When Yasida and Amul were tied up and taken into the commander's tent by the Ming army soldiers, Zhao Dali had already arranged for twenty sword and ax bracelet guards to protect Zhao Junchen.
Obviously, Zhao Dali was worried that Yasida and Amul would suddenly become violent after seeing Zhao Junchen, endangering Zhao Junchen's safety.
Zhao Junchen did not stop Zhao Dali's arrangement, but when he saw the appearance of Yasida and Amul at this time, he knew that Zhao Dali's worries were purely unnecessary.
I saw that the two Mongolian leaders were both seriously injured at this time. The shorter one had his right eye tied up with blood-stained gauze. He seemed to be blind in one eye, and his right hand was completely cut off;
The other person was taller and his injuries were more serious. Not only was his body covered in blood and covered with gauze, but his left leg was also broken and seemed to be completely disabled.
It is obviously impossible for the two of them to threaten Zhao Junchen's life.
Obviously, the Ming army soldiers used some ruthless means to capture these two people alive.
However, although the two men were defeated, captured and seriously injured, their attitudes remained unruly. After entering the commander's tent, they just looked at Zhao Junchen coldly, without any intention of begging for mercy.
However, although Yasida and Amul maintained a rebellious attitude after seeing Zhao Junchen, they were both a little surprised in their hearts, but they could not believe that the Han imperial envoy who led the weak Ming army to defeat them was actually such a young and weak man.
image of.
Zhao Junchen also looked at the two Mongolian leaders in front of him with great interest. Under the ferocious gazes of the two Mongolian leaders, he showed no intention of hiding or showing weakness.
After looking at it for a moment, Zhao Junchen slowly asked: "Among you two, who is Yasida of Junggar? Who is Amul, the leader of Yarkant?"
Zhao Dali used to be Ye Bushou in Datong Military Town. He often dealt with Mongolians and naturally knew Mongolian. When he heard Zhao Junchen's inquiry, he quickly translated Zhao Junchen's inquiry into Mongolian.
After hearing the inquiry, the taller Yasida did not answer the question and asked coldly: "I am Yasida from the Junggar Khanate, and you are the Han imperial envoy Zhao Junchen? I didn't expect that you are just a weak and sick Han man!"
Yasida's attitude was quite arrogant, which made Zhao Dali hesitate for a moment when translating, but in the end he told Zhao Junchen truthfully.
After hearing Zhao Dali's translation, Zhao Junchen was not angry. Instead, he asked with a smile: "Two famous warriors of the Junggar Khanate were defeated by a weak and sick man like me, and they became the best among their subordinates.
Although you are a prisoner, you can still maintain such arrogance. Your Excellency is in a good state of mind!"
Yasida naturally understood Zhao Junchen's sarcasm, and couldn't help but said angrily: "If you Han people hadn't set up a despicable ambush, how could you cowardly and incompetent Han people be the opponents of my Mongolian warriors!?"
Zhao Junchen laughed again and shook his head, saying: "Now that the victory has been decided, why bother to find excuses to make people laugh at you? Aren't you Mongolians the usual means of surprise attacks? That's all, you are just defeated generals and prisoners of your subordinates.
, I am too lazy to spend time arguing with you. I just want to ask about the news about Jiezhou City when I see you this time! Your Mongolian coalition forces have been attacking Jiezhou City for more than ten days. What is the current situation in Jiezhou City? The Mongolian coalition forces
Is there any progress in the siege of the city? How many troops are there in the main Mongolian force under Jiezhou City?"
After hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Yasida only felt that she had been humiliated, but her anger increased. She reluctantly raised her injured arm, pointed at Zhao Junchen and angrily shouted: "I am a general of the Junggar Khanate.
Erdan Khan and Chief Bagan have always been loyal. Even if they are defeated by you now, they will never reveal any information to you! You can kill me, but if you want me to betray my own people, it is
Absolutely impossible!"
Zhao Junchen nodded noncommittally, feeling neither admiration nor helplessness.
After the battle at Xiaochuan River, the Ming army captured a total of more than 7,000 Mongolian prisoners. Even if Yasida refused to say anything, there would naturally be other prisoners willing to provide all the information!
In fact, just when Yasida forcefully rejected Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Amul next to him clearly showed hesitation.
Zhao Junchen did not expect Yasida to cooperate with his inquiry from the beginning. He just gave it a try. After all, Yasida is a high-level general of the Mongolian coalition. The information he knows may be more detailed, but if Yasida has a tough attitude,
Even if Zhao Junchen is unwilling to confess, he will not be disappointed.
I saw Zhao Junchen nodded and said: "You are worthy of being a general of the Junggar Khanate. Regardless of the different positions of the two sides, you can be regarded as a tough guy... Since you are still loyal to the Junggar Khanate, then I
It will help you..."
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Yasida couldn't help but sneered, thinking that Zhao Junchen had become angry and was about to order him to be killed!
However, Yasita had already awakened after being captured alive by the Ming army on the battlefield, and still had no intention of surrendering.
On the contrary, Amul's body next to him trembled slightly, and his face was obviously panicked.
However, Zhao Junchen's next statement was completely beyond Yasida and Amul's expectations!
I saw Zhao Junchen still smiling and continued: "You and Amul can leave here now! I will spare your lives this time and let you regain your freedom. I will also give you two
A war horse will take your place so that you can return to the Mongolian coalition as soon as possible!"
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Yasida and Amul both looked in disbelief. They looked at Zhao Junchen blankly, feeling that they had heard wrong!
Finally, Amul, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but ask: "Are you...really really going to let us go?"
Zhao Junchen nodded again and said: "How can I lie to you at this time? However, I hope that after you return to the Mongolian coalition, you can pass a message to Bagan of the Mongolian coalition on my behalf, saying that I am looking forward to hunting with him.
On the Weishui River!"
After getting Zhao Junchen's accurate answer, Amul couldn't help but look ecstatic, while Yasida took a deep look at Zhao Junchen and gritted his teeth and said: "If you just let us go like this, I will definitely make you regret it in the future! Here we are.
At that time, I will not let you go!"
Zhao Junchen still didn't care about Yasida's provocation, and just said: "I'm afraid you won't have such a chance!"
After Yasida snorted coldly, she didn't look at Zhao Junchen anymore, and wanted to turn around and drag her remaining leg away from here. Amul also quickly followed behind.
However, Zhao Junchen suddenly raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute!"
Hearing Zhao Junchen's obstruction, Amul couldn't help but change his expression, while Yasida looked sarcastic, turned around and asked, "What? Do you regret it?"
Zhao Junchen shook his head and said: "It's not that I regret it, I just thought of something and thought I should tell you... On the battlefield of Xiaochuan River this time, there are three leaders of the Mongolian cavalry. Apart from you two,
There is also a man named Su He, who is the leader of the Chagatai tribe... Aren't you curious about this man's current whereabouts?"
Yasida was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Isn't Su He already killed by you?"
Zhao Junchen shook his head again and said: "That's not the case! In fact, Su He is much smarter than the two of you! He may have long seen that the Mongolian army could not escape defeat on the Xiaochuan River battlefield, and also discovered that I appeared on the battlefield.
Your actions were just to lure the enemy into dividing their forces. If I guess correctly, it was Su He who encouraged you two to attack Yunluan Mountain, right?
...But while the two of you led the troops to attack Yunluan Mountain, Su He stayed on the battlefield on the south bank of the Xiaochuan River and became the supreme commander of the Mongolian army. So he took the opportunity to order the Junggar cavalry and Ye on the battlefield.
The Erqiang cavalry attacked the Ming army's defense line regardless of casualties, and he took advantage of the Ming army's attention being attracted by the Junggar cavalry and the Yerqiang cavalry, and led a small number of Chagatai cavalry to escape in the chaos... At that time,
The situation on the battlefield is extremely chaotic. The officers and soldiers of the Ming Army are a little anxious because of the two of you attacking Yunluan Mountain. They just want to defeat the Junggar cavalry and Yarkand cavalry who are madly attacking them as soon as possible, plus Su He's command.
The cavalry was relatively small, so they didn’t expend too much effort to stop it, but they didn’t expect that a big fish escaped!”
After a pause, Zhao Junchen smiled with some evil intentions and concluded: "In other words, Su He betrayed you. He used the sacrifices of the Junggar tribe and the Yarkand tribe to pave the way for himself and some Chagatai.
The cavalry's escape!"
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, the expressions of both Yasida and Amul changed drastically!
Yasida stared and said loudly: "Impossible! Su He will never dare to do this. This is definitely because you, a cunning Han, want to drive a wedge between us!"
Next to him, Amul hesitated for a moment, but did not open his mouth to refute. Instead, he thought that Zhao Junchen's statement was probably the truth.
Compared with Yasida, Amul and Su He are both leaders of the Junggar Khanate's servant army, and they have a better understanding of Su He's character!
In Amul's opinion, Su He is definitely a cunning, cunning and fickle person! As long as it can preserve the vitality of the Chagatai tribe, Su He will never hesitate to betray his allies!
At this time, faced with Yasida's doubts, Zhao Junchen just said: "In this war, our army captured more than 7,000 Mongolian prisoners. If General Yasida doesn't believe what I say, you can go before leaving here."
Go to the prisoner camp and ask people of your own clan about the situation. At that time, you will naturally know whether I lied to you or not!"
Seeing what Zhao Junchen said, Yasida couldn't help but believe it.
After Yasida's expression changed for a moment, she snorted heavily and turned around to leave again! And Amul quickly followed behind.
This time, Zhao Junchen did not try to persuade them to stay, but just stared at the backs of Yasida and Amul with thoughtful eyes.
*
But he said that after Yasida and Amul left, Zhao Dali hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but asked: "Your Majesty, these two are important leaders of the Mongolian coalition. You just let them go?"
Zhao Junchen did not immediately answer Zhao Dali's inquiry, but murmured to himself: "Both of these two people were seriously injured. Even if they were given two war horses to travel, they would probably not be able to return to the battlefield in Jiezhou City at the same speed.
Not soon...in this case..."
After muttering to himself, Zhao Junchen turned to Zhao Dali and said: "Dali, pass the order and select three strong Chaghatai cavalry among the prisoners. Wait until Yasida and Amul leave our army camp.
, also let these three Chagatai cavalry leave! Then tell them the content of the conversation I just had with Yasida and Amul!"
After hearing Zhao Junchen's instructions, Zhao Dali couldn't help being stunned, but he soon understood Zhao Junchen's intention.
Just as Yasida guessed, Zhao Junchen really wanted to alienate the Mongolian coalition, but Zhao Junchen's target of alienation was not Yasida and Amul, but Su He, the leader of the Chagatai!
Obviously, after Yasida and Amul return to the Mongolian coalition, they will definitely report to Bagan about Su He's betrayal of the Junggar Khanate on the battlefield of Xiaochuan River! By that time, Bagan will definitely be furious and have already
Su He who escapes back will definitely be killed by Bagan!
But if this is the case, it will not have a big impact on the main force of the Mongolian coalition. After all, Su He will have no choice but to wait and die, and has no power or chance to resist Bagan.
Therefore, when Zhao Junchen let go of Yasida and Amul, he also let go of three Chagatai prisoners! The bodies of these three Chagatai prisoners were not as strong as Yasida and Amul.
Generally, if you are seriously injured, you will be able to rush to the main camp of the Mongolian coalition forces in advance, and you can inform Yu Suhe in advance that Yasida and Amul are about to show up to complain!
In this way, Su He will naturally not sit back and wait for death, and will have enough time to prepare!
Considering Su He's insidious and unscrupulous character, it is very likely that he will make a big move by then, and maybe he can weaken the strength of the Mongolian coalition again!
I have to say, this is a very insidious plan!
But for the Ming army, the more sinister this plan is, the better!
After thinking about this, Zhao Dali couldn't help but look excited, nodded repeatedly and said: "I'll go make arrangements right away!"
Zhao Junchen nodded and added: "Also, if you tell me, I will go to the wounded barracks for inspection soon. By the way, I will express condolences to the wounded in the army. You can send someone to make arrangements."
Zhao Dali was stunned again, and then advised: "The wounded camp is too unlucky, so naturally there are military doctors in charge. You have been too exhausted during this period. It is getting late now, so it is better to rest as soon as possible!"
Zhao Junchen shook his head: "Some things should be dealt with as soon as possible to achieve the best results... After the war is over, it will not be too late for me to rest... Don't worry, this war won't last too long!"
