A man dressed as an official hurriedly got out of the car and showed an official document from the Ministry of War. The staff on the platform did not dare to neglect and immediately led people to a special passage. There were prepared horses here, similar to a six-hundred-mile express station.
The guard at the city gate saw the flag behind the man and opened the gate to let him go without even asking.
In command of the Yamen, Cao Nai was just about to go to bed when he heard someone shouting outside.
"The Ministry of War is reporting urgently. Where is Cao Gong and Zhang Gong?"
When Cao Nai heard the urgent report from the Ministry of War, he immediately pulled up his shoes and pushed out the door.
"Is this a report from Tingyi?"
"Exactly, Yu Shangshu, Juluhou jointly reported to Cao Cao for his review!"
At this time, Zhang Yi, Kuang Ye and others also heard the sound and came over, staring closely at the report in Cao Nai's hand.
This time the army went out, both in terms of strength and equipment, it was overwhelming.
According to common sense, this battle should be pushed forward all the way and the remaining Tatar troops will be killed.
At this time, an urgent report was sent. There was something unusual, indicating that something must have happened.
And it's definitely not a good thing.
After Cao Nai opened it, he hurriedly scanned it and handed it to Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi took the report and frowned: "What are Tuotuo Buhua doing?"
Kuang Ye couldn't help but snatched it over. After looking at it, his expression immediately changed.
"Could that unidentified cavalry be the remnants of the Tatars?"
Cao Nai nodded solemnly and said: "According to what Tingyi and Juluhou said, in addition to Tatars, there are also Japanese and Jurchens. They came prepared!"
Kuang Ye was so angry that his beard exploded, and said: "These sons of bitches dare to sneak into the Ming Dynasty. Who gave them the courage?"
After some silence, Zhang Yi suddenly said: "Either they are crazy, or... there is an insider!"
Everyone's expressions were ugly, and the scene became quiet again.
Everyone present is a big boss in a high position, and with just a little thought, you can figure out the joints.
Tuo Tuo Bu Hua is not a fool. He has been hiding in the bitter cold land of the far north for many years. Today, he suddenly breaks into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. There is only one reason. He is ready to fight to the death!
Since I have staked my entire fortune and life, there is no way I am here to die.
They successfully broke through the Onon River defense line and were able to obtain horses. There were various signs that someone was assisting them.
Kuang Ye raised his head and said, "Without further delay, send out troops to encircle and suppress us immediately!"
Cao Nai and Zhang Yi nodded, and then told Wu Heng, the right minister of the Ministry of War: "You should return to the capital now and mobilize the capital camp to leave the customs!"
Wu Heng looked a little ugly and said: "The emperor is not here, so he mobilizes troops without authorization..."
Kuang Ye had a bad temper and immediately scolded: "It's already this time, why are you still abiding by those rules? The purpose of moving the Beijing camp out of seclusion is to protect the emperor. If anything happens, I will take care of you!"
Although he is no longer the Minister of the Ministry of War, many officials of the Ministry of War came from his disciples, including the current Minister of the Ministry of War Yu Qian. Strictly speaking, they can be regarded as his disciples.
Wu Heng did not dare to refuse anymore, but he still hesitated.
"How about this? Please ask Mr. Cao and Mr. Zhang to return to the capital with Beizhi."
Deployment of troops without permission is a big deal, and it might lead to the execution of the nine tribes. If the two big bosses from the cabinet return, things will be much easier to handle.
Zhang Yi said: "I will go back and Duke Cao will stay!"
Cao Nai nodded and said, "Thank you!"
At that moment, Zhang Yi and Wu Heng rode fast horses and rushed back to the capital overnight.
Cao Nai and Kuang Ye stayed in Orkhon City because the emperor disappeared here and the enemy's target was also here.
After hearing the news, Gula came over and asked about the situation. He seemed a little excited.
"It must be Qiqi Ke who wanted to avenge Ye Xian, so he colluded with Tuo Tuo Bu Hua and planned to rebel!"
Cao Nai and Kuang Ye nodded together and said, "That makes sense. Otherwise, if a mere two thousand people go deep into the desert, it would be the same as committing suicide."
Gula clasped his fists: "Two adults, I humbly suggest that Qiqi Ke beheaded immediately in public, completely cutting off Tuo Tuo Bu Hua's internal support, and at the same time, it can also scare Xiao Xiao's disciples!"
Cao Nai frowned. Now that things have happened, it is certain that Qi Qike is colluding with foreign enemies, so he should be killed. But, where is the emperor?
If it was really Qiqi Ke who hid the emperor and killed her, would the emperor be in danger?
Kuang Ye understood his worries and said: "It is better to hold a trial overnight. If she can hand over the emperor, we can consider sparing her life."
Hearing this, Gula's expression changed drastically and he said: "Two gentlemen, now that we are facing a powerful enemy, we must not show kindness to women!"
Cao Nai said: "However, the emperor's whereabouts are still unknown..."
"In this humble position, I will dig the entire Mobei Guard three feet into the ground to find the Emperor!"
Cao Nai stopped talking and looked at Kuang Ye.
Kuang Ye pondered for a long time and then said: "So far, we have no conclusive evidence that Qiqi Ke is a thief. If there is another hidden secret in this matter..."
"What more evidence do you need?"
Gula looked anxious and said: "Things are already obvious. How can Tuotuo Buhua successfully enter the desert without someone to help them? Moreover, the direction they are traveling is exactly Orkhon City. Where in the world can such a thing be found?" Something like a coincidence?”
Seeing that Cao Nai and Kuang Ye were still hesitating, Gula looked stern and said: "To be honest with you two adults, over the years, Qiqi Ke took advantage of his command and authority to smuggle a large amount of materials from the Central Plains, and even cooperated with the Rakshasa people. There are trade exchanges between them.”
"What did you say?"
Cao Nai's face was gloomy. Although there was no large-scale conflict between the Rakshasa people and the Ming Dynasty, they had been ready to make a move over the years.
What is certain is that the Rakshasa people are enemies rather than friends.
Qiqike actually smuggled supplies with the Rakshasa people. Isn't this a covert attempt to support the enemy?
"If there is such a thing, why don't you report it to the court?"
Gula showed a troubled expression and said: "A humble person speaks softly, and Qiqi Ke is impeccable in her work, so it is difficult to get a handle on her. Even if a humble person risks his own life, she will probably find a way to suppress her."
Cao Nai knew that Qiqike was not a simple person and was quite capable. He didn't think much about Gula's words and said, "If she really has an affair with a Rakshasa, she will be punished!"
Gula's eyes lit up and he said: "Qishike smuggled a large amount of alcohol not long ago and sold it to the Rakshasa people. There is evidence of his low position!"
"how many?"
"About thirty thousand kilograms!"
"This is really unreasonable!"
Cao Nai looked at Kuang Ye and said, "You can't keep this man!"
Kuang Ye nodded and said: "Gula, go and reorganize the troops. We will set off tomorrow. Be sure to stop Tuotuo Buhua and not let them get close to Orkhon City. Before leaving, kill Qiqike in front of the formation. Boost morale!”
Gula clasped his fists: "I humbly obey orders!"
