Chapter 558: The first step of the undercover plan

The area outside the Saiwai is wide, and it is two or three hundred miles along the northwest corner of the Yellow River to the Urad grassland in the center of the backset. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoHana Tumen Wanhu occupies the most abundant place of water and grass on the Houtao Plain, which belongs to Linhe County of the Qin and Han Dynasties, and belonged to Ningxia Wei in the early Jiajing period.

Although there was a smell of chaos here, no one dared to harass the cavalry escort of Ma Lie, and when they reached the place where the felt tent was full of cavalry, the Tatar cavalry led Ma Lie's small group of cavalry into the depths of the felt tent.

A golden felt tent is enclosed in the center of the tent group, and in front of the tent are erected the Nine Tours White Silk and the Four Tours Black Silk Cloth, as well as the arrow eagle banner symbolizing the Golden Family.

Before arriving at the big tent, I saw a woman and a young man standing at the door of the tent, the young man was majestic, his face was immature, and his lips were covered with a thin layer of stubble, deliberately staring at his eyes to reveal a fierce and majestic expression.

The woman was about thirty years old, with reddish hair, fair skin, a plump and tall figure, and a pair of eyes as smart as cat's eyes, with a heroic beauty.

Ma Lie bowed down and hugged his fists and performed the Han etiquette: "General Ma Lie will see Ezhe Khan and the Empress Dowager Sutai!"

Ezhe waved his hand, but Su Tai unexpectedly returned the blessing gift of a Han woman, and what he said in his mouth was standard Chinese: "The general is exempt from courtesy, please enter the tent and speak!"

After entering the Golden Horde, Su Tai ordered his subordinates to serve mare's milk wine and Central Plains fragrant tea, and after a few words of greeting, Su Tai asked: "Is the general good in Wuyuan? After the death of the Great Khan, it was all up to the general to defend the old city of Wuyuan, so that the Hou Tao could be safe and sound, and our mother and son should thank the adults for their maintenance." ”

The young Ezheurn said angrily: "Tumut's group of mongrels who don't obey orders have no ability. Ma Lie, as long as you help me, we can kill Naturalization City immediately, how about it, would you like to help me?"

Ma Lie said expressionlessly: "The Great Khan has such ambitions, and the generals are naturally willing to help. However, it is not an easy task to attack the Tumo Division, I wonder what the big Han's plan is?"

Ezhe stood up with a happy face and shouted: "What's so difficult about this? Hangjin Banner, Alxa Banner, plus Hana Tumen Wanhu has 50,000 elite horsemen, plus your thousands of men and horses as the vanguard, occupy Guihua City in one fell swoop, and then swing the Tumo River around, occupy the Ele River, and the rest of the tribes will immediately surrender, and then restore the Chahar Ranch to the east, clean up the traitors in Khalkha and Korqin, and slowly clean up Houjin Jiannu!"

Ma Lie nodded and said: "What the Great Khan said is right, but when we attack Guihua City, what should we do with Ordos, Etuoke, and Wushenqi? And the most powerful Ming Dynasty, if they go up the river to attack Houtao, we will be attacked on our backs, how should we deal with it?"

Ezhedeng stared at the beads of his eyes, and his chest rose and fell a few times and scolded: "It's all to blame on that damn Chang Wei, he not only killed his father Khan, but also snatched the jade seal of the heirloom country!"

"What?" Ma Lie was taken aback, not only did he not know the news, but all the major tribes on the grassland did not know, but Chang Wei thought that this kind of big event had spread, and he didn't tell him.

Immediately, Ma Lie calmed down, "Who else knows about the jade seal falling into the hands of the Ming Dynasty?"

Su Tai said: "Don't be surprised, general, only our mother and son and Batu Baihu know." Now that all the ministries do not obey the orders of the Great Khan, the symbolism of the jade seal of the country is greater than the practical use, not to mention, we still have the holy relics of the Golden Family in our hands. ”

Chang Wei was curious, the holy relic of the Golden Family?

Ma Lie breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The holy relics are the basis for ruling the prairie, and only with those two things can the departments be commanded. ”

Su Tai sighed lightly and said, "We only have the most important Gala Gem Seal, and the other Fuxi Nuwa Stone is in the hands of the Alxa tribe. ”

"It is enough to have a seal. Ma Lie uncovered this stubble and asked, "How does the Empress Dowager view the plan of the Great Khan, and how does she judge the situation of the steppe in the future?"

Su Tai said softly: "Ezhe is still young, his ideas are too simple, the general should not take it to heart." Now we can really rely on the only thing we can really rely on is the Hana Tumen Department of Batu Baihu, and the rest of the Hangjin Banner and Alxa Banner are all waiting and watching after the death of the Great Khan, if the general is willing to help, there is still something to do!"

Ma Lie said frankly: "I came this time to hear the plans of the Great Khan and the Queen Mother, if the plan is suitable, I am naturally willing to serve." ”

There is no need to go around in circles here, Su Tai said seriously: "In today's world, the Later Golden Taiji has the tendency to dominate the grassland and coerce the Ming Dynasty; However, our Yuan Dynasty fought on its own, lacking talents, and in the end it was nothing more than relying on the Later Jin Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty to unite against the other, in order to restore my Chahar hometown. ”

Ma Lie raised his eyebrows, "Which one does the Queen Mother want to throw herself into?"

Su Tai said: "Huang Taiji captured Chahanhot (now Inner Mongolia Chifeng Alu Korqin Banner) last year, and now the Houjin border is still 1,500 miles away from Guihua City, and Zhenyuan Pass is only 300 miles away from Houtao, and it is only 100 miles away from Alxa Banner. It stands to reason that we should rely on the Ming Dynasty, but that Qin Guogong is very tight, I am afraid that he will see through our intentions and ignore it, and Houjin is now too far away, which is really difficult. ”

Ezhe said hatefully: "Huang Taiji colluded with Khalkha and Horqin traitors to seize the Chahar grassland, and Chang Wei killed his father Khan, which is not a good thing, why rely on them?"

Ma Lie advised: "Everyone in the battle formation depends on their ability, and victory or defeat in life and death is an ordinary thing, and the Great Khan must look forward, and must not be blinded by the hatred in front of him. ”

Su Tai said yes repeatedly, and Ma Lie said: "Since the Queen Mother is interested, it is better to write a letter first, send it to Fugu, and find out Chang Wei's intentions, if he doesn't care about the former Great Khan's intention to accept King Qing, let's further reconcile with him." ”

Su Tai acted simply, when he wrote a sincere letter, admitted his mistakes, and then signed his own and Ezhe's names, and handed them to Ma Lie with a seal, so that he could convey them on his behalf.

Ma Lie received the letter and said: "The general still has something to report to the Queen Mother, since Altan Khan, most of the prairies believe in the Yellow Sect. During the reign of the First Great Khan, he believed in the Red Religion, so that his subordinates were centrifuged, and now, the Empress Dowager and the Great Khan should convert to the Yellow Religion in order to win the hearts of the people. ”

Su Tai glanced at Chang Wei and Tang Jinyi at the bottom and said, "Is this the reason why the general brought two great monks here?"

"Yes!" Ma Lie generously admitted, "I know that there are not many monks of the Yellow Sect in Houtao, so I specially invited these two senior monks." The Queen Mother doesn't look at them young, in fact, they have been practicing in the Tantric Qinglong Temple in Chang'an and the Cheng'en Temple in Jingshi since they were children, and they have learned authentic Buddhism and profound Buddhism. ”

Su Taixi said: "The general has a heart, I have twenty pieces of cloth and three hundred taels of silver here, a little heart, and please accept it with a smile." ”

After explaining the serious matter, Su Tai settled Chang Wei, Tang Jinyi and Hu Wenqing, and entertained Ma Lie again, before he left, Chang Wei handed him a letter with a secret detention.

This letter will be sent to Fugu and handed over to Changping by Zuofu and Youbi along with Su Tai's letter, and Chang Ping will rewrite a letter according to the meaning of Chang Weixin, stamp the seal of Qin Guogong and send it back, and when the time is ripe, he will throw out the sharp weapon of imperial court canonization and support to envelop Su Tai.

The first step of the undercover plan is complete!

"Huangjiao Xiao'er, hurry up and get out of here, the back set is not the place you should be!"

sent Ma Lie away, and that night, those Red Sect monks raised by Lin Dan Khan came to the door and wanted to expel Chang Wei and the others! )
