Khovd City is deserted.

The Truqin Mountain Camp of a regiment following Yan Dunhuang made a surprise attack here and successfully captured the city.

If Danba wants to return to Khovd City with his army, he must pass through Ulegai.

Ulegai was only the location of the Celeng tribe's large tent, and there was no city. When Yan Dunhuang arrived here, he took it without much trouble.

However, precisely because there is no city, their news cannot be blocked. In Khalkha, the Qing rule has been for more than a hundred years and has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even if ordinary people see this situation and want to take credit, they will

Will report to Danba.

Yan Dunhuang asked Sorhan to lead five hundred tribal cavalry to guard here, and he led a regiment to meet the Danba army.

When Danba walked to the three-way intersection on the west side of Aqit Lake (to the east is Tangnu Ulianghai, to the south is Ulegai, and to the north is Hatu Ulia Sutai Kalun), he received a message from the herdsmen.

news.

Not only the news of the fall of Uligai, but also the news of the fall of the city of Khovd.

As soon as he heard the news, Danba seemed to be spinning and almost fell off his horse.

His first reaction was to block the news, but unfortunately, the people who could set out from Ulegai to report the news to him were naturally Celeng's men, and Celeng knew about it earlier than he knew.

And after Celeng knew about it, there was no one in Six Flags who didn't know about it.

In an instant, panic, anger, hope and other emotions alternated, making the army crumbling.

At this time, the three hundred Sauron soldiers who were originally ambushing on the mountain road also took a detour and pretended to come from Khovd City to greet Danba. Danba had an idea and drew a loud scolding from the general of the Sauron soldiers.

Sauron's soldiers felt miserable, but they could only bow their heads and listen to the instructions.

At this moment, the cavalry responsible for the investigation ran back to report the news.

"Sir, there is a troop of Truchen cavalry with about three hundred people occupying the stronghold north of Achit Lake!"

"Sir, about twenty miles behind us, a group of Truqin cavalry also appeared, numbering about three hundred!"

This forces Danba to go south, but he can turn around and fight back, and then retreat along the eastern foot of the Sayan Mountains to Tangnu Ulianghai, or to the Zasak Tuhan tribe.

But the scout cavalry saw only a few hundred riders. Who knows how many people the Truqin people had ambushed in secret?

At this time, he can still lead the team to the west path, from where they can go around to Uligai, but since he can think of it, wouldn't the Truqin people think of it?

Therefore, he could only send his cronies to run out through various lanes, preparing to report to General Ulyasutai, and secretly praying that they would not be intercepted by the Truqin people.

As for himself, he still has more than 300 Sauron soldiers and nearly a thousand riders of the Six Banners of Wulianghai, so he is still capable of fighting.

He decided to stay where he was and wait for news from General Ulyasutai.

So, in the afternoon, he met Yan Dunhuang, who was probably coming from the direction of Ulegai.

The Truqin troops coming from behind him were obviously the two battalions of Ha Jun and An Ning. This was the advantage of having a telegraph machine. They didn't need to send people back and forth to send messages, so they could arrange their arrangements calmly.

And Yan Dunhuang did not immediately launch an attack on Danba.

It's not that he is out of strength and has to wait for the follow-up army. The combat effectiveness of his brigade is obviously higher than that of the entire Qing army in Khalkha, and it will take at least a month for the four major Khan tribes to recruit troops to come to the rescue. He has plenty of time.

Completely capture the entire Khovd League.

He thought of the instructions given by Kitard, who was spending the winter in Ili, the eastern capital.

"Attack the heart first"

To do this, he must wait quietly.

What is he waiting for?

......

The west of the Mongolian Plateau is commonly known as the Great Lakes Basin. There is a series of lakes from north to south, followed by Ubusu Lake, Kyrgyz Lake, and Har Lake, and there is a series of smaller lakes around it.

Here, historically, the Huns, Turks, Kyrgyz, Xueyantuo, and Geluolu people emerged one after another. It was originally the territory of the Hetuohite tribe, and was later turned into the residence of the Counselor and Minister of Khovd by the Qing government, as well as the actual

Khovd League.

Just as the two armies were confronting each other, south of Ubusu Lake, on the road to Uligai, a group of people was driving slowly on the road that was still covered with snow.

There was a man in his thirties, with a sinewy face and a typical Mongolian appearance. There were about a hundred men like him in the team, and the rest were completely ordinary people.

A girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old, clad in red and colorful, was also riding on a maroon horse. Her face was fair and her cheeks were red from the cold, but she was still walking in the wind with high spirits.

She was surrounded by some girls of similar age to her, all dressed in red, and all of them were talking excitedly.

Behind are some camels carrying wooden boxes, which are covered with Lamaist patterns.

The leading man is called Cheng Dunzabu, who is currently the flag owner of the Tangnu Ulianghai Banner, the leader of the Tangnu Ulianghai League, and the eldest son of Chedubu Dorji, the king of Doluo County.

That girl is his sister Ahe. According to the agreement, Ahe will marry the son of Celeng, the leader of the Seven Banners Alliance of Altan Ulianghai in five days. Chengdunzabu only has this sister, and he has loved her very much since he was a child.

Deliver it to Uligai personally.

A marriage like this also requires the approval of the Qing court. For Tangnu Ulianghaiqi, Khovd is rich and Tangnu Ulianghai is brave, so the marriage between the two parties is a perfect match.

While walking in the cold wind, Chengdunzabu looked back at his sister from time to time, feeling a little reluctant to leave her.

Although Celeng's son will become the leader of the Khovd League sooner or later, he is not a typical Mongolian man. He is as fat and fat as his father. He likes money more than riding horses and fighting. He gradually has a "

"Chited" reputation.

Chitede, which means "Han people, Han merchants" in Khalkha Mongolian, has exactly the same meaning as Chitard. With the great god Chitard in front of it, the name has gradually become more positive, but it is usually used as a horse riding horse.

, Chengdunzabu, who loves hawks and hunting, really looks down on his brother-in-law.

At present, Tangnu Ulianghai and Khovd, which were formerly the territory of the Tuohite tribe, are already a hodgepodge. The remaining tribes of Junggar, part of the Zhasak Tuhan tribe, and even some of the Inner Mongolian tribes that moved here are all here.

Living together, it is impossible to form a large group.

But the north is the territory of the Russians, and the west is the territory of the Russians. Truqin's territory is very important. In order to allow the two families to help each other, the Qing court ordered Ahe to marry to Altan Ulianghai Banner.

Chengdunzabu knew that his sister's appearance on the horse was just an act, but she couldn't help it - no one dared to disobey the orders given by the emperor himself.

Chengdunzabu also knew that Celeng’s son was not worthy of her.

Ahe (that is, Ahai) has been fond of horseback riding and archery since he was a child. He is also extremely smart. At the age of ten, he can read through all the Lamaist classics written in Mongolian. His eloquence is not hindered, and he also received the title of the previous living Buddha Jebtsundamba.

With encouragement, she was called one of the 3,600 incarnations of "Sarosfandi" in the world.

Sarosfandi is the female Bodhisattva Saraswati who is responsible for wisdom and debate in Lamaism.

Although she had the approval of the Living Buddha, in the eyes of the Qing court, she was still a close relative chosen to maintain the balance among the Khalkha tribes.

After the rise of Truqin, Ahe also yearned for everything about them. When Kitard learned about it, he asked a businessman to bring her a set of books in both Mongolian and Chinese.

Luob Zangdanjin, the most famous eminent monk in Oirat, once took his disciples to Tangnu Ulianghai and debated scriptures with Ahe. It is said that Luobuzangdanjin also sighed sincerely afterwards.
