Ever since Minte had an accident on the grassland, Buhe sent people to search the entire grassland, but found nothing. Not only Buhe was looking, but Lin Danhan was also looking.
Before, Bu He thought that the other party was holding Hai Lanzhu temporarily just to extort something. If that was the case, Bu He would feel more at ease. Ten days have passed, and a month has passed, and there is still no news. At this time, Bu He even
He was already in despair. In his heart, perhaps his most beloved daughter was no longer alive. A woman as beautiful as his daughter was living in the grasslands, and he could not imagine the fate he would end up with.
Bu He really loves Hai Lanzhu, not only because of Hai Lanzhu's beauty, but also because of Hai Lanzhu's intelligence and sensibleness. After the marriage, in fact, Huang Taiji really wanted to marry Hai Lanzhu, but Bu He did not agree.
Then he retreated to the next best thing and married Bu Mu Butai.
Seeing Hailanzhu grow up day by day and finally becoming a big girl, Buhe realized that he couldn't keep her after all. After careful consideration, he chose to marry her to Lin Danhan.
At that time, there were two choices, one was Lin Dan Khan who was nearby, and the other was Aba Dai who dominated Mobei. But after much deliberation, he chose Lin Dan Khan. Lin Dan Khan was relatively close, and his concubine had recently died of illness.
Bu He thought he had chosen a good home for Hai Lanzhu, but he never returned.
Today, Bu He and Wu Keshan have given up completely. In order to find Hailanzhu, Wu Keshan even secretly went to Guining City. Nothing was found and there was no way to find it. But just when there was no hope at all, Hailanzhu's autograph letter turned out to be
Sent to Horqin.
This is not a simple letter. Hai Lanzhu briefly described his experiences at that time and his current life. It focused on the situation of Xia Yun Mansion and Tie Mo. It can be seen that Hai Lanzhu has a deep understanding of the current situation.
I am very satisfied with my life and I really like my man.
In Hai Lanzhu's letter, Bu He saw an earth-shaking Yun Mansion and how a man quickly grew from a small soldier to a powerful force. There are some things about Yun Mansion and Tie Mo that Hai Lanzhu doesn't need to introduce, and so do Bu He and his son.
You know. In the past two years, the most shocking thing on the grassland is not that Lin Dan Khan captured the four Chahar tribes, nor that Aba Dai swept across the Tula River, but that one person unified the Hanhai grassland.
The eight tribes of Chahar, Sunit and Naiman have occupied the Hanhai Grassland and have been fighting for nearly a hundred years. Before, these two tribes seemed to be inconspicuous and not very powerful, but they were combined into one.
After Hanhai Grassland belonged to the same person, everyone discovered how powerful the unified Hanhai Grassland was.
Thirty thousand warriors occupy the most fertile pastures and guard the trade route between Urg and the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that anything on the grassland cannot bypass the Hanhai Grassland.
At this time, the name Tie Mo finally entered Bu He's field of vision. However, just for understanding, Bu He was not too interested, because no matter how Tie Mo was, it seemed to have nothing to do with Horqin, because the two sides were too far apart.
And Buhe has no intention of unifying the grasslands, and there will be almost no intersection or conflict between the two sides.
Never thought that Hai Lanzhu would be by Tie Mo's side.
Now that Tie Mo and Hai Lanzhu have become husband and wife, they just need to go through the formalities openly. Judging from the meaning in Hai Lanzhu's letter, she also likes Tie Mo very much.
Now, Bu He was in a bit of trouble. It was not that Bu He was dissatisfied with Tie Mo, nor did he think Tie Mo was not strong enough. On the contrary, the reason why Bu He was worried was precisely because Tie Mo was too powerful.
Zhang Bei's power has risen rapidly, and now he has captured Tumochuan. It can be said that there are three pillars on the Mongolian grassland now. Tie Mo, Lin Danhan, and Aba Dai are vying for the position of grassland overlord, plus Huang Taiji is eyeing him. And Tie Mo
Mo happened to be a Han Chinese and the deputy commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty. The identities of the two parties were indeed somewhat rigid.
Others didn't know it, but Bu He knew very well that the Horqin tribe was attached to Hou Jin and often followed Huang Taiji to fight against Liaodong. In the eyes of the Ming court, the Horqin tribe and the Karaqin tribe were the most loyal thugs under Huang Taiji.
Recently, Huang Taiji has been deploying troops again. It is not yet certain whether he will attack Liaodong, but he will definitely launch a new round of offensive. This time, it is definitely not to attack Lin Dan Khan. If this was the case, Lin Dan Khan would have heavily deployed his troops.
Assembling in the east, how can they still think about the benefits of Hanhai Grassland?
The meaning of the daughter's letter couldn't be more obvious, that is, she hopes that he can make peace and leave more escape routes for her.
"Wu Keshan, what do you think about this matter?" Bu He also wanted to take Wu Keshan's exam. Wu Keshan thought for a while and then said: "Father, I think you might as well consider what my sister said and make good friends.
Mo doesn't seem to be doing much harm to us. Moreover, even if we don't do this, others may not think too much about it, because my sister is following Tie Mo wholeheartedly, and in the eyes of others, Tie Mo is my sister's personally chosen prince-in-law."
"My sister's doing this is tantamount to pouring horse urine on Lin Danhan's head. With Lin Danhan's personality, I'm afraid we won't be able to rely on Lin Danhan in the future, and we must find another option for ourselves."
Bu He nodded lightly and frowned, "Then have you ever thought about it, Tie Mo is a Han and a deputy general soldier, and we have a relationship with the Ming court. What's more, if this matter makes Huang Taiji
You know, I'm afraid our life will be difficult."
"Father, we can't do anything. With Horqin's position, is there any other way? As for Huang Taiji, even if he knew about it, he wouldn't do anything explicitly. Maybe, he would choose a better one.
Let the people he trusts take control of Horqin."
Hearing this, Bu He's eyes flashed with light, and he finally had a satisfied smile. Today, his incompetent son finally had some enlightenment.
"Hey, it's very good that you can see this. Recently, we have sent people to pay more attention to Bulgatu. If you are wise, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others."
"Father, don't worry, I know what to do!"
Bulgatu, Horqinbu Taiji, is Buhe's younger brother. He is also the most powerful Horqin nobleman besides Buhe. He also has the blood of the Golden Family. Outsiders think that Buhe and his son are the most powerful of Huang Taiji.
A loyal helper, but in fact, the person Huang Taiji trusted most in the Horqin tribe was not him to make peace, but Bulgatu. If Huang Taiji wanted to plot something, he would not be able to get around Bulgatu, and Bulgatu was also
He has always been ambitious, thinking that one day he could sit in Horqin Khan's seat.
.......
In the Houjin Dynasty in Liaodong, the Jurchens have been mobilized frequently recently. Huang Taiji transferred the five thousand troops and horses guarding the east near Zhenjiang to the west. These five thousand troops and horses were just transferred to the west near the Karaqin tribe, but nothing was done.
Many people have not understood the significance of Huang Taiji's actions. What can he do if he transfers five thousand soldiers and horses to the west and stations them near Karaqin? Could it be that these five thousand Houjin soldiers and horses can still attack the Karaqin tribe?
?
Some people even expressed dissatisfaction to Huang Taiji, because such a meaningless transfer has no meaning except a waste of materials. Nowadays, the Jin Kingdom is also suffering from internal and external troubles and a severe shortage of materials, but it cannot afford to waste it at all. It is strange.
Unfortunately, Huang Taiji suppressed all opinions without explanation or blame. Four days passed in this way, and this army of several thousand people was still stationed near the Kalaqin tribe. If there were any changes, then
Even Horqin's Taijibul Gatu and his trusted cavalry also joined in.
At this time, Amin, who was also one of the Four Belles, finally became angry and angrily found Huang Taiji, hoping that Huang Taiji would give a satisfactory explanation.
In Haixi, Dorgon has been stationed in Haixi since he raided the Karaqin tribe and did not return to Shenyang. The mobilization of thousands of soldiers and horses naturally cannot be hidden from Dorgon and others. Duduo held a glass of wine
, laughed and said: "Is Huang Taiji flooded by the dirty water of the Blackwater River? He actually stationed thousands of soldiers and horses there, and now he has transferred Bulgatu there. What does he want to do? Is he an evil man?
Ha wants to rebel, but Huang Taiji wants to suppress the rebellion?"
Duduo's tone was full of sarcasm. In his opinion, Huang Taiji's actions were just a bunch of stinking shit.
Dorgon kept frowning. He was not as heartless as Duduo. He thought further and deeper. Duduo talked to himself for a while and felt very boring. He put down his glass and sat next to Dorgon.
He sat down and said, "Brother, why don't you speak? Did I say something wrong again?"
To Duduo's surprise, Duoergon actually nodded and said solemnly: "This time, you are wrong, and you are very wrong. Not only you, but Amin and others are also wrong.
Hey, Huang Taiji is indeed very sophisticated."
"Well, why are you still praising that guy? Is there a secret hidden here? Why didn't I see it?" Dodo scratched his scalp with confusion on his face. Dorgon flicked the dust on Dodo's shoulder and said kindly
He smiled and said, "It's not surprising if you can't tell. Huang Taiji can't hide it from people like A Min."
"Deploying troops to the vicinity of the Haraqin tribe seems stupid and pointless, but have you noticed one thing? These troops are all from the Haidong Zhenjiang area."
Duduo still didn't understand, he rubbed his neck and smiled bitterly: "So what?"
"You, can't you think too much when something happens? Do you think Huang Taiji will do meaningless things? He deliberately evacuated the troops and horses near Zhenjiang, which was actually a test. Have you forgotten? Something happened in Liaodong before
It was a major event, and Yuan Chonghuan had Mao Wenlong chopped off. Huang Taiji just wanted to test Yuan Chonghuan's reaction and make the final decision for what he would do next."
"Think about it, there is so little military strength around Zhenjiang now. What would have happened in the past? Mao Wenlong had long gone to Haidong to plunder like a bunch of mad dogs, and swaggered back to live freely. But what about now? You see
Is there a little trouble in Haidong? Zhenjiang is even calmer."
At this point, Dorgon pursed his lips and showed a bit of disdain in his eyes, "Hey, it seems that this Yuan Chonghuan is not very good. How can you achieve great things if you are timid in doing things? Huang Taiji let Haidong go.
I don’t even dare to send troops to make trouble. If he doesn’t move, then Huang Taiji will move. At least, in terms of courage, I still admire Huang Taiji. Just watch, I believe that the transfer order will be sent over in a few days.
, Huang Taiji is going to do something earth-shattering this time."
Dorgon thought he had made it clear, but Duduo was even more confused, "What's the big deal? Brother, why didn't I understand?"
Dorgon pointed at Duduo with a dumbfounded look, and then said with a fond smile: "You, you, let me tell you more clearly. Looking at Huang Taiji's various signs, he wants to use all his troops to make a detour.
To the west, break through the Great Wall and enter the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty's capital."
"This...how is this possible? Is Huang Taiji crazy?" Duduo's eyes almost popped out. For him, this incident was too shocking and could not be imagined.
"Crazy? You don't even dare to think about it, let alone Yuan Chonghuan and the people in the Ming Dynasty. Since Yuan Chonghuan didn't take the opportunity to take the initiative to attack, and the Liaodong soldiers and horses were so polite, if I were Huang Taiji, I would choose to take a gamble.
A big one."
"Hey, do you think Huang Taiji wants to take such a big risk to seize the border from the west? In the past two years, you are not aware of the situation in the Kingdom of Jin. The grain harvest has been poor and various ministries are seriously short of supplies. Several tribes on the east side of the sea are especially miserable. Haidong
In all the western departments, if we hadn't sent a batch of supplies, the situation in front of us would have been a problem."
"As the Khan of the Kingdom of Jin, Huang Taiji must find a way to solve the problem at hand, and locking the pass is the best way. There are endless good things in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty."
"Brother, don't forget, not far ahead of us, there are nearly 100,000 Liaodong cavalry looking eagerly. Once we block the pass from the west and those Ming troops attack, what will be left for us?"
"Haha, you are right to be worried. Huang Taiji was also worried, so he moved the troops near Zhenjiang to the west just to test Yuan Chonghuan's reaction. As you can see, Yuan Chonghuan did not send troops to attack Zhenjiang.
Yuan Chonghuan is so cautious. How can you conclude that once we close the border, he will really dare to send troops to attack the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom? Perhaps Yuan Chonghuan was panicked and followed us to protect the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Haha, Yuan Chonghuan is this person
, seems to have a great strategy, but in fact it is not as good as that Mao Wenlong. At least Mao Wenlong will not hesitate when he sees the good opportunity in front of him."
Duduo's face turned blue, and until now, he still hasn't recovered from the shock, "Why...how do you conclude that Huang Taiji has made up his mind?"
"Because he transferred Bulgatu's cavalry there. If he didn't make up his mind, why bother?"
For some reason, Dorgon had a hidden worry in his heart. If Huang Taiji really succeeds this time, no one will be able to shake Huang Taiji's throne in the future. And Huang Taiji's influence on various Mongolian tribes will also be further improved.

...
In Shaanxi, the civil unrest intensified. Cao Wenzhao tried his best to defend Xianyang, but in the face of the increasingly corrupt war situation, he was somewhat helpless.
In early October, the imperial court's reinforcements finally arrived. Datong Prefecture Counselor Lou Daji and guerrilla general Deng Huaiyuan led 3,000 Datong soldiers and horses, cooperating with Xuanfu Prefecture Counselor Li Jiasheng's cavalry, to raid Ansai City in northern Shaanxi.
Wang Ziyong was afraid of something happening at the rear, so he postponed his attack. As a result, Cao Wenzhao's pressure suddenly eased a lot.
