After Zhao Junchen and Liang Fuchen left the room, Ba Gen kept thinking about the same question in his mind - should he pretend to agree to cooperate first, and then break the contract and fall out after regaining his freedom?
The unruly nature of the Mongolian people and Bagan's hatred for Zhao Junchen made him unwilling to be led by Zhao Junchen in any case, nor was he willing to see Zhao Junchen successfully implement his plan.
But after Bagan thought carefully for a long time, he found out helplessly that there seemed to be only one way for him to go - and that was to act honestly according to Zhao Junchen's plan.
Other than that, Bagan didn't have any other options.
Just like what Zhao Junchen said just now, the Junggar cavalry does not have the ability to provide logistical supplies on the grassland, and the tribes in the grassland are full of hostility towards them, so Bagan cannot directly lead the Junggar cavalry back to the Western Region without doing anything.
Otherwise, the Junggar cavalry will only be completely annihilated under the heavy encirclement of the Mongolian right wing.
From a selfish point of view, Bagan can be said to have lost his troops this time. If there is no gain, he will definitely be severely punished by Galdan after he returns to the Junggar Khanate. It is very likely that his life will not be saved. The only way is to find a way
Only by bringing back a batch of food and supplies can he be forgiven by Galdan.
Therefore, Bagan could not ignore Zhao Junchen's plan.
Of course, there is another way to destroy Zhao Junchen's plan, that is, after Bagan returns to the grassland, he will fully inform the Mongolian right wing of Zhao Junchen's plan, and choose to cooperate with the Mongolian right wing again, so that Zhao Junchen can steal the chicken without losing.
rice!
But there are three obvious problems with this choice.
First, there was the hatred between the Junggar Khanate and the Mongolian right wing.
In the past year, first the Junggar Khanate sent troops to invade the grassland, forcing the Mongolian right wing to surrender, and then the Mongolian right wing rebelled against the enemy during the decisive battle on the Wei River, causing the Junggar cavalry to suffer heavy losses. The two sides were completely at odds. It can be said that
The hatred is irreconcilable!
Especially the sudden rebellion of the Mongolian right wing has become a knot in Bagan's heart - compared to the enemies in front of them, everyone hates the traitors around them more!
Perhaps while Bagan was thinking about this issue, the Mongolian right wing had already sent troops to encircle and suppress the Junggar branch on the grassland, and the hatred between the two sides would only become deeper and deeper!
Therefore, unless there is a last resort, it will be difficult for both parties to put aside their hatred and cooperate again!
Secondly, there is the issue of trust between the Junggar Khanate and the Mongolian right wing.
The Junggar Khanate does not trust the Mongolian right wing and has always wanted to annex them; the Mongolian right wing does not trust the Junggar Khanate either. They are well aware of the Junggar Khanate's ambitions and have been secretly guarding against it.
Therefore, even if Bagan informs the Mongolian right wing of Zhao Junchen’s plan, the Mongolian right wing may not believe it immediately; even if the Mongolian right wing believes Bagan’s statement, it does not mean that the Mongolian right wing will eventually let Bagan go.
With the Junggar army.
Especially after several losses, the Junggar cavalry is already at a disadvantage compared to the Mongolian right wing. Once Bagan chooses to cooperate with the Mongolian right wing again, it will inevitably be a situation where the main force is strong and the guest is weak.
They would lose their autonomy and be forced to do some thankless things - such as fighting as a vanguard and consuming each other's forces with the Han army, while the Mongolian right wing stayed behind to reap the benefits.
At that time, the Junggar army will once again lose troops and generals, and it is hard to say how much strength it can retain.
When the Mongolian right wing and the Junggar Khanate join forces to repel the Han army, the Mongolian right wing will probably become ruthless again.
If they were to change places, Bagan would definitely do this, so Bagan believed that Qiyan, the leader of the Mongolian right wing, would definitely use the same method.
The last and most important issue is the distribution of benefits after the war.
If Bagan chooses to cooperate with the Mongolian right wing again, the only benefit that the Junggar Khanate and the Mongolian right wing can reap is the two hundred thousand stones of food and grass.
Two hundred thousand stones of grain and grass may seem like a lot, but it is also an embarrassing figure. It will only cover half of the Mongolian right wing's food gap for this winter.
For the Mongolian right-wingers, after obtaining this batch of grain and grass, if they can grit their teeth and slaughter a batch of cattle and sheep that have not yet been fattened, and use their savings from previous years, they may be able to survive this cold winter.
Therefore, even if they will not become merciless after the war, they will never distribute this batch of food and grass to Bagan and the Junggar Khanate.
At the same time, the situation of the Junggar Khanate is similar. After obtaining this batch of food and grass, there is still hope to survive this winter, even if it is a little less, so Bagan does not want the Mongolian right wing and the Junggar Khanate to share this batch of food and grass.
.
In this way, even if the two parties can still cooperate closely in the early stage, they will definitely fall out because of this batch of food and grass after the war.
Never underestimate the frenzy of grassland peoples competing for food during natural disasters!
In short, if Bagan chooses to cooperate with the Mongolian right wing again, he will not only hand over his fate to the Mongolian right wing, but he will also be thankless and may even be betrayed a second time.
In this way, after thinking about it, Bagan found that the only way he could go was to cooperate with Zhao Junchen!
According to Zhao Junchen's plan, as long as Bagan can escape in time after grabbing this batch of food, it will not be easy for the Mongolian right-wing army to catch up with them; even if the Mongolian right-wing army catches up with them, as long as Bagan insists
Time is long enough, and when news of the changes in the Hetao Plain comes, all crises will be resolved.
As long as the plan goes well, Bagan can not only keep the troops in hand, but also enjoy the 200,000 stones of food and grass exclusively. Although it also requires certain risks, it is much better than other options.
Thinking of this, Bagan suddenly cursed fiercely, and then said in a vicious voice: "Since the Mongolian right wing can cooperate with the Han people, why can't we, the Junggar Khanate? Who on the grassland will care about the feelings of the same race? As long as it is
If we can keep our vitality and get food and grass, who can we cooperate with without cooperation? They were the first to be unjust, so don’t blame me for being ruthless now!"
*
On the other side, after Zhao Junchen and Liang Fuchen walked out of the room, Liang Fuchen asked: "Junchen, do you think Bagan will agree to cooperate with us?"
Zhao Junchen nodded and said calmly: "Looking at his reaction, there is a high probability that he will not resist! He is a person who knows how to consider the pros and cons, and he is also a loyal person who takes the overall situation into consideration. It is not easy to deal with this kind of person.
It’s not difficult, you can easily figure out his bottom line and stance!”
After a pause, Zhao Junchen said again: "This time, when targeting the Mongolian right wing, I used conspiracy, but when facing Bagan, I used conspiracy... I have used the best
The road is before him. As long as he thinks about it seriously, he will find that cooperating with us is his only choice. Only by cooperating with us can he maintain his vitality, reap benefits and minimize risks. Otherwise, he will only harm others.
It’s just not beneficial to oneself.”
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Liang Fuchen looked a little awkward.
When Zhao Junchen commented on Bagan, Liang Fuchen always felt that he was insinuating himself.
But Liang Fuchen did not continue to dwell on this issue, and just said: "In this case, many things need to be prepared as soon as possible... For example, some of the Dzunggar prisoners in the prisoner of war camp must be selected as soon as possible, and they cannot be allowed to starve anymore.
Otherwise, they will not be able to function after returning to the grassland...and the two hundred thousand stones of food and grass also need to be prepared as soon as possible."
Zhao Junchen nodded and said: "I have prepared these things in advance. As long as Bagan is willing to cooperate with us, I can immediately move forward with the next plan."
Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen showed admiration and turned to Liang Fuchen and said: "Speaking of which, Mr. Liang Ge's responsibility and courage are all admired by the younger generation. If it weren't for Mr. Liang Ge, would you be willing to share this responsibility with me?
With all the risks and responsibilities involved in this plan, I am afraid I just don’t have the courage to carry it out on my own.”
In Zhao Junchen's plan, in order to regain the Hetao as soon as possible and reduce losses and obstacles, he not only had to give 200,000 stones of food and grass to the Mongols, but also privately released the most important prisoner Bagan.
All matters were not discussed with the court in advance and did not receive approval from the court.
It’s not that Zhao Junchen deliberately hid this from the imperial court, but the road between Shaanxi and Gansu and the capital was far away. If he wanted to consult the imperial court, it would take a long time, and the imperial court might not agree to Zhao Junchen’s proposal.
In the end, Zhao Junchen will only miss the opportunity.
But whether it is to give 200,000 stones of grain and grass to the Mongols, or to release the captive Bagan privately, these two things are no small matter, especially if something unexpected happens to this plan, the 200,000 stones of grain and grass will be discussed with Bagan.
It might all be in vain. Naturally, Zhao Junchen did not dare to bear this responsibility alone, nor did he dare to bear this risk alone.
This is one of the reasons why Zhao Junchen is willing to let Liang Fuchen jointly implement such a plan with him. In addition to the fact that Zhao Junchen believes that he will soon return to the capital and cannot preside over this plan for a long time, it is also because with Liang Fuchen's shared responsibility,
The imperial court would not pursue Zhao Junchen's private actions excessively.
In fact, after Zhao Junchen achieved the feat of annihilating the Mongolian coalition forces, he had to face a situation where there was no reward in a short period of time. Even if he gained the merit of regaining the Hetao, the income and benefits would not increase much. It can be said that Zhao Junchen
The reason why Junchen promoted the plan to regain the Loop was largely out of public concern, so Zhao Junchen was not willing to take too many risks and responsibilities for this.
On the other side, after hearing Zhao Junchen's admiration and praise, Liang Fuchen said with a serious expression: "This plan does have some risks, but if it is successfully realized, the casualties and losses of the soldiers when they go to Hetao in the future will at least be acceptable.
By reducing it by 60 to 70%, the time it took for the imperial court to recover the Hetao could also be reduced by half. In comparison, it only cost 200,000 stones of food and some prisoners. This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, and I am naturally duty-bound!
"
Liang Fuchen didn't seem to want to compliment each other with Zhao Junchen. At this point, he turned back to the topic again and said: "Once this plan succeeds, we will naturally gain the greatest benefits, but the Junggar Khanate will also retain its vitality.
, got food and grass, so that they can survive this cold winter, gradually recover their strength, and they will definitely make a comeback!
At the same time, after your plan, the Mongolian right wing must have been greatly weakened, and will no longer be able to resist the annexation of the Junggar Khanate... The Khan Galdan of the Junggar Khanate is an ambitious man.
I am afraid that I will become a serious trouble for the imperial court from now on!"
As he spoke, Liang Fuchen's expression was full of worry.
Zhao Junchen's complete annihilation of the Mongolian coalition this time did have an element of luck. It was largely due to the Mongolian coalition's contempt for the Han army. But if the Junggar Khanate recovered its vitality, unified the Mongolian grassland, and formed it again
If the Mongolian coalition forces come back, it will be difficult for Shaanxi and Gansu to resist.
Liang Fuchen had a long-term vision, so he was naturally a little worried when he thought of this.
However, Zhao Junchen didn't care and said with a smile: "It's also my fault that I didn't explain my plan clearly yesterday... In fact, I also ambushed the Junggar Khanate!"
Liang Fuchen was slightly startled and asked quickly: "Oh? What kind of backhand is this?"
Zhao Junchen said slowly: "This time, I gave 200,000 shi of grain to the Mongols. This number was not randomly thought of, but was carefully considered!
For the Mongolian right wing, this batch of food is only half of their winter food shortage this year, so they will inevitably suffer from hidden troubles because of this batch of food;
At the same time, for the Junggar Khanate, this batch of food is only enough to barely fill the stomachs of their own people, but in the Western Region under their rule, the people of all ethnic groups in Mobei will not be able to get even a little food! This way
As a result, the relationship between the Junggar tribe and the various ethnic groups in the Western Region and Mobei will further deteriorate, and internal hidden dangers will further deepen!"
After a pause, seeing Liang Fuchen's thoughtful expression, Zhao Junchen smiled again and continued: "Moreover, I have a chess piece in my hand, which will be of great use soon! It just so happens that I want to compete with this chess piece."
The chess pieces have met, do you want Mr. Liang Ge to go with you?"
Zhao Junchen's deliberately showy appearance made Liang Fuchen a little unhappy, but he still did not show his emotions. He just nodded and said: "Since it is so important, I naturally want to see it with my own eyes."
Zhao Junchen smiled and said: "Mr. Liang Ge, please come this way!"
After saying that, Zhao Junchen led Liang Fuchen towards the other end of the Governor's Mansion.
The two came to the other side of the Governor's Mansion. Liang Fuchen found that several soldiers were quietly guarding a room. Apparently there were important people in this room.
After Zhao Junchen nodded to Liang Fuchen, he walked to the door of the room and raised his hand to knock gently.
Then, Liang Fuchen heard someone in the room say in Mongolian: "Come in!"
As this voice came, Zhao Junchen and Liang Fuchen pushed the door open and entered.
Then, Liang Fuchen saw an old man dressed as a foreigner sitting at a round table in the room.
After seeing Zhao Junchen, the old man quickly stood up to greet him, with a flattering smile on his face and a lot of compliments in Mongolian.
Zhao Junchen pointed at the old man dressed in a foreign costume and introduced to Liang Fuchen: "Mr. Liang Ge, this person's name is Su He. He is the leader of the Chagatai tribe, a large clan in the Western Regions. The Chagatai army was originally from the Junggar Khanate.
One of the servants, he followed Bagan to invade our territory, but during the decisive battle on the Weishui River, he, like Qie Gemu, betrayed the enemy."
Upon hearing Zhao Junchen's introduction, Liang Fuchen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he vaguely understood Zhao Junchen's thoughts.
Then, seeing that Zhao Junchen wanted to talk to Su He, Liang Fuchen once again took the initiative to take on the translation work.
Zhao Junchen still had a harmless smile. After exchanging greetings with Su He, he suddenly changed the subject and said: "Chief Su He, your Excellency and the warriors from Chagatai were on the Weishui battlefield.
I am deeply grateful to you for your great understanding of justice and justice, and to join our Han soldiers in resisting the invasion of the Junggar Khanate!"
Su He, who has always been able to bend and stretch, quickly apologized and said with a smile: "We Chagatai tribes have not been resentful of the brutality of the Junggar Khanate for a long time, and we also admire the bravery of the Han army. Joining forces with the Han warriors to deal with the Junggar Khanate is ours."
pleasure!"
Zhao Junchen's smile grew wider and he said: "According to the original agreement, after the Chagatai cavalry rebelled against the enemy, we will also ensure that you leave the Han territory safely, but considering that the Chagatai tribe was once part of the Junggar Khanate,
Members, you are also hostile to the tribes on the grassland. If you want to return to the Western Regions smoothly, you will be in danger."
After hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Su He also looked worried.
Since surrendering to the Han army, Su He has been thinking about how to return to the Western Regions smoothly, but has never found a way.
Seeing Su He's worried expression, Zhao Junchen continued: "But here, I want to tell Chief Su He some good news. In about half a month, our Han army will go out to the grassland to attack the Ordos tribe.
, Recover the Hetao Plain! By that time, the entire grassland will be in chaos, and no one will care about the Chagatai cavalry. You can take this opportunity to return to the Western Regions! In order to show the sincerity of our Han court, I will also
I’ll give you a batch of food and grass so that you don’t have to worry about logistical supplies on the way home!”
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Su He suddenly became ecstatic and thanked Zhao Junchen repeatedly. He felt that Zhao Junchen kept his promise, respected his allies, and was a kind man.
However, before Su He could further express his gratitude, Zhao Junchen said: "By the way, there is one more thing I want to inform you. After the Mongolian coalition commander Bagan was captured, he has expressed his willingness to surrender until the Han army goes out to fight.
When Mongolia invades, Bogen will also lead the Junggar army on the grassland to help... Because of Bogen's sincere attitude, I have decided to forgive his crime of invading Han territory this time. After the Han army conquers the Hetao Plain, I will
Bagan will also be released back to the Western Region!"
As Zhao Junchen finished speaking, Su He was stunned and his face suddenly turned pale.
According to Su He's wishful thinking, with the complete destruction of the Mongol coalition in the Weishui battlefield, no one can prove Su He's betrayal. Therefore, after Su He leads the Chagatai troops back to the Western Regions, he can still become Junggar Khan.
As the "obedient people" of the country, everything will be safe and sound.
But now, if Bagan is allowed to return to the Western Regions, Su He's betrayal will no longer be concealed. At that time, the entire Chagatai tribe will need to face the fierce revenge of the Junggar Khanate, and it may turn into
The disaster of genocide.
"You, how can you do this? The Chagatai tribes are already allies of your Han court! How can you betray us? Once Bagan returns to the Western Regions, the entire Chagatai tribe will be destroyed.
!Is this how you Han people treat your allies?"
Su He pointed at Zhao Junchen and accused him emotionally.
Zhao Junchen's smile did not change and he said: "According to the original agreement, you Chagatai tribes rebelled on the Weishui battlefield, but our Han court let you live. Now we have fulfilled our commitments and even took the initiative.
I have funded you with a batch of grain and grass as supplies... As for my decision to return Bagan to the Western Region, this is an agreement between us and Bagan, but it has nothing to do with your Chagatai tribe! Now I will inform you of the news in advance,
It’s already out of goodwill, you should be grateful!”
After a pause, Zhao Junchen saw Su He's body trembling. He was obviously extremely angry, but he said meaningfully: "Actually, you Chagatai tribe can be considered a big clan in the Western Region, so why bother?"
Do you want to be a slave to the Junggar Khanate? After the Battle of the Wei River, the Junggar Khanate was also severely weakened. If you can contact all the ethnic groups in the Western Regions to resist together, you may not be able to overthrow the brutal rule of the Junggar Khanate! To take a step back, even if
You are unwilling to resist the Junggar Khanate, but the Great Khan of the Junggar Khanate is not only Galdan. Isn’t the reckless strategy currently recruiting troops at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains also claiming to be the Junggar Khan? If the Chagatai tribes can get the foolish strategy
Why should we worry about Galdan’s revenge anymore if we are protected by him?”
After saying that, Zhao Junchen turned around and left.
After leaving Su He's room again, Liang Fuchen thought about Zhao Junchen's methods today. Although he never liked compliments and politeness, he couldn't help but admired: "Junchen, you have used the Mongolian right wing to deal with Zhao Junchen during this period.
The Junggar Khanate, and then used the Junggar Khanate to deal with the Mongolian right wing. After the Junggar Khanate finally retreated from the grassland, there were still backhands from the Chagatai tribe waiting for them... Such a combination
The horizontal means, one after another, are no less than those of Su Qin and Zhang Yi in the Spring and Autumn Period!"
As he spoke in admiration, Liang Fuchen's eyes flickered slightly, but his vigilance and wariness towards Zhao Junchen became even deeper.
Zhao Junchen shook his head and said with a smile: "It's just a small trick to take advantage of the situation. How can I dare to compare with the sages."
Liang Fuchen shook his head and said: "The four words 'taking advantage of the situation' seem simple, but how many people can clearly see the trend of 'situation' and 'benefit'? There is no need to be too modest, Junchen."
In this way, as the two complimented each other, their relationship seemed to become warmer.
*
After Liang Fuchen and Zhao Junchen returned to the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, seeing that it was already noon, Liang Fuchen invited Zhao Junchen to have dinner with him, and Zhao Junchen naturally agreed happily.
The two of them are the top two people in Shaanxi and Gansu, but their lunch is still very simple, just two meats, two vegetables, one soup and two portions of rice.
Both Liang Fuchen and Zhao Junchen didn't care about this, and just discussed the follow-up plan while eating.
After another quarter of an hour, both of them were full, and Zhao Junchen planned to stand up and leave.
But Huamachi Camp is currently experiencing troubled times. As soon as Zhao Junchen stood up to speak, he saw Zheng Yu, the acting commander-in-chief of Huamachi Camp, hurriedly entered the lobby of the Governor's Mansion and reported: "To the two imperial envoys, Guan Wuyuan
Commander Guan has led the Forbidden Army reinforcements back from Jiezhou City to the Huamachi Camp, and has now arrived ten miles south of the Huamachi Camp. Do you two adults want to come out in person to welcome the Forbidden Army soldiers back to the camp?"
