Seeing Yi Lawo's proud expression, Butebu approached Saba and asked in a low voice.
"What should we do now? Should we leave or..."
Botebu quietly made a motion of wiping his neck.
The meaning is obvious.
Bo Tebu saw the current success of Yilawo'o, and felt that Yilawo'o had the momentum to replace Saba. He wanted to take advantage of the moment to try to kill Saba, stabilize Saba's position, and cleanse the Khitan Restoration Army. Internally, they were unwilling to obey Saba's forces.
Sa Ba is the leader of the Khitan Restoration Army. Now you are surrounding him one by one. What do you mean?
Maybe only by killing him will everything get better.
But Saba shook his head helplessly.
It is not allowed to kill people now. Killing people will not only make those who are willing to follow the Migrant Wowo angry, thus triggering the split of the Khitan Restoration Army, but may also trigger a civil war and greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the Khitan Restoration Army.
As a leader, he cannot do such a thing when the enemy is at hand.
"But if you don't do this, you will become even more arrogant and unscrupulous, and your position as the governor of the capital will be in danger. Are you willing to endure such a thing?"
Sa Ba was silent for a long time, but still shook his head.
"I still won't change my opinion. I think we should continue to contact people who are willing to leave with us. It's still too late before the Jin people find out that we are leaving. If they find out, we may not be able to leave. .”
"Then here..."
Botebu couldn't accept it and said, "Are you really not going to do something?"
"Even if I can do something, so what?"
Sa Ba smiled mockingly: "I am no longer the most prestigious one. Not many people are willing to listen to me. If I kill Yi Lawo'o, won't there be people to avenge him? Am I going to trigger a civil war for this? ?”
Botebu was speechless for a moment.
When things got to this point, it was no longer possible for Saba to turn the situation around.
Feeling the fanatical atmosphere of the tribe, Saba felt helpless and a huge sense of urgency.
So he sped up his actions, trying to summon more people to go with him, leave here, and seek a way out to the west.
But at this time, the dominance of the Khitan Restoration Army had been taken over by Yi Lawo'o. The scale of Saba's actions was not small, and someone soon told Yi Lawo'o about it.
Yi Lawo'o was very angry. He felt that it was okay to hold back during the Saba War. Now that the Khitans have the advantage, he actually continues to hold back and cause division. What does it mean?
Is it in his interest to split the Khitan Restoration Army and weaken his power?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, but he did not decide to fall out with Saba at this time. Instead, he decided to let him do this and simply separate from him. Out of sight, out of mind. You go your own way, and I'll go mine. Single plank bridge.
But at this time, Chen Jia, an officer under his command, gave him advice.
"Sa Ba is still calling people to follow him at this time. Although there are many people who are willing to follow you, they are not all. Sa Ba is still in charge after all, and there will be people who believe in him. Once he succeeds, he will At least 30% of our troops can be taken away.
Now is the critical moment for us to confront the gold thieves. Sa Ba took away 30% of our troops. Although the number was small, the blow to morale was huge. I thought we could not let Sa Ba take people away like this. "
As Yi La Wo We listened, he suddenly felt that what the Chen family said made sense.
He didn't care whether Sa Ba left or not, but doing so would affect the newly boosted morale of the Khitan Restoration Army, disperse the troops, and make him face a more dangerous situation.
Then Saba patted his butt and walked away, leaving the greatest danger to him.
Thinking of this, Yi Lawo'o suddenly became very angry.
How could there be such a good thing in the world!
So he decided to do something.
He decided to do something, and the unlucky one was Saba.
When Saba was making intensive preparations to take the people who were willing to go with him, he was controlled by Yi Lawo's troops.
Then an armed conflict broke out between the two sides. Due to the huge disparity in strength, Yilawo'o defeated Saba without much effort and killed Botebu.
Sa Ba became a prisoner.
"Why are you doing this! Why are you stopping me! I just want to leave with someone who is willing to leave with me. Is there anything wrong with this?"
Sa Ba was very angry and questioned Yi Lawo.
Shili Wowo is even more angry.
"You took the people away, left the enemy with me, and affected my morale. How could such a good thing happen in the world! If you want to survive, let me fight in the face of a powerful enemy. Don't even think of doing such a thing! "
Saba suddenly became very desperate.
"Can't you see?! Although we have won the battle now, the main force of the Golden Thieves is still there. They also have the strong men from Huining Mansion, as well as the soldiers and horses gathered in Zhongdu. They are very strong and can add more troops at any time. And it’s hard for us to fight! If we don’t leave now, we won’t be able to leave when their reinforcements arrive!”
Yilawo'ou had just won the battle and was in full swing, so he dismissed Saba's statement.
"Growing up others' ambition will destroy your own prestige. There are many gold thieves, so we don't have any. People like you know how to say such things. If you have time to talk, it would be better to train more soldiers and kill more gold thieves. You want to escape!
When we rebelled, we had already put life and death aside, just to live a stable life in our hometown. People like you who are bent on running away are not qualified to be the leader of the Khitan Restoration Army! "
Yilawowo arrested Saba, and then held a meeting to publicly announce Saba's "ugly" behavior.
After the victory in Yi Lawo'o, the Khitan Restoration Army became more and more convinced that they could win, and had a very disdainful attitude towards those who held a diversion attitude.
Especially since this person is the leader of everyone, this is even more unacceptable.
So amidst the public outrage, Yili Wowo dismissed Sa Badu as the general manager of the capital as a matter of course, and appointed himself as the general manager of the Khitan Restoration Army, replacing Sa Ba.
But he still felt dissatisfied. He felt that this name had been tarnished by a coward like Saba and was not worthy of him.
So at the suggestion of the Chen family, he changed himself to the title of Marshal of the City, and his title became even more powerful.
After Saba was dismissed from his position, he was executed in public. He moved to Lawowo to announce to everyone his decision not to retreat.
Saba struggled hard, but it was useless. In the end, he was pressed to the ground by two strong soldiers. Yi Lawo's younger brother Yi La Niao executed him on behalf of Yi La Wo'o.
This behavior was criticized by some people and made some people who had received favors from Saba feel dissatisfied. However, at that time, the power to invade Wowo was already very large. These people dared not speak out in anger, so they could only secretly pay homage to Saba and express their feelings. The pain within oneself.
Starting from mid-to-late July, Yi Lawo'o took full control of all aspects of the Khitan Restoration Army and officially became the second leader of the Khitan Restoration Army. The army that was originally under the command of Sa Ba was also eliminated and reorganized by him, and could no longer be used. pose a threat to him.
In a sense, Yilawo'o is more powerful and able to centralize power than Saba.
In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of Sa Ba, Yi Lawo'o thought about it for a while, and then while consolidating his power, he decided to make some changes to the Khitan Restoration Army.
For example, he designed a clearer official position system, created a clearer hierarchy of superiority and inferiority, and created the absolute authority of the capital marshal that had not been established in the Saba era.
Yilawowo learned the lesson of Saba's failure to control absolute military power and was overthrown by him. With his own prestige, he placed many of his old subordinates in the army to hold important military positions and directly controlled the army. He had better control over the army. a lot of.
Under this premise, at the end of July, Yilawo'an once again led his troops to repel another tentative attack by the Jin army on Heihepu and achieved victory.
So he packaged this victory into a great victory and won a higher prestige within the Khitan Restoration Army.
At this time, some people who were originally dissatisfied with Yi Lawo's killing of Saba lost their voices and all praised Yi Lawo's military achievements, pushing his reputation to the top.
The Khitan people all believed that Yi Lawo'o would be the man from heaven who would lead them to freedom and glory.
At this peak, Yilanwo's younger brother Yilaniao and his cronies the Chen family made a bold suggestion to him.
