Chapter 1480 Persuasion
In the royal court, the people were panicked, and the khans of the various departments were in contact more frequently, and that night, Yelu Hongji came to Xiao Feng again, this time he came, Yelu Hongji's attitude was different, compared to last time, this guy was obviously a little hesitant, Zeng Yi knew that the rumors he spread had worked, and this guy was somewhat affected.
"Brother Xian, you should have heard the rumors in the past few days, right?"
Xiao Feng replied quietly: "It's just some rumors, big brother doesn't have to care, although I don't want to use troops now, but the Great Khan shouldn't do that." β
"Hey, Brother Xian, you are still too simple, he Meng Ge must have planned like that, otherwise how could he have acted so big and arrested hundreds of people! Brother Xian, the more Brother Meng is like this, the more our brothers should stand together, otherwise Brother Xian, one day, you will be swallowed by him and you will not be able to win! β
Xiao Feng smiled, "Then big brother, what do you mean now, do you still agree with him to send troops?" β
Yelu Hongji was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and nodded: "The opportunity is rare, I don't know when I miss it, although Brother Meng wants to weaken the strength of you and me with this, but as long as you and my brothers unite, with your strength, my soldiers and horses, the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun definitely have a share of you and my brothers!" β
It can only be said that the temptation of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun is too great, so big that Yelu Hongji would rather endure Meng Ge's tricks than agree to send troops, but Xiao Feng still shook his head and said to Yelu Hongji: "Big brother, I still recommend not using troops, our grassland has been fighting for many years, working and losing money, and the people really can't stand the war!" β
"Brother Xian, this time the troops are for the people of the grassland, as long as you take the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, that large piece of land, the people will no longer have to starve in the future!"
Xiao Feng sighed, "Big brother, I'll introduce someone for you, and if you still think like this after that, then I won't say anything." As he spoke, Xiao Feng shouted: "Second brother, come out!" β
Zeng Yi, who had already taken off his disguise, slowly walked out from behind, "Yelu Khan, don't come unharmed!" β
"It's you!" Yelu Hongji stood up suddenly, "You, you're not, aren't you wanted by the Central Plains, why are you here!" β
"Yelu Khan, please sit down, listen slowly!" After two days of rumors, Zeng Yi estimated that it was almost the same, he planned to fool Yelu Hongji personally, as long as Yelu Hongji, the current second leader of the grassland, did not agree to send troops, he was indicating the identity of the envoy of Western Xia, and persuaded a wave of Meng Ge, believing that Meng Ge would cooperate with Western Xia to carry out his plan.
"The Khan should know why I am wanted by the Central Plains Dynasty, right?" It is no secret that Zeng Yi is wanted now, and some powerful organizations know it, but Zeng Yi has shaped himself into a righteous person who wants to expose the intrigues of the imperial court. Although the imperial court also came forward to inform Zeng Yi of the crime of rebellion, no one believed it at all, as he himself said, with the good future of Jinyiwei, why would he go to participate in a rebellion that would not succeed?
Yelu Hongji nodded, and Zeng Yi continued: "If I have my original intentions, of course I hope that you can send troops to help me avenge me, but I am already a member of Western Xia now, and we are allies on both sides, I don't want you to make mistakes!" Yelu Khan, now is not the time to send troops! β
"You? Western Xia? Yelu Hongji looked at Zeng Yi, obviously not believing what he said.
Zeng Yi took out the waist card and showed it to Yelu Hongji, "I know, a waist card doesn't mean anything, but the Khan should know that no one here knows the strength of the Central Plains better than me, right?" Do you think this is an opportunity, the factions in the rivers and lakes will not help the Central Plains Imperial Court, but have you ever thought that once you send troops, those righteous factions, in the face of national righteousness, feel that they will take action, that is undoubtedly helping the imperial court to divert contradictions! β
"The imperial court has treated all factions like that, and the factions shouldn't make any more moves, right?" Yelu Hongji obviously underestimated the status of national righteousness in the hearts of the people of the Central Plains.
"Okay, even if the factions don't make a move, do you really think the court will lose? Let's not talk about the impregnable cities in the sixteen states of Youyun, hundreds of thousands of troops in the imperial court, and hundreds of thousands of troops can be recruited at any time, as well as bows and crossbows and ballistas of the imperial court and other sharp weapons to defend the city, and even if each faction does not make a move, there are many masters in the imperial court, six doors, Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Shenhou Mansion, there are many masters, don't forget, there are also Dali Duan's clan! β
Zeng Yi touted the strength of the imperial court for a while, and Yelu Hongji's face was obviously different, Zeng Yi was happy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "People Meng Ge don't care, if it fails, it can also weaken the strength of each department, the grassland is still people's, but what about the Khitan tribe?" β
Yelu Hongji frowned for a while, looked at Zeng Yi and said, "Then, what should I do if I see it as a young man?" β
"This is my mission to the grassland this time! Now you don't need soldiers, it doesn't mean that you don't do anything, what you have to do now is to add fuel to the fire, fall into the hearts of the people, as long as you expand the gap between the factions and the Central Plains, I believe that the contradictions between them will become bigger and bigger, maybe the Khan can also fall to a few sects, and then there will be no masters to use Hi Pi! ......" Zeng Yi deliberately exaggerated the disadvantages of sending troops, and blew the benefits of cooperating with Western Xia, Yelu Hongji was finally persuaded by him, and was silent for a while, Yelu Hongji said: "It seems that now is really not the time to use troops!" β
"Yes, whether it is for the Khitan tribe or for the entire grassland, it is really not suitable to send troops now, or that sentence, Meng Ge Khan has a huge power, he can afford to gamble, your Khitan tribe, you can't afford to gamble! Tomorrow, I plan to go to see MΓΆngke Khan, and when the time comes, I will ask Yelu Khan to help you with one or two! β
Watching Yelu Hongji leave, Zeng Yi knew that this matter was basically done!
Xiao Feng stood beside Zeng Yi: "Second brother, you have done a good deed for the benefit of the people, and the eldest brother has thanked you on behalf of the life of the grassland people!" β
"Where is the eldest brother, I just don't want to see war again! The people are suffering, and the people are suffering! After speaking, Zeng Yi looked up at the moon and sighed! But he said in his heart: "This forced pretend, perfect!" β
Rumors spread everywhere, and Meng Ge didn't dare to drag it out any longer, he was also afraid that the khans of the various tribes would really be affected by the rumors, although his original plan to send troops did have plans to weaken other tribes. Meng Ge once again recruited the khans of all departments, and discussed the matter of sending troops tomorrow like a king's tent, and Zeng Yi also changed into the clothes of the deputy envoy of Yipintang in Western Xia, and prepared to follow Xiao Feng to the king's tent to meet Meng Ge.
