Zhang Yong was very anxious. He hoped to form an alliance with Yongxiebu's troops earlier so that there would be more capital to compete with the troops of the Dayan troops that followed him. Of course, the result he most wanted to see was not to fight and to lead troops back to the Ming Dynasty.

However, Chen Xi seemed not very concerned about the alliance, but he did not directly reject the envoy sent by Yibula, and even offered very excessive conditions to make Yibula "sentiary letter".

Zhang Yong was taken away by Ma Yongcheng and returned to their tent to discuss matters. As for Chen Xi, it seemed very relaxed.

Tang Yin did not rush to leave, shook his head and said, "Shangshu Chen, what medicine do you sell in the gourd? Now this series of operations is becoming increasingly difficult to understand... In the eyes of ordinary people, you should make good use of the internalization of Tatars. How can you speak loudly like this now?"

Chen Xi spread his hands: "Brother Bohu, why do you have such a view? Are the requests I made realistic? Do you have no doubts about the Tatars? This matter came without any warning. Suddenly, Yongxibu's troops sent someone to surrender to the court, and made me completely believe them. If you had done this, you would have agreed directly? It might not be possible! I can only test their true purpose through my own way!"

Tang Yin said: "It seems that Shangshu Chen had known for a long time who was commanding the pursuers behind us?"

Chen Xi nodded: "It is the second son of Dayan Khan. Now he serves as the Tatars. This official position is roughly the deputy khan or prince. He has great power, just like the prime minister of our Han people."

Tang Yin asked in surprise: "Shangshu Chen wants the Yongxiebu tribe to come forward to kill Dayankhan's second son? How is this possible? Since the second prince knows that the Ming Dynasty and the Yongxiebu tribe have the possibility of cooperation, he will definitely not be fooled...Shangshu Chen did this to push the two Tatar tribes that were originally contradictory to cooperate. I am afraid that we will be attacked from the front and back next step!"

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Then just wait and see what the changes will happen! Actually, I am also very curious about how far the Tatars will develop this time. Perhaps the leader of the Yongsebu tribe Yibula will really follow my advice, and he really has the ability to kill the second prince of the Dayan tribe? Brother Bohu is tired and goes back to rest early. There will be no war tonight. Wait until dawn to see the rising sun rise. This will be a very pleasant thing for you and me."

Tang Yin curled his lips, as if saying, your pursuit is too low.

However, Tang Yin did not continue to cause trouble with Chen Xi. Originally, this matter had little to do with him, and with his current identity, he had no right to interfere with Chen Xi's decision. Even Zhang Yong and Ma Yongcheng, the two military supervisors, finally agreed that Chen Xi would listen to his advice only if he gave him face.

After Tang Yin left, Chen Xi finally could easily pick up the map to write and draw, because many things were different from historical books and maps from later generations. Only after seeing them in person can the map be adjusted.

Just as Shen Xi was concentrating on drawing, Yun Liu lifted the curtain and walked in, stood in front of Shen Xishuai's case, without saying a word, afraid of disturbing Chen Xi's thoughts.

Chen Xi did not look up and asked in a calm tone: "Have you done the escort of Yongxie Bu's envoy?"

Yunliu nodded: "Yes, sir, I sent someone to follow them across the river and try to check the situation on the other side of the river, but these people are likely to be detained by Yongxiebu's troops."

Chen Xi shook his head and smiled, "No, if they choose to be thrilled, it means that the cooperation will fail... This time the choice is in our hands. I can decide whether to form an alliance with the Yongsebu tribe. If they violate the covenant, the consequences for them are very serious, because I don't need to do it, the pressure of the Dayan tribe alone can cause their tribe to fall apart."

Yun Liu looked confused: "How do you know that there are huge problems within the Yongxie Bu Ministry now, and it has reached the end of your life?"

Chen Xi shook his head slightly: "It only takes a brain to think about it. I don't care about how many people are left in Yongxiebu tribe. I only know that their strength cannot be compared with the Dayan tribe. In fact, if the imperial court had not used troops to the grassland, the Yongxiebu tribe would not be able to support this year. For them, there are only two options at present, either form an alliance with us, or withdraw troops to a place further west to avoid the Dayan tribe's edge..."

Yun Liu looked strange and thought for a while before asking, "Then why can't they surrender to Da Yanhan?"

"hehe!"

A smile appeared on Chen Xi's face, "In the eyes of many people, if a tribe on the grassland is weak, he can choose to surrender to those powerful tribes. This is true in many cases, but for the Yongsebu tribe, which was once the decisive force of the grassland, this will only accelerate its demise, because the current situation of the Dayan tribe has been established, and there is absolutely no other uncontrolled tribal force on the grassland. The Yongsebu tribe's surrender to the Dayan tribe, the biggest possibility is to be split. The Dayan Khan will entrust his son to control it, and the original Yongsebu nobles will be thoroughly cleaned."

"Yibula did not want to hand over his destiny to others, so he proclaimed himself as the national teacher and replaced the former Yisima Yin's right-wing households in Mongolia. Originally, Dayan Khan only needed a letter of appointment, so he could roughly allow Yibula to remain calm. However, what Dayan Khan did already shows his attitude towards the Yongsebu tribe. He would rather arrange an unjust person as the national teacher than give Yibula any prestige convenience, because the ultimate goal of the Dayan tribe was to completely eliminate the Yongsebu tribe rather than force them to surrender."

Yun Liufeng's eyes widened, and she obviously could not fully understand what Chen Xi said.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about anything. You just need to know that now either Yibula chooses to assassinate Dayankhan's second son, or chooses to lead the entire tribe to move westward. In addition, there is no third way to go, which is enough!"

Yun Liu nodded heavily.

Chen Xi could not explain too much to Yunliu. In fact, in history, the Yongsebu tribe of the Yongsebu tribe proposed to surrender when Dayan Khan was about to unify the grassland. When Dayan Khan sent his second son Urus Borot to the Yongsebu tribe to serve as the 30,000 Hujinong in the right, he murdered Yibula. Later, Yibula was completely defeated in the decisive battle with Dayan Khan and chose to move westward to Yilibali, Duogandusi and other places, but did not rely on the Dayan tribe.

Judging from all aspects, Yibu La could not surrender to Dayan Khan. Although Chen Xi did not know whether history would repeat the butterfly effect caused by his appearance, he was trying his best to arrange history to develop in the same direction.

Chen Xi thought to himself: "This Urus Borot has no mind as his father at all, but is just a person who is almost a reckless man. If Yibula killed Urus Borot, the Yongsebu tribe and the Dayan tribe could completely get into evil... Even if the Yongsebu tribe no longer has the strength to compete with the Dayan tribe, at least one force that may become an opponent is disintegrating. As for how the Dayan tribe will deal with the Yongsebu tribe in the future, it is not included in my consideration!"

...

...

The river beach was peaceful that night.

The soldiers had a rare peaceful night. The sun rose from the east horizon in the morning, and the world was in a quiet state. Chen Xi, who came out for morning exercise, liked this feeling of peace.

"grown ups."

Jing Yue appeared in front of Shen Xi and saluted respectfully.

At dawn, the generals of the army got up and led the troops to practice. At this time, the officers and soldiers had finished their morning exercises and returned to the account to sort out their internal affairs. Because Chen Xi did not arrange a marching plan, the army was doubtful about the next move.

Smoke curling up in the camp, and the quiet atmosphere was much more enhanced. Chen Xi retracted his gaze from the other side of the river and said to Jing Yue beside him: "Old Jing, have the marching preparations been completed?"

Jing Yue seemed very embarrassed: "Sir, the scout said that the Tartars were stationed in an area of ​​about fifty miles behind us. If we follow this river to the southeast, the nearest distance is less than twenty miles from the Tatar camp, which... is probably not so safe."

Chen Xi smiled and asked, "Why are you afraid of fighting against the Tartars?"

Jing Yue smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that we are afraid of war. No matter how many Tartars there are, we are not afraid of it. But now the Tartars on the other side of the river have not yet been heard back? Maybe they will kill the Tartar leaders who are following us as the adults told me..."

Chen Xi nodded slightly, and did not continue to talk about the troops. He walked silently on the river bank for a while before turning to the side and instructing: "Lao Jing, since you think there is something wrong with the march now, then stop holding the troops for the time being... and ordering the three armies to be prepared to fight at any time."

"Sir, are you going to fight?" Jing Yue was shocked.

Chen Xi patted Jing Yue on the shoulder: "Even you said, we can't sit still and wait for death. Of course, we need to make some arrangements. Even if we don't really start fighting, we will scare the Tatars. What do you think?"

"That's not what the general is..." Jing Yue was a little anxious. He didn't expect that Chen Xi would change his mind after a few words and actually changed the march to staying there to prepare for the war.

Chen Xidao: "Do as I say, don't be nervous, this war cannot be fought. See what's going on before sunset in the afternoon. You may march overnight to make the soldiers mentally prepared."

Jing Yue received Chen Xi's reply and felt a little relieved, but he was still nervous when he went to send the order, so that when Liu Xu, Hu Songyue and others asked him about the situation, he did not dare to answer directly, and only said that this was Chen Xi's arrangement.

After breakfast, the soldiers of the army gathered and entered the defensive positions in batches. Hundreds of artillery pieces in depth were deployed in formation, ready to deal with the Tatars' attack at any time.

Chen Xi personally went to various departments to supervise the battle, and the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted. Wherever Chen Xi went, there was a thunderous joy.

At noon, Chen Xi ordered the officers and soldiers to retreat in batches and return to the camp for lunch and rest.

Zhang Yong found the position and said to Chen Xi: "Mr. Shen, your series of actions are really incomprehensible. What formation are we practicing against the air here? There is no sign of the Tartars coming at all."

Chen Xi asked with a smile: "If we don't make any moves, how could we make the chasing Tatars feel that we want to fight to the death with them here? And then we feel afraid? How can we make them sure that we have not colluded with the Yibula tribe?"

"you……!"

Zhang Yong stared at Chen Xi, just about to scold him.

Chen Xidao: "All this is to allow Yibula to successfully eliminate the generals of the Dayan tribe who led the army behind us. If the Tatars withdraw their troops in the afternoon, Yibula can succeed and we can easily get on the road. If they don't succeed, we will wait here. At worst, according to Eunuch Zhang, you will form an alliance with Yibula, and ask them to send a boat to pave the floating bridge and take us to the other side of the river!"

...

...

Just after noon, a scout came to the central army's tent to report that the Dayan tribe, who were arranged twenty miles east of the camp, had a riot first, and then retreated in a panic.

Zhang Yong, Ma Yongcheng and others were waiting for the news in the Central Army’s tent. When they heard this news, they were somewhat relieved. Ma Yongcheng asked: "Mr. Shen, what is this? Why did the Tartars suddenly withdraw their troops?"

Chen Xi put down the desk in his hand and smiled slightly: "Maybe it was Yongxibu's troops who successfully assassinated the second prince of Dayan's troops?"

Zhang Yong's face showed an unbelievable look, because no more news came for the time being, and the people in the Central Army's tent could only continue to wait.

When he arrived in Shen, the scouts reported that the Tatars retreated thirty miles again, bypassed the camp where they were stationed yesterday, and continued to retreat eastward.

Ma Yongcheng believed Chen Xi's words at this time: "What should have happened to the Tatars!"

Chen Xi nodded: "It's good if something happens. I'm afraid of a pool of stagnant water and no movement. That's terrible. Wait first. It seems that there is no need to hurry up today. The Tatars have retreated. What's the point of our march? Let's hear what the envoys of Yongxiebu tribe said."

Zhang Yong asked curiously: "Mr. Shen is sure he is not going to do anything? What if it is..."

He wanted to say something, but Ma Yongcheng stopped him. After all, there were others in the central army's tent, and questioning the commander in front of the general is a taboo in the army.

Zhang Yong and Ma Yongcheng chose to go back to the tent to rest until sunset, and the Tatars retreated thirty miles east again, eighty miles away from the Ming Dynasty camp.

The Tatars were stationed in place and did not intend to retreat east that day. In this way, Chenxi would not have any obstacles to withdraw troops from the Triangle River Beach area.

It was not until dark that Yibula on the other side finally sent people to cross the river to contact Chenxi. The envoy was still yesterday's Bolai. This time, there were several ships who came at the same time, and some boxes were transported, as if they were tributes. However, Ma Yongcheng, who represented Chenxi, went to greet him very carefully. He asked someone to open all the boxes to check. After confirming that there were no dangerous goods, he took Bo to the Central Army's tent to meet Chenxi.

This time, more people gathered in the central army's tent, and even generals such as Wang Lingzhi who had not attended the meeting the day before came.

As soon as Bo Lailai came, he said excitedly: "Mr. Shen, we have fulfilled our mission and have killed the person you want to kill. This is his head!"

As he said that, Bo Lai asked someone to take out a wooden box. After opening it, he saw a head inside. This thing is very common in the army, and even Tang Yin did not react violently after seeing it.

Ma Yongcheng went up to check and said to Chen Xi: "Mr. Shen, there is a head inside, but I can't be sure who it is."

Bolai was a little annoyed when he heard this: "My father-in-law, what do you mean? I suspect that we have not completed Lord Shen's entrustment? We have successfully killed Batumonk's second son, and even the head is here. If you have any doubts, is that we are not sincere?"

Chen Xi smiled and said, "I just have some doubts, but I believe in you!"

I said I believed it, but Chen Xi still went up to take a closer look, but there was no special thing inside except for a head.

Zhang Yongdao: "Just kill it, then we are allies. When will you send the ships to build a floating bridge?"

For Zhang Yong, he didn't care whether the second prince of the Dayan tribe was really dead. As long as he could form an alliance with Yongsebu tribe, everything would be fine. What he wanted was to cross the river as soon as possible. It was one thing for the Tatars to withdraw troops, and it was another thing for the transfer to a safe place himself.

Bolai seemed very surprised: "When we asked for ships to build a floating bridge? Didn't we agree to attack the troops sent by Batumonk together? The Yibula tribe leader is ready to lead the army to cross the river and join forces with Lord Shen to fight against Dayan's troops. While Batumonk's main force has not arrived, we must cut the mess quickly!"

Chen Xi did not agree, but this time Ma Yongcheng raised a question: "Mr. Shen, you can't be sure that the head in front of you must belong to the Second Prince. After all, it's just a one-sided statement from their Yongxibu tribe. This envoy of Bo Lai, please make clear the words first, how did you kill the Second Prince of Tatar?"

Bolai said: "The leader of the Yibula tribe went to write to Batumonk's second son Urus Borot, saying that he was going to hold a joint meeting to discuss how to send troops to attack the Ming Dynasty. To be on the safe side, the meeting was agreed to be in the center of the Daheihe River, so that neither side suffered any losses."

"Urus Borot was trapped to go to the appointment. We sent a water ghost to sank the other party's ship and shot arrows at the river. Urus Borot could not swim and was captured by our people while struggling on the water. After being caught, he cut off his head directly!"

Because what Bo Lai told was too easy, even Zhang Yong couldn't help frowning after saying that.

Wang Lingzhi asked in surprise: "Is it so easy to kill a Tatar prince?"

Bolai was very angry: "It is clearly a plan we set up, and we will complete the tasks assigned by Lord Shen. If we cannot form an alliance, we will declare war on you! Our dignity of the Bu tribe cannot be desecrated!"

Chen Xi smiled and waved his hand: "I have said it a long time ago. I believe this is the head of Urus Borot, the second prince of Dayan tribe!"

Ma Yongcheng said worriedly: "Master Shen, it's better to be cautious. If the Tatars secretly agreed to use a fake second prince of Tatar to deceive him and turn around and wait for us to fight back when we go to war with Dayan Khan's men, then..."

Zhang Yong said: "Eunuch Ma, don't exaggerate." At this moment, he had no choice but to believe in Yongxiebu's troops. As for Ma Yongcheng, he was well aware of the principle of being deceitful in military deception, and felt that the messenger sent by Yibula was unreliable.

Even the generals under Chen Xi felt that it was not that easy to kill the second prince of Dayan tribe. As a chief general, it was impossible to get rid of the Yibu La design so easily.

Chen Xi waved his hand: "Since you choose to cooperate, there can be no suspicion. This official gave the Yongxibus headquarters a test, which is to allow both sides to establish enough trust and leave no way out. Since the Yongxibus headquarters has completed the task, our cooperation will take effect from now on behalf of our Majesty. I will confer the title of the Yibula tribe as the Mongolian national teacher and lead the Mongolian right wing!"
