In October, the cold wind was blowing on the grassland, and the herdsmen were already preparing for the coming winter, and they were all waiting for Huang Taiji to start exchanging materials with Mao Wenlong.

This directly leads to the fact that Huang Taiji now has no way to retreat, either to fight directly with Mao Wenlong, or to pinch his nose and obediently hand over 100,000 war horses. Both are unwilling to face Huang Taiji.

If he starts fighting, he has no confidence to beat Mao Wenlong at this time, and it is very likely that he will not even be able to defeat Jiayuguan, and there will be many more casualties among his subordinates. And handing over 100,000 war horses means that in a few years, he Emperor Taiji will no longer be able to harass Daming.

"Damn ......"

Huang Taiji thought about it all night, but he couldn't think of a way to solve the dilemma he was facing, and he suddenly felt suffocated. was almost forced to a dead end by Mao Wenlong, there are only two days left, and he must make a choice in these two days, otherwise, his sweat position may not be guaranteed.

Now all the tribes have a lot of opinions about him, and those old guys of the tribe have begun to unite, once there is any trouble, they are likely to abolish his sweat position, and then go to exchange materials with Mao Wenlong.

"Mao Wenlong, count you ruthless!" Huang Taiji roared helplessly in his heart.

Then, calling the adjutant general, he wrote a letter about his decision to Agureh and sent it to them. Huang Taiji's decision was to agree to Mao Wenlong's request and send 100,000 war horses.

When Agulie received the news, he was not the slightest surprised, in his opinion, Huang Taiji was a wise choice. Although this wound will take several years to recover, it is much better than nothing.

Without any hesitation, Agulie informed Mao Wenlong of the news as soon as possible. The latter laughed when they heard this, and promised Agulie that they would be able to transport all the things they needed to Jiayuguan within three days.

And Agulie also promised that within three days, those things that need to be replaced will also be sent outside Jiayu Pass. At that time, the two armies could be directly replaced outside Jiayu Pass, and both sides had no opinion on this, and Agulie hurriedly resigned and left.

After sending Agulie away, Chen Qiyu immediately complimented Mao Wenlong: "The general army has no last resort, and his subordinates admire it." ”

Mao Wenlong glanced at Chen Qiyu and chuckled, "Okay, don't say anything flattering." This time, we made Huang Taiji vomit a mouthful of blood, which was completely an opportunity given by God, not how powerful I was. Now do you know where the supplies are being delivered? ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Chen Qiyu's face, but he recovered quickly. Compliments to his superiors, which was his previous habit. The habit of falling from many years of officialdom may not be able to be changed in this life.

In the face of Mao Wenlong's dislike, he will always compliment him inadvertently, but fortunately, he knows that his compliment to Mao Wenlong is from the heart, not the previous hypocrisy. Therefore, there is no need to go through the explanation.

"General soldier, according to yesterday's report, the team transporting supplies has now marched to the Beijing Division. If nothing else, you will be able to arrive at Jiayuguan in two days. Chen Qiyu recalled for a moment, and then replied affirmatively.

"Hmm!"

Mao Wenlong nodded with satisfaction: "You can't be careless in this exchange of materials, especially the 100,000 war horses, which must be strictly controlled." Remember, unqualified war horses don't want to be replaced, you can ask Huang Taiji to replace them immediately, if they dare to disobey, the replacement can be terminated at any time. ”

This time, Mao Wenlong did not make the slightest concession, and he had to make Huang Taiji unable to pose any threat to the Ming border for at least three years. And these three years is the golden time for the entire north to recover.

With the horses, cattle and sheep obtained this time, Mao Wenlong believes that in less than a year, the entire North will be able to return to its former prosperity. Even more than when Chongzhen was in power, it was not impossible.

In the face of Mao Wenlong's advice, Chen Qiyu immediately promised: "Chief soldier, please rest assured, his subordinates will not let Huang Taiji have any chance to cheat." ”

Mao Wenlong waved his hand to let Chen Qiyu retreat to do errands, he turned around and ordered Haoda, began to pack up, and returned to Xi'an early tomorrow morning.

There is no need for Mao Wenlong to stay in Jiayuguan, Huang Taiji's side is suppressed to death, and there is no chance to turn over at all. As for the exchange of materials, he believes that Chen Qiyu will arrange it properly.

This means that there is no need for him to stay here, and he can go home to reunite with his family.

The Dongjiang Army was transporting supplies, and the herdsmen on the grassland were not idle.

After returning to the grassland, Agulie discussed with the elders of other tribes how to gather 100,000 horses.

Huang Taiji was also present, and he took the lead in speaking: "There are nearly twenty tribes, large and small, and there are seven large tribes, and each family has 10,000 is 70,000. And the remaining 30,000, and the remaining small tribes have joined forces to make up enough numbers, what do you think of this arrangement? ”

There was a heated discussion below, and after a while, Agulie responded to Huang Taiji as a representative: "The Great Khan's proposal, everyone thinks it is reasonable, and all of us support the Great Khan's proposal. ”

After agreeing on the agreement, the elders of the tribes hurriedly took their leave, and for the next three days, they had to arrange what needed to be replaced in the tribe.

As this cold winter is approaching, the herdsmen on the grasslands are different from previous years and begin to become lively.

The herdsmen are happy to take out the surplus cattle and sheep to replace them for the winter. The only thing that made them sad was the war horses that needed to be sent, which made them very reluctant but helpless.

Agulie looked at the people in the tribe and reluctantly sent the war horses one by one, and his mood was also heavy. But he had to cheer up and encourage everyone to cheer up, after all, the war horse can be raised again if it is gone.

If there are no supplies to survive the cold winter, and the already small population is greatly reduced, it will be more than worth the loss.

Compared to the busyness of the elders in various tribes, Huang Taiji left all the troubles to the deputy general to worry about. After he was free, he went to the courtyard where Wu Sangui was being held alone.

Compared with the previous scenery, Wu Sangui has become an out-and-out old man, not to mention his decadent expression, but his face looks much older.

"Lord Wu has been doing well lately, why haven't you seen you for half a month, but you have become like this?" Huang Taiji pretended to care about Wu Sangui's body.

Glancing at the hypocritical Huang Taiji, Wu Sangui didn't bother to pay attention to it, still slightly closed his eyes, stared at the sky blankly, and said nothing.
