Chapter 361: C word game

  Chapter 361 The Game of C-word Scroll

"Taiji, I think it should be right. That man is very young, but people around him respect him very much. By the way, General Zuo, who has been in the grassland for a long time, respects him very much. Of course, that young man respects him very much. The general is also very respectful,..."

  Bu Shitu knew that General Zuo was the current General Feng's capable subordinate. He had visited Xihai seven or eight years ago, and he had met him once, but he had never met the current General Feng.

  Bushitu stroked his chin, pondering.

The situation was even worse than he had imagined. Although he had the support of the Ulutt Department of Duer from the Five Routes, it was far from enough compared to Su Nang. Su Nang relied on these names to win over a large group of people. It is said that even the Chahar people in the east were very supportive of him, which made Bu Shitu feel more and more bleak about his future.

  Because of this, those Han Chinese who launched the rebellion in Ningxia did not look for him at all, but went directly to Su Nang, which made Bu Shitu feel both angry and a little frustrated.

  People on the grassland are very realistic. If you have no strength, naturally no one will look up to you, even if you are in the name of your grandfather's eldest grandson, so what? Don't let the people of Zhou feel scared, if you can't exchange salt and brick tea, iron pots and weapons, silk and cloth, no one will listen to you.

  The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the tent, the curtain was suddenly pulled open, and a figure came in: "Taiji!"

   "What's the matter?" Bu Shitu looked at his proud subordinate with some displeasure.

   "The Ordos people are here." The subordinate panted heavily.

   "Ordos people? Where did the Ordos people come from?" After a moment of surprise, Bu Shitu was also a little surprised.

  The Ordos Department has always been second only to the Tumed Department on the Hetao Grassland, but the Ordos Department is even more dispersed than the Tumed Department, and they are independent.

   "I'm afraid Zhuo Litu and Zai Seng are here?" The man kneeling aside asked with his head turned, "It must have been recruited by those Han people."

   "Yes, it's Taiji Tuji and Taiji Zaiseng who are here."

   "Oh?" Bu Shitu cheered up, and the Han people also brought Zhuo Litu and Zaiseng?

The various forces on the grassland are indeed too complicated. After the Songshan Ordos tribe was expelled from Songshan, Zaisheng and Zhulitu have been wandering in the east. It is said that they surrendered to Su Nang, but they also have a bad relationship with Su Nang. The two parts of Achitu and Bintu Niangzi have little connection with Su Nang, but this time, together with Su Nang, they are entangled with those rebellious Han people in Ningxia, so the separation and combination are really unclear. .

   "Are they here to visit me?" Bu Shitu stood up excitedly.

   "No, Taiji, Taiji focused on paying homage to those Han people, and Zai Seng came to pay homage to Taiji." The subordinate knelt on the ground in a bit of embarrassment.

   "What?!" The Bushi rabbit was furious, how dare the Zhuli rabbit do this? This guy actually went to visit the Han people first?

   "Foretell Shitu Taiji, Zai Seng came to pay a visit." A feminine voice sounded outside the tent.

  Bu Shitu suppressed the anger in his heart and coughed dryly: "Please come in."

  Several guards outside the tent have already lined up, and a middle-aged man in a traditional Ordos leather robe stands outside the tent and salutes with a smile.

  The man who had been kneeling got up and walked quickly to the door to return his salute, "Zai Seng Taiji, please come in."

  The cow dung in the center of the tent burned more vigorously, turning the faces of Bu Shitu and Zai Seng red.

   "Is Zaiseng Taiji here at the invitation of the Han people?" Bu Shitu asked casually, "Is the intention of these Han people clear about Zaiseng Taiji and Dali Tutaiji?"

"Isn't Bushitu Taiji not clear? Isn't it just to win us over to fight against Su Nang Taiji?" Zai Seng's voice was very soft. Compared with other people on the grassland, Zai Seng's face was extremely fair, so fair Unlike the Tatars, more like the Han people, this is what Zai Seng is most proud of.

He looks like a Han Chinese, and he does have the cunning and treacherous thoughts of the Han people, but Zai Seng can firmly control his thousands of tents. Bu Shitu knows that to a large extent, his brother will do his best to listen to him. Views.

   "It seems that Zai Seng Taiji already knows, so why do you want to come here with Zhulitu Taiji?" Bu Shitu said indifferently.

   "Come, of course I have to come, why not come? Could it be that Bushi Tutaiji is not willing to 'join in the grand event'?" Zai Seng proudly used a Chinese idiom in it.

  Bu Shitu didn't understand the meaning of "jointly participating in the grand event" until Zai Seng explained it.

  The tribes of Hetao communicate more and more with the Han people, and they can speak some Chinese to a certain extent, but they can only answer simple ones, but if they are more complicated, it will not work.

  For example, Tatar is commonly used between the Ordos and Tumed tribes, and most of them can communicate, but there are still quite a few dialects belonging to their respective tribes, which need to be communicated slowly to understand. Sometimes Chinese has become a language for translation.

  Bu Shitu focused his eyes: "What does Zai Seng Taiji mean by this?"

"Come if there is profit, leave if there is no profit, it's that simple." Zai Seng looked very relaxed, "My brother and I each have several thousand tents, and tens of thousands of people want tea and salt, cloth and iron pots, If we don’t come, will Su Nang Taiji give it to us? Or Bushitu Taiji will take the initiative to give it to us?”

  Bu Shitu was stunned for a moment and then laughed, "Zai Seng Taiji can really talk, um, but he is telling the truth."

   "I don't know what Bushi Tutaiji planned? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Zai Seng smiled lightly.

   "It's a good opportunity, but you have to live to enjoy it." Bu Shitu narrowed his eyes.

   "Oh? Could it be that Bu Shitu Taiji came back from the West Sea to congratulate Su Nang Taiji for taking over the throne of Khan and King Shunyi?" The smile on Zai Seng's white face became more and more hateful.

  Bu Shitu suppressed the anger in his heart, "It's not up to you Ordos people to intervene in the matter of our Tumet people."

"No, Bushitutaiji, if it has nothing to do with us, of course we don't bother to ask, but Bushitutaiji, Sunang Taiji really ascended to the big position, it will affect us Ordos people, of course we will suffer more It's Bushitu Taiji, isn't it? Since that's the case, Da Zhou doesn't want to see Su Nang Taiji like this, so why can't we cooperate?"

   Zai Monk's tone became more and more feminine, but it penetrated into the heart and lungs like a needle thread.

   "Cooperation? Zai Seng, are you here to be a lobbyist for Da Zhou? When did the Ordos people prostrate themselves in front of Da Zhou?" Bu Shitu had a mocking look on his lips.

"Hehe, which family on the grassland has never prostrated in front of Da Zhou? Didn't Ling Zu Lali Ke also prostrate in front of Da Zhou to become the King of Shunyi? Isn't it the same for San Niangzi who got a loyal wife? There is no loyal wife With this flag, why does Su Nang Taiji compete with Bushi Tutaiji for the throne of Khan and the throne of King Shunyi?" Zai Seng was also not polite, "It doesn't matter if you prostrate, it's just a form, as long as it can be given to my people. Zai Seng doesn’t mind bringing tea, salt and cloth, isn’t that the case since the Han and Tang Dynasties?”

   "Then you have made up your mind to cooperate with Da Zhou?" Bu Shitu's brown eyes were even more serious.

"Bushi Tutaiji, don't worry, cooperation needs to be negotiated, and no one will do things that are at a disadvantage, so my brother went to talk to the Han people. Maybe there will be a general situation in a while, and I will visit Bushi. Tu Taiji, isn’t it because we can bind together to gain greater benefits?” Zai Monk smiled leisurely, “Bushi Tu Taiji, Duer Taiji of the five routes supports you, plus me and my brother, you Do you think we can ask Da Zhou for more?"

  *******

  As soon as Zhuo Litu left, Feng Ziying, Zhang Jin, and Feng Zuo fell silent.

   "This old slicker doesn't reveal anything. He only knows how to ask for tea, salt and iron pot, which is worse than the autumn wind." Zhang Jin said bitterly: "Are all the Tatars on the grassland like this?"

"Hehe, we Han people are not much better. The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Who is not like this?" Feng Ziying leaned comfortably on the wool-stuffed cloth cushion, very calm, "I want them to work hard." , how can there be such a good thing without spending money?"

The tent smelled full of goat. There was no way to do it. Wearing a sheepskin robe, eating mutton, and drinking goat milk were all like this, but after a few days he got used to it quickly. He even had the smell on himself. Will it overwhelm Jin Chuaner, Xiangling and Yunshang? Sister Lin probably fainted right away?

"Ziying, what should I do next?" Zhang Jin was also a little worried. After coming for several days, Bu Shitu avoided seeing him and only said that he was going out, but everyone knew that he was in a place less than two miles away in a straight line. place.

"Don't be in a hurry, haste makes waste. Bu Shitu is using up our patience." Feng Ziying seemed very patient at this time, "The more this is the case, the more ambitious Bu Shitu is, um , It can even be said that the more anxious he is, if he is really unintentional or half-hearted, he may have seen us long ago, there is no need to keep us waiting here."

"Brother Keng is right." Feng Zuo also nodded, "Bu Shitu needs us, unless he really doesn't want the throne of Tumot Khan and King Shunyi, but he is afraid that he will pay too much and get nothing in the end, so he wants us. Let's see what we can do to tempt him and reassure him."

   "But we don't have time." Zhang Jin said in a deep voice.

The original agreement was that there should be a result within one month. If there is no result within one month, then the court may have to talk to Su Nang Taiji, and that can solve the urgent need, but the follow-up may bring even greater troubles. A unified, powerful and even famous Tumed is not in the interests of Dazhou.

"Master Zhang, the more we are at this time, the more we have to put on an attitude of not being in a hurry." Feng Ziying shook her head, "I believe that as soon as Zhuo Litu and Zaisheng meet, Bushitu will be unable to sit still. It's time for Bushitu to be anxious."
