Chapter 874. Guilty.
……
……
The Mongol coalition army is composed of the army of the Dzungar Khanate and the Mongolian right-wing tribes, with a total of nearly 60,000 troops, of which the Junggar Khanate's descendant army is about 25,000 people, the servant army of various ethnic groups is about 20,000 people, and the cavalry of the Mongolian right-wing tribes is also about 15,000 people.
In other words, at the very beginning, the Mongol coalition was dominated by the Dzungar Khanate, supplemented by the Mongol right-wing tribes - it is precisely because of this that Bagen naturally became the commander of the Mongol coalition army, with absolute control.
However, because of the repeated division of troops and battles during this period of time, the strength of the Mongol coalition army remaining under the city of Jiezhou is now only half of the initial number, and because most of these divisions of troops are the use of the descendants and servant armies of the Dzungar Khanate, the composition of the force has also quietly changed, and the cavalry of the Mongolian right-wing tribes has accounted for nearly half!
Therefore, in the camp of the Mongolian coalition army at this time, any wind and grass could not hide from Sigmu's ears and eyes, whether it was the news that Tanma had discovered the reinforcements of the Gansu military town, or the fact that Su He fled back to the camp after suffering a fiasco, Sigmu received the news as soon as possible, and there was no need for Bagen's notice at all.
Even the seasoned and calm Bagan couldn't help but panic when he suddenly received these news, let alone the younger and inexperienced Siegmu.
After receiving the news, Sigmu immediately jumped up from the recliner and exclaimed, "What did you say? The military town of Gansu sent troops to support Jiezhou City? Suhe and Amur's army supporting Gugan suffered a great defeat and almost annihilated? How can it be! ”
As he screamed, Siegmu's expression was flustered and pale, and he was a little at a loss.
Seeing Sigmu's performance, the Mongolian leader who was in charge of reporting the news hurriedly replied: "The news should not be false, the reinforcements of the Gansu military town that are currently rushing here are as high as more than 30,000, and the scouts have repeatedly confirmed it; As for Su He's defeat and escape back to the camp, it was even more seen by the villain, the tens of thousands of cavalry who came out of the camp yesterday only escaped back less than 2,000 people, and the rest of the people were probably all wiped out by the Han army...... Su He and their camp this time was originally to rush to the aid of the Gugen leader of the Zhenning Acropolis, but now it seems that the Gugen leader's army is probably also very auspicious......"
After confirming the authenticity of the news, Sigmu's expression became more and more flustered, and he muttered: "In other words, the Mongol coalition army now has only twenty or thirty thousand troops left, and it is not only a lone army that penetrates deep into the enemy's territory, but also will be surrounded by the Han army at any time?" How good is that? How good is that? …… No, I'll have to go to Bargan to get an idea! He's the commander of the coalition forces, and he must escort me safely back to the Loop......"
Normally, Siegmu is always unconvinced by Bagan and struggles with Bagen everywhere, but when it comes to a real crisis, Siegmu's subconscious still trusts Bagan's judgment more, and even regards Bagen as the backbone.
Speaking of the back, Qi Gemu had already pulled out his feet and walked out of the tent, but he couldn't care about Wang Quan and Wang Ying anymore.
But at this time, Wang Ying, who had been ignored by everyone, suddenly shouted loudly: "Lord Sigmu, please stay, I have something important to tell you!" ”
The two consecutive days and nights of torture had already made Wang Ying's body extremely weak, but his shouts at this time were extremely loud, which made Qi Gemu stop.
However, now that it was an emergency, Qi Gemu obviously had no time to pay attention to Wang Ying, but after turning his head and glancing at Wang Ying, he ordered the people around him: "Put these two Han people in prison, I can't take care of them now!" Tell the sons and daughters, leave their lives for the time being, don't torture to death, I'm not done yet! ”
With that, Siegmu was about to walk away again.
Seeing that Sigmu completely ignored his meaning, a trace of eagerness flashed in Wang Ying's eyes, but his tone became much softer and calmer, and he shouted again: "Lord Sigmu, you have been tortured and interrogated me for two consecutive days, and I am now about to confess that I am the internal response sent by the Han people, why do you need to leave in a hurry?" Don't you want to get some information about the Han Chinese army from me? ”
This statement immediately shocked everyone in the tent, and Sigmu couldn't help but stop again.
Next to him, Wang Quan, who was tortured together, turned his head to look at Wang Ying in a daze, thinking that Wang Ying had gone crazy under torture.
Then, Siegmu turned around and walked quickly in front of Wang Ying, staring at Wang Ying's bloodstained face with a pair of eyes, gritting his teeth and asking, "Are you really the internal response sent by the Han people?" ”
Wang Ying's heart secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression became more relaxed, and he said slowly: "Of course, I won't hide it from you until now, from the very beginning, all this was a plan set up by Lord Qincha for your Mongolian coalition army!" Whether it is your easy attack on the hinterland of the Han people, or the easy fall of the Acropolis of Zhenning, or my initiative to take refuge, it is all part of this plan, which is to let you despise and boldly attack Jiezhou City, and then use Jiezhou City to drag you down, and take advantage of the time when you are storming Jiezhou City, Lord Qincha has mobilized the troops of the three major military towns of Gansu, Ningxia and Guyuan, and arranged a heavy encirclement for you...... You have just received the news, whether it is the crushing defeat of Suhe and their troops, or the appearance of reinforcements from the Gansu military town, it shows that you have now fallen into the siege......"
Hearing Wang Ying's statement, Qi Gemu couldn't help but be furious, pointed at Wang Ying and shouted angrily: "The Han people are really cunning and despicable! Don't dare to confront our Mongolian coalition army head-on, you will only use conspiracy and calculation! But your ruse will not succeed! How could those cowardly and incompetent Han Chinese armies be the opponents of my Mongol warriors? Even if you set up a heavy siege, you will definitely not be able to stop the charge of the Mongol warriors! ”
Wang Ying sneered: "Lord Zigmu, do you believe these words yourself?" If you are really confident, why are you panicking because of the appearance of reinforcements from the Gansu military town? If the Mongolian cavalry is really invincible in the world, what is the fate of the cavalry under the command of Su He and Gugen? Sigmu-sama, don't have any more illusions, things have developed to this point, Lord Qincha has completed the arrangement, and you are alone in the depths, the army has suffered a great loss, whether it is the time, the place, the people, you are at an absolute disadvantage, I am afraid that you will be unable to escape! ”
Hearing Wang Ying's ridicule, Qi Gemu suddenly became more and more angry, and shouted: "It's just a prisoner under the ranks, and he dares to be so arrogant, see how I can clean you up!" ”
After speaking, Qi Gemu snatched a horsewhip from the guards beside him, intending to whip Wang Ying fiercely.
Seeing Sigmu's annoyed and angry appearance, Wang Ying was not afraid, but instead smiled and said slowly: "Don't be anxious, Lord Sigmu, don't you think it's strange, why did I choose this time to tell the truth?" ”
At this time, Wang Ying was tied to a wooden pillar in the tent, with traces of torture all over his body, his image was embarrassed, his body was weak, and his tone gradually became weak, but he had quietly grasped the initiative of this conversation.
On the other side, after hearing Wang Ying's words, the horsewhip that Qi Gemu was about to swing in his hand suddenly struck.
Then, Siegmu asked in a cold voice, "What do you mean by these words?" ”
Wang Ying said with a smile: "Actually, the reason why I chose this time to tell you the truth is to show sincerity and lay the foundation for future cooperation between you and me!" ”
Siegmu slowly put down the whip in his hand, his expression gradually became much calmer, and he asked again, "Cooperation?" What cooperation? Who do you represent to work with me? ”
Wang Ying smiled in a natural tone: "I am naturally Lord Zhao Junchen, who represents the Han court!" As for the content of cooperation, of course, it is to deal with the Dzungar Khanate together! ”
"Bold! The Dzungar Khanate and my Mongolian right-wing tribe are all brothers of the same race, and you dare to separate us! ”
Siegmu immediately refuted Wang Ying's statement.
However, when he expressed his refutation, Siegmu's expression did not have much anger, but his eyes kept flashing.
Wang Ying naturally noticed Qi Gemu's attitude and said with a smile: "Brother of the same clan? I'm afraid not, right? It's better to say that it is more suitable to be a master and servant! As far as I know, because of the forced persecution of the Dzungar Khanate, the major tribes of the Mongolian right-wing have already bowed to the Dzungar Khanate, although the Dzungar Khanate is not yet able to fully control the Mongolian right-wing tribes, and the two sides are still only nominally subordinate, but according to the current momentum, it is only a matter of time before the Dzungar Khanate unifies the Mongolian tribes...... You should know all these things, right? ”
Siegmu snorted coldly, but this time he didn't refute at all, just his eyes flickered more and more.
After Wang Ying coughed lightly, he continued: "Lord Sigmu, with your wise vision, you naturally know in your heart that the Dzungar Khanate is our common enemy, and compared to the threat of the Dzungar Khanate, the contradictions and conflicts between you and me are just trivial matters!"
Over the years, the Mongolian right-wing tribes are of course going south every year to invade the territory of the Ming Dynasty to plunder, but after all, they have only robbed some money and food population, and have never had the ambition to destroy the Han court, for the Ming Dynasty, the Mongolian right-wing tribes are not the real enemy, but the Dzungar Khanate is the big trouble, their leader Geldan is full of ambition and aggressiveness, and has gradually conquered the southern Xinjiang and Qinghai over the years, which can be described as a great war achievement, countless annihilations, and his next goal is obviously the Mongolian steppe, if he conquers the Mongolian right-wing tribes on the steppe, he will inevitably further invade the territory of the Han people, and maybe he will have to repeat the disaster of the Tumubao of the year! Therefore, in order to prevent trouble, the cooperation between the Ming Dynasty and the Mongolian right-wing tribes was absolutely out of sincerity!
For the major tribes of the Mongolian right-wing, cooperating with the Ming Dynasty is also your best choice at present! Geldan will never be satisfied with the fact that the major tribes of the Mongolian right wing are only verbally subservient to him, his army has entered the depths of the steppe, and there is no further action because of natural disasters and instability in the rear for many years, but after Geldan stabilizes the internal situation, he will definitely forcibly conquer the major tribes of the Mongolian right wing, and at that time, there will be a battle between the Dzungar Khanate and the Mongolian right-wing tribes...... But can you, the tribes of the Mongolian right, have the confidence to resist the army of the Dzungar Khanate? I'm afraid it's not very sure, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be a subject to Gerdan this year! But if you cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, you will receive a steady stream of support from the Ming Dynasty, and at that time, the situation will naturally be completely different! ”
After speaking, Wang Ying coughed again.
Seeing that Qi Gemu was silent, but his face was uncertain, Wang Ying felt a little helpless, and after a little relief, he said again: "And now, it is a great opportunity for the two sides to cooperate for the first time!" The Dzungar forces in the Mongol coalition army have been lost by most of them at present, as long as Lord Sigmu chooses to strike a counterattack at a critical time, coupled with the heavy encirclement arranged by my Lord Qincha Zhao, it is very easy to wipe out the army of the Dzungar Khanate, and at that time, the Dzungar Khanate has lost more than 40,000 troops in one go, which must be a great loss of vitality, and I am afraid that it will not be able to pose a threat to both you and me for a long time!
Of course, after the two sides cooperated to eliminate the Dzungar army, the armies of the major tribes of the Mongolian right wing could leave the territory of the Han people safely and without any difficulties! Therefore, for the Mongolian right-wing tribes, this cooperation is absolutely beneficial and harmless! If you are not willing to cooperate, I am afraid that you will be destroyed with the army of the Dzungar Khanate! ”
With Wang Ying's continuous agitation, Qi Gemu's expression obviously flashed with hesitation and struggle, but he still couldn't make up his mind.
So, Wang Ying decided to throw out another bargaining chip, and said: "In addition, in order to show the sincerity of cooperation, Lord Qincha Zhao will provide 100,000 stone grain and grass to the major Mongolian right-wing tribes free of charge after the end of this war to help the Mongolian right-wing tribes survive this year's cold winter!" ”
Because of the torture for two consecutive days, Wang Ying's body has been on the verge of the limit, and now his conversation with Sigmu is only forcibly supported, after this tirade, his voice has gradually become extremely weak, if Sigmu still does not say anything, Wang Ying may not be able to hold on.
Thankfully, Siegmu was able to speak.
I saw Qi Gemu staring at Wang Ying tightly, and asked in a cold voice: "I didn't expect that you would have such eloquence!" But you are just a spy sent by the Han people, and you are also qualified to put forward conditions to me? Will your Chincha Lord admit these conditions afterwards? How do I know if he will regret it afterwards? What's more, even if your Lord Chincha agrees to these conditions, what if your court doesn't recognize it afterwards? ”
Wang Ying was overjoyed, and her spirit was lifted again, and she said, "It seems that I need to reintroduce myself!" Originally, my true identity was known only to Lord Chincha, but now, in order to express my sincerity, I no longer dare to hide it from Lord Sigmu! ”
After a pause, Wang Ying's expression became more solemn, and he said again: "Wang Ying's identity is just my disguise in Shaanxi and Gansu, my real name is Wei Song, I used to be a thousand households of Jinyiwei, a few years ago I came to Shaanxi and Gansu for some reasons, and with the help of friends in the border army, I was incognito, and my brother Wei Huai is currently working in the West Factory, and he is the most trusted confidant of Lord Qincha Zhao...... After Lord Qincha arrived on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu, he first got in touch with me, and it can be said that Lord Qincha's most trusted person in Shaanxi and Gansu is me, and the most critical part of Lord Chincha's plan against the Mongol coalition army is also my action! In this cooperation, Lord Chincha also gave me the greatest permission! Therefore, all my statements today can represent the attitude of Lord Chincha! As for whether Lord Qincha and the imperial court will regret it afterwards, Lord Sigmu, you don't have to worry at all, you should understand the meaning of the identity of the Qincha, the place where the Qincha goes is like the emperor's personal presence, representing the emperor's credibility, and he will never promise easily, once he promises, it is a golden mouth, and there is no reason to regret it! ”
Hearing Wang Ying's words, Sigmu fell silent again.
Then, Wang Quan on the side finally reacted at this time, his expression was full of horror and incredulity, his eyes were wide and he stared at Wang Ying and scolded loudly: "Okay, Wang Ying, you hide so misery from me!" It turns out that you have always been a spy sent by Zhao Junchen! It's because of you that I ended up like this! I must tell Lord Bargan the truth, and let him cut you with a thousand knives! ”
Seeing Wang Quan's sudden voice, Wang Ying sneered and said: "Actually, I am not the only one who infiltrated the Mongolian coalition army!" Isn't it strange that you've been in charge of gathering intelligence on the border armies of the Mongol coalition for all this time, but all the information has been missing and inaccurate all this time? In fact, those Wang family members who are doing things for you are all internal agents sent by Lord Qincha, and the information they pass on to you is all fake! It's a pity that you've been kept in the dark, toyed with by Lord Chincha and clapped without knowing it! Ha, you still want to use the Mongol coalition to take revenge on Lord Chincha, don't you know that you yourself have always been a pawn of Lord Chincha? ”
"What do you say? Uncle Zhong, they are also Zhao Junchen's spies? Impossible, impossible! They have come all the way to the Mongolian steppe to take refuge in me, taking risks to find out the news for me, and they are loyal to my Wang family, and they will never betray ......" Wang Quan suddenly began to struggle and shouted loudly.
Wang Ying's sarcastic expression became more and more obvious, and said: "The Wang family does have a few loyal servants, but they are only loyal to the descendants of the Wang family, how can they be loyal to you?" Lord Qincha holds the life of the Wang family's bloodline in his hands, so they naturally will abandon you without hesitation! It's a pity that you have worked hard to avenge the Wang family during this time, but you don't know that you have been abandoned by the Wang family! ”
"Impossible! No way! I want to see Lord Bargan! I'm going to tell Lord Bargan the truth! I'm going to ......"
Wang Quan's expression became more and more crazy, and his body tied to the pillar continued to struggle, and it was completely gone.
However, just as Wang Quan kept shouting, Siegmu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly pulled out the saber on his waist and stabbed Wang Quan in the chest.
Wang Quan looked at Sigmu in disbelief, and after struggling a few times again, he quickly died, and his eyes were still full of unwilling look after death.
Then, Sigmu didn't look at Wang Quan again, but just turned his head and ordered: "Come on, loosen the ties and heal this Mr. Wei!" ”
In this way, Wang Quan, who sincerely took refuge in Mongolia, was killed, and the real Han Neiying Wei Song became a guest of Sigmu!
