Chapter 967: Entering the Camp Negotiations
When someone came in to report that Jizhou and the Mongolian army camp had sent envoys to ask for a meeting, Diesuda suddenly showed a smug smile on his face, everything was as he predicted, and both sides did not dare to ignore the existence of their own people and ran to win over. And those clansmen of the Duoyan tribe looked at their family patriarchs with admiration, this time everyone will definitely get a lot of benefits, and it may not be impossible for their clan to rise.
But then, a question came to them, how to receive the envoys from both sides at the same time? It would have been nice if they had come one after the other, but now that they are outside the camp together, it is a bit of a matter of distinction to see which one will see the other later, and one may offend the other.
After only a little groaning, Diesuda made a decision: "Invite them all in, and invite the envoy of the Ming Kingdom to see me first." "In comparison, the Ming people are much more particular than the Mongolian people on the grassland in this regard, not to mention that they are still nominally Ming courtiers, and this face still has to be given.
The clansmen below will also be happy and immediately rush out to invite people into the camp. At this time, the two sides of Ming and Meng, who were temporarily blocked outside the camp, were already glaring at each other, and they felt a little tense.
The scruples in Wumeng's heart are much heavier than those of the other party, because the situation of his own army is already quite worrying, and it has reached the point of a dilemma. Therefore, he must accomplish this mission, no matter how big the cost.
In his opinion, if he wants to force the Duoyan tribe to completely fall to his side, the best way is naturally to cut off the back way for them to unite with the Ming army, for example, to kill this Ming envoy in their camp. However, at this time, they did not dare to make a move easily, not only because the other party had already taken precautions, but also because there were many soldiers in front of them staring at it, as long as they dared to make the first move, once they missed, the effect would only be counterproductive.
Lu Jin, on the other side, easily saw through their thoughts, and couldn't help but smile with some disdain, it seemed that he was really right to come to the Duoyan camp this time. Lin Lie still had a lot of obstacles when he proposed this idea in the city before, after all, it was very dangerous to leave the city to negotiate with the Duoyan Ministry, and Lin Lie naturally didn't dare to let Lu Zhen take such a risk.
However, Lu Zhen decided that this matter could only be solved by himself: "To negotiate with the people of the Duoyan Tribe, you must be a person with the same status as their patriarch, right?" As far as Jizhou City is concerned, only you or Su Mudao and a few other officials have this qualification, but all of them were either killed or captured, and you, the chief general of the three armies, should not take this risk. Therefore, Wei Chengbo is the most suitable person for me, and in terms of status, it is not lower than that of Na Diesuda, which can be regarded as giving him enough face. β
"But ......" Lin Lie was still worried about Lu Jin's safety, but he waved his hand and interrupted: "I'm just going to negotiate with them, and I'm not leading troops to attack, what danger can I have?" What's more, I still have the identity of the Qincha, and no matter how bold he is, he will not dare to risk the disapproval of the world to attack me, the messenger. β
Having said that, Lin Lie naturally had no choice but to obey his fate. However, for the sake of safety, he still chooses carefully
Fifty elites in the army were selected to go out of the city with Lu Jin, and as for the other fifty people, they were naturally the best hands in the brocade guards that Lu Zhen brought from the capital.
At this time, after feeling the deep hostility and murderous aura from Wumeng, Yao Gan, who was accompanying Lu Jin, couldn't help but clench the handle of the knife and whispered, "My lord, do you want to do it later?" β
"No, after all, this is the territory of the Duoyan Division, and they haven't been so bold yet. And it's not here to kill the enemy, the most important purpose is to convince the Duoyan to join forces with us. So what we need to do now is to try to make friends with them, not to get into trouble. Lu Zhen replied with a serious expression. He believed that if it was a general in the army, he might have already clashed directly with these Mongolian envoys in this situation.
In the middle of the confrontation, the camp gate of the Duoyan tribe finally opened, and a clansman greeted him with a smile: "Envoys, please follow me into the camp to speak." Our patriarch is already waiting for you in the Great Tent. β
It was only at this time that the soldiers and horses staring at each other on both sides withdrew their fierce gaze, and their hands moved away from the hilt of their swords. But when they entered the gate, the two sides quarreled again, and each wanted to enter the camp before the other, and at once the camp gate was quite spacious.
Seeing this scene, those Duoyan tribesmen who were about to come over and take the two teams of men and horses to the tent to rest had another headache, so they could only persuade each other to let someone give way first. Naturally, the Mongolian side refused to show this weakness, so they still blocked in front of the door and never moved.
But Lu Zhen here, after a little muttering, made a slight concession, waved his hand to ask his subordinates to step aside, and let those Mongolian people pass first: "These Tartars are barbarians, and they never know what etiquette is, so why should we surrender our identities and fight with them endlessly?" Then we're no different from beasts. β
"What your lord is saying is, how can we be as familiar with such savage beasts?" The soldiers hurriedly responded in response, and watched with disdain as those Mongolian people entered the camp first, but they refused to forgive, regardless of whether the other party could understand what they were saying.
It wasn't until the other party entered the camp that Lu Zhen and the others followed into the camp of the Duoyan Division. However, unlike the former who was taken to one of the large tents after entering the camp to rest, they were led all the way forward and went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army.
After seeing this situation, Lu Zhen understood in his heart, obviously it was he who wanted to see first.
Sure enough, they stopped in front of a well-guarded, richly decorated tent along the way, and then the others were blocked, and Lu Zhen was allowed to enter alone. Of course, he had no objection to this, so he motioned for his subordinates to wait in the tent on the side, and he followed the leader into the big tent.
When Lu Jinluo bowed down and entered the tent, there were suddenly seven or eight eyes shining on him, and there were actually many important people waiting in the tent.
Lu Jin's gaze swept over the faces of several of them rather cautiously, and then settled on the brightly dressed man at the top: "Your Excellency is the Duoyan clan patriarch Diesuda, right?" β
"Bold, seeing my patriarch, how dare you be so rude!" At that time, someone reprimanded with a tiger face: "I still talk about you."
The Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette, why don't you even ignore this bit of etiquette? β
Lu Zhen didn't think it was angry, but he just arched his hand at the silent Diesuda: "This official is the Qincha sent by the imperial court to Jizhou, Wei Chengbo Lu Jin, and now he represents the Son of Heaven, so naturally it is not good to bow to others at will, and I hope that the patriarch of Diesuda will not mind." β
"You're Lu Jin?" At this time, even Die's body was shocked, and he said in some surprise, and then looked Lu Jinlai up and down.
As a figure of the year in the Ming court over the years, Lu Jin's reputation among foreigners is also quite large. These people really didn't expect that a person with such a high status as him would take the risk of coming to his camp as an envoy, which is really quite a lot of face.
And what Lu Jin wants is this effect, through his special identity, let these people in the Duoyan Department understand his sincerity, so that it will naturally be more convincing when negotiating.
After being stunned for a moment, Diesuda came back from the accident and smiled: "I didn't expect it to be a distinguished guest like Lu Dudu, please take a seat to speak." He didn't call the other party a title, but called him an official position, in order to naturally overpower the other party in terms of momentum and let the other party know that he actually knew him.
In this regard, Lu Zhen just smiled, calmly walked to the front, sat down on a felt blanket next to the other party, and naturally took a glass of mare's milk wine from the low table, took a sip slowly, and then looked at Diesuda and said: "This time, this official is here to commend the patriarch of Diesuda on behalf of the imperial court." β
"Huh?" Diesuda was a little confused, what did he mean by this? I haven't made any credit recently, can the court do this?
Seeing the confusion on the other party's face, Lu Zhen continued: "Obviously, the reason why your ministry sent troops to kill at this time is to help me Jizhou fight against the Tartars who have come to invade my border. It's just that I don't know when your troops will be able to send troops after a little rest, as long as the time is set, my Jizhou defenders will definitely be able to cooperate. β
I ......, "When did I say that I would cooperate with you in sending troops against the Warats?" Diesuda's face suddenly sank, and he said very unhappily: "Lu Dudu, you are too taken for granted, we haven't discussed it yet, you actually think that we will send troops to help?" β
"Your ministry is my Ming vassal, and now there is an invasion of foreign enemies, you have brought troops to help me retreat from Jizhou together, I really can't think of another intention." Lu Zhen replied with a look of course. This is exactly his strategy, insisting that the relationship between the other party and the Ming Dynasty will be anti-guest-oriented.
However, he obviously underestimated the other party's ambitions, in the eyes of the Mengren, benefits are the first priority, and as for any reputation, he can lean back. So after he said this, a person on the side laughed: "Lu Dudu, what you say is too self-righteous, what I want to do is only in ourselves, not to obey your Ming court, let alone what your so-called Qincha is." β
"What do you mean, Your Excellency?"
"My meaning is very clear, who we will send troops to see which of you can give us enough benefits." The other party simply spread the words to the light......
