This time, Xianning Hou Qiuluan was actually very helpless, because the entire northwest was his defense area at this time, and he had no way to coax Altan Khan to other people's territory to plunder.

He also knew that if he wanted Altan Khan to withdraw his troops this time, he would probably get a lot of blood, after all, if people have nowhere to go, it is equivalent to running for nothing, and more than 100,000 troops, this trip is not a little expense.

However, he never imagined that Altan Khan would be 500,000 taels as soon as he opened his mouth, and there was no counteroffer.

What are you kidding, 500,000 taels, is it easy for him to be greedy for so much money!

It is impossible for him to pay for this money, and he will not pay for it if he is killed.

The problem is that he doesn't pay for it, but people will really beat him, and when the time comes, it is unlikely that he will die, and if he can't beat him, it's a big deal to run away.

However, I am afraid that this hard-won position of governor of the northwest will not be kept.

What to do?

Fortunately, Altan Khan did not press too much, and it would take Shi Yi at most one day to go back and forth from the Northern Yuan camp, but they gave him three days, and it was obvious that the remaining two days were left for him to consider.

I have to say that Qiu Luan, this guy, is not good at leading troops to fight, but he is a good hand at fighting for power and profit, he only thought about it for a day, and he actually came up with a clever plan to get the best of both worlds.

Of course, the best of both worlds is only relative to him, and for others, it is a mad poisonous plan, and even Shi Yi was stunned and stunned for a while after hearing it.

So, what is his best of both worlds, or his mad poison?

Anyway, at this time, Yi came back in less than two days, which was really a bit unexpected by Altan Khan, could it be that this Xianning Hou Qiuluan could really give him 500,000 taels for nothing?

If this is the case, then he will really withdraw from the army, because this time he is not very well prepared, at least the foot soldiers who have been temporarily assembled have not practiced much, and if they really fight, I am afraid that they will suffer heavy casualties.

If Xianning Hou Qiuluan can give him 500,000 taels, it will be enough for him to go back and train these 50,000 foot soldiers for a year, and when he comes to the next year, he will be an elite division, and if he fights, it will definitely be more than twice as strong as this time, so why not do it.

When Shi Yi entered the account, he pretended to be polite, and then asked a little impatiently: "How about it, what do you Hou Ye say, do you Hou Ye give or not?" ”

Really give you 500,000 taels?

You're afraid you're thinking about fart!

Shi Yi pretended to be pitiful and lamented: "Great Khan, 500,000 taels, our Hou Ye really can't make it up!" ”

It's rough, it's not 500,000 taels, and it's a fart!

Altan Khan was a little annoyed and said, "Since this is the case, there is nothing to say, prepare for war." ”

Shi Yi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't, don't, don't, Great Khan, listen to me, our Hou Ye can't make up the 500,000 taels, but our Hou Ye agreed to give 200,000 stone grain and 50,000 taels of silver, in addition, there is also a message to offer, this news, the value is definitely not less than 500,000 taels, Great Khan, don't you think about it?" ”

200,000 stone grain and 50,000 taels of silver are not in vain for him to lead the army on a trip, and more importantly, there is a news worth no less than 500,000 taels, Altan Khan is really curious, what kind of news is worth no less than 500,000 taels.

He pretended to hesitate for a while, and then said lightly: "What kind of news, you can tell it and listen to it, if the value is really not less than 500,000 taels, Ben Khan will withdraw his troops." ”

Unexpectedly, at this time, Shi Yi was a little twisted and said: "Great Khan, this news is worthless, you can't regret it." ”

Altan Khan raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully: "Do you think that Ben Khan is the kind of person you marquis, you say, Ben Khan will never regret it." ”

Shi Yi gritted his teeth, and then sighed: "That's okay, the villain said." ”

When Altan Khan heard this, he couldn't help but prick up his ears and put on a look of wanting to hear the details.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Shi Yi hesitated and didn't speak for a long time.

He immediately snorted a little impatiently, and stared at Shi Yi fiercely, which was a warning.

Seeing this, Shi Yi could only say helplessly: "Great Khan, if our news is correct, you should have conquered the Uliang Habu, right?" ”

When Altan Khan heard this, he couldn't help but nod with interest: "Yes, that's right, is there something worth 500,000 taels in the Uliang Habu?" ”

Shi Yi said embarrassedly: "It's not, but the south of Wuliang Habu is next to Jizhou Town, this, the Great Khan should know, right?" ”

Jizhou Town, Altan Khan naturally knows.

However, he didn't plan to go to Jizhou Town, because Jizhou Town was too far away from Hetao, and he had to lead the army to run back and forth, even if it was a pure cavalry, I am afraid it would take about two months, and if you add foot soldiers, it would take at least four months, and he didn't have so much food and grass.

Moreover, Jizhou Town is next to the Ming capital, which can be regarded as the gateway to the Ming capital, if he runs to attack, the Ming court will definitely be frightened to gather all the troops Qin Wang, when the time comes, he will face hundreds of thousands of Ming troops, he is not arrogant to go to the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops now, so he has never fought the idea of Jizhou Town at all.

He nodded lightly and said, "This Ben Khan naturally knows, what's the matter, Jizhou Town still has money to pick up?" ”

Shi Yi sighed secretly in his heart, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Jizhou Town has no money to pick up, but if the Great Khan leads his army to break through Jizhou Town, he will be able to enter the rich land of the capital, and pick up 500,000 taels, it is not the same as playing." ”

That's it?

Altan Khan seemed to be being toyed with, and the anger came up in a flash.

Do you still need to say this, as long as you break through Jizhou Town, you can enter the rich land of the capital, everyone knows it, the question, can Jizhou Town be breached, even if Jizhou Town is breached, can it withstand hundreds of thousands of Qinwang army?

You're an idiot to me, aren't you!

He was a little annoyed and said angrily: "This is also called news? That's worth 500,000 taels? Even if you don't say it, can Ben Khan not know? ”

When Shi Yi heard this, he hesitated again, and then he helplessly explained: "Great Khan, don't you know, this Jizhou Governor Yang Shun is a rice bucket who climbed up by bribing Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet, and he doesn't know the art of war at all. Moreover, in order to eat empty salary, he falsely reported the number of border troops, in fact, at this time, the total number of defenders in Jizhou Town was less than 5,000 people, but he reported 15,000 people. Great Khan, you can't even defeat 5,000 centaurs, do you? ”

5,000 centaurs?

When Altan Khan heard this, he couldn't help but move, if there are really only 5,000 people in Jizhou Town, then wouldn't it be as simple as chopping melons and vegetables when he rushed over!

However, he was still a little worried: "Even if you break through Jizhou Town, your Daming capital is not so easy to take, once you can't take it for a few months, hundreds of thousands of Qinwang troops can drown Ben Khan's men." ”

Alas, what iniquity you do!

Shi Yi sighed secretly again in his heart, and then gritted his teeth and explained: "Great Khan, you don't have to worry about this, where did our Ming Dynasty get hundreds of thousands of troops at this time, the imperial court can make up so much food and salary, and our northwest border army accounts for most of it, and at this time, the southern Japanese invaders are making trouble again, and the imperial court is also divided into troops to encircle and suppress, and the entire Ming Dynasty, and Liaodong can send tens of thousands of horses to support, and the Great Khan, your purpose is not to take down our Daming capital, don't you want to open the horse market, as long as the soldiers press the border, Can those civil officials in the imperial court not agree to you? ”

When Altan Khan heard this, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes, if this is the case, he is still afraid of a fart, leading the army to go around the capital of the Ming Dynasty, not only can force the Ming court to agree to open the horse market, but also loot it, why not?
