Chapter 942: Jamukha’s reluctance!

Seeing Gao Shen leaving with an arrogant and fearless look, Jamukha's eyes were filled with murderous intent···························

After the Golden Horde occupied Yongliang, Jamukha keenly realized that this was a godsend opportunity!
As the Luobi Khan supported by the Fengwu Army, Jamukha was very familiar with the situation and style of the Fengwu Army. He had also personally gone to Yijing as an envoy of the Luobi people to meet Ye Mingsheng.

Ye Mingsheng's dominance and tyranny left a very deep impression on Jamukha, so he guessed that with Ye Mingsheng's character, he would never tolerate the Golden Horde's occupation of the territory of the Great Zhou!
The internal problems of the Golden Horde did not allow Asdogan to be weak, so a fierce battle was bound to break out between the Fengwu Army and the Golden Horde over Yongliang!
And the fact was just as Jamukha had thought. As the Golden Horde occupied Yongliang, Ye Mingsheng quickly took action and personally led more than 30,000 troops to support the front line, vowing to safeguard the territorial integrity of the Great Zhou and give the invaders a heavy blow!
Jamukha was very excited when he heard the news. Although he became the Khan of Luobi as he wished, his competitor Nurjiang was saved by the Fengwu Army.

In addition, the Suolong tribe was also wooed by the Fengwu Army, and the Luobi tribes were also instigated by the Fengwu Army to become disunited and no longer united as before.
This also meant that although Jamukha was called the Great Khan of Luobi, he was actually unable to gather the power of the Luobi tribes and use it effectively. Even Ye Mingsheng's words were more effective than him, the Great Khan of Luobi, among the Luobi tribes.

This also made Jamukha more wary of the Fengwu Army. He wanted to break free from the control of the Fengwu Army and become the real Luobi Khan!
But it is not so easy to get rid of the control of the Fengwu Army. During this period of honeymoon between the two sides, a large number of Fengwu Army's goods poured into the Luobi tribes.

The lower-class herdsmen wanted the Fengwu Army's iron pots, cloth, tea and other daily necessities, while the powerful and wealthy wanted the Fengwu Army's ceramic utensils, silk and other luxury goods.

In addition to these commodities, the culture of the Great Zhou also flourished among the Luobi tribes, and some of the originally vulgar and reckless Luobi nobles even learned to follow the culture.

In addition to commodities and culture, the firearms and armor of the Fengwu Army also became weapons sought after by the Luobi tribes!

Relying on these advantages, the Fengwu Army gradually infiltrated into every aspect of Luobi, into the daily life of the Luobi people, and became an indispensable thing for the Luobi people!

This infiltration made Jamukha feel very helpless, but it also strengthened his determination to get rid of the control of the Fengwu Army. However, although he had firm will and determination!
But unfortunately, not all Robe people share the same idea as him, like Ibugele, the chief of the Solon tribe, believes that the existence of the Fengwu Army has increased his wealth and made life better for him and his people, so why should they boycott the Fengwu Army····························

Just when Jamuka was racking his brains over how to persuade his people to break free from the control of the Fengwu Army and let the Luobei people return to their original nature as a grassland tribe!
The current war between the Fengwu Army and the Golden Horde made Jamukha realize the opportunity!

Ever since the Robe people lost their ancestral land of West Elunqin Steppe at the hands of the former Khan Arsalan, West Elunqin Steppe has become an eternal pain in the hearts of all Robe people!
If he could take back the ancestral land of Western Elunqin Steppe from the hands of the Kipchaks while the Kipchak Khanate concentrated its forces to fight against the Fengwu Army.

Then Jamukha will become a hero of all Robe people, and his prestige as the Khan will increase significantly, which will be very helpful for him to unite the entire Robe around him!
This undoubtedly made Jamukha's heart very excited, but at the same time, the greed in his bones made him realize that he could not only take back the Western Elunqin steppe, but also extort money from the Fengwu Army, causing the Fengwu Army and the Golden Horde to fight each other, and finally he, the fisherman, would benefit!
So Jamukha took the initiative to find the Fengwu Army and expressed his willingness to lead the Robe people to attack the Golden Horde in order to support the Fengwu Army's attack in the Yongliang area!

That’s why Gao Shen came to meet him today. In Jamukha’s view, he and Luo Bi were of great value to Ye Mingsheng in the united front work…
Therefore, Ye Mingsheng would definitely be willing to use real money to bribe himself and Luo Bi, so that he could take the opportunity to control Marshal Ye!

Let this high and mighty Marshal Ye understand that he is the Great Khan Luobei, not his slave!
It’s not that he has to do something just because he wants to!
Just when Jamukha was immersed in the complacency of killing two birds with one stone and winning, he did not expect that Gao Shen would play such a trick on him!
Jamukha was very upset at this time. Although he had realized this situation before, he tried to win over Nurjiang and Ibugel and asked them to stand on his side this time to blackmail the Fengwu Army and demand benefits from Marshal Ye!

Ibugele and Nurjiang also agreed to this, but now it seems that they finally chose to betray!
He betrayed himself and the entire Luobi and stood on the side of the damn Fengwu Army!
Thinking of this, Jamukha wanted to skin Ibugele and Nurjiang alive and kill all their relatives without leaving a single one alive!
But reason forced Jamukha to face the cruel reality. The combined strength of Nurjiang and Ibugel was close to half of all the troops of Robi!
Their military strength is enough to pose a threat to the rule of the Golden Horde on the western Elunqin steppe, which means that the Fengwu Army does not need to participate in this operation...

Moreover, the firearms and armor provided by the Fengwu Army were also very helpful to the growth of Nurjiang and Ibugel's strength. Once these two ambitious guys really took back the Western Elunqin grassland.

First of all, these two people will definitely not give up the territory they have already taken. Secondly, these two people will become heroes of all the Robe people. This will also make their prestige and status in the tribe a threat to him as the Khan!

The ambitions of these two people will expand to the extreme. At that time, even if the Khan does not want to fight a civil war, he will probably be forced to fight!

Jamukha would not have any fear when dealing with Nurjiang and Ibugel, but what made him wary was that there was Ye Mingsheng standing behind these two people!

Compared to the Luobi people, the current Fengwu Army is already a behemoth, but the most terrifying thing is that the strength of the Fengwu Army is growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Just as Jamukha was thinking about how to break the impasse, his subordinate came over and offered a suggestion:
"Khan, let's wait for the oriole to come. The Golden Horde has three falcon divisions stationed on the Western Elunqin Steppe. If Ibugele and Nurjiang want to recapture the Western Elunqin Steppe, they must do their best!"

“So the tribes of Ibugele and Nurjiang will inevitably be left defenseless. So while they are attacking the Western Elunqin grassland, we might as well attack the lair of Nurjiang and Ibugele…”

When Jamuka heard this plan, his expression changed, but after thinking for a moment, he shook his head!
If there was such a good opportunity at other times, he would definitely not give up. Getting rid of Nurjiang and Ibugele has always been what he wanted to do!
But the Robe people and the Cumans were sworn enemies, and there were countless blood feuds between the two sides. So Nurjiang and Ibugel went to fight the Cuman Khanate and retake the Western Elunqin Steppe, which could be said to be a moral high ground. So to attack their tribe at this time and take advantage of the situation would be criticized by all the Robe people!
Jamukha even felt that if he did so, he would be opposed by his own subordinates, and when Nurjiang and Ibugel returned, the civil war among the Luobi tribes would break out immediately, and the situation would become even more out of control by then!

After careful consideration, Jamukha thought of many possibilities. Although he was helpless and angry, he had to admit that it seemed that the most cost-effective choice for him now was to surrender to Ye Mingsheng!

Thinking of this, Zhamuhe looked at the subordinates who had just had an argument with Gao Shen. He now needed to find Gao Shen back, so he needed a gift to apologize!

At this time, the subordinate didn’t know Jamukha’s idea, and he bowed to Jamukha with a flattering smile...
·······························
·······························
Yunbing, the mighty troops in the central part were marching on the country road. At the same time, Liu Zhi, the new general of the 13th Division of the Fengwu Army, rode his horse to the central army, dismounted and reported to Ye Mingsheng:

"Sir, Dagu County is just ahead! Dagu County Magistrate Huang Can is leading the county officials to greet you!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Mingsheng glanced at the city that was already vaguely visible in front of him, and then looked at the slightly gloomy sky. Thinking that it was going to rain, Ye Mingsheng immediately ordered:
"The entire army is heading for Dagu County, advance quickly! Tell the county magistrate to prepare ginger soup and hot meals!"

"Yes!"

An incense stick later, the army arrived at Dagu County. Because Dagu County was just a county town and not very large, in order not to disturb the people in the city, Ye Mingsheng ordered the army to set up camp outside Dagu County, and he led more than a thousand guards into the city.

Just as the Fengwu Army had set up camp, it began to rain heavily. Just as Ye Mingsheng and his men were settling down in the county government office, Ye Cheng came to report to Ye Mingsheng:

"My lord, Master Jingxuan may have caught a cold these days, and now he seems to have a fever!"

Hearing this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but frown slightly, then he walked towards the backyard of the government office. When he entered the room, he saw Jingxuan had fallen asleep.

Pei Zhixiu, with a slightly protruding belly, was singing a lullaby to Jingxuan softly. Seeing Ye Mingsheng coming in, Pei Zhixiu led Ye Mingsheng out so as not to disturb Jingxuan's rest.
Looking at Ye Mingsheng, Pei Zhixiu said softly:

"Jingxuan is fine, he's just tired from traveling these past few days, and he caught a cold on the road and has a fever!"

"I prescribed him a dose of medicine and he has already taken it. He will be fine after a good sleep and two days of rest. Husband, don't worry too much!"

Ye Mingsheng was relieved when he heard Pei Zhixiu say that. He then looked down at Pei Zhixiu's gradually bulging belly and said with concern:

"Jisu, how are you?"

Pei Zhixiu smiled and said:
"My child and I are fine, but my husband, please don't worry too much! Some things can't be changed overnight!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Mingsheng fell silent. Although this journey to the west was short, the few days did not allow Ye Mingsheng to carefully understand the people's sentiments.

However, these few days also allowed Ye Mingsheng to gain a preliminary understanding of the situation in Yunbing. The continuous wars in the past few years have caused soaring prices, seriously affecting the people's livelihood in Yunbing.

The common people who could not survive could only sell their land to the landlords, and then become tenants of the landlords and depend on them for their livelihood. This also caused a huge gap between the rich and the poor in society. It was not uncommon to see rich people living in luxury while others froze to death on the streets.

The gentry and the rich are living a life of luxury and decadence, competing with each other to show off, while the lives of ordinary people are worthless, and the scale of mass graves in various places is getting bigger and bigger····························

Many people who could not survive fled to the mountains and became bandits. At the same time, some defeated Yunbing soldiers also fled to the mountains and the two sides colluded with each other. Although these did not affect the overall situation of the Fengwu Army's control of Yunbing, they seriously affected the public security of Yunbing.

Ye Mingsheng saw all these and felt anxious. He felt that the most important thing was to rectify the administration of Yunbing and clean up the house so that he could get a transfusion from the Fengwu Army system, so that the Yunbing area could recover as soon as possible and get everything back on track!

Ye Mingsheng has already started to take action. Yesterday, he ordered the Central Council to set up an inspection department to move into Yunbing as soon as possible to coordinate and manage all matters.

As for the director of the Inspection Department, it was Qi Dechao, Ye Mingsheng's former attendant. He had performed very well in Youyan, Jiyu and other places in recent years, so Ye Mingsheng entrusted him with an important task this time.

Because war with the Golden Horde was about to break out, Yunbing was the only way for supplies, so Ye Mingsheng asked the Inspection Office to first ensure the transportation of food supplies and make sure that these food supplies could flow smoothly throughout Yunbing. As for other matters, they could be dealt with later.

Perhaps it was because Ye Mingsheng and Pei Zhixiu were talking too loudly, and they woke Jingxuan up from his sleep. The little guy rubbed his eyes and tentatively called out in a low voice:

“Daddy…”
