Chapter 1399 Go or Stay
Thanks to the book friends: "Yingchuan Little Bird" for the rewards!
...
Tuo Huan said coldly: "Back then when your old king went to the East, he didn't say anything wasted."
The long-bearded man's smile remained unchanged, and he said with a little contempt: "At this time, at that time, our country has accepted your invitation this time to defend the Oirats against the invasion of the Ming people. There is no benefit, how can we send troops?"
Tuohuan didn't get angry, he remained expressionless for a long time, nodded and said: "I see, the envoy should go to rest first."
The long-bearded man nodded, stood up and bowed slightly, and then walked away with his companions.
Tuo Huan was silent, and the people in the tent did not dare to show their atmosphere.
Tuo Huan's complexion gradually became rosy, he stood up suddenly, kicked over the desk, roaring like a raging lion: "Those damned guys, they only see the benefits, but they don't want to contribute. How can allies be trusted?"
None of the following people dare to answer this question.
When preparing to form an alliance with the Harlei people, there were many disputes within Wala. Some people objected, saying that as long as they did not provoke the Ming people, Ansheng would develop, and the Ming emperor would not foolishly come to the north to conquer.
But Tuohuan was still young after all, and after the only opponent left on the grassland was Tatar, his heart was restless.
So he despises Atai and the Tatars who have taken refuge in the Ming people, and keeps sending out cavalry to harass Atai and humiliate him!
"Grand Master, Emperor Ming's temperament is like that, he will definitely send troops!"
Some people boldly expressed their thoughts, and others expressed their opinions one after another.
"Grand Master, Emperor Ming's temperament is as fierce as fire. The news that we are going to harass Atai and Bianqiang must have arrived in Beiping long ago. With Emperor Ming's disposition, he must not be willing to wait for a moment. The Ming people must be gathering an army at this moment. , mobilize food and grass to prepare, grand master, we have to make several preparations!"
"Yes! The people of Harlie are not authentic, Grand Master, they are just waiting and watching. They won't send troops if Emperor Ming's army doesn't move out of the fortress!"
"Or let's evacuate, to Beggargis!"
Qierjisi is not an opponent of the Oirats, and everyone is confident in this.
Tuo Huan looked at these people coldly, and after the voice gradually died down,
He said: "Sooner or later, the place of Qierjisi will be ours, but until Emperor Ming is defeated, this matter cannot be discussed again."
Someone agreed: "Grand Master, if we haven't defeated Emperor Ming, then we will have no appeal on the grassland. Even if we retreat to Qierjisi, we will be homeless dogs."
Tuo Huan nodded, "That's right. Also, don't look at the arrogant delay of the messenger of Harleen, but that's because there is no news from Emperor Ming, and after the Ming army has left the fortress, it will be time for everyone to show their cards!"
Seeing the excited expressions on everyone's faces, Tuo Huan showed his first smile of the day, a little stiff.
"Before that, everyone should hurry up and train their subordinates. Remember, this battle will determine the pattern of the grassland for decades to come. If you lose, Wala will cease to exist, because even if Emperor Ming doesn't plow Tingsao acupuncture points, Harlei people will also annex us as a tonic..."
...
The pasture is green, and the flock of sheep roams among them like white clouds, but the cheerful singing of the shepherdess is missing.
Only an old shepherd sang a desolate song on horseback, and the singing echoed on the grassland, making people melancholy.
A Tai stood on the hillside, watching this scene, and refused to turn back for a long time.
"My lord, Mr. Zhong is here."
Yuelu walked up the hill, seeing the scene in front of him, feeling inexplicably sad in his heart.
Once when Alutai was there, the Tatars were prominent for a while. Facing the famous general Qiu Fu of the Ming army, they won a battle and shocked the grassland.
But Qiu Fu's defeat attracted Zhu Di, and there was no peace on the grassland ever since.
When A Tai turned around, a smile was already on his face, he looked at Zhong Ding who was approaching and said, "Does Master Zhong have any news?"
Ever since Oala began to harass the Tatars, Atai knew that the next big battle on the grassland was not far away. But Tatar was weak, and without Ming's help, he could only migrate north with his tribe, or simply migrate to Nuer Gandusi.
Zhong Ding: "Is the prince worried about the Wala people?"
During this period of getting along, Atai knew Zhongding's city well, so he didn't hide it, he just smiled wryly: "Master Zhong, the Wala people are getting more and more arrogant, may Nuer Gandusi send troops over?"
After Alutai was captured, the Tatar pastures changed, and they slowly migrated to the side near Nuergandusi, hoping to rely on Daming's presence in Nuergandusi as a backer.
Zhong Ding looked at the flock of sheep in the distance, and said in a relaxed mood: "My lord, don't worry. Since the Oirats started to stir up, His Majesty must have been planning a plan to attack them. I conclude that the Ming army is ready to go out. We just need to Just send scouts to and from Xinghebao to check for news."
A Tai still worried and said: "I'm afraid that Tuo Huan will put all his eggs in one basket!"
Zhong Ding said with a smile: "Our people have gained a lot in both Oara and Halle. Before the Halle state decides to intervene in this war, Tuo Huan dare not put all his eggs in one basket."
A Tai sighed, and went back with Zhong Ding.
After returning to his temporary residence, Zhong Ding went to find Shenyang who had just returned a few days ago.
Shen Yang was eating, a big bowl of boiled mutton looked tasteless, but he ate heartily.
Seeing Zhong Ding coming in, Shen Yang didn't speak, but speeded up his eating.
Zhong Ding was not in a hurry, he sighed slightly in his heart looking at the bearded Shen Yang.
Such a family of Jinyiwei with no bright future, after some changes, has become a secret agent running around on the death line.
Shen Yang even drank the soup, then put down the big bowl, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and said, "Master Zhong, if you have any questions, just ask."
Zhong Ding looked outside, and then asked: "Ah Tai is a frightened bird now, if Daming doesn't send troops, he will definitely run away. Do you have any news about this?"
A sharp light flashed in Shen Yang's eyes, and Zhong Ding quickly explained: "I just asked casually about this matter, you don't need to answer it."
Shen Yang hummed, and said vaguely: "This is a major military matter, Ah Tai is not qualified to know, you..."
Zhong Ding said with a wry smile: "When a subordinate official arrives here, it is tantamount to exile. He must not be a trusted person, that's all."
"And wait."
Shen Yang got up and went out to look outside, and when he came back, he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has already received the news of the collusion between Wala and Halie. According to His Majesty's disposition, he must send troops. Also, Atai is more respectful these days. We have also infiltrated a lot inside the Tatars, Your Majesty will not give up on the Tatars, otherwise this grassland will become an open space in the future, which will be of no benefit to Ming Dynasty."
Needless to say, Zhong Ding cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Master Shen for clarifying the confusion, I understand."
Jin Yiwei's hundred households are ranked sixth, while Zhong Ding is an official of seventh rank. Although Jin Yiwei was in decline at this time, it was not something that exiled guys like Zhong Ding could provoke.
Shen Yang said in a dark tone: "This battle is about the fate of the Ming Dynasty, everyone should be cautious and do their best, otherwise Yang Zhu from the East Factory is always looking for opportunities to make meritorious service, Master Zhong, take care! "
Zhong Ding was startled, and when he looked back, he saw Yang Zhu was looking at him and Shen Yang outside with a smile.
Seeing that Zhong Ding was afraid, Shen Yang smiled and said: "He doesn't dare to eavesdrop, he just knows how to monitor, Mr. Zhong doesn't need to be afraid."
The mutual restraint between Jinyiwei and Dongchang is very effective, at least here, no one dares to move their shady minds.
Zhong Ding went out, nodded with Yang Zhu without looking sideways, and continued to leave without looking sideways.
After he left, Yang Zhu and Shen Yang exchanged eyes for a while, and then left with a smile on their face.
