The eldest son of the red mansion

But the situation did not develop as Arslen Khan hoped to see.

As the Tatars and Jia Ke have been defeated repeatedly in battles, the morale of the Tatars has been knocked down. These people's fear of Jia Ke has exceeded Arslen Khan's imagination.

Now many tribal leaders are very dissatisfied with Arslen Khan's policy of opposing the Celestial Dynasty.

If Arslen Khan hadn't cleaned up the grassland several times and executed all the opponents, the grassland would have been in chaos by now.

But Arslen Khan didn't take it lightly, because he knew that these tribes used to be his confidants or hardcore supporters, and now even they opposed his policies, which showed that there were already complaints on the grassland.

Things are indeed as Arslen Khan guessed. On the current grassland, although it is said that they have achieved a huge victory in the war against the Western Regions, they feel that the loss outweighs the gain because of the continuous defeat against Jia Ke.

More importantly, after so many years of continuous wars, almost every grassland family has lost population, and the new generation has not grown up yet, so ordinary herdsmen also have a lot of dissatisfaction with their sweat.

Arslen Khan is also a hero. After realizing the crisis of his governance, he immediately thought of changing his course and temporarily dormant. Otherwise, if the internal instability and the external enemy, he might not be able to continue to be stable.

So Arslen Khan summoned the leaders of the various tribes of the Tatars in his king's tent to discuss the future strategy for the Central Plains.

Arslen Khan specially recruited Meng He, who was grazing in Beihai, because of this meeting.

Ever since Meng He made contributions in the battle with Jia Ke last time, because Arslen Khan was very afraid of him, he gave him a big tribe on the surface and asked him to take charge of it, but in fact he kept him far away. sent away.

But this time it was related to the future direction of the Tatars. Arslen Khan was a little worried about other people's strategies, so he could only recall this wise and brave general.

During the period when the tribes came to the king's tent, they also exchanged opinions with each other in series. After all, this is related to the future direction of the Tatars.

However, these tribal leaders turned out to be surprisingly unanimous in their will, that is, to make friends with the people of the Central Plains, to cease fighting and stop fighting, and not to have any more disputes.

Because these tribal leaders are already scared now. Since Jia Ke was born, their aggression against the Central Plains has been restrained, and their losses have become more and more heavy, which has reached an unbearable level.

The quality of life of these tribal leaders has also been greatly reduced. If Arslen Khan's authority was not still there, they would have turned against them long ago.

A few days later, in Arslen Khan's big tent, Arslen Khan sat upright on the golden tiger skin chair in the middle.

Sitting next to Arslen Khan was Meng He, and the other tribal leaders sat down one by one.

In front of them was a delicious roast of lamb, and these tribes ate the lamb and drank the kumiss while talking in their hands.

After drinking for three rounds, Arslen Khan slapped the table in front of him, and the tribal leaders below immediately fell silent.

Arslen Khan was quite satisfied with his own authority.

"Everyone, I think everyone already knows what I want to discuss when Ben Khan summoned you to the king's tent. Then let's not talk nonsense, everyone, let's express our opinions."

The tribal leaders below looked at each other, and finally pushed out Ao Denggerile with eye contact to express their opinions.

Aodenggeril has a high prestige on the grassland because he is quite wise, and under his governance, his tribe is very prosperous.

When Arslen Khan saw this man standing up, he cupped his hands as a respect for him.

Aodenggeril stood in the center of the big tent, thought about the wording, and then said to Arslen Khan who was sitting in the middle: "Khan, to be honest, the overall strength of our grassland is as good as that of the Central Plains." The difference between the Celestial Empires is too great, and the reason why we can always be on the offensive is because our grassland warriors are brave and good at fighting, but this kind of offensive can't last long, once our army is exhausted, the opponent will take advantage of it."

After Aodengeril finished speaking, the tribal leaders in the big tent whispered, and they all thought that Aodenggeril had spoken his heart.

"Great Khan, since ancient times when the grasslands and the Central Plains fought, they won decisive victories only when the Central Plains were exhausted. Now, under the governance of Jia Ke, the Central Plains is becoming stronger and more aggressive. It's a big threat."

After hearing this, Arslen Khan asked, "Since this is the case, shouldn't we immediately launch a large army to eliminate this threat?"

Aodenggeril smiled wryly, "The Central Plains is vast, rich in resources and densely populated. Even if they fail a few times, they don't hurt themselves. But our Tatar population is only a few million. If there is a big failure It would be a huge loss.”

"The last few times we fought Jia Ke, we lost hundreds of thousands of warriors, and now a large part of the cavalry in the tribe were eliminated before. I am afraid that these people are fighting against Jia Ke's proud soldiers. opponent."

Arslen Khan was also silent after listening, he naturally understood his current situation in his heart.

If it weren't for the hundreds of thousands of cavalry, let alone the Central Plains team, even the 36 countries in the Western Regions may have turned against each other now.

"Ben Khan understands the meaning of everyone, Aodenggeril, you go back first."

Aodenggeril sat back on his seat again, and he could be considered worthy of Arslen Khan's trust by speaking out his thoughts for a while.

Arslen Khan sat on it with an ugly face. In the past, he was a little self-deceiving, thinking that he still had hundreds of thousands of cavalry under his command, and he was not afraid of Jia Ke.

But this time, he was in the hands of the tribe in a hurry, and only then did he know that those people below had no intention of fighting anymore.

Arslen Khan helplessly asked Meng He who was sitting beside him: "General Meng He, tell me what tricks you have."

Since Meng He became the tribal leader, his loyalty to Arslen Khan has reached another level.

Although the place Arslen Khan allocated to him was relatively remote, it was one step away, and he was in charge of the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people. This is different from when he was just an ordinary general in the king's tent before. difference.

Since Meng He wanted to repay, he would naturally try his best to answer Arslen Khan's question.

"Great Khan, we Tatars are weak now. If we continue to confront Jia Ke head-on, I'm afraid we Tatars will fall apart like those grassland peoples before."

Arslen Khan was not a person who didn't know what to do. He nodded after hearing Meng He's words, knowing that what he said was correct.

Seeing that Arslen Khan nodded in agreement with what he said just now, Meng He felt relieved, and then said: "I still can't wait until I can't fight head-on, it's better to be soft temporarily. In my opinion, the Central Plains Celestial Dynasty is a nation that cares about face. As long as we Say a few good words, and they will definitely stop fighting, so we can rest and recuperate, and in a dozen years, when our warriors grow up once again, we will be able to fight Jia Ke again."

Arslen Khan agreed with Meng He's opinion after listening, "The general's words are exactly what I want. It's just that we have been fighting Jia Ke for so many years, how can we convince him of our sincerity?"

Meng He already had a countermeasure, "Your Majesty, why don't you send someone to present the letter of credence and surrender to the Central Plains Dynasty temporarily, and at the same time ask Jia Ke to marry the princess to the Great Khan and get married. In this way, Jia Ke may be able to rest assured." .”

Arslen Khan was satisfied after hearing this. Since ancient times, the Central Plains has had the habit of making peace with the grasslands to stabilize the grasslands.

As long as he sends the letter of credence this time, I think Jia Ke will agree to it in order to stabilize the border.

After Arslen Khan made up his mind, he said to the tribal leaders below: "Meng He's words are good words. I decided to follow Meng He's method. What's your opinion?"

The tribal leaders sitting below can agree to anything as long as they don't fight Jacques. Now that the marriage can be passed and the two sides have a truce, naturally they don't have any opinions.

When Arslen Khan saw that all the leaders had agreed, he said, "You are a famous wise man on the grassland. You are the envoy of the Southern Dynasty this time. What do you think?" Sample?"

Aodenggeril did not shirk this matter, "Since the Great Khan trusts me, I will naturally go all out."

Arslen Khan nodded, then wrote the letter of credence on the spot, and handed it to Aodenggeril, asking him to take a few people to the Southern Dynasty.

After receiving the letter of credence, Aodenggerile prepared for the whole night, and headed south with a few servants the next day.

But he had just walked 10 miles when he saw a group of people waiting for him in front of him.

Aodenggerile set up an awning to watch carefully, and the first person was Meng He, so he pushed forward quickly, and the horse came in front of Meng He, and then turned over and dismounted.When Meng He saw Aodenggerile approaching, he also hurriedly got off his horse.

After the two saluted each other, Ao Denggerile asked: "Meng and the leader are waiting here, do you have something to explain?"

Meng He nodded, and then said with a gloomy expression: "This time you go to the Southern Dynasty to temporarily stabilize the border with the policy of marriage. But I think Jia Ke is very tough. If you want Jia Ke to marry the princess into the grassland, I will I'm afraid it's a little troublesome."

Ao Denggerile immediately showed a look of surprise on his face, "If that's the case, why did the general propose such a plan to the Great Khan in the big tent?"
