At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 462 Foreign Enemies
After Qi Qike interrogated these horse thieves, he still didn't find anything.

In fact, Xu Guangliang did have some clues, but due to the reputation of Jin Yiwei, he dared not say it even if he was killed.

What's more, he didn't know that the person who was following Jin Yiwei's commander was the emperor.

Qiqike had no choice but to return to Orkhon City with Zhang Yi.

Cao Nai and Kuang Ye waited for a long time, and they were even more dejected when they saw that they returned without success.

Seeing the three elders looking as if they were mourning, Xi Qike persuaded: "My lords, don't worry, nothing will happen to the emperor!"

Cao Nai was puzzled and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Qi Qike said: "Which thief in this world has harmed the emperor? Please rest assured, the emperor must have made arrangements."

Cao Nai paused, then asked again: "What kind of arrangement, why didn't you inform us in advance?"

At this moment, an officer of the Mobei Guard stepped forward and whispered something in Xiqike's ear.

Cao Nai immediately became nervous: "What are you mumbling about?"

Qiqike's face changed, but he didn't speak.

When Cao Nai saw this, he thought something was wrong, so he hurried forward and asked, "What news do you need to tell behind your back? Even if the sky is falling, you must tell us!"

Qiqike could only wave his hands and said, "Gula, tell me!"

"Yes, Master Commander!"

The officer standing behind her was Gula, who was the commander of Mobeiwei, and said immediately: "My lords, I just received the news that a group of people were found in Huluntai Town, five hundred miles away. Cavalry of unknown origin!"

"what?"

Kuang Ye jumped up immediately and asked, "How many people are there? What equipment?"

Gula shook his head and said, "These people are extremely cautious and only act at night. Our informants dare not get too close. It is said that there are roughly 2000 people."

"One or two thousand, cavalry?"

As a former Minister of the Ministry of War, Kuang Ye is very sensitive to the situation on the battlefield.

The imperial court set up five guards along the Onan River from west to east. How could there be cavalry on the grassland?
Then contacting the emperor's current whereabouts are unknown, suddenly, a bad thought came to my mind.

"Quickly get the map, where is Huluntai Town?"

Gula looked at Xiqike, who nodded slightly.

He took a map from the side, spread it out, and circled the location of Huluntai Town.

Kuang Ye was almost lying on the map, and Cao Nai and Zhang Yi also looked solemn.

Qi Qike rolled his eyes and asked, "Is there anyone from the Ministry of War?"

Kuang Ye raised his head, looked behind him, and said, "Wu Heng, come here!"

Minister of the Ministry of War Yu Qian went to the front line, and the left servant stayed in the capital. This time, it was Wu Heng, the right servant of the Ministry of War, who followed Cao Nai and others.

Hearing the old leader's call, Wu Heng hurried forward: "The next official is here!"

"How come there are cavalry in this place?"

Wu Heng stared at the map for a while, then shook his head and said, "There is no arrangement from the Ministry of War, so I guess it's not the soldiers and horses of the imperial court!"

Everyone talked about it, and things became more and more serious.

Because it is impossible for cavalry to appear here!
From Beihaiwei to Mohewei, a solid line of defense was built. Where did these people come from?

Wu Heng seemed to realize something, and said, "It is also possible that the forces of Duoyan Sanwei and Mohewei will attack the Tatars in the north, and there will be gaps in the Onanhe defense line..."

Kuang Ye then said: "Even if the number of troops on the defense line is reduced, thousands of cavalry cannot be allowed to break into the hinterland of the desert, unless..."

Everyone also reacted one after another. The army had just set off, and the enemy broke through the defense line. It must have been premeditated, and someone responded from it!
Kuang Ye's eyes fell on Xi Qike, and Qi Qike also reacted, dissatisfied: "Master Kuang, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean?"

Kuang Ye sneered, and said, "Duoyan Sanwei and Mohewei had just set off, and a large number of unidentified cavalry entered the hinterland of Ming Dynasty. Please explain to me!"

"What am I explaining?"

Qiqike raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "I just learned that, besides, Huluntai is not under the jurisdiction of Mobeiwei at all, so what does it have to do with me?"

Kuang Ye pointed at the map and said, "The remnants of the Tuotuobuhua Tatars are in the Yecha Kingdom. Now this group of cavalry is pointing directly at Mobeiwei. Don't you need to explain?"

"Okay!"

Qiqike is also a violent person, so he immediately said: "In this case, I will count the troops and horses, and fight to the death with the enemy, Gula!"

"exist!"

"Assemble troops and horses immediately, and follow this command to go out!"

"Yes!"

"Wait!"

Kuang Ye interrupted suddenly and said: "Lord Cao, Lord Zhang, and Minister Wu, I propose that before the situation becomes clear, we should suspend the position of Commander Xiqike."

Now that the whereabouts of the emperor are unknown, and unidentified cavalrymen have entered the desert, if you lead your troops out to conquer the enemy, or conquer the emperor?
Qi Qike was unwilling, and said: "Master Kuang, if you want to dismiss me, it means that I am guilty, please show me the evidence!"

Kuang Ye said coldly: "These cavalry are clearly coming for you, what evidence do you need?"

Qi Qike couldn't hold back any longer, pointed at Kuang Ye's nose and cursed: "Don't rely on the old man here, I am the commander of the Mobei Guard, and I was appointed by the emperor. Why do you want to dismiss me? ?”

At this time, Cao Nai stepped forward and said: "This is a big matter, Qi Qike, you have relieved you of the duties of commander for the time being, and we will not make things difficult for you. When the truth of the matter is found out, if it really has nothing to do with you, then we will take care of you." Give you justice."

Qi Qike said angrily: "Unless there is an imperial decree from the emperor, no one can come today!"

Kuang Ye raised his eyes and asked the crowd, "Is anyone here from the Ministry of Officials?"

This time out of Beijing, mainly the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites, because it may involve the transfer of troops, the right servant of the Ministry of War also followed.

However, there was nothing to do with the official department, so they only sent a chief to follow.

"Qiu Tong, the head of the Ministry of Officials, what orders does Mr. Kuang have?"

Kuang Ye said: "Immediately issue a document of appointment and dismissal, and temporarily remove Qiqi Kemo from the post of commander of the Northern Guard."

Qiu Tong looked at the crowd and said, "Lord Kuang, if there is no seal of the Supervisor of Rituals, it is invalid even if it is a document from the Ministry of Officials."

Kuang Ye frowned and said, "At an extraordinary time, you should do something extraordinary. Duke Cao and Duke Zhang in the cabinet are here. With their signatures, it is not your responsibility to wait until the emperor asks about it!"

Qiu Tong had no choice but to nod his head and said, "I'll draft the document now!"

Qiqike had endured to the extreme and said, "Gula, drive these people out!"

Gula stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "The most urgent task is to find the emperor and eliminate the foreign enemies. Please commander and envoy take the overall situation first!"

"you……"

Qiqike pointed at Gula, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"very good!"

Kuang Ye finally showed a smile on his face, and said to Gula: "From now on, you will be the temporary commander!"
