Like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, the news that Prince Bu Shitu was going to sign a peace agreement with the Ming army suddenly shocked the entire Tatar camp.
For ordinary soldiers and leaders of small tribes, it is indeed a great news that they do not have to fight. It means that they can return to their tribes, reunite with their wives and children, and live that warm little life. Every day In each war, they served as cannon fodder at the front, but the benefits after victory did not fall on them. They had no enthusiasm for fighting. Now that they heard that there was no need to fight, how could they not be ecstatic?
Ji Li Tu and some other big leaders were at a loss when they heard the news. They didn't know whether Bu Shi Tu had taken the wrong medicine or why he had brought tens of thousands of people all the way here, but suddenly stopped fighting and even talked to him. What agreement did the Ming army sign? They have not seen the details of the agreement, but judging from various signs, the Ming army did not agree to withdraw from the grassland. In other words, this was an agreement at the expense of their interests.
"Your Majesty, why didn't we fight?" Zhuli Tu rushed to Bu Shitu's tent as soon as he heard the news and asked Bu Shitu.
"Master Jilitu, don't be impatient. Come on, let me introduce you to Mr. Li Zhi, a great scholar of the Ming Dynasty. Mr. Li's knowledge has always been something I respect very much." Bu Shitu Yi With a calm demeanor, he was actually in the mood to introduce his idol to Litu.
"I have met Mr. Li." Zhu Litu hugged Li Zhi as a greeting. But his eyes were still fixed on Bu Shitu: "Your Majesty, what agreement do we want to sign with Ming Ren? When will Ming Ren agree to withdraw from the grassland?"
Bu Shitu said: "I have already figured out this matter. This time the Ming army entered the grassland purely to hunt down the rebellious Kuaibai, and was not aimed at our Tatar tribe. As for their mining and vegetable planting on the grassland, , are here to help us Tatars, we have to accept their kindness."
"This..." Zhuli Tu was stunned. He could hardly believe that this was what Bu Shitu said. After a while, he finally remembered and turned to look at Li Zhi. Because he realized that this inconspicuous little old man was the one who Divination of the reason why Shitutu changed his stance.
Li Zhi smiled slightly and said: "Chief Zhonglitu, I know that there are some misunderstandings between you and Deputy General Su. Some things just need to be discussed. I am coming to the Tatar camp this time. Deputy General Su The soldier asked me to express his apology to Chief Litu for all the previous offenses. He also asked me to bring a gift..."
Having said this, he clapped his hands, raised the curtain of the big tent, and Su Hao's personal soldier captain Xiong Minfan walked in holding a box, and walked straight in front of Litu.
"This is the gift given to the chief by Deputy General Su, please take a look at it," Li Zhi said.
Zhuli Rabbit frowned. He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't bear his curiosity and wanted to know what Su Hao had given him. In his heart, there was a vague thought: If the thing Su Hao gave him was good, then he couldn't bear to be with Su Hao. It's not impossible for Hao to care.
The soldiers beside Zhulitu came forward and took the box from Xiong Minfan. He placed it on the ground, opened it, and took out a dark chainmail armor. At first glance, the workmanship of the chainmail armor was very good. It's fine, indeed of the highest quality. But no matter how fine it is, a piece of chain mail is not a very valuable thing. There was some disappointment and displeasure on the face of the rabbit.
"This chainmail is made of high-manganese steel wire. This high-manganese steel is exclusively created by our deputy general soldier. It is made from 7749 kinds of top-secret minerals. It is extremely tough and is a priceless treasure. Big If the leader doesn't believe it, he can chop the chainmail armor with a knife, but the general has his word first. If the leader's sword is broken, don't blame the general." Xiong Minfan followed what Li Zhi had taught him before and said to him. Jilitu said.
"Gao Meng Gang?" Zhu Litu was a little surprised. He had never heard of this name. He looked up at Bu Shitu who was sitting in the handsome position. He saw a smile on Bu Shitu's face and knew that Bu Shitu had a smile on his face. Rabbit must have received the same gift and was quite satisfied with it. Thinking of this, he actually took out his saber from his waist and swung it at the chainmail armor held by the soldier.
"Clang!" There was a sound of metal collision. The chainmail shook in the hands of the soldiers for a while, but it did not get a cut as Zhulitu imagined. It looked like it was only as thick as a straw. The steel wire was able to withstand the strenuous chopping of Zhongli Rabbit, which surprised Zhongli Rabbit and made him feel happy at the same time. He looked down at his saber and found that there were several gaps on the blade, which further confirmed that the lock was locked. How hard is the texture of the armor?
"Good armor!" Zhuli Rabbit couldn't help but praise, with a smile on his face. He turned around, hugged Li Zhi again, and said, "Mr. Li, please go back and tell General Su that Zhuli Rabbit thanks him very much." The gift of armor.”
The Tatars have always been short of metal, let alone high-quality metal. The chain armor Su Hao sent was made of high-manganese steel that surpassed the technological level of the year. In Julitu's view, it was simply a priceless treasure. Such a piece of armor can protect the rabbit from harm in the midst of thousands of troops. It is not an exaggeration to say that it gives the rabbit a life.
Su Hao was able to make such an expression, and the hatred towards Su Hao in Zhulitu's heart suddenly dropped to almost zero. The fight between the Tatars and the Ming army was extremely common, and no one would Remember these war grudges unforgettable.
Li Zhi looked at Li Tu's expression of joy and secretly admired Su Hao's generosity. At the same time, he was amused by Li Tu's confusion. This kind of chain armor was indeed a life-saving weapon in the cold weapon era. But for the Ming army, which has superior firearms, this is almost a decoration. Just imagine, if the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars resumes, and the Ming army bombards them with one cannon, the rabbit can resist even if it is covered with steel armor. What to live in?
"Zhuli Rabbit accepts this kind intention of gifting armor. However, the Ming army's offense against our grassland is non-negotiable. Please go back and tell General Su, Mr. Li, that it is only for you..." Zhuli Rabbit said this and hesitated for a moment. , he didn't know how many days should be given to the Ming army. If he said too little, he would be a little sorry for this precious chain armor; if he said too much, he would seem to have lost his ambition.
At this time, Bu Shitu spoke. He said: "Brother Jilitu, you haven't understood General Su's intention. It's better to sit down and listen to what Mr. Li has to say, and then make a decision."
"Then... Mr. Li, please tell me." Zhuli Rabbit sat down on the side, and at the same time took the chain armor from the soldier's hand and played with it fondly.
Li Zhi then told Li Tu what he had said to Bu Shi Tu before. Of course, it involved some behind-the-scenes transactions with Bu Shi Tu. Naturally, he hid it and did not mention it. Zhu Li Tu listened for a while. Gradually, he understood what Su Hao meant, and smelled the benefits that he could gain from it, and felt a little relieved.
"What does the prince mean?" Zhu Li Rabbit turned to Bu Shi Rabbit and asked.
Bu Shitu said: "As early as when my ancestor Anda Khan was still alive, we Mongolia signed an agreement with the Ming Dynasty to not invade each other and exchange what we have. Today's King Shunyi and Mrs. Zhongshun also teach us that we must cooperate with the Ming Dynasty. Ming and Ming Dynasties live in harmony. It was the traitor Kuaibai who provoked the conflict between me and Ming Dynasty, causing both of us to suffer losses. Fortunately, Deputy General Su has great wisdom and is willing to put aside our past grudges. Is there anything wrong with this king? The reason for the promise.”
"But Ming is treacherous. What if he uses this as a cover to infiltrate into our grassland?" Zhuli Rabbit reminded.
Bu Shitu said: "We Mongolians are not fools. Can't we still see who is the good guy and who is the bad guy? Besides, if tens of thousands of Han people infiltrate into our grassland, what hindrance can we have to us? We Mongolians They make a living by herding. The Han people make a living by farming. We don’t interfere with the water in the well, so what’s there to fear?”
"Your Majesty is far-sighted, and I admire it." Zhuli Rabbit knew that Bu Shitu had made up his mind, so he could only nod and accept. He had suffered losses in several battles with Su Hao before, so he could no longer fight with Su Hao. It is also a relief. What's more, according to what Li Zhi said, if the two parties cooperate, in addition to being able to get permission from the cooperation, Bu Shitu will also get a lot of benefits. Between making money and fighting wars When choosing one, does he have any other considerations?
"Come here, say goodbye!" Bu Shitu saw that Litu also agreed to the plan to cooperate with the Ming army, and immediately issued new orders to the soldiers around him. Xia Bangxing and Li Zhi sat below and looked at each other. Smiles appeared on their faces. They knew that this was Bu Shitu's intention to express his determination to Su Hao, and Kuai Bai was naturally the victim in this transaction.
After a while, Kuaibai was brought into the camp by several soldiers of the Lost Rabbit. He was now a homeless dog, living under someone else's roof. He had long lost the arrogant momentum he had before. When he saw the Lost Rabbit, he quickly knelt down and showed respect. He kowtowed several times.
"Your Majesty, what are your orders when you announce your appointment?" Kuaibai asked.
Bu Shitu took a look at the case in front of him and shouted: "Baibai, do you know the crime?"
Kuaibai was stunned and said quickly: "I don't know what I have done wrong. Please tell me."
Bu Shitu said: "You were a Tatar rebel general, and the Ming Dynasty took you in, but you rebelled against the Ming Dynasty. After the defeat, you fled to the grassland, trying to put the blame on our Tatar tribe and implicate our Tatar tribe. We met with soldiers from the Ming army and suffered casualties on each other. Tell me, are you guilty of an unpardonable crime?"
"This..." Kuaibai's eyes widened. He turned around and saw Li Zhi at a glance. Although he didn't know Li Zhi, he could recognize him from Li Zhi's attire. He must have come from the Ming Dynasty. Recalling the rumor that Bu Shitu and Su Hao had signed a peace agreement, Kuai Bai couldn't help but be shocked.
"Your Majesty, you must not listen to the rhetoric of Shinaki. The Han people often say that those who are not of my race will have different hearts. They have never regarded us Tatars as their own, and have always wanted to put us Tatars to death. If your Majesty, Reconciliation with the Ming Dynasty will definitely lead to troubles, and will eventually be destroyed by the Ming Dynasty..." Kuai Bai cried out.
"Shut up!" Bu Shitu yelled, "Come here, tie up this traitor and send him to the Ming Dynasty camp, and let Ming Dynasty do whatever he wants!"
"My lord, please spare my life! My lord, I want you to be a Tatar..." Kuaibai cried out and kowtowed to Bu Shitu desperately to beg for mercy.
How could Bu Shitu take Kuai Bai's plea for mercy to heart? He waved his hand, and several soldiers around him rushed forward and held Kuai Bai down. Someone took out a rope and planned to tie Kuai Bai up.
Kuaibai knew that his little life had been given to Su Hao by Divination Lost Rabbit as a gift. If he was sent to Su Hao's hands, his fate could be imagined. As a traitor general, the Ming court judged
There is a possibility of him being executed in a languid manner.
At this time, Kuai Bai could only fight like a trapped beast. He stood up, spread his arms, and immediately threw away the two Bu Shitu soldiers who rushed to him. At the same time, his hand was on
Around his waist, a soft sword suddenly appeared in his hand.
When Kuaibai was brought into the camp, he was disarmed, but Bu Shitu's soldiers had little knowledge and did not know that there was a soft sword in the world that could be worn around the waist as a belt. Kuaibai was a vigilant person.
, knowing that his life would be in danger at any time when he defected to the Zhuli Rabbit Camp, so he carried this soft sword with him wherever he went. At this time of life and death, he didn't bother to cover up, and just pulled out the sword.
come out.
"Protect the prince!"
Several soldiers quickly stood in front of Bu Shitu, fearing that Kuai Bai would suddenly attack and hurt Bu Shitu.
Kuaibai narrowed his eyes, looked at Bu Shitu, and sneered: "Your Majesty, Kuaibai doesn't want to embarrass you. I just want to ask Your Majesty to allow me to chop down the messenger of Ming Dynasty, and then let me fly away. If Your Majesty doesn't agree,
If you risk your life, you will die together with everyone in this tent."
"This..." Bu Shitu was a little panicked. Just now, Kuaibai had thrown away two of his soldiers. His martial arts was so high that it was really not possible for the few soldiers in this tent to stop him.
It can be tolerated. If Kuai Bai really goes all out, Bu Shitu's life will be in danger. But when it comes to agreeing to the condition of Kuai Bai, asking Kuai Bai to kill Li Zhi, Bu Shitu can't agree either, because this means that
The agreement between him and Su Hao could no longer be signed.
Seeing Bu Shitu's expression, Kuaibai knew that he had suppressed Bu Shitu. What he wanted was Bu Shitu's momentary loss of consciousness, because at this time, Bu Shitu's soldiers were only focused on protecting him.
If you miss the rabbit, you will definitely not make things difficult for him.
"Mingchen, I don't know who you are. You came here to sow discord between me and the prince. Don't blame me for being ruthless!" Kuai Bai said, straightening up his sword and stabbing Li Zhi.
"impeach!"
Just hearing the sound of a gunshot, Kuai Bai, who had just taken a step forward, suddenly fell backwards, and the soft sword fell out of his hand. Seeing this, Bu Shitu's soldiers could not miss the opportunity, so they hurriedly stepped forward.
, several swords pierced Kuaibai's chest at the same time, pinning him firmly to the ground.
