Chapter 2244 call the shots
Turuborot is still sending people to find his father's whereabouts, but he is not trying to join him, but is afraid that he will encounter his father's troops in the direction of his escape. If he is caught by Batumonk, he cannot explain it. If he can avoid meetings, try to avoid them. In addition, if he finds that Batumonk is seriously injured, he can openly incorporate the remaining troops of the Khan tribe and strengthen himself.
However, just as Tuluborot swayed left and right and did not finally make up his mind to move westward, something happened that made him very upset.
A Wulu escaped.
"How do you guard the people? Didn't you ask you to keep her tent?" Turuborot was furious when he heard the news and even had the urge to kill.
The guards in charge of guarding A Wulu seemed very unfair: "Big Prince, that woman is very cunning. The water we drank was filled with sweat pills. More than a dozen soldiers fainted. Someone prepared horses for her. When we woke up, the people were gone... I heard that many people ran away with her this time. As for how she bewitched people, we don't know."
Tuluborot then realized that it might be that he had shown the intention of moving west in front of the generals before, which made some people in the army dissatisfied with him, so A Wulu found an opportunity to lead some people to escape.
A general next to him suggested: "The great prince, Zhao Zhi has only been away for one night. If we go to chase him, it should be easy to catch up."
"This time she was prepared, and the direction of escape was unclear, so she might not be able to catch up, and so what if she caught up? Do you kill her? What's the point of doing this?"
Tuluborot did not have the idea of pursuing Awulu. Although he was very angry, he was just angry and letting the woman escape. However, if he thought about it carefully, it would be a big problem whether Awulu would come up with advice.
The greatest significance of A Wulu's existence is to help him achieve hegemony, but now Shen Xi seems to intend to dethrone and establish a decree on the grassland. Many tribes surrendered, and the Dayan tribe became yesterday's yellow flowers in a blink of an eye. It is no longer realistic to think that the grassland will dominate. A Wulu has basically no value for him.
However, from this matter, Tuluborot felt a great crisis because his subordinates had begun to betray him and had to make decisions as soon as possible.
Tuluborot looked at the group of generals in front of him and asked, "Do you want to go west with me or go to Mobei to find Khan? Or hit the stone with eggs and fight with Shen Xi at the place of the deliberation platform?"
This question is very direct and expresses everyone's thoughts.
A general looked around and stepped forward and bowed: "We are willing to obey the orders of the eldest prince."
Tuluborot shook his head and said, "You don't have to cater to my ideas. I would rather act according to the opinions of most people. If you want to fight Shen Xi or find Da Khan, then capture Awulu and ask her to help with military operations. Otherwise... let this woman die on her own!"
None of the generals present said that, obviously very few people agreed to the westward migration, which seemed more like a cowardly act.
At this time, one person stepped out and lowered his head and said, "Big Prince, why don't we go to Mobei to find the Khan and ask the Khan to order the troops? We have the ability to fight back. No matter how powerful Shen Xi is, he will be stationed on our territory. As long as the plan is done properly, it may not be possible to avenge the defeat of the main force of the tribe before!"
This man didn't know what fear was, and he said what many people wanted to say but dared not say at the scene. The others looked at Tuluborot's dark face and did not dare to express their voices to echo.
Tuluborot looked around with a stern face and asked, "You think so too?"
Still no one answered.
Finally, Tuluborot shook his head and sighed: "The westward migration is the best choice I came up with after thinking hard... If we go to war with the powerful Ming army now, maybe there may not be even one soldier and one soldier left, and even the Khan fled far away to Mobei. He dared not fight head-on with the Ming army, how can we die? You bewitch everyone to fight to the death, it is obviously because of ulterior motives... Come on, drag him down and beat fifty military sticks!"
Before, Tuluborot said that someone would give me some advice, but he turned his back on him in a blink of an eye, and the others were even more silent.
Tuluborot didn't think anything was wrong with his rebellion. He looked at the generals in front of him again and asked, "Do you have any other ideas?"
What greeted him was still silent.
Tuluborot said: "Since you are not against it, then we will set out to head west early tomorrow morning... I promise to you that when you arrive in the west, all the people, animals, cattle and sheep that you robbed along the way will belong to you. This is my reward for you. As for your wives, children, and young people who stay in the Khan tribe, as long as we can grow, we will eventually meet again in the future... Why do real men have no wives?"
Although Turuborot tried to boost morale in the army, no one took the order because his words were really inhumane. Unless those who were not married, they all felt that moving west was to give up the glory and wealth in front of them, and to work hard again in the wilderness, not to say anything about their future, and they still didn't know what their future was. The psychological gap was very large.
Only Tuluborot seemed to highly respect this kind of arduous behavior, as if he was not afraid of any trouble when he went to the West, nor was he afraid of not having enough livestock there and the people who would support them.
"This is for your own good."
Tuluborot finally summarized, "Shen Xi cannot stay on the grassland for more than a year, right? Even if we want to kill back, we have to wait until Shen Xi withdraws the troops before saying... I promise you that as long as you find a place to stay in the west, I will send scouts to pay attention to the turbulence on the grassland here. As long as you catch the opportunity, you will kill back and return your wife and children to you!"
This analysis is reasonable and well-founded. Finally, someone was willing to obey Tuluborot's call and shouted: "We are willing to obey the orders of the great prince and preserve our strength. We will definitely make a comeback!"
...
...
After Awulu escaped from the camp, he did not go east directly.
She was very smart and knew that Turuborot might send troops to pursue her, so she simply went north first, escaped a hundred miles in one breath, crossed the top of Yinshan Mountain, and turned east when she reached the northern foothills, and tried to walk along the hillside far away from the river bank, leaving no clues along the way.
A Wulu only has more than twenty horses on hand, and she used her means to buy these people again.
She received the support of a Wanhu, a Khan tribe. Almost all the soldiers and horses under her command were left in the Yuxi River. Because she met with Tuluborot halfway, Tuluborot did not trust this hereditary noble who had a certain reputation in the Khan tribe.
A Wulu saw the opportunity, expressed his attitude towards the person, gained trust, and found another opportunity to help him escape from the Tuluborot camp.
"Zhao Envoy, we probably only know that the Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses were in the deliberation platform for the first generation, how could they find them?" The Wanhu was very nervous. First of all, it was because this person had a great influence in the Khan tribe. Although there were only a few soldiers and horses around him now, he could be replenished immediately after returning to the tribe.
A Wulu said that as long as they find the Ming army camp, they can find the various tribes of the Khan tribes held by the Ming army. No matter how bad their lives are, they will be better than going to the west to eat sand. A Wulu even said that as long as they take the initiative to surrender, Chen Xi will let A Wulu's son be a khan, and Wanhu, who has a high status in the Khan tribe, have a great chance of being ordered to be a national teacher.
Of course, this is just A Wulu's wishful thinking, but for a drowning person, he will try to catch even if there is a straw, not to mention that he has a chance to succeed in this matter.
On the northern foot of Yin Mountain, at the half slope of Maya Mountain.
A Wulu fell off the horse's back. At this time, she was extremely tired. After escaping for a day and two nights, she almost broke up. She barely supported herself and sat up, pointing to the mountains in the east and said:
"Walking eastward by five or six hundred miles along the valley, we should be able to reach... Wherever Chenxi is, our khan house is where. It is early autumn, and the grass is plump, and the herdsmen should be concentrated in the Hetao and Chahar grassland areas to allow cattle, sheep and horses to eat and drink, and prepare enough grass for winter. The pastures in the east, including the grasslands around Helin, are probably occupied by the Urianha people who took advantage of the situation."
"With the help of the Ming Dynasty, we should be able to take it back, right?" Wanhu asked naively.
Awulu sneered: "The Urian Ha people have always had a good relationship with the Ming court. This time, Chen Xi led troops to station in the deliberation platform area. At first glance, they wanted to control the grassland order. They would inevitably say hello to the Urian Ha people, and the Urian Ha people would definitely choose to support him! Why do you think Chen Xi would give up Urian Ha and other forces who had already had acquaintances with the Ming Dynasty and choose to support our Dayan tribe?"
Wanhu was confused and was stunned when Awulu asked.
A Wulu said: "Don't worry, as long as you find Chen Xi, I will find a way to make you a national teacher... Please believe me, but on the way to the deliberation table, neither you nor your subordinates can violate me, otherwise our agreement will be invalid!"
When Awulu looked at the group of Tatar soldiers around him, there was a feeling of resentment on his face, because these people had deep hatred in their hearts and did not want to surrender to the Chenxi River. It was just that Wanhu was their patriarch and forced them to the "traitor".
A Wulu is a woman with no power. In the minds of these Tatar soldiers, things must be rewarded. What A Wulu promises is too nonsense and difficult to achieve. Since this is the case, it is better to sleep or kill A Wulu halfway, and you can turn back to Tuluborot or Batumonk.
Wanhu glanced at the Tatars around him and said, "Zhao Envoy, don't be afraid. These are the warriors of my tribe. They dare not violate my orders. I said that I would take you to see the invincible Marshal Shen of the Ming Dynasty, and that I could do it. If they were disobedient, they would be against Changshengtian and would not die in burial!"
A Qianhu, who was leading the team next to him, protested dissatisfiedly: "What kind of envoy is she? She has been deposed by the Khan for a long time and actually surrendered to Yi Simayin, the traitor, is just a slut with no eyesight!"
"Who are you scolding?"
A Wulu was furious and looked coldly at him.
The man flattered his mouth: "You have done something shameful by yourself, but you are not allowed to say it? You are deceiving us with sweet words now. Maybe when you see the Ming Dynasty people, you will instigate the Ming Dynasty people to kill us... Do you think we don't know the evil tricks in your heart?"
Wanhu shouted sternly: "Cha Muhe, don't be rude to Zhao Jun!"
The Qianhu, named Chamuhe and other Tatar soldiers all looked disappointed, but because everyone's interests are now tied together, when Wanhu speaks, they no longer say anything.
Wanhu said to Awulu with apologies: "Envoy Zhao, please forgive them. They have suffered consecutive defeats and are powerless to see their companions die. So they want to seek revenge instead of surrendering... But now the Ming Dynasty is in great power, so we can only temporarily put aside our revenge and bow to the Ming Dynasty. When they develop and grow again in the future, we will take back what the Ming Dynasty owes us."
A Wulu didn't dare to care too much. After all, these people can kill her at any time now, and even before killing her, they can humiliate and torture her in all kinds of ways.
A Wulu shouted sternly: "You are the parties involved. You should understand the terribleness of Shen Xi and the troops he commanded. No matter how many people there are, it is not enough for him to kill them. Now, for the time being, I think that snakes are the best way to save lives!"
"Only by lying on firewood and tasting gall can you have a chance to rise again. Now you have your companions and even your relatives have died in battle on the battlefield. But your parents, sisters and even children are still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. Do you want the young and old in your family to be bullied by the Ming Dynasty?"
"Only when you surrender, the Ming Dynasty will return your family to you. Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty will not only ruin your wives and daughters, but also reward them to the lowly races of small and medium-sized tribes. At that time, your wives and daughters will be slaves and abused."
Wanhu smiled bitterly and said, "Zhao Envoy, you don't have to say anything. In fact, they can understand it. Just now, they were just complaining. We hurry up and look for people from the Ming Dynasty. We are willing to believe your judgment of the current situation and lead everyone to find a way out."
...
...
Shen Xi gained a foothold in the heart of the grassland and began to send troops to accept the Tatar tribes.
Previously, the Dayan tribe had the strength of its entire tribe to fight with the Ming army, which made the internal empty, but they had to beware of the small and medium-sized tribes uniting to cause chaos, so they left some people to guard, especially the wives and children of the tribe heads, including Batumonk, were still in the camp.
With the small and medium-sized tribes leading the way, Shen Xi easily found the Khan Army camp and basically took the whole pot without encountering decent resistance.
These nobles who left behind tribes had long known Shen Xi's reputation. Now even the elite commanded by Dayan Khan have failed. Even if they have little chance of resistance, they simply declined... These people understand that they should not use the women, children, elderly and weak in the entire tribe as bargaining chips.
With small and medium-sized tribes acting as the leader, even the arrogant and arrogant tribes that constitute the main body of the Dayan tribe had to choose to sell themselves, including the entire Khan Center and the civil and military officials who helped Batumuk maintain the rule of the grassland.
Unfortunately, the loyalty of these people made Shen Xi stayed highly vigilant. He immediately disarmed the major tribes and split the armed forces of the Dayan tribe, mixed them with Yongshebu, Tumot, and Uryanha people, and then sent the Ming army to lead the troops to prevent these people from making trouble behind their backs.
Until July 20, the Tatar tribes within a radius of thousands of miles basically chose to surrender, and the troops of all tribes were gathering in the ninety-nine-quan area.
Chen Xi did not send troops to fight for the expedition, mainly by leveraging the forces and sent dependent tribal coalition forces to take over. However, he strictly ordered that no invasion of women, children, elderly and weak tribes in various tribes, and everything went smoothly.
By July 23, all the people had basically gathered together, and the grasslands around Guanshan became the base camp for various tribes to live together. Nearly 100,000 men, women, young and old gathered together, but the males were less than 10,000, and they were almost all the elderly, weak, women and children.
After the continuous unification war between the Dayan tribe and the previous tragic battle of the Yuxi River, there was a serious situation of yin and yang decline on the grassland, which was destined to have to rest and recuperate in the next few decades before slowly recovering.
However, because the tribes such as Batumonk and Turuborot, and Balesborot were not wiped out, Chen Xi could not be completely careless.
After the tribes gathered together, it was also a potential crisis for Chen Xi's tribe. Chen Xi must beware of these people joining together to fight against him, and his way of dealing with it was to divide and disintegrate. Although the people gathered in the deliberation platform were basically from the Dayan tribe, the main tribe of the Dayan tribe and the small and medium-sized tribes below had deep conflicts. Chen Xi grabbed one to oppose the other, causing many suspicions within it, thus diverting the contradictions.
"......... So many Tartars would be better to kill them all at once, and then they would be wiped out in the future, or simply escort them to the pass and auction them publicly in exchange for money!"
At the military meeting held in the Ming army camp, several generals had serious nationalist tendencies and their tolerance for the Tatar tribes was rapidly decreasing.
The eyes of a group of people were shining.
Perhaps the Central Plains dynasty has been invaded by foreign barbarians for thousands of years, which has made the Central Plains people unforgettable for their hatred for foreign tribes, which has also led to the current Ming soldiers who want to repay their grudges with grudges.
Chen Xi shouted and said, "Killing cannot solve the problem. If you kill all the people in front of you, the Obaro people in the north and even the west will move here to fill the gap. After decades, there will be many troubles in the border areas. It is better to formulate a rule to let the grassland people abide by it and at the same time help the Ming Dynasty resist foreign invasions..."
Seeing many generals showing disapproving expressions on their faces, Chen Xi waved his hand, "This topic is temporarily stopped, everything depends on what Your Majesty's imperial order will say."
During this period, Chen Xi had been waiting for the imperial decree of the court, but since he led his troops into the surrounding areas of Guanshan, the transmission of news was in a stagnant state. The Kuaima Chuanyi could not be as smooth as the Central Plains. According to Chen Xi, Zhu Houzhao's imperial decree should have been transmitted on July 20, but it was still unreleased for three days.
He could make his own decisions, but as a minister, he is now leading troops alone on the grassland, so he has to consider the views of the people in the court. He wants to prevent Zhu Houzhao from deepening his suspicion of him, so he can only make some compromises temporarily and wait for Zhu Houzhao's decree to be delivered.
Hu Songyue said: "Sir, there are so many Tartars around Guanshan Acropolis. Even if they are separated from each other, people gather to cause trouble every day. Why not kill some Tartars who act extreme, such as those arrogant princes of the Dayan tribe, arrest one to deal with the other, kill the chicken and scare the monkey?"
It was originally a ridiculous suggestion, but the generals present applauded it, and seemed to agree with Hu Songyue's view.
If you cannot kill Batumonk to vent your anger, then kill his son to shock the tribal people gathered around Guanshan.
Liu Xu next to him also wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chen Xi, "No matter what your purpose is, at least you have to maintain the status quo, and things have not yet reached the point of killing them all... We are in the heart of the grassland. If we encounter resistance, we can eliminate them without any scruples, but if the other party has surrendered, we cannot kill easily. Even if we are against the barbarians, we must retain basic respect. We must intimidate them with the might of the Celestial Kingdom, instead of relying on killing and intimidation. You just need to keep the camp."
Chen Xi once again emphasized military rules and regulations, which forced some people who wanted to vent their anger through killing and venting their anger.
