Chapter 443: Trickery (2)
Altan Khan swallowed a bubble of saliva, Yan Shifan's words pierced his heart, he slowed down, and said: "Then with the meaning of Xiao Ge Lao, what can you do to let us benefit together?" ”
Yan Shifan's brows stretched, and he said with a smile: "It's still the sentence just now, you withdraw the army, my Yan family father and son will find a way to let the Ming Dynasty reopen the border trade, this is not a lie, you also know that once the border trade is opened, our Yan family can also use its power to make it profitable, and we will also urge this matter to be successful." ”
Helian Ba's face changed, he glanced at Altan Khan, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Ge Lao, after saying so much, you haven't come up with a really feasible plan, and just now you don't dare to guarantee that your emperor can reopen the border market, could it be that after we retreated, he was willing?" I don't believe it at all. ”
Yan Shifan "hehe" smiled: "Our emperor only wants to cultivate immortals and seek Taoism, for him, more things are better than less things, now the domestic army is in the army, the south is to be peaceful, and the north is facing your state, as long as the war starts, then you have to spend a lot of money, our emperor is to save face, if the military department from his money to repair the palace and prepare for the war to divide tens of millions of taels of silver every year, for a long time, he will not be able to support." ”
"Even if the emperor still does not open the border market on the surface in order to save his face, we can also secretly open the border trade in private, tell the truth to the Great Khan, that Qiu Luan is our person, since this person dares to trade privately with the Great Khan this time, then secretly open the border trade on the front line of Xuanda, that is, a trivial matter, from the general army to the imperial history, when the time comes, we will be replaced by our people, and the emperor will be happy to turn a blind eye."
Altan Khan nodded with satisfaction: "Little Pavilion Elder." It's just that in this way, we invaded the Central Plains this time, and I didn't get any benefits from the headquarters. As you said just now, the other servant tribes have all made a fortune, but my 50,000 soldiers in my headquarters do not have any booty, and according to the rules of the grassland, there is no war, and the benefits cannot be shared. If you ask Ben Khan to withdraw his troops now, how will Ben Khan explain to my tens of thousands of sons? ”
Yan Shifan's single eye flashed: "That's it." When I came, I also discussed with my father that if the Great Khan could keep his promise not to attack the city of Beijing. Then we will also restrain the army of King Qin, so that they will not attack your army, and your army can plunder the four suburbs of Beijing, which is a radius of two or three hundred miles. Our army will never attack. How about letting your army plunder for three days? ”
When the wolf heard about this dirty deal, he couldn't wait to jump down and kill these beasts, and unconsciously, his heart moved, and his breathing became heavier, and he hurriedly held his breath again, while secretly scolding Yan Song's father and son in his heart for the eighteenth generation. While continuing to stare fiercely at the people in the tent, if the eyes can kill. Now these three people have already been killed by him a thousand times.
Helian Ba didn't raise his head, he glanced at Altan Khan, Altan Khan seemed to be very satisfied with this mention, but he didn't speak, Helian Ba said in a deep voice: "Little Pavilion Elder, is this true?" Although I know that your father is now in the middle of the court, but after the Ming army from all walks of life gathers, will you not fight? Now you only have 50,000 or 60,000 weak soldiers trapped in Beijing City, so you will be so obedient to us, but if you have an army of 300,000 or 400,000, you will still be so obedient? Elder Xiaoge, give me a reason, okay? ”
Yan Shifan laughed: "General Helian, you said that if I have an army of three or four hundred thousand in my hands, even if I can destroy you, what good can I do?" When the emperor has no external troubles, he will start to rectify the government, and when the time comes, the matter of Qiu Luan will definitely be dug out by our enemies in the court, and we will be greatly punished, and our father and son will still suffer at a loss, so we will not do this kind of stupid thing. ”
"Besides, the combat effectiveness of our Ming army is comparable to that of the Guibang Heavenly Army, three or four hundred thousand troops gather around the Beijing Division, how much military food will be consumed every day, how much military salary will be spent, as long as your army is not really attacking the city, I promise that they will just be for show."
Helian Ba said coldly: "Your Yan family father and son can't cover the sky with such a hand, besides, if Beijing City is besieged, how can you contact the army outside?" How could you possibly give such an order to the armies of the kings of Qin, who only defend and not attack? ”
A sinister smile flashed on Yan Shifan's face, and he took out a yellow holy decree from his arms and handed it to Helian Ba: "General, please take a look, I think this thing is enough to prove my sincerity." ”
Helian Ba unfolded the edict, looked at it carefully, and after confirming that there was no poison on the holy decree, he respectfully handed it to Altan Khan, who didn't even look at it, and said in a rough voice: "Ben Khan doesn't know Chinese characters, Helian, you can read it." ”
Helian Ba said with a smile: "Hui Great Khan, this is the holy decree of the Han Emperor, which means that Qiu Luan is loyal to state affairs and has made the fastest progress among the Qinwang troops of all roads, and ordered him to temporarily serve as the governor of the five armies and command the Qinwang troops with full authority." ”
The wolf's eyes were about to erupt with fire, his hands were clenched into fists, although he was even holding his breath, but the anger in his heart was beyond measure, so that he could not act when he listened to this kind of traitorous deal, it was really more uncomfortable than killing him, Qiu Luan was the commander, he would definitely support the army, sit back and watch the Mongolian army burn and loot, and finally follow all the way like this time, and send the Mongolian army out of the customs with a large number of people and prisoners.
Altan Khan nodded with satisfaction: "This is not bad, Xiaoge Lao, I am very satisfied with your proposal, then implement it according to this, but Ben Khan has said it first, if your Qinwang troops have any signs of attacking our army, then I will immediately wave my army to attack the city, and don't blame Ben Khan for not giving you face when the time comes!"
Yan Shifan raised his waist with a long bow: "Great Khan Tianwei, how dare we disobey?" Even after the Mongol army returns to the steppe, we will definitely send an envoy to keep in touch with you, and we will never break our promise on the matter of reopening border trade, please rest assured. It's just that there is a small request under it, which I hope the Great Khan will meet. ”
Altan Khan's face changed slightly: "What request?" ”
Yan Shifan's eyes were murderous: "I know that this time your army is going straight in, and the White Lotus Sect has contributed a lot, and even I know that the Great Khan originally agreed with Zhao Quan, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, that after capturing Beijing, he would be the king of Song, a brotherly state, and the country established by Zhao Quan would always pay tribute to the Great Khan, right?" ”
Altan Khan's face was as cold as frost, and he said in a deep voice: "What, do you want Ben Khan to hand over Zhao Quan?" ”
Yan Shifan waved his hand: "Don't dare, don't dare, Zhao Quan is the loyal servant of the Great Khan, if Zhao Quan is handed over at this time, then the Great Khan will fall into the grassland with an infamy for not being able to protect his subordinates, which will only damage the prestige of the Great Khan, we are allies, how can we let the Great Khan suffer!"
I said coldly: "It's good to know, what do you want, just say it." ”
Yan Shifan smiled: "This matter is actually very simple, the former Tianjin Yiwei commander-in-chief made Lu Bing suddenly return to the capital from Shanxi, he also knew about the White Lotus Sect, and after he came back, he didn't do anything else, that is, he wantonly searched for the White Lotus Sect in the city, those White Lotus Sectists who disguised themselves as artists under the overpass, and dozens of poisonous people, have all been seized by him, Great Khan, with all due respect, you want to cooperate with the outside and attack the plan of the Beijing Division, it is no longer possible." ”
Helian Ba said sharply: "Yan Shifan, without internal response, my army can break through the city and enter the city, believe it or not?" ”
Yan Shifan nodded: "Of course I believe it, I have been saying that your army is a divine soldier descending from heaven, and I, Yan Shifan, can only look up." It's just that I'm talking about the White Lotus Sect, and now they have no use value for you, after your army retreats, Lu Bing is bound to search for the White Lotus Sect in the entire North China region, with all due respect, Zhao Quan is already a big sweat's chicken ribs, and it is a pity to abandon it. I'm afraid that the Great Khan is also worrying about how to deal with Zhao Quan now, whether to fulfill the promise to give him the title of king in advance. ”
Altan Khan stood up suddenly, and his eyes looked directly at Yan Shifan like cold electricity: "Yan Shifan, you want to trap Ben Khan in injustice, but you really miscalculated, do you think Ben Khan is a person who casually betrays his friends and subordinates?" We Mongolians value faith and righteousness, don't think that we are all like you!" (To be continued......)
