    Huoshai returned to his tent overnight. As early as the day, he politely declined Yanda Khan's invitation to live with him in the camp because of the large number of subordinates he had brought with him. Instead, he set up alone next to Yanda Khan's camp.  built a camp.

    In the past few years, people on the grasslands have been spreading rumors that a hero emerged from the Goljin tribe. He was brave in fire fighting and was also very good at tribal management. He transformed the Goljin tribe from a small and humble tribe to a small tribe.  He has developed into a very important force on the grassland. He treats his subordinates well and handles matters arbitrarily. He is deeply loved by his tribe. Privately, the tribesmen of Goljin tribe prefer to call him Goljin Khan. He can be summoned in one fire sieve.  There are more than 30,000 people on horseback and string control, which is enough for him to run rampant on the grassland.  Now even Yanda Khan dare not ignore his existence, and his attitude can even determine the candidate for the next Great Khan.

    The Goljin tribe did not suffer any losses in the heavy snowfall last year, and it was even a bit of a blessing in disguise, because the great shaman Baomen Bayar visited Huo Si and gave him something before he was born in Bintian.  - A gold mine hidden in the mountains. Relying on the output of that gold mine, Huoshai purchased a large amount of winter supplies before the severe cold came. Goljinbu passed through the difficulty safely, but Huoshai has so far  I don't understand why Baomen Bayar helped him alone. Is it to repay Huo Si for discouraging Yanda Khan from killing him?  Before leaving, Baomen Bayar looked at him meaningfully, with sorrow in his eyes: "Huo Si, you have given birth to a good daughter for the Mongols." These words are really puzzling.  .  .

    Around the Huoshi camp, the sentinels of the Goljin tribe were densely covered with clear flags. Along the way, sentries appeared from a distance or underground from time to time. The swords in their hands had been unsheathed, and their faces were full of murderous intent.  , when they saw that it was their master Huo Si, they all bowed and shrank back. They were heavily guarded, which was three points better than marching to fight.

    But here is the famous golden tent of Yanda Khan on the grassland. Yanda Khan has wiped out all the resistance forces in central Mongolia a few years ago. The tribes have expressed their willingness to surrender under the banner of Yanda Khan and obey his orders.  Under such circumstances, naturally no blind horse bandits or tribes would dare to challenge Yanda Khan's authority.  The idea of ??coming here is no different from seeking death. Moreover, the defense work around the Golden Tent is also done extremely meticulously. Sentries are scattered around the camp, and the farthest sentinels are even near the border of the Ming army.  If there is even the slightest disturbance in the surrounding area, the Golden Tent warriors can dispatch to meet the enemy in an instant.

    So what exactly is the fire screen guarding against?

    Huoshi stepped into his camp. Through the residual light of several campfires, he could see that half of the war horses in the camp had not unharnessed. The soldiers of Goljin tribe were even more fully armored. They pressed the hilts of their swords and  It looked like the war was about to come. When they saw the fire sieve coming back, they put their right hands on their chests and bowed in unison, "Sweat!"

    Although on the surface Huo Si is the general that Yanda Khan relies on the most, Yanda Khan even allows him to enjoy the honor of leading a household of ten thousand, which shows that Yanda Khan trusts him.  However, if a person's ability is too strong, or even vaguely means to surpass his leader, which is the so-called superior ability, then the poisonous seeds of suspicion will inevitably breed in the hearts of the two people, not to mention Yanda Khan's  For people of this status, it is easy to share hardships, but it is even more difficult to share wealth and honor.

    In recent years, as the power of the Goljin tribe has grown stronger, Yanda Khan has become more and more afraid of Huo Si. Huo Si has even faintly shown that he is powerful enough to compete with Yanda Khan's chamber, so recently  In the past few years, Yanda Khan intentionally or unintentionally allocated several pastures that belonged to the Goljin tribe to other tribes. The intention was to restrict the development of the Goljin tribe. Huo Si has remained silent about this, but he and Yanda Khan  The estrangement in my heart is arising bit by bit.

    This time Yanda Khan held a meeting in the Golden Tribe, Huo Si was worried that Yanda Khan would find an excuse to attack him, so he brought more than 3,000 of the most elite tribal warriors, and he even secretly arranged for more than 200  The soldiers disguised themselves as businessmen and mingled around Yanda Khan's golden tent. If something went wrong, the soldiers would immediately protect him and rush out of the golden tent, while the tribal soldiers would meet him outside and they would escape back to Gol together.  Tsube.

    Fortunately, Yanda Khan has not killed him yet this time, but what about next time?

    "Great Khan, Ehun has sent merchants from the Central Plains and they are in the camp now." The leader of Huoshai's guards reported to Huoshii in a low voice.

    ¡°You didn¡¯t let others see it, right?¡±

    "No, he entered our camp secretly."

    Huo Si caressed his beard and pondered for a while, "Mantagri, sent someone to inform Yanda Khan that I was going back to gather my troops to arrange the attack, and that I was going to set off overnight. Please ask everyone to pack up and wait for me."  After talking to that businessman, let¡¯s leave here at night!¡±

    "Yes, Khan!"

    Huo Si is almost sixty years old this year. When he was young,He already had several sons, but no daughter. The God of Immortality gave him a daughter in his later years. He was naturally very precious to him when he had a son in his later years. Among all his children, he was most fond of Jibchu and He.  He is doting on her, and he tries his best to satisfy all the requests his daughter can make. However, the daughter to whom he has devoted the most love would rather stay in the capital of the Han people than return to the grassland. Once he has a man, he will forget about his old age.  His father's behavior made him extremely dissatisfied.

    Fortunately, this daughter still has some conscience. A few months ago, she sent a caravan to Goljin to apologize to herself. The caravan brought a lot of gifts, some for him and those with the same father.  The gifts were given to my mother¡¯s brothers, and to Huo Si¡¯s wives. Those gifts were all luxury goods that even the rich could not sell on the grasslands. Boxes of soaps and scented lotions produced by Baoqi Pavilion were delivered to them.  There are also some fine porcelain and antiques.  There was even a mirror as tall as one person. I don¡¯t know how the caravan transported it over such a long distance. However, these things did not make Huo Si happy. Instead, they made him miss his daughter who was far away from home even more.

    A long, white, plump and friendly businessman bowed respectfully as soon as he entered the fire screen tent.

    "My name is Liu Yanqing, and I have met the respected Guoljin Khan!"

    The fire sifter looked Liu Yanqing up and down with sharp eyes like an eagle. As soon as this man came in, he acted timid and timid, just like those Han businessmen who often travel outside the customs. Although he was well hidden, there were still several doubts.  The corners of Huo Si's mouth rose slightly.

    "you're a soldier!"

    Liu Yanqing's slightly bowed body froze, and he lowered his head and pondered for a while. When he raised his head, his whole appearance seemed to have changed. His eyes were no longer wandering and dodging, and he looked towards the fire screen. His waist was straight, and his whole body was straight.  The man seemed extremely aggressive. "Goljin Khan is indeed very discerning! It's just that he wants to know where he has exposed his flaws?"

    "Next time you look at someone, don't look at their knife first. Businessmen should only be interested in money, and only soldiers like knives Your boots are really polished a little too bright, and your clothes are also meticulously dressed.  , the person who trained you must be a person with extremely strict discipline requirements. I really can¡¯t think of a place like this except the army. And your hands have naturally been hanging on your waist since you entered, although there is nothing there now.  No, but if you have a waist knife, that position should ensure that you can draw the knife out as quickly as possible"

    Liu Yanqing was already moved when he heard Huo Si's words. He was a spy who graduated from the Tianjin Jinyiwei Camp in the third period. Because he was good at disguise and looked like a businessman, he was sent to the grassland to gather information.

    "To be honest with Goljin Khan, this villain's identity in the Central Plains is Jinyiwei!" Liu Yanqing said without any concealment, because he knew that this was Jibu Chuhe's father, and Jibu Chuhe was the father of the Ming Dynasty.  The emperor's forbidden love is not a secret to Jin Yiwei who is engaged in intelligence work, so there is really no reason for him to embarrass himself.

    Hearing Liu Yanqing admit that he was a spy sent by the Ming court, Huo Si didn't feel any surprise. It would be strange if Ming people didn't make good use of this relationship between him and Jibchu. The Han people are extremely cunning after all.  Knowing how a kind and innocent daughter could live in such a harsh environment, it must be the Han boy who deceived his daughter.

    "I won't tell you anything. But there is something you can bring to your emperor for me!"

    "My dear Khan, please speak."

    "Tell that boy, if he dares to bully my daughter, I will lead my troops into your capital!"

    "Please don't worry, Great Khan, I will definitely pass these words to His Majesty the Emperor intact!"

    "You go!" Huo Sie waved his hand.

    "Great Khan, this villain is entering the grassland this time in accordance with the decree of His Majesty the Emperor. I come to the Great Khan to give you a gift and a word."

    "I am a Mongolian and he is a Han. There is nothing to say between me and him."

    "Great Khan, His Majesty the Emperor said that this sentence was just a conversation between the son-in-law and the father-in-law, so"

    Hearing this, Huo Si wanted to laugh. He coughed to cover it up and tried to appear serious. "What did he want to say?"

    Liu Yanqing did not answer, but took out a beautifully crafted telescope from his sleeve and handed it to the fire sieve. "This object can clearly see things ten miles away in the daytime. This is a sharp weapon for the Ming Dynasty. His Majesty the Emperor bestows it on you."  , I just hope that if you see his flag in the future, you can avoid it early, because our Majesty does not want to hurt you, which will make Jibuchu and the girl very sad."

    After hearing Liu Yanqing¡¯s words, Huo Si smiled instead of getting angry. After all these years of traveling across the grassland, no one had dared to say such things to him for a long time. He didn¡¯t expect that in his later years, he wouldHearing his son-in-law say such words to himself, he couldn't help laughing, "Your emperor is quite crazy!"

    "The villain's words have been brought here. It is up to you, the Great Khan, to decide whether to listen or not! The villain retires." After saying that, he placed the telescope in front of the fire screen. Before exiting the tent, Liu Yanqing hesitated. "  In Wayakou Fort, it was our Majesty who annihilated the warriors of Yanda Khan's Golden Horde. At that time, he only had more than 500 castle defenders around him, not elites" He paused, and then added, "Go and fight.  Those people from the Otok tribe have been in the army for less than three months, and they are not considered the most elite troops of our Majesty, so please take care of yourself, Great Khan!"

    Liu Yanqing's last words seemed to freeze the fire screen. He frowned. His first reaction was that Liu Yanqing was lying, but after thinking about it, he could tell such a confidential thing to himself, not just to brag.  Or to scare himself, he had long heard that Yanda Khan's Golden Horde warriors were wiped out by the Ming army at Wayaokou Fort. This time when he came to attend the Golden Horde meeting, he had already noticed that these Golden Horde warriors were similar to those who had been there before.  Mu Zizhi, so the rumor is true. Besides, he knows the Otok tribe. Even Yanda Khan of the Otok tribe does not look down on him. His own strength is very good. Yanda Khan  Several times, people were sent to pretend to be horse bandits to test the strength of the Otok tribe, and I heard that they all suffered hidden losses.

    Based on this calculation, has the military strength of the Ming army surpassed that of the Mongols overnight?  Could it be that the current emperor of Ming Dynasty is the Han boy that the great shaman said?  So isn't this attack on the Ming Dynasty just a moth flying into the flames?  .  .

    Naturally, Liu Yanqing had no way of knowing the complex psychological activities of Huo Si. After leaving Huo Si's camp, he first soiled his boots with weeds. His straight waist turned into a rickets shape, and he returned to his businessmanlike appearance.  He looked timid, but he did not return to the merchants' settlement. Instead, he got into the tents of the nobles in the tribe one by one. Today Yanda Khan held a Golden Horde meeting. What did they talk about?

    "Honorable Mr. Amugulang, are you satisfied with my goods? This is my first time being sent to the grassland for errands. If there is anything that I have not taken care of, please be sure to tell me. I still have hope.  The business can be done in the longer term.¡±

    ¡°I am very satisfied with your goods, you did a good job.¡±

    "Thank you for the compliment, sir. Your satisfaction is my supreme glory. I need to confirm something with you. I have to go back to collect some goods. The next time I go to the grassland will be in July or August. I don't know.  Are the goods that Master needs the same as before?"

    "Other goods are still the same. If you have a way, just get some wound medicine. The more, the better. Master, I'm not afraid of spending money!"

    "I will do my best, I will do my bestI will not disturb your rest, I will take my leave"

    "Honorable Master Mengendulak, are you satisfied with the villain's goods?"

    "That's good, but can the price be more favorable?"

    "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, because the amount of goods the villain brought this time is not large, and the profit is very thin. The villain will lose money if he gives the profit. However, the villain promises that the villain will definitely pay for the sale before winter comes.  A big discount, sir. Do you think this is okay?"

    "That's okay, but we need to change the order for winter. We don't need so much salt and tea, so reduce it by 70%. As for soap, perfume, porcelain, silk, etc., we'll get more."

    "It will be as you wish!"

    Liu Yanqing murmured in his heart, salt and tea have always been traded in large quantities, and Mongolians usually eat as much as they can. Why did they unexpectedly reduce the demand for salt and tea this time?  Is this the case only for this Mongolian nobleman, or is it the case for everyone?

    After asking the three noble people insinuatingly, Liu Yanqing's brows knitted together. The three noble people all increased their demand for luxury goods, but began to reduce the amount of basic daily necessities, and proposed that the purchase time should be advanced.  , when the grassland enters autumn in October, the transaction must be completed. Something is wrong, the Mongolians are weird, and the news must be sent back to the capital as soon as possible

    As soon as the Huoshi team broke out of camp, a sentry sent the news to Yanda Khan. Yanda Khan put his hands behind his back and looked through the thick night in the direction of the Huoshi camp in the distance. There was already a rumble there.  The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away.

    "The fire sieve is no longer the fire sieve it used to be" Yanda Khan said quietly

    "No way, Father Khan, there was nothing wrong with Huo Si's expression when they were discussing matters in the Golden Tent just now? He was still respectful to Father Khan."

    Yanda Khan¡¯s face was ashen and he snorted hard, ¡°He used to be very casual in front of me, but now he is so cautious, which shows that there must be a snake or scorpion in his heart.¡±

    ? ?Father Khan, do you mean that the fire sieve has a different intention?  " Balsbrot frowned at the side. If they are internally unstable at this time, then the grassland will be on fire, and I am afraid they will be taken advantage of by outsiders. This will be a disaster for the Mongols.

    "An immature wolf cub will ruin my big things sooner or later. After I finish solving the Ming Dynasty's affairs, I will solve this trouble!"

    "Father Khan" Just as Balsbroat wanted to dissuade him, Yanda Khan waved his hand and interrupted him.

    "This time, let him be at the front when attacking the Ming Dynasty! If he dares to disobey, use this as an excuse" Yanda Khan made a downward slashing motion as he spoke.
