Tumen Khan thought for a moment, and said secretly: Could it be that Hannaji wants to borrow a knife to kill people and borrow my hand to get rid of Toto?

But this thought only passed in a flash, because it didn't make sense: there were 40,000 iron horsemen in Hannaji's headquarters alone, and the people were more than ten times that of Tokhtar, and there were also Dabansheng City and the 100,000 Han'er in the city as the foundation, plus he himself was the bloodline of the Golden Family, no matter in strength or name, it was far from being comparable to Tokhta, so what was he worried about Tokhtar?

Totoku can help him at this time, his position is already clear, he is not good at enveloping is a manifestation of brain water, if he still suppresses it with his backhand, then unless he is out of his mind! Even if that idiot named Polha Rabbit survives, it won't be stupid to that extent, right?

Therefore, the speculation of killing people with a knife is definitely not valid.

Then there is only one possibility, and the move of Hannaji and Tokhtar has been discussed beforehand.

Tokhtar was extremely active yesterday, and almost pulled out the main tactics of the Mongolian cavalry, but because his opponent was also a Mongol cavalry, and there was an obvious advantage in strength to suppress it, no matter how hard he tried, he could only be forced to retreat in the end.

If Burihatu had not analysed the attenuation of their forces, then the move itself would not seem to be a big deal, since one hypothesis might be true:

That is, Hannaji and Totok, who were in a position of disadvantage in terms of troops, decided to test the strength of the opponent first, and then decided whether to fight hard, so they first sent Tokhtar to lead the elite out to test - this is possible, because no one in Hannaji's camp dares to say that he can fight better than Totok, so it is the safest thing to test the opponent's strength in the battle.

And with the ability to escape, even if you can't beat it, you won't be able to escape, and you can ensure that there will be no big loss in strength.

However, since the previous Buzhhatu found that the forces of Hannaji and Tokhtar had been reduced by a part, this possibility is much lower, because the first one has become the other two:

First, where did the Great Khan's escort led by Zhongjin Hatun go? Second, what is the purpose of fleeing south without fast or slow Hannaji and Tokhtar?

Tumen let out a turbid breath and said in a deep voice: "In other words, Chechen Khan's escort was sent to set up an ambush somewhere in the south in advance, and Hannaji and Tokhtar are now just bait?" ”

Buzhihatu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Yes, the minister thinks this is the most reasonable guess." ”

Tumen nodded slightly, thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "But Ben Khan remembers that the number of Chechen Khan's guards is not very large, it seems that there were only more than 20,000 horses in the past, less than 30,000, right?" With Hannaji and Tokhtok now having more than 30,000 men on hand, and even if the Great Khan's escort had 20,000 men in ambush somewhere in the south, his total strength would not exceed 60,000, so why did he think that he would be able to win by luring Ben Khan to the south? ”

Buthihatu shook his head and said, "Maybe they don't necessarily think they need to 'win'. The Great Khan, for Hannaji, he does not have to defeat the Great Khan, as long as the Great Khan can retreat - whether it is repulsed or forced back, or dragged until the Great Khan has to retreat - it is a victory for him. ”

Oh, too, to make Hannaji just want to be Tumut Chechen Khan, as long as he retreats, no one can compete with him for his position, but he doesn't have to defeat himself.

"So, lead Ben Khan south to the middle of the ambush, let Ben Khan suffer a small loss, and then retreat to Chahanhot, this is the plan to take Hannaji?" Tumen asked, narrowing his eyes.

"There is this possibility, but it is not ruled out that he hopes that after leading the Great Khan to ambush, he can inflict heavy damage or even defeat the Great Khan, so that even if he does not dare to do anything to the Great Khan, at least he can establish his prestige. Therefore, the minister meant that the most basic expectation of Hannaji was to force the Great Khan back, and if there could be greater results, of course he would not want it. ”

"Humph! It's a beautiful idea. Tumen Khan sneered, thought for a while, and said, "Although Ben Khan is not afraid of his ambush, he doesn't let him have any chance of succeeding!" ”

Burihatu's eyes flashed and he asked, "Isn't the Great Khan going south?" ”

Tumen Khan snorted and said, "No, Ben Khan plans to play in another place now." ”

Burihatu asked, "Does the Great Khan want to be naturalized, or is it a big bansheng?" ”

Tumen Khan was slightly stunned and asked, "Why two?" ”

It turned out that his meaning was very simple, since he might encounter an ambush in the south, he would not go south, continue the westward expedition, and go to take the Naturalization City. Naturalization City is the Khan Court and the Royal Court of Tumut, and taking Naturalization is not only a good reputation, but it also means that you can master Zhongjin Hatun, and at the same time, you can also get the body of Meda - currently suspended in Dazhao Temple.

With the remains of Zhongjin Hatun and Alta, plus that he is the Great Khan of all Mongolia, it is justified to announce that Xin Ai will succeed to the throne of Chechen Khan. When the time comes, Zhong Jin Hatun and the rest of the Taiji can only surrender one after another. Under the influence of one and the other, the power of Hannaji and Tokhtar declined.

Tumen even thought further at once: if they really did this, maybe they could negotiate with Hannaji and give him a Tumut Jinong (Tumut Deputy Khan), which would have greater benefits - although Xin Ai had the name of the Great Khan, his strength was greatly damaged, and if he wanted to maintain the situation, he had to rely on his own support; And although Hannaji was not a big loss in strength, he couldn't defeat Xin Ai, who had the name of Chechen Khan and his own support.

As a result, a delicate balance has been formed throughout Tumut, and both sides have to act according to their own faces in order to maintain their identity and strength. In this way, the influence of the Han people on them will naturally decline, and there is still hope for the revitalization of the Great Mongolia!

But Burihatu also mentioned the promotion of Dabansheng City just now, which made Tumen Khan understand that Buzhhatu must have another idea.

This kid is a talent, but I want to ask him what he thinks.

So Tumen Khan smiled and continued to add: "Isn't it better to let the closer naturalization not take it, but to take the big board and ascend to the city?" ”

Burihatu smiled slightly and said, "That depends on the Khan's ambitions. ”

Tumen Khan was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Burihatu said lightly: "If the Great Khan just hopes that Tumut can settle down and not make trouble for the Great Khan, then it doesn't matter whether he fights Daban and ascends to the city." But if the Great Khan had greater expectations, such as...... To unify Mongolia, then it is better to fight naturalization than to fight Dabansheng first. ”

Tumen Khan gasped in his heart, and forced himself to calm down and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Buri Hatu smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Defeat naturalization, master Zhongjin Hatun, and let the minister's Echige succeed to Chechen Khan, it is indeed possible to balance the imbalance of power in Tumut, and in the future, Chechen Khan and Dacheng Taiji will be hostile to each other, and no one will have the strength to make trouble for the Great Khan, but that's what the Great Khan can do." ”

Tumen Khan was silent, waiting for him to say the benefits of playing a big board and ascending to the city.

Sure enough, Burihatu continued: "But it is different to fight the big board to ascend to the city, the big plate to ascend the city is the foundation of Hannaji, as long as the big plate to ascend the city is taken by the Great Khan, the foundation of Hannaji will be lost, and even the existing troops may not be able to feed." Although the Ming people have the ability to support him, but without the big board to ascend to the city, Han Naji is still not worthy of the support of the Ming people, it depends on what the Ming people think.

If Chechen Khan told the Ming people that as long as the Ming people supported him to unify Tumut, he would open the mutual market, otherwise he would return to the situation of more than ten years ago when the two sides attacked each other, and the minister thought that the Ming people would definitely consider the benefits and harms. ”

Oh...... There is also such an idea.

Tumen Khan couldn't help but glance at Buzhihatu again, his idea can be described as using the sharp weapons of the Ming people to deal with the Ming people, the real "the way of the other is to give back to the other" - the mutual market is naturally important to Mongolia, but for the Ming people, it is also very beneficial, even if not to mention the economic benefits, just say that the mutual market ended the war between the two sides, the Ming people should think about it.

After Tumut formed the confrontation between the left and right posts that he had just envisioned, as long as Chechen Khan refused to exchange markets and attacked and disturbed at every turn, the Ming people must be unbearable, and then he proposed to ask the Ming people to support him in unifying Tumut, and Tumut would resume all the plans of the mutual market, presumably the Ming people would not refuse.

However, what does this have to do with the unification of Mongolia? Isn't this a wedding dress for Xin Ai?
