Chapter 1072 Yue Tuo:... Duke Wei, Jia Heng! Despicable!
Xining Fucheng
In the afternoon, Jia Heng went to the ancestral hall of the Jin family and saw Jin Xiaoyu's burial tomb. It was surrounded by pines and cypresses, evergreen all year round, with a gentle breeze, lush green leaves, and blue waves.
Staring at the grave of King Jincheng of Xining County not far away, Jia Heng couldn't help but sigh.
Jin Cheng, the king of Xining County, passed away not long ago, and Jin Xiaoyu followed closely behind him. Although he and Jin Xiaoyu had some disputes in the past, it is inevitable that people will sigh with emotion.
Jia Heng said: "Does the Prince of Xining County have any descendants?"
"The Duke of Wei has an heir from a concubine who is now the magistrate of Xining Mansion. Jin Xiaoyu also has a young son who is now being fostered in the mansion." The middle-aged official who led the way said.
Jia Heng nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Even if Jin Xuan wants to inherit the title of King of Xining County, he will not treat his brother Jin Cheng's other heirs and grandsons less favorably, otherwise he will be under the pressure of the family's moral public opinion.
Although he disagreed with the Jin family's practice of respecting the strong, he had to say that in such a bad situation in the northwest, it was the best way to choose a successor.
In the final analysis, it is Chen Han's attitude towards these martial arts heroes who have shown the potential to be invincible.
Jia Heng paid his respects at the Jin family ancestral hall and then returned to his residence.
Just when Jia Heng returned to the military tent, the middle-aged official who had just answered Jia Heng's words in the Jin family ancestral hall appeared at Fang Jin's house.
Fang Jin looked indifferent and asked: "He asked you about the eldest son's heir?"
"Yes." The middle-aged clerk lowered his head and said cautiously.
Fang Jin's eyes were a little gloomy, he waved his hand and said, "You go down first."
The Duke of Wei asked what the short-lived son of Jin Xiaoyu was doing? Could it be that he wanted to pass on the title of King of Xining County to Jin Xiaoyu's heirs?
Probably not. Xining is facing the Mongolians in Qinghai. The situation between the Mongols and the Mongolians is complicated, and it needs a capable military officer to guard it. The previous battle between Huangyuan and Haiyan has proved that Jin Xiaoyu's generals are insufficient and cannot handle the task.
Moreover, his youngest son is still young and cannot take on the responsibility of garrison in the northwest.
But what if the imperial court wants to deploy the Xining cavalry and then re-incorporate Xining into the rule?
Or perhaps the purpose of raising troops this time was to completely wipe out the Mongols in Qinghai, so there was no need for the Xining County Prince to guard Xining, and it was to support the invaders to respect themselves.
With this thought, Fang Jin's heart skipped a beat, and a sinister gleam flashed in his eyes.
In fact, Jin Xuan's eldest son had mediocre talents and was not interested in military affairs. His second son Jin was promoted to a civil service, and Fang Jin, Jin Xuan's son-in-law, had long coveted the identity of the Lord of Xining.
This is not to say that he covets the title of the Prince of Xining County. This is the contribution made when the country was founded. The title is hereditary and irreplaceable and cannot be changed.
Instead, the Xining border general will have independent power. After that, he will be granted the title of uncle or marquis, which is just around the corner!
Just when Fang Jin was feeling gloomy and uncertain, the old servant Ning Bo's voice interrupted Fang Jin's thoughts and said, "Uncle, the second young master is back."
After a while, Fang Gong, the second young master of the Fang family, entered the study and saluted Fang Jin.
Fang Jinping retreated from the housekeeper, walked closer, and asked, "How is it?"
Fang Gong lowered his voice and said: "Brother, I heard that the Jingying camp got the plan of King Zhou's invasion of Qinghai Mongolia, and wanted to use cavalry to attack the Qinghai Mongolian tribes."
Fang Jin frowned and said coldly: "There are many mountains around the Qilian Mountains and many rivers and dangerous shoals. Does he want to use his cavalry to bypass Huangyuan?"
The land of Hehuang in Qinghai was originally regarded as the dividing zone between the first and second steps in geography textbooks of later generations. The terrain was dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Fang Gong shook his head and said: "It has not been found yet."
Fang Jin said: "Don't underestimate this Duke of Wei. If you go and find out more information, find a way to secretly print out a copy of Nao Shizi's marching map. I can use it."
Fang Gong responded and then quietly walked out of the study.
Fang Jin looked at the map in his hand and whispered: "It seems that we need to repeat the same trick."
…
…
Time flies, and two days have passed before I know it.
In the afternoon, the envoy to Huangyuan County came again. Heshuote Mongolia had agreed to exchange prisoners between the two parties, but they had to meet with Wei Guogong, the commander-in-chief of the Han Dynasty's expedition to the west, at the mouth of the East Canyon.
In the military tent, Chen Xiaoxing came closer, looked at Jia Heng, and asked, "Why did they meet you?"
Jia Heng pondered for a moment, then came to the map and whispered: "It may be Yue Tuo's idea. He may want to meet me, or he may have other plans."
After thinking for a while, he asked: "Have the Jinyi Palace Guards found out who delivered the news in Xining Fucheng?"
Chen Xiao thought for a while and said: "I found some clues. The Nan'an army deployed soldiers to guard the grain in Huangyuan. How many troops were deployed? Heshuote Mongolia supposedly didn't know. There was also something fishy about the previous defeat of Jin Xiaoyu.
.”
Jia Heng said: "That means there is an internal response in Xining City."
Chen Xiao pondered and said: "But there is no evidence now. The other party is hiding very deep. There seems to be an undercurrent lurking in the city."
Jia Heng turned to look at the girl and asked: "Xiaoxiao, do you think there is a possibility that the death of Jin Cheng, the former king of Xining County, is also suspicious?"
Chen Xiaodao: "Jin Xuan led the army in the early years and suffered from hidden diseases, which are prone to relapse as he gets older. If Jin Xuan is said to have killed his own brother, he probably wouldn't."
"Otherwise, this would be too much of a coincidence." Jia Heng frowned, thought for a moment, and whispered: "Jin Xuan can't do it, but what about others?"
As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be a monster.
For some things, he doesn't need specific answers and can freely testify. He only needs suspicion. Once he has doubts, he can have people investigate.
According to Han Fei, whoever benefits has the most motive. Jin Xuan, Fang Jin and others are all suspects.
The imperial court lost 100,000 troops, Jin Xiaoyu died in battle, Xining Fucheng was safe and sound, and 30,000 Xining cavalry were in Fang Jin's hands. How could there be so many things that were beneficial to Jin Xuan?
Chen Xiaodao: "We have already asked people to investigate, starting with the people around Fang Jin."
Jia Heng nodded and said nothing else.
…
…
Huangyuan County, East Canyon Entrance
It was in the afternoon, with green grass on both sides of the mountain pass and streaks of sunlight shining on the mountain peaks. When you looked up, the sun above the sky was somewhat poisonous.
Yue Tuan and Dorji, accompanied by a group of Heshuote Mongolian soldiers and horses, stood at the mountain pass with their horses' bridles pressed, and stood looking at the well-organized Han army.
Not far behind him, Prince Yan Ye of Nan'an County stared at Liu Fang, who was dressed in a skirt. His eyes were splitting, and he was shocked beyond words.
Scholars can be killed, but not humiliated!
Why is Liu Fang wearing women's clothes? How does she behave appropriately?
The face of the founding martial arts lineage has completely disgraced this guy!
At this moment, Liu Fang's arms were being cut behind her back by a rope as thick as a child's finger, and one end of the rope was tied to the prison car.
In the past few days, my face, which had gained a lot of weight due to abundant oil and water, was no longer rosy, but as pale as paper. I felt that the woman's dress I was wearing was like a ball of flame, burning me, and I wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
He wanted to free his arms and take off his dress. At this moment, Heshuote Mongolian guard looked at Liu Fang with contempt and annoyance, and shouted: "Taiji has an order, if you dare to take it off, you will be chopped off."
Off your head."
Liu Fang's heart was shocked, a look of humiliation appeared on her face, and a sense of fear surged in her heart.
If you can exchange it back soon, how can you fail before you go back?
But what should he do with such women's clothing?
Well, as long as he arrived at Xining Fucheng, he could just take off his clothes and say that this was an intentional insult by Heshuote Mongolia and that he did not do it voluntarily.
"Brother, we are here." Yue Tuo put down the clairvoyant telescope in his hand, handed it to Dorji and whispered.
Dorji also cheered up, took the clairvoyance from Yue Tuo, and put it in front of his eyes, looking at the mighty soldiers from the winding mountains in the distance and down.
"The one in the python suit is the Duke of Wei?" Dorji's thick eyebrows narrowed his eyes with a cold light, and he said in surprise: "How can this Duke of Wei be so young?"
At this moment, a handsome-faced military commander under the age of twenty appeared in the telescope's field of vision. He had sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes. After careful inspection, he looked at the wolf with an eagle's gaze, looking forward to his own glory.
Is such a character leaving the Jurchens helpless?
Yue Tuo showed murderous intent on his face and said in a cold voice: "That's him. He's not as old as Wen Guan, and he's already a serious problem for our Qing Dynasty!"
It was this Han Dynasty's Duke Wei who first killed his fifteenth uncle, and then blasted the emperor to death with a cannon. His father-in-law vowed to take this man's head!
Dorji narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "Brother, when we meet later, how about I ride up to you and capture him with one blow?"
Yue Tuo's expression changed slightly, and he said urgently: "Brother, please don't be reckless! It is said that Duke Wei is brave and good at fighting, and he has the courage that no man can match. It will be bad if he fails in a moment."
If he were beheaded on the spot again, it would be ridiculous.
When Dorji heard this, he seemed a little angry and said: "Brother, are you looking down on my martial arts?"
Yue Tuo knew he had made a mistake and quickly added: "Brother, I had absolutely no intention of doing so. It's just that today is a prisoner exchange, not a time to fight generals. My brother is so brave that he is invincible in the world. He will be captured and killed on the battlefield in the future."
That’s Duke Wei of the Han Dynasty.”
Dorji's eyes flashed, and he laughed and said: "Forget it, listen to my dear brother, today is indeed not the time to fight."
Exchanging prisoners is not a good opportunity for the fighting generals of both sides, and the Han people have many soldiers and horses. If they get into a fight, they will not be able to get down to business.
Jia Heng, accompanied by Chen Xiao, Jia Fang, Jia Chang, Dong Qian and other generals, led 500 cavalry to the military formation.
This is the number of soldiers agreed upon by both parties, and has been confirmed many times before.
Shuo Tuo was being detained in the prison car accompanying him not far behind. Zhang Shang and other Jurchen envoys who were going to the Han Dynasty to negotiate peace had excitement on their faces.
Finally able to go back.
It's just that Shuo Tuo's cheeks were rosy, as if he was overly excited, and almost had an abnormal blush.
Chen Xiao also put down the clairvoyance in his hand, frowned his beautiful eyebrows, his clear eyes were cold, and said in a low voice: "Look, what is Liu Fang doing?"
Jia Heng's face was as gloomy as iron, and he did not receive clairvoyance. He said in a deep voice: "I saw that a descendant of the founding martial arts family was wearing women's clothes and living an ignoble life. He was completely embarrassed by the face of my great warrior martial arts.
!”
After the emperor saw this, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit three liters of blood again, and the Duke of Li, Liu Biao, would be expelled from the throne!
As the distance between the two sides gradually came closer, many soldiers from the Beijing camp saw this scene, their expressions changed with shock and they were stunned.
Shuo Tuo laughed loudly and said: "These are Han people, wearing women's clothes, only wearing makeup and powder."
The officers and soldiers present all looked angry, and their hearts were burning with anger.
Jia Heng's anger sank into his Dantian, and he shouted, "Dorji, where is Yue Tuo?"
As he said that, he held the reins of the horse and drove the horse closer. Only Jia Fang and Jia Chang were beside him. Dong Qian and the three generals followed, and several soldiers escorted Shuo Tuo and Zhang Shang.
Yue Tuo looked solemn and said: "Brother, please come closer and answer me."
Listening to the voice of spring thunder, Dorzi put away some of the contempt in his heart, reined in his horse, stepped forward, and said loudly: "Let's go!"
The Mongolian men were not timid either. At this moment, Yue Tuo and several guards escorting Nan'an County Prince and Liu Fang came close.
Nan'an County Prince Yan Ye looked at the young man with a complex expression on his face, feeling a sense of shame welling up in his heart.
He is in such a mess now that he is allowed to be seen by Jia Heng's son here?
Liu Fang's eyes were full of resentment and resentment.
If the prince and him had been allowed to carry the Hongyi cannon, how would their army in the western expedition have been defeated like this?
How could he be humiliated today?
After all, it’s all because of Jia Heng’s son!
Jia Heng held the reins in his hand, with a calm expression on his face, and asked: "Dorji, you are grazing cattle in Qinghai. The imperial court treats you well, why did you send troops to invade?"
Dorji laughed loudly and said: "It's you Han Ting. We have lived on the grassland for generations. It's you Han people who insist on taking our pastures and riding on our heads. Now you ask us why we invade?"
Yue Tuo cupped his fists and said, "Yue Tuo, Prince Cheng of the Qing Dynasty, has met Duke Wei of the Han Dynasty."
Jia Heng looked at Yue Tuo, a young man in his thirties wearing Mongolian warrior attire, with a majestic face, piercing eyes, and a steel-needle beard under his chin.
In Manchu, Yue Tuo means foolish young man, but compared to Hauge, Azige and others, this man is brave and resourceful, and his generals are not inferior to Duduo. It can be said that Yue Tuo was responsible for this northwest war.
The swordsmanship caused a lot of trouble for the big man.
Jia Heng said coldly: "Are you Yue Tuo?"
Yue Tuo smiled and said sarcastically: "Does the world-famous Duke Wei actually know my name, Yue Tuo?"
Jia Heng stared at Yue Tuo closely and said, "I learned the name from Duduo. He and Huang Taiji miss you down here."
The smile on Yue Tuo's face froze for a moment, and anger surged in his eyes, but he calmed down immediately and said: "Duke Wei!"
Jia Heng held the horse rein in his hand, pointed at the two of them, and said: "The armies are optimistic about these two people. Whoever can take their heads on the battlefield in the future will be rewarded with a reward of ten thousand taels. I will petition the Holy One to recommend them to be awarded the fifth rank."
!”
Behind them, the Jin Yi Ti cavalry and the generals from the Beijing camp cheered loudly, seemingly eager to try.
Dorji and Yue Tuo looked ugly. This Han army was more tenacious than the ones they had previously defeated.
Veins popped up on Dorji's forehead, his hand couldn't help but hold a black sheath saber at his waist, his eyes were fierce, and his breathing gradually became heavier.
"Brother, business is important." Yue Tuo held Dorji's arm aside and his eyes fell on Shuo Tuo in the prison car.
Compared with the generals of the Han Dynasty, his brother was an invincible general. After his replacement, the Qing Dynasty became even more powerful.
Jia Heng looked at the two of them and said, "Dorji, Yue Tuo, let's exchange hostages."
This kind of rubbish talk about Biao is quite boring. Please resolve this matter quickly and go back to deploy your troops to recover the Mongolian tribes in Qinghai.
Yue Tuo snorted coldly and ordered: "Change."
The soldiers from both sides led the generals closer and headed towards each other without letting go of the ropes.
After a while, Shuo Tuo and Zhang Shang were helped back to their ranks by several Mongolian guards.
Nan'an County Prince Yan Ye and Liu Fang were also escorted back to their original places by the generals of the Beijing camp.
Liu Fang said to the two Beijing camp generals who were holding their arms, "Loosen the rope."
It's like leaving your pants in your pants and rushing home to change clothes.
Jia Heng heard the low voice and shouted: "Bring them all to the capital and deliver them to the Holy One as they are."
He doesn't care whether Emperor Chongping vomits blood or not. He will trample the founding nobles into the mud and never be able to stand up again!
Liu Fang: "..."
Jia Heng’s heart is worth killing!
Prince Yan Ye of Nan'an County closed his eyes tightly, feeling that he was too embarrassed to see anyone. Fortunately, his face was covered by his hair, and people outside could not see his expression clearly.
Jia Heng looked at Yan Ye who was wearing a python suit. He didn't look much, but turned his attention to Yue Tuo and Dorji.
The two sides did not speak. They reined in their horses and returned. Except for the sound of horse hooves and the collision of armor and weapons, there was a somewhat tense atmosphere in the silence.
There was no fighting, or it could be said that both sides were secretly on guard.
Dorji sneered and said, "When I catch this kid, I will put him in women's clothes and sell him to Jungar!"
Yue Tuo suggested: "Brother, let's go back too."
The Mongolian elite cavalry slowly retreated into the mouth of the East Canyon. Both sides warned each other and watched away.
Shuo Tuo had already untied the rope and said, "Second brother, long time no see."
Yue Tuo had already turned over and dismounted, came closer, hugged Shuo Tuo tightly, and called excitedly: "Brother."
The two brothers reunited again after more than half a year, and you can imagine their joy.
Shuo Tuo scolded and said: "These Han people are too shameless. When the two countries are at war, they will arrest the envoys if they don't kill them."
With a smile on his face, Yue Tuan said with relief: "Han people have always been despicable and shameless. Fortunately, my brother was finally saved this time."
Shuo Tuo asked: "How is the situation in the country? How is my father's health?"
Yue Tuo explained: "My father's health has not been very good since he returned to Beijing after he went south last time. The fourteenth uncle is now in charge of the overall affairs of the country."
Hearing this, Shuo Tuo nodded and said: "The fourteenth uncle is wise and talented. He should be in charge of the overall situation of the country."
Although they were both sons of Jurchenli Prince Daishan, Yue Tuo and Huang Taiji's eldest son Hao Ge were closer, while Shuo Tuo and Saha Lian's son Adali supported Dorgon more.
Yue Tuo frowned, but did not respond to these words, but said with a smile: "Let me introduce to my brother, this is Taiji Dorji of Heshuote, and the sixth son of Gushi Khan."
Dorji had already led the horse forward. With a small smile on his face, he gave Shuo Tuo a big hug and said with a hearty smile: "Brother Shuo Tuo has suffered a lot with the Han people. When we get to Heshuote, we have to
Just like home.”
After saying that, he patted Shuo Tuo's back hard to show his intimacy.
Yue Tuo was about to speak, but suddenly at this moment, he saw Shuo Tuo's cheeks flushed, and with a "pop" sound, he spit out a mouthful of bright red blood, which immediately stained Dorji's neck and clothes.
"Brother!" Yue Tuo's expression changed drastically and he said in shock. He quickly took Shuo Tuo's hand and checked Shuo Tuo's condition.
Dorji's face also darkened and he was a little dumbfounded.
What the hell is going on with this bitch?
There was an innocent expression on his big face. He raised his hand. Was it because he had used too much force just now?
But that’s not the case, right? Vomiting blood after just one tap?
At this moment, Shuo Tuo was breathing rapidly, his face was like gold paper, and he was vomiting blood non-stop, like a broken bellows. He made a "ho ho" sound from his mouth, which seemed to have injured the lung meridian and the liver.
Yue Tuo looked anxious and said anxiously: "Brother, what...what's going on?"
Zhang Shang, who was not far away, was a little panicked when he saw this, and said: "This seems to be a sign of poisoning."
Yue Tuo suddenly realized this and became furious. He cursed angrily: "Despicable and shameless Han people! Duke Wei, Jia Heng! Despicable!"
This is poisoning his brother. How can these Han people be so despicable and shameless?
At this moment, Shuo Tuo vomited several mouthfuls of blood and was obviously unable to hold on. He tilted his head and died.
"Brother!" Yue Tuan exclaimed, already crying bitterly, with resentment welling up in his heart.
Too many people from the Aixinjueluo clan have been killed by Duke Wei!
At this moment, Dorji put down his big hand like a cattail leaf fan. A trace of embarrassment flashed across his face at first. He looked at Yue Tuan, who was lying on the corpse and crying bitterly, and sighed heavily.
At this time, Zhang Shang was listening to Yue Tuo scolding the Han people, his face looked a little defeated, and he was worried.
Shuo Tuo was poisoned to death, but he was safe and sound. Would Yue Tuo suspect that he had defected to the Han court?
No, with Yue Tuo's intelligence, it is impossible not to see such a clumsy strategy.
At this moment, the generals and commanders of Heshuote Mongolia who were present also looked at Yue Tuan, who was lying on his body and crying bitterly. Their hearts were filled with sadness, but also they were moved by the friendship between the two brothers.
Thanks to the leader of the book friend "Shiny Skull" for the reward!
