The large tent was covered with a rich Persian blanket and a light silk curtain, and the mattress was a silver mink without a hint of variegation.1 The reddish-skinned Mongolian maid brought the milk tea that had been cooked in porcelain from the Central Plains, but Urusborot did not look at the cup of milk tea that was brought to him, but still stared at the fire sieve in front of him.

"When is this, you still have the heart to drink tea!"

Urusborot could not have imagined that when he returned to the camp with the fire sieve, he would not be in a close battle with his third brother as he had agreed to - on the contrary, they would face the defeated Balsborot. What he didn't expect was that the fire screen, which had been conniving at his grandson Bayar and Turultu, had already laid down a secret hand, and when the two of them and Balsborough led the army to invite Bayar, his soldiers and horses took the first step and robbed his sister, who was praised as the pearl of the grassland.

Although the horses of Balsborot's army once surrounded the camp tightly, and even killed the messenger of the small tribe who asked for help, they finally had to retreat ten miles away under the threat of human life. Then Balsborough led his troops back, just in front of the garrison horses that had been prepared to defend the defense, and were caught off guard by a rain of arrows, and then encountered their rear army, and left in a great defeat.

And his hateful arrow hit Balsborough even hard!

"The warriors on the grassland can not drink alcohol, but they can't not drink milk tea." The fire sieve motioned to the maid to come over, took another cup of milk tea, and then put it down, and then said lightly, "When the ancestors were driven to this grassland from the picturesque rivers and mountains of the Central Plains, do you know how much time did it take for those nobles who were used to enjoying blessings in the Central Plains and accustomed to fine clothes and jade food to get used to these fishy meat and get used to living in pursuit of water and grass?" Our ancestors were also the masters of those beautiful cities, such tea bricks are not eye-catching at all, and even non-excellent tea cannot be eaten, but now even if such tea bricks are used, we have to rob them, or rely on the caravans of the Central Plains to sneak in to bring us, otherwise no matter how powerful the warriors are, they will fall early. ”

Urusborot didn't know what the fire sieve was trying to say, but if it wasn't for the fire sieve this time, let alone solve the current crisis, they might have fled farther west like lost dogs, so he could only listen patiently.

"Even if your father Khan has the ambition to unify all the tribes and restore the glory of the Golden Family, you should know if he has ever thought about gathering all the troops and horses to reconquer the Central Plains." Seeing that Urusborot was stunned for a moment, he smiled slightly, "No! Your father Khan was a man of great ability, but he was also a judge of the situation. The kind of opportunity that our ancestors had at the moment. Our horses seem to be able to wreak havoc on their border towns like no man's land, but once they have gathered hundreds of thousands of troops, then we will have to retreat. The Central Plains may not have anything else, but the only thing they lack is people! ”

"But we don't have it!"

Huo Sieve stood up all of a sudden, and said coldly: "The internal friction of each department alone is at least a few people, dozens or even hundreds of people every time, but how many years can women give birth to a child?" How many years will it take for a child to grow up? You used to be the second prince in the Khan's court who pinned the infinite hopes of the Great Khan, then you should know that the combat power of our soldiers and horses is comparable to when Genghis Khan unified all the tribes! It is true that the Ming people are far inferior to the situation when they drove our ancestors back to the grassland, but our soldiers and horses are also not the invincible iron cavalry that conquers the world! Urusborot had always felt that the fire sieve was old, but when he heard these words at this moment, he realized that he had underestimated this former warrior. Even if you are old, you can't kill the enemy as well as a young man, but you are still old and strong! So, he finally asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a pro-soldier's voice came from outside the tent: "Taishi, I have caught a few Ming spies!" ”

"Ming people and spies?" Urusborot was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily, "What else is there to say if you catch a spy at this time, just behead it to show the public, and you still need to report it?" ”

"If you come at this time, you must not be an ordinary person, if you kill it, you will regret it for the rest of your life!" The fire sieve then opened his mouth after Urusborot, and when he saw that the other party looked disapplieving, he didn't explain, and directly commanded, "Escort people to the big tent, I will ask in person!" ”

Returning to the center seat covered with tiger skins and sitting down, the fire sieve picked up the cup of milk tea again, and when he saw that Urusborot had finally picked up another cup of milk tea that the maid had placed on the high table, he drank the warm and warm liquid for a long time, while thinking about who it would be this time. If it was still the same Cao Qian before, then, even if things could be discussed, he would have to detain people. Just slaughtering the small tribe under his command, he can't easily let go of this account!

"Taishi, the spies have all been brought!"

With a report from outside, the fire sieve looked up and saw four people tied up with flowers and tied up by several personal soldiers who were driven into the military tent with the back of their knives. With just one glance, his gaze fell on the burly and majestic middle-aged man with a stubbled face and beard. Although they are all dressed in the same color, just by virtue of this person's natural standing at the forefront, coupled with a fearless expression, it can be seen that this person must be the leader. Therefore, he made a gesture and ordered his soldiers to take the other three down for the time being, and looked at the middle-aged man with great interest.

"Who are you, sign up!"

He knew that most of the people who were sent here at the moment could not understand Mongolian, so he did not leave any interpreters, so he naturally used Mongolian. Sure enough, I saw the man standing there with his head held high, his eyes turned to him, but he asked bluntly, "You are the fire sieve?" ”

Urusborot frowned, but the fire sieve laughed: "Yes, I am the fire sieve!" ”

The fire sieve became famous from the Tianshun period and has been one of the most troublesome figures on all sides of the Ming Dynasty for decades. Moreover, unlike Yi Sima Yin, who was once glorious and finally died and defeated, he entered the Hetao in one fell swoop in the middle and late stages of Hongzhi, and repeatedly harassed the three sides of Shaanxi, and the defenders had no way to do it, and they have been active until now. At this moment, Jiang Bin couldn't help but feel a little respect in his heart when he faced this old man with white hair and hair, but he was so energetic that he didn't know how many years or even more than ten years he could live.

Old and immortal, he is really the No. 1 hero! No wonder it can ravage the Ming frontier for decades!

"I came here to deliver the word on the orders of Ping Beibo. If you are willing to raise a clan to join you, then in the past, you raged with the army, and the court can not blame the past. If you don't want to, you'll see you on the battlefield in a few days! ”

Jiang Bin originally put Xu Xun's words down directly, and seeing that Huo Sie's face suddenly turned terried, he knew that this was a critical moment, and although he was extremely nervous in his heart, his face was stiff and unmoving. Seeing that the young man next to the fire sieve was pale, but he pressed it down under a gesture from the fire sieve, and the fire sieve himself stared at him coldly, he cleared his throat and cheered up and said, "Whether it is attached or warned, it can be decided in one word." ”

"I didn't expect Ping Beibo to be bold himself, and he also sent such a bold but unreasonable person as you!" The fire sieve smiled, and the light in his eyes was even brighter for a while, "Who does he think I am fire sieve?" For decades, where have I not been to your borders with troops, and how many generals have not been defeated under my hands? He's just a kid who's only won a battle or two, and he's traded things with me a few times, and he thinks he'll be able to support me? This last sound is like a binge. If it weren't for Xu Xun's face-to-face teaching, he had already said this heavy reaction, no matter how bold Jiang Binrao was, but at this time in the enemy camp, he would inevitably break out in a cold sweat. However, at this time, he was nervous, but he was finally able to maintain his composure, and immediately said calmly: "I haven't finished my words yet." The so-called attached, you can still stay in this loop for the winter, but promise not to commit any more offenses, my army in and out, can guarantee that you will not be regarded as an enemy, and can exchange markets with you. But if there is a war, the elite of hundreds of thousands of Beijing battalions and 12 regiments and battalions of the Beijing division are waiting for the day, and they will open Shaanxi in the near future! ”

What does that mean?

The fire sieve suddenly changed its complexion. This messenger sent by Pingbei Bo Xu Xun did not mention the so-called so-called discord of being attacked by the enemy, but the benefits and disadvantages he had not expected before. I remembered that when Balsborough once said that he had leaked his mouth, he once mentioned that Xu Xun was just a hairy boy, and he actually planned to return to Hetao with Yang Yiqing, a scholar, from last year to this year, a lot of secret agents in Shaanxi have been uprooted, and he couldn't help but secretly gasp.

Is Mingren really ready to revert to the Loop? How is this possible, for so many years, I heard that there has been controversy in their court, and the biggest reason is that in his opinion, there are two words - money, people. If there is such a large area as the Hetao, it is natural to need people to defend it, and because the river is guarded, it is natural to need money. Neither of these things can be conjured out of nothing, not to mention, his fire sieve has been stationed in the river loop to graze, and if the Ming people want to drive him out, they will have to pay a heavy price!

And this time, they are the real robbery! Only then did Balsborot and the others flee in embarrassment, naturally there will be no other forces in this loop, even if there is, it will be more convenient and convenient to clean up, at least he will never care about those scattered rangers being cut off. As for the Ming people, if they had built a border wall along the south bank of the Yellow River in accordance with their usual purpose, it would also reduce the pressure on Dayan Khan Batu Munk, who was immediately on him.

But if this is the case, he can be regarded as being enclosed in the three-third of an acre of land in the Hetao! There are side walls on the east, west, north and south, and it is conceivable that Yang Yiqing's ability to make holes is great, but his ability to build walls is definitely not bad. The most important thing is that from last year to this year's successive battles, even if you add the old and weak women and children, there are less than 20,000 men and horses under his command. And staying here is enough for him to recuperate.

Pingbei Bo Xu Xun, he is really young and calculating!
