Chapter 88 Expedition to the West (Battle of Qinghai-Tibet 11)
The scouts have been sent out for more than 300 miles. Judging from the information returned, it is too quiet. It has never been so quiet. Even in the sparsely populated Qiangtang Plateau, this is a very abnormal phenomenon. Fifteen thousand people
Entering the Tibetan area, it was as quiet as a drop of water falling into the sea. This silence made Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) feel nervous all over his body.
Is this the calm before the storm? Is this the brief moment of tranquility before a lion hunts?
Is this trip to Qinghai-Tibet a big conspiracy? When he came to Qiangtang from Yili Prefecture, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) received three secret letters from his father, which were written with developing potion.
There was no objection, and he was encouraged to make more achievements.
Wait for a while, wait for a while, let me think about it, think about it. My father will never say something like "let him make great achievements again". From his character, the most he can say is "
"Be careful". Thinking of this, Baoyu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that these secret letters were fake?
I opened the secret letter again, smeared it with developing potion again, and looked at it carefully. Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) was sweating. There was no imprint of Father's latest password. It was the original old mark. These three secret letters
They are all fake, which means that the method I taught my old father has been cracked.
Is this "Operation Qinghai-Tibet" really a big conspiracy?
But the intelligence on the Qinghai rebellion is true, the emperor's edict is true, the court documents are true, and all military preparations are true... Where does the problem arise? This is the world, 99% of the time
It's all true, but as long as one percent is false, then it is false.
Looking at these three fake secret letters, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) lamented in his heart, "I am still too proud, too arrogant!"
A huge net seemed to be overwhelmingly covering Baoyu. It had reached this point and he couldn't escape even if he wanted to. Besides, Baoyu was not a person who wanted to run away easily.
"Qinghai Rebellion", "Qiangtang Sacred Mountain", "Little Danzhu", "Dafu", "Obai"..."The Empress Dowager", "Little Emperor" and other images are like movie clips in Baoyu (Burning)
Xiaoshi) flashed in his mind, and Baoyu tried hard to find out the flaws, but the whole "plan" seemed so perfect that Baoyu had to be suspicious. Where did the problem lie?
This "calm" must be broken!
"Come here, arrest Mr. Dafu!" Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) issued the first order at the temporary two-person pre-army meeting.
Master Dafu seemed to be very calm. He kowtowed to Baoyu and stood up and said, "Sir, no need. I knew this day would come."
"I just want to know the reason."
"It is the Queen Mother who wants to kill you. Without the Queen Mother's decree, no one would dare to touch you."
"Why?"
"Didn't your Excellency say that if you are too weird, you will become a monster? In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, you are a monster. Moreover, the Qintian Supervisor has calculated your fate countless times but has not calculated your fate. He also said that your fate is
A mass of mist is like a dragon wandering in the sky. Its source and whereabouts are unknown at all. This is the main reason why the Emperor Taihui and the Queen Mother are afraid."
"Are you the Empress Dowager's secret envoy?"
"According to my understanding of your Excellency, even if a first-class imperial envoy comes, it will be of no use to you, Your Excellency, because you never believe in heaven or earth, you just believe in yourself. Although you talk about the Immortality Heaven
, But you never believe it. 'Those who have a will can achieve things, even if they break the cauldron and sink the boat, one hundred and two Qin Passes will eventually belong to Chu. People who work hard will not be let down by God. They will eat their courage by lying down, and three thousand Yue Jia can swallow Wu.', This is what you are doing in Yili, my lord.
The couplets I made while drunkenly passed down to the capital two months ago. After reading them, the Empress Dowager did not have a good meal for three days and nights... That’s what happened.”
This is a couplet given to Pu Songling by Yan Mai of the Qing Dynasty to praise him for his perseverance. Now it has been shamelessly stolen by Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi). Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a disaster. But Baoyu knew that even if it was not
In this couplet, the old woman, Queen Mother Xiaozhuang, will try her best to get rid of herself, because this old woman is a madman. For the sake of her son and grandson, she will not hesitate to let everyone in the world be buried with her, including herself.
If it was really the Empress Dowager who attacked him, this "Operation Qinghai" would really be a big conspiracy.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) now found it a bit interesting to have the actual supreme ruler of this dynasty worry about him like this and frame him like this.
I am originally a person who does not exist in this world at all. Even if he is Baoyu, he is the "Messenger of Shenying" in the sky, and he is also a divine figure who comes and goes without a trace.
"There is really a rebellion in Qinghai, right?"
"Yes, my lord."
"Is there anything else you need to say? I'm afraid the Queen Mother doesn't want you to go back from here either..."
Hearing Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi)'s words, Dafu's whole body trembled several times and said in a deep voice: "It is true that Qinghai Danba Tsering's rebellion is true, and it is also true that the imperial court wants to put down this rebellion, but the soldiers
The news of leaving Changtang had already reached Tenba Tsering, so... Qinghai is like a huge bag, just waiting for adults to dig into it... This is the Queen Mother's plan to kill two birds with one stone..."
"Haha... Why does Mr. Dafu think that the Queen Mother sent me here is a conspiracy? It doesn't seem to be the case. I am the general officially appointed by the court to suppress the rebellion in Qinghai. My mission is to destroy Damba Tsering.
Is that correct, Lord Dafoe?"
Master Dafu's huge body trembled violently again, "What you mean is...even if it is a conspiracy, as long as we complete the conspiracy and directly wipe out Tenpa Tsering, then the conspiracy will no longer be a conspiracy."
Yes, is that so?"
"This is also the only chance to save yourself... Even if you are lucky enough to escape this trap, don't forget that the Queen Mother will never let you live in this world again. You and I are the best community of interests. This
This kind of community relationship is the strongest... Take out all the poison in your arms. You are my retainer. For the secret order of the Empress Dowager, you want to kill me. You want to kill me and then commit suicide, but now
I’m afraid it won’t be used, because we will give the Queen Mother a big surprise!”
"Sir, with our fifteen thousand people, even with your advanced weapons, I'm afraid we can't deal with Tenpa Tsering's 500,000 Tibetan soldiers, and they also have red cannons that are half-sold and half-given by the court...
This is a death trap... Our only recourse is to go back..."
"There is no way to go back. More often than not, advancing means retreating. The character of our soldiers is to always move forward! Come on, Lord Dafu disobeys the commander's orders and is tied up and put into a prison car! Go ahead at full speed, three days before the Tibetan New Year.
, the troops are approaching Huining City!"
Lord Dafoe did not struggle this time. He knew that "violating military orders" and having the general imprisoned was the best way to save himself. He was already imprisoned, so everything that happened here had nothing to do with him.
Already.
(Whether Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) can escape the Empress Dowager’s “kill two birds with one stone” plan will be explained in the next episode.)
