In the northwest direction of Guangning, thousands of miles away. There is a little-known place called Kailu.
No one has studied what Kailu means in Mongolian language. After all, even the Mengyuan people themselves don't care much about Kailu.
But now, the leaders of the three Wuliangha guards quietly gathered together again.
Inside a large white yurt, the commander of the Taining Guards, Azashili, the commander of the Fuyu Guards, Tongzhi Haisanan Daxi, and the commander of the Duoyan Guards, Tongzhi Tuluhuqar, were sitting inside. The three of them were all tall and tall. Although they were sitting, they looked like mountains of flesh. The whole body is wrapped in animal skins, wearing an animal skin hat, and there are gold and gemstones and other decorations on the head, neck, chest, wrists and waist.
In the middle is a bonfire, and a whole sheep is being roasted on the bonfire. Two Mongolian maids are constantly turning the roasted sheep to prevent it from being burned by the fire.
There were drinks in front of the three of them, but it was obvious that neither Haisanan Daxi nor Truhuchar had any intention of tasting the wine, but stared straight at Azashri with their four eyes.
Azashi didn't seem to notice the expressions of the two of them. He held a dagger with a golden handle inlaid with various gemstones in his right hand. His huge body leaned forward, and in a few clicks he cut off a crispy slice from the roasted lamb. Pork skin and throw it into your mouth.
"Brothers, why don't you eat or drink in the presence of fat sheep and fine wine?"
After hearing this, Haisanan Daxi and Truhuchar looked at each other.
Then Haisanan responded to the joke with a calm face and said: "I think the prince must also know about the messenger sent by King Ning of the Ming Dynasty. Trulhuchaer and I have always followed the prince's lead, and we want to know what the prince is planning." of."
Azashili is a descendant of Temuge Ochijin, and was once named the King of Liao by Togu Si Timur Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Later, after Lan Yu destroyed the Imperial Court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in Yu'er, Azashili surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and was rewarded by Lao Zhu as the commander of the Taining Guard.
However, in the next year, Azashili, together with Haisanan Daxi and Tuluhuqar, secretly rebelled and once again pledged their allegiance to the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
Therefore, Haisanan Daxi and Truhuchar still called him the King of Liao when they faced Azashili.
Azashri was eating the roasted mutton. He had no intention of savoring the deliciousness of the roasted mutton. His eyes were fixed on Haisanaan's taunting, and after a moment he asked, "What are you planning?"
"Does that need to be said? Of course we have to kill those messengers! Since we have re-loyed to Beiyuan, of course we can no longer listen to Ming Dynasty. Zhu Quan thought that sending a few people here can make us obey his orders. It is simply naive. !" Truhuchar had a bad temper and couldn't bear it at first.
After hearing this, Azashi swallowed the roast mutton in his mouth. He looked at Haisa Nan expressionlessly and asked, "You think so too?"
Haisa Nan did not rush to speak, but first glanced at Trukhuchar with a frown, obviously disapproving of what he said. Then he looked at Azashili and replied: "Your Majesty, although we have re-loyed to the Khan, what have we got from the Khan in the past few years? To put it bluntly, except for the fact that we pay a lot of tribute to the Khan every year We didn't get any benefits except horses, cattle and sheep. Moreover, even so, the Khan's court was barely able to maintain itself in these years, and there was no room for growth. Looking at the Ming Dynasty, they were at the peak of their power in these years. "
After hearing this, Azashi couldn't help but lower his head and think deeply.
On the other hand, Turukhuchar did not agree with Haisanan's sarcastic words and retorted: "The Khan's court has indeed made little progress in recent years, but if you want to explain that the court has been prosperous in recent years, it is an exaggeration. In these years, Ming Dynasty People only dare to hide behind the Great Wall and don’t see what’s so great about them.”
Haisanan looked at Truhuchar with a smile, took a deep breath and sighed: "In these years, Ming Dynasty has not paid attention to the north at all, which means that Ming Dynasty has not paid attention to us people at all. I heard from Ming merchants who came to the territory that the Ming Dynasty has been busy exploring Southeast Asia in recent years. Although the Ming Dynasty has barely made any progress in the north, they have expanded tens of thousands of miles in the south and almost conquered a country bigger than the Ming Dynasty. There is also a vast territory. Now the strength of Ming Dynasty has more than doubled than before. If they turn their target to the north, can we resist it? Even if
Even with the addition of Tatars, they may not be able to resist it! "
Truhuchar knew very well how strong the Ming Dynasty was in the past. The extremely powerful Beiyuan Imperial Court was defeated time and time again by the Ming Dynasty, and now it has almost been reduced to a small tribe.
Otherwise, after being defeated by Lan Yu in the Beiyuan Imperial Court, the three of them would not have hurriedly expressed the city to the Ming Dynasty. It is conceivable that the power of Ming Dynasty really frightened all three of them.
Originally, Trukhuchar thought that the Ming Dynasty had weakened in recent years and was no longer as strong as it had been in the past. However, they did not expect that not only did the Ming Dynasty not weaken at all, but after expanding its territory to the south, its strength more than tripled.
"You, are you telling the truth?" It has to be said that Trukhuchar was even frightened by Haisanan's taunting words.
Haisanan snorted and glared at Trukhuchar with dissatisfaction, "We have always advanced and retreated together, do we need to lie to you?"
Hearing this, Azashi also nodded in agreement, looked at Trukhuchar and said: "Haisanan Daxi is right. There have been Ming merchants in my territory, although they said it vaguely. Fuzzy, but what we can know is that the Ming Dynasty is indeed more powerful than before. There are no merchants from the Ming Dynasty who dare to come here, but now there are merchants from the Ming Dynasty. At least it can show that the Ming Dynasty is indeed more powerful than before. .”
Only when the Ming Dynasty was strong could it give businessmen confidence. Only with strong confidence could they dare to go deep into the hinterland of Liaodong.
"So what if we are strong? It's great that we don't go to the edge of the Great Wall. We are right here. Will the Ming Dynasty still attack us?" Trukhutsal's momentum was much weaker than before, but his mouth was still stiff.
Azashi glanced at Truhuchar and suddenly asked: "I heard that the Tatar tribe attacked Quaning in the Ming Dynasty and stole a lot of food. Are you involved in this incident?"
"No!" Trukhuchar immediately raised his head and said decisively.
"Really?" Azashili's eyes were like sharp knives, and he pressed Trukhuchar tightly.
Trukhuchar shook his head again and replied: "We really didn't participate, it's just... when the Tatar tribe came over, they gave us a box of gold sand..."
Sure enough, I still benefited from it...but if it was just a box of gold sand, it wouldn't be a big problem.
Quaning is behind the territory of Truhuchar. How could the Tatars want to attack Quaning without passing through his territory?
"I heard that the Tatar tribe grabbed a lot of food in Quaning. Now it seems that you are getting too cheap for a box of gold sand!" Haisa Nan replied with no envy in his eyes, only a sneer.
After hearing this, Truhuchar also had regrets on his face, "It's just that those Ming people were too secretive. If we had known that there was so much food in Quaning, how could we have gotten the Tatars... ..”
"What? You still want to rob the Ming Dynasty's food?" Azashri's voice was like the howling cold wind outside the yurt, which made Trulhuchar couldn't help but tremble all over.
"Watch carefully. The Tatars have robbed the Ming Dynasty of food, and the Ming Dynasty people will definitely not let it go. Maybe this time Zhu Quan suddenly sent a messenger to summon us, it may be related to this matter."
"Your Majesty, what you mean is that the Ming Dynasty will attack the Tatars and has already sent out troops?" Haisa Nan was frightened when he replied, his lips trembling a little. As the saying goes, those who don't know are fearless. It is precisely because he knows how powerful Ming Dynasty is now that he is like this.
"But it's winter now. Even if the Ming Dynasty wants to conquer the Tatars, it will choose spring, right?" Haisa Nan replied, barely giving himself some comfort.
Azashili was not optimistic at all. His face was as gloomy as the cold wind whistling in the sky outside. He said solemnly: "We think it is impossible, and the Tatars will also think it is impossible. The people of Ming Dynasty are the best at using troops. They can attack them by surprise. , this is the common sense of Ming people!"
"Then let's send someone to tell the Tatars so that they can be prepared?" Trukhutshar didn't care about the Ming Dynasty, but he was very concerned about the Tatars. Perhaps the Tatars gave him a box of gold sand last time, and he thought it would be equally profitable this time?
Azashi looked at Trukhuchar expressionlessly and said pointedly: "What's the use of sending people there? Do you think the Tatars will believe it just based on your words?"
Trukhutsar suddenly fell silent. Indeed, even if he sent someone to remind the Tatars, they would not believe it.
Will the Ming Dynasty send troops in winter? impossible things. The people of Ming Dynasty simply cannot survive the winter in the grassland. They have no courage to come to the grassland in winter. Even if they come, they will be frozen to death by the ruthless white-haired wind.
"Your Majesty, Zhu Quan's messenger is still waiting for our news. How to decide, please make your decision as soon as possible." Haisanaan replied, seeing that Azashili had not made a clear statement, he couldn't help but urge it.
Azashi glanced at the two of them, and after a moment of silence, he raised his head and said, "I want to meet Zhu Quan, what do you think?"
"Meet Zhu Quan? He just sent a few messengers here, but we are not willing to travel thousands of miles to see him. Do we think too highly of Zhu Quan?" Of course Trukhuchar was unwilling. In his opinion, Such a move was undoubtedly because Zhu Quan bowed his head, which was really detrimental to his face as a prairie warrior.
"If we want to go, what identity should we use to go?" Haisanan answered and supported Azashili's decision without hesitation. He just wanted to know what identity we should use to see Zhu Quan.
If Azashili goes to the north as the king of Yuan and Liao, he will naturally break with the Ming Dynasty. Although they had rebelled against the Ming Dynasty long ago, at least they did not clearly break with the Ming Dynasty.
