Chapter 330: The Secret Strategy
During Liu Xiao's envoy, Xiao Tienu's military operations against Lingzhou did not stop, and Brother Wei Mingcha did not put pressure on the Han envoy because of this, as if this envoy and Xiao Tienu were two families.
Zong Han and the others couldn't find out what they were talking about, but looking at the situation, they also guessed that the forces represented by this envoy were probably not the same as Xiao Tienu within the Han Court, and Gao Qingyi asserted that Brother Wei Mingcha was also well aware of the key here, so this strange situation occurred.
A few days later, the envoy returned from Zhongxing Mansion and stayed in Lingzhou for another day before leaving for the south. Seeing the Han envoy leaving, Zong Han couldn't help but be suspicious, and Yelu Yu said: "I'm going to ask Brother Wei Mingcha to see what they talked about with the Han envoy!" ”
Gao Qingyi exclaimed: "Absolutely not! If it has nothing to do with us, we are afraid that it will make them suspicious of us. ”
Jeruyu said, "If the matter has nothing to do with us, why should he hide it from us so tightly?" I think most of this has a lot to do with it! ”
"I also know that it has a lot to do with it, but even so, I can't ask Brother Wei Mingcha!" Gao Qingyi said: "What's more, since they plan to hide it from us, they will not say it!" ”
Yelu Yu said, "Then what should I do?" Is it impossible to just sit back and wait for death? ”
At this time, Zong Han and the others had already faintly felt the urgency of the crisis, but they couldn't help but beat wildly when they heard the words "sit and wait to die". Although it is not known what agreement the Xia people and the Han envoys have reached, what is the worst-case scenario for these Jin army leaders, they have actually considered it in their hearts, but they just dare not say it.
After thinking about it, Gao Qingyi finally gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do it!" ”
Yelu Yu asked, "What are you doing?" ”
Gao Qingyi said: "Robber messenger! ”
Wanyan Xiyin was shocked: "This ...... That's too bold, isn't it? If the matter has nothing to do with us, wouldn't it be a big thing for nothing? ”
However, Yelu said, "I agree with Mr. Gao's statement. Judging from the current situation, the good relationship between Han and Xia can only be bad for us, not good. ”
Wanyan Xiyin said: "Even so, once we rob the Han envoy, it will be a blatant tear with the Xia people, how can we join hands to fight the enemy in the future?" ”
Yelu Yu said, "But what if the Xia people sell us? ”
His words made the people in the venue frown a few times, but Wanyan Xiyin still advocated being serious, and the last few people turned their eyes to Zong Han and asked him to make a decision.
Zong Han pondered for a long time, and finally said, "Let's do it." However, there is room for excuses! ”
Yelu Yu said, "I'll do it!" The people escorted by Brother Wei and the Han envoys were only a few hundred. I chose 2,000 elite soldiers, set out tonight to catch up, and pretended to be a robber to kill him. ”
Wanyan Xiyin said: "Where did such a bold robber come from? ”
"If you can't be a bandit, then pretend to be a rebel!" Gao Qingyi said: "Actually, the main thing is just to give Brother Wei Mingcha an explanation. With Brother Wei's shrewdness, as long as we do it, no matter how we cover it up, there will always be a day when he will see through it. But as long as Xiao Tienu's threat is not lifted, and we still have the value of use, I don't expect him to pierce this layer of kraft paper. As for the things to come...... I can't take care of the present, but can I still take care of the future? ”
Zong Han nodded yes, and let Yelu Yu see the secret operation. Yelu Yu saw that he selected elite soldiers on the same day, set off overnight, and came back quietly in the night two days later, Zong Han waited for his eyes to be straight, and when he saw that he couldn't care about anything else, he asked, "How is it?" ”
Yelu Yu's expression was extremely gloomy, and he said, "I have killed all the people, but the news is extremely unfavorable. As he spoke, he took out two things, one was the head of the Han envoy Liu Xiao, and the other was a document!
Zong Han took the paperwork and looked at it hurriedly, his eyes closed tightly, and he sat down on the chair with his hand on his forehead. At this time, Zong Han was not young anymore, and his hair was half white, but after he read this letter, he seemed to be ten years old in a moment!
Wanyan Xiyin and Gao Qingyi didn't dare to disturb him, but they came to ask Yelu Yujian: "What's wrong?" ”
Yelu Yu said: "The messenger was sent by Yang Yingqi, and he is willing to make peace with Qianshun." He has seven conditions, if Qianshun agrees, he promises to find a way to let Xiao Tienu retreat! ”
Why did Yang Yingqi talk about peace, and how he let Xiao Tienu withdraw from the army, these questions are naturally extremely important, but at this moment, Wanyan Xiyin and Gao Qingyi are more concerned about another question: "What does Yang Yingqi want to agree to?" ”
Yelu Yu glanced at Zong Han, Zong Han waved his hand angrily, and said, "Tell them!" ”
Yelu Yu let out a long sigh and said: "Yang Yingqi put forward three conditions: first, Qianshun will be honored, and he will not be called the emperor in the territory; second, land cutting, Silk Road co-management; third, the prince of the Western Xia sent Tanggu as a hostage; Fourth, open trade routes, and Han Xia merchants can come and go if they have a guide; Fifth, through talents, the people of the Han Xia can go to the other party's territory to study and become officials; Sixth, dating hunting, you must go to northern Shaanxi or Eilechuan, and hunt with the emperor or prince of the Han Dynasty; Seventh, capture the thieves, and the two sides of the cross-border thieves will be repatriated to each other. But there's a note under the last one......"
Wanyan Xiyin and Gao Qingyi asked in unison, "What note?" ”
Before Yelu could answer, Zong Han had already jumped up and said angrily: "It's my head!" ”
Although they had been mentally prepared in advance, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, not knowing what to do. Gao Qingyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, please let me see the authenticity of the documents." ”
Zong Han was impatient at this time, so he threw the paperwork over. Gao Qingyi took it and examined it carefully, and from this document, it seems that Qianshun still has reservations about the first six articles, hoping to make further negotiations with Yang Yingqi, but he does not hesitate to hand over Zong Han. Gao Qingyi looked at it for a long time, and finally sighed: "The document is real." Qianshun, and Brother Wei Mingcha, they really want to sell us! ”
Wanyan Xiyin said: "Then what should we do?" You can't just wait for him to clean up, can you? ”
Yelu Yu said: "Yes, the first strike is stronger, and then the first attack will suffer!" ”
Zong Han sighed: "But with our current situation, even if we strike first, we may not be able to succeed, and even if we succeed, what can we do?" Xiao Tienu is eyeing us, isn't he just waiting for us to lose both? That's it! It's all over! I'm nowhere to go, you ...... Seek your own way. Zhi Yanchong is inseparable from me, and he will not stop if he doesn't see my corpse. But he has always flaunted his magnanimity, and even my bony brother can accommodate you, and maybe treat you well, I don't know. You guys...... Why don't you go to the Han Ministry......"
Before he finished speaking, Gao Qingyi was already crying, knelt down and hugged Zong Han, and shouted, "Your Majesty! If you say so, what is the place of vassals? He is not a Jurchen, but he is more loyal than the Jurchens, he is really a wise man among slaves, the best among wise men, Wanyan Xiyin saw it, and couldn't help but sigh sadly.
Zong Han said miserably: "If you don't say that, what else can I say? What else can I do if I don't? ”
Wanyan Xiyin snorted and said, "No matter what, I don't want to be tied!" ”
Yelu Yu also said: "Yes, at most, fight a fish to break the net!" Lose three! ”
A trace of ruthlessness and cruelty flashed in Zong Han's eyes, and he muttered, "The fish is dead and the net is broken...... Lose three ......"
Gao Qingyi launched a ruthless attack and shouted: "Not bad! Not bad! Brother Wei Ming Cha is so ruthless, even if we don't have a way out in the end, we can't make them feel better! ”
Yelu Yu said: "But among the three, we are the least powerful, if we want to hit the other two at the same time, I am afraid ...... It's hard, I'm afraid. ”
"Facing the enemy head-on, naturally impossible!" Gao Qingyi said: "But if we can set up a situation for them to kill each other, we can't sit back and watch the tiger fight!" ”
Yelu Yu said: "Layout? We don't need to tease us, they're killing each other now, right? ”
"That's different!" Gao Qingyi said: "Now the two of them are tightly guarded against each other, and there are few flaws in each other, but if we can arrange a situation for them to meet in a narrow way, then they will rush to the battle, and both sides will suffer a lot of losses." If Wei Mingcha wins, the military situation of the Han army in the northwest is bound to be a setback, and it will have to be a year and a half to make a comeback, and during this time, we may be able to find a turning point. If Xiao Tienu wins, we will fish in troubled waters, and it is better to seize the Western Xia than to tie them up and let them give us to Zheyan Chong! ”
Wanyan Xiyin's eyes flickered, and he didn't seem to agree, but Zong Han had already asked how to lay it out, so Wanyan Xiyin didn't speak. Gao Qingyi said: "Now that the Han envoy has taken the initiative to make peace, I expect that there will be hidden dangers in Tanggu, so Yang Yingqi is anxious to end the war in the northwest as soon as possible, and Xiao Tienu is not waiting for the coming spring, he is anxious to fight a decisive battle, most of his military rations are also insufficient, and Brother Cha does not know that we have the intention of trying to make him, and the defense outside the city is still in our place." These three points are our chances to win! ”
Yelu Yu asked: "Does Mr. Gao mean to deceive the village and let Xiao Tienu launch an attack on Lingzhou in advance?" ”
"And that's not all!" Gao Qingyi said: "We not only have to find someone to dedicate the camp to Xiao Tienu, but also find someone to sell our news to Brother Wei Mingcha!" ”
Wanyan Xiyin and Yelu Yujian couldn't help but be moved when they heard this, and asked together: "Sold to two at the same time?" ”
"Not bad!" Gao Qingyi said: "Xiao Tienu is anxious to win, if we can find a suitable person and tell him that he is willing to open the gate to greet him, he will come overnight." If Xiao Tienu is willing to come, we will sell another message to Brother Wei Mingcha and let him come to quell the rebellion! If we can calculate the right time, when both of them come to the village, we will close the gate of the village, and then ......"
Zong Han laughed and said, "When the time comes, the two of them will fight in front of the village." Good, good! Wonderful! Wonderful! ”
Wanyan Xiyin frowned and said, "That's ...... It may not be successful. Besides, if the two of them see that something is wrong and cautiously withdraw their troops, and the losses of each other are not great, then we may not be able to get benefits, but we will end up with people on both sides. ”
Zong Han's eyes were already red, and he shouted, "Aren't we not people on both sides now?" Sitting and waiting, sooner or later it will be a death. We are dead, what is the difference between this northwest Han Xia and Xia? It's better to give it a go and stir up the situation in the northwest, and there may be a glimmer of life at that time! ”
Yelu Yu suddenly said: "After Mr. Gao's inspiration, I have another plan. This strategy and Mr. Gao's strategy complement each other, and may work wonders, and even inflict heavy damage on both armies at the same time. ”
Gao Qingyi and Wanyan Xiyin were taken aback when they heard this, you must know that Xiao Tienu and Wei Mingchage have more than 100,000 horses under their command, I don't know what kind of poisonous plan Yelu Yu has to inflict heavy damage on the two armies at the same time? All of a sudden, all six eyes were fixed on Jeruyu, to listen to his scheme.
