Winter in the 14th year of Orthodoxy came earlier than ever before.
It's not even October yet, and sporadic snowflakes are floating in the sky, and the yellow grass is also dotted with snowflakes, dotted with yellow and white.
On the vast plain, a large camp with a strong Mongolian style is quietly located here.
A group of people appeared in the distance. It looked like there were no more than a hundred people. The leader was wearing a thick cloak with dark crimson official robes underneath.
As soon as Wang Wen tightened the reins, the entire team stopped, looked at the camp in the distance, and asked.
"Governor Wang, right ahead is Tuo Tuo Bu Hua's camp, right?"
As the voice fell, the old figure next to him, who was also wearing a scarlet robe, also took off his hood, looked into the distance, and replied.
"Yes, this Tuotuo Buhua is different from Ye Xian. He is also flexible in his military use, but Tuotuo Buhua is more cautious. Since he went to Liaodong, he has been steady and does not like to take risks. Jian Zhai, what is the mission of this trip for you and me? , it’s not light!”
His tone was low, and it was not difficult to hear the worry in it.
The biting cold wind blew by, making everyone's robes cling tightly to their bodies. The whole team looked like travelers abandoned in the wilderness, lonely and small.
Wang Wen tightened the reins, turned his head and glanced in the direction of Xuan Mansion, with a calm smile on his face.
Under the dual pressure of secret edicts and Wang Mingqi, Wang Wen finally convinced Cao Yi and Wang Ao and secretly mobilized 10,000 troops to Xuanfu.
At this moment, it's almost time to arrive.
Withdrawing his gaze, Wang Wen looked sincerely at Wang Ao, who was worried in front of him, and said.
"Don't worry, Governor Wang. Regardless of success or failure this time, I am solely responsible for it, and the Governor will not be implicated."
Wang Ao's face darkened and he said displeased.
"What are you talking about Jian Zhai? You and I are serving the country together. If I am afraid of being implicated, why should I insist on coming with you?"
Wang Wen cupped his hands and admitted his mistake simply, saying.
"Yes, I misunderstood Brother Jiugao."
That day at the General Military Mansion, Wang Ao and Cao Yi agreed to mobilize troops.
But after all, as the minister guarding Liaodong, Wang Ao was still worried, so he had to follow Wang Wen to the Wala camp no matter what.
That's how we got the team we have today.
Riding horse forward slowly, when we arrived in front of the Tatar camp, there was already a Mongolian noble leading a team to greet him outside.
"Aga Dorji, a subordinate of Totuobuhua Khan, welcomes the Ming Dynasty's special envoy."
Wang Wen and Wang Ao looked at each other, got off their horses, held their hands in front of them, and said.
"I have met your noble envoy. We, by my emperor's holy order, would like to see Tuotuo Buhua Khan."
The Mongolian nobleman leaned over and said.
"The Khan is waiting in the tent, two special envoys please."
Wang Wen did not hesitate and stepped in. However, when he and Wang Ao passed the camp gate, a group of Mongolian soldiers came out and sealed the camp gate. Everyone who followed them was blocked from the door.
Faced with Wang Wen's immediate gaze, Agadorji remained polite and said.
"Forgive me, two special envoys. Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty are currently at war. The Khan has issued an order. No one else is allowed to enter the camp except the two special envoys, so we can only let them wait outside."
This is giving them power!
Wang Ao has been guarding Liaodong for many years, and his temper is even more violent. If he takes a step forward, he will start to argue.
However, Wang Wen stopped him and shook his head at him.
In fact, the confrontation begins from the moment you step into the camp gate.
Wang Wen looked directly at Aga Dorji and said, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Your Majesty, we are here under orders because we are here for a major matter related to the reconciliation between Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty. This matter cannot be settled in a moment."
"It's very windy and snowy outside now. If my followers stand in the snow for a long time, it might be unbearable. Can you please ask the Great Khan to allow them to enter the camp? Just find a tent to shelter at will."
Looking at the other party's peaceful and sincere look, Agadoulji seemed a little hesitant.
At this time, a messenger from a distance ran over and said a few words in his ear.
Immediately, Aga Dorji smiled and said.
"What the special envoy said makes sense. I didn't take the weather into consideration. In that case, I would like to ask your team to follow us into the camp. I will make good arrangements for it."
With that said, he waved his hand and ordered the soldiers blocking the camp gate to let the camp gate open.
Wang Wen nodded and waited for the few attendants behind him to catch up before continuing to walk towards the Chinese army's tent.
…………
As a descendant of the Golden Family, Totu Bohua has been regarded as the co-leader of various Mongolian tribes for twelve years.
But in fact, he is still very young, only thirty-four years old this year, and he is in the prime of life.
Looking at the two officials from the Ming Dynasty below who were holding their hands in greeting, Tuotuo Buhua's eyes flashed with a cold light and he said coldly.
"Wang Ao, you are very courageous. You dare to go to the camp of this Khan. Are you not afraid that I will kill you?"
Compared to Wang Wen, Tuotuo Buhua is obviously more familiar with Wang Ao.
This civil servant who had guarded Liaodong for many years did not lose to the generals in battle.
Just half a month ago, they had just fought an encounter in Guangping Mountain.
At that time, Tuotuo Buhua, with three thousand men and horses, almost broke through the city gate, but was blocked by Wang Ao, who led less than a thousand remaining soldiers.
Tuotuo Buhua has a sinister tone, full of murderous intent.
As soon as the words fell, dozens of Mongolian soldiers standing in the tent immediately drew out their scimitars, as if the next moment they would pounce on them and chop the two men into pieces.
Faced with such a threat, Wang Ao responded with indifference and took a step forward.
"If you dare, just kill me. There are 18,000 officers and soldiers in Liaodong Town, and they will avenge me."
Compared to Wang Ao's toughness, Wang Wen was much gentler. He still looked neither humble nor overbearing as he stepped forward.
"Khan is a descendant of the old Yuan Dynasty. He is different from ordinary barbarians. He naturally understands the principle of not killing the envoy when the two armies are fighting. Why bother to show off?"
This was also a strategy that the two of them had agreed on in advance.
Since they took the initiative to come to the door, they would inevitably be punished.
At this time, it is not a good thing to be tough or to retreat. Someone needs to be a good person, and someone needs to be a bad person.
Wang Ao had a tough attitude and refused to back down even an inch, so Wang Wen gave Tuo Tuo Bu Hua a nice word and walked him up the stairs.
As expected, Tuotuo Buhua stared at Wang Ao for a moment and suddenly burst out laughing.
"Wang Ao, you are not as interesting as this old man. He is right. I am a descendant of the noble Golden Family. How could I do such a despicable thing?"
After that, he waved his hand and ordered the surrounding Mongolian soldiers to put away their scimitars, and then several waiters came in from outside the tent and led Wang and Wen to sit down respectively.
Tuotuo Buhua just said with a smile.
"You two claimed that they followed the Ming Emperor's decree and wanted to negotiate peace with Ben Khan, but they changed their minds and were ready to accept the conditions of Ben Khan and the Grand Master?"
Wang Wen picked up the teacup on the table, but he was extremely vigilant in his heart.
From this sentence alone, it can be seen that this Mongol Khan, who was regarded as a puppet by the Ming Dynasty courtiers, was not easy to deal with.
The purpose of his visit this time was actually very simple, which was to separate the relationship between Tuo Tuo Bu Hua and Ye Xian.
And this Khan clearly wanted to be reconciled but not to be reconciled first, but when he opened his mouth, he said that the conditions between him and the Grand Master were obviously referring to Naha Chu who was also sent first.
This was a subtle indication to them that he, the Khan, and Kazuya Xian, the Grand Master, were of the same mind on this matter!
Wang Wen put down the tea cup, stood up and cupped his hands.
"Since the Khan asked this, the special envoy must have conveyed my words to His Majesty to the Khan, so I would like to ask, is the Khan ready to accept my conditions to His Majesty?"
