【Chapter 543】Forbearance, forbearance, forbearance
In fact, if the Mongols had dared to do this before, they would have been treated by the Tatars as an undying enemy. In these years, everyone loves face, under normal circumstances, who can accept such an insult? Especially Mo Yuegen and his subordinates, they have always been tigers on the battlefield, and they have always been the victors of wars. When has you ever been insulted like this?
But now, they have to come to terms with this fact. Unless they are not ready to cooperate with Lin Dan Khan. However, their Achilles' heel is here. If they don't put up with the current insults, their situation will be even worse than they are now. In the absence of adequate logistical supplies, it was difficult for them to even withdraw to their nest north of the desert.
Under Mo Yuegen's hint, all the Tatar high-ranking people had to endure this inhuman humiliation painfully. They all secretly swore that once they got through this difficulty, they would definitely want Lin Dan Khan to look good when they had the opportunity in the future. Dare to treat the Mongols like this, I simply don't want to get mixed up. In the eyes of the Tatars, the Mongols are a fart!
"Da Da Da!"
"Da Da Da!"
The sound of horses' hooves came slowly.
Surrounded by countless Mongol nobles in bright armor, Lin Dan Khan finally appeared.
The future golden khan of the Mongols, made a careful preparation for this meeting. He wants to show his power and status, and he wants to make Mo Yuegen feel his unhappiness. Therefore, everyone around him looked arrogant and had their nostrils facing the sky. They were richly dressed and magnificent, and they used all the decorations they could. The golden saber on everyone's waist is full of various ornaments that symbolize power and wealth.
If Xu Xingxia suddenly saw this scene, he thought that Lin Danhan had a neurotic outbreak, and he took a group of subordinates to set up a stall on the street. These people under his hands, the things hanging on their bodies are dense, just like sugar gourds. A few Mongolian generals who were not burly enough were about to be wrapped in these ornaments. It looks like a clown. The most rare thing is that they can still ride horses normally with so many ornaments hanging on their bodies. If the chengguan comes, they can turn around and run away.
"Humph!"
"Lin Dan Khan, you have a kind!"
Deep in Mo Yugen's heart, he couldn't help but hum softly.
He finally couldn't take it anymore. No way, this Lin Dan Khan is really a bit excessive. He just hoped to get some help from Lin Dan Khan, which was mutually beneficial and beneficial to the Mongols. But now it seems as if he was prostrate at the feet of Lin Dan Khan, begging Lin Dan Khan to spare his surname. It's too much.
Even Mo Yuegen, who was invisible, had such resentment in his heart, not to mention other Tatar high-ranking people. Barrett and Catavaro's fists were already clenched. They are all trying to control their anger. If they can't control it, they are afraid that the Tatars and the Mongols will fight on the spot. In the current situation, if the two sides fight hard, it will definitely be their Tatars who will suffer.
Berrion and Zarik, among others, were eager to speak. Only by speaking can they slightly ease the anger in their hearts. Now, however, they don't even have a chance to speak. The Mongol cavalry had approached less than ten zhang from them. Obviously, judging by the faces of the Mongol cavalry who were close at hand, they had no friendly attitude towards the Tatars. Vaguely, there is even some hostility.
This made the Tatar top brass even more uncomfortable. I said, we came with a cooperative attitude, when did you treat it as an enemy? Is there a mistake in this? If it weren't for the Mongol cavalry, which was already so close to them, even if they quietly bit their ears, the Mongol cavalry could hear it, and they would definitely burst out with anger in their hearts. Paralyzing, it's too much. I've seen it excessive, but I've never seen it so excessive.
Lin Dan Khan's body is dressed simply, and it looks particularly eye-catching in the gorgeously dressed crowd. He looked elegant, his demeanor was elegant, and he sat on horseback, as if he were a Confucian general of the Han people, and he almost didn't shake a feather fan in his hand. That's what he wants. The clouds are light and the wind is light, but they are strategic. The purpose of this is, of course, to distinguish us from a reckless man like Mo Yuegen: we are people with status, not rude people.
Of course, Mo Yuegen understood what Lin Dan Khan meant. In his eyes, he couldn't help but turn a trace of vicious resentment. Those who are familiar with him know that Mo Yuegen showed such a look, obviously hating Lin Dan Khan. Even, his hatred for Lin Danhan is still above his hatred for Xu Xingxia. In the future, if Lin Dan Khan falls into his hands, he will definitely be tortured to death wholeheartedly. If Lin Dan Khan died easily, it would not be Mo Yuegen.
In the past, the nobles who died at the hands of Mo Yuegen, no matter what tribe they were, the most extravagant thing they wanted was that Mo Yuegen could give them a good time. It's a pity that Mo Yuegen has never been. He is like a perverted executioner, torturing these nobles themselves, torturing their families, and especially the women who torture them, until the perverted psychology is satisfied. Therefore, in private, Mo Yuegen is also known as a demon.
Before, even in front of Xu Xingxia, Mo Yuegen did not show such resentful eyes. After all, the confrontation between him and Xu Xingxia belonged to the battlefield. It's normal for everyone to fight each other for different interests. There is nothing to say that the Tatars want to seize the town of Ningxia, and Xu Xingxia wants to defend the town of Ningxia. It can only be a knife to see blood. Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and if you are defeated on the battlefield, you can only say that your skills are not as good as others, but you can't resent anything.
However, no matter how resentful he was in his heart, Mo Yuegen had to squeeze out some "friendly", "sincere", and "grateful" smiles to show his sincerity. He jumped off the horse, took the initiative to come to Lin Dan Khan's horse, bowed to Lin Dan Khan, and expressed his deepest thanks and blessings. Then, he pulled the reins of Lin Dan Khan's horse with his hand, preparing to lead the horse for Lin Dan Khan. This kind of etiquette is indeed the highest standard. It is estimated that this is also the first time that Mo Yuegen has personally led a horse for others since his rise in more than 20 years.
However, in the face of Mo Yuegen's highest etiquette, Lin Dan Khan was on horseback and deliberately did not return the salute. When Mo Yuegen thanked and blessed him, he didn't seem to hear it at all. After Mo Yuegen finished speaking, he didn't say anything. Even, there was no indication of Mo Yuegen's initiative to lead the horse for him. It was as if he was just a groom in front of him. And for a groom, there is no need to pay attention. So, at the first moment of the meeting between the two sides, Lin Dan Khan completely ignored Mo Yuegen's existence.
"Grass!"
"Paralyzed!"
"It's too much!"
All the top echelons of the Tatars were almost angry.
Lin Dan Khan's arrogant and rude actions seriously angered them.
Originally, their hearts were full of fire, but they didn't have a chance to burst out. Now, Lin Dan Khan is so rude and rude, and the anger in their hearts is even more intense. At this moment, their hatred of the Mongols definitely exceeded their hatred of the White Coats. At this moment, they felt that Lin Dan Khan was much more hateful than Xu Xingxia. If it weren't for the Mongol cavalry around them, they would definitely pounce and scuffle with Lin Dan Khan on the spot. Paralyzed, without tearing his face, he still doesn't know how powerful the Tatars are!
Gui Yingcha also sensed that something was wrong. From the Tatars, he found a very strong anger. Apparently, the Tatars were enraged by the actions of Lindan Khan. The Tatar upper echelons are struggling to endure the anger in their hearts. If it is not the Mongols who control the scene around, but the Tatars, and even as long as half of them are Tatars, it is estimated that there are people among the Tatars who can't bear it and will be mad at Lin Dan Khan.
To be honest, Lin Dan Khan's behavior is indeed a bit excessive. This is not the proper attitude for exchanges between the two militaries. Annoying the Tatars, in fact, it did not do the Mongols any good. In the long run, it can even be very harmful. However, thinking of Lin Dan Khan, who was secretly annoyed that Mo Yuegen had deceived him, it is understandable that he is now retaliating against his surname for making such a move. The Buddha also has fire. Lin Dan Khan was unhappy in his heart, and he also needed to vent. At this time, it was impossible for him to persuade Lin Dan Khan to correct it. He could only secretly prepare to prevent the unexpected from happening.
At this time, the one who was in the calmest mood was Mo Yue's fundamental person. Anyway, Lin Dan Khan has already shown such an attitude, and it can't be worse. And he, in desperation, can only passively accept it all. At this time, he was not qualified to speak of conditions. As long as he can get through this difficulty, he can endure it again and again. To be able to become the most outstanding figure among the Tatars from a humble grassroots, his patience and kung fu are naturally unmatched. He can endure in the presence of others. In front of Lin Dan Khan, he can also endure.
Lin Dan Khan was finally willing to speak. He sat on the back of the horse and squinted at Mo Yuegen, who helped him lead the horse, with obvious disdain and a little triumphant in his eyes. And what about the Arrow God of the Tatars? usually boasts of great courage and invincibility in the world, but now it's not obedient to Lao Tzu? Cut, what's the big deal? It's just a groom who doesn't go into the stream. The previous legend about him must have been made up, a silver-like wax spear head! It seems that the Tatars are really not good, even such garbage can be fooled into the god of arrows!
With a trace of undisguised contempt, Lin Danhan said slowly: "Mo Yuegen, why are you here?" Aren't you in Gansu Town? How did you get so far away? By the way, the envoy you sent before didn't set off from Ganzhou City, right? By the way, they all had wounds, they must have been beaten by the muskets of the White Army, right? Did you suffer a big loss at the hands of the white-clothed army and had to leave Gansu Town? ”
Gui Yingcha had to quietly hint to Lin Dan Khan not to provoke the Tatars again. There's no need. In any case, Mo Yuegen is also the number one person among the Tatars, and his reputation is very good, and after his name, at least an honorific title should be added, calling the Great Khan, the Khan King, His Royal Highness or something. If you want to show a little affection, it should be called a reply. This is the most basic courtesy. However, Lin Dan Khan didn't have any name, and directly called Mo Yuegen's name, obviously treating him as a lower-class person. It would be strange that the Tatars could accept it.
As for Lin Dan Khan's words, it made Gui Yingcha even more embarrassed. Where is this what the two sides should say when they meet for the first time? This is simply a cold talk with a gun and a stick, and it directly peeled off a thick layer of Mo Yuegen's face. Even if Mo Yuegen's face is as thick as the city wall, he can't stand Lin Dan Khan's ridicule. Gui Yingcha had to carefully remind the generals around him to strengthen their vigilance to prevent Mo Yuegen from going crazy.
The strange thing is that after listening to Lin Danhan's words, Mo Yuegen didn't react at all. He has already left his anger, and he no longer cares about Lin Danhan's unreasonableness. At this time, it is useless to get angry. The most interesting way to do it is to silently bury the hatred in the bottom of your heart, and then return it ten times or a hundred times in the future. As if he hadn't heard Lin Dan Khan's words, Mo Yuegen said with a flattering smile: "I came here specifically to greet the Great Khan." ”
Lin Danhan said with some anger: "So, what is the situation in Gansu Town? ”
No matter how thick Rao is Mo Yuegen's face is, he can't answer this question head-on. If you tell the truth, he will lose all his face. If he lied, Lin Dan Khan would definitely ask for it, and he couldn't lie himself. One lie needs to be covered up with ten or more lies. Mo Yuegen still understands this truth. Of course, he didn't want to explain the problem of Gansu Town to Lin Dan Khan in detail. The more ambiguous the question, the better.
He beckoned behind him and motioned for Berrion to come up and answer. After Berrien came up, he bowed to Lin Dan Khan, and then said in a proper manner: "Dear Golden Khan, our Great Khan thinks that it is less difficult to go south from Zhenyuan Pass than from Gansu Town to the east. Therefore, it was decided to transfer troops to Yuanguan, preparing to go south with Golden Khan and attack Ningxia Town in one fell swoop. ”
Lin Danhan was so unhappy in his heart, he really couldn't vent it. He wasn't an idiot, and Berrien's words naturally couldn't fool him. Obviously, Mo Yuegen and his subordinates suffered a big loss in Gansu Town, so they had to move to Zhenyuanguan. What attacked Ningxia Town together is all nonsense. He is here waiting for his arrival, hoping for his own assistance, and it is true. In a word, Mo Yuegen was defeated by Xu Xingxia.
