Chapter 178: Casting a Killing Game for the Camp Step by Step (
In the middle of the night, when the night was dark, two black shadows shook into Ali Buge's tent, and the two carefully paced to the bed, and when they got closer, they stabbed the bed.
The two suddenly felt wrong, and one shouted: "It's not good, it's a trick." β
Immediately, the camp tent was illuminated by the torches outside, and ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, and the two of them were instantly filled with clusters of arrows.
Several soldiers dragged out the two mutilated corpses, and Ali Buge saw that one of the assassins was none other than his guard, Tujiru, who had been shot in the face but could still be clearly distinguished.
Seeing that the two assassins had been cleaned up, Asutai walked up to Ali Buge and said, "It seems that Hulunge is not lying. β
Ali Buge pointed to the corpse of one of the assassins and said, "Do you know who he is?"
Asutai looked closely: "Isn't this Tujilu, who has followed the Great Khan for many years?"
"Exactly. Brother Ali Bu said, he could already feel the situation of the fourth brother this time, not only sent a capable master, but even the guards who had been ambushed by his side for many years were also used, which shows that he has indeed been forced to be anxious.
At this time, a soldier came to report: "Great Khan, the person you want to investigate has found out that Hulunge is an orphan, has no family, is Kublai Khan's personal guard, at the end of March for plundering property was punished by Kublai Khan with a heavy rod, I heard that he now has a girl he likes, it seems that for some reason, he was sentenced to death by Kublai Khan." β
"Okay, I see, let's go down. Brother Ali Buge made a gesture to retreat, and he was basically sure in his heart that there was no problem with Hulunge.
The soldier said, "Yes." And he withdrew.
Immediately, Ali Buge ordered Asutai to say: "Cut off the heads of these four people, send a messenger to Kublai Khan's camp early tomorrow morning, and convey my intention to negotiate." β
"Then Hulunge will also be killed?" asked Asutai,
Brother Ali Buge paused for a moment, and finally coldly popped out of his mouth with the word 'Kill!'
Ah Sutai couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this killing word, knowing that this was a deception for Hulunge, but the king's temperament had already decided that Hulunge was destined not to live, so he silently left to carry out this order.
After tossing all night, Ali Buge looked tired and a little tired, so he lay down to rest, and after closing his eyes for a moment, Asutai hurried over,
"Great Khan, Great Khan!" Seeing that Ali Buge was already asleep, Asutai shouted loudly,
Brother Ali Buge opened the corners of his eyes slightly, and when he saw that it was Asutai, he asked, "What's the matter?" There seemed to be a bit of reproach in his tone.
"Hulunge said that he had important information in his hands, saying that it was a top-secret plan of Kublai Khan, and that the fate of the Great Khan was at stake!" replied.
Ali Buge stood up suddenly, "Top secret plan?" muttered,
"Take me to him!" Ali Buge then went to the prison.
Seeing Hulunge again, he didn't seem to have a weak and submissive posture, but he had some confidence, as if he had indeed pinched a life-saving card in his hand.
"You said you have a top-secret plan of Kublai Khan, what plan? Tell me quickly!" Ali Buge threatened,
Hulunge sneered: "You said that you won't kill me, but I changed my mind temporarily, this time I will definitely not be so stupid!"
"Do you want to say it?" Asutai grabbed Hulunge's neck and threatened, until Hulunge was a little out of breath.
Hulunge knew that Asutai was reminding himself that he was not qualified to bargain with Brother Ali, but after experiencing a change of life and death, Hulunge knew very well that Brother Ali's words were not reliable at all, and if he wanted to live, he needed to make him swear in the name of Immortality.
"Stop!" Ali Buge ordered Asutai,
Immediately, Asutai slowly let go of his hand, Hulunge coughed a few times, exhaled deeply, and said after calming down,
"It's okay if you want me to say it, but you have to swear to the Immortal Heaven that as long as I tell Kublai Khan's top-secret plan, you will let me go, and besides, I need a fast horse. β
Ali Buge knew that once he swore an oath, then he really couldn't kill him again, and in order to prevent being deceived, he questioned,
"How do I know if you are playing tricks on me, you are just a pawn, how can you know about Kublai Khan's top-secret plan?"
Hulunge admitted: "Yes, I am a pawn, but I am Kublai Khan's personal bodyguard, and if you want to find out about the top-secret plan, as long as you have a heart, it may not be difficult." β
"Then why did you betray Kublai Khan?" Ali Buge asked again,
"Betrayal hehe, this is not called betrayal, this is life-saving, when the girl I like was ruthlessly sentenced to death by him, I only knew that I had to save her, in order to save her, I was not afraid of anything, fortunately, God gave me such an opportunity, and inadvertently let me hear his conversation with the national teacher, heard this top-secret plan, originally I wanted to coerce Kublai Khan to release the girl I liked, however, he suddenly offered to give me a chance to atone for my sins, as long as I kill you, he will let her go, unfortunately, we all missed, but, I know, I can't die, I want to save her, as long as I have this top-secret plan, I still have a chance to rescue herγ Hulunge explained, his expression was a little dazed.
This is somewhat consistent with the fact that he sent someone to investigate, and what he said is also reasonable, but for Ali Buge, these can only be corroborated, not convincing, the key is to know the content of the top-secret plan, so that you can know the truth and falsehood.
Therefore, Ali Buge said excitedly: "I have said so much, but I still don't believe you very much, unless you can reveal something about this plan." β
Hulunge was taken aback, and naturally gained wisdom, looking at Ali Buge's cunning eyes, he said: "You can not believe me, anyway, I will be cheap, it's just that this plan is related to your fate, you can do it yourself!"
Ali Buge hated being threatened the most in his life, and although he was extremely angry in his heart, he would rather believe it than believe it in this matter, so he still tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and compromised,
"Well, I'll trust you. Then he swore sincerely: "I, Ali Buge, swear to Changshengtian that as long as Hulunge tells Kublai Khan's top-secret plan, I promise to spare his life, and if I violate this oath, I am willing to accept any punishment from Changshengtian!"
Seeing that Ali Buge had already sworn an oath, Hulunge's heart was completely down-to-earth, and he knew that under the verification of the Immortal Heaven, Ali Buge would never dare to break his word as the Khan of a country.
"Now you can tell this top-secret plan with peace of mind, right?" Ali Buge said with anger in his eyes and a stern tone,
Hulunge said truthfully: "Okay, I said, since Kublai Khan's grain and grass were burned, he knew that he had lost the confidence of the decisive battle, so he had already planned to retreat, but the back road to Kaiping had been intercepted by you, so they chose to withdraw to Kaiping in the direction of Dengzhou." β
"Dengzhou?" Ali Buge seemed to feel that something was wrong, and then asked Asutai to get the map, and the map marked that there was indeed a road in the direction of Helin to Dengzhou, but this road was clearly cut into two sections by the Broken Intestine Valley, and in the middle was a large canyon of several hundred meters, Ali Buge didn't understand why Kublai Khan chose such a desperate road, thought about it carefully, and then scolded angrily,
"You dare to fool me, this road has been cut off by the Valley of Broken Intestines, and there is a canyon of several hundred meters in the middle, don't tell me, Kublai Khan's army has wings and can fly over!"
Hulunge explained: "No, they have already repaired three chain bridges. β
"Impossible, where did they get the manpower?" Ali Buge couldn't believe that if he didn't have enough manpower, it would be impossible to build three chain bridges in a short time.
Hulunge reminded: "Don't forget that in the three days when it rained heavily, Kublai Khan's camp ran away with many deserters, do you think that there will really be so many deserters in Kublai Khan's camp? Do you think that Kublai Khan will really let the deserters go, this is just a trick, one of them is called Fa Sipa, is their national teacher, this person is familiar with astronomy and geography, extremely intelligent, he knows that there will be a heavy rain in the next few days, so he has long thought of a strategy to take advantage of the rain to use deserters to hide from the world." β
Ali Buge carefully recalled the situation of that day, remembering that Kublai Khan was disciplined in his army, and a large number of deserters appeared in a heavy rain, which was indeed suspicious, but he couldn't understand, wasn't Kublai Khan afraid that his own defense would be broken by himself because of the desertion?
He told Hulunge about this question, and Hulunge laughed and said, "Because, Kublai Khan knows very well, you will definitely not raise troops to attack while the rain is coming, because there is a person who will dissuade you in time and persuade you." β
Hulunge's words reminded him of a person, Zongzheng, who was the one who dissuaded him from braving the rain to attack Kublai Khan, as soon as he thought of this, his back was swishing cold, and his hatred for Zongzheng arose spontaneously, his fists clenched, and he secretly complained: "In vain, I trust you so much, I didn't expect you to betray me a long time ago." β
"Counting the time, Kublai Khan already knows the news of our assassination attempt at this moment, and I'm afraid he has already evacuated with his army at night, right?" Hulunge reminded,
I have to say that this plan is definitely worth believing, Ali Buge knows very well the significance of this plan, once Kublai Khan really returns to Kaiping along the chain bridge in the Broken Intestine Valley, then the original good situation will be reversed in an instant, and the fighter plane that finally appeared will disappear.
"When I send someone to investigate Kublai Khan's camp, if what you say is true, Ben Khan will naturally let you go. After Ali Buge finished speaking, he immediately ordered Ah Sutai to gather the masters of the Xian Pavilion and the heavy soldiers, and secretly surrounded the camp where Zongzheng and Zhu Yunshi were located.
After getting out of the prison, arrange for military detectives to go to Kublai Khan's camp to investigate carefully as soon as possible.
Subsequently, he ordered someone to secretly leak the news of Zongzheng's defeat to Zhu Yunshi, as far as Ali Buge is concerned, Zhu Yunshi rescued her in time today, indicating that she is loyal, so it is not ruled out that she is just bewitched by Zongzheng, so in order to test whether Zhu Yunshi is partnering with Zongzheng to deceive himself, he deliberately arranged a plan.
