"A person from the snowfield?" The man that Yu Jiao treated had a high nose and broad eyes. He indeed did not look much like a Taiyan person. Moreover, his body was covered with tattoos, making him look like a foreigner.
Gu Yun explained to Yu Jiao the difference between the snow people of the Ashina clan and the Altai wolf people.
Yu Jiao asked in confusion, "How did General Xiao know the leader of the Snow Plains people?"
"It's a long story. I was also entrusted by the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery." Xiao Ning took a sip of tea and told how after he returned to Datong, Ji Wudao strictly guarded Xuanfu in an attempt to find his whereabouts so as to take over the Datong military town. However, all the soldiers and horses in Shanxi were led by Xiao Ning himself. He wanted to hide, so it was naturally easy for him. Ji Wudao could not find him at all.
Ji Wudao had no choice but to focus on military achievements. A few years ago, when Xiao Ning commanded the three major military garrisons, the Oirat Mongols were frightened by him and dared not to invade again easily.
After Ji Wudao took over Xuanfu, the Oirat began to make moves again, but they did not dare to launch a large-scale invasion and only made some small moves secretly to test the situation. This time, the fourth prince of the Oirat was captured alive by Ji Wudao, but there was no unrest in Xuanfu. When Xiao Ning heard the news, he sent people to investigate, and found that the Oirat did not even disturb the people in the border town, but Ji Wudao captured the fourth prince of the Oirat out of thin air.
However, the fourth prince of the Oirat tribe, Tomin, was not favored in the Oirat tribe. Toghto Khan had eight sons, and Tomin was born to a slave girl. She had a low status in the Oirat tribe and was just a lowly slave.
Xiao Ning had a hunch that there must be something unusual, and after a secret investigation, he indeed found some unusual clues.
While Ji Wudao was escorting the fourth prince of the Oirat to the capital to report on his work, Xiao Ning had his men kidnap Ji Wudao's personal attendant. Through coercion and inducement, he managed to interrogate Ji Wudao and find out that he was doing arms business with the Oirat people.
In order to suppress the military power of the Annan Marquisate and the Zhongyong Marquisate, Emperor Mingzheng transferred the inferior military equipment from the Ministry of War to the two places. Only Ji Wudao, who had just emerged last year, had not yet established a firm foothold and had no military command in his hands. Emperor Mingzheng probably thought that he could not cause any trouble, so all the high-quality military equipment was transported to Xuanfu.
In order to profit, Ji Wudao somehow secretly contacted the eldest prince of the Oirat, Tuohuan, and the two colluded to benefit each other, and a batch of muskets and weapons fell into the hands of the Oirat people.
Yu Jiao was shocked. Isn't Ji Wudao collaborating with the enemy and committing treason?
Military families like Xiao Ning and Gu Yun hate people who collaborate with the enemy and sell out their country the most. They both gritted their teeth when they mentioned Ji Wudao. He ignored the people and his country for his own selfish interests, which was simply unworthy of being a minister.
Even though Xiao Ning was persecuted to this extent by Emperor Ming Zheng, he never had any thought of collaborating with the enemy and committing treason. People like Ji Wudao are complete villains!
Yu Jiao thought of the famous generals in history who had the words "Serve the country with loyalty and dedication" engraved on their backs. Even though their loyal bones were buried in the mountains, they still fought against the enemy and defended their country.
But there is no shortage of truly treacherous people like Ji Wudao in every dynasty, and such people will not have a good ending.
"I don't have any evidence of his collusion with the enemy. I came to Liangzhou to discuss this matter with Marquis Zhongyong, so that I can borrow his military power just in case." Xiao Ning is now a criminal wanted by Emperor Mingzheng. Although he has the tiger talisman in his hand, if he mobilizes troops privately while committing a crime, it would be tantamount to treason.
Liangzhou is only four days' journey from Datong. If Ji Wudao really joins hands with Wala to plot against Taiyan, the timely dispatch of troops by Marquis Zhongyong may be able to recover the losses.
Yu Jiao remembered that Marquis Zhongyong was the father of Empress Feng and the grandfather of Zhu Hui, and Ji Wudao belonged to Xue Rong's faction. So it seemed that Marquis Zhongyong should be willing to send troops to suppress Ji Wudao.
It's just that a country's generals are collaborating with the enemy and reselling military equipment, but they cannot be punished by the king, and can only rely on these people who sincerely serve the country to make plans privately. It's really sad.
Looking at the long history, such a dynasty would not exist for long.
"When I went to see the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, I happened to meet Feng Zheng who was returning from the Snow Region with Changhe, the young chief of the Snow Plains. His military doctors were helpless. I corresponded with Gu Yun and learned that you were about to arrive in Liangzhou, so I brought him here to seek medical treatment from you."
