The water in the river in Bailang Mountain broke the ice, and the broken ice drifted downstream. Batu dismounted from the horse beside the stream, washed his face with water, and turned back and shouted a Tartar word to the guards, presumably to tell them not to come. You Miao walked behind Batu and stayed with him, thinking about the Tatar royal family.
"Your Majesty, don't go into the woods." You Miao said.
"Does your housekeeper look good?" Batu said, "He will protect you and me."
You Miao nodded, and was a little surprised by Batu's eyes. He seemed to be quite smart. The two walked along the edge of the woods. Batu asked again, "How do the people from Nanchao judge me? Comment on He Motie'er?"
"Evaluate you..." You Miao thought about it again and again, and then said seriously: "There is nothing to evaluate you, because you haven't done anything yet."
Batu understood, nodded, and asked, "What about He Motie'er?"
You Miao said: "They all hate him very much, because he slaughtered villages and cities."
You Miao knew that although Batu did not have frequent contact with the Han people, as long as he had the will, he would definitely be able to inquire about all aspects of the Southern Dynasty. .
"The Han people don't want to fight." You Miao said.
"Neither do we, nor the Huns." Batu said with a smile.
Youmiao knew that Queen Baoyin's father's clan was the Huns, and the Huns were the closest to the Han people in the Southern Dynasty and had the most closely integrated interests. At that time, the Huns even agreed to Zhao Chao's collegial agreement and secretly provided help for the Northern Expedition Army, causing He Motie'er to have a big fight.
"I hope there will be no more wars." You Miao smiled.
The two walked slowly, listening to the sound of the stream rushing.
Batu asked again: "What kind of person is the emperor of the Southern Dynasty?"
Is it Zhao Chao... You Miao himself couldn't give a definite evaluation to Zhao Chao. After thinking for a long time, he said to Batu, "A man of temperament."
Batu said: "I don't know how he brought the whole tribe together when the country fell. He must be a very capable person."
The implication was that Batu was a little sighed about his current situation again, and said: "The mother said that the Han people are less afraid of death than us, and there are many things that the Han people can learn."
You Miao smiled and said: "In fact, even if the Tartars killed all the emperors of the Southern Dynasty, there would still be many literati and righteous people. Sometimes, it is not just the emperor who dominates a country. When the emperor is dead, as long as people are still alive, The king's way is still there, and he will not die."
Batu understood, nodded and said, "You are right."
Said Bibatu and looked at You Miao with a smile, and said, "You don't speak like a businessman. Like a... In the words of the people from the Central Plains... 'good teacher and friend'. You are a good person, and you don't lie. I like you very much."
You Miao's heart skipped a beat and realized that his disguise had been exposed again. If Li Yan, Zhao Chao, etc. found out, it would be disgraceful. , I once wanted to serve the country, but unfortunately there was no way to serve the country, so I had to do business."
Batu nodded, patted You Miao's shoulder, and said, "If you can see the emperor in the south, please help me with a word for him."
"I can't see him." You Miao said helplessly: "The emperor is high above, you can't see him if you want to see him, you think, if I hadn't voted for you, I wouldn't have a chance, I can stand here and chat with you. ."
Batu laughed and said, "That's right, if I write him a letter, will he receive it?"
You Miao thought about it and said, "This is fine. When I go back to Jiangnan in the spring of next year, I will personally go to Dali Temple to transfer it."
You Miao could vaguely think that Batu's move would usher in a new era for the two clans - he wanted to sign a new contract. The Tatars are unwilling to fight any more. From the initial aggression to the point of fighting for the final battle, now everyone has gradually started, and they do not know what to fight for. If Batu was a monarch with great talent and greatness, like his father, he might have trodden every inch of the South with his iron hoofs.
But now Wuhu, Tatar, Apocalypse, and the three forces have all been involved in the vortex of competing for the Central Plains. The advantages of the Tatars are no longer as obvious as they were when the war was just declared. Had to start thinking about the layout again. The advantage of strength has gradually tilted towards the south. In order to stabilize the political situation, Queen Baoyin must consider a long-term route.
In order to win the support of the Huns, most of the clan compromised with Queen Baoyin.
Batu and Youmiao were both in deep thought, and neither of them spoke for a while. After a long time, Batu said again, "Do you think the Han and us can live together?"
"It's very difficult at the moment." You Miao couldn't help but say the truth: "There were too many killings before."
"Then." Batu asked again sternly: "Is it possible to draw a boundary like two hundred years ago, and let everyone do business and communicate?"
It is also difficult, Youmiao said in his heart, although he knows that not all the Tartars deserve to die, but the hatred between the Han and the Tartars is too deep, and half of the country should be handed over to the Tartars. He was the first to refuse the 100-year contract, and he couldn't pass the psychological test himself.
The only thing he could accept was for the Tartars to go beyond the Wall.
But You Miao didn't say what was in her heart, she just said to Batu: "I don't think He Motie will be willing."
"He's always been reluctant," Batu said.
You Miao sighed and said, "It's better than the south. I heard a few years ago that the crown prince had been detained in the north and collapsed on the way back. At that time, the Southern Dynasty was also very noisy."
Batu knocked on the tree unconsciously with his horsewhip, and said casually: "At that time, He Motie'er suffered a defeat. He shouldn't have been so concerned about it. His mother planned to let him take care of his life in Da'an, but... He and Quanrongren Very close again…”
Saying that Bibatu realized something, You Miao is a foreigner after all, so he stopped mentioning this matter, and said happily: "You will come back after you help me deliver the letter in the future, right?"
"Of course." You Miao smiled.
Batu nodded, got on his horse again, and led You Miao across the valley and into the White Wolf Mountain.
Another day passed, and Batu finally settled on a valley bottom with a lake, where he planned to stay for one night. There are several hot springs not far away, and wild animals often come to the hot springs to keep warm in winter. The sulfur in the hot spring is a good thing for curing diseases. It can be predicted that there will be no less prey in this valley.
For the whole day, You Miao was worried. Li Zhifeng was also very nervous, but he didn't know where Nie Dan was hiding in the forest.
That night, the voices of the wolves grew louder and louder, You Miao tossed and turned in the tent, feeling extremely uneasy for a while. I slept until the middle of the night, and when I woke up, I suddenly found that Li Zhifeng was gone.
"Li Zhifeng!" You Miao sat up subconsciously, this was the first time he wasn't beside him like this. He walked out of the tent and looked around.
In the silent night, a galaxy stretches across the sky.
You Miao stood under the vast starry sky, relaxed and happy for a while, took a deep breath of the cold wind of the winter night, and was sober.
In this dark night, Nie Dan did not know where he was. Li Zhifeng went out to find Nie Dan
