Chapter 231 1 Two Gangs of Good Men

Chapter 231 A Good Man Has Three Helpers
In order to seize resources and strengthen itself, it constantly attacked various tribes, causing the right wing of Mongolia to fight against it one after another.

This naturally led to a conflict with the leader of the Mongolian right wing, Bushitu of the Tumed tribe.

So Lin Danhan attacked the Kharchin tribes outside the borders of Xuanfu and Jizhou, while fighting with the Tumed tribe outside the borders of Xuanfu and Datong, and killed Bushitu's uncle, Huang Taiji of the Fifth Route.

After this, Ligdan Khan attacked the Ming Dynasty and killed tens of thousands of Datong soldiers and civilians, which made Chongzhen furious. So, under the suggestion of Wang Xiangqian to use barbarians to control barbarians, Chongzhen organized a coalition of Tumed, Yongshaobu and Ordos to fight Ligdan Khan at the Aibugai River.

The strategy of using barbarians to control barbarians was correct, but it did not achieve the goal.

Because the three-part allied forces not only failed to kill the Diangou Ligdan Khan, but were instead defeated by Ligdan Khan. The Tumed leader Bushitu, who was also the King of Shunyi appointed by the Ming Dynasty, died of illness in Hetao just a few days after his escape.

At this point, Lin Danhan had no rivals at all on the Mongolian right wing.

However, what this madman Lindan Khan did not expect was that he was so complacent about his bravery and martial arts that he completely chilled the hearts of the Mongolian tribes because of his overly tough and unreasonable military actions.

Fearing that they would be annexed by Ligdan Khan sooner or later, these Mongolian tribes turned to Huang Taiji, who had a more moderate annexation strategy, for protection.

They even begged Huang Taiji, a foreigner, to send troops to severely punish their compatriots and "Great Khan".

This gave Huang Taiji an excuse and support to launch several westward expeditions, completely taking control of the Mongolian right wing and the former Chahar territory, thus enabling Huang Taiji to grow rapidly.

Perhaps even Lin Danhan himself could not have imagined that after all his fighting on the grassland, he would end up making things easier for Huang Taiji!

Although Wang An suspected that the current Ming Emperor Chongzhen was also a time traveler, the Xuanda tragedy that originally angered Chongzhen did not happen, and the Ming court had no reason to instigate the Tumed, Yongshaobu, and Ordos tribes to form an alliance.

However, as long as Lindan Khan wanted to become the well-deserved Great Khan of Mongolia, he would inevitably have to fight with these three tribes.

Therefore, the original history will eventually return to the normal track, and the fool Lin Danhan will still make wedding dresses for Huang Taiji.

Although Wang An did not consider himself a Ming Dynasty man, he was still a Han Chinese after all, and did not want to see Huang Taiji become stronger and enter the Central Plains.

If possible, I still hope that Lindan Khan will stop causing trouble on the grassland and assist the Jiannu.

If Wang An had just arrived in Ming Dynasty, he would definitely not care about this trivial matter, because it was basically impossible to convince Ligdan Khan. Secondly, even if he convinced Ligdan Khan, it would only delay the date of death for Ming Dynasty.

But now, Wang An suspected that Chongzhen was a colleague, or had colleagues around him. As a proud time traveler, Wang An believed that if he could give some assistance to his colleagues, he could successfully delay the time of Lin Danhan's madness.

Alternatively, Chongzhen could be given more time to plan his plans.

Thinking of this, Wang An plucked up the courage to say:

"Your Majesty, the Khan, as the saying goes, people of integrity do not speak in secret. I really don't want to see a monarch as talented and ambitious as Your Majesty Khan die young before he has accomplished his mission because of a wrong choice!"

Wang An's untimely death immediately ignited Lin Danhan's anger. Lin Danhan stood up straight, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets with anger, and roared: "You lowly Southern Dynasty man, how dare you curse this Khan!"

Wang An was so frightened that he was shaking all over, but he still managed to remain calm and said, "Great God among Gods, All-wise Genghis Longsheng Khan, I would not dare to curse you even if I had the guts to do so!"

(The All-Wise Genghis Longsheng Khan, the God among Gods, was the self-proclaimed name of Ligdan Khan, which shows how good he was at writing two strokes. The God among Gods... It's so funny.)
Wang An's flattery slightly calmed Lin Danhan's anger, but one of his big hands had already grasped the dagger used to cut mutton.

Wang An swallowed his saliva, stared at the dagger, and said quickly: "Your Majesty Khan, calm down. I am not talking nonsense!"

"Think about it. The Naiman and Aohan tribes have already surrendered to the Jiannu, the Khorchin tribe has completely fallen into the hands of Huang Taiji, and the thirty-six Kharchin families are also flirting with the Jiannu, secretly trying to form an alliance to deal with you, Khan!"

"The tribes on the right wing are unwilling to truly submit, and the stronger tribes such as the Tumed tribe have already clashed with Khan Ning, and there is already a trend of forming an alliance."

"Even with the Ming Dynasty, relations are strained because you allowed your troops to invade... your visit at the beginning of the year."

"Although we have already made peace, doesn't the Ming Dynasty want you, Khan... ahem, so it's not an exaggeration to describe your Chahar tribe as being in a precarious situation with internal and external troubles, Khan?"

Although Wang An stopped talking in time when talking about the Ming court's attitude towards Ligdan Khan, Ligdan Khan could guess that the Ming court definitely hoped that Ligdan Khan would disappear completely.

It also saves me from causing trouble on the grassland.

However, Ligdan Khan claimed to be the god among gods, and the Tumed tribe, the Thirty-six Kharchin families, and the Ming Dynasty court were all just chickens and dogs.

Even if it is the Jiannu, ahem... the Jiannu are still quite strong.

But after I unify the grassland, you all must die!
Therefore, although what Wang An said was true, Lin Danhan still didn't take it seriously. He said with a domineering look, "They are just some chickens and dogs. Even the Khan of Haixi Jurchens never took them seriously!"

Wang An quickly flattered him, "Yes, yes, in front of the Khan's great talent and wisdom, Mongolia and Liaodong are all just small calamities!"

"It's just that we have a saying in the Ming Dynasty, 'A hero never suffers a loss in front of him, two fists cannot defeat four hands, and a hero has three helpers..."

"Shut up, what do you want to say?" Lin Danhan waved his hand impatiently.

Wang An quickly shut up and then continued, "What I want to say is that throughout history, even a great ruler like Kublai Khan was able to establish the Yuan Dynasty. In addition to the Qiexue Army led by him, he also had a Wuwei Army composed of elite Han cavalry!"

"Although your majesty, Ke Han, is as talented and wise as Kublai Khan, it is unreasonable to expect that you can unify the grasslands by relying on the Chahar tribes alone, or even..."

Wang An showed an expression that you understand, and then said again: "Even if it can be done, the casualties will be too great. By then, even if you gain control of the world, how can you maintain your position if your direct army is not strong enough?"

"Even if you can use force to force the Mongolian tribes to submit to you, they may not be able to be loyal to you wholeheartedly!"
