The night breeze was blowing, the leather boots were silently stepping on the soft grass, and Zhai Zhe outside the naturalized city was at a loss.
Ulan's figure in the wedding dress of a Han girl seemed to be still swaying in front of his eyes.
Under the crown of the phoenix, his coquettish eyes seemed to be dripping, reminding him of the crazy night with Fan Yi in Datong a few days ago.
He regretted why he had accepted the princess's invitation to enter her mansion, and Ulan insisted on showing him the wedding dress he had given her, which might have made her the only one wearing a Han girl's wedding dress. In Mobei Mongolia, it is not suitable to wear this kind of clothing, and these things can only be pressed at the bottom of the box until they are forgotten and discarded.
Thinking about the wind and frost in Mobei, the rude barbarism of the Arukalkha people will accompany this girl for the rest of her life, and Zhai Zhe felt a kind of regret in his heart.
It's not about love, it's just a pity. Since he first came into contact with this girl, she has carried too many things on her body, and until now she has to pay for her life. But this is an unsolvable situation, even if he is the Great Khan, he will choose this way, it is not that the Great Khan does not love his sister, the princess of Tumut does not belong to herself, belongs to this tribe.
Bao Guang and the others followed closely behind, seeing Zhai Zhe walking aimlessly, he reminded carefully: "My lord, where are you going?" ”
Zhai Zhe woke up, stopped and said, "Go back to the barracks." ”
The night was long, and the Naturalization City was like a giant beast lying on its stomach in the grassland.
The Han cavalry was stationed in a clearing near the mountain forest on the western outskirts of Guihua City, and sixty or seventy white tents were hidden among the sparse trees.
At all times, the four fields are quiet, and occasionally a light breeze can be heard rustling through the jungle. Seven or eight cavalry galloped along the avenue, and the patrol soldier leading the wolf-killing dog soon appeared and shouted a warning.
"We are the messengers of the Han Ministry of Lao Yashan." The cavalry in the dark responded loudly.
The patrol soldier stepped forward to check his identity, and muttered curiously: "Come here so late." ”
"There's an urgent report, have you rested?"
"No, I'll report it."
If it weren't for the urgency, the message wouldn't have arrived overnight.
In the tent, Zhai Zhe carefully dismantled the secret letter and read it quietly.
Geng Guang did not say anything clear in his letter this time, only that the scouts of the Ming Dynasty had appeared in the Duoyan grassland with a small force of Jurchen cavalry, and the Jurchen army might come to Monan again in the near future.
Last year's Jurchen invasion of Datong sounded the alarm for the Shang League, and the Han Ministry had turned Lao Yashan into a material storage base, and was not afraid of the interruption of the trade route again.
In the darkness, Zhai Zhe fell into deep thought.
"The Jurchens withdrew from Xuanda and fought in Monan again, and this time their target must no longer be Daming."
Then only the Chahars could have been! The veins in Zhai Zhe's mind gradually became clear.
In March and April, the spring flowers are blooming, which is conducive to the grassland conquest, and the fat meat of the defeated Chahar tribe will sooner or later enter the mouth. The conquest of the Mongol suzerainty can officially declare the Jurchen supremacy over the steppe, Zhai Zhe's hand trembled slightly, he finally waited for this opportunity, and it was also the only chance for the Han Dynasty. The Mobei mission was still naturalized, and he vaguely felt that a bloody storm was coming.
Two days later, the scouts of Liangcheng reported that the Jurchen army had reached the Monan grassland.
Yue Tuo led two red flags and 5,000 cavalry all the way to naturalization, to everyone's surprise, Ombu Khan was caught off guard, Xuanda Town was like a great enemy, and Mo Nan was full of chickens and dogs.
The Han cavalry left the Tuoketuo grassland and quietly disappeared into the mountains of Helinger, only Xiao Zhiyan led 500 people to garrison Lao Ya Mountain, and Zhai Zhe led 500 personal soldiers to stay in Naturalization.
The mission of Alukharkha, who did not have time to evacuate, hid in the barracks of Omb Khan.
Five thousand Jurchen iron horsemen set up camp on a high ground south of the city of Naturalization, and regarded the Tumuts as if there were no \u7

779。 The soldiers went around cutting down rough wood to make fences, and it looked like they were going to stay there for a long time.
This posture made Ombu Khan have to come forward in person, forcing a smile to go to the gate of the Jurchen camp to meet him.
The two walked into the Naturalization City hand in hand, looking like old friends who had met for a long time.
Yue Tuo was as gentle as ever, and said softly: "After half a year, I came to disturb the Great Khan again!" ”
Omubu Khan was irritable, he said last year that the borrowed grain and grass had not been returned, and spring was coming, the Jurchens really ate the Tumuts, and they didn't dare to be presumptuous, and asked politely: "Every Qiē of the Tumuts is given by Dajin, I don't know where Lord Belle will conquer this time?" He was bewildered and desperate to know what was going on with the Jurchens.
Yue Tuo did not hide it, and said: "The Chahar people are my long-cherished enemies, and they also have a blood feud with the Tumut Department. ”
Omubu Khan breathed a sigh of relief. After the death of Lin Dan Khan, the Jurchens conquered the Chahar people in the morning and night, and he thought that the Jurchens would send troops last year, but he did not expect to attack the Ming Dynasty first.
"The conquest of Chahar is not easy to win, and I came to naturalize because I want to borrow a piece of land from the Great Khan."
"What do you mean by that?" Omb Khan bewildered.
Yue Tuo explained with a smile: "From Liaodong to Moxi, there are nearly two thousand miles, and the only worry of my army in conquering Chahar is the supply of grain and grass. Dajin wanted to establish a supply station on the side of the Naturalization City to store grain and grass for the convenience of the army, so that Moxi could be supplied in time. ”
If the Jurchens establish a supply depot in the city of Guihua, they will inevitably have to garrison troops, and the Tumut troops will be under the surveillance of the Jurchens. Omubu Khan was caught off guard and was speechless for a while.
"We won't enter the Naturalization City, we just need to find a place on the grassland."
Yue Tuo didn't care if Omubu Khan agreed, as if he was talking about his own business.
The army has been stationed, the camp has been broken, what can the Tumuts do?
Ombu Khan was helpless, and sneered: "Even if Dajin wants to borrow the Naturalization City, there is no problem. ”
"That's very good."
Yue Tuoke not only only wanted the territory, but also recruited 2,000 Han people from the Tumut Department and began to naturalize the outskirts of the city\u89
netbsp; 7f And he built a stronghold and a granary on the south.
Such a big movement could not hide people's eyes and ears at all, and the news spread in all directions.
In the Hetao steppe, Amur received the news from the Han messenger and quickly informed the Ezhe in Moxi and the Chahar tribes of several major Fujin. As for himself, he had already made a choice, he just wanted to live quietly with his tribe.
At the beginning of March, Jurchen supplies from Liaodong continued to enter the vicinity of naturalization.
Dolgon led two white flag armies to reappear in Monan after Yuetuo, and all the fortress passages along Xuanda Town were closed, and the Shang Alliance could only exchange information through Guò Black Tiger Mountain.
The atmosphere in the city of Naturalization was secretive, and the Alukharka mission had been kept in the Tumut barracks, and Ombu Khan ordered Mao Hanyin to go to Mobei to communicate with Chechen Khan and delay the marriage of Princess Ulan.
The 30,000 Jurchen army began to march to the Hetao grassland after the simple reorganization of naturalization, and before leaving, Yue Tuo led 3,000 cavalry to stay in the city of naturalization.
Ombu Khan was anxious, Yue Tuo was not sick early, not sick late, he was sick before the army went out and wanted to stay, and the army was under the authority of the emperor of the Tumut tribe, so he was at a loss. According to the plan, the princess's marriage is just around the corner, but it is impossible for the Jurchens to see the marriage between Mobei Mongolia and Tumut, not to mention that Yue Tuo was rejected by Princess Ulan back then.
On the outskirts of the naturalized city, Zhai Zhe silently watched Dolgon leave, a godsend, and the crazy plan in his mind became clearer and clearer.
