Several people led by Colonso looked at Nomu, wanting to hear what he would say next.
"We have no food, you all should know it!" Nomu looked at the few people in front of him.
Colonzo and others nodded.
Nomu continued: "Without food, how can we get to Mobei? Do we have to rely on killing horses to eat horse meat? Even if there is no shortage of horse meat along the way, what will we do when we get to Mobei? The Khalkha Tribe in Mobei does not have it. So easy to talk to, Hutuktu Khan's name may not be of much use, he will definitely take action in the end, without enough horses, how can he be the opponent of Mobei Sanhan."
"The Great Khan didn't mean to raise food from the tribes along the way. We have so many string-controlling soldiers. Unless we encounter an army of fake gold or soldiers and horses with tiger flags, no tribe will be our opponent." Colonso said.
After hearing this, Nomu patted his head with his hand and said, "Your head is just a decoration on your neck. If you use your brain even a little bit, you won't say such stupid things."
Several tribal leaders nearby covered their mouths and chuckled.
"Did I say something wrong?" Colonso scratched the back of his head with his right hand.
He was not unhappy because Nomu scolded him for being stupid. He knew that he was impulsive and not very good at using his brain.
Seeing that Colonso still didn't understand, Nomu had no choice but to say: "Think about how many string control warriors there are around the Great Khan. The food they consume every day cannot be provided by a small tribe. How can we meet other people on our way to Mobei?" We have reached a few tribes, not to mention the tribes along the way are not fools. They knew that the army was coming, how could they not avoid it in advance and still wait for us to go over and rob them?"
"I understand." Colonso suddenly realized, "What you are saying is that this method of providing food along the way is not feasible. If we go to Mobei like this, everyone will be hungry."
Next to him, another tribal leader faced Nomu and said, "According to this, we really can't follow the Great Khan to Mobei. Going to Mobei will be a dead end."
"Yes, you can't go to Mobei."
Several tribal leaders nodded.
Mobei is even poorer than Monan. At least Monan can still take advantage of Ming Dynasty. Going to Mobei means that the opportunity to harvest wool from Ming Dynasty is cut off, and life will be much more difficult than before.
"But if we don't go to Mobei, where are we going?" Colonso asked.
Several tribal leaders present also looked at Nomu.
It was Nomu who proposed not to go to Mobei, so naturally he thought he could point out a way out for everyone.
Nomu twirled the beard on his chin with his fingers, pondered for a moment, and said: "Let me ask everyone, do you still want to stay in Monan?"
"Of course I want to stay in Monan. Monan is our home." One of the tribal leaders expressed his intention to stay before Colonso could.
Colonso also said: "It's better to stay in Monan. If you go to Mobei, you still have to see the face of Mobei Sanhan."
"Okay, since everyone wants to stay, let me tell you what I think." Nomu looked at the people in front of him and said, "It is definitely impossible for the Great Khan to stay in Monan. If we want to stay Monan has only two choices."
As he spoke, he held up two fingers.
"Which two options are there? It's now time for you to stop showing off." Colonso couldn't help but urge.
Nomu looked at the eyes of several pairs of eyes looking at him and said: "The first choice is to join the Tiger Flag. The Mongolian side on the right has the final say. As long as we join the Tiger Flag, we can naturally stay." .”
"If you want to join me, I won't join the Tiger-Charactered Banner anyway. Didn't the Great Khan say that the result of joining the Tiger-Charactered Banner is that we can only go to Qingcheng and Omubuhong to keep company. I won't go to Qingcheng. , Even if I want to go to Qingcheng one day, I will take my soldiers and horses to the streets of Qingcheng." Colonso shook his head and said.
His ancestors were nobles on the grassland, but they went to Qingcheng and became prisoners. He was reckless, but not stupid. He just wanted to live a prosperous life and become a prisoner whose freedom was restricted.
"What about you? You don't want to either?" Nomu looked at the other tribal leaders.
"If the Tiger Flag changes its attitude, it doesn't mean that I can't join the Tiger Flag, but if I go to Qingcheng to keep company with Ombuhong, I won't go."
"I also have the same attitude and will not go to Qingcheng."
Seeing that none of these people were willing to join the Tiger Flag, Nomu said, "Then the last option left is to surrender to Huang Taiji and keep the tribe, cattle and sheep."
Several tribal leaders became silent.
The Mongolian Mu Qiang was unwilling to surrender to Huang Taiji. After all, the Tiger Flag defeated Huang Taiji on the frontal battlefield, and the Tiger Flag was obviously more powerful.
Seeing that several people were silent, Nomu couldn't help but said: "What? If you don't want to join the Tiger Flag, and you are unwilling to surrender to Huang Taiji, then you and the Great Khan can go to Mobei. There is no place in Monan anymore. ”
"If I don't go to Mobei, I don't want to starve to death on the way, and end up taking advantage of Mobei Sanhan." After hearing Nomu's analysis, Colonso completely gave up the idea of going to Mobei.
Nomu looked at him and said: "If you want to stay in Monan, the only two ways I mentioned are the two ways. Otherwise, even if you stay in Monan, sooner or later you will be annexed by Huang Taiji or Tiger Flag. By then You don’t even have a chance to go to Qingcheng and stay with Ombuhong.”
Colonso's head dropped when he heard this.
He was unwilling to surrender to Huang Taiji, but he was unwilling to join the Tiger-Character Banner. He really thought that it would be good to live like this. With Hutuktu Khan supporting him, he would not have to worry about food and drink as the leader of the tribe, and he would have people around him to serve him. This is how people have lived their lives for generations.
"Huang Taiji is willing to accept us?" A tribal leader asked Nomu.
The two powers harm each other. Compared with having no power at all after joining the Tiger Character Banner, it is better to surrender to Huang Taiji. At least the power is guaranteed. At most, when Huang Taiji needs to conquer somewhere, the tribe will send some soldiers to follow Huang Taiji. Go on an expedition together.
Nomu said: "I am definitely willing. Don't forget that Huang Taiji suffered a loss in front of the Tiger Flag. If we go to him now, he will definitely be happy."
"How about going to find Huang Taiji?" The tribal leader said hesitantly, but looked at Colonso and the others.
He still hopes that everyone will join Huang Taiji. The more people who join him, the more Huang Taiji will take him seriously.
"What about you! What is your attitude? Give me the right words. Don't try to delay the time. The Great Khan has asked us to leave for Mobei in a day or two. We don't have that much time for you to think about it." Nomu asked several questions. The silent tribal leader.
Colonso hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't have any objections to going to Huang Taiji's place. I just feel a little sorry for the Khan."
"We followed the Great Khan all the way here, and fought a battle for him and Huang Taiji." Nomu said, "Now that there is no food, continuing to follow the Great Khan will be a dead end. It is time to fight for ourselves and other people in the tribe. People should think about it.”
