PS: Thanks to book friend Cao Gen Dang Cai Cai for the tip.
In the largest yurt in the Mongolian camp, Bu Shitu and all the Mongolian tribesmen who came to Qingcheng this time were all gathered inside.
"Old Taiji, can your method really make the Tiger Flag people withdraw from Qingcheng?" Bu Shitu frowned slightly and said to Kankantada who was sitting at the bottom.
Kankantada stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Khan. Now that our army has surrounded Qingcheng, Liu Heng's son will definitely be panic-stricken. Once he withdraws from Qingcheng with the soldiers and horses with the tiger flag, this battle will be ruined." The overall situation has been decided."
"I hope Liu Heng will take the initiative to abandon the city as Lao Taiji said." Bu Shitu said with expectation.
Harbala on the other side smiled and said: "Even if Lao Taiji's method fails, we will not lose anything. But once it succeeds, we will not only be able to bring back Ombuhong, but also avoid the disadvantages of our Mongolian siege. On the contrary, the cavalry's greatest advantage can be brought into play in the wild, defeating the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag in one fell swoop."
"In that case, let's wait for the people sent to Qingcheng to come back and see if they can bring back good news." Bu Shitu nodded slightly.
Kankantada said confidently: "Don't worry, Khan, as long as we superficially agree that the land south of the Dahei River belongs to the Tiger Flag, Liu Heng's son will be willing to leave Qingcheng."
"Tiger Character Banner is just a business name from the Ming Dynasty. Now that they have the opportunity to gain hundreds of miles of grassland for free, it is enough to make them tempted." Burigude interjected from the side.
Kankantada saw that several big Taijis present supported Kankantada, which made him feel uneasy and began to look favorably on the results of sending people to Qingcheng this time.
With the arrival of reinforcements from the Mobei tribe, Taiji from various tribes began to discuss in Bu Shitu's yurt how to make the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Character Banner withdraw from Qingcheng.
The Mongols are not good at attacking cities, and the Tiger-Character Banner has powerful cannons to defend the city, making it more difficult to attack the city. Therefore, all the ministries feel that they should lure the Tiger-Character Banner out of Qingcheng and use the Mongolians' good cavalry combat to deal with the Tiger-Character Banner. of infantry.
After some discussion, it was decided to send an envoy to Qingcheng.
This time, the number of Mongolian troops gathered near Qingcheng was nearly double that of the previous year, and all the Mongolian ministries on the right wing sent a large number of string control soldiers.
The number of the Mongolian army that came to Qingcheng far exceeded that of the Tiger-Character Banner army. The various tribes, including Bu Shitu, were confident in defeating the Tiger-Character Banner army.
The biggest disadvantage of the Tiger Banner is the limited number of cavalry, but this is the biggest advantage of the Mongols, and it is also the advantage that makes the Mongols invincible.
For the Mongols like them, even if they are defeated by the Tiger Flag, they can still escape with the army. It is difficult for the infantry to catch up. If the Tiger Flag army is defeated, that will be the end of destruction.
After the discussion was over, the tribesmen returned to the yurts where their tribes were located.
Su Nang has been living at Kankantada's place, and when he came out of Boshitu's yurt, he naturally left with Kankantada.
Kankantada is one of Shitu's most trusted places. The camp is not far from where Shitu camped, and it is also a place with rich water and grass.
The two people rode on the horses brought by the guards and urged the horses to walk in small steps among the yurts.
"I'm not optimistic about your method. People in the Tiger Flag can't be fooled." Su Nang on horseback said.
He knew the proprietor of the Tiger Flag better than many people in Tumut. Ever since he was released by the people of the Tiger Flag and asked him to kill the fortune-telling rabbit, he understood that the target of the Tiger Flag could not be Those hundreds of miles of grassland, but the entire Tumut grassland.
Kankantada's body rose and fell slightly as the horse moved. When he heard Su Nang's words, he immediately laughed and said: "The proprietor of the tiger-character flag is just a little kid with a yellow mouth who has not done anything yet. He can earn hundreds of dollars in white." There is no reason to be dissatisfied with the land here."
"I still think you are thinking too simplistically." Su Nang frowned and said, "Qingcheng has fallen into the hands of the Tiger Character Banner, how could they let it out so easily? I think we should prepare more attacks. When it comes to city equipment, most of the time we try to find solutions for the broken city."
Kankantada said in a calm tone: "The people sent to Qingcheng should have arrived in Qingcheng by now. The news will be sent back tomorrow at the latest, and it will only take one night at most. It won't delay anything."
Seeing Kankantada say this, Su Nang, who was riding forward, couldn't say anything else, so he just kept silent.
Chen Xunping, who was guarding the camp outside Qingcheng, asked the captured Mongolians clearly about their intentions and arranged for them to be sent to Qingcheng.
Several Mongolians were arrested and taken into the camp of Tiger Flag. All their weapons were taken away, and even their bodies were tied up with ropes.
Until they entered Qingcheng and were taken to Liu Heng's office, the ropes on their bodies were not untied.
"Is this how your Tiger Character Banner treats its envoys?" Seeing Liu Heng, one of the tied Mongolians said sarcastically.
Several Mongolians were standing in the office. Liu Heng was sitting behind a desk with his hands on the table. He looked at the Mongolian who was speaking in front of him and said, "My people said you are here for peace talks?"
"This is not a peace talk." The Mongolian said with a pair of round eyes. "You Tiger Flag must release Omubuhong and withdraw from Qingcheng. My Great Khan will be merciful and let you leave. Otherwise, as soon as my Mongolian army arrives, That’s when you will turn into ashes.”
After hearing this, Liu Heng smiled lightly and said: "Since you are not here for peace talks, you guys should be spies sent by Bu Shitu. As for the spies, our Tiger Character Banner has always come to execute one by one. Come here people!"
Two soldiers walked in outside the door.
Liu Heng pointed at the Mongolians in front of him and said, "Take them out and execute them!"
"yes."
The soldiers who had just entered the room agreed and reached out to catch the Mongolians.
Several Mongolians tried their best to avoid it, and the Mongolian who spoke earlier hurriedly shouted: "It's a peace talk, it's a peace talk, we are here for peace talks."
"I thought Mongolians were not afraid of death, but it seems they are just as afraid of death." Li Shuheng on the side smiled contemptuously.
Several Mongolians looked blushing.
Partly angry, partly ashamed.
Because they were afraid of death, they begged for mercy in front of the Han people, which made them feel that they had lost the spirit of prairie warriors.
Liu Heng waved his hands towards the two soldiers.
The two soldiers released a few Mongolians and retreated to the side.
"Since you are here for peace talks, let's talk about the conditions for peace talks!" Liu Heng said to the Mongolian who seemed to be the leader.
The Mongolian said: "It's very simple. Our Great Khan can let you people in the Tiger Banner leave safely, but you must let Ombuhong go and withdraw from Qingcheng."
