Chapter 282 Even though there are thousands of people, I will go
As the sun sets, the desert in the dusk is littered with corpses, with broken limbs and broken arms everywhere. The flesh and blood of humans and horses are mixed together, stained with yellow sand.
Batu's army was invading Heshan's camp. Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling mingled behind him and saw that there was no massacre as expected. After all, they were from the same clan. Once the "chief culprit" was eliminated and the flags in the camp were changed, it would be a direct victory.
Batu's power can be converted so easily that it doesn't even take an hour.
In fact, this is not only true for people of the same ethnic group, but also for different ethnic groups, and the snowball gets bigger and bigger.
However, different ethnic groups often form a "franchise" nature, which is different from the system in China.
On the contrary, Helei was once a loyal subordinate who truly surrendered to Timur. Otherwise, he would not have been sent to the Central Plains like a special soldier to cause trouble. Precisely because he was a Dibang, he knew better than anyone else.
The third place on the list is terrible.
But Batu has no such understanding, and ignorance makes him fearless.
Zhao Changhe secretly accused Batu of being ignorant and fearless. Batu also looked at the couple with sideways eyes, secretly exclaiming in his heart that this couple was really fearless.
Do you really dare to follow two people like this, without fear of being turned around and tied up and given to the Khan?
But he knew he didn't dare.
Batu had experienced the Yangzhou incident, and Chi Li once analyzed to him that Zhao Changhe was probably a member of the Suppressing Demon Division, that is, a member of the Daxia officialdom, so the intention of coming here to cause trouble was obvious. And his current situation
His behavior definitely angered the Great Khan. Although he may not be punished, it would be pure stupidity if he didn't leave a way out for himself. Zhao Changhe was the one who sent him a way out, so how could he dare to offend him so easily?
Even though he knew that he had been deceived by his identity as a Maitreya teacher, he did not dare to express his anger. Instead, he showed a generous and hospitable smile: "Come here, put some wine, I want to entertain friends!"
It was said that they were having a banquet, but everyone in the tent retreated. Only the three of them sat in the tent, smiling with their own evil intentions.
Yue Hongling crossed her arms angrily: "When did you and him become friends again?"
Zhao Changhe pulled her to sit down and blinked: "Brother Batu and I fought against each other in Yangzhou. We are both enemies and friends. We cherish each other."
Batu also said: "Just now, Miss Yue saved me. Batu would like to thank you."
As he said this, he picked up the wine bowl and drank it first as a token of respect.
Yue Hongling said with a straight face: "I'm just robbing the horse."
In fact, everyone knows that saving Batu can have strategic significance, and it is tacitly understood.
Batu followed what he heard and said about the horse: "That's a bloody horse from the Western Regions. Someone donated the foal when my uncle went south, but he didn't come back... The horse was taken over by the shameless Heshan himself."
Zhao Changhe said: "In other words, should this horse belong to you?"
Batu waved his hand: "In other words, if Miss Yue captured it during the battle, then it belongs to Miss Yue."
When both parties said this, they both paused for a moment. There was no topic for a while, and they didn't know how to start something more in-depth.
When Zhao Changhe claimed to be Fa Dian, he made the most serious statement to Batu: Brother Batu, I suggest you put away your luck. The person who wants to swallow up your tribe is none other than the Great Khan.
It was this sentence that prompted Batu to swing his sword at Hu Lie, then raise an army to destroy the wild wolves, unite the lions, and start his own tribe's resistance for survival.
But there is a premise, that is, "Fa Dian" claims that "our potential power is great." Batu feels that with foreign help, he dares to think about it.
It turns out that this bastard is not a fadian. This is Zhao Changhe, and the foreign aid has become Daxia... Although he knew that this was the only way, but his uncle had just died in Daxia, and Batu couldn't get over it for a while.
The two sides were silent for a long time, and then Zhao Changhe took a long sip of kumiss and said, "Logically, there should be many people from Ubalu looking for me near this mountain. Why can't I see you?"
Batu came back to his senses and said casually: "They are looking for you on the top of the mountain where you disappeared... Actually there are not many people, most of them have already evacuated. There is even less people here."
"Withdrawn?"
"Of course, how could Ubalu leave his army in the mountains to find just two people?" Batu paused and sneered: "He was mediating between Heshan and me, but my army set off early and deliberately let their envoy attack.
It’s a waste of time to finish this war ahead of schedule. The so-called mediation is nothing more than dividing my tribe in half for a long time. How can I do what he wants?”
Zhao Changhe said: "Then will he come and beat you?"
"Now, his troops are much smaller than mine."
"Then do you dare to hit him?"
"Ubalu is the commander sent by the Great Khan to Huangshaji. If you touch him, you will touch the Great Khan."
"Do you still expect the Great Khan to be kind to you? Or are you just content to unify the tribe and turn around and kneel to Timur again?"
Batu was silent.
When he unified the Shishi tribe, he became a powerful group of princes. When Timur fought in the decisive battle at Yanmen, it was unlikely that he would be at odds with him. Most likely, he would acquiesce in his position as Shishi Khan and then attack Yanmen together.
But it’s hard to say whether they will fall out afterwards.
The logic of the grassland is very simple. If you want to avoid falling out afterward, you must be stronger.
It’s not that Batu doesn’t have an overall plan... Hu Lie is still in his hands. The next step is to rely on this tribe to intimidate Hu Lie. If they can try to annex it, even if they can’t annex it, they can exchange it for a large number of cattle, sheep and horses. By then, the power will be
You can really compete with the Great Khan. Even if the Great Khan wants to fall out, he has to consider the consequences.
In other words, he did not necessarily count on Zhao Changhe, a foreign aid from Great Xia who could not reach the grasslands at all. This was just a fallback path, and its significance was actually relatively small. The best strategy was actually to reconcile with the Khan, express his surrender, and obey the command.
Attack Yanmen, and plot against the Hulie tribe at the same time.
Thinking of this, he didn't even want to socialize with Zhao Changhe too much. If the secret affair with Zhao Changhe were spread to the ears of the Khan, it would be a serious problem.
Just as he was thinking this, a soldier came in and hurried to Batu's side, whispering in a low voice.
Batu frowned and listened, then suddenly smiled at Zhao Changhe: "It's already dark. Brother Zhao will stay here tonight. I have other things to take care of. I won't excuse you for now. Don't be rude."
Zhao Changhe was eating mutton and drinking wine by himself, and said nonchalantly: "Go ahead, go ahead."
Batu smiled and said: "You two may not have lived in a tent on the grassland, so it would be nice to experience it once."
After saying that, he left quickly, and the tent for entertaining guests turned directly into a guest house.
Zhao Changhe gnawed on the leg of lamb, turned around and smiled at Yue Hongling: "Everything is good in the belly of the mountain, except that there is nothing to eat. It is purely filled with energy, and a bird comes out of his mouth. Here he gnaws on the roasted leg of lamb and drinks mare's milk.
, it feels so good.”
Yue Hongling sipped her wine: "This wine is fishy, I don't like it."
Zhao Changhe said: "Want to drink Zhongyuan wine here?"
Yue Hongling said: "What's your idea?"
Zhao Changhe stood up, opened a small crack in the tent and looked outside. There were many torches outside, and some guards were patrolling back and forth, staring nervously.
He smiled slightly: "Batu is too rough in doing things... Let a pig analyze this situation. Everyone should know that Ubalu's envoy has arrived."
Yue Hongling nodded: "Yes."
"Batu was not pushed to a dead end, and did not make the decision to completely fall out with the Great Khan Timur. What he considered was to use the powerful tribe as the backing to make Timur have some scruples and be able to unite the battle. If he continues with this idea
, we have created a brand-new war lion tribe with our own hands to take part in the attack on Yanmen instead of He Lei."
Yue Hongling knew what he meant: "Not only that, if he makes a complete decision, then both of us will be sacrificed."
"There is no such thing as cheap." Under the firelight, Zhao Changhe's eyes were a little cruel: "He can't make a decision, we help him make a decision... But we are just repeating the same trick in front of the Wang family."
Yue Hongling looked at her lover's side face with admiration in her eyes.
When Ubalu's envoy died in Batu's tent, the Great Khan would not listen to your excuses. Batu was speechless and had no other choice but to go all the way to Daxia.
Just like killing Maitreya's messenger in front of Wang Daoning. Maitreya was not present. He would only think that Wang Daoning's majestic heavenly list could not protect the messenger. This was intentional. The same is true here. Tens of thousands of soldiers
, the messenger was assassinated? Who else could you want to kill, Menggui?
However, among thousands of armies, how can assassinating an envoy be compared to a small fight in front of the Wang family?
Zhao Changhe turned to look at her and said with a smile: "This is where tens of thousands of troops are. Are you afraid, my heroine?"
Yue Hongling smiled slightly: "If we join hands with you, we will have millions of soldiers in front of us, so what's the point of fear?"
"Then let's go, the moon is dark and the wind is high, it's a murderous night."
