Same night, same moon.
The Jurchen army was encamped in order, and Dolgon didn't think there was anything else that could stop him from returning. He was in a hurry to let Okan appear on the outskirts of the Naturalized City in order to put pressure on the Tumuts to stop trying to escape, surrender honestly, and prepare in advance what the Jurchen army needed.
The grain and grass have been consumed, the mules and horses are being slaughtered, and the baggage camp has become dispensable.
Until dark, the Han people in the heavy camp did not receive dinner, and several bold Han leaders found the commander Li Li and asked, "Have we forgotten today's dinner?" ”
Li Li glanced at them a few times and said, "There is no food and grass in the army, don't you know?" ”
"Didn't you slaughter some livestock?"
Li Li's expression was indifferent and he said, "That's for the Jurchen warriors who fight." ”
A few Han people were anxious and said, "Then we are not going to starve to death on the way." ”
Li Li showed an impatient look on his face and said, "Lord Belle said, when the day after tomorrow arrives at naturalization, we will be able to get enough food and endure it for another day." ”
The Han people glanced at each other a few times, flinched and retreated, Li Li did not come forward, they themselves did not dare to come forward, in the eyes of the Jurchens, they were not as important as war horses.
Summer nights are actually more suitable for marching than during the day, there is no sun exposure, and the grassland climate is cooler.
In the evening breeze, under the moonlight, the 50,000 cavalry of the three divisions of Chahar, Tushetu Khan and Zasaktu Khan did not stop all night. After learning about the shape of Monan, Ezhe believed that the Tumut Department was the key. Whichever of the Mongols or the Jurchens arrived first to naturalize, which side of the Ombu Khan would fall.
Nearly 1,000 scouts had been sent to the northern steppes in search of the Chechen Khan, and Ezhe himself wrote ten identical letters, which were handed over to the Chechen Khan by those who had met the Arukharka tribe.
It was important to prevent the Tumuts from defecting to the Jurchens, as it meant that the Mongols remained intact and could prevent Dorgon from receiving supplies. So far, none of the major Mongolian tribes in southern and northern Moxi have surrendered to the Jurchens. Horqin in Modong can only be regarded as a second-rate tribe in Mongolia, and he did not dare to make a move against Chahar after marrying the Jurchens for so many years, and there is only one true god in the hearts of the Mongols, that is, Genghis Khan.
Naturalization City.
Mao Han walked into the mansion where Yue Tuo was imprisoned with a sneer, bent down and said, "Lord Belle, the Great Khan invites you to a banquet." ”
"The Great Khan is back?" Yue Tuo turned his head with a shallow smile on his face.
"I just came back today, and I have to be free in the evening." Mao Hanyin's waist bent as if it was about to break.
"Let's go!" Yue Tuo got up, flicked his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and took the lead in walking out of the door.
The moonlight was hazy.
Twelve Mongol warriors waited outside the door with torches in a respectful manner.
Mao Hanyin led the way, and the Mongols escorted Yuetuo to the mansion of Omubu Khan.
The streets of Guihua City are deserted, there is no one else here except them, after the Mobei coalition army sneaked up on the Jurchen grain and grass camp, the Shang Alliance withdrew ninety percent of the guys, leaving only one shop to operate normally.
There were still three hundred steps away from the palace, and Mao Hanyin trotted all the way to the gate, shouting loudly: "Lord Belle is here!" ”
Ombu Khan heard the movement and walked out, and went down the steps to greet him, and said in his mouth: "Bel is here, please!" ”
Yue Tuoluo bowed and walked up the steps side by side with Omubu Khan.
In the living room, all kinds of dishes are on the table, and the maids are arranged on both sides, and the two of them are seated.
Omubu Khan's mind is not to eat at all, and no matter how delicious the food is, it is like chewing white wax in his mouth at the moment. Yue Tuo looked as usual, tasted casually, and talked about the different customs of the grassland and Liaodong.
After the wine was halfway through, Ombu Khan waved his hand to let the \ on both sides

Before he could say anything more, Yue Tuo stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "What happened before?" My memory is sometimes bad! ”
When Ombu Khan understood what he meant, he was moved and said, "Dolgonbeyl will be naturalized tomorrow." ”
Although Yue Tuo was imprisoned, he knew the outcome of the battle on the banks of the Yellow River well, and said: "I, Dajin, have always been kind to the Mongol tribes, and Dolgon has a strong temperament, as long as he is comfortable, it will be easy to do." ”
"Thank you Belle for your advice."
Yue Tuo smiled and said, "We are a family, aren't we?" There was no trace of the victor's reserve on his face, nor did he take the opportunity to vent the shame of being imprisoned, except for the occasional gaffe last time, he had been like a humble gentleman all his life.
Omubu Khan's face was ashamed, as if he had forgotten the ferocity of this person in front of him in the Jurchen camp that day.
The two ate and talked until the middle of the month.
Omubu Khan did not dare to let Yue Tuo return to his original place of captivity and arrange another comfortable place. Before parting, Yue Tuo asked: "My three thousand subordinates with red flags are still in the hands of the Great Khan!" ”
Omubu Khan suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly replied: "Exactly, all of them are safe and sound, and they will be returned to Baylor tomorrow." ”
Yue Tuo nodded, turned around and followed Mao Hanyin to his new residence.
The night was silent, and the people walking in the streets heard the neighing of horses in the distance, and then the footsteps of the cavalry galloped louder and louder. Yue Tuo deliberately slowed down, but Mao Hanyin didn't dare to urge, and waited with the guards around him.
In less than half an hour, there was a commotion outside the naturalized city, and the cavalry arrived outside the city, and Mao Hanyin also stretched out his head to look at the city gate.
The cities of the grassland are not like the Han people who open early and close late, not to mention that there are not many people in the naturalized city now. A moment later, the gates of the city were opened, and the sweat tent guards led a dozen men in, and Geriletu was covered in blood and his steps were in a hurry.
Seeing that the torches were bright, Mao Hanyin and more than a dozen other people came over with Yue Tuo, and Ge Riletu's face changed and he ignored it.

6 Passing over his shoulder, Yue Tuo smelled the smell of blood in the air and frowned slightly.
In the palace, Omubu Khan had just sent Yue Tuo away, and after receiving a kind response, he calmed down a little, and a soldier outside the door came to say: "Ge Ri Letu asks to see!" ”
Geriletu is back! It wasn't that Dorgon's army was coming. Ombu Khan was nervous and ordered: "Let him in." ”
Under the candlelight, Omubu Khan was shocked when he saw the appearance of Geril clearly, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Gřiltu's robe was red, and there was a knife on his left arm, and the blood on the wounded garment had dried up.
Gezhiletu fell to his knees and said: "We have been attacked by the Jurchens in the Tuoketo steppe. ”
Omb Khan's heart immediately tugged and he asked, "Has Dorgon arrived?" ”
"It's a pioneer battalion, if it weren't for the help of the Han cavalry, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to come back."
Omb Khan was dumbfounded, and said, "So, you have repelled Dorgon's vanguard battalion?" ”
Gřiltu knelt on the ground and said nothing.
Omubu Khan stumbled and said, "How is this good, how is it good!" He was afraid of wolves and tigers, and he couldn't escape in the end and fought with the Jurchens.
"Where did Zhai Zhe go?"
"He has returned to Hanzhai, and the casualties of the Han Department are not small."
Ombu Khan suddenly shouted: "He must have done it on purpose, right? I knew that he had never given up on that thought. You're working together to cheat me! His face was cloudy, and he finally ordered: "You stay in naturalization, and don't go out of the city." ”
Gerriletu's heart was cold, and he still couldn't escape that ending.
On a summer night, thankfully there is moonlight.
On this night, there were many cavalrymen who hurried all night. It was already the second half of the night, the dew was wetting the leather clothes, and a long fire dragon was galloping in the grassland north of the naturalized city.
At the beginning of the morning sun, the Chechen Khan finally saw the city of Naturalization on the distant horizon.
"Sons! Hold on a little longer, it's almost there! ”
