 "Taiji, I think that's right. That man is very young, but people around him respect him very much. By the way, General Zuo, who has been traveling to the grassland for a long time, respects him very much. Of course, that young man respects that man.

General Zuo also respects..."

Bu Shitu knew that General Zuo was the capable subordinate of the current General Feng. He had come to Xihai seven or eight years ago and he had seen him once. He had never seen the current General Feng.

The fortune-telling rabbit rubbed his chin and thought about it.

The situation was worse than he imagined. Although he had the support of the Ulut tribe in Wuludu'er, it was far from enough compared to Su Nang. The third lady had been in Bansheng for too long, and there was Mrs. Zhongshun's support.

Su Nang relied on his reputation to win over a large group of people. It was said that even the Chahar people in the east supported him, which made Bu Shitu feel more and more bleak about his future.

Because of this, the Han people who launched a rebellion in Ningxia did not look for him at all, but directly looked for Su Nang, which made Bu Shitu feel angry and a little frustrated.

People on the grassland are very realistic. If you don't have strength, naturally no one will take notice of you. So what if you are the eldest grandson of your grandfather? You can't make the people of Zhou feel afraid. You can't get salt and brick tea in exchange.

If you don't get iron pots and weapons in exchange for silk and cloth, no one will listen to you.

There were rapid footsteps outside the tent, the curtain suddenly opened, and a figure came in: "Taiji!"

"What's the matter?" Bu Shitu looked at his proud subordinate somewhat unhappily.

"The Ordos people are coming." The subordinate gasped.

"Ordos people? Where did the Ordos people come from?" Bu Shitu was stunned for a moment and was also a little surprised.

The Ordos Tribe has always been second only to the Tumut Tribe in the Hetao Grassland, but the Ordos Tribe is even more scattered than the Tumut Tribe and operates independently.

"Are you afraid that Zhu Litu and Zai Monk are here?" The man kneeling on one side turned his head and asked, "It must be those Han people who brought it here."

"Yes, it's Zhuli Tu Taiji and Zaiseng Taiji who are here."

"Oh?" Bu Shitu perked up, and the Han people also brought Zhu Litu and Zaiseng here?

The various forces on this grassland are indeed too complex. After the Songshan Ordos tribe was expelled from Songshan, Zaiseng and Zhulitu have been wandering in the east. It is said that they surrendered to Su Nang, but they also have a bad relationship with Su Nang.

Achitu and Bintu Niangzi have little connection with Su Nang, but this time they actually got involved with the rebel Han people in Ningxia, so it is really hard to explain the separation and reunification.

.

"Are they coming to visit me?" Bu Shitu stood up excitedly.

"No, Taiji, I have gone to pay a visit to those Han people. Zaiseng has come to pay a visit to Taiji." The subordinate knelt on the ground in a somewhat embarrassed manner and said.

"What?!" Bu Shitu was furious. How dare Zhu Litu do this? This guy actually went to visit the Han people first?

"Bu Shi Tu Tai Ji, Zai Monk came to pay a visit." A feminine voice sounded outside the tent.

Bu Shitu suppressed the anger in his heart and coughed dryly: "Please come in quickly."

Several guards lined up outside the tent, and a middle-aged man wearing a traditional Ordos leather robe stood outside the tent with a smile and saluted.

The man who had been kneeling stood up and walked quickly to the door to return the greeting, "Zaiseng Taiji, please come in."

The cow dung in the center of the tent burned even more intensely, making the faces of the fortune telling rabbit and the monk Zai red.

"Is Zaiseng Taiji here at the invitation of the Han people?" Bu Shitu asked casually: "Do Zaiseng Taiji and Zhuli Tu Taiji know the intentions of these Han people?"

"Isn't it clear that Bushitu Taiji is not aware of it? Isn't it just to win us over to fight against Su Nang Taiji?" Zai Seng's voice was very soft. Compared with other people on the grassland, Zai Seng's face was particularly fair and fair.

Not like Tatars, more like Han people, which is what Zaiseng is most proud of.

They look like Han people, and they do have the cunning and cunning mentality of Han people, but Zai Seng can firmly control his thousands of accounts. Bu Shitu knows that to a large extent, his brother has to listen to him.

Views.

"It seems that Zaiseng Taiji already knows, so why should he come with Zhuli Tu Taiji?" Bu Shitu said calmly.

"Come, of course I have to come, why don't you come? Isn't it possible that Shitu Taiji is not willing to 'participate in this grand event'?" Zai Seng proudly used a Chinese idiom mixed in.

Bu Shitu didn't understand the meaning of "jointly supporting the grand event", and he didn't understand it until Zai Seng explained it.

The tribes in Hetao communicate with the Han people a lot, and they can more or less speak Chinese, but they can only respond in simple ways, but it won't be enough if it's more complicated.

For example, the Ordos tribe and the Tumut tribe share Tatar, and most of them can communicate with each other. However, there are still dialects that belong to their respective tribes, and they need to be communicated slowly to understand. Sometimes Chinese becomes a common translation language.

The fortune teller's eyes were focused: "What does Zai Seng Taiji mean by this?"

"Come if you can make a profit, leave if you don't, it's that simple." Zai Seng looked very relaxed, "My brother and I each have thousands of tents, and tens of thousands of people want tea, salt, cloth and iron pots.

If we don't come, will Suang Taiji take the initiative to give it to us? Or will Bushitu Taiji take the initiative to give it to us?"

Bu Shitu was stunned for a moment and then burst out laughing, "Zai Seng Taiji really knows how to talk, um, but he's telling the truth."

"I wonder what Bu Shi Tu Tai Ji planned? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Zai Seng smiled softly.

"It's a good opportunity, but you have to live to enjoy it." Bu Shitu narrowed his eyes.

"Oh? Could it be that Bushi Tu Tai Ji came back from the West Sea just to congratulate Su Nang Tai Ji on taking over the throne of Khan and King Shunyi?" The smile on Zai Monk's fair face became more and more hateful.

Bu Shitu suppressed his inner anger, "It's not your Ordos' turn to interfere in the affairs of our Tumut people."

"No, if Bushitu Taiji has nothing to do with us, of course we won't bother to ask. But if Bushitu Taiji and Su Nang Taiji really ascend to the throne, it will affect us Ordos people, and of course we will suffer even greater losses.

It’s the fortune-telling rabbit Taiji, isn’t it? In that case, Da Zhou doesn’t want to see Su Nang Taiji like this, so why can’t we cooperate?”

Zaiseng's tone became more and more feminine, but it was like needle and thread that could penetrate people's hearts and lungs.

"Cooperation? Zaiseng, are you here to be a lobbyist for Da Zhou? When did the Ordos people crawl in front of Da Zhou?" A mocking look appeared on Bu Shitu's lips.

"Haha, which family on the grassland has not prostrated in front of Da Zhou? Didn't Lingzu Chalike also prostrate in front of Da Zhou to become the King of Shunyi? Didn't the third lady get a wife Zhongshun in the same way? There is no Mrs Zhongshun.

With this flag, why does Su Nang Tai Ji compete with Bushi Tu Tai Ji for the throne of Khan and the position of King of Shunyi?" Zai Seng was also unceremonious, "It doesn't matter if you prostrate yourself, it's just a formality, as long as it can be given to my people.

The chief monk doesn't mind if he brings tea, salt, and cloth. Isn't this the case since the Han and Tang dynasties?"

"Then you have made up your mind to cooperate with Da Zhou?" Bu Shitu's brown eyes became even brighter.

"Bu Shi Tu Taiji, don't be anxious. You have to negotiate terms for cooperation. No one will do anything that will make you suffer. So my brother went to talk to the Han people. Maybe a general situation will come out soon. I'm here to pay a visit to Bu Shi."

Tu Taiji, isn't it just because we can get greater benefits by bundling together?" Zai Monk smiled leisurely and said, "Bu Shi Tu Taiji, the five-way general Du'er Taiji supports you, plus me and my brother, you

Do you think we can ask Dazhou for more?"

*******

As soon as Jilitu left, Feng Ziying, Zhang Jin and Feng Zuo fell silent.

"This old cunning guy doesn't reveal anything, he only knows how to ask for tea, salt, or an iron pot. He is worse than a man who beats the autumn wind." Zhang Jin said bitterly: "Are all these Tatars on the grassland like this?"

"Haha, we Han people are not much better. The bustling world is all about profit, and the bustle in the world is all about profit. Who is not like this?" Feng Ziying leaned comfortably on the wool-stuffed cloth mat, very calmly, "I want them to work hard.

, How can such a good thing happen without spending money?"

There was a strong smell of sheep in the tent. He had no choice but to wear sheepskin robes, eat mutton, and drink goat milk. However, he quickly adapted to it after a few days here. He even had this smell on his body. He didn't know what to do after he returned.

Will Jin Chuaer, Xiang Ling and Yun Shang be knocked down? I guess Sister Lin will faint directly?

"Ziying, what should we do next?" Zhang Jin was also a little worried. He had been here for several days, and Bu Shitu avoided seeing him. He only said that he was going out, but everyone knew that he was less than two miles away in a straight line.

place.

"There's no rush, haste makes waste, Shitu is trying to test our patience." Feng Ziying seemed to be very patient at this time, "The more this happens, it means that Shitu is more ambitious, um

, it can even be said that the more eager he is, if it was really unintentional or half-hearted, I am afraid he would have seen us long ago, and there is no need to keep us waiting here. "

"Brother Keng is right." Feng Zuo also nodded, "Bu Shitu needs us, unless he really doesn't want the throne of Tumet Khan and the King of Shunyi, but he is afraid that he will pay too much and get nothing in the end, so he wants to

Let’s see what we can come up with that will tempt and reassure him.”

"But we don't have time." Zhang Jin said solemnly.

The original agreement was that there should be a result within a month. If there is no result within a month, then the court may have to talk to Su Nangtai Kyi, and that can solve the immediate problem, but it may cause greater trouble in the future.

A unified, powerful and even well-established Tumut is not in the interests of the Zhou Dynasty.

"Master Zhang, the more this time comes, the more we have to show that we are not in a hurry." Feng Ziying shook her head, "I believe that as soon as Zhuli Rabbit and Zai Seng meet, the fortune telling rabbit will not be able to sit still.

It's time for Shitu to get worried."
