After Amutai's narration, everyone finally figured out the whole story.
According to Amutai, after Tumaikan was defeated and captured, the other four rulers except him wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to deprive themselves of the throne.
He repeatedly tried to dissuade him, but the other four rulers remained unmoved and even fought over it!
Later, when these leaders secretly bribed the elders of the tribe and asked them to choose the next khan, the conflict completely broke out.
The conflict between the several parties quickly evolved into a war. In the end, only the two governors, Wei Zhengsu and Amutai, survived. The remaining three governors were either defeated and killed, or died suddenly and suddenly inexplicably. Death!
Amutai took this opportunity to tell Yang Xuan and Tumahan the whole story and poured dirty water on Wei Zhengsu.
He claimed that everything he did was to maintain Tumaihan's supreme status. For this reason, he even went to the extent of starting a war with Wei Zhengsu, as if he was entrusting a lonely and important minister.
Regarding everything Amutai said, neither Yang Xuan nor Tumaihan believed a single word.
The reason why Yang Xuan kept his life was because besides buying the horse bones with thousands of gold, this Amutai had other uses.
Based on Amutai's previous performances alone, Yang Xuan was sure that he was a very shameless and greedy person.
Yang Xuan has dealt with people like this too much and knows what methods to use to treat them docilely.
After all, after the Chahar rebellion is completely quelled, Yang Xuan will still need this Amutai to check and balance Tumaihan to prevent him from turning his back on others.
After that, Yang Xuan cleared his throat, then looked at Amutai and said in a deep voice.
"Amutai, now this general gives you a chance to live. It depends on whether you can seize it!"
Yang Xuan's words were quickly conveyed to Amutai's ears verbatim after being translated by a subordinate who knew Tatar.
At this moment, Amutai saw that he had a chance to survive, so how could he still put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look like before.
Since his hands and feet were tied with ropes, making it difficult to move, Amutai immediately chose to kneel on the ground and swear his loyalty to Yang Xuan.
"I once heard that in your Ming country, there is such a saying, which is to go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"I, Amutai, will use these words today to show my loyalty to you, General. I will be your most sincere slave and hyena!"
Tumaihan on the side witnessed all this, and he was very disdainful of Amutai's behavior of begging for mercy in order to survive.
At the same time, he was also extremely angry that Amutai ignored his Great Khan. He saw that he clenched his fists subconsciously, and his eyes seemed to be about to spit out fire.
"Hmph, Amutai, just wait, you actually dare to ignore this Khan. When this Khan comes back to power, the first thing he will do is to execute you so that you can forgive yourself for offending me today!"
But at the moment, most of the people present were paying attention to Amutai, but no one noticed anything strange about Tumaihan.
Yang Xuan did not comment on Amutai's words, but looked at Tumaihan aside, and then spoke.
"Amutai, your allegiance is not to me, but to your supreme Khan!"
When Yang Xuan's words fell, everyone's eyes fell on Tumaihan who was standing aside. Tumaihan was rarely like this, so he had to temporarily suppress all the chaotic thoughts in his heart to prevent others from seeing the flaws!
When Amutai heard what Yang Xuan said, a belated expression suddenly appeared on his face, and he said in a deep voice.
"Great Khan, my subordinates will definitely do their best to assist you in quelling the rebellion in the tribe and kill all the rebels who take advantage of this opportunity to cause rebellion!"
When Tumaihan heard this, a look of relief appeared on his face. He immediately lifted Amutai from the ground and spoke.
"Well, among those governors, you are the one whom Ben Khan values the most. Originally, Ben Khan planned to..."
In this way, Tumaihan and Amutai staged a drama of harmony between king and minister in front of Yang Xuan and many Ming troops present.
Soon, everyone reached an agreement to do their best to completely eliminate Wei Zhengsu, a rebellious minister and traitor who tried to deprive him of his throne.
After that, all the ropes that originally tied Amutai were removed.
If Tu Maihan had no other choice, he would never accept the duplicitous villain Amutai!
But the current situation is that, except for a few personal guards responsible for protecting his safety, Tumaihan has no other military power in his hands.
His mission on this trip was to provide legal rationale for the Ming army's next actions. After all, no matter what, he Tumaihan was also the current Zasak Tuhan and the supreme ruler of the left-wing Chahar tribe.
With him around, many things will be much easier!
Tumaihan's plan was to take advantage of this opportunity to expand the guard and absorb some of the Tatar soldiers who had surrendered to the Ming army as an armed force loyal to his great khan.
Only with an army on hand can Tumaihan be able to make his own voice, instead of acting as a puppet of the Ming army like he is now!
But this is easier said than done. Tumaihan knew very well that if he proposed this idea to Yang Xuan in person, although Yang Xuan would not say much on the surface, secretly he would definitely be more careful about himself. Therefore, this You have to find the right time for everything.
While Tumaihan was still racking his brains to think about what to do next, Yang Xuan was seen giving instructions after glancing at Amutai and Tumaihan respectively.
"Since our goals are the same, it would be great to have more strength!"
When Yang Xuan said this, he paused for a moment and then added.
"In this case, those surrendered soldiers will be left to you, Amutai, to command!"
Yang Xuan's words, after being relayed by the translator, soon reached the ears of Amutai and Tumaihan.
After hearing the news, Amutai's face was filled with unconcealable joy. He bowed to Yang Xuan solemnly and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, General!"
Yang Xuan saw the expression on Amutai's face, and saw that he nodded in an insignificant way and gave instructions.
"Without further delay, you'd better go over there quickly!"
When Yang Xuan said this, as if he suddenly remembered something, he glanced at Tumaihan aside, and then added something.
"By the way, Great Khan, there are only a few personal guards protecting you at the moment. You can also take this opportunity to select some soldiers from them to be responsible for your safety!"
When Tumaihan heard Yang Xuan's words, his face was full of disbelief. What he didn't expect was that what he dreamed of could be obtained so easily.
Because the whole process was so easy, Tumaihan felt that Yang Xuan was deliberately testing himself.
Tumaihan was about to refuse, but then he thought about it. This was one of the few opportunities for him to directly contact the army.
If you miss this time, you don’t know when you will have the next opportunity.
Therefore, after hesitating for a long time, Tumaihan finally had to grit his teeth and agreed to Yang Xuan's proposal, and went with Amutai to gather the surrendered soldiers.
After Tumaihan and Amutai left, Yang Xuan called a subordinate and gave instructions in a low voice.
"Follow them. If anything happens, report to me immediately!"
"Yes, General!"
…
On the way to where the soldiers were imprisoned, Amutai suddenly stopped, turned around, and spoke to Tumaihan with an unusually calm expression.
"By the way, Khan, I forgot to tell you something."
When Tumaihan heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and looked at Amutai with confusion.
He couldn't understand why he had to say it at this time. You must know that the Ming army was surrounded by informants, and anything they said would be recorded.
Tumaihan couldn't guess what Amutai was planning for a while. He looked at Amutai up and down and said slowly.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Seeing this, Amutai saw the expression on Tumaihan's face. After sighing, he turned to ask.
"You remember the claw picture, right?"
When Tumaihan heard Amutai mention the name Zhuertu, he suddenly became furious, and his energy and blood surged upward uncontrollably.
At this moment, veins sprouted on his forehead, his fists were clenched, he looked at Amutai with a look that was about to devour others, and asked in a deep voice.
"Amutai, what do you mean?"
After hearing this, Amutai sighed helplessly and immediately explained.
"Great Khan, you misunderstood. This Zhuertu joined Wei Zhengsu and killed many of my brothers. It can be said that the reason why I, Amutai, have fallen into this situation today, is largely due to this Zhuertu." No ah!"
When Amutai said the last few words, he couldn't help but clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. His words were full of undisguised hatred for Zhuertu.
After listening to Amutai's words, Tumaihan finally understood his intention: "This Amutai is forming an alliance with himself in disguise. In short, before Wei Zhengsu and Zhuertu are completely eliminated, the two of them must People are considered temporary allies!”
On the other side, when Amutai and Tumaihan arrived at the place where the Ming army detained the surrendered soldiers, the Tatar soldiers who had surrendered to the Ming army earlier were squatting or sitting downcast, with little life left in their eyes. .
In order to prevent this group of soldiers from gathering to riot, their original organization had been randomly disrupted before this, and they were separated and detained in different places, and they were not allowed to have any communication with each other.
If someone communicates privately, once discovered by the guarding Ming army, he will be beaten mercilessly. In order to completely prevent this situation, the Ming army also encourages them to report each other, and the reporter can get a sumptuous meal. As a bonus.
Soon, when the first person came forward to report, he got a hearty meal as he wished.
Since then, everyone in this group of Tatar soldiers was in danger and no longer dared to have any communication.
But soon, some of the surrendered soldiers recognized their leader Amutai and Tumaihan who was following him.
At this moment, an older soldier with a wrinkled face stood up. His face was full of disbelief, and he immediately lost his voice.
"Ah, Chief, and...the Great Khan!"
The voice of the old pawn was not loud, but it was clearly transmitted to the ears of all the soldiers present.
The Ming army who was on guard at the side saw the group of surrendered soldiers getting restless, and immediately planned to step forward and teach them a lesson.
However, when the Ming army commander who was following Amutai and Tumaihan saw this situation, he stopped the movements of his soldiers with his eyes. Seeing the officer speak, the Ming army soldiers who were responsible for guarding this group of surrendered soldiers stopped angrily. pace.
Seeing this, Amutai immediately stepped aside and saluted Tumaihan solemnly: "Great Khan!"
Tumaihan just glanced at Amutai, nodded, then stepped forward and said in a deep voice.
"Everyone, this Khan..."
As night fell, in the tent of the Chinese army camp, Yang Xuan took the paper from the hands of his subordinates unhurriedly. The content recorded on the paper showed that it was during the process of gathering the surrendered soldiers that Tumaihan and Amu Taiwan dialogue.
What they said, after being dictated by a translator who knew Tatar, was recorded on paper and handed over to Yang Xuan.
After Yang Xuan finished browsing the contents on the paper, he quickly threw it aside and chuckled.
"Oh, we actually reached an alliance through this method, not bad!"
"It's just that, alas, claw pictures..."
As Yang Xuan said this, the figure of Zhuertu appeared in his mind unconsciously. It was he who fulfilled his promise and let Zhuertu go and spared his life.
But now, he wanted to kill it with his own hands on the battlefield. For a moment, Yang Xuan suddenly felt like fate was playing tricks on people.
"Hmph, I spared your life back then. Now, I will take back your life myself!"
Yang Xuan said this, and immediately walked out of the tent, raised his head, and looked at the stars twinkling in the night sky.
At this moment, Yang Xuan didn't feel confused at all. After all, the Ming army now held the great killer weapon Tumaihan. As long as he was there, the Ming army was firmly on the side of righteousness!
How could he lose this battle when his division was well-known and overwhelmed by strength?
…
On the other side, inside the powerful camp.
At this moment, Wei Zhengsu was sitting in the main seat, with the generals he trusted sitting on both sides of him, and the table was full of delicacies.
In recent days, in the battle with Amutai, Wei Zhengsu has won consecutive battles and eliminated most of Amutai's effective forces.
Next, he was just one step away from the sweat position with great speed!
As long as he takes this opportunity to have another decisive battle with Amutai, he can be completely eliminated. By then, he will become the most powerful person in the Chahar tribe, and the position of the Great Khan will be within his grasp.
Wei Zhengsu felt extremely excited when he thought about what he would be like after becoming a great Khan.
In his opinion, he is the only one who leads Tatar to revival. The current Zasak Tuhan is too ignorant and arrogant.
At that time, after he succeeds to the throne of Khan, both the Ming court and Anda Khan of the Tumote tribe will eventually surrender under his feet!
Thinking of this, Wei Zheng quickly raised his wine glass and said loudly.
"Let's all raise a glass and cheer for the upcoming victory!"
When Wei Zhengsu's words fell, many generals on both sides raised their wine glasses at the same time, with fanatical expressions.
Zhuertu was also among those generals, but he was sitting farthest away from Wei Zhengsu.
Since Yang Xuan spared his life earlier, he returned to the Chahar tribe with the remaining troops and took advantage of the opportunity to join Wei Zhengsu's command.
Because he fought very bravely and made great achievements many times, he was quickly promoted and was highly regarded by Wei Zhengsu.
But the arrival of Zhuertu also made the generals who originally followed Wei Zhengsu feel deeply threatened, and they began to group together to squeeze him out intentionally or unintentionally. You can get a glimpse of this from today's seating arrangement.
Although Wei Zhengsu was well aware of all this, he did not take any measures because those generals all followed him to become successful. Without their support, Wei Zhengsu would never be where he is today.
There is no other way, for the sake of the unity of the tribe, just have to work hard for a while!
After a few glasses of wine, Wei Zhengshu, who was sitting in the main seat, looked rosy and began to discuss the next strategic plan with many generals.
"Before this, Amutai won less than he lost in the battle with us. More than half of the veterans in the army were injured and their strength was greatly reduced. I think it is time to make up my mind to eradicate him completely!"
When Wei Zhengsu said this, he looked in the direction of Zhuertu and gave instructions in a deep voice.
"Tomorrow morning, Zhuertu's army will take the lead!"
After hearing this, Zhuertu had no choice but to stand up from his seat and bowed to Wei Zheng in a rather solemn manner.
"Follow your orders, Chief!"
When Wei Zhengsu saw Zhuertu agreeing so simply, he couldn't help but feel a sense of indebtedness in his heart. After all, in the recent battles, Zhuertu had made the greatest contribution, but he had not received many rewards.
After that, Wei Zheng quickly cleared his throat, and then spoke words of comfort.
"Zhao'ertu, don't worry. After I sit in the position of Khan, I will never treat you badly. Whether it's cattle, sheep, women, or countless wealth, you can have whatever you want!"
"Yes, leader!"
