Reincarnation of the powerful minister

From Zhu Xian, Mr. He received a reminder from the head of the Seven Killing camp that Altan was approaching the capital but not attacking the city, and he meant to watch the fire from the other side.Of course, he couldn't let Al Tan be the fisherman who got the last profit, so he settled Zhu Xian and King Ning's troops, and brought a group of Vacuum Cult followers to rush from Fangshan County to Changping Prefecture.

This trip was from the southwest of the Gyeonggi region to the west, and it took only two days to ride a horse. When he approached the city of Changping Prefecture, he saw smoke and dust rising in front of him, and the screams of killing were loud.

Mr. He cautiously stopped the team, and ordered his followers to inquire about the situation in the nearby villages. He learned from the refugees that there was a war ahead. of.

In order to find out the inside story, Mr. He ventured closer to Changping City to see what happened, but at this time the beacon smoke had subsided, and there were many broken swords and broken flags left on the battlefield, as well as traces of firearms fired.The green monk's shoes stepped on half of the burnt flag, Mr. He bent down to pick it up, and recognized the word "Mu" on the flag.

"Mu..." He lowered his eyes and thought, could it be Mu Xun, the up-and-coming military general who defeated the Wang brothers in Bazhou?

This person seems to have been born out of nowhere, and it has only been more than a month since he appeared in their field of vision, and there is very little relevant information.And for more than a month, the opponent led the army to move around, his spies caught a glimpse once or twice from a distance, and the opponent was also wearing a pocket mask, so he couldn't see his face clearly, so he could only guess that it was a young man based on his figure.

It seems that the imperial army that fought Altan was led by Mu Xun.It's a pity that Jiang is still old and hot. Altan ran across the grasslands and slaughtered many tribal overlords before he was able to dominate the Northern Desert. How could a fledgling young general be able to match him.

However, for Mr. Crane, no matter who wins or loses, this battle is good news—at least it can make Altan realize that even if he stops here, the court will regard him as the biggest foreign trouble, and will continue to send troops Come to meet them, so as not to endanger the capital.From the moment Altan stepped into the border of the Ming country, he was destined to be impossible to be a person who watched fire from the other side.

Mr. Crane felt a little more confident in persuading Altan.Sure enough, after sending someone to contact the other party, Altan received him on horseback led by the entire army.

"Congratulations to Tian Sheng Khan for his complete victory in this battle," Mr. He asked, "Where will the holy Khan's whip point next?"

Altan's brows were full of fighting spirit, and he replied loudly after hearing the words: "Naturally, it is the capital of all capitals - the capital of Mingguo."

Very good, even the effort of trying to urge was saved, Mr. He was in the middle of his arms, cupped his hands and smiled: "Then I wish Sheng Khan a victory in advance, take the capital in one fell swoop, and join forces with Lord Chesser in victory."

Altan squinted at him, a shrewd and arrogant look flashed in his eyes. "You and the chess player want to borrow the horseshoes of my Beimo iron cavalry to level the high walls and deep trenches of the capital and pave the way for you." He said bluntly, "It's true that covenants should not be taken lightly, but world affairs must be flexible. If I If I can directly capture the capital, not only the sixteen prefectures of Youyun, but also the entire Central Plains will be in my pocket, so why bother to cede it to me?"

Mr. He secretly scolded this northern barbarian as fine as a ghost. When he asked others to keep the contract, he was "Bei Mo Erlang's most important contract spirit", but when it was his turn to perform the contract, he became "the world needs to be flexible", which is really shameless.

The slander is back to the slander, he still showed an elegant smile on his face, and said calmly: "Your Majesty Sheng Khan's words are wrong. The Central Plains is not easy to fight, and it is even more difficult to sit, especially for the northern desert tribes. If you want to rule the Central Plains, Unless the noble state abandons nomadism from top to bottom and turns to farming, it will also suffer from whether the people of the Central Plains obey the rule of foreign races. It is impossible to fully integrate into the culture of the Central Plains. The Guozuo of the previous dynasty is only a few decades. Considering that enough is enough, it is better to take the land, population and resources of Youyun Sixteen States to strengthen Beimo itself."

Altan knew this truth a long time ago. In fact, he may not be willing to let the whole family give up the nomadic life passed down from generation to generation. He just wanted to use Mr. Crane to beat the player, lest the other party really think he can be used as a gun.

So he shook the whip of his horsewhip as if in warning, and made a clear and empty sound: "In that case, I will take a step back for the sake of the player. After helping you take the capital, I will have nothing less , including the person I want to use to make utensil materials. If you break your promise at that time, don’t blame me for being greedy for the great rivers and mountains in the Central Plains where spring flowers are blooming, and I am reluctant to leave.”

"Of course, of course." Mr. He cupped his hands again, "Both parties abide by the covenant, and that is the way to win-win."

There was no words on both sides, and they marched separately.After Ale Tan led his army to continue to advance eastward for more than [-] li, the figure of Jing Hongchai flashed out from the mountain forest beside the road, and jumped onto an unmanned horse.

Altan asked, "Going away?"

Jing Hong chased and nodded: "It's far away, it looks like it's going in the direction of Fangshan County."

"I didn't ask about the whereabouts of the white pheasant. I asked about Unig." Altan deliberately raised the bar.

Jing Hongzhui snorted coldly, not wanting to talk to him.

Half a day ago, I was ordered to ambush at the left and right sentries near the Yu River. When the scouts were checking the surrounding terrain, they accidentally found a group of unidentified Tiqi coming straight towards the direction of Changpingzhou City. They felt suspicious, so they immediately reported to "" Mu Xun" General.

At that time, their chief general was in the field outside the city, and the enemy chieftain was at war with each other across the bonfire. There was a Mr. Su who had just fallen from a tree and was warming himself by the fire. robe.

It's only because someone's fluttering white clothes and long hair without hairpins are too eye-catching. Su Yan patted the blue stone under his seat and said, "With such a pretentious attire, it must be Mr. He."

"I knew that the capital city was in such a mess, and it was the rebellious Wang family's bandit army, and the restless and kind-hearted 'King Qin' vassals. It is impossible for Mr. He, who is afraid of chaos in the world, not to join in the fun, and maybe the chess players will also quietly Showed up." Zhu Helin said, glaring at Altan again, "I obviously came here to meet you, who would believe that the two sides did not collude? I really don't know what ecstasy drug you gave Qinghe when he lost his memory. Even in the current situation where water and fire are incompatible, I am still speaking for you! In my opinion, if you are killed here, the collusion between Bei Mo and the chess players will naturally collapse, and I, Da Ming, will not suffer from the enemy."

Altan also didn't show a good face to him: "Emperor Ming, I sat here to discuss with you because of Unig's face. You ignored the letter of credence I delivered, and made accusations in a bad tone, even Ke Dun, who was chasing me with a sword, I was thinking about whether to fake it or not, and now I will order a war, hang your noble head by the saddle, and then go to conquer the Forbidden City."

Seeing that the two sides were about to turn against each other, Su Yan's scalp was numb, and he slapped the stones hard a few times, raising his voice: "Everyone is on the same boat, please sit for me! Whoever tries to break my oars or burn my sails again, I will Just dismantled the back of his head. Ah Zhui, whoever utters bad words later, you clicked his acupuncture points and made him a wooden man."

Jing Hong responded: "Yes!"

The promise made by the master of swordsmanship not only has the ability to do what he says, but also hides the pleasure in the middle of his heart. No matter how upset the two monarchs are, they have to swallow this bad breath for a while. After all, no one wants to be in front of their sweetheart. Lu Chou lost his place again.

Su Yan took a deep breath of the spring chill in the mountains and fields, and decided to put aside his selfishness for the time being, and become a career machine with no emotions.He asked Altan expressionlessly: "When I left Qile and Lin, Mr. He's motorcade hadn't left yet, did you meet him again?"

Altan admitted it very straightforwardly: "Yes, more than once. After Zhu Xu actually hurt my arm, and after you cured my blood poison and left me, I had secret talks with him."

Zhu Helin clenched the hilt of his sword with a face as heavy as water.

Su Yan narrowed his eyes slightly: "You have to make Mr. He aware of your hatred for King Yu and your anger at the robbery of Kedun, and let him believe that this is an excellent opportunity to form an alliance with you, because your hatred points to The same goal—Da Ming.”

Altan stared at him calmly: "Yes."

"Mr. He took the opportunity to bring up the old matter again and expressed his intention to form an alliance. You must have bargained with him and put forward a lot of conditions. The harsher the conditions, the more it shows that you take this matter seriously."

"That's right. I put forward three conditions, and the other party agreed to them all. In the end, they made an alliance with me and signed a contract in black and white."

"Maybe let me guess the content of this covenant... You send out the big inscription, help the player to attack the capital, and the player will give you a lot of property and population resources after the event is completed, and even cede the land in the Central Plains, and redesignate it with you Rule by boundaries?"

Aletan smiled slightly: "What a lucrative deal, isn't it. Compared with the emperor of the Ming Kingdom who dismissed my credentials, the attitude of the player is much lower."

Su Yan also smiled: "But the Holy Khan Altan I know is a hunting eagle, not a carrion vulture, and he will not be dazzled by the huge benefits in front of him. Instead, he will suspect the trap behind this transaction , and even set a trap one step ahead of the opponent, turning defense into offense."

In the firelight, Altan stared at his eyes like flowing gold, bursting out with pride at this moment: "My Unig, all the lakes in Ulan Mountain combined are not as deep as your wisdom. You are my only one. Confidant person."

Zhu Helin and Jing Hong chased each other and murmured at the same time: Is this a compliment to Mr. Qinghe?This is turning a corner to praise yourself!Shameless.

Su Yan's ears were a little hot, so he just pretended not to hear, and continued: "At the same time, this is also a test of the Great Ming - to test the national strength, to test the bottom line of the monarch and his ministers, so as to judge the "Southern Union and Westward Advance" proposed in my proposal. 'Strategy, does it really have a sufficiently ambitious prospect? Have you come to a conclusion so far?

"Your army has easily entered the Gyeonggi area. Do you feel that Da Ming's combat power is weak?"

Altan thought for a while, and replied: "In the beginning, I did feel this way. But the deeper I went into the territory of Ming Country, the more I felt something was wrong... Later, I wanted to understand the current situation. , then my Northern Desert Cavalry may even have a hard time with the Jingbei Army, let alone the soldiers coming to the capital."

"From what point do you want to understand?" Su Yan asked.

Altan looked at him intently: "General Jingbei and Zhu Xu, king of Yu, have disappeared. Although I haven't fought him much, I have long been fascinated by the 'God of War' who became famous in northern Xinjiang more than ten years ago. The moment he led the army to charge, I knew that this is a hero who would rather die in battle than retreat half a step. Such a person would hide in a fief to avoid the battle? Even if he was chained, he would He will try his best to break the shackles, unless...the iron chains are tied on his hands and feet by himself for others to see."

Su Yan's heart was agitated, he couldn't help clenching his fists, and inhaled: "Is there any more?"

"And there is this master of swordsmanship that is invincible in the world." Altan looked at Jing Hong helplessly, "He followed me like a gangrene, so that after entering the territory of Ming Kingdom, I couldn't sleep a night. I have to be safe, always worrying that I will sleep with my head and get up without my head."

"He said it was his own intention to monitor me, and that he didn't want you to trust me too much. But if I really believed this statement, I would overestimate myself and underestimate you too much." Altan smiled wryly , "I know that Jing Hongzhui came here on your order. You who gave the order were not my Unig and God-given Ke Dun, but the important minister of the Ming Dynasty and the second assistant of the cabinet—Su Yan, Su Qinghe."

A trace of guilt flashed across Su Yan's heart, but he didn't look away.He said solemnly: "Altan, I am your Unig, but I am also Su Twelve of Daming."

Altan said: "It is precisely because I want to understand this that I can sit across from the emperor of Mingguo across the bonfire. Unig, you have tried your best, and I hope that I can establish a common enemy with him and give the two countries a common enemy." Isn't the common prospect to explore a longer-term peace in the current peace?"

The stone that had been weighing heavily on Su Yan's heart for two months finally fell to the ground. He sighed in admiration, and turned to Zhu Helin: "He Lin, now you know why I refuse to turn my back on Altan? Not only did I do it for myself when I lost my memory He is responsible for the affairs and the promises he has made, and it is because he is worth it. Even if he really looks like a monster, he is still a prairie eagle in my mind."

Zhu Helin clenched his teeth, and the muscles in his cheeks twitched slightly.He can't lose, and he will never lose. He is the emperor of Ming Dynasty, and he will become a wise king who will create a prosperous world in the future.With a hero like Altan sitting in Beimo, it is difficult for Daming to hit the foot of the opponent's royal city like in Taizu's time. Even if Qile and Lin were turned into killing Hucheng back then, Huren still kept killing them. What remains is the border war that has lasted for a hundred years.

Improving relations with Beimo can save military expenses, control the financial expenditure of the imperial court, and benefit the prosperity of the frontier in the long run... Qinghe's diplomatic strategy is correct.

He can see the vision of the country that Qinghe wants to realize from just a few words; he may not be willing to accept Qinghe's practice of putting his own political ambitions above all personal affairs, but if he does not stand on the same position, he may be in the same position. The color of Jiangshan Sheji map drawn by the other party's own hands gradually dimmed.

"...The meaning of Shenghan's words is to set up a game to fight back against the chess players, so as to show my sincerity of surrender, and from now on, we will never end the border dust and seek common welfare for the people of the two countries?" Zhu Helin never imagined, I will be more like an emperor than ever in this wild place without a house, in this kind of head-to-head meeting that can't even be called an audience.

Altan said seriously: "Since the two countries are independent from each other, how can they submit to each other?"

Zhu Helin: "Hua Yi is a family, and I am appointed by heaven to be the son of heaven. What is covered by the sky and what is contained on the earth are all my children. How can there be each other?"

Altan: "The Central Plains has the destiny of the Central Plains, and the Northern Desert has the gods of the Northern Desert. If the beliefs of the people's hearts are still inconsistent, how can we insist on co-ruling with the Lord?"

Zhu Helin: "Without concentricity, it is difficult to share the same path. For more than a hundred years, the Northern Desert has been capricious and has invaded the Central Plains from time to time. If it is not controlled by me, the flames of war will last for a while, but will not last forever."

Altan: "The covenant is established, the national policy is in parallel, and both sides are mutually beneficial. If you don't break the covenant, I will not make Beimo repeat in my lifetime. After a hundred years, the changes in the world cannot be predicted by you or me, nor can you and I control them. Whether it is war or peace at that time depends on the fortunes of the two countries."

Zhu Helin was silent for a moment, before throwing out an ambiguous sentence: "Let's wait and see."

But everyone present knew well that the two monarchs were basically close in their intentions, and the rest was a bargain between countries where every inch of land must be contested and every inch of profit must be occupied.

At this moment, even Su Yan, who is in the core position, did not realize that this important meeting between the two heads of state, which was recorded in the annals of history under the name of "Qinghe peace conference" and dubbed "bonfire peace conference" by later generations, would actually be On such a night surrounded by the fire and smelling the aroma of barbecue in the distance, it completed its historical mission in the mountains and fields where the sky is the quilt and the ground is the bed.

What Su Yan is thinking at the moment is how to let Mr. He see a beautiful battlefield, so that the players behind the scenes can feel at ease about the cooperation and combat effectiveness of Altan's side, so that they can jump out of the chaotic torrent of the capital. Appear to reap the fruits of victory.

The shadow in the dark may not have imagined that its huge figure is endowed by the darkness, once it is exposed to strong light, there will be no shelter.Maybe I thought of it, but I was reluctant to give up all the costs I had paid before.Su Yan believed that the moment of victory was the moment when it was closest to extinction, but he didn't know if he had enough ability to completely eradicate it.

He wants to use all available people and gather all the strength he can gather.In this last chess move, he will do his best to compete with the players for victory and defeat, life and death.

Even if he is not very good at chess.

Once upon a time, a man patiently taught him how to play chess.The man didn't allow him to regret the game, but allowed him to play wild on his lap, and said to him: "One eye and ten hands."When the opponent makes a move, you can guess his next ten moves and the branches of each move. No matter how the opponent changes hands, the countermeasures can flash in your mind, which is considered an introduction.

Am I getting started?Su Yan felt flustered and couldn't help but want to call that person's name.

A light of inspiration suddenly jumped out of his mind, he grabbed Zhu Helin's wrist abruptly, and asked abruptly, "You have sent people to search inside and outside the capital for so long, have you ever looked for the Indus Water Pavilion?"

Zhu Helin was taken aback by Su Yan's question, and then realized that the other party was probably referring to his father, so he asked back, "Where is the Wutong Water Pavilion? Where is it?"

Su Yan said hastily: "In order to avoid the eyes and ears of Jin Yiwei, the king of Yu secretly bought another courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing. It was hidden in the dense forest on the top of the mountain, and it was very secretive. The emperor had doubts, but he still didn't investigate carefully. It can be regarded as a kind of understanding and a kind of compensation for King Yu, who was imprisoned in Beijing, to leave his sight for a short time. "

Zhu Helin asked: "Why did Qinghe suddenly mention this?"

Su Yan murmured: "Maybe... maybe I guessed where the emperor is."
