Mangus 'injuries only recovered in November. It had been nearly six months, and Nurhachi had not sent any emissaries to visit him. During this period, the war between Jianzhou and the Wu La Tribe finally broke out. Needless to say, the Wu La Tribe had always been at a disadvantage in the war. Mangus did not show too much concern for all of this. Instead, he handed over the affairs of the tribe to his two sons to manage while he recuperated in his tent every day. From the outside world's perspective, Mangus was severely injured this time, causing him to be unable to manage the affairs of the outside world due to his old injuries on the battlefield. Moreover, both of his sons were in charge of tribal affairs independently for the first time, so they had no experience at all and could not care about other things. From this, it seemed that Horqin was no longer able to resist Jianzhou. It was estimated that this grand preparation of Zhezhe's marriage was to show goodwill to Jianzhou.
Mangus paid no attention to the speculations of the outside world. His greatest pleasure now was to watch the battle between Jianzhou and Wu La, and to tease his granddaughter.
"Yu 'Er, ever since you were born, you haven't held a full moon or a hundred days. Instead, you've been recuperating. Do you think there will be people outside who can't sit still? Why don't I give you another one, Bugger?”Mangus teased Yu 'er in the cradle as he whispered. Then, as if he had thought of something, he ordered outside,"Go and call Ao Lebu and Zhai Sang over. Tell them that I have something to instruct them.”
Aolebu and Zhaisang were led to Mangus 'tent by the guards. They saw Mangus standing in front of the cradle with a thoughtful look on his face and asked in confusion,""Eh, Qige, do you have any orders for your sons?”
Mangus was not in a hurry to answer their questions. Instead, he picked up Yu 'er from the cradle and walked up to them. After thinking for a while, he asked,"How is the war in Jianzhou? Is it almost over?"
Hearing Mangus 'question, Zhaisang pondered for a moment and then replied,""The disparity between Wu La and Jian Province is obvious. Wu La has been at a disadvantage from the beginning. If everything goes as expected, the outcome of the battle should be decided within this month or two.”
"Yes, it's about time to end.”As he spoke, Mangus nodded." How about this, you guys make the arrangements. In order to celebrate the birth of our prairie's little lucky star, Yu 'er, and to thank Longevity Heaven for blessing me and helping me recover, we will hold a grand sacrifice. At the same time, we will invite the tribes we are on good terms with to thank them for their concern for me. If I'm not wrong, the people from Jianzhou should be here soon.”
"Yes, Qige, I understand what you mean. I will go down with big brother to make arrangements.”After saying that, he bowed and left. "The others have been putting on a show for us for so long. It's time for us to show them our stance. He just didn't know if this banquet would be smooth sailing. 'Hehe, I'm really confused. With Yu' Er around, no matter what happens, we will definitely be able to turn misfortune into good fortune in the end.'”As she spoke, she put away the contemplation in her eyes and began to coax Yu 'Er to sleep.
At this moment, he had a kind appearance, as if he had never made the arrangements and arrangements just now.
Just as Mangus had expected, Nurhachi sent an envoy a few days before the sacrifice. Although the envoy was not a Baylor from Jianzhou, everyone expressed their understanding because of the war between Jianzhou and Wula. Moreover, the envoy was a person of high status. In addition, the envoy brought a lot of gifts, so everyone understood that Jianzhou wanted to rope Keerqin in. The envoy and Mangus then had a secret conversation in the tent for a few hours, which confirmed everyone's guess.
Sacrifice was the top priority for the people living on the prairie. Under normal circumstances, besides fixed festivals, even tribal leaders had to have a good reason to hold a sacrifice temporarily. This time, Mangus used his own wound and Yu 'er's birth as an excuse to hold a sacrifice. The true meaning of this was clear to all the leaders of the various political powers. Everyone was also looking forward to what kind of exciting scene this unofficial meeting before the tribal alliance would be. Of course, they were very much looking forward to it, and they also believed that this meeting would not go smoothly.
Because the sacrificial ceremony was an internal ceremony of the tribe, the envoy from Jianzhou only watched from the side. After the solemn sacrificial ceremony was completed, he walked towards Mangus."Congratulations, Leader. This is Longevity Heaven's blessing. It has turned Leader's misfortune into good fortune and allowed you to obtain a little lucky star granddaughter. This is Longevity Heaven's blessing to Keerqin.”
"Hahaha, thank you for your kind words, sir. Please take a rest first, and then we'll have a good talk.”
"Alright, then I'll thank you in advance for your hospitality.”
Banquets in the grasslands would not be held indoors. At this moment, Mangus was sitting in the main seat. On his left and right were the emissaries of the various tribes who had come this time. Below them were his subordinates. On the open space several feet away from him, a bonfire was burning, and a group of young men from the grasslands were dancing around it.
Mangus was drinking and chatting with the people sitting around him, and from time to time, a burst of hearty laughter rang out.
"Respected leader Keerqin, I heard that your second son had a daughter a few months ago. It is said that although this girl is still a baby, she has ice skin and jade skin. She is beautiful and has an auspicious life. Our Great Khan said that although the war is tense now, our two clans are in-laws, so he ordered me to bring gifts. He also said that next time, he will personally visit this little girl.”As he spoke, the messenger took a red sandalwood box from the attendant beside him and handed it over with both hands.
Although red sandalwood was not particularly precious to the nobles, the people of the grasslands did not use sandalwood often. Thinking of what the messenger had said, this showed that Jianzhou was close to Horqin. Therefore, Mangus ordered someone to solemnly receive the box, then raised the wine cup and welcomed the wine that the messenger had offered. After that, the other tribes also sent their gifts, but none of them dared to go beyond Jian Province. After all, it seemed that the day of the marriage between Jian Province and Keerqin was close at hand. No one wanted to offend the strong man of the grasslands.
The banquet was coming to a smooth end amidst everyone's thoughts. Just as everyone was about to end the banquet, they were half sobered up by the sound of weapons clashing from the main tent.
