Tumen Khan's mind changed and he thought to himself: Could it be that Han Naji wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife, so he can use my hand to get rid of Tuotuo?
But this thought just passed away in a flash, because it didn't make sense: there were 40,000 cavalrymen in Jigguang's headquarters, and the number of troops was more than ten times that of Tuotuo. There was also Daban Shengcheng and 100,000 Han'er in the city. As a foundation, and he himself is a bloodline of the Golden Family, no matter in terms of strength or reputation, he is far from comparable to Tuotuo. Is he worried about Tuotuo?
Tuotuo can help him at this time, and his stance is already clear. If he doesn't win over him well, it's a sign that he's out of his mind. If he still suppresses him with backhand, it must be that he has lost his mind! Even if that idiot named Borha Rabbit comes back to life, he can't be this stupid, can he?
Therefore, the speculation of killing someone with a borrowed knife is definitely not valid.
Then there is only one possibility. The move to separate Han Naji and Tuotuo was discussed before.
Tuotuo was extremely active yesterday and almost brought out the main tactics of the Mongolian cavalry. However, since his opponent was also a Mongolian cavalry and had an obvious advantage in strength, no matter how hard he tried, he could only do it in the end. Being forced to retreat, the result was that Han Naji turned around and left "seeing that the situation was not good", and Tuo Tuo had no choice but to flee with him.
If Burihatu did not analyze that their military strength has declined, then this move itself does not seem to be a big problem, because there is a hypothesis that may be true:
That is to say, Han Naji and Tuo Tuo, who were at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, decided to test the strength of their opponents first, and then decide whether to fight head-on. So they first sent Tuo Tuo to lead the elite to test the battle - this was possible, because Han Naji No one in the camp dares to say that he can fight better than Tuotuo, so it is the safest thing for Tuotuo to go out to fight and test his opponent's strength.
And with the ability to escape, even if you can't defeat him, you won't be unable to escape, which can ensure that your strength will not suffer a big loss.
However, due to Burihatu's previous discovery that Hannaji and Totuo's troops had been reduced by part, this possibility was reduced a lot, because the first one became the other two:
First, where are the guards of the Great Khan headed by Zhongjin Hatun? Second, what was the purpose of Han Naji and Tuo Tuo escaping south unhurriedly?
Tumen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "In other words, Chechen Khan's escort was sent in advance to set up an ambush somewhere in the south, so that Han Naji and Tuotuo are just baits now?"
Burihatu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Yes, I think this is the most reasonable guess."
Tumen nodded slightly, thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "But Ben Khan remembers that the number of Chechen Khan's escorts was not very large. It seemed that there were only more than 20,000 troops in the past, less than 30,000, right? What about Han?" Jihe Totuo now has more than 30,000 people at hand. Even if the Great Khan's escort army has 20,000 people setting up an ambush somewhere in the south, his total force does not exceed 60,000. Why does he think that he can win surely by luring Ben Khan to the south? Already?"
Burihatu shook his head and said: "Perhaps they don't necessarily think that they need to 'guaranteed victory'. Great Khan, as for Bhan Naji, he does not necessarily have to defeat the Great Khan. As long as the Great Khan can retreat - even if it is a defeat, To retreat is to force him to retreat, or to delay it until the Khan has no choice but to retreat - both are victories for him."
Oh, yes, Han Naji just wants to be Tumote Chechen Khan. As long as he retreats, no one can compete with him for his status, but he does not necessarily have to defeat himself.
"So, to lure Ben Khan south and lie in ambush, let Ben Khan suffer a small loss, and then return to Chahanhot, is this Han Naji's plan?" Tumen narrowed his eyes and asked.
"It is possible, but it does not rule out that he hopes to lead the Great Khan into an ambush and severely injure or even defeat the Great Khan. In this case, even if he does not dare to do anything to the Great Khan, at least he can establish his prestige. So what I mean Yes, Han Naji’s most basic expectation is to force the Great Khan to retreat, and if there can be greater results, he will certainly not refuse.”
"Hmph! That's a good idea." Tumen Khan sneered, thought for a moment, and said, "Although I'm not afraid of him setting up an ambush, I won't let him have any chance to succeed!"
Burihatu's eyes flashed and he asked: "Isn't the Great Khan planning to go south?"
Tumen Khan hummed and smiled, and said: "I won't go, Ben Khan plans to change places to play now."
Burihatu asked: "Does the Great Khan want to be naturalized or promoted?"
Tumen Khan was slightly startled and asked, "Why two places?"
It turns out that his meaning is very simple. Since there is a possibility of encountering an ambush when going south, let's not go south and continue the westward expedition to capture Guihua City. Guihua City is the Khan's and Royal Court of Tumote. Winning Guihua is not only a good reputation, but also means that you can control Zhongjin Hatun, and at the same time, you can also get the remains of An Da - currently in the big city. Call the temple.
With the remains of Zhongjin Hatun and Ada, and the fact that he is the Great Khan of all Mongolia, it seems reasonable to declare Xin Ai to succeed Chechen Khan. At that time, Zhongjin Hatun and the other Taijis could only surrender one after another. Under this situation, the power of Han Naji and Tuotuo declined.
Tumen even thought further at once: If it really reaches this level, maybe we can negotiate with Bahannaji and grant him the title of Tumote Jinong (Tumote Deputy Khan). This would be even more beneficial. ——Although Xin Ai has the name of Great Khan, his strength is greatly damaged. If he wants to maintain the situation, he must rely on his own support; while Han Naji's strength is not greatly lost, but he cannot defeat Chechen Khan. The name and the love that I support.
As a result, the entire Tumut has formed a delicate balance. Both sides must act according to their own faces in order to maintain their identity and strength. As a result, the influence of the Han people on them will naturally decline, and there is still hope for the revitalization of the Great Mongolia!
But Burihatu had just mentioned Daban Shengcheng, which made Tumen Khan understand that Burihatu must have another idea.
This guy is a talent, but I should ask him what he thinks.
So Tumen Khan continued to add with a smile: "Isn't it better to leave the ones that are closer to naturalization and not take them, and instead take the big plank to raise the city?"
Burihatu smiled slightly and said, "That depends on the Great Khan's ambition."
Tumen Khan was stunned for a moment and frowned: "What do you mean by this?"
Burihatu said calmly: "If the Great Khan just hopes that Tumut can settle down and not make trouble for the Great Khan, then it doesn't matter whether he can win or not. But if the Great Khan has greater expectations, for example... …To unify Mongolia, it is better to fight for naturalization than to fight for promotion first.”
Tumen Dahan gasped in his heart and asked calmly: "Why do you say that?"
Burihatu smiled slightly and said calmly: "Securing Guihua, taking control of Zhongjin Hatun, and letting my Echige succeed Chechen Khan can indeed balance the unbalanced balance of power in Tumut. In the future, Chechen Khan and Dacheng, Tai and Ji are hostile to each other, and no one has the energy to cause trouble for the Great Khan, but there is only so much that the Great Khan can do."
Tumen Khan remained silent, waiting for him to explain the benefits of using a big plan to rise to the city.
Sure enough, Burihatu continued: "But it is different to win the big board to the city. The big board to the city is the foundation of Han Naji. As long as the big board is taken down by the Khan, the foundation of Han Naji will be If everything is lost, even the existing tribe may not be able to support him. Although Akito has the ability to support him, but without the big plan to rise to the city, whether Hannaji is still worthy of Akito's support depends on what Akito thinks. .
If Chechen Khan expresses to the Ming Dynasty that as long as the Ming Dynasty supports him to unify Tumote, he will open up mutual markets, otherwise it will return to the situation where the two sides came and went to harass each other more than ten years ago. I think the Ming Dynasty will definitely The pros and cons will be carefully considered. "
Oh...there is another idea.
Tumen Khan couldn't help but take another high look at Burihatu. His idea can be said to be to use the sharp weapons of the Ming Dynasty to deal with the Ming Dynasty. It is the true "repay the other side with the way of the other side" - mutual trade against the nature of Mongolia It is important, but it is also of great benefit to Akito. Even if we don't talk about the economic benefits, just saying that mutual trading has ended the war between the two sides, Akito must consider it carefully.
After Tumut formed the confrontation between the left and right sentinels that he had just imagined, as long as Chechen Khan refused to trade with each other and would harass him at every turn, the Ming people would definitely be unbearable. At that time, he would ask the Ming people to support him in unifying Tumut. Merter's plan to resume all mutual markets is certain that Akira will not reject it.
But, what does this have to do with unifying Mongolia? Isn't this a wedding dress for Xin Ai?
