Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 959 Conflict
Compared with Tatar, who has the blood of the golden family as a great khan, Oala actually does not have an orthodox advantage on the grassland. Even, in terms of military strength, Tatar has more troops than Oirat.

The grassland is vast, and there are countless large and small tribes on the vast grassland. The big tribes fight against each other, and the small tribes struggle to survive. This is an eternal law.

Unlike the Central Plains, which has been unified since the Qin Dynasty, on the grassland, to measure the strength of a party, in addition to the number of herdsmen and the strength of its troops, it also depends on whether it can occupy the most fertile pastures and whether it can To ensure that herdsmen can live in peace.

Like Tatar, Oala is not just a tribe, but is composed of several large tribes plus a dozen small and medium tribes.

Among them, the most powerful tribe is undoubtedly the Junggar tribe controlled by the Chuoros family, which occupies the most favorable grassland in the entire Wala, has the most herdsmen and livestock, and also has the most powerful cavalry.

However, unlike the several large tribes of Tatar that are adjacent to each other, Oala is a typical small settlement. A large tribe is surrounded by one or two medium-sized tribes, and the outermost is five to six small tribes. A tribal group.

The Old Wara Camp is the core area of ​​the Junggar tribe, and it is also the old nest of the Choros family. It has already entered winter on the grassland, and the raging wind is blowing, reflecting the vast grassland, with several small and large ink dots.

The horses neighed and galloped over. This was a troop of cavalry, not many in number, only about 50 people, but they were all veterans, well-equipped, and what was even more peculiar was that they were wearing the armor of the Ming Dynasty army. On the grassland, he didn't intend to hide his whereabouts at all.

The leader was a young general with a tall stature and a wild face. He looked like a man capable of recruiting good fighters. However, the occasional flash of anxiety in his eyes always made people feel uneasy.

"It took another ten miles before we really entered the range of the Junggar Ministry. However, along the way, there were more than one wave of sentries in the open and dark. It seems that they have indeed entered a state of combat readiness."

The piercing whistle sounded, accompanied by the sound of the ground trembling as the cavalry galloped. The young general reined in his horse's head and stopped moving forward. Feeling the movement from afar, he frowned.

"The number of people coming is not too many, about 500 people, everyone beware."

As he spoke, he drew out the long knife at his waist and looked into the distance. Everyone followed his movements and prepared for battle.

However, they didn't go any further, but just defended in place. Obviously, they didn't intend to take the initiative to provoke.

The roaring cavalry could already be seen in the distance, clenched the long knife in his hand, the young general was not overly nervous, but turned sideways, and asked the person beside him again.

"Are you sure that the third brother is really in the old camp?"

The person he asked was obviously a veteran, with an ordinary appearance, but his status in the entire team was obviously not low.

Hearing the young general's question, he didn't say much, just said.

"I don't know. Before I left, Yang Zhenfu's original words were that if he could get an order from the imperial court, he would go directly to the Old Wara camp to find him."

"Okay, then I'm relieved!"

The young general exhaled lightly, turned around again, and shouted loudly.

"alert!"

As soon as the voice fell, a round of arrows rained down in the distance. However, the people who came this time were all veterans of battles, so naturally they did not panic. They retreated slightly and escaped this round of attacks .

Of course, this is just the simplest appetizer. Just as they organized their resistance, the cavalry in the distance continued to charge forward. In a short while, they had already arrived in front of them, and quickly formed an encirclement circle. The team was tightly wrapped up.

"Mingjun?"

"How dare you come to my headquarters camp!"

Surrounded by a group of cavalry, a burly figure appeared, with a scimitar hanging from his waist, wearing gold and jade, and wearing the iconic Mongolian noble costume, with a rough voice.

"Who is coming?"

"Who am I? It turns out to be His Excellency King Saikan."

The young general reined in his horse's head and took a few steps forward. He was at ease and fearless. He came to the front amidst the sharp arrows around him, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Why, don't you know your old friend?"

"Yang Jun!"

Seeing the person's face clearly, the Mongolian nobleman was a little surprised. At the same time, a strong killing intent appeared in his eyes, he licked his lips, he said.

"You are so brave. How dare you come here. Now that you are here, don't leave. Just stay with your useless younger brother on the grassland."

These words revealed a lot of information, the most useful of which was naturally the news about Yang Jie's whereabouts.

Of course, from this tone, the situation is obviously not very optimistic.

As a result, Yang Jun's face immediately sank, and said.

"Where's my brother?"

"Go underground and meet him!"

Surprisingly, King Saikan didn't mean to talk to Yang Jun at all. After saying this, he waved and ordered the Wala cavalry present to prepare to attack.

Seeing this situation, Yang Jun also clenched the long knife in his hand, and began to form a formation, ready to break through.

However, at this moment, there was another rush of horseshoes in the distance.

This time there were obviously not many people, only a dozen or so riders, but the speed was very fast, obviously coming at a gallop.

"stop!"

People arrive before their voices arrive.

Also an old acquaintance, Bodu who fled from the capital not long ago!

Seeing Bodu's figure, Yang Jun breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to slack off, and still maintained a defensive posture, watching the changes.

At this time, Bodu had also come to the field, but what Yang Jun noticed was that his arrival did not make the surrounding Oirat soldiers put down their weapons, and they still maintained the appearance of being ready to attack at any time.

"I have seen Your Excellency, King Bodu, but I don't know if Brother She can be with Your Excellency?"

With a move in his heart, Yang Jun shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Bodu, who originally wanted to talk to Saikan Wang first, immediately looked at Yang Jun and the others.

After seeing clearly who Yang Jun was, there was an indiscernible trace of relief between his brows, and said.

"It turned out to be the famous second general of the Yang family. It's been a long time!"

This attitude was obviously much better than that of the Saikan Wang who was about to start fighting just now, and it also made Yang Jun put the stone in his heart down again.

After the two gestured from a distance, Bodu rode his horse to King Saikan and whispered a few words, because the distance was not too close, so he couldn't hear what he said clearly.

However, it was obvious that there was some dispute between the two, and even in the end, when the two spoke, they were obviously angry.

But in the end, Bodu still had the upper hand, because it didn't take long for King Saikan to put on a sullen face and waved his hand, telling the people he brought to put away their weapons.

Seeing this situation, Yang Jun also signaled his men to put away their weapons, and was about to speak, but saw Saikan Wang glanced at him coldly, then reined in his horse and turned away, as if he didn't want to say a word to him. Say more.

The cavalry on the prairie came and went quickly.

In just a moment, almost all the people brought by King Saikan just withdrew. However, at this time, Yang Jun noticed one more thing, that is, not all the people withdrew.

They did not cover up their whereabouts along the way, so King Saikan should have gotten the news a long time ago and came to surround them with his cavalry.

But Bodu was different, he only brought a dozen people with him, and he only brought the simplest scimitar as equipment, obviously he came in a hurry.

Now King Saikan has retreated, but he did not withdraw all the cavalry he brought, but left half of about 300 people, still surrounding Yang Jun and others in place.

After King Saikan disappeared, Bodu seemed relieved, he reined in his horse's head and came to Yang Jun, saying.

"Second General Yang, my younger brother is reckless, I laughed at you."

"I don't know what the Second General Yang is doing when he comes to my headquarters this time."

The Yang family has been guarding the border for many years. Whether it is Yang Jun, Yang Xin, or Yang Neng, they have all had a lot of dealings with the major tribes in Wala. Naturally, the two sides also have a basic understanding.

For example, this Bodu, although he looks polite, is actually the most vicious.

Yang Junce stepped forward immediately, and said without saying a word of nonsense.

"Of course I came to look for my third brother!"

Seeing this situation, Bodu's expression changed slightly, he looked at the dozens of horsemen behind Yang Jun, and said.

"The name of King Yang certainly moves the grasslands."

"However, General Yang Er brought less than [-] horses and horses, and I'm afraid it's a little too much to come to my Wala headquarters to rob people."

Seeing that Bo Du mentioned Yang Hong, Yang Jun narrowed his eyes and said.

"Since you know my father's name, you should know that I came here to pick up people, not to steal them. If you don't want to hand them over, then the next time I come, I'm afraid it won't be me, and it won't be these dozens of riders. .”

It has to be said that Yang Jun's words are very strong, as if this place is not within the scope of the Wara headquarters, but in Xuanfu city.

In fact, if the king of Saikan was here, he would not be able to finish these words, and he would definitely meet with swords.

However, Bo is different, even though these words have made the remaining Oirat soldiers gradually angry, Ke Bo still has a calm face, said.

"When it comes to questioning, it's not General Yang Er's turn, right?"

"This time, the three young masters sneaked into the grassland, joined forces, and in a chic and unrestrained manner, successively trapped and killed me Tatar Khan and Jinong, and took my grand master's life."

"No matter how you look at it, it should be me, Wala, who asked Daming for an explanation, right? Why does General Yang Er seem to be the fault of me, Wala?"

It has to be said that Yang Jun is not good at arguing with words, and he fell into a disadvantage in a few words, so he had to turn back to the topic and ask directly.

"Stop talking nonsense, where is third brother?"

However, this time, Bodu also raised his airs, glanced at Yang Jun and the team behind him, and said.

"Third Young Master, everything is fine. As long as Second General Yang answers me, I will bring you to see him right away."

"What?"

Yang Jun raised his vigilance in his heart and asked.

Bodu squinted his eyes and said.

"The last time I went to the capital to pay tribute on behalf of the Grand Master, I seem to have heard the news. If I remember correctly, Second General Yang is now wearing a sinful body."

"I don't know what kind of identity Second General Yang used to come to Oala this time. Is he a special envoy of the Ming Dynasty? Or... a private deserter?"

This question made the atmosphere tense immediately.

The whistling north wind swept by, adding a bit of chilling air.

Yang Jun clenched the long knife in his hand and was about to speak when a voice sounded beside him.

"Your Excellency King Bodu, you might as well take a look at this first, and then judge our identity."

The person who appeared suddenly did not identify himself or explain anything, but directly took out a secret letter, got off his horse, and handed it over.

Yang Jun didn't speak, just watched this person's movements.

He doesn't know the specific identity of this person, but he knows one thing, the origin of this person is not simple.

At the beginning, he was exiled and guarded on the border because he was drunk and killed an official of the court.

Fortunately, the Son of Heaven was still a bit merciful, and put the exile in Longmenwei, where he could get the care of the Yang family, and his life was still passable.

Yang Jun originally thought that within a few years or even more than ten years, he would not be able to stand up, but what he didn't expect was that just a few days ago, Yang Xin went to the Longmen Guard late at night and asked him to secretly bring fifty cavalry, Go to the old camp of Wala to rescue Yang Jie.

The person in front of him was brought by Yang Xin. Regarding his identity, Yang Xin didn't say much, only one sentence.

"Before meeting the third brother, I listened to this man!"

So, there is the current situation.

Seeing this person striding forward and handing over the secret letter, Yang Jun's body tensed silently, for fear that the other side would explode at any time.

However, it was obvious that his worries were unnecessary. Bodu took the secret letter, glanced at it first, and then his face became a little weird, as if he saw something unexpected.

After a while, he put away the secret letter, frowned and looked at the plain-looking soldier in front of him, and asked.

"That's all? Nothing else?"

The tone was not kind, and even a little bit dissatisfied, so that Yang Jun almost couldn't help but galloped forward.

However, in the face of such heavy pressure, the soldier still didn't respond, he just said in a dry tone.

"This is all I can show you!"

The meaning behind these words is not simple.

The implication is that there may be other things, but they cannot be shown to Bodu, and it is also possible that there is really only this one.

Faced with such a situation, Bodu was obviously a little surprised. He frowned and glanced at Yang Jun and the others, and soon made a decision.

Afterwards, a warm smile soon appeared on his face, and said.

"General Yang Er came from afar, no matter what, let me do my landlord's favor."

"We are old friends with the Yang family. My Grand Master has always admired the prestige of King Yang. I just got the news that the Second General Yang is coming. I am very happy. I have already prepared a banquet in the camp. General, please come with me."

While speaking, Bodu ordered people to get out of the way, made a gesture of please, and waited for Yang Jun's response.

Seeing this situation, Yang Jun hesitated for a moment, and glanced at the soldier who came back behind him. Seeing that the other party didn't respond, he didn't say anything more, simply arranged the formation, and led the people to follow Bodu moved forward, heading towards the old camp of Wala...
