"I said brothers, do you want to take a bet and see what Tumut will choose?"
"Needless to say, I think as long as they are not stupid, they will definitely help us!"
"That's not good. With their unruly attitude, they might just be fishing in troubled waters!"
"Yes, let's not say whether united with Chahar can defeat us. Even if they temporarily resist us, they will eventually be annexed by Chahar. Bu Shitu Khan can sit firmly for so many years as the Great Khan of the Tumote Department. I’m sure I can figure it out!”
"General, what do you think the Tumut Department will choose?"
Listening to his subordinates asking themselves, Hei Mingxiao looked at the camp of the Tumote tribe in the distance, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and said meaningfully: "I hope they fish in troubled waters!"
"General, are you okay with what you said?"
Listening to Hei Mingxiao's words, all the subordinates were a little stunned.
"You will naturally understand in the future. Let's go and meet the envoys from Guihua City!"
After Hei Mingxiao finished speaking, he got on his horse and galloped away into the distance.
At this moment, in the Shunyi Palace in Guihua City, the sound of pipa, huqin, zheng and other musical instruments could be heard. Through the windows, one could see a large-scale inverted la dance being performed in the palace.
Soft hands, shaking shoulders, shuffling steps... show the dignity, passion, femininity and boldness of women to the fullest.
In the hall, there were wild laughter, the sound of urging people to drink, the clinking of gold and silver wine glasses, and the exchange of drinks.
But the next moment, the palace door was suddenly violently knocked open, and the sound of musical instruments stopped abruptly!
A figure rushed into the hall, and the dancers scattered in shock!
"Report... to the Great Khan, urgent military situation!"
"Great Khan, there are tens of thousands of troops from the Ming Dynasty heading towards Guihua City from Datong. As of the time of discovery, they were 150 miles away from Guihua City. Now it is estimated to be only more than a hundred miles away. A rough estimate is between 60,000 and 80,000 people!"
With one sentence, the tribal leaders who were still a little tipsy were startled, and their alcoholism disappeared instantly.
After looking at each other, they burst out laughing with disdain on their faces!
"Is Ming crazy? How dare you send troops to attack us?"
"Did I hear you correctly? This is the grassland, our home field. Don't they know we have tens of thousands of cavalry?"
"Haha, in my opinion, they swelled up after besieging and killing tens of thousands of Jiannu coalition troops at Longjing Pass, and thought they were good again!"
"Great Khan, please give me 20,000 elites, and I will slaughter them!"
"Report... to the Great Khan, urgent military information. Tens of thousands of Ming troops are coming from the direction of Xuanfu. It is estimated to be only a hundred miles away now. A rough estimate is that there are at least a hundred thousand troops!"
Another figure rushed into the hall. Before he could stand still, he immediately reported the military situation!
This time, everyone in the hall instantly shut up, stood up, and their expressions became serious.
For more than half a year, they lived a quite comfortable life, plundering surrounding small tribes and caravans, and harvested a lot of money.
All this was due to the Ming Dynasty. In the battle of Longjingguan, tens of thousands of Jiannu troops were besieged and killed, so that they no longer had to worry about Jiannu chasing after them, and they no longer feared Jiannu in two or three years!
Sooner or later, they will have a battle with Ming Dynasty, maybe one or two years later, but they didn't expect it to be so soon!
The two parties combined have at least 180,000 troops. This is not a small number. Even if they have tens of thousands of cavalry, they must be treated with caution!
"Are there any cavalry?"
"Great Khan, there are more than 5,000 cavalry in the direction of Datong!"
"Great Khan, there are more than ten thousand people riding in the direction of Xuanfu!"
"Basically, you immediately go and keep an eye on the movements of the two armies in person and report back at any time!"
When his name was called by Lin Danhan, he left immediately. Lin Danhan looked at everyone in the hall coldly: "Tell me what you think!"
"Great Khan, it's obvious that this is revenge for us plundering the towns of Datong and Xuanfu last year when they were besieging the slave-building coalition forces!"
"Great Khan, the top priority is to quickly gather the tribal armies scattered around and be ready to attack at any time!"
"Report...the Ming army has sent a letter!"
Before the analysis was completed, another figure rushed into the hall, dragging a letter with both hands!
The waiter next to Lin Danhan immediately stepped forward to open the letter and presented it to Lin Danhan. Within a moment, Lin Danhan's face darkened and his eyes were filled with cold light.
"Read it to everyone!"
The waiter immediately said: "At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was in chaos, heroes were vying for the throne, and Taizu rose to the top... I urge you to wait..."
"presumptuous!"
"Asshole!"
…
As soon as the waiter finished reading, all the tribal leaders in the hall were furious.
This is a letter of persuasion to surrender. The general meaning is that Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, overthrew the Yuan court and drove them back to the grassland, etc.
This is a naked humiliation, a slap in the face, and a provocation!
"Report... Letters to the Ming Dynasty!"
…
"Report... Letters to the Ming Dynasty!"
…
One letter in half an hour, twelve letters in succession, each with different content.
Some write about their history of humiliation, while others talk about Lin Dan Khan’s cruelty, plunder, and political incompetence.
Some tried to persuade several of the tribal leaders to surrender, saying that they knew they were forced by Lin Dan Khan and that as long as they surrendered, they could forget about it!
Others directly stated their plans to join forces with Mongolia from the Desert, the remnants of Tumote, etc. to surround and kill Chahar.
The last letter only contained ten words: Surrender without killing, resist the genocide and genocide!
Twelve letters of persuasion to surrender, including counter-intentional schemes, psychological schemes, distant friendships and close attacks, making things out of nothing, and other schemes one after another, all false and true, true and false, made everyone in the palace panic.
Especially the tribal leaders mentioned in the letter who had been persuaded to surrender by the Ming Dynasty were even more frightened, fearing that the furious Lin Dan Khan would kill them directly.
At this moment, everyone in the hall was extremely angry, breathing rapidly, and their eyes flashed fiercely!
Lin Danhan said with a gloomy face: "Don't disturb the morale of the army. I absolutely believe in you. Tell me, is this Ming Dynasty bluffing, or is it really true?"
"I thought it was half and half!"
The person who spoke out was Sankarzhai, the leader of the Aru tribe and Chahar's current military advisor.
"Great Khan, Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, made five expeditions to Mobei. The second time he sent 500,000 troops to meet the main force of the 30,000-watt army, but the numerical advantage was not highlighted.
Although they won, they also lost tens of thousands of people. After that, they attacked several times without much gain.
Although the power of the Ming Dynasty has recovered somewhat, it is still far from what it was during the Chengzu period of the Ming Dynasty, and the number of the army is less than half!
And our strength and the number of cavalry are far greater than the Oara army at that time. Facing more than 100,000 Ming troops, and there are not many cavalry, we have an advantage.
What's more, if we can't win, we can still run. How can the infantry catch up with the cavalry? We have the home field advantage. They can't stay in the grassland for long. We will come back when they retreat! "
"No, you have said so much, can you go directly to the point? Why are bluffs and confidence different..."
Before Hochit leader Buck could finish speaking, he was stared back by Lin Danhan's cold eyes.
The rest of the people also trembled, knowing that Dahan was completely angry at this moment.
