In the center surrounded by the tents, there is a large open space, which is very wide and can accommodate the gathering of thousands of soldiers.
There were armed soldiers all around, with spears or knife handles wrapped in animal skins, walking back and forth slowly.
In the middle of the open space, there were crowds of people like a market, with herds of cattle and sheep, and many men, women, old and young, busy in the middle. These were Tatar herdsmen captured by the Oara army. They were being organized to slaughter the livestock.
.
The livestock must be fed while they are alive. The Tatar army even robs the fodder for the war horses, so there is no spare time to feed them. It is the cold winter season, and the livestock can be saved even if they are slaughtered, so it is a good idea to use these captured slaves for processing.
There were not many blood stains on the ground. The shepherds on the grassland, regardless of age or sex, all had excellent skills in slaughtering livestock. With only a palm-sized knife, they could kill, skin, decompose, and bleed an livestock.
It's not wasted. The whole process, even a few drops of blood spilled on the ground, is considered poor craftsmanship.
After the livestock is slaughtered, the hide, mao, rou, horns, tendons, glue, bones, etc. must be classified and processed. The whole body of the livestock is a treasure, and every part has a great use. It is wealth and cannot be wasted.
The herdsmen responsible for slaughtering the livestock looked numb. Many of the livestock were originally used as food for this winter, so it was not a pity to slaughter them. Many others were selected as female animals for next year, ready to reproduce and be used as seeds, but now they have also been slaughtered.
But the rise and fall of tribes on the grassland, the phenomenon of being masters one day and slaves tomorrow is commonplace for everyone.
They are highly adaptable and can face reality: today you are my vassal, and tomorrow you defeat me, I will be your vassal; today I am her wife, and tomorrow you will take her captive, and I will be yours.
Pillow mat, I will give you a son and a daughter. It is not easy to survive on the grassland. The existence of life is based on integrity, chastity and emotion. Knowing that becoming a slave is the best outcome, so they soon
Entering the role, he worked hard with all his heart.
In a gray and shabby tent, Sakura stood there, her face turned green with cold, she pinched her cheeks and seemed to be frozen.
This was a tent for slaves, and there was naturally no carpet on the ground. It would be more difficult for her to sit down, so she could only stand.
Suddenly, a team of soldiers, armored and well-dressed, walked towards the tent surrounded by a man. Those who were patrolling the field, pointing out the women who were working on the field, who looked decent, planned to wait for the slaughter of the livestock.
As soon as the work was over, the soldiers who were dragged back to the tent to present Yinyu saw this scene and knew that the noble man was coming, so they all avoided it and returned to their tents. If the remaining women were selected, they would not be the same.
It's a bad thing, at least she can have a warmer place to stay, can eat more food than others, and has a greater hope of survival.
As for those ordinary slaves, whether they are cold or hungry, they have to leave it to their fate to survive. In this cruel living environment, beautiful women are far more likely to survive than ordinary people.
The group of people stopped in front of the tent where Sakura was imprisoned. They lined up on the left and right, and while they stood there, one person strode into the tent with four guards.
She is Mrs. Huo'a. She wears a precious sea dragon leather jacket on her upper body, a fox fur glove on her lower body, and a pair of cowhide felt boots. They have a good thermal insulation effect and are easy to ride, but they are just a little uncomfortable.
The bulky clothes concealed her enchanting figure that made all living beings upside down. Because she wore a mink fur hat on her head, and the fur hat covered her ears, she even concealed her seductive face.
From a distance, she looks like a noble leader with a fair face and graceful bearing. Only when you get close can you clearly see her charming facial features and a pair of watery peach blossom eyes. These peach blossom eyes are at this moment.
Containing an evil spirit, she stared at Xiaoying coldly. After a long time, Mrs. Huo A slowly uttered a sentence: "Ulan Tuya, hello! You are very good!"
Xiaoying already knew that she had fallen into the pursuers sent by Mrs. Huo'a. After her identity was revealed, she knew that she would definitely meet Mrs. Huo'a. At this moment, she looked calm and unflustered, just looking towards Huo'a.
The lady bowed and said calmly: "Ulan Tuya has seen Hatun!"
"I thought you died in the battle with the three kings in Hashiha, and I was sad for you for a long time..."
At this point, Mrs. Huo'a's fair face turned red with anger: "Ulantuya! Although you and I are distant relatives, since you defected to me, I have treated you like a close relative, which is really not bad! You
Why did you leave without saying goodbye and defected to Arutai? As soon as our Wala army entered the Tartars, we were attacked by surprise. They knew our marching route very well. I have never figured it out, but it turned out that you were the informer! Why? Why are you like this?
Do!"
Xiaoying had known that this matter could not be hidden, and Mrs. Huo'a would definitely be able to find out the truth from other captured generals. She had already thought of a way to say it, and then she gently lowered her eyes and said calmly: "Because
, I don’t want to marry the Great Khan!”
Xiaoying slowly raised her eyes and said softly: "Hatun has a bad fate. Although I hold the power now, rule a place, and belong to myself for the rest of my life, have I ever been able to control myself? Wulantuya doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of Hatun. I have nothing.
, now only this body belongs to me, and I want to give it to someone I love!"
Mrs. Huo'a laughed: "Absurd! Extremely absurd! Man? Hahaha, are the reeds on the meadow reliable? I can give you a reed, can it be used as a walking stick? Only wealth, power, and territory are real.
You still have such illusions! Just because of this, you betrayed me? You said that we sent troops to attack the Tatars, where did you get the information? "
Sakura said nothing, just closed her eyes, her long and neat eyelashes covered her eyes, and raised her chin slightly, as if she was ready to do whatever you wanted.
A guard next to Mrs. Huo'a shouted: "How dare you not answer Hatun's question!" If he didn't answer, Mrs. Huo'a smiled coldly and said: "Okay! I treat you as if I were my own child, but you betrayed me.
I defected to Arutai, so what if we take care of Arutai?"

It was freezing and snowy, the road was blocked by heavy snow, and there were no pedestrians. However, in the vast snowfield, there was a group of people trudging forward.
The snow is knee-deep and the horses can no longer run freely. Once they stop, they have to be wrapped in cold-proof wraps, belly wraps, and felt blankets to prevent the horses from freezing. This is not the time to travel on horseback, so
More than a hundred people were divided into a dozen sledges, which were pulled by dogs. The people driving the sledges were sledge driving experts recruited from the Nv Zhen clan. Under their control, the sledges were speeding across the snowy fields.
Ding Yu was wearing a sheepskin jacket, cotton jacket, felt boots made of astringent cowhide, and a dog-skin hood. He had a scar on his face that turned his thick eyebrows into white. A gray shadow could be seen in the distance, that
It's a tent. Arutai's station is about to arrive...
At this time, Arutai was receiving a Wala envoy in the big tent.
Arutai's grain and grass were burned, and he was furious. He began to suspect that there were enemy spies within him, because the place where the grain and grass were stationed was very secret. Even most people in his own tribe didn't know about it. But since everyone who knew the details was
It was the core personnel of Tatar. He really couldn't guess who leaked the secret.
At present, the Tatars were in danger, and it was impossible for him to launch a large-scale campaign to clean up the interior. In order to stabilize people's hearts, he had to put the matter aside and ask Liaodong for food for the time being, and at the same time, he urgently asked the Ming Emperor for mediation.
Because the discipline had been manipulated, the development of the situation was beyond Xia Xun's control. The emergency measures that needed to be taken involved military, political, diplomatic and other major aspects. Without the emperor's permission, Xia Xun could not mobilize troops and horses to do it.
There was no arrangement, so he hurriedly wrote a memorial and reported it to the emperor first. At this moment, the imperial edict had not yet been issued. Ding Yu received a message from Arutai asking for food and learned that the Tatars were defeated, so he hurriedly came to investigate the latest situation.
.
Liaodong will become the main force to take over the Tatars. Ding Yu is one of the only three people in Liaodong who knows Xia Xun's overall plan, so he naturally understands this task. The other two people are the commander-in-chief Zhang Jun and the chief envoy Wan Shiyu. Since
When he learned of the sudden change in Tatar, of course he had to take a closer look in order to understand it clearly and prepare for the Liaodong attack.
Although Arutai suffered heavy losses, fortunately he still had Liaodong as a backer, so he did not despair. He had a head-on confrontation with the Wala side. Although he suffered heavy losses, he also inflicted heavy losses on the Wala side. Arutai was defeated.
Although he had several generals, he also captured several generals from Wala, including Mandulatu, the general from Wala who burned his food and fodder.
The most important factor that allowed him to stabilize his military morale was that during the war, King Wala Xianyi, who came with his troops to kill Taiping, was killed by a stray arrow. This was the good news that he learned only after cleaning up the battlefield. Now Taiping is
The heads were hanging on the high pole outside the tent. With this straw, the Tatar tribes, which were about to collapse, finally boosted their morale and prevented them from falling apart.
The envoy from Wala was not sent by the Great Khan "Tuotuobuhua", but by Huahatun. Mandu Latu was a wise and courageous general under Huahatun.
Huo Aha Tun was a persistent supporter of Huo Aha Tun. His capture was a big blow to Huo Aha Tun. Huo Aha Tun sent someone to send a message that he was willing to exchange Wulantuya Jiao for Mandu Latu, and both sides would exchange generals.
.
Arutai was at the top. As soon as he heard the envoy explaining his purpose, he laughed loudly and said: "Absurd! How dare Ahatun'an threaten this king with a wife! You can change it if you want. If you change your horse and general, naturally the general will be replaced."
, my king’s general Ars Leng was captured by your Wala, if you exchange him for him, I will agree!”
Arsi Leng's father, Lord Narisong, the leader of the Chaba cadre, heard this and couldn't help but give Arutai a grateful look.
The envoy of Huo A Hatun said: "Alsi Leng was captured by the tribe of Xianyi King Taiping. Lord Taiping died in the battle. The tribe is in a violent mood. How can Hatun go to Xianyi King in order to replace his own general?
The tribe is asking for help? As far as I know, this Wulantuya is the righteous daughter of the king. It was her who informed the king that he won the first battle and annihilated my 20,000-strong army of Wala. She has great contributions to the king. The king really has the heart to do so.
Ignore it?"
Arutai's eyes turned cold, and he shouted sternly: "I have great ambitions in the world, so why should I care about a mere woman? It is said that she is just a Wulantuya, even if she is my biological mother, a daughter, and my wife.
, It’s not a pity! If you want to change, let my beloved general come back, otherwise, it will just be a life-and-death situation, what’s the point!”
