The Hetao grassland is green and grassy.

On the edge of the east bank of the Yellow River, a cavalry of seven or eight hundred men was walking.

If it were a previous year, it would be delusional to want to cross the Yellow River in spring. But this year, perhaps due to the impact of the drought in Shaanxi Province, the rainy season in the grassland has not arrived, and Zhai Zhe led the people and horses in the cottage to swim across the Yellow River. Wang Yi also moved the newly built boats in the cottage to the Yellow River to transport herdsmen who were completely impermeable.

The Hetao grassland is empty and quiet, just like it was a year ago.

Since the defeat of the Tumuts, only a few herders have remained here. The Chahar people already have a vast Monan pasture, Lin Dan Khan in order to control the Eastern Mongolia, the center of the tribe is placed in the Zhangba grassland, although the water and grass in the Hetao are good, but temporarily vacant, only occasionally there will be Chahar cavalry to loot the livestock of the remnants of Tumut.

"From the past of these cols is the city of the river meander!" Among the horse thieves, there are many people from Shaanxi who are familiar with the terrain to show Zhai Zhe the way.

Zhai Zhe looked at the gray and continuous dirt mountain in front of him and ordered: "Temporarily stationed here." ”

Xiao Zhiyan has been away for seven days, and Zhai Zhe's heart has been unsteady.

After finding a hidden place and setting up a tent, Zhai Zhe ordered Che Feng to lead 50 people to search for the Tumut tribe inside the Hetao, and the 200 Khan Tent cavalry of Geriltu hid in the Hetao. He was worried that if there was really a conflict with the Ming Dynasty's people's rebellion army, he would be a little more confident with these people. The horse thief who was born as a herdsman was familiar with war horses, and his riding skills were not even worse than those of the Mongols, but when it came to war, the gap was like that between an adult and a child.

Three days later, the cavalry of Geriletu arrived, and Zhai Zhe was still looking at the crossing out of the mountain, which was empty.

The Hetao is surrounded by rivers on three sides, and the water and grass are abundant, but the closer to the border of the Ming Dynasty, the more desolate it becomes, and only the loess shimmering stones can be seen here, and the Mongolian tribes will hardly approach this kind of place.

"Tomorrow morning, I'm marching into the meander!" Zhai Zhe made up his mind.

"What?" Geriletu couldn't believe his ears, "Do you want to start a war with Da Ming?" "He doesn't know the condition of the meanders yet.

Zhai Zhe gave a brief explanation of the situation of the river meander.

"There's the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty!"

Griletu still shook his head and said, "It's a big deal, I want to ask the princess!" ”

"It's too late to ask the princess, I don't want to go to war, the meanders have what the Tumuts want!"

"What?"

"Han people! Shepherds! ”

Gezhiletu scoffed and said: "The Tumuts don't need shepherd slaves now, the pastures and fields of Tumo River are in the hands of the Chahar people, and it is useless to have herding slaves." ”

Zhai Zhe patted Geriletu on the shoulder and said, "After the battle of Zhaocheng, the Tumuts suffered heavy losses, and there are not many remaining troops, right?" ”

Geriletu looked at Zhai Zhe with wide eyes, but did not answer, he didn't know how Zhai Zhe knew this secret.

At the end of February, Zhai Zhe went to Motianling to ask this question, and Ulan couldn't bear the pressure and cried at that time, and Zhai Zhe guessed the general situation.

"With the current strength of the Tumuts, even if the Chahars are defeated by the Jurchens, it will be difficult to regain their former glory. Therefore, the princess discussed with me that she wanted to recruit Han Chinese to join the Tumut tribe, and the people in the grassland were strong. Zhai Zhe spread his hands and made a big hug.

"What does this mean by the princess?" Gřiletu was skeptical.

"Otherwise, you think I'll be all right and I'll rush to the loop."

Although Zhai Zhe was deceiving Geriltu, what he said was indeed the true idea in his heart, and the Tumut tribe could not do without the Han people if they wanted to revive it, which was a semi-Sinicized Mongolian tribe.

Since the outbreak of the Great War in Monan, there have been fewer and fewer Han people going out of the west, even if they have suffered a famine. From \u83

49 The Han Chinese, who had fled back to the Ming Dynasty, conveyed all sorts of terrible news. The remnants of Tumut had no strength and no intention of absorbing Han Chinese, and the Chahar people treated Han people like yellow sheep.

Now that the Hetao grassland is so empty, there is no problem at all in accommodating a few thousand Han Chinese, even if it is better to be a slave to the Tumuts than to starve to death in Shaanxi.

Early the next morning, the brigade set out, and the two hundred horse thieves explored the road and set out on the road into the ravine. The ravines of the Loess Ridge are like wrinkles carved by the heavens for hundreds of years, and the eyes are full of desolation and vicissitudes.

The cavalry zigzagged through the mountain road, and the thieves guarding the road were ecstatic when they saw so many people coming from the steppe.

The little leader came out of the ravine and asked in a loud voice, "Which brother is here?" ”

Che Feng was startled, and after observing for a long time, there was no ambush, and he waved his hand and ordered: "Arrest it!" The cavalry behind him took their bows and arrows to deter, and rushed up to tie up the thieves who blocked the way.

"Aren't you coming to the meander? It's all my own brothers! The little boss was anxious.

"Who's your own brother with you!" Che Feng slapped him in the mouth heavily, and ordered someone to report to Zhai Zhe later.

"How many thieves did you catch?"

When Zhai Zhe heard about it, he urged the horse to arrive, and only after careful interrogation did he understand the reason. He swung his knife and cut the ropes tied to the little leader's body, and said, "Go back and report that we are Mongolian cavalry, and we have something to discuss with your big leader." ”

"Are you really Mongols?" The little boss will be skeptical.

Zhai Zhe ordered Geriletu to bring dozens of sweat tent cavalry to come and said, "Look at it, aren't these?" There are still thousands of cavalry outside the mountain, and if Wang Jiayin doesn't come, we will enter the mountain to attack the city. ”

The little boss fled.

Zhai Zhe ordered a thousand men and horses to continue to move forward, and he led Che Feng and the Khan Tent cavalry of Ge Ri Letu to the front. More than an hour later, the brigade crossed the ravine and camped on the spot, and Zhai Zhe asked the Khan tent cavalry to accompany him and gallop in the direction of Hequ City.

Iron hooves rumbled, dust fell, and the sweat tent cavalry came to a halt twenty miles from the city wall. Zhai Zhe took Geriletu and Chefeng to ride straight to Hequ City.

There was chaos under the meandering city\u

FFOC Wang Jiayin's head buzzed after receiving the report, the main forces of all the units of the People's Revolution Army were defending against Cao Wenzhao's attack in the direction of Daming, and he never expected that he would be threatened by the Mongols behind him. In previous years, even if the Mongols plundered the border, they would never find the poor place of Hequ, and there was no oil or water to fish.

"You're saying they have something to talk to me about?"

"Exactly!" The little leader knelt on the ground, and did not dare to lift his head.

While the two were talking, a hopeful scout came to report: "One thousand Mongol cavalry entered, two hundred men arrived twenty miles outside the city, and three horsemen rushed down the city!" ”

Wang Jiayin ran up to the city, saw the three horsemen coming slowly from a distance, and ordered: "The pro-military camp will follow me out of the city!" ”

Zhai Zhe didn't stop his horse until he saw the people fleeing on the side of the road not far away, and after waiting for a while, he saw about 300 cavalry swarming out of the city of Hequ, and Ge Riletu's face changed slightly.

The cavalry stopped five miles away from Zhai Zhe, and Wang Jiayin also brought two relatives to come forward.

"Under Wang Jiayin!"

Zhai Zhe urged the horse to take a step forward, pointed to Gezhiletu and said, "This is Geriletu, the commander of the cavalry of Tumut Khan!" ”

"Are you Han?" Wang Jiayin was surprised.

"Exactly!"

"I've always heard about the name of the king leader in the grassland, and I entered the country today to discuss a business with the king leader!"

"Tumert?" Wang Jiayin's mind was high, and he remembered that a few days ago, a horse thief fled back from the grassland and said that the Tumuts had reconciled with Chahar.

"What business!"

"The Ming Dynasty once sent a letter to the King of Khan, hoping that Tumut could help the Ming Dynasty to suppress the river meander! But the king of Khan didn't want to intervene in the affairs of the Ming Dynasty, but last year the grassland herdsmen fled to Yan zhòng and wanted to ask for some Han people from you. ”

Zhai Zhe stretched out a hand and said, "The Great Khan will not treat you badly, one horse for fifty Han people!" ”

Wang Jiayin carefully debated the truth of Zhai Zhe's words, he really needs a war horse now, since the battle with the Guanning Iron Cavalry, his subordinates not only can't resist head-on, but they can't even escape.

"What if I don't agree?"

Zhai Zhe smiled and said, "Then the sweat tent cavalry can only be fetched by themselves!" Then he gestured to Geriletu.

Gezhiletu waved his hand back, and two hundred khane tent cavalry galloped in.

Wang Jiayin hurriedly retreated, and the two cavalry gathered for three or four miles to confront each other.

Zhai Zhe shouted: "I'm waiting for the big leader's reply!" ”
