Negotiations are about people's hearts!
If there is a crack in the heart, it only takes a little inducement for the crack to expand infinitely.
Wang Wen stood there, quietly looking at Tuotuo Buhua's uncertain expression, and couldn't help but think of the night before he left the capital.
Where did the information come from?
He once asked this question, but the answer he got was.
"Guess!"
At that time, the emperor stood with his hands behind his hands, standing next to the wall with the border defense map, and spoke lightly.
"We must attack the capital first, which will definitely leave a way for him to fall back. From a geographical point of view, as long as he can attack outside the capital, when he withdraws, he will definitely head towards Juyongguan. This can be easily guessed."
"As for the specific course of action..."
Wang Wen remembers it very clearly.
At that time, the emperor turned around and looked directly at him. His eyes were as calm as a lake of still water, but he could feel the waves hidden in it.
"Wang Qing, do you dare to take this gamble for me?"
The scimitar around his neck was quietly put down, and Wang Wen came to his senses again, only to see that Tuo Tuo Bu Hua's face had regained its composure.
Wang Wen breathed a long sigh of relief.
He knew that he won the bet!
…………
The capital, the imperial city.
Zhu Qiyu stood beside the snow-white railing.
Snowflakes fell from the sky, dyeing his shoulders white.
However, he remained motionless, looking toward the northeast, and asked softly without looking back.
"Cao Yi's military report said that Wang Wen decided to send an envoy today, right?"
Mobilizing 10,000 troops was such a big event, even if there were secret edicts and royal flags, Cao Yi still needed to inform the court.
Cheng Jing followed Zhu Qiyu, looking at the snow getting heavier and heavier. He felt a little worried, but he didn't dare to persuade him, so he only answered carefully.
"Yes, in addition to Mr. Wang Wen, Mr. Wang Ao also accompanied us. Now that I think about it, the two elders are negotiating with Tuotuo Buhua."
Zhu Qiyu stretched out his hand to catch a snowflake, watched it melt in his palm, turned around and asked: "Do you think they can talk about it?"
A trace of worry flashed across Cheng Jing's eyebrows, but he quickly covered it up and cupped his hands.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Mr. Wang is brave and resolute. He will definitely win the battle and live up to your Majesty's trust."
After shaking off the snow in his palm, Zhu Qiyu focused his gaze on the distance again and murmured softly: "Victory?"
This time, it's not just Wang Wen who is betting, he is also betting...
Betting on the lives of Liaodong and Wang Wen!
From Quang Ninh to Yezhu Pass and then turn southwest, it was a marching route that was easy to follow in previous lives.
From the battle situation, it is not difficult to deduce the purpose of Ye Xian's march, but the specific march route is a secret among secrets.
Just like Chen Mao and the others, they can infer that they attacked the capital first and took the route from Aiyangkou to Daomaguan and then to Zijingguan because these three passes were the only way to attack the capital.
But in addition to these three passes, there are dozens of small passes and routes in between from Baiyangkou to the capital.
They were able to deduce the general direction, but they could not deduce from which direction Ye Xian would attack and which pass they would pass through on the way.
Otherwise, just set an ambush on the road.
Tuo TuoBuHua had to turn southwest to join Alazhiyuan. He had many options. The road to Guangning was one he had walked in his previous life.
It was a big dream. Many things in this life have changed. Zhu Qiyu was not sure whether Tuo Tuo Bu Hua would still be like this.
So he can only gamble!
If you win the bet, you can turn the tide of the battle, but if you lose...
After taking a long breath, Zhu Qiyu asked: "How are the reinforcements going at Shanhaiguan?"
Cheng Jing said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Eight thousand troops from Beijing have arrived at Shanhaiguan. There will be no losses."
Nodding slightly, Zhu Qiyu said with a sharp look in his eyes.
"The Shanhaiguan garrison is ordered to pay close attention to the situation in Liaodong. If Tuotuo Buhua invades Liaodong, he will report it immediately. In addition, Cao Yi, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, is ordered to take advantage of him if there is a war. Kill him first and report later. But there is one thing. You are not allowed to abandon the city and flee."
Cheng Jing took the order and came down.
Zhu Qiyu looked into the distance and sighed softly in his heart.
If the bet fails, the eight thousand officers and soldiers in Liaodong, plus the lives of Wang Wen and others, will be the price!
…………
The atmosphere in the large tent was a bit stagnant.
Neither party spoke, but the fact that the knives on Wang and Wen's necks were removed was an obvious sign.
It was impossible for Tuo Tuo Bu Hua to believe that it was really the Emperor of Ming Dynasty who had guessed his next specific route based on blindness alone.
Then there are only two possibilities left.
Either the military information was leaked, and Ming had some tricks to sneak into Ye Xian's side, and became a confidant among his confidants, so that he could get the most confidential military information.
Either...
It can only be that he deliberately revealed the news first, and really wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife!
Reason told Tuotuo Buhua not to take such a risk at this time.
But the facts are before us, and after eliminating all impossible options, the one that remains in the end is the answer.
After stopping for half a stick of incense, Wang Wen just spoke softly.
"Khan, I think we can talk about peace talks now?"
The human heart cannot stand scrutiny.
Tuotuo Buhua and Ye Xian have been fighting for so many years, and they will subconsciously think the worst when it comes to matters involving each other.
So even if his reason told him, he would not do it at first, but under Wang Wen's countless hints, his emotions would eventually make him believe it.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend!
At least for now, Oara and Tatar are in an alliance.
Although the conflict between Tuotuo Buhua and Yexian is deep, it is not deep enough for him to join forces with Daming to deal with Wala.
Ming Dynasty and Mongolia are the real enemies!
Once they joined forces with the Ming Dynasty, Oara and the Tatars fought fiercely, and the grasslands were full of wars. In the end, they were wiped out by the Ming Dynasty, which was not worth the gain.
It is impossible to tell which one is light and which is heavy.
Therefore, Wang Wen knew from the beginning that only by completely dismantling the alliance between Oara and Tatar could the peace talks truly begin.
Tuo Tuo Bu Hua could tolerate being arrogant and domineering, he could also tolerate being disrespectful to him, and he could even cooperate and attack the Ming Dynasty first even if he knew that he had designs on Khan's position first.
All this is because ambition is just ambition, and attempt is just attempt!
They didn't take action the first day, they were all in an alliance.
So what Wang Wen wants him to believe is that he has already taken action against him. This ambitious grand master has begun to turn his ambition into action.
This... is the basis for negotiation!
With a real threat to his own life, everything could be thrown out the window, not to mention that their alliance was already filled with seeds of doubt.
It only needs a little water and it will grow into a towering tree.
Looking at Wang Wen's calm and calm expression, Tuo Tuo Bu Hua finally nodded slightly and said.
"Set your terms! Ben Khan is not in a good mood and doesn't want to continue talking nonsense with you."
