Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
At the foot of Lao Yao Mountain, more than 100 cavalry went straight to Naturalization City along the avenue.
Immediately, the knights were strong and mighty, and these people were all Zuo Ruo's personal barracks carefully selected from the Han village Zhai Zhe, led by Ji Hong.
The big black horse ran at the forefront of the team, Zhai Zhe was neatly dressed, his always scattered head was also raised, and the whole person looked very energetic.
Forty miles away from the city of naturalization, Geriletu, who had already been announced, led the cavalry of the Khan Tent to meet them and led the group to the grassland on the northeast side of the city. After the city of Naturalization was destroyed by fire, the Ombu Khan was temporarily stationed there.
After two years of getting along, Zhai Zhe helped the Tumut people a lot, and his relationship with Geriletu was also good.
As he walked, Geriltu whispered: "The Great Khan will see you a few days earlier!" I heard that I want to reward you! ”
Zhai Zhe smiled and said, "The friendship of the Tumut people is the best reward!" "He was instrumental in the survival of the Tumuts, and he looked forward to the reward of King Ombu Khan, at least to ensure the interests of his caravan in the steppe.
The sweat tent was set up in the cavalry camp, and the Hanzhai cavalry was not allowed to enter, so they could only be stationed outside, and Zhai Zhe followed Ge Ri Letu into the camp alone to meet him.
After walking three hundred paces into the cavalry camp, he was confronted with a tall yurt, and a group of people stood at the door surrounded by Omub Khan. The Great Khan personally went out to greet him, which was an unprecedented honor for a Han Chinese.
Walking more than a dozen steps away, Zhai Zhe knelt down and bowed to the ground and said, "Meet the Great Khan!" ”
"Hurry up, please!" Omubu Khan took a slight half step forward, his hands clasped in his hands, "Come to me." ”
Zhai Zhe got up and walked five steps away from Omubu Khan, raised his head, and caught a glimpse of the half-blooming smiling face of Princess Ulan behind the Great Khan.
Omubu Khan looked at Zhai Zhe carefully, nodded and said, "Han people, it's very good, I didn't mistake you at the beginning!" ”
"The Great Khan is wise!"
The guards separated the big tent and entered the curtain, with Omubu Khan taking the lead, Zhai Zhe one step behind, followed by Princess Ulan, Tuokebo, Guluge and others. And they went into the yurts of sweat tents, and sat down in their respective seats. Zhai Zhe received special preferential treatment from the Great Khan and sat first on his left hand.
The servants served the food like butterflies in flowers, and the silver tableware was placed on the table, and the Great Khan gave the banquet with its own bearing.
Ombu Khan raised his glass, stood up, and said: "The mare's milk wine of the steppe is a gift from the heavens of immortality, and the first cup of wine celebrates the rebirth of my Tumut tribe, and may the Monan grassland be smooth every year!" ”
Everyone present raised their glasses and drank them all, even Princess Ulan.
The lamb is roasted on the outside and tender on the inside, and the servants cut it and divide it on a plate in front of everyone's eyes, which is a specialty of the grassland. Zhai Zhe put a piece in his mouth and chewed it carefully, it was fragrant but not greasy, much more delicious than the cooks in the Han Village, but his mind was not on eating.
"Mare's milk wine greets distinguished guests, and the second cup of wine is sent to Tiancong Khan by the sea, thanking Dajin for punishing the enemies of the Tumuts!"
Zhai Zhe tilted the bowl up, the sour taste of mare's milk wine made his mouth twitch slightly, and after nearly two years in the grassland, he still couldn't adapt to this taste.
In great spirits, Omubu Khan raised his glass for the third time and said, "Mare's milk wine to our eternal friends, thank you to the Han people for helping us through the most difficult times for the Tumuts!" ”
The wine glass was held high in the air, and Omubu Khan did not drink it immediately, and shouted loudly: "Zhai Zhe! ”
Zhai Zhe lowered his head and raised the wine bowl above his head, and promised in his mouth: "My subordinates are here!" ”
"I will seal you the Thousand Households of the Han Department of the Tumut Department and allow you to have your own tribe in the grassland!"
"Thank you, Great Khan!" The bowl held by Zhai Zhe above his head did not move at all.
The other people in the tent had different reactions, and most of them showed surprised expressions, except for Geriletu and Ulan.

d2After Zhao Quan during the time of Tan Khan, no Han Chinese were divided among the Mongol tribes. The Han people knew how to operate, and the Han tribes were often richer than the Mongols after the partition, and the tribes could not bear it, but now Omubu Khan urgently needed the strength of the Han people, and the dilapidated Guihua City no longer reminded him to revive the majesty of the Tumut tribe.
"Drink it!"
The rules of the Mongols are not as many as those of the Han Chinese, and after three glasses of wine in Omubu Khan, the people in the big tent have their own thoughts and drink to their heart's content.
Young girls wore tents and danced merrily to cheer up, and some sang steppe songs.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhai Zhe waited for the dancer to retreat, then stood up and gave up.
Seeing that Zhai Zhe had something to say, Omubu Khan waved his hand to signal the audience to be quiet, and asked, "Zhai Qianhu, what is the matter with you?" ”
"Great Khan, the tribe suffered a severe loss of livestock due to the drought last year, and I specially prepared a caravan to prepare to go to Mobei, hoping to exchange for enough livestock to return and help the tribe tide over the current difficulties!"
"Really?"
Ombu Khan surprises.
"How dare you deceive the Great Khan, you just need the Great Khan's help!"
"It's all for Tumut, just open your mouth!"
"The caravan has a long way to Mobei, and it takes too long for many goods to be sold one tribe after another, can you ask the Great Khan to come forward and contact the three tribes of Mobei to complete the transaction."
"Of course, that's what my Tumut tribe needs! When did the caravan get out of the jam? "Omubu Khan can't wait. There were too many Tumuts killed in the war, and the tribe was in dire need of rejuvenation, and he was worried about the shortage of livestock, which was a matter of the rise and fall of the Tumut tribe, and it was his duty to help.
"Tomorrow morning, I will kill Hukou, and the day after tomorrow I will be naturalized!"
This Han man was still surprising him, and the more Omubu Khan felt that he had made the right decision to choose Zhai Zhe to join the Tumut Ministry. The Han people are not Tumuts, and it is impossible for them to have a sense of belonging to the grassland, and of course they have to pay for the benefits. He turned to order: "Tuokebo, you are familiar with the three tribes of Mobei, and tomorrow you will escort the Han caravan to Mobei, and I will write three letters to Tushetu Khan, Zasaktu Khan and Chechen Khan respectively." ”
Tokbo stood up and faced nothing

The feast ended in a superficially cheerful atmosphere, and the reaction to the division of the Han tribes by Omubu Khan was mixed, at least in the short term.
In the early morning of the next day, the gate of Hukou was opened, and the voices of people were boiling, and mules and horses were in groups.
The caravan led by Ping Kui and De Xiangkui officially stepped out of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, which was the first caravan to step into the grassland in the past two years.
The guys came out of the canyon, looked around, and breathed in the cool air outside the plug, still the familiar smell that most of the people here had made a living in Naturalization City.
Ning Sheng specially picked a white horse and walked at the forefront of the caravan. This mountainous area, where he almost froze to death two years ago.
This mountain road was once a place of bandits, there was no guard, the men were nervous, and the caravan walked slowly.
"Hurry up!" Ning Sheng urged loudly. But no matter how much he urged, the caravan just couldn't get up fast
In the middle of the morning, the sound of horses' hooves sounded at the corner of the mountain road, and more than two hundred horsemen rushed towards him, one of whom looked fierce and had an axe pinned to his waist.
"Horse thief!" I don't know who shouted, but the guys all stopped, cowering and leaning on the pack horses.
Meng Kang urged him to step forward and shouted: "Shopkeeper Ning, why is it so slow, let me urge the owner, and the caravan rushed outside the Naturalization City." ”
"Hey!" Ning Sheng agreed, turned around and scolded: "Whatever you're afraid of, go faster!" ”
The horse thieves lined up on both sides of the road, escorting the caravan past, and seeing that these horse thieves were their own family, the men were relieved and drove the pack horses to the north.
Even at the height of the city's prosperity, such a large caravan was rare.
The Tumuts grazing along the way followed the caravan and waited outside the city of Naturalization, where hundreds of people were already watching. Xiao Zhiyan and Meng Kang led the cavalry of their headquarters to separate the caravan from the herdsmen to avoid disputes.
The caravan had its own rules for walking the grassland, and the men found a piece of high ground to unload the goods, and let the pack horses feed and water, regardless of the noise outside.
When Tuokebo heard the news, he led 500 Tumut cavalry to replace the Han army, and he would escort the caravan north in the coming day.
