Ugeqiha Shiha's courage to "rather starve to death than eat the food that came to him" did not last long. As night fell, he could feel the horror of hunger more and more.
He tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so he had to get up, lie on the ground, and kept groping with his hands in the dark. When he finally touched the beef, he couldn't wait to put it into his mouth and bite it. Even if the beef was clean, he couldn't wait.
He didn't care whether there was mud on it or not.
Therefore, when Han Du saw Uge Qiha Shiha being brought by his own soldiers, he saw a haggard look on his face.
It has only been a few days, but why does Ugqi Hashha look like he has aged twenty years all of a sudden? If his facial features and clothes were not exactly the same as Han Du remembered, Han Du would have suspected it.
It's not like someone dropped the package.
"The defeated general Ugeqi Hashha paid a visit to the Marquis of Zhenhai of the Ming Dynasty."
Xu Chengfei helped Han Du explain.
Han Du smiled, raised his hand, and said with a smile, "Get up."
After Xu Chengfei said this to Uge Qiha Shiha, he stood up.
Han Du looked at him and continued, "I came to you this time because I want to ask you something. Are you familiar with how to get to Timur's empire?"
Not only do you need guides in the mountains, but you also need guides when marching on the vast grasslands. Otherwise, if there is not even a person who knows the way, how can you go where you want to go? ???
Even if Han Du has a compass, it can only guarantee that he will not lose his way. For example, if Han Du wants to return to the Ming Dynasty, it is very simple, just walk directly to the south. As long as he keeps walking, he will always go.
To the territory of Ming Dynasty.
But if you want to go to the Timurid Empire, it's completely different. Handu only knows that the Timurid Empire is in the west, but he doesn't know in which direction it is. You can't lead a large army and rush towards the west, right?
This is completely different from going south. Going west involves the Gobi Desert and the desert. If you rush into the desert, you will be seeking your own death.
On the grassland, the best way is to follow the river. This was also the advice Azashili began to give to Handu.
Because walking along the river, there will be no shortage of water. And there must be fertile land on both sides of the river, with plenty of green grass to feed cattle and sheep. There will be no shortage of food and water.
So what to do in places where there are no rivers? This requires knowing where there are water sources and where there are rich aquatic plants.
Here, others may not know all of this clearly, but as the King of Wala, Uge Qiha Shiha will definitely know.
"The Marquis of Zhenhai wants to go to Timur's Empire?" Ugqiha
Shiha looked at Han Du in great surprise.
Originally, he thought that Han Du came to attack Oara this time, and now that he had won a complete victory, he would return to the court. But he did not expect that Han Du actually wanted to go to the Timurid Empire.
The Timurid Empire is a unique powerful country near Oara. Oara is naturally related to the Timurid Empire, and naturally it is no stranger to how to get to the Timurid Empire.
Han Du smiled, looked at Ugqi Hashha with a meaningful look, and then said, "I want to take a look."
In such a short sentence, Han Du was not willing to say more than one word.
It was made so mysterious that Ugeqihashiha was even more heartbroken, and he desperately wanted to find out Han Du's purpose of going to Timur's empire. However, Ugqihashiha still endured it.
He figured out that his situation was over now. Neither the Timurid Empire nor the Ming Dynasty would take him seriously. Even if he asked, it would be in vain.
So he immediately said, "I naturally know the way to Timur. If Marquis Zhenhai wants, I can tell you. However, I have a request, which I hope Marquis Zhenhai can agree to."
"What request?" Han Du was quite surprised. He originally thought that Uge Qiha Shiha would fight to the death without speaking, but he didn't expect that he only made one request and was willing to tell him the route.
Han Du decided that even if Uge Qiha Shiha's request was a little too much, Han Du would try his best to satisfy him.
Such a road is too important on the grassland
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a lifeline.
"I really can't eat beef. I wonder if the Marquis of Zhenhai can roast a lamb every day?"
Han Du looked at Uge Qiha Shiha blankly. No matter how hard he racked his brains, he never thought that he would make such a request.
"All you want is a roasted lamb every day?"
"If so, if Marquis Zhenhai doesn't want to, then half a half is fine." Ugqiha Shiha thought Han Du wouldn't agree.
But he didn't expect that Han Du suddenly burst into laughter. With a smile in his eyes and a teasing tone, he said, "No, no, no, you misunderstood. Just one, one roasted lamb every day, I can still take it out."
of."
Then he sent Ugqi Hashha away.
After Ugqi Hashiha left, Xu Chengfei sighed with all his heart.
"I heard that King Wala was also a hero on the grassland, but I didn't expect that he would sell everything just for a bite to eat."
Han Du smiled and almost burst into tears. He said intermittently, "What kind of hero? Anyone who throws suffering on others at will is always a bear, not a hero. A real hero takes the suffering of others onto himself!"
Xu Chengfei's expression was a little stiff. Although he was born in the army, he had read and written before. He knew the weight of Han Du's words and couldn't help but be surprised and said, "How can you make sense in a war? What on earth are you doing?"
Where did the great Confucian state of mind come from?"
Han Du sneered disapprovingly, "What kind of great scholar? Do you think you are a great scholar just by saying a few words that are thought-provoking?"
"Isn't it?" Xu Chengfei's face was full of surprise, "Do you know how many scholars in this world have worked hard for a lifetime, or even ten lifetimes, just for these two sentences from your mouth?
Can’t find it?”
"Okay, okay, okay." Seeing that Xu Chengfei was getting more outrageous as he spoke, Han Du quickly interrupted him with a wave of his hand, pointed around and said, "Who am I to be a great scholar? Have you ever seen a great scholar with hundreds of thousands of troops?"
"
Xu Chengfei was speechless. Although he could not refute Han Du's words, his eyes could not help but wander back and forth on Han Du, as if he wanted to see something from Han Du. .??.
When Ugqihashiha returned to the ger, every once in a while, two soldiers would bring him roasted lamb on a huge wooden tray.
Of course this is not freshly roasted. How could a whole lamb be roasted so quickly?
This is what Handu plans to bake and eat for himself. Since Ugqihashiha wants it, there is no harm in giving it to him.
Moreover, Han Du also specifically ordered the soldiers, Uge Qiha Shiha, to be sure to let other prisoners see when eating roasted sheep.
So, on an open-air desk, there was a whole roasted lamb.
Ugqi Hashiha was sitting behind the desk, using a short knife to quickly cut off the roasted crispy lamb, and stuffed it into his mouth. The roasted lamb tasted much better than the beef cubes, which were just like beef cubes.
Like a stone, the roasted lamb is crispy and tender, filling your mouth with fragrance and oil when you bite it.
Opposite Ugeqi Hashiha, all the prisoners were looking at this side eagerly.
With so many people standing opposite, it is impossible for Ugqi Hashiha not to notice it, but now his eyes only have the roasted lamb in front of him, and there is no room for anything else.
Han Du and Xu Chengfei stood behind, watching this scene with smiles.
Xu Chengfei couldn't help but asked, "What do you want to do with this move?"
Han Du clasped his hands behind his back and looked like he was holding a pearl of wisdom, "Humph! Don't these Meng Yuan people admire heroes the most and value the blood of the Golden Family the most? I just want them to know what the heroes they respect are.
thing."
Xu Chengfei ""
Looking at Xu Chengfei's dazed look for a moment, Han Du said, "The Meng Yuan people are not so much worshiping the Blue Wolf and White Deer as they are worshiping the Golden Family. As long as this worship belief still exists, then they will worship again."
Being unified under the Golden Tent will once again threaten the Ming Dynasty's borders."
"Tell me, is there any way to prevent this grassland from being unified again?
?」
After saying that, Han Du looked at Xu Chengfei with a proud look.
Xu Chengfei pondered for a while before saying, "Either let the bloodline of the Golden Family be completely cut off or the faith of the Mengyuan people be broken."
Han Du couldn't help but nodded and said with a smile, "That's right, but I think it's better to have a two-pronged approach."
Xu Chengfei felt his heart was clogged, but he had to admit that what Han Du said made sense. Why should we make a choice? Can't we do both? Obviously it is possible.
Xu Chengfei looked complicated and said, "If you let him lead the way, aren't you afraid that he will take us somewhere else on purpose?"
Han Du laughed loudly and said, "If he obediently shows us the way, even if he returns to the capital in the future, the emperor will inevitably reward him with a title and let him enjoy a lifetime of happiness. If he dares to play tricks on us, then I will kill him
Roasted on the lamb rack!"
The two of them got tired after talking for a while. At that moment, they stopped talking and went back to their tents to rest.
Perhaps it was because I slept so well last night. When I woke up the next day, the army had already packed up and was ready to go.
With the guidance of Uge Qiha Shiha, the army marched very smoothly. There were abundant water sources along the way for the army to draw from.
Azashili led the Ulyanha cavalry to the front. The Ulyanha cavalry had tasted the sweetness, and every one of them seemed to have been pumped. As long as they saw someone, they would rush forward with red eyes and kill them.
Regardless of whether they are scattered herdsmen or small and medium-sized tribes, no one is spared.
Anyway, things like fighting and annexation between various tribes are happening every day on the grassland, and they have long been commonplace. For the Uliangha cavalry, it is even more unbearable. Even in their eyes, those Mongolian people
