Mongolians are fond of wine, and the Tumut tribe was the first grassland tribe to come into contact with the Tiger-Character Banner. As the great Khan of the Tumut tribe, Bu Shitu had accumulated a lot of Tiger-Character Banner sorghum wine, enough to last a year. .
After the banquet, the drunk Mongolian Taiji walked out of the Khan Palace one after another.
"Taiji." Morigen walked towards Kankantada who came out of the Khan Palace.
Kankantada's cheeks were flushed, his eyes were blurred, and he mixed garlic under his feet while walking. But the moment he saw Mo Rigen, he woke up from his drunken state.
Some Taijis who had just walked out of the Khan Palace saw Morigen coming to look for Kankantada, and they all walked away from Kankantada wisely.
Kankantada took Mo Zhigen to an open space with no one nearby, burping wine and saying, "Did you find anything when you came back this time?"
"Everything is normal." Mo Rigen shook his head and then said, "But there is one thing that is very strange, and my subordinates have not figured it out yet."
Kankantada raised his eyelids and said, "What can't you figure out?"
"This time, my subordinates were monitoring the movements of the Tiger-Character Banner on the Dahei River. They saw a cavalry team from the Tiger-Character Banner leaving the fort on the Dahei River and going to another fort sixty or seventy miles away. We stayed overnight and returned the next day." Mo Rigen said what he didn't understand.
Kankantada frowned slightly and said, "Do you think this is abnormal?"
"My subordinates can't say," Morigen said. "Normally, the cavalrymen of the Tiger Banner will leave the fort and circle around nearby, but they have never been so far away and spent the night in another fort. That never happened.”
Kancantada looked thoughtful, rubbing his thumb back and forth on the second joint of his index finger.
After a while, he asked: "Besides these, are there any other things?"
"No more." Mo Rigen shook his head.
Kancantada said: "You continue to lead people to keep an eye on the fort at the Dahei River. The soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag may cross the river at any time. You must keep an eye on it."
"Yes." Mo Rigen nodded in agreement.
He did not stay longer in the Khan Palace. He returned to his companions alone and left Qingcheng again with other sentries.
The guard Chaqake who was following Kankantada said from the side: "Taiji, what Mo Rigen said is not really a problem, right?"
"It shouldn't be a big deal." Kancantada said, "Most of the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag are infantry, and the number of cavalry is limited. As long as the infantry of the Tiger Flag are not mobilized, there will be no big problem."
After hearing this, Chaqake smiled and said: "Taiji, do you really believe that the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag dare to attack Qingcheng? I admit that their soldiers are powerful, but they are only defending the city. In the wild, they are In our world of Mongolian cavalry, no matter how many infantry come, as long as our cavalry charges, the men we kill are guaranteed to flee."
"Don't underestimate the soldiers of the Tiger Flag. Don't forget that Su Nang was defeated by the soldiers of the Tiger Flag in the field battle." Kankantada reminded.
Chaqake said with a smile: "Back then, Su Nangtai Ji only took a few people, and they were still in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag were numerous. But it is different now. This is a grassland, and there are many people." The Great Khan and his army of tens of thousands of cavalry are here, and with the few soldiers under the tiger-shaped flag, there is no way they can be our opponent of tens of thousands of cavalry."
"It's a pity that the people of the Ordos tribe and the Yongxiebu tribe don't understand this truth. If they had sent soldiers from various tribes earlier, the Tiger Character Banner would not have been able to build so many forts on the grassland and let the Tiger Character Banner stand on the grassland. Stand firm." Kankantada said with a gloomy expression.
The Tiger Character Banner built so many forts on the Tumut grassland, and the forts at Dahei River were less than a hundred miles away from Qingcheng. This made the entire Tumut tribe a laughing stock among the grassland tribes.
When the Tiger Banner built a fort on the Dahei River, he did not agree. Unfortunately, with the support of the Great Khan and the Ulut tribe, he could only watch as the Tiger Banner built such a fort in the name of building a warehouse. .
Although he later joined forces with Su Nang and some tribes to attack the Tiger Banner's fort in Dahei River, it was a pity that he failed in the end. Not only did he fail to destroy the Tiger Banner's fort in Dahei River, but instead allowed Su Nang to destroy it in Datong. Many Mongolian warriors were lost in the territory, and the Su Nang tribe has not recovered until now.
"Old Taiji."
A voice came from behind.
Kankantada turned around and saw Batu walking towards him in the distance, waving hello.
"Old Taiji hasn't gone back yet?" Batu came closer and said with a smile, "I saw Mo Rigen just now. I heard that Old Taiji arranged for him to monitor the movements over the Tiger Flag. What's the matter? Tiger Is there any movement at the word flag?"
Batu had once sent troops with Kankantada to deal with the Tiger Flag, so he had met Mo Rigen more than once and knew that Mo Rigen was the most elite sentry in Kankantada's tent.
"Mo Rigen just sent a message, saying that there is no movement at the Tiger Character Banner for the time being." Kankantada said, "When can you Yongxie Bubu people come to Qingcheng? The Great Khan has been waiting for you Yongxiebubu Send people from the Ordos Department."
Batu smiled and said, "That's why I asked Old Tai Ji to help."
"What? You Yongxie Bubu have gone back on their word? Are you unwilling to send people to Qingcheng to deal with the Tiger Flag together?" Kankantada frowned.
Batu shook his head and said: "Lao Taiji, don't get me wrong. Since our Yongxiebu tribe has promised to send warriors from the tribe, we will definitely send them, but I'm afraid we still have to discuss the time."
"When do you Yongxiebu people plan to come?" Kankantada looked grim.
He didn't expect that Batu had promised well in the Khan's Palace. Then he came out of the Khan's Palace and began to find reasons to delay the arrival of Yongxiebu's reinforcements in Qingcheng.
Batu said with a look of shame: "I hope the warriors in the tribe can come to Qingcheng as soon as possible, but you also know, Old Taiji, that after this winter, the horses and herds in the tribe need to recuperate. If we send warriors from the tribe to Qingcheng at that time, our Yongxie Bu tribe will suffer great losses."
"You don't need to explain this in front of me. I just want to know when you Yongxie Bubu people can come to Qingcheng." Kankantada said coldly.
Batu said awkwardly: "It won't be until summer at the earliest. In just a few months, the horses and herds won't be able to gain much fat."
"Three months? These three months are enough for the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag to come to Qingcheng ten or eight times." Kankantada said with a livid face.
He had known for a long time that the other two tribes of ten thousand households in Mongolia on the right were incompatible with the Tumut tribe, but he did not expect that the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Banner had arrived at their doorstep. These two tribes were actually unwilling to work together with the Tumut tribe to deal with it. Tiger flag.
