What Amugu didn't expect was that this new official was actually more radical than the previous Yang Bo.
From the beginning, he had a nonchalant attitude of talking if he wanted to talk, and fighting if he didn't. This made Amugu feel quite troubled. Many of the rhetoric he had prepared in advance were stillborn and had no chance to be used.
After all, nowadays, the situation is stronger than others, and you are the one asking for help!
In the final analysis, the chips he could use were too scarce. Three thousand well-trained and powerful cavalry were so common in Ming's eyes.
Amugu knew that if the roles of the two parties were reversed, he would make the same choice just to be on the safe side.
But despite this, the process of making the final decision was always painful. Amugu had never felt that time passed so slowly. Gradually, thin sweat broke out on his forehead and his breathing became rapid.
After a long time, Amugu seemed to have made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "I promise you, but you must ensure the safety of my leader, Zhuertu."
After this sentence was translated by the subordinate in charge of translation, it immediately fell into Yang Xuan's ears word for word.
When Yang Xuan heard this, he frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.
"As I said before, do you have the strength to bargain with Ming Dynasty?"
"A mere three thousand cavalrymen can be wiped out by my Ming Dynasty with just a flick of the eye!"
"If you weren't still a little bit useful and could attract Tumahan's main force, you wouldn't be qualified to negotiate with me at all. Do you understand?"
After Yang Xuan finished speaking, he immediately changed the subject and added immediately.
"Whether I, the Ming Dynasty, will take action depends on the completion of your mission. If you attract Tumaihan's main force into the encirclement as we agreed, then I can assure you that your leader Zhaertu will be safe and sound!"
Soon, Yang Xuan's words were translated word for word by the subordinate in charge of translation to Amugu.
After hearing these words, Amugu pondered for a long time and then spoke.
"I promise you, but where do you need us to lead Tumahan's troops?"
When Yang Xuan heard this, he smiled and immediately ordered his subordinates to get a map. Then he pointed to the place marked on the map and said.
"You just need to attract Tumahan's main force here, and leave the rest to us!"
Amugu looked along the place pointed by Yang Xuan, and suddenly realized that the place was a depression. Although there was no danger to defend around, there were a lot of vegetation nearby, making it very convenient to hide.
After a long time, Amugu looked away and immediately spoke.
"Well, but before that, we must work together to put on a show to make Tumahan relax his vigilance!"
When Yang Xuan heard this, he looked away from Amugu and immediately spoke.
"I have already thought of a countermeasure. You can launch an attack according to the established plan tomorrow!"
"At that time, I will ensure your safety!"
After Yang Xuan finished speaking, he stopped talking and waited for Amugu's response.
After the subordinate in charge of translation translated all what Yang Xuan said to Amugu, Amugu couldn't help but frowned.
In his opinion, this matter carries extremely high risks. If he is not careful, he will end up with the entire army annihilated!
Just as the Ming army cannot trust them, they cannot trust the Ming army. What if when they launch an attack tomorrow, the Ming army fakes the show and annihilates them on the spot?
At that time, he, Amugu, will become the sinner of the entire tribe!
But despite this, Amugu finally nodded and agreed to Yang Xuan's proposal, because they were desperate and needed to take a gamble!
In this way, the two sides reached cooperation despite extreme distrust of each other.
Seeing that the matter was finally settled, Amugu seemed quite happy. Immediately, he refused to stay and said.
"Please forgive me for not being able to attend the banquet."
"I must return to the camp before dawn, and I must not let anyone notice anything unusual!"
Amugu's words were finally translated by the subordinate in charge of translation and fell into Yang Xuan's ears word for word.
When Yang Xuan heard this, he nodded slightly and immediately spoke.
"Well, in that case, I will send you out of the city now!"
After Yang Xuan finished speaking, the guards waiting outside stepped forward, covered the eyes of the group with black cloth, and returned the previously collected weapons to them.
Soon, Amugu and his party, under the cover of many Ming troops and the darkness of night, left Jizhou City and rode away in the direction they came from.
"How much credibility do you think the Tatar envoy said?"
Just as Yang Xuan was thinking, Yang Bo's plain voice came, bringing him back to reality.
Yang Xuan raised his head when he heard the words. After thinking for a moment, he gave a response.
"I think what he said is at least 60% credible, but I don't intend to believe him!"
After Yang Xuan finished speaking, he looked away from Yang Bo and then sighed.
"What the two of us are carrying are the lives and fortunes of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Jizhou Town!"
"So you can never be too careful!"
After hearing what Yang Xuan said, Yang Bo hesitated for a moment and then gave his proposal.
"If that's the case, how are you going to deal with it tomorrow?"
When Yang Xuan heard this, he shook his head imperceptibly. After picking up the teapot on the table and pouring himself a cup of hot tea, he responded calmly.
"I plan to implement what we agreed upon before, that is to say, when they launch an attack tomorrow, I will let them go for the time being!"
"As for the rest..."
When Yang Xuan said this, he pondered for a moment, then asked his subordinates to take out the map again, then pointed to a place not far from the depression and said.
"Look here, this is the only way for them to retreat!"
Yang Bo looked at the location pointed by Yang Xuan on the map and was convinced.
"Well, that's right. If Tumaihan's army wants to retreat, it must pass through this road!"
Yang Xuan picked up the tea cup and took a sip before continuing.
"Well, I plan to set up an ambush here and catch all of Tumaihan's main force in one fell swoop!"
When Yang Bo heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly, and immediately confirmed to Yang Xuan.
"Then how many troops do you plan to use?"
Yang Xuan seemed to have guessed that Yang Bo would ask this question, and immediately responded confidently.
"I guess, to be on the safe side, Tumaihan will definitely leave at least 20,000 troops behind to serve as his rearguard."
"In other words, the army we need to face is up to 30,000 people!"
"In addition, the imperial court has shipped a large number of new weapons and they have been officially installed. Now we have the help of grenades, firecrackers, and other new weapons. We only need to use 50,000 people to defeat them. Annihilate them all here!"
When Yang Xuan said this, he couldn't help clenching his fists, his face full of determination.
Gradually, the night got darker. After a while of non-stop trekking, Amugu and his party finally returned to the camp before dawn.
And in the process, no one noticed.
