Chapter 883 Zhongyong Hall Meeting!
In the letter, Aisiduoan also warned Ye Mingsheng that if the Fengwu Army entered the Kipchak region, the consequences would be at their own risk.

This brings up a problem. Although the Luoan court thought that it had withdrawn its troops and acquiesced to the Golden Horde's occupation of some territories on the Yongliang border that originally belonged to the Great Zhou, most of the Yongliang area is still under the actual control of the Luoan court!
So in this situation, what kind of reaction would the Fengwu Army's entry into Yongliang bring about from the Golden Horde?

Or did the Luoan court and the Golden Horde reach some kind of secret agreement like before?

Even further, the Golden Horde was preparing to intervene in the civil war in the Great Zhou Dynasty and help the Luoan court fight against the Fengwu Army?

To be honest, with the current comprehensive strength of the Fengwu Army, Ye Mingsheng would not have any fear no matter which of the Golden Horde or the Luoan Court was taken out alone.

But if the Golden Horde really wants to ally with the Luoan court, then Ye Mingsheng feels that he must consider it carefully!

And the most important point is that the series of Yunbing combat plans formulated by the Fengwu Army's General Staff did not take the factor of the Golden Horde into consideration.

However, if the Qincha Khanate is really likely to intervene in the Great Zhou civil war, then the Fengwu Army’s combat plan and deployment will need to be re-evaluated and prepared...
After thinking for a while, Ye Mingsheng called Ye Cheng in and instructed:

"Call Cui Shao, Gu Sansi, Zhao Han, and Guo Zhiping to the Loyalty and Bravery Hall. I will hold an emergency meeting there in half an hour!"

"Yes!"

Under Ye Mingsheng's order, the several Fengwu Army officials who were named also arrived at Zhongyong Hall on time. At the meeting, Ye Mingsheng asked Su Yi to introduce the contents of the letter again, and then gave everyone about a cup of tea to think about it, and then he said:
"If you have any ideas, please feel free to speak up!"

After hearing Ye Mingsheng's words, Guo Zhiping immediately wanted to say something, but seeing that no one else was willing to speak, he swallowed his words back. During the time he served as the chief of staff and deputy chief of staff in Yi Jing, his temper had been smoothed down a lot.

Glancing around from the corner of his eyes, and seeing that no one else was ready to speak first, Gu Sansi took the lead and said:

"Sir, although this letter from Esiduoan is full of arrogance and contempt, making him look extremely arrogant, Esiduoan has always been known for his resourcefulness and ambition on the grassland.
“So from my point of view, Esidogan knew very well that Your Excellency would not agree to these three points. Therefore, he raised these three points in his personal letter, not wanting Your Excellency to agree to them, but to use these three points to test Your Excellency’s attitude towards the Golden Horde…”

Before Gu Sansi's words fell, the expressions of almost everyone in Zhongyong Hall changed. A gleam of light appeared in Ye Mingsheng's eyes, Zhao Han and Su Yi seemed to be thinking about something, Guo Zhiping seemed a little surprised, and only Cui Shao remained calm.

It must be said that Gu Sansi's idea opened up new ideas for Ye Mingsheng. The condescending tone of Aisiduoan in the letter and the hidden threats made Ye Mingsheng a little angry. Especially the last sentence that if Ye Mingsheng agreed to these three points, he would gain the friendship of the Golden Horde and there would be no war between the two countries.

In Ye Mingsheng's eyes, these words were an undisguised and naked threat from Esidogan. Esidogan was telling him, if you don't agree to my conditions, I'm going to fuck you!
While Ye Mingsheng was angry about this, he was also curious about where Esidogan got so much confidence that he dared to threaten him so arrogantly?
You know, although the Golden Horde won a great victory in the battle with the Robes a few months ago and completely occupied the western part of the Elunqin steppe, they also lost a lot of troops under the tenacious resistance of the Robes.

Moreover, the Robes were not completely defeated by the Golden Horde. They still retained an armed force of tens of thousands and occupied the eastern part of the Elunqin steppe. They had a blood feud with the Golden Horde and vowed to fight the Golden Horde to the end...
As the youngest son of Khodu and the second Khan of the Golden Horde, Ye Mingsheng had heard a lot of rumors about Asdogan. In these rumors, Asdogan's image was both courageous and wise. As the saying goes, a man of great reputation does not need a scholar. Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised that he would write himself such a handwritten letter full of arrogance and contempt.

, but if Gu Sansi interprets it this way, this handwritten letter from Asdogan seems to be explainable!
While Ye Mingsheng was thinking, Gu Sansi continued to express his opinions.

"I think that the Golden Horde must have had some private contacts with the Luoan court, and there may even be some negotiations. But I think at this time, the two sides have definitely not reached an agreement to jointly deal with our army. There is still a long way to go before reaching an agreement!"

"In the nearly twenty years since Shangguan Hongyuan came to power, the Great Zhou and the Golden Horde have been in an absolute confrontation, with several battles between the two sides resulting in hundreds of thousands of casualties!"

"Hundreds of thousands of casualties have left countless irreconcilable contradictions between the two sides. Many political forces on both sides were founded on war. These people cannot accept peace between the two sides, either emotionally or in terms of interests!"

“Even with Shangguan Hongyuan’s prestige at the time, in order to withdraw troops from Yongliang, he still had to make certain compromises with the Golden Horde through a secret agreement…”

"Now that Shangguan Changgong wants to ask the Golden Horde to deal with our army, what can he use to satisfy the Golden Horde's greedy appetite?"

"Even if Shangguan Changgong dares to risk the world's disapproval and is willing to cede Yongliang and ask the Cumans to fight against our army together, will the imperial guards under his command agree?"

"I'm afraid that by that time, before the Cumans come to attack our army, Shangguan Changgong will be driven off the stage by the angry imperial guards!"

“And for nomadic people like the Golden Horde, although they covet Yongliang, the fertile grasslands of Elunqin are more attractive to them. I think in the strategic priority of the Golden Horde, the Elunqin grassland is definitely higher than Yongliang…”

(Today I worked overtime until 8 o'clock and all the buses were gone. After I got home and had a meal, I started writing, but I can only barely write these. I will take some time to rest in a few days and write more to make up for it. PS: Can you guess what Esiduoan's purpose is?)
