Chapter 232: The inside of the pot is willing to surrender, spare my life! 】
Yang Yiqing nodded slightly and said: "This is a very good move. I just want to hide it from Hulibu, or lower Hulibu's vigilance. I'm afraid it will require the core personnel of the Tang family to come forward."
As he spoke, Yang Yiqing couldn't help but glance at Li Huan. Now it can be said that the entire Tang family has been captured by the Jin Yiwei, and even their relatives have been imprisoned.
According to Li Huan's wishes, as long as the interrogation is completed, the Tang family members should be killed. You must know that Li Huan is an imperial envoy and has the right to kill first and report later.
Now Li Huan obviously needs the cooperation of the Tang family, especially if he can get in touch with the Tatars and gain their trust. Only a few core elders of the Tang family have such qualifications.
Li Huan made it clear that he wanted to destroy the Tang family. In this case, although Yang Yiqing said that he thought Li Huan's idea was good, he was not very optimistic that Li Huan could persuade the core people of the Tang family to cooperate with them to deal with the Tatars.
people.
Li Huan obviously understood what Yang Yiqing meant.
Smiling slightly, Li Huan said calmly: "Among the Tang clan, not all of them are extremely conscientious people. There are still a very few people who retain a trace of conscience. Although they all deserve to be killed,
But it’s not necessarily impossible to persuade the other party.”
The person Li Huan was talking about was none other than the ninth master of the Tang family, whom Tang named.
According to what Yue Buqun and Han Le said, Tang Dingwei should be regarded as the one with the most bottom line and conscience among the core elders of the Tang family. The more important point is that although Tang Dingwei is said to be Tang Ding,
The core of the family, but only because of his direct lineage, his own abilities are very average, and he has no independent opinions. He often does what others say. Even if he has opinions on some of the actions of the Tang family, he rarely
I will persist in my opposition.
What Li Huan was thinking about was whether he could persuade the ninth master of the Tang family to cooperate with them.
Yang Yiqing stroked his beard and nodded slowly: "If we can really persuade a core elder of the Tang family to cooperate, I can be eighty-nine percent sure of this action against the Huli."
Not long after, I saw someone being brought over.
The person who came was none other than the ninth master of the Tang family, Tang Dingwei.
Tang Dingwei looked extremely embarrassed at this time. He was wearing a prison uniform and his hair was messy. However, he only looked a little embarrassed and did not suffer any injuries.
When Li Huan saw this, he glanced at Tang Dingwei in surprise, but Yue Buqun on the side explained: "Sir, after Tang Dingwei was arrested, he was very cooperative in explaining everything."
When Li Huan heard this, he immediately understood that the relationship was because Tang Dingwei cooperated very well with Jin Yiwei's interrogation.
The purpose of Jin Yiwei's torture on people is to interrogate and obtain useful information. If the interrogation subject is very cooperative, then there is no need to torture, right?
Tang Dingwei's face was full of dejection. He walked into the hall and saw Li Huan and Yang Yiqing. He stepped forward and bowed to them and said: "Tang Dingwei, the sinner, pays homage to the imperial envoy and the governor."
.”
Li Huan looked down at Tang Dingwei from a high position, and said with a bit of coldness in his eyes: "Tang Dingwei, what you Tang Dingwei did is completely unconscionable. Do you know your guilt?"
Tang Dingwei sighed softly and said: "The sinners know their sins. The sinners have known for a long time that what the Tang family has done in recent years will sooner or later bring disaster to the Tang family. However, the clan brothers and family heads simply do not listen."
My persuasion, now that Mr. Tang has ended up like this, he deserves it..."
As he spoke, Tang Dingwei sighed: "It's a pity that our Tang clan in Suide has come to an end."
Yang Yiqing couldn't help but glance at Tang Dingwei in surprise, as if he didn't expect Tang Dingwei to say such words.
But it’s normal to think about it. The Tang family has a great business and has at least hundreds of members. It’s obviously impossible to say that everyone is a heartless person. So it’s really not a big deal for Chu Tang to be such a person.
Strange things.
Li Huan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, looked at Tang Dingwei and said suddenly: "Tang Dingwei, you also know that the Tang family colluded with the Tatars to rob the imperial government's food relief, causing tens of thousands of people in Suide to starve to death.
These are all sinful debts caused by your Tang family."
Tang Dingwei's eyes were full of sorrow and he said: "Tang has nothing to say about this crime. Even if the imperial envoy wants to kill my Tang family, Tang deserves it."
Li Huan looked at Tang Dingwei and said: "You, the Tang family, indeed deserve to die, but shouldn't the Tatars in Huli deserve to die? If it hadn't been for them, there wouldn't have been so many people who died tragically. You, the Tang family, must have died."
It’s gone, but the Tatars in the Huli region can live peacefully on the grassland.”
Tang Dingwei was not a fool. After hearing what Li Huan said, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Huan and said, "Sir, do you have anything to say to the guilty people?"
Li Huan said lightly: "Do you want to atone for your Tang family's sins?"
Tang Dingwei was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing, looked at Li Huan and said, "What do you want the common people to do, sir?"
A stern look flashed in Li Huan's eyes and he said: "I hope that you, Tang Dingwei, can help me slaughter the inside of the pot."
Tang Dingwei couldn't help but turn pale when he heard this. He looked at Li Huan with horror on his face, and then looked at Yang Yiqing who was sitting there.
Tang thought that he just had a bad temper, but he was not a fool.
The meaning of Li Huan's words couldn't be clearer. It meant that Li Huan wanted to deal with Hulibu.
Soon Tang Dingwei shook his head and said: "I'm afraid I will disappoint you. Aliha in the Hulibu is not a fool. Even if I, Tang, come forward, I can't persuade him to enter the customs again and take the initiative to die."
Obviously, in Tang Dingwei's view, Li Huan wanted the Tang family to come forward and invite the Huli tribe to enter the customs. After all, the Tang family had done this before.
If we can really trick Hu Libu into coming in, we can really kill Hu Libu's elite without any mental calculation or carelessness.
However, Tang Dingwei also knew that it was absolutely impossible for people from the Huli tribe to enter the border at this time. After all, the people from the Huli tribe were not stupid. At this time, all sides were on guard, even if they were as bombastic as Tang Ding said.
People in Hulibu are also unlikely to be fooled.
Therefore, Tang Dingwei felt that Li Huan was simply acting out of his imagination.
Li Huan slowly shook his head, looked at Tang Dingwei and said: "I am not asking you to persuade Hulibu to enter the customs. I also know that this is not realistic at all. As far as I know, in a few days, you will
The Tang family is about to make a deal with Hulibu."
Tang Dingwei looked at Li Huan and said, "Does your Majesty mean that the imperial army will step out of the Great Wall and enter the grassland to deal with the Huli tribe?"
Li Huan saw Tang Dingwei's expression in his eyes and chuckled: "What? Are we only allowed to invade the Central Plains by the Tatars, but we are not allowed to set foot on the grasslands of the Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses?"
Tang Dingwei ignored Li Huan and looked at Yang Yiqing, the governor of the three sides.
Although the Ming Dynasty still maintains a separation of civil and military affairs on the surface, anyone who is not a fool can see that the Ming Dynasty is now in a situation where civil society dominates the military.
Therefore, Tang Dingwei did not believe the words of Li Huan, a young imperial minister. He was more willing to believe the words of Yang Yiqing, the imperial censor of Youdu, governor of Shaanxi and governor of the three sides.
Yang Yiqing clearly felt Tang Dingwei's gaze, and nodded solemnly and said to Tang Dingwei: "Yes, I have agreed with the imperial envoy to slaughter the Huli tribe to avenge the tens of thousands of people in Suide.
"
Yang Yiqing looked at Tang Dingwei and said, "This is your Tang Dingwei's chance to forgive. It depends on whether Tang Dingwei is willing to assist the court in dealing with the Huli tribe's troops!"
Tang Dingwei pondered for a while, then slowly looked up at Yang Yiqing and Li Huan and said, "It's not impossible for me to cooperate with the imperial court. The guilty people have only one request."
Li Huan said calmly: "Speak!"
Tang Dingwei took a deep breath and prayed: "I, Tang, deserve to die. All the men will be killed, and the women will be sent to the Jiaofang Department. This is my retribution, but... I am an imperial envoy.
Sir, Lord Governor, can you leave a root for me, Tang family?"
As he spoke, Tang Dingwei said in a trembling voice with some excitement and expectation: "I have a grandson who was born just ten months ago. He is just a baby. If the two adults can save his life, the guilty people are willing to risk their lives to help the imperial court to eliminate him."
Hulibu, please forgive me, Mrs. Tang."
With a bang, Tang Dingwei kowtowed fiercely to Li Huan and Yang Yiqing.
Li Huan couldn't help but frowned when he heard this. At this time, Yang Yiqing glanced at Tang Dingwei, pondered for a moment and then said to Li Huan: "Master Li, I think I can give Tang Dingwei a chance. If he can really
If you cooperate with the imperial court to exterminate the Huli tribe, it will be regarded as a great achievement, and the imperial envoy can give the baby a way to survive afterwards."
Li Huan still frowned. The crimes committed by the Tang family were so serious. They colluded with the Tatars and robbed relief money and food, leading to the tragic death of tens of thousands of people. Coupled with the various crimes committed by the Tang family over the years, it would be annihilating the entire clan.
It's light.
Now Tang Dingwei actually wants to ask him to leave a bloodline for the Tang family. According to Li Huan's temperament, it is absolutely impossible for him to agree.
Just looking at Tang Dingwei, Li Huan took a deep breath and said slowly: "Okay, I can give you a chance. If you can really cooperate with the imperial court to kill Hulibu, then I can make the decision.
Leave your grandson alive."
Tang Dingwei couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this. Tears of excitement flowed from his eyes. He kowtowed to Yang Yiqing and said, "Sinners, thank you so much, sir. Thank you so much, sir."
Li Huan snorted coldly and said: "Remember, the premise is that you can help the court to destroy Hulibu, otherwise..."
Tang Dingwei said with a firm look on his face: "Don't worry, Sir, the guilty people have also dealt with those Tatars. This time we agreed to trade war horses with the Tatars, the guilty people are responsible for it, and they will definitely not
What happened?"
Li Huan snorted coldly and said, "I hope you won't disappoint me."
As he spoke, Li Huan said to Yue Buqun who was standing beside him: "Yue Buqun, you will temporarily act as the accountant of the Tang family and follow Tang Dingwei to select a group of people to cooperate with Tang Dingwei."
Yue Buqun heard this and said in a deep voice: "I obey my orders."
Watching Tang Dingwei and Yue Buqun leave, Li Huan looked at Yang Yiqing and said, "It's all up to Governor Yang to mobilize the troops."
Yang Yiqing stroked his beard and said with a gleam in his eyes: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Imperial Envoy. I have already sent people to mobilize the elite cavalry from the three sides. I will definitely not miss your business."
Suidezhou
With the county magistrate Ding Dechao being granted the authority to relieve the victims by Li Huan, and coupled with the continuous confiscation of food, the situation of the victims outside the city was obviously improving.
At the same time, Li Huan gave an order and raised a banner to recruit troops.
You must know that there are still hundreds of thousands of disaster victims outside Suidezhou City. Those who have been able to persist until now can be said that except for a very small number of old and weak, almost most of them are young men and women, or some children, at least some of them are older.
There are only a handful of elderly people.
With the same conditions, Li Huan ordered the recruitment of 5,000 young men in Suidezhou, and used the confiscated acres of land, gold, silver, and grain as conditions for settling these young men's relatives.
In almost less than a day, even after several rounds of screening, five thousand young men were recruited. If Li Huan hadn't considered that he wanted to maintain some vitality for Suidezhou, he really let go of the recruitment.
Say five thousand, even twenty thousand is easy.
Here, Li Huan, with the cooperation of Yang Yiqing, vigorously investigated corruption among Shaanxi officials, used the property of these officials to provide relief to the victims, and at the same time selected a group of relatively honest officials from among the local officials to preside over government affairs.
, finally stabilized the situation in Shaanxi.
On this day, a group of people appeared in front of the Great Wall that stretched thousands of miles. At the front was a caravan. There were hundreds of people in the caravan. The leader was none other than the ninth master of the Tang family, Tang Ding.
for.
Tang Dingwei was dressed in silk and satin and looked very rich, while Yue Buqun was dressed in a blue shirt and looked very elegant.
Behind them are some trustworthy people selected in the past few days, most of whom are almost from the Jin Yiwei, all dressed like servants.
The large carts were filled with sacks, seemingly filled with all kinds of goods.
Saburoguchi
Saburoguchi, who had already been replaced as guard guard, was now guarding the gate. The general manager respectfully opened the gate and let the convoy out.
The guard guarding the gate was none other than the captain Shi Erlang who had escaped with his life from Tang Ye.
Shi Erlang was obviously valued. Not only was he promoted to the commander-in-chief, but he was also appointed to guard Sanlang's mouth.
Shi Erlang had already received the news before, and was even allowed to leave the border with the army to seek revenge on the Tatars in Huli.
After watching the caravan dressed as members of the Tang family leave, Shi Erlang soon heard the news of the large group of people arriving.
Looking from a distance, the darkness was overwhelming, and it was a group of cavalry slowly approaching.
Needless to say, these cavalry are naturally the elites from the three sides recruited by Yang Yiqing.
In addition to the cavalry selected from the Beijing camp that followed Li Huan, the total number was almost 6,000.
Such a team may not seem like much. After all, compared to the Ming Dynasty, every time they went out to the grassland outside the city, there were often hundreds of thousands of troops. A mere few thousand people could not even be considered as vanguards.
But that also depends on the level of the opponent.
Back then, hundreds of thousands of troops were frequently dispatched. The Ming Dynasty's opponents were the overlords of the entire grassland and the remnants of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. But now they are just fighting for a mere grassland tribe.
Thousands of troops are dispatched, which really means that the Hulibu can't be taken down by Hulibu even with so many troops dispatched, then we have to consider how much combat power the Nine-sided Army still has.
Riding on a war horse and wearing armor, Li Huan looked heroic, like a young general.
In contrast, Yang Yiqing's demeanor is obviously more mature and steady. There is nothing that can be done about it, because Li Huan's age is so bad.
Yang Yiqing did not change his armor like Li Huan, but was still wearing the governor's official uniform, and kept pace with Li Huan.
Shi Erlang looked at Li Huan, Yang Yiqing and all the troops approaching, and immediately led more than a hundred soldiers guarding the pass to come forward and salute Li Huan and others.
Li Huan looked at Shi Erlang and said with a smile: "Shi Erlang, leave some people to guard the pass, and the rest will send troops with me."
Shi Erlang's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he said energetically: "Thank you, sir."
On the grassland
Although it has already entered the end of autumn, there is not much green on the grassland anymore. Wherever you look, there is only yellow withered grass.
The severe drought in Shaanxi has actually affected the grasslands adjacent to Shaanxi to some extent. At least the grassland occupied by Huli, which was originally lush with water and grass, has been seriously affected.
Considering the livestock originally raised in Hulibu, it was obvious that they could no longer retain so many cattle, sheep, and horses when they were already suffering from disasters.
This is one of the reasons why Hulibu would take the initiative to trade with the Tang family for 3,000 good horses. Otherwise, Hulibu would not choose to trade with good horses as long as they could raise so many good horses.
Anyway, a large number of livestock are destined to starve to death due to the disaster. It is better to exchange them for some living supplies from the Tang family so that more people can survive this cold winter.
If this were the case in previous years, if the Huli tribe could not cross the Great Wall and plunder the Ming Dynasty, they would inevitably suffer huge losses and injuries.
But this time, with the help of the Tang family, Hulibu robbed more than 10,000 stones of grain. With this grain, plus the grain they had accumulated previously, they could live more frugally, at least
There will be no problem for tens of thousands of people in Huli to spend this winter.
Just because they saw the hope of survival, Aliha, Solnit and his son took the warriors of Hulibu back to the tribe with tens of thousands of stones of food, and the whole Hulibu was boiling with excitement.
Even Hulibu celebrated this event with singing and dancing for several days, and the jubilant atmosphere was somewhat subdued.
A huge tent stands out among the many tents. This tent is where Aliha, the leader of the Huli tribe, lives.
As a figure opened the door curtain and walked into the tent, a cold wind blew in, bringing a bit of coolness.
Aliha, who was sitting in the tent drinking horse milk tea, raised his head and glanced at the visitor and said: "Sonit, you are here!"
Solnit said to Aliha: "Abu, what's the matter with you calling your son?"
Aliha motioned for Solnit to sit down and said: "Sonit, my father made an agreement with the Tang family before to trade with them tomorrow. I asked you to choose a group of horses. Have you made your selection?"
Upon hearing this, Sonit hurriedly said: "Abu, don't worry, my son has selected a group of bad horses, and the ones left behind are all good ones."
Aliha smiled when he heard this and said: "Yes, although we have no choice but to trade horses with the Tang family, it does not mean that we have to trade good horses to them."
Solnit smiled and said: "I heard that the Tang family will send us salt and iron this time, as well as cotton armor from the Ming army and a batch of weapons?"
Aliha followed Mingren's example and smoothed his knotted beard, nodded slightly and said: "Yes, Abu, I said this time, either trade with grain or soldiers, the Tang family
That person is the commander of the First Guard, and if he casually leaks some from his hand, there are hundreds or even thousands of soldiers."
Solnit said with a bit of excitement: "If this is the case, the warriors in my Huli are strong and strong. If they invade the Ming Dynasty again in the future, they will definitely look down upon them."
Ali laughed and said: "So this transaction is very important. In the past few times, the Tang family only promised to give us a dozen pairs of armors, but this time there are hundreds of them. I will personally bring Abu when the time comes.
When I go to meet with the Tang family, you just stay and take care of the family for Abu."
Hearing this, Solnit showed some hesitation on his face and said: "Abu, can't you take your son with you? People in the Ming Dynasty will not send out large armies to this grassland, so what's the use of my son staying here?"
After glaring at Solnit, Aliha said: "It is true that Ming people will not come to this prairie, but don't forget that we are not guarding against Ming people, but other tribes."
Solnit was stunned for a moment, then said with a look of surprise on his face: "Abu, are you talking about the Black Sea Tribe?"
The Black Sea tribe is adjacent to the Huli tribe. Because the tribe's strength is slightly weaker than the Huli tribe, the richest pasture in the vicinity falls into the hands of the Huli tribe.
In order to compete with Hulibe for pasture, conflicts of various sizes broke out between the Black Sea tribe and Hulibe more than once or twice.
Fortunately, both sides were relatively restrained. Although conflicts often broke out, due to the restraint of the heads of ten thousand households, the two tribes did not really fight to the death.
But even so, there has been a long-standing grudge between the two sides. The Huli Department was affected by this disaster, and the Black Sea Department was also affected.
Because the Huli tribe colluded with the Tang family and robbed tens of thousands of shi of food, they had the confidence to survive the disaster. However, the Black Sea tribe was different.
Aliha knew very well that once the news spread that their Huli Department had received a large amount of food, the Black Sea Department would definitely not react at all after receiving the news.
The border towns of the Ming Dynasty were already in a state of martial law due to their plundering. Even if the Black Sea Department wanted to follow their example, it would probably be difficult for them to successfully conquer the border when the Ming army was on high alert.
Moreover, even if the Kou Pass is really successful, I am afraid that the losses will not be huge enough for the Black Sea Department to bear.
In this case, it is very likely that the Black Sea Department will come to take advantage of their Huli Department.
Looking at Solnit, Aliha said solemnly: "I'm going to do business with the Tang family. Solnit, you must look after my home."
Sonite nodded.
After speaking, Aliha waved his hand and said to Solnit: "Go down."
Sonit stepped back, Aliha stood up and walked into a curtain in the tent.
Suddenly, there was a burst of women's screams and curses coming from within the curtain. Just hearing that voice and the curse words, it was clear that they were the Ming Dynasty women who had been robbed.
dongshanling
This is a barren hill on the grassland. Because it is obviously much higher, it is called Dongshan Ridge.
At this moment, a caravan was slowly coming towards Dongshan Ridge. Tang Dingwei, who was sitting on the carriage, said to Yue Buqun: "Mr. Yue, this is Dongshan Ridge."
Looking at the barren hill in front of him, Yue Buqun was stunned for a moment, with a look of astonishment on his face.
Tang Dingwei also said before that the transaction place agreed upon by both parties was Dongshanling.
In Yue Buqun's understanding, Dongshan Ridge should be a mountain range, but he never thought that the so-called Dongshan Ridge was just a barren hill.
If you are not familiar with the terrain on the grassland or even know the place names, you may not be able to find the place even if you really know the trading location.
After all, how many people would regard the barren hills in front of them as a mountain?
Seemingly seeing Yue Buqun's surprise, Tang Dingwei explained: "Mr. Yue didn't know that this barren hill had no name at all, but later our Tang family did business with Hulibu here several times, so it became
Naming this place Dongshanling, it can be said that except for the old people of our Tang family, not many people know that this is Dongshanling."
Yue Buqun nodded slightly and summoned a Jin Yiwei to order: "Go and tell your lord that we have arrived. We are just waiting for the people from Hulibu to come. Then we will ask your lord to see the signal and take action."
Watching the Jin Yiwei leave, Yue Buqun looked at the sky and said, "It should be almost the time agreed with Hulibu."
Tang Dingwei looked at the sky, nodded slightly and said, "It's almost noon. If nothing else happens, the people in the pot will be here soon."
It was almost time to drink tea when Yue Buqun, who was quite impatient, suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance.
Not only Yue Buqun, but also Tang Dingwei and others also looked towards the billowing smoke and dust in the distance.
The billowing smoke and dust are approaching at an extremely fast speed. At a glance, it is a huge smoke and dust. Especially as the smoke and dust gets closer and closer, the ground shaking becomes more and more obvious.
Just hearing this movement, I am afraid that there are thousands of cavalry coming.
If he hadn't known in advance that the two parties were dealing with thousands of good horses, Yue Buqun would have suspected that the Huli tribe had sent thousands of tribesmen here.
Tang Dingwei looked at the smoke and dust getting closer and said to Yue Buqun: "Mr. Yue, the people from the Huli Department are here."
Yue Buqun nodded slightly, glanced at Tang Dingwei and said with some warning: "Don't forget your Lord's instructions. If you can make a great contribution this time, then your grandson will survive, otherwise...
"
Tang Dingwei said with determination in his eyes: "Don't worry, Mr. Yue, even if it's just to forgive me, Mrs. Tang, I will fully cooperate with the imperial envoy."
Yue Buqun patted Tang Dingwei's shoulder, nodded slightly and said, "As long as you understand this."
At this moment, a group of Tatars from afar came over, surrounded by a middle-aged man with red face, pigtails and a leather robe.
When Tang Dingwei saw the person coming, he took a deep breath, got off the carriage, got on his horse and faced him, while Yue Buqun also followed Tang Dingwei.
"Hahaha, Brother Tang, why are you the only one!"
When Aliha saw Tang Dingwei, he looked around and did not see Tang Dingli. He was stunned for a moment and then reacted, obviously a little surprised.
Tang Dingwei stroked his beard and stepped forward, bowed his hands to Aliha and said, "Originally, the third brother was coming, but there was a temporary matter in the clan that required the third brother to deal with, so I was the only one who came to see you, Aliha."
As he spoke, Tang Dingwei's eyes fell on the thousands of horses behind Aliha, and he said with a bit of joy on his face: "Leader Aliha really kept his promise."
Hearing this, Aliha smiled and said: "The good horse is here, where is the thing that your Tang family promised?"
Tang Dingwei pointed at the carts behind him and said with a smile: "What you want is on those carts."
Aliha couldn't help laughing when he heard this. While laughing, he drove his horse towards the carriages and said, "Okay, let me see how these soldiers and armors look like first!"
Suddenly there was an explosion in the air and a firework exploded.
This sudden change immediately stunned Aliha and hundreds of Huli tribe members. They subconsciously looked up at the fireworks blooming in the sky.
The next moment, a loud shout was heard: "Do it."
Yue Buqun shouted loudly and rushed towards Aliha like lightning. Aliha didn't even understand what was going on. The next moment, his whole body had fallen into Yue Buqun's hands.
Even though Aliha's strength was not bad, he was no match against Yue Buqun, and he was directly held in Yue Buqun's hands.
Following Yue Buqun's shout, hundreds of Jinyi guards dressed as servants of the Tang family suddenly took out crossbows at extremely fast speeds.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh
One after another, the powerful crossbows were shot out suddenly. In the blink of an eye, at least dozens of Hulibu warriors were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. As for the remaining Hulibu people, they saw Aliha being captured and his companions fell to the ground by arrows.
The earth, just now, was roaring like waking up from a dream.
Hundreds of Huli warriors couldn't help but rush towards Yue Buqun's direction. After all, Aliha was their leader. Now that the leader fell into Yue Buqun's hands, these people instinctively wanted to rush forward and save Aliha.
"Stop them!"
Yue Buqun shouted, and the Baijin Yiwei fired all the crossbows at extremely fast speeds, threw away the crossbows, and then drew their swords out of their sheaths and killed the Tatars who were charging towards them with red eyes.
If we talk about cavalry charging into battle, to be honest, even if these Jin Yiwei are elites, they are definitely no match for hundreds of cavalry.
But now these cavalry are obviously trapped in the convoy, and there is no way to use them.
Once the cavalry loses its impact, even the cavalry is no threat at all. These royal guards can even easily kill these Tatar cavalry.
Several miles away, large flags embroidered with the characters Li and Yang were fluttering in the wind and making a hunting sound. Dozens of sun and moon flags stood like a forest, showing a chilling atmosphere.
Who are Li Huan, Yang Yiqing and thousands of other Ming elites who came out of seclusion?
A firework suddenly exploded in the sky in the distance, and when Li Huan saw this scene, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted with a bit of excitement on his face: "Soldiers, follow me into the formation."
"kill!"
Thousands of troops roared forward. If you look down from the air, you can see a cavalry team of thousands of people on the grassland heading towards a tribe more than ten miles away at an extremely fast speed.
Needless to say, that tribe was naturally the target of Li Huan and others this time, the Huli tribe.
It's not that Li Huan and the others don't want to get close to the Huli tribe and then charge into the battle, but the Huli tribe is not a fool. How could they not send a large number of manpower to guard near their home base.
The reason why Li Huan and others wanted to take advantage of the Tang family's transaction with Hulibu was to avoid Hulibu's spies, and to take advantage of the opportunity to take down Aliha, the leader of Hulibu.
If a tribe suddenly loses its leader, it will inevitably fall into chaos. When the army attacks, it is self-evident that a tribe in chaos still has some fighting strength.
The army roared in, but it took only a moment for Li Huan to lead the army to the Dongshan Ridge and directly drowned hundreds of Tatars.
Aliha, who had fallen into the hands of Yue Buqun, heard the sound of the earth shaking, and saw the Ming Dynasty's cavalry everywhere in the distance. He couldn't help but have a look of horror and disbelief on his face.
Aliha had been cursing Tang Dingwei before. In Aliha's opinion, Tang Dingwei's behavior was clearly to get the benefits of their Hulibu in vain and not to trade with their Hulibu.
From the beginning to the end, Aliha never thought that there was anything going on with Daming. He simply thought that the Tang family did not keep their promises.
Aliha even thought in his heart that as long as he could escape this disaster, he would definitely fight as a tribal warrior to defeat the Tang family and let the Tang family know what a stupid decision it was to offend his Huli tribe.
But when Aliha saw the elite cavalry of the Ming Dynasty sweeping in like a torrent, Aliha finally understood that this was not Tang's move, it was clearly the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty.
Suddenly, Aliha exclaimed loudly: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. The soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty have not had the courage to enter the grassland for decades. How is this possible?"
Li Huan, who was coming on horseback, happened to hear Aliha's shout and his eyes fell on Aliha.
At this time, Yue Buqun saluted Li Huan and said, "Sir, Aliha, the leader of the Huli tribe, is here."
After saying that, Yue Buqun pushed Aliha, raised his foot and kicked Aliha in the crook of his leg, causing Aliha to kneel down in front of Li Huan and said: "I haven't paid my respects to the Imperial Envoy of the Ming Dynasty yet."
Aliha suddenly raised his head, stared at Li Huan fiercely and roared: "The emperor of Ming Dynasty will not let you go. If you dare to send troops without permission, do you know that this move is to provoke conflict between Ming Dynasty and me, the Tatars?"
War?"
Obviously, Aliha was also a smart man, and he actually knew how to use this to threaten Li Huan.
Li Huan couldn't help but laugh, glanced at Aliha disdainfully and said: "Whether it will provoke a war or not, it's not up to you, a little leader, to decide. You might as well think about whether your Huli tribe can
I hope I can survive today."
Ali Harden's expression changed drastically when he stood up. It was almost like a conditioned reflex. He suddenly stood up, stared at Li Huan and shouted: "You...what do you want to do?"
Li Huan pointed the riding whip in his hand at the group of elite cavalrymen of the Ming Dynasty who were rushing towards the inner part of Huli and said: "What do I want to do? You will know soon."
As he spoke, Li Huan suddenly dismounted his horse and said, "Take him with you and let him open his eyes to see what I am going to do today."
After Li Huan finished speaking, his figure had appeared more than ten feet away. Yue Buqun responded when he saw this, lifted Aliha up, and jumped down on Aliha's previous mount.
Aliha's mount was naturally a one-of-a-kind BMW. Even though he was carrying Aliha and Yue Buqun, he still ran like lightning, following Li Huan closely.
Aliha looked at the Ming cavalry sweeping towards his tribe like a torrent, and couldn't help but have a look of despair in his eyes.
Huli's defense has always been in the north, but there is no sense of defense against the Ming Dynasty in the south.
After all, the Heihe tribe is located in the north of the Huli tribe. Before coming out this time, Aliha even asked the warriors in the tribe to go out and watch the movements in the north. As for the south, there was no defense at all.
Aliha knew what would happen next just by looking at the Ming cavalry that was like a torrent.
The defenseless Hulibu had absolutely no resistance in front of the Ming cavalry.
"The pot is finished!"
Just as Aliha expected, when Li Huan took the lead and knocked away a Hulibu warrior who had a confused look on his face, the army rushed directly into the tribal habitat of Hulibu.
The Huli tribesmen who heard the commotion were all confused and running around like headless flies. There were experienced tribal warriors who got on their horses and subconsciously fought with their own bows, arrows and scimitars.
It's a pity that these people didn't have the slightest defense at all, and they couldn't get the horses to run in their haste. How could they withstand the rampaging and armed elite cavalry of the Ming Dynasty to the teeth?
Perhaps a fair fight between the two sides proved that in a head-to-head confrontation, the Tatars would still be able to fight, but in this case, it was a one-sided killing.
Many Huli warriors were killed with an arrow just as they mounted their horses.
Li Huan and Yang Yiqing, protected by their own soldiers, stopped in front of a large tent, which was Aliha's residence.
At this time, Aliha was also brought close by Yue Buqun.
There were shouts of killing all around, and the bodies of killed Tatars were everywhere on the ground. Many of these Tatars had expressions of shock and disbelief on their faces.
The distraught Aliha turned over and fell off his horse, landing right in front of Li Huan and Yang Yiqing.
Aliha was in a trance, obviously being greatly stimulated. Suddenly, a voice suddenly woke up Aliha.
"Abu, Abu, I'm here to save you."
I saw an eleven or twelve-year-old boy suddenly emerge from behind a tent, holding a scimitar in his hand, his eyes full of sternness, and like a wolf cub, he was looking at a man standing around.
The soldiers rushed forward.
The soldier glanced at the young man with disdain and struck him with a knife. However, he never thought that the boy would roll on the spot. He swung the knife with great agility and slashed the soldier's ankle. The next moment,
The soldier let out a scream and fell to the ground.
The one who was injured was none other than Yang Yiqing's personal soldier. The young man was so strong that he avoided the obstruction of two more personal soldiers and approached Aliha in the blink of an eye.
"Dojilt, go quickly, go quickly!"
Aliha's expression changed drastically when he saw that his youngest son, whom he had high hopes for, was rushing towards him. His face was full of anxiety and he shouted loudly at the young man.
Aliha knew very well that even though his son had barged in, it was just an illusion. You must know that he clearly saw Yue Buqun standing next to him when he wanted to take action against Dogirt.
Li Huan shook his head at Yue Buqun.
With no one to stop him, Doggert rushed to Aliha in the blink of an eye. The young man, who looked like a wolf cub, helped Aliha up. At the same time, he stared fiercely at Li Huan and others, protecting Aliha.
In front of Ha.
Li Huan just looked at Aliha and his son indifferently, while there were screams for mercy and the sounds of killing everywhere.
Listening to the wailing of the tribesmen and the pitiful screams before death, Aliha couldn't help but roared at Li Huan: "Butcher, you butcher, the Ming Dynasty has always governed the world with benevolence and filial piety, but you actually slaughtered my Huli tribe like this."
It's a pity that Li Huan looked calm in the face of Aliha's roar and curses.
Suddenly, Aliha knelt down in front of Li Huan with a pop, kowtowed to Li Huan and said: "Imperial envoy of the Celestial Empire, my Huli tribe is willing to surrender. My Huli tribe has surrendered. Please ask the imperial envoy to order to stop the killing."
As he spoke, Aliha shouted loudly: "I, the Hulibu, are willing to surrender and surrender to the Emperor of Heaven..."
For a moment, many soldiers and generals couldn't help but look at Li Huan.
How many years have there been no Tatar tribal leaders willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty? Although the Huli tribe is not a large tribe of Tatars, it can be regarded as a medium-sized tribe. If such a tribal leader is willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty, it is conceivable that the Ming Dynasty
In the hall, those officials will be so excited.
Foreign races surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, this is a deed that will go down in history.
It is conceivable that if Li Huan can really make the Huli tribe surrender to the Ming Dynasty and submit to the Ming Dynasty, then Li Huan will definitely be famous in history, and it is not impossible to even be knighted for this.
Many people couldn't help but look at Li Huan, secretly guessing that as long as Li Huan was not a fool, he would definitely know what kind of benefits Hulibu's request for surrender would be to him, the imperial envoy.
Even Yang Yiqing raised his head and looked at Li Huan.
Aliha shouted: "Don't you, the Ming Dynasty, emphasize that all nations come to court and teach the world with benevolence and righteousness? My Huli tribe is willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Please give the imperial envoy an order not to kill anyone again. If you continue to kill, my Huli tribe will really
I'm going to die..."
A guerrilla general couldn't help but said to Li Huan: "Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy..."
Li Huan just glanced at the guerrilla general. Immediately, the guerrilla general closed his mouth when he saw Li Huan's indifferent gaze.
Everything was quiet except for the shrill screams of the Huli tribesmen before they died.
That sound was a kind of mental torture for Aliha.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Envoy has surrendered. The Huli tribe has surrendered..."
Aliha kept kowtowing and begging.
Suddenly, Li Huan said: "Aliha!"
When Aliha heard Li Huan's voice, he raised his head suddenly. He looked at Li Huan with some hope and expectation in his eyes and said: "Master Imperial Envoy, are you finally willing to let me go? Aliha wishes you a long life as a prince."
