After the wedding, Wu Wei urged him to set off, and at this time, Ma Hamu had no reason to stop him, so he could only agree to let him go.

But to go, it's not as simple as patting the buttocks, from Helin to Xuanda, a long road of 4,000 miles, to pass through the grasslands and deserts, and there may be horse bandits and Tatars on the way, if you are not fully prepared, you will never dare to go on the road.

At this time, Ma Hamu remembered to ask, where did the Ming army receive His Royal Highness Taisun?

"The army will respond at Wuyun Pass." Wu Weidao.

"So far?" Mahmudeng was dumbfounded, didn't he have to escort most of the journey?

"Didn't the prince let us, not a single soldier or a soldier stay in Mobei?" Wu Wei said, "Why is it you who struck the gong, and it is you who is noisy, and said: "I swore to the emperor that the prince would escort His Royal Highness out of Mobei."

"This ......" Ma Hamu knew that he was at a loss, and he was frightened by Emperor Yongle at the beginning, for fear that the Ming army would play some tricks, and he ended up talking too much. At this time, the people really withdrew all the soldiers, but he sat on wax, and could only use his own men and horses to escort His Royal Highness Taisun to set off.

This is really a big problem for Mahamu. Because of the problem that all the soldiers are soldiers, that is, all the soldiers are people, and the Warat soldiers are also herdsmen, and now it is July is the month of grazing in the grassland, and whether cattle and sheep can hang fat is related to whether livestock can survive the winter. For the people on the grassland, cattle and sheep are all wealth. In addition, this year's losses are heavy, and all the tribes can't wait to go back to grazing, and no one wants to waste two months coming and going.

Ma Hamu had no choice but to discuss with Wu Wei, doesn't His Royal Highness Taisun love the grassland? Why don't you wait until September before you set off? Wu Wei only said, 'The emperor can't see His Royal Highness at the end of last month, I'm afraid he will be mad.' , so that Mahamu completely lost the curse, so he had to gather the big and small leaders to discuss in the sweat tent of Tariba.

All the leaders knew that the Taishi was forcing them to come out, but everyone had a small account in their hearts, and they couldn't let go of their mouths even if they let Ma Hamu blow his beard and stare at him

Seeing that the aristocrats of Warat were staring at each other, and the big Khan Da Liba, who couldn't beat a fart with three sticks and usually had no sense of existence, said a little unhappily: "Forget it, I don't expect others anymore, my sister will send it by myself, this errand is borne by our Borzigit tribe."

"Then what's so embarrassing......" Seeing someone come out of the top tank, all the leaders were relieved.

"Alas, how can I make the Great Khan bear it." Mahamu felt that something was wrong, and said: "Baoyin Beji is the princess of all tribes, and every tribe has to contribute. ”

"It's okay," Ariba said generously: "In this war, my people have not contributed to this war, and there is no loss, and now they should do their part." ”

"The Great Khan is truly benevolent," and the leaders praised Tariba despite Mahamu's countenance. Now the one who can prevent them from dispatching their people is their living bodhisattva.

Seeing that it was difficult to disobey the will of the people, Mahamu had no choice but to respond first, returned to his tent, and said to Taiping and Tuhuan: "Tariba is committed to this matter, but what is the conspiracy?" ”

"Big brother, I think you're too vain," Taiping said indifferently: "He's just sending troops, not the whole clan, what's so surprising?" Their wives and children are here, and they are afraid that they will not come back? And he said, "Besides, as long as we keep an eye on Tariba, what spell can he not do?" ”

"Hmm." Maham thought about it, too, Tariba couldn't leave, and there was another family member as a hostage, and it was impossible for the Borzigit soldiers to go and not return. "Then promise him?" Since the defeat of Hu Lan, his personality has taken a turn, from being proud and conceited to being as humble as he is now...... To put it mildly, it means that the roots of the ears are soft.

"Yes." Taiping smiled: "If the eldest brother is not at ease, you can send some more people to watch them."

"Hmm." Mahamu thought for a moment and said, "Then it's decided. ”

In the end, the team escorting the Taisun couple consisted of 2,000 Borzigit warriors and 200 Warat cavalry, led by Tuhuan's younger brother Ye'er Buhuan. In addition to these men and horses who were to return, there were also five hundred maids and guards who accompanied his sister in marriage. Coupled with Wang Xian's people, they formed a huge team of 4,000 people.

But when Warat is newly defeated and the strong enemy is eyeing it, this is not many people at all...... Originally, Wu Wei meant that he wanted Ma Hamu to send 5,000 people to escort him.

On the eve of departure, Tariba set up a banquet for his sister and brother-in-law in his sweat tent to see him off. His parents died when he was a child, and he and Baoyin Qiqige depended on each other, at this time he was naturally full of sorrow, Baoyin wept silently, and he was also sad. Wang Xian watched coldly, he just wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the brother and sister.

"Brother-in-law," Answering Riba naturally won't forget him, in fact, it's still a matter of saying goodbye to his sister tonight, and there are some things to tell are serious. He picked up his wine glass and saluted Wang Xian and said, "If I call you like this, you won't be unhappy."

"Whatever." Wang Xian said indifferently: "It's just a title, and it doesn't mean anything." ”

"In this matter, I have indeed wronged you." Taba sighed, "But as long as there is a chance, I will not make such a decision." ”

Wang Xian nodded, and listened to him continue: "Now you should also know that I, the Great Khan, am just like Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty." Taishi Ma Hamu is more ruthless than Cao Cao. At least Cao Cao can keep Emperor Han Xian, but he can't tolerate me anymore. ”

Wang Xian bowed slightly, and listened to him continue: "In fact, when I live to my part, there is no difference between life and death. But the Mahamu brothers still want to divide up and annex my people, which I absolutely can't accept" said that blood welled up on his pale face, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I, the Borzigit tribe, the Miao descendant of Ali Buge Khan, can't be broken in my hands."

Wang Xian didn't plan to speak, but he was secretly pinched by Baoyin, so he had to cheer up and say, "Then what do you want?" ”

"I mean, the golden cicada sheds its shell." "I expected that this month, they would not be willing to take on the drudgery of escorting, so I can justifiably let most of the young people in the clan leave with you." ”

"What's in it for that?"

"Mahamu covets my people, in fact, he covets these young and strong, and the rest of the old and young women and children are just a burden in their eyes." "So when the young men leave, the Warats will not do anything to our tribe. As he spoke, a smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "But the Warat people don't know what to say, most of these young adults are not married, and if they are married, their wives are all in Baoyin's maids." They are the true Borzigit, and if they are given a few years, our tribe will grow stronger."

"Aren't you going to let them come back?" Wang Xian asked.

"What's the point of coming back? The Hetao is a good place for abundant water and grass. Ariba looked at Wang Xian sincerely, and bowed deeply: "I implore my brother-in-law to return to China, and I will definitely help us with a few kind words, and please allow the Borzigit Ministry to attach it."

"And what do you do?" Wang Xian frowned and said, "Can we go together?" ”

"How is it possible, if I stay here, they can rest assured that those young men are leaving." Ariba smiled faintly.

"Brother......" Baoyin wept sadly. In front of her brother, who was willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of her clan, she found that she had given up on herself the night before, and she was too selfish.

"Don't worry, I won't die." Tariba had already put life and death aside, and said with a smile: "Actually, I have calculated, Mahamu will soon be like Arutai and pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and then my Great Khan will be useless to him." He looked at Wang Xian and said: "If my brother-in-law can say a few kind words in front of His Royal Highness Taisun, please ask Emperor Ming to order me to go to the capital to ask for guilt, and Mahamu Bacheng will use me to calm the anger of Emperor Yongle......" He said and glanced at Baoyin and said: "When the time comes, we will be reunited." ”

"Brother......" Baoyin clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, and said with tears welling up: "Don't lie to me......"

"Silly girl, when did my brother lie to you?" Answering Riba smiled dotingly, looked at Wang Xian and said, "What else is wrong with my brother-in-law?" ”

"Borzigit, what about the rest of the old and young women and children?" Wang Xian asked in a deep voice.

"You don't have to worry about that, do you?" Tarriba laughed unnaturally.

"Without young adults, how can they survive the long winter? How to survive in this desert grassland? Wang Xian asked.

"For the survival of the tribe, there will always be sacrifices." Ariba smiled sadly: "If I can go south, I will take them with me......"

Wang Xian naturally understood the meaning of Answeriba, which was nothing more than four words: 'resigned to fate, but he could also figure out with his toes, how miserable the fate of those old and young women and children would be after losing the protection of young adults...... He didn't understand that the so-called tribal survival was really so important. More important than the lives of nearly 10,000 people? But looking at the appearance of Tariba and Bao Yin Qiqige, I know that they think so.

"Actually, you can wait for Baoyin and them to gain a firm foothold in the Hetao, and then find a way to bring their families over." But Wang Xian never raped other people's values, he just thought about problems from the perspective of being a human being: "I think these old and young women and children are a heavy burden for Mahamu, but for your people, they are more important than life."

"Of course it would be nice to be able to do that," said Ariba ashamedly, "but there is nothing I can do about it." As he spoke, he saluted Wang Xian again and said, "If my brother-in-law can help us with this, I, the Borzigit clan, am willing to be loyal to you and your family for the rest of my life."

"It's not appropriate, you are the descendants of the Golden Family." Wang Xian smiled, he didn't take it seriously, he was not an immortal, and he couldn't solve all the problems.

"Where else is the Golden Family?" "We are just a bunch of poor people struggling to survive......
