Chapter 2 Chapter 108 Changing generals

The snow field was busy. In the center surrounded by the tents, there was a large open space, which was wide enough to accommodate thousands of soldiers. There are armed soldiers all around, with spears or knife handles wrapped in animal skins, pacing back and forth slowly. In the middle of the open space, there seemed to be a market in chaos. There were flocks of cattle and sheep, and many men, women, old and young were busy.These are Tatar herdsmen captured by the Oirat army, who are being organized to slaughter their livestock. The livestock had to be fed while they were alive, and the Tatar army even relied on robbing the fodder for the war horses, so there was no energy left to feed them. Now it was the cold winter season, and the livestock could be kept after they were slaughtered, so they just used these captured slaves to deal with them.

There is not much blood on the ground. The shepherds on the grassland, regardless of gender, age or age, all have superb skills in slaughtering livestock. With only a palm-sized knife in their hands, they can slaughter, skin, and decompose an animal. Nothing is wasted. During the whole process, a few drops of blood splashed on the ground are considered poor craftsmanship. After the livestock are slaughtered, the skin, hair, meat, horns, tendons, glue, bones, etc. are sorted and processed. The whole body of the livestock is a treasure, and every part has a great use. It is a wealth, and naturally it cannot be wasted.

The herdsmen in charge of slaughtering the livestock looked numb. Many livestock were originally used as food for this winter, and it was not a pity to slaughter them. Many others were selected as female animals for next year, ready to reproduce and be used as seeds. Now they are also slaughtered.But the rise and fall of the tribes on the prairie, the phenomenon of being masters today and slaves tomorrow is common to everyone. They are very adaptable and can face reality: today you are my vassal, and tomorrow you defeat me, and I will be your vassal; today I am her wife, and tomorrow I will be captured by you, and I will serve your pillow mat , to bear children for you.Survival on the grasslands is not easy. The existence of life is based on integrity, chastity and emotion. Knowing that becoming a slave is the best ending, they quickly entered the role and worked hard.

In a gray and tattered tent, Xiao Ying stood there, her face was livid with cold, she pinched her cheeks, it seemed that she was frozen. This is a tent for slaves, and naturally there will be no felt blankets on the ground, and it will be even more sad to sit down, so she can only stand. Suddenly, a group of armed and well-dressed teams walked towards the tent surrounded by a person. Those who were patrolling the edge of the field pointed to the women and girls who were working in the field to see who looked passable, and planned to wait for the work of slaughtering livestock. As soon as it was over, the lustful soldiers who dragged them back to the tent saw this scene and knew that a nobleman was coming, so they avoided it one after another.

The women working in the field are not too beautiful, and the more handsome women have already been taken back to their tents by the leaders.It would not be a bad thing for the remaining women if they were selected, at least she could have a warmer place to live, eat more food than others, and have a greater chance of surviving. As for those ordinary slaves, whether they were cold or hungry, it was up to fate whether they could persevere.In this cruel living environment, beautiful women are far more likely to survive than ordinary people. The team of people stopped in front of the tent where Sakura was being imprisoned, lined up on the left and right, and stood there, with one person in the middle striding into the tent with four guards.

She is Mrs. Huo'a, wearing a rare sea dragon fur coat on her upper body, a pair of fox fur trousers on her lower body, and a pair of cowhide felt boots, which are very effective in keeping warm and easy to ride and shoot, but they are a little too bulky Her clothes concealed her enchanting figure that turned all sentient beings upside down, and because she wore a sable fur hat on her head, and the fur hat covered her ears, even the moonlight beauty was covered. From a distance, she looks like a noble leader with a fair face and a graceful manner. Only when she gets close can she see her charming facial features and a pair of watery peach blossom eyes.At this moment, the pair of peach-blossom eyes contained evil spirit, staring at Sakura coldly, after a long time, Mrs. Huo'a finally uttered a word slowly: Wulantuya, hello!you are fine!

Xiao Ying already knew that she had fallen into the hands of the pursuers sent by Mrs. Huo'a. After her identity was confessed, she knew that she would definitely meet Mrs. Huo'a. After saluting, she said calmly: Wulan Tuya has seen Hatun! I thought that you died in the battle between Hashha and the Three Kings, and I was sad for you for a long time Speaking of this, Mrs. Huo'a's fair face was flushed with anger: Ulan Tuya!Although you and I are distant relatives, since you defected to me, I treat you like close relatives, which is really not mean!Why did you leave without saying goodbye and defected to Alutai?As soon as my Oala army entered Tatar, they were ambushed. They knew our route very well. I couldn't figure it out, but it turned out that you were the one who informed us!Why?Why are you doing this!

Xiao Ying knew that this matter could not be concealed, Mrs. Huo'a must be able to find out the truth from the other captured generals, she had already thought of a speech, at this time she lowered her eyes lightly, and said lightly: Because, I I don't want to marry Da Khan! Xiao Ying slowly raised her eyes, and said softly: Hatun has a lot of fate, although now he holds power, rules one side, and belongs to his life, has he ever let himself go?Ulan Tuya doesn't want to follow in Hatun's footsteps, I have nothing, now only this body belongs to me, I want to give it to someone I love!

Mrs. Huo'a laughed loudly: Absurd!Absurdity!man?Hahaha, is the reed on the meadow reliable?Give you an ice cream, can it be used as a crutch?Only wealth, power, and territory are real things, and you still have this fantasy!Just for this, you betrayed me?You said, we sent troops to attack the Tatars, where did you get the news? Sakura didn't say a word, just closed her eyes, covered her eyes with long and neat eyelashes, raised her chin slightly, and pretended to be at her disposal. A guard next to Mrs. Huo'a yelled: "Bold, you dare not answer when Hatun asks a question!"

Mrs. Huo'a stopped his movements, and said coldly to Sakura: I heard that Alutai accepted you as a righteous daughter? Xiao Ying pursed her lips and did not answer, Mrs. Huo'a smiled coldly and said: Good!I treat you like my own, but you betrayed me and went to Arutai. Let's see how Arutai treats you! In a world of ice and snow, the road is blocked by heavy snow, and there are no pedestrians, but in the vast snow field, there is a group of people trekking forward. The snow was knee-deep, and the horses could no longer run freely. Once they stopped, they had to be wrapped in warm, cold-proof wraps, belly wraps, and felt blankets to prevent the horses from freezing. More than a hundred people were divided into more than a dozen plows, which were pulled by dogs. The plows were driven by expert plow drivers recruited from the Jurchen tribe.

Ding Yu wore a sheepskin jacket, cotton trousers, felt boots with rough leather surface, a dog fur hood on his head, and a towel covering his face. The edges of the towel had been covered with white frost and snow. There was also a lot of frost on Shi's eyes, which turned a pair of thick eyebrows into white.A gray shadow can be seen in the distance, it is a tent, the station of Alutai is about to arrive At this time, Alutai was receiving an envoy from Wala in the big tent. Arutai's grain and grass were burned, and he was furious. He began to suspect that there were enemies and spies inside him, because the place where the grain and grass were stationed was very secret, even most of the people in the clan didn't know it, but since they can know the details, they are all The core personnel of Tatar, he really couldn't guess who leaked the secret. Tatar is in danger now, and he can't do anything to clean up the interior. In order to stabilize people's hearts, he has no choice but to press the matter and ask Liaodong for food for the time being. At the same time, he urgently asks the emperor of Ming Dynasty for mediation. Because of Ji Gang's tampering, the development of the situation has gone beyond Xia Xun's control, and the emergency measures that need to be taken involve major aspects such as military affairs, politics, and diplomacy. Without the emperor's permission, it is impossible for Xia Xun to mobilize troops and horses to make arrangements. Therefore, he hurriedly wrote a memorial and went to report to the emperor first. The imperial decree had not yet come down. Ding Yu had received a message from Alutai asking for food and learned that the Tatars had been defeated, so he hurried over to check the latest situation. Liaodong will become the main force to take over the Tatars. Ding Yu is one of the only three people in Liaodong who know Xia Xun's overall plan, so he is naturally aware of this task.The other two are Commander Zhang Jun and Chief Executive Wan Shiyu.Now that he learned of the Tatar mutation, of course he had to take a closer look so that he could understand clearly and prepare for Liaodong's intervention. Although Alutai suffered a great loss, fortunately, there is still Liaodong as a backer, so it is not in despair.After a head-to-head confrontation with the Oala side, although he suffered heavy losses, he also inflicted heavy losses on the Oirat side. Arutai lost several generals, but also captured several Oala generals, including the one who burned his food and grass. That Wala general Mandu Latu. The most important factor that allowed him to stabilize the morale of the army was: during the chaotic battle, the Oara Xianyi King Taiping, who was killed by his army, was hit by a stray arrow and died.This is the good news that he only learned after cleaning the battlefield. Now Taiping's head is hanging on the high pole outside the tent. With this straw, the morale of the Tatar ministries that are about to collapse has finally been boosted a little, so that they will not collapse. The envoy from Oara was not sent by Tutuo Buhua Khan, but from Huoahatun. Mandu Ratu was a wise and brave general under Huoahatun's account, and Huoaha Hatun's persistent supporters, his capture was a big blow to Huoahatun.Huoahatun sent someone to send a message, willing to exchange Ulan Tuya for Mandu Ratu, and the two sides will come and change. Alutai was at the top, and when he heard the envoy explaining his purpose, he laughed loudly and said: Absurd!Huo Aha Tuan dared to threaten the king with a woman!If you want to change it, you can change it. You can change the general, and the general will be changed. Ars, the general under the king's command, was captured by you Wala. If you use him in exchange, the king will agree! Arth's father, the leader of the Chaba cadre, Mr. Na Risong, couldn't help but look at Alutai gratefully after hearing this. The envoy of Huoa Hatun said: Ars Leng was captured by Lord Taiping's tribe. Lord Taiping died in battle, and the people in the tribe were furious. How could Hatun ask King Xianyi for replacing his general? Tribal flattering?As far as I know, this Ulan Tuya is the adopted daughter of the king, and it was she who tipped off the news, so that the king won the first battle and wiped out 20,000 of our Oala army. She has made great contributions to the king. Does the king really have the heart to abandon it? Alutai's eyes turned cold, and he shouted sharply: "This king's ambition is in the world, and a mere woman, how could he ever take it to heart!"Man Shuo is just a Ulan Tuya, even if she is the king's biological mother, biological daughter, and a wife, it would not be a pity!If you want to change, let my love return, otherwise, it's just a life-and-death situation, so what's the use of talking about it!
