Even Zizik knelt down, what else could they do with these small clan leaders? So when Zhang Zhijie's eyes looked over, the leader of the Xibe Department knelt down first and said in a deep voice: "The Xibe Department is willing to return to the imperial court and fight with the governor!" ”

The rest of the clan leaders also knelt down to express their submission, and Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "Your heart is to the court, and the court will definitely not forget you and wait!" After this battle, the imperial court will set up a mutual market in Horqin. ”

Zhang Zhijie began to integrate the army in Horqin, preparing to attack the Khanting, and at the same time sent people back to Daning to send an order, and the army was requisitioned from Daning to meet at an agreed time and place.

Originally, Zhang Zhijie just guessed that Huadang had taken refuge in Dayan Khan, but in fact, now that he was preparing to attack Dayan Khan, no matter whether Huadang had defected to Dayan Khan in the end, it was impossible to give up halfway.

As a result, the news that came back confirmed Zhang Zhijie's guess that Huadang really went to Dayan Khan, and Dayan Khan did not kill Huadang, but appointed Huadang as the commander of the Wanshu. Now Zhang Zhijie has even more reasons to attack Dayan Khan.

was about to send troops, Qizik came to Zhang Zhijie's big tent with five thousand cavalry, and the rest of the tribes also came to the big tent, these small tribes have limited strength, and each tribe can produce thousands of eight hundred, but it is considerable.

With another 10,000 cavalry, Zhang Zhijie's strength has increased a lot, but Zhang Zhijie's face is a little gloomy, because there is a tribe that has not arrived for a long time.

Qizik said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, your subordinates have already sent people to investigate, and the Ula tribe has migrated west!" ”

Zhang Zhijie said coldly: "To the west? He's gone to report to Dayan Khan! ”

The leader of the Xibe tribe hesitated: "Your Excellency, the Urabe tribe once said that it is only expedient to show respect to your lordship!" ”

Zhang Zhijie sneered: "Expediency? This is a joke on Bentu, even if he escapes to Dayan Khan's court? There will be no more Urabe in the world! ”

The chiefs felt a chill in their hearts, for they had thought that the Governor had been very merciful, but now they could not help but think that there was no Uliang Habe in the world. They felt that the leader of the Urabe was really dizzy, and they chose to turn their backs.

The Ula tribe is just a small tribe, even if it takes refuge in Dayan Khan, it will not be taken seriously, and now it is remembered by the governor, no matter what the outcome of this war is, the Ula tribe is afraid that it will be difficult to escape.

Although Zhang Zhijie was a little angry at first, he quickly put it away, the Wula tribe was just a small tribe, and even if he sent troops, it would only be a thousand horsemen. Zhang Zhijie, the cavalry, didn't look at this point, and when he hit the Khan Court, he slaughtered the Wulabu.

After the whole army, the army left the Horqin Department in a mighty way and galloped all the way to the west. Ever since Manduhai led his army to defeat Warat and establish the supremacy of the Tatar steppe, there has never been a major war of this scale in the steppe.

But now, a great war that will determine the lord of the steppe is about to break out again, Zhang Zhijie gathered the troops of the eastern part of the steppe, and at the same time mobilized the armies of Daning and Xuanfu to attack Dayan Khan's court together.

The grassland, which had just been quiet for ten years, was changing again. Zhang Zhijie led the army westward, while Tian Shiyuan also led Daning's army north, all the way to the northwest.

Originally, Qizik and the others were still a little worried, their eastern steppe tribes have always been in a weak position, although the governor said that there were still reinforcements, but after all, they had not seen it, so they had no bottom in their hearts.

Now that they finally saw it, Tian Shiyuan led the mighty army to converge, and Qizik and the others were a little excited while their hearts were stable.

Such a strong force can compete with Dayan Khan's army. If this is defeated, then these eastern tribes will reap unimaginably huge benefits.

Just when Zhang Zhijie's army and Tian Shiyuan's army were reconciled, Dayan Khan also began to pass on Khan's orders to gather troops. The Ula fled and took refuge with Dayan Khan, and brought the news that Zhang Zhijie was going to attack the Khan's court.

After Dayan Khan accepted Huadang, he once thought about this question, whether Zhang Zhijie would attack Khanting for Huadang. At that time, Dayan Khan felt that this was unlikely, because it was not so easy to attack the Khan Court with Zhang Zhijie's troops, and Zhang Zhijie should not take risks easily.

As a result, the news brought by the Ula tribe surprised Dayan Khan, who did not expect that the eastern tribes on the steppe would submit to Zhang Zhijie! Especially the Horqin Tribe, which may be a big tribe on the grassland, not only increased Zhang Zhijie's troops, but also shook the hearts of the people on the grassland.

If it was just Zhang Zhijie who led the army of the Ming Dynasty to attack the Khanting, then the tribes on the entire grassland would be devoted to the Khanting and swore to fight with Zhang Zhijie's army to the end, but Zhang Zhijie gathered so many grassland tribes, which was different.

Although Dayan Khan felt tricky, it was also an opportunity for him. Since Dayan Khan's defeat at Daning again, his prestige has suddenly fallen to a low point, and fewer and fewer tribal leaders have come to see him.

At the beginning, the Khan Court, which was full of people coming and going, suddenly became cold, and Dayan Khan had no choice but to vent on Hatun.

However, now that Zhang Zhijie has brazenly gathered troops to invade the Khan's court, this will definitely cause turmoil in the entire grassland, and it is impossible for all the tribes to stay out of it.

Although the eastern steppe tribes were subordinated to Zhang Zhijie, the central grasslands and western grasslands were still subordinated to Dayan Khan, and the strength of the central steppe tribes was the strongest.

Dayan Khan issued an order to ask all tribes to go to war, for the glory of the steppe, for the survival of the tribes, to defeat the attacking Ming army.

For a time, there was a lot of noise in the whole steppe, except for some remote small tribes, most of the tribes chose to respond to Dayan Khan's order. Although they had decided not to accept Dayan Khan's conscription again since Dayan Khan's defeat at Daning, now they had to accept it, because this time it was not an expedition but to defend their homeland!

All the tribes on the grassland mobilized one after another, and one by one the grassland men hung up their scimitars, put bows and arrows on their backs, and bid farewell to their families. Cavalry marched from all corners of the steppe to the Khan's court.

The originally deserted Khan Court suddenly became crowded, and the yurt stretched for more than ten miles. This is a spectacular scene that the Khan's court has never had, when Dayan Khan invaded Daning, he only gathered 40,000 cavalry, but now the Khan's court has gathered a full 60,000 cavalry.

Dayan Khan's heart was surging for a while, this was his last chance, if he could defeat Zhang Zhijie's army this time, he would re-establish his prestige, and if he was defeated, it would be his last glory!
