Standing on the top of the Sky Ridge and looking west, the Tuoketo grassland was shrouded in a layer of mist, like a fairyland, and Princess Ulan left the cottage early in the morning to take advantage of the convenience provided by the weather to contact the scattered Tumut herdsmen, who were using the influence of the Khan Tent cavalry to connect the Tumut people into a net.

Zhai Zhe looked further south, and the killing of Hukou was blocked by the mountains and was out of reach. He knew that to be Fan Yongdou who killed Hukou, he needed to put in more effort. The Tumuts themselves were in danger and could not support him in the same way that the Jurchens helped Fan Yongdou.

However, compared with Zhangjiakou, the geographical environment of Killing Hukou determines that there is more room for swinging here.

Xikou and Zhangjiakou are tied for the largest trade towns in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and the styles of the two are completely different. Zhangjiakou is located outside the Great Wall of Xuanzhen in the Ming Dynasty, with convenient roads, huge markets, and Mongolians come and go freely, which is their favorite Han market.

Killing Hukou is different, here is the Han people's defense against the invasion of the grassland people, the slope is steep into a wall, the mountains are opposite, the Cangtou River runs through it, the terrain is very dangerous. It was as difficult for the Mongols to enter the Kill Hukou as it was to enter the Great Wall of Xuanzhen. Before the Longqing Peace Conference, Hukou was desolate and cold, and it was as strong as iron. After the peace of Longqing, killing Hukou became the most convenient pass for the Ming Dynasty to the only city of the Mongols on the steppe, and established its status in one fell swoop.

The merchants of Shanxi transported the goods from the mouth of the killing to the city of Guihua, in exchange for the fur livestock of the grassland, and then returned to the Ming Dynasty, south into Shanxi to the Central Plains, and east through Datong to Beijing. Therefore, without the Naturalization City, killing Hukou is like a tree without roots, completely defeated. Zhai Zhe's purpose was to temporarily replace Naturalization City.

At the foot of the Sky Ridge, Ning Sheng honestly cut down trees under the supervision of horse thieves, as long as he had food to eat, he had as much strength as he could, for fear that being lazy would make the overseer unhappy.

Che Feng held a whip in his right hand, and shouted from afar: "Ning Sheng, where is Ning Sheng?" ”

"Hey, here!" Ning Sheng raised his hand to signal.

Che Feng beckoned: "Follow me!" ”

Ning Sheng didn't know the blessings and misfortunes, and his heart was uneasy, and he followed the car to a newly built wooden shed outside the canyon.

Che Feng shouted inward: "The big boss, Ning Sheng has brought it!" ”

Big boss! Ning Sheng wiped his dirty hands on his tattered clothes.

"Come in!"

Zhai Zhe turned his head to see Ning Sheng's crampedness, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid!" ”

"Hey!" Ning Sheng bowed and nodded.

"I heard that you used to be in business and worked as a partner in a firm? Or sell your own goods! ”

"Someone sells goods to the grassland, I will help them sell it!"

Zhai Zhe nodded and asked, "I'm going to sell goods to kill Hukou, can you sell them?" ”

"Yes!" Ning Sheng had the feeling of being hit by a pie falling from the sky, he was afraid that Zhai Zhe would not believe it, and said: "I am familiar with the shopkeepers who killed Hukou, and I have been selling goods in naturalization for five or six years. ”

"Very good, I have a batch of leather goods, you go and write an estimate." Zhai Zhe beckoned the guards at the door and asked him to take Ning Sheng to the warehouse. Let Ning Sheng's valuation is also a test, and he is not the only one who is doing business among the refugees. The furs in the warehouse were collected by Princess Ulan with the help of the Tumut herdsmen. These are the herdsmen's winter hunting income, in previous years, as soon as spring begins, they can be sent to Guihua City in exchange for tea, salt and other things, this year there is no hope, Zhai Zhe told Ulan that he can help the Tumut people in this matter.

After Chinese New Year's Eve, the weather changed abruptly, and goose-feather snowflakes floated in the sky, thickening the snow that had melted a few days ago. Xiao Zhiyan has been gone for more than ten days and still has not heard from him, and Zhai Zhe is uneasy. It is impossible for more than 400 horse thieves to cross the Monan grassland without risk, and if they are unfortunate enough to be targeted by the Chahar cavalry, there is no hope of escape.

The heavy snow stopped for a day, and the day \u

1ooo

7a7a is still cloudy, and at first glance, it has not yet penetrated. Walking on the grassland in winter is most worried about encountering a snowstorm, the waving snowflakes will lose their way, and the thick snow layer will cut off the road.

Zhai Zhe was restless, worried about Xiao Zhiyan's safety. If Xiao Zhiyan can't bring these people to Motianling safely, not only will he not be able to defeat the other horse thieves, I'm afraid he won't be able to take the skins collected by Princess Wulan.

In the middle of the night, the snow began to fall again, Zhai Zhe tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, so he simply got up and stood at the door of the wooden shed, watching the snowflakes dance in the air.

Suddenly, from the road outside the canyon, a knight Pegasus came on a snowy side.

"Boss, someone is coming! That's a lot of people! The knight shouted as he ran, and it was a sentry set up on the perimeter.

"Where?" Zhai Zhe couldn't help but take a step into the snow.

"Just behind, I couldn't see clearly in the snow, and I only showed up a few miles away."

"Greet everyone up!" Zhai Zhe ordered the car in the house, and then stepped on the big black horse and headed in the direction where the sentry guard came.

It won't be someone else who came at this time, but with the previous experience of sneaking up on the mountain harrier in the Duoyan grassland, Zhai Zhe was still very careful.

Only three miles away, a cloud of black shadows came in the snowflakes, Zhai Zhe was stationed in the middle of the road, and more than a dozen horses rushed like a whirlwind.

Waiting for three zhang away, Zhai Zhe saw Xiao Zhiyan's yellow horse clearly.

Xiao Zhiyan spread his hands on the horse, and Zhai Zhe rushed up to high-five him in celebration.

"Flying snow, stepping on the grassland at night." Xiao Zhiyan patted the wine bag hanging on the saddle and laughed, and said, "And this, it's also a great pleasure in life." And he said, "I haven't felt this way for many years!" In those days in Zhangjiakou, the bones of the body seemed to be about to rot. ”

Zhai Zhe did not have the heroism of Xiao Zhiyan, and said: "This snow makes me very worried! ”

"We brought all the food from the cottage, so it was late. Two days later, we were trapped in the grassland, but fortunately, God was very face-loving

netbsp; ffo1" Xiao Zhiyan curled the corners of his mouth, his temperament has always been like this, and he has never seen a sad face.

As he spoke, Che Feng brought fifty horsemen to answer, and when he saw Xiao Zhiyan, he was relieved and ordered the horse thieves in the canyon to lift their vigilance.

A night of busy arranging new brothers, noisy in the canyon, the night is not peaceful.

Heavy snow was still falling, masking the horseshoe marks on the road.

In the early morning, God finally felt tired after a night of wantoning, and after the snow was over, it was sunny. Zhai Zhe invited Princess Wulan to go down the mountain to see her own power.

Princess Ulan wore a red leather jacket, and under the reflection of the snow, her lips were red and her teeth were white, which was extraordinarily gorgeous.

Zhai Zhe accompanied Princess Wulan's side, inspecting the people brought by Xiao Zhiyan, and the continuous rush made those people seem to be in low spirits, but Zhai Zhe couldn't afford to wait, he wanted to do his best to make the next plan.

"These are all the forces I have invested in the steppe, and I believe that with the help of the Tumuts, there will be no problem in clearing out the horse thieves of Helinger."

"Well, there are more than six hundred of them!" Princess Ulan nodded frequently, stretched out her fingers like green onions, counted, remembered something, and said, "Oh, no, there are two hundred people!" ”

"Raising so many people on the grassland requires food, so I want to do my best to get rid of Zhongshan wolves and Geng Guang!"

"What are you going to do?"

Zhai Zhe lowered his head and said a few words in Princess Wulan's ear, Wulan lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Okay! ”
