Chapter 1029 It is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, who is the loyal minister?
Late at night on August 30th, in the hidden valley of the Kipchak army in the Ulan Grassland, a messenger was brought to the central army camp...
Looking at Asdogan sitting on the main seat, the envoy immediately saluted respectfully.
"Yedeli pays respect to the Khan of the Golden Horde!"
Seeing this, Asdogan didn't waste any words and asked directly:
"How is your master's preparation going?"
The messenger Ye Deli smiled and said:
"The hunt is about to begin. My master has prepared everything. As the Zhou people say, everything is ready except for the east wind!"
Hearing what Yedeli said, Esiduoan nodded slightly and then said:
"Does your master really want to cede the Western Elunqin Steppe to our Golden Horde forever? Do you admit that this is our Golden Horde's territory?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Deli preached calmly:
"Great Khan, my master will never publicly cede the Western Erlengqin Steppe to your tribe. Anyone who does so will be the eternal sinner of the Luobi tribe!"
“My master naturally cannot bear the infamy of bearing eternal shame and being scorned by his people. Therefore, no one can give you the promise you want, Khan…”
As soon as these words came out, Estolian's eyes narrowed, and the Cuman general Hublan beside him immediately stood up, smashed the wine glass in his hand and cursed:
"Yedeli, you bunch of damned Robbie rats, what on earth do you mean? Are you kidding us?"
"If it weren't for your promise, would our Kipchak warriors have gone through so much trouble to come here?"
"You bastard, do you believe that I will chop off your head right now?"
Facing Hublan's scolding, Yetli's face also turned gloomy, but he ignored Hublan and looked at Estolan and said:
"Khan, your action this time is not for us Robe people, but for yourself!"
"You need this victory to help you regain your lost dignity and prestige. What is lost on the battlefield can only be recovered from the battlefield!"
"Besides, my master has always been honest with you, the Khan. We have never promised to recognize that the Western Elunqin Steppe is the territory of the Golden Horde. This is absolutely impossible!"
"What we promised is that as long as my master has control of Luo Bei's power, both sides can cease fire with the actual controlled area as the boundary! We will not invade the area controlled by your department!"
"Both us Luobei people and you Qipchaq people have suffered great losses at the hands of the Fengwu Army. Ye Mingsheng's conspiracy has seriously damaged the vitality of the heroes on the grassland. Both of us need time to recuperate, and now we should unite to face the outside world!"
“I think both of us need at least twenty years of peace to recuperate and recover our strength. As for what happens twenty years later, let future generations deal with it. We must believe in the wisdom of future generations…”
Feeling the sincerity in Ye Deli's words, although Asdogan remained expressionless and calm, he agreed with Ye Deli's words in his heart!
In fact, Aisiduoan knew very well in his heart that no matter who was in power in the Luobi tribe, it was impossible for them to recognize that the Western Elunqin Steppe was the territory of the Golden Horde. Whoever did so would surely suffer from prestige and would be disobeyed by the Luobi people!
Therefore, what Asdogan asked just now was false, and his attempt to test the other party was true. If Yetli had just followed his words and expressed that he would recognize that the Western Elunqin Steppe was the territory of the Golden Horde, then it would mean that the other party had no sincerity in cooperating at all, and was just entrusting him with false information!
If this is the case, then Eskoy would now order the cooking and execution of Yedeli, and then lead his troops back to the Golden Horde and not get involved in this mess!
And now, Yetli's answer satisfied Asdogan. He felt that this guy was very honest and sincere, and did not lie to deceive him!
Under Yedeli's gaze, Esiduoan pondered for a while and said:
"We'll follow the plan!"
After receiving this answer from Asdogan, Yeteli was immediately delighted and said:
"I wish you a great victory, Great Khan! Return with great success!"

・・・・・・・・・・・・・
At the same time that Asdogan was meeting the envoy, Ye Mingsheng, who was sleeping in the tent of the Fengwu Army on the Ulan Grassland, suddenly heard someone calling him.
“Sir, please wake up… Sir, please wake up…”
Ye Mingsheng rubbed his sleepy eyes and saw Ye Kui beside him calling him. He sat up from the bed and asked:
"What happened?"
Facing Ye Mingsheng's question, Ye Kui spoke without hesitation:
"Sir, Jamukha is here!"
"Who?"
"Zhamuhe! He brought nearly a hundred cavalrymen to the military camp and said he had important military information to report to you, Marshal!"
Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but show surprise when these words came out. According to the previous communication between the two sides, Jamukha, as the Great Khan of Luobi, will lead 3,000 cavalry to the Ulan Grassland to participate in the alliance on August 31, which is tomorrow!
But what does it mean that this kid Jamukha suddenly came here tonight?
What would be his important military intelligence?
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but think of the news of the unusual movement of the Cuman army reported by the Coordination Office, and couldn't help but ask:
"Did Jamukha say what his important military intelligence was?"
Ye Kui shook his head and said:
"Zhamuhe only told me the important military information, but he didn't tell me a word of the specific content. He said he must tell you personally, Marshal!"
Upon hearing the news, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but show some doubts on his face. After careful consideration, Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly. Seeing this, Ye Kui bowed and retreated.
After a while, a typical grassland man came to Ye Mingsheng's tent under the guidance of Ye Kui. This man was none other than Jamukha, the current Luobi Khan...
Ye Mingsheng had already prepared to meet Jamukha, but what Ye Mingsheng did not expect was that as soon as Jamukha came in front of Ye Mingsheng, he knelt down and said to Ye Mingsheng:
"I am Jamukha, paying my respects to Marshal Ye! Congratulations on your promotion to Duke of Feng!" Looking at Jamukha, who looked humble and submissive, Ye Mingsheng found it hard to imagine that this was the man who was dissatisfied with his interference in Robe's affairs and wanted to use comprehensive trade in exchange for Jamukha no longer supporting Nurjiang and Ibugel!
Seeing Jamukha being so humble, Ye Mingsheng didn't want to make things difficult for him. After a little hesitation, he instructed Jamukha:
"Get up!"
"Thank you, Marshal!"
Jamukha stood up, bowed his body and still behaved very humbly, as if he was not the Great Khan Luobi at all, but just a general of Ye Mingsheng.
Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng also said casually:
"See your seat!"
Jamukha quickly refused:
"There is no reason for Jamukha to sit in front of the Marshal. I will just stand. I can listen to the Marshal's teachings better when I stand!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Mingsheng glanced at Jamukha and said with a smile:
"Zhamukha, you are already the Great Khan of Luobei, there is no need to be so humble!"
Jamukha replied with a serious face:
“Marshal, although Jamukha is a barbarian on the grassland, he also understands the principle of repaying kindness. If it were not for your great help, there would be no Jamukha today. Everything that Jamukha has today is given by you, Marshal Ye…”
"In front of my people, I am the Great Khan Luobei, but in front of you, Marshal Ye, Jamukha is just a general under your command! I am willing to serve you at my utmost!"
After hearing what Jamukha said, Ye Mingsheng not only did not feel any happiness, but for some reason he felt a chill on his back!
After taking a deep look at Jamukha, Ye Mingsheng did not continue to argue with him on this issue, but asked calmly:
"Zhamuhe, I heard that you have important military information to report to me?"
Seeing that Ye Mingsheng finally asked this question, Jamukha whispered mysteriously:
"Marshal, the spy I planted next to Nurjiang just reported to me that Nurjiang is colluding with the Golden Horde. Aisiduoan is personally leading nearly 20,000 tiger divisions and hiding in the valley north of the Ulan Grassland, just waiting for the alliance to start tomorrow. Nurjiang will attack together with the Golden Horde!"
Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but feel a little surprised when these words came out. Although Ye Mingsheng had already received the news that Esidoan was leading the Tiger Division to make unusual movements, and Ye Mingsheng also judged that Esidoan would have a collaborator!
Although the Coordination Office could not determine who the collaborator was, to be honest, Ye Mingsheng believed in his heart that the collaborator was Jamukha!
Ye Mingsheng was also prepared to catch both Jamukha and Asdogan in one fell swoop, so when Jamukha took the initiative to report Asdogan’s conspiracy to him and accused Asdogan’s collaborator of Nurjiang, Ye Mingsheng was really surprised. He had fully expected this situation to occur...
As if he realized what Ye Mingsheng was thinking, Jamukha took out a few letters from his arms and handed them to Ye Mingsheng with both hands, saying:
"Marshal, these are the letters between Aisiduoan and Nurjiang. They have been plotting this conspiracy since you proposed the alliance, intending to harm you!"
Ye Mingsheng took the letter and examined it carefully. He saw that it was exactly as Jamukha had said. Aisidogan and Nurjiang were conspiring. Both sides would send troops together to attack the alliance and had agreed on many details, such as the division of the spoils after victory.
When Ye Mingsheng saw the letter, although he did not react on the surface, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart!
Nurjiang had always said that he would come to Jinyang to meet me in advance, but he never came in the end. And now there is the ironclad evidence of these letters!
Could it be that I was really wrong, and the one who was colluding with Esidogan was not Jamukha, but Nurjiang?
Just when Ye Mingsheng was hesitant, Jamukha took out another letter and handed it to Ye Mingsheng with both hands, then said to Ye Mingsheng in a very aggrieved tone:
“Your Excellency, I would like to report to you Gao Shen. As a senior commissioner of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, he should have conveyed your peaceful ideas to the various tribes on the grassland, so that everyone can listen to your teachings and feel your broad mind and kindness…”
"But this man accepted tens of thousands of taels of silver and various cultural relics and treasures from Nurjiang, as well as more than a dozen beauties, and colluded with Nurjiang to commit evil, misinterpreting your orders, and trying to reignite the war among our Luobi tribes!"
"Marshal! Gao Shen is a man who deserves to be killed!" At the end, Jamukha's eyes filled with tears and he knelt down in front of Ye Mingsheng again.
This time, Ye Mingsheng did not ask Jamukha to get up immediately, but picked up Jamukha's letter and looked at it. This was a letter written by Nurjiang to Gao Shen.
In the letter, Nurjiang expressed his gratitude to Gao Shen for his help all the time. He has already funded Gao Shen to buy a large house in Yijing so that Gao Shen can live in a beautiful house and enjoy the happiness of having many wives!
At the end of the letter, Nurjiang stated that as long as Gao Shen could convince Ye Mingsheng to support him in becoming the Great Khan of Luobi, he would be willing to give Gao Shen 100,000 taels of silver!
Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng looked at Nurjiang deeply and said:
"The spy you planted next to Nurjiang is very powerful. He was able to get so many confidential letters..."
Hearing Ye Mingsheng's words, Jamukha spoke very frankly:
"Marshal, Nurjiang's concubine Wujina is mine. These letters were brought to me by her. In order to get these letters, Wujina's identity was exposed. She finally escaped from Nurjiang's clutches!"
"But in order to prevent these confidential letters from leaking out, Nurjiang sent many people to hunt down Wujina. Fortunately, my people were able to pick her up and prevent her from falling into Nurjiang's hands. At the same time, Nurjiang's conspiracy was also exposed!"
"It is precisely because he knows that his conspiracy has been exposed that Nurjiang dares not come to see you, Marshal!"
"In addition to these, Nurjiang got the portrait of your wife from somewhere. After seeing her, he was shocked by her beauty and started to speak obscene words to her every day!"
Ye Mingsheng narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this. Seeing this, Jamukha was immediately delighted, knowing that his words had finally worked. He then stopped talking and expressed his loyalty:
"General, in order to expose Nurjiang's conspiracy as soon as possible, I am only leading a hundred light cavalrymen here, but I still have three thousand men behind me. Although the number is small, they are all our Luobi warriors who are picked from a hundred!"
“They, like me, are full of respect for you, Marshal Ye. As long as you give the order, I, Jamukha, am willing to lead them and become the sword in your hand and rush to the front…”
(Who do you think is a loyal minister? Also, do you like to watch the plot of Dongdao? Or do you like to watch the internal power struggle?)
