Chapter 276: The Wind Rises
Temur's performance made Zhang Chao have a trace of suspicion - obviously he was hesitant at the beginning, but after Han Ermei opened his mouth to express his position, he immediately made a decision, this burly-looking Mongolian man should not be like many Han people, he also has the problem of fearing guilt, right?
However, Zhang Chao didn't care very much about whether Temur was afraid of inwardness, anyway, he didn't run in vain this way, but he moved to the rescue. www.biquge.info Although he was treated as a villain before, and was tied up by Wuhua before, Zhang Chao didn't take it to heart, after all, he compared his heart to his heart, Zhang Chao thought about it from the perspective of those Mongolian men who were on duty at night - of course, Zhang Chao naturally knew that he was not a Mongolian at all, in short, Zhang Chao felt that if he encountered a similar situation, he might do more than that Batu.
That Batu went out to arrange for manpower, and Zhang Chao finally had a chance to make a personal request about him, "Dare to ask, do you have anything to eat here?" I'm almost too hungry to walk. ”
……
Riding on a horse and hurrying, compared with only relying on two legs before, it is simply a heaven and an earth, Zhang Chao feels that he has never been so happy, especially now that he is in a state of being full of food and drink, this sense of happiness is even more obvious, the despair of rushing on the prairie with a hungry stomach, Zhang Chao probably never wants to experience it again.
After tasting the leg of lamb and milk tea he ate before leaving, Zhang Chao felt that the food of the Mongolians was not bad, not as fishy as he imagined, of course, this was largely because Zhang Chao was already hungry and red-eyed, and it was estimated that even if Zhang Chao was given a piece of raw meat at that time, he could eat it extra sweet.
Moreover, since they have already eaten other people's things, Zhang Chao is also a little embarrassed to continue to call the people of the Temur tribe "Mongolian Tartars" in his heart, but replace them with the more neutral term "Mongolians".
Temur's tribe is not very large, counting the old and young women and children, there are only more than 1,000 people in total, and there are a total of about 200 strong men who came out with Zhang Chao this time, and the men who stayed in the tribe and did not go with them, as long as they can afford to hold a knife, are all organized to protect the safety of the tribe all night.
"About ten miles to the south is Jiannu's camp, I guess Han Dazhu and my brother will wait until dawn to do it, we don't have to go too fast." Zhang Chao rode his horse and said to Temur, the leader.
"Jiannu is really aggressive, the camp is so close to our tribe, if we don't do it today, we may be plotted by Jiannu one day." Han Ermei rode a horse and took over Zhang Chao's words - if it weren't for the fact that it was a woman's voice, Zhang Chao would definitely not recognize Han Ermei as a woman just by the moonlight.
"It's windy, be careful not to catch a cold." Although Han Ermei didn't look weak at all, Temur still cared about his wife.
"In all fairness, Han Dazhu's Mongolian brother-in-law is not bad." Now Zhang Chao's impression of Temur is getting better and better, "If the Mongols were all people like Temur, it is estimated that the Ming Dynasty and the Mongols would not have fought for so many years." ”
Zhang Chao's thoughts were soon interrupted by an important discovery.
"Wait! What the? Got the wind? Zhang Chao exclaimed.
"Yes, it's windy." Han Ermei and Temur didn't know why the "Zeng Sheng" brother who came to report the news suddenly became so excited, and looked at Zhang Chao with a puzzled expression.
"God help me!" Zhang Chao said with a smile, "Mrs. Zhuge Liang's story of borrowing the east wind should have been heard, right?" ”
"Oh, I see!" Han Ermei also quickly understood why Zhang Chao was so happy, after all, Han Ermei had also heard a lot of storytelling and singing.
Then Han Ermei explained to Temur, who was still puzzled, and said some Chinese words mixed with Mongolian dialect that Zhang Chao couldn't understand, and soon Temur also showed a happy expression - although he hadn't heard of the allusions of "borrowing the east wind" and "burning the red cliffs", he still understood the simple truth that the fire borrowed the wind.
"If everything goes well with Brother Han and my brother, it won't take two hours, and it is estimated that we will be able to see a sea of fire!" Zhang Chao couldn't help but think of the scene of the burning of the Jiannu company camp, and said very excitedly.
"Yes, when the time comes, I will take someone to rush and kill for a while, and find an opportunity to cut off the head of the emperor Taiji!" Temur is also full of confidence, and his body is full of the pride of a man on the grassland.
"If Brother Special can really achieve this great achievement, I will definitely ask the emperor to reward Brother Special Brother for a heavy reward when I turn around!" Zhang Chao also said excitedly.
may be habitual, or it may be influenced by Han Dazhu's sentence "My brother-in-law's surname is Te", Zhang Chao also directly called Temur "Special Brother".
However, the issue of this title is no longer the point, because as soon as Zhang Chao's words came out, he found that he seemed to have leaked his identity, and he had already discovered that Temur and Han Ermei were looking at him with scrutinizing eyes.
However, Zhang Chao turned his head and thought about it, there was nothing to keep secret from them, so he simply told the truth, "Don't hide it from the two of you, I am the Jinyi Guard sent by the Great Tomorrow, and this time I am specifically investigating the transactions between the merchants of Zhangjiakou and the Jiannu army." ”
"I said that it is becoming more and more difficult to change some salt, tea and other things in Zhangjiakou now, it turns out that those damn businessmen saw that Jiannu was powerful, and they all went to do business with Jiannu!" After listening to Zhang Chao's words, Temur also suddenly realized, and instantly gave birth to a sense of "hatred and hatred".
Zhang Chao suddenly found that the current situation was very absurd - the Jinyi Wei of the Ming Dynasty was with the Mongols, and the merchants of the Ming Dynasty were with the Jiannu, and both the Jiannu and the Mongols who were at war on the grassland had the mark of the Ming Dynasty.
When is it that the brocade guards of the Ming Dynasty and the merchants of the Ming Dynasty can become all the way, maybe the Mongols and Jiannu can all be pacified.
Of course, Zhang Chao also knew that judging from the current situation, before completely getting rid of Wang Dengku and their merchants, the above goal was really impossible to achieve.
After all, they are riding horses, and the distance of more than ten miles is not a long road, so although Zhang Chao and they are not in a hurry, it is still much faster than when Zhang Chao walked on foot before, Zhang Chao estimated that they have walked at least seven or eight miles now, and it will not take long to arrive.
Suddenly, Han Ermei exclaimed, "Look, there's such a big fire over there!" ”
