Chapter 234 The Ministry of the Pot is willing to surrender, please forgive me! 【order】
Yang Yiqing nodded slightly and said: "This is a wonderful move, but I just want to hide the inside of the pot, or reduce the vigilance of the inside of the pot, I am afraid that the core personnel of the Tang family will need to come forward."
Speaking of which, Yang Yiqing couldn't help but glanced at Li Huan. Now it can be said that all of Tang's family has been captured by Jin Yiwei, and even relatives have been imprisoned.
According to Li Huan's intention, as long as the interrogation is over, the members of the Tang family should be killed. You must know that Li Huan is an imperial envoy, and he has the right to kill first and then report.
Now Li Huan obviously needs the cooperation of the Tang family, especially those who can get in touch with the Tatars and gain the trust of the Tatars. Only a few senior members of the Tang family have such qualifications.
Li Huan made it clear that he wanted to exterminate the Tang family. In this case, although Yang Yiqing thought Li Huan's idea was good, he was not very optimistic that Li Huan could persuade the core members of the Tang family to cooperate with them in dealing with the Tatars. people.
Li Huan obviously understood what Yang Yiqing wanted to express.
With a slight smile, Li Huan said indifferently: "Among the members of the Tang family, not all of them are devoid of conscience, and there are still a very small number of people who retain a trace of conscience. Although they should be killed, But it may not be impossible to convince the other party."
The person Li Huan mentioned was none other than the ninth master of the Tang family, Tang Dingwei.
According to what Yue Buqun and Han Le said, Tang Dingwei should be regarded as the one with the most bottom line and conscience among the core clan elders of the Tang family.The more important point is that although Tang Dingwei is said to be the core of the Tang family, it is only because of his ancestral lineage that his own abilities are very average and he has no independent opinions. I have opinions on some of the actions of the Tang family, and I seldom insist on opposing them.
All Li Huan thought about was whether he could persuade the ninth master of the Tang family to cooperate with them.
Yang Yiqing stroked his beard and nodded slowly: "If you can really persuade an elder from the core clan of the Tang family to cooperate, the old man can be almost [-]% sure of this action against the inside of the pot."
Not long after, a person was brought over.
The person who came was none other than the ninth master of the Tang family, Tang Dingwei.
Tang Dingwei looked extremely embarrassed at this time. He was wearing a prison uniform and his hair looked messy, but he looked just a little embarrassed, but he didn't suffer any injuries.
Seeing this, Li Huan looked at Tang Dingwei in surprise, but Yue Buqun at the side explained, "My lord, after Tang Dingwei was arrested, he was very cooperative and explained everything."
When Li Huan heard the words, he immediately understood that the relationship was due to Tang Dingwei's cooperation with Jin Yiwei's interrogation.
The purpose of Jin Yiwei's torture is to interrogate people and obtain useful information. If the subject of the interrogation is very cooperative, there is no need to torture, right?
Tang Dingwei's face was full of despair, he walked into the hall, saw Li Huan and Yang Yiqing, stepped forward to bow to them and said: "The criminal Tang Dingwei, I pay my respects to the imperial envoy and the governor. .”
Li Huan looked down at Tang Dingwei condescendingly, and said with a bit of coldness in his eyes: "Tang Dingwei, what you have done in the Tang family can be described as devoid of conscience, are you guilty?"
Tang Dingwei sighed softly and said: "The sinners know their crimes, the sinners have known for a long time, what the Tang family has done in these years will sooner or later bring disasters to the Tang family, but the clan brothers and the patriarchs simply don't listen. My persuasion, now that Tang Shi has ended up like this, he deserves what he deserves..."
Talking about it, Tang Dingwei sighed, "It's a pity that my Suide Tang clan is extinct."
Yang Yiqing couldn't help but looked at Tang Dingwei in surprise, as if he didn't expect Tang Dingwei to say such a thing.
But it's normal to think about it. The Tang family has a big business, and there are at least hundreds of people in the clan. It is obviously impossible to say that everyone is a person with no conscience. Strange thing.
Li Huan raised his brows when he heard the words, looked at Tang Dingwei and said suddenly: "Tang Dingwei, you also know that the Tang family colluded with the Tatars to plunder the court's relief food, so that tens of thousands of people in Suide starved to death. They are all evil debts created by the Tang family."
Tang Dingwei's eyes were full of sadness and said: "Tang family has nothing to say about this crime. Even if the imperial envoy wants to kill my Tang family, Tang family deserves what he deserves."
Li Huan looked at Tang Dingwei and said: "Your Tang family is indeed worthy of death, but shouldn't the Tatars in the pot deserve to die? If it weren't for them, it would be impossible for so many people to die tragically. Your Tang family It’s gone, but the Tatars in the jug can live in peace on the grassland.”
Tang Dingwei was not a fool either. Hearing Li Huan's words, he suddenly raised his head to look at Li Huan and said, "My lord, do you have anything to say to the criminals?"
Li Huan said indifferently: "Do you want to atone for your Tang family?"
Tang Dingwei was taken aback for a moment, then realized, looked at Li Huan and said, "What does your lord want Cao Min to do?"
A stern look flashed in Li Huan's eyes and said: "I hope that Tang Dingwei can help me slaughter the inside of the pot."
Tang Dingwei couldn't help turning pale when he heard the words, he looked at Li Huan with a face full of horror, and then looked at Yang Yiqing who was sitting there.
Tang Dingwei is just short-tempered and has no opinion, but he is not a fool.
The meaning of Li Huan's words could not be clearer, which means that Li Huan wants to deal with Hu Libu.
Soon Tang Dingwei shook his head again and again and said: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. Aliha in the pot is not a fool. Even if I, Tang Shi, come forward, it is impossible to persuade the other party to enter the customs again and send him to death."
Obviously, from Tang Dingwei's point of view, Li Huan wanted their Tang family to come forward and invite Hu Libu to enter the customs. After all, their Tang family had done this before.
If it is really possible to trick the inner part of the pot into it, it goes without saying that the elite in the inner part of the pot can really be wiped out by doing mental calculations or unintentional calculations.
It's just that Tang Dingwei also knows that it is absolutely impossible for the people in the pot to enter the customs at this time. After all, the people in the pot are not stupid. It is impossible for the people in the pot to be fooled.
So Tang Dingwei felt that Li Huan was simply whimsical.
Li Huan shook his head slowly, looked at Tang Dingwei and said, "I am not asking you to move the inside of the pot to enter the customs. I also know that this is not realistic at all. As far as I know, after a few days, you Tang is about to make a deal with Hulibu."
Tang Dingwei looked at Li Huan and said, "My lord, do you mean that the imperial army will step out of the Great Wall and enter the grassland to deal with Hulibu?"
Li Huan saw Tang Dingwei's reaction in his eyes, and said with a chuckle, "What? Could it be that only the Tatars are allowed to invade our Central Plains, and my Ming soldiers are not allowed to step into the grassland?"
Tang Dingwei ignored Li Huan, but looked at Yang Yiqing, governor of the three sides.
Even though Da Ming still separates civil and military from the outside, anyone who is not a fool can see that now Da Ming is actually using civil to defend military.
So Tang Dingwei didn't believe the words of a young imperial envoy like Li Huan, he was more willing to believe the words of Yang Yiqing, the imperial censor of the right capital, the governor of Shaanxi, and the governor of the three sides.
Yang Yiqing clearly sensed Tang Dingwei's gaze, nodded solemnly and said to Tang Dingwei: "Yes, I have agreed with the imperial envoy to slaughter the pot in order to avenge the tens of thousands of people in Suide. "
Speaking of which, Yang Yiqing looked at Tang Dingwei and said, "This is your opportunity for Tang to forgive your sins, and it depends on whether you, Tang Dingwei, are willing to assist the court in dealing with the use of troops in the pot!"
Tang Dingwei pondered for a while, then slowly raised his head to look at Yang Yiqing and Li Huan and said, "It's not impossible for me to cooperate with the court, the criminals only have one request."
Li Huan said indifferently: "Speak!"
Tang Dingwei took a deep breath and prayed: "My Tang family deserves to die, all the males will be killed, and the female relatives will be sent to the Jiaofang Division. This is my Tang family's retribution, but... but the imperial envoy Your Excellency, Your Excellency Governor, can you leave me a root of the Tang family?"
Speaking of Tang Dingwei, he said in a trembling voice with a bit of excitement and expectation: "I have a grandson who was born just ten months ago, and he is just a baby. If the two adults can save his life, the criminals are willing to help the court to wipe out In the pot, forgive me, Mrs. Tang."
With a bang, Tang Dingwei kowtowed viciously to Li Huan and Yang Yiqing.
Li Huan couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, but at this time Yang Yiqing glanced at Tang Dingwei, pondered for a while, and then said to Li Huan: "Master Li, I think that Tang Dingwei can be given a chance. If you cooperate with the imperial court to wipe out the Hulibu, it will be considered a great achievement, and the imperial envoy can give his baby a way to survive afterwards."
Li Huan is still frowning. The crimes committed by the Tang family can be described as serious. They colluded with the Tatars, plundered the relief money and food, and tens of thousands of people died tragically. It's lighter.
Now that Tang Dingwei wanted to ask him to leave a bloodline for the Tang family, according to Li Huan's temperament, it was absolutely impossible to agree.
Just glanced at Tang Dingwei, Li Huan took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Okay, I can give you a chance, if you can really cooperate with the court to kill the inside of the pot, then I can make the decision. Save your grandson's life."
Tang Dingwei couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, with tears of excitement streaming from his eyes, he kowtowed to Yang Yiqing and said: "Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord."
Li Huan snorted coldly and said: "Remember, the premise is that you can assist the court to destroy the inside of the pot, otherwise..."
Tang Dingwei said with a firm expression on his face: "My lord, don't worry, the criminals have also dealt with those Tatars. This time, the criminals are responsible for the horse trade agreement with the Tatars. What an accident."
Li Huan snorted coldly and said, "I hope you won't disappoint me."
As he said that, Li Huan said to Yue Buqun who was beside him: "Yue Buqun, you will temporarily act as the accountant of the Tang family and follow Tang Dingwei to select a group of people to cooperate with Tang Dingwei."
Yue Buqun heard the words and said solemnly: "This subordinate obeys orders."
Watching Tang Dingwei and Yue Buqun leave, Li Huan looked at Yang Yiqing and said, "The matter of Governor Yang's deployment of troops is entirely up to the Governor."
Yang Yiqing stroked his beard, eyes flashed brightly and said: "Your Imperial Envoy, don't worry, the old man has already sent people to dispatch the elite cavalry from the three sides, and you will definitely not miss your business."
Suidezhou
With the county magistrate Ding Dechao being granted the authority to help the victims by Li Huan, coupled with the continuous confiscation of food, the situation of the victims outside the city is obviously good.
At the same time, Li Huan gave an order and raised the banner of recruiting troops.
You must know that there are still 10,000+ disaster victims outside the city of Suidezhou. Those who can persist until now, it can be said that except for a very small number of old and weak, almost half of them are young men and women, or some children, at least some of them are old. There are only a handful of old people.
Under the same conditions, Li Huan ordered the recruitment of [-] young and strong men in Suide Prefecture, and used the confiscated land, gold, silver, and grain as conditions for resettling these young and strong relatives.
In less than a day, even after several rounds of screening, five thousand young men were enough to be recruited. If it wasn't for Li Huan's consideration of maintaining some vitality for Suide Prefecture, he really let go of the recruitment, don't Say five thousand, even 2 people are easy.
Here, Li Huan, with the cooperation of Yang Yiqing, wantonly investigated the corruption of officials in Shaanxi Province, used the property of these officials to help the victims, and at the same time selected a group of officials who were relatively clean from among the local officials, and used these officials to preside over the government affairs of the party. , finally stabilized the situation in the whole of Shaanxi.
On this day, a group of people and horses appeared in front of the Great Wall that stretched for thousands of miles, and the one walking in the front was a caravan. There were hundreds of people in the caravan. for.
Tang Dingwei is wearing silk and satin, which looks very rich, while Yue Buqun is wearing green shirt, which looks very elegant.
And behind them are some trustworthy people selected in the past few days, most of them are almost from Jin Yiwei, and they are all dressed as servants.
The large carts were filled with sacks, and they seemed to be filled with all kinds of goods.
sanlangkou
San Langkou, who had already been replaced as a guard, now guards the gate, and Zong Zheng respectfully opens the gate and lets the convoy pass through.
The gatekeeper is definitely none other than the Corporal Shi Erlang who had escaped from Tang Ye's hands back then.
Shi Erlang was obviously valued. Not only was Shan Yue promoted to general manager, but he was also appointed to guard San Lang's mouth.
Shi Erlang had received the news before, and was even allowed to go out with the army to seek revenge on the Tatars in the pot.
Watching the caravan disguised as members of the Tang family leave, Shi Erlang soon heard the sound of the team coming.
Looking from a distance, it was black and dense, and it was impressive that a group of cavalry came slowly.
Needless to say, these cavalry were the three elites drawn by Yang Yiqing.
In addition to the cavalry selected from the Beijing camp that followed Li Huan, there were almost 6000 people in total.
Such a team does not seem to be many. After all, compared with the size of hundreds of thousands of troops every time when Daming went out to the grasslands outside the city, a mere few thousand people are not even considered vanguards.
But that also depends on the level of the opponent.
Back then, hundreds of thousands of troops were frequently mobilized, and Daming's opponent was the overlord of the entire grassland, the remnants of Meng Yuan, but now it was just for a mere grassland tribe.
Thousands of troops are dispatched, which is really worthy of the inner part of the pot. If so many troops are dispatched, they can't take the inner part of the pot, then we have to think about how powerful the nine side army is.
Riding on a war horse, Li Huan, dressed in armor, looked heroic, like a young general.
In contrast, Yang Yiqing's demeanor is obviously more mature and stable, and there is no way to do it, because Li Huan's age is there.
Yang Yiqing did not change into a suit of armor like Li Huan, but still wore the official uniform of a governor, keeping pace with Li Huan.
Shi Erlang looked at Li Huan, Yang Yiqing and the whole army who were coming, and immediately led more than a hundred soldiers guarding the pass to greet Li Huan and the others.
Li Huan looked at Shi Erlang and said with a smile: "Shi Erlang, leave some people to guard the pass, and the rest will go out with me."
Shi Erlang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said excitedly: "Thank you, my lord."
on the grassland
Although it is said that it has entered the end of autumn, there is not much green on the grassland, and as far as the eye can see, it is all yellow withered grass.
The severe drought in Shaanxi has actually affected the grasslands adjacent to Shaanxi to some extent, at least the grassland with lush water and grass occupied by Huli has been seriously affected.
It is obvious that the livestock originally kept in the pot could not continue to keep so many cattle, sheep and horses when it was obvious that the disaster had already occurred.
This is also one of the reasons why Hulibu would take the initiative to trade [-] good horses with Tang's. Otherwise, as long as he could afford so many good horses, Hulibu would not choose to trade with good horses.
Anyway, it is destined that a large number of livestock will starve to death due to the catastrophe. It is better to exchange some living supplies from the Tang family so that more clansmen can survive this cold winter.
If this was the case in previous years, if Hulibu could not cross the Great Wall and plunder Daming, they would inevitably suffer huge losses and injuries.
But this time, with the help of Tang's family, more than 1 stones of grain were forcibly looted in the pot. There is no problem for tens of thousands of people in the whole pot to spend this winter.
Just because they saw the hope of surviving, as Aliha, Sonnite and his son returned to the tribe with the warriors in the pot carrying tens of thousands of shi of grain, the whole pot was boiling.
Even the inside of the pot celebrated with songs and dances for several days, and the jubilant atmosphere finally faded a little.
A huge tent was quite conspicuous among the many tents, and this tent was the residence of Aliha, the head of Hulibu.
As a figure lifted the curtain and walked into the tent, a gust of cold wind hit, bringing in a bit of coolness.
Aliha, who was sitting in the tent drinking horse milk tea, looked up at the person and said, "Sonite, you are here!"
Sonit said to Aliha: "Abu, what's the matter with calling your son?"
Aliha motioned for Solnit to sit down and said, "Sonnit, for my father's previous agreement with the Tang family, we will make a deal with them tomorrow. I asked you to choose a batch of horses, have you selected them?"
Sonnette hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Abu, my son has selected a batch of bad horses, and all the ones left are good horses."
Aliha smiled and said: "That's right, although we have no choice but to trade the horse with the Tang family, it doesn't mean we have to trade the good horse to them."
Solnit smiled and said: "I heard that the Tang family will send us salt and iron, the Ming army's cotton armor and a batch of weapons this time?"
Aliha stroked his knotted beard like a Ming man, nodded slightly and said, "That's right, Abu, as I said this time, you can either trade grain or trade armor, Tang Family That one is the Commander of the Guards, and if he leaks any casually in his hand, it will be hundreds of thousands of soldiers."
Solnit said with a bit of excitement: "If this is the case, the warriors in my pot will be strong and strong. If they invade Daming again in the future, they will definitely look down upon them."
Aliha laughed and said: "So this transaction is very important. In the past few times, the Tang family only agreed to give us a dozen sets of armor, but this time there are hundreds of armors. Abu, I will personally bring them If someone goes to handover with the people from Tang’s family, you will stay and take care of Abu’s family.”
Hearing the words, Solnit showed some hesitation on his face and said: "Abu, can't you take your son with you? The Ming people will not dispatch an army to this grassland. What's the use of my son staying?"
Glancing at Solnit, Aliha said: "It is true that Ming people will not come to this prairie, but don't forget, what we are guarding against is not Ming people, but other tribes."
Solnit was taken aback for a moment, and said with a look of surprise on his face: "Abu, are you talking about the Black Sea tribe?"
The Black Sea tribe was adjacent to Hulibu, and because the tribe was slightly weaker than the Huli tribe, the most abundant grassland nearby fell into the hands of Hulibu.
In order to compete with Hulibu for grassland, the Black Sea Tribe and Hulibu had more than one or two conflicts.
Fortunately, the two sides were restrained. Although conflicts broke out frequently, due to the restraint of the head of ten thousand households, the two tribes did not really fight to the death.
But even so, there has been a long-standing grievance between the two parties. This catastrophe affected both the Huli Department and the Black Sea Department.
Because the Hulibu colluded with the Tang family and robbed tens of thousands of stones of grain, they had the confidence to survive the disaster year, but the Black Sea department was different.
Aliha knew very well that once the news spread that they had got a large amount of food in the pot, the Black Sea Department would definitely not be unresponsive when they received the news.
Because of their looting, the border town of Daming is already under martial law. Even if the Black Sea Department wants to follow their example, it may be difficult for the Ming army to successfully invade and pass under the high alert of the Ming army.
What's more, even if the real Kouguan is successful, I'm afraid the loss is too big for the Black Sea Department to bear.
In this case, it is very likely that the Black Sea Department will come to attack the inside of their pot.
Looking at Solnit, Aliha solemnly warned: "I'm going to trade with Tang Corporation, Solnit, you must take good care of my home."
Sony nodded.
After speaking, Aliha waved his hand at Solnit and said, "Go down."
Solnit retreated, Aliha stood up, and walked into a curtain in the tent.
Immediately, there was a woman's screaming and cursing from inside the curtain. Just listening to that voice and cursing words, it was clear that it was the Daming woman who had been robbed.
Dongshanling
This is a barren hill on the grassland. Because it is obviously much higher, it is called Dongshan Ridge.
At this moment, a caravan was slowly coming towards Dongshan Ridge, Tang Dingwei, who was sitting on the carriage, said to Yue Buqun, "Mr. Yue, this is Dongshan Ridge."
Looking at the barren hill in front of him, Yue Buqun was taken aback for a moment, and his face could not help showing a bit of astonishment.
Tang Dingwei also said earlier that the place of transaction agreed by both parties is Dongshanling.
In Yue Buqun's cognition, Dongshanling should be a mountain range, but he never thought that the so-called Dongshanling is just a barren hill.
If you are not familiar with the terrain on the grassland, or even know the place names, you may not be able to find this place even if you really know the trading location.
After all, how many people would regard the barren hill in front of them as a mountain?
As if seeing Yue Buqun's astonishment, Tang Dingwei explained: "Mr. Yue didn't know something, this barren hill didn't have any name at all, but later our Tang family made transactions with Huli Bu here several times, so we decided to Name this place Dongshan Ridge, it can be said that apart from the old people of our Tang family, not many people know that this place is Dongshan Ridge."
Yue Buqun nodded slightly, and summoned a Jin Yiwei to order: "Go and tell the lord that we have arrived, just wait for the people from the inside of the pot to come, and then ask the lord to act at the signal."
Watching Jin Yiwei leave, Yue Buqun looked at the sky and said, "It should be almost the same time as the appointment with the pot."
Tang Dingwei looked at the sky, nodded slightly and said: "It's almost noon, if there are no accidents, the people in the pot should be here soon."
After about a cup of tea, the rather impatient Yue Buqun suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance.
Not only Yue Buqun, but also Tang Dingwei and others all looked towards the billowing smoke and dust in the distance.
Billows of smoke and dust are approaching at an extremely fast speed, and at first glance, there is a huge cloud of smoke and dust, especially as the smoke and dust get closer, the ground shaking becomes more and more obvious.
Just listening to this movement, I am afraid that there will be no less than thousands of cavalry.
If he hadn't known in advance that the two parties were trading thousands of good horses, Yue Buqun would have suspected that Hu Libu had sent thousands of people from his tribe.
Tang Dingwei looked at the smoke that was getting closer and said to Yue Buqun: "Mr. Yue, the people in the pot are here."
Yue Buqun nodded slightly, glanced at Tang Dingwei and reminded him: "Don't forget my lord's order, if you can make great achievements this time, then your grandson will survive, otherwise... "
Tang Dingwei's eyes were full of firmness and he said: "Master Yue, don't worry, even if it's just for my forgiveness, I will fully cooperate with the imperial envoy."
Yue Buqun patted Tang Dingwei's shoulder, nodded slightly and said, "It's good that you understand these things."
At this moment, a group of Tatars in the distance surrounded a middle-aged man with red face, pigtails and a leather robe and rushed over.
When Tang Dingwei saw the person coming, he took a deep breath, got off the carriage, turned on his horse and went up to him, and Yue Buqun also followed beside Tang Dingwei.
"Hahaha, Brother Tang, why are you alone!"
When Aliha saw Tang Dingwei, he looked around, but he didn't see Tang Dingli. He was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that he was a little surprised.
Tang Dingwei stroked his beard and bowed his hands to Aliha, saying, "Third brother was going to come, but because there is a temporary matter in the clan that needs to be dealt with by third brother, so I am the only one who came to see you, Aliha."
As he said that, Tang Dingwei's eyes fell on the thousands of horses behind Aliha, and he said with a bit of joy on his face: "The leader Aliha really kept his promise."
Aliha laughed and said, "Liangju is here, what about the things Tang promised?"
Tang Dingwei pointed at the carts behind him and said with a smile, "The things you want are on top of those carts."
Aliha couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and while laughing, he drove his horse towards the carriages and said, "Okay, first let me see how these armors are!"
Suddenly, there was an explosion in the air, and a firework exploded.
This sudden change directly stunned Aliha and hundreds of clansmen in the pot, and subconsciously looked up at the blooming fireworks in the sky.
In the next moment, I heard a shout: "Do it."
Yue Buqun stopped drinking, and his figure jumped towards Aliha like lightning. Aliha didn't even figure out what was going on, and the next moment his whole body fell into Yue Buqun's hands.
Even Aliha's strength is not bad, but he is not an all-in-one enemy against Shang Yue Buqun, and the whole person is directly held by Yue Buqun.
And as Yue Buqun stopped drinking, he saw Shangbai Jinyiwei, who were pretending to be servants of the Tang family, suddenly took out their crossbows at an extremely fast speed.
huh, huh, huh
The powerful crossbows shot out suddenly, and in the blink of an eye at least dozens of warriors in the pot fell to the ground with arrows. The ground roared again and again like waking up from a dream.
Hundreds of Hulibu warriors couldn't help rushing towards Yue Buqun's direction. After all, Aliha was their leader, and now that the leader fell into Yue Buqun's hands, these people instinctively wanted to rush forward to save Aliha.
"Stop them!"
Yue Buqun yelled, and Shangbai Jinyiwei shot out the crossbow at an extremely fast speed, threw away the crossbow, and then drew his sword out of its sheath to kill the red-eyed Tatars rushing towards them.
If it was cavalry charging, to be honest, even if these Jinyiwei were elite, they were definitely not opponents of hundreds of cavalry.
But now these cavalry are obviously trapped in the convoy, and they can't do anything at all.
Once the cavalry has no impact, even the cavalry is no threat at all. These Jinyiwei can even easily kill these Tatar cavalry.
A few miles away, the banners embroidered with the characters Li and Yang were fluttering in the wind, and the banners stood upright like a forest for dozens of suns and moons, showing a murderous aura.
Who are Li Huan, Yang Yiqing and other thousands of Ming elites who have not left the customs?
A firework suddenly exploded in the sky in the distance, and Li Huan, who saw this scene, flashed a bright light in his eyes, and shouted with a bit of excitement on his face: "All soldiers, follow me to the battle."
"kill!"
Thousands of troops roared forward. If one looked down from the sky, a cavalry team of thousands of people was heading towards a tribe more than ten miles away on the grassland at an extremely fast speed.
Needless to say, that tribe was Li Huan's target this time, Hulibu.
It's not that Li Huan and the others don't want to get close to the tribe in Hulibu before rushing forward. It's really that Hulibu is not a fool, so how could they not send a large number of people to guard near their old lair.
The reason why Li Huan and the others want to take advantage of the Tang family's transaction with Hulibu is to avoid Hulibu's eyeliner, and to take the opportunity to take down Aliha, the leader of Hulibu.
If a tribe suddenly loses its leader, it will inevitably fall into chaos. When the army raids, it is self-evident that a chaotic tribe still has some combat power.
The army came roaring, but it was only a cup of tea, Li Huan led the army to the east mountain, and directly drowned hundreds of Tatars.
Aliha, who fell into Yue Buqun's hands, heard the sound of the earth shaking, and saw the cavalry of Ming Dynasty everywhere in the distance, and couldn't help showing horror and disbelief on his face.
Aliha had been cursing Tang Dingwei before. In Aliha's view, Tang Dingwei's actions were clearly intended to take advantage of their pots for nothing, and he did not want to trade with them.
From the beginning to the end, Aliha never thought that Daming would be involved in this, and he just thought that the Tang family did not keep their promises.
Aliha even thought in his heart that as long as he can escape this catastrophe, he will definitely become a tribal warrior, crush their Tang clan, and let the Tang family know how stupid it is to offend him.
But when Aliha saw the elite cavalry of Daming coming like a torrent, Aliha finally realized that this was not Tang's move, it was clearly the troops of Daming coming.
Suddenly, Aliha exclaimed loudly: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, Daming's soldiers and horses have not had the guts to enter the grassland for decades, how is this possible."
Li Huan, who came on horseback, just heard Aliha's shout, and his eyes fell on Aliha's body.
Yue Buqun bowed to Li Huan at this time and said, "My lord, Aliha, the head of Huli, is here."
Speaking of which, Yue Buqun pushed Aliha, raised his foot and kicked Aliha's leg, making Aliha kneel down in front of Li Huan and said: "I still don't want to see the imperial envoy of Ming Dynasty."
Aliha suddenly raised his head, stared fiercely at Li Huan and roared: "The emperor of Ming Dynasty will not let you go, you dare to send troops without authorization, do you know that this move is to provoke conflict between Daming and our Tatars?" Is it war?"
Apparently this Aliha is also a smart person, and he even knew to use this to threaten Li Huan.
Li Huan couldn't help laughing, looked at Aliha disdainfully and said: "Whether it will start a war or not is not up to you, a little leader, you might as well think about whether the people in your pot can fight or not." Can survive today."
Alihadeng's complexion changed drastically, almost like a conditioned reflex, he stood up all of a sudden, stared at Li Huan and shouted: "You...what do you want to do?"
With a whip in Li Huan's hand, he pointed at the elite cavalrymen of Ming Dynasty who were rushing towards the inside of the pot, and said, "What does this officer want to do? You will know soon."
While speaking, Li Huan suddenly got off his horse and said, "Take him and let him open his eyes wide to see what I'm going to do today."
After Li Huan's words fell, he appeared more than ten feet away, but Yue Buqun responded when he saw this, lifted Aliha up, and landed on Aliha's previous horse.
Aliha's mount was naturally a one-in-a-million BMW, even if it was carrying Aliha and Yue Buqun on its back, it still galloped like electricity, and followed closely behind Li Huan.
Aliha looked at the Daming cavalrymen who were rushing toward his tribe like a torrent, and he couldn't help showing a look of despair in his eyes.
The defense inside the jug has always been in the north, and Daming, which is located in the south, has no sense of defense at all.
After all, the Heihe tribe is in the north of the pot. Before coming out this time, Aliha even let the warriors in the tribe spread out to watch the movement in the north. As for the south, they had no defense at all.
Aliha knew what would happen next just by looking at the Ming cavalry like a torrent.
The unprepared Hu Libu had absolutely no resistance in front of the cavalrymen of Daming.
"The pot is over!"
Just as Aliha expected, when Li Huan directly hit and flew a Hulibu warrior with a bewildered expression on his face, the army rushed directly into the tribal habitat in Hulibu.
Hearing the movement, the tribal people in Huli were full of confusion and ran around like headless chickens. Some experienced tribal warriors got on their horses and subconsciously fought with their own bows, arrows and scimitars.
It's a pity that these people didn't have the slightest defense at all, and it was impossible to let the horse run in a hurry, how could they resist the rampant and armed elite cavalry of Ming Dynasty.
Perhaps the fair battle between the two sides proves that the Tatars still have the power to fight head-to-head, but in this case, it is completely one-sided massacre.
Many warriors in the pot were shot to death just as soon as they stepped on their horses.
Li Huan and Yang Yiqing, under the guard of their own soldiers, stopped in front of a large tent, which was Aliha's residence.
At this time, Aliha was also brought closer by Yue Buqun.
There were shouts of killing all around, and the bodies of Tatars who had been killed were everywhere on the ground. Many of these Tatars had expressions of shock and disbelief remaining on their faces.
The distraught Aliha turned over and fell off the horse, landing right in front of Li Huan and Yang Yiqing.
Aliha was in a trance, apparently greatly stimulated, suddenly, a voice came and directly awakened Aliha.
"Abu, Abu, I'm here to save you."
Suddenly, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy came out from behind a tent, holding a scimitar in his hand, his eyes were full of sternness, like a wolf cub, he turned towards a guard who was guarding all around. The soldiers rushed up.
The soldier looked at the young man with disdain, and slashed at him with his knife, but he never thought that the other party would roll on the spot, and swiped the knife with great sensitivity on the ankle of the soldier, and the next moment The soldier let out a scream and fell to the ground.
The one who was injured was Yang Yiqing's bodyguard, the young man was incomparably strong, and unexpectedly avoided the obstruction of two bodyguards, and approached Aliha in the blink of an eye.
"Dogiert, go, go!"
Aliha's expression changed drastically when he saw his youngest son, whom he had placed high hopes on, rushing to kill him. His face was full of anxiety and he shouted loudly at the boy.
Aliha is very clear, don't look at his son rushing over, but it's just an illusion, you must know that he clearly saw Yue Buqun standing beside him when he wanted to shoot at Dorjet, standing there Li Huan shook his head at Yue Buqun.
With no one to stop him, Dorjet rushed to Aliha in the blink of an eye. The young man like a wolf cub helped Aliha up, and at the same time stared fiercely at Li Huan and the others, guarding Aliha. In front of Ha.
Li Huan just looked at Aliha and his son indifferently, while there were wailing and begging for mercy and the sound of killing everywhere.
Hearing the wailing of the people and the miserable screams before dying, Aliha couldn't help shouting at Li Huan: "Butcher, you butcher, the Ming Dynasty has always ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, and you actually slaughtered my pot like this."
It's a pity that facing Aliha's roar and cursing, Li Huan's expression was flat.
Suddenly, Aliha knelt down in front of Li Huan with a plop, kowtowed to Li Huan and said, "Imperial envoy of the Celestial Dynasty, my Huli tribe is willing to surrender, and my Huli tribe has surrendered. Please order the imperial envoy to stop the killing."
As he spoke, Aliha shouted loudly: "I am willing to surrender in the pot, and I am willing to surrender to the Son of Heaven..."
For a moment, many soldiers and generals couldn't help looking at Li Huan.
How many years have there been no Tatar tribal leaders willing to surrender to Ming Dynasty? Although Hulibu is not a large Tatar tribe, it can be regarded as a medium-sized tribe. If such a tribal leader is willing to submit to Ming Dynasty, one can imagine the Ming Dynasty Above the hall, how excited those officials will be.
Foreign races surrendered to the Great Ming Dynasty, this is a deed that should be remembered in history.
It is conceivable that if Li Huan can really make Hulibu surrender to Daming and submit to Ming, then Li Huan will definitely be famous in history because of this, and it is not impossible to even be knighted because of it.
Many people couldn't help looking at Li Huan, secretly guessing in their hearts that as long as Li Huan was not a fool, he must know what kind of benefits the imperial envoy's surrender would have for him.
Even Yang Yiqing looked up at Li Huan.
Aliha yelled: "Didn't you Ming pay attention to the coming of all nations to the court and the teaching of benevolence and righteousness to the world? My Hulibu is willing to surrender to Daming. Please order the imperial envoy to stop killing people. If you continue to kill, my Hulibu will really die!" I'm going to die..."
A guerrilla general couldn't help but said to Li Huan: "Master Imperial Envoy..."
Li Huan just glanced at the guerrilla general indifferently, and immediately the guerrilla general closed his mouth when he saw Li Huan's indifferent gaze.
It was quiet all around, except for the shrill screams of the tribesmen in the pot before they died.
That sound was a kind of spiritual torture for Aliha.
"Master Imperial Envoy, you have surrendered, the tribe in the pot has surrendered..."
Aliha kept kowtowing and begging.
Suddenly, Li Huan said, "Aliha!"
Hearing Li Huan's voice, Aliha suddenly raised his head, looked at Li Huan with hope and expectation in his eyes and said, "Master Imperial Envoy, are you finally willing to let the inside of my pot go, Aliha wishes you all generations to come!" ..."

(End of this chapter)
Yang Yiqing nodded slightly and said: "This is a wonderful move, but I just want to hide the inside of the pot, or reduce the vigilance of the inside of the pot, I am afraid that the core personnel of the Tang family will need to come forward."
Speaking of which, Yang Yiqing couldn't help but glanced at Li Huan. Now it can be said that all of Tang's family has been captured by Jin Yiwei, and even relatives have been imprisoned.
According to Li Huan's intention, as long as the interrogation is over, the members of the Tang family should be killed. You must know that Li Huan is an imperial envoy, and he has the right to kill first and then report.
Now Li Huan obviously needs the cooperation of the Tang family, especially those who can get in touch with the Tatars and gain the trust of the Tatars. Only a few senior members of the Tang family have such qualifications.
Li Huan made it clear that he wanted to exterminate the Tang family. In this case, although Yang Yiqing thought Li Huan's idea was good, he was not very optimistic that Li Huan could persuade the core members of the Tang family to cooperate with them in dealing with the Tatars. people.
Li Huan obviously understood what Yang Yiqing wanted to express.
With a slight smile, Li Huan said indifferently: "Among the members of the Tang family, not all of them are devoid of conscience, and there are still a very small number of people who retain a trace of conscience. Although they should be killed, But it may not be impossible to convince the other party."
The person Li Huan mentioned was none other than the ninth master of the Tang family, Tang Dingwei.
According to what Yue Buqun and Han Le said, Tang Dingwei should be regarded as the one with the most bottom line and conscience among the core clan elders of the Tang family.The more important point is that although Tang Dingwei is said to be the core of the Tang family, it is only because of his ancestral lineage that his own abilities are very average and he has no independent opinions. I have opinions on some of the actions of the Tang family, and I seldom insist on opposing them.
All Li Huan thought about was whether he could persuade the ninth master of the Tang family to cooperate with them.
Yang Yiqing stroked his beard and nodded slowly: "If you can really persuade an elder from the core clan of the Tang family to cooperate, the old man can be almost [-]% sure of this action against the inside of the pot."
Not long after, a person was brought over.
The person who came was none other than the ninth master of the Tang family, Tang Dingwei.
Tang Dingwei looked extremely embarrassed at this time. He was wearing a prison uniform and his hair looked messy, but he looked just a little embarrassed, but he didn't suffer any injuries.
Seeing this, Li Huan looked at Tang Dingwei in surprise, but Yue Buqun at the side explained, "My lord, after Tang Dingwei was arrested, he was very cooperative and explained everything."
When Li Huan heard the words, he immediately understood that the relationship was due to Tang Dingwei's cooperation with Jin Yiwei's interrogation.
The purpose of Jin Yiwei's torture is to interrogate people and obtain useful information. If the subject of the interrogation is very cooperative, there is no need to torture, right?
Tang Dingwei's face was full of despair, he walked into the hall, saw Li Huan and Yang Yiqing, stepped forward to bow to them and said: "The criminal Tang Dingwei, I pay my respects to the imperial envoy and the governor. .”
Li Huan looked down at Tang Dingwei condescendingly, and said with a bit of coldness in his eyes: "Tang Dingwei, what you have done in the Tang family can be described as devoid of conscience, are you guilty?"
Tang Dingwei sighed softly and said: "The sinners know their crimes, the sinners have known for a long time, what the Tang family has done in these years will sooner or later bring disasters to the Tang family, but the clan brothers and the patriarchs simply don't listen. My persuasion, now that Tang Shi has ended up like this, he deserves what he deserves..."
Talking about it, Tang Dingwei sighed, "It's a pity that my Suide Tang clan is extinct."
Yang Yiqing couldn't help but looked at Tang Dingwei in surprise, as if he didn't expect Tang Dingwei to say such a thing.
But it's normal to think about it. The Tang family has a big business, and there are at least hundreds of people in the clan. It is obviously impossible to say that everyone is a person with no conscience. Strange thing.
Li Huan raised his brows when he heard the words, looked at Tang Dingwei and said suddenly: "Tang Dingwei, you also know that the Tang family colluded with the Tatars to plunder the court's relief food, so that tens of thousands of people in Suide starved to death. They are all evil debts created by the Tang family."
Tang Dingwei's eyes were full of sadness and said: "Tang family has nothing to say about this crime. Even if the imperial envoy wants to kill my Tang family, Tang family deserves what he deserves."
Li Huan looked at Tang Dingwei and said: "Your Tang family is indeed worthy of death, but shouldn't the Tatars in the pot deserve to die? If it weren't for them, it would be impossible for so many people to die tragically. Your Tang family It’s gone, but the Tatars in the jug can live in peace on the grassland.”
Tang Dingwei was not a fool either. Hearing Li Huan's words, he suddenly raised his head to look at Li Huan and said, "My lord, do you have anything to say to the criminals?"
Li Huan said indifferently: "Do you want to atone for your Tang family?"
Tang Dingwei was taken aback for a moment, then realized, looked at Li Huan and said, "What does your lord want Cao Min to do?"
A stern look flashed in Li Huan's eyes and said: "I hope that Tang Dingwei can help me slaughter the inside of the pot."
Tang Dingwei couldn't help turning pale when he heard the words, he looked at Li Huan with a face full of horror, and then looked at Yang Yiqing who was sitting there.
Tang Dingwei is just short-tempered and has no opinion, but he is not a fool.
The meaning of Li Huan's words could not be clearer, which means that Li Huan wants to deal with Hu Libu.
Soon Tang Dingwei shook his head again and again and said: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. Aliha in the pot is not a fool. Even if I, Tang Shi, come forward, it is impossible to persuade the other party to enter the customs again and send him to death."
Obviously, from Tang Dingwei's point of view, Li Huan wanted their Tang family to come forward and invite Hu Libu to enter the customs. After all, their Tang family had done this before.
If it is really possible to trick the inner part of the pot into it, it goes without saying that the elite in the inner part of the pot can really be wiped out by doing mental calculations or unintentional calculations.
It's just that Tang Dingwei also knows that it is absolutely impossible for the people in the pot to enter the customs at this time. After all, the people in the pot are not stupid. It is impossible for the people in the pot to be fooled.
So Tang Dingwei felt that Li Huan was simply whimsical.
Li Huan shook his head slowly, looked at Tang Dingwei and said, "I am not asking you to move the inside of the pot to enter the customs. I also know that this is not realistic at all. As far as I know, after a few days, you Tang is about to make a deal with Hulibu."
Tang Dingwei looked at Li Huan and said, "My lord, do you mean that the imperial army will step out of the Great Wall and enter the grassland to deal with Hulibu?"
Li Huan saw Tang Dingwei's reaction in his eyes, and said with a chuckle, "What? Could it be that only the Tatars are allowed to invade our Central Plains, and my Ming soldiers are not allowed to step into the grassland?"
Tang Dingwei ignored Li Huan, but looked at Yang Yiqing, governor of the three sides.
Even though Da Ming still separates civil and military from the outside, anyone who is not a fool can see that now Da Ming is actually using civil to defend military.
So Tang Dingwei didn't believe the words of a young imperial envoy like Li Huan, he was more willing to believe the words of Yang Yiqing, the imperial censor of the right capital, the governor of Shaanxi, and the governor of the three sides.
Yang Yiqing clearly sensed Tang Dingwei's gaze, nodded solemnly and said to Tang Dingwei: "Yes, I have agreed with the imperial envoy to slaughter the pot in order to avenge the tens of thousands of people in Suide. "
Speaking of which, Yang Yiqing looked at Tang Dingwei and said, "This is your opportunity for Tang to forgive your sins, and it depends on whether you, Tang Dingwei, are willing to assist the court in dealing with the use of troops in the pot!"
Tang Dingwei pondered for a while, then slowly raised his head to look at Yang Yiqing and Li Huan and said, "It's not impossible for me to cooperate with the court, the criminals only have one request."
Li Huan said indifferently: "Speak!"
Tang Dingwei took a deep breath and prayed: "My Tang family deserves to die, all the males will be killed, and the female relatives will be sent to the Jiaofang Division. This is my Tang family's retribution, but... but the imperial envoy Your Excellency, Your Excellency Governor, can you leave me a root of the Tang family?"
Speaking of Tang Dingwei, he said in a trembling voice with a bit of excitement and expectation: "I have a grandson who was born just ten months ago, and he is just a baby. If the two adults can save his life, the criminals are willing to help the court to wipe out In the pot, forgive me, Mrs. Tang."
With a bang, Tang Dingwei kowtowed viciously to Li Huan and Yang Yiqing.
Li Huan couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, but at this time Yang Yiqing glanced at Tang Dingwei, pondered for a while, and then said to Li Huan: "Master Li, I think that Tang Dingwei can be given a chance. If you cooperate with the imperial court to wipe out the Hulibu, it will be considered a great achievement, and the imperial envoy can give his baby a way to survive afterwards."
Li Huan is still frowning. The crimes committed by the Tang family can be described as serious. They colluded with the Tatars, plundered the relief money and food, and tens of thousands of people died tragically. It's lighter.
Now that Tang Dingwei wanted to ask him to leave a bloodline for the Tang family, according to Li Huan's temperament, it was absolutely impossible to agree.
Just glanced at Tang Dingwei, Li Huan took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Okay, I can give you a chance, if you can really cooperate with the court to kill the inside of the pot, then I can make the decision. Save your grandson's life."
Tang Dingwei couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, with tears of excitement streaming from his eyes, he kowtowed to Yang Yiqing and said: "Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord."
Li Huan snorted coldly and said: "Remember, the premise is that you can assist the court to destroy the inside of the pot, otherwise..."
Tang Dingwei said with a firm expression on his face: "My lord, don't worry, the criminals have also dealt with those Tatars. This time, the criminals are responsible for the horse trade agreement with the Tatars. What an accident."
Li Huan snorted coldly and said, "I hope you won't disappoint me."
As he said that, Li Huan said to Yue Buqun who was beside him: "Yue Buqun, you will temporarily act as the accountant of the Tang family and follow Tang Dingwei to select a group of people to cooperate with Tang Dingwei."
Yue Buqun heard the words and said solemnly: "This subordinate obeys orders."
Watching Tang Dingwei and Yue Buqun leave, Li Huan looked at Yang Yiqing and said, "The matter of Governor Yang's deployment of troops is entirely up to the Governor."
Yang Yiqing stroked his beard, eyes flashed brightly and said: "Your Imperial Envoy, don't worry, the old man has already sent people to dispatch the elite cavalry from the three sides, and you will definitely not miss your business."
Suidezhou
With the county magistrate Ding Dechao being granted the authority to help the victims by Li Huan, coupled with the continuous confiscation of food, the situation of the victims outside the city is obviously good.
At the same time, Li Huan gave an order and raised the banner of recruiting troops.
You must know that there are still 10,000+ disaster victims outside the city of Suidezhou. Those who can persist until now, it can be said that except for a very small number of old and weak, almost half of them are young men and women, or some children, at least some of them are old. There are only a handful of old people.
Under the same conditions, Li Huan ordered the recruitment of [-] young and strong men in Suide Prefecture, and used the confiscated land, gold, silver, and grain as conditions for resettling these young and strong relatives.
In less than a day, even after several rounds of screening, five thousand young men were enough to be recruited. If it wasn't for Li Huan's consideration of maintaining some vitality for Suide Prefecture, he really let go of the recruitment, don't Say five thousand, even 2 people are easy.
Here, Li Huan, with the cooperation of Yang Yiqing, wantonly investigated the corruption of officials in Shaanxi Province, used the property of these officials to help the victims, and at the same time selected a group of officials who were relatively clean from among the local officials, and used these officials to preside over the government affairs of the party. , finally stabilized the situation in the whole of Shaanxi.
On this day, a group of people and horses appeared in front of the Great Wall that stretched for thousands of miles, and the one walking in the front was a caravan. There were hundreds of people in the caravan. for.
Tang Dingwei is wearing silk and satin, which looks very rich, while Yue Buqun is wearing green shirt, which looks very elegant.
And behind them are some trustworthy people selected in the past few days, most of them are almost from Jin Yiwei, and they are all dressed as servants.
The large carts were filled with sacks, and they seemed to be filled with all kinds of goods.
sanlangkou
San Langkou, who had already been replaced as a guard, now guards the gate, and Zong Zheng respectfully opens the gate and lets the convoy pass through.
The gatekeeper is definitely none other than the Corporal Shi Erlang who had escaped from Tang Ye's hands back then.
Shi Erlang was obviously valued. Not only was Shan Yue promoted to general manager, but he was also appointed to guard San Lang's mouth.
Shi Erlang had received the news before, and was even allowed to go out with the army to seek revenge on the Tatars in the pot.
Watching the caravan disguised as members of the Tang family leave, Shi Erlang soon heard the sound of the team coming.
Looking from a distance, it was black and dense, and it was impressive that a group of cavalry came slowly.
Needless to say, these cavalry were the three elites drawn by Yang Yiqing.
In addition to the cavalry selected from the Beijing camp that followed Li Huan, there were almost 6000 people in total.
Such a team does not seem to be many. After all, compared with the size of hundreds of thousands of troops every time when Daming went out to the grasslands outside the city, a mere few thousand people are not even considered vanguards.
But that also depends on the level of the opponent.
Back then, hundreds of thousands of troops were frequently mobilized, and Daming's opponent was the overlord of the entire grassland, the remnants of Meng Yuan, but now it was just for a mere grassland tribe.
Thousands of troops are dispatched, which is really worthy of the inner part of the pot. If so many troops are dispatched, they can't take the inner part of the pot, then we have to think about how powerful the nine side army is.
Riding on a war horse, Li Huan, dressed in armor, looked heroic, like a young general.
In contrast, Yang Yiqing's demeanor is obviously more mature and stable, and there is no way to do it, because Li Huan's age is there.
Yang Yiqing did not change into a suit of armor like Li Huan, but still wore the official uniform of a governor, keeping pace with Li Huan.
Shi Erlang looked at Li Huan, Yang Yiqing and the whole army who were coming, and immediately led more than a hundred soldiers guarding the pass to greet Li Huan and the others.
Li Huan looked at Shi Erlang and said with a smile: "Shi Erlang, leave some people to guard the pass, and the rest will go out with me."
Shi Erlang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said excitedly: "Thank you, my lord."
on the grassland
Although it is said that it has entered the end of autumn, there is not much green on the grassland, and as far as the eye can see, it is all yellow withered grass.
The severe drought in Shaanxi has actually affected the grasslands adjacent to Shaanxi to some extent, at least the grassland with lush water and grass occupied by Huli has been seriously affected.
It is obvious that the livestock originally kept in the pot could not continue to keep so many cattle, sheep and horses when it was obvious that the disaster had already occurred.
This is also one of the reasons why Hulibu would take the initiative to trade [-] good horses with Tang's. Otherwise, as long as he could afford so many good horses, Hulibu would not choose to trade with good horses.
Anyway, it is destined that a large number of livestock will starve to death due to the catastrophe. It is better to exchange some living supplies from the Tang family so that more clansmen can survive this cold winter.
If this was the case in previous years, if Hulibu could not cross the Great Wall and plunder Daming, they would inevitably suffer huge losses and injuries.
But this time, with the help of Tang's family, more than 1 stones of grain were forcibly looted in the pot. There is no problem for tens of thousands of people in the whole pot to spend this winter.
Just because they saw the hope of surviving, as Aliha, Sonnite and his son returned to the tribe with the warriors in the pot carrying tens of thousands of shi of grain, the whole pot was boiling.
Even the inside of the pot celebrated with songs and dances for several days, and the jubilant atmosphere finally faded a little.
A huge tent was quite conspicuous among the many tents, and this tent was the residence of Aliha, the head of Hulibu.
As a figure lifted the curtain and walked into the tent, a gust of cold wind hit, bringing in a bit of coolness.
Aliha, who was sitting in the tent drinking horse milk tea, looked up at the person and said, "Sonite, you are here!"
Sonit said to Aliha: "Abu, what's the matter with calling your son?"
Aliha motioned for Solnit to sit down and said, "Sonnit, for my father's previous agreement with the Tang family, we will make a deal with them tomorrow. I asked you to choose a batch of horses, have you selected them?"
Sonnette hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Abu, my son has selected a batch of bad horses, and all the ones left are good horses."
Aliha smiled and said: "That's right, although we have no choice but to trade the horse with the Tang family, it doesn't mean we have to trade the good horse to them."
Solnit smiled and said: "I heard that the Tang family will send us salt and iron, the Ming army's cotton armor and a batch of weapons this time?"
Aliha stroked his knotted beard like a Ming man, nodded slightly and said, "That's right, Abu, as I said this time, you can either trade grain or trade armor, Tang Family That one is the Commander of the Guards, and if he leaks any casually in his hand, it will be hundreds of thousands of soldiers."
Solnit said with a bit of excitement: "If this is the case, the warriors in my pot will be strong and strong. If they invade Daming again in the future, they will definitely look down upon them."
Aliha laughed and said: "So this transaction is very important. In the past few times, the Tang family only agreed to give us a dozen sets of armor, but this time there are hundreds of armors. Abu, I will personally bring them If someone goes to handover with the people from Tang’s family, you will stay and take care of Abu’s family.”
Hearing the words, Solnit showed some hesitation on his face and said: "Abu, can't you take your son with you? The Ming people will not dispatch an army to this grassland. What's the use of my son staying?"
Glancing at Solnit, Aliha said: "It is true that Ming people will not come to this prairie, but don't forget, what we are guarding against is not Ming people, but other tribes."
Solnit was taken aback for a moment, and said with a look of surprise on his face: "Abu, are you talking about the Black Sea tribe?"
The Black Sea tribe was adjacent to Hulibu, and because the tribe was slightly weaker than the Huli tribe, the most abundant grassland nearby fell into the hands of Hulibu.
In order to compete with Hulibu for grassland, the Black Sea Tribe and Hulibu had more than one or two conflicts.
Fortunately, the two sides were restrained. Although conflicts broke out frequently, due to the restraint of the head of ten thousand households, the two tribes did not really fight to the death.
But even so, there has been a long-standing grievance between the two parties. This catastrophe affected both the Huli Department and the Black Sea Department.
Because the Hulibu colluded with the Tang family and robbed tens of thousands of stones of grain, they had the confidence to survive the disaster year, but the Black Sea department was different.
Aliha knew very well that once the news spread that they had got a large amount of food in the pot, the Black Sea Department would definitely not be unresponsive when they received the news.
Because of their looting, the border town of Daming is already under martial law. Even if the Black Sea Department wants to follow their example, it may be difficult for the Ming army to successfully invade and pass under the high alert of the Ming army.
What's more, even if the real Kouguan is successful, I'm afraid the loss is too big for the Black Sea Department to bear.
In this case, it is very likely that the Black Sea Department will come to attack the inside of their pot.
Looking at Solnit, Aliha solemnly warned: "I'm going to trade with Tang Corporation, Solnit, you must take good care of my home."
Sony nodded.
After speaking, Aliha waved his hand at Solnit and said, "Go down."
Solnit retreated, Aliha stood up, and walked into a curtain in the tent.
Immediately, there was a woman's screaming and cursing from inside the curtain. Just listening to that voice and cursing words, it was clear that it was the Daming woman who had been robbed.
Dongshanling
This is a barren hill on the grassland. Because it is obviously much higher, it is called Dongshan Ridge.
At this moment, a caravan was slowly coming towards Dongshan Ridge, Tang Dingwei, who was sitting on the carriage, said to Yue Buqun, "Mr. Yue, this is Dongshan Ridge."
Looking at the barren hill in front of him, Yue Buqun was taken aback for a moment, and his face could not help showing a bit of astonishment.
Tang Dingwei also said earlier that the place of transaction agreed by both parties is Dongshanling.
In Yue Buqun's cognition, Dongshanling should be a mountain range, but he never thought that the so-called Dongshanling is just a barren hill.
If you are not familiar with the terrain on the grassland, or even know the place names, you may not be able to find this place even if you really know the trading location.
After all, how many people would regard the barren hill in front of them as a mountain?
As if seeing Yue Buqun's astonishment, Tang Dingwei explained: "Mr. Yue didn't know something, this barren hill didn't have any name at all, but later our Tang family made transactions with Huli Bu here several times, so we decided to Name this place Dongshan Ridge, it can be said that apart from the old people of our Tang family, not many people know that this place is Dongshan Ridge."
Yue Buqun nodded slightly, and summoned a Jin Yiwei to order: "Go and tell the lord that we have arrived, just wait for the people from the inside of the pot to come, and then ask the lord to act at the signal."
Watching Jin Yiwei leave, Yue Buqun looked at the sky and said, "It should be almost the same time as the appointment with the pot."
Tang Dingwei looked at the sky, nodded slightly and said: "It's almost noon, if there are no accidents, the people in the pot should be here soon."
After about a cup of tea, the rather impatient Yue Buqun suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance.
Not only Yue Buqun, but also Tang Dingwei and others all looked towards the billowing smoke and dust in the distance.
Billows of smoke and dust are approaching at an extremely fast speed, and at first glance, there is a huge cloud of smoke and dust, especially as the smoke and dust get closer, the ground shaking becomes more and more obvious.
Just listening to this movement, I am afraid that there will be no less than thousands of cavalry.
If he hadn't known in advance that the two parties were trading thousands of good horses, Yue Buqun would have suspected that Hu Libu had sent thousands of people from his tribe.
Tang Dingwei looked at the smoke that was getting closer and said to Yue Buqun: "Mr. Yue, the people in the pot are here."
Yue Buqun nodded slightly, glanced at Tang Dingwei and reminded him: "Don't forget my lord's order, if you can make great achievements this time, then your grandson will survive, otherwise... "
Tang Dingwei's eyes were full of firmness and he said: "Master Yue, don't worry, even if it's just for my forgiveness, I will fully cooperate with the imperial envoy."
Yue Buqun patted Tang Dingwei's shoulder, nodded slightly and said, "It's good that you understand these things."
At this moment, a group of Tatars in the distance surrounded a middle-aged man with red face, pigtails and a leather robe and rushed over.
When Tang Dingwei saw the person coming, he took a deep breath, got off the carriage, turned on his horse and went up to him, and Yue Buqun also followed beside Tang Dingwei.
"Hahaha, Brother Tang, why are you alone!"
When Aliha saw Tang Dingwei, he looked around, but he didn't see Tang Dingli. He was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that he was a little surprised.
Tang Dingwei stroked his beard and bowed his hands to Aliha, saying, "Third brother was going to come, but because there is a temporary matter in the clan that needs to be dealt with by third brother, so I am the only one who came to see you, Aliha."
As he said that, Tang Dingwei's eyes fell on the thousands of horses behind Aliha, and he said with a bit of joy on his face: "The leader Aliha really kept his promise."
Aliha laughed and said, "Liangju is here, what about the things Tang promised?"
Tang Dingwei pointed at the carts behind him and said with a smile, "The things you want are on top of those carts."
Aliha couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and while laughing, he drove his horse towards the carriages and said, "Okay, first let me see how these armors are!"
Suddenly, there was an explosion in the air, and a firework exploded.
This sudden change directly stunned Aliha and hundreds of clansmen in the pot, and subconsciously looked up at the blooming fireworks in the sky.
In the next moment, I heard a shout: "Do it."
Yue Buqun stopped drinking, and his figure jumped towards Aliha like lightning. Aliha didn't even figure out what was going on, and the next moment his whole body fell into Yue Buqun's hands.
Even Aliha's strength is not bad, but he is not an all-in-one enemy against Shang Yue Buqun, and the whole person is directly held by Yue Buqun.
And as Yue Buqun stopped drinking, he saw Shangbai Jinyiwei, who were pretending to be servants of the Tang family, suddenly took out their crossbows at an extremely fast speed.
huh, huh, huh
The powerful crossbows shot out suddenly, and in the blink of an eye at least dozens of warriors in the pot fell to the ground with arrows. The ground roared again and again like waking up from a dream.
Hundreds of Hulibu warriors couldn't help rushing towards Yue Buqun's direction. After all, Aliha was their leader, and now that the leader fell into Yue Buqun's hands, these people instinctively wanted to rush forward to save Aliha.
"Stop them!"
Yue Buqun yelled, and Shangbai Jinyiwei shot out the crossbow at an extremely fast speed, threw away the crossbow, and then drew his sword out of its sheath to kill the red-eyed Tatars rushing towards them.
If it was cavalry charging, to be honest, even if these Jinyiwei were elite, they were definitely not opponents of hundreds of cavalry.
But now these cavalry are obviously trapped in the convoy, and they can't do anything at all.
Once the cavalry has no impact, even the cavalry is no threat at all. These Jinyiwei can even easily kill these Tatar cavalry.
A few miles away, the banners embroidered with the characters Li and Yang were fluttering in the wind, and the banners stood upright like a forest for dozens of suns and moons, showing a murderous aura.
Who are Li Huan, Yang Yiqing and other thousands of Ming elites who have not left the customs?
A firework suddenly exploded in the sky in the distance, and Li Huan, who saw this scene, flashed a bright light in his eyes, and shouted with a bit of excitement on his face: "All soldiers, follow me to the battle."
"kill!"
Thousands of troops roared forward. If one looked down from the sky, a cavalry team of thousands of people was heading towards a tribe more than ten miles away on the grassland at an extremely fast speed.
Needless to say, that tribe was Li Huan's target this time, Hulibu.
It's not that Li Huan and the others don't want to get close to the tribe in Hulibu before rushing forward. It's really that Hulibu is not a fool, so how could they not send a large number of people to guard near their old lair.
The reason why Li Huan and the others want to take advantage of the Tang family's transaction with Hulibu is to avoid Hulibu's eyeliner, and to take the opportunity to take down Aliha, the leader of Hulibu.
If a tribe suddenly loses its leader, it will inevitably fall into chaos. When the army raids, it is self-evident that a chaotic tribe still has some combat power.
The army came roaring, but it was only a cup of tea, Li Huan led the army to the east mountain, and directly drowned hundreds of Tatars.
Aliha, who fell into Yue Buqun's hands, heard the sound of the earth shaking, and saw the cavalry of Ming Dynasty everywhere in the distance, and couldn't help showing horror and disbelief on his face.
Aliha had been cursing Tang Dingwei before. In Aliha's view, Tang Dingwei's actions were clearly intended to take advantage of their pots for nothing, and he did not want to trade with them.
From the beginning to the end, Aliha never thought that Daming would be involved in this, and he just thought that the Tang family did not keep their promises.
Aliha even thought in his heart that as long as he can escape this catastrophe, he will definitely become a tribal warrior, crush their Tang clan, and let the Tang family know how stupid it is to offend him.
But when Aliha saw the elite cavalry of Daming coming like a torrent, Aliha finally realized that this was not Tang's move, it was clearly the troops of Daming coming.
Suddenly, Aliha exclaimed loudly: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, Daming's soldiers and horses have not had the guts to enter the grassland for decades, how is this possible."
Li Huan, who came on horseback, just heard Aliha's shout, and his eyes fell on Aliha's body.
Yue Buqun bowed to Li Huan at this time and said, "My lord, Aliha, the head of Huli, is here."
Speaking of which, Yue Buqun pushed Aliha, raised his foot and kicked Aliha's leg, making Aliha kneel down in front of Li Huan and said: "I still don't want to see the imperial envoy of Ming Dynasty."
Aliha suddenly raised his head, stared fiercely at Li Huan and roared: "The emperor of Ming Dynasty will not let you go, you dare to send troops without authorization, do you know that this move is to provoke conflict between Daming and our Tatars?" Is it war?"
Apparently this Aliha is also a smart person, and he even knew to use this to threaten Li Huan.
Li Huan couldn't help laughing, looked at Aliha disdainfully and said: "Whether it will start a war or not is not up to you, a little leader, you might as well think about whether the people in your pot can fight or not." Can survive today."
Alihadeng's complexion changed drastically, almost like a conditioned reflex, he stood up all of a sudden, stared at Li Huan and shouted: "You...what do you want to do?"
With a whip in Li Huan's hand, he pointed at the elite cavalrymen of Ming Dynasty who were rushing towards the inside of the pot, and said, "What does this officer want to do? You will know soon."
While speaking, Li Huan suddenly got off his horse and said, "Take him and let him open his eyes wide to see what I'm going to do today."
After Li Huan's words fell, he appeared more than ten feet away, but Yue Buqun responded when he saw this, lifted Aliha up, and landed on Aliha's previous horse.
Aliha's mount was naturally a one-in-a-million BMW, even if it was carrying Aliha and Yue Buqun on its back, it still galloped like electricity, and followed closely behind Li Huan.
Aliha looked at the Daming cavalrymen who were rushing toward his tribe like a torrent, and he couldn't help showing a look of despair in his eyes.
The defense inside the jug has always been in the north, and Daming, which is located in the south, has no sense of defense at all.
After all, the Heihe tribe is in the north of the pot. Before coming out this time, Aliha even let the warriors in the tribe spread out to watch the movement in the north. As for the south, they had no defense at all.
Aliha knew what would happen next just by looking at the Ming cavalry like a torrent.
The unprepared Hu Libu had absolutely no resistance in front of the cavalrymen of Daming.
"The pot is over!"
Just as Aliha expected, when Li Huan directly hit and flew a Hulibu warrior with a bewildered expression on his face, the army rushed directly into the tribal habitat in Hulibu.
Hearing the movement, the tribal people in Huli were full of confusion and ran around like headless chickens. Some experienced tribal warriors got on their horses and subconsciously fought with their own bows, arrows and scimitars.
It's a pity that these people didn't have the slightest defense at all, and it was impossible to let the horse run in a hurry, how could they resist the rampant and armed elite cavalry of Ming Dynasty.
Perhaps the fair battle between the two sides proves that the Tatars still have the power to fight head-to-head, but in this case, it is completely one-sided massacre.
Many warriors in the pot were shot to death just as soon as they stepped on their horses.
Li Huan and Yang Yiqing, under the guard of their own soldiers, stopped in front of a large tent, which was Aliha's residence.
At this time, Aliha was also brought closer by Yue Buqun.
There were shouts of killing all around, and the bodies of Tatars who had been killed were everywhere on the ground. Many of these Tatars had expressions of shock and disbelief remaining on their faces.
The distraught Aliha turned over and fell off the horse, landing right in front of Li Huan and Yang Yiqing.
Aliha was in a trance, apparently greatly stimulated, suddenly, a voice came and directly awakened Aliha.
"Abu, Abu, I'm here to save you."
Suddenly, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy came out from behind a tent, holding a scimitar in his hand, his eyes were full of sternness, like a wolf cub, he turned towards a guard who was guarding all around. The soldiers rushed up.
The soldier looked at the young man with disdain, and slashed at him with his knife, but he never thought that the other party would roll on the spot, and swiped the knife with great sensitivity on the ankle of the soldier, and the next moment The soldier let out a scream and fell to the ground.
The one who was injured was Yang Yiqing's bodyguard, the young man was incomparably strong, and unexpectedly avoided the obstruction of two bodyguards, and approached Aliha in the blink of an eye.
"Dogiert, go, go!"
Aliha's expression changed drastically when he saw his youngest son, whom he had placed high hopes on, rushing to kill him. His face was full of anxiety and he shouted loudly at the boy.
Aliha is very clear, don't look at his son rushing over, but it's just an illusion, you must know that he clearly saw Yue Buqun standing beside him when he wanted to shoot at Dorjet, standing there Li Huan shook his head at Yue Buqun.
With no one to stop him, Dorjet rushed to Aliha in the blink of an eye. The young man like a wolf cub helped Aliha up, and at the same time stared fiercely at Li Huan and the others, guarding Aliha. In front of Ha.
Li Huan just looked at Aliha and his son indifferently, while there were wailing and begging for mercy and the sound of killing everywhere.
Hearing the wailing of the people and the miserable screams before dying, Aliha couldn't help shouting at Li Huan: "Butcher, you butcher, the Ming Dynasty has always ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, and you actually slaughtered my pot like this."
It's a pity that facing Aliha's roar and cursing, Li Huan's expression was flat.
Suddenly, Aliha knelt down in front of Li Huan with a plop, kowtowed to Li Huan and said, "Imperial envoy of the Celestial Dynasty, my Huli tribe is willing to surrender, and my Huli tribe has surrendered. Please order the imperial envoy to stop the killing."
As he spoke, Aliha shouted loudly: "I am willing to surrender in the pot, and I am willing to surrender to the Son of Heaven..."
For a moment, many soldiers and generals couldn't help looking at Li Huan.
How many years have there been no Tatar tribal leaders willing to surrender to Ming Dynasty? Although Hulibu is not a large Tatar tribe, it can be regarded as a medium-sized tribe. If such a tribal leader is willing to submit to Ming Dynasty, one can imagine the Ming Dynasty Above the hall, how excited those officials will be.
Foreign races surrendered to the Great Ming Dynasty, this is a deed that should be remembered in history.
It is conceivable that if Li Huan can really make Hulibu surrender to Daming and submit to Ming, then Li Huan will definitely be famous in history because of this, and it is not impossible to even be knighted because of it.
Many people couldn't help looking at Li Huan, secretly guessing in their hearts that as long as Li Huan was not a fool, he must know what kind of benefits the imperial envoy's surrender would have for him.
Even Yang Yiqing looked up at Li Huan.
Aliha yelled: "Didn't you Ming pay attention to the coming of all nations to the court and the teaching of benevolence and righteousness to the world? My Hulibu is willing to surrender to Daming. Please order the imperial envoy to stop killing people. If you continue to kill, my Hulibu will really die!" I'm going to die..."
A guerrilla general couldn't help but said to Li Huan: "Master Imperial Envoy..."
Li Huan just glanced at the guerrilla general indifferently, and immediately the guerrilla general closed his mouth when he saw Li Huan's indifferent gaze.
It was quiet all around, except for the shrill screams of the tribesmen in the pot before they died.
That sound was a kind of spiritual torture for Aliha.
"Master Imperial Envoy, you have surrendered, the tribe in the pot has surrendered..."
Aliha kept kowtowing and begging.
Suddenly, Li Huan said, "Aliha!"
Hearing Li Huan's voice, Aliha suddenly raised his head, looked at Li Huan with hope and expectation in his eyes and said, "Master Imperial Envoy, are you finally willing to let the inside of my pot go, Aliha wishes you all generations to come!" ..."
