On the grassland six or seven hundred miles away from Xuanfu Town, the cold wind was howling. This is the Chahar tribe, which is known as the orthodox Mongolian tribe. Hudun Khan in the central tent is furious at this time.
"Bastards, they are all bastards. They only think about their own interests and have never thought about restoring the glory of Mongolia. They are all a group of short-sighted people." Several tribal leaders below also lowered their heads and remained silent. Silent.
Hudun Khan was the last great Khan of Mongolia. When he succeeded to the throne, he was no longer able to control the Mongolian tribes. The Horqin, Neikalkha, Tumut, and Ordos tribes in Monan were all in charge of their own affairs.
The Mongol Khan could only control the Chahar tribe and was only a nominal co-leader. The tribes sometimes united and sometimes conquered each other. The Tumut and Ordos tribes have declined and disappeared in the long river of history.
The Horqin tribe and Houjin colluded and became enemies of the Mongolian tribes. The Inner Khalkha tribe experienced a great battle and suffered a great loss in strength, and now it fell into the hands of Jia Cong.
Hudun Khan can only control the Chahar tribe at present. This time he sent people to contact the Neikalkha tribe, hoping that the Neikalkha tribe would send troops with him to attack Xuanfu before winter.
After all, at this time, Da Chu was locked in a two-front war and had no energy to deal with them. This was an excellent opportunity, maybe they could really break through the Xuan Mansion and invade the interior.
However, the people in Nei Khalkha refused, which made him angry. With only his Chahar troops, he was not sure of attacking the Xuanfu, and he did not dare to send out all his troops. He was afraid that when he sent out troops, other tribes would seize their nests, which would really outweigh the gains and losses.
Kangkar said: "The Great Khan calmed down. When Neikalkha asked us for help, we did not send troops to assist. It was Ning Guogong of Da Chu who sent troops to rescue them, and then they got rid of the threat of Hou Jin. Now, The Great Khan asked them to send troops to deal with the Great Chu, but they will definitely not be willing. As long as Duke Ning is around, they will not dare to attack the Great Chu. We still need to consider the long term." Hudun Khan had calmed down at this time and clicked. He nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. Inner Khalkha has developed rapidly in recent years. It is Ning Guogong who supports them. The Jia family caravan has been trading with them all year round and can even transport food for them. They There is almost nothing missing. It seems that Ben Khan took it for granted, but the opportunity in front of him was rare, so he thought of giving it a try. It seems that he had to give up." Sirhunak said: "Great Khan, we are now We are alone, with more than enough self-preservation, but not enough offense. Although the Chu army is in a state of panic, it is not something we can handle. We should wait and see first, see how the battle develops, and then make a decision." Hu Dun Khan thought for a long time and then said: "Well, as you said, let's see the development of the battle situation of the other two sides first, and then we make a decision. It's a pity that we missed the great opportunity in front of us." The battle that was originally prepared was because Inner Khalkha refused to participate in the war, so Hudun Khan's plan was stillborn.
This Hudun Khan was also a man of great ambition and talent. He advocated that one must first settle the internal affairs in order to fight against foreign aggression. He thought of unifying all the Mongolian tribes in one fell swoop, but the result was contrary to expectations. After repeated internal fights, the strength of the various Mongolian tribes was greatly damaged, and each of them also gave birth to a child. Dislike.
If it weren't for Jia Cong's interference, it is estimated that the current Chahar tribe would have been eliminated and annexed by Hou Jin.
······Far away on the Khalkha prairie in the northeast, Borchi, Xu Hua, Wang Shun, and Zhang Hu were sitting in a large tent discussing matters.
Boer Chidao: "Everyone, although we have refused Hudun Khan to send troops to help, there is no guarantee that he will take risks and risk sending troops to Chu. Should we pass this news to Ning Guogong?" Zhang Hu said: "No need, Ning Guogong is now I have been idle at home, not paying attention to worldly affairs, and there is no meaning in talking or not." Wang Shundao: "The court actually left people like Ning Guogong unused, and used those useless wastes. I really don't know what they were thinking. "Yes." Xu Hua sighed and said: "Ning Guo Gong is too young and too powerful. People in the court are afraid that Ning Guo Gong will become big. When the time comes, the situation will become difficult to control, which is not what they want to see. In these dynasties, those who Few generals with outstanding military exploits have a good end. Although this is a bit unfair to Ning Guogong, it is actually a good thing." Wang Shundao: "It would be great if Ning Guogong is willing to come to the grassland, maybe he can lead us and unify The entire prairie, unify the entire north." Xu Hua said: "You are overthinking it. Ning Guogong is a distinguished noble. Unless the emperor allows it, he cannot leave the capital without authorization. If he really comes to the prairie, it is no different from being independent. It is equivalent to being with the royal family. He immediately fell out, Ning Guogong should not take this step." Bo Chidao: "Da Chu is currently fighting on two fronts. Liaodong side should not be Amin's opponent. It would be good to be able to defend Liaoyang. As for the civil strife in Shaanxi, it is It's hard to predict. Ordinarily, those rabble should not be Da Chu's opponents, but the first wave of suppression ended in Da Chu's failure. This is a bit intriguing." Wang Shundao: "If Ning Guogong had been allowed to take action, he would have been killed long ago. After pacifying them, how can these things still happen? It seems that this great Chu has exhausted his strength." Xu Hua said: "At this time, we can do nothing but develop and strengthen ourselves as quickly as possible to wait for the opportunity. Zhang Hu, Is there any news recently from Mr. Ning Guo?" Zhang Hu thought for a moment and said, "Some time ago, Mr. Ning Guo went to sea and did not do much after returning to Beijing. I heard that he is preparing for his wedding next year. By then we will Do we also need to prepare a congratulatory gift?" Bo Chidao: "It goes without saying that we have been greatly favored by Ning Guogong. On the occasion of his wedding, we must give him a generous gift. But what should we give him? Okay? Ning Guogong seems to have nothing." Wang Shun also said with a troubled face: "That's right, Ning Guogong certainly doesn't care about these gold, silver and jewelry. What should I give him as a gift? Lao Xu, Do you have any good suggestions?" Xu Hua said: "This... is indeed a bit difficult to handle. With Ning Guogong's current financial resources and power, there is nothing he can't get, only some real rarities. Only then can we gain his eyesight. However, rare treasures are rare. If there is no other way, we can only give some common objects." Bo Chidao: "Fortunately, it's still early, we can prepare slowly and search slowly. If you really can't find it, you can only do what the military advisor said." The four of them discussed for a while, and then they dispersed and returned to their own territory.
······On this day, Jia Cong was giving Lin Daiyu tricks in the yard. The two of them were going back and forth, and the fight was very lively.
Shi Xiangyun, who was standing on the edge, his eyes gleaming as he watched, hooted, clapped his hands and shouted.
"Third brother, spank her. Sister Lin, kick him quickly." Several people nearby couldn't help laughing. Xue Baochai said: "Girl Yun, you can't be quiet for a while. Be careful, the two of them will deal with you later." Xichun laughed. Said: "Sister Yun, why do I feel that you deserve a beating?" Shi Xiangyun glared at Xichun, waved his fist and said: "Fourth girl, who are you talking about, be careful I beat you up." Jia Cong couldn't help but be speechless. Laughter, this girl Shi Xiangyun is not a peaceful person, she can't take a break for a moment, but with her around, she won't feel bored.
"Yeah, it's snowing." Yingchun shouted in surprise, looking up at the sky, stretching out his palms to catch the falling snowflakes.
"Hey, it's really snowing, brother, it's snowing, please stop." At this time, Xichun also shouted.
Jia Cong glanced around and saw dots of snowflakes falling from the sky. She glanced at Lin Daiyu and said, "Sister Lin, are you tired? Why don't you take a rest?" Lin Daiyu said, "Okay, that's it for today." The two stopped what they were doing and looked up together. Looking towards the sky, in a short time, the sky was already filled with dense snowflakes.
Lin Daiyu stretched out her hands, looked at the crystal snowflakes on her palms, and said with a smile: "What beautiful snowflakes, now I can play with them." She turned around and said: "Yun girl, what did you say just now? Hey, where is the person? Just now Isn't it Girl Yun who is talking? Why is she missing?" Xichun said with a smile: "Brother, Sister Lin, as soon as you stopped, Sister Yun sneaked away, as if she was going to the old lady." Lin Daiyu said: " Come on, she runs fast, otherwise her butt will have to be smashed." Yingchun said: "The snow fell just in time, and you can show your talents and form a society to sing about the snow." Xue Baochai said with a smile "We can't do it today, but drinking tea and watching the snow has a different artistic conception. How about we go to Miaoyu's place to drink tea?" Jia Cong said with a smile: "That's what I have in mind. Sister Lin, let's go together. Let's go." Lin Daiyu said: "Okay, I happen to be a little thirsty, so I'll go and bother Miaoyu." Looking at the falling snowflakes in the sky, Jia Cong said: "The snow is getting heavier and heavier, do you want to go back? Change your clothes and put on your cloaks and cloaks to avoid getting caught in the snow and wind and cold." Yingchun said: "Okay, let's go back and change clothes. See you outside later." Several people said After leaving the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, they each returned to their own courtyards.
When Lin Daiyu saw Jia Cong standing still, she couldn't help but ask: "Brother Cong, aren't you going back to get dressed?" Jia Cong smiled and said, "I won't go back. Let Erya get me a cloak." That's enough." Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "I have a lot of cloaks, how about you wear mine? You shouldn't be able to tell." Jia Cong said: "But pull it down, our figures are too different. , isn’t it a joke that I’m wearing what you’re wearing? You should hurry up and change your clothes. Erya, you should hurry up too.”
"I understand, Master, I'll go right away." Erya agreed and quickly left the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Lin Daiyu said: "Brother Cong, you go sit in the room for a while, I'll go to the back room to change clothes." Jia Cong nodded, came to the room and sat down, Lin Daiyu and Zijuan went to the back room to change clothes, Xueyan brought a cup The tea was placed in front of Jia Cong.
"Master, please have a cup of tea first." Jia Cong nodded, took a sip from the tea cup, and waited patiently.
After a while, Lin Daiyu walked out of the back room. I saw her put on a pair of gold-plated cloud-red and fragrant sheepskin boots, a white fox crane cloak with a red feather gauze veil, a lapis lazuli green double-ringed four-way ruyi sash, and a snow hat on her head. Go up and feel more energetic.
Lin Daiyu turned around in front of Jia Cong and said with a smile: "Brother Cong, do I look good in this outfit?" Jia Cong looked up and down and said with a smile: "It looks good. Sister Lin looks good in anything she wears." Lin Daiyu sweetly She smiled sweetly and said: "Really, is it really good-looking?" Jia Cong said: "Well, it's really good-looking." Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes and asked with a smile: "Brother Cong, you said I am good-looking? Is Sister Baoqin more beautiful? Don't tell lies." Jia Cong smiled inwardly. This little girl used this trick to test herself. She really found the wrong person. How could she be fooled?
Jia Cong said with a serious face: "Of course Sister Lin is the prettiest. In my heart, Sister Lin is the most beautiful and the most beautiful. No one can compare with her." Lin Daiyu giggled happily when she heard this. stand up.
"Brother Cong, if you can speak, you've passed the test this time." Zi Juan stood aside and covered her mouth with a smile, and said to herself: "This man really knows how to make girls happy."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Then don't you reward me with something?" Lin Daiyu blinked and asked curiously: "What reward do you want?" Jia Cong chuckled and said: "How about Sister Lin?" Will you kiss me?" Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes and scolded with a smile: "Fuck you, you're not doing anything right. Erya is here, let's go. Sister Bao and the others are probably out too." Sure enough, Erya was seen in front. , Xiren took a piece of clothing, followed behind, and walked in together.
Zijuan smiled and said: "Xiren, you are not worried that the Duke is here, and you came here by yourself." Xiren said with a smile: "What are you worried about coming here? I also saw it snowing, by the way. Come and have a look in the garden." After saying that, he stepped forward and helped Jia Cong put on a gorilla felt cloak. After helping him tidy up, he stood aside.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "It's quite beautiful when it snows in this garden. If you have nothing to do, you can go and have a look together." He turned to Lin Daiyu and said: "Sister Lin, let's go too." Lin Daiyu nodded, and the two of them They all left the Xiaoxiang Pavilion together, carrying the snowflakes on their heads, and headed to Cong Cui'an.
They had just walked not far when they saw Shi Xiangyun coming from the side road. Wearing a coat given to her by her mother Jia, a large furry black gray squirrel lining with a mink head and a big fur coat with a fever inside and outside. On her head she wore a cloud-cut goose yellow piece with a golden lining made of gorilla felt Zhaojun, and was surrounded by a big mink. Wind collar.
Seeing her like this, Lin Daiyu first smiled and said: "Look, Sun Xingzhe is here. He is also holding a snow coat and deliberately pretending to be a little coquettish." Xiangyun smiled and said: "Look at me. It's dressed up inside." He said while taking off his coat.
I saw that she was wearing one thing, a used three-inlaid leader, autumn fragrant color, gold, five-color embroidered dragon narrow jacket with small sleeves covering the silver mouse short jacket, and a short crimson satin fox crotch pleat underneath, which was tight at the waist. Wearing a bow-knotted and long-tasseled five-color palace sash, and wearing deerskin boots at her feet, her waist and back became more and more prominent, and she looked like a crane and a mantis.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "She only likes to dress up like a boy. It turns out that she is more prettier than her daughter. I will call you Brother Yun from now on." Shi Xiangyun chuckled and said: "The younger brother paid homage to the third brother, and also Please take care of me, Third Brother." Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Okay, you two, take this seriously." The three of them walked forward talking and laughing.
