Chapter 827: Thrilling
Datong, among the garrison tents.
Magui also met someone he didn't expect.
"Kabi Yatu has seen General Magui!"
The person who came was dressed in aristocratic clothes, and he was light and simple, but he couldn't hide the nobility on his body.
It is the current Taishi of Tumut, Kabi Yatu!
"It's really a rare guest, now when my army is fighting, I don't know why the Taishi Starry Night is here? Do you want to make peace with me again? ”
I have to say that the arrival of Kabi Yatu made Magui a little unexpected, but he quickly regained his composure and said with a sneer.
But he never thought that the latter had a complicated face and spoke.
"The general's guess is right, Kabi Yatu really hopes that the Ming will be able to re-admit the Tumut Ministry! This battle started, it was really a pull like a bent on going his own way, the Tumut Department was deceived by it from top to bottom, and the Ming Dynasty and Tumut have been friends for generations, so I came here this time as if I was begging the general to be able to make this intention clear to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and stop the war! ”
"Joke, you lied to me once, do you want to deceive me a second time? General Ben remembers the rule that the two armies will not be killed in battle, and today will not embarrass the Taishi, or leave quickly, don't try to confuse the hearts of our army! ”
Ma Gui didn't save any face for this important master in Tumut, and picked up the teacup to send off the guests.
Faced with Magui's attitude, Kabi Yatu's face sank, but fortunately, he had already considered this situation before he came over, sighed, and said in a deep voice.
"General Mingjian, Kabi Yatu swears in the name of the gods, this time to find the general, absolutely sincerely want to re-submit to the Ming Dynasty, if the general does not believe it, Kabi Yatu can order the reinforcements that are rushing to withdraw to the royal city tomorrow, in order to express sincerity!"
Such a statement can not be described as insincere, because even Ma Gui had to put down the teacup in his hand and began to seriously look at this Taishi from Tumut.
It should be said that Ma Gui did not doubt his sincerity, although Ma Gui was not clear about the situation on Tumut's side, he also had a rough idea of it, not to mention that Kabi Yatuken came in person, which represented his sincerity.
You must know that whether it was when the third lady was there or after her disappearance, Kabi Yatu was the number two person in the Tumut Ministry without any intention of asking, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was a high authority.
The problem though......
"The sincerity of the Taishi has been seen by the general, but such a big event, the Taishi's idea, I'm afraid it can't be done!"
Magui shook his head, looked at Kabi Yatu, and said with a regretful face.
After thinking carefully about what he had said since he entered the account, Ma Gui had already seen that this so-called peace negotiation was just the idea of Kabi Yatu alone, and his weight was obviously not enough!
Kabi Yatu's face twitched, obviously being poked at the pain point, and after a moment of silence, he nodded slowly and said.
"The general is really wise, this matter is indeed the intention of Kabi Yatu alone, but please rest assured, Kabi Yatu does not expect to be able to completely stop this war, but only hopes that after the war is over, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty can forgive the innocent Tumut civilians and re-admit Tumut!"
After a pause, Kabi Yatu spoke, as if he had made up his mind.
"If the general can agree to this, Kabi Yatu can immediately bring back reinforcements from the royal city, and tell the general about the logistics and transportation routes of the army and the deployment of troops in various parts of the battalion!"
"General Shuben can't understand why Taishi, as the Taishi of Tumut, made such a ......"
Such a betrayal of the Headquarters......
Ma Gui's eyes narrowed, but he groaned.
It should be said that if Kabi Yatu had only allowed himself to see his sincerity before, then the conditions he is proposing now are very tempting.
The logistics transportation route of the army has always been the lifeblood of the army, especially this time the Tumut Department is not the customary grassland field battle, but the siege war, so the logistics has become particularly important, in fact, if it is not for the exchange of money with the Ming Dynasty for so many years, so that the Tumut Department has accumulated rich resources, it is difficult for them to support such a long war of attrition.
And Ma Gui and a cadre of generals have long carefully studied Tumut's logistics transportation, perhaps because they have no such experience, so their logistics transportation is not stable, and it is obvious that several routes have been set up in order to prevent detection.
In other words, if he could know the route and time of their transportation of grain and grass, Magui could easily cut off their supplies, and then cause the enemy army to collapse without a fight.
However, it is a pity that Tumut's logistics and transportation routes are kept secret very well, and the time and route are strictly confidential, so Ma Gui has no way to start.
So at this moment, Kabi Yatu proposed to use this as a condition of exchange, which shocked Magui.
If he had doubted whether this was a suspicious ploy of the enemy, he would not have doubted it at all when Kabiyatu made this condition.
Because it is meaningless, not to mention withdrawing reinforcements to the royal city, even if the information he revealed is false, then what Ma Gui has lost is at most a partial division.
To cut off the route of transporting grain, it is not enough to use a large army......
Therefore, even if this is a trap, it is impossible to affect the overall strength of the Ming army, so there is no need for Kabi Yatu to take such a big risk in order to eliminate such a partial division.
So, why did he do it?
"Rip is not worthy of sweat!"
Kabi Yatu's face instantly became gloomy, and after a while, a complicated light flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly.
"I want to hear about it."
Ma Gui remembered the information that had been transmitted from Tumut's side in the past few days, and he had a vague guess in his heart, but he continued to ask.
"It was he who murdered the three ladies......"
After hesitating for a moment, Kabiyatu's face was sad, and his voice trembled slightly.
"The third lady has paid her life for the Tumut Ministry, for the stability of the tribe, even her own son did not favor it, and handed over the sweat position to Tuolik, but he was not satisfied, he dared to collude with Lin Dan and assassinate the third lady, as the Taishi of the Tumut Ministry, how could I sit idly by? Please promise me that I must kill Pullik and avenge the three ladies! ”
At the end of the words, Kabi Yatu's face suddenly became extremely hideous, and Ma Gui felt a chill in his heart.
Suppressing some speculations in his heart, Ma Gui said sideways.
"Taishi, if General Ben's memory is correct, there should be no evidence that the third lady is dead, right?"
Otherwise, I'm afraid that the banner of pulling Lik is not to find the third lady, but to avenge the third lady.
And one more point......
"Even if the third lady is dead, how can the Taishi be sure that the third lady was murdered by Tuo Lik?"
"How can there be no evidence?"
Kabi Yatu's face sank, and he gritted his teeth.
"As early as when he was the first to set up Pull Rick as Khan, the third lady once told me that Pull Rick will get rid of the two of us one day, and that Lin Dan is even more ill-intentioned, it is precisely because she noticed that something is wrong, the third lady will immediately make a decision, to Daming for help, before she left, she also specially told me, must be careful of Lin Dan and Rick, and when she came back from Daming, but never thought that since that day, she disappeared without a trace!"
After a pause, a sneer appeared on Kabi Yatu's face.
"Tuo Lik and Lin Dan thought they were smart, thinking that taking out that seal letter would make me believe that it was Da Ming who killed the three women, but they didn't know that the three ladies had already seen through their conspiracy, not to mention, the seal letter with the Ming Dynasty was the three ladies with them, so many years, the three ladies have been with them, never left for a moment, if it weren't for the three ladies who had died, she would never give this thing to others, and since Lin Dan got this thing, it is only possible that they have killed the three ladies to death!"
Looking at Kabi Yatu with a determined face, Ma Gui's heart couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat.
He didn't know if the third lady was killed by Lin Dan, but he knew the origin of the seal letter clearly......
Speaking of which, on that day, Pullik sent someone to negotiate peace in fear, and Ma Gui and Li Rusong got an idea from Liang Yong and went to ask Dayun.
Unexpectedly, Tayun told them a shocking news, and this news was about this seal.
This seal was not found from elsewhere, it was found from the Datong General Military Mansion, at that time this thing had been carefully put away, and put together with the general soldier's talisman, and Dayun also found this thing when he took over the general military mansion.
After discovering it, he felt that the matter was very important, so he suppressed all the news, and he didn't dare to take it out until Magui and the others arrived......
With this thing, Ma Gui went to test Liang Yong again, so Liang Gonggong inadvertently told him that the identities of several people in Datong City were quite suspicious, and they seemed to be the internal response of the enemy army.
So General Ma came up with a plan, and used the means to hand over the seal letter to an unwitting internal response, and then put the green light all the way, so that the seal letter arrived in Lin Dan's hands smoothly.
Sure enough, Lin Dan did not have any suspicions, and immediately took the seal letter to persuade Talik to continue the siege......
So in the final analysis, this matter is still with General Ma himself.
I don't know if this Kabi Yatu had known that this seal had flowed out of his own hands, and would have come to him to discuss peace.
I'm afraid it would be nice not to fight with him with a large army......
"Ahem, this matter is very important, but since the Taishi is so refreshing, this general will not be a child, as long as the Taishi can cooperate with the general, withdraw the army that comes to help, and help the general cut off the logistics route, this general can promise the Taishi on behalf of His Majesty, as long as Tumut is willing to bow down to the minister, Daming and Tumut are still peaceful!"
Although he was a little weak-hearted, Ma Gui also realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
No matter what the truth is, since Kabi Yatu is already so determined, then he might as well push the boat with his hands, the so-called soldier is treacherous, as long as he can win this battle, even if Kabi Yatu discovers the truth at that time, he will not be able to help him......
"Thank you, General!"
A hint of complexity flashed in Kabi Yatu's eyes, but he spoke.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Li Rusong, who was guarding outside, hurried in and said.
"General, it's not good, the military report from Liaodong!"
Looking at Li Rusong's eyes as heavy as water, Ma Gui felt bad in his heart, and hurriedly opened the military newspaper, and his face changed in an instant.
"This Yang Lian is just messing around!"
The military report is not long, it is obviously written in a hurry, and there is only one meaning in the first three words, the Horqin army is ready to withdraw from Liaodong and rush to Datong to support Tumut, the number is expected to exceed 10,000, please General Ma to prepare early.
After reading the military report, Ma Gui instantly realized the seriousness of the matter.
You must know that today's Datong has gathered the troops of Tumut and Chahar, and if you add the most fierce Horqin Department, it is equivalent to nearly half of the troops of the entire grassland have been gathered in Datong.
I'm afraid that even the current steppe co-lord Buyan Khan can't do this if he wants to, but he somehow does it.
In this way, the pressure on Datong will inevitably multiply, and now he only brings 100,000 infantry, how can he compete with the power of the three departments?
Not to mention the 10,000 cavalry that the Son of Heaven promised him, I don't know where it is, what is going on with this Yang Lian, it is just that he didn't smoothly branch the Horqin Department to the Chahar Department, how can he still lead it to Datong, it's just nonsense!
"Taishi, it seems that what Taishi promised this general should be done as soon as possible!"
However, Ma Gui is a veteran after all, and he quickly calmed down, he knew that the more he was at this time, the more he could not panic, and in front of him, there was an ally.
"Before sunrise today, General Ben hopes to be able to see the marching route sent by the Taishi, I wonder if the Taishi can do it?"
According to the military report, the Horqin Department is still in Liaodong, and it will take at least a few days to get here, as long as Magui's actions are fast enough, it may not be impossible to fight quickly.
"This ...... General, I can't help but be a little anxious before sunrise, don't hide it from the general, the army has just arrived with a batch of grain and grass, so I am not in a hurry, Pullik is very strict about the marching route, and I have to work hard to get it, so how about I give the general an answer within three days? ”
Kabi Yatu looked embarrassed and spoke.
He naturally could see that the situation of the Ming army had changed, you know, the reason why he came to sue for peace, on the one hand, was because of the three ladies, and on the other hand, he was also very afraid of the Ming army's weapons to defend the city, and felt that there was little hope of winning this battle, so he took the risk.
But now, the situation has obviously changed, so the attitude of this Master Tumut has naturally changed quietly......
Ma Gui was angry in his heart, knowing that it was he who had just blurted out the words that made Kabi Yatu sense that something was wrong, and while he was remorseful in his heart, he also had to calm down and laugh forcefully.
"In that case, the master can take care of himself!"
At this time, the more anxious he was, the more Kabi Yatu would see the clues, so even if he was anxious in his heart, he couldn't show it on his face.
"Then please wait for the good news!"
Kabi Yatu's face was calm, with a hint of inexplicable brilliance, and he turned around and wanted to leave.
But at this moment, there was another person outside, and Liang Yongliang, the commander of the East Factory, walked in unhurriedly, tilted his head and looked at Kabi Yatu, who was about to leave, took out a wax-sealed envelope from his sleeve, and said.
"General Ma, Your Majesty's Imperial Pen, please take the general's order!"
