The dead leader is just a dead man and has no use to Zhenglan Qi.
Baturu is only given to living people.
"The slave thieves are really a bunch of courageless cowards. I even opened the front door to them, but I only rushed once and didn't dare to rush again." Zhou Lingqing, who was standing at the height of Nanguandao Fort, looked at Ebi who left at the end. Lun et al.
Captain Wang, who escorted the Han soldiers to Nanguandao Fort, said: "The people assigned by Captain Zhou beat them too hard. I'm afraid they scared the remaining slave thieves."
"Haha, that's true. It seems that I will take it easy in the future to fight slave thieves so as not to scare them away again." Zhou Lingqing said with a smile.
At this time, a soldier ran up from below, came to Zhou Lingqing, and said: "Report to the captain, the number of people has been counted, and the injured have been taken for treatment."
"Let our people get them something to eat. The road from Jinzhou City to Nanguan Island is not very close. After eating, arrange for them to rest." Zhou Lingqing explained.
"Yes." The soldier turned and left.
Captain Wang said: "The people have been delivered, it's time for my subordinates to go back, so I won't disturb Captain Zhou."
"Wait before leaving." Zhou Lingqing said, "The slaves and thieves have just left. If you go back at this time, you might run into them. With just a few of you, it would be too dangerous if you really encounter those slaves and thieves."
After hearing this, Captain Wang hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to follow Zhou Lingqing's arrangement and stay in the South Guam Fort temporarily.
After counting the number of Han soldiers, they were arranged to eat.
On the way from Jinzhou City to Nanguandao Fort, nearly 300 people failed to follow them to Nanguandao Fort.
Except for some of these three hundred people who got lost, the rest died on the way to being chased. Even two of the soldiers who came with them to Nanguandao Fort died on the way.
Captain Wang and his soldiers stayed at Nanguandao Fort for more than an hour before returning to Jinzhou City.
On the other side, E Bilun rode his horse and returned to the camp before Tong Yangxing.
Seeing Mang Gurtai, E Bi Lun inevitably added some fuel and jealousy, placing the responsibility for Mu Tai's death and the escape of the defecting Han soldiers on Tong Yangxing.
As Ebilun's Ama, Mang Gurtai naturally believes in Ebilun's words.
Moreover, it was Tong Yangxing's responsibility to chase down the defecting Han soldiers. Ebi Lun was there to assist Tong Yangxing. Now that he has escaped, Tong Yangxing will naturally have to bear more responsibilities.
"Go and arrest Tong Yangxing!" Mang Gurtai ordered another of his subordinates.
His son cannot be at fault, and whether it is really Tong Yangxing's fault is not important. What is important is that the responsibility must be borne by Tong Yangxing.
"Hey!" The officer on the side took the order and retreated from the tent.
As soon as the officer left the tent, he immediately sent a team of soldiers and horses out of the camp to catch Tong Yangxing who was returning.
"E Bilun, tell me the truth, was Mu Tai's death due to Tong Yangxing?" Mang Gurtai stared at E Bilun solemnly.
The responsibility for the escape of the defecting Han soldiers can be borne by Tong Yangxing, because Tong Yangxing was the chief general in hunting down these defecting Han soldiers, but he had to figure out Mu Tai's death.
As the leader of the Zhenglan Banner, Mu Tai is the right-hand man of the banner owner. The death of such a person will also cause damage to him, the banner owner.
"Amma, Mu Tai's death was really because of Tong Yangxing. If he hadn't deliberately failed to provide timely support, Mu Tai would not have planted the ambush of the tiger thieves." E Bilun said.
Mang Gurtai stared at E Bilun's eyes for a long time, and finally said: "Remember what you just said, no matter who smells it, they must say that Mu Tai was killed by Tong Yangxing, do you understand?"
"Don't worry, Ama, the kid knows what to say." E Bilun nodded vigorously.
Dozens of miles are not friendly to infantry.
Especially when I have just finished walking these dozens of miles and have not had time to rest before walking again for the second time.
Previously, because he was chasing the defecting Han soldiers, Tong Yangxing kept urging his men to hurry up. Now there was no need to chase anyone anymore, so the return journey naturally slowed down.
After walking and resting, the counselor sent by Mang Gurtai found them, and Tong Yangxing and the Han soldiers were less than half way back.
Tong Yangxing was arrested directly.
None of the Han soldiers below rushed to stop the Eight Banners soldiers from arresting them. They watched helplessly as Tong Yangxing was put on a horse and taken directly back to the camp.
The news of Tong Yangxing's arrest soon became known to the people at Xianglan Banner.
As Tong Yangxing's ally, Jierhalang, after learning that Tong Yangxing had been captured by people from the Zhenglan Banner, immediately rushed to see Mang Gurtai with the people from the Xianglan Banner.
As soon as he entered Mang Gurtai's tent, he saw Tong Yangxing kneeling on the ground.
"What's going on with Big Beile? Why did you arrest General Tong!" Jierhalang said to Mang Gurtai. He walked to Tong Yangxing, untied the rope from Tong Yangxing's body, and Someone helped him up.
Tong Yangxing looked at Jierhalang with gratitude.
Jilharang came, and he knew that he could not die, otherwise Mang Gurtai would be so impulsive that he might actually kill him in battle.
After all, he is not a Jurchen.
In terms of treating Han people, Mang Gurtai is similar to Lao Nu. He kills whenever he says.
"Tong Yangxing not only let go of the defecting Han soldiers, but also killed Mu Tai. Do you think he should be killed?" Mang Gurtai said to Jierhalang with a cold face.
Jierhalang frowned when he heard this.
Mu Tai was an important subordinate of Mang Gurtai. Such a person was killed by Tong Yangxing. No wonder Mang Gurtai wanted to kill Tong Yangxing.
However, he knew that he could not let Mang Gurtai kill Tong to nourish his character.
Once Tong Yangxing dies, it will be even harder for him to compete with Mang Gurtai.
"Mu Tai is dead? How did he die?" Jierhalang asked Mang Gurtai, but his eyes were on Tong Yangxing.
He felt that Tong Yangxing should not be so foolish as to harm Mu Tai, the leader of the Zhenglan Banner.
"Do you think I would talk nonsense about this kind of thing?" Mang Gurtai asked back, and then before Jierhalang could speak, he added, "Tong Yangxing dared to harm a counselor leader, and I am ready to punish him. I don’t want you, Jilharang, to interfere in this matter.”
Of course Jierharang couldn't let Mang Gurtai deal with Tong Yangxing like this, and immediately said: "The matter of Tong Yangxing should be left to the Khan. The army just suffered a defeat. If Tong Yangxing is dealt with now, I'm afraid. It will destabilize the morale of the military."
E Bilun on the side interjected: "Mu Tai's death cannot be in vain. I think dealing with Tong Yangxing is also a warning to those Han soldiers. Let's see who dares to be dishonest."
"No, Tong Yangxing is a first-class general, and he is a Han general sent by the Great Khan to cooperate with Dabeile. Without the order of the Great Khan, no one can deal with Tong Yangxing at will." Jierharang saw that the father and son were both confused. We strongly oppose the disposal of Tong Yangxing.
