Chapter 1293 Father Dies, Mother Remarries, Each Looking After Their Own People

One day later, news of the fall of Fuheishan reached the old camp of the Yuan Army deep in Qingyun Mountain.

After hearing the bad news, Naha was so shocked that she could not speak for a long time.

His sons were also in disbelief, and kept mumbling: "How is this possible? Fuhei Mountain is a barrier that only one man can control, and no one can open it. How could it be captured overnight?"

"It was the Ming army who took a small path around to the northern foot of Fuhei Mountain and caught them off guard." Guantong said solemnly.

"How did the Ming army know that there was a trail?" Nahachu suddenly raised his head and asked quietly: "I only know that there is a hidden trail to get out of the mountain, but I don't know how to get there."

"I don't know either!"

"I don't know either!" All the Taijis also shook their heads, and Dadaiji Chahan said loudly: "Then it is even more impossible for outsiders to know!"

"So there must be a mole!" The brothers said with deep conviction, "Whoever knows this trail is the most suspicious."

After saying that, they all looked at Guantong. It is already a well-known secret that he bypassed Mount Fuhei and took a trail to Gyeongju.

"My lord, have you sold us?!" Chahan glared at Guantong and said, "When I was in Qingzhou, I felt strange why the people of the Ming Dynasty were so respectful to you. It turns out that you have been secretly doing this for a long time. Hooked up!"

"Dataiji, don't slander good people!" Guantong shook his head and said, "I have never done anything to disgrace the Taiwei."

"Who are you?! You're the only one who knows how to walk the path, and you've stayed in Qingzhou for so long!" But the heroes didn't believe him and asked one after another:

"Tell me, what benefits did the people of the Ming Dynasty give you?!"

"Lieutenant, you don't think so too, do you?" Guantong ignored them and turned to look at Naha Chu.

Naha was silent for a long time, and then asked slowly: "Guantong, were you unhappy when I asked you to take the blame?"

"..." Guantong felt as if he was struck by lightning, his eyes widened and he said: "Okay, I will give you my heart and soul, and work hard for you, but the result is unreasonable suspicion from your father and son. Since you don't believe what I said, then I might as well surrender!"

After saying that, he turned around and strode out of the king's tent.

"Here comes someone, catch him quickly, don't let him escape!" Chahan said loudly.

The soldiers outside stopped Guantong and refused to let him leave.

At this time, the Mongolian princes also came after hearing the news, eager to enter the king's tent to see Naha come out.

Chahan could only have Guantong locked up first, and then wait until the princes were sent away.

~~

"Captain!" As soon as Zong Wang Xiantong and others entered the king's tent, they shouted loudly: "Fuhei Mountain is lost, and King Shen's entire army is destroyed!"

"Don't be so loud, I already know." Naha Chu could only cheer up and deal with these princes first: "Why are you panic? We still have Pingding Mountain, Badai Mountain, Wulan Mountain... The Ming army was lucky enough to steal one Fuhei Mountain, the sky cannot fall."

"You can't say that!" Xiantong shook his head and said, "Fuhei Mountain is the gateway! If the gateway is lost, our tribe will be attacked by the Ming army!"

"Then just be on defense..." Naha said in a rough voice: "The soldiers will block it, and the water and soil will cover it."

"Okay, then Lieutenant, just wait for us to be defeated one by one." Xantong and others said angrily: "Now the fate of Huletu is almost certain to be in danger. I wonder who will be the next unlucky one?"

The air in the king's tent was almost stagnant, and the morale of the Mongolian princes was extremely low. Another sudden defeat had already made them deeply question Nahachu's leadership ability.

"I've already told you that if you insist on holding on, there will be a way." Naha said expressionlessly: "As soon as the imperial reinforcements arrive, everything will be fine."

"When will the imperial reinforcements arrive?" the princes asked.

"I said, within a month." Naha replied in a muffled voice.

"You said it was within a month last month, and it's already been a month. Why haven't you seen anyone in the north?!" The princes had lost their patience.

"The journey from Mobei to here is several thousand miles, who can say for sure?" Naha said expressionlessly: "I can only tell you that it's almost there, but I don't know exactly when it will arrive..."

"I will send someone to urge you again. Once I have accurate information, I will notify you as soon as possible." Feeling that his attitude was too negative, he slowed down and said: "Besides, as long as King Feng and King Ding can defeat the Ming army, They won't be able to hold on for long. As I said, you have been holding on for so long, so just hold on."

"Alas..." No matter how loud the princes are, they can only vent their emotions and cannot shout out a charter. So I vented enough and left.

~~

With this interruption from them, Naha forgot about Guan Tong once his father and son were born. In fact, it is not wrong to say that he has forgotten, but he does not know how to deal with him. Although Guantong is only a prince, he has always been responsible for Naha's mission, and he is very popular among the princes. Moreover, he was very capable and could not do without him for many things, so Naha was not willing to kill him for unfounded charges.

As a result, the soldiers came to report the next day, saying that Guantong had run away...

"What?! How did you run away?" Chahan was furious.

"He was let go by the people who were guarding him," the soldier replied.

"Catch the guards and I will skin them!" Chahan was furious.

"They also ran away with him..." the soldier whispered.

"My day..." Chahan jumped to his feet and said, "Quickly, chase them back!"

"Stop arguing." Nahachu said weakly, "Father died and mother remarried, everyone takes care of themselves. We are now like a clay Buddha crossing the river, unable to save ourselves. Why should we drag him to be buried with us?"

"Father, didn't you say that everything will be fine once the imperial army arrives?" Chahan didn't understand why his father became so pessimistic.

Nahachu said half dead, "This morning, the Ming army sent someone to issue an ultimatum, and gave me a deadline of unconditional surrender before the end of the month..."

"What a bullshit ultimatum, why bother with it? We are not raised to be scared." Chahan encouraged his old father.

"Let's not talk about the content of the ultimatum, just talk about the person who sent the ultimatum. Do you know who it is?" Nahachu looked at him and said, "It's Daiqin."

"Daiqin? Isn't he the Qiexue commander of Prince Ding?" Chahan's pupils shrank suddenly: "Could it be that Gaobasi Timur also surrendered to the Ming Dynasty?"

"And Hong Boyan Timur, they have all surrendered to the Ming Dynasty." Nahachu closed his eyes in pain, and his steel-like beard was not stiff.

"Daiqin said that they were defeated by a Ming army general named Ping'an in Daqing Mountain and had no choice but to surrender."

"He's talking nonsense. They must have wanted to surrender a long time ago! Otherwise, they have 20,000 cavalrymen. If they can't win, can't they just run away?" Chahan didn't believe it.

"Why do you care what they think? Huletu fled to the south, and most of them surrendered. The surrender of the three of them will completely disperse the people's hearts. What else is there to do?" Nahachu sighed painfully and said, "Forget it, let him go."
