The Liu Xingzuo brothers were full of ambition and walked while chatting. I feel excited to be able to serve the court and the emperor, rather than being left out in the cold.

On the side of the road, two pairs of eyes were fixed on them, and it was not until they saw them off that they withdrew their gaze in disappointment.

"It's from the palace, if you go in, you can send a message to the emperor." Bumu Butai sighed softly, not hiding his disappointment.

Hai Lanzhu was noncommittal, knowing that the hope of wanting to send a message to the emperor was too slim, but there was only one way to go.

So, either way, give it a try. It's a big deal, I was cut off by those sword-wielding guards outside the palace, and I already had the heart to die anyway.

Bumu Butai is still young in the end, and Hai Lanzhu is more and thinner than she thinks. The two generals who had just passed, although they came out of the palace, Hai Lanzhu felt that she couldn't look for them.

If you want to find them, you have to find an official who is older than them, preferably a civilian official, and will not be as reckless as a military general. Maybe he won't be allowed to finish his words, so he will be dragged away and beheaded.

What should you say to stop the official, so that he can impress people and let him send a message to the emperor and forgive his relatives?

Hai Lanzhu has been thinking about this problem, but she found that apart from the somewhat ridiculous reason of "surrender and not die", they don't have more bargaining chips. The gold and silver on his body are not eye-catching to the emperor at all!

"Ice Flower Dew - Popsicle - Quenching thirst and cooling!"

The crisp shouting voice attracted Bumu Butai's attention, she subconsciously licked her lips, glanced at her sister, and asked tentatively, "Sister, are you thirsty?" ”

Hai Lanzhu smiled and said, "Let's go together and taste something fresh." ”

The three of them walked to the stall and saw that it was a half-grown girl who was selling.

When Er Ya saw the customer, she immediately showed a pleasing smile, greeted warmly, and skillfully mixed the ice flower dew, one bowl per person.

"It's really ice!" Bumu Butai took a small wooden spoon and took a mouthful, gently put it in his mouth, his eyes widened, and he let out a startled sound.

Erya smiled and bent her eyes, almost a girl of the same age, she seemed to talk more, "Of course it's really ice, it tastes cold." On a hot day, it was comfortable. ”

Hai Lanzhu was also very surprised to eat, but it was not as obvious as Bumu Butai, and asked casually: "I don't know how this ice is made, but it's not expensive to eat." ”

Er Ya smiled: "I don't know, anyway, there is a royal cold drink factory, just serve popsicles and ice cubes from there." ”

Royal?! It's really idle to engage in this strange thing.

Not to mention the emperor, even the nobles of Horqin, they don't have to work hard, they just sit back and enjoy their success.

Hai Lanzhu turned his head to look at the noon gate and the imperial city in the distance, and then looked at here, it seemed that it was not very far away.

With a move in her heart, she looked at Erya, thought while eating, and asked, "It's so far away from the imperial city here, I can't see it clearly." If only it could be closer. ”

Erya didn't know what she was saying, and explained enthusiastically: "That's not something that can be approached casually, except for some special days." ”

"What special day?" Hai Lanzhu smiled and asked, "We can't stay in the capital for long, see if we can catch up?" ”

Erya tilted her head and thought for a while, and said: "In three days, it will be a prisoner gift, and the captured Jiannu officials will be paraded through the streets, and then beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market." Maybe the people can get close to the Jinshui Bridge and see the Long Live Lord ascend the Wumen Tower......"

"It's just that the big officials who built slaves want to cut off their heads to show the public?" Hai Lanzhu's heart tightened, and she hurriedly confirmed.

Er Ya was not quite sure, and said, "I also heard about it, is there anyone else?" ”

Hai Lanzhu smiled, lowered her head and ate cold drinks, not answering these words.

"Another bowl—" Bumu Butai hesitated for a moment, then said, "Change that shaved ice!" ”

Er Ya agreed with a smile, and quickly used a tool to chop up the ice cubes, add chopped fruits, pour milk and juice, and serve them over.

The colorful snow and ice, exuding a hint of coldness, are refreshing and mouth-watering to look at and smell.

If there were ice cubes, I would make them, it's so easy! Bumu Butai muttered in his heart, and took the spoon and tasted it.

The sound of horses' hooves was tuked, and more than a dozen horses came slowly. Obviously, it is close to the imperial city, and no one dares to gallop and be presumptuous.

Nuke! Hai Lanzhu immediately stared at a guy on the horse, without blinking, her eyes moving.

Perhaps, this is the only chance. Before the parents and relatives were escorted to the capital, they had not yet been disposed of.

Hai Lanzhu gritted her teeth, got up suddenly, and quickly chased after her, shouting, "Nuke, Nuke." ”

The sudden change slowed down a dozen knights, and Nuke grabbed the reins and turned his head to look, his face couldn't help but show a little joy.

Bumu Butai didn't react, the spoon was still in his mouth, and he watched his sister rush over in amazement.

"It's you, Xiaozhu." Nuke smiled and raised his hand, rolled over and dismounted.

"I'm not called Xiaozhu." Hai Lanzhu stood still, his face was solemn, and he was a little absolute, and said loudly: "I am the daughter of Zaisang-Buhe of the Horqin Division, and my name is Hai Lanzhu. ”

Well? The knights who had already slowed forward were stunned for a moment, then turned their horses' heads and stared at the Korqin woman who took the initiative to reveal her identity with different expressions.

Hu Dawei looked up and down, his face was suspicious, and he couldn't guess what this woman wanted to do when she reported her home.

Nuok was also stunned, blinking slowly, his face cloudy.

For Hai Lanzhu and Bumu Butai, Nuke has a very good impression. But he thought it was a daughter of the Han family, and he didn't have much hope.

When we met again in the capital, Hai Lanzhu took the initiative to greet and hurriedly ran over, which surprised Nuke.

But in the blink of an eye, the family reported that it was the daughter of the fallen Korqin nobleman, which made Nuke not know what to do for a while.

Although the Zalut Department is only one of the coalition forces that crusade against the Korqin Tribe, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an enemy, attacking its tribes and capturing its relatives, but you have participated in it, what else do you have to do?

Besides, there are also Ming army generals next to this, and the woman from the Horqin Department is coming to you, how strange it sounds, it's a bit ......

Hai Lanzhu looked away from Nuke, looked at the few Ming generals on the horse, and said loudly: "I am here to reason with your Ming emperor." ”

Be reasonable?! Is it just that you are a Mongolian woman, or that Horqin, a tribe that has perished? Hu Dawei and his companion next to him glanced at each other, revealing a slightly disdainful look.

"I have a big secret to tell you, Emperor Ming." Hai Lanzhu saw the other party's frivolity, and threw the bait hard, "But I only told him one person." ”

Hu Dawei laughed, and his companions also laughed. It's naïve, it's a big secret, will it be rare to hear it? Such an obvious lie may not be successful in deceiving children.

"I, my name is Bumu Butai, and I also have a big secret to tell the emperor." Bumu Butai broke free of Darhan's obstruction and hurried over, staring at his sister with wide eyes.

Nuke rolled his eyes, there was something wrong with these two people, but they could implicate themselves, and they caught up with the Ming Emperor to meet him, so he still had to explain it.

"General Tiger." Nuuk arched his hand and said, "I met them in Quang Ninh, you know. ”

Hu Dawei waved his hand and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, don't worry." ”

After a pause, he spoke, "Since they have been sent to the door, they can't be let out." Let the forbidden army take care of it for the time being, let's enter the palace first to meet us, and we can't delay the time. ”

Nuke hurriedly bowed down and said, "It's all up to the general." ”

"When you enter the palace, you have to tell the emperor that I really have a big secret." Hai Lanzhu was anxious to emphasize, but it attracted another burst of laughter.

Hu Dawei did not entangle, dismounted and walked with everyone, and asked the forbidden army to take care of Hai Lanzhu and Bumu Butai in front of the noon gate, and they entered the palace to meet them.

The emperor summoned Hu Dawei and others into the palace, firstly, to express to Nuuk and Ombu, and to win over the Inner Khalkha tribes. Ombu is the grandson of the leader of the Inner Khalkha Union, Zorik Tuhumba Tulu, and has a higher status than Nuuk.

In fact, this is just a superficial envelope, and the emperor is most concerned about the first use of cavalry wall tactics. Was it a tactical role to be able to defeat Amin's troops, or was there another reason.

Although Hu Dawei and the others should have made a detailed report to the Ministry of Martial Arts and the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Martial Arts and the Ministry of War will also sort out and report. However, Zhu Youxiao still wanted to hear the accounts of those who witnessed them with his own ears, and put forward the issues that he thought were to the point.

In the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao received a visit from Embu and Nuke, comforted him with warm words, and praised the two young Mongols.

Through the performance of hard work, the Zalut Department has been assigned to the side of more loyal allies in Zhu Youxiao's heart.

As for the Ombu of the Uziyat Division, as well as the current leader of the Uziyat Department and the leader of the Inner Khalkha Alliance, Zhuolik Tuhun Baturu, Zhu Youxiao thinks that this old fox is reserving a way back.

Huduntu's intention to expand eastward is becoming more and more obvious, and the Inner Khalkha tribes are likely to become the next target. Zorik Tuhong had already seen that the future of the dependent Houjin was bleak, and he could only move closer to the Ming court in the hope of gaining refuge.

And this is also the purpose of Zhu Youxiao to dispatch troops and cooperate with Hudun Rabbit to crusade against the Horqin Department.

Without a huge deterrence, under the persecution of Huduntu's mad cow disease, how could they cut off the idea of the Mongolian tribes to take refuge in Houjin?

The lesson of history is very profound, the Ming court relied too much on Lin Dan Khan as an ally, and did not have the strength to intervene in the civil war of the Mongol tribes, which led to many Mongolian tribes relying on the Later Jin, and the strength of the Later Jin was strengthened in vain.

Well, now, the fall of the Horqin tribe is the best warning, and it will be seen which tribe has not yet seen long.

Reception, comfort, reward, a set of processes did not take a long time.

Zhu Youxiao also has a purpose, which is to let the young Mongolian generation see the outside world, see the treasures of the Ming Dynasty, and make them admire.

The impact is gradual and subtle. This is similar to treating the toast, starting with its descendants, or setting up a school, or inviting them to the Beijing face saint, always to make them have a sense of awe or submission.

After Ombu and Nuke retreated, Zhu Youxiao summoned Hu Dawei and others into the palace, and after commending and encouraging them, he was anxious to listen to the report and repeat the actual battle on the sand table.

“…… Attacking the slightly loose cavalry of Jiannu, the casualties of the first platoon of our army were the greatest, the second platoon was greatly reduced, and the losses of the third platoon and the fourth platoon were negligible. ”

“…… An overly dense charge is often the result of a collision with the loss of our troops, because there is no way to avoid it......"

Zhu Youxiao listened carefully, raised his hand at the right time, stopped Hu Dawei's explanation, and asked: "If the formation is not dense, wouldn't it be difficult to form an advantage of fighting more and fighting less?" ”

Hu Dawei bowed and said: "If the interval is appropriate, there is no problem in forming two to one and three to one." Weichen thinks that it may be possible to adjust between half a horse's body or a horse's body. ”

Zhu Youxiao did not make a light judgment, although this was the actual combat perception of the generals, but it was better to hand it over to the Jingying flying cavalry for drills and then draw conclusions.

"The Horqin Department has been destroyed, and through its land, attack the Jiannu occupation area, is it possible?" Zhu Youxiao changed the topic and began to look for more breakthrough points for next year's winter and spring counteroffensive.

Hu Dawei thought for a while and replied: "Attacking Jiannu through the Liaohe Loop, Weichen thinks it is feasible. It would be even better if the Mongol tribes came to the aid of the war. ”

"What is the strength of the Inner Khalkha Union?" Zhu Youxiao smiled and continued to ask: "Let's use the combat power of the Zalut Department as a reference!" ”

Hu Dawei showed a slight lightness and said: "If you fight face-to-face with Jiannu, even if the strength is twice that of Jiannu, Weichen thinks that the Mongolian army will be defeated. ”

So unbearable? No wonder Amin dared to lead 5,000 elite cavalry to fight against tens of thousands of Mongol coalition troops, if it wasn't for ignoring the Ming army, there should be no problem in winning.

In this case, relying only on the forces of the Inner Khalkha Alliance, it may be very effective to attack Jiannu. It is still necessary for the Ming army to send troops in order to play a leading and supervising role.

Seeing that the emperor was silent, Hu Dawei lowered his eyes and hesitated for a long time before bowing down and playing: "When Weichen just entered the palace, someone blocked the way outside the palace, and he reported that he was the daughter of the Horqin Tribe's Zaisang Buhe, named Hailanzhu ......."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Hu Dawei in a little surprise and listened to him tell the story just now.

"The prisoners of the Horqin Department will arrive soon, and these two women can be disposed of with the captives." Hu Dawei didn't know what the emperor was going to do, and he said it in a more general way.

Hai Lanzhu? Bumu Butai?!

Zhu Youxiao's frowning brows were displayed, as if he was smiling, and his expression was a little weird.

These two wives who are not Huang Taiji's big and small wives were all caught. To be precise, it was these two guys who threw themselves into the net.

At this moment, Huang Taiji wants to have these two wives again. What filial piety, what concubine, there will be no such name in history, and there will be no record in the history books.

As for how to deal with these two reckless and impulsive, even somewhat ridiculous Mongolian women, Zhu Youxiao's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the imperial chair, weighing and thinking.

It's a pity that they are just two girls, not Huang Taiji's wife, so they can't use the topic to play and give Huang Taiji a blow.

Since there is no plan to kill all the prisoners of the Horqin Division, it doesn't hurt to keep these two girls. As for what big secret, who to coax?
