Ming politicians

(Thanks to xoyunmu and Quiet Youth for their precious monthly votes, and thanks for the rewards who chose to take the middle route without going left or right. Thank you. Readers are kindly requested to vote, thank you.)

Liu Ji got off his horse and didn't ask the team to move on. He paced back and forth on the grass and snow, obviously thinking about something. Could it be that God blessed him when he came to the grassland this time, so he discovered the clue and thought about it for a while? Afterwards, Liu Ji did not waste time, and quickly stood beside the war horse, took out the paper, pen, inkstone, ground the ink hard, and began to write vigorously. Sometimes, it is better to predict the seriousness of the situation than to let the bad things really happen. broke out.

Half an hour later, Liu Ji ordered the ten soldiers around him.

"Bring this letter, you quickly return to Fort Anning, and deliver this letter to Mr. Sun Yuankun in person. The speed must be fast without the slightest delay. No matter what method you use, even at the cost of your life, you must ensure that Send this letter to Fort Anning, you set off now, and the guide will go with you."

Of course, the soldiers who accepted the mission understood the importance of this letter, and without the slightest delay, they collected the letter, mounted their horses and headed back, followed by the guide. Liu Ji was still familiar with the rest of the journey. Sergeants of the Xibe nationality, they can reach the Xibe garrison smoothly, and it will not be difficult to find a guide who is familiar with the path of the grassland.

Watching the figures of a dozen or so people disappear at the end of the grassland, Liu Ji's expression was still very serious.

At this time, many soldiers.Surrounding him, Liu Ji looked at many soldiers.I spoke slowly.

"Brothers, our task this time has become dangerous and arduous. If my prediction is correct, the Xibe tribe and the Daur tribe are about to fight. No matter which tribe wants to do it first, it will be a big battle." A huge disaster. Our task now is to do our best to prevent this disaster from happening, at least we need to delay the time, maybe we will be hostile or even assassinated, will you be afraid?"

Everyone's expressions became solemn.Everyone shook their heads, but no one spoke. At this time, even if they were afraid, they had to bite the bullet and face the coming danger. [

"Okay, as long as we are united, we can always find a way. According to the distance, we can reach the Xibo tribe's camp at night. You follow me all the time. We are a whole. At any time There are too many of us to be able to separate. Presumably no one has the guts to openly attack us."

In fact, Liu Ji was also guilty. After all, he had never really experienced such a danger, and he was far from being calm and composed, but Liu Ji was full of confidence. That was the strength of the Jiangning Camp and Su Tiancheng's bravery. Ever since Su Tiancheng conquered After the Xibe tribe and the Daur tribe, Liu Ji is clear about everything he has done, including everything he has done before. It can be said that no one has such a great ability in the world. If Xibe The tribes of the Daur tribe or the Daur tribe really wanted to rebel, and they suspected that they were asking for a dead end. Even if the worst ending happened, it was not because Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying had spent more thought and effort to conquer step by step. Grassland, step by step to defeat the post-Golden Tartars.

With the support of this kind of confidence, Liu Ji handled things more calmly.

However, the situation is different, and Liu Ji needs to make a lot of preparations. If the Xibe tribe is determined and really wants to attack the Daur tribe, I am afraid that their visit will trigger the Xibe tribe's leader. Don't feel uneasy, or even take some drastic actions. There are too many uncertain factors on the grassland. It is very common for a team of hundreds of people to disappear in the grassland or in the snowstorm. Responsibility may not necessarily be traced to Mo Chuai's head, maybe they will disappear without any reason.

Fortunately, Liu Ji had already sent the letter back. At this time, if something unexpected happened to them, with that letter, Su Tiancheng could understand what was going on and what measures to take.

Liu Ji was robbed once, and he knows the habits of the Mongolian tribes very well. Those herdsmen have two sides. They are simple and honest, but at the same time, they don’t care about the consequences. If they violate their own interests, they will not think about the consequences. Decisive and brutal, without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing the tents of the Xibe tribe from a distance, and even seeing the smoke rising from the kitchen, Liu Ji tried his best to calm down his mentality, and told himself to be steady, not to panic, and to find a suitable opportunity to meet Mo Chuo face to face. Tell Mo Chuu the dangers of doing so, and warn Mo Chui not to act rashly.

The sudden arrival of the Jiangning battalion sergeant disrupted Jia Jihan's deployment.

Through uninterrupted efforts, Mo Chuan finally made up his mind to launch a full-scale attack on the Daur tribe. This attack will take the form of a sneak attack, and the time will be determined according to the weather conditions. It is best to start when it snows Attack, at such a time, the soldiers of the Daur tribe would hide in the tent and warm up, and would never think of someone coming to attack.

Mo Chuan didn't make any specific arrangements. Jia Jihan was coordinating everything. The sergeants were sent out to investigate in a few places that needed to launch an attack. The intelligence returned from the investigation was handed over to the main commander for analysis. .

Seeing the success, Jia Jihan knew very well that once the investigation was over and the battle plan was drawn up, it was time to launch an attack.

However, Liu Ji brought the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion to the Xibo tribe's resident.

The so-called guilty conscience, Jia Jihan didn't know the purpose of Liu Ji and others coming to the tribe, so he naturally thought that his arrangement and deployment had been exposed. If this happened, he would act first and kill Liu Ji and others, Launched an attack on the Dauric tribes.

Jia Jihan was aware of Mo Chuu's nature, and it was impossible to ask Mo Chui to act decisively. Mo Chuu would definitely not do it. He had to do such a thing by himself. There were some trustworthy tribal officers and sergeants by Jia Jihan's side. Both officers and sergeants have received many benefits from Jia Jihan, and there is no problem in arranging some secret matters.

Jia Jihan thought over and over again. If Liu Ji and others were killed, there would be two consequences. One is that the Jiangning camp will hold the Xibe tribe accountable, and even launch a large-scale attack. The other is to ignore them. Pretend not to know about this matter, so as not to damage the relationship with the Xibe tribe because of trivial matters. [

The biggest advantage of being able to kill Liu Ji and others is to make Mo Chuo give up. He must attack the Daur tribe with all his strength, strengthen his own tribe, and gather extraordinary forces. Even if the Jiangning battalion is about to attack, it may not necessarily There will be a catastrophe, and Su Tiancheng's plan to attack many tribes in the grassland will fail completely.

Just when Liu Ji and others entered Mo Chuo's tent, Liu Ji had already summoned some officers to discuss secretly in his tent.

Mo Tuo never thought that Liu Ji would come to the tribe's resident at this time, and despite being astonished, he still warmly received him.

Liu Ji was very direct, straight to the point, and told Mo Chuan that Lord Su Tiancheng was determined to attack the grassland tribes. This time, the action was the cooperation between the Jiangning Camp, the Xibe tribe and the Daur tribe. After a month, depending on the situation of the attack, the three armies will join forces and directly attack the Horqin and Chahar tribes. As long as they defeat the leading tribes on the grassland, the next expedition will go much smoother.

Hearing what Liu Ji said, Mo Chui's eyes lit up. Being able to fight on the grassland, defeat many tribes, and then unify the entire grassland and become the overlord of the grassland, this is what Mo Chui dreamed of. Since the Ming court and Su Tiancheng Agreeing to attack other tribes in the grassland, it proves that the opportunity of the Xibe tribe has come.

But Liu Ji's next request caught Mo Chuai off guard and felt frustrated.

Su Tiancheng demanded that during the conquest of the grassland, mass killings are not allowed, and the killing is not allowed on the premise that the opponent has already surrendered, and Liu Ji especially emphasized that this is a rigid requirement that cannot be violated.

Mo Chuan's idea is to launch conquests on the grassland. Firstly, he wants to be the great sweat on the grassland and let the Xibe tribe permanently rule the grassland. , amassing a large amount of wealth.To achieve these two goals, large-scale massacres cannot be avoided.

But Su Tiancheng's request was very clear, and the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion also had to participate in the battle.

The most unacceptable request for Mo Chuan was that Sun Yuankun and Liu Ji would come to the Xibe tribe and the Daur tribe to coordinate this attack. This made the Xibe tribe lose many opportunities to strengthen their own strength.

Mo Chuan was very aware of the fighting power of the Jiangning Camp. Even now, Mo Chuai was still terrified, knowing that it was difficult for his tribal soldiers to compete with the Jiangning Camp, let alone Su Tiancheng's resourcefulness.

After Liu Ji finished speaking, he looked at Mo Chuai quietly. He didn't say anything else hastily. At this time, the chances of saying other things were not very good, not to mention that Mo Chuai could not admit it at all.

After a while, Mo Chuai spoke up, expressing his firm support for the decision of the Ming court and Su Tiancheng. The Xibe tribe will make all preparations and cooperate with the Jiangning camp to start the conquest on the grassland .

Seeing Mo Chuan's statement, Liu Ji stood up and said goodbye. The tent was ready, and Liu Ji made a request. The soldiers who came this time lived in three tents. The three tents had better be connected together. Mo Chuo had no other considerations, and agreed without hesitation.

When he walked out of the tent, Liu Ji felt a little heavy in his heart. He felt that Mo Chuo's promise was not so forthright, as if he was a little dissatisfied. I'm afraid I won't accept the arrangement so easily. (to be continued...)
