Suheba Beast smiled and said: "Gunbutaiji, don't be anxious first. Let me explain to you. The reason why we go to Xuanfu instead of Yulin Town is because Xuanfu is closer. We really want to go." It takes a lot of time to go back and forth to Yulin Town. Once we miss fattening the horses, cattle and sheep, this winter will be difficult."
After saying that, he looked at Tuxie Tuhan Gonbu.
"Gunbu Taiji, this time you should understand why we did not go to Yulin Town but to Xuanfu instead, right?" Harbala said to Tushetu Khan Gonbu with a round face and a smile.
After hearing this explanation, Tushetu Khan Gonbu frowned and was a little undecided. He didn't know whether he should continue to carry out the will of Seraktan Taiji or follow the wishes of the two Taijis of the Ulut tribe. Choose to go to Xuanfu.
Just when he was undecided, he heard Bilegon from the Chechen Khan tribe saying: "I agree to go to Xuanfu. After all, they are all border towns of the Ming Dynasty. They are the same everywhere."
"Gunbu Taiji, what do you mean?" Harbala asked Xiangtu Shetu Khan Gonbu again.
Bilegon was just a Taiji of the Chechen Khan tribe, but Gunbu was one of the three Khans of Mobei. He didn't want to let the choice between the Ulut tribe and the Tuxietu Khan tribe go to Yulin Town and Xuanfu. It was unpleasant.
"Gunbutaiji, Suheba Beastaiji's words are very reasonable. Sooner or later we have to return to Mobei. If we stay in Tumut for too long, many cattle and sheep will freeze to death this winter. The life of herdsmen You won't be able to survive either." Bilegong persuaded Gunbu from the side.
The winter on the grassland is very cold and long. It is difficult for the fatless cattle, sheep and horses to survive the long winter.
Gunbu first looked at Bilegon, and finally fell on Halbala and Sukhba beast in front of him, and said: "Since you are all willing to go to Xuanfu, then go to Xuanfu!"
He did not want to offend the people of the Ulut Tribe and the Chechen Khan Tribe. These two tribes were also large tribes with some strength on the grassland and were no weaker than the Tushetu Khan Tribe.
At the same time, he also considered the problem of herdsmen surviving the winter. Summer is almost over, autumn is the last season for herds to gain fat, and hay for the winter must be prepared during this season. He brought thousands of warriors from Mobei to Tumut. , will definitely delay herdsmen from taking care of their herds.
"Haha, I knew you would agree, Gunbu." Halbala laughed, and then said, "Don't go back later. I have arranged for the people below to prepare roasted lamb and stuffed sorghum."
Since he agreed to go to Xuanfu, Gunbu stopped thinking about this and said with a smile: "A jar of sorghum brew can be exchanged for two lambs in Mobei. Often, even the lambs cannot be exchanged for the tiger-character flag sorghum. wine."
"Haha, don't worry. When you return to Mobei, I will have someone prepare ten jars of sorghum brew for you to take back." Harbala said with a smile.
Before the Tumut tribe fell out with the Tiger Banner, their Ulut tribe had obtained a lot of sorghum brewing through the Tiger Banner and saved a batch. Now that they have fallen out with the Tiger Banner, their Ulut tribe has not. There is a lack of sorghum to brew.
Gunbu nodded and said with a smile: "Then I'm not polite. To be honest, after drinking the sorghum wine from Tiger Character Flag, other wines taste boring."
"It's a pity that we have fallen out with the Tiger Character Banner, otherwise I could prepare some more sorghum wine for you to take back to Mobei." Harbala added some peeling to his lower lip on the tip of his tongue.
Gunbu said with a smile: "When Seraktan Taiji takes over the Tiger Flag, we will let the people of the Tiger Flag make wine for each ministry. We can drink as much as we want, and we will have enough."
"That's right. We have taken down the Tiger Flag, and we can drink as much as we want." Harbala laughed.
Several people were sitting around the campfire.
A whole lamb that had been skinned and washed was placed on a rack and roasted on the fire. There were guards nearby who occasionally turned the roasted lamb on the fire.
Sorghum wine is always served in wine bags, and everyone keeps a wine bag at hand.
To go to Yulin Town, you need to pass through the grasslands of Baguang Palace and the Ordos Department, and then turn to Xuanfu. There is no need to go to the Ordos Department. Tumut's own grassland is connected to several border forts in the Xuanfu. Chinese writing
As soon as tens of thousands of Mongolian troops appeared on the grasslands outside Xuanfu, smoke billowed out from the side forts. At the same time, there were fast horses delivering messages to Xuanfu.
Xuanfu is an important border town, with not only the General Military Mansion but also the Governor-General's Mansion.
After Yang Guozhu was transferred to Datong as deputy commander-in-chief, the man who took over as commander-in-chief of Xuanfu was Wang Bao, who was born as a general. His ancestor was a founding hero. It had been passed down to his generation for several generations, and the title did not fall to him.
"Sir, there is smoke rising from the north." Chen Gong, a staff member of the General Military Mansion, came quickly from outside to see Wang Bao, with a nervous look on his face.
The smoke rising from the wolf is a big deal, and people living in the border areas all know what is going on.
Wang Bao raised his eyelids and glanced at him, and said in a calm tone: "I was really told by the people of the Tiger Flag. I didn't expect the Mongols to invade the border."
"Sir, should we hurry up and send troops to support the several border forts in the north? Stop the Mongols from entering Xuanfu territory." Chen Gongyi suggested.
Wang Bao tapped his fingers lightly on the table, pondered for a while, and said: "There is no rush to send troops over. You first go and tell the people in the Tiger Flag that the Mongols are invading the border."
"Ah!" Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said in confusion, "Sir, the Mongols invaded the border and broke down the door. We should have sent troops to intercept them earlier. Why did we have to tell the people of the Tiger Flag? Although the Tiger Flag The proprietor behind the flag, Liu Heng, is a guerrilla general, but he is a guerrilla general from Datong. He has no will and cannot lead his troops to support Xuanfu."
Wang Bao pursed his lips, waved his hands, and said: "It doesn't matter where he is a guerrilla general. The key is that the invading Mongolian army was attracted by the Tiger Flag."
"This is impossible, the Tiger Character Flag is..." Halfway through his words, Chen Gong was stunned, and then suddenly realized, "I understand, you want to tell the people of the Tiger Character Flag that you want us to stop and commit crimes against Xuan Mansion. The Mongolian army must show sincerity."
As he spoke, he made twirling movements with his fingers.
Wang Baolanxu smiled and said: "Now that you understand, let's go quickly. If it's too late, the Mongolian army will enter the territory of Xuanfu."
"Don't worry, sir. I'll go and send the message right away." Chen Gong laughed, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked, "Sir, how much should we allow the people of the Tiger Flag to pay?"
Wang Bao thought for a while and said: "It is said that the Tiger Flag has mountains of gold and silver seas. If there is no shortage of that little silver, let them give it again according to the amount they sent last time."
"I understand." Chen Gong saluted Wang Bao, turned around and walked out.
The Tiger Flag has its own shop in Xuanfu, and the Chamber of Commerce in Xuanfu is also dominated by the Tiger Flag. Especially after the Fan family retreated to Zhangjiakou, the Tiger Flag became the overlord of the Xuanfu business community.
On a busy street not far from the General Military Mansion, there is a grain shop opened by Tiger Flag.
Chen Gong appeared outside the gate of the grain store with several servants from the General Military Mansion.
"Leave two people guarding the door, and the others will follow me in." Chen Gong told his servants and walked into the shop with eight-figure steps.
The servants who entered the shop were all wearing helmets and armor, with knives on their waists. They all had fierce faces, and they were not easy to mess with at first glance.
Some customers who were about to buy food dared to stay in the shop when they saw these soldiers armed with sharp swords breaking in.
After a while, only Chen Gong and the servants wearing helmets were left in the shop.
