The secret letter in his hand slowly approached the dim light, and a blue flame appeared, which disappeared in an instant.
Zhai Zhe walked out of the camp tent with his back hand, and into November, the temperature outside the fortress became colder, and the night was even more chilly, and the armor at the tentacles was cold.
Zong Mao followed closely behind, and in just a few years, he changed from a slave boy to the general manager in charge of the money, grain and goods of thousands of people in Hanzhai, all thanks to the cultivation of the person in front of him.
"Very good, reply to Commander Xiao and lead the troops back, I want to see how the eight families react." Zhai Zhe said softly behind his back.
"Yes"
"How did Geng Zhu do that?"
"The progress is smooth, and many people in the Han Department are familiar with that side, so it is not difficult to do." Zong Mao bowed his head and replied.
Zhai Zhe pondered for a moment and said: "Geng Zhu has never done anything, and instructed Wang Yi not to go on a business trip!" ”
More than two months ago, Zhai Zhe planned to plant an eyeliner among the Han people of the Tumut tribe to monitor the movements of several major leaders of the Tumut tribe. After the Han people entered the grassland, most of them became Han slaves, and a few entered the Han tribe, and many people on both sides knew each other in the past, and even came from the same clan, so it was easy to insert an inside line.
The first batch of personal soldiers around Zhai Zhe are now at least centurions who survive. Because of Geng Guang, Zhai Zhe was not at ease to put Geng Zhu on the battlefield, and he was not diligent and cautious, Ji Hong was loyal and brave, and his position was very embarrassing.
Wang Yi had a deep friendship with Geng Guang, and he couldn't bear to see Geng Zhu wasted, so he recommended it in front of Zhai Zhe many times.
Zhai Zhe first arranged for Geng Zhu to go to Moxi with the caravan, and after undergoing the test, he officially let Wang Yi and him take care of the matter. Wang Yi is steady, and with his assistance, Zhai Zhe can rest assured.
"Let him keep an eye on that Guluge, he has a close relationship with the Jurchens, and the caravan is also naturalized by him."
"Yes!"
"You go back, let Bao Guanghe come over and follow me to patrol the camp."
Zong Mao took the order and retreated.
Hundreds of tents stood on the top of the grassy slopes in the Tuoketo grassland, and under the moonlight, patrolling soldiers led wolfkiller dogs to patrol the grassland, occasionally barking in a low voice.
The Han cavalry garrison is located in the south-west direction of the Naturalization City, to the east to the Naturalization, to the south to the Lao Ya Mountain, and the light cavalry can gallop for half a day, so that he can pay attention to the Qiē of the Mo Nan grassland, and it will not affect the cavalry training.
The morning's training was over, and Zhai Zhe took off his armor and sweated through his close-fitting cotton clothes.
Outside the main camp, two Mongol cavalry galloped up.
The messenger entered the camp to meet Zhai Zhe and saluted: "The Great Khan summons!" ”
"What's so urgent?"
Most of the Tumuts were friendly to Zhai Zhe and had received favors from the Han during the great drought.
One of them replied with a smile: "Last night, a Jurchen came to naturalize. ”
"Oh!" Zhai Zhe frowned and said, "Wait a minute, I'll change my clothes and go with you immediately." ”
Half an hour later, the 500 pro-military battalions of the 1,000 households of the Han Department lined up neatly and went to Guihua City.
In the city of naturalization, in the residence of Ombu Khan, Yue Tuo sat on the main seat, and Ombu Khan accompanied him.
"I have two things to tell the Great Khan about my visit," feeling the softness of the fur on his seat, Yue Tuo relaxed his body and said, "My Dajin army has been in Datong for three months, and the Tumut Department has given a lot of help, and Tiancong Khan asked me to convey my gratitude." ”
Ombu Khan bowed slightly and replied, "I am willing to serve Tiancong Khan!" ”。
"Now my Jurchen army is still stranded in the Ming Realm, and the situation is difficult, Tiancong Khan asked me to come to Mo Nan because I want to borrow another 10,000 stones of grain and grass from the Tumut Department, and I will definitely return it next year."
Yue Tuo's voice was gentle, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.
Omubu Khan's body froze, and after a while, he forced a smile and said, "My Tumut tribe has indeed run out of surplus food now, and winter is coming."
1ooo
4e86……”
Yue Tuo waved his right hand lightly, smiled, and said: "Great Khan doesn't need to cry poor in front of me, as far as I know, this year's Fengzhou Tan rice millet harvest, the harvest is more than 100,000 stones. Our army has not requisitioned more than 10%, and besides, it is only a loan of grain, and it will be returned in the coming year. ”
Yueto was so clear about the harvest of Tumut that Omubu Khan's back was cold.
"Thanks to the blessing of longevity, there is indeed a harvest this year, but now there are 50,000 tribes in the Tumut Department plus the Han people, and there is not much left of the consumption in a year, and if it is a disaster year next year, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive."
"We'll be back next year." Yue Tuo's smile slowly retracted.
Omub Khan gritted his teeth and said, "How about halving?" ”
"If the army runs out of food, the two white flag warriors don't know what they will do."
In Yue Tuo's mouth, the coercive words also sounded like a discussion.
Remembering Dorgon, Omubu Khan shuddered, and from the time he was naturalized by the fire, that man felt like a poisonous snake to him, ready to pounce on him and bite him.
When it comes to the safety of the Jurchen army, there is no room for negotiation in this matter.
Yue Tuo took a sip of tea, looked at the overwhelmed Ombu Khan, and continued: "I encountered an incident in the Monan grassland, presumably the Great Khan did not know that the caravan returning to Zhangjiakou from naturalization seemed to have been robbed by horse thieves. ”
Omubu Khan's mind was full of grain and grass, and he didn't care about what Yue Tuo said, so he let out a light "ah".
Yue Tuo said to himself, "The Han merchants walked the grassland for nothing more than money, but I didn't expect that the competition between them would be to the point of life and death. The caravan in Zhangjiakou didn't know if they dared to come to naturalize again. ”
At this time, Omubu Khan heard what Yue Tuo said clearly, and his heart was suddenly bursting again, and the green tendons on his head burst out, and he responded with a sneer: "The steppe horse thieves are rampant. ”
Yue Tuoha smiled and said, "The Zhangba grassland has been untouched for a year. ”
Ombu Khan couldn't sit still any longer, he didn't have the heart to talk about it in detail, and after a while, he left under the pretext of saying goodbye, and seeing the back of Ombu Khan leaving in a hurry, the smile on Yue Tuo's face became even stronger.
Before leaving the mansion, Guluge ran over quickly and reported: "The caravan returning to Zhangjiakou has been robbed. ”

3oooo Omubu Khan was furious and said, "I already know, no need to say more. “
"The Han guys say that among the horse thieves are the Tumuts." The Gurug seemed incredulous at the news.
"Summoning Zhai Zhe!"
After giving the order, Omubu Khan quickly walked out of the city of naturalization to the barracks north of the city, and he could not tolerate Zhai Zhe's behavior as excesses.
The 500 cavalry of the Han Department was stationed ten miles away from the camp of Omubu Khan, and entered the barracks with 20 people from Ji Hong.
Entering the sweat tent, Zhai Zhe saluted, only to see the eyes of the Great Khan as if he was about to kill.
"Did you do the caravan in Zhangjiakou?"
Zhai Zhe didn't think about hiding it, and replied simply: "Yes!" ”
Omubu Khan grabbed the quiver in front of him and smashed it into the ground in front of Zhai Zhe's eyes, scolding: "How dare you be so bold, do you want to kidnap my Tumut Division?" ”
Zhai Zhe was not flustered, and asked, "Great Khan, who told you this news?" ”
Thinking of Yue Tuo's strange visit, Omubu Khan calmed down a little.
"I never wanted to hide the Great Khan, but why do you think Yue Tuo came here?"
Ombu Khan sneered and said, "Don't think that I can't do without you. ”
"May the Great Khan ask himself, how did the Ming, Jurchen, and Mongols deal with Tumut?"
Without waiting for Omubu Khan to answer, Zhai Zhe continued: "The Ming Dynasty is the most generous to Tumut, and he is never stingy with city rewards and canonizations; In addition to Lin Dan Khan, the other tribes of the Mongol tribes were able to get along well, but now Lin Dan Khan is dead; Only the Jurchens suppressed and enticed the tribes, and did everything they could, and sooner or later all the Mongolian tribes would succumb to the Jurchens' iron hooves. “
"Great Khan, the Jurchen wolf ambition, don't you see clearly?" Zhai Zhe bowed to the ground and cried: "Those people in Zhangjiakou are all Jurchen minions, I am helping the Great Khan to clear the disaster!" If the Great Khan had allowed them to become naturalized, the Tumut tribe would not have been able to escape their eyes and ears even if the animals gave birth to a few cubs every day. ”
Thinking of Yue Tuo's understanding of the tribe's harvest, Ombu Khan's face turned slightly pale, and he said, "You shouldn't act without permission. ”
"The Jurchens forcibly paid military rations, so that Zhangjiakou's minions came all the way to naturalization, and now they are here to provoke the relationship between the Han Department and you, that is, they are not worried about Tumut. After all, the relationship between Tumut and Da Ming made them jealous, after all, Da Ming was their most powerful enemy. The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. Zhai Zhe was bitter and dry.
"Tumut can't turn against the Jurchens." Omubu Khan sighed, the huge gap in strength is irreparable.
"Wait!" Zhai Zhe got up from the ground, his eyes could not hide his excitement, and he waved his right hand.
"Just like it was a few years ago. The Ming Dynasty is very big, once when the civil engineering changed, even the emperor was trapped in Wara, after all, there was Zhongxing, and now it is only at another low tide, and when the people in the territory change, you can deal with the Jurchens with your hands free. Tumut only needs to lie dormant and save money, and secretly unite the Ming and Mongol tribes, and I will continue to serve the Great Khan as I did at the beginning. ”
Zhai Zhe's tone was subdued, and at a certain moment even he believed what he said.
"Is there a day?" Omub Khan hesitated.
"Yes!" Zhai Zhe's tone was categorical, and without the slightest hesitation, he must make Omubu Khan believe it.
"Let's take one step at a time." Omubu Khan sighed.
