Chapter 403: Farewell
Bo Yao Wuzhen was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Could it be~?" Tsk, Cheng Yue is really bold! Okay, I don't care, you can do it yourself, don't let him be too presumptuous. ”
The two princesses blushed and nodded, and Bo Yaowu couldn't help but be curious, and leaned in and asked, "What is Cheng Yue going to do?" ”
The two princesses just didn't say anything, and Bo Yao Wuzhen probed for a long time and got nothing, so he had to let them go with a smile.
When Cheng Yue came to the Golden Horde, most of the Mongol nobles were already waiting in the tent, and Kublai Khan was of course there.
Cheng Yue walked up to Kublai Khan and saluted: "The minister is not strong enough to drink, come one step late, and the Great Khan forgives his sins." ”
Kublai Khan blamed him, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it's not in a hurry anyway." Go say hello, they're about to leave, and we don't know when we'll meet next. ”
Cheng Yue hurriedly stepped forward to say goodbye to the Mongolian nobles, and his busy brothers Timur, Hehu, Duwa, and Aruhun said goodbye to Cheng Yue one after another.
Cheng Yue finally walked in front of Haidu, Haidu reluctantly handed Kutoulun into Cheng Yue's hands, sighed, laughed again, and turned away after exchanging cherishes, without even looking back.
The Mongol nobles who were full of tents soon left for the rest of the Mongol kings who followed Kublai Khan.
Kublai Khan summoned Cheng Yue to sit in front of him and said, "Cheng Yue, do you think there will be no more trouble in the three khanates in the past few years?" ”
Cheng Yue said: "If nothing else, there will definitely be none." The minister made it clear to them that if they dared to betray the Great Khan again, they would not have another chance. Moreover, their forces have been greatly lost, and the forces of the Great Khan have increased instead of decreasing, what can they do? The best thing to do was to wait for the Great Khan to launch his expedition to the west. They could expand their territory westward. Make up for your losses. ”
Kublai Khan said: "The matter of the Western Expedition ......"
Cheng Yue said: "Don't worry. The minister knows what to do. ”
Kublai Khan smiled slightly, raised a bowl of mare's milk wine and drank it with Cheng Yue, and said, "I am very relieved." ”
After the nobles of the khanates had left, Kublai Khan ordered the camp to be removed. When they came, more than 200,000 horses became more than 300,000, and the soldiers were strong and strong, and the banner was waving, and the momentum was even greater.
Cheng Yue's army also increased considerably. In addition to the more than 6,000 men at the time of arrival, the new army of slaves consisted of 5,000 men. plus their families, it is nearly 10,000. Kutoulon led a thousand elite horsemen, and the two princesses also had more than 1,000 pro-troops, plus 10,000 horses sent by Haidu, the momentum was huge, and it seemed to be an army of its own.
The two princesses got into the carriage prepared for them by Cheng Yue again, but this time there was an extra Kutoulon in the carriage.
Kutoulon groped around the carriage with envy, and from time to time let out a cry of exclamation, shocked by the luxurious comfort of the carriage.
Wan Ze smiled: "Do you like it?" If you like it, I'll go back and ask Cheng Yue for one, and I will order an enlarged one for you. This way you can also sleep comfortably in the car. ”
Nangjia smiled and said, "Sister, you don't need to say it. Cheng Yue will definitely do it, Haidu has sent 10,000 horses. ”
Wan Ze teased: "That's the dowry she saved for herself, and Haidu still left thousands of horses." ”
Ku Toulon blushed and whispered: "Don't mention these things, I heard that Han people don't like women to fight and kill." ”
Nang Jiazhen rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Who said that?" Cheng Yue is not an ordinary Han person, he likes women to have ability, and the more capable you are, the more he likes it. ”
Kutoulon nodded suspiciously, and did not say anything more.
The army marched for half a day and encamped at night.
Cheng Yue's tent was full of laughter again. Talahai didn't eat enough of the barbecue that day, and forced Cheng Yue to roast again, Cheng Yue had to obey, a group of women ate with a smile, and only Ku Toulon was always by Cheng Yue's side to help.
The next day, I set out again, and by noon I could see the city of Alimari in the distance.
The tribes of the Mongol tribes camped outside the city of Alimari and cheered when they saw Kublai Khan's army returning. This time, both the Hongji tribe and the Wangu tribe suffered heavy losses, and Kublai Khan was bound to compensate them well.
After more than an hour of marching, the army entered the city, and Cheng Yue went to rest.
The two princesses could no longer follow Cheng Yue, but they silently followed Cheng Yue into Cheng Yue's marshal's mansion, which made everyone look sideways.
Cheng Yue entered the back house and lay down on the bed, Lilac hurriedly put down her luggage and stepped forward to massage Cheng Yue's head and shoulders. Gillian and Wan'er sat next to Cheng Yue and beat their legs.
The concubines cleaned up their residences under the command of Zhang Shufang, and only Hu Toulon was at a loss. The first time she went to Yue's inner house, Zhang Shufang did not assign her a job, and she stood still for a long time and began to help pack her luggage and make the bed.
Ku Toulun's position is very embarrassing, she is not a concubine, and she is not a hostage, and no one will take Cheng Yue's slave and maid seriously. So who is she? Cheng Yue didn't speak, no one knew, so naturally no one would send her.
Cheng Yue closed his eyes and said, "Ku Toulun, have you arranged all those people?" ”
Hu Toulon said: "Yes, everything has been arranged, and I asked my subordinates to arrange it." ”
Cheng Yue said "um" and said, "I want to arrange it like this, when I return to Lin'an, you and the new army of slaves will be combined into an army, led by you." The training will be repeated according to my method, equipped with the same equipment as mine, and become my guard, what do you think? ”
Toulun was taken aback and said, "Of course that's good, but then you still let them go back?" ”
Cheng Yue smiled lazily and said, "How can they go if you don't leave?" Some people who go back have to return all their equipment, and they can't even leave a single piece of clothing. ”
Kutoulon bit his lip and said, "How long will you let me follow you?" Is it really going to take a lifetime? ”
Cheng Yue smiled, stretched out a hand, and suddenly Toulon stepped forward to hold it.
Cheng Yue opened his eyes, looked at her and said word by word: "I will speak for a lifetime!" ”
Suddenly Toulon's heart was beating wildly, and he finally managed to control the throbbing, and said, "Then who am I?" ”
Cheng Yue smiled incomprehensibly and said, "You'll know sooner or later, now is not the time." ”
Suddenly Toulon obediently said "oh", and his heart was full of joy. knew that Cheng Yue told her in order to reassure her, and Cheng Yue had already arranged for her.
At night, Ku Toulon was arranged to a separate residence, in the corner of the inner house, so that the sound of Cheng Yue and the concubines could not be heard.
Kublai Khan rested for several days and was very busy. First, it is necessary to count the dead and wounded and redeploy the defenders. Second, it is necessary to reward the Mongolian ministries. The battle ended in reconciliation, with little loot, and Kublai Khan pondered it considerably. Fortunately, Alimari has been stationed for a long time, and all kinds of materials are piled up, although it is a little painful, it can finally cope with it.
The Mongolian ministries didn't think too much, and in three or four years, there was Cheng Yue's westward expedition, and that was the time to really get rich!
Cheng Yue and Sa Buhu were worried that there would not be many opportunities after returning to Dadu, so they had trysts in that house several times. For the last time, Sa Buhu directly brought Nu Han as well, and the two concubines served Cheng Yue together, and Nu Han learned this amazing secret!
Nuhan was surprised, and Marco Polo was even more surprised. He thought that there was only one concubine who had an affair with Cheng Yue, but he didn't expect that there would be a second one! O my God!
Seeing that they are about to leave Alimali, I don't know when the next time they can stay together like this, the two concubines and Cheng Yue enjoyed the joy of fish and water, and almost couldn't go back due to physical collapse.
There's another interesting thing that's going on these days. Cheng Yue rescued tens of thousands of slaves and used them to form a new army, and the new army of slaves was stationed outside the city, not far from the place where the Mongol tribes were encamped, so soon the slaves with fast brains fled to the slave army garrison at night and begged to be taken in.
Everyone is from a slave background, how can it be possible to push people out? Anyway, there were many people in the army, and it was not difficult to hide a few people, so these fugitive slaves were settled.
The Mongolian tribes found that there were fugitive slaves, they were shocked and angry, and they couldn't find them everywhere, the biggest possibility is, of course, that they fled into the new slave army, but the new slave army was Cheng Yue's! Who dares to break into the military camp in the Mongolian tribes to ask for someone from Cheng Yue! If you kill you with a knife, you don't even have a place to shout grievances, let alone go in and search! In the end, I could only look at the gate of the new military camp and sigh, go back to make up for the dead, and strengthen the guard.
Unexpectedly, the slaves of the various Mongolian tribes saw that no one had anything to do with Cheng Yue, and they were greatly encouraged, and slaves continued to flee in groups, without even hiding it, and went directly to the camp of the slave army.
Li Ting and Liu Guojie, who were temporarily in charge of the slave army under Cheng Yue's order, simply opened the door day and night, and as long as they could enter the door, they would all be sheltered!
The Mongolian tribes were in an uproar when they heard this, and the crowd was furious, but after discussing for a long time, they even sued Luo Zhen and Ai Buhua, but no one dared to come forward to Cheng Yue to ask for the guilt.
Cheng Yue knew about this earlier, but he deliberately pretended to be deaf and dumb, and did not allow his subordinates to talk about it.
Ai didn't think about it again and again, and finally brought it up in front of Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan was deeply troubled. Since Cheng Yue pretended to be confused, it means that he secretly supports him, even if he finds Cheng Yue, he will have something to say that he will be difficult to deal with.
Cheng Yue's sharp teeth are famous, anyway, it's not a big deal, and the Mongolian ministries didn't collectively sue themselves, so they simply didn't care about themselves, hung high, and let Ai Buhua go to Cheng Yue to discuss.
Love doesn't take a wry smile, Kublai Khan doesn't care, where can he think of a way? Anyway, I told the Great Khan that I could explain it when I went back.
The Mongol tribes vaguely learned from Aibuhua that it was inconvenient for the Great Khan to come forward, so they had no choice but to find their own way, and after nightfall, they tied up the slaves so that they could not escape.
This provoked greater anger and determination on the part of the slaves. On the day when Cheng Yue and the two imperial concubines worked together in the secret house, the slaves took advantage of the opportunity of the day to connect with each other, assign tasks, and use various methods to break free from the rope at night, and then rescue each other.
Everything went well, and more and more slaves were rescued, until they were discovered by the Mongols, who were freed in the middle of the night. (To be continued......)
