Seeing that Zhuo Erbi didn't answer him for a long time, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "What, don't you want to go back to your own people?" ”

Zhuo Erbi hurriedly said: "Don't dare, if the emperor can forgive the mistake of closing the 36th department this time, then the little one hopes to stay by His Majesty's side and continue to serve His Majesty." ”

Zhu Youzhen stared at him for a while before continuing: "You have been diligent in doing things by my side these days, and it is okay for me to forgive you for following Houjin for violating my Daming." But those people of yours are still helping to abuse and working for Houjin. Tell me, what reason do I have to forgive them? ”

Zhuo Erbi's knees weakened, and he knelt down to Chongzhen again, and then pleaded again with his hands on the ground facing Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the villain's clan is just dizzy for a while, and Houjin threatens with force, so they have to submit to Houjin's orders."

If His Majesty is willing to forgive the villain's clansmen, the villain is willing to persuade them to withdraw from the pass immediately, and not continue to interfere in the war between the Ming Kingdom and the Houjin. ”

Chongzhen hesitated for a moment before he said to Zhuo Erbi in a calm tone: "Are you sure they will listen to your advice?" Just obediently followed you back to the grassland? ”

Zhuo Erbi bit his lip before he spoke: "In the battle of Luanhe before, didn't the emperor capture a lot of Mongol prisoners? Among them, there are many villains.

The villain learned from these clansmen that the minister's uncle was still in the west at the moment, and was fighting with the pseudo-Khan Huang Taiji. Now among the enemies on the opposite side, there are more than a thousand ministers' clansmen and subordinates. Now that Chen's uncle is not here, they can only obey the minister's orders. As long as the ministers can go back, they will definitely be able to get them out of the pass. ”

After Zhu Youzhen was silent for a while, he finally said with a smile: "Since you have this thought, I will give you a chance."

However, I heard that the main general of the Houjin army on the opposite side, Wu Nag, ruled the army quite strictly. Now he has just suffered a defeat, which is the result of Oba and the Korqin tribe withdrawing first. I'm afraid that in the Houjin army on the opposite side now, this Wu Nag will be on guard against unreliable troops.

There is only a Great Wall between the 36th Department of Guanmen and my Ming Dynasty, as long as you get out of the customs, you will be considered home. But even if Houjin succeeds in getting out of the customs, he still needs to travel thousands of miles to return to Shenyang.

In such a situation, I am afraid that Wu Nag is suspicious of the intention of closing the 36th department, and it is far more than the Korqin department. When you go back, it will not be easy to contact your people to evacuate this place. ”

Zhuo Erbi replied without hesitation: "As long as Your Majesty is willing to forgive me 36 parts, even if I am broken, I will never regret it." ”

Hearing such an answer, Zhu Youzhen finally said with satisfaction: "You have such an attitude, I am still willing to believe you."

But what your people think, I think it depends on what they do next.

Today, after daylight, the Jin army has just withdrawn from here, and it is relatively chaotic in their army now, so you shouldn't be subject to much interrogation if you take people back tonight.

If someone asks, you say that you took advantage of the night to steal the horse and escape, and someone will tell you the specific process later, so you can write it down.

When you go back this time, the first task is to find an opportunity to meet Tushetu Khan Oba, and introduce Shalabo to him, who is going back with you, as long as Sharabo meets Oba, the rest of the matter will not be related to you.

As for persuading your people to return to Guanwai, I don't think you need to rush it. After you go back, you can listen to the thoughts of those clansmen, and for those clansmen who still want to continue to fight with Houjin, you don't have to waste saliva to persuade them.

As for those who want to return to the grasslands, you can gather around you. Next, when the Houjin army fights against our army, you can evacuate the battlefield with these clansmen and return to Guanwai. ”

Zhuo Erbi's heart suddenly contracted nervously, persuading his people to flee, and when the Later Jin army fought against the Ming army, they were completely two concepts.

The former is just not optimistic about the future of the Houjin army in this war, so the 36th Department of Guanmen is unwilling to continue to participate in this war and withdraws its troops first.

Although this will cause the dissatisfaction of the Houjin Kingdom, it is a matter of course for the tribes on the grassland. Even if the Houjin State had to settle accounts with the 36th Ministry of Guanmen afterwards, it would only be to lose some horses and sign a more stringent covenant.

However, when the Houjin army fought against the Ming army, the collective evacuation of the 36 troops of the closed gate was tantamount to shaking the military spirit of the Houjin army. The consequences of this are only slightly more mitigated than when they change their flags on the spot to attack the Jin army.

In essence, this is already proof that the 36th Department of the Closed Gate betrayed the Jin State and switched to the Ming State again. The Houjin State, which was betrayed, would inevitably seek revenge from the 36th Department of Guanmen afterwards.

At that time, they could only hope to be protected by the Ming Kingdom, otherwise the 36 departments of the closed gate would inevitably be destroyed by the Houjin army.

In this kind of major matter related to the survival of the tribe, Zhuo Erbi, who was already a little weak, was even more unable to make a decision.

Seeing Zhuo Erbi, who was kneeling in front of him, was sweating profusely, but he refused to agree, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help coughing lightly.

Lian Shanxiang, who was originally guarding Chongzhen's side, suddenly stepped forward, pointed at Zhuo Erbi and scolded: "Your Majesty is benevolent, I just agreed to your request and decided to give the 36th Department of Guanmen a chance to change his mind."

You're hesitating now, do you really think that with this little bit of people in your 36th Division, you can decide the outcome of this war? It's ridiculous. ”

After Lian Shanxiang finished scolding Zhuo Erbi, he turned to Chongzhen and hugged his fists and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister feels that there is really nothing to say about such a stupid person.

Please take this person down and take care of it, as for the 36 closed doors, these people at both ends of the first rat stay outside the closed door, which is really not good for my Daming. ”

In Lian Shanxiang's scolding, Zhuo Erbi's confused mind finally cleared up a little, and after listening to Lian Shanxiang's words to the emperor, he suddenly knelt forward a few steps, and then said to Chongzhen in fear: "Your Majesty, the villain does not mean to hesitate between the Houjin and the Ming Kingdom, and I have no intention of closing the 36th department between the two countries.

The villain just thought that Wu Nag had a strict military law, and there were people who supervised the army on top of the battle array, so I was afraid that it would be difficult to get out at that time, and he was worried about ruining His Majesty's affairs. ”

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand to let Lian Shanxiang retreat, and then said to Zhuo Erbi with a smile: "When you want, I will naturally create it for you."

If you put 10,000 hearts, I won't let you do something impossible. Besides, when you go back to Houjin, can I still control what you do and what you don't do?

If the Houjin army had the upper hand in the battle with our army, you could also assume that there was no such thing. I'm just looking for a back road for you now, and as for whether you are willing to go, it all depends on whether you are optimistic about Houjin or whether I will win.

But for the sake of your deferential attitude towards me these days, I would like to remind you a few words. Think about it, why did Oba retreat before? Why did I ask you to bring someone to Oba? Do you think the next time the two sides fight, will Oba withdraw again? ”

Zhuo Erbi suddenly looked up at Chongzhen in shock, and said subconsciously: "Does the emperor mean that Obabel has formed an alliance with the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said, "I have said enough, and the next thing is up to you and the choice of the 36th department."

Are you willing to prove with your actions that you are willing to break the covenant with Houjin and return to my Ming Dynasty? Whether you want to continue to bet on Houjin depends on your own choice.

The last thing I can tell you is that there is no unearned food in this world. If you don't want to take even the slightest risk, maybe you're taking the biggest risk in the world.

Commander, take him down, he has an hour to think. After an hour, the task is canceled. Tomorrow he will be escorted back to Qian'an, and after the battle, he and the 36 captives will be dealt with. ”

When Lian Shanxiang's hand pressed on his shoulder, Zhuo Erbi suddenly bowed down, his forehead pressed against the woolen blanket spread on the ground and said, "The villain is willing to obey the emperor's orders and complete the tasks assigned by the emperor." ”

Lian Shanxiang, who stretched out his hand to scoop up the air, heard Zhuo Erbi's words, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Chongzhen, waiting for the emperor's next order.

Zhu Youzhen shook his head at him, and Lian Shanxiang suddenly retreated to Chongzhen's side, and then Zhu Youzhen said softly to Zhuo Erbi: "I am very happy that you have such an awareness."

I hope you can remember that what the future holds for Closed 36 depends on your own actions today, not on the likes and dislikes of some.

You go down with Lian Shanxiang, he will explain some things to you, and then let someone escort you away..."

When Zhuo Erbi and the other 3 or 4 people were sent out of the camp for 2 or 3 miles by a team of Ming cavalry, the Ming army officer who led the team pointed to the Luanhe River in the north and said to Zhuo Erbi and the others: "You only need to go west along this river, and you will probably be able to meet Houjin's sentinel before dawn."

As for how to convince those post-golden sentinels that you have escaped, it depends on your own performance. To be on the safe side, we can't hand you torches and weapons, so be careful along the way and don't die before the Houjin Sentinel recognizes you. ”

After the Ming army officer finished speaking, he simply returned the same way with his men and horses. Looking at the light of the fire that kept going away in the darkness, Zhuo Erbi had already reacted, and he was really free now.

At this time, he was beside him, except for the Sharabo, and the others were all cronies who had been captured with him. If he wanted, he could throw this Ming spy named Sha Labo directly into the Luan River.

In this way, he no longer had to do things according to the requirements of the Ming Emperor, but Zhuo Erbi just glanced back at the somewhat whitish Luan River in the distance, and did not even glance at Sha Labo out of the corner of his eye, so he turned his horse's head and said to a few companions beside him: "Let's go, we are going home." ”
