An Ning continued to speak, and just after he said: "Eighth uncle..." Su'er raised her hand and patted An Ning's arm, indicating not to say any more. An Ning looked back at her "aunt" and then kept silent.
Sanbeile looked at An Ning, looked solemn, and asked: "Your eighth uncle wants to arrest your uncle and your aunt, right?" An Ning no longer beamed, and nodded heavily with worry. Sanbeile said to An Ning: "Good boy, don't worry! I told him not to catch your uncle or your aunt!" An Ning nodded again and couldn't help but look back at "aunt", feeling relieved.
An Ning leaned leisurely in her aunt's arms, and slowly fell asleep amidst the gentle jolts. Su'er pulled up her fox fur and wrapped it around her body. He held her in his arms with one hand, helped her pick up the "little white ball" with the other hand, and headed south with her husband and adopted brother.
Jin Yu walked north and learned from his sworn brother: It turned out that his eighth brother Huang Taiji was tied with him as the fourth Baylor in Jianzhou. This time the two of them separated their forces, and Huang Taiji wanted to return to Hetuala to report the news.
It’s just because two months ago, Cemuthe, the lord of Feiyou City in the Jurchen Warkha tribe in the East China Sea, came to Hetuala, paid homage to the Great Khan and said: “My land is far away from the Great Khan, so I surrendered to Buzan, the lord of Ula Kingdom. Tabele, he is very cruel to us, and I hope that the Great Khan will come and pick up our family members so that they can come back."
The Great Khan then sent Sanbeile's uncle Shuerhaqi, his brothers Chu Ying and Dai Shan, as well as minister Fei Yingdong, guard Hu Erhan and general Yanguli to the East China Sea to collect "vassals" and **** the newly surrendered The Warkha tribe returned to Jianzhou.
Three thousand troops came to Jianzhou, plus 500 young and old people from the Warkha tribe. The journey was long and the movement was slow. The important thing is that Donghai and Jianzhou are separated by Buzentai's Ula tribe. How can Buzentai give safe passage?
For more than ten years, Qibu Zantai relied on collecting "fans" to increase his population and strengthen his strength. The strength of Ula is even greater than that of Jianzhou. In recent years, it has never been seen that the armor, swords, and horses are extremely powerful. It can be said that Buzentai has had enough of the sweetness of collecting "fan Hu".
At this time, five hundred households came to the door. How could they allow this ripe fruit to fall by the wayside? Moreover, Buzentai currently has a large number of troops, no less than 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers and horses, and these 3,000 Jianzhou warriors make him even more eager to try. He has been eyeing and preparing his troops for a long time. He wants to kill the three thousand Jianzhou soldiers and horses in one battle, and the battle between Wula and Jianzhou for victory will begin.
Sanbeile and his eighth brother Huang Taiji tried to join their uncle, elder brother and three ministers and generals, and jointly escorted the Warkha tribe back to Jianzhou through Wula. However, their uncle, elder brother, ministers and generals who returned from the East China Sea , sent people here to ask the Great Khan to send a message to North Korea, so that the troops and horses could cross the Tumen River and return to Hetuala via North Korea to avoid Buzentai's interception.
Therefore, in the past few days, Sanbeile has gone to the Hebei post in Tumen, south of Tumen, to detect the movements of the Ula troops, while Huang Taiji was sent back to Hetuala to request a letter. Unexpectedly, Huang Taiji turned around and headed north, arriving at Tianbi Mountain.
Jin Yubei, Su'er and Yi'er went south with Sanbeile and 300 Jianzhou soldiers and horses.
In the evening, a group of people arrived at the Tumen River. But in the dense forest in the mountains, there is a big river, coming from the southwest and going to the northeast.
Although it is March at this time, during the Spring Festival Gala outside the customs, the river is still frozen up and down, and the river surface is as smooth as a mirror. Sanbeile immediately stood by the river and raised his riding whip to tell Jin Yubei that after passing through this mountain range, the river turned south and flowed from the northeast of North Korea into the sea. The twists and turns were also the natural boundary between Jianzhou and North Korea.
Sanbeile turned around and ordered his troops to camp and rest. Jin Yubei and Su'er both dismounted their horses and rested. An Ning still hasn't woken up, and Yi'er doesn't know how long he has been sleeping on his senior brother's back. The two men were seriously injured and had not recovered. They went in and out of the enemy's camp again that day, trudging and bumping, and they were probably extremely exhausted.
The soldiers dismounted and dispersed. After a while, each man came back carrying a thin and tall birch tree on his shoulders. Su'er watched closely to see how these soldiers built the tent.
I saw the soldiers working in groups of three, cutting off all the branches of the birch trees in their hands, each holding one and pressing the top branches together to see if they were firmly against each other. The bottom branches formed a triangle on the snow. Three birch tripods stood together, forming a pointed spire shape.
The soldiers surrounded the lower part with a curtain, but there was a triangular opening facing the sky above which was not tightly covered. Seeing two tents next to them, soldiers moved into the fur blanket water stove. After a moment, fireworks were lit inside, and green smoke and sparks came straight up from the triangular opening above the tent.
Arsalan stood aside and saw that the two tents had been packed up. He stood up and went to Su'er first, bowed and said: "Mrs. Jin, please come into the tent to rest." Then he said to Sanbeile and Jin Yubei: "Five Sir, strong man, please come into the tent and rest." But he left the tent twenty or thirty steps, holding the handle of the knife in his hand to check for any movement.
Su'er picked up An Ning and entered a tent. He saw that the pitch pine was burning like a blazing fire, and the water stove was hung on the fire. The snow inside the tent was first covered with bearskin, and then a layer of fur. There was a silver plate placed on top of the fur, and the silver plate was filled with Korean cakes. The inside of the tent was as warm as spring, and there was no trace of smoke or fire.
Su'er looked at the uncovered triangular hole above and suddenly realized: It's really a clumsy thing. All the smoke from the fireworks escaped from the triangular opening above. This tent was not only a place to shield from the wind, snow and cold, but also a chimney that was wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. There were fireworks rising and floating out from the holes above, and no cold air could enter. Wind and snow. How wonderful!
Su'er calmed down An Ning, then turned around and went out to untie the training ribbon on her husband's back and help Yi'er down. Jin Yubei turned around and picked up Yi'er, carried her into Su'er's tent, and said, "Su'er, I have to take care of you tonight." He stretched out his hand to smooth the hair on her temples, with a very unbearable look on his face.
Su Er smiled and said: "Go and talk to eldest brother. She is both sleeping so deeply, so why does she need someone to look after her? With so many soldiers and horses guarding her, she can have a peaceful sleep. "Jin Yubei's eyes were full of tenderness, he patted Su'er's arm and leaned out of the tent.
Jin Yubei and Sanbeile went into the tent and sat on the fur rug, adding firewood to the fire. After half an hour, the soldier brought cooked meat and hot water. The two of them cut the meat with short knives and talked while eating.
Sanbeile was unintentionally able to sit in the same tent with his adopted brother in the military and talk to each other. It was really a great joy for him.
Although this encounter was also after the war, the two of them were already at ease and calm. They were able to talk calmly while sitting in the tent. Sanbeile told Jin Yubei all the anecdotes about his origins as a Jianzhou Jurchen.
From the ancestor Bukuli Yongshun, he led his people to explore the mountains and forests and search for places to live. After his father Khan Nurhachi worked hard to recruit talents, he fought and developed for more than 20 years. All kinds of things, come one by one.
