Chapter 67 Relationship (Next)
"No." Chen Ji didn't think about it and immediately objected loudly, "How can I believe what is said in the play? Besides, Xuexue is obviously an incompetent person. It is tantamount to expecting him to deal with Tutuo, which is like driving a pig to fight a tiger."
"What I like is his incompetence." Zhu Chongjiu's face turned slightly red and explained with a smile, "Before going north in the past, Zhang and Feng Guanjun had analyzed to me that if the southern expedition was setback, the situation that Tuotuo was about to face would be very embarrassing. Earlier, Lu Changshi also said that there were two major factions within the Mongolian and Yuan court, Tuotuo was one of them. Xuexue, Hama, Yuekuochaer and others belonged to another faction."
Chen Ji guessed very accurately. Deep down in his heart, he was indeed influenced by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, that is, the now widely circulated "The Three Kingdoms Pingdian", and tried to use a divisive plan between Tutuo and the Mongolian Yuan court. However, this idea was not based on wishful thinking, but based on the actual situation of the Mongolian Yuan court, and had made many corresponding preparations a long time ago.
"In this way, the empress is reckless." After hearing Zhu Chongjiu's words seem to be like that, Chen Ji hesitated and whispered apologies, "But, the lord must meet him, what if this person has any malicious intentions."
"In order to survive, he even cheated on them, the Mongolian emperor. How could he be willing to fight with Zhu? " Zhu Chongjiu smiled and shook his head disdainfully, "Even if he really wants to fight for his life, it's no big deal. With Hong San and Heiding, it's not easy for ordinary people to get close to Zhu."
"This" Chen Ji hesitated and nodded helplessly. Judging from Xuexue's current performance, this person cherishes his life very much and should not be willing to do so. Jing Ke's actions are even more certain that when neither side brings long weapons or firearms, the general manager has a pig-killing knife in his hand, and ten Xuexue come on it and is also a delivery item for delivery.
"Okay, don't let my mother-in-law and go and prepare. He is willing to come or not, and he is still talking." Zhu Chongjiu waved his arm and urged with a smile, "Whether it is successful or not, at least before Tuotuo comes, we can create some trouble for him first, which is better than blindly fighting with him."
"If it was Xuexue, I would definitely come." Chen Ji saluted a military salute, responded casually, then trotted out, mobilized the enemy situation that had just been established, and began to operate with all his strength.
This department was originally set up by Zhu Chongjiu, a CIA of the only superpower in another time and space. However, after formally setting up the airs, he found that it was a bit similar to the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty. He was led by a meticulous confidant minister. He recruited healthy and clever heroes from the world, and was responsible for collecting military information, instigating enemy generals, etc., and occasionally he was responsible for doing some shameless dirty work, such as creating chaos behind enemy lines and spreading rumors, (Note 1)
Although it is still in the forging stage, the MIIS is also a "semi-professional" intelligence system after all, and its efficiency is far from that of the Imperial City Department of this era. The speed department is comparable to that of the time. That night, it sent an invitation to meet for its lord (Note 2)
"What does Zhu, Zhu butcher want to do?" After receiving the invitation from the Dayuan Zhizhumi Institute, the Imperial Guard Daruhua Chi Xuexue was startled first, then fell back to the chair, pondering at the Jue Ming Shu who could not be given out.
Before the news of his defeat, Judith Book arrived in Dadu first. His lies lost their support, and the charge of losing the city and humiliating the country could not be cleaned. The important task that Tuhuan Timur secretly entrusted to him completely lost the possibility of execution.
As Tohwan Timur's breasts, Xuexue knew very well the nature of this Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. She was resourceful, suspicious, and had no responsibility. Once she found out that she had failed her trust, she would have to make another arrangement soon. In that case, she might be a discarded child, and might even be thrown out directly as a scapegoat to appease Tuotuo and ease the relationship between the monarch and the ministers.
Even the ant is still cherishing his life, Xuexue is certainly unwilling to wait for death. However, at this moment, he has no capital to struggle to survive. More than 5,000 defeated soldiers and generals are impossible to retake Jinan. It is no different to hope that Tuotuo will share some credit for himself or borrow tens of thousands of soldiers to help the battle. Moreover, the five thousand soldiers and horses in his hand have no food supply at all. If he chases the rabbit in the deep mountains and forests for a few days, he may not need anyone to fight, so he will escape completely.
"Sir, Zhu, Zhu butcher, would you like to ask for revenge?" Liu Wencai, a senator of the Privy Council, was more flexible. According to his own ideas, he whispered, "If he had malicious intentions, he would not have taken the initiative to return the letter."
"It's very likely." It seemed as if a flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the dark night. All the Mongolian and Han generals present reflected bright light in their eyes. "He, he sent all the personal soldiers who sent the letter back."
"He, he applied medicine to all the injured brothers, and also returned war horses and weapons."
"As the saying goes, killing people and setting fires to be recruited. Fang Guzi caught Duoer and served him like a Buddha?"
"Well, he must have the idea of attracting peace. How can he last for a long time when he drys the red scarf? His current strength is ten times that of Fang Guzi back then. Fang Guzi won a victory and was granted the title of Dinghaiwei, and rebelled again. He rebelled for ten thousand households for the third time and was granted the title of provincial government for the fourth time."
The more people said, the brighter the eyes of everyone, almost seeing through the shameless plan of the Butcher Zhu. Fang Guozhen repeatedly surrendered and rebelled. Every time he defeated the imperial court, he was promoted to the official position. Zhu Butcher Zhu and Fang Guozhen were of low origins, so he would definitely not be a long-term person. If the court was willing to give him enough benefits, the Huaiyang Rebellion would be quelled without a fight!
Of course, the price will definitely not be too small. With Fang Guozhen's shipping thousands of households and Zhejiang Province's participation in politics as a benchmark, Zhu Tuhuo may have to be granted a Pingzhang in the Jiangbei Province of Henan Province, and have corresponding titles and fiefs to satisfy it. But what does this have to do with Xuexue? Official titles and rewards are not required to be paid out. On the contrary, if the matter of reunion is vigorously promoted, his guilt for losing Jinan can be completely ignored. With Zhu Tuhuo and his tiger and wolf army as external support, his position in the court will be as safe as a rock.
Thinking of this, Xuexue's face turned red with excitement and sweated on her forehead. She stretched out her hand and patted her on the short table beside her, making a loud decision, "Where is the butcher Zhu, hurry up and reply to him quickly. The official promised to meet Zhu and General Zhu. The location is located in Qinglong Mountain, ten miles outside the city. If, if he thinks it is inappropriate, he can discuss it again." (Note 3)
"No, no, what the adults say is, how can a butcher get more and more arrogant?"
"It's okay to discuss it. If you treat it with sincerity, he should also repay it with sincerity."
"If the butcher Zhu set up an ambush in advance"
"How can you get a tiger's son if you don't enter the tiger's den? Besides, the butcher Zhu really wants to fight. I can't hide it even when I am in Lashan."
At the time of the arrival of the time, the civil and military officials under Xuexue were divided into several factions. Some wanted to sacrifice their lives to defend the face of the court, some believed that only those who had severance could show sincerity, some suggested that people should be prevented from others, and some were afraid of the long night and dreams. Just one word or another, the quarrel became a mess.
However, no matter how quarrels, no one would question the general direction of recruiting Zhu Butcher for the court. So after a few more considerations, Xuexue finally made a decision and entrusts Zhu Butcher's subordinates to send orders to Zhu Butcher. Tomorrow at noon, both sides will meet at Heguiting Pavilion on the top of Qinglong Mountain. Each of them will be allowed to bring five hundred guards, and no one will be allowed to bring firearms and crossbows. During the two hours before the meeting, each of them will be able to search the mountain. Then all the troops on both sides will be stationed at the foot of the mountain. Each of the commanders of both sides will only bring ten personal soldiers to the pavilion. Except for the close-fitting swords and swords, it is strictly forbidden for any weapon to go up the mountain.
Zhu Chongjiu proposed the purpose of the meeting to alienate the monarch and ministers of the Mongolian Yuan. Of course, they would not make any mistakes on the surface like Xuexue and others. After receiving the news brought back by the enemy's death soldiers, they immediately agreed with a smile.
So, the two sides sent messengers to formally negotiate with each other for several times. The next morning, they each brought their agreed troops and rushed to Qinglong Mountain outside Jinan City.
Zhu Chongjiu wanted to see the autumn scenery in the mountains, so he climbed the Hegui Pavilion half an hour in advance, while Xuexue dragged it back half an hour before he could get enough airs and carried it up the hillside by eight burly Kunlun slaves with slide rods.
In this way, the available personnel around him were nearly one more than the agreed number, which made Xu Hongsan, Ding Dexing and others frown involuntarily. However, when Dayuan was aware of the Privy Council, the imperial guard Wanhu Xuexue took the lead and laughed and explained: "I was injured when riding a horse yesterday and couldn't walk, so I found a few slaves to carry it up the mountain. Manager Zhu, you don't even see that they were all tall and big, but they were all boneless cowards. No matter how you hit them, they wouldn't dare to fight back, let alone use swords and swords, and do anything wrong. Manager Zhu, you are very capable. When a short blade was seven in and seven out of the north bank of the Yellow River, you wouldn't even be stingy with me."
Note 1: The Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty was criticized by literati because it could only be chaotic. However, at the beginning of its establishment, it made many contributions to the smooth northern expedition of the Ming army. During the Wanli period, the Jinyiwei also collected a large amount of information from Japanese invaders and promoted the official documents of Ryukyu outside the territory. It even mentioned that the Jinyiwei commander Shi Shiyong lurked in Japan to spy on military affairs and returned to China, and was blocked by the storm. Then the Ryukyu Kingdom sent a ship to send back the Ming Dynasty.
Note 2: Imperial City Department and the Speed Department are both ancient espionage agencies, but their professionalism is very poor, and the collection and sorting of intelligence is not systematic.
