Chapter 43: True Love
Eseku rushed to Wang Xing with an arrow, and tried to lower his voice: "Teacher, why? ”
"There's no way, he can see it, he has to go to Tengger, he can't do it without doing it."
"That?" Eseku looked around, approached Wang Xing, and said, "Where is his corpse?" ”
"In the big tent, waiting for you to inspect it."
Eseku smiled bitterly and turned around, "Haraur, you look around, and don't let anyone approach. ”
"Yes!"
Wang Xing's maid raised the curtain, and Eseku bowed her head slightly, and stepped into the big tent. The smell of wine in the big tent was very strong, but the smell of blood was not strong, it should have been cleaned, and on the right side of the big tent was a sheepskin, on which lay a corpse on its back. Eseku walked briskly and looked closer, and yes, it was Benjamin, who should have slit his throat to death from the wound, and did not shed much blood; There was a smile on Benjamin's face, and he seemed to be happier before he died, only a hint of a grin at the corner of his mouth, indicating that there was still some struggle and pain before he died.
Eseku shook his head, raised his hand slightly, helped Benjamin close his eyes, and then turned back and said, "Teacher, how did he find out?" ”
"Hehe, the grassland fire, the whole camp is in turmoil, he should know that the Great Khan is more auspicious, and he will leave the camp immediately to find Tengger. The old minister thought that his role was not much at the moment, but the old minister still wanted him to stay for a while and wait for the young leader to come back. But he insisted on leaving, and the old minister had no choice but to take the opportunity to toast, and Ling Chunhong killed him. ”
"Chunhong?" Eseku looked back at the maid beside Wang Xing, and found that Chunhong was standing beside Wang Xing, holding Wang Xing's arm, lowering her head, quietly, as if she hadn't heard anything.
"However, the teacher told me the story of Cao Cao's coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes, why can't we let Benjamin be a puppet?"
"This is different," Wang Xing shook his head: "Emperor Han Xian does not have an army in his hands, but Benjamin still has Tengger's 30,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and he will not be willing to be a puppet; And once the Golden Family has no heirs, then Tengger's subordinates will naturally fall apart, and the big leader can take the opportunity to co-opt; If Benjamin was still alive, Tengger and the army of the eastern steppes, the great leader would have to retreat to the West Sea and wait for the next opportunity. ”
"Oh," Esekul thought for a moment and nodded, but then pointed to Benjamin's corpse and said, "So what's next?" ”
"Hehe, young leader, the old minister has already planned, please see!" As he spoke, Wang Xing clapped his hands and walked out of the back account.
Eseku turned his head to look, subconsciously shouted, took three steps back, and with a "bang", the long knife came out of its sheath and pointed at the person: "You? You? Who are you? ”
Hearing the shouts of Eseku, Harawur hurriedly rushed in, swept in all directions, and immediately stopped in front of Eseku, holding a long knife in his hand, making a defensive gesture, but his hands trembled slightly, and his upper and lower teeth began to fight.
"Hehe, the young leader doesn't have to be nervous, this is Baoyin, Baoyin, I've seen the young leader."
"See, I've seen the young leader!"
Looking at the "Benjamin" kneeling in front of him, Eseku couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, in fact, as soon as this "Benjamin" opened his mouth, Eseku knew that he was an impostor, his voice was weak and weak, and he didn't have the domineering momentum of Benjamin's commanding and royal nobles at all.
Esekku immediately understood, waved his hand to Hara'ur to retreat, and then turned back and said, "Teacher, what's going on?" Where did he come from? ”
"Young Leader Rong Yu," Wang Xing bowed and saluted, "After the last time I went to discuss with Helin, the old minister picked up a slave on the road, and he felt pitiful at that time, so he took him back to the tribe. Originally, the old minister didn't care, just let him fend for himself, but by chance, the old minister found that he and Benjamin were three points similar, so the old minister immediately put on makeup and dressed up, and found that there were already seven points of similarity, if the distance was a little farther, and if he didn't speak, it was easy for people to mistakenly. ”
"This time I came here, and the old minister asked Baoyin to follow, but I didn't expect it to come in handy in the end."
"What does the teacher mean?"
"Young leader, the old minister is going to ......" The king walked to Eseku's side and muttered a few words in a low voice.
Eseku's face was blue and white for a while, his breathing gradually became short, and finally he said in a deep voice: "Very good, just follow the teacher's plan." ”
"Young leader LinkedIn!"
……
When Benjamin died, perhaps because of the connection between father and son, Erlebak suddenly panicked and involuntarily shed tears. Seeing his appearance, Xu Zengshou on the opposite side sneered: "What's wrong? The Great Khan of Mongolia was afraid of death? ”
Xu Zengshou was not joking, he really wanted to kill Erleboke, the steel knife in his hand was on Erleboke's neck, Erleboke was kneeling beside his several concubines, surrounded by dozens of unkempt Ming soldiers, their black armor had been taken off, and the inner armor was full of traces of smoke and fire, and even some people's inner armor burned a big hole, shivering in the cold wind, but their right hand was still firm, waiting for Xu Zengshou's order.
Xu Huizu's purpose in burning Helin was not to slaughter the city, but to cover Xu Zengshou's retreat and let him safely bring Erleboke and his party back. But what he didn't expect was that in the middle of the night, the north wind blew on the grassland, setting fire to the nearby grasslands and forests, and Xu Huizu had to lead people to flee east.
But Xu Zengshou and his party suffered, they went all the way to the south, plus there were Erleboke and others, the speed was not fast, so the next day before dawn, they were caught up by the fire.
In the face of Tianwei, Xu increased his life and ordered the whole army to go north and survive over the fire. Although Xu Zengshou personally took care of Erlebok, in the face of the fire and smoke, the army immediately fell into chaos. When Xu Zengshou ran to the burned grass, he woke up and looked around, only to find that Erleboke's Lele car was missing. Xu Zengshou was shocked, and immediately blew the horn, ordering the whole army to look for Erleboke together.
Fortunately, after the fire, the ground was scorched black, and there was no grass and woods to hide, and after some effort, he finally found Elebok, who was trying to escape from the chaos.
In fact, Erlebok has already accepted his fate, and has no idea of escaping, and in the vast grassland, how can he escape without war horses? But the concubine urged her to flee, and even cited the story of Genghis Khan's hiding in the wool pile to inspire Erlebok. Erlebek had no choice but to cheer up and flee for his life with a group of concubines and children.
Walking around the east and west of the fire, Erlebok and the others slowly dispersed, and when they woke up, Erlebok found that there were only three concubines including the eldest concubine around him, and the other concubines and children had disappeared.
But the matter has come to this point, and several of them can only find a place to hide, because it is impossible for the Ming army to let them go, so several of them hide in a mountain nest, covering their bodies with grass ash, hoping to avoid the search of the Ming army.
But the north wind blew and the grass ash flew, and they were still discovered by the Ming army. Xu Zengshou was overjoyed, and after rushing over, he kicked Erleboke, and then rushed up, put a knife on Erleboke's neck, and said with a cruel smile: "What's wrong?" You're very capable, but you're running? Why didn't you run away? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu killed you? ”
Looking at Xu Zengshou's fierce and vicious appearance, Erleboke was also a little scared, and hurriedly said: "General, this is all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, Ben Khan is not going to run, isn't this a fire?" Ben Khan accidentally got separated. ”
The concubines next to them also knelt down one after another, desperately explaining, the grievance they said, the sincerity, the people who didn't know thought they were wanderers in the Central Plains, and they very much hoped to go to Beijing to meet the Ming Emperor!
When Xu Zengshou was scolding, he happened to find that Erleburk was in tears, and he couldn't help laughing.
……
In the final count, there were only more than 4,000 of Xu Zengshou's 5,000 men and horses, nearly 1,000 burned and missing, and there were not many war horses, only more than 3,000. And there were only six concubines left in Erlebok, and as for the young children, they had already died in the fire.
After counting, Xu Zengshou frowned, it was a little difficult to do, nine times out of ten, this fire was put by the eldest brother, but he forced himself into a desperate situation. He thought about it for a while, and sent cavalry in the direction of Helin and the direction of Jidu Mountain, asking for reinforcements.
Finally, he rushed to Erlebak with a knife and tilted his head to stare at Erlebok and his wife and concubine, with a fierce look on his face.
Erlebak "chuckled" in his heart and said, "General, what do you mean?" We promise not to run, isn't that okay? ”
"No, General Ben is still a little uneasy, only the dead can reassure General Ben."
"In this way, you can survive the Great Khan, but only two of the six of you will survive, and the remaining four must die!"
Yes? "Why?" The concubines couldn't help screaming.
"You only have time for a stick of incense, and after a stick of incense, General Ben will kill someone."
……
Xu Zengshou watched this tragic scene from afar, a man and six women quickly quarreled, at this time, Erlebok's prestige did not work, and everyone wanted to survive. But soon, the crowd split into two camps, and Erlebak chose two old concubines and abandoned four younger ones. The four beautiful young women fell to their knees, pleading. Elebak seemed a little unbearable, and turned his head away; And the eldest concubine reprimanded them loudly, as if to make them accept their fate.
When Xu Zengshou rushed over, Erlebuke didn't speak, and the concubine walked out and said, "This general, put these four sluts to death." ”
Xu Zengshou said with a smile on his face: "What does the Great Khan mean?" ”
Erlebok gritted his teeth, the muscles of his cheeks twitched, and he said in a low voice: "The meaning of the concubine is the meaning of Ben Khan." ”
"Well, okay."
As soon as the words fell, one of the four concubines suddenly rushed out, knelt on the ground and said: "General, please don't kill me, the concubine is willing to serve the general, please don't kill me, general, please!" Saying that, she glanced at Xu Zengshou with silky eyes, then wiped the hair on her forehead, stroked her plump breasts, and climbed to Xu Zengshou with her upturned buttocks, hugging Xu Zengshou's thighs.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Ulunzhuzhige, and I hope the general will have mercy!" Ulunzhuzhige replied repeatedly.
Xu Zengshou smiled: "What about how many of you?" ”
The other three women looked at each other, and two women walked out with their heads bowed, knelt in front of Xu Zengshou, and said in a low voice: "Concubine Naren Tuoya is willing to serve the general." "The concubine Solonkova is willing to serve the general."
Xu Zengshou laughed, looked at the rest of the women, and said, "Would you rather die than serve General Ben?" ”
"General," the woman glanced back at Erlebok and said sadly, "General, Uren Haqin begs for death." ”
Erlebok suddenly felt a little heartache, tears flowed down his eyes, and the two concubines beside him also turned around one after another and comforted Erleboke, as if they were guilty.
"Well, General Ben will fulfill you!"
"Someone!"
"In!"
"Put this, this, and this, and fix the Fa on the spot!"
"General, general, you are mistaken!"
"Hehe, it's you who killed!"
As the steel knife fell, Erlebok's three concubines died tragically on the spot, and the remaining concubines were silent, and Erlebok fainted and fell.
But there was no one to help him, and one of the soldiers rushed up, took a look, and reported: "General, he has fainted, and there is no big problem!" ”
"Very good," Xu Zengshou smiled, "Ulunzhuzhige, Naren Toya, and Zolong Gaova, you take good care of your Great Khan, if he has any mistakes, whether he is sick or escaped, none of you will survive; In the same way, if one of you escapes, then you will die together. Do you understand? ”
The three women suddenly realized that this young general had a purpose, that is, to kill the Khan's henchmen, and the three of them, what they had done just now, had already betrayed the Khan, but now they had become the most suitable candidates to spy on the Khan.
But the matter has come to this, and I can only accept my fate. They turned and walked towards Elebak......
