Chapter 705 Differences
Lin Danhan was very angry. This letter was definitely a threat of nakedness. Thinking of the hateful point, he couldn't help but clench his fists.
The content of this letter was beyond the expectations of others in the tent of Khan. They also stared at Lin Danhan with wide eyes.
"How does the national master read this letter?" Lin Danhan tried hard to calm down his emotions and said, "The good mood he had been in the past few days was gone all of a sudden.
Sharba Hutuktu was in a dilemma. This was indeed threatening Lin Dankhan. He should have denounced Huang Taiji, but this letter did threaten Lin Dankhan's key points, and Sharba Hutuktu couldn't refuse easily.
"... Speaking of which, it is indeed as Huang Taiji said. Now outside this pass, there are three kingdoms. The Ming Dynasty is strong, that is, Wei Cao, the Khan and Huang Taiji are weak, just like Shu Han and Eastern Wu... The key is whether the Ming Dynasty will really not let the Khan go as Huang Taiji said. This is a very important thing. Moreover, whether Huang Taiji will really surrender to the Ming Dynasty is also very important. Only by knowing these two can we say that it is an alliance or not..." Sharba Hutuktu thought for a while, and immediately made a clue for Lin Dan Khan.
Lin Danhan was silent. He was not sure whether the Ming Dynasty would really cause trouble for him. He once believed that the Ming Dynasty would definitely not let him go, but after receiving the continuous support of the Ming Dynasty, Lin Danhan's thoughts were shaken again, and he was also accused of the Ming Emperor of the past. He felt that the situation he thought might not happen. But now, Huang Taiji undoubtedly brought this matter up, making him face a choice again, whether to believe in the Ming Dynasty and continue to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty; or to believe in Huang Taiji, and instead form an alliance with Huang Taiji to join forces to keep warm in order to protect himself?
Lin Danhan was hesitant and extremely difficult to bear.
"That day, I will be a minister, what do you think?" Lin Danhan asked his old minister in distress.
That Rino opened his eyes, and except for his eyes full of energy, he was always an old man who was about to dry up the lamp.
"Sweat, be cautious, be calm, be calm, be calm. The wind on the grassland is blowing strangely..." The old man did not say whether he could form an alliance, but just said these words like a murmur.
Lin Dahan was so worried that he could only turn his attention to the national teacher Sharba Hutuktu.
"National Master, what Huang Taiji said is true or false, and he will not surrender to the Ming Dynasty. How likely is this matter?" Lin Danhan asked.
"The Khan, based on the blood feud between the Jin and the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji wanted to surrender, but I'm afraid it's unlikely..." said Sharba Hutuktu.
"That is, is Huang Taiji lying? But he said that Liaoyang City had been given up, and Shengjing might be given up as the sincerity of peace talks. What does the national master think about this matter? If Huang Taiji really surrenders to the Ming Dynasty, then there will be only Ben Khan on the grassland. It seems that he will fight against the Ming Dynasty..." Lin Danhan was also shaking by Huang Taiji's words.
"Khan, there is no need to worry. Although Huang Taiji gave up Liaoyang City now, his actual strength and damage were actually caused. Now he said that he was fighting the Ming Dynasty, but he actually had no serious fight. Since his strength was not greatly damaged, Khan, we Mongols can live with water and grass, but Huang Taiji may not be able to do so. Huang Taiji can deceive the Ming Dynasty, but he cannot deceive the people on the grassland..." Sharba Hutuktu said.
"The national teacher makes sense," said Lin Danhan.
"However, the Khan, the Ming Dynasty had already taken over the right-wing tribes of Mongolia, and now occupied the Wordus and controlled the Dongshengwei before the Ming Dynasty. It had the intention of re-entering the grassland. The Khan could not regard the threat from the Ming Dynasty as nothing?" said Sharba Hutuktu.
"The national teacher means that the Ming Dynasty will definitely re-enter the grassland and will definitely be enemies with Ben Khan? In other words, only Huang Taiji can form an alliance..." Lin Dankhan's thoughts were shaken again, and he did not believe that the Ming Dynasty's consciousness once again prevailed.
Sharba Hutuktu was actually hesitant, and he could not ignore the consequences of breaking with the Ming Dynasty. He did not have the courage to bear this consequence. If he broke with the Ming Dynasty and turned to an alliance with Huang Taiji, it would just give the Ming Dynasty an excuse. In the future, he would be cleaned up by the Ming Emperor in one breath, and there would be no place to yell.
Faced with the strength of the Ming Dynasty, Sharba Hutuktu was not only hesitating, but also planning his own way of retreat. Lin Danhan seemed to be unreliable. Not only could he not compete with the Ming Dynasty, but even Huang Taiji, who was beaten by the Ming Dynasty, could not beat him. If this continues, it would be a result of being swallowed up. So where should he go? Who has a greater chance of winning? Who is he going to surrender?
"...No, khan..." Sharba Hutuktu quickly rejected his previous meaning and was preparing to use another set of rhetoric to prove another meaning. The chaos and struggle in his heart were inadvertently expressed.
"What does the national teacher mean?" Lin Danhan asked quickly.
"Khan, Emperor Ming may not be at ease with good intentions, but what about Huang Taiji? Is this person safe? This person is the wolf on the grassland! If he forms an alliance with this person, is the Khan confident of dealing with Huang Taiji?... Speaking of which, Emperor Ming's reputation is still guaranteed, but what about Huang Taiji?" Sharba Hutuktu's remark was completely opposite to the previous remark...
"What does the national teacher mean?" Lin Danhan asked again, and his trust in the national teacher Sharba Hutuktu made him happy to obey the national teacher's opinions.
"Khan, no one can believe it, no one can rely on it; he can only believe in himself, only rely on himself..." Lin Danhan's old minister suddenly said with an excuse.
"That day is the minister..." Lin Danhan heard That day is the one and looked at That day is the one in surprise.
Sharba Hutuktu was a little surprised. It seemed that there was something in his words, and it seemed to be an intention to open fire at him. But when he looked at Hina, Hina had already closed his eyes and continued to close his eyes to rest. Perhaps it was not targeting him, Sharba Hutuktu thought of this again...
"Khan, the minister said that day. Now Huang Taiji is unreliable and cannot believe it; Minghuang cannot fully believe it, and must be guarded against Minghuang, but cannot break easily with the Ming Dynasty. Now Ming and Huang Taiji are fighting, so let's see the results first. Or, after Huang Taiji's strength is greatly damaged, you will take the initiative to take the initiative to fight..." Sharba Hutuktu originally wanted to leave a way out for himself, and guide Lin Danhan in a way that is beneficial to him, but inadvertently expressed his inner chaos, which aroused Sharba Hutuktu's alertness. Sharba Hutuktu knew that Lin Danhan was not the only one around him, but had a great influence on Lin Danhan. There was also a loyal old minister who could not express his intentions too much, and everything would be based on Lin Danhan's interests. Here, he had to be careful...
"Well, the national teacher makes sense... Ben Khan also thought that breaking apart with the Ming Dynasty seemed to be very unfavorable to Ben Khan. Huang Taiji is a wolf. When dealing with the wolf, he can only wait until the wolf loses its strength. Otherwise, the evil wolf will always pounce on and bite people." Lin Dan Khan himself also had his own considerations and dealt with the three-sided relationship. Although he was also in trouble and had a headache, he still had his own basic bottom line and would not easily step out of the bottom line. After listening to the opinions of his several advisers, he also strengthened his opinion.
"Then the national teacher thought that this letter would continue to be sent to the Ming Emperor where to ask for more things, or would he have a relationship with Huang Taiji?... Although Ben Khan did not intend to form an alliance with Huang Taiji, he did not want Huang Taiji to fight. He could tell him that he would transfer all his troops to fight with the Ming Dynasty. Ben Khan promised not to send troops to retake the ranch he snatched. In this way, Huang Taiji and the Ming Dynasty would definitely fight even more miserably..." Lin Danhan seemed to remember something and said with a smile.
"No..., Khan, it's not appropriate to have any contact with Huang Taiji for the time being. Since he has formed an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, then concentrate on forming an alliance with the Ming Dynasty. Don't easily arouse the Ming Dynasty's suspicion and make a complaint for the Ming Dynasty. If Huang Taiji is a person who is interested, he should not send someone there. He naturally should know what to do. As for the pasture, Khan, he should not be in a hurry. Everything should be waited for the Ming Dynasty to decide the winner and defeat between Huang Taiji, at least he had to wait for Huang Taiji to lose his strength,..." National teacher Sharba Hutuktu temporarily removed his selfishness and took the standpoint of Lin Danhan again to make an idea for Lin Danhan.
"Well, the national teacher makes sense, and it is indeed not reckless..." Lin Danhan accepted the national teacher's advice.
"...Khan, don't send this letter to the Ming Emperor for the time being..." Sharba Hutuktu removed his selfish thoughts, and his mind was obviously running much faster.
"Why?" Lin Danhan asked.
"Khan, don't believe in Huang Taiji, but you must also beware of the Ming Dynasty. If the two families can be killed by life and death, that is the best. With the urgency of Huang Taiji's letter, I'm afraid there will be a big battle in Liaodong..." Sharba Hutuktu said with a smile.
"Oh, why did the national master say that?" Lin Danhan asked.
"Khan, just imagine, if Huang Taiji had not been forced to speak in such a tone, would he have spoken in such a tone? He would have revealed the trump card in his hand? I guess Huang Taiji felt that there was not much time and was eager to form an alliance with Khan, so he would never talk about Shengjing..." Sharba Hutuktu removed his selfishness, and his mind immediately became more exquisite, and he seized many places that ordinary people could not find.
"Well, when the national master said this, Ben Khan also felt that it made sense. Then, there will be a big battle between the Ming Dynasty and Huang Taiji..." Lin Danhan asked with a smile.
"It's..." Sharba Hutuktu said affirmatively.
The minister did not nod, shook his head, nor opened his eyes, and said nothing, but just stood quietly.
...
Liaoyang.
This is already the military camp of the Ming Dynasty army.
Some time ago, due to rumors, the morale of the army was a little disintegrated. Now the rumors are cleared and the morale of the army is back.
Qin Liangyu was holding a war meeting again. Qin Liangyu was in a difficult situation for the content of this meeting.
"Everyone, now the rumors have been curbed and the morale of the army has been restored. With the intention of the command, when an offensive is organized as soon as possible, it is best to completely drive the Donglu into the grassland..." Qin Liangyu said.
"Commander-in-chief, it is true that the Tartars cannot be better. Now the grassland has turned green. Give the Tartars one day to restore their strength, so the Tartars will be stronger. When they drive the Tartars into the grassland, this seems..." Mao Wenlong also said in embarrassment.
"Commander-in-chief, but the war is about to begin..." Man Gui said anxiously.
"Everyone, according to Your Majesty's arrangement, the Tartars would have been a long time. Unexpectedly, the Tartars were seeking death by themselves, and they actually wanted to shake our army's morale with rumors and almost caused a disaster. Since that's the case, we have to teach the Tartars a good lesson. This commander intends to ask the Pavilion Master as soon as possible, or to launch an attack as soon as possible to drive the Eastern Captains into the grassland. If possible, it's better to cut off one of the Tartars' strength. Otherwise, the implementation of Your Majesty's strategy will be particularly dangerous..." Qin Liangyu said, looking quite embarrassed.
Several officials agreed with Qin Liangyu's statement that, according to the arrangement, after occupying Liaoyang, there would be a relatively long harassment process, which would continuously consume the strength of the Tartars, prevent him from grazing, producing, and would not attack the Tartars' nest soon. However, the Tartars used vicious plans and conspiracies to almost reverse the war. Since this is the case, it is naturally impossible to make the Tartars have a better life.
"The commander-in-chief said very much. This time he was almost plotted against the Tartars. Fortunately, the court responded in time, so the rumor was stopped in time... The fact of this war is dangerous and there should be no play. The officials thought that the Tartars should be subdued as soon as possible..." Hong Chengchou also said with lingering fear. This rumor incident shocked Hong Chengchou very much. Hong Chengchou dared not think about the consequences of the wavering of the army's morale now, but he expressed his words to agree with Qin Liangyu's words.
"The commander-in-chief is right. Although our army has captured two cities in a row, in fact, it has not confronted the Tartars head-on, and the Tartars' strength has not been greatly damaged. The Tartars have been shrinking, while our army continues to move forward, the front line is getting longer and longer, and the troops will gradually become weaker. If we find an opportunity for the Tartars, we may have a big problem..." Mao Wenlong also agreed. This rumor incident also scared him a little. Now he supports not giving the Tartars too much living space, although this is somewhat inconsistent with the emperor's plan.
"Well, you guys make sense..." Qin Liangyu said, as the frontline chiefs, they had the most direct feeling about the war. Their ideas and actually conflicted with the emperor's strategy. They wanted to attack the old lair of the Donglu immediately and force the Tartars to fight to the decisive battle to achieve the goal of resolving the Tartars. Even if they were not solved all of them, they should solve some of them. Otherwise, the Tartars with unscathed strength would always be a big problem and a threat to the army was too great. There was also a prerequisite for implementing the emperor's strategy, that is, to ensure their own safety, but they may not be safe now. As the front line extends, there will be more and more flaws. If a flaw is found for the Tartars, it would be a big trouble.
There is a difference between the actual situation and the emperor's strategy, and Qin Liangyu is not sure whether to fully implement the emperor's plan or do it according to her ideas. After thinking about it, Qin Liangyu felt that he had to do it according to her own ideas. The emperor was too far away from here and did not understand the actual situation here, and could not provide guidance in real time. Since the emperor arranged for her to be the commander-in-chief, he must have considered that such a plan would be in deviation from the actual situation. Since she was entrusted to command the war with full authority, she naturally hoped that she would take this responsibility. Now, Qin Liangyu felt that it was time for her to take responsibility.
