Nurjiang felt that by joining forces with Yinbugele, he had the upper hand in troops and horses and felt that he could defeat Jamuka. However, Jamuka felt that although he was at a disadvantage in terms of the number of troops and horses, his troops and horses were more capable. Even if Nurjiang and Yin Bugler teamed up, he would still do it without any false feelings...
To be honest, Ye Mingsheng was somewhat troubled by the attitude of both sides. He knew that it would be difficult to get both sides to stop the war.
According to the information sent by the Foreign Affairs Bureau, after knowing that he would meet at Pingshanquan in Ulan Grassland on August 31st, Nurjiang directly stated that he would arrive early and intended to directly arrive on August 25th. Come to Jinzhong to meet Ye Mingsheng!
In order to win over the Fengwu Army, Nuerjiang has always been very submissive to the Fengwu Army. There is no doubt that he has only one purpose in wanting to meet Ye Mingsheng in advance, and that is to try to win the support of the Fengwu Army. Come and fight Jamuka.
Ye Mingsheng knew very well that in order to win his support, Nuerjiang would agree to all his conditions. He just wanted him to be his filial son. Nuerjiang probably wouldn't hesitate at all and just knelt down and called him father!
But does this make sense?
Ye Mingsheng had dealt with these prairie barbarians too much, and he knew very well the ambitions of these people. Before Jamukha became the Great Khan, in order to win the support of the Fengwu Army, he behaved as submissively as Nurjiang today. ··························
But what is the result now? After becoming the Great Khan, Jamukha didn't even have any plans for Xu Xu. He simply wanted to be the master of his own country and get rid of the control of Fengwu Army!
Ye Mingsheng himself didn't trust these prairie barbarians very much. Now that Jamuka had learned from the past, Ye Mingsheng's trust in them had dropped a lot!
Therefore, no matter what kind of promises Nurjiang makes, Ye Mingsheng will not believe his words. Ye Mingsheng's ultimate goal is to maintain the existing political balance!
Only now, when multiple forces coexist and no one can do anything to anyone, can the Fengwu Army have the opportunity to interfere with the direction of Luobei's internal affairs!
Now it would be easier if Nuerjiang wanted to fight alone. After all, Nuerjiang needs the support of Yinbugele to defeat Jamukha. The strength of his family alone cannot defeat Jamukha, and Yinbugele Le doesn’t really want to fight at the moment!
So as long as Yin Bugele doesn't support him, Nurjiang will definitely shut down and there will be no more thoughts of fighting!
But it is a pity that now not only Nurjiang wants to fight, Jamukha also wants to fight in order to get rid of the control of the Fengwu Army and completely get rid of the constraints of Nurjiang and Yin Bugler, and his The war is more determined than Nurjiang!
So in order to avoid this war, Ye Mingsheng must make Jamukha realize that if he is determined to start a war, he will use blood and fire to solve the problem!
Then instead of realizing his wish, he will be pushed into the abyss of destruction. The only thing he can get is failure... ·····
Just when Ye Mingsheng was silently planning all this in his heart, suddenly his attendant Ye Cheng came over and handed a secret letter to Ye Mingsheng and solemnly said:
"The Coordination Office secretly sent urgent information from the Kipchak Khanate!"
Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised when he heard this, and then quickly checked the contents of the secret letter. There was not much content in the secret letter, only a line written by Liao Liao. Esdogan sent a tiger master in batches for 18,000 in the name of hunting. Thousands of people were mobilized.
Although there were not many words in the secret letter, it made Ye Mingsheng fall into thinking.
Since the last disastrous defeat, the Kipchak Khanate has disappeared during this period. They usually harass around Yongliang, but since the last disastrous defeat, they have completely stayed away from the Yongliang area.
However, the Fengwu Army's main focus is still on unifying the Great Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, the Fengwu Army currently has neither the will nor the ability to travel long distances on the grassland to attack Laisa, the capital of the Kipchak Khanate!
So Ye Ming
Sheng even let the Kipchak Khanate go for the time being, but this time the disastrous defeat of the southward movement also caused huge turmoil within the Kipchak Khanate. The prestige of the Great Khan Esdogan also dropped to the lowest point. The nobles of the Chakhanate also held Estogan responsible for the defeat...
However, Estogan still relied on the strong combat effectiveness of his Tiger Division to defend his dignity as the Great Khan, and reached a consensus with Asu, another elder in the Kipchak Khanate, and could barely maintain the Kipchak Khanate. The internal stability of the country did not allow civil war to break out within the Kipchak Khanate!
Fortunately, at this time, the Luobei people were too busy to take care of themselves. They originally planned to take back the Western Elonqen Grassland, but now due to the internal tension, they have no time to take care of the Western Elonqen Grassland. Otherwise, the Kipchak Khanate may not be able to defend the lush water and grassland. Western Elonqen Grassland!
According to Ye Mingsheng's understanding, as a nomadic country, the Kipchak Khanate really likes hunting, and usually gathers soldiers and horses for large-scale hunting!
However, on the eve of his alliance, the Kipchak Khanate suddenly held a large-scale hunting, and mobilized a tiger division of 18,000 troops in batches. It was difficult not to make Ye Mingsheng think too much.
At this time, the attendant Ye Cheng also saw Ye Mingsheng's doubts and suggested to Ye Mingsheng:
"Commander, do you think we should order General Ye Dong's 9th Division and General Chen Chuanwu's 10th Division to speed up their arrival in Jinyang?"
After hearing the news, Ye Mingsheng also fell into thinking. This time he left Guo Zhiping and the Second Army in Guanzhong, while he led the Third Division, Fourth Division, and Ninth Division under the Third Army. , the 10th Division, the 13th Division, and the 14th Division returned to Yijing...
However, in order to join the alliance, Ye Mingsheng led the troops of the Third Army and the Guards Battalion to take the first step, while the following four divisions fell behind and dealt with various matters of moving the capital.
And now Ye Cheng's words are undoubtedly worried that Esdogan pretended to mobilize the army in the name of hunting. In fact, he wanted to raid the alliance. If this is the case, a tiger division with 18,000 troops from Qincha suddenly killed This is really no joke!
Regarding Ye Cheng's suggestion, Ye Mingsheng did not give a direct answer, but asked:
"What's going on in Jamukha and Nurjiang now?"
Facing Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Ye Cheng thought for a moment and said:
"It's still the same as before. According to Gao Shen's letter, it's still the same as before. Jamuka hasn't decided whether he wants to join the alliance!"
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng fell into thinking. Although it is not yet certain whether Estogan really wants to attack him, but assuming that Esdogan really does this, Ye Mingsheng feels that he will not do this alone. He will definitely find a helper to complete this matter together!
After all, he has the entire Third Army protecting him. Although a sneak attack by him alone can bring him trouble, it is still very difficult to kill him!
And Estogan also knew very well that as long as he couldn't kill him, he would be in trouble. The Kipchak Khanate, which had suffered a heavy defeat and was severely weakened, would find it difficult to bear his anger... ···············
Therefore, Ye Mingsheng felt that if he were Esdogan, he would definitely set up a dragnet to pursue a one-hit kill. So if he really thought so, then he would probably have a collaborator. Who is willing to kill him at the moment?
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng's eyes flashed with murderous intent. Although there was no conclusive evidence yet, his intuition told Ye Mingsheng that someone regarded him as prey!
After thinking for a while, Ye Mingsheng ordered:
"Let the Coordination Office pay special attention to the movements of Jamuka, Nurjiang, and Yinbugele, and report back immediately if there is any change among them!"
After saying that, Ye Mingsheng stood up and walked to the sand table. After carefully examining the sand table for a while, Ye Mingsheng focused his eyes on the two coordinates and immediately ordered to Ye Cheng:
"Let the Ninth Division take the Ganpaoling road and quietly move around Dali Lake. Let the Tenth Division take the Luershan road and move around Yanzigang. It will be completed within seven days!
"
Seeing Ye Mingsheng's deployment, Ye Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up and he said:
"Sir, do you want to take advantage of this?"
Ye Mingsheng said in a deep voice:
"The blood debt Estogan committed in Yunhe has not been paid off yet. I wanted to keep this guy last time, but he ran away too fast. If this guy dares to come again now, then I will never I won’t let him slip away from me anymore..."

East Island, Naniwa
A young man who looked like a down-and-out samurai came to the door of a restaurant called Zuiyue Izakaya. He carefully looked at the Black Moon logo on the signboard. The young man narrowed his eyes slightly, then straightened his clothes and walked into the izakaya. middle.
Because it is not a restaurant, there are not too many people in this izakaya at this time. There are only two or three tables. So when the young man walked in, the waiter in charge of welcoming guests came over immediately.
Under the greeting of the waiter, the young man came to a private room, and then the waiter asked with a smile on his face:
"Welcome, what do you like to eat? Our tempura and sushi are very famous in this street."
After looking around the environment in the store, the young man said calmly:
"I want a bowl of white rice, a secret yakiniku lantern, and some octopus tempura!"
Upon hearing the young man's request, the waiter was stunned for a moment and said:
"My guest, we have rice and octopus tempura, but we don't sell roasted birds, and we don't have any secret roasted bird lanterns?"
Regarding the waiter's answer, the young man continued without taking it seriously:
"Ask your boss, this is his specialty..."
As soon as these words came out, the waiter wanted to say something else, but unexpectedly, the young man snorted coldly and put one hand on the handle of the katana at his waist.
Seeing this, the waiter was a little scared and didn't dare to say anything. He immediately bowed and walked quickly to the kitchen.
After about half a stick of incense, I saw a somewhat rich middle-aged man walking over with a tray. He smiled and placed the octopus tempura, white rice and roasted bird that the young man wanted on the dining table. superior.
"This guest, this is the meal you want, please use it slowly!"
The young man nodded when he heard this and was about to start. At this moment, the middle-aged man smiled and said again:
"My name is Keijiro Ishihara, the owner of this izakaya. What do you call your guests?"
While eating rice, the young man preached somewhat unclearly:
"My name is Aoi Yuzuru!"
Keijiro Ishihara nodded with a smile and said:
"I haven't made roasted birds for many years. I don't know where did you know that our store has roasted birds?"
Yuzuru Aoi wiped his mouth, then faced Keijiro Ishihara and said:
"When I was a kid in my hometown of Changshu, I ate the secret roasted bird made by Ishihara's boss!"
Hearing this, Ishihara Keijiro was stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized and said loudly:
"So you are Yuzuru? I haven't seen you for so long, and you have grown so big..."
After saying this, Ishihara Keijiro took out half of the jade pendant from his arms. Seeing this, Aoi Yuzuru also took out half of the jade pendant seriously. The two of them put the jade pendants together and looked at the jade pendant pattern. There is no difference, both of them understand that the other is theirs.
"What's the mission on the summit?" Keijiro Ishihara asked in a deep voice, taking the lead in asking Yuzuru Aoi:
Yuzuru Aoi said in a deep voice:
"Do you have any information about Muto Masaaki?"
As soon as these words came out, Ishihara Keijiro was stunned for a moment and then asked seriously:
"One of the Five Elders, Muto Masaaki?"
Aoi Yuzuru did not answer, but nodded slightly under Ishihara's gaze.
Seeing this, Keijiro Ishihara thought for a while and said:
"Masayaki Muto is the most relied-upon minister of the new Taiko Toyotomi Hidetada, but he has always been reclusive and there is not much information about him!"
"But I have sent back a piece of information before. The Japanese country decided to invade Silla Baekje again and use it as a base to attack the palace. The person who implemented this strategy is probably Muto Zhenaki. He has been working with several daimyo recently. Talk about this!"
Yuzuru Aoi said in a deep voice:
"The command from the top requires you to do your best to collect information about Muto Masaaki, and provide me with a house and three hundred dollars!"
Hearing this request, Ishihara Keijiro swallowed his saliva, hesitated and asked:
"The amount is huge, I need some time! And may I know what you are planning to do?"
Yuzuru Aoi said coldly:
"It must be prepared within five days. As for the rest, it's not something you should know..."
