Chapter 1020 Alliance!
Erlunqin Grassland, the Court of the King of Luobi
Gao Shen, the senior commissioner of the Fengwu Army Foreign Affairs Bureau who was in charge of grassland affairs, finally came before the Robe Khan Jamukha after a series of strict searches...
So he was very dissatisfied with the rude behavior of these Luobi barbarians just now, but when he saw Jamukha, Gao Shen adjusted his mood again, patted his chest and bowed, saying:
"The Fengwu Army envoy greets Great Khan Jamukha!"
Seeing this, Jamukha nodded slightly, then said in a deep voice:
"I heard that your Marshal Ye established a little emperor and named himself the Duke of Feng?"
As soon as Gao Shen said this, he frowned slightly and said:
"Great Khan Jamukha, you are wrong. His Majesty the Emperor was elected by all the officials in the court, not by our Marshal Ye!"
"As for our Marshal Ye's title of Duke of Feng, it is not a self-proclaimed title. It was conferred by His Majesty the Emperor in gratitude to our Marshal for sweeping away the traitors, restoring the government, repelling the foreign enemies and conquering the homeland!"
As soon as Gao Shen finished speaking, Zhamuhe burst into laughter, his laughter was full of disdain and ridicule, which made Gao Shen a little annoyed and said:
"Great Khan Jamukha, I don't know what's so funny about this. Are you insulting our Marshal Ye?"
Facing Gao Shen’s question, although Jamukha really wanted to give an affirmative answer, and then drag Gao Shen, this two-legged pig, out and chop him into pieces to feed the dogs····························
But when he thought of the powerful Fengwu Army behind Gao Shen, Jamukha restrained his impulse and snorted coldly:
"If you ask me, Marshal Ye of your department, why do you need to do all this nonsense? Who doesn't know what this is all about?"
"You Zhou people just like to create a little emperor as a puppet. Shangguan Hongyuan likes to do this, and your Marshal Ye also likes to do this. Everyone knows that they all want to be the emperor. Why can't they be more open and aboveboard?"
"We grassland people don't have this problem. As long as our fists are big enough and we can fight well, we can become the Great Khan!"
While speaking, Jamukha clenched his fists in front of Gao Shen, as if he was showing off his martial arts skills. However, Gao Shen was not intimidated by him. He only felt that Jamukha was becoming more and more like an uncivilized barbarian, who had no idea of the importance of etiquette!
At this time, Gao Shen was too lazy to reason with Jamukha. He took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Jamukha, saying in a deep voice:
"This is a letter from our Marshal Ye to Great Khan Jamukha, inviting the Khan to come to Pingshanquan on the Ulan Grassland for a meeting on August 31st, half a month from now!"
After these words were spoken, Jamukha, who was in a wild state a second ago, immediately became cautious. He took the letter from Gao Shen and examined it carefully.
Jamukha originally wanted to find some clues from Ye Mingsheng about the purpose of the alliance in the letter, but unfortunately Ye Mingsheng only said some slogan-like content in this letter. The only substantive information was the time and address of the alliance mentioned by Gao Shen just now·························
After pondering for a while, Jamukha asked Gao Shen in a deep voice:
"What does Marshal Ye think of my previous proposal?"
Although it was with the support of the Fengwu Army that Jamukha was able to kill Eshidogan and ascend the throne of Robe Khan, as he became the Khan, the honeymoon between him and the Fengwu Army came to an end. The two sides had great differences in their ideas on some issues, which deepened the conflict between them!
What Jamukha could not tolerate the most was Ye Mingsheng's interference in Robi's affairs and his support for Nurjiang and Ibugel in opposing his rule in Robi!
This even made Jamukha feel that he, the Great Khan Luobi, was just a puppet of Ye Mingsheng, and Ye Mingsheng was the real Great Khan Luobi. This made Jamukha feel extremely humiliated and angry. He was determined to change this situation and become a real Great Khan Luobi!
Although he had such an idea, given the powerful strength of the Fengwu Army, Jamukha still hoped to solve this problem in a peaceful way!
For this purpose, he proposed an idea to Ye Mingsheng, that is, Luo Bi should completely open up the trade with the Fengwu Army in exchange for Ye Mingsheng's stopping his support for Nurjiang Ibugel!
Although the combined forces of Nurjiang and Ibugel were larger than their own, Jamukha was confident in his own strength. He believed that as long as Ye Mingsheng did not help, he would be able to kill Nurjiang and Ibugel and unify the Luobi tribes...
These days, Jamukha was actively preparing for war, recruiting soldiers and preparing for the war with Nurjan Ibugel's troops. On the other hand, he was anxiously waiting for Ye Mingsheng's reply.
Under Jamukha's gaze, Gao Shen answered seriously:
"Great Khan Jamukha, my Marshal Ye has always been compassionate. He cannot bear to see another war on the grassland with corpses everywhere and blood flowing like a river. So this time, my Marshal Ye is meeting to solve the problem for you, Luobi!"
Seeing Gao Shen's compassionate look when he said this, Jamukha was really disgusted. If Gao Shen was not the envoy of Fengwu Army and represented the face of Fengwu Army, insulting him would be equivalent to insulting Fengwu Army!
Zhamuhe really wanted to slap Gao Shen a few times to let this pig-legged man know whether what he said was human language.
Ye Mingsheng is compassionate?
How many battles have the Fengwu Army fought and how many people have been killed since its rise? The hands of this bastard Ye Mingsheng are already stained with blood that can never be washed away!
If killing is a sin, then Ye Mingsheng would have already committed countless crimes, making them unforgivable?
This is the kind of person you tell me he is always compassionate?
Jamukha felt that this was the biggest joke he had ever heard in his life, as well as the most disgusting and hypocritical words!
If Ye Mingsheng was really so compassionate, why did he lead the Fengwu Army to rise up and fight for territory and people?
Although he thought so in his heart, he was not strong enough to express his true thoughts so bluntly. He could only swallow his words and then coldly said to Gao Shen:
"Commissioner Gao, did Marshal Ye reject my proposal?"
Facing Jamukha's cold gaze, Gao Shen said calmly: "Great Khan Jamukha, if I knew the answer you want, I would definitely tell you, but unfortunately I don't know what our Marshal thinks. I'm afraid you need to ask our Marshal in person when you attend the meeting!"
After hearing Gao Shen's answer, Zhamuhe was obviously not satisfied and continued to ask in a deep voice:
"What if I don't go to this meeting?"
Gao Shen heard this and continued to preach calmly:
"It is your freedom to go or not, Great Khan, but I personally suggest that you go. I believe it will be beneficial to you, Great Khan, and to the entire Luobei!"
"All the tribesmen and herdsmen of Luobi are longing for peace! I hope you, Khan, will consider Luobi's future!"
Hearing Gao Shen talking about peace when he opened his mouth and closed his mouth about peace, Jamukha was really disgusted. He couldn't help but asked Gao Shen sarcastically:
“Commissioner Gao, if your Marshal Ye likes peace so much, why did he lead the Fengwu Army to fight? Wouldn’t it be most peaceful to stay at home? Why do you have to fight for territory with the Luoan court?”
Facing Jamukha's questioning, Gao Shen said coldly and bluntly:
"Our Marshal Ye raised an army to suppress the rebellion in compliance with the Emperor's order. He followed the will of Heaven and the will of the people. How can Jamukha be compared to him?"
After saying this, Gao Shen didn't want to continue arguing with Jamukha, so he continued:
"Great Khan, I have delivered the order from my commander-in-chief. Please decide as soon as possible whether to go or not. I will not waste your precious time. Gao Shen will take his leave now!"
After saying that, Gao Shen bowed to Jamukha, then turned around and left without waiting for Jamukha's agreement!
Seeing Gao Shen being so arrogant and looking down on him as if he was nothing, Jamukha was so angry that his teeth were itching. He wanted to just give an order to chop Gao Shen into pieces and feed him to the dogs. However, when he thought of the consequences that would cause, Jamukha had to force himself to be patient!
After Gao Shen left, Zhamuhe read the letter from Ye Mingsheng carefully several times, and his expression changed rapidly!
After a cup of tea, Zhamuhe made up his mind. He slammed his fist on the desk with a look of determination in his eyes!
Although he knew that a lack of patience would ruin great plans, Jamukha knew that he could no longer endure it and he had to put an end to Ye Mingsheng!
Thinking of the ruthlessness in this, Jamuka found a pen and paper and began to write furiously...

Yijing, Ye Mansion Loyalty Hall
Cui Shao, Gu Sansi, Zhao Han and other important military and political figures of the Fengwu Army all took their seats in turn. However, compared with the past, there was a new face in the Loyalty and Bravery Hall this time. This person was Murong Hui, the Youyan Censor, who was attending the Loyalty and Bravery Hall meeting for the first time.
Although Murong Hui, the Youyan Censor, was also a third-rank official, he was already considered a high-ranking official in the official system of the Great Zhou.
However, the Zhongyongtang Meeting was the highest military and political meeting of the Fengwu Army. Those who could attend this meeting were basically the absolute top leaders of some aspect of the Fengwu Army. Therefore, in the past Murong Hui was not qualified to attend the Zhongyongtang Meeting!
However, at today's meeting, Cui Shao, Gu Sansi, and Zhao Han all agreed to allow Murong Hui to attend today's Zhongyong Hall meeting, so Murong Hui was allowed to attend this important meeting as an exception.
As early as when the first meeting of the Loyalty and Bravery Hall was held, Murong Hui secretly made up his mind that he would also appear in this meeting in the future, representing the Murong family to the top of the power pyramid of the Fengwu Army and deciding the direction of major events in the world!
However, when attending the Zhongyong Hall meeting in this form today, Murong Hui felt mixed emotions, and he didn’t know what to feel in his heart...
At the beginning of the meeting, Zhao Han, the Chief of General Staff, took the lead in introducing the situation in the south to everyone. Zhao Han, smiling, began to speak:
"Currently on the Jingchu battlefield, Xu Zhaojie's tens of thousands of troops have been forced back to Tanzhou by General Ma Zhongjun's First Division. The enemy's offensive in Jingchu has been very effectively contained!"
"The situation between the enemy and us has changed from the enemy attacking and us defending to a strategic stalemate. Our army is gradually seizing the strategic initiative!"
"And on the Anqing battlefield, the enemy's conspiracy has been uncovered. Commander-in-Chief He Jingyun rushed to Anqing as soon as possible and began to lead his troops to organize a counterattack. The situation is currently stable, and I expect good news to be reported back soon!"
After hearing Zhao Han's joyous report, everyone at the meeting also smiled. They were all beneficiaries of the rise of the Fengwu Army, so there was no doubt that they hoped that the Fengwu Army would be invincible on the battlefield and always win the war.
The news of the Fengwu Army's defeat in the Jingchu battlefield came one after another some time ago, which made everyone worried. They were afraid that the Fengwu Army would collapse in the southern battlefield!
The current news proves that everyone’s worries are unnecessary, the Fengwu Army is still the strongest··························
After Zhao Han finished his military report, Cui Shao also announced to everyone that the Great Zhou would move its capital to Yijing, and Ye Mingsheng would soon return to Yijing with Emperor Jiang Cong!
Everyone basically already knew the news, but now that Cui Shao said it, everyone was extremely happy!
They all knew very well the purpose of Ye Mingsheng's doing this, and they also knew that they were one step closer to Ye Mingsheng establishing a new dynasty. When they thought about the rewards and punishments in the near future, everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation.
After telling the good news, Cui Shao and Gu Sansi exchanged glances, and then Gu Sansi stood up and said:
"I believe everyone has heard the recent rumors about the Madam, so this time we have invited Murong Anchashi to come over and let him say a few words to everyone!"
After saying this, Gu Sansi looked at Murong Hui who was sitting at the end of the meeting. As Gu Sansi spoke, everyone turned their eyes to Murong Hui, the Censor of Youyan!
Under Xu Zhaojie's deliberate arrangement, the news that An Miaoyi sent people to assist the Thousand Tiger Guards in assassinating Murong Zhengshan quickly spread across the country in the past few days.
Although the Fengwu Army quickly took control measures, as the saying goes, good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels far and wide. People are always very interested in such rumors involving high-ranking officials, so there are still many rumors in the market·························
