The princes and ministers had already left, and the corridor was empty.
The monk soldier flicked open the felt tent and signaled Yaoying to go in.
When Yaoying entered the hall, a gust of hot air rushed towards her face. A carpet was laid in the tent, and when she stepped on it, it was soft and silent.
Bi Suo was waiting for her under the felt curtain, gearing up with excitement on her face.
Yaoying asked suspiciously, "What happened?"
Bi Suo smiled and said, "Beijing is in chaos!"
Yaoying raised her head in surprise, her fingers trembled, her heart pounding.
Haidu Aling still launched a rebellion
Bi Suo led Yaoying to go inside, and whispered: "I received the news this morning that the North Rong Khan has transferred his account to Luduo."
Yaoying pursed her lips.
Orudo means palace tent in the Turkic language. Previously, the Wakhan Khan once named a Tucheng Oruduo, which was just a place for cattle and horses, far inferior to Yizhou. Where is the khan's tent, where is the North Rong Yating, why did the Wakhan khan suddenly move the tent
Bi Su's eyes lit up and couldn't contain his excitement: "It is said that Haidu Aling returned to Izhou, seriously injured the Wakhan Khan, and replaced the Wakhan Khan as the new Khan, so the Wakhan Khan will escape. Go to Orudo!"
After Haidu Aling returned to Beirong, the Beirong royal family would definitely break out into a turmoil.
However, Beirong was unusually calm during this period of time, and there was not a single word of wind, and the royal court kept sending scouts, but couldn't inquire about anything. Bi Su was impatient, and if it wasn't for Tanmaraga's permission, he would have liked to go to Beirong in person.
Now the news came back that Haidu Aling and the princes were fighting against each other. I don’t know how many people were killed or injured. Wakhan Khan was seriously injured and had fled to Orudo in a hurry. Beirong nobles elected Haidu Aling as the new khan.
Bi Suo gloated: Beirong was in chaos, and the opportunity for the royal court came.
Yaoying rolled her eyes and asked, "Why did the minister of your country quarrel just now?"
If it was so simple, why would those ministers yell and curse
Bi Su's shoulders drooped, a smile condensed at the corners of his mouth, and his brows were lightly wrinkled, and said, "The king does not allow the minister to send troops to attack Beirong."
When the news of the chaos in Beirong came back to the royal court, the minister did not care about Sultangu's "mourning", and took the initiative to ask for battle, but Tanmoraga rejected it. The minister was dissatisfied, he slapped his fists and snatched his sleeves, slapped the long case and drew a saber, and demanded to send troops to attack Beirong immediately, but Tanmaraka resolutely refused. And go.
Yaoying suddenly realized that it was no wonder that she had vaguely heard someone scold Tanmaraga for being timid and cowardly.
Turning the screen, the smoke in front of the smoked stove curled up, and a faint fragrance slowly overflowed.
There was silence in the hall, only the rustling sound of the nib rubbing against the parchment. Tamaroka was writing with his head bowed down at his desk. He was wearing a large red cassock. The light of the sky penetrated into the felt tent. There was a faint halo on the cassock. His body is thin, his eyebrows are deep, and his whole body seems to be shrouded in Buddha light.
The quarrel and roar of the ministers just now seemed to be just Yaoying's illusion.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Tan Mo Luojia kept moving his hands, and when he finished writing a whole sentence of scriptures, he put down his pen and motioned for Yaoying and Bi Su to take their seats.
Yaoying got closer, knelt down in front of the long desk, and handed the Beirong mission's confession.
Tamara took over.
Yao Ying's eyes fell on the string of bodhi beads that he was holding on his wrist. This string of beads looked ordinary, but from a distance, the color was dull, like an old thing, but only when you looked up close you could see every bodhi seed. It is a touch of gray-white, round and cold, like a gathering of moonlight.
After reading the confession, Tamara Ga gave it to Bi Su.
Bi Suo read it in one glance and ten lines, and sneered: "This time the Beirong mission is sneaky, and it really doesn't have a good heart. I will detain the person first and see how Beirong explains it."
Judging from the confession, Princess Yiqing asked Zhu Luyun to persuade Yaoying that it was just a pretense, and the real purpose was to approach the Wangsi from Yaoying, looking for an opportunity to murder Tanmaraga.
Bi Su whispered a few cursing words in the tribal language, put down the confession, and looked up at Tamaroka.
"King, since Beirong is in chaos and wants to send someone to assassinate you, why don't we take the opportunity to attack Beirong?"
Tamara did not answer him, but instead asked: "Has there been any changes in Shacheng?"
Bi Suo shook his head and said, "Beirong hasn't harassed the guards in Shacheng recently. Before, I thought it was due to heavy snow and ice. It was difficult for Beirong to raise food and grass, and the cavalry couldn't go deep into the Gobi. Now it seems that it must be because Beirong is in chaos. , that's why their cavalry is so peaceful!"
Tamara was silent, and his eyes signaled to the guard in the corner to fetch the sand table.
Yaoying got up immediately, and was about to step back, when a glance swept towards her.
Tamara looked at her and shook her head.
Yaoying looked at him, wondering for a while, they were discussing the matter of the royal court's deployment of troops, shouldn't she avoid it
Tamaroka motioned her to look at the sand table on the long case.
Yao Ying had to sit back again, and recognized that the sand table was piled with quicksand and gravel. It was roughly the landscape of Cong Ridge and the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. There was only a flat yellow sand on the north side without any markings, which may represent the royal court and those affiliated to the royal court. The topography in the south is clear and clear. From west to east, there are Shule, Qiuci, Yanqi, Gaochang, and Izhou. Zhu Luyun came from Izhou, and Izhou is where Beirong’s current tooth tent is located.
The sand table did not reveal the information of the royal court.
Yaoying was careful in her heart, but Tamara was careful and would not put her in an embarrassing situation.
Bi Suo, who was beside him, scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, stared at the sand table for a long time, and asked, "What is Wang worried about?"
Tan Moraka calmly took out a few pieces of parchment: "These were intercepted from Beirong scouts."
Bi Su took the parchment and glanced at it, with a happy expression on her face.
Yaoying took the parchment from his hand, and frowned lightly after reading it.
These are letters of distress sent from Beirong. The letters were written by several princes of Beirong. Judging from the title, the letters were sent to the princess of Beirong in Gaochang, Qiuci and other places and the tribal chief of Beimo. The prince asked them to Send troops to rescue Wakhan Khan.
"The news is not false, Haidu Aling is really the opposite!"
Bi Suo was overjoyed, and immediately wondered: Since Luo Jia intercepted these letters for help and confirmed the information of the scouts, why did they not dare to send troops
Yaoying's reaction was completely different from his. She was silent and thoughtful.
Bi Suo gritted his teeth and said, "King, judging from these letters, there is no doubt that Haidu Aling assassinated Wakhan Khan. Beirong will never rush to move the tent for no reason! They must be in chaos, and now they are attacking them. It's a good time! Please allow me to lead my troops into battle!"
Bi Su's face was full of eagerness to try.
Tamaroka's face was calm: "What if these letters are fake?"
Bi Suo was shocked, her mouth opened wide, and her hands were shaking.
Tan Mo Luojia's slender fingers tapped the sand table: "Izhou leads to the grasslands. Wakhan Khan started from the northern desert and fled east. He can gather the defeated soldiers and the grassland tribes and regain the khan position."
"Look at which direction Oruduo is in Izhou, and where is it close."
Bi Suo looked at the sand table carefully and murmured: "Or Luduo is in the northwest, close to the troops stationed in the east of the royal court..."
That's why the ministers were itching and getting too close. As long as they sent troops, they could besiege the embattled Wakhan Khan. Who could resist this temptation
Tamara turned to Yaoying and asked softly, "The princess knows Haidu Aling, and the princess thinks that Wakhan Khan or Haidu Aling will win or lose? Is it Wakhan Khan or Haidu A who is in charge of Beirong at this moment? Mausoleum?"
Yaoying hesitated for a moment.
Tamara said: "Princess, but it's okay, don't worry about it."
His tone was gentle, and his blue eyes looked at her quietly, like a Buddha.
Although there was no expression on her face, it made her feel at ease.
Yaoying looked at him, relaxed slowly, thought about it, and truthfully said what she thought: "In my opinion, if the winner is Haidu Aling, he will attack the Wang Ting immediately. So, now Most of the people in charge of Beirong are still Wakhan Khan."
Beside Bi Suo frowned, calmed down slowly, and asked, "Why is the princess so sure?"
Yao Ying said slowly: "One, Haidu Aling is not from Beirong's blood, if he really becomes a new khan, the most urgent task is to make military exploits and divert conflicts, otherwise he will not be able to convince the public, even if he is not prepared enough, he will We must open up the stance of attacking and harassing the royal court and deter other competitors."
Haidu Aling believed that the best way to establish his prestige was to defeat the old khan's rival, so in the book he personally led the army to attack the royal court after he became the new khan.
"Secondly, Haidu Aling is arrogant and ambitious. Once he succeeds in winning the khan throne, he will definitely announce to the world that he will be aggressive and hunt down the descendants of the old khan, and prepare for the conquest. It is impossible for him to remain silent. "
"These are just my guesses." Yao Ying said, "The strangest thing is that the news of the Prince Regent's death should have reached Beirong. Why did Haidu Aling let go of such a good opportunity?"
Bi Suo was stunned, a look of embarrassment flashed across his face, he knew that Sultan was still "alive", so he almost forgot about it.
Wakhan Khan was a cautious person, and he was even more cautious when he fought with Tamara. The nobles of Beirong were full of complaints, complaining that he was old and useless, and was scared off by Tamara.
If Wakhan Khan really dies, the restless Beirong nobles will definitely attack the royal court.
Now the situation in the holy city is tense, and the garrisoned troops from all over the country are retreating to the holy city. It is a good time to attack. If Haidu Aling was the new khan, he would have led the nobles of Beirong to fight. No battle report was sent back to the Holy City.
Wakhan Khan did not lose ground.
Bi Suo calmed down from the frenzy, thinking of how the ministers were so angry just now, her heart skipped a beat and she broke into cold sweat.
If they really launched troops rashly, how could they be Wakhan Khan's opponents
Bi Suo rubbed her chin with her fingers, looking in disbelief: "Could it be that all this is a trap set by Bei Rong? They deliberately exposed flaws, lured Wang Ting to attack, and then caught the turtle in the urn?"
Yaoying's eyelids jumped, and she whispered, "You must notify the country lord Yuchi as soon as possible. They don't know there is a fraud, and they may send troops."
Yuchi Bodhidharma hated the Wakhan Khan who had once led his troops to humiliate him.
Tanmaraka said indifferently: "The letter has been sent."
The tone is calm and unhurried.
As if everything was what he expected.
Yaoying was stunned for a while, and she and Bi Suo looked at each other, and an electric light flashed in their minds at the same time.
The forbearance and retreat of Tanmaraka these days is not entirely to paralyze the minister, he is also testing Beirong's reaction to speculate whether Beirong is in chaos!
Bi Suo realized it later, and opened his mouth: "Wang, you asked me to send someone to watch Shacheng at all times, just waiting for news from Beirong? You knew from the beginning that Beirong would not be chaotic?"
Tamaroka nodded slightly: "Wakhan Khan should not be underestimated."
Yaoying's heart trembled.
The upper armies are attacked, followed by the Jiaojiao, followed by the army, and the war is not just fighting on the battlefield.
Tamaroka has been dealing with Wakhan Khan since he was thirteen years old. To outsiders, it seems that he and Wakhan Khan have only fought a few big battles before deciding the winner. No one knows every battle. How much effort is required from him behind it.
The confrontation between him and Wakhan Khan was not only a tit-for-tat on the battlefield, but also a psychological game that lasted for more than ten years.
The reason why Wakhan Khan was afraid of Tamaroka was not only because he lost to him who was just starting to spearhead on the battlefield, but also because he had always been firm and calm over the years, resolving the crises outside the battlefield one by one, while the old Khan Lost confidence in defeat and became paranoid.
Not only swords, lights, swords, and shadows on the battlefield, but Tamaroka also has to deal with the difficulties of the nobles, balance the court, and keep the people under control fed and clothed... Every order is a decision he makes after careful consideration, and every small decision may affect the entire battle.
Just like this time, there is another invisible war between Wakhan Khan and him.
One decision of the two is the life and death of thousands of people.
It can be imagined how much pressure Tanmaraga is carrying.
After ten years like this, it is no wonder that he is not in good health.
Yaoying sighed silently.
Bi Suo's heart was beating wildly, and she slowly calmed down.
He was thinking of a quick battle, to solve the silverfish in the court, and to defeat Beirong, who had been coveting the royal court. Luo Jia thought more and more long-term than he thought. In his opinion, the trip to Gaochang was a favor for Princess Wenzhao. For Luo Jia, it is a small part of the whole layout, and Luo Jia has too many things to take into account.
Bi Su let out a long breath, thought for a moment, and said, "But this is not like the style of Wakhan Khan."
Tamara said, "It doesn't matter whose style you have."
The important thing is that the royal court cannot be fooled.
Bi Suo's heart lit up instantly and nodded.
The two rulers and ministers reached a tacit agreement.
Bi Suo glanced at Yaoying and hesitated.
Yaoying smiled, got up and quit.
Bi Su watched her back disappear behind the felt curtain, and asked, "Wang, why didn't you tell the truth to the minister?"
Tamara looked at the scripture he had just written, "It's not time yet."
The complaints of the ministers just now were still in my ears, and Bi Suo's face was solemn. It seemed that Luo Jia planned to solve the internal worries this time, and then deal with the external troubles.
This is not the same as before.
"Wang really made up his mind?"
Bi Su asked softly.
The monks and soldiers withdrew from the sand table, and Tamara continued to write the scriptures silently, with graceful strokes and beautiful handwriting.
"Someone has to solve these problems."
Bi Su was speechless for a while.
Luo Jia knew what the result would be, but still chose to be the wicked person who was destined to be hated, just so that the royal court could be peaceful for a long time.
Bi Su closed her eyes.
"The eagle was given to Princess Wenzhao by the king. Why does the king want Yuanjue to say that it was given by me?"
This sentence was asked, and the hall was quiet for a moment.
Tan Mo Luojia's writing movements were still smooth, his eyes drooping slightly, and he said, "Because there is no difference, the eagle was given to the princess by the royal court."
Bi Suo looked at his face carefully and was silent.
At this moment, there was an exclamation from outside the hall.
The guard shouted anxiously: "Princess Wen Zhao! Hurry up and escape!"
There was a woman's cry of pain.
Bi Su was startled, stood up abruptly, hurriedly bowed to Tamara Ka, and rushed out of the hall.
Figures swayed under the corridor, and the guards and monk soldiers huddled together with long guns and rushed towards the scaffolding in the corner. A vigorous goshawk spread its wings and swooped down, its sharp beak fiercely pecked towards Another black eagle.
The black eagle is not half the size of the goshawk, and did not make any moves to attack. Yaoying stood in the middle of the two eagles and was in a hurry. Goshawk, dodge carefully.
The surrounding personal soldiers did not dare to hurt the goshawk, and shouted loudly to attract its attention.
The goshawk's eyes were sharp, staring directly at the black eagle in Yaoying's arms, its wings spread out, like a black cloud full of thunder and lightning, and pounced again, its sharp claws like hooks.
Yaoying hugged Black Eagle tightly.
Bi Su's brows were furrowed, and she rushed forward, and in a blink of an eye, she was already in front of Yaoying.
"Garuru!"
At the door of the hall, a cold scolding sounded.
Tamara stood under the felt curtain, the cassock was blown up by the wind, and the robe was hunting.
The goshawk froze.
The guard immediately stepped forward, threw his hands forward, grabbed the goshawk that suddenly went mad, and hugged him away.
Bi Suo turned around, took Yaoying's hand, and rolled up her sleeves, "Aren't you scratched?"
The goshawk's claws can pierce the chest of the prey with one claws. She was caught several times by the goshawk just now, and she must have been injured.
Yaoying quickly retracted her hand and smiled, "It's okay, I'm wearing thick clothes, so I didn't hold it."
Bi Su moved for a while.
Yaoying lowered her head to appease the black eagle. The black eagle was pecked several times by the goshawk and was quite frightened.
She checked it carefully and found that there was no wound on the black eagle, only some feathers were lost, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It turns out that the eagle of the Buddha is really called Garuda."
Bi Suo was dumbfounded, thinking that she would scold the goshawk when she opened her mouth, but she didn't expect that she would actually say these words, and then her heart moved, she raised her head, and looked towards the door.
The felt curtain was lowered, and Tamara had already turned around and entered.
The author has something to say: The previous chapter has been revised, and there are new contents. You'd better read the previous chapter again.
