The Book of Troubled Times

  Chapter 282 Although there are thousands of people, I will go

  As the sun sets, corpses lie in the desert for miles at dusk, and there are stumps and broken arms everywhere. The flesh and blood of people and horses are mixed together, and the yellow sand is completely stained.

  Batu's army was invading Heshan's camp. Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling watched from behind him, and found that there was no massacre as imagined. After all, they are of the same clan, once the "chief evil" is eliminated, and the banner in the camp is changed, it will directly become Batu's power, and the conversion is so convenient that it doesn't even take an hour.

  In fact, not only the same ethnic group is like this, but also different ethnic groups can often do this, and the snowball is getting bigger and bigger.

  However, words from different ethnic groups often form the nature of "joining", which is different from the system in Middle-earth.

  In the past, Herley was regarded as a loyal subordinate who truly surrendered to Timur, otherwise he would not have been sent to the Central Plains to make troubles like a special soldier. Precisely because of being the top ranking, he knows better than anyone else that the third place in the top ranking is terrifying.

  But Batu has no such cognition, ignorance is fearlessness.

  Zhao Changhe slandered Batu for being ignorant and fearless, and Batu also squinted at the pair, secretly saying in his heart that this pair of men and women were really fearless.

   Really dare two people follow in like this, not afraid of being **** and handed to Da Khan?

   But he knew he dared not.

  Batu has experienced the incident in Yangzhou, and Chili once analyzed to him that Zhao Changhe is probably a member of Zhenmasi, that is, a member of the Daxia official, and the meaning of coming here to make troubles is obvious. And his current behavior has definitely angered Da Khan. Although he may not be punished, it would be pure foolishness if he didn't leave a way out for himself. Zhao Changhe is the way out for him, how dare he offend so easily?

  Knowing that he was deceived by the identity of Maitreya teaching method before, he did not dare to express his anger. Instead, he showed a generous and hospitable smile: "Come here, serve wine, Ben Khan wants to entertain friends!"

   Said it was a banquet, but the left and right sides of the tent retreated, and only the three of them sat in the tent, showing their own ghostly smiles.

  Yue Hongling fluttered her arms angrily: "Since when are you and him friends again?"

  Zhao Changhe pulled her to sit down, and blinked: "Brother Batu and I fought a trick in Yangzhou. We are both enemies and friends, so we cherish each other."

  Batu also said: "Just now, Miss Yue also saved me, Batu thank you here."

   As he spoke, he picked up the wine bowl, and served first as a respect.

  Yue Hongling said with a straight face, "I'm just grabbing the horse."

  In fact, everyone knows that the strategic significance can only be born after saving Batu, and it is tacit understanding.

  Batu said about the horse: "It's a **** horse from the Western Regions. When my uncle went south, someone donated the horse, but the uncle didn't come back... The horse was taken by He Shan, a shameless self."

  Zhao Changhe said: "In other words, should this horse belong to you?"

  Batu waved his hand: "Well, if Miss Yue took it in battle, it's Miss Yue's."

  Both sides paused at this point, and there was no topic for a while, and they didn't know how to start something more in-depth.

  When Zhao Changhe called himself Fadian, he revealed the most important sentence to Batu: Brother Batu, I suggest you put away your luck.

   It was this sentence that prompted Batu to swing his sword at Hu Lie, and then raised his troops, exterminated the wild wolves, united the lions, and started his tribe's resistance for survival.

   But there is a premise, that is, "Fadian" claims that "our potential power is great", and Batu feels that he has foreign aid before he dares to think about it.

  In the end, what kind of fad is this bastard, this is Zhao Changhe, and the foreign aid has become Daxia...Although he knows that this is the only way to go, but his uncle just died in Daxia, and Batu really can't get over it for a while.

  The two sides were silent for a while, and then Zhao Changhe took a sip of kumiss and said, "Accordingly, there should be many people from Ubalu near this mountain looking for me. Why don't you see me?"

  Batu came back to his senses, and casually said: "They are looking for you on the mountain where you disappeared... In fact, there are not many people, most of them have already withdrawn. There is no one here."

   "Withdrawn?"

"Of course, how could Ubaru leave the army in the mountains to find just two people." Batu paused, and sneered, "He was mediating with Heshan and me, but our army moved ahead of time, deliberately letting their envoy rush I wasted no time and finished this battle ahead of time. The so-called mediation is nothing more than splitting my tribe into two halves for a long time, how can I do what he wants?"

  Zhao Changhe said: "Then will he come to beat you?"

   "Now, his strength is much smaller than mine."

   "Then do you dare to hit him?"

   "Ubaru is the commander of the Great Khan stationed in Huangshaji, and if you move him, you will move the Great Khan."

   "Do you still expect the Great Khan to be kind to you? Or are you just content to dominate the tribe, then turn around and kneel down to Timur?"

   Batu said nothing.

  When he united the War Lion tribe, he was one of the powerful princes. When Timur was in the Yanmen decisive battle, it was unlikely that he would have trouble with him. Most likely he would acquiesce in his position as the War Lion Khan, and then attack Yanmen together.

   It's just that it's hard to say whether they will turn their faces afterwards.

  The logic of the grassland is very simple. If you want to not turn your face after the fact, then you have to be stronger.

  Batu is not without an overall plan... Hu Lie is still in his hands, and the next step is to rely on this tribe that threatens Hu Lie. If he can try to annex it, even if he can't swallow it, he can exchange it for a large number of cattle, sheep and horses. At that time, the forces will really be able to stand against Da Khan, even if Da Khan wants to turn his face, he has to consider the consequences.

   That is to say, he doesn't have to rely on Zhao Changhe, a foreign aid from Daxia who can't hit the grassland at all. This is just a way out, and the meaning is actually relatively small. The best strategy is actually to reconcile with the Great Khan, express his surrender, obey the command to attack the Yanmen, and at the same time conspire against the Hulie tribe.

  Thinking of this, he doesn't even want to socialize with Zhao Changhe too much, and if he secretly communicated with Zhao Changhe for a song to spread to Dahan's ears, it would be another side issue.

   Just as he was thinking about it, a personal soldier broke into the tent and hurried to Batu's side, whispering in a low voice.

  Batu listened with a frown, and suddenly smiled at Zhao Changhe: "It's already dark, Brother Zhao will stay here tonight, I have other things to attend to, so excuse me for the time being, don't blame me for being rude."

  Zhao Changhe ate mutton and drank wine on his own, and said indifferently: "Go, go."

  Batu laughed and said, "The two of you may not have lived in a tent on the grassland, so it's not bad to experience it once."

   After speaking, he left quickly, and the tent for hospitality directly became a guest house.

Zhao Changhe gnawed on the leg of lamb, turned his head and smiled at Yue Hongling: "Everything in the belly of the mountain is good, but there is nothing to eat, it is purely filled with energy, and a bird fades out of its mouth. Here I come out to eat roasted leg of lamb and drink kumiss, It feels so good."

  Yue Hongling sipped the wine: "This wine is smelly, I don't like it."

  Zhao Changhe said: "Do you want to drink Zhongyuan wine here?"

  Yue Hongling said: "What the **** do you have in mind?"

  Zhao Changhe stood up, opened a small gap in the tent and looked out. There were many torches outside, and some guards were patrolling back and forth, staring nervously at this place.

  He smiled slightly: "Batu's work is too rough... This situation is for pigs to analyze, and everyone should know that Ubalu's emissary has arrived."

  Yue Hongling nodded: "Yes."

"Batu didn't push himself to a dead end, and he didn't make a decision to completely turn against the Great Khan, Timur. What he considered was to use the powerful tribe as the backing, so that Timur would have some scruples and be able to unite the battle. If he continues to follow this line of thinking , we have created a brand new warrior lion tribe with our own hands, taking part in the attack on Yanmen instead of Herley."

  Yue Hongling knew what he meant: "Not only that, if he makes a thorough decision, then both of us will have to sacrifice the flag."

   "There is no such thing as cheap." Under the firelight, Zhao Changhe's eyes were a bit ruthless: "He can't make a decision, we will help him decide...but it's just a repeat of the old tricks in front of the Wang family."

  Yue Hongling looked at the profile of her lover, and couldn't hide her appreciation in her eyes.

  When the envoy of Ubalu died in Batu's tent, the Great Khan would not listen to your sophistry. Batu was speechless, and had no other choice but to go all the way to the dark and fall to Daxia.

   It's like killing the Maitreya envoy in front of Wang Daoning. If Maitreya is not there, you will only think that you, Wang Daoning, can't protect the envoy. This is intentional killing. The same is true here, among the tens of thousands of troops, the envoy was assassinated? Who else can it be if you don't want to kill yourself, Meng Gui?

  However, among thousands of armies, assassinating the envoy is comparable to the small fights in front of the Wang family's gate?

  Zhao Changhe turned to look at her, and said with a smile, "This is where the tens of thousands of troops are located. Don't be afraid, my heroine."

  Yue Hongling smiled slightly: "Hand in hand with you, even if there are millions of soldiers in front, what is there to be afraid of?"

   "Then let's go, the moon is dark and the wind is high to kill people."
