Li Zicheng was having breakfast in the big tent, and He Xiao suddenly came to report: "Dadu, the Mongols have sent a messenger and are under the city, do you want to let him into the city?" ”

"An emissary of the Mongols?" Li Zicheng was stunned, what did Lin Dan Khan send an envoy to do at this time? Is it to negotiate peace?

How many Mongolian cavalry there are, the Mandate of Heaven Army has no information in this regard, since Lin Dan Khan personally went into battle, the number will not be too small, if you want to annihilate them all, I'm afraid it will not be easy, besides, the Mongols are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, if they want to escape, the Tianming Army will definitely not be able to take them.

It's not impossible to negotiate peace, the key is how to negotiate the law, and what do the Mongols need? And what can it bring to the Mandate of Heaven?

If the Mongols want the Mandate of Heaven Army to give up Kadang City, the Mandate of Heaven Army will definitely not agree, this is not only a matter of land, east of Kadang City, there are the Red Stone Cliff Copper Mine of the Mandate of Heaven Army, the Qilian Mountain Iron Mine, and Haomen County, which will affect the whole body.

This Lin Dan Khan, if he attacked Kadang City a few more times, maybe the Mongol cavalry would be almost exhausted, why did he send an envoy at this time?

Could it be that he has a master around him to guide him?

Li Zicheng can't gain insight into Lin Dan Khan's mentality, no way, he doesn't have any information about Lin Dan Khan at hand, except for some fragmentary knowledge from history books and film and television dramas in later generations, whether this is knowledge or a novel, no one can tell.

Since it is impossible to guess Lin Dan Khan's intentions, there is no need to waste brain cells in vain, and when you meet the messenger, let's see you again!

He nodded at He Xiaomi, "Bring the messenger first!" ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!" He Xiaomi turned around and went out.

After waiting for a pillar of incense, He Xiaomi turned back, followed by a man in a gray-black Mongolian robe, with a relatively delicate appearance and a tuft of goat's whiskers common to Han people on his chin.

When the Mongol saw Li Zicheng, he arched his body, clasped his hands together, and said loudly: "The villain has seen the governor!" He had apparently gotten some information from He Xiaomi's mouth.

Li Zicheng sat on the chair, did not return the courtesy, and said coldly: "Did you ask to meet, or did Lin Danhan want to talk to me?" ”

The Mongolian was stunned for a moment, his face showed a little embarrassment, and he disappeared in an instant, "This...... Naturally, the Great Khan wanted to meet with the Grand Governor...... Does it make any difference? ”

"This is a big difference," Li Zicheng picked up the tea cup by himself, his eyes fell on it, and he didn't sip, as if he was admiring a work of art, "If you ask to see you, and I agree to summon you, it means that we are equal status, you are Mongolian, just see him, if it is Lin Dan Khan who wants to talk, then I will be an equal friend with him, and you should see the governor of Pontus with the etiquette of Lin Dan Khan." ”

Li Zicheng doesn't like cumbersome etiquette, those false etiquette, don't do it, but that's for his own people, and the messenger in front of him is a Mongolian, so that's another matter.

He didn't know Lin Dan Khan's thoughts, if the envoy was taken lightly, it would be unfavorable to the subsequent talks, he was passively accepting Lin Dan Khan's talks, and he could gradually grasp the initiative of the talks after cleaning up the envoys first.

"This ......" The Mongolian envoy looked at Li Zicheng, and saw that Li Zicheng's face was grim, and there was absolutely no room for maneuver, if the meaning of serving tea was to send off guests...... There was no way, he patted his knees, turned over and knelt down, "The villain is the Great Khan's attendant Luo Busan, who asked to see the Governor at the order of the Great Khan!" ”

"Get up, you are Lin Dan Khan's messenger, don't be polite, look at the seat!" Li Zicheng put down the tea cup, waved his hand pretendly, and asked He Xiaomi to serve tea to Luo Busang.

"Thank you, little man!" Rob Sang was stunned before he sat down on the wooden chair opposite.

Li Zicheng's gaze fell on Luo Busang's face, and he said lightly: "Luo Busang, Lin Dan is asking you to see him, but what's the matter?" ”

"The Great Khan asked the villain to see the Grand Governor, hoping that the two sides could negotiate peace!" Luo Busang met Li Zicheng's gaze, his small eyes blinked twice, and he was defeated, feeling uneasy in his heart.

Li Zicheng saw his nervousness from Luo Busang's eyes, and estimated that the peace talks were extremely important to the Mongols, so he said: "How to make peace?" What are the instructions for Lin Dan Khan? ”

Lin Dan Khan naturally will not have any instructions to him, Li Zicheng means, what Lin Dan Khan has to explain to Luo Busang, in fact, he wants to explore his opponent's hole cards, if Luo Busang is in a hurry, say Lin Dan Khan's explanation, he can be invincible.

Luo Busang immediately sensed Li Zicheng's intentions, sneered slightly, and said: "Don't dare to instruct, the Great Khan hopes that you can withdraw from Kadang City and give way to the road!" ”

"The general of the defeated army, how dare you speak bravely?" Li Zicheng's face turned pale, and he said angrily: "Pull it down, take twenty heavy responsibilities, and throw it out of the city!" ”

He Xiaomi and other personal soldiers were closely watching Luo Busang's movements, and when they heard the order of the Grand Governor, they immediately came over and grabbed Luo Busang's neck and arm, and were about to drag him out.

"The Metropolitan Governor was angry...... "Luo Busang was shocked, how could Li Zicheng come when he said it? This is a talk, not a war! Isn't the meeting like buying and selling in the market? One side made a bid, the other side counteroffered, repeated several times, and finally reached a consensus, this metropolitan governor is Han, don't you even understand this? The hero does not suffer the immediate loss, the key is not to delay the good deeds of the Great Khan, he struggled, and said: "The Governor of the Metropolitan has misunderstood, the villain does not mean this......"

"What does that mean?" Li Zicheng waved his hand, and his soldiers let go of Luo Busang and retreated.

"What the villain means, the Great Khan wants you to exit Kadang City and let us enter the big grass beach in the east of the city, what does the Metropolitan Governor want, just ask for it......"

Li Zicheng will understand, dare to love Lin Dan Khan fell in love with the abundant pasture on the big grass beach, however, the Heavenly Mandate Army should not back down on this issue, if the Mongols are allowed to enter the big grass beach, then the Han land on all sides of the big grass beach is not under the threat of the Mongolian cavalry?

Kadang City was established in order to protect these Han lands behind, how could it be easily ceded to the Mongols? Don't even think about it, there's a kind of siege again!

"If this is what Lin Dan Khan really thinks, then there is no need to talk...... We will never let Kadang City out, no matter what conditions you give. ”

"This ......" Seeing Li Zicheng's resolute attitude, Luo Busang knew that it would be difficult to get the result he wanted if he continued to talk directly, so he adopted a roundabout strategy, "The Grand Duke, the matter of Kadang City is put aside for the time being, and the Great Khan hopes to ...... I hope you can provide some food and grass! ”

"Grain and grass?" Li Zicheng was confused, this is summer, how can the Mongols lack food? Could it be some kind of trick? He sneered: "There was a war yesterday, and today we will provide food and grass to the enemy, and when the enemy is full, we will attack our city again?" ”

He remembered the small southern country in later generations, where people still waited for the grain, grass and ammunition of the central country to be transported, and then turned against the central country, eating the grain of the central country, using the guns and ammunition of the central country, encroaching on the land of the central country, and shooting the soldiers and civilians of the central country.

If the Mongols win the war, by the way, they will ask for some war compensation, and it is reasonable, the question is, under the city of Kadang, the Mongolian cavalry suffered heavy casualties, and was killed by the Mandate of Heaven, and still has the face to ask for food and grass?

Li Zicheng didn't know if it was his brain that was short-circuited for a while, or if Lin Danhan was originally stunned.

"The Metropolitan Governor misunderstood, it was an exchange, an exchange," Luo Busang saw that Li Zicheng's expression was not good, and his language was extremely sarcastic, so he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and said busily: "If the Metropolitan Governor has any needs, you can also put it forward, we can make an exchange, and we will never treat one party at a loss." ”

"I don't know what Lin Dan Khan can come up with in exchange for food," Li Zicheng said coldly: "Since it is an exchange, it has to be voluntary on both sides, does Lin Dan Khan have something to offer?" ”

"I wonder what the Metropolitan wants?" Luo Busang said in his heart, the Mongols really didn't have anything to handle, but fortunately, the Great Khan had already prepared.

Li Zicheng gave a contemptuous look, "We need silver, red copper, pig iron, tea, clothing, and distilled spirits, do you have them?" ”

"These ...... None of us had ......."

"And what do you have?" Li Zicheng said lightly: "Before proposing the exchange, I hope you have to think about it first. ”

"But the Great Khan said...... "Lobusan went out," and the Great Khan said that he was willing to exchange his blessings! ”

Li Zicheng said strangely: "Fujin? Lin Dan Khan's Fujin? Lin Dan Khan is willing to exchange his fortune for food? ”

Luo Busang nodded, for the Great Khan, this is a humiliation, for every Mongol, this is a humiliation, but, except for Fujin, the Mongols really have nothing to look up to the Han people.

"It's better than snatching it directly, Ao, Lin Dan Khan's defeat in Kadang City is not that he doesn't want to rob, it's that he doesn't have that strength," Li Zicheng laughed, "It's a pity, we don't need Lin Dan Khan's Fujin!" ”

"You ......" Luo Busang rolled his eyes angrily, but in front of Li Zicheng, there was nothing he could do, after all, under the city of Kadang, the Mongolian cavalry suffered heavy losses, otherwise Lin Dan Khan would never take the initiative to negotiate peace with the Han people.

The Great Khan is even willing to take out the Fujin, if the Han people don't know how to lift again, it's a big deal that the fish dies and the net is broken, and the small Kadang City can still stop the pace of the Mongols? If it weren't for the Great Khan's compassion for the people......

"You want our food, but you don't want to show sincerity," Li Zicheng picked up the tea cup, ready to send off the guests, "If you talk about it, don't talk about it, the governor of Pontus doesn't have time to mess around with you!" ”

Messing around? Luo Busang wanted to cry without tears, the Great Khan gave him such an important task, in the eyes of the Han people, it turned out to be nonsense! If he hadn't been blocked from being stuck in the city, according to his temperament, he would have raised his feet and left, calling back the Mongolian cavalry...... It seems that the Mongol cavalry did not take much advantage of the city of Kadang.

The Great Khan is waiting for a reply, and the Mongols are about to run out!

All this hope is tied to him alone, and Robsan secretly warns himself that he must not act impulsively, and it is only right to get food!

"Grand Governor, what kind of conditions do you need to exchange food?"

"What kind of conditions, Lin Dan Khan should know!" Li Zicheng said in his heart, how could such an important matter as peace be reached the first time? Unless both sides have high expectations, the Celestial Destiny Army obviously doesn't have that idea...... It would not be bad if a peace agreement could be reached, as long as the Mandate of Heaven army did not suffer, so he also hooked the Mongols, "As long as our conditions are met, food is not impossible!" ”
