Chapter 241: The Red Tiger Takes Shape (Part II)
grassland
At this time, the vegetation is abundant.
Cattle and sheep leisurely eat tender grass on the grass.
Several eagles also hovered in the sky, waiting for an opportunity to prey on the small beasts on the ground.
The Great Khan's tent was stationed in this area, and not far away, groups of cavalry were constantly patrolling the vicinity.
Next to the Golden Tent of the Great Khan, Aciuda hung a long knife at his waist, stood in front of the tent with his hands behind his back, facing the distance, looking quietly.
Over fifty years old, the burly Aciuda did not look old at all, standing with his hands in his hands, surrounded by more than a dozen pro-soldiers, all of them sturdy, vigilantly observing the surroundings.
Although he was in the camp, the safety of the Great Khan was not taken lightly.
In the distance, the figure of the cavalry was faintly visible.
Aciuda looked at their figures patrolling the grassland, and thought of the four sons who had not yet returned.
"Haven't you heard from Khurbo yet?" asked Aciuda.
"Great Khan, although there is no news of the four princes yet, but the four princes will be able to return soon, and the Great Khan does not have to worry. , the centurion replied.
The boundless grassland evoked a hint of emotion from Aciuda.
He said with emotion: "I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, Khurbo would be able to take charge on his own, and this land that used to belong to others is now subjugated to my feet......"
"Great Khan, there will come a time when the Central Plains will surrender to your feet!" said the centurion.
Aciuda laughed, and the centurion's words clearly pleased him.
"You're right, Central Plains, one day, you will surrender to my feet!" said Aciuda proudly, suddenly remembering the words of the great monk.
Unlike the Daomen, who went around looking for the Ming Lord, the power of the Brahmans was all over the world, and the intelligence, finance, and connections were far above the Daomen.
Since 700 years later, he began to gradually compete with the Central Plains Emperor for luck, meddling in the luck of the Son of Heaven, and the reincarnation of one Hu and one Han, which shows the pattern of the spiritual world.
While meditating, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves from far and near, and a cavalryman with a naked upper body, wearing a protective helmet and a bow and arrow barrel on his back, turned over and dismounted when he came to a distance from the Golden Horde, and ran quickly to Aciuda, pounced, knelt on the ground, and quickly reported: "Great Khan, the fourth prince is less than twenty miles away from here!"
"He finally knew how to come back. Aciuda laughed.
"The fourth prince will definitely come back on time, the fourth prince has great respect for you, how can he disobey your orders?" said the centurion, who had been by Aciuda's side for several years, bowed respectfully and smiled.
"Haha! You're right, although the eaglets of the grassland have grown up, they will fly back to their nests...... Stay outside and keep watch, and if he comes back, let him come directly to me in the tent. With that, Aciuda turned around and entered the Golden Horde.
Bai Da saw it and stayed outside.
The grassland, a thousand miles away, twenty or thirty miles, is all flat, and everywhere is green.
Hurbo rode on his horse, thinking about things with a blank face.
When he came back this time, he only brought hundreds of personal soldiers, but these hundreds of people were the elite of the elite, following behind him, murderous.
Along the way, hundreds of fat flocks of sheep, horses, and cattle can be seen everywhere.
At this time, the grass and water are fertile, and the cattle and sheep are leisurely, flicking their tails, and their fur is shiny in the sun.
The situation on the steppe was basically pacified by their father and son, and almost all the tribes either submitted to them or were wiped out by them.
Behind such a peaceful scene was the accumulation of countless corpses, and even so, Khurbo was still not satisfied with the vast land he had obtained.
He wanted more than that.
Although he loves this piece of extraction, what else is there here besides cattle and sheep meadows?
What the Central Plains has, there is no here, he has the ability to fight for what he wants, so what are you waiting for?
With Khurbo's heart, he wanted to enter the Central Plains in one go, and some time ago, he had several conflicts on the border, and he had tasted some sweetness.
The seemingly solid Han level was easily conquered under the attack of the grassland warriors.
The army of the Han people, under the impact of the steppe cavalry, was crushed.
These victories made Khurbo more and more confident in entering the Central Plains.
At this moment, he received an order from his father, the Great Khan Aciuta, to make a quick trip back to the steppe.
As the quasi-heir of the Great Khan, the fourth prince Khurbo has not yet been able to ignore his father, so although he has some thoughts in his heart, he still returned to the grassland with a group of personal soldiers after arranging the army.
"Wanhu, there is the camp of the Great Khan ahead. Look, the group of people who came in front of you, is it led by Li Mu Qianhu?" said the centurion behind him.
Hurbo rode on his horse and looked ahead, and a dozen or so people from the opposite side were all riding horses, all shirtless, wearing protective helmets and bows and quivers on their backs, and the people at the head were burly, because they were very familiar with them on weekdays, and they had already recognized them from a distance.
"Li Mu has seen the fourth prince!" Coming to Khurbo, Li Mu bowed his hand and saluted Khurbo.
"Li Mu, long time no see!" said Gulbo with a smile.
"The Great Khan knew that you were coming back and sent me to fetch you. Li Mu waved at the dozen or so people behind him, and they all turned their horses and followed behind Khurbo's group.
Li Mu and Hu Erbo walked side by side, and at this time there were no strong rules in the grassland.
"Fourth Prince, Li Mu also just learned that you have come back, the first time you fought with the Han people, I heard that the fight went very smoothly, and the good news came one after another, the Great Khan was very happy, and praised the fourth prince again and again that you are the eagle of the grassland!" Li Mu said with a smile, and everyone was very enthusiastic about the fourth prince.
In the steppe tribes, the inheritance system of the last son is not easily changed.
The Great Khan was over fifty years old and had ten sons, but in the harsh steppe environment, they all died one after another.
Those who can survive are the eldest son, third son, and fourth son.
The eldest son is about thirty, and the fourth prince has only turned twenty years old this year.
As the heir to the throne, the fourth prince is obviously in first place.
To go against this fourth prince is very likely to be against the future Great Khan, how many people dare to do such a thing?
Hu Erbo naturally knew that this Qianhu had a close attitude towards him, and he also gave a friendly response.
"Last time, I asked the Great Khan for you, and if Li Mu could go with me on the expedition, he would be like a tiger. It's just that the Great Khan was quelling the turmoil at that time, and he also needed manpower ......" Speaking of this, Khurbo invited: "If the Great Khan allows it this time, I hope that Li Mu can go with me to seize the Central Plains"
"If it can be like this, Li Mu can't ask for it!" Hearing this, Li Mu said happily.
Khurbo is the heir of the Great Khan, and he has always shown great talent and courage, and if he hadn't been frustrated in his last trip to Han, his foundation would have been stable.
The Central Plains has always been a fertile land, unlike this grassland, except for cattle and sheep, there is only boundless grassland.
Being able to go to the Central Plains, not only has a close relationship with the four princes, but also can lead the iron cavalry across the Central Plains, which is really a happy life.
Even the people on the grassland know that with the pacification of the grassland, there are not many places for heroes, and if they want to get more wealth and power, they can only attack the Central Plains.
The two talked and laughed, and soon came to the camp.
Li Mu bowed his hand to Khurbo, said goodbye and left, and continued to inspect.
Kulbo dismounted, handed the reins to his retinue, and walked towards the Golden Horde, followed by a few of his own soldiers.
There were still dozens of meters away from the golden tent, and the head of the hundred households guarding outside had already seen it, and hurriedly greeted him, saying: "Fourth prince, you have finally returned, and the Great Khan is waiting for you in the tent." ,
"Oh, the Great Khan is waiting for me in the tent?" asked Kurbo casually, "What was the matter before?"
"Please rest assured, the fourth prince, nothing happened, and the Great Khan seemed very happy to hear the news of your return on time. , the head of the hundred households whispered.
"Yes, I see. Hurbo nodded, walked towards the golden tent, lifted the door of the tent, and stepped into the tent, where there was only one person, half-lying, and when he saw him come in, he opened his eyes.
"Father Khan. Kulbo knelt down in front of Aciuda and respectfully greeted Acieuda: "My son is back." ,
"Well, it's good to be back in time, get up. ,
Aciuda sat up slowly, and nodded at Khurbo: "You have fought very well in these battles, let me see your talent, the situation in the Central Plains, I must know, I not only summoned you back this time, but also called your eldest brother and third brother back, and tomorrow, in this golden tent, I want to discuss the matter of attacking the Central Plains."
"Father Khan has made up his mind?" Hearing this, Khurbo's heart tightened, and he understood, this was the time for the army to attack the Central Plains.
Although he has led people to attack the border towns, but it is only a small fight, and hundreds of thousands of grassland troops come out together, which is completely different.
Unlike other sons, after the birth of Khurbo, the tribe was already strong, and he had the financial resources and time to learn knowledge, and Khurbo learned a lot of knowledge from several monks from the original generation.
Gradually, Hu Erbo had an idea, although the grassland is vast, but the Central Plains is more prosperous, and one day, the grassland and the Central Plains will completely belong to him.
Aciuda saw the flames in the eyes of the fourth son and nodded with satisfaction.
The prairie boy, as his heir to the throne, should have such ambitions.
"I heard that you have built a new annex?"
"Yes, that's Iheri-sama's suggestion. ,
Hearing this name, even the Great Khan couldn't help but move.
Yiheli is the name of the grassland, this person was originally a monk in the north, the law name is Zhanming, he studied since childhood, learned and read books, and then defected to the Great Khan, and followed the Great Khan to conquer the north and south, and repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and was highly valued.
This is the master of Khurbo.
"If it's Ishari's suggestion, then you can do more, but remember, in the end, we can rely on the warriors of the steppe. ,
"Yes, Father Khan, I remember. ”
The father and son were talking in the golden tent, and I don't know how long it took, when they suddenly heard another sound of footsteps outside, which was a scolding.
"Just a centurion, dare to stop me? Do you dare to stop me if I want to see my father Khan?" The familiar voice made the two people in the tent frown in unison.
Aciuda was originally happy, but then a face sank.
"Come in!" he shouted outside.
