The so-called dark chess in advance - Taining County, if you only observe from the map, due to the geographical location protruding forward, once the two swords and soldiers of Mobei and Youbei meet, it will immediately be called a lonely city with enemies on three sides. Even those ordinary people who don't know how to march and arrange formations can see the embarrassment of Taining County at a glance.

It is precisely because of the geographical location of Taining County that it is raided by a large number of grassland horse thieves in late autumn and early spring every year. Over time, those ordinary people living near Taining County were also unbearable many years ago and moved their families out of the country.

After a large number of people moved out, this Taining county has become an empty city that exists in name only. In addition to some of the traveling merchants who specialize in running black jobs, and those small businessmen who serve them; The entire Taining County has long been turned into a warehouse city for the transit of materials.

Recently, the largest amount of materials stored in Taining County are the free food and various medicinal materials used by the shamans to assist the Mobei brothers. Free food is worthless, and although those medicinal herbs are expensive, they are no less valuable than the grass roots and bark that can be seen everywhere for the Mobei people, and have no economic value.

Although the shamanism of Mobei and Youbei is a brotherly relationship of the same lineage; But after years of war and entanglements between the two kings, the shamanism of the two places still retains the same name; But in reality, they are already two completely different sects.

The shamanism of Youbei Sanlu, since the two shamans Li Xuanyu and Lin Siwei began to undergo reform, is gradually degenerating from a huge force integrating politics, religion and military into a pure spiritual symbol and charity. Now the shamans of Youbei 3rd Road are more likely to play the roles of Mr. Private School, You Fang Langzhong, agriculture, fishing and hunting technical guidance, disaster rescue, etc.; Moreover, after He Wendao succeeded as the great shaman and Yan Qinghong ascended the throne as emperor, the shamanism in Youbei has publicly announced its transformation.

However, the shamanism of the Mobei grassland still follows all the rituals and rituals that have been passed down from ancient times to the present. Whether it is a wedding, a funeral, or a traditional festival, whether it is birth, old age, sickness and death, or the alternation of imperial power; As long as it can be regarded as a major event in the hearts of the people, then it is indispensable to consult the shaman's opinion.

It is somewhat ironic that the style of primitive shamanism will be inherited and developed in the Mobei grassland......

However, the excessive power to speak is also the main reason for the misfortune caused by the Mobei shaman. Due to the high prestige of shamanism in the hearts of the people of the steppe, all the side khans, including Chaolu, were not qualified to participate in the game of the Golden Horde. And how can the leaders who have been completely cut off from their thoughts just because of a word from the shaman not regard these divine sticks as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh?

When He Wendao, a shaman in the northern part of Youbei, smelled the smell of blood on the grassland, he personally led the shaman wizard group who came to the disaster relief and retreated to the homeland of Youbei. The current Shaman He is an atheist who is dedicated to Taoism, so he has no interest in the selection of the next Golden Horde Khan in Mobei. However, he was worried about the Mobei believers who were bathed in the flames of war, so the shaman wizard group did not go far after retreating to the territory of Youbei, but continued to replenish and mobilize a sum of supplies, and the whole group was stationed in the border city of Taining County, waiting for the birth of the next Great Khan on the grassland.

And Ding Shuo's dark chess move refers to this group of compassionate and good-hearted shamans.

"Returning to Your Majesty, if the other party chooses to give up on rescuing Fuyu City, then I will issue the armor and banners of the traditional shaman guards to the group of Mobei barbarians who have been abandoned by their own people; After that, we mixed with our own sergeants and sent them to the border garrison in Taining County. However, at that time, Taining, a small county, had already become the general altar of shamanism on Zhongshan Road! ”

The way of using soldiers, attacking the heart is the top, and the siege is the bottom. The common people on the grassland did not secretly disdain and disgust for these shamans in the northern part of the country who had undergone great changes, as they did for the local shamans in Mobei; What's more, every time these Northern Shamans come to the grassland, they will bring a large amount of food and daily necessities to help their daily life; Moreover, the shaman in the northern part of the country will also boil some bitter decoctions, which can treat various diseases.

Most of the ways in which Mobei shamans treat diseases are mysterious rituals such as inviting gods, praying for blessings, and channeling; Despite the momentum of this approach, the results have been lackluster; But looking back, the pot of medicinal juice boiled by the shaman of Youbei is really disgusting, but the curative effect is visible to the naked eye!

The magic medicine concocted by these Northern shamans has been passed on by word of mouth among patients, and the prestige of the Northern Shamanism has been rapidly increased! Until the Youbei shaman withdrew from the Mobei grassland, it seemed to be fighting against the local shamanism.

And what's even more infuriating is that He Wendao, the great shaman of the Northern Shamanic Sect, is not only knowledgeable, but also proficient in ancient shamanic writing. He was able to accurately translate the ancient shamanic books of Mobei, and helped the Mobei shamanism to translate a number of letters with a long history. In this regard alone, Ho Wendao already has an absolute right to speak in the analysis of doctrines.

Therefore, when the shaman of Mobei University questioned the use of Qihuang by his counterparts in the northern part of the country to deceive people, He Wendao relied on a copy of the "Shamanic Argument Sutra" to refute these narrow-minded peers in public.

Before the war broke out, the entire eastern part of Cloudsdale, including the ASEAN grasslands bordering the north, had thoroughly embraced this "fresh" medical treatment of medication and acupuncture.

If everything develops as Yan Qinghong expected, once the group of Mobei cavalry abandoned by Chaolu is scattered and mixed, and they are disguised as Shaman Guards in Youbei and sent to the front line; Then such an inconspicuous border town will immediately be transformed into a holy place in the minds of Mobei shamanic believers!

Thinking of Chaolu, the leader of the Shenshi tribe, because his status was too low, he was originally not qualified to participate in this war of chasing deer in the grassland. And the fundamental reason why he can now participate in the struggle for the throne of the Khan is also under the banner of the Shamanic Guard.

Originally, it was a border friction between Youbei and the Shenshi tribe, and it will immediately become a dispute between the two shamanic religions of Mobei and Youbei.

It is foreseeable that even if the Shaman of Mobei comes back from the dead, he can only barely compete with his Northern Companion He Wendao at most; What's more, now the Chaolu Department is just a self-styled shaman guard, but in fact it is the culprit of the thief and the thief. Under such a huge difference, just wait for the two sides to meet each other, and the aspirations of the people of Mobei are not known.

What if there is an additional group of Mobei compatriots who are regarded as outcasts by him, who are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and fight for the noise of the three roads in Youbei?

Since he can come up with such a backhand, even if Ding Shuo has no other skills in tactics, he can definitely afford to be a general just by entering the in-depth psychological warfare with this hand!

After Yan Qinghong listened to his overall plan, he first looked back at Wan Changning and found that the other party was also full of approval, and immediately made a decision in his heart.

Through this paper conference, the two monarchs and ministers already have full confidence in this little-known grain official Ding Shuo. They were extremely convinced that if Ding Shuo had been sent to the front line of Zhongshan Road to lead troops to resist the enemy, even if he had not made any meritorious contributions, at least he would not have made those stupid command mistakes.

Yan Qinghong turned to the bookcase behind him, and casually pushed forward a small and delicate wooden box:

"Today, there is a desert northern thief chieftain Chaolu, who invaded my northern border for no reason, wantonly slaughtered innocent people, looted and burned villages along the way, his heart is vicious, and heaven is intolerable! However, I miss the old friendship between the two families, and I don't want to start the war lightly and use the sword in vain...... Ding Shuo! ”

"The minister is here!"

"I have appointed you as the general of Taining, led the second-grade military department, and granted you the right to arbitrarily make decisions on the spot, and allowed you to lead the Zhongshan Governor's army to clear the border of Zhongshan Road, and protect the integrity of my northern territory and the people. If you can capture the thief chief Chaolu and send his head to Fengjing, I will have another reward! ”

In fact, there are many vague points in Yan Qinghong's message. The Khan Dynasty Lu of the Shenshi tribe, as the largest prince of the entire ASEAN grassland, can almost conclude that he will not easily go deep into the territory of Youbei until he pacifies the entire Mobei grassland and officially enters the Yunzhong City; However, under such circumstances, where did Ding Shuo, the general of Taining, who was only ordered to purge the bandits at the border passes, have the opportunity to capture the thief chief Chaolu and behead him with his own hands?

Yan Qinghong, who was born as the second prince, although he did not personally command the army to kill the enemy; But he clearly knows that the fighter plane is fleeting. Therefore, the mystery of his mantra lies in the four words "arbitrariness on the spot". With these four words as a support and backer, then all the big and small battles related to the northern border of Zhongshan Road, he Ding Shuo has the right to cut first and then play. That is to say, at any time, as long as Ding Shuo thinks that the fighter plane that directly smashes Huanglong has appeared, he can act without a purpose, personally lead the army commander to drive the northern hinterland of Mobei, and capture the "thief chief" Chaolu.

This is also the biggest new appointment that a person who can give the commander of the army as a king.

With Ding Shuo, who was only thirty and twenty years old and had already worshiped the general of Taining, after receiving the tiger talisman given by Emperor Xingping, the war between the Shenshi tribe stationed near the grassland of ASEAN in Mobei and the three roads in Youbei officially kicked off.

At the same time, Fu Yi, the governor of Zhongshan Road, who had many incidents on his back foot, also rushed to the territory of Ludong Province of the Northern Yan Dynasty with his three deaf brothers!

Yes, Fu Yi, who ran away in a negative mood, still doesn't know anything about what happened in Nankang; It was also based on the news that he finally got that Shen Gui was haunted, so he chose to go straight to Nankang...... However, although the three deaf brothers of the winter solstice are all top killers with dexterity; However, none of them knew that since the four of them left the East Customs, they had been targeted to death.
