"It's easy to talk, it's easy to talk..." Seeing Arutai's magnanimity, Germa felt a little embarrassed, and his attitude became a little better. "Seeing that the grand master's demeanor remains the same, we feel relieved." After a pause, he said: "It's just that
I wonder where the Grand Master and his army came from and where they are going?"
"I came from the desert and originally planned to pursue the Ming army. Unfortunately, I was hit repeatedly and my troops were stretched thin. I didn't dare to attack rashly!" Arutai said with a sad look on his face.
"Oh?" Germa and Cha Kehan looked at each other, and the latter asked: "So, the Ming army has really withdrawn?"
"Yes." Arutai nodded and said, "As I promised, they were about to run out of food, so they led the army out of the desert. Unexpectedly, they were a step too late. The scouts who visited the camp said that they had been running away for a long time." As he said this,
Arutai looked at the three people of Germa, and said with envy and jealousy: "Looking at the direction the three of them came from, they have already visited the Ming army camp. There should be a lot of good things, right?"
"It's just like that." The three people from Germa couldn't hide their pride on their faces, and they said in their hearts, it's not just a lot, the Ming army fled, leaving all their belongings behind. They also pretended to say clearly: "
They’re all junk stuff, nothing serious.”
"Hey, I'm a step late again." Arutai couldn't hide the frustration on his face, and couldn't help but sigh: "This expedition was too embarrassing. Not only did the tribe lose more than half of their lives, but they didn't catch anything."
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "No, we must catch up with those officers and soldiers and make up for the losses!"
"What a great idea!" The three people from Germa were naturally happy to see the success, and they all sent their sincere blessings: "Hurry up and set off, the Ming army hasn't escaped yet!"
"Don't be afraid if they run far away. They have run out of food and will definitely move slower and slower."
"Have a nice trip, Grand Master."
Hearing them talking sarcastically there, Arutai looked surprised and said, "Why, don't you guys chase me together?"
"Ah, you want us to chase you together?" Germa asked.
"If you don't come together, what's the use of my few men and horses?" Arutai was obviously a little annoyed and said loudly: "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The Ming army has at least more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, so I'm not afraid of you either.
What a joke, there are only more than 10,000 people right now, why should we catch up and deliver food to people?"
"Hey, don't be anxious, don't be anxious," Cha Kehan quickly reassured Arutai: "We didn't say we wouldn't pursue it, but the request from the Grand Master was too sudden. We need to give us some time to calculate the total, right?
"
"Ah, that's what I mean!" Germa also nodded and said: "Let's put it all together and give the Grand Master an answer."
"Then... okay..." Arutai was the one begging for help now. Naturally, he couldn't put on the grand master's airs, so he could only say in a low voice: "But we have to hurry up, otherwise the Ming army will run away..."
"Let's do it as soon as possible, as soon as possible."
After bidding farewell to Arutai, the three of them returned to the army and started discussing.
"What do you think should be done?" Germa looked at Chakohan and Darhan and said hesitantly: "To pursue or not to pursue?"
Although they came to fight with the Ming army, they had already obtained a lot of spoils. Germa really wanted to give up when he got good, and did not want to go through the trouble of chasing rabbits again.
"Then what else is there to say? Let's get over it!" Darhan naturally said with high spirits: "Even the coward Arutai dares to chase him. If we don't chase him, we won't be looked down upon!"
"Brother, what do you mean?" Germa shouted to Darhan and looked directly at Chakohan.
"This time I have the same idea as Darkhan." Chakohan twirled his beard and shook his head and said: "First of all, the Ming army has no food and grass. If they hang back for a few days, they will be dead. If we don't chase them,
, isn’t it just a waste of advantage to Arutai?” After a pause, he looked at Germa and said: “Chief, what kind of person is the Duke of Zhen? If we kill him, we can directly shake up the grassland. We are obviously the ones who forced him to run away with his head in his arms.
, we can’t let Arutena’s grandson pick peaches!”
"That's right!" Seeing that Cha Kehan rarely supported him, Darhan shouted excitedly: "After killing the Ming army, we just took advantage of the opportunity to go to Hetao to plunder. The relationship is so exciting!"
"Yeah." Germa nodded and asked Cha Kehan: "What else?"
"This is a God-given opportunity for us to dominate the grassland!" Zha Kehan said more and more vigorously: "The grassland has always had three heroes standing side by side. Now the Oara has long been worth mentioning, and the Tatars have become crippled. However, we have strong soldiers and horses, and we are alone.
! As long as Wang Xian is killed, all the tribes on the grassland will have to bow to us! Don’t you want the leader to take the opportunity to clear our names?"
"Well..." Germa still nodded, but his eyes were obviously fierce. Speaking of which, there are three heroes standing side by side on the grassland, but the tribes have always only respected the Tatars and Oaras, and no one took them seriously. 1
They came because they lived in Liaodong and had insufficient influence on the grasslands, but more importantly, because they defected to the Ming Dynasty and were always looked down upon by various ministries.
Now, with the weakening of the two powers and the dominance of the Ulyanha family, Germa's mind gradually became more active. Why can you Mahamu and Arutai dominate the grassland and command the tribes? I, Germa,
Can’t you just live with the addiction of the Mongolian Grand Master?
"Ten thousand steps back," although there were no outsiders around, Cha Kehan still lowered his voice, as if he felt that his thoughts were a bit shameful. "Even if we can't catch up with the Ming army in the end, we can still take the opportunity to kill Arutai and swallow
Get rid of his 10,000 troops and his tribe in Mobei."
Here, Zha Kehan’s own little thoughts are involved. He has always been called the first wise man in the three tribes of Wuliangha. But Zha Kehan is very dissatisfied with this title. His goal is to become the first wise man in the Mongolian grassland. But
This title currently belongs to Arutai. In Chakohan's opinion, the best way to snatch it away is to kill Arutai directly!
"Yes!" Germa nodded heavily, and finally made up his mind: "Since this business is guaranteed to make a profit without losing any money, what else is there to say? Let's settle it!"
"Kill them!" Darhan jumped up excitedly and immediately got on his horse and shouted: "Young boys, follow me to cut them!"
"Don't be a tiger!" But Cha Kehan grabbed him and cursed: "The Ming army still has thirty or forty thousand people, what are you going to do when you are so anxious?"
"Yes," Germa nodded and said, "Let Alutai take the lead, and when he is almost exhausted, we will go out to close the stall!"
"That's so boring..." Darhan immediately shivered.
An angry Chakohan slapped him and said, "Why did your father give birth to such a useless thing like you?"
"Don't fight, don't fight, I'm just addicted to talking..." Darhan's father had just died. He had only been the leader for a few days, but he still didn't dare to challenge the two old uncles.
When Zha Kehan finished teaching Darhan, Germa was a little unsure and said, "Well, if we do this, can Arutai agree?"
"Now he is begging us, and we have to agree even if we don't agree!" Cha Kehan said very firmly...
Sure enough, as Cha Kehan expected, although Arutai was very dissatisfied with being asked to fight in the front line, he had no choice but to do anything. The two sides argued all night, and at dawn, Arutai had to lead his 10,000 troops to set off.
Seeing the 10,000 Tatars heading west, Germa smiled at Chakohan, who went to the Tatar camp to negotiate in person: "Brother, I really have you, and the old fox really agreed."
"What can we do if he doesn't agree? Besides, I saved him face." Cha Kehan said proudly: "I told him that we can join forces, but we have come a long way and are not familiar with the terrain, so we have to bother too much.
The teacher leads the way, and we follow behind."
"Oh, haha!" Germa laughed with satisfaction: "You found this step well, he has to agree even if he doesn't agree." Then he asked: "Do you see clearly? Tatars are now all
What's going on?"
"It's quite miserable. They are all in rags, but they are still energetic. I talked with them and they all held their breath and wanted to avenge the Ming army." Cha Kehan recalled that he was in Tatar.
The situation seen in the military camp and the condition of the Tatar soldiers were exactly the same as what had been predicted. "Arutai only has these few troops right now, so he shouldn't have any backup plans."
"That's good!" Germa was completely reassured and said with a smile, "Let them vent their anger, and we can just follow behind and watch the show!"
After an hour of waiting for the Tatars to leave, Germa ordered the army to break out of camp and slowly followed them with the captured trophies.
In the next few days, the Tatars were in front and the Duoyan people were behind, leisurely pursuing the traces of the Ming army. Arutai was not a fool. Although he shouted that he was anxious, he would never be in the Ming army.
He rushed forward before he completely lost his fighting power. Arutai was not in a hurry, and the Duoyan people were even less anxious. Anyway, there was plenty of time, so just use it up slowly.
On this day, they tracked to the place where the Ming army camped the previous day and saw horse bones everywhere, at least hundreds of them.
Chakohan was overjoyed when he saw this. He picked up a long rib and laughed at Germa: "The Ming army has gone crazy with hunger and actually started killing horses to satisfy their hunger!"
"Haha! The Han people have a saying, called Uncle Yin to quench his thirst. Isn't that what he is referring to..." Germa was also overjoyed and said: "This is really the way to die!"
The Duoyan nobles next to him all praised him, "The big boss is really cultured! He uses idioms very well!"
Although Zha Kehan knew that drinking poison to quench thirst, he naturally would not slap Germa in the face and started to flatter him.
In the following days, every time I went to the camp of the Ming army, I would see numerous horse bones. However, after a few days, fewer and fewer horse bones were found. Darhan felt very strange and asked: "Could it be that the Ming army found another horse bone?"
Got food?”
"Hahaha!" Germa and Chakohan looked at Darhan with idiotic eyes. Chakohan laughed loudly and said: "Silly boy! This means that the Ming army is almost out of horses!"
"Then what are Arutai waiting for?" Every time Darhan felt frustrated, he would vent his anger on Arutai. "Let's fix it quickly!"
"Well." Germa's patience was almost exhausted, and she said to Chakohan: "Uncle, go and urge Arutai to stop the ink stains and fix it!"
"It's time." Chakohan nodded. He was actually responsible for supervising the army, and of course he was supervising the Tatar army.
