Chapter 138                                                                                                                             

After hearing this, Xiao Qin sighed softly in her heart.

It cannot be said that Xin Ai’s decision was wrong. But Xin Ai is not Altan after all. I don’t know if it is because of his youthful spirit or other reasons, but in short, he can’t hold back his anger. He can win but not lose, but the difference between people is not in how one does one do in good times? But in how one does one do in bad times?

Does the problem Xin Ai talks about exist?

exist.

Is there no other solution? Not necessarily? If Xin Ai's method was really followed, Liu Bei and Liu Bang were both defeated repeatedly, but their subordinates had long rebelled. Although they had different cultural genes, the truth was not completely different.

There is a saying that goes. Politics is the art of compromise.

If Xin Ai can weaken his figure, be good at dancing, and be willing to share power with others, this crisis may not have passed.

Unfortunately, Altan is a bit more of this method. But Xin Ai absolutely does not have it.

He will only respond with such tough means.

Xiao Qin did not intend to persuade him. On the one hand, although the strength of Datong is different now, Mongolia may not have no advantage of its own. Therefore, before the war, the winner was not decided. Secondly, going south has always been Xiao Qin's proposal. He was never afraid of Mongolia and the Ming army taking action. What he was most worried about was the peaceful coexistence between the two sides. In addition, Xin Ai had already said this.

Why should Xiao Qin touch Xin Ai's eyebrows?

Xiao Qin said: "Since the Khan said that, how could the old minister not help the Khan? "

Xin Ai's face immediately changed and became a little kinder. Although the smile was a bit fake, it was also obvious that Xin Ai was trying hard to learn how to be a big sweat. He said, "Why did the national teacher teach me?"

Xiao Qin said: "If the situation is to defeat Zhou Mengchen, there is no possibility around Datong and even nearby. It will either be anxious, as if it is in spring, the winner will be difficult to distinguish. Or it will be defeated by two defeats, or even like General Boyan."

"So, if we want to defeat Zhou Mengchen, we can only lead him out of our lair. After all, they are infantrymen. They rely too much on logistics support under long-distance marches. Most of our army is cavalry, so there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. No matter what kind of firearms, they will be worse than fire sticks without gunpowder."

Xin Ai said: "This is the only way to attract Zhou Mengchen out? Could it be that if Zhou Mengchen attacks Qingcheng?"

Xiao Qin said: "Of course not. It's just a slight change in the plan to attack Shanxi Town."

Xin Ai said: "Get Shanxi Town?"

Xin Ai has left this plan behind and is determined to deal with Zhou Mengchen. But she doesn't know why Xiao Qin came up with it again.

Xiao Qin said: "Yes, sir, if we attack Shanxi Town and among the Ming army, which town will arrive first?"

Xin Ai said: "It's either Datong or Shaanxi."

Needless to say, it is because Datong is north of Shanxi, and the Datong army is also famous all over the world. Before, there was a tradition of drawing Datong army in various places. In addition, the supply of Datong 710,000 stones of grain, hundreds of thousands of grain, and even various other materials were mostly transported from Shanxi.

This is also the principle of proximity in border transfer in the Ming Dynasty system.

Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Beizhili, Shandong, and other provinces have corresponding obligations to support each town. Among them, Shandong has the obligation to support Liaodong by sea, and also undertakes heavy service to maintain canals. Even Shandong has repeatedly made trouble, which is because it is too heavy.

It is impossible for Datong Town to take the money and grain that concerns Datong as much as it is.

The reason for Shaanxi Town is very simple. It is close and is only separated from Shanxi by a river. The Yellow River is along Shanxi and Shaanxi. Although there are areas that cannot be navigated like Hukou Waterfall, most rivers are not navigable. You can raft.

Xiao Qin said: "The troops and horses in Shaanxi have not been fought before. They just need to give a heavy blow, and I dare not act rashly in Shaanxi. They just need to do some things to lead the Datong army to chase them. Most of the Datong army is infantry. After pursuing thousands of miles, people are tired of horses, and the baggage may not be able to keep up. At that time, will we still be slaughtered?"

Xin Ai heard this and was very happy at first, then hesitated a little and said, "Can the Ming Dynasty court make us do what we want?"

Xiao Qin said: "I asked for some money and bribe the censors in Beijing. Naturally, someone reported that he urged Zhou Mengchen to fight quickly."

"And even if Zhou Mengchen is really a turtle, I will find a way to make Zhou Mengchen declare a great loss, and it is best to call out Datong. Moreover, the Khan will not confront Zhou Mengchen, and with the great achievements of defeating Shanxi Town, the rest will be able to calm down the issue.

Xin Ai sent Xiao Qin to contact Taiyuan's White Lotus Sect. Xin Ai completed this task very well. The entire Shanxi guide. Under Xiao Qin's management, it is not possible to say that the melon is ripe, but it is almost the same. There is a great possibility of success. Moreover, Xiao Qin paid a great price for this matter and also made many promises to Taiyuan's White Lotus Sect.

In fact, Xiao Qin was also very uncomfortable with Xin Ai's lack of characterization, but he had no choice but to meet such a boss. He could only turn around and pull Xin Ai to the point where he thought it was formal.

Xin Ai pondered for a moment and couldn't make up his mind.

With his ideas, it is best to be straightforward and push directly to Datong City to fight Zhou Mengchen. Instead of such an overly complex plan, even Xin Ai could not believe Xiao Qin. His overly complex plan could easily backfire.

But after thinking about it carefully, he had to admit that his method was not feasible.

If he attacked Datong directly, he would attack the side wall first. The side wall was easy to deal with. After all, the side wall of Datong was not too complete. But the problem was, how to deal with the things behind the side wall was either landmines. During this period, although Zhou Mengchen devoted all his energy to the Yulin Guard, not everyone else was idle. Countless soldiers, I don’t know how many landmines were arranged along the side wall, and even mines killed their own people several times. This was also a solution.

When Xin Ai thinks of this mine formation, he feels a little bit angry.

But attacking other places, such as attacking the Yulin Guard, pulled out the Ming army's nail outside the pass. Xin Ai felt a headache just by thinking about it. The Ming munitions are powerful, but now they can't even attack them in a flat array. He thought with his toes, and he knew that the Yulin Guard must have a large amount of firearm equipment. If he said that the same sentence, he might not be able to fight. But what should he do if the casualties? He didn't dare to pay the price. But he could not do a big battle, killing tens of thousands of people.

Based on the Mongolian population base, such a battle would lead to the innocence of 20 years.

The innate attributes of the Mongols cannot fight such a tragic war.

I really take shortcuts after thinking about it.

Xin Ai thought for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "Just let the National Master An take charge of the work. Mr. Zhang stayed behind Xijing and was the first Khan in charge of all affairs in Qingcheng."

Zhang Hui said: "I will accept the order."

Xin Ai's son was too young and could not control power at all. Zhang Hui was a Han man with no foundation in Mongolia. In Xin Ai's opinion, he could only be loyal to him. Moreover, Zhang Hui's ability to do things was also trusted by Xin Ai. Therefore, he gave such an important task to Zhang Hui.

Zhang Hui felt a little moved. Zhang Hui had just arrived in Mongolia last year. Within a year, she went from prison to Xijing to stay. This was certainly because of the simple position of Mongolia and no fixed rules, but Xin Ai's promotion and attention were indispensable.

This kind of grace of knowing what you want is worth.

But when Zhang Hui thought of the tragic death of his elders in his hometown, everything in his heart faded.

He said in his heart: "It's a pity that the door is not right and the household is not right. It's a pity that I wish I could meet before I got married."

If the family is not right or the household is wrong, it means that Xin Ai is not the king of China. He wishes that he would meet before he married. However, he knew that he was loyal to the Ming Dynasty first and was already a wise minister, so naturally he could not be loyal to Mongolia again.

Zhang Hui was determined and began to think of a way to pass on the information.

It’s just a pity that Xiao Qin emphasized suddenness this time. To attack the border, it is best to go to the border city within one night. Therefore, it is strictly confidential. Indeed, the so-called strict confidentiality in this era cannot be compared with later generations. But the problem is that the information exchange tool in this era cannot be compared with later generations.

Xiao Qin's blocking made the intelligence lose its timeliness and did not have the function of warning at all.
