Chapter 124: The Dark Tide is Surging
Qin Liu only drools over the Baiyun Obo mining area.
Compared with the giant whale of Baiyun Obo, Duolun is a small shrimp.
Fortunately, this little shrimp can give her and Bars a good life.
Qin Liu swallowed his saliva and suppressed the greed in his heart - he didn't want much, he could live a dull and happy life with Bars in Duolun, and raise a few children, it would be enough in this life.
Her Bals, the one and only Bals.
the tall, emaciated but infinitely attractive boy; the boy who can not only hold the soles of her shoes for her by her side, but also indifferently slash dozens of people; The boy who wants to eat her alive, but can restrain his desires and play the role of a docile little sheep in front of her.
She missed him so much.
If she can return to Duolun safely, she must cherish every minute and second of the two of them and leave no regrets.
The Hetao refers to the bend of the Yellow River and its surrounding watersheds.
The Hetao Plain is generally divided into the Yinchuan Plain between Qingtongxia and Shizuishan in Ningxia, also known as the "West Loop", and the "East Loop" in the Inner Mongolia part.
Sometimes the term "Hetao Plain" is used to refer only to the East Loop, alongside the Yinchuan Plain.
The east set is divided into the Bayannur Plain between Bayan Gaole and Xishanzui, also known as the "back set", and the "front set" of the Tumochuan Plain (i.e., the Elechuan) between Baotou, Hohhot and Lamawan. Sometimes the Hetao Plain is called the Hetao-Tumochuan Plain.
Since ancient times, there has been a proverb: "The Yellow River is harmful, only one set of wealth", the so-called set refers to the East set.
Hetao area, the terrain is flat, the soil is fertile, but the precipitation is scarce, so far since the Qin and Han dynasties, the residents have dug ditches here, diverted the Yellow River water for irrigation, agriculture is very developed, known as "plugging the south of the Yangtze River", "plugging the granary" said.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, many times to the Hetao area to carry out military operations, although the Mongols settled here, planting, but can not live in peace, many times by the Ming army to the ground.
Today, Genghis Khan's Mausoleum, the Eight White Chambers, is located on the Hetao Plain, indicating that this was the de facto control area of Mongolia at this time.
……
Qin Liu arrived at his destination before the first day of December, and also met Urus, now Abahai Jinong.
Urus warmly hosted a banquet for Qin Liu, and was not surprised by her request to find Bars and bring the two children back to Duolun.
He raised his glass to invite Qin Liu, and said enthusiastically: "Bars is really a blessing!" In such a cold and snowy place, there are women who come all the way to find him regardless of the danger! Come, Benjinon admires a woman like you, please drink this cup to the fullest! ”
Qin Liu couldn't resist Urus's hospitality, and after drinking the wine in the cup, he still persevered and asked, "Have you seen Bars recently?" ”
Urus glanced at her meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Benjinon will definitely give you back an unharmed Bars." When you get married, don't forget to send me an invitation, I must go for a wedding drink! ”
Qin Liu had some tears in his eyes.
It was the first time she had heard the Golden Family approve of her marriage to Bars.
Qin Liu felt very honored to be recognized by Urus.
After she calmed down, she pondered Urus's words carefully, and some understood.
It seems that Urus knew where Bars had gone. Or was Bars sent by Urus to do something in secret?
Qin Liu had a bad thought in his heart.
Zhu Yue's words instantly came to his heart.
"You don't go to the right wing, it's too dangerous there now."
Is Bars doing something dangerous?
Qin Liu's face turned pale and stared at Urus in a daze.
Urus was not offended, but said kindly: "Tomorrow is the day of the great assembly, and Benjinon is going to pay homage to the tomb of Genghis Khan." You're a woman, you can't go into the Eight Hundred Rooms, just wait outside, and you'll see Bars then." ”
Qin Liu was skeptical.
However, Urus said sincerely, it didn't seem to be a fake, and Qin Liu had no other way but to wait until tomorrow's big gathering to see the situation.
When he was resting at night, Qin Liu instructed his ten guards to prepare enough food and water, and be ready to run away at any time.
The next day, it was dawning, and Qin Liu and the others were waiting outside the Eighth White House.
The Eight White Palaces are the eight white palace tents dedicated to Genghis Khan, his dependents and holy relics.
Outside the tent there is a ring of guardrails and a magnificent gate. The gate was guarded by guards, and only those who had permission were allowed to enter the gate to worship Genghis Khan.
Waves of people rode over, the fresh snow on the ground was trampled into dirty snow by the horses' hooves, and the smell of horse dung and horse urine was pungent.
Tribal leaders, large and small, were surrounded by people and waited outside the gate of the Eighth White House.
Many lords complained about the cold weather while stomping their feet, and the sacrifices were too exciting, and the people were angry.
Qin Liu finally understood what Zhu Yue meant by danger.
It can be seen from the disdainful tone of those big and small lords when they mentioned the Golden Family, Dayan Khan, and Jinong, that Abahai Jinong, who suddenly parachuted to the right flank, was very unpopular.
The right-wing lords who were already dissatisfied with the Khan's court have been tossed many times by Urus recently, and they have reached the critical point of breaking out.
Today's Genghis Khan Mausoleum sacrifice, if it is not handled well, it will cause a great disaster.
Qin Liu swallowed nervously and looked in the direction of Urus's residence. In the distance, there was a white expanse, and nothing could be seen.
On such a big day, why did he hold on so big and let so many lords wait for him in the ice and snow?
Urus had just come to the right wing, and it was time to win the hearts and minds of the people, how could this be?
Besides, why hasn't Bals shown up yet?
Uleji introduced to Qin Liu on the side: "Over there is Yong Xie Bu's Taishi, and that is the Taishi of the Ordos Department. ”
Uleji frowned, stared at a middle-aged Mongolian man in the distance who looked furious, and said, "Strange, this Chiheba beast is a small lord subordinate to the fire sieve, and has always followed the fire sieve to serve the Han court, why is it so abnormal today?" ”
Qin Liu had a bad feeling in her heart, she was half-convinced, but she still asked.
"You're saying that this Chiheba is a member of Dayan Khan?"
Ulji said hesitantly, "It should be."
In those years, the fire sieve east to Liaodong and west to Ningxia fought countless battles, and this Chiheba beast has always been the bravest vanguard, and has made great contributions to Dayan Khan's control of the left wing and the subjugation of the lords of the right wing.
How could he publicly curse Dayan Khan and Abahaijinong, who had just arrived in office?
Isn't this provoking the right-wing lords to rebel against the Khan's court? ”
Qin Liu frowned: "The right wing is so dissatisfied with the Khan Court, why didn't Dayan Khan care before?" ”
"How?
They are all steppe tribes, and if you want to completely submit the right-wing lords with different surnames, you have to fight and speak with your fists.
But those lords on the left have long been tired of fighting around. If you lose your army, your property is all people's, and if you win, you have to listen to Dayan Khan's orders to distribute your property and pastures.
It's better to preserve your strength like now. ”
It seems that Dayan Khan had to attack the right flank before and there was no mass base.
Batu sneered disdainfully, "It's useless for the Yiheba beast to jump again. Unless the right-wing forces get mad and kill Abahaijinon and his 1,000 guards! ”
Qin Liu was curious: "Why do you say that?" ”
Batu said a few words, but Qin Liu didn't hear them clearly, because a loud sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and everyone's shouting was getting louder and louder.
