When more than 10,000 cavalry appeared on the ground level, Omubu swallowed nervously, and a smile appeared on the face of Guluge beside him.

The city was empty, full of cow and horse dung and sundries, and at a glance it was clear that Chahar was in a hurry.

Yue Tuo ignored the Tumut tribes who were waiting in the distance, and directly led his troops and horses into the city of Guihua, which was the reserve of the conquerors.

"This is the banner of Yue Tuo, the left forward of the Jurchens, and it is still related to our Tumut Department." Gulug explained to Ombu.

Guluge was originally the leader of the Yehe tribe of the Jurchens in Liaodong, which had been conquered by the Tumuts a long time ago, and the leader was of Tumut Mongol descent. Later, Yehebu was defeated in the war with **Hachi for hegemony in Liaodong, and Guluge fled back to Monan more than 20 years ago to reattach himself to Xitumut. After Yehebu was wiped out by the Jianzhou Jurchens, the descendants of **Hachi married many Yehebu women, and Yue Tuo's mother was a member of Yehebu, and he was still Guluge's nephew according to his generation.

"Do you know him well?" When Omubu asked this sentence, he felt that he was very stupid, Gu Luge had not returned to Liaodong for decades, how could he be familiar with Yue Tuo.

"No, but I know him!" Gurug replied.

"You go to naturalize first to meet Yue Tuo instead of me, I will wait for Huang Taiji to arrive before I can show up!"

After all, Omubu is the Great Khan of Tumut, and if he welcomes the Jurchen lord Huang Taiji, he still said in the past, but now Yuetuo, who arrived in advance, is just a small Belle.

"Yes!" Guluge was excited, this is exactly what he was looking forward to, twenty years ago his heart was full of hatred for the Jurchens to destroy their family, but now he has only enthusiasm for the Jurchens, people always have to look forward.

Guihua City is the largest city on the grassland, in fact, it can only accommodate more than 100,000 people, the surrounding city walls are mostly made of soil and stone, the wall is about three zhang high, although it is not strong, but it is already a strong city for the Mongols who are not strong in siege ability.

Gu Luge took a dozen retinues to the outside of the Naturalization City, and after paying tribute to the Jurchen soldiers guarding him, he was allowed to enter the city to meet Yue Tuo.

Inside the city, Yue Tuo had been waiting for the arrival of the Tumuts, and he was now in dire need of knowing the whereabouts of the Khřì and Chahar people in southern Mongolia.

Gu Luge greeted Yue Tuo with a smirk, and without waiting for Yue Tuo to speak, he introduced his origin clearly, and climbed into relatives with Yue Tuo. This was the first time he had seen Yue Tuo, but since the Jurchen was strong, he had never relaxed his attention to Liaodong.

Yue Tuo's chief was much weaker than he imagined, and there was a slight resemblance to the Great Khan of Ombu. The internal struggle of the Jurchens was brutal, and the four major beylers left behind after the death of Hachi were only Dai Shan, but they had also lost their power. Yue Tuo, as the son of Dai Shan, was actually reused by Huang Taiji and was in charge of the Jurchen Army, of course Gu Luge did not dare to despise this young man in his heart.

"In this way, you are still my elder!" Yue Tuo had a smile on his face, and his gentleness surprised Guluge.

"Don't dare! Can't! "Gurug is extremely humble.

"Have all the Chahars fled to Moxi?" Yue Tuo asked.

"Four days ago, all the Chahar tribes crossed the Yellow River and fled to Moxi, but the day before yesterday, there were still Chahar cavalry activities with Lingel, as if they were besieging a horse thief's cottage!"

"Oh!" Yue Tuo was surprised.

Guluge told Yue Tuo the battle of the Tumuts and the Han horse thieves to attack the Chahars at the Junzijin Ferry, and of course he would not say that he did not participate in this battle.

Yue Tuo listened very carefully, and then asked, "How many cavalry do the Tumuts have?" How many Han Chinese are there? ”

"Tumut now has 10,000 cavalry, \u

1ooo

The horse thieves of 6c49 people should be around a thousand! ”

Yue Tuo nodded, he wanted to report these news to the Great Khan, which was directly related to Huang Taiji's decision.

"I know, you go back and tell the Great Khan of Omubu, Tiancong Khan will arrive at naturalization tomorrow, and come to see you again when the time comes!" Yue Tuo sent down an order to the Guluge to expel the guest, and he was to report the situation to Huang Taiji to determine whether to continue the pursuit of the Chahars.

Gu Luge bowed down again and said in a low voice: "Ye Hebu has now merged with Jianzhou, and I, Gu Luge, am also willing to serve Tiancong Khan with all my heart!" ”

Yue Tuo was a little surprised, looked at him deeply, and nodded slightly.

A day later, Huang Taiji's army arrived at Guihua City, Tumochuan waved its flag, and the people and horses were boiling.

Zhai Zhe hid among the cavalry of Che Feng, and quietly peeked into the ranks of the Jurchens as the Tumuts followed.

The Jurchen Eight Banners cavalry, the queue is neat, murderous, although they have been running around in the grassland for several months, but their sharpness has not decreased, if the Chahar cavalry that attacked Hanzhai the day before yesterday is like a wolf pack, then the Jurchens are like a tiger pack. The tiger originally lived alone, the tall and burly Jurchens looked vicious, and wore heavy armor, all of them looked like fierce tigers, if the tigers were a group, how would they match?

The Tumuts did not dare to sing anymore, like frightened rabbits, frightened by the vigour of the Jurchens. Even Zhai Zhe, who was peeping in the dark, was trembling in his heart, only a warrior who had been in battle for a long time had such a murderous aura, and only continuous victories could accumulate such momentum, no wonder even the most elite Guanning Iron Cavalry of the Ming Dynasty could not match such an army.

The Great Khan of Ombu followed closely behind the Jurchen envoy and met with Huang Taiji. Before meeting, he made up his mind not to show timidity, but when he really arrived in front of Huang Taiji's tent, his body began to tremble uncontrollably slightly.

Huang Taiji's body is slightly fat, and he doesn't look vicious, this person will decide the fate of the Tumut people, whether they are forced to move to Liaodong or continue to stay in Monan, it all depends on the words of the superiors.

The generals in the tent stood on both sides, and when Huang Taiji saw Omubu coming in, he was very enthusiastic, beckoned him to sit down beside him, and said, "\u."

18a2

4fc4 Mubu Khan, please be seated. My Jurchen warriors pursued Lin Dan Khan for months without touching his tail, but I didn't expect that it was you Tumutes who gave them a heavy blow in Junzijin! ”

Ou Mubu was slightly triumphant, and said modestly: "Quannai Tiancong Khan is mighty, and the Chahar people have become lost dogs, so they won this victory." ”

"Lin Dan Khan is cruel and ferocious, and has bullied many Mongolian tribes, and I, Dajin, at the request of the Mongolian tribes, raised troops to punish him, speaking of which, you Tumuts are also victims. Now he fled to Moxi through the Hetao, but after all, it is still a hidden danger in southern Mongolia. ”

Omubu nodded silently.

Huang Taiji ordered: "Dolgon, Yue Tuo, each lead the cavalry of the headquarters into the Hetao to pursue Lin Dan Khan, and be sure to clear the Chahar people in the Hetao steppe." ”

The generals under the tent came out of the ranks, their footsteps were heavy, and the sound of armor clashing and shattering.

Omub Khan did not dare to squint, how could the days under the fence ensure the dignity of King Tumut Khan. Unless he is willing to tie Tumut to this chariot of the Jurchens like the Mongol tribes of Modong. The Modong Korqin tribe has already become a reliable ally of the Jurchens through a marriage, should they do the same themselves?

Yue Tuo and Dolgon each led their own banner cavalry, and more than 30,000 entered the Hetao grassland through the Junzijin Ferry.

At the Junzijin Ferry, a large number of corpses left behind by the Tumut sneak attack on the Chahar people six or seven days ago are still there, and the weather is hot in summer, many of the corpses have decomposed, and there is a stench, and maggots are crawling.

The steppe of the Hetao had long been deserted, and the Jurchen cavalry searched there for two days without finding anything. The scouts reported that the Chahars had left the Hetao grassland, crossed the Tengger Desert, and headed towards the Great Grassland of Qinghai in Moxi.

At this time, it had been two and a half months since the Jurchen army left Liaodong, and the terrain of the Tengger Desert was secret, and the supplies could no longer support the Jurchen army to continue the pursuit of Lin Dan Khan, and Huang Taiji finally gave the order to retreat.

After this battle, Chahar was discredited among the Mongolian tribes of the steppe, leaving nearly 10,000 herdsmen along the way, all of whom became prisoners of the Jurchens.

What is even more cruel is that the Chahar people had already lost a large number of livestock in the drought of the first year, and were chased by the Jurchens in the steppe for two months, and countless livestock lost weight and died, and tens of thousands of people finally broke out in a huge crisis when crossing the Tengger Desert.

The Tengger Desert is dry and short of water, the already small number of surviving livestock continue to die along the way, a large number of herders who have lost their livestock and cannot survive began to loot other people's livestock, under the survival crisis, the suppressed feelings of the Chahar people finally exploded, even Lin Dan Khan could not stop this madness, and countless Chahar people died in the process of competing with each other for livestock.

Forced to desperation, Lin Dan Khan led the cavalry to attack the Ming Ningxia Guard, trying to plunder the Ming Dynasty to alleviate this existential crisis, but at this time, the Chahar cavalry was no longer brave, and was continuously defeated by the defenders of Ningxia Town, and fled to the Qinghai grassland in a hurry.

Instead of dying in the battle with the Jurchens, Chahar's elite suffered heavy losses in internal strife, and Lin Dan Khan was furious and fell ill in the Great Grass Beach of Qinghai.
