Some Kipchak generals in the room kept scolding Ye Mingsheng and the Fengwu Army, clamoring to kill all the incoming Fengwu Army, cut off all their heads and build them into landscapes on the grassland, and even worse. There is also a rush to Luo'an, snatching women and all wealth...Although these middle-level Kipchak generals are not aware of the current situation They are very optimistic and have strong confidence in defeating the Fengwu Army and winning this war. However, the dignitaries who really decide the fate of the Kipchak Khanate all have serious expressions!
Whether facing the Fengwu Army or the Luobei people, these Kipchak dignitaries are not worried. However, if it is one against two, the dignitaries are still very worried!
After all, a Fengwu army is difficult enough to deal with. It is difficult to say who will win and who will lose in a battle between the two armies. If the Luobei people are still causing trouble behind the scenes at this time, it will be too difficult for the Kipchaks to win, and even There may be genocide!
Thinking of this, there are also sensible Kipchak dignitaries who feel that at this time, they should temporarily avoid the Fengwu Army and not confront the Fengwu Army head-on.
But looking at the gloomy face of the Great Khan Estogan, they all kept their mouths shut. After all, the Great Khan had just announced at the Jincheng Festival a few days ago that he had retaken the Astai region from the Great Zhou.
If he offered to give up Jincheng at this time, wouldn't that be equivalent to actively slapping Dahan? After pondering for a while, many of the Kipchak dignitaries remained silent. Estogan took the initiative to look at Asu and Bahat, the two most prestigious nobles in the Khanate... ····················Feeling Estogan’s gaze, although both of them were dissatisfied with Estogan’s decision to go south to intervene in the Great Zhou Civil War, they were already It was time to decide the future and fate of the Khanate, so the two exchanged glances and decided to put the overall situation first. Asu immediately stood up and said: "The Luoan court of the Zhou people has been defeated by the Fengwu army. This leaves Ming Sheng also led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to the west, making it clear that he was here to deal with the Khanate!"
"This battle between us and the Fengwu Army is inevitable. For the safety of the Khanate, we must defeat the Fengwu Army and defeat Ye Mingsheng, the Zhou general!" Hearing what Asu said, Esdoan, although there was nothing on the surface, , but the big stone in his heart has fallen. At present, the external situation of the Kipchak Khanate is grim. What Asdogan is most worried about is that the internal discord within the Khanate is not unified, especially the two old guys Asu and Bahat. !
These two people themselves strongly disapproved of those going south to interfere in the Great Zhou Civil War, and wanted to get rid of the Luobei people in the east first and completely unify the grassland.
So if Asu and Bahat attack this great Khan at this time, then the next situation will undoubtedly be more difficult!
But fortunately, these two old guys still have some perspective on the overall situation. They know that if there is still internal fighting within the Khanate at this time, the Khanate may really be doomed... ···········After Asu finished speaking, another great nobleman, Bahat, stood up and preached to Esdogan: "I think the most important thing for today's plan is, We should stabilize the Luobei people and prevent them from joining forces with the Fengwu Army to deal with us!" As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room looked at each other. They, the Kipchaks and the Luobei people, were enemies of life and death. The blood-sweat and blood-sweat feud between them could not be finished even if it lasted only one day and one night.
What's more, not long ago, the Kipchak Khanate took away the Western Elonqen Grassland from Luo Bei. The Luo Bei people dreamed of taking back the Western Elounqen Grassland!
Now that the time to retake the Elonqen Grassland is right in front of us, how can it be possible for the Luobi people not to give up? At this time, a general named Asti Khan stood up and asked Bahat the questions in his heart.
"Will the Luobei people choose to give up?" Faced with Astihan's inquiry, Bahat kicked the ball back to Astogan's feet and said in a deep voice: "Great Khan, I heard that Luobei has newly elected Jamukha, the Great Khan, wrote you a letter when he ascended the throne?" After hearing this, Esdogan also understood what Bahat meant, and immediately nodded and said: "Jamukha is for you. I wrote a letter, hoping to get rid of the control of the Fengwu Army and negotiate peace with the Khanate!" After receiving this answer, Bahat also continued: "In my opinion, Jamuka is also a tiger and wolf. Although he relies on Only with the support of the Fengwu Army was he able to ascend to the throne and become the Great Khan of Luobei, but he was unwilling to obey the orders of the Fengwu Army and surrendered to Ye Mingsheng, becoming Ye Mingsheng's dog... ·····················”
"He understands that the reason why the Fengwu Army supports him is just to check and balance the Khanate. Once the Khanate declines, they and the Fengwu Army will become enemies again, and the Fengwu Army will attack them mercilessly, so Jamuka is very wary of the Fengwu Army!"
"In the words of Zhou people, the relationship between us and the Luobi people is like a bitter relationship. As long as we show affection and reason, we can make the Luobi people help each other!" Bahat's words immediately caused discussion in the room. One after another, although everyone still felt that it was a bit unrevealing, they felt that what Bachat said seemed to make some sense.
The general named Asti Khan continued to stand up and said angrily: "Master Bahat, the Luobei people have always coveted our Western Elonqen grassland, and they have been harassing the border during this period. Thinking about taking back the grassland from the Khanate, I feel that just a few words cannot dispel the ambition of the Luobi people!" Regarding Astihan's words, Bahat did not deny it, but kicked the ball to Ace again. Doan stood at his feet and said: "It depends on the decision of the Great Khan!" As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little confused. They didn't know what Bahat wanted Estogan to decide. Only Estoan knew very well that Bahat What did Hart mean by this? He couldn't help but look deeply at Bahat, while Bahat was stroking his chest and bowing without making any eye contact with Estogan... ····················艾斯多安原本还很欣慰，以为这两个老家伙终于能有一些大局观，但是没想到这两个老家伙But she is waiting for him here!
What does he want to decide for himself? Of course, some territory was ceded to the Luobi people. If the territory was not ceded, how could it be possible to dissuade the Luobi people from their ambitions?
Thinking of this, Esdoan suddenly felt humiliated. Leading the Khanate to capture the Western Elonqen Grassland has always been his proudest achievement!
Of course he was unwilling to cede the fertile land of the Western Elonqen Grassland, and he also ceded it to the Luobi people, a feudal people, which made him find it even more unacceptable!
But if you don't accept this, then the Khanate will face a situation of fighting on two fronts and being attacked from both sides!
Although he hates the Fengwu Army very much, Esdogan knows very well intellectually that the Fengwu Army can quickly defeat the Luoan Court, an old opponent of the Kipchak Khanate, and its combat effectiveness can be said to be very powerful!
Moreover, the Fengwu Army used all their strength in this battle. Not only did Ye Mingsheng go out personally, the Fengwu Army also dispatched nearly 200,000 troops!
Therefore, it can be said that it is very unrealistic to quickly defeat the Fengwu Army! And once the two sides cannot tell the winner for a short period of time, the Luobi people will become a force that determines the outcome!
Realizing this, although Esdogan found it difficult to accept it emotionally, his reason told him that as a Kipchak Khan, he should make the right choice... ········After thinking for a moment, Estogan still couldn't make this decision, and said in a deep voice to Bahat: "Let's discuss this matter later!" Regarding Estogan's decision It was also expected by Bahat. After all, once this decision was made, there would be overwhelming opposition and doubts within the Khanate.
Bahat himself did not even have the courage and courage to speak out, so he returned to the queue without saying anything more.
After adjusting his emotions, Esdogan ordered Astihan on the side again: "Please introduce the marching speed of the Fengwu Army!" Astihan on the side also stood up and introduced: "According to current intelligence, the Fengwu Army under Ye Mingsheng has arrived in Jinzhong. They are not moving very fast! They only walked about fifty miles in one day, and it is said that Ye Mingsheng also brought his concubine and children with him on this trip , traveling around the mountains and rivers to examine the people’s sentiments!”
"Based on the current speed of Ye Mingsheng's troops, I estimate that it will take them about seven days to reach Jinyang, and fifteen to twenty days to reach Guanzhong!" After hearing this, Esdoan seemed to realize something. Immediately, he asked Asti Khan: "Except the more than 30,000 people led by Ye Mingsheng, how many troops and horses does the Fengwu Army have in Yunbin?" After hearing this, Asti Khan thought for a moment and said: " There seems to be cavalry from the Third Division of the Fengwu Army..."······················ ··························While Esdogan was discussing matters with many powerful people of Qinchao, in the royal court of Luo Bei, Zamu He is welcoming guests who he thinks are from the south.
Looking at the fat middle-aged man walking in front of him, Jamuka, the great Khan of Luobei, had a warm smile on his face and opened his arms and said: "High Commissioner, my friend! I am so happy to see you!" "Looking at the enthusiastic Jamukha, Gao Shen, the senior commissioner for grassland affairs of the Fengwu Military Foreign Affairs Bureau, had a hint of indifference in the depths of his eyes, but an equally enthusiastic smile appeared on his face, and he hugged Jamukha. Then he smiled and said: "Zamukh Khan, I miss you too. I came over to see you as soon as we made a decision!" Jamukha heard this and said with a smile: "High Commissioner, I know you must You brought me good news!”
"But you have been traveling all the way and you look a lot thinner than last time. I want to treat you well. I have prepared the best kumis and the most delicious roasted whole lamb for you. Let's enjoy it together!" Following Jamukha's words, the banquet for Gao Shen also officially opened. Gao Shen, whose face was glowing amid the girl's singing, stood up, raised his wine glass and saluted Jamukha who was sitting at the head of the table: "Jamukha Khan, I offer you this glass of wine. ! Thank you for the hospitality you gave me this time!" Jamuka said with a smile after hearing this: "High Commissioner, you are too polite. You are our distinguished guest in Luobei, so we naturally have to treat you with the highest etiquette... ··················”
"Let me lend you this glass of wine and wish us the best of friendship between our Luo Bei and your Fengwu Army! May our friendship last forever!"
"May our friendship last forever!" At Jamuka's suggestion, everyone drank the glass of wine. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Gao Shen saw that Jamuka never mentioned anything serious and took the initiative to say, "Poor sweat, This time, our commander-in-chief has decided to give all his support to your ministry to regain the homeland of the Western Elonqen Grassland!" Hearing what Gao Shen said, Jamukha smiled and said: "High Commissioner, thank Marshal Ye for this! Thank you for his words. Good intentions and support for our Luo Bei!"
"But the Kipchak Khanate has several eagle masters on the western Elonqen grassland. We, Luo Bei, may not be able to do it now!" Gao Shen sneered in his heart after hearing this. Knowing that Jamuka's fox tail was finally exposed, he immediately spoke. He preached: "This time, Marshal Ye, we are ready to support Luo Bei with a thousand muskets, a thousand mighty muskets, thirty tiger cannons, five thousand kilograms of gunpowder, five thousand kilograms of pig iron, and a thousand pairs of cotton armor. !”
"In addition to the above-mentioned ordnance, we are also prepared to support your ministry with 5,000 shi of grain, 3,000 pieces of cloth, 5,000 jin of salt, 500 pieces of silk, and 5,000 pieces of ceramics... ·······" Hearing this, Jamukha didn't say anything. He just picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Immediately after seeing this, General Luo Bei stood up and said coldly: "High Commissioner, do you think we are Luo Bei?" Are you a rag collector? Are you kidding us, Luo Bei, with these three melons and two dates every day?" As soon as these words came out, the originally enthusiastic atmosphere of the banquet immediately dropped to freezing point. Gao Shen also slowly stopped his smile and said: " If we have other ideas about the specific amount, we can still make adjustments!"
"But I'm afraid there's no need to talk about three melons and two dates. These things contain the sincerity of our Fengwu Army. I hope you, Jamuhe Khan, can consider it carefully!" After hearing this, Jamuhe continued to drink wine calmly. Seeing this General Luo Bei immediately spoke again and said, "You are so sincere to the military! That man named Ye wants us to work for him with this little thing?"
"Who doesn't know that your Fengwu army is attacking Yongliang now? If you want us Luobi people to cooperate with your attack, go back and let that man named Ye show more sincerity!" Gao Shen's expression changed when he heard this person say this. He also became completely cold, stood up and said to Jamuhe:
"Since you, the Great Khan, don't like these things, forget it. Anyway, no one wants the things from our Fengwu Army. General Nurjiang and Solon's Ministry have already prepared them... ········”
"Jamukh Khan, farewell!"
