The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 197 Zhu Yuanzhang’s identity was exposed by him, and Wang Baobao wanted to attack Lord Ye with his entire army!
In Nai'er Fuhua's eyes, Wang Baobao looked at the scene in front of him and froze there.

He thought that Wang Baobao would be furious after reacting, but Wang Baobao was unusually calm.

There was definitely a fierce look in Wang Baobao's eyes, but there was absolutely no sign that he was about to explode with anger. He just walked forward slowly and looked at the gift Ye Qing gave him seriously.

A headless corpse was lying on a horse-drawn cart, with colorful ribbons tied around its body and a huge red flower on its chest.

In the gift box next to it, there is a big head that has been fully bled and washed very clean.

Not only that, there is also a piece of paper the size of a talisman stuck on his forehead.

Contents of the paper: "I am a scholar, so I don't talk about martial arts. I am dedicated to killing the envoys. If you want to hit me, hit me. If you don't come, I will kill you the next time I come."

Signed: "Ye Qing, magistrate of Yanmen County!"

Wang Baobao looked at this piece of paper, his eyes twitched slightly, his breathing gradually became heavier, and his fists gradually clenched.

But after all, he still didn't have that kind of attitude. He punched the panel of the truck and then angrily cursed Ye Qing for his shameless behavior.

You must know that Mahamu is his disciple!

The disciple was killed in such a humiliating manner and even given to him by the pig of the year. He only had a fierce look in his eyes and gradually clenched his fists. It can be said that he was very calm.

It can also be said that no one can face this situation and still be so calm.

Seeing this scene, Nai'er Buhua also knew that their Prince Qi was actually even more angry than he was before, but he didn't show it due to his status as the commander-in-chief of the three armies.

Nai'er Buhua saluted and said: "The general sent Mahamu to see Ye Qing in accordance with the king's wishes. One is to persuade Ye Qing to submit, and the other is to find out the reality of Yanmen."

"I never expected that Ye Qing would be so unruly!"

"The two deputy envoys told the general that Ye Qing found a middle-aged strong man to pretend to be himself, but he pretended to be a soldier and stood in front of the strong man."

"That strong man is full of official power, but he is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If we didn't know that Ye Qing is a young man, we would have been deceived."

"After they refused to cooperate, they politely let Mahamu leave, but then they sent people out to hunt him down."

"After chasing him back, Ye Qing did not interrogate him at all. He cut off Mahamu's head while he was sleeping, and then asked two deputy envoys to send him back!"

Speaking of which,

Nai'er Buhua continued her analysis: "The general doesn't understand that Ye Qing clearly knows that his age cannot be hidden, but he still wants to find a middle-aged man to pretend to be himself?"

"Shouldn't I find someone of similar age and stature to pretend to be myself?"

"Also, he had already decided to let them go, so why did he change his mind and pursue them?"

"After we chased him back, he should have interrogated our military intelligence, but not only did he not interrogate, but he also cut off Mahamu's head while he was asleep?"

"He didn't kill all the people, and even asked two deputy envoys to come back. Is it really just for someone to send the body back to piss you off?"

"."

Nai'er finished talking about all the doubtful points that came to his mind that night without taking a breath.

Wang Baobao didn't pay attention to him, he just sat on the superior seat, then closed his eyes, sighed softly and said: "According to our customs, let the beetle take him to where he should go!"

Nai'er Buhua was just stunned for a moment, then she patted her left chest with her right hand, bowed slightly, and made arrangements for the funeral.

There are several funeral customs of the Mongolian people, including the 'Ten Thousand Horses Trampling' ceremony for emperors, princes and great Khans, and the 'Tianniu Funeral Ceremony' for ordinary nobles!
The so-called burial of beetles is to put the body on a small wooden ox cart and let the ox run. The place where the body falls is the burial place.

After the people following on horseback found the body, they dug a hole there and buried it.

By the second year, the grass here will definitely grow better than other places!
After a while, Nai'er Buhua returned to the commander's tent: "Your Majesty, the general has made arrangements."

After Wang Baobao heard these words, he opened his already scarlet eyes and said coldly and deeply: "Ye Qing?"

"What an unruly Ye Qing!"

"This king will definitely kill this official in my lifetime!"

Wang Baobao doesn't have the aura of an emperor, so his fierce look is far less scary than Zhu Yuanzhang, but it still makes people feel very permeable.

"Let the two deputy envoys come to see me."

Wang Baobao's voice is still not very loud, but every word is very loud.

After the two deputy envoys arrived, Wang Baobao began his cross-examination, but he was much more detailed than when Nai'er didn't ask them last night. It can be said that he was very detailed!

He even asked in detail what the middle-aged man pretending to be Ye Qing looked like, but the deputy did not enter the county government's combat command room and did not know what the middle-aged man looked like.

They just said that the middle-aged man's voice was powerful and domineering, and there was a certain sense of vicissitudes of life!
After asking for news about the middle-aged man, he then asked in detail the level of the person who was chasing them.

The deputy envoy respectfully replied: "The people who are chasing us are highly skilled in martial arts and have superb riding skills. Even Pegasus riding and shooting are no less than our grassland marksmen. They must be specially trained elite soldiers."

"But judging from their skills in swooping down from their horses to capture us, it doesn't look like they were trained to fight on the battlefield. Instead, they look like head catchers who specialize in apprehending us."

"We were captured in that maze, so we couldn't see the skills of the thirty-year-old man who captured Mahamu."

"But when we were captured and sent back, we saw the reaction of the soldiers on the city wall."

"They were condescending and could see very clearly. When they saw the man arresting Mahamu, everyone was shocked and applauded again and again!"

"."

After the cross-examination, Wang Baobao just waved his hand gently and sent the deputy envoy away.

"You go out too!"

Nai'er Buhua pointed at herself and said, "Your Majesty, should I go out too?"

"go out!"

Although Nai'er Buhua was a little unhappy, she still bowed respectfully and left the handsome tent.

He knew that His Highness King Qi, who had become the de facto lord of the grassland, needed a quiet environment to think. Perhaps when he was called in again, it would be the time to issue military orders.After Nai'er Buhua left, Wang Baobao lay down on the sand table alone, his eyes constantly wandering at the east, west and middle gates of Yanmen Pass.

Since Yanmen County's mountainous area accounts for [-]%, it is a county protected by mountains.

If you want to enter Yanmen County, there is no other way except these three gates.

It's not that there isn't a road. There are also some extremely rugged, narrow and hidden mountain roads, but it's absolutely impossible to march on such roads.

Furthermore, the Great Wall on the ridge is like a long chain that cannot be crossed at all.

If he wanted to capture the city, and if he wanted to make Yanmen Magistrate Ye Qing and that mysterious middle-aged man kneel in front of him, the only way was to break through those three city gates.

Yes,

In his opinion, Wang Baobao, Yanmen County Magistrate Ye Qing and the middle-aged man pretending to be him are both very mysterious.

The reason why Ye Qing is not mysterious is that he knows that Ye Qing is a young man who has the talent to govern the world!
The mystery of Ye Qing is that he doesn't know Ye Qing's talent in leading troops. It can also be said that he doesn't know whether Ye Qing has the talent to lead troops.

He didn't even know if the Yanmen Special Agent Brigade, which made their spies never return, was trained by Ye Qing.

Not only that, he also suspected that the several spies who escaped on the night of the harvest carnival in Yanmen County had really worked, or whether they had let them back deliberately to pass on incorrect information to him.

"Is it really true that the east and west gates of Yanmen Pass are fully defended, but only the middle gate, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend, is sparsely defended?"

"is it possible?"

"No normal person would set up defenses like this!"

"But the deputy envoy said that the central gate is indeed sparsely defended and has old equipment. It is completely consistent with the news brought back by the spies!"

"Regardless of whether Ye Qing knows how to fight or not, judging from his ability to govern, he should be an extremely smart person!"

"A smart man will kill my beloved disciple. Are you really not afraid that I will become angry in shame?"

"The smart man didn't finish killing the envoys, so he just let them come back to report?"

"Is he really not afraid that I will gather the entire army to attack the central gate that is easy to attack but difficult to defend?"

"Do not,"

"There must be a back-up in this middle gate!"

"Although the east and west gates also have an 'eight' opening, the plain in the middle is not really flat. The attack is much more difficult than the middle gate. However, he placed all the cannons on the east and west gates, but there is only one cannon in the middle gate. No!"

"Whether it's the layout of the city's defenses, their attitude towards the envoys, or the information they let spies find out, they all tempted me to concentrate my forces to attack the central gate!"

"If I really do this, I will be fooled!"

Thinking of this, Wang Baobao issued a military order again, that is, to send three groups of reconnaissance cavalry to take a look at Sanmen.

If the city defense layout we see now is really that the east and west gates are complete and the middle gate is sparse, then it proves that his guess is correct.

In this way, we must not attack this central goal that is easy to attack and difficult to defend!
After issuing the military order,
Wang Baobao began to guess again about the identity of the mysterious middle-aged man.

"The voice is powerful, domineering and vicissitudes of life?"

"The people who are chasing them are more proficient in mounted archery than the prairie marksmen. They are elite soldiers tempered on the battlefield!"

"Their arresting skills are like those of a head catcher who specializes in this kind of thing?"

"Who in the Ming Dynasty is both an elite soldier who can kill on the battlefield, and a great hunter who can chase down murderers thousands of miles away?"

"The emperor's personal guard, a member of the Imperial Guard's Mansion?"

"Then that middle-aged man with a strong, domineering and vicissitudes of life, is it him?"

Thinking of this, Wang Baobao immediately became excited and wished he could order the entire army to attack without hesitation.

But his excitement only lasted for a moment, and then turned into extreme disappointment!

Because he just felt that he was overthinking it!
How smart was the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty?

A person who can make Xu Da, Tang He, and Chang Yuchun die loyal, will he personally be involved in danger?

Besides, Queen Ma beside him is famous for her rationality and the famous 'Female Zhuge'!
Thinking of this, he gave this mysterious middle-aged man the title of 'imperial envoy'.

Because the imperial envoys of the Ming Dynasty represented the emperor, it was normal and appropriate for some pro-military captains to follow and protect them.

In Wang Baobao's view, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who sent the imperial envoy to investigate Ye Qing, and then the imperial envoy was 'bribed' by Ye Qing.

It is precisely because of this that the pro-military captain helped in the pursuit.

After thinking about all this, he immediately lost interest in attacking with the whole army. He just sat here and waited for the report of the scouting horse.

Wang Baobao knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was not only a smart man, but also a master of burning bridges across rivers.

He was just an imperial envoy. If he died, he would die. He wouldn't care at all.

At most, he would be angry because the imperial envoy's death was worthless, but he would never be sad because an imperial envoy died.

Therefore, in order to capture alive an imperial minister whom Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about at all without talking about strategy and tactics, it is absolutely uneconomical and unnecessary business!
lunch time,

The detective horse sent out by Wang Baobao has already appeared in the sight of the three gate guards.

The three guards almost reacted in the same way at the same time, that is, they asked the powerful archers to join them, directly draw their bows and prepare to shoot.

But almost at the same time, they were stopped by the three defense commanders, that is, the three commanders.

They knew that this might be the person sent by Wang Baobao to confirm the news.

If this is the case, if this arrow were shot, it would not only kill the scout, but also directly defeat their Master Ye's plan.

The three commanders immediately asked the semaphore soldiers to pass the news back to the combat command room through semaphore!
