1410 Tempest
History has long disappeared from its original appearance. At this time, the Central Plains, grasslands, even the distant desert Gobi, the desolate and rough Helan Mountains, and the Pamirs that continue to go westward, Song Ting now has big or small influence.
Now the influence of Song Ting on the grassland is like the sudden change of weather above the grassland, with dark clouds covered with lightning and thunder. After a while, as dozens of riders rushed into the camp of hundreds of tents, the dark sky was surrounded by strong winds and ushered in heavy rain.
The light armor on his body was soaked in an instant. When Ogedei walked into the tent of Chagatai, he had already started to take off his light armor on his body and slapped the rainwater on his body.
Chagatai held the horse milk wine and looked at Ogedei who was walking in with a smile: "How? Is there any new news about Yaoli's family?"
When he slapped the rainy Wogedei, he paused his movements, then threw the light armor aside, walked to the opposite side of the Chagatai and sat down, and said, "Song Ting Ye Qing arrived in Changling..."
"He has gone to see Yao Li, too?" Chagatai's heart tightened, and he leaned forward and asked Ogedei.
Ogedei shook his head silently, and then said, "No, it was Yao Li who went to Changling to visit Ye Qing."
"What? Yao Li actually took the initiative to visit Ye Qing?" Chagatai's face was full of shock. During these days, no matter he or Ogedei, even Tolei and Chi Lao Wen, the commander of the Qixue Army, could not let Yao Li leave the small town.
In a last resort, he had to send his confidant to visit Yao Li with great sincerity, and the same was true for Ogedei. Tolei and Chi Lao Wen also have no prestige in Yao Li now, and they have to send people to a small town to visit Yao Li, who has three sons and one nephew.
But now, after Song Ting Ye Qing arrived in Changling, he easily let Yao Li walk out of the small town and went to Changling to visit him in person!
Chagatai's heart sank, his face suddenly became solemn, and he said, "So, is Yao Li planning to join Song Ting Ye Qing?"
Ogedei shook his head silently again, and then said, "The news just passed, Ye Qing may not have agreed with Yao Li, and Yao Li has returned to the small town. I think it may be our last chance now. Tolei and Chi Lao Wen may have received the news, so I guess they will definitely visit Yao Li again."
"But Yao Li's attitude last time, and Chi Lao Wen was the commander of the Qixue Army, if he had not agreed with Ye Qing, he would be determined not to turn against Chi Lao Wen. We have little chance." Chagatai said with some scheming and good at making up.
Ogedei opened his mouth, but for a while, he couldn't think of a reason for how to make Chagatai unable to detect his abnormality and be willing to continue to contact Yao Li.
After all, if he no longer contacted Yao Li, then Yao Li secretly sent someone to show his kindness to him. It would be difficult for him to refuse such a seductive attitude.
Chagatai has been immersed in his own thoughts and has not discovered the abnormality of Ogedei. He also said that Ogedei is still worried about him.
Taking a deep breath, Chagatai obviously didn't want to watch it. Yao Li surrendered to Chi Lao Wen and continued to be loyal to Tolei.
After all, Ye Qing and Ye Wuque were there before Tolei. If Yao Li continues to be loyal and surrenders to them, although there is still a fundamental difference between joining Ye Qing, at least, Tolei will eventually win.
If Tolei had a complete Qixue army in his hand, then even if he became a Mongolian Khan, Tolei would be a threat and could always replace him.
The tent was blown by the storm outside, as if it would overturn the entire tent in the next moment.
"Third brother..." Chagatai spoke solemnly.
"Second brother..." Ogedei looked up, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.
The Chagatai, who was paying attention to the storm outside, did not notice the panic flashes in Ogedei's eyes. Even the panic flashes, as bright as a lightning bolt in the dark clouds outside.
"At present, maybe... you are the only one who travels for your second brother in person, but there is a storm outside..., my second brother really can't bear to see you in the rain..." Chagatai said with a embarrassed look.
Ogede straightened up, his eyes becoming brighter than the lights in the tent. He looked at Chagatai and nodded heavily and said, "Second brother, I'll go. If there is no explanation, I'll set off immediately."
Chagatai finally breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a little while, and said, "Then I will have a third brother. After seeing Yao Li, I told him that in addition to what I promised her before, I, Chagatai, can also assure her that when I become the Khan of the Great Mongolian Kingdom, no one dares to touch her. Even if I, Chagatai, will treat her as my mother, and will never let her be like the other women of my father's Khan..."
After saying that, Chagatai looked at Ogedei and nodded, saying, "You go, remember to be careful on the way, especially Chi Lao Wen or someone from Song Ting."
"Well, I will be careful." Ogedei stood up and nodded.
Seeing Ogedei walking to the door of the tent and picking up the light armor covered with rain, Chagatai breathed a sigh of relief again. He believed that the promise he made to Yao Li this time would definitely impress her more than the last time he gave to Yao Li.
The reason why he was so sure was naturally because after Temujin's death, the fate of the women left behind was no longer in his own hands.
Chi Lao Wen has always had some thoughts about Yao Li. If Yao Li continues to surrender to Chi Lao Wen or is loyal to Tuole, then it is very likely that Tuole will give her Yao Li to Chi Lao Wen in the future.
This is something that Yao Li didn't want to see, and he was unwilling to agree to Yao Li's point at the beginning because he also held the idea of using Yao Li to win over Chi Lao Wen.
But at the moment, seeing the situation becoming increasingly unfavorable to him, Chagatai had to give up his plan to rely on Yao Li to win over Chi Lao Wen.
Although Chi Lao Wen's Qiexue army was more important than Yao Li's hand, if even Yao Li's branch was lost, the situation would only be more unfavorable to him.
It is better to have it than not. And after winning over Yao Li's family, after everything is a foregone conclusion, it is not too late to use Yao Li's family to win over Chi Lao Wen. Even if it cannot win over, at least there is a part of Qi Xue Jun in his hands, right?
So no matter what, for him, even if he only has a part of the Qiexue Army, he is better than nothing, and the significance of the Qiexue Army is not simply reflected in combat effectiveness.
After all, the Qiexue army represents the will and influence of his father Khan Temujin. Therefore, even if the Qiexue army, which only has a part of the Qiexue army, is of little use in combat power, at least it can influence the relatively neutral position of some tribe khans through them.
It was raining heavily outside, lightning and thundering, and the dark clouds above the grassland, from time to time, bright lightning could illuminate the entire grassland in an instant, making the thick clouds seem to be a little lower, and it is very likely to swallow the entire grassland.
Chi Lao Wen ran into Ye Wuque's tent in the rain. Only Ye Wuque and Mo Xiaobao were drinking tea and chatting in the tent.
The little nerd still had a book on his back. His appearance made Chi Lao Wen dislike him all the time. I wonder what the little guy always meant to give a book on the back of his head. Could it be that he could finish the book on the back of his head? "Oh? What wind has blown you over?" Ye Wuque's eyes lit up, and he smiled at Chi Lao Wen who came in in the rain.
Chi Lao Wen had no expression on his face, and casually wiped the rain from his face and said coldly: "What wind? Tell me what wind is now outside?"
"You sit down, look for me or...he?" Ye Wuque pointed at Mo Xiaobao.
Chi Lao Wen ignored Ye Wuque's question and then looked at Mo Xiaobao.
Mo Xiaobao then smiled and said, "Okay, then you can talk to the little prince. I will go and see if Wanyan Congyi's tent is stable or not, don't be washed down by heavy rain."
"Mr. Mo is relieved. He has never heard of the tent we set up being knocked down by heavy rain. If Commander. Mo thinks so, he underestimates us, Qi Xuejun too much, right?" Chi Lao Wen's face still looked a little unkind.
Mo Xiaobao was easy to talk to and didn't argue with Chi Lao Wen at all. He nodded and smiled, saying, "This is because I was negligent, so I'll go find Wanyan to drink from Yi." After that, he got out of the tent without waiting for Chi Lao Wen to speak.
After watching Mo Xiaobao walk out of the tent, Chi Lao Wen snorted and then sat down opposite Ye Wuque.
"Is there anything to ask me for?" Ye Wuque asked the cold old man Wen with a smile.
Chi Lao Wen didn't speak, and his wolf-like cold eyes looked at Ye Wuque quietly. After a while, he said, "Tell me the truth, what exactly does your father, King Yan, want to do? Why do you get involved in our grassland?"
"What is the purpose of the commander going to Yanjing with Tolei a few days ago?" Ye Wuque asked without answering.
Chi Lao Wen stared at the thin young scholar in front of him, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Is it for the Khan's position?"
"My father was not interested in the position of the Mongolian Khan, but... who ended up becoming the next Mongolian Khan is not only my father, but even the entire Song court is very interested."
"Even so, your father doesn't want to see Chagatai become a Khan, right?" Chi Lao Wen's implication was that their purpose of coming to the grassland this time was to sow discord.
Ye Wuque had a shadow of bullying Ye Qing, shrugged at Chi Lao Wen, and then said, "Unless you can ask Chagatai to guarantee that after he inherited the throne of Mongolian Khan, he will never move Tolei. Isn't this the purpose of you and Tolei going to Yanjing? Maybe... it is also the purpose of Khan?"
Chi Lao Wen stared at Ye Wuque, as if he wanted to see clearly the young man sitting in front of him. Is he really a young man, or is Ye Qing on the upper body?
Otherwise, the boy in front of him would be too old and he would not feel nervous at all when facing him.
This is not something that any young man can do. After all, as the commander of the Qiexue Army, which of the young warriors on the entire grassland is not trembling?
Even Tuo Lei was extremely respectful when he saw him.
"Since the commander cannot guarantee the safety of Tolei, how can we feel at ease to make Chagatai a Khan? Who knows if Chagatai becomes Khan, will one day suddenly send troops to the south?" Ye Wuque held the book on the back of his head in his hand, then smoothed it and placed it on a corner of the table.
Chi Lao Wen looked at Ye Wuque's actions: "Then how do you guarantee that the army under your father will not go north one day?"
"Mengsong family members are one family. Although wars between the Central Plains and the grasslands have been constantly for thousands of years, it has to be said that in the course of thousands of years, how can you be completely separated clearly? Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was once respected as Tian Khan by various tribes of the grassland. Now... whether it is the Song court or my father, although he will not force Mongolia to submit to the Song court, his family members are never willing to kill each other by the Song Dynasty."
"The young prince said these words, maybe he could deceive a three-year-old child, but he couldn't deceive me. Meng Song's family, your father doesn't want to see Meng Song kill each other, but the Jin, Xia and Liao Kingdoms were all destroyed by your father, right?"
"Your father and my Khan are also an accomplice? When your father and Temujin Khan joined forces to destroy Xia Liao and Jin, it was just that they hoped that we would unify, that they did not want to see us continue to kill each other. You see, how good is now, the people of Xia and Liao are now living and working in peace and contentment, and no longer have to suffer from war. This is even more so in the Jin Dynasty. There is no war now, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, isn't it a sign of a prosperous era?"
"What a sharp mouth, it's simply a slander." Chi Lao Wen said with some disdain.
Ye Wuque was a little helpless. The young man sighed in an old age, and then his eyes looked extremely sincere. He looked at Chi Lao Wen and said, "The grassland has a unique way of survival, and the Central Plains also has a way of survival. The two are completely different, and it is even more impossible for the Song court to turn all the grassland into arable land, and the grassland cannot turn all the arable land in the Central Plains into arable land. Therefore, there is a big difference between the two. Even my father, when he was most optimistic, never thought of assimilating the people on the grassland. He was full of respect for the grassland, especially for Temujin Khan. Otherwise, after Temujin Khan passed away, his father would take the opportunity to directly lead his troops north. Although Song court had already returned to suffer heavy casualties by then, I believe Mongolia would not be able to receive anything, but what can I get if I do this?"
"I have explained to Tolei before that, because Tolei is like you, is full of vigilance towards my father. Even if he took down the entire grassland, it is obviously contrary to the way of heaven to turn the vast grassland into arable land. My father has never had such an idea. Under the entrusted entrusted by Temujin Khan, what he wanted in the end was just to live in harmony and to let the people on the border of the Song court and the people on the grassland live a quiet and peaceful life, rather than living in the shadow of war all the time."
Ye Wuque's sincere words and expressions made Chi Laowen frown, and he had to think about Ye Wuque's words in his heart.
Then, without Ye Wuque's expectation, Chi Lao Wen got up and walked out, saying as he walked: "I'm thinking about it carefully, I'll come to find you tomorrow."
"Don't worry, I won't tell Tolei." Ye Wuque smiled.
