At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

As night fell, the train slowly stopped.

A man dressed as an official got out of the car in a hurry and showed the official document of the Ministry of War. The staff on the platform did not dare to neglect, and immediately led people to a special passage. There were prepared horses here, similar to the six hundred li express station.

The guards at the gate of the city saw the flag on the back of this person, didn't even ask, and opened the gate to let him go.

Commanding the yamen, Cao Nai was just about to fall asleep when he heard someone shouting outside.

"The Ministry of War urgently reports, may I ask where is Mr. Cao and Mr. Zhang?"

When Cao Nai heard the urgent report from the Ministry of War, he immediately pulled on his shoes and pushed the door out.

"Is it Ting Yi's report?"

"Exactly, Yu Shangshu and Juluhou jointly played the report, please read it, Mr. Cao!"

At this time, Zhang Yi, Kuang Ye and others also rushed over after hearing the sound, staring closely at the memorial in Cao Nai's hand.

This time the army went out, whether it was in terms of strength or equipment, it had already formed a crushing trend.

According to common sense, this battle should be pushed all the way, and the remnants of the Tatars should be killed.

The urgent report was sent at this time, and it was a little abnormal, which meant that something must have happened.

Moreover, it will never be a good thing.

After Cao Nai opened it, he quickly scanned it and handed it to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi took the report, frowned and said, "What is Tuotuobuhua doing?"

Kuang Ye couldn't bear it and snatched it over. After looking at it, his face immediately changed.

"Could it be that the unidentified cavalry is the remnant of the Tatars?"

Cao Naizheng nodded, and said: "According to what Ting Yi and Juluhou said, besides the Tatars, there are Japanese and Jurchens. They came prepared!"

Kuang Ye was so angry that his beard blew up, and he said, "These bastards dare to sneak into my Daming territory, who gave them the courage?"

After a little silence, Zhang Yi suddenly said: "Either, they are crazy, or... there is an internal reaction!"

Everyone's faces were ugly, and the scene became quiet again.

Those present are all bigwigs in high positions, and you can figure out the joints with just a little thought.

Tuotuobuhua is not a fool. He has endured the bitter cold in the extreme north for many years, but today he suddenly broke into the hinterland of Daming. There is only one reason, he is ready to fight to the death!
Since he has already bet all his wealth and life, it is absolutely impossible to come here to die.

They successfully broke through the Onan River defense line, and they were able to get the horses. There were signs that someone was coming to meet them.

Kuang Ye raised his head and said, "It's not too late, send troops to encircle and suppress immediately!"

Cao Nai and Zhang Yi nodded, and then told Wu Heng, the right servant of the Ministry of War, "You go back to the capital right now, transfer the capital camp and leave the customs!"

Wu Heng's face was a little ugly, and he said: "The emperor is not here, so he dispatched troops without authorization..."

Kuang Ye was short-tempered, and immediately scolded: "It's this time, why are you still adhering to those rules? The purpose of transferring the Beijing camp out of customs is to protect the emperor, what's the matter, I will bear it!"

Although he is no longer the Minister of the Ministry of War, many officials of the Ministry of War are from his disciples, including the current Minister of the Ministry of War, Yu Qian. Strictly speaking, he can be regarded as his disciple.

Wu Heng didn't dare to refuse any more, but he still hesitated.

"How about this, please Cao Gong and Zhang Gong return to Beijing together with Bei Zhi."

It is a big deal to deploy troops without authorization, and if you do not want to punish the nine clans, if the two big bosses of the cabinet go back, the matter will be much easier.

Zhang Yi said, "I'll go back, Duke Cao will stay!"

Cao Nai nodded and said, "Thank you!"

At that moment, Zhang Yi and Wu Heng rode fast horses and rushed back to the capital overnight.

Cao Nai and Kuang Ye stayed in Orkhon City, because the emperor disappeared here, and the enemy's target was also here.

After hearing the news, Gula came over and asked about the situation, feeling a little agitated.

"It must be that Xiqike wanted to take revenge first, and that's why he colluded with Tuotuobuhua, intending to rebel!"

Cao Nai and Kuang Ye nodded together, and said: "That makes sense, otherwise, a mere 2000 people going deep into the hinterland of the desert is no different from sending them to death."

Gula clasped his fists together: "My lords, I suggest that Xiqike be beheaded immediately for public display, so as to completely cut off Tuotuobuhua's internal response, and at the same time, it can also deter the young people!"

Cao Nai frowned, now that it is certain that Qi Qike colluded with foreign enemies, he should be killed, but where is the emperor?
If it was really Qi Qike who hid the emperor and killed her, would the emperor be in danger?
Kuang Ye understood his worry, and said: "It's better to have a trial overnight. If she can hand over the emperor, she can consider to spare her life."

Hearing this, Gula's expression changed drastically, and he said, "My lords, now that the enemy is at hand, you must not be kind to women!"

Cao Nai said: "However, the whereabouts of the emperor are still unknown..."

"I will dig the entire Mobeiwei three feet into the ground, and I will be able to find the emperor!"

Cao Nai stopped talking, but looked at Kuang Ye.

Kuang Ye pondered for a long time, and then said: "So far, we have not obtained conclusive evidence of the Qiqi Ketong thief, in case there is something hidden about this matter..."

"What more evidence do you need?"

Gula looked anxious, and said: "Things are already obvious. If Tuotuobuhua has no one to respond to them, how can they enter the desert smoothly? Moreover, the direction they are heading is Orkhon City. Where in the world is there such a thing?" A coincidence?"

Seeing that Cao Nai and Kuang Ye were still hesitating, Gula's expression turned serious, and he said, "To be honest with you two adults, over the years, Qi Qike has taken advantage of his position as a command envoy to smuggle a large amount of supplies from the Central Plains, and even had a relationship with the Raksha people. trade with each other.”

"What did you say?"

Cao Nai's face was gloomy. Although there was no large-scale conflict between the Raksha people and Daming, they have been ready to move all these years.

What is certain is that the Rakshasa people are neither friends nor foes.

Qiqike actually smuggled supplies with the Raksha people, isn't it a disguised form for the enemy?
"With such a thing, why not report it to the court?"

Gula showed a embarrassed expression, and said: "The lowly official is soft-spoken, and Qiqike is impeccable, so it is difficult to catch her. Even if the lowly official puts his life on the line, I am afraid she will find a way to suppress it."

Cao Nai knew that Qi Qike was not a simple person, but had a lot of tricks, so he didn't think too much about Gula's words, so he said: "If she really cheated on the Raksha people, she will be punished!"

Gula's eyes lit up, and he said, "Qiqike smuggled a large amount of alcohol not long ago, and he sold it to the Raksha people. There is evidence for his humble position!"

"how many?"

"About [-] catties!"

"It really makes no sense!"

Cao Nai looked at Kuang Ye and said, "This person cannot be kept!"

Kuang Ye nodded, and said: "Gula, you go to rectify the troops and set off tomorrow. Be sure to stop Tuotuobuhua and prevent them from approaching Orkhon City. Before leaving, kill Qiqike before the battle. To boost morale!"

Gu La clasped his fists: "The humble post obeys the order!"
