Back in the Tiger Flag tent, sitting on the mat, Zhang Sancha had an angry look on his face and punched the ground heavily with his fist.
"What's going on? Are you so angry?" Lao Wu walked in from outside.
Chen Wu on the side explained: "We were fooled by Wang Qifu. The Fan family guy who was bribed by Captain Zhang was deliberately arranged by Wang Qifu. Even the Mongolian nobleman we met tonight was bribed by Wang Qifu."
Lao Wu's face darkened and he said in a deep voice: "So all this is a trap deliberately set by Wang Qifu, just to prevent our Tiger Banner from contacting the Mongolian nobles and to prevent smuggling between our Tiger Banner and the Beibei." .”
"It's all my fault, I was too careless." Zhang Sancha said regretfully.
Lao Wu waved his hand and said, "You can't be entirely blamed for this. The Fan family is not stupid. The head of the family sent us to escort the Fan family's caravan to the grassland. It's impossible for them to not guess the reason at all. It's okay to take precautions against us in advance." It’s normal.”
"But I failed to handle the matter assigned by the boss." Zhang Sancha said in a bad mood.
"It's not like there's no chance." Lao Wu said.
Zhang Sancha and Chen Wu looked at Lao Wu curiously.
At this time, I heard Lao Wu continue: "Remember the Mongolian general who wanted to rob the Fan family's fleet?"
Zhang Sancha nodded.
Lao Wu continued: "When I knew that he was the general beside Tumut Khan, I asked Tan Zaiwang to chase him on horseback. I should have caught up by now."
Zhang Sancha said in confusion: "The Mongolians who do business with the Fan family are all Taiji from Guihua City. Taiji from Qingcheng and Taiji from Guihua City have always been at odds because of the dispute over the throne. We We came to Guihua City with the Fan family again, will Taiji from Qingcheng agree to cooperate with us?"
There was some disbelief in his expression.
Lao Wu said: "Apart from this, do you have any other options?"
"This..." Zhang Sancha was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said, "This is the only way."
The road to Guihua City has been blocked by the Fan family, and the only option they have left is Qingcheng.
………………
"Zamuka, I caught a Nanman." A short and stocky Mongolian man walked out of the tent.
A Mongolian who was sitting in the tent said: "Zamuka, I think he is Mingren's spy, so I might as well kill him directly."
Jamukha said nothing.
The short and stocky Mongolian man said: "I saw that Nanman in the Fan family's motorcade. He said he wanted to see you Jamuka?"
"See me?" Jamuheyi frowned and said, "Bring him in."
Not long after, a tied-up Ming man was escorted into the tent by two Mongolian armored soldiers.
"You want to see me?" Jamuhe looked at Akito in front of him.
"I'm Tan Zaiwang of the tiger-character flag. Is this how you Mongolians treat guests?" Tan Zaiwang looked directly at Jamukha in front of him.
There was no fear at all from him.
"You have some courage as a southern barbarian." Jamukha said, "I will give you a chance to speak. Tell me, what do you want to see me for?"
Tan Zaiwang looked down at the rope tied to his body and said, "Should we untie the rope first?"
There were still many Mongolians in the big tent. Jamukh was not worried that the Akito in front of him would run away. He immediately waved his hand and said, "Untie him."
Two Mongolian armored soldiers on the side came up and untied the rope that tied Tan Zaiwang.
Tan Zaiwang moved his red wrists and said, "I am from the Tiger Flag, and I am here to discuss cooperation with you, the Great Khan."
"Haha, what a joke. A southern barbarian actually said so boldly that he wanted to discuss cooperation with the Great Khan." The short and stocky Mongolian next to him seemed to have heard the funniest thing.
Jamukha looked at Tan Zaiwang and said, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Of course it's clear," Tan Zaiwang said, "The Fan family cooperates with Su Nang Taiji of Guihua City, so why can't we, the Tiger-Character Banner, cooperate with you, the Great Khan!"
"Wait a minute." Jamukha frowned and said immediately, "Are you not from the Fan family?"
Tan Zaiwang said proudly: "No."
"Then why did you go to Guihua City with the Fan family?" Jamuhe asked confused.
Tan Zaiwang said: "The last time the Fan family came to the grassland, the goods of a convoy were robbed by horse bandits, so they asked us people from the Tiger Flag to escort their convoy to Guihua City."
Jamukha nodded in understanding, and then said: "Why do you want to cooperate with our Khan? I don't think there is anything you can do to cooperate with our Khan."
The short and stocky Mongolian also said: "Our Great Khan has our Mongolian warriors beside us, so we don't need the protection of you southern barbarians."
Tan Zaiwang raised his hand and said, "The general misunderstood. It was our Tiger Character Banner who cooperated with the Great Khan."
"It's all the same." Jamuka waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "If you just tell me this, forget it. Since you are not a spy of Mingren, I can let you go."
After speaking, he waved his hand and motioned to the Mongolian armored soldiers on the side to take Tan Zaiwang away.
Tan Zaiwang did not move, but said: "We can also do the cooperation between the Fan family and Guihua City, and we can do it better than the Fan family."
After saying this, Jamukha, who had originally asked Tan Zaiwang to be taken away, suddenly said: "Wait a minute."
Two Mongolian armored soldiers who had already grabbed Tan Zaiwang and were about to drag him out stopped.
Tan Zaiwang flicked his arms, pulled out his two arms from the Mongolian armored soldiers, and said: "What the Fan family can sell to you, our Tiger Character Banner can also do, and our Tiger Character Banner has its own iron farm. The Fan family All the ironware is also bought from our Huzi Banner Iron Works."
Jamuka frowned and said, "Why should I believe what you say? And the tiger-character flag you mentioned, I've never even heard of it."
Seeing that the other party did not object directly, Tan Zaiwang was relieved and said: "When our Tiger Flag convoy arrives in Qingcheng, we will know whether what I said is the truth."
Jamukha thought for a while and said: "I can't make the decision on this matter. Tomorrow you will come back to Qingcheng with me to see the Great Khan."
"Okay." Tan Zaiwang agreed happily.
Jamuka said to the Mongolian armored soldier on the side: "Take him down to rest."
This time, the two Mongolian soldiers did not go to arrest Tan Zaiwang, but followed Tan Zaiwang and left the tent together.
After the others left, a Mongolian sitting cross-legged in the tent said, "Jamukha, do you really want to take him to see the Great Khan?"
Jamuka nodded and said: "Anzabu, I know you don't like the Ming people, but the cooperation between the Fan family and Su Nang has made the Great Khan extremely dissatisfied. If there are other Ming people who are willing to come to Qingcheng, I believe the Great Khan will definitely Will be willing to meet you."
"Damn the Fan family, I have long said that these Ming merchants should not be allowed to come to our Tumut grassland. They should be dragged to death on the grassland by horses." Anzabu said with an angry look.
"Okay." Jamuka said with dissatisfaction, "Don't question the Khan's decision again, or I will teach you a lesson."
Anzabu snorted without saying anything. He picked up the kumiss on the table and took a swig.
