Chapter 457: Punishment
As night falls, the train slowly stops.
A man dressed as an official hurriedly got off the train, showed the official document of the military department, and the staff on the platform did not dare to slack off, and immediately led people to the special passage, where there were prepared horses, similar to a post station with an urgent six hundred miles.
When the guards at the city gate saw the flag behind this person, they didn't even ask, and opened the city gate directly to let him go.
Commanding the yamen, Cao Nai was just about to fall asleep, but he heard someone shouting outside.
"The Ministry of War is urgent, may I ask where is Duke Cao and Gong Zhang?"
When Cao Nai heard the emergency report from the Ministry of War, he immediately pulled his shoes and pushed the door out.
"Is it Tingyi's recital?"
"Exactly, Yu Shangshu and Juluhou jointly reported it, please take a look at it!"
At this time, Zhang Yi, Kuang Yu and others also rushed over when they heard the sound, and stared closely at the report in Cao Nai's hand.
This time, the army went out, both in terms of troops and equipment, and it had already formed a crushing trend.
According to common sense, this battle should be pushed all the way through, and the remnants of the Tatars should be killed.
At this time, an urgent report was sent, which was somewhat abnormal, indicating that something must have happened.
And, by no means a good thing.
After Cao Nai opened it, he hurriedly swept it over, and then handed it to Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi took the report and frowned: "What are you doing without spending money?" β
Kuang Yu couldn't help it, grabbed it, and after reading it, his face changed when he saw it.
"Could it be that the unidentified cavalry is the remnants of the Tatars?"
Cao Nai nodded solemnly and said, "According to Tingyi and Juluhou, in addition to the Tatars, there are also the Japanese and the Jurchens, they are prepared!" β
Kuang Yu was so angry that his beard exploded, and said: "This group of bitches dared to sneak into my Ming territory, who gave them the guts?" β
After a moment of silence, Zhang Yi suddenly said, "Either they are crazy, or ...... There is an internal response! β
Everyone's faces turned ugly, and the scene fell silent again.
The people present are all elders in high positions, and they can figure out the joints with just a little thought.
It's not a fool, he has endured in the bitter cold land of the extreme north for many years, but today he suddenly rushed forward and broke into the hinterland of Daming, there is only one reason, he is ready to fight to the death!
Since he has gambled all his net worth and life, it is impossible for him to come to die.
They were able to break through the line of the River of Trouble, and they were able to get their horses, and there were signs that someone was answering them.
Kuang Yu raised his head and said, "Without further ado, immediately send troops to encircle and suppress!" β
Cao Nai and Zhang Yi nodded, and then instructed Wu Heng, the right attendant of the military department: "You go back to the Beijing division now and transfer the Beijing camp out of the customs!" β
Wu Heng's face was a little ugly, and he said: "The emperor is not here, and he ...... transfer troops without authorization."
Kuang Yu was in a hurry, and immediately scolded: "It's all this time, why are you still abiding by those rules?" The transfer of the Beijing camp out of the customs is to protect the emperor, what is the matter, the old man is on top! β
Although he is no longer the secretary of the Ministry of War, many officials of the Ministry of War are from his disciples, including the current Secretary of the Ministry of War, Yu Qian, strictly speaking, he can be regarded as his protΓ©gΓ©.
Wu Heng didn't dare to refuse, but he was still a little hesitant.
"It's better to do this, please Cao Gong Zhang Gong and his humble post to return to Beijing together."
Transferring troops without authorization is a big deal, and if you don't get it right, you will be punished by the nine clans, if the two elders of the cabinet go back, things will be much easier.
Zhang Yi said: "I'll go back, Cao Gong will stay!" β
Cao Nai nodded and said, "There is labor!" β
At that moment, Zhang Yi and Wu Heng took a fast horse and rushed back to Beijing overnight.
Cao Nai and Kuang Yu stayed in Orkhon City, because the emperor disappeared here, and the enemy's target was also here.
Gula rushed to hear the news and asked about the situation, and his emotions seemed a little excited.
"It must be that Qi Qike wants to avenge him first, so he colluded with Tokoff and didn't spend it, intending to rebel!"
Cao Nai and Kuang Wei nodded together and said, "This makes sense, otherwise, just two thousand people going deep into the hinterland of the desert is no different from sending them to death." β
Gula clenched his fists: "The two adults, the humble proposal, immediately behead Qiqi Ke to show the public, completely cut off the internal response of the detachment, and at the same time, it can also deter the small people!" β
Cao Nai frowned, so far, Qi Qike's collusion with foreign enemies is a certainty, and he should be killed, but where is the emperor?
If it was really Qi Qike who hid the emperor and killed her, would the emperor be in danger?
Kuang Yu understood his worries and said: "It's better to try the trial overnight, if she can hand over the emperor, you can consider sparing her life." β
Hearing this, Gula changed his expression and said, "Two adults, now that the enemy is present, you must not be benevolent!" β
Cao Nai said: "However, the whereabouts of the emperor are still unknown......
"The lowly will dig three feet into the ground for the entire Mobei Wei, and he will definitely be able to find the emperor!"
Cao Nai stopped talking, but looked at Kuang.
Kuang Yu pondered for a long time, and then said: "So far, we have no conclusive evidence of the Qiqi Ketong thief, in case there is another hidden ...... in this matter."
"What more evidence?"
Gula looked anxious and said, "Everything is already obvious, if there is no one to answer it, how can you enter the desert smoothly?" Moreover, the direction they are traveling in Orkhon City, where is there such a coincidence in the world? β
Seeing that Cao Nai and Kuang Yu were still hesitating, Gula looked awe-inspiring and said, "Don't hide it from the two adults, over the years, Qi Qike has used his command to facilitate the convenience of smuggling a large amount of materials from the Central Plains, and even has trade contacts with the Rakshasas. β
"What did you say?"
Cao Nai's face was gloomy, although there was no large-scale conflict between the Rakshasa people and the Ming Dynasty, but over the years, they had been ready to move.
What is certain is that the Rakshasas are friend or foe.
Qi Qike actually smuggled materials with the Rakshasas, isn't it a disguised enemy?
"If there is such a thing, why don't you play the court?"
Gula showed an embarrassed expression and said: "The lowly person is soft-spoken, and besides, Qiqi Ke does everything well, it is difficult to catch her handle, even if the lowly job is risked to die, I am afraid that she will find a way to suppress her." β
Cao Nai knew that Qi Qike was not simple, and he had a lot of means, so he didn't think much about Gula's words, so he said: "If she really fornicates with the Rakshasas, she can be punished!" β
Gula 's eyes lit up, and he said: "Qiqike also smuggled a large amount of alcohol not long ago, which was sold to the Rakshasas, and there is evidence of his despicability!" β
"How many?"
"Roughly 30,000 catties!"
"How unreasonable!"
Cao Nai looked at Kuang Yu and said, "This person can't stay!" β
Kuang Yu nodded and said: "Gula, you go to rectify the people and horses, and set off tomorrow, you must stop Tokhon Buhua, don't let them get close to Orkhon City, and before leaving, kill Qiqike in front of the battle to boost morale!" β
Gula clenched his fists: "Obey the order!" β
