Chapter 577: The teacher is famous
Under Amutai's narration, everyone finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
According to Amutai, after the defeat and capture of Tumaihan, the other four rulers except him wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to dethrone the Khan.
He repeatedly dissuaded, but the remaining four consuls were unmoved, and even fought for it!
Later, when these consuls secretly bribed the elders of the tribe and demanded that the next khan be elected from among them, the contradiction completely broke out.
The contradictions between several parties soon turned into wars, and in the end, only Wei Zhengsu and the two consuls of Amutai survived, and the remaining three consuls were either defeated and killed, or they died suddenly and violently!
Amutai took the opportunity to tell Yang Xuan and Tu Maihan the ins and outs of the matter, and splashed all the dirty water on Wei Zhengsu's body.
He claimed that everything he did was to maintain the supremacy of Tumaihan, and for this reason, he even did not hesitate to start a war with Wei Zheng, as if he was a lonely minister.
For everything Amutai said, whether it was Yang Xuan or Tumaihan, he didn't believe even a word.
And the reason why Yang Xuan still kept his life was because, in addition to buying horse bones, this Amutai also had other use value.
Based on Amutai's previous performances, Yang Xuan was sure that this was a very brazen and greedy person.
Yang Xuan has dealt with people like this too much and knows how to take what means to govern them.
After all, after the rebellion of the Chahar Department was completely quelled, Yang Xuan also needed this Amutai to balance Tumaihan and prevent him from turning his face and denying people.
After this, I saw Yang Xuan clear his throat, then looked at Amutai, and said in a deep voice.
"Amutai, now that General Ben has given you a chance to live, it's up to you to see if you can seize it!"
Yang Xuan's words, after being translated by a subordinate who knew Tatar on the side, quickly reached Amutai's ears word for word.
At this moment, Amutai, seeing that there is a chance to live, can he still put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance like before.
Because his hands and feet were tied with ropes and he was unable to move, Amutai immediately chose to kneel on the ground and swear his loyalty to Yang Xuan.
"I once heard that on your side of the Ming Kingdom, there is such a saying, called going to the soup and fighting the fire, and you should not give up!"
"Today, I, Amutai, borrow this sentence to show my loyalty to you, General, and I will be your most heartfelt servant, as well as a hyena!"
Tumaihan, who was on the side, witnessed all this throughout the whole process, and he was very disgusted with Amutai's behavior of waging his tail and begging for mercy in order to survive.
At the same time, he was also extremely annoyed that Amutai ignored his Great Khan, only to see him subconsciously clench his fists, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire.
"Hmph, Amutai, wait, you dare to ignore Ben Khan, and when Ben Khan returns to power, the first thing is to put you to death, so that you can forgive your sins for offending Ben Khan today!"
But right now, most of the attention of the people present is focused on Amutai, but no one has noticed the strangeness of Tumaihan.
Yang Xuan did not comment on Amutai's words, but looked at Tumaihan on the side, and then spoke.
"Amutai, the object of your allegiance is not me, it should be your supreme Great Khan!"
When Yang Xuan's words fell, everyone's eyes fell on Tumaihan on the side, Tumai rarely had this situation, and he had to temporarily suppress all the chaotic thoughts in his heart, so as not to let people see the flaws!
When Amutai heard Yang Xuan's words, an expression of hindsight suddenly appeared on his face, and he immediately said in a deep voice.
"Great Khan, my subordinates will definitely do their best to assist you, extinguish the rebellion among the tribes, and kill all the rebels who take advantage of this opportunity to commit rebellion!"
When Tumaihan heard this, a look of relief appeared on his face at the right time, and he immediately helped Amutai up from the ground and turned to speak.
"Well, among those consuls, Ben Khan values you the most, and Ben Khan originally planned to ......"
In this way, Tumaihan and Amutai, in front of Yang Xuan and many Ming troops present, staged a drama of the harmony of monarchs and ministers.
Soon, everyone agreed to do their best to completely eliminate Wei Zhengsu, a rebellious minister and thief who tried to deprive him of the throne.
And after that, the ropes that originally tied Amutai were also removed.
If Tumai had few other choices, he would never accept Amutai, a two-faced villain!
But the current situation is precisely that in the hands of his Tumaihan, there is no other military force except for a few guards who are responsible for protecting his safety.
The mission of his trip is to provide legal rationality for the next actions of the Ming army, after all, no matter what, he Tumaihan is also the current Zasaktu Khan, and is the supreme ruler of the Chahar Department of the left wing.
With him, many things will be much easier!
Tumaihan's plan was to take advantage of this opportunity to recruit some of the Tatar soldiers who had surrendered to the Ming army as an armed force loyal to his Great Khan under the pretext of expanding his guards.
Only with the army at hand can he Tumaihan be able to make his own voice, instead of acting as a puppet of the Ming army like now!
But this matter is easier said than done, Tumaihan knows very well in his heart that if he proposes this idea to Yang Xuan in person, although Yang Xuan will not say much on the surface, but secretly, he will definitely double his precautions, so he must find an appropriate time for this matter.
Just as Tumaihan was still racking his brains and thinking about what to do next, he saw Yang Xuan give instructions after glancing at Amutai and Tumaihan respectively.
"Since we have the same purpose, it is also excellent to have so much strength!"
Yang Xuan paused for a moment when he said this, and then added.
"In this way, those soldiers are still in command of Amutai!"
Yang Xuan's words, after being relayed by the translator, soon reached the ears of Amutai and Tumaihan.
After Amutai learned the news, his face was full of joy that he couldn't hide, and he saw him salute Yang Xuan quite solemnly and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, General!"
Yang Xuan took in the expression on Amutai's face, only to see him nod imperceptibly, and commanded.
"Without further ado, you might as well hurry over!"
When Yang Xuan said this, as if he suddenly remembered something, he glanced at Tumaihan on the side, and then added a sentence.
"By the way, Great Khan, there are only a few guards guarding you at present, and you can also take this opportunity to select some soldiers from among them to be responsible for your safety!"
When Tumaihan heard Yang Xuan's words, his face was full of disbelief, what he didn't expect was that what he dreamed of would be obtained so easily.
Because the whole process was too easy, Tumaihan felt that Yang Xuan was deliberately testing himself.
Tumaihan just wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, this was one of the few opportunities he could directly contact the army.
If you miss this time, you don't know when you will be able to get the next chance.
Therefore, after hesitating for a long time, Tumaihan finally had to grit his teeth and agree to Yang Xuan's proposal, and went with Amutai to collect the pawns.
After Tumaihan and Amutai left, I saw Yang Xuan summon a subordinate and commanded in a low voice.
"Follow them, if there is any situation, report to me immediately!"
"Yes, General!"
……
On the way to the prisoner, Amutai suddenly paused, turned around, and spoke to Tumaihan with an unusually calm face.
"By the way, Great Khan, there is one thing I forgot to explain to you."
When Tumaihan heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and looked at Amutai with a puzzled expression.
He couldn't understand why he had to say it at this time, you know, there were Ming Jun's eyes all around, and anything they said would be recorded.
Tumaihan couldn't guess what Amutai was planning for a while, but he saw that after looking Amutai up and down, he said slowly.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Seeing this, Amutai took in the expression on Tumaihan's face, sighed, and then turned to ask.
"Do you remember the claw diagram?"
When Tumaihan heard that Amutai mentioned the name of Paoertu, he was immediately furious, and his qi and blood surged upwards uncontrollably.
At this moment, the green tendons on his forehead were raised, his fists were clenched, and he looked at Amutai with a gaze that was about to be devoured, and asked in a deep voice.
"Amutai, what do you mean by that?"
When Amutai heard this, he sighed helplessly, and immediately explained.
"Great Khan, you misunderstood, this claw map joined Wei Zhengsu's side, and killed a lot of my brothers, it can be said that the reason why my Amutai has fallen to this point today is that this claw map has contributed a lot!"
When Amutai said the last few words, he couldn't help but clench his fists and grit his teeth, and his words were full of undisguised hatred for the person who was clawed.
After listening to Amutai's words, Tumaihan finally understood his intentions: "This Amutai is reaching an alliance with himself in disguise, in short, before completely destroying Wei Zhengsu and Clawtu, the two of them can be regarded as temporary allies!" ”
On the other side, when Amutai and Tumaihan came to the place where the Ming army was holding the soldiers, at this moment, the Tatar soldiers who had surrendered to the Ming army earlier were squatting or sitting with their heads down, and there was no longer much life in their eyes.
In order to prevent this group of soldiers from gathering and rioting, their original structure had been randomly disrupted, and they were divided into different places, and there was no communication between them.
If someone communicates privately, once discovered by the Ming army on guard, what awaits him is a merciless beating, and in order to completely ban this situation, the Ming army also encourages them to report to each other, and the whistleblower can be rewarded with a sumptuous meal.
Soon, when the first person came forward to report it, he got his wish for a hearty meal.
Since then, the Tatars have been in danger and have never dared to communicate with each other.
Soon, however, some of the soldiers recognized their leader, Amutai, and Tumaihan, who was following him.
At this moment, I saw an older man with a wrinkled face standing up, his face was full of disbelief, and he immediately lost his voice.
"Ah, chief, and ...... Sweat! ”
The old pawn's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of all the pawns present.
The Ming army, who was in charge of guarding on the side, saw that this group of soldiers was agitated, and even if he planned to step forward, he would teach them a lesson.
However, when the commander of the Ming army who followed Amutai and Tumaihan saw this situation, he stopped the movements of his soldiers with his eyes, and when he saw the commander speak, the Ming soldiers who were responsible for guarding this group of soldiers stopped stupidly.
Seeing this, Amutai immediately stepped aside and solemnly saluted Tumaihan: "Great Khan! ”
Tumaihan just glanced at Amutai lightly, nodded, and immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Ben Khan ......"
As night fell, in the tent of the Chinese army camp, Yang Xuan unhurriedly took the paper from the hands of his subordinates, and the content recorded on the paper was the conversation between Tumaihan and Amutai in the process of collecting the soldiers.
Their words, dictated by a translator who knew Tatar, were recorded on paper and handed over to Yang Xuan.
After Yang Xuan finished browsing the contents of the paper, he quickly threw it aside and chuckled.
"Heh, I actually reached an alliance through this means, not bad!"
"It's just, alas, the claw is ......"
Yang Xuan said this, and the figure of the claw map unconsciously appeared in his mind, it was he who fulfilled his promise and let go of the claw map, sparing his life.
And now, he wants to destroy it with his own hands on the battlefield, and for a while, Yang Xuan suddenly has a feeling of making people happy.
"Hmph, General Ben spared your life at the beginning, and now your life will be taken back by General Ben himself!"
Yang Xuan said this, and immediately walked out of the tent, raised his head, and looked at the stars twinkling in the night sky.
At this moment, Yang Xuan's heart was not the slightest bit confused, after all, right now, in the hands of the Ming army, he held the big killer of Tumaihan, as long as he was there, the Ming army was the one who firmly occupied the righteousness!
Let's ask how can you lose this battle under the condition that the division is famous and the strength is crushed?
……
On the other side, in the camp of Wei Zhengsu.
At this moment, Wei Zhengsu was sitting on the main seat, and on either side of him sat the generals he trusted, and the table was full of delicacies.
In recent days, in the battle with Amutai, Wei Zheng has won successive battles, and has also eliminated most of Amutai's living forces.
Next, he is just one step away from the sweat position!
As long as he takes this opportunity to start another decisive battle with Amutai, he can completely eliminate it, and at that time, he will become the most powerful person in the Chahar Department, and the position of the Great Khan is also easy to capture.
As soon as he thought of his situation after becoming a Great Khan, Wei Zhengsu felt extremely excited.
In his opinion, he alone was the one who led the Tatars to revival, the current Zasaktu Khan, too ignorant and arrogant.
At that time, after he inherits the throne of Khan, whether it is the Ming court or the Altan Khan of the Tumut Department, he will finally surrender to his feet!
Thinking of this, I saw Wei Zheng quickly raise his wine glass and said loudly.
"Raise your glasses and cheer for the victory to come!"
When Wei Zheng's words fell, many generals on both sides raised their wine glasses at the same time, looking fanatical.
Pao Ertu was also among those generals, but the position where he sat was the farthest away from Wei Zhengsu.
Since Yang Xuan spared his life earlier, he returned to the Chahar Department with the remnants of his troops, and took advantage of the situation to join Wei Zhengsu's command.
Because of his bravery in combat and his repeated achievements, he was quickly promoted and highly regarded by Wei Zheng.
But the arrival of the claw map also made those generals who originally followed Wei Zhengsu feel deeply threatened, and began to group together to exclude him intentionally or unintentionally.
Although Wei Zhengsu knew all this, he didn't take any measures, because those generals followed him all the way, and without their support, he would never be able to do where he is today.
There is no way, for the unity of the tribe, let's suffer again!
After a few glasses of wine, I saw Wei Zhengsu, who was sitting in the main seat, with a ruddy face, and began to discuss the next strategic deployment with many generals.
"Before this, Amutai won less and lost more in the battle with us, more than half of the veterans in the army were killed and wounded, and his strength was greatly reduced, I think it's time to make up my mind and completely eradicate him!"
When Wei Zhengsu said this, he looked in the direction where the claw map was located, and commanded in a deep voice.
"Early tomorrow morning, the army of Claw Ertu will take the lead!"
When Paw Ertu heard this, he had to get up from his seat and salute Wei Zheng quite solemnly.
"Do your bidding, Chief!"
Wei Zhengsu saw that Claw Ertu agreed so simply, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of indebtedness in his heart, after all, in the last few battles, Claw Ertu made the greatest contribution, but received not many rewards.
After this, I saw Wei Zheng quickly clear his throat, and then followed with words of comfort.
"Paw Ertu, don't worry, after I sit in the position of Great Khan, I will definitely not treat you badly, whether it is cattle and sheep, women, or countless wealth, how much you want!"
"Yes, Chief!"
