"Report! One hundred miles to the west, more than 30,000 people, including old and weak women and children, were found to be migrating westward. The scout rushed to Zheng Zhi to report.

Zheng Zhi frowned when he heard this, it stands to reason that this season is the time when the water and grass are abundant, and it is also the best time for grazing, and the nomadic migration should also wait until the water and grass in the south are eaten, and then slowly go north.

But there are 30,000 old and weak women and children who have migrated west, and something is not right. Zheng Zhi looked back at Wu Yong.

Wu Yong hurriedly spoke: "Your Highness, could it be that Mo Ge lost someone?" ”

When Zheng Zhi heard this, he thought for a moment, nodded and said: "It should be that Mo Ge lost people, and under the butcher's knife of the Jurchens, there are still people who have escaped." The order, the army accelerated, caught up. ”

Fifteen thousand knights and more than 30,000 healthy horses were already galloping across the grassland, leading the way with scouts in front of them. This time, the baggage and other things were left behind, and slowly followed.

Without the threat of the Jurchen, Zheng Zhi is much more confident. It is not a matter to drag the baggage back dozens of miles.

On the afternoon of the second day, the horse's hooves crossed a grassy hill, and from a distance, there were few healthy horses full of cattle and sheep all over the mountains.

There are also gray-black figures dotted among them.

From time to time, the cattle and sheep lowered their heads to nibble on the tender green grass on the ground, and the whip of the master drove them around, so as not to let these animals linger among the delicious young grass.

Apparently the owners of these animals are busy on their way. The Jurchens from the east are too terrible. The 200,000 Mo Ge of the University of Nuo University was lost, and now there are less than 30,000 left. If you don't leave this pasture close to the Jurchens, there will be no room for Mo Ge to survive.

The sound of horses' hooves had already frightened these people into panic.

The countless iron armor that appeared on the grassy knoll was like a talisman, urging these herdsmen to continue westward.

Obviously, the people of Mo Ge lost the ironclad cavalry that appeared in the rear and recognized them as Jurchens. But then again, whether it is a Jurchen or Zheng Zhi, what is the difference between Mo Ge and the lost people?

Plunder is the same goal of Zheng Zhi and the Jurchens. Perhaps Zheng Zhi would not have slaughtered so much, but if the herders lost a large number of cattle and sheep on which they depended, the population would also drop sharply.

Zheng Zhi looked at the panicked Mo Ge lost people in the distance, waved his hand lightly, and said, "Da Lang, lead the troops to go around to the front and block them." ”

Now this grassland already belongs to Zheng Zhi, so the herdsmen on this grassland should also belong to Zheng Zhi. Those who run away will naturally rush back. The cattle and sheep belong to Zheng Zhi, and even if Zheng Zhi will not take all the cattle and sheep away, it is for the sake of paying taxes in the future.

Shi Jin led three or four thousand knights and galloped away, and went around in a circle to the head of the group.

At this moment, at the end of the field of vision, the dust was flying, and although I couldn't see the figures of people and horses, I could see the dust raised in the air. There was also a tremor from the ground.

Zheng Zhi frowned, and shouted: "Go around, go around to the front of Mo Ge and lose people." ”

Zheng Zhi had already beaten the horse and left first, chasing Shi and going.

If the steppe Moge loses its people without horses, it also loses the ability to fight, and the migration of his family and mouth also loses the ability to fight. The hundreds of riders slowly gathered in the crowd, Zheng Zhi didn't even look at it.

It was these people who looked at the ironclad cavalry rushing forward from their side, and they had slowly stopped, and an old man with a hundred and ten men came out of the crowd, ready to come forward to negotiate. But I could see these iron armor running past the tribe.

The old man looked a little puzzled, and only when he saw the dust rising in the distance did he understand.

But this old man also noticed that these iron armors were different, and they didn't seem to be Jurchens. He said to the left and right: "This is the Han people, and the flag is full of Chinese characters." The bald begans have also arrived, and the bald begans have come to pick us up... ”

Bald cadres, Dadan big tribe. Originally, the bald cadres were not as powerful as Mo Ge Lost People, who were directly ruled by the Liao people, and their treatment was quite good, and the geographical location was also excellent, and they could trade with the Liao State. Therefore, Mo Ge lost people and even became a middleman in the grassland trade.

However, now Mo Ge is lost, so he can only go to the bald began in the northwest. In order to seek shelter and survival, under the fence, it is natural to be a slave and a slave on the grassland. But the Jurchens entered the grassland, and there was no way out for the lost people.

Zheng Zhi didn't know this, and the horses galloped past, and the people and horses in the distance slowly became clear, twenty or thirty thousand cavalry, with incomplete leather armor, simple blades, and backward bows and crossbows. But there are many horses.

Zheng Zhi, who ran five or six miles and slowly reined in his horses, was anxious in his heart, and there was not even a person around him who could speak Turkic languages. Although Mongolian and Turkic have many similarities in grammatical structure, there are many more differences.

At this time, a group of cavalry rushed out from the Moge Lost tribe and came straight to Zheng Zhi in front of his head.

The scout came to report, Zheng Zhi looked back, and the No. 10 cavalry who came out of Mo Ge didn't care, and only signaled to let this group come forward.

After a while, an old man dressed in gorgeous clothes came to Zheng Zhitou, covered his chest with his right hand and saluted, and said: "I am Ali Beqi, the leader of the Moge Lost Division, I don't know who the noble person is?" ”

Zheng Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and looked at this old man, a little surprised, although this person's accent was weird, he really spoke Chinese. But Zheng Zhi didn't know that Mo Ge lost people can speak Chinese, mainly because of geographical relations, Mo Ge lost tribes are the tribes closest to the Han people's inhabited areas, and the trade in the east of the grassland is naturally handled by Mo Ge lost people, so there are a few people in Mo Ge who can speak some Chinese.

Niu Da glanced at Zheng Zhi and replied, "His Royal Highness Zheng Zhi, King Yan of the Great Song Dynasty!" This to receive the steppe. The grassland under the Liao State, from Mo Ge to Dadan, was ruled by His Royal Highness King Yan in the future. ”

Ali Beqi was stunned, obviously Ali Beqi had also heard of Zheng Zhi's name, and the person who broke Yanjing was the Zheng Zhi in front of him. But it was the belonging of this steppe tribe, and these foreigners seemed to be easily decided, and Ali Beqi couldn't help but be a little unhappy, and replied: "I don't know where His Royal Highness King Yan inherited the right to rule?" ”

When Zheng Zhi heard this, his eyes widened, and he shouted: "Don't you want the holy decree of the Liao Kingdom?" How about writing you a hundred? ”

The old man Ali Beqi was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness is angry, the Jurchen has no way, our clan has suffered a great calamity, and this westward migration to attach to the bald cadres is something that has been negotiated before." And now the bald don't have come, this matter... ”

Zheng Zhi understood this time, and the one who came on the other side was the bald cadre, that is, the new master of Mo Ge's lost people. Mo Ge lost people dared to say these words in front of Zheng Zhi, relying on the bald don't do it.

I heard Zheng Zhi shouting: "Prepare for battle!" ”

At the sound of an order, dozens of soldiers rushed to the left and right.

It was Alibechi's face that had not yet finished speaking, and he glanced left and right a few times, and then looked at the bald beggan who was getting closer and closer in front of him. Then I went to see Zheng Zhi.

Zheng Zhi turned his head and said: "You go back first, Mo Ge lost all his troops should return to the original grassland, and they are not allowed to move away without permission." But if there is disobedience, the whole clan will be slaughtered! ”

Alibie came here to rely on the army of Bald Warriors who had arrived, so that he could move west safely. At this time, Zheng Zhi's words were already about to start a war with the bald donors. Where did Alibech dare to speak, and now Mo Geshi has long lost the ability to fight, so he can only avoid it. Fight the horse and turn around, and the outcome of this big war will also determine the future of the lost people.

Zheng Zhi did not hesitate to start a war. Bald Beigan, Saheyiti, Albati, Erjin, Dong Heyiti, etc., these big tribes of the southern grasslands will all surrender to Zheng Zhi's feet, no one will surrender easily, war is inevitable.

As long as you defeat several tribes in a row, this southern grassland will bow down.

Zheng Zhi didn't even have the idea of negotiation, negotiation can't solve these things, only war can make Zheng Zhi get what he wants.

The trumpets were sounded, the central cavalry group had been assembled, and the two wings were swinged. Shi Jin was still outside with three thousand knights, preparing to attack the weak point of the Bald Warriors.

Yue Fei also brought two thousand cavalry out of the battle, ready to meet the flank.

The bald donkey who came from afar on the opposite side had more than 20,000 horsemen, and they also stopped their horse steps, but they were still confused, and they didn't know why so many iron armors on the opposite side suddenly began to prepare for battle.

The leader of the bald began could also frown and look at it with contempt, and asked, "Is it the Jurchen who defeated the Khitans here?" ”

There was a lost man beside him, who was the liaison between the two tribes, and he looked at it for a while before replying: "Khan, it doesn't look like a Jurchen. The words on the banner are not the totems of the Jurchens. ”

It can also be said that the atmosphere is relaxed, and the reputation of the Jurchens spread throughout the ministry as Yelu Yanxi retreated into the grassland. It is also obvious that he is extremely jealous of the Jurchens. Listening to it is not a Jurchen, naturally there is a lot less tension in my heart.

"Not the Jurchens. Then who else dares to go deep into the steppe to start a war with me? You can also ask contemptuously.

"The words on the banner look like Han people, they are Han people, they are definitely Han people." The more this person spoke, the more determined he became, and he was also looking for everything about the Han people in the depths of his memory.

can also be contemptuous, and said with a smile: "The Han people have entered the grassland, which is really a big joke." ”

can also be contemptuous of words, mostly unimpressed. Because the Han people have not entered the grassland for hundreds of years. The Han people I have heard in the grassland for hundreds of years have always been the words that the Han people were defeated by that tribe. It is the Khitan, which has been occupying the territory of the Han people for one or two hundred years and constantly defeating the Han people.

In the past two or three hundred years, except for the Western Army, some time ago, they entered the western part of the grassland and plundered some small tribes. The grassland has long been unknown to the Han people.

"The Khan must not despise the Han people, the villain once heard that Yanjing of the Liao State was broken by a Han Chinese. Now the Han people who have entered the grassland will inevitably be the Han people who broke Yanjing. "This Mo Ge lost a little bit of knowledge.

can also be contemptuous, but sat up a little straighter, and said: "Prepare for war!" ”

Twenty-thousand, as far as the Dan men, also began to prepare for battle, drawing arrows with bows and scimitars in their hands.
