Chapter 166 The unlucky scapegoat
It’s another time when the sun sets and the sky is filled with colorful clouds.
Zhu Zaijing moved his body and looked at the vast grassland scenery outside the Gubeikou Great Wall, and said with emotion: "I never expected that such a unique place could be seen so close to the capital. It’s no wonder that the imperial court from ancient times to the present has built the Great Wall on this line. Beyond this line is the grassland where there is insufficient rain to support crops.”
Huang Jin and Teng Xiang followed Zhu Zaijing. Behind them, they were also looking at the scenery in the distance. This was also the first time for the two of them to see the scenery of the grasslands outside the Great Wall of the Capital. It was indeed a different experience.
Especially the vast and endless feeling of connecting the sky and the earth, which gives people a vague sense of the vastness of the loneliness of the world.
Zhu Zaijing looked at the scenery for a while, then suddenly laughed at Huang Jin, "My father-in-law turned out to be so brave, which surprised me greatly. Your Majesty is so lucky to have such a master as my father-in-law to protect you."
< br> Huang Jin couldn't help but reveal an excited smile when he heard Zhu Zaijing praising him for his bravery, "The commander is so complimentary. I don't know why this happened. Maybe I was inspired by the commander's courage." , That’s why he is so brave.”
Zhu Zaijing laughed again, “My father-in-law is so humble. My father-in-law has such a brave spirit. It must be due to my father-in-law’s long-term training, in addition to his luck. , other abilities are nothing. This is His Majesty’s great blessing.”
Zhu Zaijing finally put the credit on Emperor Jiajing. Zhu Zaijing knew his position very well. Even if some of the credit is earned by oneself, it must be emphasized that it is the role of leadership, otherwise this path will definitely not go far.
Especially for the dangerous relationship between emperor and son, which can replace each other, one must be extremely careful. Zhu Zaijing did not want to set a new record of father being suspicious of his son in the Ming Dynasty where the father was kind and the son was filial.
You must know that throughout the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, there were sixteen generations of emperors, and no emperor ever killed his own son because of the struggle for power.
Now that Zhu Zaijing has made such a big noise, he cannot truly understand Emperor Jiajing's true feelings towards his children, so he should be cautious.
What if this old boy becomes obsessed with cultivating immortals and demons, and even loses his humanity? Then wouldn’t his situation be in danger?
Although what I am doing now is for the country, the fact that the prince is in charge of the army is an original sin that cannot be forgiven, and this original sin has become even more serious after the death of Prince Zhuang Jing. conspicuous.
So the more critical the moment, the less Zhu Zaijing can take the lead. He can only become more cautious and cautious, so that he can return to transparency and become harmless to humans and animals.
Otherwise, God knows whether the jealousy and sense of crisis that arose in the emperor's heart would kill him.
"Okay, let's go back. This night is also a rare night for us to sleep well. I don't know how I feel at this moment."
Zhu Zaijing again I glanced at the scenery in the distance, and finally suddenly thought of An Da's mood again.
After hearing Zhu Zaijing’s words, Huang Jin and Teng Xiang couldn’t help but smile cheerfully on their faces and burst into laughter.
Obviously, both of them had the same prediction about An Da's current mood. They both thought that An Da would be "surprised" at this moment.
In fact, Nanda's mood this time was indeed extremely "surprised". He screamed in "surprise" and looked crazy like a going crazy prairie wolf.
"It's too much to bully others! It's too much to bully others! I must pay with blood!"
After Ida returned to the Shixia Camp, he looked at the messy Shixia Camp. , his heart was bleeding, and his whole person fell into madness.
He was extremely angry and blamed himself. If he could retain some sense before leaving the camp, and not be blinded by the hatred in front of him, leaving ten or twenty thousand people to guard the camp, Nor will we encounter such a disaster.
At the same time, An Da was also very shocked. He really couldn't understand the thoughts of the Ming army who attacked his rear camp. Could it be that they really had no plan at all, and they were really sure that their rear camp was an army with few troops? Empty camp?
This is really terrible. If it were him, if he didn't have a sufficient number of troops to back him up, and with such a large camp in front of him, he would hesitate to rush directly to the camp.
Because Anda knew very well that if the charge to the camp failed and the hidden troops in the camp exceeded the strength of our own sneak attack, the consequences would be no joke.
But the Ming army that sneaked into his rear camp seemed to have done it without any hesitation. At this moment, Nada couldn't help but feel shaken in his heart. Could it be that someone really appeared on his side? Were the traitors tipped off?
Who could be such a traitor?
Just when Ananda was thinking about this problem with a face as deep as water, Ananda's good righteous son came to his senses and said, "Great Khan, the casualties in the camp have been counted. All the tents were burned down, and the cattle and sheep accompanying the army were scattered around. There are nearly five thousand dead and wounded soldiers in the camp."
Tuotuo hesitated.
Ada looked at Tuotuo's hesitant expression and asked, "What else is there?"
Tuotuo replied: "Guruge has also been found, and his head is missing. And Fei’s body was found at the edge of the camp two hundred steps away from his tent.”
After hearing the news of Guruge’s death, Zanda seemed to have aged several years in an instant. , he originally thought that the worst outcome would be to be captured. At worst, he would have to bargain with the Ming Dynasty to exchange the price for Guruge.
But he never expected that Guruge would die, and even his head would be missing. It is understandable that this would be a huge blow to An Da.
"Take me to see."
Ida took a deep breath and tried hard to control his emotions. He wanted to take a last look at his son in person.
Tuotuo stopped him quickly, worried that An Da would not be able to bear the blow of losing his son. Tuotuo said repeatedly: "The Great Khan has a more important thing!"
I Da stopped and stared at Tuotuo with red eyes hiding tears, "What else is going on?!"
Tuotuo said quickly: "Yingke didn't find it. I suspect that we fell into Yingke's trick. His joining the Great Khan was already planned from the beginning. Otherwise, we wouldn't attack from the pigeon hole. No If we attack Pigeon Cave, we will not pass through Huangyugou. If we do not pass through Huangyugou, we will not be plotted by the Ming army."
"So, I suspect that all the crises we are encountering now are because of it. Due to Yingke's betrayal, the Duoyan tribe has not sincerely surrendered to our Tumut tribe! They are still the same traitors as before, betraying the glory of Genghis Khan and willing to be the lackeys of the Ming Dynasty!"
Tuo Tuo's words! It turned out that whether it was Nanda himself or the other leaders and generals around Nanda, they all invariably placed their hatred on Yingke and his Duoyan tribe.
At this moment, they all wanted to kill Ying Ke, destroy the Duoyan tribe, and avenge the dead warriors of the tribe!
Ada's breathing became heavy involuntarily. Tuotuo's words made sense. It seemed that he had stepped into Yingke's trap from the beginning. Now that he thought about it, it seemed that Yingke was ambushed in Huangyugou. The bitter plan.
He rushed forward with the Duoyan cavalry. Although there were many casualties, he did not suffer much damage. Instead, he stayed in the Shixia camp as a wounded person.
Now that I think about it, Yingke does look a lot like the traitor who betrayed them, otherwise the subsequent questions would be impossible to explain at all.
"This Khan will destroy Duoyan! This Khan will kill all their men and turn their women and children into slaves. Only then will the hatred in my heart be eliminated!"
I As soon as Da made such hateful remarks, the other tribal leaders and generals around him responded excitedly, as if they could really make up for their losses and soothe the wounds in their hearts by massacring and annihilating the Duoyan tribe.
Under such circumstances, it is foreseeable how miserable the fate of Duoyanbu will be in the near future.
This shows how dark the future of the unlucky Yingke, who has been captured, will be. Such a heavy blame is placed on his head inexplicably. What an unlucky child.
