In August, the grassland sky is high and crisp, herds of cattle and sheep are quietly grazing on the grassland, and the herdsmen are riding horses and waving whips, which are like an oil painting under the blue sky and green grass.

The Outer Mongolian army had been developing on the grassland for more than a month, and after separating from Zhao Yun, Timur did not immediately go north, but sent wind cavalry to go around and did not find any targets to start with, before leading the team to Darkhan.

Every once in a while, planes from the Outer Mongolia camp would come to drop some food or scout the surroundings for the team, but because there were mostly horse-drawn carriages in the team, the speed of the march was not fast.

However, as luck would have it, on the way, a small tribe of just over 400 cavalry was surrounded by Timur's Outer Mongolian legions.

A small tribe with more than 400 cavalry, more than 3,000 old and young. This is also the grassland where almost all the people are soldiers will have such a high proportion, and if it reaches 1:15 in the south of the Yangtze River, it will be considered a poor army.

The small tribe counted them lucky, and Timur did not rob them, but only carried them naked to the steppes north of Darkhan.

With this small tribe with them, the team marched even more slowly, and it took seven or eight days to find a fertile place in the north of Darkhan.

It is close to the Outer Mongolian camp, and the sea salt, tea and other items transported from the south of the Yangtze River can also supplement the shortage of the Outer Mongolian army in time.

Rice and other food have also begun to be put into operation, or local mills have been set up to exchange huàn directly, eliminating the pressure of transporting food by air.

It was a time of chaos in Outer Mongolia, although on July 11, 1921, a pro-Soviet "constitutional monarchy" was established in Outer Mongolia. But the top leaders of Outer Mongolia know that this is completely different from the establishment of the "Great Mongolia" government in 1911 (the third year of the Qing Dynasty's Xuantong). Although there are Russians behind them, the Russians have also changed. If it was before, the princes of Outer Mongolia still had a supportive attitude, after all, Russia is also a monarchy, and the status of the princes can still be maintained, but now that Russia has revolutionized, everyone knows that they can't tolerate such a system as the princes.

There are also many different voices in Outer Mongolia, and the Mongolian People's Party army is fighting for territory with the old Mongolian princes. The interior of the prince of Outer Mongolia also appeared to return to the embrace of China, but unfortunately now the shape is different.

With the support of Red Russia, the Mongol People's Party forces had seized real power everywhere, and the strength of the old Mongol princes was gradually weakened, and it became unrealistic to expect to enjoy the same privileges as before.

The four major tribes of Outer Mongolia also faintly formed an alliance and prepared to resist the intervention of the Soviet Russian troops entering Mongolia.

But the situation took a subtle turn in July, when teams from both sides mysteriously disappeared! However, it seems that the losses of Soviet Russia are relatively large, and the entire team of 3,000 people has disappeared without a trace.

All of a sudden, whether it was the People's Party army or the old princes, everyone tacitly avoided direct conflict, and at the same time, they were actively adopting various means to annex various small forces in order to strengthen themselves and accumulate strength for the changes that would take place in the future. However, Huaxia, as the motherland, has only made a verbal uproar of public opinion, and various non-governmental organizations and democratic parties in China, including the prince of Inner Mongolia, have issued declarations and condemnations one after another, but in fact they have not seen half of the actions at hand.

Timur's Outer Mongolian legions seized on this rare period of calm and exchanged a large number of horses, cattle and sheep for scarce supplies such as salt and tea in just one month, attracting the prying eyes of the Chechen Khan, the largest force in the surrounding area.

The Tang Dynasty poet Liu Yuxi said: "The flowing water and sand do not stop, and the front wave is not extinguished, and the back wave is born." "Life can only be successful if you keep forging ahead, and that's exactly what the Great Khan of Chechnya did. The Great Khan also paid attention to the emergence of a new force around him, but a large number of scarce resources did not come from nowhere. So he can't rush to start, so he can only buy and trade materials through guò.

This force has six or seven thousand cavalry, but only less than three thousand troops, which is very unreasonable, and can only indicate that there should be a powerful tribe or outside force behind them. However, there were no major tribes around him that had been affected or attacked, and for this force, which seemed to be a friend for the time being, the Khan could only remain vigilant and wait and see.

Some time ago, many tribes migrated from the west of Darkhan, and the Chechen Khan Urge, which originally had only six or seven thousand men and horses on the side of the Khulun River, has now grown to more than 10,000 people. The arrival of these small tribes also greatly expanded the size of the Chechen Khan Urg, but because of the short period of time, the Khan among them had not yet fully established his absolute authority. Although there were still many small tribes in the vicinity who were either admiring or under pressure to join in, the power of the Chechen Khan was growing rapidly, but now the khan felt that the most important thing was to integrate them.

And things will not always develop according to the wishes of some people, and the triggers for a big political storm or war turmoil are often some trivial disputes, so that those little people who are not enough to go down in history regardless of ability and strength suddenly appear in people's field of vision, and their every move will eventually determine the occurrence of those major events, such as the occurrence of World War I. And on the grassland, there are also some little people who are about to lead a big event to happen.

The sale of salt by Timur's Outer Mongolian army has already spread in the steppe.

A former People's Party soldier named Adanghan, who had been captured by the Outer Mongolian Army, quickly gained Timur's trust because he was better, and sent him to meet with the people sent by the Saiyin Noyan tribe and exchange salt for a batch of war horses. People like him who were promoted abound in captives.

The place of exchange between the two sides is on the grassland, which is also to prevent people from looting, so it is stipulated that the location will be negotiated before each exchange.

This is the twentieth time this month, leading a team of twenty people, driving more than sixty war horses, walking slowly on the grassland. There is still half an hour to go, and we are almost at the station of the Outer Mongolian Legion. Adamhan seemed very relaxed, such days were only available when she was grazing, and now that Outer Mongolia was fighting everywhere, it was not easy to have such a day!

"Gray!" There was a neighing of horses from the hill behind him.

Adamhan immediately became nervous, and a troop of cavalry appeared, masked, and began to kill here.

"Prepare for war! Prepare for battle! Shaobu, go to the camp to report the news! Adamhan said, pointing to a half-grown child beside him.

"Bala, Burigud, and Agoura, you take the horses first, and I'll take someone to block it!" After Adamhan finished speaking, he had already taken the lead to meet the other party.

When Shaobu came with a team of people, there were only the corpses of Adamhan and others on the ground.

"Bang!" When Timur heard the news, he threw away all the mare's milk cups.

"Calling the plane! Let's go find this group of robbers! "Because of Zhao Yun's delegated authority, Timur can also mobilize the planes of the Outer Mongolian camp, which will be used in an emergency.

"Huhuhu" 10 Fokker fighters with a howling wind came out of the cover net of the camp and flew straight into the blue sky.

Since it had not been half an hour since the incident, the team was quickly spotted in the direction of the north.

"Chase! Chase the horses back and kill them all! "When Timur heard the news, he gave the order as soon as he could." If you kill someone, you will be prestigious, and "don't bring it back", which means that you are not pursuing the matter. Now is not the time to cause trouble.

It's a pity that others can't pay attention to his thoughts.

By the time they had caught up with the group, they had reached the Krulun River, and the men sent had carried out their orders well, killed them all, and brought back their horses.

But I didn't expect this group of people behind the scenes to think so!

"Great Khan! They're challenging your authority! They killed our men and stole our horses! "In the Chechen Khan Urgry, several Mongolian nobles got down on one knee and complained to the Chechen Khan, but did not say anything about their greed!

More nobles also came to the Khan when they heard the news, they were worried about the current scarcity of supplies, but they were extremely tempted by Timur's wealth.

"Khan, let's fight. I am willing to mobilize 3,000 of the most elite men to act as strikers! ”

"Yes, the brown bear has to use a bow and arrow when it comes, Timur is a brown bear, so many cavalry will definitely be a great disaster for the Great Khan in the future!"

Not only were the nobles of the Young Zhuang faction in an uproar, but even some of the old people in the clan rushed to persuade them.

Anyway, Timur they are all foreigners, and the resources in their hands should be handed over to the Great Khan and then distributed to us!

"Great Khan, we have 10,000 warriors, if you step on them, those supplies will be ours! We can use these supplies to attract more people, the Great Khan decides! ”

The Khan's mind was thinking about a question that was longer than the war, and just now a nobleman's words reminded the Khan, that is, the supplies after the victory!

Fueled by many Mongol nobles, the Chechen Khan issued a request to Timur to appease the anger of the Chechen Khan's nobles with supplies.

Of course, Timur will not agree, not to mention that these materials are necessary for the survival of the Outer Mongolian Army, not to mention, and these materials are not Timur's, they belong to Zhao Yun, and there is no reason to give them up.

"Report, Chechen Khan gathered all the troops and horses, estimated 10,000 people, everyone has war horses, known as 30,000 troops, is crossing the Krulun River, their forward 3,000 men and horses have crossed the river and are killing us!" Early in the morning, the spies of the Outer Mongolian Regiment reported important news.

Now in the camp of the Outer Mongolian Legion, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Timur sits first on the left, and Zhao Yun sits at the top of the head.

After receiving the letter from the Chechen Khan, Timur knew that the situation was serious and immediately informed Zhao Yun.

Hearing that there was an emergency in Outer Mongolia, Zhao Yun, who wanted to settle the old man Deng, rushed over overnight, and now Outer Mongolia is already the largest camp, and there is no room for loss here.

"They proclaimed revenge all the way, and they were menacing." Many Mongolian herdsmen in the surrounding area have bought daily necessities here in Timur, and many Mongolians still reciprocate kindness to this friendly tribe.

"Thank you, my friend, for the information!" Timur, of course, knew about these things, and the planes in the sky could see them clearly.

However, for these herdsmen who reciprocated kindness, Timur certainly did not snub them.

(Happy New Year, make a fortune in the New Year!) After sending it, I'm going to watch the Spring Festival Gala! ）
