Zhang Hong's guard Bai Guangyong walked up to Na Muzhong, raised his right hand and made an invitation gesture, and said: "Please, please!"
Namuzhong's expression changed several times.
Hu Ziqi fell out as soon as he said he would fall out, which was completely beyond her expectation.
She knew that she couldn't leave. Once she left, everything would be over. She said quickly: "Our two families have agreed to form an alliance and jointly deal with the fake gold army. Is the Tiger Flag going to kill the donkey?"
"It seems that Dafujin still knows the saying of "killing the donkey by removing the grindstone." Zhang Hong smiled softly and said, "It's a pity that the word Dafujin is used wrongly. You haven't even grinded the mill, so why do you think you are being killed by the grindstone?" Yes? If we want to blame this, we can only blame you for violating the covenant we formed at that time."
"No, the Great Khan has always adhered to the covenant with the Tiger Flag, and it has never changed." Namuzhong said for her side.
Zhang Hong smiled when he heard this and said: "Since we have not violated the covenant, then we must follow the original requirements. As long as you and the slaves and thieves fight, regardless of victory or defeat, the tiger-character flag will be completed. What I promised you back then.”
"We will naturally fight against the pseudo-gold army, but the Great Khan is kind-hearted and does not want to kill the Mongols. He cannot bear to see the Mongolians who are forced to do things by the pseudo-gold die in the hands of his own people. To deal with the puppet Jin’s soldiers and horses, we will naturally send troops to deal with them." Na Muzhong said.
At this time, Ma Yunjiu said with a contemptuous smile: "I have come back to Zhang Shizheng, I don't think Khutuktu Khan is sincere in forming an alliance with us. In my opinion, the alliance should be dropped here. All parties on the battlefield will Rely on your ability.”
Hearing this, Zhang Hong nodded, and immediately said to Na Muzhong: "Dafujin, you also heard what I just said. Since you can't bear to take action, our alliance ends here. From now on, you go your own way, and I go my way." There is a single-plank bridge, and we walk on the main road facing the sky."
The two people said something to each other, both inside and outside their words, saying that they did not want to continue to cooperate with the Chahar Ministry.
Na Muzhong's face turned blue and white.
Not angry, but scared.
If it is unable to cooperate with the Tiger Banner, the Chahar tribe, which is caught between the two forces, will not only face the puppet gold army, but also the Tiger Banner army from the right wing of Mongolia.
Even if he barely wins the battle against the fake gold, he will be stabbed hard by the tiger character flag, and vice versa.
What's more, the Chahar tribe has no confidence at all in defeating the pseudo-gold army, otherwise it would not have abandoned Baicheng and moved all the way west here.
It sounds nice to say that it was to move west to unify the grasslands, but as a close person of the Great Khan, I know very well the reason for this westward move. It was entirely because I did not dare to confront the fake gold and was afraid of ending up like the five Khalkha tribes. end.
Seeing that Namu Zhong was silent for a long time, Zhang Hong said: "If Dafujin is so willing to let the two families form a harmonious alliance, then he will do what he set out to do when we formed the alliance and see the guests off."
"Please, please!" Bai Guangyong raised his right arm again.
Namuzhong hesitated for a moment, and finally left with the others with an ugly expression.
Unlike the last time Na Muzhong came to discuss alliance matters, this time when Na Muzhong left, neither Zhang Hong nor Ma Yunjiu got up to see him off.
"In case Hutuktu Khan really doesn't take action against the slave thieves, what are you going to do next?" Ma Yunjiu asked Zhang Hong, who was standing aside.
Zhang Hong said with a smile: "Oba of Horqin, Zasai and Chaohua of the five Khalkha tribes are no match for the slave thieves. From the beginning, I did not expect this Hutuktu Khan to be able to defeat Huang Taiji."
"Hutuktu Khan has 40,000 soldiers and horses around him. This time the slave thieves have come to join the coalition of 100,000 troops. Among them, Huang Taiji has brought 60,000 slave soldiers from Liaodong. I am worried that Hutuktu Khan will not dare to fight Huang Taiji. Finally, use your troops towards us." Ma Yunjiu expressed his worries.
Hutuktu Khan's troops were naturally unable to deal with Huang Taiji's army, but once they dispersed and fled to the grasslands of 30,000 households on the right, the tiger-shaped flag could not stop all the Chahar troops.
Zhang Hong said: "Your worries are not unreasonable, but the lord has sent dragoons to support us. Together with the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from the right-wing grassland ministries, there are almost 60,000 troops."
"The dragoons are here too?" Ma Yunjiu said excitedly.
Zhang Hong nodded and said: "After the war in Henan is over, the dragoons will no longer be of much use in Henan. They were originally going to be sent back to the grassland to rest. Unexpectedly, Huang Taiji led an army to invade. The lord took advantage of the opportunity and sent the dragoons Sent here for us."
"This is the first time we have fought on such a large scale with slave thieves. To be honest, I'm still a little nervous." Ma Yunjiu rubbed his palms excitedly.
Zhang Hong, who heard this, smiled and said, "I'm more nervous than you. Defeating Huang Taiji this time is of great significance, so we can only win, not lose."
Compared with the peaceful situation on the west side, the grassland where Hutuktu Khan led his army and the army of slaves and thieves on the east side were fighting with steel swords, and bloodshed happened everywhere.
Those who took action were all Mongolians. The only difference was that they belonged to different tribes and forces.
Enemies never distinguish whether they are of the same race or not. On the battlefield, there are always only two types: life and death, and life and death.
The Mongolian sentry cavalry on the Chahar tribe and the Mongolian sentry cavalry on the slave bandit side were engaged in small-scale battles at any time and at any time. Hutuktu Khan in the Khan tent was worried every day since he came to fight against the slave bandit army.
The roasted lamb we usually eat tastes like wax, and even the sorghum wine we like to drink is bland and tasteless.
"Great Khan, Nang Nang Fujin is back." The Great Khan's bodyguard came back first to inform.
Hearing this, Hutuktu Khan stood up from behind the low table and said urgently: "Bring Dafujin in quickly."
The sweat tent was opened, and Na Muzhong walked in with the accompanying maid.
"Sweat!" Namuzhong bowed and saluted.
Hutuktu Khan asked with an earnest look: "No need to be too polite, tell me about your trip to the Tiger Flag."
"The situation is not very good." Namuzhong shook her head slightly, "The Tiger Flag is unwilling to send troops to help us."
Hutuktu Khan's face suddenly turned gray when he heard this.
Sanfujin Sutai, who was also in the sweat tent, said at this time: "I have already said that there is no need to cooperate with this tiger-character flag. Even if you want to cooperate, you can cooperate with the Ming Dynasty. Now it's okay, the pseudo-gold army has caught up. I can't leave even if I want to.
Upon hearing this, Hutuktu Khan's face became ferocious, and he stared at Namuzhong fiercely.
In his opinion, if Na Muzhong hadn't been trying to trick him into supporting an alliance with the Tiger Flag, he wouldn't be in this situation.
If he had known this would happen, it would have been better to use troops directly against the Tiger Character Banner. Maybe 30,000 households on the right wing would have been conquered by him.
