"Who the hell are you lying to?" Azig grabbed Chai Shihua's collar. The veins on his neck could be seen. He sprayed saliva on Chai Shihua's face. His voice was so loud that it could deafen Chai Shihua's ears. "You are leaving." The Ming Dynasty is so far away, how could we meet Wu Sangui?"
"Your Highness, it's absolutely true. It was Wu Sangui who attacked us." Chai Shihua said with a sad face, not caring about wiping the foam on his face, and hurriedly explained: "Really, I don't know how many times I have fought against Wu Sangui for more than a year. This time, I could hear their Guan Ningjun’s voice even in my sleep. It’s definitely Wu Sangui! Your Highness doesn’t believe it… If you don’t believe it, ask him!”
At this time, he couldn't care about anything and quickly pointed at Xilin Jueluo beside him.
Hearing the sound, Azige grabbed Chai Shihua's collar and kept staring at Xilinjueluo. His face was full of hostility and he shouted sternly: "Is it Wu Sangui's guy?"
"Wu Sangui doesn't know, but the troops who attacked our army definitely have a Liaodong accent. This is absolutely unmistakable." Xilin Jueluo replied quickly in the face of the powerful Azige.
When Azige heard this, he sternly cursed: "Damn it, Zu Dashou should be chopped into pieces with thousands of swords. It would be too easy for him to execute him like that!"
Then, he turned his head again, lifted up Chai Shihua's sleeve, and shouted angrily again: "How dare you dare to run back? Do you know how much impact it will have on today's war by throwing away so many people and materials? Why not Ask the nearby Mongolian tribe for help, and at least recover the food and supplies?"
Chai Shihua was holding his collar, and it was a little difficult to speak, but he didn't dare to struggle, so he could only keep it like this, and quickly defended: "Aren't the elites from various Mongolian ministries transferred to Guihua City? Besides... besides, maybe it's not okay It was the Mongolian tribes along the way who tipped off the Ming army. Otherwise, how would the Ming army know about it? It would be impossible for them to suddenly bump into it, right?"
In fact, he and Xilin Jueluo didn't even think about rescuing nearby, but fled directly to Huihua City.
However, there is some truth to what he said.
Upon hearing this, Azig threw hard and loosened his grip on the collar. He ignored Chai Shihua, who was retreating, and stared at the Chahar tribe. Because to the east of Guihua City are the pastures of the Chahar tribe.
Seeing this situation, the Chahar tribe panicked and immediately defended themselves, saying that they believed that the tribe would never inform the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, they would not have supplied supplies to the Qing army, and sent elite troops to follow orders. They had also entered the border with the Qing Dynasty to contain the Datong Ming army.
When Azig heard that it made sense, he stared at Chai Shihua again, his eyes as if he wanted to eat someone.
It's no wonder for him. After all, he is a leader in war. As soon as the food and grass are reduced and increased, he immediately knows how much impact it will have on the battle situation. Under such circumstances, it would be strange if he didn't go crazy.
When Chai Shihua saw this, he was naturally very frightened, so he asked Azig to shoulder all the responsibility for the loss of food and supplies. So, he immediately pointed to the leader of the Chahar tribe and said loudly: "It must be the people from the Chahar tribe who tipped off the Ming army! The people in their tribe were starving to death. They saw so much food and supplies passing by. , must have evil intentions! Besides, it’s not like there are no Mongols in the Ming army, the former Man Gui, and the current Ming Hussars Battalion Commander Hu Dawei, aren’t they all Mongolians!”
Indeed, among the Ming Dynasty's border troops, there were actually many Mongolians working as soldiers to earn a living. Just like Man Gui, Hu Dawei, etc., he accumulated merit and rose up in front of him, and became the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty. It shows that this kind of thing is actually quite common.
Upon hearing Chai Shihua's words, the leaders of the Chahar tribe felt as if they had been pricked by needles. They immediately jumped up and scolded Chai Shihua, saying that it was probably Chai Shihua who was calling him a thief. He was originally the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty. Maybe he was a spy from the Ming Kingdom, or he saw the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom marching in person and wanted to make a meritorious service and return to the Ming Kingdom, so his whereabouts were leaked.
Azig happened to know that Liaodong was secretly investigating the Ming generals who had defected to the Qing Dynasty, so he was a little suspicious. There were many Liu Xingzuo on the Qing side. Therefore, after hearing what the leader of the Chahar Department said, Azig also had doubts in his heart. Because Chai Shihua knew the entire itinerary, if he was the one who informed the Ming Dynasty, it would not be surprising at all why the Ming army would stay away from the border and rob the food supplies.
Chai Shihua saw that he had been bitten by the leader of the Chahar tribe. Of course, he could not admit it. He immediately pointed at the Chahar tribe and cursed: "You Tatars don't want me to report to the Ming Dynasty. If you want me to report to the Ming Dynasty, I will You are sick and you are still fleeing back to Huacheng? It is because people in your tribe are starving to death, so you are so anxious that you reported it to the Ming Kingdom."
"Who knows, maybe you want to continue to be a traitor to the Ming Dynasty and reveal the news about Guihua City to the Ming Dynasty Emperor to take credit!" Of course, the leader of the Chahar Department also refused to admit it and immediately retorted, "We Even if the Chahar tribe is dead, they are still ghosts of the Qing Dynasty. They will obey the orders of the Qing Dynasty and will never betray the Qing Dynasty!"
"..."
Listening to Chai Shihua and the leader of the Chahar tribe talking about each other, Xilinjueluo felt that it was unlikely that Chai Shihua was responsible. Because if it was really Chai Shihua who did it, he wouldn't have tried to kill chickens and monkeys in order to maintain the stability of the team.
But even though he thought so, he did not stand up to speak for Chai Shihua. Because so much food and supplies were lost, someone had to stand up and take responsibility. He was afraid that once he stood up and spoke, he would be attacked by the leader of the Chahar tribe. He was absolutely unwilling to get angry like that. As for whether Chai Shihua was wrongly accused, he didn't care.
Jirharang, who was standing next to him, had already come to his senses when Azig began to ask questions angrily. But he didn't speak, just looked on coldly. To be honest, he thought it was impossible for Chai Shihua and Chahar's leaders to say anything.
If Chai Shihua wanted to return to the Ming Dynasty, he would never have taken the initiative to offer advice and let the Qing Dynasty kill the Ming Dynasty generals in the northwest, wipe out so many Ming troops, and rob so many people and supplies. If he could do such a thing, wouldn't Chai Shihua be afraid of the Ming Emperor's anger?
However, he did not feel the possibility that the Chahar tribe's people were jealous of the food and supplies and reported it to the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, there would definitely be something a little strange about the leader of the Chahar Department. Unless it was something done privately by a few herdsmen in the Chahar tribe who were about to starve to death.
If it were normal times, Jierharang might secretly investigate. Has anyone from the Chahar Department been to the Ming border? This means that if he had to make a choice between Chai Shihua and the Chahar Department, the Chahar Department would be more likely to go. After all, people in the tribe have starved to death, and no one can guarantee that someone will jump over the wall in a desperate attempt to surrender to the Ming Dynasty!
However, at this time, he suddenly slammed the table and made a "pop" sound, interrupting the quarrel between Chai Shihua and the leader of the Chahar tribe, and shouted: "That's enough!"
Seeing Jierhalang, who was usually a nice guy, getting angry, both Chai Shihua and the leader of the Chahar tribe immediately shut up and bowed to Jierhalang, and the hall became silent.
Everyone knows that the finality of this matter ultimately depends on the supreme commander Jierhalang.
So, who will take responsibility for this incident? Everyone in the lobby was thinking this. Those who were not involved were curious, while those involved were nervous. Especially the leaders of the Chahar tribe, because they have no idea. If it is really the herdsmen of their own tribe who report to the Ming Dynasty, they will not be able to grasp the situation in Guihua City. It may or may not be true. .
Jierhalang glanced at everyone below, then stared at Chai Shihua and suddenly shouted: "Well, Chai Shihua, I trust you so much that I entrust you with such an important matter. But you are so cruel. Dedicate all the population and materials sent to Liaodong in exchange for the elite Qing aid to the Ming Kingdom in exchange for the Ming Emperor’s pardon for you..."
Hearing this, Chai Shihua was dumbfounded and shouted loudly: "Your Highness, I am unjust. If I were really like this, I would not have betrayed the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. I would not have repeatedly led troops to attack the Ming Dynasty." Your Highness, this villain is really unjust..."
Before he finished speaking, Jierharan snorted coldly and interrupted him: "Are you really so easy to be deceived when you become the king? You have a grudge against Ming general Wang Shichong, so you betrayed Ming Dynasty before. After killing that Wang Shichong, and hearing that the Ming Emperor was personally on the expedition, you wanted to offer a big gift to the Ming Emperor in order to return to the Ming Kingdom and continue to be your commander-in-chief..."
This time, Chai Shihua was anxious. He took the initiative to interrupt Jierhalang's speech for the first time, and said with sweat, "Your Highness, you are wronged! If this villain really wanted to go on this trip, how could he come back again?" Where is Huacheng?”
The leader of the Chahar tribe was relieved after listening to their conversation. He felt that Jierharang was wise and knew that Chai Shihua was the traitor.
"The purpose of running back to Huihua City is very simple!" Jierhalang said while still playing with firewood, Shihua put a hat on his head, "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty personally led the expedition, but he didn't even dare to go out. He just didn't know the details of my king, so he didn't dare You acted rashly, so I sent you back to continue to work carefully, with the intention of secretly reporting the military situation on my side to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty would be confident before going out to fight, right?"
Chai Shihua was dumbfounded. Is there such a possibility? He was really anxious. If he was really convicted of this crime, he didn't know how he would die.
So, he couldn't care about anything else. With a "pop", he immediately knelt down heavily with a lot of tears and runny nose. He was sweating profusely and cried to Jierhalang: "Your Highness, this villain is really unjust. The villain is loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and the world can learn from it! The villain has absolutely no intention of returning to the Ming Dynasty. The villain swears that he will love to be the dog of the Qing Dynasty in this life..."
"That's enough. Haven't you Han people done enough to rip things off?" Jierhalang shouted coldly, "You Han people are the most treacherous. Don't you have done enough to betray the Lord and seek glory for a little benefit?" Is that so? You are not the only one who does this, thinking that the king is blind."
At this point, he pointed at the leader of the Chahar tribe and said: "Mongolian men, all of them are resoundingly honest men. One is one, the other is two. They are definitely not as treacherous and hateful as you Han people. Do you dare not to do this?" admit?"
"..." Chai Shihua was speechless again. He didn't expect that Jierhalang would say this! Could it be that by betraying the Ming Dynasty and surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, this has given the Qing Dynasty a basis for distrust?
As he thought this, the sweat on his face dripped to the ground. He kowtowed repeatedly and argued loudly: "Your Highness Ming Jian, this villain is definitely loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and he is definitely not comparable to other Han people. The villain is against the big one." Qing is wholehearted..."
Azig beside him could no longer hold back his temper. He felt that Jierhalang's words were very reasonable. He knew that dogs were not good things, and how could they not eat the inside out?
Now, when he saw that Chai Shihua still didn't dare to admit it, he suddenly became furious. He immediately stepped forward and kicked Chai Shihua on the head, who was kowtowing, leaving a big shoe sole mark. The kick made Chai Shihua fall back, just like The turtle usually has its legs in the air and is in a miserable state.
At the same time, he made a "swish" sound, pulled out his sword, pointed it at Chai Shihua and shouted sternly: "You know there is no good thing in Mingguo. I will escape from your heart today and see if it is black or red!"
They all used knives, and Chai Shihua was so frightened that he lost his mind.
At this time, he suddenly felt a little regretful. Why did he refuse to serve as a good general of the Ming Dynasty for a certain thing and insisted on being a dog for Jianlu? Now I'm afraid he can't even be a dog!
This thought flashed through his mind, and he stood up and kowtowed with a loud "dong dong dong" sound, showing his sincerity. He begged for mercy with fear: "Your Highness, have mercy on me, Your Highness, have mercy on me. The villain is really a dog of the Qing Dynasty, the most loyal to his master! Your Highness..."
Just as he said this, Azig stepped on his back with another force, trampling him to the ground and unable to move. Then he said with a ferocious smile: "Then I will chop off your dog's head..."
After being treated like this and hearing about the upcoming fate, Chai Shihua was frightened. He didn't expect that he would surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but he would end up like this. He could no longer hold back his urine, and suddenly, the stench in the lobby filled the sky, but he didn't know it at all. He turned his head and saw something next to him. Xilinjueluo, who was standing on top, seemed to have grasped the last life-saving straw, and said hurriedly: "Sir, you know the villain's feelings towards the Qing Dynasty. Please help the villain to plead for mercy. The villain is really right." The most loyal dog in the Qing Dynasty, the villain..."
Before he could finish his words, Azige, with a look of disgust on his face, raised his knife and chopped off Chai Shihua's head. Suddenly, the world finally became peaceful. However, it still stinks.
Chai Shihua, the rebel general of the Ming Dynasty, repeatedly borrowed troops to cause trouble and caused trouble in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty. However, he escaped faster than a rabbit and eventually became the target of his new master!
