Chapter 191: Undercurrent
Arislan looked at Zhang Xiaoguang, "We have been like this for tens of millions of years, and men who are taller than a horsewhip can be killed after defeat. ”
"That's cruel!" Zhang Xiaoguang sighed.
"If we were defeated, they would do the same to us." Arislan smiled nonchalantly.
Guo Jiming next to him shrugged, "I now understand why it only took half a year for you Mongolians to exhaust all their weapons reserves. ”
"What about your father?" Xiaoguang wanted to change the topic to a lighter one.
"He took the remaining tens of thousands of cavalry to the altar of the Immortal Heaven, and I estimate that now those man-eating wolves have fallen to the ground." Arislan's answer was still uneasy.
Zhang Xiaoguang didn't know what to say, and everyone fell silent.
"I remember you said that you still have about 700,000 people in Mongolia. I think that after yesterday and today, even natural disasters and man-made disasters, it would be good to have 600,000 people left. Cao Laili couldn't help it, and he had one more mouth.
No one refuted Cao's words, because no one dared to guarantee how many people died in the clashes.
"Does that make sense?" After being silent for a long time, Xiaoguang asked.
Arislan lowered his head and fiddled with the reins, taking a breath, "It'll be fine later." ”
"Really?"
"Hmmm! Now that there are no more hostile forces on the steppe, we can rebuild our homeland! Azhislan said firmly.
"That's for the best." Zhang Xiaoguang suddenly felt a little tired, turned his head and lay down in the carport.
……
Two days later, everyone returned to the camp in the central royal court.
It seems to be more lively now than the day before yesterday, because there are countless cavalry around, and the yurts of the cavalry are one after another, and you can't see the end at a glance!
Rakosen personally came out to greet his savior, the scene was very grand, countless men and women sang and danced, like a hero to welcome the triumph!
The banquet is indispensable, in a big golden yurt, warm as spring, Zhang Xiaoguang and others were invited to the most honorable position, eating roasted golden lambs, drinking mare's milk wine, watching many beautiful girls in front of them dancing dances they couldn't understand!
Of course, in addition to Zhang Xiaoguang and others, there were many other Mongolians at the banquet, but most of them looked young, and only two were middle-aged and elderly, and now they are all talking and laughing around Rakosen.
After three rounds of drinking, Rakosen suddenly stood up and knocked the golden cup with the silver knife in his hand, making a crisp and pleasant "ding" sound. Everyone stopped talking and looked up at Lakosen.
Rakosen first gave a big chase to Iliwa, and then everyone stood up and cheered, raising their glasses and drinking!
Mende, who was next to him, told Zhang Xiaoguang and the others that Rakosen was thanking Changshengtian for his favor and blessed them to get rid of Ge Ri Letu and them. Xiaoguang and the others also raised their glasses.
Then Lacoson pointed to Xiaoguang and the others, and said again, and everyone looked over. Zhang Xiaoguang estimated that he was thanking himself, and hurriedly smiled and nodded to the people who came over.
But some of these people are very friendly, and some are very young, but they show a trace of hostility towards Zhang Xiaoguang!
What's going on? Zhang Xiaoguang was a little confused, and hurriedly asked Mende, "What are you talking about?" ”
"Your Excellency said, you deserve to be rewarded if you win the championship in this competition. My lord wants to give you those 3,000 horses as gifts. Mende said with a smile.
"Oh." Xiaoguang was thoughtful. "I don't think some people on the other side seem to be reluctant!"
"Of course, because these three thousand war horses were made up by various tribes, and of course they feel distressed when they take their things."
"Don't want to? Then why did they take it out in the first place! Lei Tong said dissatisfiedly.
"That's what their Lao Tzu agreed to take, but their Lao Tzu was killed by Ge Ri Letu in the conflict the day before yesterday." Mende explained, "So, the new leaders who have just taken office, are not very happy with what Master Rakoson has arranged. ”
Sure enough, some of the people sitting in the opposite seat stood up and said something to Rakosen, but Rakosen pushed back strongly, which made many people's faces a little unnatural.
Zhang Xiaoguang felt that the atmosphere was a little depressing, and thought to himself, Lakosen is also for his own good, but if it affects the peace of the grassland in the future because of his own affairs, it will not be worth it, simply, Xiaoguang stood up and knocked on his cup.
When everyone heard Xiaoguang knock on the cup, they all looked at it in surprise, and even Rakosen was stunned, which made Zhang Xiaoguang feel that he should not be there to comply with the rules of Mongolia. But now that you've stood up, you still have to say what you have to say.
"Dear Lord Rakosen, thank you very much for your kindness! In fact, we would rather have the five thousand slaves than the horses. I don't think it's better to exchange the horses you gave me for slaves, do you think that's okay? "Zhang Xiaoguang means that he doesn't want the war horse that everyone needs, but wants the second slave, so that everyone will have no opinion, and this matter will be completed.
Sure enough, after listening to Mende's translation, the faces of the people sitting on the other side smiled and nodded again and again. But Rakosen was reluctant, and quarreled with the people below.
"What's going on?" Zhang Xiaoguang asked in surprise.
"The lord said that the five thousand slaves were not worth three thousand horses at all, and at most a thousand. Your Excellency wants to give you five thousand slaves, plus two thousand horses. Mende said with a wry smile.
"Commissar, what do we want slaves for? We want war horses, three thousand war horses, we can all become an army! Guo Jiming said anxiously in the back, and the other Zhang Kun and others also nodded.
Zhang Xiaoguang looked back at Guo Jiming and the others, and said with a smile: "If you ask for slaves, of course you will give them freedom." ”
Damn, it turns out that Zhang Xiaoguang asked for slaves to be released! Everyone was completely desireless, and even Mende was stunned.
Before everyone could digest Zhang Xiaoguang's central idea, Zhang Xiaoguang stood up again, "I don't want the two thousand horses, I'll exchange those two thousand horses for some cattle and sheep!" ”
For Xiaoguang, war horses are really meaningless, he didn't plan to put the military first in his heart, rather than war horses, it is better to have some cattle and sheep. Able to eat and work. The endurance of the ox is much better than that of Marco, and it is even more powerful!
After Mende finished stammering and translating, the young leader on the other side and Rakosen directly quarreled! Ajislan couldn't stand it anymore, and walked over, "Political Commissar Zhang Xiaoguang, just listen to my father's arrangement for this matter, you are helping those who oppose him to speak." ”
Xiaoguang was stunned, did I do something wrong? I just want to bring them together, huh? But how did Xiaoguang know that he made such a fuss, but it caused Rakosen's majesty to suffer.
In the end, Rakosen made a strong contract, and the reward for Zhang Xiaoguang and others was 1,000 war horses, 1,000 cattle, 2,000 sheep, and 5,000 slaves .......
Standard Overnight Rich!!
Guo Jiming gloated and said to Zhang Xiaoguang: "Political commissar, with so many livestock, we can't rush back." If your old man releases these slaves, then these cattle and horses will return to nature. ”
This passed as a small episode in the feast, and everyone continued to eat and drink.
Everyone thought that this was the end of the feast, but at the last moment, Rakosen quarreled with those young people again, and one of the young men next to Rakosen even stood up and pointed a knife at the young leader, and was finally pulled back by Arislan!
"Damn, what's the situation?" Guo Jiming forgot to swallow the leg of mutton in his mouth, this plot is developing too fast, it was fine just now, how to say that you will turn your face!
The hostile young leaders stood up angrily, put on their clothes and left, and said something loudly as they left the yurt.
"What the hell is going on?" Zhang Xiaoguang was dumbfounded, "Is it because of the prize?" It's a big deal, we don't want anything, don't hurt the peace. ”
Mende wiped the sweat from his head, "Commissar, this matter has nothing to do with you. Just now, Lord Rakoson said that he was going to let Young Master Azhislan command the cavalry of the entire grassland, but some of the tribal leaders on the other side disagreed, and they were unwilling to hand over their warriors. ”
"Who's that young man?" Cao Laili stared at a young man who was scolding Arislan. It was this young man who pulled out his knife just now, and the whole banquet was unpleasant.
"That's Young Master Chagan Bari, the younger brother of Young Master Arislan." Mende quietly raised his thumb, "Young Master Chaganbari is just too short-tempered, in fact, he is better at fighting than Young Master Arislan." ”
……
The whole banquet ended unhappily.
When they went to bed at night, Zhang Xiaoguang and others held a meeting, originally everyone wanted to heal their injuries here before leaving, but now in the face of the sudden change in the political pattern on the grassland, everyone unanimously agreed to leave early and feel at ease. If you are involved in the next battle, it is too difficult to say whether you will survive safely. If it weren't for the timely arrival of Arislan this time, there would definitely be casualties!
The next day, Zhang Xiaoguang and the others went to Lakosen to say goodbye, but Lakosen must let Zhang Xiaoguang and the others stay for a few more days. In the end, Zhang Xiaoguang said that there was an urgent matter at home, and his wife was going to give birth, so he let Rakosen relax and stay for another day.
That night, at Rakosen's farewell banquet, Zhang Xiaoguang euphemistically raised his worries about the future of Mongolia, "Lord Rakosen, as the master of the steppe, all living beings are now your servants, and you will definitely recuperate in the future, in the past six months, our Mongolia has suffered too much war trauma!" I would like to toast you with a glass of wine and wish you an early lead Mongolia to glory! ”
Rakosen listened to Zhang Xiaoguang's words, his eyes flashed, and he smiled, "Political commissar, rest assured, some wolf cubs can't affect the stability of our Mongolia." ”
Chaganbari raised his glass and said, "Sooner or later, the sun will shine on the entire grassland, and the ice and snow will eventually recede!" ”
"That's the sun of the prairie, not the sun of our humans." Xiaoguang thought about it for a while and decided to tell the truth, "According to the inference experiments of our Chinese scientists, it turned out that now the overwhelming radioactive fallout has killed the germs of all plant seeds, do you know what this means?" ”
Rakosen was silent for a long time, and did not say a word until the end of the feast.
