The first thousand four hundred and seventy-six chapters: the disaster within the Xiaoqiang
After a nightgown, Ye Chunqiu was about to sleep for a while. When he was about to get up, he found that Batumonk was missing.
He took his entourage and left, leaving only these dozen cold tents.
Ye Chunqiu stroked his forehead and couldn't help but feel confused. He looked at the sky outside the camp and was stunned for a moment.
Tang Bohu rushed over and said, "Master, they left early in the morning. Batumonk... asked me to bring a word to theMaster."
Ye Chunqiu said: "After you said, what did he say?"
Tang Bohu said, "He told you to be careful..." As he said, Tang Bohu's expression became strange, and then said, "That's right, the only thing that the master should be careful about is that the disaster is caused by Xiao Wall."
The disaster broke out inside the Xiao Wall...
Thinking of this sentence, Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but remember the assassination he encountered when he left the seclusion, and what happened in Shunyi County not long ago...
Ye Chunqiu pursed his lips, his expression still remained calm. In fact, he knew very well that this warning had no substantial meaning.
"I understand, that's all?" Ye Chunqiu said lightly.
Here, Tang Bohu felt a little cold, so he tightened his clothes and said hesitantly: "It's gone, that's all, uh...he asked me to carefully consider his own...uh...dog head..." Tang Bohu's face was full of grievances: "It was said that the prince was defeated and he was going to chop my head. I didn't respond to him, he said I was born annoying."
"Haha..." Ye Chunqiu's calm face finally couldn't help laughing.
Tang Bohu looked even more aggrieved and said, "Even if I don't look good, is it still wrong? Besides, I'm not ugly, it's because he's blind!" After a pause, Tang Bohu said, "What did Batumonk say to his grandfather? He is very strange. Is it just for drinking and gossiping?"
Ye Chunqiu amused Tang Bohu's previous words, and then said, "No, since he is a fox on the grassland, how could he just come to drink and gossip."
Tang Bohu said blankly: "But...I thought..."
Ye Chunqiu smiled at Tang Bohu, turned around and patted Tang Bohu on the shoulder, and said, "This time he came, he is smarter than we imagined. He is leaving a way out for himself. No, to be precise, leaving a way out for the Tatars."
"Ah..." Tang Bohu's face changed slightly, and he said, "Is he... he here to negotiate peace?"
Ye Chunqiu shook his head and said, "He taught me how to rule the desert. Well, he taught three methods. This person is indeed a hero of a generation. He is good at using troops and thinks about defeat before he wants to win. He is determined to fight to the death, but he is also considering what will happen if he loses."
Tang Bohu was a little puzzled and said, "If you lose, you will lose. What else can you do?"
Ye Chunqiu smiled and shook his head, "If it is defeated, the desert will have no power to resist the Zhenguo Mansion. Then the Tatars will face two choices. One is a conqueror who is good at ruling the desert. The other possibility is a butcher. He hopes that I am the ruler and have the means to control the tribes of the desert. This is like a shepherd dog and a wolf. A wolf does not know how to rule and control, so what he can do is to eat up all the flocks. The shepherd dog is different because he knows how to control it, so he will control the tribes of the desert, convince them, and make them bow their heads and surrender, so that the flock can survive."
"So he told me how to control those people and know how to drink. I am competent and capable. If I can defeat Batumonk, it is enough to prove that everyone will be frightened in the desert at that time, but most importantly, it must be blood. This is why he asked how Qiqige was doing. He is a person who does not care about family affection for his rights. He probably may not be the one he cares about. When he asked, it was not because he had the affection of licking his calf, but because Qiqige was a piece of his future battle. If he was defeated, the golden bloodline that Qiqige had on him would have a role."
Speaking of this, Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but sigh, and then continued: "A cunning person is concerned about the life and death of their tribe. If a person puts his mind on this, he will no longer have emotions. The interests of the tribe are already above everything else."
Tang Bohu frowned. In fact, it was difficult for him to understand such a person. In his heart, Batumonk had only an indelible impression, that is, this man was a cruel butcher. The Tatars who unified Mongolia and brought great threats to the Ming Dynasty would never give anyone any good impression.
Ye Chunqiu's thoughts were a little complicated, but he understood that if he had talked too much to Tang Bohu, he probably might not understand, as an absolute literati, so he cheered up and said, "Okay, since they are all gone, let's go back too."
So Ye Chunqiu led his group back to Datong with a bit of complex mood.
The prefect was overjoyed when he saw Ye Chunqiu coming back safely. He finally relaxed after a night of anxiety, and then he wanted to invite Ye Chunqiu to the hall for wine.
Ye Chunqiu shook his head and refused. He had to rush back to the capital overnight to report. This time he went to see Batumonk. Although it was his Majesty's order, Ye Chunqiu understood very well that it really made some ministers suspicious. After all, this man was a major concern of the Ming Dynasty. If he stayed in Datong for too long, it would be inappropriate.
Ye Chunqiu did not forget Batumonk's warning. The disaster broke out in the Xiao Wall, compared to the simple and clear battle between the enemy and us, the battle between the court was surging and unpredictable, and should not be underestimated.
So, Ye Chunqiu took more than ten people back immediately and ordered people to drive overnight. Two days later, he arrived at the capital early in the morning.
The capital was still peaceful. Ye Chunqiu immediately entered the palace and asked someone to report to Zhu Houzhao. Then he went to the warm pavilion. Just as he was about to enter the warm pavilion, he saw several people just walked out of it.
These people were all old faces, but Ye Chunqiu was still a little surprised. The leader was the King of Zhou. In addition, even King Xing Zhu Youzhi was there. Several others were wearing python robes and a twelve-cicada-adjacent crown, and came out of the warm pavilion.
Ye Chunqiu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your princes, Chunqiu is polite."
The King of Zhou looked at Ye Chunqiu with a smile and said intimately: "Chunqiu has gone to Datong this time, and it is expected that he will make another great contribution."
Ye Chunqiu smiled faintly and hurriedly said, "I dare not, I have no credit for this time."
As he said that, he glanced at King Xing Zhu Youxie. The relationship between the two was tense, so Zhu Youxie, who met here, had not looked very good, but he had to smile awkwardly.
