Lin Dan Khan took the sign and looked at it carefully, it was a metal sign, with "Military Department" engraved on one side and "Foreign Affairs Liaison Office" on the other. The manufacturing is beautiful, and it should be true when you think about it.

Lin Dan Khan's mind turned: as a descendant of the Golden Family, he has always been determined to revive Mongolia, and if he actually succumbed to the Ming Emperor, he was afraid that the ancestors of the Golden Family would be so angry that they jumped out of the grave, although they had no graves at all.

But if he doesn't agree to Emperor Ming's conditions, don't talk about Korqin and Nekhalkha, even Chahar is afraid that he won't be able to control it. The Mongols believed only in the strong, in strength. He was defeated by the Ming army in a row, and his prestige was gone, and the Ming army would not come to attack, and he would be defeated and killed by the forces inside Mongolia.

Do you care about the glory of the Golden Family, or seize your own power? It's a very irritating choice. Lin Dan Khan, who was originally in history, refused to fight with Houjin, and left the Dorot tribe to stay in his hometown in 1627, and then moved west. It was easy to defeat the Harasin tribe on the right flank and the Tumut tribe settled in the city of Naturalization, and established a foothold on the right flank. However, after the surrender of the various ministries was soon forced, Jin was forced to move to Qinghai. Now that the Harashen and Tumut tribes have been occupied by the Ming army, he cannot move westward, and to the north he has to face the three Khans of Mobei, who have always been at odds with him, so he can only stick to Chahar.

And now the fighting ability of the Ming army and the Mongols has been greatly distanced, and their own battle with the Ming army has been lost, except for the Chahar headquarters, it is no longer possible for other Mongolian departments to obey their orders. And if you want to submit to the Mongol tribes, you can't do it with the power of Chahar alone.

He has always pursued the policy of "first securing the interior" when it comes to the outside, but now it is no longer possible to do it, and the outside world will naturally become a bubble. But he had a bold idea in his heart: "General Li, Ben Khan wants to talk to the general of your army who can call the shots." ”

Li Delin said: "Great Khan, the most senior general of our army is Division Commander Du, and now that our two armies are facing each other, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the two of you to see each other." In fact, Commander Du only has the power to command the Ming army to fight the Great Khan, and if your request is in other aspects, he has no right to agree to the Great Khan's request. ”

Lin Dan Khan said: "If I agree to General Li's request, then can I make a request?" Sonomu Noyan hurriedly shouted, "Great Khan." Lin Dan Khan shook his hand and motioned for him not to say anything yet.

Li Delin glanced at Sono Munuoyan and said, "Great Khan, please speak." ”

Lin Dan Khan said: "Ben Khan wanted to find the Ming Dynasty to borrow troops and first unify the Mongolian tribes. ”

Li Delin was stunned, the cabinet and the General Staff had imagined various possibilities, including Lin Dan Khan's recklessness to fight the Ming army to the end, but he never thought of this possibility. Isn't this what the emperor called a traitor, oh no, a traitor? Sonomunoyan's face turned pale, but he did not make a sound.

He thought for a moment before saying, "If the Great Khan is really willing to agree to our request, then we will replace a more senior military official to negotiate with the Great Khan in detail, such as Sun Cifu." ”

Lin Dan Khan asked, "Since Ben Khan is willing to accept your suggestion, can he ask General Du to postpone the attack?" ”

Li Delin shook his head and said: "The arrow is on the string, and I have to send it." At most, I can explain the situation to General Du and ask General Du to consider whether he can slow down the attack, but the final decision is still in General Du's hands. Unless you wait until Sun Cifu comes, you can control General Du. ”

Lin Dan Khan said: "Ben Khan is willing to provide you with the best horses, so that you can send the news back to Xuanfu in one day, so that Sun Cifu should be able to come within two days." ”

Li Delin said: "The last time we left, Sun Cifu had already rushed back to the capital, and I don't know if it was in Xuanfu now." But since the Great Khan is willing to cooperate with us, please provide us with a good horse, and I will report it to the court at once. ”

Lin Dan Khan gave the two four horses, and after Li Delin returned to the Ming army garrison, he immediately wrote a letter, sealed it, and handed it to the two people with the best riding skills to send it to Xuanfu, asking them to hand it over to Sun Chengzong in person. Then he went to Du Guangting and told him about the conversation with Lin Dan Khan.

After listening to him, Du Guangting said: "You have also seen the situation during the day, we already have a great advantage over the Mongols, why don't we take the opportunity to attack and make Lin Dan Khan surrender directly?" ”

Li Delin shook his head and said: "Actually, I don't know why, it's just that His Majesty the Emperor has specially asked people to study Lin Dan Khan, thinking that he can cooperate with Daming when he is forced to have nowhere to go." Some people in the imperial court and the general staff felt that it was the best situation to surrender without a fight, so they let me come into contact with Lin Dan Khan. ”

Du Guangting said: "Defeating Lin Dan Khan can make Mongolia separate and collapse, isn't this the best result?" If you don't die if you fight a snake, you will suffer from it. ”

Li Delin said: "His Majesty the Emperor thinks that the Mongols should not be weakened too much, because in the north of the Mongols, there are more vicious enemies. ”

Du Guangting said proudly: "Is there a more vicious enemy than the Mongols? Before the Ming army, any kind of enemy was vulnerable. ”

Li Delin said: "I don't understand this very well, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor is worried that the Mongols will be defeated by the enemy in the north and subdued, so he wants to leave the Mongols to guard the north." ”

Du Guangting said: "I will attack as usual tomorrow, but you can tell Lin Dan Khan that as long as he retreats fifty miles every day, our army will no longer advance." ”

Li Delin came to Lin Danhan's residence again and repeated Du Guangting's words. Lin Dan Khan thought for a while and said: "Fifty miles a day is nothing, and two days and a hundred miles are barely acceptable." But if Sun Cifu is less than three days, it will be impossible to retreat one hundred and fifty miles. ”

Li Delin said: "We have sent someone to rush back to Xuanfu overnight, even if Sun Cifu is old and can't arrive in two days, he should also send an order to General Du, and the Great Khan can rest assured." ”

The next day, Lin Dan Khan led his army back fifty miles. Du Guangting, on the grounds that Wang Zuomin was at the same level as himself and was not under his own jurisdiction, allowed him to attack the Dorot Division, and captured about 8,000 people of the Dorot Division. After receiving Du Guangting's order to occupy as much land as possible, Su Xiang fully let go of himself and chased the Abaga tribe to the ground, the Ming army captured more than 5,000 people, and the rest of the half took refuge in Mobei, and the rest fled far to the east.

On the third day, Lin Dan Khan continued to retreat fifty miles, and Du Guangting had already received an order from above: continue to follow Lin Dan Khan forward fifty miles, and wait for General Lu Xiangsheng, chief of staff of the General Staff, to come and negotiate with him.
