Chapter 132
The migration route of the Yehe tribe
Although this prairie princess was later redeemed by the prairie Khan, she died suddenly of illness without any warning not long after!
After much investigation, Wanyan Hongyu learned that the grassland princess had deliberately avoided people for several months before her death. It was said that several midwives had mysteriously disappeared at that time!
In particular, before she died suddenly of illness, someone heard a lot of noise in the princess's tent and the crying of a baby!
After the princess died, all the servants around her disappeared mysteriously, no one found her alive or dead!
So, Wanyan Hongyu made a bold guess!
After the grassland princess was captured, she was probably given to the Guannei Marquis who guarded Guanzhong because of her beauty.
The princess's return to the grassland and subsequent sudden death were most likely a cover-up to whitewash her identity. The princess and her child should have been sent back to Taiyue!
And Yue Wuji is the baby born to the grassland princess! Otherwise, no one can explain Yue Wuji's inexplicable act of treason!
…
To be honest, although there was no more real evidence in Wanyan Hongyu's statement, Yue Lingxi believed him extremely.
The reason is very simple. When a dying man is about to speak well, there is no need for him to frame Yue Wuji with false charges.
And, most importantly!
Yue Wuji definitely played a very dishonorable role in the empire's disastrous defeat twenty years ago! This was confirmed by the captured Taiyue soldiers and generals brought by Wanyan Hongyu!
There were more than 50,000 captured soldiers and generals at that time, and they have been enslaved in Yehe for more than 20 years. Now, less than 2,000 of them are still alive!
Tens of thousands of imperial soldiers suffered humiliation, and hundreds of thousands of valiant men were buried in a foreign land! Even if Yue Wuji wasn't of grassland descent, he would still be an eternal sinner of the empire!
For Yue Lingxi, he is the culprit who destroyed his family and relatives!
Therefore, he strictly blocked the news of the Yehe war, returned to Youzhou in a low-key manner, but entered Yanjing in a high-profile manner. The reason was to conceal his tracks and discuss the next course of action with Liu Buqi!
He wants to put an end to this traitor to the empire!
…
Liu Buqi questioned several captured soldiers who had returned with Yue Lingxi, and personally met with the former Yehe leader Wanyan Hongyu, verifying every word he said again and again!
Liu Buqi's conclusion is basically the same as Yue Lingxi and Wanyan Hongyu's. What Yue Wuji did is really unreasonable. As the saying goes, anything abnormal is a demon.
Besides... Guannei Hou had troubled Yue Lingxi and Liu Buqi both in Youzhou and Jinan, and he even took the lead in raising an army, causing chaos in the empire!
Taking action against him, even if it's a mistake, is no big deal! It won't trigger any chain reaction!
However, it would be meaningless for Youzhou to take rash action against Yue Wuji relying solely on its own strength. On the one hand, the two countries are not bordering each other, and the action of mobilizing troops will inevitably be discovered early.
On the other hand, they lack confidence! Youzhou has been through a series of wars this year and is already overwhelmed. If another war breaks out, I'm afraid the people will rise up in rebellion!
After a long moment of contemplation, Liu Buqi stared straight at Wanyan Hongyu and asked, "Lord Yehe, are you willing to trade your life for a piece of land that Yehe had to fight for?"
Wanyan Hongyu had long heard of the name of the Youzhou Spirit Fox. It could even be said that Liu Buqi was the culprit behind Yehe's current situation!
But now that he was under someone else's roof, how could he not bow his head? Besides, he had already come here with the intention of dying, so there was no reason to hesitate!
"Madam, don't even mention my own head, even if you need the heads of my entire family, as long as it helps me preserve the incense and inheritance of my ancestors, I will do whatever you say!"
Liu Buqi nodded in satisfaction and asked Yue Lingxi, "Have you built a defense line along the Yalu River?"
After receiving a positive response, Liu Buqi said to Wanyan Hongyu, "My husband's word is his bond. Since he has agreed to your conditions, he will definitely carry them out! But Yehe cannot remain in the land of white mountains and black waters!"
"Cross the Yalu River and reach the seaside, which is the place where Yehe will be sheltered by Youzhou! If you are willing, you can arrange for your trusted people to return. The Youzhou army can open a passage and even provide you with some food and fodder to help the Yehe tribe cross the river!"
Wanyan Hongyu silently calculated that the world outside the Yalu River was the Koreans'. The arrangement made by Youzhou Linghu clearly indicated that the Yehe people had to snatch land from the Koreans and establish a place where they could make a living!
With the current strength of the Yehe tribe, facing the more primitive Koreans would be extremely tragic, but it is still a way out.
"The Yehe tribe is willing to migrate beyond the Yalu River. Within a hundred years, no one from Yehe will set foot on the land of Taiyue!"
After all, any hardship in the future would be better than being exterminated by Youzhou right now! Wanyan Hongyu tearfully agreed and immediately ordered his trusted aides to return to Heishui and organize an immediate evacuation.
He himself is always ready to sacrifice his own life in exchange for Yehe's living space!
That night, Yue Lingxi ordered his confidants to pass on the follow-up arrangements to Wang Changling and Gao Yi who were in charge of the expeditionary force, ordering them to organize the construction of the Yalu River defense line, stabilize the situation in Heishui, and assist the Yehe tribe in its migration!
…
Today is the day that Liu Buqi is released from confinement. For more than half a month, Yue Lingxi has been hiding in Liu Buqi's bedroom, and the two have repeatedly discussed how to deal with the next action.
The Yehe tribe of Heishui has gathered the remains of their ancestors and started migrating to the Yalu River. Wanyan Liang, the son of the new Yehe leader Wanyan Hongyu, had quietly completed the transfer of power before his father entered Youzhou.
He led the last elite soldiers of the Yehe tribe across the Yalu River. They wanted to be the first to open up a place for the tribe to live.
The road ahead is long, and no one knows whether survival or destruction awaits the Yehe tribe!
Yue Hanxin rushed to Liu Buqi early in the morning. After the Tiance army attacked Tai'an Prefecture, they are still stationed outside Tai'an City.
Although Liu Buqi tacitly agreed with Changsun Wuwo's eagerness to save his master and to kill the "culprit".
But whether it is the people of Tai'an City or Youzhou, their views on the Tiance Army or the imperial court have fundamentally changed!
Many officials who originally supported Yue Hanxin have now begun to change their stance.
Therefore, although no one restricted her freedom, Yue Hanxin still deliberately avoided suspicion and "sealed" herself in the palace during this period. Except for Xu Ningmei who would occasionally visit her, Yue Hanxin almost became a transparent person in the palace.
As for where her future will go, Yue Hanxin no longer has any extravagant hopes at this moment. Everyone knows that living alone in the palace for the rest of her life is her best ending!
It is pointless to feel sorry for a beautiful lady of her generation who has fallen into such a state! It is even more meaningless to sigh for others!
Yue Hanxin still had to live her life on her own! So, today, when the eldest son of the King of Yan was one month old, she was the first to rush over to congratulate him, and her purpose was also to see Liu Buqi.
Unexpectedly, a huge "surprise" was waiting for her!
