Erek finally agreed to Burhan's proposal, and the people of the Uligi tribe who transported grain also confirmed that the entire camp of the Tushetu Khan had begun to migrate towards the southern Gobi and was expected to arrive in less than half a month, while the army of the Tushetu Khan had already assembled in Khan Bogdor. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Bulhan, who received the news, slapped his thigh happily and smiled: "Haha! It's really all ready, only the east wind is owed! Look! Look! The east wind is coming. Hahaha! Ladies and gentlemen, the Tushetu Khan has sent troops. ”

Can the courtiers not be happy? After preparing for more than half a year, it was finally time for the harvest season, and of course they were very excited.

Burhan was not carried away by the joy, and he should be happy after winning the suit. "Generals obey orders!"

Hearing the general of Burhan, everyone held their breath one by one, everyone wanted to participate in such an important battle, but everyone understood that it was impossible to leave and naturally someone should stay and garrison the old camp, but everyone expected that this person was not themselves.

Burhan looked around at the eager eyes, and said firmly, "This time, the four major cavalry armies must participate in the battle, but they can't all leave. Who carried forward the spirit and volunteered to stay in the old camp? ”

"This...?" As soon as Burhan said this, all the generals immediately lowered their heads, they really didn't dare to look at Burhan, what if they chose themselves? Don't say that you don't have this opportunity, don't say that you are distressed, how can you explain to the soldiers this time? No one wants to do that.

Burhan smiled, "Haha! If no one wants to carry it forward, then name it, and you can't change it if you point to someone. "Generals think about it, let's do it, although it's not fair, there's no way!

"Although the set is small, but behind it is the Tumut Mongols, we have to be careful, the army may not be able to fight for a while and a half, and the longer it drags on, the more bad it will be for us. There are more troops going, and the guard strength of the old battalion will be weak, and if the old battalion loses our Hechi Ti Department, it will really be rootless. Therefore, Ben Khan decided that the dragoons, wolf cavalry, and tiger cavalry, as well as the chief guard and the Naulus battalion, all participated, and the leopard cavalry and the blue-dyed Han army camp remained to guard the old camp. ”

When considering candidates, Burhan has to integrate his own feelings to some extent. The Leopard Cavalry was commanded by Mozhigen, who was strictly speaking a general of the Kali lineage, not a descendant of Burhan. Therefore, the middle and low-level generals of the entire Leopard Cavalry Army are basically from Burhan, so that the Leopard Cavalry will be more relieved to stay in the old camp Burhan, even if Mo Rigen has any two hearts, his generals are absolutely loyal. In addition, the Han military camp has always been under the special care of the three generations of leaders of the Hechiti Division, although the number is not large, but the level of loyalty is not low. It is even more rare for Burhan, who lacks kinship. Since Guo Wei was appointed as the commander of the wolf cavalry, the Han military camp has been handed over to the management of Aizen, and Burhan has the grace of his life, and Aizen is absolutely reliable.

The words of the Great Khan are the golden rule, and at this time, you can do what you want! It's not that they don't want to follow Burhan to fight on the battlefield, it's just that they all know that the Hechi Ti Department can not have today by fighting for power.

Burhan didn't hear any objections, which was good, he nodded and said, "That's good! Is there a problem that the troops who were ordered to go out must arrive at Zini Nao within a month to assemble? ”

"Obey the Great Khan's decree!"

While Burhan was preparing for battle, the Tumut Mongols sensed that something was wrong with the recent winds.

Qingcheng - Naturalization, the royal city of the Tumut Department, in the era of Altan Khan and Sanniangzi, it became the main city of the Central Plains and the Mongolian tribes, and it was also the gateway to Ganning in the west. Now, with the continuous internal friction of the Ministry of Tumut, the merchants are not guaranteed and slowly decline. In particular, the rise of the purple mud of the Hechi Tibu has made the city's function even thinner.

"Newspaper .... Report the Great Khan! The Ming court suddenly increased its troops by 100,000 in the important towns along the Xuanfu-Datong line, I don't know what it wants, please make a decision! ”

"What?" After receiving the report from Tanmalai, Bu Lost Rabbit was very surprised. The Ming court has always had a good relationship with the Tumut Ministry, but I don't know what has happened in recent years, the scale of the border pass market is getting smaller and smaller, not to mention, this time it dares to openly increase troops?

All the activities of the Ming court were a weather vane, which foreshadowed the foreign policy of the imperial court. Bu Lost Rabbit couldn't help but be a little afraid of what Wanli had done over the years, although Tumut was not afraid of the Ming Court, if the two sides were at war, they would have the upper hand. However, it was not only Tatumit who was around, but also the Chahar Mongols. I heard that Lin Dan Khan of Chahar was a pro-Ming Mongol Great Khan, and in recent years, with the help of the Ming court, he had armed an army of more than 100,000 (somewhat exaggerated) in the limelight, and he had to consider the movements of the enemies around him.

"Newspaper... Great Khan! Tushetu Khan's army gathered a large army at Khan Bogdo, and General Balang sent a villain to report to the Great Khan. ”

Bu Lost Rabbit almost fainted when he heard the news. If the Ming court increases the troops, he will at most send an envoy to Datong to hold him accountable, and then he will not be able to send 20,000 troops to release the horses outside Datong and come back, I believe that the Ming court will not dare not disobey. However, the increase of troops of the sworn enemy of the Tushetu Khan Department is another matter, and he cannot make the decision on this matter alone.

Quickly convene a tribal meeting to discuss the matter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone knows about the increase in troops of the Tushetu Khan Department and the Ming Court, let's talk about your thoughts!"

The nobles of the Tumut tribe were only discussing something in private, but no one dared to speak. To tell the truth, Bu Lost Rabbit was able to become the Great Khan of the Tumut Department because the right-wing nobleman Taiji hated the behavior of Mrs. Admiralty (the third lady), so he was elected to be the Great Khan. However, he bears the name of the Great Khan but does not have the courage of the first Khan, and so far he has not been able to control all the territory of Mert, but has to be subject to Sulu Taiji and his uncle Maoming Antaiji in all aspects, which is really a wreck.

Seeing that no one spoke, Bu Lost Rabbit got angry and roared regardless of it, "Usually when something happens, you can't shout one by one, and when you encounter a big event, you should be fucking dumb!" Come! Hurry up and ask the living Buddha to come here. ”

Zundan Living Buddha is a master in the Dazhao Temple, from Tibet to the city of naturalization, it is the opportunity of the heir of the rabbit, because he is well versed in Buddhism and the truth is respected by the rabbit as a teacher, and he gives him advice on weekdays.

"No need to please!" But it is the living Buddha of Zundan. Bu Lost Rabbit was about to open his mouth, and Zun Dan took action to dissuade "Great Khan!" I already know about the Ming court and the Tushetu Khan. ”

The living Buddha and other nobles also stood up to greet each other, and most of the Mongolians, especially the right-wing Mongolians, believe in the Yellow Religion, and the status of the living Buddha in people's hearts is not ordinarily high. The great khans of all dynasties sat down and the national teachers were all eminent monks.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" The Living Buddha gave a Buddha salute to the nobles, and then said, "Great Khan! This time the side matter is strange, how can the Ming court be so consistent with the Tushetu Khan Department? ”

Bu Lost Rabbit also felt that something was wrong, but he had been dazed by these things, and he no longer prioritized things, so what good way could he do?

"Dare to ask the Guru! But if there is any way, please teach me! "Of course, you have to keep your head down.

"The Great Khan does not need to be polite, and it is the duty of the Great Khan to give advice. What the Great Khan needed to do now was to send an envoy to ask what was going on with the Ming Dynasty? As for the Tushetu Khan's department, this seat is an old acquaintance with the Khalkani, the left-wing general of the Tushetu Khan's department, and I will write a letter to inquire about it, and in the meantime I hope that the Great Khan will not act rashly. ”

There's no better way, so let's do it first.

The Living Buddha sent a message to Khalkani, and Bu Lost Rabbit sent his confidant Buri Gude to Datong to inquire about the increase in troops in the border town of the Ming court.

After arriving in Datong, Bu Rigude rampage actually dared to ride a horse in Datong City, and he hurried all the way to the General Military Mansion, and there was a catcher behind him shouting "Stop, stop!" "It's a pity that a two-legged man can outrun a four-legged horse?

"Stop! Who dares to trespass into the General Military Mansion? Come on! Take it for me! "The guards of the General Military Mansion are not comparable to those who patrol the streets. As soon as the head of the soldier shouted, the surrounding soldiers surrounded the Burigud and several people.

"Go and tell me that I want to see your commander-in-chief." His words were very arrogant, and although he could speak Chinese, it was difficult to hide his tartar temperament. When the soldier heard this, he knew that it was a Tatar, and he said, "You are a Tatar who dares to ride a horse in front of the gate of the General Soldier's Palace, and I really have no one in the Ming Dynasty?" Come on! Fence me off. ”

Bu Rigude didn't expect the Han people to be so tough? I was a little scared in my heart, and I knew that I should have brought more men and horses, but fortunately, these Ming troops just surrounded them and did not make any other moves.

The head of the army also understood the arrogance and unreasonableness of the Tatars, and if it weren't for the fear of a private war, he really wanted to go up and cut down this bastard, and his duty was to send someone to report to the chief soldier.

"Lord Qiyu General Soldier, there are a few Tatars outside making trouble in front of the yamen, the general should go and take a look!"

"Oh?" Bai Shenxiu, who was reading a military book, put down the book and went with his soldiers to see what was going on.

"The chief soldier has arrived..."The attaché sang, Bai Shenxiu was the Shanxi general soldier who had just arrived this year, and before his ass was hot, Tatars came to make trouble, which made him very angry, and when he arrived, he saw that it was indeed a few Tatar-looking people riding tall horses, surrounded by officers and soldiers in the center.

Bai Shenxiu waved his hand, and the surrounding Ming troops scattered. Thinking that this person was the same as other generals of the Ming army, Bu Rigude snorted coldly and pouted, "Hmph! Count you kid acquaintance! ”

Yo he! When he said this, Bai Shenxiu was immediately surprised, what are you pretending to be a Tatar? "Who is so bold as to dare to trespass into my commander-in-chief's mansion?"

"Listen up! I am the Tumut tribe Chechen Khan, the king of Shunyi of the Ming Dynasty, and the general Buzhigude. Today, His Royal Highness King Shunyi comes to hold him accountable! (Since Altan Khan, Chechen Khan and Shunyi have become the title of Great Khan of the Tumut tribe.) ）

Burigude was so angry that he didn't even pick an eyelid.

After hearing this, Bai Shenxiu realized that this product was actually still the prince's subordinate? As a border town commander, you must know a lot about the surrounding forces.

"Since he is a subordinate of King Shunyi, he must know how to be polite. It doesn't matter if you are embarrassed, but don't lose your master's face. ”

Bai Shenxiu sneered, and Bu Rigude was so angry that he shouted, "You! ...”

"What? Aren't you looking for me to hold me accountable? Don't get off the horse yet? "Rejoice! The surrounding soldiers admired the general for throwing themselves to the ground, and the border army was most unaccustomed to those Tatars, and today the general humiliated this Burigud several times so that he didn't have a temper, which is really happy!

Burigud was afraid of annoying the general, and thus failed the task given to him by the Great Khan. As soon as a person has any concerns, he will be restrained everywhere, and he will not be able to please this accountability.

As soon as he entered the hall, before Bai Shenxiu sat down, Bu Rigude pointed to Bai Shenxiu's nose and said, "Let me ask you, what do you mean by the sudden increase of troops in the border town of the Ming Court?" ”

Bai Shenxiu knocked off his fingers, turned to the sky and said in return, "Hmph! My Ming Dynasty increased troops to the border town, that was my emperor's Shengming decision, do you still have to report to your Tumut Department? ”

"You! Burigud was dumbfounded for a while, and then laughed again, "Hmph! It is of course your own business to increase the troops in the border towns of the Ming Dynasty, and our Tumut Department has no right to intervene. But... It seems that it is also our freedom to let go south and release horses, right? When the time comes, I hope that the chief soldier will take care of your soldiers, and don't come out and run blindly when there are many horses' hooves outside, otherwise you will be trampled to death. ”

"You're threatening me?"

"If you think so, then you can say the same!"

Blatant! This is a naked threat. If it were placed on weekdays, Bai Shenxiu might be a little jealous, but now there are more than 187,000 soldiers along his Datong Town alone, which is not an empty salary, but a real force. Coupled with some insider information in the imperial court, he is really not afraid of other people's threats.

Bai Shenxiu said coldly: "Don't say that I look down on you, this official just came here to train the soldiers to establish their prestige. At the same time, you should also go back and tell your Tumut soldiers, that you must be careful not to stumble on your horse. ”

Seeing that the threat did not work, it aroused Bai Shenxiu's resistance, which was really a-for-tat, which made Burigude a little crazy. "Good! Good! All right. You wait, I'll let the Great Khan send troops, and then see how you end. ”

With that, he walked towards the door. "Stop!" Bai Shenxiu stopped him, and Burigude smiled, "Haha! You Han people are like that, what? Scared? If you are afraid, you can quickly kneel and kowtow to grandpa, and then compensate grandpa for 100,000 taels. Otherwise, I will wait for Grandpa's army to kill you and leave no armor behind. ”

Bai Shenxiu was not angry, and said calmly, "Hmph! Your king of Shunyi was kicked in the head by a donkey, how could he send such a waste of yours here? I want to leave without leaving anything behind? ”

"You... How dare you scold us Great Khan? I really don't know how to write dead words, you wait... Wait for regret! After saying that, he looked panicked and ran out the door.

"Come on! Cut out his ears for me! ”

The surrounding soldiers rushed up, ignoring the howls of Břigudčesdi, holding down his hand and raising his knife, only to hear two screams like killing pigs, and one of Břígud's ears fell off from his body. Some soldiers put it in a wooden niche and asked Bai Shenxiu to watch it. He waved his hand and said, "What are you doing with this filthy thing?" It's good to wrap it up so he can take it back! ”

After everything was over, Burigud was thrown out directly by the soldiers of the General Military Palace, and several of his subordinates saw that the adults who had entered well before were now covered in blood, and they looked embarrassed and drew their knives to avenge their masters. But it's just pretending, in this general military mansion, there are enemies everywhere, and just a few of them still want revenge? The hero doesn't want to eat the immediate loss, so let's leave quickly, just like a big-tailed wolf with his tail between his legs and escaped.

After Burigud left, the pro-soldier asked weakly, "General!" Will we get into trouble like this? What if the Natumite tribe really comes to attack us, and the court blames us? ”

"Humph! The court blames? Why blame Lao Tzu? Lao Tzu is for us to have a long face, and if you don't reward Lao Tzu, you're already very sorry for us, and you still blame us? Besides, the Tumut Ministry itself is difficult to protect, how can there be time to provoke our Daming? ”

"What does the general mean...?"

"Look! They don't dare! Why can Lao Tzu be so tough? I'm telling you so...... In this way...... "After listening to the general's words, they were relieved a lot, saying that they were worried about the general, but in fact they didn't want to fight."

Then Bai Shenxiu said, "Hey! Inform the surrounding Weibao Township to be strictly vigilant, and the soldiers will not leave their swords and will not take off their armor at night, so that they will cheer me up. ”

But he said that after the Bu Rigude went back, he saw Bu Lost Rabbit and cried loudly: "Khan! You're going to call the shots for the villain! ”

Bu Lost Rabbit looked at the appearance of a person, "Huh! "It's disgusting, I want to kick him away." Who are you? ”

"Great Khan! The villain is Burigud! Sweat! Believe it or not! Knowing that his face was no longer recognizable, Burigud removed the gauze from his head. Although his face was still dirty, he could still vaguely recognize the former appearance of Burigud.

"Burigud! Say what's going on? How did you become like this? ”

"Great Khan! The villain was ordered to go to Datong Town to hold accountable, but who knew that Bai Shenxiu, the general soldier of Datong, cut off a pair of ears of the villain without asking. Also said... Also said Great Khan you... Say Great Khan you..."

"What do you say about me?"

"Say, Great Khan, you let the donkey kick your head."

"How dare he! How dare he? How dare that? Bu Lost Rabbit was so angry that he went straight around in the big tent, "I want to send troops, send troops to attack Datong." When you enter the city, you won't leave any armor, and you won't leave any armor! ...”

"Great Khan! Slow down! "When the Living Buddha heard that Bu Rigude came back, he immediately met Bu Lost Rabbit, which happened to bump into it, otherwise Bu Lost Rabbit would have caused a big disaster.

"The guru advised me? It's all like this, and the master still wants to persuade me? Where is the majesty of my Great Khan? I must teach the Ming court a lesson, let them know that I lost the rabbit and the great Khan of the Mongols. ”

Since beating his heir, the Ming court only sent a letter to confirm his legal status in the struggle with the three ladies, and then he has never been courteous, which has already hit the young heart of Bu Lost Rabbit, and now a small Datong general soldier actually dares to cut off the ears of his messenger, which is really unreasonable! Everything completely broke out at this time, he used to obey the words of the Living Buddha of Zundan, but now he doesn't plan to listen to it.

Zundan Living Buddha saw that Bu Lost Rabbit was already red-eyed, and he must dissuade him. "Great Khan! Please listen to the old monk's words and make plans again! Come and see...", he took out a letter to Bu Lost Rabbit, and Bu Lost Rabbit opened it, but it was Khalkani's own handwriting.

It turned out that Khalkani was very surprised to receive Zundan's letter, and although the two were old acquaintances, they had not exchanged letters for several years. What should we do with this sudden arrival of letters? When I opened it, I saw that Karkani smiled, maybe this was an opportunity.

In his letter, Zundan asked what was the intention of the Khalkhani Tushetu Khan to gather a large army on the border. At the same time, the vague news that the Ming court also suddenly increased its troops was pointed out.

Karkani pondered. It turns out that this Burhan is not the only one of his Tushetu Khan who asks for help! I admired him more and more, this man was unrivaled in his meticulous mind and rigor in his work, and he must have been a scourge in the future, especially when he found that the recent rapid changes in Gunbu had something to do with the fact that the Burhan messengers had taken a toll from it. Khalkani thought he should make some trouble for Burhan and Gunbu.

So he wanted to attack the two tribes of the Mongol tribe of the Mongol Rabbit and the Huoluo Red Division, and the reason why the Tushetu Khan Department gathered a large army was precisely because of this, and the purpose of containing the army of the Tumut Department at the invitation of Burhan.

After reading the letter, Bu Lost Rabbit was a little puzzled and said, "Master! Ben Khan didn't understand one thing. What is the deep hatred between this Hechi Ti Department and the Set Department, and Burhan is going to attack Huoluochi and Zhuli Rabbit? ”

Although both of them used to be subordinates of the Tumut Ministry, they were not very obedient and did not want to care about their life or death.

Seeing the intention of Bu Lost Rabbit, Zun Dan tried his best to persuade and said, "Great Khan! In the previous Alert era, there was a contradiction between the two divisions. Originally, the Hechiti Department originated in the Heishui River in Ejina, and was the subordinate of most of the Oirat Turhut, but later after Alert succeeded to the throne, he drove the Huoluochi and Zhuli Rabbit out of the West and dominated the entire Tengger grassland. The two sides have been fighting for each other, but in the end it was the set that lost. Alert reconciled with the Ming court, and the border markets of the two sides traded with each other, making the Hechiti Department extremely prosperous. The wealth of the Hechiti tribe also spread at that time. ”

Bu Lost Rabbit couldn't help but nod while listening, indeed! The wealth of the Hechiti tribe was recognized by the whole of southern Mongolia, and even the most noble Korqin tribe of southern Mongolia was overshadowed by it.

Zun Dan continued: "After Alett was killed by the traitor Todo, his son Burhan succeeded to the throne, and this Burhan was also a rare British lord, who first annexed the former lord of the Turghut tribe in less than two years after ascending to the throne, and then increased trade with the Ming court, making the Hechiti tribe richer than in the time of Alert. Didn't the Great Khan find that our business trips in Kuku and Tun had become less and less in recent years? It's all because of the existence of the purple mud of the Hechi Ti Department! ”

Truly! Over the years, the Hechiti tribe has robbed a lot of the wealth of the Tumut tribe, but this can be the reason for the Ming court and the Tushetu Khan to increase their troops?

"Guru! The Hechiti Department attacked the Sleeve Department, and what did you do to my Tumut Department? ”

It seems that Bu Lost Rabbit still has to watch from the wall! This Great Khan didn't know anything about the cold lips and teeth.

"Great Khan! Although the set department has been separated from the main department for some time, but after all, it is a subordinate of my Tumut department, if it is not rescued, what will the other tribes think? Now that the Tumut tribe was on the verge of fragmentation, it was a good time for the Great Khan to show his strength and rally his tribe. Besides, the Sleeve Department is our western gateway, and its place is a horse and a flat river, if we don't rescue, the army of the Hechiti Department will be in the blink of an eye, and it will be a big threat to our Tumut Department! ”

The more he listened, the more frightened he became, if so, it would be really annoying. The wealth of the Hechiti tribe made them not lack food, war horses, weapons and even armor, and even the Turgots were wiped out in the battle against the Hechiti tribe, and the current situation of the Tumut tribe would not be much stronger than that of the Turkut tribe. Just as Bu Lost Rabbit decided to send a large army to reinforce the set of troops, Bu Lost Rabbit suddenly changed his attention again.

"That's not right! Guru! If the people of the Tushetu tribe lie, the army of our Tumut tribe will gather in the Taobu, and at this time, the Tushetu tribe can take the opportunity to capture the Ula Mountain Pasture. You must know that it has not been a day or two that the Tushetu tribe has coveted the pasture of Ullah. Besides, even if the Hechi Ti Department is now powerful, why should it fight the Trap Department? ”

Bu Lost's conjecture is not unreasonable, but it is a pity that he does not know that the set of troops and Burhan have a grudge against his father, and these Khalkani did not say it. If Bu Lost Rabbit knew this, then it would be logical for the Hechiti Department to attack the set of troops, and the strategy of the Khalkani would be successful, and then the Hechiti Department would definitely lose its troops, and the final benefit of the strength was still the Tushetu Khan Department, but the immortal heaven blessed it, but the clever strategy of the smart people was self-defeating.

Hearing Bu Lost Rabbit's words, Zun Dan was also puzzled. In the past few years, he has not interacted with Khalkani because this person is ruthless and insidious, and the Tushetu Department is also famous, although he has the heart to rescue the Ministry, but the Tumut Department is the most important.

"Great Khan! In this way, it doesn't matter to the Ming Court, maybe it is really the normal defense of the Ming Court. And the most important thing for us now is to garrison the army in the Elechuan and Wula Mountain Pastures, so that no matter who attacks us on both sides, we will have time to deal with it, and secondly, having a large army stationed in it can also play a role in deterring the surrounding tribes. ”

Zundan's proposal was a compromise, and although it dispersed the military forces, it was extremely defensive. Bu Lost Rabbit nodded, now it can only be like this.
