Chapter 943: Equalizer
The Right Khan was disturbed, and Alborot thought that this was another repetition of Sumer's old tricks, but to his surprise, this time it was really only the herdsmen who came to petition.
It's still chaotic, but it's the kind of chaos that is under control. No one started a riot, and no one attacked.
Under Doron's admonition, several of the old men who had been improvised came to Alborot and prostrated themselves with great respect, crying and begging not to block the trade, so that the tribesmen could exchange enough supplies for the winter.
It wasn't until a few old people were sent away that Alborot and the others couldn't believe it until they saw the herdsmen cheering and leaving.
"That's it? are they really just here to petition?" Doron muttered, looking incredulous.
"And what else do you have to do to be happy?" Alborot glanced at him angrily.
Duolun hurriedly waved his hand, "How could it be." Subordinates this is not ...... Ahem, isn't that to be vigilant...... Uh, by the way, Lord, do you really want to negotiate with that Su Mo? The Han people are cunning, so you have to guard against it. ”
Having just received the herdsmen, Alborot announced in public the purpose of his visit. Not only will it not hinder the transaction, but they also asked them to bring a message to the Datong Guan, hoping that the leaders of the two sides can meet face-to-face as soon as possible to negotiate on the matter of the city, so as to ensure the interests of the herdsmen.
In order to show Mongolia's sincerity, the Mongolian Qitai Ji Alborot will not only attend the meeting in person, but also be willing to designate the place and time of the talks by the Ming envoys, and promise that no more than 50 people will accompany the escort at that time.
Alborot only said that there were no more than fifty people on his side, but he did not stipulate the number of people on the other side. In other words, the other side can even ask for talks directly in Datong Pass, when Alborot will face tens of thousands of troops with only 50 men.
This sincerity is not insufficient, but it also shows Alborot's fearless courage and grandeur. This made all the Mongol soldiers, including Duolun, both admire and worry.
Even the Right Khan did not speak for a long time when he learned of the news, and finally only exhaled deeply, saying that he would definitely go to the appointment with Alborot at that time.
In fact, the king of the right tent is also bitter in his heart. Alborot wanted to die and survive, but at the same time, he was cornered so that he couldn't even say anything to back down.
The dignified Mongol Khan's Qitai Jidu was in danger, and it was because he was the first messenger to clean up the mess, in this case, if he retreated, I am afraid that he would never have the face to see people again. Even if Gou Yanjian returned to the royal court, he would be spurned by everyone, and Dayan Khan would never be able to explain it.
Therefore, he can only move forward, and there is no second choice at all. This is completely contrary to his original calculation.
Was it really a decision made by a young man and rashly, or was it intentional? The Right Tent King suddenly became a little confused. If the former is easy to say, but if it is the latter, it means that even he has underestimated this Qitaiji.
You must know that if no matter what the outcome of this incident is, the message conveyed in the eyes of everyone will be that his right Khan King and Qitaiji will advance and retreat together, life and death.
This is a kidnapping! A political kidnapping! He can't even speak. It was absolutely impossible for him to stay out of the matter as he had before.
Looking at the person who had been silent for a long time at that time, he was just shocked by Qitaiji's decision, but in fact, he didn't know that the reason why he was silent at that time was that he thought of this was the real reason.
So what's the answer?
When Doren said the above worried words, Alborot just glanced at him and said lightly, "Go and do something." ”
Duolun retreated, he was Alborot's confidant, and naturally knew that his master's attitude was already dissatisfied.
Looking at the figure of Duolun withdrawing, Alborot's eyes narrowed slightly. Are the Han people cunning? Of course they are cunning. Otherwise, there would not have been a scene where the fire screen was captured and the king of the right horde fled in embarrassment;
But he knew this, and he dared to say that he would only bring fifty people to the appointment, and let the other party designate the negotiation place, was it really completely defenseless?
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook slightly. Duolun only saw the appearance and only thought about how to be vigilant, but even if he took all the troops, would he really be able to confront the tens of thousands of border troops in Datong Pass? Even the fire screen of tens of thousands of troops and horses, didn't they just shout under the pass for a while? How could they really shake the Datong Pass brick by brick?
Moreover, in the end, it is not the end of being defeated and captured? Therefore, the chance of victory or defeat does not lie in the number of troops, but in the general trend of planning!
Mongolia has been deflated again and again in this incident, isn't it that Su Mo who cunningly provoked the general trend? The so-called general trend is actually the people's hearts when it comes to home. Since Su Mo can use people's hearts to create a general trend, why can't he?
You know, this is a prairie after all. After all, these herders are still the people of the grasslands. Alborot naturally has an advantage over Sumer.
He said in public that everything was designated by the Ming side, and he expressed his sincerity almost defenselessly, if Su Mo really dared to be unfavorable to himself, wouldn't it be the general trend that he had worked hard to create before, and the general trend of harming the interests of herdsmen on the Mongolian side would be tantamount to self-defeating?
If something really happened to him, who else would believe what Su Mo had said before? As for his own safety, he believed that at least his personal safety would never be a problem. Anyway, he is also Tululetu's brother, Su Mo just doesn't look at the face of the monk and looks at the face of the Buddha, and he will not really harm his life.
What's more, his father Khan had eleven sons, and he was only the seventh, and he was simply insignificant. For the sake of a prince who is insignificant to Mongolia, it is by no means the work of a wise man to destroy the favorable situation that has been easily created.
Coupled with the relationship between Turuletu and Tululetu, it is not a good deal for public or private. A man who can be called cunning, would he do such a stupid thing?
It can be said that he Alborot quietly reversed the situation with just a slight flick of the situation. At least, for now, Su Mo can no longer talk about the Mongolian royal court harming the interests of herdsmen. His heavy blow immediately pulled the two sides back to an equal position, and this is victory!
Why did he ask the herdsmen who came to petition to pass on his appeal to the Ming Dynasty, shouldn't he have sent a formal envoy there? The reason lies in the word "people's hearts." He needs to pass on his attitude to all herdsmen through these herdsmen, and fundamentally break Sumer's first-mover advantage.
Therefore, Duolun's worries are simply unfounded. In this game, he won. Now everyone is tied 1-1, who wins and who loses, it depends on their next means. It can be said that at this point, he has already earned enough points on the royal court's side. What's more, there are ......
The smile on the corner of his mouth grew bigger and bigger, and the smug look disappeared in a flash.
In Datong City, Su Mo listened to the report of the people below, a pair of slender eyes narrowed, and the expression on his face was both admiration and distress.
"My brother-in-law seems to be very uncomfortable. He smashed it and smashed his mouth, and said a little stupidly.
Zhang Yue and the others next to him looked at each other, his brother-in-law? What the hell is this? Everyone is discussing business, can you be reliable, boss?
Su Mo's eyes glanced around, and he didn't explain anymore. After thinking about it, he immediately sent an order to send an envoy directly to the Mongolian military camp, and agreed that tomorrow outside Datong Pass, the two sides would have a formal meeting on the location of the fire screening camp that day. In the same way, he will only bring no more than fifty guards as a sign of fairness.
When the order was heard, all the herdsmen immediately cheered and shook the sky. Everywhere you can see the celebration scene of slaughtering cattle and sheep, so that the soldiers and civilians in Datong Pass have feasted on the joy of their stomachs again.
Xu Pengju expressed great puzzlement and resolute opposition to this. From the point of view of Young Grandpa Xu, at this time, he can be said to have taken advantage of the right time and place, and he can completely use the momentum of crushing to run over and sign a real alliance under the city. Only in this way can he live up to his heroic posture of being born and dying before his little grandfather Xu and crisscrossing the desert.
In response, Boss Su responded by slapping him with two more slaps and kicking him out directly. Uncle, do you dare to be reliable? In such major military affairs, you still want to be in the limelight, and you really don't grow up! In other words, even if you want to be in the limelight, it has to be the boss, and I am not here.
Well, someone's shamelessness has reached the point where it is about to shatter the void......
Eunuch Yao and Jiang Zheng had no objection to this, their mission here was to fully cooperate with Su Mo and escort Su Mo. As long as Su Mo did not commit treason to the enemy, or obviously damage the interests of the Ming Dynasty, everything would be tossed by Su Mo.
Zhang Yue, who knew Su Mo best, was thoughtful in his heart, and faintly felt that with Brother Mo'er's treachery and shamelessness, there must be his intentions in doing this......
The time soon came to the next day, as soon as noon passed, the gate of Datong Pass was opened, Su Mo rode a big-tailed bear under his crotch, followed by the wolf king sun, and sure enough, he only rode out of the city with fifty. This time, Zhang Yue and Xu Pengju were all entourage, and even Eunuch Yao followed.
Well, to be honest, Eunuch Yao actually didn't want to come at all. Every day, thinking about the scene surrounded by Tartars, Eunuch Yao clamped his legs vigorously, feeling an irrepressible urge to urinate.
But he couldn't, he had to come if he didn't want to. Because he is a prisoner, he must be present to supervise in such a formal setting of negotiations between the two parties. So, he almost wrapped himself in layer after layer. He was wearing a soft armor inside, a chain mail outside, and even a bronze mirror was quietly stuffed in the place where his heart was built......
As a result, the old eunuch began to gasp a few steps after going out, and the beads of sweat crackled and rolled, and he almost followed him on his horse the whole time.
On the city of Datong, Jiang Zheng personally supervised the commander and led the border troops to see them out of the city. Among the few people, it can be said that he is the only one who really hasn't worried about Su Mo's safety or anything. He didn't forget that after leaving Beijing, the little grandfather of the Dingguo family, as well as the big master and fat man beside Su Mo, left.
It has been more than a month since they left Beijing, but these two people have never appeared. At this time, would the two masters who were loyal to Su Mo really be indifferent......
