Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 887 Dare to ask where is the way
Do you want to go?This is the most direct question facing Tumen Khan now.

If you don't go, it's a bit hard to say whether you can go after the opponent encircles you a few times.

Yes, I am a Mongolian Khan. For the Mongols, they should be able to come and go freely on the grassland, and they can move like the wind, but the problem is that the main force of the cavalry on the other side is also the Mongols. Shangtuotuo's side is based on the former Alta Khan's Great Khan Guard Army, and the sum of the two soldiers and horses is only a lot more than his own troops.

And now, we have to add more than 1 cavalrymen from the former Ma Fang Department of the Ming Army and the remnants of Xin Ai's troops—no doubt, when Xin Ai was around, they naturally obeyed Xin Ai, but when Xin Ai herself was captured , they will not die for Xin Ai.

It's hard to say whether the Great Ming Qin envoy on the other side can directly mobilize the remnants of Xin Ai, but Zhong Jin Hatun, the regent Hatun, must have enough legitimacy to order them, and Han Naji, the Dacheng Taiji of the golden family , and is noble enough to be ordered to command them.

If the Ming army infantry and highly pragmatic cavalry were added together, the opponent's coalition army had already rushed to 5, which was almost twice the current strength of Tumen. I lost some, and I lost some more in the battle with Chataiji today, plus the [-] horses who basically couldn't come back in the back road, and now there are almost [-] horses.

What's more, after losing the cattle and sheep in the back road, the logistics of his [-] army are already in jeopardy. Whether it is fighting or leaving, he must make early plans.

Fortunately, it is now the beginning of spring. If it were three or four months earlier, it would be very cold outside the Great Wall, and it would be difficult to run.

Tumen Khan only felt a rush of cold air rushing to his back, making him feel cold all over his body.

At this time, Burihatu also faced a big question: Echige was captured, should he continue to follow Tumen Khan?

You must know that the original relationship between Tumot of the Alda line and the Chahar tribe of Tumen was not a close relationship between brothers and friends - Alta is two generations older than Tumen, and Hannaji is theoretically the Tumen's peers, so Brihatu and Tumen Khan can also be called brothers.

As the biggest challenger to the Great Khan's throne, Tumed is a thorn in Tumen's side, otherwise what would he do?It was originally intended to subdue Tumed.

And Xin Ai himself didn't really believe that Tumen treated him as an uncle, he just wanted to use Tumen's influence to regain the throne of Tumet Chechen Khan, and in his opinion, he planned to pay benefits, It's just a deal.

Now that Xin Ai has been captured, Xin Ai's department has completely fallen under the control of Najib—or someone who explained it. In fact, no one in Tumot can stop Hannaji from being promoted.

At this moment, if Brihatu seeks refuge with Tumen, it is equivalent to giving up all his honorable status in Tumed and defecting to the enemy side instead. Can Brihatu, who has lost everything, be accepted by the Tumen camp? It's hard to say if you pay attention to it. After all, Mongolia is not Ming Dynasty, and relying on "talent" alone is not enough to stabilize your position, because Mongolians believe in fists more.

But the question is, if you don't vote for them, why don't you go back and dedicate your head to Han Naji?
Although judging from past performances, Han Naji, a supporter of Han culture, does not seem to be a bloodthirsty person, but fighting for the throne of the Great Khan is nothing more than anything else. Who knows if Han Naji will consider killing the grass?

Cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots is a very common thing in Mongolia. You can find it in the history of the Yuan Dynasty, and it says cutting the grass and eradicating the roots everywhere!

However, according to my previous analysis, if Echige is defeated, the Xinai Department should be assigned to Zhong Jinhatun—to be precise, Zhongjinhatun's son Butashri. Najib didn't seem to need to eradicate Echige or even his brothers.

Because, if you keep people like yourself, Butashri will be afraid of the rat.

Brihatu's eyes rolled wildly, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

At this moment, Tumen suddenly asked: "Brihatu, are you going to find your Abu?"

Brihatu was very vigilant, shook his head resolutely and said: "There is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation between me and Bahanaji. He will definitely give all of my Echige tribe to Zhong Jinhatun. What's the use of me going back? Can you still give me back my part? Rather than being a captive, it is better to be free and a prodigal son of the grassland."

Seeing that he didn't even think about it, Tumen opened his mouth, thinking that he was telling the truth, and immediately laughed and said: "You are the blood of the Jin family, how can you be a prodigal son of the grassland! Go with Ben Khan, you are still a Taiwanese!" Ji, the matter of the tribe and the people, when I go back to Chahanhot with Ben Khan, I will give it to you——Chang Ang, that trash, was beaten by some infantry led by Qi Jiguang, and he ran away with his head in his arms. I think it's better to let you take control."

Brihatu's heart moved, and he thought to himself: Take Chang'ang and replace me?Hmm... This idea is not bad, but I don't know how sincere Tumen is.But having said that, this is indeed a good move.

Chang'ang's fellow refused to fight head-on with Qi Jiguang, the reason is obvious, but it is also a fact that he fears the enemy like a tiger, as Tumen is a big sweat, he has every reason to deal with him.Moreover, it is a good thing for Tumen to change me to control one of the three guards of Duoyan. After all, after the battle with Tumed, if I go with him, then I will become sworn enemies with Daming and even Tumed. Mastering the Chang'ang Department, Tumen's southern line will have a buffer, not to mention peace of mind, but at least one more barrier to rest assured.

But after this battle, Tumen suffered a lot of losses, and the blow to their prestige was even greater. It seems a little uncertain whether they can take Chang'ang by then. What if he can't take down Chang'ang, what should I do? Isn't it a waste of time to fetch water from a bamboo basket?

However, if I really go with him, with my design, it seems that it is not impossible to win Chang Ang...

Brihatu was thinking about these things, but his answer was quick: "Thank you, Great Khan, for your attention. Brihatu is very grateful. I would like to die for Great Khan."

Whether he is really willing to die for Da Khan is hard to say, but he is a smart person, and he fully understands that if he doesn't say this now, he may die immediately for Tumen to see.

Seeing that he answered decisively, Tumen was even more happy, believing that he was really willing to vote under his command, and then made another promise. The appearance of sweat blocking the gun.

The two talked hypocritically for a while. After all, the military situation was urgent, and Tumen had to change the topic: "So, do you think we should continue to make up our minds to defeat Tuotuo now, or withdraw the troops and return to the east?"

Brihatu curled his lips in his heart, and thought to himself: You have already hinted that you will go back to clean up Chang Ang first, and you still ask me why I am talking nonsense?
But wanting to think about it, he said in cooperation: "The Han people have a saying that the son of a thousand gold can't sit down, and now Han Naji insists on going his own way and completely surrenders to the Ming people. Heroic, but in order to preserve the national strength of our Great Mongolian Kingdom, and also to clean up the chaos of the Duoyan tribe, I think it is better to withdraw our troops for the time being."

"That's a good word, I will follow your plan and temporarily withdraw my troops."

Brihatu bowed slightly to express his thanks, while bowing his head, he sneered in his heart: In my opinion?

But now time was tight, and Tumen Khan didn't have time to observe carefully, so he immediately summoned people to prepare to evacuate.But Brihatu found a reason to come out, went straight to Lalik's tent, and told his brother the latest situation...and also to see how he planned to make a decision.

After Lalik heard the news, everyone was dumbfounded. After a while, he said silently: "I will also go with Dahan. As long as Dahan has not given up his position as the co-lord of Mongolia, my 'government' must continue. If we continue to do this, even though we have nothing, it is still better than returning to Huacheng to present our head."

Brihatu sighed and didn't say anything persuasive.
