In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 58 Everyone wants to take advantage of Na Mu Zhong

"Sir, the Jurchens in the castle outside left this morning. Those who went east should be returning to Liaodong."

After Yue Tuo received Huang Taiji's order, although he was unwilling to do so, he had to take his people back to Liaodong. The news was immediately passed back to the village by the Mongolian boy in charge of the whistle.

Obviously Lin Rui has been paying attention to Yue Tuo's every move. Now that he heard that he was finally gone, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with great joy: "Mom, finally gone, I thought they were going to stay here for the winter. "

He couldn't help but feel angry. If the Tatars continued to block outside and refused to leave, for up to a month, he would either choose to kill horses to survive the winter, or take people out to have a fight with the Jurchens.

No matter which option he chooses, he is not willing to do it. Although with their current strength, they may not lose if they attack at night, but the best result is to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to themselves. Once all the horses are killed, Next year they will lose their mobility and will most likely be trapped alive in the mountains.

Fortunately, the Jurchens not only did not send reinforcements, but also temporarily retreated to Liaodong. He estimated that the Jurchens probably thought that they dared to hide in the mountains, and the food and fodder they had hoarded must be sufficient. Plus, winter was about to begin, so there was no need to continue blocking the outside. Yes, I just went back now, hoping to wait until next spring before sending a large army.

Little did they know that they didn't have enough food and fodder at all, but now it's better. This period of time is enough for them to collect all the food and fodder.

Everyone was very excited. In order to serve the more than 1000 horses, everyone had to spend an hour or two every day to cut grass in the mountains, not to mention it was very tiring.

Even so, the war horse still seriously missed the target. The key is that after a while, there will be no grass to cut in the nearby mountains.

After Mrs. Niu finished her excitement, she couldn't wait to say: "Brother Lin, why don't I take people back first to see what kind of damage those Jurchens have done to our castle?"

"Don't worry, just wait a few more days. When the Tatars are farther away, we can go back to prevent them from returning with their carbine!"

Lin Rui waved his hand cautiously.

Everyone thinks it makes sense.

Three days later, when it was confirmed that the Jurchens had indeed returned to Liaodong, Lin Rui was about to take people back to the castle, but Chatu led more than 100 Mongolian Tatars to the valley again.

Lin Rui had expected this and knew the purpose of his trip, but he didn't expect him to come so quickly.

Those Mongolian teenagers who went out to inquire for information could not help but spread the news about Namu Zhong in the village back to their tribes.

"Abba, why don't I go and you and A-mei stay at the foot of the mountain."

"Yes, Dad, why don't you let me go and you and my brother stay here?"

Seeing that their father wanted to go up the mountain in person, the Hutch brothers and sisters advised him with some worry.

"Stop talking, you all stay here. Abba can go alone." Chatu waved his hand, got off his horse and walked towards the mountain village.

The brother and sister had no choice but to wait at the foot of the mountain with their clansmen. They knew that Abba came in person this time not just to exchange for the captured clansmen.

Lin Rui had already opened the village gate to greet him outside.

"Haha, the leader of the Chatu tribe came here in person. This courage is really admirable. I am Lin Rui, the leader here. I think the leader of the Chatu tribe must have heard of it."

"You're welcome, Mr. Lin. I've long heard that Mr. Lin is a hero. I'm finally lucky enough to meet him today!" Although it was the first time for the two of them to meet, they didn't feel unfamiliar at all. After a few polite words, Lin Rui took the picture Please enter the cottage.

Come to the big tent.

Although he had been mentally prepared, looking at Namu Zhong aside, Chatu was still so excited that his body trembled slightly. He hurriedly stepped forward to salute and squeezed out two tears.

Seeing the old subordinates from the past, Na Muzhong's eyes were also slightly red. The two of them lamented and reminisced about the past. Chatu calmed down and looked at Lin Rui and said: "Master Lin, thank you for saving Khan Hou from the Jurchens." Please give me a price to rescue her. No matter how high the price is, I will take Queen Khan away today."

"Let's not rush this. I want to ask the leader of the Chatu clan first. After taking your Khan Queen away, do you plan to give it to the Jurchens to seek wealth, or do you want to keep it yourself?"

Lin Rui slowly came to the main seat and sat down, saying with a playful expression.

This old guy actually dared to peek at Namu Zhong without peeing and showing off his own strength.

"I, the Chahar people, will never do that kind of thing where a seller seeks glory, and I, Chatu, will follow the Khan to the death." Chatu said with dignity.

"So, the leader of the Chatu tribe wants to stay by himself? But your Chatu tribe only has more than a thousand people. Once the Jurchens find out, how will the leader of the Chatu tribe respond? It is to protect your queen Khan and fight to the end. , or surrender again?”

"You don't have to worry about this, Mr. Lin." Chatu's old face was a little embarrassed when he was asked, and he waved his hands.

It was definitely impossible to fight to the end, and the Jurchens would not be given another chance if they surrendered, so he had already thought about it and moved directly to Mobei with the Khan Queen.

"Chatu, I won't go back with you, and don't even think about taking me to Mobei. The Jurchens were able to chase me to the West Sea back then, and they can chase them to Mobei in the future. What's more, the three tribes in Mobei are powerful. Not only are they not You will surrender to us, and you will only annex us. Your selfishness and ambition will eventually lead to the destruction of our entire Chahar tribe!"

This time, before Lin Rui spoke, Na Mu Zhong said coldly.

She clearly knew what Chatu had planned. He just wanted to use her to lead the entire Chahar tribe in the Liaohe region to migrate to Mobei to become the new Great Khan.

But she knew very well how much Chatu had. Let alone leading the tribe to fight against the Jurchens, he could not win any of the three Mobei tribes.

Such an incompetent person is not worthy of being her Namu Zhong's man. Instead of continuing to live the life of running away, it is better to follow this Han family man. At least he has the courage to confront the Jurchens and is not just thinking about it. To escape and avoid.

"Queen Khan, am I less loyal to you than a Han man?"

Chatu said sadly and excitedly when he saw Namuzhong didn't want to go with him.

"Chatu, loyalty is not enough. You should understand that you can't protect me, and you don't have the ability to save my Chahar tribe, but this Han family man can. He is the envoy sent by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I have promised Cooperate with him and fight against the Jurchens together, so I hope to get your support!"

At this moment, Namuzhong showed the temperament that a sweat queen should have. Her words directly shattered Chatu's dream, and she fell down on the stool with a look of death.

"After Khan, he cannot be the envoy sent by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Although he has temporarily repelled the Jurchens, the Jurchens will definitely come again next year. It is impossible for him to win. Even if our Chatu Department is willing to support Khan In the end, other tribes will not agree to betray the Jurchens."

After a long while, Chatu shook his head. Although he had given up on taking Namu Zhong away, he would not die in vain by joining them in fighting against the Jurchens.
