"What General Xu said, Ben Khan naturally knows. This is by no means a decision that can be made in a moment, nor is it something that can be done by the general's promise."

"What does the Great Khan mean?"

Xu Yanqi looked at Shuo Lei suspiciously.

"General Xu came here this time, and he must have some understanding of the situation in Mobei. I hope that after going back this time, I can say a few good words for our department, and Ben Khan will be grateful. When the time comes, there will be a generous gift that will be delivered directly to General Xu's home, and it will not be known to anyone."

"Hmm~" Xu Yanqi reached out and touched the beard on his chin, looking like he was lost in thought.

Shuo Lei didn't bother him, and stood quietly waiting for him to speak.

"Great Khan, this matter should be considered in the long run. Da Ming has the strength to sweep everything at the moment, take Mo Nan Mongolia as an example, whether it is the powerful Khan or the slightly weaker tribes like Horqin and Tumut, they have long realized a problem, that is, Da Ming cannot be an enemy.

Like Korqin and Tumut, they unconditionally surrendered to the Ming Dynasty early, and the Hudun Rabbit, who tried to take the chestnut from the fire, wanted to suck blood from the Ming Dynasty, and was unwilling to pay, led the sweat to extinction.

There is a saying that I really shouldn't say from my standpoint. But the Great Khan has to understand one thing, cooperating with the Ming is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger. Maybe in a few years, the land under your feet will become Ming's.

At that time, how will the Great Khan deal with himself? is willing to be the same as Horqin's Badali, and was crowned king by the Ming Dynasty. Or will you fight back until the last moment?"

After speaking, Xu Yanqi stared straight at Shuo Lei, waiting for his answer.

In any case, Shuo Lei didn't expect Xu Yanqi to say this.

That's too real.

It's completely inconsistent with the old woman's cunning character in the past.

But the questions that came out were so sharp that he really didn't know how to answer.

Yes, with the strength of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to annex Chechnya, it is really not a difficult matter. They didn't even have to do it themselves, just the increasingly powerful Korqin next door was enough for them to drink a pot. Asking them for refuge now is really seeking the skin of a tiger.

But the problem is that if you don't seek help from them now, how to maintain independence in this desert north is an urgent problem at the moment.

One is to be annexed earlier.

One is to be annexed later.

How to choose is indeed a question.

"At this point, Ben Khan won't be able to answer your question for a while. But at the moment, we in Chechnya really need the protection of the Ming Dynasty. As for the future, I hope that the two of us will have the opportunity to sit down and talk. We, Chechnya, really don't want to repeat the mistake of sweating. He also does not want to let the herdsmen under his rule fall into the flames of war, and the people are struggling to make a living.

If General Xu returns, can you present this letter to your Imperial Majesty?"

As he spoke, Shuo Lei took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Xu Yanqi.

Xu Yanqi looked at Shuo Lei, and then looked at the letter in his hand.

After doing it for a long time, I came prepared.

Co-authoring so much silver is for me to be a post officer.

"Great Khan, you can't do this. Sending only one letter to the past doesn't it seem that Chechnya is very insincere? If you really want to get Your Majesty's approval, you have to send an envoy to Beijing to face the saint. Otherwise, do you think that a letter can make His Majesty decide such an important matter? Is it possible?"

"Here, send a messenger? I didn't plan to do it before..." Shuo Lei's face was embarrassed, you are about to leave, who are you looking for at this juncture?

"If the Great Khan doesn't have a suitable candidate, I recommend one to you?"

"You recommend?"

"yes, isn't that ready-made?"

Xu Yanqi pursed his mouth and looked in the direction of Wuliji.

"Uliji?"

"yes, what's going on these days, isn't he here to negotiate with us? I think he's good, he's smart, he speaks well, and he can bend and stretch. Perfect for being the messenger of the Great Khan."

"So, it seems like that's what happened. And that's him?"

"The Great Khan looks at it."

"Okay, that's it! General Xu will wait for another half a day, and I will go back to prepare some more gifts, since I am going to Beijing to meet your Emperor Majesty, I can't go empty-handed!"

"This... It's fine, but faster."

After the two finished discussing, they walked back together.

Shuo Lei stopped Uliji and walked back.

"Great Khan, what did Xu Yanqi say? Did you say yes?"

"He said he couldn't be the master, and he had to report this matter to their Emperor Majesty."

"What then? Their emperor is so far away from us, and most of the half a year has passed since the news came and went, so I don't know what will become of this Mobei, what should we do?"

"That's right, but the 100,000 taels of silver are worth it. Only then did Xu Yanqi persuade us to send an envoy to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to personally meet Emperor Chongzhen. When the time comes, I will talk about my request, move it with affection, understand it with reason, and find a way to persuade Emperor Chongzhen to agree to support us. Only in this way can we survive unharmed in Mobei."

"That's fine, but you have to be careful about the choice of this messenger. Not only must you be bold and careful, but you must also be eloquent. Does the Great Khan have a candidate in mind?"

"There it is."

"Oh? Who is the Great Khan going to send?"

"You."

"I... Me!?" Uligi almost jumped up in shock. "Think twice, I'm as timid as a mouse, stupid as a pig, it's hard to take on this big responsibility, and I ask the Great Khan to find another suitable candidate!"

"If you can't find it, it's you, you don't have to shirk it. Ben Khan went back and ordered someone to prepare gifts, and at noon you set off with the Ming army to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to meet Emperor Chongzhen. This time, no matter what price you use, you have to find a way to get Emperor Chongzhen to agree to protect us. Otherwise, you won't come back! Remember!"

"Remember, remember."

"Believe in yourself, Ben Khan is optimistic about you."

Coming to the war horse, Shuo Lei patted Wu Liji's shoulder, turned over on the horse, and walked away in a puff of smoke.

Here, as soon as Xu Yanqi went back, Lu Chengqi asked him if he could go, and got Xu Yanqi's negative answer, repeating the conversation with Shuolei just now.

"This guy wants to seek refuge in the Ming Dynasty? Isn't that the rabbit sending the child to the tiger to save his life in order to escape the wolf?"

Lu Chengqi was happy when he heard it, and made an inappropriate analogy.

Xu Yanqi glared at him, so frightened that he quickly suppressed his smile.

"As long as His Majesty's mind does not change, no matter what he does, he will not be able to change the outcome of the fall of Chechnya. If he had figured it out earlier, there would have been fewer deaths in Chechnya, but if he hadn't figured it out, then there really wouldn't have been a chance to understand."

"Then why did the general soldier persuade them to enter Beijing?"

"Just give them a glimmer of hope. At present, the strength of Chechnya and Tushetu has been greatly reduced, will Zasaktu be able to hold it? In order to protect themselves, perhaps Chechnya and Tushetu will form an alliance against Zasaktu.

[In view of the general environment,

But if Chechnya has the hope of being protected by the Ming Dynasty, will it still form an alliance with Tushetu?

It's better to mess up this desert north."
