Chapter 936. Ring after ring.

……
When Zhao Junchen and Liang Fuchen left the room, Bagan's mind kept thinking about the same question - should he first pretend to agree to cooperate, wait until he regained his freedom, and then break the contract and turn his face?
The unruliness of the Mongols in their bones, as well as Bagen's hatred for Zhao Junchen, made him unwilling to be led by Zhao Junchen by the nose no matter what, nor did he want to see Zhao Junchen successfully realize his plan.
But after thinking about it for a long time, Bagen reluctantly found that there seemed to be only one path to go in front of him - that is, to act honestly according to Zhao Junchen's plan.
Other than that, Bagan doesn't have much more options.
Just like what Zhao Junchen just said, the Dzungar cavalry does not have the ability to supply logistics on the grassland, and the tribes of the steppe are also full of hostility to them, so Bagen cannot directly lead the Dzungar cavalry back to the Western Regions without doing anything, otherwise it will only make the Dzungar cavalry annihilated under the heavy encirclement of the Mongolian right flank.
From a selfish point of view, Bagen can be said to be a loss of troops this time, if there is no gain, after he returns to the Dzungar Khanate, he will inevitably be severely punished by Geerdan, and it is likely that his life will not be guaranteed.
Therefore, for Zhao Junchen's plan, Bagen could not abandon it.
Of course, there is another way to sabotage Zhao Junchen's plan, that is, after Bagen returned to the grassland, he informed the Mongolian right wing of Zhao Junchen's plan in its entirety, and chose to re-cooperate with the Mongolian right wing, so that Zhao Junchen could steal chickens and rice!
But there are three obvious problems with this choice.
First of all, there was the hatred between the Dzungar Khanate and the Mongolian right wing.
In the past year, first the Dzungar Khanate sent troops to attack the steppe, forcing the Mongolian right wing to bow down, and then during the decisive battle of Weishui, the Mongolian right wing rebelled, causing heavy losses to the Dzungar cavalry.
In particular, the opposition of the Mongolian right wing has become a pimple in Bagen's heart - compared to the enemy in front of him, everyone is more hateful of the traitors around him!
Perhaps while Bagen was thinking about this issue, the Mongolian right wing had already sent troops to encircle and suppress the Dzungar division of troops on the steppe, and the hatred between the two sides would only get deeper and deeper!
Therefore, unless it is a last resort, it is difficult for both sides to put aside their hatred and cooperate again!
Secondly, there is the issue of trust between the Dzungar Khanate and the Mongol right wing.
The Dzungar Khanate did not trust the Mongol right wing and always wanted to annex them; The Mongolian right wing also did not trust the Dzungar Khanate, they were well aware of the Dzungar Khanate's ambitions, and they had been secretly guarding against it.
Therefore, even if Bagen informed the Mongolian right-wing of Zhao Junchen's plan, the Mongolian right-wing might not believe it immediately; Even if the Mongolian right wing believes Bagan's statement, it does not mean that the Mongolian right wing will eventually let Bagen and the Dzungar army go.
In particular, after several losses of the Dzungar cavalry, the strength is already weaker than the Mongol right wing, once Bagen chooses to cooperate with the Mongol right wing again, it will inevitably be a situation where the main force is strong and the guest is weak, and maybe it will lose its autonomy and be forced to do some thankless things - for example, it is to fight as a vanguard and consume troops with the Han army, while the Mongolian right wing is to stay in the rear and reap the benefits.
At that time, the Dzungar army will once again lose its troops, and it is difficult to say how much vitality it can keep.
When the Mongolian right wing and the Dzungar Khanate join forces to repel the Han army, the Mongolian right wing is afraid that it will be ruthless again.
If it were to be replaced, Bagan would definitely do it, so Bagan believes that the Mongolian right-wing alliance leader Qiyan will definitely use the same method.
Finally, and most importantly, there is the distribution of benefits after the war.
If Bagen chooses to cooperate with the Mongolian right wing again, the only benefit that the Dzungar Khanate and the Mongolian right wing can reap is the 200,000 stone grain and grass.
200,000 stone of grain and grass seems like a lot, but it is also a very embarrassing number, and it will only be able to fill half of the Mongolian right-wing's winter food shortfall this year.
As far as the Mongolian right-wing is concerned, after obtaining this batch of grain and grass, if they grit their teeth and slaughter a batch of cattle and sheep that have not yet been raised, and take out their savings from previous years, they may be able to survive the cold winter this year.
Therefore, even if they will not turn their faces ruthlessly after the war, they will never distribute this batch of grain and grass to Bagen and the Dzungar Khanate.
At the same time, the situation of the Dzungar Khanate is similar, and after obtaining this batch of grain and grass, there is still hope that it will survive this winter, even if it is a little less, so Bagen does not want the Mongolian right wing and the Dzungar Khanate to jointly divide this batch of grain and grass.
In this way, even if the two sides can cooperate closely in the early stage, they will definitely turn their faces after the war because of this batch of grain and grass.
Never underestimate the madness of the steppe peoples fighting for food during natural disasters!
In short, if Bagen chooses to cooperate with the Mongolian right-wing again, he will not only hand over his fate to the Mongolian right-wing, but also be thankless, and may be betrayed a second time.
In this way, after thinking about it, Bagen found that he had only one way to cooperate with Zhao Junchen!
According to Zhao Junchen's plan, as long as Bagen could escape in time after grabbing this batch of grain, it would not be easy for the army of the Mongolian right wing to catch up with them; Even if the army of the Mongol right flank catches up with them, as long as Bagen holds out long enough, all the crises will be solved when the news of the changes in the Hetao Plain comes.
As long as the plan goes well, Bagen can not only keep the troops in his hands, but also enjoy the 200,000 stone grain and grass exclusively, although it also needs to bear a certain risk, but it is much better than other options.
Thinking of this, Bagan suddenly scolded a swear word, and then said viciously: "Since the Mongolian right-wing can cooperate with the Han Chinese, why can't my Dzungar Khanate?" Who on the grassland cares about the love of the same race? As long as you can keep your vitality and get food and grass, who is it not cooperation with? They were the ones who were the first to be unjust, and now don't blame me for being ruthless! ”
*
On the other side, after Zhao Junchen and Liang Fuchen walked out of the room, Liang Fuchen asked, "Junchen, do you think Bagen will agree to cooperate with us?" ”
Zhao Junchen nodded and said indifferently: "Judging by his reaction, there is a chance that he will not resist!" He is a person who knows how to consider the pros and cons, and he is a loyal person who takes the overall situation into account, this kind of person is not difficult to deal with, and he can easily understand his bottom line and position! ”
After a pause, Zhao Junchen said again: "This time, when targeting the Mongolian right wing, I certainly used conspiracy, but when facing Bagen, I used yang conspiracy...... I have put the best path in front of him, as long as he seriously thinks about it, he will find that cooperating with us is his only choice, only by cooperating with us, he can keep his vitality, reap the benefits, and the risk is also the lowest, otherwise it will only harm others and himself. ”
Hearing Zhao Junchen's statement, Liang Fuchen's expression was a little awkward.
When Zhao Junchen commented on Bagen, Liang Fuchen always felt that he was implying himself.
But Liang Fuchen did not continue to dwell on this issue, but said: "In this case, many things need to be prepared as soon as possible...... For example, those Dzungar prisoners in the prisoner of war camps must be selected as soon as possible, and they must not be left hungry, otherwise they will not be able to function after returning to the steppe...... There are also 200,000 stones of grain and grass, which also need to be prepared as soon as possible. ”
Zhao Junchen nodded and said, "I have prepared these things in advance, as long as Bagen is willing to cooperate with us, I can immediately move forward with the next plan." ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen showed admiration on his face, turned his head to Liang Fuchen and said: "Speaking of which, Liang Ge Lao's responsibility and courage are admired by the younger generations, if it weren't for Liang Ge Lao, you are willing to share all the risks and responsibilities in this plan with me, I am afraid that I alone will not have the courage to carry out this matter." ”
In Zhao Junchen's plan, in order to recover the Hetao as soon as possible and reduce the damage and obstacles, he not only gave 200,000 stone grain and grass to the Mongols, but also secretly released the most important captive Bagen, all of which were not communicated to the court in advance and were not approved by the court.
It's not that Zhao Junchen deliberately concealed the center of the court, but the distance between Shaanxi and Gansu and the capital is long, if you want to consult the court, it will inevitably take a long time, and the center of the court may not agree to Zhao Junchen's proposal at that time, and in the end it will only make Zhao Junchen miss the opportunity.
But whether it is to give 200,000 stone grain and grass to the Mongols, or to let go of the captive Bagen in private, these two things are not trivial, especially once there is an accident in this plan, 200,000 stone grain and grass and Bagen may all have to be lost, Zhao Junchen naturally does not dare to bear this responsibility alone, nor does he dare to take this risk alone.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhao Junchen is willing to let Liang Fuchen jointly implement such a plan with him, in addition to Zhao Junchen's belief that he will soon return to the capital and cannot preside over this plan for a long time, it is also because after having Liang Fuchen's joint responsibility, the imperial court will not pursue Zhao Junchen's private affairs too much.
In fact, after Zhao Junchen has the merit of annihilating the Mongol coalition army, he has to face a situation of no reward in a short period of time, even if he gets the merit of recovering the Hetao, the benefits and benefits will not increase much, it can be said that the reason why Zhao Junchen will promote the plan to recover the Hetao is largely out of a public heart, so Zhao Junchen is not willing to take too many risks and responsibilities for this.
On the other hand, after hearing Zhao Junchen's admiration and praise, Liang Fuchen said with a serious expression: "This plan is indeed a bit risky, but if it is successfully realized, when the soldiers go out to conquer the Hetao in the future, the casualties and losses can be reduced by at least six or seven percent, and the time for the imperial court to recover the Hetao can also be reduced by half, in comparison, it is only 200,000 stone grain and grass and some prisoners as a price, this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and the old man is naturally duty-bound!" ”
Liang Fuchen didn't seem to want to compliment each other with Zhao Junchen, so he turned back to the topic again, and said: "Once this plan is successful, we will naturally get the greatest benefits, but the Dzungar Khanate has also retained its vitality and obtained grain and grass, so that they can survive this year's cold winter, gradually recover their vitality, and will definitely make a comeback!"
At the same time, after such a plan of yours, the right wing of the Mongols will inevitably lose its vitality and will no longer be able to resist the annexation of the Dzungar Khanate...... Galdan, the khan of the Dzungar Khanate, is an ambitious person, and he is afraid that he will become a big trouble for the imperial court in the future! ”
As he spoke, Liang Fuchen's expression was full of worry.
Zhao Junchen's total annihilation of the Mongol coalition army this time did have an element of luck, to a large extent, due to the Mongol coalition army's contempt for the Han army, but if the Dzungar Khanate was restored, and then unified the Mongolian steppe, and the Mongol coalition army was formed again to make a comeback, the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu were afraid that it would be difficult to resist.
Liang Fuchen has a long-term vision, and he is naturally a little worried when he thinks of this.
Zhao Junchen didn't care, and said with a smile: "It's also to blame the junior for not making the plan clear yesterday...... In fact, against the Dzungar Khanate, the younger generation also ambushed the backhand! ”
Liang Fuchen was slightly stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Oh? What's the back hand? ”
Zhao Junchen said slowly: "This time, the junior took out 200,000 stone of grain and handed it to the Mongolians, this figure was not randomly conceived, but after detailed consideration!"
For the Mongolian right-wingers, this batch of grain is only half of their winter food shortfall this year, so they will inevitably be secretly filthy because of this batch of grain;
At the same time, for the Dzungar Khanate, this batch of grain is only enough for their own people to barely fill their stomachs, but the people of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions and Mobei under their rule are afraid that they will not be able to distribute any food! In this way, the relationship between the Junggar tribe and the ethnic groups in the Western Regions and Mobei will further deteriorate, and the internal hidden dangers will be further deepened! ”
After a pause, seeing Liang Fuchen's thoughtful expression, Zhao Junchen smiled slightly, and then said: "Moreover, there is still a chess piece in the hands of the juniors, which will soon be of great use!" It just so happens that the younger generation is going to meet with this chess piece, does Liang Ge want to go with him? ”
Zhao Junchen's appearance of deliberately selling Guan Zi made Liang Fuchen a little disliked, but he still didn't show his emotions, just nodded and said: "Since it is so important, the old man naturally wants to see it with his own eyes." ”
Zhao Junchen said with a smile: "Elder Liang Ge, please come here!" ”
After speaking, Zhao Junchen led Liang Fuchen towards the other end of the Governor's Mansion.
The two came to the other side of the Governor's Palace, and Liang Fuchen found that several soldiers were quietly guarding a room, apparently with important people in this room.
After Zhao Junchen nodded to Liang Fuchen, he walked to the door of the room and raised his hand to knock lightly.
Then, Liang Fuchen heard someone in the room say in Mongolian: "Come in!" ”
With this voice coming, Zhao Junchen and Liang Fuchen pushed the door in.
Then, Liang Fuchen saw an old man dressed as a different race sitting at the round table in the room.
After the old man saw Zhao Junchen, he hurriedly got up to greet him, with a flattering smile on his face, and said a lot of flattering words in Mongolian.
Zhao Junchen pointed to this old man dressed as a foreign race, and introduced to Liang Fuchen: "Liang Ge Lao, this person's name is Su He, and he is the leader of the Zhuchagatai tribe of the Western Regions. ”
Hearing Zhao Junchen's introduction, Liang Fuchen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he vaguely understood Zhao Junchen's thoughts.
Then, seeing that Zhao Junchen wanted to talk to Su He, Liang Fuchen once again took the initiative to undertake the translation work.
Zhao Junchen still looked harmless with a smile, and after a chat with Su He, he suddenly changed his words and said: "Leader of Su He, Your Excellency and the warriors of Zhuchagatai abandoned the darkness and surrendered to the light on the battlefield of Weishui, and resisted the invasion of the Dzungar Khanate together with our Han soldiers, so deeply aware of the righteousness, I am really grateful!" ”
Su Yiyi has always been able to bend and stretch, and hurriedly smiled: "Our Chagatai tribes have not been angry with the brutality of the Dzungar Khanate for a long time, and we also admire the martial arts of the Han army very much, and it is our honor to join forces with the Han warriors to deal with the Dzungar Khanate!" ”
Zhao Junchen smiled more and more, and said: "According to the original agreement, after the Zhuchagatai cavalry is in battle, we will also ensure that you leave the territory of the Han people safely, but considering that the Zhuchagatai tribe was once a member of the Dzungar Khanate, and was also hostile to the tribes in the steppe, if you want to return to the Western Regions smoothly, I am afraid that it will be in danger." ”
After hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Su He also had a worried face.
Since surrendering to the Han army, Su He has been thinking about how to return to the Western Regions smoothly, but has never found a way.
Seeing Su He's gloom, Zhao Junchen continued: "But here, I want to tell the leader of Su He a good news, about half a month later, our Han army will go out to the grassland, attack the Ordos tribe, and recover the Hetao Plain!" At that time, the entire grassland will be in chaos, and no one will care about the Chagatai cavalry, so you can take this opportunity to return to the Western Regions! In order to show the sincerity of our Han court, I will also give you a batch of grain and grass, so that you don't have to worry about logistics and supplies on the way home! ”
Hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Su He suddenly showed ecstasy, and thanked Zhao Junchen again and again, only feeling that Zhao Junchen kept his promises, respected his allies, and was a kind person.
However, without waiting for Su He to further express his gratitude, Zhao Junchen said: "By the way, there is one more thing to inform you, after the commander of the Mongolian coalition army, Bagen, was captured, he has already expressed his willingness to surrender, and when the Han army goes out to Mongolia, Bagen will also lead the Junggar army on the steppe to help...... Because of Bagan's sincerity, I have decided to forgive him for his crime of invading the territory of the Han people, and after the Han army has subdued the Hetao Plain, I will also release Bagen and return to the Western Regions! ”
As Zhao Junchen's words fell, Su He was suddenly stunned, and his face suddenly turned pale.
According to Su He's wishful thinking, with the annihilation of the Mongol coalition army in the Weishui battlefield, no one can prove that Su He had betrayed, so after Su He led the Zhuchagatai army back to the Western Regions, he could still become the "obedient people" of the Dzungar Khanate, and everything would be safe.
But now, if Bagen is allowed to return to the Western Regions in the same way, Su He's betrayal can no longer be hidden, and the entire Chagatai tribe will need to face fierce retaliation from the Dzungar Khanate, and it may turn into a disaster of extermination.
"Y-How can you do that? The Chagatai tribe is already an ally of your Han court! How can you betray us? Once Bagen is allowed to return to the Western Regions, the entire Chagatai tribe will be wiped out! Is this how you Han people treat your allies? ”
Su He stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhao Junchen, and said emotionally.
Zhao Junchen's smile remained unchanged, and he said: "According to the original agreement, your Chagatai tribes fought against the water on the Weishui battlefield, and our Han court let you live, and now we have fulfilled our promises, and even took the initiative to fund you with a batch of grain and grass as supplies...... As for my decision to return Bagan to the Western Regions, this is an agreement between us and Bagan, but it has nothing to do with your Chagatai tribes! Now that we have informed you in advance, it is already out of kindness, and you should be grateful! ”
After a pause, Zhao Junchen saw that Su He's body couldn't help trembling, obviously angry to the extreme, but said meaningfully: "Actually, your Chagatai tribe can also be regarded as a great clan in the Western Regions, so why do you need to be a slave to the Dzungar Khanate?" After the first battle of Weishui, the Dzungar Khanate is also greatly damaged, if you can contact all the ethnic groups in the Western Regions to resist together, it may not be impossible to overthrow the brutal rule of the Dzungar Khanate! Taking a step back, even if you are unwilling to rebel against the Dzungar Khanate, the Great Khan of the Dzungar Khanate is not only Geldan, and now he is recruiting troops at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains. If the Chagatai tribe can be protected by vain schemes, why should they worry about Geldan's revenge? ”
After speaking, Zhao Junchen turned around and left.
After leaving Su He's room again, Liang Fuchen thought about Zhao Junchen's methods today, although he had never liked compliments and politeness, he still couldn't help but admire: "Junchen, you have used the Mongolian right wing to deal with the Dzungar Khanate for a period of time, and then used the Dzungar Khanate to deal with the Mongolian right wing...... Such a combination of vertical and horizontal means, one after another, I am afraid that it is not inferior to Su Qin Zhangyi in the Spring and Autumn Period! ”
When he was admiring, Liang Fuchen's eyes flickered slightly, but the vigilance and vigilance against Zhao Junchen in his heart were deeper.
Zhao Junchen shook his head and smiled: "It's just a little trick to take advantage of the situation, where do you dare to compare with the sages." ”
Liang Fuchen shook his head and said: "The words 'guide according to the situation' seem to be simple, but how many people can see the trend of 'potential' and 'benefit'?" Junchen doesn't have to be too humble. ”
In this way, when the two complimented each other, the relationship seemed to be warmer.
*
After Liang Fuchen and Zhao Junchen returned to the lobby of the Governor's Palace, seeing that the time was already noon, Liang Fuchen invited Zhao Junchen to dine together, and Zhao Junchen naturally readily agreed.
The two are the top two people in Shaanxi and Gansu, but their lunch is still very simple, just two meats, two vegetables and one soup plus two portions of rice.
In this regard, Liang Fuchen and Zhao Junchen were unimpressed, and just discussed the follow-up plan while eating.
After another quarter of an hour, both of them had their stomachs full, and Zhao Junchen was going to get up and say goodbye.
As soon as Zhao Junchen got up and was about to speak, he saw Zheng Yu, the acting chief soldier of the Huamachi camp, hurriedly entered the lobby of the governor's mansion and reported: "Qi Qi two lords, Guan Wu Yuanguan commander has led the forbidden army reinforcements from Jiezhou City back to the Huamachi camp, and now they have arrived ten miles south of the Huamachi camp, do the two adults want to personally come forward to welcome the forbidden soldiers back to the camp?" ”
