In the center surrounded by the tents, there was a large open space. The open space was wide enough to accommodate the gathering of thousands of soldiers.
There were armed soldiers all around, with spears or knife handles wrapped in animal skins, walking back and forth slowly.
In the middle of the open space, there was a commotion like a market, with herds of cattle and sheep, and many men, women, old and children, busy in the middle. These were Tatar herdsmen captured by the Oara army, and they were being organized to slaughter their livestock.
The livestock must be fed while they are alive. The Tatar army even robs the fodder for the war horses, so there is no spare time to feed them. It is the cold winter season, and the livestock can be preserved even if they are slaughtered, so it is a good idea to use these captured slaves for processing.
There were not many blood stains on the ground. The shepherds on the grassland, regardless of age or sex, all had excellent skills in slaughtering livestock. With only a palm-sized knife in their hand, they could kill, skin and decompose an livestock, even the blood was removed.
Don't waste it. A few drops of blood splashed on the ground during the whole process can be regarded as poor craftsmanship.
After the livestock is slaughtered, the skin, hair, meat, horns, tendons, glue, bones, etc. must be sorted and processed. The whole body of the livestock is a treasure, and every part has a great use. It is wealth, and naturally it cannot be wasted.
The herdsmen responsible for slaughtering the livestock looked numb. Many of the livestock were originally used as food for this winter, so 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, but now they have also been slaughtered.
But the rise and decline of tribes on the grassland, the phenomenon of being masters one day and slaves tomorrow is commonplace for everyone.
They are highly adaptable and can face reality: today you are my vassal, and tomorrow you defeat me, I will be your vassal; today I am her wife, and tomorrow you will take her captive, and I will serve as your pillow.
, to bear children for you. It is not easy to survive on the grassland. The existence of life is based on integrity, chastity and emotion. Knowing that becoming a slave is the best ending, so they quickly entered
Role, work hard with all your heart.
In a gray and shabby tent, Sakura stood there, her face livid with cold, she pinched her cheeks and seemed to be frozen. (《》)
This was a tent for slaves, and there was naturally no carpet on the ground. It would be more difficult for her to sit down, so she could only stand.
Suddenly, a team of soldiers armed with armor and neatly dressed walked towards the tent surrounded by a man. Those who were patrolling around the field pointed at the women who were working in the field to see who looked good and planned to wait for the slaughter.
As soon as the work on the animals was over, they were dragged back to the tent. The lustful warriors saw this scene and knew that a noble person was coming, so they all avoided it.
None of the women working in the field are too beautiful. The more handsome women have been taken back to their tents by the leaders. If the remaining women are selected, it is not a bad thing, at least they can have
In a warmer place to stay, you can eat more food than others, and you have a greater chance of survival.
Whether those ordinary slaves, whether they are cold or hungry, can persevere, can only leave it to their fate. In this cruel living environment, beautiful women have a much better chance of survival than ordinary people.
The group of people stopped in front of the tent where Sakura was imprisoned. They lined up on the left and right, and stood there. One person in the middle strode into the tent with four guards.
She is Mrs. Huo'a. She wears a precious sea dragon leather jacket on her upper body, a pair of fox skin trousers on her lower body, and a pair of cowhide felt boots. They are very warm and easy to ride and shoot, but they are a little too bulky.
The clothes she wore concealed her voluptuous figure that made all living beings upside down. Because she wore a mink fur hat on her head, and the fur hat covered her ears, it even concealed her moonlit face.
From a distance, she looks like a noble leader with a fair face and graceful bearing. Only when you get close can you clearly see her charming facial features and a pair of watery peach blossom eyes. These peach blossom eyes, at this moment, are hidden.
With evil spirits, she stared at Xiaoying coldly. After a long time, Mrs. Huo'a slowly uttered a sentence: "Ulan Tuya, hello! You are very good!"
Xiaoying already knew that she had fallen into the hands of the pursuers sent by Mrs. Huo'a. After her identity was revealed, she knew that she would definitely meet Mrs. Huo'a. At this moment, she looked calm and unflustered, and just asked Huo'a.
The lady bowed and said calmly: "Ulantuya has seen Hatun!"
"I thought you died in the battle between Hashiha and the Three Kings, and I was sad for you for a long time..."
At this point, Mrs. Huo'a's fair face became flushed with anger: "Ulan Tuya! Although you and I are distant relatives, since you defected to me, I have treated you like a close relative, which is really not bad! Why do you think so?
We left without saying goodbye and defected to Arutai again? As soon as our Wala army entered Tatar, we were attacked by surprise. They knew our marching route very well. I have never figured it out, but it turned out that you were the informant! Why? Why did you do this?
!”
Xiaoying had known that this matter could not be hidden, and Mrs. Huo'a would definitely be able to find out the truth from the other captured generals. She had already thought of a way to say it, and then she gently lowered her eyes and said calmly: "Because
, I don’t want to marry the Great Khan!”
Xiaoying slowly raised her eyes and said softly: "Hatun has a bad fate. Although I hold the power now, rule a place, and belong to myself for the rest of my life, have I ever been able to control myself? Ulantuya doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of Hatun. I have nothing.
, now only this body belongs to me, and I want to give it to someone I love!"
Mrs. Huo'a laughed: "Absurd! Extremely absurd! Man? Hahaha, are the reeds on the meadow reliable? I can give you a reed, can it be used as a walking stick? Only wealth, power, and territory are real.
You still have this illusion! Just because of this, you betrayed me? You said, we sent troops to attack the Tatars, where did you get the information? "
Sakura said nothing, just closed her eyes, covered her eyes with long and neat eyelashes, raised her chin slightly, and looked like she was at her disposal. ("")
A guard next to Mrs. Huo'a shouted: "How dare you not answer Hatun's question!"
Mrs. Huo'a stopped his movements and said coldly to Xiao Ying: "I heard that Alutai accepted you as an adopted daughter?"
Xiaoying pursed her lips and didn't answer. Mrs. Huo'a smiled coldly and said, "Okay! I treat you as if I were my own child, but you betrayed me and went to Alutai. Let's see what Alutai will do to you!"

It was freezing and snowy, the road was blocked by heavy snow, and there were no pedestrians at all. However, in the vast snowfield, there was a group of people trudging forward.
The snow is knee-deep and the horses can no longer run freely. Once they stop, they have to be wrapped in cold-proof wraps, belly wraps, and felt blankets to prevent the horses from freezing. This is not the time to travel on horseback, so
More than a hundred people were divided into a dozen sledges, which were pulled by dogs. The people driving the sledges were expert sledge drivers recruited from the Jurchen tribe. Under their control, the sledges were speeding across the snowy fields.
Ding Yu was wearing a sheepskin jacket, cotton trousers, leather-covered felt boots, a dog-skin hood, and a towel on his face. The edge of the towel had been covered with a layer of white frost and snow from breathing, and his eyes were all shining.
There was also a lot of frost on his eyes, turning his thick eyebrows white. In the distance, you could see a gray shadow, which was a tent. The Arutai station was about to arrive...
At this time, Arutai was receiving a Wala envoy in the big tent.
Arutai's grain and grass were burned, and he was furious. He began to suspect that there were enemy spies within him, because the place where the grain and grass were stationed was very secret. Even most people in the clan did not know it. But since those who knew the details were
Among the core personnel of Tatar, he really couldn't guess who leaked the secret.
At present, the Tatars were in danger, and it was impossible for him to launch a large-scale campaign to clean up the interior. In order to stabilize people's hearts, he had to put the matter aside and ask for food from Liaodong for the time being, and at the same time, he urgently asked the Ming Emperor for mediation.
Because of Ji Gang's manipulation, the situation has developed beyond Xia Xun's control. The emergency measures that need to be taken involve military, political, diplomatic and other major aspects. Without the emperor's permission, Xia Xun cannot mobilize troops and horses to make decisions.
Therefore, he hurriedly wrote a memorial and reported it to the emperor. At this moment, the imperial edict had not yet been issued. Ding Yu received a message from Arutai asking for food and learned that the Tatars were defeated, so he hurriedly came to investigate 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 knows Xia Xun's overall plan, so he naturally understands this task. The other two people are the commander-in-chief Zhang Jun and the chief envoy Wan Shiyu. Since
When he learned of the sudden change in Tatar, he naturally wanted to take a closer look in order to understand it clearly and prepare for Liaodong's intervention.
Although Arutai suffered a big loss, fortunately he still had Liaodong as a backer, so he did not despair. He had a head-on confrontation with the Wala side. Although he suffered heavy losses, he also inflicted heavy losses on the Wala side. Arutai was defeated.
Although he had several generals, he also captured several generals from Wala, including Mandulatu, the general from Wala who burned his food and fodder.
The most important factor that allowed him to stabilize his military morale was that during the chaos of the battle, King Taiping, the king of Xianyi of Wala, who came to kill him, was hit by a stray arrow and died. This was the good news that he learned only after cleaning up the battlefield. Now Taiping
The head of the Tatar tribe was hung on a high pole outside the tent. After catching this straw, the Tatar tribes, which were about to collapse, finally boosted their morale and prevented them from falling apart.
The envoy from Wala was not sent by the Great Khan "Tuo Tuo Bu Hua", but by Huo Aha Tun. Mandu Latu was a wise and courageous general under Huo Aha Tun.
Huo Aha Tun was a persistent supporter of Huo Aha Tun. His capture was a big blow to Hua Aha Tun. Huo Aha Tun sent someone to send a message that he was willing to exchange Ulantuya for Mandu Latu, and both sides would exchange horses and generals.
Arutai was at the top. As soon as he heard the envoy explaining his purpose, he laughed loudly and said: "That's ridiculous! How dare Ahatun'an threaten this king with a woman! You can change it if you want. You can exchange your horse for a general. Naturally, the one you exchange is a general."
My king's general, Ars Leng, was captured by your Wala, so if you exchange him for him, I will agree!"
Ars Leng's father, Lord Narisong, the leader of the Chaba cadre, heard this and couldn't help but look at Arutai gratefully.
The envoy of Huo A Hatun said: "Alsi Leng was captured by the tribe of King Xianyi King Taiping. Lord Taiping died in the battle. The people in the tribe are in a violent mood. How can Hatun go to King Xianyi in order to replace his own general?
The tribe wants people? As far as I know, this Ulan Tuya is the righteous daughter of the king. It was her who informed the king that he won the first battle and annihilated my 20,000-strong army of Wala. She has great credit for the king. The king really has the heart to do so.
Abandon it?"
Arutai's eyes turned cold, and he shouted sternly: "I have great ambitions in the world, how could I care about a mere woman? It is said that she is just a Wulantuya, even if she is my biological mother, daughter, and wife,
It’s not a pity! If you want to change, let my beloved general return. Otherwise, it will just be a life-and-death situation, and there is no point in talking about it!”
