Tuluborot did not have the courage to fight Chen Xi to the death.

Even his admired father failed, and Susuha was obviously trapped in Chenxi before being killed. With the thousands of people at his hands, he hoped that he could rebuild a new tribe elsewhere. This kind of migration on the grassland was a common thing. If he fought with Chenxi to the end, it would be likely that the entire army would be wiped out.

After Turuborot and his generals explained his plan, he was also in a little embarrassed, because his subordinates did not seem to agree with the plan.

When Awulu entered the tent, Tuluborot did not notice it. When he realized that the woman had come to him, he found that the woman had come to him. The two guards stared at Awulu nervously, for fear that Awulu would assassinate him.

"You guys go back."

Tuluborot was not so defensive to Awulu. He waved his hand, and the two followers looked at each other, and then stepped down respectfully.

After the people left the tent, Awulu said disdainfully: "I dare not fight with Chen Xi, but I refuse to surrender... Tulu, you are really a maverick, worthy of being the son of Batumonk."

Although he was ridiculed by Awulu, Tuluborot was not angry and said with a smile: "At this moment, no one would choose to fight Chen Xi to the end... Now is not a good opportunity to fight the Ming army. Chen Xi brought elite soldiers and generals to station on the front line of Guanshan, with the purpose of chasing me and my father Khan. What reason do I have to go to the trap?"

"If you don't have the courage, you say you don't have the courage. Why do you make so many excuses for yourself? I said that as long as you are willing to surrender, Chen Xi will definitely accept your surrender for the sake of the overall situation, and you can also replace your father and become a great Khan on the grassland. What's wrong with this? Are you afraid of being framed by Chen Xi like Susuha, or are you afraid of fighting with your father in the future?" A Wulu raised multiple questions in succession.

Tuluborot's face turned dark in an instant, and he shook his head and said, "What choice should I make? You don't need to ask."

A Wulu sneered: "Watching you to die, if you do nothing, it will make me too unkind... You don't think about it. Where are their wives and children in this army from thousands of commanders to centurions to ordinary soldiers? Can you give up your women and children, are they willing?"

"My Awulu's son is likely to fall into Chen Xi's hands. If you want to escape, then let me go first and I want to go back to see my son."

Tuluborot stared at Awulu with a ferocious look: "Want to leave me? You are delusional!" Then he walked to Awulu, stretched out his hands, as if he wanted to use the bravery of a man to uniform a sinister woman.

But A Wulu did not act like crazy as before, and closed his eyes and said, "You are far from your father. When you encounter difficulties, the first thing you think of is escaping, which is really despised... Now I am afraid that your generals no longer regard you as a god. Even if you want to flee west, I am afraid that not many people are willing to go with you. Many people will betray and choose to join Chen Xi's camp... These people could have fought bravely with you and be loyal to you!"

Tuluborot's face became solemn, and his hand, which was raised in the air, was not put down for a long time.

A Wulu turned around and went out of the tent. "A real hero can judge the situation. If you don't even give up the minimum face, or don't want to take risks, then you will never be qualified to ascend to the position of Khan... Your father misjudged you. If he knew that you retreated in the end, what qualifications would you have to gain a foothold in front of him in the future? As the successor of the Golden Family, he is so cowardly, haha... Batumonk's son is just like this!"

A Wulu's sarcastic words were extremely sharp, but they could not change Tuluborot's determination.

Turuborot had made up his mind to flee west, and no one could stop him.

...

...

Just when Shenxi stationed troops in Guanshan and convened the surrounding grassland tribes to hold a meeting of the Khan tribe, the situation in Chenxi's army finally reached Yansui Town.

After Wang Qiong read the war report, he immediately informed Xie Qian of the situation. When Xie Qian heard that Chen Xi was still chasing the Tatars, his face suddenly felt angry.

"It took such a lot of trouble to kill a Tatar national guru? Where is Dayan Khan? And the sons of Batumonk? Don't he know the reason to stop when he sees it?"

Xie Qian's questions were not something that Wang Qiong could answer. After pondering for a while, Wang Qiong spoke and persuaded: "Don't worry, Master Xie. Judging from the information received by Shangshu Chen, the tribes on the grassland no longer have loyalty to Da Yan Khan. Now all parties are turning against each other and choosing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. This is really a blessing for the court."

"The meaning of Shangshu Chen is to re-establish the order of the grassland... The news sent back now can finally be confirmed that Shangshu Chen has successfully controlled the grassland situation, and the nine sides can guarantee peace in the next few decades!"

Xie Qian sighed with a long sigh: "What do you want to do when the Khan on his own destruction of the grassland? Is he doing his own thing? He has the qualifications? His Majesty has not decided on his side, so he decided so arbitrary, and he is not afraid that His Majesty will hold him accountable afterwards?"

Wang Qiong was speechless by a series of questions.

He was here to send good news to Xie Qian, but he was questioned one after another by the prime minister of the dynasty. Although Wang Qiong also understood that Xie Qian might not have gotten an accurate answer, or that he had already had an answer in his heart, he still felt awkward.

Wang Qiong said in his heart: "Why is Mr. Xie so excited when he mentioned Zhihou? It seems that Mr. Xie is still very concerned about Zhihou, but his expression is just a unique way of expression."

Seeing that Wang Qiong was not speaking, Xie Qian couldn't help but frown: "Dehua, do you know about this in Zhangjiakou?"

Wang Qiong shook his head: "I don't know if Your Majesty knows it for the time being, but judging from the current situation, Eunuch Zhang, the Chief Secretary of the Literature, has been deprived of his position, and no one dares to deceive the Shengshen... If Shangshu Chen can send someone to send a message to Zhangjiakou Castle in time, Your Majesty should know. I have sent someone to copy a copy of the news and send it to prevent the information on the grassland from being spread smoothly, and Your Majesty cannot know it in time."

Xie Qian sighed, "Who knew that this war, which had been planned for more than two years, finally developed to this point? It seems quite funny now. The arrogant heroes on the grassland have become so depressed. In order to please me, they actually cut off Susuha's head... And Da Yan Khan, who even ignored his own people and ran to Mobei alone. Haha, it's really ironic!"

Wang Qiong said: "Dayan Khan encountered a shameful failure. He was discouraged and only cared about escaping his life without caring about his family, which made people laugh at it."

Xie Qian gently twisted his beard under the jaw and looked at Wang Qiong, "You have listed the memorials in detail and submitted them to His Majesty? There should be no error in the statistics here?"

"Um."

Wang Qiong nodded confidently, "Please rest assured that the matter that should be reported to Your Majesty will be sent to Zhangjiakou Fort next time. However, the court does not seem to have the intention to ask for rewards on the merits. Maybe it is waiting for Secretary Chen to bring his troops back, for fear that the court's troops will change the merits into..."

Wang Qiong was embarrassed to say something.

Xie Qian nodded understandingly, then lowered his head, as if thinking about something, "Since Shen Zhihou is determined to act alone, he will bear all the credit or guilt. Don't pay attention. He is in the hinterland of the grassland and Guanshan is closer to Zhangjiakou Fort than us. If you have any questions, let him directly ask His Majesty. We only need to understand his advancement at any time and not interfere with it!"

"yes!"

Wang Qiong stood up and saluted respectfully.

This respectful attitude made Xie Qian feel a little uncomfortable.

Because Xie Qian did not want to dominate the trilateral military at this time, his previous series of measures have proved that they are wrong now. He feels ashamed of himself, so why do you think it is wrong?

But Wang Qiong praised him so highly that Xie Qian felt helpless!

...

...

Chen Xi's memorial was sent to Zhangjiakou Fort at the same time. Because the distance was closer, as Xie Qian said, he arrived first in Yansui.

No one dared to read the memorial first, and submitted it to Zhu Houzhao in its original form, and then opened it by a small twister, took out a thick stack of manuscripts and read it to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao rubbed his hands, like an impatient boy. After listening to Chen Xi's song for about a quarter of an hour, he jumped up and down with joy, and couldn't even close his mouth.

"Mr. Chen's words are clear and clear. He doesn't like to make the memorials so literary, simple and easy to understand, and to say things so wonderfully, I finally know what happened on the grassland." After listening to Chen Xi's memorials, Zhu Houzhao was very happy and looked at Concubine Li next to her happily.

In Shen Xi's commentary, he deliberately obscured some key points and did not admit that all the plans were designed in advance.

Chen Xi only explained the situation encountered on the grassland, including how to use Yongsebu tribe to kill Urus Borot, the second prince of Tatars, and Chen Xi withdrew troops and was trapped in Yuxi River. He did not attribute the fault to reinforcements and did not come to the position in time.

Chen Xi even blamed himself for spending time collecting ferries while crossing the Yellow River, and because he was unfamiliar with the grassland terrain, he took a detour, so he was finally caught up by the Tatars.

Chen Xi finally explained the three battles of Yuxi River one by one.

From beginning to end, Chen Xi did not put the blame on Zhu Houzhao, and even expressed his understanding that Yulin Guard did not send reinforcements, believing that when the Tatar cavalry attacked the Yansui frontier, sending reinforcements was equivalent to adding food to the Tatars. He said that he took the initiative to stabilize the position and then decided whether it was necessary to send reinforcements based on the battle situation.

In this way, Zhu Houzhao's guilt dropped to the lowest point.

Chen Xi had a very good grasp of Emperor Zhengde's mentality. He did not review the entire battle situation and excuse some people. At this time, Zhu Houzhao passed the initial cooling-off period. He was excited and felt that he had not made much mistakes in the whole thing.

Concubine Li and Zhu Houzhao listened to the content of Chen Xi's memorial together, and smiled and complimented: "Mr. Shen's ability is amazing. When he is besieged by so many Tatars, he can still rely on stable defense and fierce counterattack to win. I think it is rare since ancient times, right?"

Zhu Houzhao laughed: "In history, it seems that only Huo Qubing, Li Jing and other few people can go along with Mr. Chen, and Mr. Chen has something more skillful than them..."

Because Zhu Houzhao was very happy, even Xiao Zhuozi and Lifei couldn't help but laugh with her hands, although they might not really think it was funny.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Mr. Chen proposed to use barbarians to control barbarians. This is a good idea. If we win a battle and do nothing, then within twenty years, the Tartars will make a comeback. It is better to set up a khan court controlled by the Ming Dynasty. Even their khans must be enthroned by me to order the grassland, and then send people to supervise their behavior to prevent accidents!"

Concubine Li didn't think Chen Xi's proposal was good, but now she had to cater to Zhu Houzhao and stand on Shen Xi's side, so she had to smile: "Mr. Shen is far-sighted, and I think this plan is feasible."

Zhu Houzhao was very happy. Not only because he received the news from Chen Xi, but also because he finally untied his knot.

Even Chen Xi was guilty of his mistake in command and dispatch during his march, and attributed this victory to a desperate situation to survive. He believed that being trapped on the north bank of Yuxi River in disguise inspired the soldiers' fighting spirit and finally won the victory. It was a mistake.

In this way, Zhu Houzhao naturally felt that even if he did not recruit all the troops to come to Xuanfu, or led his own troops to the Yuxi River, he might not be able to achieve such a miraculous effect.

In fact, others have said these persuasion countless times. Whether it was Zhang Yuan, Xiao Taozi, Li Fei, or the minister who first proposed this proposal, he said more than Chen Xi, but because they were just analysis, Zhu Houzhao did not accept it. Only Chen Xi would fully trust what Chen Xi said.

After all, this war was dominated by Chen Xi. Even if Zhu Houzhao was the emperor and was in charge of the army, he was just an ordinary participant.

"Then follow what Mr. Chen said."

Zhu Houzhao readily agreed to Chen Xi's proposal, "But I cannot let Mr. Chen stay on the grassland for too long, and withdraw his troops earlier, and finally agreed on military merits... Let him bring the new Khan, and then I will be sanctioned to me, and I will stay in Zhangjiakou Fort waiting for them. After seeing Mr. Chen, I will be able to return to the court. This war can be said to be a complete victory."

Xiao Zhuozi smiled and complimented: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, under your wise leadership, we have finally won a decisive victory in this war and can be remembered in history."

Zhu Houzhao laughed: "Yes, it was my wise leader who had a great victory. Now everything can be relieved, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief, just waiting for the good news of Mr. Chen's triumphant success. However, if I could capture Batumonk and his son, I would be even happier... But I don't want to force others to do so. The Tatars were determined to escape and flee directly north into the desert and Gobi. It was indeed not easy to chase them."

Concubine Li said: "Since Lord Shen has such ability, I think he is now planning, and in the end he wants to capture the culprits such as Da Yan Khan back?"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand: "I won't guess Mr. Chen's idea. He has many ideas and most people can't guess it. Sometimes I have to admire Mr. Chen's military achievements. After all, I am just his student. All the follow-up matters of this war will be left to Mr. Chen for handling. Let the Chief Liberal Supervision and the Ministry of War quickly issue an edict to Mr. Chen, and let Mr. Chen handle it at his own discretion."

Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao is no longer interested in the subsequent situation of the war, and it is time to let go and indulge in food, drink, play and do not care about politics.

Zhu Houzhao was about to take Concubine Li to the backyard to enjoy her fun when she suddenly remembered something and said to Xiao Tiaozi: "By the way, I must remind Mr. Chen to come back early and not stay on the grassland for too long. The hot summer has passed, and the temperature in the north will drop rapidly after autumn. The soldiers in the army did not bring winter supplies, so it is best to turn back as soon as possible."

Concubine Li was wrapped around her slender waist by Zhu Houzhao, but she was a little awkward, but her face was full of smiles: "Can Mr. Shen take materials locally?"

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "My beloved, don't mess with me. Don't you think I'm still waiting for Mr. Chen at Zhangjiakou Fort? Mr. Chen should have come back early. Now it's time to ask for rewards based on merit. As for what to reward, I'd better wait for Mr. Chen to come back!"

"Yes, your Majesty!"

Xiao Guozi dared not disobey Zhu Houzhao's wishes and bowed to accept the order.

After Zhu Houzhao entered, Xiao Guozi hurried out. He wanted to meet Dai Yi and Gao Feng, two eunuchs who were wearing pens, and also met Lu Wan and others to convey the emperor's meaning.

...

...

Chen Xi hoped that Zhu Houzhao would make the military achievements one step earlier and give the reward so that the soldiers who followed him to fight the grassland would settle their minds.

However, Zhu Houzhao was not the kind of diligent emperor. He only needed to know that the Ming Dynasty had just won a brilliant victory, and now he was planning the destruction of the grassland Khan in the old place of Guanshanwei. He was not at fault in the previous series of military use, so that was enough. As for the matter of Chen Xi's request for merit and reward, he was thrown behind him in a blink of an eye.

This leads to a result. Even if the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites can first consult with merits, some things will naturally be delayed because the emperor neglects government affairs.

When Xiao Tuozi arrived at the army station of Zhangjiakou Fort, he informed Lu Wan, Wang Chang, Wang Shouren, Hu Lian and others of the news. Their faces all showed worry.

Xiao Tiaozi said, "Several lords, Your Majesty probably said this. The young man still has to go back to serve him, so he won't stay any more. You should discuss it first. If there is any emergency military information, you must pass it to Your Majesty as soon as possible."

Because Xiao Taozi was afraid that the military would intentionally block some news, he made a special reminder and told the people in front of him that if there was any situation, he should contact me and not tell others.

Lu Wan personally sent Xiaotiao to leave.
