Yu Wenming returned to Liaodong City, and when he walked to the 'gate' of the Liaodong Xingying Marshal's Mansion, which had been converted from the original City Lord's Mansion, he saw a tall grassland man with several pigtails on his head standing there. He was dressed in a shirt sewn of animal skins, and he was looking at him with a respectful expression.

Although this person has a face full of 'flesh' and a vicious appearance, his expression at this time is respectful, and he can't see that he has fought several battles with Yu Wenming, and they can be regarded as enemies between them.

"Kubulai, you actually have the face to come to Liaodong City to look for me? Aren't you afraid that I'll arrest you and kill you? Yu Wenming pretended to be angry and shouted.

At this time, Kuburai knelt in front of Yu Wenming with a "poof", and then "knock, knock, knock" knocked three times in a row.

"Marshal Yuwen, Hu Bulai knows that he is wrong! shouldn't be 'confused' by ghosts, and after listening to Gao Jianwu's agitation, he tried in vain to compete with the army of the Celestial Empire. Now Kubrai realizes that only the Great Sui is our Tiele people's best friend. If the marshal can forgive me for my previous mistakes, the Tiele Ministry is willing to serve the Great Sui as the master! Kubrai wept and mourned, and kowtowed to the point where his head was bleeding. It looks like he wants to repent and reform.

Yu Wenming naturally couldn't believe that Kubrai would inexplicably change from fighting against the Sui army to taking refuge in the Sui army. This guy was defeated in his own hands when he was Turkic, but after arriving in Liaodong, he still did not repent, thinking that he could compete with the Sui army by climbing Goryeo, and did not flee back until the final defeat of Goryeo. How could such a diehard suddenly seem to be a different person?

However, who is Yu Wenming? He rolled his eyes a few times, and immediately guessed what was going on.

He then said lightly: "Kubulai, if my expectations are correct, it was Abao Cave who attacked you, right?" ”

After hearing this, Kuburai was stunned for a moment, and then then sneered again: "I know that I can't hide anything from the marshal, presumably the marshal has already set up spies on our grassland!" ”

Yu Wenming smiled slightly and said, "How could you think of coming to Dasui when you don't run out of mountains and rivers?" And on the grassland of Liaodong, there are still those who have the ability to expand externally, except for Abao Caves, I can't think of a second person. ”

He knew very well that a few months earlier in the battle against the Goryeo coalition forces, Kubulai's army suffered heavy losses in the attack on Liaodong City, and finally became the commander of the light pole and fled back to the tribe. However, the 15,000 cavalry led by Abao Cave did not stand still and did not participate in the attack, preserving their strength. Later, seeing that Goryeo was about to fall, Abao Cave immediately became a grass on the wall and turned to himself.

At that time, he was also short of allies, and 100,000 recruits did not dare to enter the battlefield on a large scale, which would inevitably cause huge losses. Therefore, the two sides tacitly formed an alliance and destroyed Goryeo together.

After the end of the war, among the various tribes of the Liaodong grassland, the Khitan tribe where the natural Abao caves are located has become the strongest tribe. And Abao Cave did not dare to attack the Sui Dynasty in the south, and if he wanted to expand his power, he would naturally attack the surrounding tribes. And Kubrai must be the first to bear the brunt.

He only needs to think a little more about this matter, and with his wisdom, he will naturally be able to guess the joints.

Ku Bulai suddenly realized, and he couldn't help but have another understanding of Yu Wenming's ingenuity in his heart.

He hurriedly hit the snake with the stick, accosted him and said, "The marshal is really powerful, and he guessed the reason at once." This Abao Cave is really deceitful! He was extremely greedy, arrogant and rude, and the Xi tribe, Heishui, and Sumo were all blackmailed by him and gave him a large piece of grassland. Now he has made his mind to us Tiele tribe again, not only asking us to cede the two most 'fat' and beautiful pastures, but also asking me to obey his orders from now on...... How does this work? Even if I have to listen to other people's orders, I will naturally listen to the marshal......"

Yu Wenming smiled slightly, and his heart was really similar to his previous estimate. He then patted Kubrai on the shoulder and said, "Kubrai, let's go!" Entering the hall, we have been talking at the 'door' and mouth, which will attract passers-by. In case there are Khitan spies among them, I'm afraid that Abao Cave will know that you have come to look for me, and then I am afraid that he will attack you in advance! ”

When Hu Bulai heard this, he was also startled, nodded quickly, and then followed Yu Wenming and walked quickly into the hall.

After the two sat down, the 'waiter' and 'woman' came up and served them two cups of green tea.

"Brother Kubrai, you will tell me in detail about the current situation in the Liaodong grassland. How many troops does Apo Cave have now? You can tell me all about the tribes he controls, and the people who are already dissatisfied with him, and who are trying to confront him like you. "Yu Wenming is 'coloring' at this time.

When Hu Bulai heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he secretly thought that Yu Wenming was inquiring about these situations, and it seemed that there was a play. He immediately poured rice into a bamboo tube and explained in detail the current situation in the Liaodong grassland.

Yu Wenming sat aside and listened carefully, and asked a few words from time to time, especially a few important links, and he also asked Kubrai to add an explanation.

The two have been 'dating' for more than two hours, and Kubrai was a little dry-mouthed, so Yu Wenming finally raised his hand and said: "Brother Kubrai, I see that the sky is almost dusk, and it is very hard for you to come from afar, so it is better to go to the guest room first and have a good night's rest." ”

When Hu Bulai heard this, he suddenly became anxious, and he hurriedly said: "Marshal Yuwen, this Abao Cave is really a wolf ambition!" If you don't get rid of him, I'm afraid that the entire Liaodong grassland will not be peaceful, and maybe it will threaten the safety of Liaodong City! ”

"That's it! Ben Shuai already knows! Yu Wenming waved his hand impatiently and said, "The matter of sending troops to fight as you requested is very important to my Liaodong camp. After all, we have signed an alliance agreement with the Khitan Ministry. Now that the Abao Grottoes have not attacked us, we have broken the contract without authorization, how can we win the trust of others? Besides, the battle of Goryeo has just subsided, and the battle is about to start again, so I am afraid that the soldiers will not be willing to ...... Therefore, you have to wait for the commander to discuss with the other generals in the camp before he can give you an answer! ”

When Kubrai heard Yu Wenming say this, he was helpless, so he had to take off his hat and salute, and then went to the guest room under the guidance of the two personal soldiers.

After Kubrai left, Yu Wenming walked out of the window with his hands behind his back, stared at the sunset, and pondered for a long time.

After a few moments, he shouted, "Someone! ”

The soldiers who were waiting at the entrance of the 'gate' hurriedly walked into the hall and asked, "I don't know what the marshal commands?" ”

"Go and call the three military advisors and a few generals! Say I have something urgent to discuss with them! Yu Wenming said loudly.

The soldiers were about to go out of the 'door' after answering the call, and Yu Wenming suddenly remembered that it was time for dinner. He didn't know when he was going to talk about it, but he didn't have to worry about putting his subordinates on dinner.

So, he hurriedly said: "By the way, you inform the kitchen, set up a banquet, and I will invite everyone to dinner tonight!" Let's discuss things at dinner. ”

The soldier nodded, and then went down to arrange the arrangement. About an hour later, the banquet was set up, and Hu Sizheng, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Qin Qiong, Guo Ziyi, Red Sleeves and others also came to the hall.

After everyone sat down one by one, Yu Wenming said to the soldiers waiting in the hall: "You guys should also go down to eat!" There is no need for people to wait here. ”

The soldiers knew that they had something important to discuss, so they naturally left very cooperatively, and closed the 'door' of the room before leaving.

Guo Ziyi couldn't bear it anymore, raised his wine glass and drank it all, then opened his eyes wide and asked, "Marshal, what happened?" Call us here in such a hurry. ”

Several other people present also set their eyes on Yu Wenming, with a 'confused' and 'confused' look, except for Red Sleeves who guessed some, the rest of them were a little uneasy in their hearts, for fear that there would be some major changes.

Yu Wenming sighed and said, "This old friend of ours, Abao Grotto, can't restrain his 'desire' to expand now. His strength was already stronger among the various tribes of the Liaodong steppe, but in the war with Goryeo, several other tribes participating in the coalition suffered very heavy losses, and even the leaders of the Heishui, Sumo, and Xi tribes were killed. ”

"And only the Abao Grottoes, which have suffered our losses before, have been cautious in the war, and they have not contributed to the work, and their strength has been preserved the best. Therefore, now he has become the strongest of the various departments of the Liaodong grassland. When Yu Wenming said this, he also took a sip of his wine glass.

After Du Ruhui heard this, he smiled faintly and said: "Then next, the powerful Abao Cave thinks that it is our ally, if he conquers other tribes, we will not intervene." It will naturally expand externally, and the strength of other tribes is far weaker than him, even such as Heishui, Sumo, Xi and other tribes, because the leader has just died, and the new leader has not yet been elected, and the interior is scattered, how can he be his opponent? ”

Yu Wenming put down the wine glass at this time, gently slapped his palm twice and said, "As you say, it is extremely true." The one who came to me for help this time was Kubrai. The Tiele Department where he is located is considered to be the strongest among the various departments in the Liaodong Grassland, but the Tiele Department suffered heavy losses when attacking Liaodong City, and only a few hundred horsemen escaped from Kubulai, and it is good to be able to barely maintain the current image of a strong foreign cadre. How can you resist the attack of Abao Cave. Therefore, now he hopes that I can come forward and help him attack the Khitan. ”

"Marshal, I think Kubrai's request should be met!" Qin Qiong said loudly at this time: "If we let Abao Cave wipe out the other tribes in Liaodong, after the family becomes dominant, he will inevitably go south to plunder and clash with us." Instead of waiting for him to grow up and fighting, it is better to kill him now while his strength is not strong enough! ”

Qin Qiong's words were immediately agreed by Guo Ziyi, and he also believed that since Abao Cave would have to fight with the Sui army sooner or later, it would be better to fight early that night. Now there are only 20,000 or 30,000 horses in Abao Cave, and the Sui army can still ensure that they defeat him. When he unifies all the departments in Liaodong and controls more than 100,000 strings, he will become a big trouble for the camp in Liaodong. Even if they can defeat Abao Grottoes at that time, the Sui army will inevitably pay a heavy price.
