Chapter 802: Li Dingguo's plan to seek the moon

Liu Xingming responded calmly and said, "Sengge Khan, I am helping the relatives or not. I will help anyone who is right, and now it is obvious that Junggar is right."

Sengge Xin said that this Han man is really good at speaking. The black ones can make him say white, and the white ones can make him say black.

Obviously, Liu Xingming wanted to be inclined to the Junggar side, otherwise he would not go directly to the Junggar direction after entering the Western Regions, rather than Yarkand.

From this point of view, what he said was somewhat credible.

But being a little credible does not mean being completely credible. After all, there are also many twists and turns in the belly of the Han people.

Sengge did not intend to take huge risks to cooperate with Liu Xingming. He still had to explore Liu Xingming's foundation first.

"So, the envoy is really my distinguished guest. However, I wonder how many people the envoy brought this time?"

"One hundred people."

Liu Xingming replied without hesitation: "It's all my followers. They brought some specialties from the Central Plains, which were given to Khan by His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

One hundred people?

Sengge was a little confused now.

This Han man is not trying to make his mentality.

"The special envoy was joking and only brought a hundred people. How could you make Yarkand return the corresponding ranch?"

Liu Xingming made a surprise statement: "Yarkang is also a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Since the emperor has given the order, they will return it, can they still resist the order and disrespect it?"

Sengge thought in his heart that Liu Xingming was pretending to be stupid or really stupid, and he was making trouble here.

"The special envoy didn't know that not all Western tribes were as loyal to the court as Junggar. Yarkand had always been dissatisfied with the Central Plains. If things were fine, they would never do it if they were asked to return the pasture."

"What Sengge Khan meant is that Yarkand would resist the orders and disrespect?"

Liu Xingming made an angry expression and said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, I really have to write a letter to order people to return to the Central Plains and hand them over to the capital for His Majesty's holy view."

"The Western Regions are far away from the Central Plains, and I don't know how long it will take to go back and forth. If the special envoy does this, it will probably have to wait a few months before he can get reinforcements."

Sengge made a helpless look.

"If you want to achieve immediate results, the envoy might as well write a document as the Ming Dynasty court to denounce the Yarkand to occupy the ranch of our Junggar and order them to return it. They will definitely not return it, and then Ben Khan can naturally raise an army to attack Yarkand."

It can be said that Liu Xingming erected a pole in front of Sengge, and Sengge climbed up the pole without hesitation.

Both sides cooperated very well, which Liu Xingming did not expect.

"It's simple. Your Majesty originally ordered me to reconcile the conflicts, which is considered as granting me the right to make temporary decisions. I will write this document."

Liu Xingming was afraid that Sengge would regret it, so he quickly slapped it to death like a nail on the board.

"It is really a great joy to have a tribe like Junggar who is loyal to the court and to His Majesty the Emperor in the Western Regions. I will definitely report it to the emperor afterwards and ask for merit for the Sengge Khan."

"Then thank you for the envoy."

Sengge nodded slightly

Dunhuang.

Li Dingguo had already received the third letter sent by Liu Xingming.

The letter clearly stated that Liu Xingming was about to go to the royal capital of Junggar. In the next period of time, the frequency of sending letters will be slower and the time interval will be longer. Please be mentally prepared by King Jin.

Of course, Li Dingguo was mentally prepared.

The Western Regions are so big that ordinary people can't imagine.

It is said that the horses are dead when they look at the mountains, and this is appropriate to be placed in the Western Regions.

Liu Xingming himself made such a great sacrifice and sneaked into the enemy alone, so Li Dingguo naturally could not stay in Dunhuang to enjoy the blessing of the Qing Dynasty.

In fact, he had sent people to investigate and touch the background of the Western Regions thoroughly.

Judging from the current situation, the strength of the countries in the Western Regions is basically the same as the guide described.

But one thing the guide didn't explain clearly is that the grudges between Junggar and Yarkand have been around for a long time.

The two sides are competing for grassland resources very fiercely, and they have reached a point of never ending.

Both sides win and lose, and no one can steadily over any other.

In this case, both sides must have a smell of gunpowder, and a raging fire can be ignited with just a little bit.

Before Liu Xingming set off, Li Dingguo had specifically instructed him not to express his ideas easily, but to counterattack according to the Junggar side.

Only in this way can it be difficult to arouse suspicion from the Junggar side.

After all, the Ming army gathered in Dunhuang and was in a relatively safe position, which happened to be the blind spot of Junggar.

As long as Junggar is not afraid of a large number of sentries coming to Dunhuang, it is impossible to discover this arrangement.

Li Dingguo's original plan was to wait until the Junggar and Yarkand fought, and then lead the main force of the Ming army to enter from Dunhuang, take over the Western Regions, and then implement the military camp system, and slowly restore the sense of identity in the Western Regions over a hundred years.

In this way, the Silk Road was unblocked and the Western Regions returned to the Ming Dynasty, Li Dingguo was able to explain to His Majesty the Emperor.

The problem now is that Li Dingguo ignored one thing, that is, the Western Regions were too big.

It was too long since the Junggar King traveled to Dunhuang, which determined that the communication between Liu Xingming and him could not be time-sensitive. Li Dingguo had to reverse the situation based on the time of the letter to judge what kind of state Liu Xingming was in now.

The same is true for Liu Xingming. When he received a reply from Li Dingguo, the letter must have been sent for more than a month.

This tests the tacit understanding between the two sides. No matter which link there is a problem, there will be immeasurable consequences.

Of course, Li Dingguo gave Liu Xingming the right to make a temporary decision, but that alone was not enough.

He had to calculate the time when the war between Yarkand and Junggar began, and then send troops into the Western Regions in advance.

In this way, we can occupy enough cities and gain advantages in the scene when both sides fight fiercely.

It is said that fishermen benefit from fighting against snipes and clams, but it also tests the time for fishermen to enter the market. It is not enough to be early or late.

Although Li Dingguo was a famous general who had experienced many battles, he had never fought in the Western Regions after all, and everything was about crossing the river by feeling the stones.

He could only tell himself secretly that as long as he walked at his own pace, there would be no big problems.

One month, one month is enough for Liu Xingming to persuade Junggar to send troops?

If this is the case, the time for Li Dingguo to send troops is the most appropriate one in about half a month.

Li Dingguo did not intend to have too much discussion with the Kuidong generals on this matter.

On the one hand, he was afraid that Liu Tichun would do some blind things because he was worried about his son's safety. On the other hand, Li Dingguo did not want others to influence his judgment at such a critical moment.

Everyone will speak freely when they make suggestions, and Li Dingguo will also be very decisive when they make decisions alone.

This is him, Li Dingguo, this is the God of War in the Ming Dynasty
