In the desert, it has always believed that the weak eat the strong, and the strong are respected, and it is common for the position of tribal leader to be seized by force. Of course, between the old and new champions, a killing is inevitable.

The civil strife in the Tatar Ministry and the replacement of the leader's position are, in a sense, also following the laws of the desert, as long as the new leader continues to show goodwill to Dahua, the Dahua court will generally not intervene.

Han Fei promised to avenge the lord of Zhao Min, but he had another consideration, the old leader of the Tatar tribe was the king of Shunyi who was enshrined by the imperial court, although this king was only symbolic, de jure he was a courtier of the Dahua court, and if Dahua wanted to exert influence in the desert, he must first protect the tribes that returned to the imperial court, and redefine the norms of the desert.

As long as the king of Shunyi is avenged and Zhao Min is put on the throne, an important signal can be announced to the other tribes of Beihu: as long as they submit to Dahua, the leadership of the tribe will be guaranteed, and the replacement of the tribal leader must conform to the norms of the imperial court.

However, when the matter was brought to the imperial court, after some arguments, I don't know what year and month it was, and it was impossible to wait for the imperial court to send troops. Han Fei considered that only by using the existing forces, taking the situation in the Tatar Ministry by surprise, and attacking and killing Lakshin and his main generals, could he successfully support Zhao Min to ascend to the throne.

The caravan continued to advance, because it had to take care of the injuries of the county lord Zhao Min, the speed of the march was much slower, and it took five or six days to wander around in the desert before getting out of the desert and arriving at the Beihu steppe.

Lord Zhao Min's wounds had healed, and his physical strength had recovered, and after disguising herself as a man, she rode a horse and followed Han Fei's side.

"County Lord, where is the path ahead?" Han Fei sat upright on the horse, looked left and right, and asked Zhao Min beside him.

Zhao Min pointed to the left side of the horsewhip in his hand and said, "Go in this direction for about a hundred miles, and this is where the king's tent of my Tatar Department is located!" ”

"Oh, where is that on the right?"

"There are about more than 100 miles on the right side, and it is the location of the king's tent of the Nabarian Tribe!"

Han Fei pondered for a while and said, "We are marching to the right along the junction of the Tatar Department and the Naiban Division, and the target is the Naiban Division!" ”

"Ah-" Lord Zhao Min said hurriedly: "Master Hou, didn't you promise to avenge me, why do you want to go to the Barbarian Department?" ”

Han Fei smiled faintly and said: "County Lord, Lakshen has just taken the position of leader, and the internal situation is not stable, he will definitely be wary when he hears that so many people from the imperial court have passed, and it will be difficult for us to get rid of him." After all, we are a caravan, and most of them are merchants who have no combat effectiveness, and it is the next step to start a war directly with Lakshin. ”

"Master Hou, then what should we do?"

Han Fei did not directly reply to Zhao Min's words, but asked: "County Lord, how strong is Lakshen in the Tatar Department, will he purge the forces that support King Shunyi?" ”

"The traitor of Laksin is a branch of the royal family, the strongest small tribe, but he also does not have the strength to control the entire Tatar tribe. After he launched a rebellion, it was inevitable to kill people and establish his authority, but he did not dare to carry out a large-scale purge of other small tribes, and he had to win over other small tribes to fight against the opposition of the royal family! ”

"That's good, if you kill Lakshin and ascend to the throne, the opposition will be much smaller!" Han Fei looked at the distance on the left side and said: "Lakshen is internally unstable, what he needs most is to find external support, especially the support of the Dahua Imperial Court, he will see us going to the Naiban Ministry, he will decide that we do not know or have no intention of intervening in the internal strife of the Tatar Ministry, and he will take the initiative to ask us to go to the Tatar Ministry, get the priority of the tea and horse trade, and his position in the Tatar Ministry will be stable." ”

"Oh, I see, this is what you Han people say in the book of 'lust and indulgence'?"

"The county lord really deserves to be the most beautiful flower of wisdom on the desert, yes, this is the plan! As soon as Laksin takes the initiative to beg us to pass, he will let his guard down on us, and we will have more chances to attack and kill him! The county lord also has to make some deployments secretly, secretly order reliable forces, and deal with the aftermath! ”

Han Fei paused for a moment, and then said: "Benhou has already sent someone back to Beijing to ask for an edict for the county lord, as long as the emperor decrees you as the new king of Shunyi, your position in the Tatar Department will be stable!" ”

"Thank you, Master Hou!" Zhao Min's face was full of gratitude, looked at Han Fei, and said excitedly: "I really don't know how to thank Master Hou!" ”

"Don't be thankful, you and I are both Dahua courtiers, and it is appropriate to support each other, not to mention, such a rebellious thief, loyal and righteous people should work together to eradicate it!" Han Fei smiled slightly, and said, "After the county lord ascends the throne, Ben Hou also wants to sign an agreement with the county lord to buy the furs of the Tatar department!" ”

"This is a great thing for the benefit of the people, I can't ask for it!"

Han Fei smiled and didn't speak, according to his plan, Han Fu wants to open a fur processing industry, which is very important for a stable supply of raw materials, which is also an important reason for making up his mind to help Zhao Min.

The caravan turned to the right and slowly moved along the border between the Tatars and the Nabarians towards the location of the Nabaran king's tent. At the same time, Han Fei sent multiple messengers to inform the ministries that the caravan of the imperial court's tea and horse trade had entered the grassland, so that the ministries could prepare for the trade.

In the seat of the Tatar king's tent, Rakshin took control of the situation by force, and after killing several loyal supporters of the Shunyi king, the situation gradually stabilized. After all, the tribes of Beihu believe in the law of strongmen, and Lakshin has successfully rebelled, and he will be the new leader of the Tatar tribe until no one overthrows him.

However, Lakshen did not have the joy of victory in his heart, especially the men and horses chasing and killing Zhao Min County Lord disappeared out of thin air, which made him very worried. Lord Zhao Min was the only heir to the King of Shunyi, and had a strong following among the royal family and other small tribes. If Zhao Min does not die and has the support of Dahua, his position will not be stable, and in the end, the Tatar tribe is likely to split into two tribes.

Zhao Min had to be eliminated, but where she fled to, she has not yet found out.

"Great King, Tan Malay reported that the tea and horse trading caravan of the Dahua Imperial Court has arrived at the border of the Tatar Ministry!" A Hu man who looked like a military advisor walked into the king's tent and reported to Rakshen.

Rakshen frowned and said, "The sudden arrival of people from the Dahua Imperial Court to the Tatar Ministry will have something to do with our internal affairs?" ”

"Probably not, the caravan did not come to the Tatar Ministry, but went to the direction of the Naiban Tribe's royal tent!"

"Went to the Barbarian Division? So, the envoys of the Dahua court had no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of the Tatar Ministry? ”

"Great King, Dahua has always been reluctant to interfere in the internal affairs of various tribes, which may be the reason why they are willing to go to the barbarian tribe! However, the arrival of the Dahua tea and horse trading caravan is great news for the king! ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

"If the king asks the court caravan to come to the Tatar Department first and obtain the right of priority in trading, then the small tribe will definitely be grateful to the king and support the king!"

"Well said! Immediately send an envoy to welcome the Dahua caravan to the Tatar King's Tent! ”
