Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In the middle of the night, with the help of the thin light of the snow field, Zhai Zhe and Xiao Zhiyan followed closely behind the Tumut Khan Tent cavalry.
In the shadows, the cavalry first turned west and finally to the north, and the Tuoketo grassland was located between the city of Guihua and the Yellow River, and further north was the continuous forest.
The grassland on a snowy day is very difficult to walk, and I don't know how long I walked, but the group entered the mountain forest, and in the shuttle of the woods, the sky gradually brightened. Only then did Zhai Zhe see clearly that there were a total of fifteen Tumut cavalry leading the way in front.
The road in the mountains and forests seemed to have no end, and the Tumut cavalry who led the way did not speak to Zhai Zhe and Xiao Zhiyan.
At noon, at the entrance of a mountain gorge, there were seven or eight horsemen waiting to be answered.
The cavalry in front gestured to Zhai Zhe, turned over and dismounted, and Zhai Zhe understood that it meant a temporary rest. A quarter of an hour later, a couple of cavalrymen came from behind, and reported: "No one is following!" ”
Zhai Zhe understood the caution of the Tumut people, and the Great Khan of Ombu hid in this deep mountain like a frightened bird.
A group of seventeen or eighteen people continued to wander around the mountains and forests around Zhai Zhe and Xiao Zhiyan, and walked for more than an hour, Xiao Zhiyan yawned straight on the horse, and looked very impatient.
After passing through a mountain forest, the situation in front of him suddenly became clear, and a knight ran in front of him, shouting: "Ge Ri Letu, the king of the Khan has an order, and those who lead the Ming Dynasty will go directly to the Khan account." ”
Turning a mountain road, the valley in front of you is densely populated with yurts, and Tumut's sweat tent is standing in the middle.
Zhai Zhe and Xiao Zhiyan followed the cavalry and walked straight over, and the Tumut cavalry around them were all watching them.

Outside the E86 Khan's tent, Geriltu announced loudly: "The messenger of the Ming Dynasty has arrived!" ”。
"Come in!"
Zhai Zhe opened the curtain of the sweat tent and walked in. In the center of the face was a large chair, cushioned by a tiger's skin, on which Omubu, the Khan of Tumut, sat upright.
On the carpet on both sides are two people, on the right is a young Mongolian woman, with a small and delicate head on her head, two green agate earrings hanging from her ears, white teeth and red lips, and beautiful eyes. Underneath her was an old man, with a few strands of black beard sparsely hanging from his chin, and his thin face was almost invisible under a large fur hat. On the left hand sat two middle-aged men, both dressed in leather robes, burly and strong.
Zhai Zhe raised his eyes and peeked secretly. The head of the Great Khan of Omubu was scattered behind him, his eyes were deep, his face was pale, his figure was a little emaciated, and the scimitar on his waist was dotted with the light of precious stones, which looked more like an ornament.
Zhai Zhe leaned his right arm on his chest, landed on one knee, made a salute, and said loudly: "Meet the Great Khan!" ”
Ou Mubu's eyes were like shuttles, he looked at him a few times, suddenly lowered his fingers, and shouted: "You are not the messenger of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
Zhai Zhe knelt down and prostrated on the ground and said, "Great Khan Mingjian, I am not an envoy of the Ming court, but I am indeed an envoy from the Ming Dynasty. ”
The man on the lower right was furious when he heard this, and shouted angrily: "Where did the Han people come from, dare to tease the King of Khan, and tie them up!" ”
Zhai Zhe blocked the rushing guards with his hand and said, "King Khan, the messenger of the Ming Dynasty will not bring more things than me, you listen to me!" ”
Ou Mubu stretched out his hand to signal the guards to stop, staring at Zhai Zhe with a pair of cold eyes.
Zhai Zhe calmed down, his clenched hands loosened slightly, and said: "The Ming Dynasty is unable to send troops to the grassland at the moment, and the envoys of the Ming Dynasty can only bring refuge to the Great Khan at most, and what I bring to the Great Khan is the road to rejuvenation." ”
The Mongolian girl suddenly asked, "Are you a businessman?" ”
"Exactly!"
It seems that the merchants of the Ming Dynasty really left a deep impression on the Mongols!
"The Great Khan knew that the Chahars were barbaric and impoverished, and that after occupying Monan, the trade routes were almost cut off. Zhangjiakou is now close to the Jurchens, and bandits are still rampant outside Hukou, and the trade routes are closed. ”
Ombu Khan nodded slightly.
"I'm here to help the Great Khan reopen this trade route."
The thin old man suddenly interjected: "These are all Chahar people, you should go to Lin Dan Khan!" ”
Zhai Zhe shook his head and said: "The Chahar people are barbaric and rude, and the Han people only believe in the Tumuts."
Omubu sneered and said, "Rhetoric, where do I still have the strength to occupy the business road now." ”
"King Shunyi and I, Daming, have always been close and are friends of the Han people. I don't need a great sweat to run this trade route, I just need the Great Khan to support me with the Tumut tribes in Holinger and Tokto. ”
The sweat tent was so quiet that you could hear a pin dropping.
"How are you going to reciprocate?"
"I will always be under the command of the Khan, and my wealth and people will belong to the Great Khan!"
Omubu laughed, his tone full of mockery, and said, "I know that the steppe has produced many rich Han Chinese, but none of them belong to the Tumuts. ”
"Yes, the steppe is the steppe of the Mongols. I have come to the Great Khan today, of course, I have my intentions, I only hope that one day when the Tumut Mongols rise to the south again, I will have the exclusive right to kill Hukou and trade to the steppe. ”
The Mongolian girl burst out laughing and said, "You're thinking too much." ”
Zhai Zhe shook his head and said: "The Han people have a saying that wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and I believe in my own vision. Chahar has always been a thorn in the side of the Jurchens, a thorn in the flesh. They will not tolerate the Monan steppe being occupied by the Chahars. War will soon come, and only by cooperating with us Han Chinese will the Tumut tribe have a chance to rise again. ”
After saying these words, Zhai Zhe's palms were already full of sweat, the so-called wealth and danger are true. If he can't convince the Great Khan of Ombu today, there is a good chance that he will be buried here. I don't know if Fan Yongdou had a fear like him in his heart when he led the caravan to the Duoyan Grassland alone.
Hearing this, everyone in the tent closed their mouths and pondered. Maybe until this moment they \u6b6

3. Look at this sudden Han Chinese.
Oumubu inspected left and right, and when he saw that no one asked again, he lowered his head and ordered: "Ge Ri Letu, and take these two Han people down to rest." ”
Zhai Zhe saluted again and followed Geriltu out of the tent. His words have been finished, and it is up to the god of fate to decide.
Zhai Zhe went out with his front foot, and the atmosphere in the big tent immediately became warm.
The emaciated old man bowed down and said, "King Khan, this Han man is of unknown origin and cannot be believed, but I think some words still make sense. Now that the Jurchens can attack the capital of Neng Daming, it is the time when the national fortune is prosperous. The Chahar people were inseparable from the Jurchens when they were in the Duoyan Grassland, and perhaps we could go to Liaodong to join the Jurchens in this kind of form. ”
Omubu asked, "Guluge, even if Huang Taiji has any benefit from defeating Lin Dan Khan and me, will he give Mo Nan to us?" ”
Gurug opened his mouth and did not speak. The man on the upper left said: "Great Khan, I also think that Gu Luge's words are right, the Jurchens are a force that can be used. ”
The Mongolian girl suddenly smiled and said, "You all persuaded the Great Khan to defect to the Jurchens, have you heard of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms of the Han people?" Do you know why Sun Quan couldn't surrender to Cao Cao during the Battle of Chibi? ”
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was written in the early Ming Dynasty, and it was already very popular at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Hang Gao, the Han man, has always been not close to the Han people, and he really hasn't heard of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but Gu Luge has heard it, and Omubu has also heard it.
During the Battle of Chibi, Zhang Zhao could surrender to Cao, but Sun Quan could not surrender to Cao, corresponding to this time, Hang Gao and Guluge surrendered to the Jurchens naturally, but after the surrender of the Great Khan of Ombu, I am afraid that there will be no more opportunities to unify the territory of the Murt Mongols.
Omubu Khan's face was pale, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on Guluge's back, and he hurriedly defended: "You know where Princess Ulan said this, I also had a deep hatred with the Jurchens, all for the sake of the Tumuts. ”
Princess Ulan turned to Omubu Khan and said: "I think there is some truth in the words of that Han people, since the beginning of Altan Khan, my Tumut Department and the Han people have been inseparable, without the Han people, there would be no prosperous Dabansheng and Naturalization City, and now when my Tumut Department is declining, Changshengtian will send another Han person." ”
Hang Gao shook his head and said, "Even Da Ming can't be trusted, how can we trust a Han person so simply!" ”
Omubu Khan was silent, his eyes facing the direction Zhai Zhe had left.
