Blood from Daming

Chapter 304 Babu
The general flag patrolling the border knelt on one leg and reported to Xue Yun: "General, the Chechen Khan sent a mission to arrive, less than [-] miles away from our army camp, and the leader is said to be Prince Babu."

After hearing this, Xue Yun waved his hand to let the general banner of the report back down, and then said to the generals around him: "The Chechen Khan arrived so fast, everyone, go back and form a team, lest the Mongols see our Ming army training on the grassland. .”

After hearing Xue Yun's words, the generals scattered and went to find their own team. Zan Hua Jiang Xi said: "Young master, what will we do if the Chechen Khans don't hand over our son-in-law Zhu Youhua."

Xue Yun said: "The relationship between the Chechen Khan and Ming Dynasty is not bad. From the perspective of the overall situation of the country, I am not willing to take the initiative to provoke a war between the Chechen Khan and Ming. Therefore, I still have to show respect to the Chechen Khan first and then fight with reason."

After about half a stick of incense, the troops of the Chechen Khan tribe appeared in Xue Yun's sight. Prince Babu of the Chechen Khan tribe was five miles away from Xue Yun. The ten entourages came to Xue Yun accompanied by General Yu Siqian of the Xue Family Army.

Xue Yun saw Prince Babu of the Chechen Khan and his party getting closer and closer. Xue Yun also kicked off the oolong horse and stood on the grass to welcome the arrival of Prince Babu of the Chechen Khan and his party.

Soon Prince Babu of the Chechen Khan came to Xue Yun. Xue Yun heard Prince Babu of the Chechen Khan murmuring, but Xue Yun couldn't understand it. This made Xue Yun feel very sad. A concubine, Harizhula, Naren Gaowa, and a lover, Namuzhong, are all Mongols. I feel that the Mongolian language has reached a certain level. How could Xue Yun know it when he met an authentic Mongol? My Mongolian is not bad at 01:30. I can understand the Mongolian of Harizhula, Namuzhong, and Naren Gaowa because my woman is accommodating.

Fortunately, Prince Babu of the Chechen Khan tribe brought an interpreter. This interpreter is a Han. I don’t know if his ancestors are in the Chechen Khan tribe or he is not from the Chinese-language area of ​​the Ming Dynasty. Finally understand the meaning of Prince Babu of the Chechen Khan.

The general idea of ​​Prince Babu of the Chechen Khan is: Dear Ming guests, you have come to our beautiful Erqis River and entered the territory of the Mongolian Chechen Khanate. I don’t know whether you came with friendship or with swords and guns. Come.

Xue Yun listened to the translation by Chechen Khan's interpreter, thinking that Prince Babu of Chechen Khan is a man with a story, his brother-in-law is Han, and there are thousands of Han under his command, so why can't he be equipped with a better interpreter? Maybe Prince Babu and Zhu Youhua, the son-in-law of the golden knife, are not the same way.

Xue Yun saw that his interpreter was already standing beside him, so he said in Chinese: "Xue Yun, the deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei Qianhu, has arrested the traitors Zhu Youhua, Lang Shouyi, etc. according to the emperor's imperial order. Provide convenience, and may the Ming Dynasty and the Chechen Khanate be friendly and forever allies."

Xue Yun's interpreter quickly translated the words into Mongolian and told them to Prince Babu of the Chechen Khan. Prince Babu of the Chechen Khan listened silently for a while, and then said through the interpreter: "General of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youhua is my Chechen Khan. If you are the guest of the Chechen Khanate, you are welcome, and if you are the Chechen Khanate who is looking for trouble, the hunting knives of the Chechen Khanate are also very sharp."

Xue Yun said to Prince Babu through an interpreter: "Prince Babu, I will take people according to the emperor's will, and it does not involve the Chechen Khanate. I hope that Prince Babu can convey goodwill to King Khan Shuolei Khan of Chechnya on behalf of the Ming Dynasty. Please King Shuo Lei Khan can fulfill the mission of going to Mobei."

(The following language is the translation) Prince Babu hesitated for a long time and said: "I can convey the meaning of General Daming, but Zhu Youhua is the son-in-law of Father Khan, and I will definitely not hand it over to Daming."

Xue Yun smiled and said: "Prince Babu can convey the message for me, I am already very grateful."

Prince Babu said: "Then I will trouble General Daming to wait here for a few days."

Xue Yun said: "There is no problem with this, I just hope that King Shuo Lei Khan can make the Ming Dynasty realize its wish."

Prince Babu bid farewell to Xue Yun, and Xue Yun prepared generous gifts for King Shuolei Khan and Prince Babu each based on the principle that many people are not surprised by courtesy. This made Prince Babu a little surprised. The two, now the other party actually gave gifts, especially when Prince Babu saw that the gifts were all high-quality southern products, Prince Babu's usual greedy and extravagant nature came out again.

Xue Yun watched Prince Babu and his party leave, but Xue Yun saw Prince Babu's greedy face. Xue Yun secretly sighed that it would be a tragedy if the Chechen Khanate fell into the hands of Prince Babu, but It may be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty, but Prince Babu has Zhu Youhua who has the old dream of restoring the country by his side. How could a person like Zhu Youhua give up the great territory of Chechen Khan so easily.

Zanhua Jiang Xi, who was always by Xue Yun's side, said: "Young master, this Prince Babu is not reliable, even if Prince Babu is willing to talk to us, the people of Chechen Khan will not agree to let the people of the Ming Dynasty take away their golden sword Consort."

Xue Yun said: "Mr. Jiang, I understand what you said, and I have no intention of getting Chechen Khan to agree to our Ming Dynasty army's action. This is just an excuse. Our priority is to avoid disaster."

Jiang Xi was surprised and said: "Young Master means that."

Xue Yun said to Jiang Xi: "Mr. Jiang, this seat is just a knock on the mountain. As long as Zhu Youhua and Lang Shouyi escape far away, we will be done. If Zhu Youhua and Lang Shouyi can't hold their breath or continue to stay In the same place, there are their delicious fruits."

Jiang Xi asked suspiciously: "Then the imperial court will ask about the results of our march to Mobei, how will our Datong Army explain to the imperial court?"

Xue Yun smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Jiang still needs to know more about the techniques of the Daming warriors. The heads of the people who came all the way north from Datong Mansion are worth thousands of heads. Treat the heads of these Mongolians as remnants of Jianwen. Just leave it to the imperial court, I don't believe that the officials of the Ministry of War will go to the Chechen Khanate to learn about the situation."

Jiang Xi trembled a little after hearing Xue Yun's words, but quickly regained his composure and said, "Young master, it's nothing wrong with Li Daitao being stiff, it's just that we let Lang Shouyi go lightly like this."

Xue Yun said: "Mr. Jiang, the situation in the Chechen Khanate is complicated. The Khanate itself has tens of thousands of armored troops. There are Tushetu Khanate and Zasaktu Khanate nearby, and Chahar Khan is farther away." The country, the Buryat Khan, and many small and medium-sized tribes, it is good to win a battle in such a place, but the whole army may be wiped out if they lose a battle, so in the Chechen Khanate, the best policy is not to fight."

Jiang Xi didn't speak after hearing the silence, Xue Yun continued to explain: "Mr. Jiang, part of the resources in the hands of Zhu Youhua and Lang Shouyi can actually be absorbed by us. Even if we can't absorb them, most of them are still loyal to Emperor Jianwen. We We are from the same root as them, so why bother to be too anxious, what I mean is to shoot people first, shoot horses, capture thieves, and capture the king first, and the main target is on Zhu Youhua, Lang Shouyi and their buddies."

Jiang Xi said: "Young master, then we still have to wait for the answer from the Chechen Khanate."

Xue Yun said with a smile: "How could I be foolishly waiting for the answer from the Chechen Khanate? By that time, maybe tens of thousands of knights from the Chechen Khanate will be waiting. We will go to the place where Zhu Youhua's tent is after two days of rest." The ground, adopt the method of tiger jumping over the wall, let Zhu Youhua, Lang Shouyi and the others mess up their own positions, so that our Xue family army can profit from it."

Jiang Xi nodded after listening to Xue Yun's words, and Xue Yun continued: "Mr. Jiang, we only need to fight Chechen Khan, and the court will be able to deal with it. As for Zhu Youhua, I don't want to beat him to death with a stick. Keeping him might serve as a cover for us."

Jiang Xi said: "The young master means to let Zhu Youhua float on the water, but what about Lang Shouyi?"

Xue Yun said: "Mr. Jiang, there are many things that I don't understand. If Zhu Youhua and Lang Shou are the ones who framed my father, then moving Zhu Youhua now is just to let him live a few more days. As for Lang Shou It is an unforgivable crime for the Shouyi clan to go against the ancestral precept of eternal loyalty to the direct line of Emperor Jianwen, and to take refuge in a side branch without confirming whether the master's line is extinct."

Jiang Xi faltered and wanted to say something, Xue Yun saw it and said: "Mr. Jiang, you can speak up if you have something to say. You and I are open-minded, but it's okay to say it. No matter right or wrong, sir, I will never add any crime."

Jiang Xi then said: "Before the master's accident, Lang Shouyi always wanted his sister to be under the master's name, but the master had a soft spot, which made the Lang family's idea not come true in the end."

Xue Yun was puzzled after hearing Jiang Xi's words: "Could it be that the girls in the Lang family are very poor-looking, but no matter how beautiful or ugly, there is no reason for subordinates to force a girl to marry their master."
