Chapter 906: Hypocritical Zhou people!

Chapter 906: Hypocritical Zhou people!
Esidogan, who had temporarily let him go under Sun Changxu's flattery, waved his hand, and the guards beside him brought the two letters to Sun Changxu······························

"Sun Changxu, I have two letters here, please take a good look at them!"

Listening to Esidogan's words, Sun Changxu picked up the two letters and began to read them with some confusion.

The first letter came from Shangguan Changgong. Shangguan Changgong explained the pros and cons to Esiduoan. He told Esiduoan that Ye Mingsheng was an ambitious man. Although Ye Mingsheng’s current primary goal was to defeat the Luoan court and unify the entire Great Zhou, with Ye Mingsheng’s ambition he would not be satisfied with just this goal.

Shangguan Changgong believed that after Ye Mingsheng unified the Great Zhou, he would plot to rule the entire grassland and declare war on the Golden Horde!

Therefore, Shangguan Changgong hopes that Asdogan can be far-sighted enough to take precautions before the disaster occurs and send troops to help the Luoan court fight against the Fengwu Army!
At the end of the letter, although Shangguan Changgong may not directly say that he is willing to cede Yongliang for the sake of his own image, he also hinted that as long as Asdogan sends troops, everything can be negotiated!
Sun Changxu felt deeply saddened and regretful about Shangguan Changgong's behavior, but he was not surprised at all!

After the defeat at Pingyang, the Luoan court was left with only Weiguan, the last stronghold, to escape complete defeat. Shangguan Changgong had been cornered by the Fengwu Army.

Therefore, the Fengwu Army had already anticipated that Shangguan Changgong would ask the Golden Horde for help, and Sun Changxu was also prepared for this trip.

However, the second letter was completely beyond Sun Changxu's expectations. This letter was written by Jamukha, who had just ascended the throne of Robe Khan, to Eshidoan...
Compared with Shangguan Changgong's implicit expression in the letter, Jamukha was much more explicit. In the letter, Jamukha told Aisidogan.

The Fengwu Army led by Ye Mingsheng would not allow the Golden Horde to dominate the grasslands. Therefore, as long as Asdogan launched a war against the Robes, the Fengwu Army would assist the Robes and would not even rule out armed intervention directly!
The Golden Horde would never be able to defeat the Robe people with the help of the Fengwu Army, so Jamukha believed that for the benefit of the Golden Horde and all the people of the steppes, Asdogan should not push the Robe people completely to the side of the Fengwu Army!
For this reason, the new Robe Khan proposed an idea that the two sides should not invade each other with the current controlled areas as the border. The Robe people should not try to take back the Western Elunqin steppe, and the Golden Horde should no longer covet the Eastern Elunqin steppe where the Robe people currently live. The two sides should cease fire and not fight!

Compared with Shangguan Changgong's request for help, Jamukha's letter to Asdogan was completely beyond Sun Changxu's expectations!

As an official of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, although Sun Changxu was mainly responsible for the Golden Horde, he also had some understanding of the affairs of the Robe Kingdom.

Knowing that the Fengwu Army has always been more supportive of Jamukha within Luobi, they gave Jamukha some support in terms of materials and weapons, and the relationship between the two sides became very close····························

The Fengwu Army's treatment of the Cumans and the Robe people on the grasslands has always been in accordance with the national policy of the Great Zhou, encouraging the two sides to kill each other. Now Jamukha has taken the initiative to propose peace talks with the Cumans, which is undoubtedly a betrayal of the Fengwu Army!
Thinking of this, Sun Changxu couldn't help but curse in his heart, this Jamukha is indeed an ungrateful wolf who can never be tamed!

Although he was very angry about what Jamukha had done, feeling the gaze of Esdogan on him, Sun Changxu knew that he could not let Esdogan see his true thoughts.

Seeing that Sun Changxu was reluctant to speak, Esiduoan couldn't help but ask with interest:
"Emissary of the Fengwu Army, you have been reluctant to speak. Are these two letters difficult for you to accept?"

Facing Asdogan's question, Sun Changxu raised his head and said with a smile:

"You are joking, Khan. I was just wondering what is your purpose in showing me these two letters?"

"Oh? Are you thinking about my purpose?"

"My purpose is very simple. I want to let you know that your man who thinks he is Marshal Ye is not as smart as he thinks!"

"He thought he could control everything and use the Robe people to kill each other, but in fact he was just a tool used by Robe!"

Feeling Asdoan’s contemptuous look and disdainful tone, Sun Changxu gradually realized Asdoan’s purpose···························

After a moment of silence, Sun Changxu began to speak:
"You are wrong, Khan! Whether we are facing the Luobi people or your country, our foreign policy is always based on equality and mutual respect. Our army has never thought of using the Luobi people to deal with your country!"

"We, the Fengwu Army, are a righteous army that pursues peace. We hope that Luobei and your country can move towards peace, so that there will be no more war and killing on the grassland. If the two sides can really sit down and negotiate, I believe this is what our Marshal wants to see!"

Hearing Sun Changxu's high-sounding words, Asdogan couldn't help but burst into laughter and said:
"Emissary of the Fengwu Army, you Zhou people are so damn hypocritical!"

"Your Fengwu Army is a peace army? This is the biggest joke I have ever heard in my life!"

"Emissary of the Fengwu Army, count carefully on your fingers. Since the establishment of the Fengwu Army, in which year have we not been at war?"

"You Fengwu troops are either fighting or preparing for war!"

"If there hadn't been a war, your Fengwu Army would still be in Fengzhou City in Liaoyang. How could you control half of the Great Zhou now?"

“If you, the Fengwu Army, really don’t want to see any more war and killing on the grassland, then stop aiding Luobi and let me annex Luobi. I guarantee that there will be no more war on the grassland…”

Looking at Asdogan, who was full of sneers and ridicule, Sun Changxu did not get angry and continued to preach slowly:

"Great Khan, you are wrong again. Our Great Zhou has its own national conditions!"

The reason why my general raised an army was because the court was controlled by the traitor Shangguan Hongyuan and his followers, causing chaos in the government and the people's livelihood was miserable! "My general felt pity for the people and couldn't bear to see the people living in dire straits, so he raised an army to purge the emperor and support the Zhou Dynasty in exchange for a peaceful and prosperous world in the Zhou Dynasty!"

"This is a move that complies with the will of heaven and the will of the people, not for the personal selfishness of our Marshal!"

"The situation in the grassland is different from that in my Great Zhou. The Robe people and the Golden Horde are not affiliated with the same country. If your tribe annexed the Robe people, it would be an unparalleled disaster for hundreds of thousands of Robe people!"

"The Khan said that the sea of ​​suffering is endless and turning back is the shore. If you can let go of your selfish desires, I believe it will be a great good deed for the people of both ethnic groups!"

Upon hearing this, Asdoan snorted coldly and said:

“What a sharp-tongued Fengwu Army envoy! Your Marshal Ye fights wars in accordance with the will of heaven and the people, but I fight the Luo people just for my own selfish desires and kill them. Wouldn’t such behavior make people all over the world laugh at me?”

Hearing what Asdogan said, Sun Changxu was about to retort, but seeing that Asdogan seemed to feel that he could not win in eloquence, he spoke directly:
"Emissary of the Fengwu Army, if your Marshal Ye really wishes that we negotiate with the Robe people and there will be no more wars on the grassland, then there is no problem for our Golden Horde to sign a peace treaty with the Robe people right now!"

"After signing the peace treaty with the Luobei people, I will agree to go south with Shangguan Changgong. I believe he will give me a reward that will satisfy me!"

After Asdogan said this, before Sun Changxu said anything, the old man Asu's expression changed slightly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Faced with such a naked and undisguised threat from Asdogan, Sun Changxu's expression became serious. He looked at Asdogan meaningfully and said:

"I believe you, Great Khan, have already tried going south!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Esidogan's expression immediately turned cold, thinking that someone had tipped off Sun Changxu during the time he was in custody, and a hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes as he looked at Sun Changxu.

If he was just doubting just now, then feeling the coldness in Esidoan's expression, Sun Changxu became more and more certain of his judgment!
Asdogan has already sent the Cumans to the south to interfere in the war, and the result should not be good news. Otherwise, given the Cumans’ usual character, they would have already made a big fuss about it by now, and would not have hidden themselves until now...

Assuming that Sun Changxu already knew the outcome of the battle in Shayuan County, Aisiduoan asked Sun Changxu in a cold voice:

"Who told you this news?"

In response, Sun Changxu shook his head and said:
"Great Khan, you ordered me to be separated from my subordinates, locked me in the courtyard and not allowed the guards and maids to talk to me. How could I know the news from the outside world?"

"But I think you, the Khan, will be unable to resist intervening in Yunbing's situation, and now that you have suddenly summoned me, there must be some changes in the situation!"

Sun Changxu's answer surprised Asdog a little. He looked at Sun Changxu deeply as if he wanted to see through Sun Changxu's heart to know whether Sun Changxu was deceiving him.

The news of the annihilation of the entire Iraqi army was reported back to Lesa yesterday. Asdogan was also very shocked and surprised by the news.

Among the goals he gave to Taiyak, he did not order Taiyak to achieve much results in this southward march. He only ordered Taiyak to harass the supply lines of the Fengwu Army and support the offensive of the Imperial Army from the rear of the Fengwu Army. If he saw that the situation was not good, he should retreat immediately.

Based on this goal, Asdogan believed that the Fengwu Army’s energy was attracted by the Imperial Guard, and the risk of the Eagle Division under Taiyiraq was very small, so he never expected that even so, Taiyiraq would end up being completely wiped out...
Moreover, it was learned from the fleeing soldiers that the Fengwu Army troops participating in this battle, in addition to the cavalry of the Fengwu Army's Third Division, were the infantry of the Fengwu Army's Ninth and Tenth Divisions.

However, in the battle sequence of the Fengwu Army, these two divisions were not the ace main divisions of the Fengwu Army, but reserve divisions with relatively average combat effectiveness!
After hearing the news, Taiyak was honestly a little bit unbelievable. Although Taiyak believed that the Fengwu Army's combat effectiveness was relatively strong based on its past battle records with the Luoan court and the Luobi people, he did not expect the Fengwu Army's combat effectiveness to be so strong.

Part of the forces of the two reserve divisions, plus several thousand Fengwu Army cavalry, can completely wipe out an Eagle Division of the Golden Horde!
Although it is a little hard to accept, the facts are before us and Esidogan has no choice but to accept it!

The disastrous defeat of Taiyak also caused quite a stir within the Golden Horde, and many Golden Horde people began to re-evaluate the strength of the Fengwu Army!
At the same time, because a large number of conservative forces within the Golden Horde believed that the Golden Horde should currently focus all its energy on dealing with the Robes' dominance of the grasslands, rather than using its precious military forces to support the Loan court, which had a blood feud with the Khanate, Asdogan gave orders directly to Taiyrak this time without discussing it within the Khanate.

If this were successful, everyone would be happy, but now that it has failed, many people within the Golden Horde believe that Great Khan Asdogan should be held responsible for this matter, which is a big blow to Asdogan's prestige...
Some great nobles of the Golden Horde also expressed that the Khan should listen more to opinions within the Khanate, not act on his own, and should focus on dealing with the Robe people. As for the Fengwu Army and the Luoan court, just let them fight each other.

These opinions from the outside world also put a lot of pressure on Asdogan. He hated these short-sighted and self-righteous old ministers. These old ministers stubbornly believed that there was no difference between the Fengwu Army and the previous Great Zhou Dynasty, and there would be no problem in allowing the Fengwu Army to unify the Great Zhou.

However, Esidogan could already feel Ye Mingsheng's undisguised ambition in the city of Lesa, thousands of miles away. He knew that once the Fengwu Army unified the Great Zhou, then with the size of the Great Zhou, coupled with the Fengwu Army's advanced firearms, it would be a disaster for the Golden Horde!

Therefore, the destruction of Taiyak's troops not only did not dispel Asdogan's idea of ​​interfering in the situation of the Great Zhou, but instead strengthened Asdogan's determination!
He felt that the Zhou people's saying of taking precautions is better than taking risks was very good. The only pity was that the Fengwu Army had become so powerful now!

Although he had this idea, what made Asdog helpless was that although he was the Great Khan of the Golden Horde and the leader of all the Golden Horde tribes.

However, because he had just come to power and his prestige in the Khanate was not that great, he had to respect the opinions within the Khanate more, and sometimes even had to make some compromises··························
