Volume 16 Chapter 16 Lure the Enemy Deeper
More than 1,000 horsemen continued to gallop forward, and withered yellow pastures gradually appeared on the wasteland, and pieces of camp tents were in sight, and then, a more dull sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, and tens of thousands of Mongolian iron horsemen appeared in front.
The two cavalry gradually approached, and gradually slowed down, and when they were about a hundred paces apart, the two sides finally stopped, and the liaison officer of Meng Yuan, who was following behind Koperov, hurriedly stepped forward and introduced: "In front is our Ozirtutaiji of the Shuote Department, the nephew of the Great Khan. “
Taiji originated from the Chinese crown prince and royal brother, and was a title for the head of the Mengyuan tribe, and the liaison officer meant that the leader of the Heshuo special department came, and he was also the nephew of Gushi Khan.
This status is high enough, the leader of the Heshute Department came to greet him personally, Koperov was a little flattered, and at the same time, his heart was also happy, Gushi Khan sent such an important person to greet him, proving that the Tile Spur Department was interested in sending troops to the Ming Dynasty!
After a warm exchange of pleasantries through the interpreter, Ozir Tutaiji rushed to the tent with Kopelov and the envoys, while the Cossack cavalry was led by a large force to rest in other tents.
Gushi Khan is indeed very interested in sending troops to the Ming Dynasty, if the situation is not too bad, he is ready to blackmail Tsarist Russia for a large sum, and then send troops to the Ming Dynasty to take advantage of it, after all, it is difficult to encounter such an opportunity as a war between Tsarist Russia and the Ming Empire, and it would be a pity not to take advantage of it.
Of course, it would be best if he could overturn the Ming Empire, but Gushi Khan did not have this extravagant hope, he still knew that he still had a little, although the Tile Spur Department had returned to the strength of the heyday, but the Ming Empire also returned to the peak state of the Dynasty period, at that time they even overturned the orthodoxy of Meng Yuan, and it was not enough to see that just a Tile Spur Department was in front of them, even if it was added to Tsarist Russia, it was impossible to overturn them.
Gushi Khan's mentality of wanting to take advantage of both sides Kopelov is naturally very clear, if you want to fool people, you must do what they like, if you like to take advantage, I will fool you think that there is a big advantage to take advantage of.
After Koperov came to the tent, he bowed to Gushi Khan without humility or arrogance, and then said loudly: "Great Gushi Khan, General Koperov of the Tsarist Russian Army greets you on behalf of His Majesty the Tsar and Prime Minister Rozov. “
After listening to the translator's words, Gushi Khan slowly stood up and solemnly stroked his chest: "Thank you for your greetings from His Majesty the Tsar and Lord Rozov, and please also ask General Koperov to convey my greetings to them." “
After that, he cordially beckoned Rozov and his party to sit down at a small table on the left, and motioned for Ozirtu to sit on the right, and then sat down again.
After everyone sat down, Gushi Khan did not rush to ask Koperov what he was here for, but said cordially: "Your Excellency, General, this journey is very hard, right?" “
Lack of Ke, this guy is not simple, although this sounds like a cordial greeting, but the meaning is not so simple, if from the perspective of negotiation, then what he means is, this winter, you are in such a hurry, you must have been beaten by the Ming Empire!
Kopelov cursed in his heart, and then said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine, a few years ago, when I was on an expedition to the Siberian Khanate, I led my army to chase their main force for tens of thousands of miles, and this distance is nothing to me." “
He is purely bragging, when he fought the Siberian Khanate, he also took tens of thousands of horses to eliminate several medium-sized tribes of a certain size, and he ran thousands of miles to death, if you count from the imperial capital, it is naturally tens of thousands of miles, but the problem is that he rushed to the battlefield leisurely by boat, and he didn't use to run for tens of thousands of miles at all!
Gu Shi Khan naturally didn't know whether what he said was true or not, so he could only hahaha: "Hahahaha, Your Excellency the General is really heroic, Ben Khan likes warriors the most, come on, serve wine and food, Ben Khan wants to accompany this warrior from afar to drink a few more glasses." “
After the wine and food came up, Gushi Khan still didn't mention the war in Siberia, let alone the Ming Empire, but just persuaded him to drink, as if he really invited someone to drink.
Koperov seemed to have forgotten what he was here for, and only knew that he drank and ate food vigorously, and then braged about some heroic exploits that he had heard from others, and talked about them as if his own deeds were there, and even the other members of the diplomatic corps next to him were almost vomiting when they heard it.
This General Kopelov is really shameless, you are brave and you fart, those are other people's records, right!
Why is Koperov so shameless and braggy, do you say that you can't blow something else, why do you repeatedly emphasize that you are brave?
Of course, he has a purpose, and his bravery is blown, but Gushi Khan's bravery is not blown.
Gushi Khan was really aroused, and while chatting, he suddenly sighed: "Alas, it's a pity, since the defeat of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, there is no decent opponent anymore, and I don't have a chance to move my muscles and bones on the battlefield." “
Koperov immediately took the opportunity and said: "Great Khan, please forgive me for being presumptuous, I don't agree with this, isn't there a powerful Ming Empire in the east?" “
When Gu Shi Khan heard this, he pouted and said: "Courage does not mean that the limbs are developed and the mind is simple, the Ming Empire is not an opponent of the same level as us at all, why go to them for no reason?" “
Koperov pretended to be slightly drunk and said: "Great Khan, I still have to take the liberty of saying a few words, but I heard that your ancestor also defeated the Ming Empire before the Great Khan, and even their emperor was captured. “
When Gushi Khan heard this, his face changed, and he said slightly angrily: "It is not the ancestor of Ben Khan, and the Ming Empire he defeated at that time is not the current Ming Empire, at that time, the eunuchs of the Ming Empire were in power, and they made a mess inside, and they had no combat effectiveness at all, and the current Ming Empire is very powerful." “
Koperov still pretended to be slightly drunk and said: "Oh, is the Ming Empire very strong? How I don't know! “
Gu Shi Khan couldn't help but mock: "You don't know? How did Ben Khan hear that you were beaten by the Ming Empire in Siberia? “
Koperov pretended to be crazy with wine: "Hahahaha, what a fart, that's just to lure the enemy deeper." “
How could Gushi Khan be so easily fooled, he continued to mock: "Your plan to lure the enemy into the depths is too clever, and you have been defeated for thousands of miles, wouldn't you want to lure you to the imperial capital of Tsarist Russia?" “
As soon as he said this, Ozirtu and the others on the right couldn't help laughing, they were beaten to the point of urine, and they were defeated for thousands of miles, and they said that they lured the enemy to go deeper, which is really ridiculous!
Kopelov didn't get angry, and when the people on the other side had laughed enough, he said in a daze: "Great Khan, you must know that the Ming Empire has used almost all the land forces, and it is a million people, if you don't tempt them for thousands of miles, will it have an effect?" Besides, we also sent tens of thousands of horses and horses of the Far Eastern Army to deal with them, isn't it to lure the enemy, if we really fight, we only have tens of thousands of horses? “
Gushi Khan was stunned when he heard this, he really didn't know much about these situations, could it be that Tsarist Russia was really luring the enemy to go deeper?
