Chapter 9 Battle of Qingcheng (I)

The news of the Ming and Mongolian armies' competition also reached Taisong's ears. The first few competitions were in a competition nature, and were basically held in a restraining atmosphere of friendship. Although Chahar Mongolia lost more and won less, the Guanning Iron Cavalry was the most elite cavalry in the Ming Dynasty after all, and Chahar Mongolia only sent second-rate cavalry troops. Even if they lost, even if they had some resentment and dissatisfaction, they had nothing to say.

The next competition is different. The elite cavalry directly under the Chahar Central Army, facing the Guanning Iron Cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, was the first time that the two sides had contacted each other, and there would be a battle between them!

"Brother, why do you do this?" Taisong looked at Lin Danhan and asked. If Wu Sangui, Yan Peiwei and the two thousand Guanning Iron Cavalry had any damage, it would be difficult for her to explain to her husband after she went back. She also knew that her husband was a man who would rather die than suffer losses. If Wu Sangui and Guanning Iron Cavalry lost or suffered any damage in the competition, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty and Chahar would meet one day in the future. This is what Taisong is most afraid and unwilling to see. The matter of this competition was directly planned and provoked by Lin Danhan, so she became angry with her brother. When she heard the news, she immediately ran to Lin Danhan's golden tent to question it.

Lin Danhan was also very unhappy. His sister Taisong got married and suddenly became elbows and turned out without thinking about his elder brother-in-law. He immediately said coldly: "Sister, this is my brother's gold tent. Idle people are not allowed to enter without any reason. If you break in like this, you still talk to your elder brother like this. If you don't think that you are already someone else's person and the identity of a guest, I would have to order someone to take you down and punish you for your crime of trespassing!"

"Okay, brother, since you said that, I'm not polite, sister." Taisong's heart sank. The elder brother who used to care for her and loved her was no longer there. His eyes almost rolled down. His pretty face said with grief, "Sister, I'll ask you something as a guest, as a guest?"

Lin Danhan also knew that he could not break with the Ming Dynasty. If it weren't for the fact that the Ming Dynasty's envoy had been too cruel when he talked about further alliances with the envoys of the Ming Dynasty these days, and he ordered people to send messages to his sister Taisong several times, hoping that she would mediate, but they were all turned away. How could Lin Danhan not be angry? Naturally, he became more angry when he saw Taisong coming to question him, and he was even more angry. It would be strange if he had a good face? But after all, he was not a foolish superior. Losing the support of the Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly a worse injury to the Chaharmony who is strong outside and the middle. The reason why he came up with such a competition was to add some bargaining chips to the negotiations, and to show his own force to shock several tribes that were ready to move, and to warn those who are enemies with Chaharmony that he is the overlord of the Mongolian grassland.

As for the reaction of the Ming court, he could see clearly that as long as he agreed to this competition, no matter how badly he lost, he could only swallow the bitter wine himself. For the sake of the country, it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to refuse this competition, so he also took a small revenge on the Ming Dynasty.

"I just ask if there is anything about Concubine Kang, and Ben Khan sounds like that." Lin Danhan sat on the tiger skin golden throne and said.

"Why should we let the two armies compete and sign a life-and-death case!" Taisong asked.

"This is voluntary between the two sides. Besides, the two armies have competed many times before. They signed a life-and-death case because they were afraid that there would be any damage that would affect the relationship between the two countries. What's the matter?" Lin Dan lowered his head and looked at the playful Jinbei in his hand.

"This competition is different from the past. It is all real swords and guns, and many people will die." Taisong said angrily. Even in the previous competitions, even in the team training, they were all wooden swords and guns. Even casualties were limited. There was no death incident. However, this competition was a real battle between real soldiers. Only the victorious side could survive, and the defeated side would only die.

Of course, if one side admits defeat or surrenders, there is no need to compete.

"There is no death in the two armies' competition!" Lin Danhan looked at Taisong coldly and said, "The general will inevitably die in front of the formation. The weak are not qualified to become a warrior."

After all, Lin Danhan never thought that he would lose, so he couldn't listen to Taisong's advice at all. He even thought that Wu Sangui, who was so magical and brave in the Three Army, was simply a person who deceived the world and thieves. He didn't want to compete and brought Taisong out so that he could persuade himself to change his decision.

"Brother, Wu Sangui and Yan Peiwei escorted my sister back to Mongolia to visit her. I can't let them get back with another slight damage!" Taisong was so cold that his brother's attitude that he was, and the strong temperament of the Mongolian woman suddenly appeared.

"Sister, don't be stupid. This is your home, and your brother is your relative. Even if the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty treats you well, will he be better than my brother?" Lin Danhan walked down from the Jinzhao and persuaded, "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not a concubine. Besides, he has more concubines than his brother. There are countless people in three palaces and six courtyards. Although you are my sister, you have a respectable status here, but when you arrive in the Ming Dynasty, you are just an ordinary concubine, with no relatives or trust in it. If it weren't for the big tree of the elder brother, would you be favored?"

After hearing this, Taisong was a little shaken. He said that ruthlessness is the most emperor's heart. If he hadn't been a little valuable to him, would he be like this to him?

Seeing that Taisong was a little moved by himself, Lin Dan hurriedly said, "Sister, think about it, although you were born with beautiful beauty, in Mongolia, I don't know how many men want to marry you, but there are many Han Chinese beauties in the Southern Dynasty. I heard the photos that the palace maids around the emperor were all beautiful in the world. Although my sister stands out in Mongolia, she may only be a public figure when she gets there, and it's just an ordinary person."

After hearing this, Taisong's defense suddenly became a little relaxed. The words said by the eldest brother Lin Danhan were not unreasonable. She always felt that the emperor had more desires for her than love, and perhaps some true love, but she was not sure, so she suddenly became worried about gains and losses.

"Sister, brother is your eternal home. As long as this home does not collapse and becomes stronger and stronger, you Concubine Kang will become more and more glorious, do you know?" Lin Danhan said in a straightforward manner.

"Brother, what do you mean?" Taisong subconsciously continued. No matter how smart a woman is, she is somewhat slow to encounter emotional problems. This is also the most vulnerable place for women. No matter how deep she is hidden, once she is hit, the trauma will be huge.

"This time, as long as your elder brother wins, I will have the capital to negotiate conditions with the Ming Dynasty. As long as the elder brother is stronger, the more favored you will be, and the higher your status in the Ming Dynasty Palace." Lin Danhan smiled. He used the theory of constant deciding a king, but although Zhu Yinglong became the emperor, he was a person three hundred years later. Some theories are applicable, but some may not be. Therefore, Lin Danhan's theory is correct, but only half of it. Even if Taisong does not have such a strong family, since he married her, he must take the responsibility of being a husband. This is the minimum moral bottom line and the minimum respect. This is something Lin Dan will never understand.

"But, in case of casualties..." What Taisong was most worried about was the huge casualties that the two thousand cavalry might have in the competition. They were here to protect themselves, and they could not lose their lives because of a temporary battle of will. Besides, this battle was initiated by her own family, and she could not escape responsibility no matter what.

"Sister, don't worry, brother has his own sense of responsibility." Lin Danhan promised.

Since childhood, no one can change my brother's decision. This time, Taisong failed to change Lin Danhan's decision. Instead, he returned to his tent with a lot of sorrow.

With Wu Sangui's personality, how could he ask Taisong to persuade Lin Danhan to change his decision? This is related to the face of the Ming Dynasty. Even if the two thousand Guanning Iron Cavalry die in the end, they will have to face the challenge.

The men of the Ming Dynasty are also bloody!

He was worried that Taisong went to see if Lin Danhan would have any changes, which caused the two brothers and sisters to be disagreeable, so he hurried over to see Taisong with Yan Peiwei.

"General Wu, General Yan, I am incompetent and cannot persuade my elder brother to change his decision." As soon as I saw Wu and Yan, Taisong said with great guilt. This is a major event that concerns the lives of two thousand people. Even if Taisong was moved by Lin Danhan, she would not be indifferent to the major event that concerns human life.

Taisong's return was already in Wu and Yan's expectation. Now the news is spreading so quickly. The whole Mongolia is afraid that Lin Danhan will not take back his life just for the sake of face.

This is the first time Wu Sangui encountered such a thing as rushing the ducks on the shelves, but there was no way out. Fortunately, Lin Danhan gave them ten days of rest. Taking advantage of this rest time, he can summarize his experience of fighting with the Mongolian army in the previous stage. It is better than being blind when he was in the battle.

"Empress must be worried. The empress and General Yan have their own ways to deal with it." Wu Sangui hurriedly comforted him when he heard this.

"It's all my incompetent. After I go back, I will definitely apologize to the emperor in person." Taisong said excitedly, feeling vaguely that every night of loving love is not fake, but it really appears in front of her.

"Grandmaster relaxes. Although the Mongolian cavalry is invincible, it has happened more than 300 years ago. I am still very confident in our Iron Cavalry of the Ming Dynasty. Even if I lose, I will not lose to it." Yan Peiwei said loudly.

"General Yan is right. If we are right about kung fu, we may not be as good as them, but when we get to the ground, they may not be our opponents!" Wu Sangui's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, when it comes to defense and close combat, our army is better than the Mongolian army." Yan Peiwei smiled.

Taisong looked at Wu and Yan, and suddenly felt a sense of worry about his brother Lin Danhan from the bottom of his heart. His brother didn't plot against others, and he was afraid that he would make wedding clothes for Daming? What should I do?

Should I tell my brother what Wu and Yan said just now? As soon as this seductive thought came to my mind, it was severely extinguished. Wu and Yan were close ministers around her husband. Only the three of them heard what they said just now and were lost in the fourth person's ears. If Wu and Yan found that their brother had already had a solution to the problem, the person who leaked the secret must be himself, and there would be no one else. If the news came to her husband's ears, it would be a cheating enemy and treason. This is an unforgivable crime. Unless you stay in the grassland for the rest of your life and bless Chahar Mongolia not to be destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, you will be dead and will also implicate your daughter in your infancy!

When she thought of her daughter, Taisong instantly felt like a basin of cold water pouring from head to toe. She was swaying between her brother and her husband, and ignored her, that was her biological daughter. There was no biological flesh in this world, so she clearly understood that brothers and husbands were unreliable, and daughters were reliable, so she could only stand on her husband's side and betray her own brother.
