The big man who took the lead shouted: "Copy Erchi! You are also a Mongol, why should you fight our own people under the hands of the Han Chinese! Look at your current appearance, what is the difference between you and Cheng Yue's Han man? Don't you feel embarrassed, I'm ashamed of you! ”

Zhao Erchi didn't bother to deal with them at all, snorted coldly, raised his right hand slightly, and the pro-soldiers beside him also raised their knives out of their sheaths.

"I'll give you one last chance, whether you live or die, you choose for yourself." ”

Dozens of rebels looked at each other, raised their heads, and roared in unison, charging at each other.

Copying Erchi was furious, but he didn't make the soldiers around him do it, but hooked his hand back, and a row of flashing crossbows quietly showed the tips of arrows behind him, it was actually the Han army under Cheng Yue!

The short, sharp bolts silently sank into the chests of dozens of rebels in the dark night with the sound of the machine springs, and muffled snorts and screams came out at the same time, and the horses that rushed in front of them had no master, and were held by the reins of the soldiers under the red men.

Dozens of Mongolian men who were still alive just now fell on the muddy ground of the grassland, most of them were dead, and only a few could still make a slight ** sound.

Copying Chi pointed at them, and the soldiers jumped off their horses, stepped forward and made up for a few more swords, and everything fell silent.

Copying took a sip and scolded: "Eat the minions inside and outside!" "Give this place to your subordinates to clean up and continue the ambush, and return to the camp by yourself, and report to Buhumu.

By the next morning, everything was gone, as if nothing had happened last night, and even the blood had been cleaned up.

Cheng Yue listened to the report of Buhumu and Zhao'erchi in the morning, and groaned slightly, saying, "The number of defectors is lower than I expected. Not bad. But from now on. Pay special attention to movements in the army. It should not be taken lightly at any time. Most of the army in Dadu and Naiyan's subordinates know or are relatives, and it is difficult for them to contribute, I am afraid that they will have to rely on the Han army more, and this battle will not be easy to fight. ”

Buhumu and Zhao'er Chi replied: "What the prince said is very true. ”

In history, even if Kublai Khan drove his own expedition, the generals of the two armies were rarely hostile to each other, and often withdrew after laying down their arms on the battlefield and talking, Kublai Khan had nothing to do, and later tried to use Li Ting and other Han troops to defeat Naiyan.

Cheng Yue commanded: "The army will pull out the camp." Slowly moving forward, send more detectives to deliver the news. Don't do anything without my orders. ”

"Yes!"

After a night's rest, all parties made careful preparations.

In the morning, Instigating Du and Oluchi received Cheng Yue's order and immediately ordered to set off.

The scouts sent by Naiyan soon returned, and although the instigators and Oluchi had discovered Nayan's army, they did not care and continued to march as usual.

Naiyan laughed and said, "Then I'll thank them for sending me food!" "Command the whole army to meet you.

The instigator and Oluchi traveled less than fifty miles. A large army blocked the way, and instigated the capital to look around. It is the banner of Naiyan.

Instigated Du and Oluchi looked at each other and smiled, and stepped forward to meet Naiyan.

After saluting, he smiled and said, "When did the khan go south?" Come and graze? ”

Nai Yan said with a smile: "It is natural to overgraze, but the most important thing is to raise food. Liaodong was hit by drought in a row, and the grain and grass of the imperial court were not allocated, but what was the reason for the Eastern Expedition to Japan was grain? ”

Oluchi was surprised and said, "Is the Khan out of food?" But isn't there still a surplus of food that the Great Khan gave to the Khan a few years ago? ”

Nai Yan spread his hands and said, "Where is there left?" How did I not know? Now the tribe's grain reserves can only last for another two months, and if the harvest is not good in the autumn, we and the people of the eastern tribes will all starve, does the Great Khan really not know? ”

"So, the Khan wants to borrow food from us?" ”

Nai Yan said in a deep voice: "Of course I want to borrow, how can I let my subordinates go hungry?" What is the urgency of the Eastern Crusade in Japan? The lives of our own people matter! ”

As soon as Nai Yan said this, Jin Jianu, Huang Hai and other generals immediately echoed him. The Jurchens were also greatly affected, and many tribes were extremely dissatisfied.

Ou Luchi said in embarrassment: "The Khan also knows that the military rations escorted by the two of us are not nodding from the king of Zhennan, who dares to touch a cent?" Don't we need our heads? The khan might as well wait a few days, and when the king of Zhennan arrived in Xianping, the khan went to him and said to him that the king of Zhennan was reasonable, and maybe he would allocate some to the khan. ”

Nai Yan said: "Nonsense! When will the net worth of our Mongolians depend on the Han Chinese? If Cheng Yue doesn't agree, do I still ask him? ”

Oulu said: "Khan forgives the sin, we can't be the master, the king of Zhennan doesn't speak, and we don't dare to borrow a grain of grain." ”

Nai Yan said angrily: "I don't care if you agree or not, if you don't borrow it, you can't do it!" Cheng Yue and the Great Khan, I have to explain, don't worry about you! ”

The instigator laughed and said, "Khan, robbing military rations is a big crime, is the Khan really not afraid?" ”

Lost son Buhai shouted on the side: "What is there to be afraid of! We are borrowing! It's not a robbery! When the autumn harvest is complete, we will return it to the Great Khan! ”

Oluchi said coldly: "In this case, we have nothing to say, if the Khan does not kill us now, we will go back to set up a formation to guard against the Khan." ”

Nai Yan sneered: "I'm here to borrow food, why do you want to kill you?" Go back, and I'll borrow it openly!" ”

Instigating Du and Ouluchi shook their heads and sighed, they both bowed and retreated, turned their horses back into the army, and with a command, the 20,000 elite soldiers divided into ten roads, held in all directions, and prepared to meet them.

Naiyan's banner waved in the wind, but it did not divide the army, but the whole army gathered into a large formation, and approached straight towards the capital and Oluchi.

When the two sides approached, Naiyan's Chinese army suddenly shouted in unison: "Borrow food!" Live! Borrow food! Live! These two sentences were shouted repeatedly, and the sound shook the grassland!

Instigation and Oluchi couldn't help but look at each other - it's broken! How can this battle be fought? It's a clever means!

Sure enough, most of the 20,000 elite soldiers laid down their weapons one after another, swords into sheaths, arrows back to pots, and no intention of fighting. On the other side are their brothers and sisters, and they only want food, in order to survive, can they really bear to do it?

Seeing this, Nai Yan had a smug smile on his face.

Tabutai laughed in a low voice: "Khan, this trick is really useful, it takes no effort, and the 20,000 elite soldiers on the opposite side can fight at most, and there are less than 5,000 left." ”

Nai Yan said with a smile: "It's a pity that Kublai Khan has no one under him, and that Cheng Yue is also unworthy of his name, even I can't think of borrowing food, the victory is too easy to come but a little boring, haha." ”

The instigator said angrily to Oluchi: "What should I do? Is it just a defeat? If we can't hold on for a while, will the prince slaughter us in a fit of anger? ”

Ou Luchi said with a stern face: "I have already sent a scout horse to report, and before the prince comes, we will defend it to the death!" ”

Instigated the knife and said, "I'll go out and rush for a while." ”

Oulu said: "Don't, I'm afraid I won't be able to rush up, and it will hurt the morale of the army." We gathered our own soldiers who also listened to orders, and defended them with arrows, as long as we dragged them until the prince arrived, it would be a great achievement. ”

Instigated the capital and said, "Okay, let's do it." ”

The two then gathered more than 4,000 henchmen and soldiers, gathered in front of Naiyan's army, and shot a rain of arrows to stop Naiyan from leaning forward again.

Seeing this, Jin Jianu laughed on the horse, and said to Naiyan: "Khan, the instigation of Du and Oluchi are still dying, it is better for me to lead people to rush into battle and see if he dares to kill!" ”

Nai Yan looked at the formation on the opposite side and sneered: "This is their last resort, it doesn't matter, let everyone put down their weapons, keep shouting, shout and walk towards them, try their guts!" ”

Tabutai said: "I'll go!" He took the lead in putting away his bow and knife and walked forward with his bare hands, followed by more than 1,000 personal soldiers.

When he saw it, he was shocked, and said to Oulu Equator: "It's not good, I can't do it!" The prince has a word first, and without his order, we are not allowed to do it! ”

Oulu was in a hurry and said, "You drag, I'll go out to talk!" After saying that, he hit the horse forward and faced the horse's head with Tabutai.

Tabutai's face was full of uncertainty, and he said, "Oluchi, you will either kill us or lend us food, what else is there to say?" ”

Oulu Equator: "Tabutai, you are also leading troops, can you not understand that if I lend you food, you will be executed?" Do you really want to kill us for the sake of food? ”

Tabutai perked up and said, "Oluchi, you are a good man in our Mongolia, why do you want to give Cheng Yue that Han man's life?" Why don't you and instigation help us together, just say that your soldiers and horses don't want to conflict with the Khan, and take the initiative to send us food, what can Cheng Yue do to you? You can't keep it anyway. ”

Oulu pretended to be embarrassed and said: "What you said may not be unreasonable, give me some time, I will go back and discuss with the instigator, it is best not to shed blood." ”

Tabutai was overjoyed and said, "Okay, we have time, can you go back and discuss and give you an hour?" ”

Oulu said: "Almost, if it doesn't work, I'll tell you again, and I don't want to fight you at the instigation, it's best to have the best of both worlds." ”

Tabutai smiled and said, "That's right, I'll go and tell the Khan, you guys hurry up." ”

Oluchi smiled and arched his hand, and slowly returned to the formation.

Tabutai couldn't help but return to Naiyan's side and retell his conversation with Oruchi.

Nai Yan smiled: "It's just an hour, give it to him!" Their military morale has been weakened, and the further they drag, the more they can't fight! ”

At the end of the order, both sides laid down their arms and discussed. Ou Luchi pretended to argue with the instigator, secretly sent a number of scouts, and quietly slipped away from behind the formation, anxious to report to Cheng Yue.

Cheng Yue had led his army forward since the morning, and when he received Oluchi's report, his forward was not far from Oluchi.

Bu Humu sighed: "What the prince was worried about really happened, Nai Yan's strategy is very clever, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to crack." ”

Cheng Yue smiled calmly: "Who said I want to crack?" Nai Yan is reasonable, why don't I support him? (To be continued.) )
