After Temulun sat down, Kancantada picked up the silver flagon on the table, poured a glass of kumiss into the glass, and handed it over.
Temulun took the kumiss with both hands and did not drink it immediately. Instead, he said, "I wonder why Old Taiji sent someone to find me?"
"Try the kumiss from our grassland." Kancantada raised his hand to indicate to him to drink the kumiss from the cup, while he walked to the side and sat down behind the low table.
Temulun picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and immediately said: "It still tastes the same as before, very good. It's a pity that there are fewer people willing to drink it now. Even herders have begun to like drinking sorghum brew."
After speaking, he put down the wine glass in his hand.
"Sorghum wine is good, and I like to drink it too, but kumis is our own wine." Kancantada picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Temulun said with a smile: "What Lao Taiji said is that mare's kumiss is the wine of the grassland. Although the sorghum wine of Tiger Character Banner is good wine, it is the wine of the Ming Dynasty after all."
"It's Temulun, you can see clearly." Kankantada smiled while stroking his beard, and then said, "I heard that after we all left the sweat tent, you went back again?"
He picked up the flagon and refilled his glass with wine.
Temulun hesitated for a moment and then said: "The Great Khan sent Zhamuhe to take me back to the Khan's tent and talk about some things."
"Can you tell me what's going on?" Kancantada held up the wine glass and looked at Temulun beside him.
Temulun did not answer the question, but pointed to the silver wine jug on the low table and said with a smile: "The kumiss here at Lao Taiji tastes better than the one at my place."
"If you like drinking, I will ask someone to bring you some when you go back." Kankantada replied, and then said, "Actually, I can guess some even if you don't tell me. I think Dahan is here to discuss with you. Negotiating peace with Tiger Character Banner."
Hearing this, Temulun paused, looked at Kancantada helplessly and said, "Since Lao Taiji already knows, why bother asking me."
He had no idea that such a secret matter would be known to Kancantada so quickly.
"I'm just guessing. I didn't expect it to be true." Kankantada frowned.
Temulun said: "The Great Khan does intend to withdraw his troops and wants to negotiate with the Tiger Flag, but Lao Taiji can rest assured that the Great Khan has given up this idea now."
"You persuade me so much?" Kankantada's eyes fell on Temulun's face, and he immediately said, "In the past, you were the most supportive of cooperation with the Tiger-Charactered Banner. Later, all the ministries and agencies were targeting the Tiger-Charactered Banner, but only You advised the Great Khan not to do this, but I never expected that you would persuade the Great Khan not to have peace talks with the Tiger Flag."
Bu Shitu only saw Te Mulun in the Khan tent, so he was able to persuade Bu Shitu to give up the peace talks with the Tiger Flag. He knew that only Te Mulun had this opportunity.
Temulun filled his cup with kumis and said, "I have been drinking kumis since I was a child. Although the sorghum wine from the Tiger Character Banner is delicious, my favorite drink is the kumis from our Mongolian people."
Hearing this, Kankantada laughed.
He understood the meaning of Temulun's words, and also understood Temulun's attitude towards the Tiger Flag.
"Is Lao Tai Ji confident that he can deal with the tiger-character flag troops in front of him?" Temulun turned to Kankantada and asked.
Kankantada stroked his beard and said: "As long as I can borrow soldiers and horses from Mobei, I am absolutely sure to win the soldiers and horses with the Tiger Flag in front of me."
"It's good that Old Taiji knows what he's doing." Temulun nodded and said immediately, "If we lose again, I'm afraid no one will be able to persuade him. Old Taiji should be cautious."
Kankantada nodded solemnly and said: "Actually, if all the ministries were united and the soldiers fought to the death, we wouldn't need to go to Mobei to borrow troops. It's a pity that there have been frequent conflicts among the ministries in recent years. We want to work together to fight the enemy. It’s difficult, so I can only go to Mobei to borrow troops and command more soldiers to deal with the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag."
"Old Taiji is interested." Temulun bowed to Kancantada.
He understood that the old Taiji in front of him was the one who was really wholeheartedly dealing with the Tiger Flag. The Taijis in other ministries, including the Great Khan, were all for their own benefit and thinking about how to get more information from the Tiger Flag. Many benefits.
Kankantada smiled and said: "If all the ministries were like Temulun and understood the righteousness, I believe that the Tiger Character Banner would not have the courage to build a fort on the grassland."
"Lao Taiji is overrated." Temulun said modestly.
The two of them drank a few glasses of kumiss together. Temulun thought that there were still things that needed to be done in the tribe, so he said goodbye.
Kankantada personally sent Temulun away and did not return to the yurt until they were far away.
……………………
After a big battle, the Mongolian camp became quiet.
The herdsmen brought by each tribe were grazing on the grassland as usual, and the soldiers from each tribe also stayed in the yurts and were no longer called up to fight against the Tiger Banner.
There is no need to fight, and all the tribes and groups are relaxed, drinking and dancing in their yurts.
After a few days of dissipation, the bloody smell around the Tiger Flag Dunbao is no longer smellable. However, there are often Mongolian sentries cruising on this grassland.
Similarly, the armored cavalry of the Tiger Banner often walked out of the camp and fought with the Mongolian sentry cavalry on the grassland.
The Mongolian sentry cavalry can be considered an elite among the tens of thousands of Mongolian troops, but they have never won against the armored cavalry wearing breastplates and iron helmets.
After suffering losses many times, the Mongolian sentry cavalry became wise and did not come into contact with the armored cavalry of the Tiger Flag at all. When they saw the armored cavalry of the Tiger Flag approaching from a distance, they immediately rode away.
In terms of equestrian skills, there is still some gap between the armored cavalry and the Mongolians who have grown up on horseback. Coupled with the weight of the breastplates on their bodies, it is difficult to catch up with the Mongolian sentries who have fled far away.
The armored cavalry of the Tiger Banner would run away every time they saw the Mongolian sentry cavalry far away, and would no longer pursue them. They only ensured that the Mongolian sentry cavalry would no longer appear around the fort and camp.
The Mongolian army was no longer attacking, and Chen Xunping did not take the initiative to provoke.
Zhang Sancha, who stayed in the Dunbao, received the notice of the meeting and rushed back to the camp where Chen Xunping was stationed with two staff officers from the war camp.
Returning to the camp's main tent, Chen Xunping was already waiting inside with several senior officers from the military camp.
There is a wooden table in the big tent, with several benches on the opposite side.
As soon as Zhang Sancha came back, he and Chen Xunping sat behind the wooden table, and everyone else sat on the bench opposite.
This time, the captain of the thousand-man team was not notified to participate in the meeting, so the number of people in the big tent did not seem to be many, less than ten.
Chen Xunping's messengers poured water from tea jars for everyone who participated in the meeting. After doing this, they exited the big tent. At this time, there were already soldiers stationed outside the big tent.
