It's just that these words were whispered, Lin Chengzu wanted to come up and listen to it, but who made the people in the tent look at him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

So he could only wait anxiously in his heart, but fortunately, things did not disappoint him, only to hear Lin Dan Khan cough, and then pretended to be majestic, "Since you are so sincere, Ben Khan naturally can't treat your lord badly, so as long as the money and food arrive, three thousand cavalry, you will set off." ”

"Great Khan, what about the five thousand war horses that my lord prayed for?"

Lin Chengzu suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, but he didn't show his mouth at all, the matter has become half, but the matter of war horses is equally important, after all, through the redemption and sporadic purchase of horses in Datong Town, the war horses obtained are still too few, and after attacking the three sides of Shaanxi, he has gained a lot of war horses.

However, there are so many passes on the Great Wall on the three sides, once something happens, it is bound to need a huge cavalry to maintain the battle line, so Li Jing specially left Zhang Erma and Guo Sheng a carefully selected cavalry of 10,000 people, which is practicing day and night, but unfortunately the war horses under the rule of the imperial court are mostly horses and are overwhelmed.

Those war horses, it is better to replace them with Mongolian horses, anyway, the dragoons do not necessarily need too strong weight and stamina, as long as they can provide the necessary speed during a short raid.

The official trade of 5,000 Mongolian war horses every year is what Li Jing values the most, and now he selects the cavalry of the original Ming army from the three sides of Shaanxi to supplement the cavalry battalions in various towns, and the number is quite large, but it cannot form combat effectiveness in the short term.

"Five thousand war horses is easy to say, but not at the moment, I am in short supply of war horses everywhere in the Han Department, five thousand is too much, if it is two or three thousand, it will be enough to come out."

Lin Dan Khan is not so easy to talk this time, you must know that war horses are the treasures that the Mongolian tribes rely on for survival, let alone five thousand, even if it is one or two thousand, he doesn't want to come out, not that there is no, and he is worried that the Han people in the south rely on these war horses to train cavalry, any previous dynasty,

As long as the Han people have a large number of cavalry and a stable rear, they will go out to fight the nomads to stabilize the border fortress, and Lin Dan Khan is now going to borrow the hands of the Han people to weaken the Jurchen tribe in Liaodong, otherwise, he will not be willing to carry out such a large-scale war horse trade with the Han people.

But it doesn't work if you don't give it, there are many cities in the southern Han court, if Li Jing insists on not going out of the city to fight, then how can he achieve the purpose of fighting with the Jurchens and consuming each other?

So he still relented, and first allocated some war horses and cavalry on the opposite side, and always hoped that after Li Jing got these things he needed, he would be able to fight to the death with the Jurchens, and let him reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"If so, my lord's supplies will also be halved,"

Before leaving, Lin Chengzu got Li Jing's face-to-face instruction, coupled with the staff division planning day and night, almost considering all possibilities, as soon as he saw this situation, he immediately turned his face, anyway, he had figured out the details of the Mongols, that is, they were now embarrassed, being chased by the Jurchens on the grassland and hiding everywhere, if there was no Li Jing in Shanxi to resist the Jurchen tribe that might come.

And if it is defeated, then the Mongol Han Department Lin Dan Khan will never have the opportunity to return to Chahar, the two sides to put it bluntly, although they are hostile to each other, but in the face of the common enemy, the interests are the same.

"You Han people, you don't know how to be polite, how can you say what you say, and take back half of the truth."

Abunai couldn't sit still, and came out directly and scolded loudly, but Lin Chengzu was not afraid of the eyes of these people in the Mongolian tent, but smiled to himself, stepped forward and said proudly, "I have heard of the Great Khan of Mongolia, and he said one thing and another, ruling millions of people in Monan, and the tribes are all convinced, this is all based on Chrysostom and Yuyu, and he is fair,"

After touting Lin Dan Khan first, Lin Chengzu said again, "The trade between the two countries in ancient and modern times, black and white, there is no basis for what he says, Lin is a small official, can An be the master?" When my lord came, he said in advance, a penny of money and goods, and never let the Great Khan suffer a loss, but under my rule, after a long period of war, the country lacked food for the people, and all the money and food were gritted their teeth, and the North Canal was dedicated to the Great Khan, but the Great Khan was only willing to give half of the horse, which did not hurt my lord's hard work. ”

Everyone saw that he first raised Lin Dan Khan, so they had some agreement in their hearts, and then saw him quoting scriptures, although they didn't understand it very well, but they had a heart of approval, and finally listened to him again,

"My lord stationed troops in Yanmen, with 40,000 poor and weak people to fight against the Jurchen 100,000 iron cavalry, few soldiers and few generals, anxious to wait for the war horse cavalry to help, if you can get it, then the whole army will fight to the death, and I heard that the Liaodong Jurchens have many lawlessness, offending the Great Khan Tianwei, so I specially invited, if according to the Great Khan's opinion, what can I do about it?"

After listening to this, Lin Dan Khan pondered for a while, and knew that he was using the Jurchens to stimulate himself, and the subconscious intention was to fight for the horses, pay all the money and food, and not give the horses, everything would be over, and when the Jurchens would not be able to break the city of the Han people.

In order to weaken the Jurchens, the Mongols also had to give horses, coupled with Lin Chengzu's analysis, all the Mongols in the big tent were silent, and they looked at their own Great Khan to see how he decided.

"Does your lord really want to fight with the Jurchen Tartars?"

In the end, Lin Dan Khan was moved, but he was afraid that Li Jing would take the cavalry and war horses, but he still guarded the city and refused to fight to the death.

"Inevitably!"

Lin Chengzu gritted his teeth and said, "The Jurchen Tartars, at the beginning of my Ming people, but the wolf ambition, slaughtered countless of my soldiers and civilians, my lord's father, for the imperial court to Liaodong, also for the wolves, this hatred is not the same as the sky, now the jackals break the Xuanfu, rob my brothers and sisters, it is really a crime that deserves death, my lord has words first, whoever takes the head of the Jurchen Tartar, a reward of twenty taels of silver, if you take the head of the thief chief Huang Taiji, give ten thousand taels of gold!" ”

"Oh? It's such a deep hatred! Lin Danhan completely understood now, after a long time, Li Jing's father died under the knife of the Jurchens, no wonder he wanted to form an alliance with himself against the Jurchens, since this was the case, he no longer dragged on, and immediately said,

"Five thousand horses and three thousand cavalry will be able to set off in ten days, but at the same time, I will also watch the grain and pig iron and salt transported here."

Now that the Jurchens have entered the prison, looking at the appearance, there will be a large-scale battle with Li Jing in a month or two, if they go late, they may not be able to catch up, which also affects the interests of the Han Department, Lin Danhan is not stupid, as long as Li Jing is willing to sincerely contribute and fight the Jurchens together, it is the best.

"Before the departure of the lower officials, the materials mobilized from Shaanxi and Shanxi have been gathered at the passes, and when the lower officials reply to a letter, they will be delivered on the day of Keri."

As long as the Mongols realize the importance of the beggar army and the determination to attack the Tartars, they are not afraid that Lin Dan Khan will regret it, after all, this will benefit him and do no harm, as for the long run, among the Mongols, there are those who have such a long-term vision, and they are afraid that they will come out against themselves now.

"Someone! Set up a banquet, Ben Khan had to personally entertain the Han people. ”

Lin Dan Khan's new batch of money and food, replenished to stabilize his position, and only paid some disobedient tribal soldiers and horses, this business is cost-effective, so he also happily ordered the tribe to prepare to celebrate, this is the first good thing he has encountered since the Jurchen sent troops.

So much so that at the bonfire party, when Lin Dan Khan was drinking wine and cutting mutton, he solemnly told Lin Chengzu that as long as Li Jing won the battle with the Jurchens in Shanxi, he would personally lead his troops to attack Guihua and cut off the way for the Jurchens to retreat north.

This is not Lin Dan Khan's fooling Lin Chengzu, but the best portrayal of his heart has always been unwilling to fail, as the Great Khan of all Mongolia, he migrated all the way from Chahar to the left-wing Hetao tribe, in his heart, he was unwilling and angry!

But before, who called his strength weaker than the Jurchens, and the right-wing Mongol tribes have defected to the Jurchen tribes, he saw that there was no hope of victory, so he retreated all the way here, and today he formed an alliance with Li Jing, and saw that there was hope of re-living in Chahar, how could he not be overjoyed!

"It's done."

Lin Chengzu looked at Lin Dan Khan, who patted his chest and assured him, knowing that his mission had been successful this time, so he also laughed heartily and raised his glass to drink with Lin Dan Khan.

Under the speed of the flying pigeon, a day later, Yulin Town received the news sent back by Lin Chengzu, Guo Sheng personally commanded the grain and grass and pig iron hoarded here to be transported north, but he was not worried about the abnormality at all.

Because Li Jing lost this batch of materials, and the Mongolian tribes could not afford to lose such a strong ally as Li Jing, after all, with their own strength, they would never be able to take the initiative to compete with the Jurchens, and there was only one way at the moment, that is, the two sides formed an alliance and fought the enemy together.

It is conceivable that once they get this batch of supplies, the Mongols will be able to re-boost their morale, and even take the initiative to cross the Yellow River to harass the Jurchens, which forces Huang Taiji to invest more troops and horses to deal with the Mongols, and by the way, relieves the pressure in Shanxi.

And with the household registration of 3,000 Mongolian tribes, Li Jing can establish a pasture in Shaanxi and specialize in raising war horses, while 3,000 Mongolian cavalry can quickly expand the cavalry team, whether it is combat or training, it can effectively improve the mobility of the beggar army, and there is one more hole card to deal with the Jurchens.

Lin Dan Khan really said what he said, after receiving this batch of materials and counting them correctly, he decisively ordered the cavalry of the Han Department to raid several Mongolian tribes that rebelled against him on the north side of the Yellow River, captured a large number of people and livestock, and selected a full 3,000 households and 5,000 war horses from them, and directly sent people to transport them into the pass.

Lin Chengzu, on the other hand, was appointed as the senator of the General's Mansion in the Western Expedition and was stationed in Mongolia with full authority to coordinate the war against the Jurchens on behalf of Li Jing and the Mongols. (To be continued.) )
