In the royal court of Meng Ge, the khans of each tribe were sitting on both sides. Meng Ge was in the middle. On both sides were Yelu Hongji and Xiao Feng. One was the leader of the Khitan tribe second only to the Meng Ge tribe, and the other was the most powerful person in the grassland. This was also
It explains the status of the two people in the grassland.
After drinking for three rounds, we started to get down to business. Brother Meng looked at everyone and said: "Rumors are really spreading in the royal court these days. Such remarks must have been spread by someone with intentions. I hope you will not be affected. I am so grateful."
I have no other intention. The reason why we are discussing sending troops is because I am afraid of missing a good opportunity, and it is also for the future of our grassland!"
Several die-hard Meng Ge immediately replied: "Don't worry, Khan, we naturally won't take these rumors to heart. You are the Khan, and we will listen to you in everything!"
Brother Meng smiled and said: "Even if this matter is over, rumors will not affect the unity of our grassland. I invite you today to discuss sending troops. What do you think?"
The same few people immediately said: "We will follow the Great Khan to the death! Wherever the Great Khan's sword points, we will hit!" But except for those few people, the khans of other tribes were all silent.
.
Brother Meng glanced at everyone and looked at Xiao Feng who was standing aside: "Brother Xiao Feng, what do you think?"
Xiao Feng stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Sweat! I still feel that now is not a good time to send troops. The grasslands have been fighting for years, and the people are miserable. Using troops at this time will undoubtedly increase the burden on the people!"
"Brother Xiao Feng is overly worried. We are sending troops for the sake of the people. As long as we capture the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun, the people in our grasslands will no longer have to worry about food!"
"But, but..." Xiao Feng didn't finish his words. Yelu Hongji on the other side said: "Great Khan, I think what Brother Xiao Feng said makes some sense. Our Khitan tribe is already sparsely populated.
After years of fighting, the population has now reached its lowest point, food and grass are in short supply, and we really cannot afford to send troops."
Hearing Yelu Hongji's words, Meng Ge frowned. Although Yelu Hongji did not express his attitude in the past, he still preferred to send troops. Why did he disagree now? "Could it be that they have united secretly?
?" Brother Meng looked at Xiao Feng and Yelu Hongji on the left and right, and his face sank.
Brother Meng's face darkened, but the khans below were happy. When they saw that Xiao Feng and Yelu Hongji were not sending troops in the same way, they all began to cry. Listening to their words, it seemed that their respective tribes were in trouble.
Speaking of going into the army, I would be lucky if I didn't starve to death!
At this moment, a cry came from outside the door: "The envoy from Xixia wants to see you!"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment. Brother Meng also looked puzzled. Why did Xixia's envoy arrive at this time? After a moment of silence, he said: "Please!"
"Pass! The Xixia envoy is here to see you!"
Zeng Yi wore the official uniform of the deputy envoy of Xixia Yipintang and walked into the main hall. When he saw Brother Meng, he bowed slightly and said, "The envoy of Xixia, I have seen the Great Khan!"
Brother Meng, on the other hand, looked confused and looked at Zeng Yi. He had met Zeng Yi many times and naturally knew Zeng Yi. He pointed at Zeng Yi: "You, you, when did you become the envoy of Xixia?
"
"I'll be back in Dahan in a few days." Zhu replied with a slight smile.
"This, what on earth is going on!"
Zeng Yi had no choice but to say the words that he wanted to believe again, and he was very successful in making Brother Meng believe what he said.
After a while, Brother Meng finally recovered, "Then why did the Ni envoy come to our grassland?"
"I am here just for the Central Plains Dynasty and the various factions!"
Upon hearing this, Brother Meng was a little happy, "Emperor Xixia, are you also planning to send troops to the Central Plains?"
Zeng Yi quickly shook his head: "The Great Khan misunderstood, now is not a good opportunity to send troops!"
"Ouch? Messenger Lanni also feels that now is not the time to send troops?" Meng Ge stared at Zeng Yi and said.
"Exactly, I know the strength of the Central Plains better than anyone else. To put it bluntly, with the strength of the Central Plains, it is no problem to fight on both sides and deal with the grassland and Xixia at the same time! And..." Zeng Yi added
Zhongyuan's strength was exaggerated and told everyone. After hearing Zeng Yi's words, the Khans below were in an uproar and did not dare to send troops.
Brother Meng slammed the table: "Hmph! Although the Central Plains are powerful, our grasslands are not vegetarian either. The Nepalese envoys must not emulate other people's ambitions and destroy their own prestige!"
"Great Khan, I am just stating objective facts. It is indeed not suitable to send troops now. Send troops to inform and help the Central Plains Dynasty to divert domestic conflicts!"
Brother Meng closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time. This time he asked: "Well, I wonder if Xixia has any good ideas?"
"Your Majesty, it is better to send troops now than to add fuel to the flames and continue to stir up conflicts between various factions and the Central Plains dynasty. Many people in the world are very wild. As long as you give them some help, I believe some people will not be able to bear the loneliness."
After listening to Zeng Yi's words, Brother Meng immediately became interested and said, "Here you come, please give me a seat quickly. I have neglected the envoy here. Please hurry up and let's sit down and talk."
After Zeng Yi took his seat, he continued: "For example, although the White Lotus Sect that you have supported has been exterminated, I believe that the leader of the White Lotus Sect who has not yet been found, the Great Khan should know where he is, right? As long as
Support him again. With a two-pronged approach, when the various factions no longer intervene due to their relationship with the imperial court, the White Lotus Sect will definitely expand rapidly. If you don't send troops by then, the initiative will not be in your hands!"
Zeng Yi had always suspected that the White Lotus Sect was supported by Xixia and other forces in the grassland. At that time, the White Lotus Sect was raging at the time when the Four Kingdoms were conquering the Western Regions. The purpose was to contain the Central Plains. Afterwards, the White Lotus Sect was exterminated, but its leader was never caught. Zeng Yi
Yi was very suspicious that he had gone to the Four Kingdoms. Later, after Zeng Yi took over the pro-military governor's office, he also learned about the White Lotus sect. At that time, not only the four kingdoms, but also the pro-military governor's office supported the White Lotus sect. Otherwise, the White Lotus sect
The leader, no matter how powerful he is, cannot escape the pursuit of the imperial court.
As soon as Zeng Yi finished speaking, Yelu Hongji immediately said: "This plan is very good! I think the plan of the Ni envoy is much better than sending troops now!" The Khans below also nodded in agreement. Only
Xiao Feng looked at Zeng Yi with some worry.
Brother Meng looked at everyone and laughed a few times: "Haha, this Khan also thinks that this opportunity for the Ni envoy is very good! I will write a letter to the Emperor of Xixia and cooperate with Xixia to carry out this plan!"
