In the face of fierce opposition from the ministers, even the Son of Heaven could not insist on going his own way. Because he has already tasted the bitterness of insisting on going his own way, this time he ignored the dissuasion of his ministers to drive the expedition, resulting in the result that he is now trapped in a Jedi, and countless soldiers and officials are slaughtered by the Mongols at the foot of the mountain.

So in the end, after some hesitation, Zhu Qizhen hesitated and said: "What you Aiqing said is indeed reasonable, and Rong Zhen will think about it again......"

Seeing that the emperor said so, and the ministers were not persecuted too much, they got up one after another and no longer forced them. Seeing that they were temporarily retreating, he approached the emperor and whispered: "Your Majesty, this is the only way we can escape from the danger here, otherwise once we annoy the Tartars under the mountain and let them attack with their troops, those soldiers who have been short of water for a day may not be able to support it." "At this time, the prince has long lost his previous vigor and does not take people in his eyes. After seeing the surprise cavalry rushing and killing, he no longer wanted to meet the Mongols on the battlefield.

"There is some truth in Mr.'s concerns, but what Zhong Aiqing said can't be ignored. If I was really forced by them to agree to those three requests, would I be judged like this in the history books in the future? But Zhu Qizhen is obviously still worried, after all, if he is forced to make such an alliance, he will definitely be laughed at by the people of the world and future generations.

"Your Majesty, this is just a temporary expedient measure, as long as we get out of trouble temporarily and return to Xuanfu, we can still think of bringing this city back. What kind of covenant, as long as we win and break the enemy later, naturally we don't have to follow it anymore. Wang Zhen had already used all his brains at this time, trying to persuade: "When the time comes, not only do we not have to follow their demands, but we can even let them compensate us for our losses." ”

These words scratched the itch in the heart of the Son of Heaven again, and made him feel a little moved.

As a king, Zhu Qizhen has his own dignity, and being forced to such a point by the Mongolian people is that in addition to fear, he is more resentful. Of course, he hoped that one day he could strike back and annihilate all the Tartars below. But obviously, with the fighting spirit and combat strength of these soldiers and horses around him now, it is impossible to do it. But if they can't do it, it doesn't mean that the border army can't do it. The bravery of the border army that stood in the way of the Mongolian charge the day before yesterday, he saw it with his own eyes.

Although the emperor did not speak, Wang Zhen had clearly felt his thoughts, so he continued to try to persuade: "And Your Majesty, the old slave said something unpleasant, I am afraid that the thoughts of these adults are not so pure, and now they are trying their best to stop it, and it may not be for the sake of Your Majesty's sage." ”

"What do you mean by that?" The emperor couldn't help but be stunned and asked casually.

"Your Majesty, this matter is very simple, didn't the Tartar envoy put forward three conditions, and the third one is for us to hand over twenty officials as hostages. Obviously, they were afraid that once His Majesty really made peace with the Tartars, they would be sent there as hostages. Wang Zhen quickly gave a rather villainous statement.

Therefore, his prince may not be very good at other things, but when it comes to spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and grasping the mood of the Son of Heaven, it is still quite good. With this, the emperor really fell into deep thought.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of this overall plan, let's admit even if we bear a temporary infamy. As long as we return to Xuanfu and regroup our troops and horses, we will definitely be able to return today's humiliation to the Tartars. Wang Zhen continued to bewitch.

After some contemplation and embarrassment, the Son of Heaven was really moved: "You are right, the temporary concession is only for the final victory, I have decided!" Go, call them all, I'm going to make a decree!" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Wang Zhen was overjoyed, and after a word of flattery, he ran out in a hurry, and this time it was actually the prince himself who went to gather the ministers.

At the foot of the mountain, in the midst of the Mongolian army, after listening to the messenger's reply, many people's faces became a little unpleasant: "These Han people are really determined to fight us to the end." In that case, Taishi, let's just attack the mountain today. ”

"Yes, Taishi, there must be a shortage of water on this mountain, and the Ming army's ability to defend under this situation will inevitably be greatly reduced. We are confident that we will go up the mountain in a day or two, and they will give us whatever we want! ”

Looking at the appearance of these guys below who were excited to fight, Ye Xian was unmoved, but just glanced at them with a smile: "Of course I believe that with the combat strength of our grassland warriors, it is enough to annihilate all the Ming troops on the mountain." But have you ever thought about how much damage this can cause? Don't forget, there is also the emperor of their Ming Kingdom on the mountain. Under such circumstances, the Ming army will definitely fight desperately to resist our attack. If I could storm it, I would have let people attack the mountain yesterday, so why wait until today? ”

"That'...... Is it just so consumed? ”

"We can afford it. Even if they really refuse to believe our sincerity out of caution or for any other reason, as long as it drags on for another two days, the Ming army on the mountain will be defeated, and then we will be able to minimize the losses by attacking the mountain again. He also said first, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Go back and watch your respective people, and don't do anything to disobey military orders." ”

Seeing that the Taishi had already said it to this point, the patriarchs and generals only bent down and said yes, not daring to argue again. As he said, what is really urgent now is the Ming army on the mountain, as long as they calm down, victory will definitely belong to them.

Just as everyone was slowly coming out of the big tent of Yexian, suddenly a wailing sound sounded on the mountain, which really startled these people. Everyone hurriedly looked up at the mountain, but because of the distance, they couldn't see any clues, but the cry seemed to be louder.

At this time, he was also alarmed by this sudden sound, and came out to inquire about the situation. Then, after thinking for a while, he showed a smile: "It seems that our plan is about to succeed, this must be the Ming Emperor who agreed to our request despite the opposition of his courtiers, so those officials will cry so miserably." ”

"Hahaha, that's a good dare, this time we can achieve an unprecedented victory, that's the emperor of the Ming Kingdom!"

"When the time comes, they will definitely cry even more ugly than they do now, hahaha!"

Everyone laughed proudly, and before that, an unpredictable smile flashed across their faces, and their gaze at the hill in front of them became fierce, like a hungry wolf staring at a delicious prey.

Everything really happened as he had guessed. After the Son of Heaven reconvened his ministers and uttered the remarks that they had tried so hard to dissuade them from being for their own safety, these officials who were dedicated to serving the country and the king were really struck by lightning and were speechless for a long time.

There was the shrewd, and they quickly guessed that all this must be the hateful eunuch next to him, but at this point, they really couldn't refute it.

Maybe some people really have such thoughts, but the vast majority of people actually consider the reputation of the Son of Heaven. But this kind of unwarranted statement is often the most fatal, and in the end they can only kowtow and cry, but after all, they can't change the decision of the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, after the earth-shaking cries of the ministers, a messenger from the Ming side rushed down from the mountain and came to them.

In the face of the ill-intentioned eyes of a group of people, this official of the Ministry of Rites named Ji Huai was not afraid at all, just calmly walked into the tent, and then said the meaning of the Son of Heaven entrusted to him: "The first two of the three requests you put forward, we can agree to the first two, but the third, these officials are all humerus in the court, don't give you too much, can only give it to ten of you!" ”

"Do you not know your situation? But he refused to show even this bit of sincerity! Immediately, some Mongolian people reprimanded angrily.

Soon, however, their shouts were also waved down first. I saw that after he pondered, he stretched out his thick right hand and spread his five fingers: "Fifteen, no less!" ”

Looking at this irrefutable attitude, Ji Huai's face first hesitated, and finally nodded: "Just do what the master wants." This afternoon, we will send men here, and we hope that you will be able to withdraw your troops as agreed. ”

"Of course. Our men on the grassland are the most kept-keeping promises, as long as you hand over all the people, we will retreat. "I also promised immediately.

With this guarantee, Ji Huai finally relaxed a little. Then, after making the covenant, he carried the covenant and went back to the mountain.

As soon as he was gone, he descended first, and all the Mengmen had a smug look on their faces, and they knew that their plan had basically succeeded, and now they were only waiting for their prey to fall into the trap by itself.

The Ming court, which has always been procrastinating, can be regarded as extremely fast this time, and after noon, fifteen important ministers of the court have already walked down the mountain with pale faces.

These people are all important officials in various important yamen of the imperial court, but for the safety of the Son of Heaven and for the final victory of this battle, they can only give up their lives now. Because they know that there is only a dead end waiting for them.

After receiving them and confirming the identities of these people, he first ordered them to be tied up, and then quickly gave the order to retreat.

The Mongols, who were originally surrounded by hills, finally slowly retreated, as if they had really kept their promise.

When they saw this scene, those people on the mountain were obviously relieved, although they didn't want to admit it, but it was a fortunate thing to be able to leave alive in this desperate situation.

Only Zhu Qizhen, with sparkling eyes, has secretly made up his mind that he must be ashamed. And in the Mongolian army that he couldn't see, there was also a pair of eyes staring at the mountain, full of murderous intent!
