Li Dong glanced at Qi He and could not help but raise his eyebrows. In fact, Li Dong always felt that there was something wrong with Qi He. Not to mention that he had been acting strangely along the way, just looking at him now, he could tell that there was something wrong with him!
Could it be that he was so scared because he had never seen a battle before?
But wasn't this too much?
It was not that Li Dong had never seen a civil official or fought a war with one, but Qi He's performance was too poor. What was he afraid of?
Could it be that the officials from the capital were all idiots?
Although Li Dong could not help but curse in his heart, he could not show it. Qi He was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites!
"Assistant Minister Qi, what's your opinion?" Li Dong could only ask patiently.
"We're not leaving!"
Qi He said directly, "Let's set up camp here and let that Mo Rigen go find Sanniangzi. We'll announce the imperial edict here."
Qi He understood that going to Guihua City or Bansheng City was not a good thing for him.
If he fell into the hands of Hwang Tae-gil, it was very likely that he would fall out with the Daming because he could not get the Daming's support.
At that time, it would be reasonable for him to be killed as a sacrifice, but he did not want to die!
If he went to Bansheng City and Hwang Tae-gil and Sanniangzi fell out, what should he do?
Wouldn't he be in a battlefield? It was too dangerous.
Qi He felt that it was best to announce the imperial edict here. After announcing the imperial edict, he would leave.
If you want to fight, go back and fight. I won't accompany you. Retreat was the way to go!
If they went to Bansheng City or Guihua City, it would not be easy to leave again.
Li Dong did not know that Qi He had so many twists and turns, but he knew that Qi He was an imperial envoy. Besides, his idea seemed to be good. At least they did not need to fight here!
Although he was not afraid, he could not just start fighting for no reason!
Moreover, the other side had the advantage in numbers. If they really fought, they would most likely be at a disadvantage. Not fighting was the best choice.
Pulling on the reins of his horse, Li Dong scratched his head and said to Mo Rigen, "Mo Rigen, our Assistant Minister Qi said that since both sides want to respectfully listen to the imperial edict, then we should announce it here. Send someone to invite Sanniangzi to come over."
Mo Rigen was stunned. Announcing the imperial edict here?
He didn't understand what Li Dong meant.
Mo Rigen glanced at Li Dong, then turned his head to look at Qi He. He smiled and said, "Then we shall follow the arrangements of the imperial envoy!"
Then, Mo Rigen shouted to the other side, "Envoy Daming said that since both sides want to hear the decree, we can read it here."
"I'll send someone to invite Sanniangzi!" Mo Rigen said to a person beside him, "Hurry up and invite Sanniangzi!"
In the opposing team, Hwang Tae-gil hesitated after hearing Mo Rigen's words.
He glanced at his son, Tulik, and said, "Tulik, it's not bad if it's like this."
Looking at his father, Tulik didn't know what to say.
"Father, we can't wait. We should take advantage of this opportunity to rush forward and kill Envoy Daming."
Tulik said in an instigating manner, "Although we don't know what Envoy Daming's imperial edict says, I'm afraid it's not good for you!
"I might as well take this opportunity to kill the emissary of the Great Ming Dynasty."
"At that time, Envoy Daming will definitely become enemies with Wala, and Sanniangzi won't be able to escape even if she wants to."
Glancing at Tulik, Hwang Tae-gil said impatiently, "What if she leads her people to surrender to Envoy Daming?
At that time, she will lead the Ming Army to attack us. What should we do then?
Can we defeat them? "
Tulik looked at Hwang Tae-gil and said dumbfoundedly, "How, how could she surrender to Envoy Daming?"
Looking at his son, Hwang Tae-gil didn't say anything. His son was good at everything, but he was still impetuous. Hwang Tae-gil couldn't do anything about it.
Currently, he still needed Envoy Daming's support to suppress Sanniangzi. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want to fall out with Envoy Daming!
If he really wanted to fall out with Envoy Daming, he would have to wait until he had enough power.
"Mo Rigen, then let's wait for Sanniangzi to come!" Hwang Tae-gil shouted loudly and didn't say anything else.
Time passed by. It wasn't until noon that Sanniangzi arrived with her cavalry. Judging from the number, there were about 5,000 people.
With the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, Sanniangzi also arrived at the front of the formation.
When Mo Rigen saw Sanniangzi coming, he hurriedly rode his horse to greet her. Seeing Sanniangzi, Mo Rigen said with some shame, "Sister, I screwed up."
Sanniangzi was a 33-year-old woman wearing a Mongolian robe. She held a horsewhip in her hand. Looking at her brother, Sanniangzi waved the horsewhip in her hand and said, "Take me to see Envoy Daming."
This was the first time that Qi He met Sanniangzi. In the past, he had heard many things about Sanniangzi.
Especially before he went out this time, Qi He asked many people. Among them, the things about Sanniangzi and Minister of War Wu Dui were mentioned many times.
At that time, Qi He was very disdainful. How could a Wala female lead be so attractive?
But today, when he saw Sanniangzi, Qi He was a little stunned. There was actually such a beautiful woman on the grassland?
Sanniangzi's skin was very white, and her figure was also well-proportioned. Sitting on the back of a horse, she looked very beautiful no matter how one looked at her.
She wore a red Mongolian robe, which made her look quite romantic. Every frown and smile of hers was full of charm.
Was this Sanniangzi?
She was really beautiful!
On the opposite side, when Hwang Tae-gil saw that Sanniangzi had come, he also brought his people over.
Although it was just a moment ago, Hwang Tae-gil also knew that he couldn't start a fight with Sanniangzi. Otherwise, Daming would only benefit from it.
Now, he was waiting for Daming to confer the title of Sungai Of Gojoseon on him and marry Sanniangzi.
Lalik followed behind his father. He felt that his father's thoughts were too optimistic.
He hadn't received any good news in the capital. At this time, he actually didn't know what was written in Daming's imperial edict.
If it was to confer the title of Great Khan on his father, there was no need to hide it.
In the morning, the Ming Army had already set up tents. People from all three sides gathered in Daming's tent.
Qi He didn't hesitate. He directly took out the emperor's imperial edict and began to read it.
The content of the imperial edict wasn't complicated. At the beginning, he mourned for An Dahan. Of course, he was just being polite. Many people in Daming hoped that the old man would die!
After the politeness, it was time to get to the main topic. When it was read to this point, Qi He felt very nervous.
"Confer the title of the son of An Dahan, Bu Ta, as the new Sungai Of Gojoseon."
Before Qi He could continue reading, Hwang Tae-gil suddenly raised his head and looked at Qi He. He said loudly, "Confer the title of the son of An Dahan, Bu Ta, as the Sungai Of Gojoseon?"
"Bu Ta is a child. How can he be the Sungai Of Gojoseon?
Are you Daming blind? "
Qi He was shocked. He knew that the imperial edict couldn't be read anymore. He directly passed the imperial edict to Sanniangzi and said, "Sanniangzi, receive the edict!"
Although Sanniangzi was a little surprised, she still couldn't believe it. Although she had heard about it from her brother, she still couldn't believe it.
However, when Qi He handed over the imperial edict, Sanniangzi took it directly.
Hwang Tae-gil looked at this scene with a gloomy face. He turned around and left without saying a word.
"General Li, the imperial edict has been passed. Let's go back!"
When Qi He saw this scene, he turned around and said to Li Dong. He didn't want to stay in this place any longer.
Judging from the atmosphere just now, this was not a good place at all. Who knew when Hwang Tae-gil and Sanniangzi would start fighting.
Li Dong looked at Qi He and frowned. Why did the imperial court send this idiot here?
"Emissary, let's go back to Guancheng first!"
Sanniangzi looked at Qi He and said with a smile, "The enthronement ceremony of the new Sungai Of Gojoseon still needs an emissary to preside over."
At this time, Sanniangzi wouldn't let the Daming's emissary run away. For Sanniangzi, it didn't matter whether this was a conspiracy or something else. What was important was to let her son become the Sungai Of Gojoseon as soon as possible.
As long as her son became the Sungai Of Gojoseon and the Khan, she wouldn't have to marry Hwang Tae-gil.
Qi He immediately revealed a bitter expression. What if he couldn't leave even if he wanted to?
Li Dong looked at Qi He and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, let's go to Guancheng with Sanniangzi!"
Different from Qi He, the imperial envoy, Li Dong had a mission this time.
If he went back just like that, he wouldn't be able to complete his mission.
Li Dong didn't care about Qi He. On the grassland, could Qi He run away by himself?
"Alright, let's set off now. We'll reach Guancheng at night," Sanniangzi said with a smile.
In fact, after Hwang Tae-gil left, Sanniangzi didn't dare to stay here any longer. He was worried that Hwang Tae-gil would attack Guancheng after he returned.
If Guancheng was lost, he wouldn't be able to deal with Hwang Tae-gil with the five thousand people around him.
Jing City, Forbidden City, Wenhua Hall.
Zhu Yijun flipped through the memorials in his hands. Seeing Zhang Jing walk in with Qi Jiguang, he smiled and put down the memorials. He quietly watched Qi Jiguang salute him, then waved his hand and said, "Get up!"
"You've been in the Jing Barracks for some time. How are you doing?" Zhu Yijun asked with a smile.
"Thanks to Your Majesty's good fortune, I've eaten well and slept well in the Jing Barracks!" Qi Jiguang quickly bowed and said.
Zhu Yijun nodded. Although he didn't know whether Qi Jiguang was telling the truth or not, Zhu Yijun took it as the truth. "Spring is coming soon. I'm going to organize a field training."
"The so-called field training is when the general leads the troops under his command to leave the encampment and carry out a long-distance march. This is to enforce the discipline of the Ming Army and train by walking."
After hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Qi Jiguang suddenly had an idea. He then asked, "May I know the destination of this field training, Your Majesty?"
