Chapter 892 The new king ascends the throne!

Although he wanted to kill Ye Mingsheng and all the rebel generals in front of him, the fierce fighting in front of him still forced Arsalan to shift his attention back to the real world...

Seeing that his guards were unable to capture these rebels, Arsalan felt some pressure and asked the guard captain Shujie beside him:

"Has the message been sent to Jamukha?"

Shujie said without hesitation:
"As soon as the battle started, I followed your instructions and sent someone to tell Jamukha to lead his troops to reinforce us. However, Jamukha's garrison is fifty miles away from the royal court!"

Listening to Shujie's words, Arsalan's expression also became serious. Seeing this, Shujie patted his chest and said:

"Please rest assured, Khan. We will wipe out these damned rebels as soon as possible and hang their heads on the wolf flag!"

As soon as Shujie finished speaking, the rebels in the royal court cheered. Arsaleng looked carefully and saw that the people who came were all subordinates of Nurjiang and Altan.

Seeing his subordinates rushing over, Nurjiang, who felt that he had a clear shot at Arsalan, was even more in high spirits, waving his sword and shouting loudly:

"Cut off the head of this tyrant Arsalan!"

"This bastard is the culprit why we lost to the Zhou people and the Cumans. I want to make his head into a chamber pot..."

The appearance of reinforcements boosted the morale of the rebels and they launched a fierce attack on Arsalan's guards.

Although as Arsalan's guards, they are the elite among the Robe people, well-equipped, with high combat qualities, and very loyal to Arsalan.

However, faced with rebels whose number was more than twice their own, they found it somewhat difficult to resist, and for a moment their defense line in the royal court became precarious.

Seeing this, Shu Jie, who had just patted his chest and said that he would wipe out the rebels, was a little worried at this moment. He commanded the guards to resist the offensive of the rebels, but seeing that the large number of rebels actually tried to surround the royal court, he was silent for a while, but could only come to Arsalan and whispered:

"The Khan's enemy army is large in number, and Jamukha's reinforcements will take some time to arrive. Do you want to avoid the front line for the time being?"

"There is an old saying from the Zhou people: if you keep the green mountains, you will never run out of firewood!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of bitterness appeared on Arsalan's resolute face.

Just as Shujie said, if the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. If it was a few years ago, Arsalan would definitely do the same thing. He would leave the royal court first and then summon the various tribes of Luobi to gather strength, annihilate the rebels in Nurjiang and Altan, and take back the royal court...
Unfortunately, the Zhou people also had a saying, which is "Times are different than the past!"
Under his leadership and command, the Robe people suffered successive defeats in battles with the Fengwu Army and the Cumans in recent years, and now they have even lost the western Elunqin steppe. The series of military failures not only caused the Robe people to suffer heavy casualties, but also seriously shook Arsalan's prestige in Robe, causing the Robe tribes and Arsalan to become alienated.

Now Arsalan can only rely on the royal court to continue to rule the Robe people. If he loses even the royal court, the Robe tribes will see his weakness even more clearly.

As a people of the steppes, the Robe people worshipped the power of force and strong men. What they needed was a Khan who could lead them to victory.

Therefore, if Arsalan escaped at this moment, even if he could survive, the foundation of his rule in Robe would be completely destroyed. Having lost everything, he would not be able to call on the various troops to annihilate the rebels. In this way, Arsalan would be completely defeated!

This was something Arsalan could never accept, so he would rather die in his own court than escape and live in disgrace!

Slowly pulling out his scimitar, Arsalan shouted to the guards who were struggling in front of him:

"Warriors of Luobi, hold on! Jamukha's reinforcements are coming soon. I, Arsalan, am with you!"

Arsalan’s roar was like a shot of chicken blood into the guards’ bodies, boosting their morale. However, facing a large number of enemy troops, it was hard to say how long the effect of the chicken blood could last...
·································
·································
At this time, Arsalan would never have thought that Jamukha, whom he had been thinking about so much, and his five thousand elite cavalry were quietly hiding on an unnamed hillside ten miles south of the royal court.

Surrounded and protected by his guards, Jamukha held up a monocular telescope and quietly observed the battle situation in the royal court. At this moment, he heard footsteps behind him.

Before Jamukha turned around to see who was coming, the questioning voice entered his ears.

"General Jamukha, a rebellion is breaking out in the royal court. What are you waiting for if you don't lead your troops to support the royal court?"

Upon hearing this, Jamukha frowned slightly, then put down the telescope and turned around, only to see a tall and mighty Luobi man looking at him excitedly.

This man's name was Baode. He was a captain of a thousand men under his command, but he also had another identity, that is, he was a relative of the Great Khan Arsalan!

Jamukha looked calmly at Baode who was speaking in a calm voice:
"You don't know Robbie's rules, do you?"

"Without the Khan's order, no army may go to the royal court without authorization. Now the situation in the royal court is unclear. You said that a rebellion has broken out. Where did you get the evidence?" Facing Jamukha's question, Baodena was even more anxious and spoke quickly:
“General Jamukha, the shouts and flames coming from the royal court are the evidence. What other evidence do you need…”

Listening to Baodena's words, a strange look flashed across Jamukha's eyes, but he continued in a deep voice:
"I only listen to the Khan's orders! I will do whatever the Khan tells me to do. If you have the Khan's orders, I will immediately lead my troops to the royal court. If you don't have the Khan's orders, I can only follow the Khan's previous orders and stay here!"

After hearing this, Baode became even more excited and wanted to say something, but when he looked at Zhamuhe's gloomy face, he seemed to realize something, and anger immediately emerged in his expression, but he quickly suppressed his emotions.

Baodena didn't want to say anything more. He bowed to Jamukha and was about to leave. Looking at Baodena's departing back, Jamukha's murderous intent was no longer concealed in the slightest.

Jamukha knew that Baode was not a person who would give up easily, and the reason why he chose to leave now was because he had realized his own thoughts, so he was ready to ignore his orders and lead his troops to attack privately to support the royal court!

Although Baode is a powerful general and is very easy to use, Jamukha cannot let him ruin his plan!
Today, either his plan succeeds and Jamukha rises to the top, or it fails and he is liquidated!

There is no third way except this, so no matter who stands in his way, Jamukha will kill him!

Jamukha gave a look to his trusted confidant Galiba, who immediately understood what he meant and took a few people to chase in the direction where Baodena left...

After doing all this, Jamukha turned around and continued to observe the situation in the royal court with the telescope he got from the Fengwu Army!
Whether it is Arsalan or the rebellious Nurjiang, Alten and the others are not fools. In order to force Nurjiang to abdicate today, Alten and the other two bribed Arsalan's confidant Akas. Arsalan also heard the rumors of forcing Nurjiang to abdicate, so he transferred Jamukha to his side, waiting for the rebellion to break out and letting Jamukha quickly support and quell the rebellion.

Whether it was Nurjiang Altan or Arsalan, their ideas were all good, and they all ignored Jamukha's ideas without exception!

As Arsalan's brother-in-law, Jamukha was trusted by Arsalan. As a member of the Luobei faction who knew Zhou, Jamukha admired the culture of the Great Zhou and always advocated strengthening trade and improving relations with the Fengwu Army. He also advocated joining forces with the Fengwu Army to fight against the Golden Horde.

Because his political ideas were appreciated by the Fengwu Army, Ye Mingsheng made an exception and sold him some pig iron and firearms. These things greatly increased the strength of Jamukha's troops and made them the powerful group among the Luobi tribes.

Although Robe was defeated in the battle with the Kipchaks last year, Jamukha’s performance was very eye-catching. Not only did he achieve a small victory in the early stage of the war, he also covered the rear of the large army and repelled the Kipchak pursuers, and won a lot of praise from the Robe tribes. This also made Arsalan trust his wife’s younger brother more...

However, hidden beneath Jamukha's submissive appearance was a huge ambition. He also wanted to become the Great Khan of Luobei!
Unlike Nurjiang and Alten who chose to force abdicate under the instigation of the Fengwu Army, Jamukha chose another path!

Jamukha believed that although Arsalan’s prestige within the Luobi had been greatly reduced due to the continuous defeats in recent years, Arsalan was still alive and well. After all, Arsalan had been the Great Khan for nearly twenty years and still had some supporters within the Luobi. Besides, he was still the recognized Great Khan among all the Luobi tribes!
As a grassland nation, although the Luobi people value strength more, they also care about justice. Therefore, even if you can kill Arsalan through force, you will be labeled a traitor. First of all, you will lose points in justice and you will not be able to stand firm. In this way, it will be difficult for you to make the Luobi tribes submit to you and recognize you as the Khan!
So Jamukha came up with a plan of the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole was waiting behind. He planned to let Nurjiang and Alten force the emperor to abdicate and kill Arsalan, and then he would take action to kill Nurjiang and Alten!

In this way, Nurjiang and Altan are the rebels, and Jamukha is the Luobei hero who put down the rebellion!

At this point, he has both strength and righteousness. He can be said to have grasped both ends and made both ends strong!

After doing all this, why worry that the next Khan of Luobei will not be him, Jamukha?
And just when Jamuka was imagining how proud he would be to become the Great Khan, deafening cheers indeed rang out from the royal court...

Hearing the cheers, Jamukha smiled slightly. He knew that his dear brother-in-law Arsalan had been killed. Now he could send troops to quell the rebellion as a hero of the Robe people!
Turning around, Jamukha quickly summoned his generals and issued the battle order he had prepared long ago. The entire army attacked the royal court of Robe.

At this time, Nurjiang and Altan were looking at Arsalan in front of them with angry eyes, immersed in the joy of victory. They did not expect that someone would attack them at this time. Therefore, under the assault of the elite cavalry under Jamukha, the rebels were caught off guard and immediately collapsed. Altan, one of the rebel leaders, also died in the chaos.

However, just when Jamukha was about to hunt down another rebel leader, Nurjiang, Nurjiang escaped from Jamukha's pursuit under the cover of a firearms attack.

Ten days later, in the Luo Bisoron tribe on the grassland, Zhang Ye, the shopkeeper of a branch of Da Dongsheng in a grassland group, respectfully reported to the fat middle-aged man in front of him:

"High Commissioner, after being rescued by Feihu, Nurjiang has returned to his own tribe, and Jamukha is preparing to convene the Sarge Conference to officially ascend the throne as Khan!"

Hearing this news, Gao Shen, the senior commissioner in charge of Luobei affairs at the Fengwu Army Foreign Affairs Bureau, nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Zhang Ye, you did a great job on this matter. I will ask the Coordination Office for credit for you..."

Zhang Ye was also delighted when he heard this and immediately said:
"Thank you very much, Commissioner High!"

After the two of them exchanged some pleasantries, Zhang Ye hesitated for a moment before finally asking about the confusion in his heart.

"Commissioner Gao, in my opinion, although Nurjiang was bribed by our army, he has never been very friendly to our army!"

"Zhamuhe is the most powerful person in the Luobi tribe who is close to us. I guess he has realized that it was our army that saved Nurjiang. So is it necessary to offend Zhamuhe for Nurjiang?"

Gao Shen was a little surprised by Zhang Ye's question. After thinking for a while, he explained to Zhang Ye:
"The Marshal once said that there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests!"

“Although Jamukha appears to be close to our army, he is still a grassland man at heart. The reason why he is close to our army is just to get the firearms and pig iron he wants from our army…”
