While thinking about things, Lu Boqi entered the study and said to Liu Cheng, who was standing by the window, "Lord Liu, is there anything important?" ”

Liu Cheng didn't speak, but turned his gaze to the servant who was following Lu Boqi, who turned around and said, "You go down, stay outside and don't let anyone in!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The servant answered and withdrew. Lu Boqi smiled: "Lord Liu, this is the son of my family, and it has been two generations, you don't have to worry!" ”

Liu Cheng nodded, sat down at the desk, and said in a low voice: "Lin Dan Khan is dead!" ”

"What?" Lu Boqi was taken aback, and he didn't know whether he was happy or sad for a while, so he hurriedly asked, "Really?" Who killed him? ”

"Really, his head is in my place, and several of his subordinates have seen it, and it is indeed his!" Liu Cheng's expression was a little cold: "Lord Lu, I came to you tonight to do some ritual for Lin Dan Khan and pay tribute to him." “

"Doing something? Paying tribute to Lin Dan Khan? Lu Boqi's cheeks twitched, he considered his tone for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Lord Liu, is this a bit excessive, didn't we just fight with him?" ”

"What's wrong with that? I am deeply benevolent and generous, and all those who come to China from afar, the ancestors and ancestors will all be treated with tenderness. Lin Dan Khan held my benevolence, but he was arrogant, invaded my territory, and killed my people. We have made a big attack on the DPRK. However, God has the virtue of a good life, although I am sharp at the soldiers, but I will not kill them all, and I will let him live. Since ancient times, those who have committed crimes with ministers and killed monarchs have been punished by gods and men in the spring and autumn period. ”

Lu Boqi listened to Liu Cheng's endless talk, and was a little confused, but he and Liu Cheng are also old dealers, and he knows that this person likes to insert a sentence or two of private goods into a large section of nonsense, so he cheered up and listened, and immediately found that something was wrong. hurriedly interrupted Liu Cheng's words: "Wait, do you commit the following crimes?" Killing the king with a minister? Who are you talking about? “

"King Shunyi, the Bu Lost Rabbit Khan of the Tumut Department."

"Is that him? Listen to your tone, don't you want to kill him? “

"It depends, there is a plan." Liu Cheng couldn't fool the past, and said with a smile: "In addition, I also want to rebuild the Naturalization City." ”

"Lord Liu!" Lu Boqi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I have received a lot of favors from you, and I have to say some things, since Lin Dan Khan is dead, why should you make more trouble?" You need to know that it's too late! ”

"Lord Lu. You don't know. Liu Cheng recounted his inference: "Although this Lin Dan Khan violated my Ming territory, he is also the only person on the grassland who can call on the Mongolian tribes to contend with the Eastern Captives, if we don't do anything, I am afraid that these tribes will take refuge in the Jurchens, and then it will be troublesome." “

"That's also in the future, Lord Liu, everyone else is pushing things out, why are you taking the trouble on yourself?" Lu Boqi sighed: "Do you still think that your official promotion is too slow?" “

"I don't care how big an official position there is, but I'm very interested in the tens of thousands of people in the Chahar Ministry." Liu Cheng said secretly in his abdomen. Of course, he naturally couldn't say this, but looking at Lu Boqi's bureaucratic style of doing more than less, Liu Cheng understood why the Ming Dynasty was defeated by the Jurchens who started with thirteen pairs of armor, and the hearts of the people were scattered. It's hard to bring the team! He thought about it, and only said it from a different angle.

"Master Lu, do you think the battle by the river is dangerous?"

"Lined up with their backs to the river, facing tens of thousands of captives. Natural hazards. “

"Then Lord Lu wants to come again?"

Lu Boqi couldn't help but shudder when he remembered the almost rushing shouts and arrows flying past his ears. Hurriedly shook his head.

"I'm doing this so I don't have to fight this kind of battle again." Liu Chengdao: "Lord Lu, we have captured so many people, we must put them in Hedong Tianmu, after Bu Lost Rabbit Khan returns, there will definitely be a conflict with these tribes, do you say we care or not?" If they are in charge, there will inevitably be trouble, and if they are left alone, these tribes will either be annexed or flee back to the Hetao, and in either case there will be a lot of trouble. “

When Lu Boqi heard Liu Cheng say this, he smiled bitterly: "But if you don't kill it, won't there be another war disaster?" “

"My lord, please rest assured, as long as you agree, I will kill the rabbit like killing a chicken ear, so what can I talk about the disaster of war?" Liu Cheng had a confident smile on his face.

In the early morning of the next day, as soon as he got up, he was privately received by Lu Boqi, the governor of Ningxia, and after some secret discussions, Chesang crossed the river with a large reward, accompanied by Wang Anshi, who was a messenger of the Ming army.

Coalition camp, Shuai Tent.

"Bu Lost Rabbit Khan, the governor was very happy to see Lin Dan Khan's head, praised you greatly, and asked me to bring 1,000 taels of silver and 2,000 horses of silk cloth as a reward for you." Chesan smiled and said to Bu Lost Rabbit Khan, who was sitting on his right, that as he spoke, a dozen servants had come up with loads full of silk cloth and silver, and filled the tent. Bu Lost Rabbit Khan was already smiling from ear to ear, the silver was not enough, these two thousand silk cloths were a good thing, many of his subordinates were short of food and clothing, with these two thousand silk cloths, this winter would be better.

"And what about the captured right-wing people and the trade?" Bu Lost Rabbit Khan mentioned his greatest concern, although the hat on his head at the moment was big and terrifying - he was the leader of the most powerful Tumut tribe on the right wing, and he was the king of Shunyi in the Ming Dynasty, but the head under the hat was very small, only a few thousand people, if he could not get a piece of the pie from Lin Dan Khan's corpse, the Tumut tribe would not survive next autumn. As for the trade with the Ming Dynasty is even more important, in a sense, the purpose of Lin Dan Khan's westward expedition is to obtain the qualification to trade with the Ming Dynasty, only by holding this power tightly in the palm of his own hand, Bu Lost Rabbit Khan can determine his dominant position in the Mongolian tribes.

"King!" Wang Anshi owed a debt to Bu Lost Rabbit Khan: "There are many prisoners in the Khan Army, who is the left wing and who is the right wing, how to distinguish it?" As for trade, let's wait until next year. “

When Bu Lost Rabbit Khan heard Wang Anshi's words, he seemed to be willing to return the troops who originally belonged to the right wing to himself, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "In this way, is the governor willing to return the right-wing people to me?" “

"Not bad!" Wang Anshi nodded: "My Ming Dynasty has always used Xia to govern Xia, and Yi to govern Yi, and this right wing does not cultivate or weave." I left it useless, so I naturally returned it to the old master. ”

Bu Lost Rabbit Khan was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was not greedy enough: "General Wang, I am loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and I killed such villains as Lin Dan Khan, which can be regarded as a small achievement, why doesn't the governor rule the left wing with me and make it a fence for the Ming Dynasty." “

Hearing Bu Lost Rabbit Khan's words, Gushi Khan, who was sitting on the side, and Erji of the Erlut Department glanced at each other, and they both saw vigilance in each other's eyes. If Bu Lost Rabbit Khan can bring both the left and right wings under his command, plus the trade privileges with the Ming Dynasty, it won't take a few years, but I'm afraid that it will be another Lin Dan Khan.

"I'm afraid it won't work!" Wang Anshi said with a smile: "My family once said: Survival and succession are the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period. Lin Dan Khan died with him, and he still has heirs, so he can be allowed to rule the left-wing tribes to show my virtue! ”

"The Governor is really kind!" Bu Lost Rabbit Khan laughed strongly, but he was scolding in his belly. Gushi Khan and Erji next to him nodded secretly. This Ming governor Lu is a smart man, for the son of Lin Dan Khan, this Bu Lost Rabbit Khan is a father-killing enemy who does not share the sky, as long as Bu Lost Rabbit Khan does not annex the left wing for a day. The Ming Dynasty can let them contain each other, sow discord in it, and play that kind of political seesaw game, but this is also happy for Gushi Khan and Erji.

Bu Lost Rabbit Khan saw that the matter of annexing the left and right wings was not done. I had to think about it to see if I could get a little more, so I smiled and said, "General Wang, the left wing led by Lin Dan Khan has come from thousands of miles. Both Ding Kou and livestock have suffered great losses, and seven or eight of his subordinates were originally from our right wing, and I ask you to transfer them to the governor for me. ”

"The king, there is no basis for such a thing, so if the king is willing, he can go there himself and count out the captured people who originally belonged to the right wing?"

"This?" Bu Lost Rabbit Khan was stunned when he heard this, he originally wanted to agree, but the intuition he had exercised over the years between life and death made him hesitate again, he thought about it: "My people are new to the pastureland, and there are a lot of trivial matters, so it is better to wait until the matter is finished and cross the river." ”

"It's good!" Wang Anshi didn't urge, he turned around and bowed to Gushi Khan and Erji on the side, and said with a smile: "The governor heard that the two righteous soldiers came to help, and he was very happy, so let the last general come with a thin salute, not a respect, please smile!" After that, he presented two gift lists, which were much meager compared to the one given to Bu Lost Rabbit Khan, and Gushi Khan and Erji couldn't help but have a strange emotion in their hearts.

"Lord Erji!" Wang Anshi seemed to be a skilled magician, took out another letter from his bosom, and handed it to Erji: "This is brought by General Min Min Bejito, in addition, there is also a batch of gifts for you, please accept it!" ”

Erji had an order from Batur Khan to visit his daughter, and when he heard that Minmin's letter had arrived, he was very happy and hurriedly asked, "How is my family Beji now, why don't you come in person." “

"Min Min Beji has been a little sick these days, and he is recuperating, and the wind outside has not come." Wang Anshi said with a smile: "When I get better, I will come to see you!" ”

"Then after the general goes back, please turn goodbye Ji for me, and when things are done on my side, I will definitely visit in person!"

"Okay, the last general will definitely come!"

When Chesang and Wang Anshi withdrew from the tent, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly relaxed, no matter what, the three people in the tent still had a rather wary mentality towards the Ming army in their hearts. Erji looked at the envelope, there was a piece of paper on the back, but at first glance it was a gift list, and Gu Shihan on the side looked at it, and said, "Ah, so generous!" ”

Gushi Khan's shout, but the Bu Lost Rabbit Khan next to him also attracted over, it turned out that in addition to the two hundred horses of woolen wool and three hundred taels of silver on this gift list, there were also five hundred stone salt, five hundred stone tea, three hundred pairs of iron armor, and three hundred bird guns, these are scarce commodities that money can't buy on the grassland, compared to this, Bu Lost Rabbit Khan cut off Lin Dan Khan's head in exchange for a thousand taels of silver and two thousand silk cloths It looks much shabby.

"Brother Erji, Bu Lost Rabbit only got such a reward by cutting off Lin Dan Khan's head, what did you do, the reward is so heavy?" Gu Shi Khan asked half-jokingly, half-seriously.

"The Great Khan laughed!" Erji said with a smile: "These things are not given to me, but my family's Min Min Beji is filial piety to the Great Khan, and I am just a handsome here." ”

"Min Min Beji filial piety to the Great Khan?" Gu Shi Khan asked with some surprise: "Then why was it brought by this Ming general?" ”

Erji smiled, then said the truth of the matter roughly, and said with a smile: "I heard that Min Min Beji and that General Liu have a very strong relationship, and I am afraid that most of these things are the filial piety that Lord Liu gave to his father-in-law!" ”

"Tsk!" Gu Shi Khan complained half-truthfully: "I have the most soldiers and horses, but the reward I get is the least, hey! Compared to the Batur brothers, I didn't lose to him in horseback riding, wrestling, and archery, but unfortunately I didn't give birth to a good daughter like Min Min! ”

Seeing Gushi Khan's appearance, Erji couldn't help but smile and said: "What the Great Khan said is right, people like my family Min Min Beji, although the grassland is big, she is the only one!" ”

Erji and Gushi Khan were chatting and laughing lightly on the side, the main purpose of their trip had been achieved, and the rewards given to them by the Ming Dynasty were just icing on the cake; And Bu Lost Rabbit Khan is different, his original right-wing tribes in the attack of Lin Dan Khan annexed, serious losses, and the possession of the Tumut Plain, that is, the history of the famous Elechuan is a famous fertile land on the grassland, suitable for agriculture and animal husbandry, if you can not seize this opportunity to have a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty, strengthen their own strength, waiting for his fate will be extremely miserable.

At this time, Chesan had already arranged the residence of the envoy of the Ming Kingdom and returned to the king's tent. Bu Lost Rabbit Khan, who couldn't hold back the anxiety in his heart, hurriedly asked, "Master, what is the attitude of the governor of the Ming Kingdom when you go to the envoy this time?" ”

"Are you asking that Lord Lu?" Chesang replied: "On the surface, it seems to me to be very polite, but secretly it is very vigilant, when I crossed the river, I also saw the Ming army building a fortress next to the pontoon bridge, and Ningxia Fucheng can also be full of people who can repair the city wall, it seems that although the Ming army won Lin Dan Khan in this battle, but there are many casualties themselves, at this time the three leading soldiers came, must be on guard." ”

Bu Lost Rabbit Khan and Gushi Khan and Erji glanced at each other, and they all felt that Chesan's guess was quite well-founded, it is said that although the coalition army came under the banner of eliminating Lin Dan Khan, almost all the battles were fought by the Ming army alone, and Bu Lost Rabbit Khan cut off Lin Dan Khan's head was actually just a bargain. But the minister of the Ming Kingdom gave such a generous reward to the three families, which was obviously a matter of external cultivation of literature and internal military equipment.
