Cheng Xiaolian's inference is not completely unreasonable, now the grassland north of their Datong Mansion, this grassland is some distance away from the Hetao Plain, and it is naturally the territory of other tribes.

But these people had just fought with Mu Zhan, and the murderous aura on their bodies had not been completely eliminated, and the elders and leaders of these tribes were not fools, so in the face of such a team of killing gods, why bother with them?

If they help the court kill these people in peacetime, if the court's reward is down, if they can change the tribe to a fertile grassland, it can be regarded as a blessing for future generations, but now everyone knows that the words of the court can only be listened to on the grassland, and whoever does what the court says will simply fall from a horse and break his brain.

For example, a few months ago, the imperial court came to the decree to let the big tribe send out 8,000 warriors and the small tribe send out 3,000 warriors, which tribe carried out the orders of the imperial court? These warriors went out, and the tribe was finished.

Therefore, in the face of Cheng Xiaolian's army, which has little oil and water and looks difficult to fight, many tribes have a wait-and-see attitude, and they can't wait for two days, and this army will leave their territory and go west.

It wasn't until the envoy arrived here that the situation changed.

"These people are the soldiers of the former Ming court, and they are going to find trouble for the Qing Emperor, so we might as well unite and kill them, and then show merit to the Manchu Emperor, even if the reward is less, the court can allow each of our tribes to send fewer warriors to fight for them, and it will be profitable, can you really let these people pass through the border?"

At this time, someone stood up to refute him: "What you said is unreasonable, think about it, we don't have warriors now, and the court can't do anything about us, if we fight them, in my opinion, we will have to pay at least twice as many warriors, and then we will be greatly injured, and we will have this big feud!" ”

Wu Tugu had already thought of the lines and waited for them: "Think about it carefully, the Chahar Department was the tribe that we could count on the grassland, and it was the first to stand up and rebel, what was the result?" Now that the Qing Dynasty has not dealt with us, it has not yet freed up its hands, once the civil strife in the Central Plains is pacified, thinking of these things about us, can they endure this breath? At that time, our tribe will really be wiped out. Besides, let's make a move this time, in the way of a tribal alliance, each of the big guys will send a little bit of troops, even if they want to take revenge, can they still find us? When the Qing Dynasty pacifies the world, we can have an excuse, and we can save the lives of the tribe at that time. ”

These words moved all the tribal leaders, so everyone sent men and horses, as little as one or two hundred, and as many as five or six hundred, to gather in the Hetao Plain, intending to do a big deal.

The number of these warriors is not too many, but it is already the result of the elders of the various tribes who have endured the pain and discuss, and this kind of thing obviously cannot be made by the leader alone, and the elders have made this decision after discussion.

In this way, 20,000 soldiers and horses also gathered on the Hetao Plain, of which the most prosperous soldiers and horses are, of course, the three tribes of Wutuo and their three tribes, in the Hetao Plain, in order to show their sincerity, specially dispatched the warriors of the whole clan, intending to take a share of the action in this operation.

And Daniel Zhang of Ningxia got the news and was frightened even if he broke out in a cold sweat, if something happened to His Highness, he would definitely not have a good end, when the time came, His Royal Highness of Daming was killed by the Mongols, Daming's side could not tolerate him, and the Manchu Qing side may not be able to continue to accept him, and he had to end up with a dead clan.

Fortunately, after hard training in these days, I finally got the name of the Ningxia army back, although these 8,000 soldiers are not elite, but they are not like they fell apart in a dozen fights like before.

While Daniel Zhang asked people to deliver news to Yuan Zonghao, he himself took the lead with people, even if he died on the grassland, he had to rush to the grassland as quickly as possible.

And Cheng Xiaolian's army is moving, and he can't receive the news of the carrier pigeons at all, as I said before, these carrier pigeons do not have any special functions, but they are just recognizing their homes, and now he is constantly moving, and the news of the carrier pigeon cannot be transmitted, and he naturally does not know that something big has happened on the grassland.

But Chen Chengan still felt that something was wrong: "Your Highness, something is wrong." ”

Cheng Xiaolian looked relaxed: "You haven't looked at the people of these tribes, they are getting farther and farther away from us, and they don't seem to want to cause trouble, what's the big deal?" ”

Chen Chengan scratched his head: "This is the problem, Your Highness, I have seen all these tribes, the largest tribe is only a few thousand people, the small tribe has hundreds or even dozens of people, and the small tribe of dozens of people is just hiding from us, why should the tribe of thousands of people avoid us?" Besides, the Manchus divided the area for them, and there is a big tribe at the head of each small tribe, these people don't have to be afraid of us at all, and it is not too much to even come up and interrogate us, isn't it strange to avoid us now? ”

Cheng Xiaolian suddenly remembered: "Legend has it that there is a custom on the grassland that the timid will be buried with the fox's tail to express everyone's serious contempt for the coward, they are not a timid nation at all, even if they are invincible, they will not cower, and even give up their own pasture, so what do they want to do?" ”

Chen Chengan didn't care what dynasty the fox's tail was, but said helplessly: "These people retreat like this, there must be something bad happening, I can't be sure what it is now, a person will only become timid if he does something wrong, they must have done something wrong." ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "It's a bad thing, we're about to go to the Hetao Plain, they don't have time to do anything wrong, and they have to do it with that old ghost." ”

Yang Youcai suddenly patted his head at this time: "It's bad, it's bad, Your Highness is bad, it's bad, it's not good." ”

Cheng Xiaolian was confused by him: "What's wrong, can you explain things clearly, don't say anything before and after." ”

"A few days ago, a team of people and horses rushed to the west, and the news came from the Jinyi Guards under them, I thought that there was a tribal fight between them, but now it seems that I am afraid that they are coming for us?"

Cheng Xiaolian didn't think clearly for a while: "What are you doing running to the west for us?" ”

Chen Chengan sighed helplessly: "Your Highness, they don't have the courage to go against us, and they are afraid that we will kill their tribe to the point of great damage and be taken advantage of by others. ”

Cheng Xiaolian's eyes widened suddenly: "They want the alliance to deal with us?" ”
