Next, in this Jinluan Palace, there were officials who came out one after another to make suggestions and suggestions for the Northern Expedition.

Suddenly, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites came out of the ranks, bowed to Zhao Lin and said, "Your Majesty, the envoy sent by the Great Khan of Mongolia is waiting outside the palace, asking for an audience. ”

"The Great Khan of the Mongols?"

Zhao Lin was stunned, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

The Mongolian steppe, located in the northern part of the Fire Empire.

It was a vast prairie.

There are a large number of nomadic tribes that live.

For hundreds of years, this prairie was in a state of chaos and ownerlessness.

A group of nomadic tribes, each dominant, attacked each other, and the war continued.

However, in recent decades, this chaotic situation has come to an end.

This generation of Mongol Great Khans made great efforts to defeat other tribes and unify the entire steppe.

According to the laws of the past.

Once a strong figure appeared on the steppe.

They will surely wave their army south and invade the Central Plains.

Now that the Mongol Khan has sent an envoy to come, Zhao Lin doesn't have to guess at all, he can know the other party's intentions.

"Let them in!"

Zhao Lin waved his hand.

After a while, several powerful figures dressed in animal skin clothes walked into the Jinluan Palace.

The first person, with a beard and a felt hat, immediately bent down to Zhao Lin after entering the hall, "The Mongolian envoy Timur has seen the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Seeing that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty on the throne of the dragon chair was so young, Timur's heart suddenly flashed with contempt.

It is rumored that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is wise and martial, and he is the master of a generation of Zhongxing and the saint of the ages.

This made Timur very important.

Unexpectedly, after seeing Zhao Lin, he found that it was just a milky little doll.

He was greatly disappointed.

How can a little doll be compared to their generation of arrogant Mongolian Khan?

"No courtesy. ”

Zhao Lin raised his hand, "I don't know why the Great Khan of Mongolia sent envoys from thousands of miles away?"

"Your Majesty the Emperor, our Great Khan has sent us here mainly to discuss cooperation. ”

Timur looked at Zhao Lin on the throne with a smile, "Dare to ask His Majesty the Emperor, do you want to destroy the Fire Empire and dominate the Central Plains?"

"Absolutely. ”

Zhao Lin said noncommittally, "Dominating the world is not only my wish, but also the long-cherished wish of the previous emperors of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Hehe, our Great Khan knows that His Majesty is different from that Yu Wenlie, and is an ambitious Ming Jun. ”

The smile on Timur's face became brighter and brighter, "Therefore, our Great Khan is willing to send 500,000 cavalry to the south to attack the belly and back of the Fire Empire, and help His Majesty the Emperor destroy the Fire Empire and set the Central Plains in the north." ”

"Oh?"

Zhao Lin's eyebrows raised, but the corners of his mouth were filled with a sneer, "You Great Khan are so kind, are you willing to help me take the Central Plains for free?"

"Your Majesty said with a smile, of course it won't be gratuitous for me to send such a large number of soldiers to help the Mongolian steppe,"

Timur smiled and shook his head, "The conditions of our Great Khan are very simple, after the matter is completed, our two countries will be bounded by the Yellow River. ”

"South of the Yellow River, it belongs to your Great Song Dynasty. ”

"North of the Yellow River, it belongs to our Mongol Great Khan. ”

"In this way, the lost territory of your Great Song Dynasty has been recovered, why not do it?"

Hearing this, the civil and military officials understood the meaning of this timur.

The other party wants to join forces with their Great Song Dynasty and carve up the Fire Empire!

It's a good idea.

With the current national strength of the Fire Empire, if it is attacked by the Great Song Dynasty and the Mongolian steppe in the north and south, it will undoubtedly be destroyed.

It's just that the ministers have another worry in their hearts.

Once the territory is divided according to the above agreement, after the fall of the Fire Empire, the Great Song Dynasty will directly border Mongolia.

The two sides are bounded by the Yellow River!

It means that the northern border of the Great Song Dynasty will be unsafe.

The Mongol cavalry can launch a southern invasion at any time!

Nomads have always been the confidants of the Central Plains Dynasty.

In the history of the ancestors, there have been many cases of nomadic people causing trouble in the Central Plains.

These nomads, like locusts, pass through a hell on earth.

I'm afraid the harm will be even worse than that of the Fire Empire.

This is where the ministers are suspicious.

However, if it could obtain a large territory south of the Yellow River, the Great Song Dynasty would also greatly increase its territory.

How to choose, it depends on how His Majesty chooses.

For a while, the eyes of the ministers were all focused on Zhao Lin's body.

Under the gaze of the hundred officials, Zhao Lin's face was without waves.

He looked at Timur below and nodded slightly: "Your Great Khan's proposal of 'flanking from the north and south' is very good, but this condition needs to be changed. ”

Hearing this, Timur frowned, "Your Majesty the Emperor, this condition is already the bottom line of our Great Khan. ”

"Since Your Majesty doesn't plan to use the Yellow River as the boundary, then you might as well tell me where you plan to use it as the boundary?"

In his opinion, Zhao Lin probably wanted to move the border further north.

By the way, I want to go back to some strategic places.

If these are the case, the Mongol Great Khan once explained to him, but it is not impossible to talk about it.

However, Zhao Lin on the throne shook his head, "The conditions I am talking about are not boundaries. ”

"In my plan, after I unify the Central Plains, the next goal is to level the Mongolian steppe and turn it into a part of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

"However, if you Mongol Great Khan are now willing to join forces with me to attack Agni, I can consider making your Great Khan the king of Shunyi and allowing him to be the steppe of Yongzhen for generations. ”

When the words fell, the faces of everyone in the court changed suddenly.

Everyone looked at Zhao Lin in disbelief.

Flattening the Mongolian steppes?

Crowned the Great Khan of Mongolia as the king of Shunyi?

Many officials sweated on their foreheads.

What kind of tiger and wolf words are you talking about......

The faces of Timur and the Mongol envoys were even more difficult to see.

This guy is crazy!

Listening to Zhao Lin's meaning, he didn't want to give them the slightest benefit from the Mongolian steppe, so he wanted their Mongolian cavalry to saddle up and attack the Fire Empire.

The only benefit was that Zhao Lin would crown the Mongol Khan as the king of Shunyi and allow the latter to live in the grasslands.

It's a joke!

The steppe is the stuff of the Mongolian Great Khan, and it needs Zhao Lin's permission?

How revered was the position of the Great Khan of Mongolia?

What do you need Zhao Lin to seal the king of Shunyi?

In his opinion, Zhao Lin did not want to negotiate at all.

Rather, I want to humiliate them!

"Your Majesty the Emperor!"

Timur held back the anger in his chest and hugged his fist towards Zhao Lin on the throne: "This negotiation is an excellent opportunity for both of us to expand our territory, how can Your Majesty be a child's play?"

"I'm not playing. ”

Zhao Lin still had a calm face, "Go back and tell you the Great Khan, and let him think about my conditions." ”

"This is his only chance, if he doesn't take it well, there won't be a second chance in the future!"

The minister retired. ”

"I hope Your Majesty will not regret it. ”

Timur's eyes were gloomy, in his opinion, Zhao Lin had gone crazy, so arrogant, he would surely bring about his own destruction!

With a cold look in his eyes, Timur took the Mongol mission and withdrew from the Jinluan Palace.
