Chapter 26 Task 7: Reaching out to Mongolian Herders (Part II)

There is another problem, after arriving at Mopan Mountain, the dry food that Long Thirteen and they carried only had five days left!

In other words, not to mention recruiting the Mongols, they can even go back smoothly with these grains.

However, Dragon Thirteen was not discouraged.

He called the meeting.

Since the simulator asked him to cultivate Long Xiaoshi, this time he brought him with him.

Such a bold bandit leader is obviously something that people including Bai Wenxuan, He Jinlong, and Long Xiaoshi have never seen, but it is precisely because they have not seen the world that they are bold, if they are old, have a family, and see the "world", they will look ahead and backward in doing things, and they will definitely not agree to Long Thirteen's choice.

This is the only reason why Long Thirteen only wants to choose young, unmarried teenagers.

Although they have experienced something, they have not yet taken shape.

They, whether they actively or passively choose to join the ranks of the thieves, are all bold without exception.

So, after meeting Long Thirteen, an independent special traveler, they will start a different life.

Like this, staying away from the lair to recruit Mongolian tribes, only such a teenager dares to follow, at this time near Mopan Mountain, there are naturally some rogue tribes, but they haven't thought about it.

Of course, if there were Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and other people with a little vision near Mopan Mountain at this time, especially Zhang Xianzhong, he liked to recruit Mongols the most, and he would definitely make the same choice as Long Thirteen, but at the moment they were not nearby.

"Three masters, it's better to ask one family, there are those who are willing to follow me and wait, you can eat and dress warmly, there must still be some who are willing to follow"

Long Xiaoshi said.

Long Thirteen snorted, "I only have five days of dry food left, so if I go to ask for a family, when will I ask, when will I be afraid, I am afraid that not a single Mongol will be recruited, but he will starve to death."

The crowd burst into laughter.

This is a young man, if it is put on Lao Cheng's heavy person, he has long been worried and persuaded Long Thirteen to hurry back to the old nest of Jiaokou Fort, how can he still have the heart to laugh.

Seeing that everyone was making fun of him, Long Xiaoshi was not embarrassed, he continued to suggest: "Every small river that flows down from the west side of Mopan Mountain has a Mongolian Taiji tribe, and they have a maximum of ten Taiji, and we will send ten people to ask one by one, how can they starve to death?" ”

Long Thirteen nodded, "Don't laugh when you wait, Xiao Shi's idea has grown a lot, I will wait for the army near the left, and send someone over to ask, they will not riot and kill, but this is not the best idea"

Bai Wenxuan said: "It's better to wipe out the nearest small tribe, and the rest may surrender to me and others in horror."

Everyone laughed again, but Long Thirteen said, "Although it is a little unbearable, it is not completely unreasonable, the people on the grassland respect the strong, in the pre-Yuan era, could it be that Temujin's tribe was the largest?" No, it's just the most powerful, that is, he unified the Mongolian tribes"

"If it is on the grassland, this suggestion of Wen Xuan is unavoidable, but this is in the Ming Dynasty, these herdsmen do not have a large number of cattle and sheep, and they live very close to each other, once something happens, they are deep in a foreign land, and they will definitely unite to deal with us, a thousand horses, do you think you have the ability to deal with it?"

"This ......", Bai Wenxuan's face couldn't help but blush a little.

He Jinlong said, "It's better to make a promise in the future, such as following me, so that you don't have to worry about eating and drinking in the next few years, and you can have a lot of cattle and sheep......

Long Thirteen nodded, "It's almost to the point, to solve this matter, we must be clear, why they fled all the way here from the side pass, there must be officials and soldiers chasing them, otherwise according to their minds, it is best to stay near the side wall, once the climate on the grassland improves, they can return to a familiar place to continue grazing."

"But they have gone deep into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and maybe they have had a lot of conflicts with the Ming people and formed a great enmity, so their only hope is that someone from the government will come to appease them as soon as possible, and the nearest official government is Linxian."

"Linxian, in the past six months, not only has a large group of rebels passed by, but now a large number of Mongolian herdsmen have arrived, how can the villagers near the county not panic, most of them have either fled to the dangerous places in the mountains, or all of them have hid in the county seat."

"The counties north of Yongning Prefecture, which used to be the main place of grassland, in the Yuan Dynasty were all used as grasslands, and all dynasties and dynasties will set up official horse farms in Lanzhou, and they are also mountainous, even if they are from other places, most of them also have cattle, sheep and horses."

"We've already identified ourselves as thieves, and there's only one way to trust them."

Long Xiaoshi blurted out, "Take Linxian!" ”

Long Thirteen couldn't help but feel more approval in his eyes when he looked at Long Xiaoshi.

"Exactly, firstly, we are waiting for the grain and grass to run out of food, and we must supply it as soon as possible, secondly, once we take Linxian, there will be a large number of cattle, sheep and horses that can be obtained, and some of them will be used to win the trust of Mongolian herdsmen, and third, we can pick up some Mongolian herdsmen who are also teenagers to attack Linxian with us."

"After that, there is the friendship of teammates, and it is completely different, remember, I don't want to take down all these herders."

"Among these Mongolian herdsmen, there are those who are as timid and cautious as Batu, and naturally there are those who are young and bold, so I will just take these herdsmen away, and then give some grain, cattle and sheep to the herdsmen who remain in the local area."

Bai Wenxuan said: "But I always feel a little awkward to attack the county seat with the Tatars......

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

Long 13 sighed and said: "I'm the same as you, I'm all Han Chinese, but I'm still a thief, and the officials and soldiers are doing everything possible to hunt us down. Can there be an abuse of one person? It's just that the rich and the official's money, grain, and grass are taken and distributed to the people."

"You have also seen it, there has been a drought in northern Shaanxi for three consecutive years, Shanxi is slightly better, but it is also limited, even if there is no me, most of them will flee, you are different from me, I have done starvation, I know what it feels like, starvation, there is no one in ten"

"Even if you survive, you will be trapped into the ravines and bait by the rebels, but has the head of my Dragon Thirteen's battalion ever done such a thing? No, I use a soldier in every battle, a real soldier! ”

"Therefore, it is their luck that they met me, not to mention, following me Long Thirteen, but starving them? Or are they frozen? There is no hunger, ravine, or bait at the head of my camp, except for the soldiers, the people in the old camp can be fed and clothed, and how many camps in the world can do this? ”

Bai Wenxuan nodded fiercely, "Three masters, you say, how to attack the county seat?" ”

......

Dragon Thirteen soon met Batu.

But after he said what he thought, Batu kept shaking his head.

Long 13 said: "Batu Taiji, this is the last time I will talk to you."

"You want to wait for the government to come to appease you, your wish is good, but now Shanxi is full of thieves, and the government is shrinking in the city and dare not come out, which one will appease you?"

"This is one of them"

"Second, even if someone takes the risk to appease them, they don't have extra cattle and sheep to provide you with food and grass, if you don't have enough cattle and sheep, how long can you survive just by relying on these horses, and then you won't be a thief like me?"

"Once you become a thief, the officials and soldiers will chase and kill even more, and it is inevitable to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and then you and others, whether men, women, or children, will be killed."

"Third, if you send some men and horses to attack the county seat with us, you can get some cattle, sheep, grain and grass in order to survive the present, and if you are not willing to follow us and others at that time, you will just push all your brains on us, and there will be no damage to you, why not?"

At this time, a young man about fifteen or sixteen years old beside Batu heard this and shouted loudly: "Abu, I think this eldest brother is right, it is freezing right now, and I don't know how many horses will be left in the beginning of spring, besides, there are already several epidemics in Taiji's team!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Long Thirteen couldn't help but be shocked, "Could it be that the plague was brought in by them?" ”

He hurriedly asked, "Where are they?" How many? ”

The boy said, "At least three tribes of Taiji have appeared! ”

"Then don't let the people of other tribes come near them!"

"Why is that?"

Long Thirteen couldn't tell him why, so he had to say indiscriminately, "But have you eaten that groundhog?" In the past, it also happened in Qingjian County, the herdsman was unfortunately infected after eating a marmot, and everyone was helpless, and finally I found a way to eliminate this catastrophe! ”

"What's the solution?"

"There is no secret, as soon as you notice that someone is showing signs of infection, isolate him immediately, do not let anyone near him, and preferably isolate his whole family! If they don't listen, kill them all, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, and the worst thing is that you wait for all these thousand households to be infected and die! ”

At this time, Nabatu was also frightened, he thought: "Since this person has a good word, most of them have indeed experienced it, and it is okay, a dead horse is regarded as a live horse doctor", so he shouted to his eldest son: "Still stunned, hurry up and notify everywhere, and do as this little brother said!" ”

......

Five days later, the food and grass of Long Thirteen and the others will be exhausted.

However, in the past few days, the Mongols have quarantined the plague as he has described, and there seems to be no sign of a widespread outbreak, especially of spreading to tribes other than the three tribes.

Batu finds Dragon Thirteen.

"Well, just listen to you once, I found you about three hundred teenagers who are willing to fight, but they have all been expelled from their homes, and even if they talk about it in the future, they can't be counted as people in the tribe."

Long Thirteen knew what he meant, and quickly thought about how to break the city.

......

The next day, a small group of Mongolian herdsmen appeared near the county seat of Linxian County, about more than ten households, all of whom dragged their children and daughters, and the horses were also weak.

Linxian Lian is called Ma Feng, it is the person of the Ma family in Shanxi, he has 300 regiments of training soldiers, these days after seeing the Mongolian herdsmen, he wants to go out and cut off a few heads, but he is afraid of the strength of their cavalry, and finally has to watch them run into the mountains.

Now that I finally saw it, how could I let it go, so I prepared to go out of the city to pursue.

However, he was soon stopped by the master beside him.

"Ma Ye, you don't want to think about it, they were all a big team a few days ago, why did a small team come here today, and they are all weak?"

Ma Feng's eyes lit up, "What does the master mean......"

"Yes, it is estimated that it was a trick of the Tarslaves to lure the enemy"

"But I haven't entered martial arts, this Lian always bought it for a lot of money, and it's still an agent, if there is no merit, it is estimated that this agent position will not be done."

"Ma Ye, this Tartar slave is going to be killed, but the situation also needs to be clarified, I'll wait to investigate around first."

"......., it's fine"

The next day, the master found Ma Feng, "Ma Ye, it's done"

"Oh?"

"Recently, there was a stream of thieves near Mopan Mountain, called very light lamp, I checked the Di newspaper, it is indeed one of the thirty-six bandits who entered Shanxi, the spies saw with their own eyes that the thieves and bandits had a conflict with the Tatar slaves for territory, and many Tatar slaves came down the mountain because they were not defeated by the bandits."

Ma Feng's eyes lit up, "Master, you mean you can fight"

Master nodded, "Yes, but only hit the small group of Tartars close to the city, once you succeed, return to the city as soon as possible."

"That's nature"
