【Chapter 124】Sobud's Revenge (II)
Habu nodded, and said slowly: "The people in the south said that Xu Xingxia is now in charge of the defense of Weizhen Fort. Obviously, after defeating the eldest prince, he gained a higher status, had more manpower, material and financial resources, and became more prestigious. ”
This is really a pot that can't be opened. Sobud's heart felt as uncomfortable as being pricked by a needle. If Habu had been his father's confidant, Sobud would have chopped him to pieces with a single sword. However, now he can only concentrate all his hatred on Xu Xingxia. Only by killing Xu Xingxia can he get out of today's predicament. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fort Weizhen? Is that bastard at Fort Wytown now? ”
Habu said softly, "Rest assured, eldest prince, the defense of Weizhen Fort is not strong. Xu Xingxia's superiors did not send him any troops. The defensive strength of Weizhen Fort was pulled up by himself, and a group of rabble, who dare to call it a white-clothed army, are actually vulnerable. ”
It is estimated that the eldest prince also knows that there are many contradictions within the Han army, and they will never unite to fight. This time, the news sent from the south also fully proves this point. Although Xu Xingxia has established a lot of meritorious deeds and his status has improved, his relationship with his superiors has also deteriorated. He offended a lot of people. These people are all high-level leaders in Ningxia Town. ”
"If Weizhenbao is attacked, the high-level leaders of Ningxia Town will definitely sit idly by. Like the eldest prince, they are all happy to see this Xu Xingxia disappear forever and never appear in front of them again. I believe that if the eldest prince leads his army south, they will also provide some convenience. ”
Sobud, of course, understood what Hab meant. The Mongol custom is not sympathetic to the weak. They only worship the strong. If Sobud wants to keep his position as heir and become the new leader of the tribe, he must wash away the shame from his body. Specifically, Xu Xingxia must be killed and his head back.
Knowing that Xu Xingxia was already in charge of garrisoning Weizhen Fort, Sobud's first reaction was, of course, to immediately set foot on Weizhen Fort. It's a pity that he doesn't have any military power in his hands. The cavalry of the Kylekin tribe, all in the hands of his father, were on the front line against Lin Dan Khan. The Qiao woman was embarrassed to cook without rice, so he had to say helplessly: "Thank you for the information you gave me, but I don't have enough people on my hands!" ”
Speaking of which, he, the eldest prince of the Hellergin tribe, is also full of sorrow. Don't look at the other people's big prince before and after the saddle, the big prince's call, there are attendants to follow when entering and leaving. In fact, he was nothing but Hellerkin's eldest son. His status as the heir of the tribe is still quite fragile.
The principle of succession of the Mongol tribes was very different from that of the Central Plains Dynasty. In general, the Central Plains Dynasty takes the eldest son as the heir, and it will change unless there are special circumstances. However, the Mongols were not. The Mongols took the most illustrious son as their heir. Basically, whoever has the strongest ability and who has the most credit is the heir.
Although there were not many sons of Kellergin, and among the heads of the Tatar tribes, they did not seem to be able to make a move, but there were still five or six sons. In addition to Sobud, there were two other sons, both over fifteen years old. For the Tatars, more than fifteen years old means that they have reached adulthood and can go to war.
Although the two of them have not yet made any contributions, they cannot pose a threat to Sobud for the time being, but if Hylekin is disappointed in Sobud and lets those two sons take on more tasks, their merits will slowly accumulate. Eventually, one of them will replace Sobud as the new leader of the tribe.
Once there is a brother who has more credit than himself, Sobud simply can't imagine what the consequences will be. Because of the failure of the last trip south, he was indeed under a lot of pressure in the tribe. Lost dozens of people, but didn't even grab a single hair of the Han people, such an achievement, even his father had to reprimand him fiercely, and then throw him aside, first avoid other attention.
Now Sobud has almost no soldiers in his hands. Except for a dozen followers, it can be said that there is nothing. This kind of situation seems to be very weird. Anyway, he is also the heir of the Hellergin tribe, why is there no hundreds of cavalry around him to protect him? But it's real.
The main reason is that the Kylekin tribe has always been fighting with the Tumut tribe for territory. In order to prevent accidents, all the cavalry of the Hellergin tribe was transferred to the front line in the east. Even Helekin himself did not have much cavalry.
Since the death of Genghis Khan, the internal struggle of the Mongols has never stopped, even more fierce than that of the Han people, and the result is even more cruel than the struggle of the Han people. The failure of the internal struggle of the Han people was a big deal for the nine tribes of Zhulian, and more than 1,000 people died. Fang Xiaoru was the worst, he was sentenced to ten clans and thousands of people died, but this is only one example. On the contrary, if the Mongols lose their internal struggle, the entire tribe will be destroyed. It is not surprising that tens of thousands of people were destroyed together.
The vast majority of the forces of the Kellergin tribe are on the front line of the confrontation with the Tumut tribe. Their opponent was the new leader of the Tumut tribe, Lin Dan Khan. The young Lin Dan Khan was also an ambitious man, which made the Kylekin tribe have to be wary. In terms of overall strength, the Tumut tribe is much stronger than the Kellergin tribe. If the Hellerkin tribe does not wake up the spirit of the twelve points to fight, if it is not careful, it will be the result of the destruction of the entire tribe.
[Author's note: Regarding the Mongol tribe commanded by Lin Dan Khan, there is another name, called the Chahar Department.] It's a pretty general term. Due to the Mongol settlement, it is relatively scattered and organized, and the organizational structure is relatively loose. The mobile surname is strong. Here today, tomorrow it may be somewhere else. It is very difficult to closely study their historical origins. I followed the distribution of the map, taking the Tumut tribe as a statement. Don't come to me for the Examinee, it's just fiction. 】
Sobud said expectantly, "Habu, what should I do?" ”
Habu whispered, "Go see your father, he is in the Aryun Monastery." ”
Sobud nodded heavily and thanked Hab. This is a very important piece of information that shows that his father still values him. In order to avoid the eyes of other tribal powerhouses, he specially came to Aryun Temple. Sobud believed that his father had never come to worship the Buddha. His purpose is to see himself.
"The Great Prince." Habu whispered from behind.
"Oh, Lord Hab, what do you command?" Sobud reacted. In between, Hab must have played a very important role. Now, he's come to demand payment from himself. Sobud is willing to give this reward. As long as you can kill Xu Xingxia, it is nothing to give a little reward. Calling each other as an adult implies the meaning of a benefactor.
"In Weizhen Fort, there is a little girl named Zhu Zhizhi. She is very beautiful. and thou shalt take her alive and give her to thy father. Sweat said unhurriedly.
"I understand." Sobud said in a deep voice.
Capturing a little girl and offering it to her father is simply a gesture. As long as his father can give himself a chance to take revenge, even if he captures a hundred beautiful Han girls to sacrifice to his father, it is also due. Sobud wrote down Zhu Zhizhi's name and couldn't wait to find his father.
Since withdrawing from the Central Plains, the Mongols have gradually begun to believe in Buddhism, and temples of all sizes have been built in many places in the steppe. Aryun Temple is one of them. Sobud galloped all the way with anticipation and anxiety, and finally arrived at the Aryun Monastery before the day fell.
Outside the Aryun Monastery, Sobud saw a man. He was also a henchman of Helekin and an excellent commander of a thousand people. His name was Paroc, and he was known in the Kellergin tribe as the most courageous of the people. As if sensing something, Sobud walked quickly into the temple. Sure enough, his father, Helkin, was kneeling in front of the Bodhisattva, silently bowing his head and praying. From the point of view of believing in Buddhism, Helekin is indeed very religious.
"Father, I'm here." Sobud respectfully knelt down in front of the Bodhisattva, and after kowtowing to the Bodhisattva three times, he said in a deep voice.
"Okay." Hellerkin said lightly, his eyes didn't open, and his palms continued to be folded. Looking at his expression, it seems that he does not have the slightest feeling for the arrival of his son.
"I've seen Hab." Sobud said slowly.
"Habu told you all?" Hellerkin said slowly.
"Yes, Habu told me." Sobud said expectantly.
"I've transferred Paro Court back to your command." Hellerkin said briefly.
Sobud felt as if his heart was about to jump out. Paro Court! Commander! He was indeed assigned to him by his father! Unexpectedly, in order to go south this time, my father actually transferred back a team of 1,000 people! A thousand-man team, even if it is not enough, has seven or eight hundred cavalry. With so many cavalry in hand, Sobud could guarantee that he would be able to raze Fort Weizhen to the ground. Xu Xingxia, just wait for me to torture you!
At this moment, Sobud almost felt choked. Don't look at my father in front of others, he reprimanded himself so harshly, and even drew a knife to kill himself on the spot. In fact, in my father's heart, I have always been thinking about giving him a chance to take revenge. Blood, sure enough, is thicker than water. This time, if he didn't get Xu Xingxia's head back, he wouldn't need his father to do it, he would be able to cut off his own head himself.
Helkin still knelt in front of the Bodhisattva, his eyes did not open, and he said slowly: "Take back Xu Xingxia's head, you are the king of the tribe." ”
Sobud nodded fiercely, knelt down heavily to his father, and after kowtowing three times, Huo Ran stood up and strode out of Aryun Temple. Outside, Commander Paroc was already waiting for him. Behind the Paro Pavilion, there was a Mongolian thousand-man team full of people......
