Chapter 111 The woman on the mission
Yi Sima was very self-controlled. Although he admired the woman in front of him, he knew that he had shouldered a heavy responsibility and understood that now the war was at critical moment, he could not tolerate random thoughts at all.
At the same time, Yi Simayin knew very well that this woman did not really like him, but just covet his power and status, hoping to get his support.
Men have always been the master of the grassland.
The woman in front of her took risks for the inheritance of her offspring and wanted to use beauty to achieve her goal. Unfortunately, she did not get his response and immediately thought of going to the Ming camp to exchange for the hot silk to gain political capital.
Yi Sima Yin said: "Zhao Envoy must not be reckless, the Ming army camp cannot be left!"
The woman was slightly surprised: "Oh? National Master, can you explain why? Huo Yano is a flag in our army. I will rescue her. What's wrong?"
Yi Sima squeezed into a pile of wrinkles on an old face: "Huo Ling was defeated and captured. She was defeated and defeated in the battle and became a prisoner. She herself knew what fate would be and would not live in vain. Besides, the generals of the Ming army also knew how extraordinary Huo Ling was. Even if Zhao Eng went to the Ming army camp in person, she would definitely not return Huo Ling. Instead, it would make Zhao Eng trapped in the enemy camp, which was really undesirable!"
The woman smiled and said, "It turns out that the national teacher will feel sorry for others, it's really rare!" While speaking, she also gave Yi Sima Yin a charming look, showing her gentleness and charm to the extreme.
This charming look is rare in the grassland women. Most of the men on the grassland are vulgar and arrogant, and they don’t understand the charm of this woman at all. But I also missed Ma because I read poetry and books and yearn for Central Plains culture, so I was irresistible to resist such a beautiful expression.
The woman continued: "I wonder if the national teacher has ever thought that Huo Yana's famous general in the army had made achievements for the Khanate. But I, a weak woman, not only can't help the national teacher, but it will make the national teacher restricted her hands and affect her performance."
"I went to the Ming army camp and bribed the other party's commanding generals with heavy gifts. It would be better if I could replace the fire silk. Even if I couldn't, I was trapped in the enemy camp. Not only would I not suffer any losses for my Tatar tribe, but it would stimulate the soldiers of the three armies and make my grassland powerhouses invincible and invincible!"
After a while, Yi Sima couldn't answer.
Yi Simayin thought to herself: "She has ambition and wants to win status for her offspring. Although such a woman should not support her, her courage is admirable. She is not a grassland man, she is charming and passionate, but her temperament is more brave and resolute than grassland women!"
When the woman saw Yi Sima remained silent, she asked, "Does the national teacher agree?"
Although Yi Simayin admired the courage of the woman in front of him, he shook his head and said, "If it were another Ming general, Zhao's army might have been effective, but now... Zhao's army will not have any effect, but instead may be used by others!"
The woman was quite curious and asked, "Who is the person who led the Ming army?"
Yi Sima hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Shen Xi!"
"Oh, I understand. This person is the top scholar of the Ming Dynasty. When my Tatar army headed south three years ago, he was defeated by Shen Xi. He is indeed the great enemy of my Tatars."
The woman nodded knowingly: "However, even though he has great supernatural powers as rumored as the national teacher, I still don't think he has any threat..."
"I am just a woman. The so-called war between the two countries, and the envoys will not beheaded. I was ordered to go on an envoy and give them generous gifts to exchange Huoling. He accepted that Huoling could be repaid and I would get a reward. If I did not release me and put me under house arrest, it would also make the Ming people suspicious. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty might lose trust in him. What does the national teacher think?"
Yi Sima thought about it for a little and agreed deeply.
This woman has a clear idea. If the Tatars sent ordinary envoys to go there, Chenxi would not have any impact on Chenxi regardless of whether the fire silk was restored. But if the person who went there was the princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the situation would be very different. Yi Sima knew that this woman was very good at charming men. As long as the Ming army felt that the Tatars sent the princess to go there, the Ming court would inevitably be suspicious of Chenxi.
The woman continued to bewitch: "The reinforcements sent by the Ming Dynasty were Chenxi, which made my Tatar troops return three years ago. Now, it can make a brave and resourceful general like Huo Ling fail to sink into the sand. Chenxi's threat is indeed very great. I went to the Ming army camp, which is beneficial to the battle situation. Why don't the national teacher allow it?"
The woman was determined to go to the Ming army camp, but Yi Sima was completely unpredictable.
Logically speaking, Dayan Khan's concubines should be honest and honest with the army and might use their beauty to seduce him, but they would never make the decision to serve as envoys to go deep into the enemy camp.
Just as the woman said, she went to the Ming army camp. Whether it was to divide and distract Chen Xi and the Ming court or spy on the Ming army's intelligence, it was beneficial to the Tatars. Even if it was a little bad, the woman might be detained by Chen Xi or even died. However, because Yi Sima believed that Chen Xi was a human being, she would never kill a woman on a mission when the two countries were fighting.
As Yi Simain's military supervisor, the woman had a constraint on his military deployment and actions. It was a good thing for Yi Simain to send this hot potato to the Chenxi army. In this way, he could let go without asking for the consent of the "Zhao Envoy" everywhere.
As an excellent politician, no matter how he thought about it, Yi Simain felt that he should send this woman to Tumu Fort to give Chen Xi a headache. But in private, Yi Simain was reluctant to send such a brave, resourceful and charming woman into the mouth of the tiger. He even thought about taking this woman for himself.
When the woman saw Yi Sima not speaking, she had a pretty face and then put on a proud posture:
"National Master, you are just a minister of the Khan. Now, just treat me as a Zhao envoy and make a request to you. Whether you agree or not, please accept it. Give me gold, silver and jewelry. I will go to the Ming army camp in person and will never lose the face of the grassland Wang Ting. If the national master does not believe it, he can send someone to supervise it!"
Yi Sima raised her head and looked at the woman's charming face. After a long time, she finally made a difficult decision and said, "Since Zhao envoy insisted on going to the Ming army camp, in order to explain to the Khan, please leave a token."
"Enter Zhao is here to take care of you. If you really can't exchange the fire silk for gold, silver and treasures, you can return it safely. I hope one day I will join Zhao's envoy to Juyongguan, break through the capital of the Ming Dynasty, drink horses from the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and lay the foundation for the great achievements of the great khan for thousands of years!"
The woman's smile bloomed on her pretty face again, and for a moment it seemed like flowers blooming: "What the national teacher said is just what I want. I hope that when I return, I will have the opportunity to drink happily with the national teacher... Although my alcohol tolerance is not high, it is my honor to be able to drink with the great heroes and heroes on the grassland!"
Yi Simayin explained some details of the mission, and then came out of the king's tent. When he breathed the air outside, he still felt a lot of unwillingness in his heart. In Yi Simayin's view, relying on women to achieve goals is a manifestation of incompetence, but Yi Simayin also understood that it is the right thing to do to achieve goals.
It is a good thing for the Tatars to allow this woman to go to the Ming army camp to explore the reality and even make the Ming court suspicious of Chen Xi.
Yi Simayin even felt that even if he sent ten thousand horses to him, he might not be able to get more rewards when he sent this woman to bring a few entourages.
"National Master, do you still want to ask about the war in Tumu Fort? What should those deserters deal with..." Just as Yi Sima was frowning and thinking, the Baihu, who had been responsible for torturing the defeated soldiers, came forward again to ask for instructions.
Yi Simayin nodded: "You will tell me the detailed process of that battle one by one!"
"Yes, the national teacher!"
Baihu learned from the deserter that the entire process of Chen Xi defeating Huo Ling involves many tactics that Lian Yisima Yin had never heard of.
When Yi Simayin heard Chen Xi's incredible actions, the shock in his heart was indescribable. From the situation we can see that the number of infantry soldiers in the Ming army was only five or six thousand, but it was able to successfully wipe out the entire army of four thousand cavalry of Huo Ling. It was still in the open area outside the city, which made Yi Simayin feel a little more awe of Chen Xi.
After listening to the Baihu report, Yi Sima fell into a long silence. He was summarizing the reasons for Chen Xi's victory in this battle.
"It can be unexpected and have a good judgment on the situation of the battle. It guesses Huo Ling's main attack direction, hides the cannons in the team, uses Huo Ling's blind confidence to attack people. New muskets and artillery play a huge role, and does not stick to the framework of infantry and cavalry fighting, cleverly borrows livestock to bind gunpowder to attack our cavalry..."
The more Yi Sima Yin thought about it, the more he felt that the appearance of Chenxi might have a decisive impact on the situation in the Northwest War.
"Fortunately, he has few people, which shows that the emperors and court officials of the Ming Dynasty still like to rank according to seniority. Even if Chen Xi makes great contributions, he will only allocate a small number of people, not even a large number of cavalry, which makes Chen Xi lose the ability to take the initiative."
"Now, the envoy Zhao took his men to Tumu Fort, in name, as an envoy, but in fact, he investigated the situation in the Chenxi army, disrupted the morale of the Ming people, and could implement counter-espionage strategies. Well, this is indeed the best strategy!" (To be continued.)
