"Let the soldiers go up and annihilate them!" Yunzhi looked at the white flag flying not far away, paused for a moment, and then suddenly said.
"Your Highness?" After hearing Yunzhi's words, Yu Ai turned around and said, "Here, they are about to surrender."
"How do you know that a group of bandits are not pretending to surrender?" Yunzhi said: "To be on the safe side, we should annihilate them all."
"Your Highness, I look at these people. They don't look like bandits, but they look like people from the Mongolian tribes on the grassland. Should I ask them to send someone over to inquire about their origins before making any plans?" Zhang Lun said cautiously.
.
He originally wanted no merit but no fault, but now seeing that neither Liu Mingzhao nor Yu Qi spoke, he had no choice but to speak. Like Liu Mingzhao, he had fought many battles and had spent half his life on the Great Wall.
The front-line guard posts had too many encounters with the Mongols. At a glance, they knew that they must be from a large and powerful tribe. They were worried that if they killed a noble of a large tribe, they would anger the large tribe and cause trouble at the border.
Unstable. Although the Ming Dynasty was not afraid of retaliation from the Mongols, his security guard was right on the border, which was very troublesome for him. For a general who has no ambition in his career, the less trouble the better.
"The bandits may also come from the big tribes on the grassland. This is not surprising." Yunzhi insisted on killing them all.
"Your Highness, they are not the bandits who besieged Ganzhou City two months ago." Zhang Wuji said: "At that time, I led the soldiers to fight with them from the city gate to Prince Su's Mansion. I still know the bandits relatively well. These Mongolians and those bandits in front of me
It’s different, they won’t be the bandits who besieged Ganzhou City two months ago.”
"Wei Zhang, are you sure?" Yun Zhi opened her big eyes and stared at Zhang Wuji and asked.
Zhang Wuji did not dare to look up at her. In fact, no one present dared to stare at Yunzhi. They lowered their heads when answering. "I'm sure."
Yun Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "In that case, Commander Liu, please send a few people to contact us and ask them all to put down their weapons, jump off their horses, and surrender to the Ming Dynasty."
"Yes, Your Highness." Liu Mingzhao agreed and sent a commander and several soldiers to contact him.
After a while, more than a thousand people were seen dismounting from their horses and throwing their weapons to the ground.
"Aren't the Mongols afraid that the Ming Dynasty is deceiving them and then massacring them after they hand over their weapons?" Yun Zhi was a little surprised to see these Mongolians being so well-behaved.
"Your Highness, I have the guts to say that the reason they were willing to surrender must have told Commander Hu that Your Highness was here, otherwise they would never have agreed to surrender so quickly," Yu Qi said.
"Why? Why are they willing to surrender even if they are alone here?"
"As a princess of the Ming Dynasty, how could your Highness do such a deception?"
In fact, the reason is very simple. For people of the Ming Dynasty's level, it is not cost-effective to break one's word just for the sake of a mere thousand people. After the Mongols were driven out of the Central Plains, they also actively conducted research on the culture of the Han people, knowing that
This. So when they heard that the princess was here, they readily put down their weapons.
After a while, an old man and a boy of fifteen or sixteen came over, knelt down in front of Yunzhi's horse, and said at the same time: "I have seen the Mongolian Asut tribe Arutai.
Her Royal Highness the Princess Huainan of the Ming Empire!"
"Tuohuan? Do you remember that you are Mahamu's son?" Yunzhi had never heard of Arutai's name and had no reaction; but after hearing Tuohuan's name, she paused and asked.
"Your Highness, I am indeed Mahamu's son." Tuohuan replied.
‘The Oara tribe sent people near Lanzhou City, and it seems they are not so respectful to the Ming Dynasty.’ Yun Zhi secretly said.
However, this thought only passed by her, and it was more of a regret. The reason why she led the troops to chase them out was to annihilate the bandits who besieged Ganzhou City that day and eliminate her nightmare, but in the end she found that her judgment was wrong, and they
It is a pity that the bandits are not to be eliminated.
"Why did you two lead your troops to the north of Lanzhou City? Didn't someone know that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was here and wanted to plot against His Majesty!" After a while, at Yunzhi's signal, one of her men named Wei Lan
The female guard yelled loudly.
"Your Highness, you are wronged!" Tuohuan and Arutai shouted at the same time: "I don't know that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is here, how can I plot against His Majesty?"
"Then why are you two leading the troops here?"
"Your Highness, I am here to pursue the ghost Lichi." The two of them said in unison.
…
…
When Tuo Huan saw Arutai ordering the white flag to be flown, he asked, "Do you want to surrender to the Ming army?"
"How can we survive here if we don't surrender?" Arutai said: "Both ends have been blocked, and there is no way to escape. If we abandon our horses and escape from the hills on both sides, even if we escape from here, how will we get back?
A tribe on the grassland?”
"It is better to surrender to the Ming army in exchange for your life." Arutai said this, turned around and called several generals over and gave them instructions.
Tuo Huan's eyes flashed, and he touched the handle of the knife at his waist. He was estimating how high he could be to capture Arutai in one fell swoop.
It is difficult for him to conceal his identity, and even if he conceals his identity, he cannot conceal the presence of someone from their Oara tribe, and the Ming army will definitely know about it.
This was not a good thing for their Oara tribe. In order to eliminate the consequences as much as possible, he wanted to capture Arutai alive, and at the same time confess Arutai's conspiracy to the Ming army, so that he could be punished and meritorious service.
But just when he called a few of his close guards over and was making preparations, Arutai ordered a few generals, then turned around and said: "Little prince, we two have to talk to each other, and we can't be understood.
The people of the country noticed something wrong."
"To what?"
"Why did we come here?" Arutai said: "People from the Ming Dynasty will definitely ask us why we came to the north of Lanzhou City, especially their emperor is here now. If we answer a little carelessly, we will be dead.
End."
"What does the Grand Master plan to tell the people of the Ming Dynasty?"
"Say that we are here to chase Guilichi. You must not talk about those plans! As soon as those plans are revealed, I will be executed by Lingchi because I am the mastermind who ordered the assassination of the Ming Emperor, and the tribe will also be hunted down by the Ming army; since you know this
If you are an accomplice in this matter, you will also be executed. The Oara tribe will not be attacked by the Ming army, but it will not be good either." Arutai said.
After hearing what Arutai said, Tuohuan was horrified. At this moment, he realized that he had not thought carefully. If he exposed Arutai, could Arutai let him go? He must be an accomplice. When the time comes,
He couldn't save his own life.
Arutai quietly let go of his hand holding the handle of the knife, began to listen carefully to Arutai's words, and agreed that when people from the Ming Dynasty asked, he would insist, "We saw Guilichi leading two thousand soldiers and horses to separate from the headquarters, in order to kill
Gui Lichi came and mistakenly entered the land of the Ming Dynasty. After realizing that we had arrived in the land of the Ming Dynasty, we were lucky and decided to continue chasing Gui Lichi's troops, and then we arrived at a hill in the north of Lanzhou City."
…
…
"You are so cowardly! You knew that Gui Lichi had already led his troops into the Ming Dynasty, but you still pursued him without taking the Ming Dynasty's power seriously!" After hearing their reasons, Yun Zhi thought they were reasonable, and looked at them again.
After looking at Liu Mingzhao and others, he saw that they had no objections, so he asked Wei Lan to scold them a few more times, and ordered the soldiers to tie them up, guard the ordinary tribesmen, and take them back to Lanzhou City for Yunxi to deal with them.
They had just returned to the north bank of the Yellow River. Yun Zhi was still talking to several commanders when Wei Lan suddenly gently pulled her arm: "Your Highness, this is Little Eunuch Lu."
"Eunuch Xiao Lu?" Yunzhi immediately became sad when she heard the name. Eunuch Xiao Lu was the eunuch who served Yunxi personally. Yunxi must have sent him here to ask her to go back; and it was indispensable to ask her to go back in such a hurry.
He was scolded immediately and might even be grounded.
"Sister Wei, you go across the river immediately to find my sister-in-law and ask her to plead for me." Yunzhi watched Little Eunuch Lu running towards her and hurriedly ordered Wei Lan. Wei Lan agreed, jumped off the horse and ran towards the pier.
.
After a while, little Eunuch Lu ran over, took a breath and conveyed Yunxi's order to her, which was indeed to ask her to return immediately without hesitation. At this time, Yunzhi did not dare to be disobedient anymore, and immediately dismounted and took the boat back.
…
…
"Aunt Mei, hurry up and prepare some clothes. I want to change into them right away. I still have to go see Brother Huang, and we can't waste time. Ah, Brother Huang, my sister has met Brother Huang." Yun Zhi ran back to the bank, planning to change first.
After putting on the princess uniform, I went to see Yunxi, so I ran towards my room, but I didn't want to walk into the room and just said a few words, I saw Yunxi sitting on the chair with a serious face, saluting and saying hurriedly.
"Brother, I remember that I asked you to see me immediately after you came back, but you went back to your dormitory first. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, you are disobeying the order." Yunxi said.
"Brother Emperor," Yunzhi was about to come over and said as he walked: "Don't you think it's inappropriate for my sister to just dress up to see Brother Emperor? She wants to change into neater clothes before meeting her. My sister-in-law is also there,
I've met my sister-in-law." Miaojin agreed softly.
Yun Zhixiang leaned next to Yun He and acted coquettishly, but Yun He shook her arm off with a wave of his hand. Yun Zhi panicked now. Yun He had never treated her like this before, even if she was angry with her and hugged her
Yun Xi's arm acted coquettishly, and he scolded her a few more times, but this time he even pushed her arm away, which showed that he was really angry.
She wanted to calm Yun Hei down, but she didn't know what to say. In a panic, she raised her head and looked at Miao Jin and said, "Sister-in-law, help my sister persuade the emperor."
"Yunzhi, you have gone too far this time." Miao Jin said: "Before, in Ganzhou, bandits besieged the city and the mansion, so you could just fight with the bandits, but this time you can't do it."
Brother’s order leads the troops out of the city to fight!”
