"I suggest that King Khan should not rush to the capital, but stay here and wait for the Qing army to come again." Hongshi's words puzzled Galdan, and he said displeasedly: "Now that all obstacles have been removed, it is time to enter the capital."
Why do you want me to wait here for this great opportunity to take over the capital? Or do you not want me to take over the capital and achieve unification?"
"King Khan, don't get me wrong. If I didn't want to, I wouldn't do my best to win this battle for King Khan in the shortest time. I just think that instead of rushing to the capital day and night with an exhausted body, it would be better to
Stay here and wait for work." Seeing that Galdan's face still looked bad, he said again: "
This Li Shumi, I remember, is a soldier who was convicted and discharged before. Now he is appointed as the commander of this army, which shows how short of men the Qing Dynasty is. But this time, Yinzhen suffered such a tragic defeat.
In order to stabilize people's hearts, we will definitely assemble the army and lead the expedition in person."
"But in this case, isn't it that we are in a passive position? Since we have won, we should take advantage of the victory and return to attack in order to avoid mishaps." Obviously, Galdan did not agree with Hongshi's remarks.
Hongshi knew that Galdan was not a person who could be easily persuaded, but he was not impatient. He believed that after analyzing the interests, Galdan would definitely agree to stay in the Salik River.
It is natural to have concerns, but there is one thing that King Khan forgot. In the Northern Song Dynasty
After being destroyed by the Jin Kingdom, Zhao Gou, the ninth son of Qinzong, fled to Lin'an and established his capital in Lin'an, surviving for more than a hundred years. The Jin Kingdom also perished under the attack from the north and south by Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty. The unification of the Central Plains was finally completed.
It has become empty talk. What happened hundreds of years ago, does King Khan want to repeat it again?"
Galdan stared at him coldly and said: "What do you mean, please explain it clearly to me once, otherwise you will not blame me for being rude."
Hongshi lowered his head and said: "King Khan, think about it, if you really come to the city and push Yinzhen into a panic, he will probably lead his people to flee to the south, establish a capital there, and then launch a counterattack against you. In this case, even if you
We may not be able to last long if we capture the capital. Don't forget, there are still 200,000 troops at Fobiao. Returning reinforcements will be a big disadvantage to us. And the Qing Dynasty can piece it together.
The army is by no means more than these 200,000. In the two battles four years ago, Yinzhen raised a total of 600,000 troops. But this time, facing the danger of national subjugation, I am afraid that the army will be even more. King Khan thinks that with more than ten of us
With ten thousand people, can we withstand their desperate attack? Moreover, there will definitely be casualties during the siege. Maybe by then our troops will only be less than 100,000. Does King Khan still think there is no problem?"
"This..." Galdan hesitated at what he said. It is true that if he faced an army of two to three hundred thousand, he was confident that he could win, but if it faced an army of four hundred thousand, or even five or six hundred thousand, it would be hard to say.
Seeing that Galdan was wavering, Hongshi said again: "For long-term planning and to be able to truly explore this world, I suggest that King Khan stay here for the time being and not push them too hard until...
Until I kill Yinzhen."
Geerdan was silent in thought. He wanted to capture the capital as soon as possible and take control of the Central Plains, but Hongshi's words did make some sense. If Yinzhen was allowed to escape, it would be very detrimental to him, but in the end he shook his head and said
: "I have had several dealings with the Qing Emperor. He is not a weak person. On the contrary, he is very courageous. Such a person,
I don’t think that he will abandon the capital and run away alone. He should stick to the city.” After that, he looked at Hongshi and sneered: “It’s you who have been lobbying me to stay here, even though you always said that
This king is nice, but I think... you are simply afraid that I will enter the capital. Tell me, what is your real intention?"
Hongshi was panicked. He didn't expect that Galdan would not be fooled by what he said. However, he still shook his head and said: "After all, King Khan still doesn't believe me. If this is the case, King Khan will think that I don't
That's all, besides... I don't think I need to stay here anymore."
Galdan didn't expect Hongshi to say such words, and was quite surprised, "You want to leave?"
"King Khan no longer believes that I have reached this point. There is no point in me staying here. Moreover, if this battle is won, no matter what Yinzhen does, the capital will definitely be captured. I am not breaking my promise, but next, I ask King Khan to take care of himself.
That's it." After that, Hongshi handed over his hands and was about to leave, but after taking a few steps, Galdan stopped him, "Do you think this is an inn for me, where you can come and leave whenever you want?"
Hongshi stopped and said, "I wonder if King Khan has any other instructions?"
Galdan walked up to him and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to kill Yinzhen and others to take revenge? Now you are leaving without revenge. Are you willing?"
Hongshi smiled bitterly and said: "Of course I'm not willing to give in, but I know better that even if I continue to stay here and follow King Khan to attack the capital, I still won't be able to catch Yinzhen and the others. I should say... I won't be able to catch them in this life."
Seeing that Hong Shi's words didn't seem to be false, Ge Erdan frowned and said, "Are you so sure that Yinzhen will flee the capital?"
Hongshi sighed and said: "What King Khan said before was right. Yinzhen is not a coward. He will not leave thousands of people in the capital and flee in order to survive. But if he doesn't leave, what will happen to him?"
The Qing Dynasty will be completely destroyed; if it is gone, the Qing Dynasty will still be there. Once the army is gathered, he can fight back to the capital and regain the lost country. If it were the Khan King, what would you do?"
Yes, instead of being trapped in a lonely city and waiting to die, it is better to evacuate temporarily and save your life to regroup and regain the country in the future.
Thinking of this, Galdan's expression softened and he said: "So, I have misunderstood you?"
Hongshi shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter whether I misunderstood or not. What matters is that King Khan has never trusted me at all."
Galdan immediately said: "What are you talking about? If I didn't trust you, would I let you command these hundreds of thousands of troops? Would I appoint you as the vanguard? It's just that what you just said was not clear.
Anyone would have doubts. Now that it’s been explained clearly, it’s okay. You can help me. When I conquer the world, I will never treat you badly. The Qing Emperor can do whatever you want. Besides,
Where can you go if you leave here?"
Seeing that he believed what he said, Hongshi was secretly happy in his heart, but deliberately showed an embarrassed look on his face. He nodded hesitantly and said: "Since King Khan said so, then okay!"
Galdan said: "But I can only wait here for three days. If there is no movement in the capital after three days, I will immediately send troops to attack the city. Otherwise, if you give them too much time, the danger will be
