Chapter 580: Each has a ghost
The battle between the two sides lasted until the afternoon, and finally ended with a complete victory for the Ming army and Wei Zheng's quick death in the chaos.
At this moment, the Ming army was busy cleaning up the battlefield, cutting off the enemy's head, collecting the corpses of his comrades, and the air was filled with the smell of blood, as well as the smell of burnt corpses.
Because Tumaihan, in the name of the Great Khan, promised to his soldiers under the command of Wei Zhengsu that he would pardon them for all their crimes.
Coupled with the Ming army's side, they were not afraid of death's attack, so those soldiers put down their weapons after a little resistance.
Before this, Wei Zhengsu had promised everyone more than once that when he became the Great Khan, he would give everyone a rich reward.
It is precisely because of this that those soldiers are desperate to follow Wei Zhengsu without fear of death, defeating one strong enemy after another.
But in any case, it was all based on the death of the current Zasaktu Khan, or the fact that he could never return from the Ming court, only then could he ascend to the throne of the Khan with great power.
And the current situation is that Tumaihan not only returned unscathed, but he also brought the Ming army to help him suppress the rebellion!
In this way, the two roads on which Wei Zhengsu could reasonably and legitimately become the Great Khan were blocked.
On the one hand, he is not an opponent of the Ming army, and on the other hand, Tumaihan, the current Zasaktu Khan, is still alive!
After all, no matter how you say it, he is also one of the five consuls appointed by Tumaihan himself, as long as Tumaihan does not die for a day, then there will always be a layer of monarch and minister relationship between them.
If you still obey Wei Zhengsu's orders and meet your own Great Khan soldiers, whether you can defeat those Ming troops is one thing.
On the other hand, anyone who dares to do so will be regarded as contempting the authority of the Great Khan, betraying the Chahar tribe, and being a veritable thief!
Like this part of the people, themselves, as well as their families and relatives, will be treated extremely harshly!
Let's ask, will anyone do such a very risky thing with no obvious benefits?
Because of this, when Tumaihan, in the name of the Great Khan, promised to the soldiers under the command of Wei Zhengsu that they would be pardoned for all their crimes, they wavered!
Instead of following Wei Zhengsu to fight for a future that doesn't exist at all, it is better to take this opportunity to change his mind and follow Da Khan wholeheartedly.
Anyway, there is a shortage of people under the command of the Great Khan now, so if you lean over early, you may be able to get a good position!
At this moment, Yang Xuan, who was in command of the Chinese army, finally learned about the casualties of the battle from the mouths of his subordinates.
"General, we have killed a total of 3,620 enemies, killed and wounded 662 people, and captured a total of 1,692 people!"
After listening to his subordinates' reports, Yang Xuan nodded imperceptibly, and then ordered.
"Well, General Chuanben's order, clear the battlefield as soon as possible!"
"Yes, General!"
After listening to Yang Xuan's order, the subordinate was about to leave, but immediately after, Yang Xuan seemed to suddenly remember something, stopped the subordinate and asked.
"By the way, who is in command of the more than 7,000 soldiers at present?"
Seeing this, the subordinate did not dare to slack off, and only after thinking about it for a long time did he respond.
"General Hui, those soldiers are currently commanded by Amutai and Tumaihan, the Great Khan!"
"Of the more than 7,000 surrendered soldiers, Amutai commanded more than 4,000 soldiers, and the remaining soldiers were commanded by Tumaihan."
After receiving this answer from his subordinate, Yang Xuan withdrew his gaze from his subordinate and commanded instead.
"General Ben knows, you go down and get busy!"
"Yes, General!"
After the subordinate left, I saw Yang choose one hand to support his chin and began to think about the next countermeasure.
Now that the task of assisting Tumaihan in suppressing the rebellion among the tribes has been successfully completed, the next thing to consider is how to mix some sand with Tumaihan.
At present, the total number of soldiers commanded by Amutai is more than 7,000, while the army in the hands of Tumaihan, who is the Great Khan, is less than half of Amutai.
Let's ask, how can this make Tumaihan feel at ease?
Yang Xuan knew that after Wei Zhengsu and Ja Ertu, the two common enemies of both sides, were eliminated, the extremely fragile alliance between them would soon be shattered due to the loss of balance.
In Yang Xuan's view, the contradictions between the two sides are irreconcilable.
On the one hand, Tumaihan will definitely be worried about this, after all, at present, this Amutai has 7,000 troops, which is more than twice as many as his own, what if he has ill intentions and seizes the opportunity to rebel in the future?
And Amutai is worried, when Tumaihan regains his sweat position and is full-fledged, he will liquidate himself, and in order to survive, he has to collect a large number of pawns, wanting to protect himself!
Although Amutai knew that doing so would arouse the suspicion of Tumaihan, he did so without hesitation, because he really couldn't believe Tumaihan's promise, and he wanted to take his fate firmly into his own hands.
And once the suspicion starts, it is like a snowball that is getting bigger and bigger, and it can never be stopped.
Tumaihan and Amutai are very convinced that the other party will attack him sooner or later, and before that, he must increase the chips in his hands as soon as possible.
But soon, they all thought of the same way———— that is, to rely on the strength of the Ming army!
Soon, Tumaihan took the lead in sending someone to find Yang Xuan and asked to talk to him alone.
For Tumaihan's request, Yang Xuan naturally had nothing to do, so without the slightest hesitation, he agreed to Tumaihan's request.
At this moment, in the main account of the Chinese army.
Yang Xuan looked at Tumaihan, who was looking frightened at this moment, and couldn't help but chuckle, and turned to ask.
"Great Khan, now that the rebellion in the tribe has been completely quelled, you are looking for General Ben, is there anything wrong?"
When Tumaihan heard Yang Xuan's words, after hesitating for a moment, he immediately chose to tell everything and everything, including but not limited to, Amutai's wolf ambition will become a big disaster in the future, so it is better to kill him while his wings are not yet full!
Yang Xuan had planned to use Amutai to balance Tumaihan, so how could he follow his wishes?
Therefore, Yang Xuan only prevaricated a few words and gave a guarantee, saying that the Ming army would not sit idly by at that time!
Seeing that Yang Xuan did not agree to his proposal, Tumaihan had no choice but to resign and leave.
On the other side, after learning the news that Tumaihan had secretly met with Yang Xuan, Amutai also found Yang Xuan in the middle of the night.
Yang Xuan looked at Amutai, who was standing in front of him with a frightened face, and an inexplicable smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Yang Xuan waved his hand, and after letting Amutai sit down on the vacant seat on the side, he quickly told everything and everything.
When Amutai learned from Yang Xuan that Tumaihan planned to kill him, he was immediately frightened.
At the same time, he also understood the purpose of telling these words to the Ming army general in front of him.
His purpose is to make him available to the Ming Court, to exist as a pawn to balance Tumaihan, and correspondingly, the Ming Court will ensure his life safety and glory!
Amutai didn't hesitate for long, and quickly agreed to Yang Xuan's proposal and swore his loyalty to him.
