Chapter 282: Even if There Are Thousands of People, I Will Go
The sun was setting in the west, and the desert at dusk was littered with corpses. There were broken limbs and broken arms everywhere. The flesh and blood of humans and horses were mixed together, staining the yellow sand.
Batu's army was invading Heshan's camp. Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling were watching behind him and found that there was no massacre as expected. After all, they are from the same clan. Once the "chief culprit" is eliminated and the flags in the camp are changed, they will directly become Batu's power. The change is so easy that it doesn't even take an hour.
In fact, this is not only true for people of the same ethnic group, but also for different ethnic groups, and the snowball gets bigger and bigger.
However, different ethnic groups often form a "franchise" nature, which is different from the system in China.
On the contrary, Herei was once considered a loyal subordinate who truly surrendered to Timur, otherwise he would not have been sent to the Central Plains to cause trouble like a special soldier. Precisely because he is on the Earth Ranking, he knows better than anyone else how terrible it is to be ranked third on the Heavenly Ranking.
But Batu has no such understanding, and ignorance makes him fearless.
Zhao Changhe secretly accused Batu of being ignorant and fearless. Batu was also looking at the couple sideways, secretly exclaiming that the couple were fearless.
Do you really dare to follow two people like this? Are you not afraid that you will turn around and tie them up and give them to the Khan?
But he knew he didn't dare.
Batu had experienced the Yangzhou incident, and Chi Li had once analyzed to him that Zhao Changhe was probably a member of the Suppressing Demon Division, that is, a member of the Daxia official, and his intention to come here to cause trouble was obvious. And his current behavior has definitely angered the Khan. Although he may not be punished, it would be pure stupidity if he does not leave a way out for himself. Zhao Changhe is the way out for him, how can he dare to offend easily?
Even though he knew that he had been deceived by his identity as a Maitreya teacher, he did not dare to express his anger. Instead, he showed a generous and hospitable smile: "Come here, put the wine on the table, I want to entertain friends!"
It was said that they were having a banquet, but everyone in the tent retreated. Only the three of them sat in the tent, smiling with their own evil intentions.
Yue Hongling crossed her arms angrily: "When did you and him become friends again?"
Zhao Changhe pulled her to sit down and blinked: "Brother Batu and I had a fight in Yangzhou. We are both enemies and friends. We cherish each other."
Batu also said: "Just now, Miss Yue saved me, Batu would like to thank you."
As he said this, he picked up the wine bowl and drank it first as a token of respect.
Yue Hongling said with a straight face: "I'm just robbing the horse."
In fact, everyone knows that saving Batu can have strategic significance, and it is tacitly understood.
Batu followed what he heard and said about the horse: "That's a bloody horse from the Western Regions. Someone donated the colt when my uncle went south, but he didn't come back... The horse was taken over by the shameless Heshan himself."
Zhao Changhe said: "In other words, should this horse belong to you?"
Batu waved his hand: "If so, Miss Yue captured it during the battle, so it belongs to Miss Yue."
When both parties said this, they both paused for a moment. There was no topic for a while, and they didn't know how to start something more in-depth.
When Zhao Changhe claimed to be Fa Dian, he told Batu the most serious words: Brother Batu, I suggest you put away your luck. The person who wants to swallow up the Qin tribe is none other than the Great Khan.
It was this sentence that prompted Batu to swing his sword at Hu Lie, then raise an army to destroy the wild wolves, unite the lions, and start his own tribe's resistance for survival.
But there is a premise, that is, "Fa Dian" claims that "our potential power is great." Batu feels that with foreign help, he dares to think.
It turns out that this bastard is not a fadian. This is Zhao Changhe, and the foreign aid has become Daxia... Although he knew that this was the only way, but his uncle had just died in Daxia, and Batu couldn't get over it for a while.
The two sides were silent for a long time, and then Zhao Changhe took a long sip of kumis and said, "Logically, there should be many people from Ubalu looking for me near this mountain. Why can't I see you?"
Batu came back to his senses and said casually: "They are looking for you on the top of the mountain where you disappeared... Actually there are not many people, most of them have already withdrawn. There is even less people here."
"Withdrawn?"
"Of course, how could Ubalu leave his army in the mountains to find just two people?" Batu paused and sneered: "He was mediating between Heshan and me, but my army set off early and deliberately let their envoy attack The so-called mediation is nothing more than dividing my tribe in half for a long time. How can I do what he wants? "
Zhao Changhe said: "Then will he come and beat you?"
"Now, his troops are much smaller than mine."
"Then do you dare to hit him?"
"Ubalu is the commander sent by the Great Khan to Huangshaji. If you touch him, you will touch the Great Khan."
"Do you still expect the Great Khan to be kind to you? Or are you just content to unify the tribe and turn around and kneel to Timur again?"
Batu was silent.
When he unified the War Lion tribe, he became a powerful group of princes. When Timur fought in the decisive battle at Yanmen, it was unlikely that he would have trouble with him. Most likely, he would acquiesce in his position as War Lion Khan and then attack Yanmen together.
But it’s hard to say whether they will fall out afterwards.
The logic of the grassland is very simple. If you want to avoid falling out afterward, you must be stronger.
It's not like Batu doesn't have an overall plan... Hu Lie still has it in his hands. The next step is to rely on this tribe to intimidate Hu Lie. If they can try to annex it, even if they can't annex it, they can exchange it for a large number of cattle, sheep and horses. At that time, the forces will really be able to compete with the Great Khan, and the Great Khan will have to consider the consequences even if he wants to fall out.
That is to say, he didn't have to count on Zhao Changhe, a foreign aid from Daxia who couldn't fight the grassland at all. This was just a way out, and the significance was actually relatively small. The best strategy was actually to reconcile with the Khan, express his submission, follow his command to attack Yanmen, and at the same time secretly plot against the Hulie tribe.
Thinking of this, he didn't even want to entertain Zhao Changhe. If the secret communication with Zhao Changhe was heard by the Khan, it would cause trouble again.
Just thinking about this, a personal soldier opened the tent and entered, hurried to Batu's side, and whispered in a low voice.
Batu frowned and listened, and suddenly smiled at Zhao Changhe: "It's dark, brother Zhao, stay here tonight, I have something else to deal with, so I'll leave for now, please don't blame me for being rude."
Zhao Changhe ate mutton and drank wine by himself, and said indifferently: "Go, go."
Batu smiled and said: "You two may not have lived in a tent on the grassland properly, it's not bad to experience it once."
After speaking, he left quickly, and the tent for entertaining guests directly became a guest house.
Zhao Changhe gnawed on the lamb leg and turned to Yue Hongling and smiled: "Everything is good in the belly of the mountain, except for food. It's purely energy-filled, and there's nothing in my mouth. It feels so good to come out here to gnaw on the roasted lamb leg and drink mare's milk."
Yue Hongling sipped the wine: "This wine is fishy, I don't like it."
Zhao Changhe said: "Do you want to drink Central Plains wine here?"
Yue Hongling said: "What's your idea?"
Zhao Changhe stood up and opened a small gap in the tent to look out. There were many torches outside, and some guards were patrolling back and forth, staring at this place nervously.
He smiled slightly: "Batu is too rough... Even if a pig were to analyze this situation, it would know that the envoy of Ubalu has arrived."
Yue Hongling nodded: "Yes."
"Batu has not been forced into a desperate situation, and has not made the decision to completely turn against the Khan Timur. He is still considering using a strong tribe as a backing to make Timur have some concerns and be able to unite the front. If he continues to follow this line of thought, we will be equivalent to creating a new War Lion Tribe with our own hands, and participate in the attack on Yanmen instead of Helei."
Yue Hongling knew what he meant: "Not only that, if he makes a final decision, then both of us will be sacrificed."
"How can it be so easy." In the light of the fire, Zhao Changhe's eyes were a little fierce: "He can't make a decision, we help him make a decision... But it's just the same old trick in front of the Wang family."
Yue Hongling looked at her lover's profile, and her eyes couldn't hide her admiration.
When the envoy of Ubaru died in Batu's tent, the Khan would not listen to your excuses. Batu was speechless and had no choice but to go all the way to Daxia.
Just like killing the Maitreya envoy in front of Wang Daoning, Maitreya was not there, and he would only think that you, Wang Daoning, a dignified Tianbang, could not protect the envoy, and this was deliberately killed. It's the same here. Among tens of thousands of troops, the envoy was assassinated? If it wasn't you who wanted to kill, who else could it be, Menggui?
However, among thousands of troops, assassinating the envoy is not comparable to the small fight in front of the Wang family?
Zhao Changhe turned his head to look at her and smiled: "This is where tens of thousands of troops are. Are you afraid, my heroine?"
Yue Hongling smiled slightly: "With you, even if there are millions of soldiers in front, what is there to fear?"
"Then let's go, it's a dark and windy night to kill people."
