For Sanniangzi, this choice was very important.
If she made the right choice, then everything would be fine. If she made the wrong choice, then she would be doomed eternally.
Glancing at her brother, Mo Rigen, Sanniangzi said in a deep voice, "What do you think we should do?"
"Hatun, someone from Hwang Tae-gil is here to deliver a message!"
Before Mo Rigen could speak, a guard's voice came from outside. Both of them were stunned and looked at each other. Their faces turned ugly.
Obviously, Hwang Tae-gil couldn't wait any longer. This was his ultimatum.
"Let him in!" Sanniangzi thought for a moment and said.
Not long after, a sturdy man came in from outside and bowed to Sanniangzi, "Ha Rigen greets Hatun!"
Looking at Ha Rigen, Sanniangzi said, "What did Hwang Tae-gil ask you to say?"
"The Great Khan intends to send troops to Daming. He ordered all the troops to assemble. If Hatun is willing to hand over the Great Khan's seal and follow the army to attack Daming, the Great Khan is willing to let bygones be bygones!" Ha Rigen looked at Sanniangzi and said loudly.
Sanniangzi raised her eyebrows, "What if I don't want to?"
"If Hatun doesn't want to, then the Great Khan will bring his men to Bansheng City!" Ha Rigen said with a hint of pride on his face.
Looking at Ha Rigen, Sanniangzi smiled, "Alright, then I'll wait for Hwang Tae-gil. Let's see how he will trample my Bansheng City!" Saying this, Sanniangzi said to Mo Rigen, "Send him out!"
After Ha Rigen left, the tent fell into silence. Mo Rigen and Sanniangzi didn't say anything.
"Sister, are you really going to start a war with Hwang Tae-gil?"
Mo Rigen said worriedly, "If we do this, we will only go along with Daming's plan. Besides, our military strength is far inferior to Hwang Tae-gil's!"
"So what if we don't fight?" Sanniangzi looked at Mo Rigen. "If we don't fight, will Hwang Tae-gil let us go?"
Mo Rigen pondered for a moment and said, "Didn't Hwang Tae-gil say that he would let bygones be bygones?"
Glancing at her brother, Sanniangzi did not speak this time. Sanniangzi knew very well what kind of person Hwang Tae-gil was.
He said that he would let bygones be bygones, but did he really mean it?
Absolutely impossible.
He could accept handing over the Khan Seal, but he couldn't accept going with the army.
Once he started a battle with Daming, his escape route would be completely cut off.
This was secondary. Once the battle started, it was hard to say how many people would support him.
In addition, with Daming's combat strength, if his side suffered too many losses, Hwang Tae-gil would definitely take the opportunity to annex him.
As for whether his side would suffer too many losses, it would be fine if he went with Hwang Tae-gil.
Once he left Bansheng City, he would probably end up miserable, and so would his son.
Glancing at him for being rude, Sanniangzi stood up and said, "Send someone to contact Daming and tell him about our situation. Let Daming send his troops." Saying this, Sanniangzi looked at Mo Rigen and said seriously, "You go personally!"
Mo Rigen was stunned. Was he really going to get involved with Daming?
In his heart, he was actually a little unwilling.
"There's no need to think about it. The grasslands will always be the grasslands. Daming's people can't stay on the grasslands forever. Once we eliminate Hwang Tae-gil, Walla will be ours."
Saying this, Sanniangzi looked at Mo Rigen and said, "When that time comes, we can do whatever we want."
Sanniangzi was actually painting a big cake for Mo Rigen, and also promising him benefits.
Although Mo Rigen was his younger brother, it was unrealistic to ask him to fully support him without giving him benefits.
Mo Rigen didn't represent himself, but the Qilagute tribe behind him, as well as the tribes that supported him.
Sure enough, hearing Sanniangzi's words, Mo Rigen's eyes lit up.
Once Bu Daming was rude and became the Khan, his Qilagute tribe's status would definitely rise.
If one day Bu Daming was rude and died, he might become the Khan one day.
Thinking of this, Mo Rigen's heart was lifted.
"Okay, I'll go and make the arrangements. I'll leave the city tonight!"
Mo Rigen nodded his head vigorously and agreed. Then, he turned around and walked outside.
Sanniangzi looked at Mo Rigen's back, and her eyes flickered.
Although Mo Rigen's expression was only for a moment, Sanniangzi still saw him glance at her son. Bu Daming was rude.
Sanniangzi could naturally guess Mo Rigen's thoughts. Her younger brother wanted to be the Khan.
Seeing his mother looking at him, Bu Daming called out carefully, "Eji!"
Although Bu Daming was only nine years old, children of the poor became masters at an early age, let alone children of the grasslands.
On the grasslands, thirteen or fourteen years old was considered an adult, and one had to carry a knife and ride a horse to fight.
Bu Daming was rude. Although he didn't have to work hard for a living, he knew that his current situation was not good.
"Bu Daming was rude. You are the descendant of the Gold Family, the descendant of Genghis Khan. Nothing can defeat you. You will be the Mongolian Khan."
Sanniangzi looked at Bu Daming and said with a serious expression, "So you have to be like a warrior and don't back down."
"Eji, I know!"
Bu Daming patted his chest and said, "I will definitely become a great Khan. I, Bu Daming, am the eagle in the sky!"
Sanniangzi nodded, and her eyes flashed with determination. Since she had chosen this path, she had to walk it. She had to make her son the Khan of Wala and the Khan of Mongolia.
For this goal, any sacrifice was worth it.
For Sanniangzi, she had no one to rely on in this world. Ever since the Wala Qilagut tribe betrothed her to An Dahan, and ever since her mother gave her to An Dahan, she had no one to rely on.
Sanniangzi reached out to touch the knife at her waist. It had been so many years, and she had been living like this.
Suffering did not erase her fighting spirit. Instead, it aroused her fighting spirit at this moment. She wanted to be the master of the family and have the final say.
She could no longer rely on others to live. She had to rely on herself to live.
At this time, Sanniangzi's heart was abnormally firm. Hwang Tae-gil's threat had aroused her fighting spirit.
Perhaps if Hwang Tae-gil had lowered his attitude and given Sanniangzi some soft words, Sanniangzi would not have been so resolute. But at this moment, things were developing in another direction, and things had taken a turn.
Mo Rigen did not know what his sister was thinking, but his heart was burning with passion.
He chose a hundred elite riders outside, each with three horses. They left Bansheng City that night and galloped toward the Daming's Datong City.
In Mo Rigen's view, he was rushing toward his future, toward the throne of the Khan.
Guihua City.
Hwang Tae-gil listened to Ha Rigen's report, and his face was filled with anger. He threw the silver wine vessel in his hand and said loudly, "Then let's fight. I want to sweep Bansheng City in one battle, and then lead my men to attack the Daming City."
Datong Prefecture.
Qi Jiguang smiled as he walked back to his tent. Listening to the cheers outside, a smile also appeared on his face.
The Daming did not suffer many casualties in this battle. More than nine hundred men died, and more than two thousand were injured. With such losses, they had annihilated ten thousand of Wala's elite cavalry. This was an impressive result.
If it was the Qi Family Army that he had personally trained, Qi Jiguang believed that it would be even better.
But even so, Qi Jiguang was very satisfied. This was better than he had expected.
The Capital Battalion was well-trained and well-equipped. It was just that they had never fought a battle before, so they were not confident.
After this battle, Qi Jiguang believed that the Capital Battalion would be reborn.
"Qi Shaobao, why are you back?"
Ma Lu walked in from outside with a wine jar. He smiled at Qi Jiguang and said, "As expected of Qi Shaobao's subordinates, Commander Liu and Commander Wu. Not only are they good at fighting, but their alcohol tolerance is also great!"
Glancing at Ma Lu, Qi Jiguang knew that Ma Lu was talking about Liu Weiying.
Wu Weiying.
These two fellows were not convinced of each other's superiority and were now competing in drinking. Qi Jiguang could not be bothered with them.
"Commander Ma, you have something to say, right?" Qi Jiguang looked at Ma Lu and said with a smile, "Commander Ma, just say what you want to say!"
Ma Lu was stunned. Then, an awkward smile appeared on his face and he said, "Nothing can be hidden from Qi Shaobao. I shouldn't be talking about this during today's celebration, but these words are in my heart, and I can't help but feel happy!"
Nodding, Qi Jiguang said in a deep voice, "Commander Ma, sit down and talk, sit down and talk!"
After the two of them sat down, Ma Lu sighed and said, "Commander Qi Shaobao fought this battle beautifully. I admire you very much.
However, I am still a little worried. Once Wala invades, there will be trouble! "
"Wala invades?" Qi Jiguang looked at Ma Lu and sighed. "I'm just afraid they won't come!"
"At a time like this, I won't hide it from Commander Ma anymore."
Qi Jiguang's expression also became serious. "Before I came, His Majesty summoned me and told me all of his intentions for this battle against Wala."
"In this battle, we will completely destroy Hwang Tae-gil. At least half of Wala's combat-able soldiers will be destroyed, so that Wala will not be able to invade our borders for the next ten years."
Ma Lu was stunned. Destroying half of Wala's combat-able soldiers was not a small goal!
For a moment, Ma Gui did not know how to react. He looked at Qi Jiguang and said, "This, this!"
"Commander Ma, His Majesty said that this is a grand scheme. As for what it is, His Majesty did not tell me, and I have no way of telling Commander Ma.
However, we are soldiers fighting. Since His Majesty wants to fight, then we will fight. What do you think? "
Ma Lu hurriedly nodded and said, "Of course. If His Majesty wants to fight, then we will fight to the end."
This was political correctness. Ma Lu was not stupid and naturally knew what to say.
"Wait a moment!"
Qi Jiguang nodded and said with a smile, "When the news of victory reaches the capital, His Majesty will definitely have a new decree. At that time, we will see what to do." At this point, Qi Jiguang said, "Let's go out for a drink. Let's not think about this for now!"
Ma Lu nodded and stood up with Qi Jiguang. They walked out together.
