Several tribal leaders in the Khan tent retreated from the Khan tent.
Hutuktu Khan was very satisfied with the attitude of these tribal leaders to obey him as the great khan.
"Great Khan, are you really going to Mobei?" Namuzhong looked at Hutuktu Khan.
Hutuktu Khan nodded and said: "I have ordered you to go down, so it cannot be false. You should also go back and make preparations. We will set off in a day or two."
When he said the next words, he looked at his several Fujins.
"It's okay to go to Mobei, but how to provide the food and grass needed along the way?" Namuzhong asked.
Hutuktu Khan frowned when he heard this, and said with dissatisfaction: "Didn't I say that I would get it from the tribes I met on the way to Mobei?"
Tribes on the grassland vary in size, and not every tribe has nobles like Taiji.
Many small tribes are composed of several herdsmen gathered together, with dozens of people living together. There is even a family of herdsmen living alone on a certain grassland.
More often than not, the living areas of herders are constantly changing, and they rarely live in one place forever.
Hutuktu Khan's idea was to attack these tribes.
The herdsmen can directly become string-controllers, and the cattle and sheep become the food and fodder consumed by the army. It is a good thing for him to kill two birds with one stone.
"Great Khan, we are not one or two thousand people, but tens of thousands of people. The food we consume every day can pile up into mountains. Just relying on the tribes along the way to obtain food is not enough to support the consumption of the army. What if we cannot encounter other people for a long time? The tribe and the army are out of food." Namuzhong said worriedly.
I thought that Hutuktu Khan thought too simply.
Hutuktu Khan's face darkened and he said, "Then what do you want to do?"
When Namuzhong's words reached his ears, he felt that she was deliberately looking for trouble, and he became dissatisfied.
"I hope that the Great Khan can solve the food problem. Before going to Mobei, at least part of the food problem should be solved." Namuzhong looked directly at Hutuktu Khan.
In her opinion, Hutuktu Khan's decision to go to Mobei was wrong and would bring danger to them.
Hutuktu Khan said angrily: "The only place that can produce a large amount of food now is Tiger Flag. Do you want me to agree to Tiger Flag's unreasonable request and go to Qingcheng to keep company with Omubuhong?"
Namuzhong's words pierced his heart.
If he could get enough food, how could he not get the food first and then go to Mobei.
"Great Khan, in my opinion, the food issue will still fall on the tiger character flag." Su Tai, who was promising Hutuktu Khan's eldest son Ezhe, said.
After hearing this, Hutuktu Khan looked at Sutai with a cold face and asked: "What? Do you also think that this Khan should go to Qingcheng, or do you think it is better to go to Qingcheng and become a prisoner!"
The successive questions made Su Tai's expression change.
She hurriedly explained: "The Great Khan misunderstood. I thought that we had formed an alliance with the Tiger-Character Banner, and the cattle and sheep we lost were lost because the Tiger-Character Banner resisted the pseudo-gold coalition. Their Tiger-Character Banner should do this Take responsibility.”
"Khan, I think what Su Tai said makes sense." Fujin Siqintu said from the side.
It is related to whether the army can have enough food on the way to Mobei, and it is also related to her vital interests. Naturally, she hopes that Hutuktu Khan can get enough food.
Hutuktu Khan fell silent after hearing this.
Why didn't he want Hu Ziqi to compensate him, but he knew it would be difficult, otherwise Namuzhong wouldn't just bring back the conditions proposed by Hu Ziqi.
As for using troops against the Tiger-Character Banner and forcing the Tiger-Character Banner to provide food, it is okay to talk about such a thing, but I dare not actually do it.
Tiger Character Banner could defeat the pseudo-gold coalition, but he was afraid that he would end up worse than Huang Taiji.
"The Great Khan should first think about how to solve the food problem. If we can't get enough food for the army, I'm worried that Colonso and the others won't go to Mobei with the Great Khan honestly." Namuzhong said.
Hearing this, Hutuktu Khan said with an unhappy expression: "Impossible, Nomu has promised to go to Mobei with Ben Khan. He is a man of his word, and Ben Khan believes in him."
The Nomu he mentioned was the older of the several tribal leaders who left.
"Without food, it is impossible for them to take the tribe's people and risk going to Mobei." Seeing that Hutuktu Khan still insisted that she was right, Namu Zhong had no choice but to express her worries.
Hutuktu Khan shook his head and said: "I don't believe that Nomu would lie to me."
Seeing this, Na Muzhong knew that there was no point in trying to persuade her, and she didn't want to talk nonsense anymore. When the time came, she would know whether her words were true or false.
Hutuktu Khan did not have the courage to use swords and tiger flags to ask for food, but he just cursed fiercely.
Even Su Tai didn't bother to persuade Hutuktu Khan to launch troops against the Tiger Flag.
Just like when he faced the invading gold army, Hutuktu Khan did not dare to fight head-on. He only knew how to avoid it, but no one could persuade him.
The problem of food shortage was directly put on hold, or it could be said that Hutuktu Khan targeted the small tribes on the way to Mobei.
Colonso and others, who also learned that they were going to Mobei, did not return to their own tent after leaving the sweat tent. Instead, they were taken to his tent by Nomu.
"Nomu, why did you bring us all here?" Colonzo, who had just sat down, asked Nomu who brought them here.
Nomu glanced at the faces of the leaders in front of him one by one, and said: "Find a way to survive for yourself, and find a way to survive for you."
"It's a life-or-death situation. Not everyone is fine. If you have something to say, you can't be direct." Colonso said with a dissatisfied tone.
"Yes, what is the way to survive? You have confused everyone." said a leader who came together.
The rest of the people nodded in agreement.
Seeing that everyone was anxious to know, Nomu asked, "What do you think of the Great Khan's talk about going to Mobei?"
As he spoke, he looked at the current few people.
"Since the Great Khan said to go to Mobei and there is no way back to Baicheng, then let's go to Mobei." Colonso said casually, but his eyes were fixed on Nomu.
Nomu asked the others again, "You think so too?"
"Who can object to the Great Khan's request?"
"That's right, we can't go against the Great Khan!"
The others spoke to me one by one.
After everyone finished speaking, Nomu said: "If I said that going to Mobei is a dead end, would you still be willing to follow the Great Khan to Mobei?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned.
"No, it's not that serious!" Colonzo said hesitantly.
Nomu snorted softly and said, "When I finish analyzing it for you, you will know whether it is this serious."
