, Abatai is the seventh son of the old Khan, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and Sakhalian is the third child of the Great Belle family, who is careful and proficient in Mongolian affairs, and it is more reassuring to have them with him.

So, these three people each brought their own elite of Niu Lu to hurry on the road before the sky was completely dark, they braved the wind and snow to trek all the way, and finally did not work in vain, and met Turai and his party on the way.

The snow stopped in the evening, and the wind was much lighter, and near the dirt road leading to Nong'an Tower, behind a leeward hill, dozens of bonfires crackled and burned, and in the middle of the bonfires were scattered with simple tents, and groups of soldiers lazily sat around the fire and snoozed, and from time to time there were people in armor and knives and spears to leave the fire, and trot around the camp in a huff, and then come back to continue the fire.

After they met with the brigade, they felt that there were still dozens of miles to go from here to the camp, and it was tiring and unsafe to walk at night, and Azig had brought camp equipment with them when they came out, so they decided to camp here in the wild.

Li Yu sat by the campfire he had lit, yawning as he added a few branches to the fire—he had cut a lot of firewood around him while the others were busy setting up camp, and he had experienced this not once or twice, and he knew that he should do it, and he wanted to make the fire as hot as possible to keep his companions warm, and it was not his turn to be on duty anyway. Thurai was called away by the Baylor named Azig, and Li Yu had a very bad impression of this Baylor - this guy ignores people, and he has a ** face, as if Brother Thurai doesn't like him either, so he reluctantly left with him.

There was a stout middle-aged man sitting next to Li Yu now, the bull's eye and the iron spear turned around, and when he came back, he immediately hid in other places, only Ao Bai was still sleeping with a fur wrapped under his horse's belly, this little guy was probably tired.

The middle-aged man said, "It's still the warmest here for you." He sat down, took out a slender tube and lit it on the fire, and pumped it up with his mouth, Li Yu smelled a pungent smell, his nose twitched a few times, and the man immediately handed the tube to him with a smile.

"Take a few puffs, it's a good thing, it's the best relief. Yes, I just pumped it hard. ”

Li Yu choked and coughed, his face turned red, and hurriedly waved his hand back to the man, who leaned back and smiled and took it and continued to smoke.

"My name is Abatai, I haven't seen you, what's your name?"

"My name is Li Yu, from the Uncle Kuru tribe in Wulashan Mountain."

"Ullah! You haven't made a flag yet, this name is too ugly, like those Nikan names, you are so tall and mighty, you should have a nice name. ”

Li Yu was a little angry, he knew that "Nikan" was the name of the Zhushen people for those low-status Han farmers in Liaodong, he took off his hat angrily and slapped it on his leg: "My name is Li Yu, and I am Nikan." ”

Abatai laughed again, pointed to Li Yu's head and said, "You don't have braids yet, you are ugly, and you will definitely not be able to get a wife." ”

Li Yu stood up and turned around to leave, but Abatai grabbed him, sat down with him, and said with a smile: "Don't go, you kid, talk to me, this night's old man, you can't relieve your boredom without you." Don't be angry, Uncle is teasing you. ”

Abatai's face changed and he said seriously: "You can't be Nikan, you are Zhushen, how can the Han people have your body, they don't have the courage to come to such a cold place." If you don't have a place to go, go to the uncle's white flag, the uncle has six cows, you will give you the land, if you don't have a wife, give your wife, what is the braid, let's talk about it later, anyway, you have already shaved your hair, and the ghost will care about you. ”

Abatai patted Li Yu on the shoulder: "To be honest, Uncle didn't believe in that kid from Thurai just now when he talked about your ability, so he came to take a look." Okay, the uncle will recognize you as the eldest nephew, our cattle are poorer, and the population is not large, but what does the uncle say is also the seventh of the Khan family, no Baylor is more real than the uncle, not to mention the benefits of fewer people and fewer people, doesn't it seem that our masters are capable. You're here, let's just make a good mess together, our days will definitely not be bad, and we'll be angry with those bastards. ”

Abatai spat and wanted to pull Li Yu into the gang, Li Yu heard it inexplicably, he didn't plan to leave Uncle Kuru and them, why should I go with you. Seeing that this Abatai Belle was getting more and more vigorous, Li Yu pondered that he was going to find an excuse to avoid this guy.

At this moment, Bull's Eye came to relieve the siege, saying that Azigbel and Tulai had quarreled, and the Seventh Master had to persuade him. Abatai was talking energetically, and he didn't want to leave at all, and Bull's Eye said that the two masters were arguing so badly that it was not for the respected Baylor of the Seventh Master to persuade him, so Abatai was willing to leave.

Seeing that the Abatai people had gone far, Bull's Eye told Li Yu that this seventh master had always been unable to eat at the old Khan, mainly because he was not good at his mother, just a concubine, and even with his son was not welcomed, and he was indispensable to work, but the benefits were not his share, and the eight people were all in charge of the government with the lord of the Shuo Banner, and the three elder brothers born to the eldest concubine were even more windy and rainy at a young age, and the Great Khan gave each of them fifteen Niu Lu, Azig Belle and Duoduo Belle were also in charge of the two yellow flags, and even the two sons of the Great Belle Daishan, Yue Tuo, Sakhalian is in charge of a banner, and he is still an unknown Baylor, guarding the six poor cattle in the white flag, and living a shabby life! Bull's eye warned Li Yu not to go anywhere to this seventh master, and when he went there, there was one word - poor.

Azig is indeed quarreling with Turai, Azig belongs to the kind of person who lacks heart and eyes and likes to be poor and tossed, he originally received someone, Turai made things clear, this matter is considered to be complete, everyone should be allowed to rest well and prepare to return to the camp tomorrow, the other two Baylor are very good at being people, Sakhalian will immediately go to interrogate the prisoners, and Abatai will quickly go to dig people, this is all serious business, and do not make trouble for everyone at all. Azig couldn't find anything to do and couldn't sleep, so he began to think nonsense, he felt that Bai Jia died three times, and the old Khan still had trouble with him, although he was also the son of the eldest concubine, but the old Khan preferred Duoduo and Dolgon, the old Khan started a fire, if he couldn't find other old Baylor to get angry, then he must be the one who was scolded. The more Azig thought about it, the more angry he became, so he asked Turai to scold, blaming Turai for his lack of ability, causing him to lose three elites, Turai endured it at first, and later he also got angry, and quarreled with Azig when he didn't give face anymore. Turai is not easy to bully, he is not an ordinary slave to compare, his mother is the daughter of Chu Ying, the eldest son of the old Khan, speaking of which he is also the great-great-grandson of the old Khan, he is famous for his courage and good fighting in the Eight Banners at a young age, and is deeply loved by the old man.

The more the two quarreled, the more they quarreled, the more people next to them couldn't persuade them, Azig roared with a whip in his hand, but he didn't dare to fight, and Turai was not afraid of him at all, and he also mocked: You have the ability to kill a few Chaharbayara for everyone to see, so angry that Azig jumped, Abatai couldn't persuade him when he came, Azig never put this seventh brother in his eyes, and Turai didn't give face to this poor sour Belle, how should the two quarrel or how to quarrel.

Immediately after the trial of the captives, Sakhalian sent men to escort the captives back to the camp overnight, and as soon as the arrangements were made, he heard the noise from this side, and immediately came, and as soon as he came, the noise stopped, and both Aziq and Turai came to him for comment. Sakhalian is the third eldest of the Great Bel Dai good family, not very old in his early twenties, only one year older than Azig, but very learned, proficient in Mongolian and Chinese languages, he took care of the affairs of the Zhenghong Banner at a young age, and he is the Baksh of the Zhenghongqi, the old Khan's grandson has a lot, and he is the favorite is him, and it is said that he will soon be promoted to Beile to participate in state politics.

Sakhalian frowned and listened to what happened, and said to Azig: "Twelfth uncle, you can't blame Turai for this, I just interrogated that prisoner, he is an officer of these dozen people, his person is the Chahar Central Army's Iron Lance Konot, and he is the Bayara Protector of Chahar Khan, the elite of the elite, Turai can win more with less, behead the seventh rank and capture its leader, which can be regarded as a great merit." This battle was fought right, fought beautifully, this battle is enough to make the Chahar people tremble when they see my golden iron cavalry in the future, Chahar Khan will be even more afraid of us, the loss of three white-armored Baya soldiers is not a loss, the Great Khan will not only not be angry, but will also give a reward, if the twelfth uncle is not good to speak, then I will come to the Great Khan to say. ”

Seeing that Azig's face softened, Sakhalian kicked at Turai: "Turai, you are making a loud noise, do you still have elders in your eyes?" Is there still a Shangguan? ”

Sakhalian kicked Tulai out of Azig's big tent, and the two walked not far, Sakhalian suddenly laughed: "Tulai, take me to see the Ula kid you picked up during the day, that Chahar officer, just now I trembled at the mention of the kid who killed his two subordinates in one go, such a person has to stay, and he is a strong general of my Dajin country." ”

Li Yu leaned on the horse and was in a daze, when he heard the sound, he opened his eyes and saw Turai, stood up excitedly, and grabbed Turai. At this time, a kind voice beside Turai asked, "Are you the Ula brother of Turai?" What is your name? My name is Saharan. ”

Turai whispered, "This is Sakhalian Bezi, salute quickly." Another shell, how can there be so many treasures in Houjin Kingdom, Li Yu deliberately took off his fur hat, held his head high and said: "My name is Li Yu, I don't have braids, I don't have a wife, I'm just a poor bastard." ”

When he heard this, he sat down on the ground with a smile, then got up and found a piece of wood to sit down, and waved his hand behind him; "I'm hungry, get me something to eat."

Sakhalian poked the dry food handed over by Aha with a short knife and roasted it on the fire unhurriedly, and it was on fire Li Yu saw this face clearly, this is a fair-skinned garden face, a little delicate, and the two eyes are full of serene and soft gaze, Li Yu feels that the face is familiar, but it is by no means the face of the surrounding Zhushen, those people always have some pain and hatred on their faces, Li Yu likes this person a little.

The piece of dry food was quickly roasted to the point of steaming, and the aroma of the grain suddenly penetrated Li Yu's nose, he swallowed his saliva, and his stomach rumbled very uncontrollably, Sakhalian stuffed the hot dry food into Li Yu's hand: "Roast the dumplings, eat them while they are hot." Then another one was roasted, and Turai was also hungry, and he also took out his short knife and roasted dry food.

Sakhalian quickly baked the dumplings in his hand, and said as he ate them: "I don't like braids either, it's too cumbersome to comb and it doesn't look good at all." Li Yu, your name is very good, your Ama must have read and learned to give such a good name, are your Ama and Eniang still in the Ula Department? ”

As soon as Li Yu heard this, his face changed suddenly, he grabbed his head hard, and whispered in pain: "I don't know who my Ama and Eniang are, I don't know where they are, I don't know what they look like, I only know that my name is Li Yu." His tears welled up at once, and he sobbed one after another: "I miss my Ama and Eniang!" They must be thinking about me, too! ”

Turai put his arm around Li Yu's shoulder, Ao Bai had already woken up, and his eyes were involuntarily red.
