Chapter 144: The Anti-Coalition of the Red Ti Tribe

Gone, Gunbu was not the first to fail at the hands of Burhan, and he will not be the last. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis winter is not destined to be peaceful, before the winter, the Hechi Ti tribe has already eaten the Tushetu Khan tribe alive, and the speed is so fast that the surrounding tribes and tribes feel afraid. Think about the former Turghut Department, the set department, and now the Tushetu Khan department, then who will there be in the future? Ministry of Tumut? Ordos Ministry? Or is it the Korqin Ministry, the Chechen Khan Ministry? While everyone is in danger, they also form a rope.

In September, some time had passed since the Battle of Mandal, and the forces on the steppe had been given a chance to reshuffle their cards. Although the Hechiti tribe was powerful, it was not large enough to control the entire Khalkha Mongols, so the small tribes formed alliances to protect themselves. Under such a trend of thought, some people's minds are alive.

In Kuku and Tun (now Hohhot), a dozen knights carried confidential letters and ran into the distance, facing in all directions. As the former overlord of Central Mongolia and the descendant of Altan Khan, Bu Lostu tasted the warmth and coldness of human affection, and he was unwilling to go on like this. Therefore, after he broke through Osaka's Ascension City and slaughtered the Ransang family, he subdued the nobles on both wings with an iron and bloody fist, which made his Tumut Department have the current situation. Look! When his messenger returned, the Ordos, Nenzhen, Chechen Khan, and Linzhong tribes expressed their willingness to participate in the Dakhulitai Conference convened by him. The satisfaction in his heart made Bu Lostu realize that the destruction of the Tushetu Khan Department of the Hechi Ti Department might be an opportunity. Although in the end, the two major tribes of Eastern Mongolia, Chahar and Korqin, did not agree, but this is no longer so important.

Joke! One of them is holding the thigh of Houjin and dares to openly confront the Ming court, and the other is a tribe inherited by the Great Khan of Mongolia.

On September 17, the leaders of the various tribes gathered in Kuku and Tun for a meeting of Kulitai chaired by Bu Lost Rabbit to discuss how to deal with the expanding Hechiti tribe. As the main lord of this place, Tushetu Khan Gunbu is also invited. Originally, he didn't want to go, but he couldn't resist Hagel's persuasion, so he finally rushed there himself. It is not only to express gratitude to the surrounding tribes, but also to respect Bu Lost Rabbit, the Great Khan of the Tumut tribe. However, it is true of the old saying: the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment!

Gonbu went to the Kuritai conference full of hope, but was disappointed. Although people finally reached a consensus, the Tumut tribe was the leader of the left-wing alliance, and the Chechen Khan tribe, the people in the forest, the Ordos tribes, the Nenzhen tribe and other tribes were to help prevent and curb the eastward expansion of the Chiti tribe. The leader of the right-wing alliance is he Gunbu, and the only people he can coordinate are a few Ding Ling tribes. As long as one member of the alliance is attacked, the other clans must join the warband unconditionally to relieve the pressure, and at the same time to hinder the development of the Hechiti tribe. This is the famous "naturalization alliance" in history, but such a loose alliance and such a general division of responsibilities have doomed it to failure from the beginning.

Therefore, Gunbu made a very clever choice this time to list the details of the "Naturalization Alliance" one by one and report it to Burhan.

When the ministers saw this secret letter, they only smiled faintly and didn't say anything. It's just that Zaduro is still young, and he didn't understand the hidden meaning for a while, he looked at Burhan and asked, "Big brother!" What do you mean by this cloth? ”

Zaduro was puzzled, how could there be an alliance in the world that would mark the specific content of its alliance, the purpose of the alliance, and the participating tribes and send it to their enemies? There are such allies, and some of them cry.

"Huh!" Burhan was not in a hurry to answer Zaduro's question, broke off a piece of milk dumpling and put it into his mouth briskly, and said, "The meaning of Gonbu is very clear, that is, he is gambling!" ”

"Bet?" Zaduro still doesn't know why, why are these adults so incomprehensible? Touching his bare head, Bulhan said, "Yes! He's just gambling! He's betting on our countermeasures, and he's betting on what his allies will do next. If we join forces with the Chiti tribe, it is more likely that Gunbu will be on the sidelines, because he is no longer able to do without us. But if Bu Lost Rabbit and the others can cause us trouble, then Ben Khan is sure that Gunbu will not mind tearing a piece of flesh off us. ”

Regarding Burhan's analysis, Liu Dingchen nodded frequently. "The Great Khan is right! However, just by virtue of Bu Lost Rabbit and others, a group of rabble also want to learn from the alliance? It's just a joke! Bu Lost Rabbit is a person with great ambition and talent, and he is timid and afraid of things, so it is rare to make such a determination this time. Sweat! The minister thought that our Hechiti Department should return to Shihetao to attack the Tumut Department, and its alliance should be self-defeating. ”

"The left minister's words were seconded!" Batu Bagen got up and said, since the attack on the Tushetu Khan by the Hechi Ti Tribe, he and his Tiger Cavalry had not fought a single battle, and he had already held a breath in his stomach. It just so happened that the Tumut Department bumped into him, and if he didn't hit him, he would be sorry for the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Tiger Cavalry.

"The minister also seconded it!" Guo Wei seconded the proposal again, and the ministers had no opinion, even the newly attached nobles of the former Shetu Khan did not let go of this opportunity. It is perfectly possible to attack the Tumut tribe with the strength of the Chiti army, and this is a good time for them to show their loyalty and make meritorious contributions.

However, Burhan waved his hand and smiled: "Hehe! Lost Rabbit? No! He Ben Khan has never treated him as an opponent, and this so-called offensive and defensive alliance is just a joke! If they had formed an alliance two years ago, Ben Khan would have been in a hurry, but now Ben Khan really didn't plan to take it seriously. It still has the value of its existence! ”

"Value?" Liu Dingchen seemed to have suddenly thought of something. "Great Khan! You mean, take the opportunity to dominate the steppe? ”

"You! You! I can't hide anything from you! Burhan pointed at Liu Dingchen and looked at him with appreciation.

"Not bad! If we want to unify Mongolia, we must cut off these intricacies, and there must be a reason, right? Are they engaging in some kind of alliance? Aren't you going to deal with me? Isn't that the best reason, the best opportunity? ”

After Burhan finished speaking, although Batu Bagen also recognized it, he didn't seem to have let go of the Tumut tribe yet, because Bu Lost Rabbit not only had a holiday with the Hechi Ti Tribe, but he could also directly threaten the root of the Hechi Ti Tribe-Hetao Plain, which was the most important place for the Hechi Ti Tribe, so he still advocated returning to the division and Linhe and fighting with Bu Lost Rabbit first.

"Great Khan! Although Bu Lost Rabbit is ambitious and talented, after all, he Tumut Department is the former overlord of Central Mongolia, and this time he has the help of the Ordos Tribes, I am afraid that it will not be good for my Hetao! Therefore, the minister still thinks that it is better to solve the problem of losing the rabbit first. ”

"That's right!" There were many aristocratic generals who supported Batu Bagan's views, but Burkand had his own considerations.

"Haha! Uncle Batu Bagan, you can rest assured. Ben Khan was sure that the reason why Gunbu told us the truth meant that they had not reached a consensus on the issue of sending troops, or had not mentioned it at all. I'm not worried about the lost rabbit, but the rear is quite troublesome. ”

Saying that, Burhan frowned deeply, stared at the map and said, "Tushetu Khan's department is newly attached, and the domain is uncertain, how can I return to the division without permission?" Besides, there was a thorn in my heart at the moment, and Ben Khan did not intend to withdraw his troops until he was dealt with. ”

"Oh?" People ask, in the whole of Khalkha Mongolia, except for the Tushetu Khan department, which one else makes Burkand pay so much attention? Don't... Be... Chechen Khan?

But I saw that Burhan was a little more ruthless in the northernmost part of the map, "That's him!" If the rear is restless, then our army will not be able to fight with peace of mind. ”
