Chapter 444: Dirty Deals (1)
Yan Shifan's face did not change, and the evil one-eyed blinked: "Great Khan, righteousness is for friends, but can a person like Zhao Quan be considered a friend?" He just wants to borrow your Mongolian soldiers to realize his dream of being an emperor, and a person who has abandoned his own country and ancestors, where do you think he can be loyal to Mongolia? Now he has to be obedient because he needs the support of your Mongolian soldiers, and as long as he is full-fledged, he will definitely stand on his own. ”
"I think that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu Hongwu Emperor of our Ming Dynasty, at the beginning of the army, when his strength was insufficient, didn't he also accept the title of Dayuan and nominally submit to Dayuan? After he unified the south, he will raise the Northern Expedition and drive your Dayuan out of the Central Plains, so he has not let go, and continues to send generals like Xu Da and Lan Yu to lead the troops out of the fortress, sweep the desert, and completely defeat the forces of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and take the jade seal of the Northern Yuan Emperor. ”
Altan Khan's eyebrows moved, he sat back in his chair, and said in a deep voice: "Little Pavilion Elder, if you say this about your founding emperor here in Ben Khan, you are not afraid of punishing the Nine Clans?" ”
Yan Shifan laughed: "In the eyes, there is no Taizu, only the current emperor and the Great Khan, who are the kings, how can there be any righteousness at all, Zhao Quan relies on a group of evil people who pretend to be gods and ghosts - the believers think that they can rule the world, that is a dream, and it is impossible for me Yan Shifan to obey such rats, but the Great Khan is an eagle on the grassland, serving the Great Khan, and the Shifan is happy." ”
"Great Khan, in order not to make you infamous for betraying your men. There is a way to do it, if you think it is feasible, you can refer to it. That Zhao Quan went through this incident. The White Lotus Sect has been completely exposed, you are going to retreat to the desert this time, and it is impossible for them to do anything for the Great Khan in the future if they stay in our Daming. Why don't you bring all the White Lotus Sect members back to the desert when you retire this time and find a place to settle down? ”
Altan Khan didn't speak, but Helian Ba said in a deep voice: "Little Pavilion Elder, your abacus is playing well." On the one hand, let us openly accept these traitors of the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, we said that we would reopen the border trade, and finally if your emperor did not agree. You can also use this as an excuse, even if you know now that you can't recover Zhao Quan, you will leave an excuse for your master. forced us to hand over Zhao Quan to reopen border trade. Do you really think of it as a great sweater? ”
The wolf sighed secretly in his heart, this Helian Ba is really thoughtful, Yan Shifan's little Jiujiu broke him at once, this Mongolian invasion, the White Lotus Sect has made a great contribution, and after the fact, the emperor will definitely order Yan Song's father and son to crack the White Lotus Sect, and in this way. Qiu Luan secretly supported the White Lotus Sect, and his act of colluding with Altan Khan would definitely be stolen. As soon as Qiu Luan fell, Yan Song, who recommended him, naturally couldn't get out of it, Yan Shifan didn't dare to trouble the Mongols, but he hated Zhao Quan and the White Lotus Sect to the core, and he wanted to get rid of them quickly.
The top priority, first through the Mongolian retreat, coaxed Altan Khan to bring the White Lotus disciples back to the desert, to avoid the catastrophe in front of them, and then on this ground, refuse to open the border market, the Mongols have robbed enough this time, I am afraid that in three or five years, there will be no motivation to remobilize such a large army to invade, and if you want to open the border market in the future, the initiative will come to Yan Song, and when the time comes, you will come here to coerce Altan Khan to hand over Zhao Quan and other White Lotus disciples, even if you don't come to Zhao Quan, hand over some low-level sect members, and give an explanation to the upper and lower levels.
Altan Khan's voice sounded coldly: "Elder Xiaoge, what did General Helian of our family say, what do you think?" ”
Yan Shifan said calmly: "We said just now, we must be mutually beneficial, this is the way to long-term cooperation, that is, we can't just make a wedding dress for you, and you can't only take care of yourself, if our Yan family falls, and someone like Xu Jie controls the Ming Dynasty, I don't think you can live so comfortably in the future." ”
"This time, we must also have an explanation to the emperor afterwards, you said that you want to protect Zhao Quan's life, I have no opinion on this, but when the time comes, we must always leave some small fish and shrimp for me, so that I can hand over to the emperor, otherwise the emperor will investigate afterwards, Qiu Luan will be the first to get out of the matter, at that time, the things we are talking about today, whether it is to open a border market or smuggling, it is impossible to achieve, the population of the Ming Dynasty is more than 100 times that of your Mongolia, if there are one or two generals who will reorganize the army at the border pass, I am afraid that your Mongolian life will not be easy, Isn't it? ”
Alta Khan said sharply: "There is no need to say much about this matter, whether it is Zhao Quan or the White Lotus Sect, if I go back to the customs with me this time, Ben Khan will not hand over any of them." If your Yan family can't even solve this trivial matter, then you don't need to mess around, just grab some of your own people, and say that it's the White Lotus Sect? Do you even have to teach you this kind of thing? ”
Yan Shifan sighed: "Great Khan, if it weren't for the big trouble this time, your army would be under the city of Beijing, and it would be natural to catch a few people to go to the top tank, that is, in the past, Xuanda and the area were defeated, and the general army was killed in battle, it was only the defeat of the army, but now it is under the emperor's nose, and he can no longer hide it, and afterwards he will definitely let Jinyiwei also participate in the investigation and handling of the White Lotus Sect case." Lu Bing is not so easy to hide, he seems to have found something in Shanxi last time, although he did not explicitly say Qiu Luan this time, but he also hinted to me that it is best to draw a clear line with Qiu Luan, maybe after the war, he will thoroughly investigate the matter of the White Lotus Sect. ”
Helian Ba sneered: "I heard that you and Lu Bing are sons and daughters, political allies, and they joined forces to kill Xia Yan, this time he wanted to make a feud and Luan also greeted you first, what's the matter, is it that the old man of the small pavilion can't even put Lu Bing on the table?" ”
Yan Shifan shook his head: "Lu Bingqi will only be loyal to the emperor, after joining forces with our father and son to bring down Xia Yan last time, the cooperation has almost stopped, he went to Shanxi this time to check Qiu Luan and the White Lotus Sect, he didn't greet us in advance, and it was no longer concentric, if there was an opportunity to play the topic afterwards, he was not without the possibility of bringing down our Yan family." ”
Helian Ba frowned: "Bring down your own in-laws? Unlikely. Didn't you marry his daughter? Could it be that he can't bear to let his daughter be implicated with you? ”
Yan Shifan's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "Don't mention that slut, I would have sent her back to the Lu family a long time ago, damn, Lu Bing wants to borrow her daughter to spy on the truth of our Yan Mansion, and even her daughter is a Jinyi guard." The two of us turned around from that time on. ”
Helian Ba sighed: "I can't imagine the intrigue between you Han people, and you don't even let go of this kind of opportunity, it's really terrifying." ”
Yan Shifan sneered: "Isn't it the same on the grassland? Even the Great Khan, doesn't he also have to marry relatives and daughters to marry other tribes? This time, of the 50,000 troops of your Khan tribe, 20,000 are from the Kedun tribe, and only 30,000 are pure Altan warriors. ”
Altan Khan waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, they are all big men, don't talk about this kind of family matter, I won't hand over Zhao Quan and his subordinates, what else do you have to do?" ”
Yan Shifan lowered his head and thought about it: "Great Khan, otherwise, after Zhao Quan and them get out of the customs, let him send some people to sneak back to the customs, most of these people are Shanxi people anyway, and they have inextricable relationships in the local area, and then recruit some people to flee outside the customs, and then you reveal the news to me, I will go and arrest these people who want to defect to the customs as the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, so that it is not that you betrayed Zhao Quan." ”
Altan Khan was slightly stunned, and then raised his thumb and said: "Little Pavilion Elder, you can think of this method, it's really amazing." It's just that in this way, in the future, there will be no people in Shanxi who will throw themselves to the White Lotus Sect and us, and in the long run, we will still suffer. ”
Yan Shifan waved his hand: "No, this is not a loss for the Great Khan, those who run quickly are the people of the Ming Dynasty, those who are not your people, and I will not catch them all, at most I will run ten times to catch two or three times, and give our emperor an explanation."
