Chapter 186: Driving the Tiger and Devouring the Wolf

On this day, the weather was clear, the blue sky was cloudless, and the bright and dazzling sunlight was sprinkled on the boundless water surface of the vast Luanhaizi in the north of the desert, which seemed sparkling. On the side of the endless camp of the Northern Yuan army, countless cattle, sheep and horses are happily enjoying the abundant water and grass under the drive of the herdsmen.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the camp, a group of Mongol knights suddenly galloped in. The leader was an old man in good spirits, with gray hair and armor, and everywhere he went, all the sergeants in the barracks stood solemnly on one side, and his demeanor showed great respect for the old man. It turned out that this Mongolian old man with a solemn expression was the Taiwei barbarian of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

The barbarian rode exquisitely, galloped to the big tent where he lived, pulled the reins, and the horse under his crotch roared lowly, and had stopped, only to see him turn over and dismount, step into the big tent, change his armor under the service of the waiter, and sit in front of the desk in a gorgeous costume and drink tea.

The barbarian stretched out his hand and rubbed his sore waist, but his face showed a happy expression, it turned out that these days, under his painstaking persuasion, the current Emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Togus Timur today actually led thousands of soldiers to hold a hunt for the first time, the barbarian saw that His Majesty the Emperor was very interested in hunting today, and was thinking about how to take this opportunity to persuade him to reorganize his army to deal with the Northern Expedition army commanded by Lan Yu of the Ming Dynasty. While he was thinking, a rather loud voice came from outside the big tent and said, "The last general, Highlanda, I have something important to ask to see Lord Taiwei. ”

The barbarian heard Highlander's voice, and after a moment's pause, he said in a deep voice, "Come in." ”

As the curtain of the tent was lifted, the armored Highlander strode into the tent, and after seeing that there was no one else in the tent, he bowed to the barbarian sitting upright and whispered: "Gui Lichi, Arutai, and Tuhuan have been summoned by His Majesty's will, and have led the men and horses to the outside of the camp of the army. ”

"Oh?" After hearing this, the barbarian groaned slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "Didn't Mahamu come?" How many men did they each bring? ”

Highlander said with a respectful expression: "Guilichi and Arutai each lead ten thousand tribal knights. After a brief pause, he continued: "Mahamu did not come, and his son Tohuan only brought a hundred guards. ”

Rao is barbarian is calm by nature, and he was also very surprised when he heard that he only brought a hundred followers, and sneered in his mouth: "This kid is really bold, he dared to come to our army of 200,000 with only a hundred men and horses." Speaking of this, he took a sip of the teacup, frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "You go and summon Guilichi and Arutai to meet me." Speaking of this, his wrinkled face suddenly showed a bit of murder, and he said coldly to Highlander: "You go and inform Lord Timur of Toyin first, and let him immediately lead a team of 50,000 people to prepare to meet the enemy, and you yourself lead a thousand soldiers to quietly ambush around my big tent, after the arrival of Gui Lichi and Arutai, if they do not know the current affairs and refuse to obey our military orders to attack with our army and attack the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty, they will immediately lead their men and horses to capture these two guys and hand them over to Your Majesty. Then Timur the Great led an army against 20,000 of their horses. East#Fang#Net .com"

Highlander bowed and took the order, then turned and walked quickly towards the outside of the tent.

"Wait." After the barbarian snorted, a pair of eyes swept over and turned to look at him, and Highlander, who looked stunned and puzzled, continued after his face sank: "Don't act too publicly, don't leak the news." ”

Highlanda nodded in understanding, turned and walked away from the tent.

It turned out that the Taiwei Barbarian and the Zhan Mansion in the Northern Yuan Dynasty were the same as Timur, and although the Zuo Prime Minister Harazhang controlled almost all the military power under the Northern Yuan Dynasty, several civil officials with real power such as the prefect pinched the cowardice and the Prime Minister lost the martyrdom won the trust of the emperor Togus Timur, and always restrained the barbarians and others in military and political affairs.

After a long time of incense, the tall, gloomy leader of the Qierjisi tribe, Gui Lichi, was already sitting cross-legged on the left side of the barbarian, and there was a chubby, smiling old man with a bit of a rich man on his right hand, who was naturally the leader of the Asut tribe, Arutai.

After Guili saw the waiters serving tea, he waved to the barbarian and drove him out of the tent, and there were only three of them left in the huge tent, so he turned around and arched his hand towards the barbarian, and asked softly: "I don't know what the Lord Taiwei called me to come, what are your orders?" ”

Although the smile on Alu's face has not changed, he is secretly suspicious in his heart, and he said: This time, the Emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty issued an order to summon me and other three tribal heads to come, and the tenth ** is for the Ming Dynasty Lanyu to lead the army to the Northern Expedition, but this barbarian summoned me and Gui Lichi to come to talk secretly, but he only missed the joy, I don't know what the old fox is for? It turned out that Gui Lichi, Arutai and Tuohuan father and son were intrigued, and they had long been eager to swallow each other's territory, but after all, they were all the heads of a clan, not stupid people, and they still had more than 200,000 troops to deter the Northern Yuan Dynasty of all tribes, but they had always advanced and retreated together.

The barbarian looked at Gui Lichi and Arutai who were staring at him, snorted lightly in his nose and then suddenly stretched out his hand on the table and patted it, feigning anger and said: "Your Majesty has always loved you and the other three tribes, and now Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty has gathered a large army in Daning, and may invade my Northern Yuan royal court at any time. Moreover, his son Tuhuan refused to lead the army, which is really hateful and hateful. "Gui Li Chi and Arutai led the army to come because of fear, for this point, the barbarian is naturally clear in his heart, but now to expose this point for him to divide the three tribes, drive the tiger and devour the wolf, get rid of the father and son of the family has no benefit, so he pretended not to know, but said that Gui Lichi and Arutai led the army to come as loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor, in order to appease his heart.

Guili saw that the barbarian was extremely angry with the father and son, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, but his face was still silent, waiting for the changes.

"Mahamu is old and mediocre, and Tuhuan is young and knowledgeable, and I hope that Lord Taiwei will say a few kind words in front of His Majesty, and punish Tuhuan as a warning." Arutai, avoiding the barbarian's aggressive gaze, said cautiously. He is an old and cunning man, although he has long been eager to annex the Oirat tribe, capture their men, women and children, and become slaves of the Asut tribe, but he also knows the truth of the cold lips and teeth, and intercedes with the father and son for the sake of happiness.

The barbarian knew very well that there was intrigue between the three clans, and seeing that Arutai actually pleaded for Dehuan's father and son at this time, although he was quite surprised, he still waved his hand to interrupt Arutai's words, and said categorically: "Captain Ben has already decided, when he faces the saint tomorrow, he advises His Majesty to immediately capture Tuhuan and behead the public, and send troops to eradicate the Oirat tribe." Speaking of this, after a slight pause, he looked at Gui Lichi and Arutai coldly, and continued in a deep voice: "If the two of you can lead the elite of the tribe to work together with our army to eradicate the Oirat tribe, Captain Ben will definitely implore Your Majesty to hand over the territory of the Oirat tribe to the two equally. ”

When Gui Lichi heard this, he secretly thought to himself: Just the 90,000 elite army left by the dead ghost of the Yuan Dynasty's fierce general Kuangkuo Timur, we and the three clans will definitely be invincible when they join forces. Thinking of this, he thought about it again, and remembered that although the territory occupied by the Oirat tribe was not very large, it was rich in water and grass, and his heart was also moved, thinking of this, he had already made up his mind, stood up and bowed to the barbarian, and said: "All the warriors of the Qiergis tribe are willing to honor the dispatch of Your Majesty and Lord Taiwei. ”

Seeing Gui Lichi speak like this, Arutai secretly scolded him for his short-sightedness and stupidity in his heart, but at this time, the situation forced him, he was also alone, knowing that if he refused the barbarian's request, he was afraid that he would not be able to leave the Northern Yuan royal court, so he didn't wait for the barbarian to speak again, so he immediately followed Gui Lichi to stand up, bowed down and smiled at the barbarian: "The Asut tribe is also willing to serve Your Majesty loyally, and respect the dispatch of Lord Taiwei." Saying this in his mouth, he scolded the eighteen generations of the barbarian's ancestors in his heart, and thought with hatred in his heart: Are you afraid that if the war with the Ming army is unfavorable, our three tribes will take advantage of the fire to rob, so we will strike first, get rid of the father and son, and divide their territory equally? How to divide it evenly? If you destroy the Oirat tribe, I'm afraid that you will use the territory of the Oirat tribe as bait to instigate me and Gui Lichi, a fool, to fight to the death. Although he was clear about the poisonous plan of the barbarians in his heart, he had no choice but to take one step at a time and adapt to the situation.

It turned out that at this time, although the Northern Yuan court still led the tribes of the grassland, but if the three tribes poured out, there were also seventy or eighty thousand elite knights, although it was difficult to compete with the army under the barbarians, but the strength was still not to be humiliated, and the barbarians had long intended to find an excuse to get rid of these three tribes and annex their tribal populations into the forces of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, which not only eliminated the troubles, but also strengthened the army.

Seeing that the leaders of these two tribes were all bowing down to their orders, the barbarian was very happy in his heart, and after a few words of comfort, he personally sent them out of the big tent.

Seeing the backs of Gui Lichi and Arutai in the distance, the barbarian beckoned to call Highlander in the distance of the big tent.

"I wonder how these two guys replied to Lord Taiwei?" Highlander asked in a low voice as she came to the brute's side. 、

The barbarian sneered and asked in a low voice, "Do these two guys have a choice?" I asked Lord Tongzhi of the Zhan Mansion to lead the army to fight just in case, so you go and ask Lord Tongzhi to lead the army back to the camp. Speaking of this, after a slight pause, he reached out and patted Highlander's shoulder, the cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "The guards who guard Your Majesty's Golden Horde are all your subordinates, tomorrow only waiting for Your Majesty's will, you will immediately lead people to capture and kill the Oirat tribe's Tuhuan and his guards, so as to kill them all, and not let anyone go." ”

Highlander nodded, bowed and said, "The last general will naturally act in accordance with His Majesty's will. ”

Night gradually fell on the grassland, and among the continuous military camps, a huge tent stood. Before the big tent, a team of Northern Yuan soldiers staggered patrol, the torch in their hands shone on the tent and reflected a trace of golden light, it turned out that this big tent was made of countless high-grade cowhide sewn with gold wire, which was the golden tent of His Majesty the Emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Inside the Golden Horde, there were more than 20 guards on both sides of the gorgeous carpet, but they still looked extremely empty.

On the carved gold and jade dragon chair, a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a dragon robe, with a slightly tired face, glanced at the two gorgeously dressed Northern Yuan high-ranking officials on the left with a cold gaze, and was silent. It was the Northern Yuan Emperor Togus Timur.

I saw that the two high-ranking officials of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were wearing civilian official clothes. Slightly shorter, with a slight fear on his face, it was the prefect who was timid, and on his right, closer to His Majesty the Emperor, the tall and thin old man with a white face, a slightly curly beard and hair, and a thin figure was the Prime Minister.

The emperor who squinted at the gloomy face was timid, and he was uneasy in his heart, and vaguely guessed in his heart that the concubine who was favored by His Majesty the Emperor was instigated by the barbarians and other opponents, and blew the pillow wind on the emperor again, and said something unfavorable to himself and the prime minister.

Togus Timur was hunting with his ministers today, and his mood was originally very happy, and he heard from Concubine Shu that the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang had sent out the Northern Expedition army, and he couldn't tell when he would wave his army north, and he was quite frightened in his heart, so he naturally wouldn't be happy. It turned out that he had never taken care of political affairs, and rarely convened the ministers to discuss military and political affairs, in order to save worry, many things were handed over to the Taiwei barbarian and the prime minister to discuss and do, until today I knew that the Ming army was already under the command of a guy named Lan Yu, ready to deal with himself, thinking of the last time the martyrdom and the cowardice to oppose the barbarian personally led an army of 50,000 to reinforce Liaodong Nahachu, I couldn't help but be very angry with these two cronies of the Wenchen.

The Lost Martyr Gate has been with the emperor since he was a teenager, and he knows his temper well, and without waiting for the emperor to say anything about his guilt, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Weichen was careless for a while, and made a big mistake, please send a decree to punish him." ”

When he saw the martyrdom, he automatically pleaded guilty, that is, he knelt on the ground and echoed it.

"What's your sin?" Tocus Timur saw that they automatically pleaded guilty, and although his face was still ugly, the anger in his heart disappeared unconsciously.

Lost Liemen raised his head and glanced at the emperor not far away, then lowered his head and said slowly: "When the former Ming Dynasty emperor Zhu Yuanzhang sent Feng Sheng and Fu Youde to invade Liaodong. The guilty minister thought that Nahachu was a descendant of the famous general Mu Huali under Genghis Khan, and when he was young, he fought with Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang, and he could be called a good soldier, after all, there were still more than 200,000 soldiers under his command, and he hoped that after he and the Ming army were defeated, he would lead the army and people under his command to sincerely attach themselves to His Majesty, but he actually surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty......"

When Togus Timur heard what the Martyrs Gate said to make Nahachu lead his soldiers and civilians to attach to him, he couldn't help but be even more annoyed, but this anger was no longer aimed at the Liemen and cowardice, but for Nahachu who led the army to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. It turned out that Nahachu used to hold heavy troops in Liaodong, although it played a vital role in containing the Ming Dynasty, but the so-called generals were outside, and the monarch's order was not affected. As the orthodox emperor of the golden family of the Yuan Dynasty, Togus Timur hated this self-respecting Nahachu no less than the Ming Dynasty emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.
