Daishan led his army close to a place called Wuzhaiyi and began to set up camp.
Fuzhaiyi stationed a group of soldiers and horses with the tiger character flag, including a war barracks and a supply camp, with a strength of only more than 7,000.
After the slave thieves' soldiers and horses set up camp, Daishan stayed in the camp every day, only sending out sentries to check the situation of the Tiger Flag, and not sending any troops at other times.
The situation of the Tiger Flag soldiers and horses stationed at Wuzhaiyi was similar. They stayed at Wuzhaiyi in a defensive posture, and usually only sent out sentries around.
Normally, the two sides only fight each other between sentries and cavalry, and the main forces of their respective armies show no intention of taking action.
Several days passed, and Mang Gurtai couldn't help but find Daishan.
"Lao Wu came just in time. Let's have a drink together. This is good wine that Saha Lian found with great effort." Daishan, who was having a meal in his tent, saw Mang Gurtai coming and greeted him immediately. Eat together with each other.
Wine is the best thing in Daikin.
Dajin, who usually had enough to eat, was strictly prohibited from brewing wine, and only those Jurchen high-ranking officials with unusual status would secretly brew wine.
Mang Gurtai sat down opposite Daishan, picked up the wine bottle on the table, pointed it at the spout and drank heavily.
A few sips from a bottle of wine made him drink it all.
Bang!
He poked the wine bottle hard on the table and said, "Second brother, are you still in the mood to drink here? The tiger thieves are right in front of you. Why haven't you sent troops for so long?"
"Lao Wu, you are chewing peonies. You have ruined such a good pot of wine. This is sorghum wine. You have spent a lot of effort to get such a pot of wine." Dai Shan looked at it distressedly. The wine bottle in Mang Gurtai's hand.
Daikin doesn't have much alcohol, so spirits like sorghum brew are even scarcer.
Mang Gur said angrily: "It's made from sorghum and millet. What I'm asking is when we will attack the army of tiger thieves. Second brother, don't change the subject here."
"What's going on? Who said we're going to do it?" Daishan looked at Mang Gurtai and asked one after another.
After hearing this, Mang Gurtai's face sank and he said: "We came all the way from Shengjing just to deal with the army of tiger thieves here and seize Huizhou City. Now that the tiger thieves are right in front of us, we should directly Launch an attack and eat the army of tiger thieves in front of you first."
"There is no rush to send out troops. Lao Wu, you will stay with me in the camp these days. I will make my own arrangements when to send out troops." Dai Shan said.
How could Mang Gurtai be willing to retreat like this? He immediately asked: "I am the deputy commander of the army. I have the right to know any arrangements. Second brother might as well tell me first."
"My arrangement is not to send troops for the time being." Dai Shan said bluntly.
After hearing this, Mang Gurtai was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Why don't you send troops? The army spends countless money and food every day just to let you show off your power in the army. As the deputy commander, I don't agree. I demand that troops must be sent." ,immediately."
"Lao Wu, you are still so impatient." Dai Shan said, "The task given to us by the Great Khan is to defend Gaizhou, and he did not say that we must recover the city, so I think it is good to stay here. The army of tiger thieves can’t come over, so we don’t have to go over, and we have fulfilled the instructions given by the Great Khan.”
"Coward!" Mang Gurtai raised his finger and pointed at Daishan's nose and cursed angrily.
However, Daishan was not annoyed at all and said calmly: "Lao Wu, if you want to fight, you will have many opportunities in the future. Now I am the commander of the army. I have the final say whether to attack the army of tiger thieves or not."
"I don't have a coward like you in Dajin. I think I'm just afraid of being beaten by tiger thieves. I think it's good to stay here. If you're not afraid, you should personally lead the army to regain Fuzhou City. I'm blind." I just asked you to be the commander of this army. If I were the commander of the army, I would have sent troops to surround Fuzhou City." Mang Gurtai accused Daishan.
Daishan's face became serious, and he said: "Lao Wu, I am the commander-in-chief of the army. Don't forget that without my order, no one is allowed to mobilize the army to fight the tiger bandits privately. If you are not convinced, then let the army Khan has removed me as the coach, and you will take it."
"You think I don't dare!" Mang Gurtai said without any sign of weakness.
Dai Shan retorted: "If you don't like me, go and send a message to the Great Khan, saying that I am afraid of the enemy in front of the tiger bandit army and dare not lead the army into battle. As long as the Great Khan agrees to remove me from my position, then I will immediately remove him from my position." Hand over the handsome seal."
"Okay, just wait, I'll have someone tell Lao Ba everything about your situation here when I get back." Mang Gurtai knew that there would be no result if he continued to argue, so he stood up and left Daishan's tent.
Daishan only glanced at it and stopped caring. He picked up the dishes on the plate with chopsticks and started eating.
When Mang Gurtai returned, he was very angry and sat down on his seat angrily. He asked someone to prepare drinks for him, and he drank.
As for writing a letter to inform Huang Taiji about the situation here, he just talked about it and had no intention of actually telling Huang Taiji.
It's not that he has a good relationship with Daishan, but that he knows that just such a small thing is not enough for Huang Taiji to replace Daishan as the coach.
"Amma, what did Daishan say?"
After receiving the news that Mang Gurtai had returned from Daishan, E Bilun came to Mang Gurtai.
Mang Gurtai glanced at his favorite son and said angrily: "Forget it, Daishan is determined to stay here and not fight the tiger thief."
"It shouldn't be! Daishan didn't lead his army south specifically to deal with the tiger bandit army. Why didn't he take action after arriving here?" E Bilun looked puzzled.
Hearing this, Mang Gurtai snorted coldly and said: "What could be the reason? Isn't it because he is afraid of being beaten by tiger thieves and doesn't dare to fight against tiger thieves? I don't think he will accompany the army as the commander-in-chief." , staying in Shengjing for retirement is what he should do."
Ever since Daishan's two red flags were almost annihilated by the tiger-shaped flag on the grassland, he had looked down on Daishan, feeling that Daishan's spine had been broken by the tiger-shaped flag and that he would no longer be as brave as he was when he was young.
"It's not impossible for Ama to be like this." E Bilun nodded in agreement, and then said, "But Daishan is so virtuous, why did the Khan let him take charge? Obviously Ama is more suitable as a coach than Daishan seat."
After hearing this, Mang Gurtai curled his lips and said: "Why, it's not that Lao Ba is guarding me because he is afraid that I will make too many contributions and one day take his place."
"The Great Khan did this without any bearing as a Great Khan should have." E Bilun also expressed his disapproval of Huang Taiji.
Mang Gurtai has always been interested in the position of Great Khan. As Mang Gurtai's favorite son, how could he not want his Ama to replace Huang Taiji as the Great Khan of Great Jin.
As long as his own Amma becomes the Great Khan of the Great Jin, as the son of Mang Gurtai, he will also have the opportunity to become the Great Khan of the Great Jin.
