Chapter 29 The Battle of Tongues
Late at night, with the help of the thin light of the snow field, Zhai Zhe and Xiao Zhiyan followed closely behind the cavalry of Tumot Khan's tent.
In the dark shadow, the cavalry first turned west and finally turned north. The Tokto grassland is located between Guihua City and the Yellow River, and further north is a continuous forest.
The grassland was very difficult to walk on in the snow. I don’t know how long it took to go. The group entered the mountains and forests. As the woods passed, the sky gradually became brighter. Only then did Zhai Zhe see clearly that there were fifteen Tumot cavalry leading the way in front.
The roads in the mountains and forests seemed to have no end, and the Tumot cavalry leading the way did not speak to Zhai Zhe and Xiao Zhiyan.
At noon, at the entrance of a mountain gorge, seven or eight riders were waiting for the reception.
The cavalry in front made a gesture at Zhai Zhe and turned over and dismounted. Zhai Zhe understood that it meant a temporary rest. A quarter of an hour later, several cavalry followed along the way behind and reported: "No one followed!"
Zhai Zhecai understood the caution of the Turmots, and Omubu Khan hid in this deep mountain, as if he was frightened.
A group of seventeen or eighteen people surrounded Zhai Zhe and Xiao Zhiyan and continued wandering in the mountains and forests. After walking for more than an hour, Xiao Zhiyan immediately yawned, showing great impatientness.
After passing through a forest again, the situation suddenly became clear. A knight ran up ahead and shouted: "Geriltu, the Khan has an order, and those who led the Ming Dynasty were directly involved in the khan account."
Turning over a mountain road, the valley in front of me was densely filled with yurts, and Tumot's sweat tent was standing in the middle.
Zhai Zhe and Xiao Zhiyan followed the cavalry straight over, and the Tumoth cavalry around them were watching them.

Outside the Khan's tent, Geriletu loudly reported: "The envoy of the Ming Dynasty has arrived!".
"Come in!"
Zhai Zhe lifted the curtain of the sweat tent and walked in. In the middle of his face was a large chair, with tiger skin as a cushion, and Tumot's Khan King Omubu sat upright on it.
There were two people on the carpet on both sides. On the top of the right is a young Mongolian woman with a small and delicate head on her head, two green agate earrings hanging on her ears, white teeth and red lips, and charming eyes. On the bottom of her is an elderly man with a sparsely strand of black beard hanging on her chin, and her thin face is almost invisible under a big fur hat. Two middle-aged people sat on the left, both wearing leather robes, burly and strong.
Zhai Zhe looked up and looked at it. Omubu's sweaty hair was scattered behind him, his eyes were deep, his face was pale, and his figure was a little thin. The scimitar on his waist was dotted with the gems, which looked more like an ornament.
Zhai Zhe tilted his right arm to his chest, landed on one knee, gave a gift, and shouted: "Greetings to the Great Sweat!"
Omubu's eyes were like shuttles, and he looked at him a few times, then suddenly pointed his finger and shouted, "You are not the envoy of the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhai Zhe knelt down and crawled on the ground, saying, "The Great Khan clearly understands that I am not an envoy of the Ming court, but I am indeed an envoy from the Ming Dynasty."
The man in the lower right head was furious after hearing this and shouted angrily: "Where did the Han spy come from? You dare to tease King Khan, and you are tied up!"
Zhai Zhe blocked the rushing guard with his hands and said, "King Khan, the envoys of the Ming Dynasty will not bring more than I do. Please listen to me and finish your words!"
Omubu reached out to signal the guards to stop, staring at Zhai Zhe with cold eyes.
Zhai Zhe calmed down and loosened his hands tightly, saying, "The Ming Dynasty is unable to send troops to the grassland at this moment. The envoys of the Ming Dynasty can only bring shelter to the Khan at most. What I bring to the Khan is the road to revival."
The Mongolian girl in the head suddenly asked, "Are you a businessman?"
“That’s right!”
It seems that the merchants of the Ming Dynasty left a deep impression on the Mongolians!
"The Khan knew that the Chahars were barbaric and poor, and after occupying the southern part of the desert, the business roads were almost cut off. Zhangjiakou has now moved to the Jurchens, and the killing of Hukou is still rampant, and the business roads are closed."
Omubuhan nodded slightly.
"I came here to help Khan reopen this trade route."
The thin old man suddenly interrupted, "All these are the people of Chahar, you should go find Lin Danhan!"
Zhai Zhe shook his head and said, "The Chahars are savage and vulgar, and the Han people only believe in the Tumotes."
Omubu sneered and said, "Sweet words, I have no strength to occupy the business road now."
"The King of Shunyi and I have always been close to the Ming Dynasty and are friends of the Han people. If I want to run this business road, I don't need to sweat a lot, I just need to sweat a lot to allow the Tumot tribes in Helinger and Tokto to support me."
The sweat tent was quiet and even a needle could be heard falling off.
"How are you going to repay?"
"I will always be under the command of King Khan, and my wealth and tribes will belong to the Khan!"
Omubu laughed, his tone full of sarcasm, and said, "I know that the grassland has created many wealthy Han people, but none of them belong to the Tumotes."
"Yes, the grassland is the grassland of the Mongolians. I came to the Khan today. Of course, I have my intentions. I just hope that one day when Tumot Mongolia rises to the south of the desert again, I will have the only trade rights to kill Hukou and lead to the grassland."
The Mongolian girl burst out laughing and said, "You're thinking too much."
Zhai Zhe shook his head and said, "The Han people have a saying that wealth and honor are in danger. I believe in my own vision. Chahar has always been a thorn in the eyes of the Jurchens and a thorn in the flesh. They will not tolerate the occupation of the southern desert grassland by the Chahar people. The war will come soon, and the Tumote tribe will only have the opportunity to rise again if they cooperate with us Han people."
After saying these words, Zhai Zhe's palms were covered with sweat. The so-called wealth and honor were sought in danger were true. If he could not convince Omubu Khan today, he would probably have to bury himself here. I wonder if Fan Yongdou had ever had any fear like him when he led the caravan to walk alone on the Duoyan Grassland.
After hearing this, everyone in the tent kept thinking. Maybe they were not until now.

When Omubu was patrolling left and right, he saw that no one asked again, he lowered his head and ordered: "Geriltu, let's take these two Han people down to rest."
Zhai Zhe bowed again and followed Geriletu out of the tent. His words were finished, and it all depends on how the God of Destiny made a judgment.
Zhai Zhe went out, and the atmosphere in the big tent immediately became warm.
The thin old man bowed and reported, "King Khan, this Han man has unknown origin and cannot be believed, but I think some words make sense. The Jurchens can now attack the capital of Ming Dynasty, which is when the country is prosperous. The Chahars were incompatible with the Jurchens when they were on the Duoyan grassland. In this situation, we may be able to go to Liaodong to join the Jurchens."
Omubu asked: "Gu Luge, even if Huang Taiji defeated Lin Danhan and me, would he give Mo Nan to us?"
Gu Luge opened his mouth and said without saying anything. The curly man in the upper left head said: "Da Khan, I also think Gu Luge's words are right, the Jurchens can use the power."
The Mongolian girl suddenly smiled and said, "You all advised the Khan to join the Jurchens. Have you heard of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms of the Han people? Do you know why Sun Quan could not surrender to Cao Cao during the Battle of Red Cliff?"
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was written in the early Ming Dynasty and was very popular in the late Ming Dynasty. It is rumored that the Haci family was familiar with the Three Kingdoms and made suggestions based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
The curly-haired man, Hang Gao, has never been close to Han people, and has never heard of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but Gu Luge has heard of it and Omubu has also heard of it. This is clearly said to Gu Luge and Hang Gao, but in fact it is said to Omubu.
During the Battle of Red Cliff, Zhang Zhao could surrender to Cao, but Sun Quan could not surrender to Cao. Corresponding to this time, Hang Gao and Guluge surrendered to the Jurchens, it was natural that there was no obstacle for the surrender of the Jurchens, but after the Khan of Omubu surrendered to the Jurchens, there would probably be no chance to command the territory of Mot Mongolia.
Omubuhan's face turned pale, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on Guluge's back. He quickly defended: "You know where Princess Ulan said this. The Jurchens and I also had a deep hatred, all for the sake of the Tumotes."
Princess Ulan turned to Omubu Khan and said, "I think the Han people's words make some sense. Starting from Altan Khan, my Tumot tribe and the Han people were inseparable. Without the Han people, there would be no prosperous Dabansheng and Guihua City. Now when my Tumot tribe was in decline, Changshengtian sent another Han people."
Hang Gao shook his head and said, "Even the Ming Dynasty is unreliable, how can we trust a Han man so simply!"
Omubuhan sang his beard and pondered without saying a word, his eyes facing the direction Zhai Zhe left.
