Tuotuobuhua personally supervised and beheaded five hundred officers, and returned to Zhu Qizhen to report.

"According to His Majesty's orders, all the leaders of the rebel army have been beheaded!"

Zhu Qizhen said slowly: "Pass down the order, rest on the spot tonight, and continue northward tomorrow morning!"

Tuotuo Buhua was a little puzzled, and asked, "Why does Your Majesty... still go north?"

At this time, shouldn't he return to the capital?

If you drag on any longer, the throne will be taken away from you!

Zhu Qizhen looked to the north and said: "Sang Chi from the Wara tribe led the attack. I will destroy him first and then return to Beijing!"

Tuotuobuhua knew the Oala tribe better, so he asked, "Is Sang Chi the leader of Duerbote?"

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and said: "I haven't got the exact information yet, so far I'm just speculating that the only one who can gather tens of thousands of cavalry is Duerbert's Sang Chi."

Tuotuobuhua lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said: "My suggestion, we should go straight to the capital, and then deal with Sang Chi."

"Don't be so troublesome!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand, and said: "The opponent's strategy is to use Mobeiwei to hold back the Three Thousand Battalion, Sang Chi to hold back the Beihaiwei, and then let your troops deal with me, link by link, but as long as one of them If there is a problem in one link, the whole situation will be reversed."

"In the past, Sang Chi's troops cooperated with Mobei Guard to besiege Bei Hai Wei, but now it's Zhen and Bei Hai Wei who are besieging Sang Chi, he can't hold on!"

Tuotuo Buhua didn't say any more, and saluted: "Please obey the holy will!"

Facing Zhu Qizhen's indifference, he secretly rejoiced that he made the right bet this time.

People's greed is limitless. As a king, one should not be too kind, otherwise those ministers will push forward and get greedy, which will eventually lead to this rebellion.

He hated this young emperor to the bone, but in this position, any decision should be made based on consideration of the overall situation, not his own wishes.

The officials in the Ming court each had [-] minds, and it was certain to work hard for them and kill the donkey. The difference was how the donkey was killed, whether it was steamed, braised, or made into a fire.

Only by betting on the young emperor can the Tatar tribe hope to survive.

If you lose, you might as well die. Thinking about the life you have lived in the past five years, you might as well die!
At this moment, Yuan Bin came forward suddenly: "Your Majesty, Atulu begs to see you!"

Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen suddenly swept the chill off his face and said, "Let him come over."

"Yes!"

Yuan Bin went down to deliver the decree, and soon led Arturu back to return.

Behind the two of them, a tall man followed.

Judging from his clothes, he seems to be a soldier of Mobeiwei.

"Kill the emperor!"

"Kill the emperor!"

Atulu and the man knelt down and saluted, Zhu Qizhen took a step forward, and stretched out his hand to support Atulu's arm.

"Brother Arturu, get up and answer!"

Atulu didn't dare to let the emperor help him, so he hurriedly stood up, but the person behind him didn't dare to move, so he had to kneel.

"Your Majesty, I... grassroots..."

Zhu Qizhen laughed and said, "If you have anything to do, just speak up!"

This kind of treatment made Tuotuo Buhua secretly envious in his heart, when he was fighting just now, this person was brave, but... what is his background, he can call the emperor a brother?
Even himself, the former Dayuan Khan, can only obediently surrender now.

In this way, people still like to ignore it.

This is based on the fact that the two have common interests and thus reach a cooperation.

Atulu pointed to the man behind him and said, "Your Majesty, he is my old friend, Zhe Sutai."

Zhu Qizhen looked towards Zhesutai, his face became gloomy again, and asked, "Are you from Mobeiwei?"

"Yes Yes……"

Zhe Sutai didn't dare to look up, and kept wiping his sweat with his hands while talking.

Zhu Qizhen looked at him coldly, and said, "For Arturu's sake, I will give you a chance, tell me, what do you want?"

Zhe Sutai still lowered his head, seemingly embarrassed.

Artulu became anxious, and said, "Zhesutai, speak up!"

"My……"

"Oh man!"

Arturu is a straightforward person, seeing Zhe Sutai like this, he couldn't stand it immediately.

"I, I...is..."

"What did you tell me just now? Tell the emperor!"

Zhe Sutai punched the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I...we refuse to accept it!"

Zhu Qizhen immediately lowered his face, just now he only killed the officers, not ordinary soldiers, are you still not convinced?
Upon hearing this, Atulu quickly explained: "The emperor calm down, he didn't mean that!"

Zhu Qizhen asked back, "What does that mean?"

"He, he is..."

Artulu was also a rough man, he couldn't help kicking him, and said, "What did you just say?"

Then Zhe Sutai said: "We didn't know that Gula had rebelled, and everyone thought he was suppressing the rebellion!"

Atulu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Your Majesty, I know many people in Mobeiwei. They are always grateful to the Emperor and the court, and they will not lie."

With a sullen face, Zhu Qizhen asked again: "How did Gula tell you?"

Zhe Sutai swallowed his saliva, and said: "Go back to the emperor, we ordinary people can't see Gula, the leading officer said that someone rebelled, let us go to suppress the rebellion, everyone will desperately protect the emperor, and then, just... that's it !"

Zhu Qizhen chuckled lightly and said, "That's why I didn't kill you."

"But...we feel aggrieved. Everyone worked hard for the emperor, but in the end they found out that they were cheated. Not only did they have no credit, but they became rebels. What's the matter?"

"What do you want?"

"We will follow the emperor and settle accounts with those rebellious bastards!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded secretly in his heart. Thinking about it, in Mobeiwei, there are not a few rough guys like Zhesutai. They found themselves being used as gunmen, and they were eager to prove their innocence.

"Well, I'll give you a chance!"

Zhu Qizhen pondered for a while, and then said: "Artulu, listen to the order!"

Arturu was startled, and hurriedly bowed down, but didn't know what to say.

"From now on, the Qing family will be promoted to the Commander of the Mobei Guard, and we will reorganize the troops overnight. Tomorrow morning, we will go north with me to suppress the rebellion!"

"what?"

Arturu was stunned, what's the matter?
Zhu Qizhen thought he didn't understand, so he explained: "You are now the commander of the Mobei Guard handpicked by me. If you are willing to follow me to fight the rebellion, you will stay in Mobei Guard. If you don't want to, you can Find your own way out, I will not force you."

Arturu's mind went blank, Mobeiwei Commander...how old is he?

But Zhe Sutai became excited and said: "Please rest assured, the emperor, most people in the army are willing to follow the emperor to suppress the rebellion, and express their anger. I will go and tell everyone the news now!"

Atulu was suddenly promoted to such a high position, and he instinctively wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, there are people who are rebelling now, and the emperor needs people by his side, so he must stand up right now, and lead the remaining troops of Mobei Guard to help the emperor Counterinsurgency is the most important thing.

Yuan Bin reminded in a low voice: "Don't accept the order to thank you yet?"

It was only then that Atulu came to his senses, knelt on the ground, and said in his mouth: "I... my minister Arturu took the order to thank you, long live the emperor!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "Mobeiwei will be handed over to you, don't let me down."

Artulu pressed his right hand to his chest, and solemnly said: "Your Majesty, I... I am a rough man and don't understand etiquette, but as long as the emperor orders things, I will never frown even if my body is smashed to pieces!"

That night, the soldiers of Mobei Guard assembled again. According to statistics, there were 300 soldiers in total.

After they learned that they were cheated, they all behaved the same way as Zhe Sutai, and they were furious, wishing they hadn't been able to kill Gula with their own hands.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Qizhen led the [-] battalion, Mobeiwei and Tatar tribes to continue northward.

At this time, the Oala Department finally realized that the situation was wrong. It was supposed to surround others, but now it was surrounded, and the situation was very unfavorable.

Although they have [-] cavalry, they are superior in number, but their weapons and equipment are too backward. Except for a small amount of smuggled firearms, most of them use bows, crossbows and swords.

In the case of unequal combat power, the numerical advantage has become a disadvantage.

Because a large quantity means more supplies are needed. At this time, the Orkhon City has been taken back by the imperial court, and the dry food that I carry with me is enough for three days. If there is no new supply after three days, there is no need for others to fight. mutiny.

Now Sang Chi faces two choices, one is to go back the same way, and go back where he came from.

The second is to break through the siege of the Ming army, rely on the speed advantage of the cavalry to rush to the capital, and help Yang Hong and others capture the capital. In this way, the emperor can be shut out, as long as the ministers of the Ming court support the crown prince , Now the emperor is abolished.

Sang Chi thought about it, but he really didn't want to go back so uselessly, so he ordered to break through to the east with all his strength.

However, just as his order was issued, and before his subordinates had time to carry it out, there were bursts of low-pitched shelling from the east.

Soon scouts came to report that a troop appeared in the east. Judging from the banners, it turned out to be Mohewei thousands of miles away.

Sang Chi suddenly doubted his life. Didn't Mohewei go to war?
Why is it here?

Damn, who provided the information, this is going to kill people!
He even had a thought, was he being deceived?

Didn't you say yes, come and pick up the cheap ones?

Why do I now feel that I am being picked up by others...

The army to the east was Mohewei, led by Qianhe Jingyuan, following the trail of the Tatar tribe all the way.

When they arrived, Zhu Qizhen passed down an order to intercept them from the east to prevent Sang Chi's people from fleeing to the hinterland of the grassland.

After all, it is a cavalry team, and it is difficult to chase after running.

For a while, Sang Chi was surrounded by south, north, and east sides. Although the number of the opponent was not dominant, there were only a few thousand people in each direction, but the equipment was several grades worse.

People have guns and cannons, but my side is still dominated by knives and bows, so there is no way to fight this battle.

In desperation, Sang Chi had to order the withdrawal of troops.

Although he was very unwilling, but... there was no other way, he couldn't fight again and again, and the food and grass were cut off. If he didn't withdraw, he could only wait for death.

In front of the Chinese army, Yu Qian hurried over.

"Your Majesty, I am late to save you..."

"Okay, let's get down to business!"

Zhu Qizhen interrupted him impatiently, for some reason, he was not polite to Yu Qian at all.

Yu Qian swallowed the rest of the words back, and then said: "The minister and Juluhou learned of each other's true intentions, and immediately led Mohewei to chase after him, but it was still a step too late..."

"emperor……"

While the two were talking, Tuotuo walked into the big tent without taking big strides. Yu Qian turned his head to look, and was suddenly shocked.

"You, you are..."

"My lord, I have long admired you!"

Tuotuobuhua clasped his fists to signal that the two were old rivals. They had met each other during Emperor Xuanzong's Northern Expedition.

Yu Qian's face was pale, he subconsciously stood in front of Zhu Qizhen, and said, "Tuo Tuo Bu Hua, why is it you?"

"Don't be nervous!"

Zhu Qizhen patted him on the shoulder and said, "He is our ally."

Yu Qian obviously still can't accept this fact. How come the mortal enemy he and Jing Yuan chased all the way became allies?
Zhu Qizhen gave a rough introduction to the current situation, and only then did Yu Qian understand why the emperor was able to escape from the enemy's series of tricks and gather troops to counterattack.

In this conspiracy, the role of the Tatar Ministry is very critical.

Whether it is Wala Sangchi or Mobei Weigula, they are just paving the way for the Tatar Ministry.

The people who planned this coup were very smart. They didn't want to bear the name of regicide, so they needed a knife.

If you borrow a knife to kill someone, you won't be caught off guard.

Unexpectedly, this knife finally fell into the hands of the emperor and became a butcher knife for the rebels.

"Your Majesty, there is still one thing I don't know."

"speak!"

Yu Qian frowned slightly, and said: "Sang Chi's troops are only superior in number, and their combat power cannot compete with ours. Why don't they surround and wipe them out, but give them a way out?"

Zhu Qizhen smiled lightly and said: "You are still the Minister of the Ministry of War, don't you understand the tactics of encircling three ques and one?"

Yu Qian suddenly realized, saluted and said: "I understand!"

Originally thought that the emperor was afraid of the opponent's strength and did not dare to fight head-on with it, as long as he was forced to retreat, the strategic goal had been achieved.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that the emperor had no intention of letting them go back alive!

Surrounding three ques and one is a tactic. If surrounded on all sides during combat, the enemy may see nowhere to escape and resist desperately.

The so-called mourning soldiers must win, if a person is driven to a desperate situation, the fighting power that will erupt is unimaginable.

However, if surrounded on three sides and leave one side open to allow the enemy to escape, it is easy to lose fighting spirit and be wiped out during the escape.

This tactic is designed to restrain the underdogs who are "put to death" and keep them hopeful. The purpose is to prevent them from gathering the courage to fight to the last ditch, and in the end they can pay the smallest price and obtain the greatest victory.

Zhu Qizhen looked at Tuotuobuhua and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Tuotuo didn't spend anything and didn't make any detours, he said bluntly: "I heard that Mohewei has arrived, is it the emperor's order to make Duoyan Sanwei also withdraw?"

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "The decree has been passed on, don't worry, I promised you that as long as I am still the emperor of Ming Dynasty, there will be a place for you to live in this world."
