"After we take back Liaodong, the grassland will belong to you. As for sincerity, don't you think about it? Nurhaci has already been killed by us. If we take Liaodong and turn to support the Three Guards of Doyan, do you think they will destroy you?"
In fact, Zhu Youxiao would never support the Three Guards of Doyan.
First of all, their fighting power was not good. Among all the Mongolian tribes, the fighting power of the three guards of Doyan was the worst.
I don't know how they did it, but they can't beat anyone. They're such a loser. They've been with the Ming Dynasty for so many years, and they've always been fence-sitters with no integrity at all.
Of course, Khorchin may not have much integrity, but at least they are not scumbags, and they can still fight if a real fight comes. With Zhu Youxiao's support, many things will be much easier for Khorchin.
Wu Keshan looked at Zhu Youxiao with a terribly gloomy expression. This was something their tribe had always been worried about.
Now the Jiannu have been dragging the Ming Dynasty and causing trouble in Liaodong. But in the last battle, Nurhaci was killed by the Ming Dynasty. Does Huang Taiji have the ability of his father?
No one knew. In this situation, if everyone blindly followed Huang Taiji, it might not be a good idea.
Looking up at Zhu Youxiao, Wu Keshan was actually a little moved.
After all, the Ming Dynasty had no way of setting foot on the grasslands, so cooperation between the Khorchin and the Ming Dynasty was the best option. The Jiannu could come to the grasslands to fight the Khorchin, but the Ming Dynasty did not have the ability to do so.
Once he destroyed the three guards of Doyan and annexed them, he would have enough strength to make moves to the east or west.
"Are you willing to give up the three guards of Doyan?" Wu Keshan asked Zhu Youxiao.
"Of course I'm willing to do so." Zhu Youxiao said indifferently.
Although the Three Guards of Doyan follow the Ming Dynasty on the surface, they are useless except for getting benefits.
As for Ligdan Khan, whenever the Ming and Jiannu went to war, Ligdan Khan would undoubtedly intervene. In the original history, when the Liaodong campaign was defeated, Ligdan Khan sent reinforcements, not to rescue the Ming, but to maintain the balance of power. However, the reinforcements arrived too late, and the Ming was defeated too quickly.
If Khorchin took action to swallow up the three guards of Doyan, then Khorchin would become a wall between Ligdan Khan and the Jiannu.
If Huang Taiji wanted to go west, he had to take Khorchin. If Lin Dan wanted to go east, he also had to take Khorchin.
As for forming an alliance, Korchin is not a fool. What will he do after forming an alliance with someone and destroying the other party?
Just like when Zhuge Liang allied with Sun Quan, they could ally, but they couldn't destroy either of them. Furthermore, Khorchin had its own ambitions, so naturally, it wouldn't just become someone else's vassal.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Wu Keshan, pointed at the map, and continued, "So, the benefits of your cooperation with us are, first of all, we will support you in taking down the three guards of Doyan. The Ming army in Liaodong will directly advance and tie Huang Taiji to the Liaodong front, leaving him with no energy to move west."
"This is his stronghold. If he draws his troops westward, the Ming Dynasty will seize the opportunity to destroy his stronghold. He doesn't have the courage to do that."
"The Ming army on the Guangning front will advance and approach the three guards of Doyan. You will go directly south from the north and surprise attack the three guards of Doyan. If Ligdan Khan sends reinforcements, we will stop him here and help you fight back."
"As for whether you can defeat the three guards of Duoyan, that is your business. If you are incompetent, then I can do nothing about it."
"The alliance between our two families can be carried out secretly, and your sister will stay here. When it is time to make it public, I will appoint her as my consort."
"As for secret matters, I can provide you with some weapons, some as gifts for the alliance, and the rest you need to pay for. Don't worry, compared to what they smuggle to you, my things are the best."
"If this can be accomplished, then your Khorchin will rise in this region."
"What we need to do next is simple. The Ming Dynasty will send troops to Liaodong and march north from Shenyang to quell the rebellion. All you have to do is protect the western part of the Ming Dynasty and make sure that Ligdan Khan doesn't come here."
In fact, what Zhu Youxiao said was in vain. Before dealing with the Khorchin tribe, Lin Dan would never dare to get involved in the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Jiannu. That would only give the Khorchin an opportunity.
The same goes for Khorchin. They were also worried that once they got involved, Ligdan Khan would launch a surprise attack, leading to their annexation.
