Wei Xiaobao had just taken refuge in Li Jing, and he got such a high-powered messenger as the commander of Tian Cewei, and he was sincerely afraid, and he had to tell him everything, "My lord, it's just this secret agent, how to keep the bottom and how to pass it on?" ”

Li Jing is in line with the principle of employing people without suspicion, he doesn't know much about this spy work, but there is only one, firmly control the thousands of households below, he can ensure that this line is not chaotic, "It's okay, this matter is up to you, I still can't trust you?" ”

When Wei Xiaobao heard this, he was immediately moved in his heart, and secretly thought that if Duke Wei could listen to his advice like this in the past, why would he ask Zhu Youzhen's yellow-mouthed child to commit suicide, so he bowed to the ground and shouted long live the lord.

"Get up, don't talk about this in the future." Li Jingke was frightened, although he enjoyed it very much in his heart, but once these words came out, the court became angry, and it was not something he could resist now.

Li Jing will not waste any of his talents, "Remember, wherever there is a mansion of important ministers of the Ming Dynasty, there must be our spies, even if you can't get in touch with the secret things for a while, but you must get in, for those who are greedy for money, don't be afraid to call for silver, just buy it and transmit the news." ”

"Whoa!" As soon as Wei Xiaobao talked about this, his eyebrows suddenly fluttered, and he was not excited, "Lord, please rest assured, with me, I must call the court to cover our eyeliner, I am in the palace, and there are still some shadows left. ”

"Let's do it with our hearts." Li Jing nodded, his eyes not knowing where to look......

Shanxi out of the head pass, straight into the Hetao, is 10,000 acres of grassland, endless, but recently this side has also suffered a disaster, there has been no rain in March, the grassland is yellow, a piece of desolation, in close to the heel of the Great Wall, there are constantly Mongolian tribes migrating here.

The situation in the north was even more serious, with smaller tribal grasslands being forcibly occupied, fertile grasslands being occupied by larger tribes, and the losers had to move south to survive, driving cattle and sheep, chasing the hope of survival, to the edge of the Han empire to beg for a living.

Huqitu, as the leader of the southward migration of the Balhu, was originally in charge of a small tribe in the east of the Hetao Plain, with more than 3,000 people, but in the war for the water field, he was forced to move eastward along the Qingshui River, closer and closer to the Great Wall, which means a lost tribe, losing its own pasture and fixed grazing land, and the future is worrying.

But fortunately, in the battle, most of his tribe was preserved, although he lost some cattle, sheep and horses, but as long as the people are okay, sooner or later they will be able to make a comeback.

"Eternal God blesses, the Han people in the south have sent salt and grain again, so you don't have to worry about it for the winter this year." A wise man of a tribe followed him closely to his left and right, looking at the migrating tribe with a smile on his face.

"Eh," Hu Qitu shook his head, he didn't know what the grievances of Meng and Han were, he just wanted to preserve the pasture where he had survived for generations, but unfortunately he lost in the battle, and inevitably abandoned his ancestral inheritance, even if there was no danger of destruction for a while, but he was not happy.

"The Han people in the south, their hearts are very bad, they exchanged these grains for the war horses we rely on for survival, and now the entire tribe has less than five hundred war horses left, once other tribes come to attack, do you want to call our warriors, riding cattle and sheep into battle?!"

The centurion of a tribe was extremely undivided and full of resentment.

Hu Qitu was not negotiable in this matter, "Do you have a better way?" Without this food, our tribe would not even survive this winter, the cattle and sheep have no grass, they are emaciated, and even if they are barely killed, there is not much meat, do you watch our people starve to death? ”

If it weren't for the line of the Han people and the countless grain and grass, I am afraid that his tribe would fall apart on the way to escape, and without food, they would not be able to feed strong cattle and sheep, and without cattle and sheep, they would not have the strength to win in the war with other tribes, and as long as they failed again, this small tribe would have perished.

This truth, Hu Qitu can still distinguish clearly, "As for the war horses, the grassland is full of wild horses, since you cherish it so much, I will give you a task, within 30 days, capture 300 good horses, continue to trade with the Han people in the south, we must store more grain, and we must not let our cattle and sheep starve to death in the cold winter!" ”

Due to the number of people who supported Huqitu and the majority of the tribe, the centurion did not dare to show any abnormality, so he could only take the order with hatred, "Yes! ”

The wise man looked at his distant back, hidden in the shadow of Huqitu, and said lightly, "Chief, this kind of man-devouring wolf will eat blood sooner or later." ”

"He won't have this chance!" Hu Qitu showed murderous intent and said disdainfully.

Looking at his confident face, the wise man shook his head, "We are now close to the Great Wall of the Han people, but not far to the north, there is a branch of Asote, they occupy the best grassland, but they still have to reach their tentacles here, if anyone reveals our situation, I believe that a large cavalry will soon come to destroy us." ”

When Hu Qitu heard this, his face suddenly changed, "How come?" We have been defeated all the way here, and we have completely lost the possibility of returning to the Hetao, and they still refuse to let us go? ”

The wise man shook his head, "The Han people have a saying that the grass must be cut to the roots, and I believe that these people will never let us go." ”

"Respected wise man, is there anything you can do to keep the totem of the Bal Tiger passed on?" Huqitu is a good hand at fighting, but with obvious advantages and disadvantages, he doesn't want to bring ruin to the tribe because of his recklessness.

"Go south, take refuge in the Han people who are in charge here, let them support us, with endless food, we can recruit those small tribes who are lonely, annex them, and one day, we will return to the Hetao." The wise man's face shone brightly, and he looked south.

"No," Hu Qitu never thought of defecting to the Han people, even if he was down, "the fate of the Han people is to let them drive them to slaughter their herdsmen, absolutely not." ”

"Chief, it's not like that." The wise man shook his head and explained to him, "The Han people in the south will only farm, not graze, even if they are strong, they will not cross the Great Wall, hundreds of years ago, the emperor of the Han people pursued to Mobei, defeated the Golden Family, and still retreated soon after, we are born steppe warriors, Han people, it is not good!" ”

"And at that time, it was a flourishing Han emperor, and we took refuge in only one of the Han generals, his strength is not enough to sweep the Mongolian tribes, as long as we get on his ship, sooner or later borrow his strength to strengthen us, and when we gather many small tribes, we Balhu can regain their own pasture!"

"Really?" Hu Qitu was extremely tempted, if this is the case, then it is not unacceptable to temporarily go south to join the Han people, anyway, his tribe has fallen into this way.

"Yes." The wise man nodded approvingly, "And now there are many small tribes moving south, we can only take refuge first in order to reasonably gather the other tribes, otherwise when others take the lead, we can only go north again and protect the rest of our own troops." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, order the warriors of Balhu to divert to the south, guard the cattle and sheep not to disperse, and let's go to the Han people." I have to say that the character of the Mongolian people has always been tendonous, and they will do what they recognize immediately, and they don't have as many calculations as the Han people.

The Balhu tribe turned south, thanks to the four or five hundred tribal warriors to escort it, although there were many other tribes along the way who wanted to fight the autumn wind, but looking at so many cavalry, after thinking twice, they did not rashly move, but called Huqitu to collect two small tribes along the way, and when they reached the edge of the Great Wall, there were already seven or eight hundred warriors, four or five thousand herdsmen, and more than 100,000 cattle and sheep, forming the scale of a medium-sized tribe.

"What?" After Guo Sheng returned from Xin County, he also took a team of 110 cavalry from the cavalry brigade, which were used to receive the purchase of war horses from the Mongolian tribes.

It's just that today, I got a message that there was a Mongolian tribe of about 5,000 people outside the Great Wall of Bitouguan, and I was immediately surprised, "Tell the pro-army team to go with me." ”

Don't dare to slack off at the moment, and when the authenticity is confirmed, he sent someone to send a message to Chun County, so that Li Jing knows, then he led the troops to the side of the head pass, faintly looking outside the Great Wall, there are countless tents encamped, and the Mongolian herdsmen who come and go to graze are clearly visible, Guo Sheng stood on the wall of Guantou, looked at it for a while, and then rushed to the 21st battalion guarding the pass Zheng Dongting and said, "This group of Mongolians, have you ever been honest?" ”

Zheng Dongting shook his head, "Previously, a Mongolian messenger came to discuss, saying that they wanted to join us, and it was a big trouble, and I didn't dare to be specialized. ”

When Guo Sheng heard this, he immediately nodded, "You are right, we are now in short supply of cavalry, the lord has said first, recruiting Mongolian Tatars as soldiers, and more or less speeding up the shortage of cavalry brigades, but you guard the pass, and you must not let the Mongolian Tatars take advantage of the situation." ”

"From our province, the soldiers of the 21st Battalion, I have sent two of them to station, and the rest are less than thirty miles east of the city, once there is something, it will be a moment, I have warned the Mongolian Tatars outside the city, not to approach the city, even if there is an occasional call for goods, it is necessary to leave the city for five miles." Zheng Dongting said 1510.

"Okay, you should be credited with this matter," Guo Sheng continued, "When I came, I had ordered the 31st Battalion of Yongsheng Fort to be stationed in the north, and from today onwards, you will give me a good life to guard here, and what happened to the cavalry brigade in the city?" (To be continued.) )
