On the grassland, a convoy of several hundred people passed in front of a fort, leaving a rut mark behind the large vehicle.
The forts of the Tiger Character Flag on the grassland have been built up to the Dahei River, and the isolated Dahei River fort is also connected with other forts.
With the end of the war between the Tiger Banner and Tumut, the Tiger Banner war barracks and heavy supply battalions that remained on the grassland were stationed in the Dunbao.
"Shopkeeper Li, you have imprisoned me for so long, can you please let me go back?" Qula Kashen looked at Li Shuheng in the room.
Since the last time the tribe was attacked by the cavalry of the Tiger Flag, he fell into the hands of the Tiger Flag and became a prisoner of the Tiger Flag.
Li Shuheng put his hands on the stove to warm himself, and said: "You Mongolians don't have stoves to keep warm. It's better to stay here and talk about going back after this winter."
The first snow has fallen on the grassland, and the weather has suddenly turned cold. Tiger Flag has already prepared a stove in the fort on the grassland to keep warm.
In addition to stoves, a lot of coal was also transported in four-wheeled carts to ensure the demand for coal in these forts on the grassland.
"We Mongolians don't need to use your Han stoves to keep warm. We have our own fur coats and dried dung, which can also be used for heating." Zulakashen retorted.
He has been captured in the castle for a long time, and he wants to leave here all the time and return to his pasture.
Li Shuheng turned over the roasted sweet potatoes on the stove cover with his hands, and said: "Palakashentaiji, although you are a prisoner, we have never treated you badly since you came to my place. , why are you so anxious to go back? You have to understand that it may not be a good thing for you to go back now. As a prisoner of our Tiger Flag, do you think Shitu will easily spare you?"
As he said that, he turned his head and looked at Zulakashen who was sitting a few steps away.
After hearing this, Zulakashen hesitated for a moment, and then said: "According to the rules on the grassland, since I have become a prisoner of your Tiger Flag, I am willing to redeem myself."
The Mongols not only killed captives, they could also use their wealth to redeem them. During conquests between tribes on the grasslands, captives were often redeemed from each other.
Usually this method is only used on Mongolian nobles with a certain status. Ordinary herdsmen cannot afford the ransom to redeem people.
"You said this just after you were captured by our people." Li Shuheng smiled and said immediately, "Even if I put you back, what will you use to redeem yourself?"
Zhula Kashen frowned and said: "I have my own tribe. Although it is not a big tribe, there are thousands of people and a lot of cattle, sheep and horses. No matter how much you ask for, you will agree to let me go back. As long as If I can take it out, I can use it all in exchange for my freedom."
"It seems that Taiji did not understand what I just said." Li Shuheng said, "Since Taiji was captured here, the people, cattle and sheep in the Taiji tribe have been divided up by other tribes, and the largest part of them fell into Put it in the Divination Stone Rabbit’s pocket.”
"This is impossible." Zulakashen stood up abruptly.
Shi Bin, who was in the room, took a step forward and stood in front of Li Shuheng.
Li Shuheng waved his hand towards Shi Bin, motioning for him to push him away, and then said to Kankantada: "I believe you know Taiji whether the matter is true or not. With the relationship between Taiji and Bu Shitu, even without our prisoners You, Bu Shitu will not let you go after this big defeat."
"Nonsense, it's impossible for the Great Khan to do such a thing, I don't believe it." Zula Kashen's eyes were slightly red, his hands were clenched into fists, and his eyes were fixed on Li Shuheng.
Li Shuheng poked the sweet potato on the stove lid twice with his hand, turned it over, and said: "Taiji, you don't have to admit it. Since you offended Bushitu and Su Nang, there is no place for you in Tumut." , otherwise Taiji would not have been left here in the Dahei River by the fortune-telling rabbit, just to keep an eye on us."
This time Gulakashen did not speak.
He did offend Bu Shitu and Su Nang because of some things.
"The sweet potato is roasted, here's a piece." Li Shuheng picked up a piece of sweet potato with the animal skin and handed it to Zala Kashen.
Zhula Kashen did not answer, but said: "I have been imprisoned by you in the castle for so long. Can you tell me what is happening on the grassland?"
Although he had not been abused by a pastor since he became a prisoner, he was completely cut off from outside news.
Li Shuheng broke open the sweet potato in his hand. The aroma was fragrant. He took a bite and chewed it while saying: "Shortly after you were captured, the tens of thousands of troops led by Bu Shitu were also defeated. Before winter, each tribe brought warriors with them." Returning to his pasture to prepare for the winter, the fortune telling rabbit also returned to Qingcheng."
As he spoke, he took another bite of the sweet potato in his hand.
The sweet potato was a bit hot to his mouth, making him suck in air.
"I know all this. You and your people celebrated for a whole day at that time." Zhu Lakashen said.
The information he got was all from the people in the Dunbao. The people in the Tiger Banner did not hide such a big thing as the Great Khan's withdrawal of troops and returned to Qingcheng, so he also knew the news.
Li Shuheng swallowed the sweet potato in his mouth and said: "As soon as Bu Shitu returned to Qingcheng, he started to attack your tribe to make up for the losses of the defeat. Now the wealth and people of your tribe have become the property of others." You thing, now you only have the identity of Taiji."
"I don't believe it." Qula Kashen said with wide eyes.
After Li Shuheng ate the last piece of sweet potato in his hand, he said: "Do you think I need to lie to you about this matter? With Shitu's disgust towards you, you should have expected this result."
Julakashen fell back on the bench with a dejected look on his face.
"There is no way for you to survive if you go back. Shitu will not let you go. It is better to stay with me. Even if you are a prisoner in name, you will not be treated badly. At most, your freedom will be restricted and you will not be able to survive." Leave the Dunbao." Li Shuheng looked at Qula Kashen.
Qula Kashen also looked at Li Shuheng and said, "Can you let the soldiers who were captured with me go back?"
"It seems that you still don't want to believe what I say. That's fine. Then let a soldier next to you go back and let him see for you whether what I said is true or false. That might make you give up completely." Li Shuheng agreed. Rakash's request.
Julakashen's tribe was indeed annexed by other tribes, and he did not lie to deceive Julakashen.
"Thank you very much." Zula Kashen bowed to Li Shuheng and said immediately, "If what you said is true, I can agree to your terms and stay."
Li Shuheng smiled and said: "Have I lied to you? I will find out when your people go back. I might as well tell you something else. In the coming year, our Tiger Flag and Tumut will definitely have a battle. Taiji is still early." Make plans.”
