As the sun sets, the desert in the dusk is littered with corpses, with broken limbs and broken arms everywhere. The flesh and blood of humans and horses are mixed together, stained with yellow sand.
Batu's army was invading Heshan's camp. Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling were watching behind him and found that there was no massacre as expected. After all, they are from the same clan. Once the "chief culprit" is eliminated and the flags in the camp are changed, they will directly become Batu's power. The change is so easy that it doesn't even take an hour.
In fact, this is not only true for people of the same ethnic group, but also for different ethnic groups, and the snowball gets bigger and bigger.
However, different ethnic groups often form a "franchise" nature, which is different from the system in China.
On the contrary, Herei was once considered a loyal subordinate who truly surrendered to Timur, otherwise he would not have been sent to the Central Plains to cause trouble like a special soldier. Precisely because he is on the Earth Ranking, he knows better than anyone else how terrible it is to be ranked third on the Heavenly Ranking.
But Batu has no such understanding, and ignorance makes him fearless.
Zhao Changhe secretly accused Batu of being ignorant and fearless, and Batu also looked at the couple with sideways eyes, secretly exclaiming that the couple were fearless.
Do you really dare to follow two people like this? Are you not afraid that you will turn around and tie them up and give them to the Khan?
But he knew he didn't dare.
Batu had experienced the Yangzhou incident, and Chi Li had once analyzed to him that Zhao Changhe was probably a member of the Suppressing Demon Division, that is, a member of the Daxia official, and his intention to come here to cause trouble was obvious. And his current behavior has definitely angered the Khan. Although he may not be punished, it would be pure stupidity if he does not leave a way out for himself. Zhao Changhe is the way out for him, how can he dare to offend easily?
Even though he knew that he had been deceived by his identity as a Maitreya teacher, he did not dare to express his anger. Instead, he showed a generous and hospitable smile: "Come here, put the wine on the table. I want to entertain friends!"
It was said that they were having a banquet, but everyone in the tent retreated. Only the three of them sat in the tent, smiling with their own evil intentions.
Yue Hongling crossed her arms angrily: "When did you and him become friends again?"
Zhao Changhe pulled her to sit down and blinked: "Brother Batu and I had a fight in Yangzhou. We are both enemies and friends. We cherish each other."
Batu also said: "Just now, Miss Yue saved me, Batu would like to thank you."
As he said this, he picked up the wine bowl and drank it first as a token of respect.
Yue Hongling said with a straight face: "I'm just robbing the horse."
In fact, everyone knows that saving Batu can have strategic significance, and it is tacitly understood.
Batu followed what he heard and said about the horse: "That's a bloody horse from the Western Regions. Someone donated the colt when my uncle went south, but he didn't come back... The horse was taken over by the shameless Heshan himself."
Zhao Changhe said: "In other words, should this horse belong to you?"
Batu waved his hand: "In other words, if Miss Yue captured it during the battle, then it belongs to Miss Yue."
When both parties said this, they both paused for a moment. There was no topic for a while, and they didn't know how to start something more in-depth.
When Zhao Changhe claimed to be Fa Dian, he told Batu the most serious words: Brother Batu, I suggest you put away your luck. The person who wants to swallow up the Qin tribe is none other than the Great Khan.
It was this sentence that prompted Batu to swing his sword at Hu Lie, then raise an army to destroy the wild wolves, unite the lions, and start his own tribe's resistance for survival.
But there is a premise, that is, "Fa Dian" claims that "our potential power is great." Batu feels that with foreign help, he dares to think.
It turns out that this bastard is not a fadian. This is Zhao Changhe, and the foreign aid has become Daxia... Although he knew that this was the only way, but his uncle had just died in Daxia, and Batu couldn't get over it for a while.
The two sides were silent for a long time, and then Zhao Changhe took a long sip of kumis and said, "Logically, there should be many people from Ubalu looking for me near this mountain. Why can't I see you?"
Batu came back to his senses and said casually: "They are looking for you on the top of the mountain where you disappeared... Actually there are not many people, most of them have already withdrawn. There is even less people here."
"Withdrawn?"
"Of course, how could Ubalu leave his army in the mountains to find just two people?" Batu paused and sneered: "He was mediating between Heshan and me, but my army set off early and deliberately let their envoy attack It’s a waste of time and we can end this war ahead of schedule. The so-called mediation is nothing more than splitting my tribe in half for a long time. How can I do what he wants?”
Zhao Changhe said: "Then will he come to beat you?"
"Now, his troops are much smaller than mine."
"Then do you dare to hit him?"
"Ubalu is the commander sent by the Great Khan to Huangshaji. If you touch him, you will touch the Great Khan."
"Do you still expect the Great Khan to be kind to you? Or are you just content to unify the tribe and turn around and kneel down to Timur?"
Batu was speechless.
When he unified the War Lion tribe, he became a powerful group of princes. When Timur fought in the decisive battle at Yanmen, it was unlikely that he would have trouble with him. Most likely, he would acquiesce in his position as War Lion Khan and then attack Yanmen together.
But it’s hard to say whether they will fall out afterwards.
The logic of the grassland is very simple. If you want to avoid falling out afterward, you must be stronger.
It's not like Batu doesn't have an overall plan... Hu Lie still has it in his hands. The next step is to rely on this tribe to intimidate Hu Lie. If they can try to annex it, even if they can't annex it, they can exchange it for a large number of cattle, sheep and horses. At that time, the forces will really be able to compete with the Great Khan. Even if the Great Khan wants to fall out, he will have to consider the consequences.
In other words, he does not necessarily count on Zhao Changhe, a foreign aid from Daxia who cannot reach the grassland at all. This is just a fallback path and is actually of relatively little significance. The best strategy is actually to reconcile with the Khan, declare surrender, obey the command to attack Yanmen, and at the same time plot against the Hulie tribe.
Thinking of this, he didn't even want to socialize with Zhao Changhe too much. If the secret communication with Zhao Changhe got to the ears of the Khan, it would be a big problem.
Just as he was thinking this, a soldier came in and hurried to Batu's side, whispering in a low voice.
Batu frowned and listened, then suddenly smiled at Zhao Changhe: "It's already dark. Brother Zhao will stay here tonight. I have other things to deal with. I won't be with you for now. Don't be rude."
Zhao Changhe was eating mutton and drinking wine by himself, and said nonchalantly: "Go ahead, go ahead."
Batu smiled and said: "You two may not have lived in a tent on the grassland. It would be good to experience it once."
After saying that, he quickly left, and the guest tent turned directly into a guest house.
Zhao Changhe gnawed on the leg of lamb, turned around and smiled at Yue Hongling: "Everything is good in the belly of the mountain, except that there is no food. It is purely filled with energy, and a bird appears in his mouth. Here he gnaws on the roasted leg of lamb and drinks koumiss. It feels so good.”
Yue Hongling sipped her wine: "This wine is fishy, I don't like it."
Zhao Changhe said: "Want to drink Zhongyuan wine here?"
Yue Hongling said: "What's your idea?"
Zhao Changhe stood up, opened a small crack in the tent and looked outside. There were many torches outside, and some guards were patrolling back and forth, staring nervously.
He smiled slightly: "Batu is too rough in doing things... Let a pig analyze this situation. Everyone should know that Ubalu's envoy has arrived."
Yue Hongling nodded: "Yes."
"Batu was not pushed to a dead end, and he did not make the decision to completely fall out with the Great Khan Timur. He still considered using the powerful tribe as the backing to make Timur have some scruples and be able to unite the battle. If he continues with this idea , we have created a brand new War Lion tribe with our own hands, to take part in the attack on Yanmen instead of He Lei."
Yue Hongling knew what he meant: "Not only that, if he makes a complete decision, then both of us will be sacrificed."
"There is no such thing as cheap." Under the firelight, Zhao Changhe's eyes were a little cruel: "He can't make a decision, let's help him make a decision... It's just the same trick in front of the Wang family."
Yue Hongling looked at her lover's side face with admiration in her eyes.
When Ubalu's envoy died in Batu's tent, the Great Khan would not listen to your excuses. Batu was speechless and had no other choice but to go all the way to Daxia.
It's like killing Maitreya's messenger in front of Wang Daoning. Maitreya was not at the scene. He would only think that Wang Daoning's majestic heavenly list could not protect the messenger. This was intentional. It's the same here. Among tens of thousands of troops, someone assassinated the envoy? If not you yourself, who else could you want to kill, Meng Gui?
However, among thousands of troops, how can assassinating an envoy be compared to a small fight in front of the Wang family?
Zhao Changhe turned to look at her and said with a smile: "This is where tens of thousands of troops are. Are you afraid, my heroine?"
Yue Hongling smiled slightly: "If we join hands with you, we will have millions of soldiers in front of us, so why should we be afraid?"
"Then let's go, it's a dark and windy night that kills people."
