Chapter 155: True and False Horse Bandits (Supplement)
Dali Mountain is a mysterious mountain, mysterious and unpredictable, and all ethnic groups in northern Xinjiang respect it as "holy mountain".
The eastern side of Dali Mountain is a grassland, which nurtures a group of barbarians such as Dongdi and Xidi; To the west is the desert, with a vast expanse of yellow sand, and the geographical environment is very different.
However, the desert here is not completely uninhabited, there are more than 100 lakes of all sizes in the desert, some lakes are freshwater lakes, some lakes are saltwater lakes, and some lakes are saltwater lakes, but there are many springs in the saltwater lakes, gushing fresh water day and night.
This strange landform makes this desert area also have many small tribes, attached to the lake to live, Qin Zhen tribe is one of them.
Late at night, it was cold.
The undulating sand dunes are like hills, the high ones are more than 200 zhang, and the small ones are dozens of zhang to more than 100 zhang, behind the sand dunes, there is a team that is quietly sneaking towards the Qin Chu tribe along the sand ridge.
The Qin Chu tribe lives near the lake, behind which is a large sand dune nearly two hundred zhang high, the team stopped on the dune, and after a while, someone gave an order, and these people carried long knives on their backs, and they all went down the sand dunes, and rushed to the tribe under the sand dunes with the speed of rushing down quickly.
Thundered......
The sand mountain here is the sound of sand, nearly a thousand people rushed down the mountain, the huge roar caused by it, as if several giant bombers swept over the tribe, and like a dull and far-reaching thunder, the loudness can be heard for dozens of miles in this quiet night. The people of the Qin Chu tribe were awakened, but they had no time to respond.
The shouts of killing suddenly rang out. The silent and dark tribe by the lake was suddenly ablaze, with the cries of women and children, the barking of dogs and cows and horses. The clash of swords, guns, and halberds, as well as the sound of cursing and shouting, intertwined, turning the silent desert into a pot of porridge.
By the time the first rays of the dawn sun shone down on the earth, the tribe had fallen silent. There were several corpses lying on the ground, blood flowing everywhere, frozen into red ice, and the whole tribe was regaining its calm.
Some people were counting their belongings and food. Carrying away what was easy to carry, some people buried their partners who died in the melee last night under the sand slope. Others were feeding their looted camels and horses with concentrated feed such as beans and hay. Still others are screening captured Burakuren.
These tribesmen were not all tribal freemen, and there were many slaves among them. These slaves included the Dongdi people, the Han people, the bird birds, the Qi people, and the people of the Western Regions. There were even people who belonged to the same desert clan as this Qin Chun tribe, because their tribe was reduced to slavery because of their defeat in the inter-tribal battle.
These mysterious visitors set the slaves free, giving them possessions, food, weapons, and even women. Even if it was a little timid. The slaves who did not dare to rebel against the old master, when they received the property and weapons, turned the former mistress into their own woman, and suddenly had the courage to fight.
What's more, many slaves who were abused by the old master were just weak and didn't dare to resist in order to survive, but now they have turned over and become masters, with these people as backers. They wanted to be cruel to their old master even more than this team of unknown origin.
Soon, the freed slaves and the interned Buraku people figured out where they came from. These are two well-known horse bandits, one is the 'little wolf king' dominated by the Han people, and the other is the 'mountain wind' dominated by the Di people. 'Little Wolf King' and 'Mountain Wind' are both nicknames for the bandit leader, and the bandits don't need to be under any banner, and in order to distinguish them, others use the nickname of their leader to name them.
There is a special character in the team of the 'Little Wolf King', that is, Yao'er who is glued to the beard, although it is nondescript, but it is more than enough to hide his true face. When she heard about the Lone Bamboo crisis that day, Yao'er suddenly thought that since her appearance was similar to that Ye Heyuxiang, she could make Dongdi people make a big mistake, so could she repeat her old trick and use this identity to make some trouble for Di people?
As for how to make trouble for the Di people, she hasn't thought about it yet, she plans to return to the Dongdi King City again and then act again, it is impossible for a team of horse thieves to have any impact on the military action to be taken by the Di people who have nearly 300,000 people who control the strings, but if you add her Ye He Yuxiang's identity, it is difficult to say.
If the identity of Ye He Yuxiang can be used to make the Di people suspicious of each other, and even provoke disputes between them, causing greater turmoil, the Di people will no longer be able to send troops to attack Daqi under this situation of internal instability.
In this way, before they can settle the internal disputes, the Guzhu military can calmly respond to the situation, replenish the troops, adjust the deployment, strengthen the city defenses, and make the information they get useless, this plan is undoubtedly very risky, but it is indeed too tempting.
Especially after the success of the Dongdi Royal City last time, Mi Zixuan also knows the marrow, if he can use a trick to stop the army of hundreds of thousands of Di people from going south, this risk is obviously worth taking.
So after careful consideration, Mi Zihui decided to take the horse thieves of the little wolf king Huyi as the main backbone, and then seconded some elite horsemen from Su Litan to disguise themselves as a team of horse bandits to infiltrate the territory of the Di people, and then they took the opportunity to act. When you need to be a bandit, you are a bandit, and when you need to turn into a soldier, Yao'er just tears off her beard...... The rough man became handsome and pretty in a second.
Once the action is formulated, the biggest obstacle is Gao Yu'er and Mu Sina, who were originally used as decorations, Yao'er does not want to carry out this operation through the guò military, first of all, Qian Renjie may not agree to such a risky action, let him throw thousands of lone soldiers into the Di people wolf pack to fend for themselves, this responsibility is too big.
At the same time, the spies are really pervasive, according to the news received by Mi Zixuan, the two Di people spies were able to escape with the help of the internal response in the army, so it seems that the tribe of Sulitan and the horse bandit gang of Huyi are more pure. But in this case, how can you explain it to Gao Yu'er and Musina?
Huyi offers the easiest way to do it: kill them!
This method is indeed no trouble, but Yao'er can't do it, for the life and death of hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people who may be saved, sacrifice two innocent people, this price seems to be worth it, but Yao'er will never agree, she wants to persuade these two people to join her plan.
When passing through an oasis town, Yao'er called them to his residence, saying that the secret report system of the Tongguò court had learned that the Di people had fled back to the Di people with important military information, and in order to prevent the possible surprise attack of the Di people, he wanted to use his resemblance to Ye He Yuxiang to infiltrate and create unrest.
In addition to the damage caused by the Di people once they invaded, Yao'er spared no effort to talk about how much future he could get once the matter was completed. Gao Yu'er and Mu Sina are not stupid, from her all the way to Chizhai Department, and then take people to Dongdi for a turn, they have collected enough information, they know that this woman has other sources and forces to help, and the two of them are just decorations.
Years of scout career, they have developed a cautious and meticulous mind, they don't want to inquire about Yao'er's secrets, they are not afraid of death, their home is in the lonely bamboo, what Yao'er does is beneficial to their parents and relatives, this is enough. What's more, they also know what this adventure will mean if it succeeds.
Another important point is that along the way, the relationship between the three of them is very harmonious.
So, the two servants, who were already taking adventures as their profession, agreed to act with him.
After that, Mi Zixuan stopped in that town, sent his cronies back to the Chizhai Ministry, and asked Su Litan for people, even if the Chizhai Ministry, even if there were spies, it was impossible to form a powerful spy system, if there were only one or two eyes and ears, it was impossible for them to send any news on such a snowy day, unless he defected and never returned.
Rao is so, Mi Zi Xuan still made a full secret of this heavy action, he sent his cronies to meet Mi Zi Xuan to discuss the matter, only to the outside world said that he was attacked by horse bandits on the way, so he needed to be protected by the Chi Zhai Department, Su Litan personally selected the most brave and good at fighting, and the most trustworthy 1,500 henchmen and warriors, only the leader of the team knew the details, until 1,500 warriors arrived in the town, and then officially announced the task to them.
During this period, Mi Zi Xuan also notified Nao'er to send someone to pick him up, his people came earlier than the 1,500 cavalry of the Chi Zhai Division, and after the matter was arranged, Hu Yi and Yao'er led the horse thieves and the Chi Zhai cavalry to divert to Dongdi, and Mi Zi Xuan returned to Nao'er.
Yao'er and Huyi led 2,000 people to cross the Dali Mountain on foot, into the desert, Huyi has been crisscrossing all over the country in recent years, the most important thing is to find out information for Mi Zixuan, make contacts, and complete some tasks that are not suitable for the official face, he and the leader of a horse bandit gang in the west of Dali Mountain are friends of eight worships.
Huyi took people to find the station of Guo Shanfeng, originally wanted to buy some horses from him, who knew that Guo Shanfeng heard that he led people to sneak into Dongdi this time to do a few big deals, and he was interested, so he had to quarrel with him to do it, and grabbed things and women.
Huyi secretly asked Yao'er, Yao'er sneaked into the people this time, eager to turn him upside down, how can there be no reason not to agree, and with the help of this local horse bandit, it is equivalent to having an extra pair of eyes and ears, which will make her have a higher success rate, Huyi agreed to the request of the mountain wind, and said very magnanimously: The gold, silver and grain that were robbed were added to the five, and the cattle, sheep, horses, women and slaves that were robbed were all owned by the mountain wind, and the mountain wind patted Huyi's shoulder and called his brothers.
As a result, a group of real horse bandits and a group of fake horse bandits began a sweep of the Di tribe from west to east in cooperation with each other. (To be continued......)
