When it was completely dark, the Tumert cavalry in the valley lit piles of bonfires and began to roast meat. It seems that Omubu Khan has not yet reached the end of the mountain.

Xiao Zhiyan tore a piece of roast lamb shank, put his head close to Zhai Zhe, and asked in a low voice, "How did you know that Tumut Khan would come to you." ”

Zhai Zhe wiped the oil from his mouth and said, "I heard that people who are drowning will not let go even if they grab a straw. ”

"So, you're sure the Tumuts will cooperate with you!"

Zhai Zhe shook his head, waiting to explain. A Tumut cavalryman walked up to the two of them and shouted: "Messenger of the Han people, the princess summons!" ”

Zhai Zhe hurriedly wiped the oil off his hands, stood up, and followed the soldier around the yurt pile, and came to a small yellow milk-colored yurt behind the side.

There were two female soldiers guarding the door, and when they saw Zhai Zhe arriving, they said, "Go in, the princess is waiting for you inside!" ”

Zhai Zhe walked into the tent and looked around. This is the residence of Princess Ulan, with a thick carpet of floral flowers on the floor, the ceiling and the walls covered with felt, a bronze mirror on the left wall, and a longbow, a scimitar, and a dagger studded with gems on the right. There was a faint smell of fragrance in the yurt, and a young woman sat on a chair facing the door, while two Mongolian women were cleaning.

When Ulan saw Zhai Zhe come in, he waved the two Mongolian women away, motioned for him to sit opposite him, and said, "I know how much wealth this trade route means to the Han people, and you also know the situation of the Tumuts, and I need you to convince me." ”

Zhai Zhe secretly looked at it

The girl in front of her, this woman is very young, but the position she sat in the sweat tent just now shows that her identity is very unusual.

Ulan guessed Zhai Zhe's doubts and explained, "I am Ulan, the younger sister of King Khan. ”

Zhai Zhe took out a simple map drawn on the road from his bosom and put it in front of Wulan's eyes, and pointed: "The mountains around Helinger and Liangcheng are forested and the land is barren, and it is impossible to graze. As long as the horse thieves with Ringel are cleaned up, the trade route to Kill Hukou can be guaranteed. I can help the Tumuts exchange horses and furs for the food and weapons you need. ”

Princess Ulan turned her head sideways and stretched her head in front of Zhai Zhe's eyes, the age of youth showed her hidden beauty, like a flower, when the buds were half-bloomed and the petals were stretched, there was a lovely posture and color, which made people fascinated.

Feeling that the princess's breath was close at hand, Zhai Zhe felt a little uncomfortable, tilted his head back, glanced at Princess Wulan, and saw the princess's two bright eyes shining towards him like stars in the night sky.

Princess Wulan asked very carefully, and it was not until around midnight that the dry-mouthed Zhai Zhe left the tent. If his vision was just an outline, after a long talk, it has become a complete plan.

The bonfire had been extinguished in the night, and the valley was silent, Zhai Zhe entered the tent under the guidance of the Tumut soldiers, and Xiao Zhiyan was lying inside.

"How?" Xiao Zhiyan showed an ambiguous smile, "Is the princess beautiful?" ”

Zhai Zhe shook his head and fell asleep.

The night in the mountains was silent, Zhai Zhe slept soundly, and after running for so many days, he was indeed very tired. At this time, life and death were no longer in his own hands, but he relaxed his mind and slept peacefully.

It was late at night, and Zhai Zhe, who was still deliberating on Princess Wulan's words, showed a hint of flushing on his face because of excitement under the firelight. She was going to dedicate this plan to the Great Khan because she saw hope. After being defeated by Chahar, the Tumut Mongols existed in name only, and after the battle of Zhaocheng, there were only more than 2,000 cavalry left in the Khan Tent, and if they could not rely on external forces, Tumut had no hope of revival.

The Chahars have not given up

Searching for Omub Khan, the situation of the sweat tent is becoming more and more difficult, and the insiders in the upper echelons are excited, each with a ghost. Now that the three tribal leaders under the Khan's tent, the Guluge of the Tenzin tribe began to persuade the Khan to defect to the Jurchens, and the Hanggao family seems to have this idea, only Tobok seems to be still loyal to the Khan.

Ulan did not like the Jurchens. This Mongolian girl, who has idolized the Three Ladies since she was a child, is full of admiration for the world inside the Great Wall, just like her legendary predecessors. When the Chahar cavalry moved west, she had fantasized that the Ming would be able to send troops to fight against Lin Dan Khan with the Tumut, but the Ming only sent a mediating envoy. The subsequent Jurchens invaded the Ming Dynasty, and the Huang Taiji soldiers pointed directly at the city of Beijing, robbed the property, and plundered the Han people, which made everyone see the weakness of the Ming Dynasty. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Gu Luge had the idea of defecting to the Jurchens.

Early in the morning, before Zhai Zhe woke up, a Tumut soldier outside the tent shouted: "Messenger of the Han people, summoned by the Great Khan!" ”

Zhai Zhe heard the sound in his sleep, got up, touched his face, and quickly walked out of the tent.

"The Great Khan summons!" The Tumut soldier said again, turned around and left, Zhai Zhe followed closely.

When he entered the sweat tent, Zhai Zhe saw that Princess Ulan and Omubu Khan were together, and the two had been discussing it for a long time.

Omb Khan sat there, his eyes easygoing.

Zhai Zhe saluted, and Omubu Khan said slowly: "Since Zhao Quan was sent to the Ming Dynasty for execution, we Tumuts have never reused the Han people!" ”

Hearing this, Zhai Zhe's heart was overjoyed, it seemed that Princess Ulan had persuaded the Great Khan, kneeling down and saying: "Now the King Khan can give me a chance, and he will also give the Tumuts a chance." ”

"How can you trust me? How can I trust you? ”

"You believe me because Altan Khan's reuse of Zhao Quan has proven the value of the Han people, and I believe you because I am not Zhao Quan."

Omubu Khan took out the scimitar on his waist and played with it in his hand for a moment, and said, "You have great courage! ”

Zhai Zhe bowed down and said: "The Khan King is tolerant, because of the three ladies, the Han people and the soil \u9e."

D8 Temongol has been friends for many years. ”

Ulan on the side heard Zhai Zhe mention the three ladies, his expression was excited, and he said: "The three ladies like the fashion of the Han people very much. ”

Ou Mubu sighed and said, "The three ladies are close to the Ming Dynasty, and the Mongolian and Han clans have indeed been friends for many years. But the decay of my Tumut has nothing to do with her. ”

In fact, Omubu, the king of Khan, was very aggrieved, and since his accession to the throne, Tumut has actually been torn apart.

This has to start with Altan Khan, when Altan Khan married the young three ladies to her is incomparable trust and love, the loyal lady of the three ladies actually mastered the military power of the Tumut Mongols, when Altan Khan died, the three ladies were only thirty-two years old, and the successor to the throne Huang Taiji was sixty years old. Under the intervention of the Ming Dynasty and the persecution of Huang Taiji, in order to take care of the overall situation of Mengming, the three ladies reluctantly married the new Great Khan Huang Taiji, and since then the struggle between the heirs of each new Tumut Khan and the three ladies has begun.

The powerful power of the Three Ladies made every Great Khan only be recognized by the entire Tumut Department after marrying the Three Ladies, and the struggle between her and the Khan King also deeply consumed the strength of the Tumut people.

Omubu didn't expect that when it was time for him, he would have to marry such a woman who was already thirty-two years older than himself to confirm his throne, and the third lady felt ashamed, which was also the shame of his Omubu, but under the persecution of the large and small tribes of Tumut, they all gave in. He needs this throne, and the three ladies need a united Tumut Mongol, it's a cruel joke. The three ladies who served as the four Great Khans of Tumut then died of exhaustion, and the unified Tumut Mongols no longer existed. Omubu has mixed feelings for the legendary Mongolian woman, who was also nominally his wife, although he has nothing but reverence for her.

Omub Khan had been persuaded by his own sister. Regardless of Zhai Zhe's origins, this is not a bad thing for the Tumuts, at least it can keep the surviving Tumuts from being scattered. He needed to accumulate the strength of the Tumut tribe, and when the Jurchens and the Chahars went to war in Monan, perhaps the Immortal Heaven would give him a chance.

For Zhai Zhe, his opinion is very simple, this Han man is very courageous. Isn't that what he needs? Is it still so important to reuse a Han Chinese or a Mongol for a Khan like him now, who can only hide in the mountains?

Omubu pointed at Zhai Zhe with his right hand and said: "Han, I don't know your name yet, if you can really help my Tumut Department rise again, I will give you all the grasslands outside the mouth of the killing Hukou." I will let Geriletu lead my best three hundred cavalry to help you with Lingel, and I hope you will not disappoint me. ”

Zhai Zhe bowed again and said, "My name is Zhai Zhe." Willing to serve the Khan. ”

Princess Ulan smiled and said, "I'm going to go with Ringle too!" ”

Omub Khan shook his head and said, "Sister, this is not play, you will meet Chahar cavalry there at any time. ”

"I must go, I am afraid that Geriletu will be deceived by this cunning Han man." After speaking, Ulan also smiled at Zhai Zhe.

When leaving the sweat tent, Zhai Zhe's steps were relaxed, and when he saw Xiao Zhiyan standing at the door of the tent in the distance, he nodded lightly. Xiao Zhiyan couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw it, turned around and entered the tent, startling the two Tumut soldiers beside him.

In the following days, Zhai Zhe carefully discussed the plan with Princess Ulan and Ge Ri Letu, and at the repeated insistence of Princess Ulan, Omubu Khan finally agreed to her participation.

Two nights later, as when they came, Xiao Zhiyan and Zhai Zhe left with a letter from Omubu Khan. In the snow, without the help of the Tumut cavalry, the two of them might not even be able to find the way out of the mountain.
