Chapter 291: Fuyu Tribe
In Mu Bai's view, there is no hope for the Goguryeo tribe, and in the future, the Goguryeo tribe will either be exterminated by the Youzhou official army, or be subdued by the Fuyu tribe, but one thing is worth affirming, the Goguryeo tribe that was unparalleled in the Liaodong region in the past is destined to disappear in the long river of history.
Thinking of this, Mu Bai slammed the bronze jue in his hand to the ground, "Even if I, Mu Bai, leave the tribe to the Fuyu tribe, I won't leave it to your Youzhou officials!" ”
In this moment of crisis, Mu Bai did not enjoy this last happy time, but came to the people of the tribe, distributed food to the people, and ate with the people, so as to win the hearts of the tribesmen. Because in the siege battle, Mu Bai also needed these people and his subordinates to help the soldiers transport things to prepare for the siege.
Although Mu Bai almost died under Tai Shici's divine arrow, as the leader of the tribe, Mu Bai had to go to the city gate to comfort the soldiers defending the city, so that the soldiers felt that Mu Bai was one with them, so that the soldiers could unite as one.
Raising his eyes and looking at the star-like tents of the official army camp, turning his head and seeing the decadent appearance of his tribesmen, Mu Bai sighed deeply, and it is still unknown whether the current troops can block the attack of the official army.
The soldier guarding the city gate stood at the city gate for a day and witnessed the strength of the official army, and he was also very puzzled about whether he could hold the city, and his own army now had 20,000 soldiers, but it was a ragtag army that had been put together temporarily.
Although the official army of Youzhou is also a combination of soldiers and horses from several counties, its combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the old and weak, women and children.
The more he compared with the official army, Mu Bai felt that his chances of victory were smaller, but he still fought hard and inspired the soldiers defending the city to say a few words, but the response of the soldiers was not very big.
Mu Bai saw the desperate look on the faces of the subordinates, and shook his head slightly, it seems that the battle of the officers and soldiers last night left a deep impression on the hearts of the subordinates, if you want to remove the fear in your heart, you can only sharpen it on the battlefield.
At this time, the soldiers sent by Mu Bai to the Fuyu tribe finally arrived. When Wei Qiutai heard the news that the envoy of the Goguryeo Ministry asked to meet him, Wei Qiutai felt a little strange in his heart, and the alliance between the Goguryeo tribe and the official army could be said to have the upper hand. With the ambition to send troops to subdue the Goguryeo tribe, Wei Qiutai was forced to flee without a fight due to the situation, and every time he thought of this incident in the past two days, Wei Qiutai felt an indescribable sense of humiliation rise in his heart.
Now that he heard that the envoy of the Goguryeo tribe was coming, Wei Qiutai speculated about the intention of this envoy, could it be that he was relying on the power of the official army to blackmail the Fuyu tribe?
"Let him in." Wei Qiutai's face was not very good-looking, and he ordered his soldiers to let the messenger in.
Seeing the envoy of the Goguryeo tribe who entered the tent, Wei Qiutai showed a look of surprise on his face, originally thinking that the envoy of the Goguryeo tribe should be well-dressed and have the demeanor of a great country. But the outfit of the envoy in front of him greatly exceeded the expectations of Wei Qiutai and the others. There were not only several fire-burning hollows in his clothes, but also some knife marks, and the messenger was also unkempt, and a feathered arrow was stuck in his shoulder, and dark red blood soaked a large part of his clothes over his shoulder.
Wei Qiutai glanced at the envoy up and down, and before he had time to ask what was going on with the envoy's injuries, after the envoy saw Wei Qiutai, it was as if he had seen a relative who had not seen him for a long time, and knelt on the ground with a "poof": "Please save my Goguryeo tribe from the chief." ”
"Goguryeo tribes?" Wei Qiutai raised his eyebrows and stood up from the brocade couch, "What happened to the Goguryeo tribe?" "Looking at the appearance of this envoy, it seems that a great disaster has occurred in the Goguryeo tribe, and what surprised Wei Qiutai was who dared to do something to the Goguryeo tribe.
The Goguryeo tribe has officials and soldiers to take care of it, not to mention in the Liaodong region, even if you look at the overseas Yi tribe in the entire Youzhou, I am afraid that no one dares to touch the Goguryeo tribe. If the northern Yi tribe came to attack, why didn't the Tanma that he sprinkled around not notice it at all?
"The official army treacherously attacked our Goguryeo tribe at night, my tribe was defenseless, resulting in heavy casualties among the troops, and now the leader has retreated to the city with his subordinates, and he has sent a special lowly post to ask the leader to send troops to help."
Hearing the words of the envoy, Wei Qiutai not only did not show indignation, but on the contrary, he laughed twice, his face was full of happy smiles, and secretly said in his heart that Mu Bai deserved it, who let you deal with the officials and soldiers of Youzhou, and it was simply Mu Bai's own fault for such a thing.
Several generals in the military tent are also full of smiles, and the thoughts in their hearts are the same as those of Wei Qiutai, which is called playing with fire**.
"The day before yesterday, I led the army to the Goguryeo tribe for the purpose of uniting the two tribes, and the leader of your department, Mu Bai, actually used a trick to trick me, while sending an envoy to discuss the specific matters of the merger of the two tribes with our department, and dragged my tribe for nearly ten days with some trivial things. On the other hand, it is really hateful to send envoys to contact the officials and soldiers of Youzhou! Wei Qiutai said hatefully, putting all the fault on Mu Bai's body, "If it weren't for the fact that this leader saw the opportunity and quickly led his troops to leave quickly, I am afraid that the 40,000 soldiers of our department and all of them would have become ghosts under the sword of the official army." ”
"Now the official army is attacking the Goguryeo tribe, it is completely Mu Bai's fault, what does it have to do with my husband's Yu tribe. Besides, whether this is a bitter ploy by your tribe and the official army to deliberately lure my tribe to attack, it is still unclear, how can this leader easily send troops. Wei Qiutai snorted lightly, now he has no trust in Mu Bai at all.
The military advisor in the tent heard the words of the enemy, and also nodded, and the Tanma sent to closely observe the Goguryeo tribe has not yet come back to report the news, although what the envoy said is full of emotion, and there is also a body as evidence, but it is indeed a lot more difficult to make the entire Fuyu tribe believe with the words of one person alone.
The military advisor believed that Zhao Yi would definitely be able to come up with such a bitter plan, as long as he could call in 40,000 soldiers from his tribe, Hugh said that shooting an arrow at a person, even if he cut off his arm, as long as he could win the trust of the Fuyu tribe, it would be worth it.
The envoy tried his best to explain that what he said was true, and now that the Goguryeo tribe was in a situation of life and death, the envoy did not dare to delay a little.
But the more eagerly the envoy spoke, the more suspicious Wei Qiutai became of the envoy, and at this time, Tanma, who was probing the movements of Goguryeo and the official army, ran in with a panicked face, and after entering the tent, he bowed down and bowed: "Chief, the ...... of the Goguryeo tribe" When he said this, Tanma saw that there was an outsider in the tent, and closed his mouth in time.
Wei Qiutai didn't care about the presence of the envoy, nor did he let the envoy avoid it, and directly asked the soldier: "Say!" "In the eyes of Wei Qiutai, there is no difference between the envoy of the Goguryeo tribe and the dead, if you are afraid that the messenger will leak secrets, you can kill it with a knife, after the day before yesterday, the Goguryeo tribe with the help of the official and military forces, after shocking the Fuyu tribe, the relationship between the two tribes has no possibility of reconciliation at all, and killing a messenger is really simple for Wei Qiutai.
Tanma got the consent of Wei Qiutai, swallowed his saliva, and said the current situation: "Chief, most of the Goguryeo tribes were killed by the official army, and Mu Bai, who was defeated by the official army, led the remnants of the army to retreat into the city, intending to fight the trapped beasts. ”
Although Wei Qiutai had been mentally prepared just now, his face still changed when he heard that he was exploring the horse again, and it turned out that Wei Qiutai thought that the envoy was trying to deceive his soldiers and horses, and he killed all his troops in front and back with the official army. But now it seems to be true.
When the envoy saw that Tanma had confirmed the news, he exhaled in his heart, so that Wei Qiutai had already confirmed the authenticity of the news. He bowed down again and stood up: "Now that the news has been confirmed, can the leader send soldiers to rescue my tribe?" ”
Wei Qiutai's face changed a few times, and he regained his indifference again: "Let our army send troops to help, is it good for the leader of your department?" ”
Hearing that Wei Qiutai's tone had loosened, the envoy's heart was settled, and what he was afraid of was that Wei Qiutai had no desires and no desires, and it would be much more difficult to negotiate in that way. Since there is a request, it is easy to say. In order to save time, the envoy did not bargain with Wei Qiutai again, and said Mu Bai's conditions as soon as he spoke: "The leader of Mu Bai said that as long as the leader agrees to send troops to help, my Goguryeo tribe will promise to merge into the Fuyu tribe, and from now on there will be no Goguryeo tribe in Liaodong, only one Fuyu tribe." ”
This condition is really good, Mu Bai did not promise much property to the Fuyu tribe, but used his own tribe as a bargaining chip, the people of his tribe are all from the Fuyu tribe, not to mention money.
Hearing the words of this envoy, a hint of intent flashed on Wei Qiutai's face, but he immediately suppressed it: "The matter of the tribe sending troops is very important, please wait for a while in the side tent, how about I discuss it with the tribal general?" ”
Watching the envoy walk out of the military tent, Wei Qiutai glanced at several generals in the tent and asked slowly, "How do the generals think this matter should be handled?" ”
The military advisor took the lead and did not answer Wei Qiutai's words, but called the tanma in again and asked, "Can you find out the number of officers and soldiers besieging the Goguryeo tribe?" ”
"The Youzhou army plus the soldiers and horses of several counties in Liaodong, the number of officers and soldiers is 120,000." The number of officers and soldiers was detailed.
The military advisor waved his hand to let the horse out, bowed down and said to Wei Qiutai: "Chief, there are many officers and soldiers, even if all the soldiers of our department are dispatched, I am afraid that they are not the opponents of Zhao Yi's officers and soldiers." ”
"The military advisor means to make me give up the rescue?" Wei Qiutai frowned, "The situation of the Goguryeo tribe is not much different from the situation in Guangning County in the past, as long as our department breaks through the obstacles of the official army, the crisis of the Goguryeo tribe can be resolved." ”
Wei Qiutai didn't want to miss this good opportunity to subdue the Goguryeo tribe, and it was the ancestral training of the Fuyu tribe to take back the Goguryeo tribe. Now that there is another opportunity in front of him, Wei Qiutai does not want to miss it again.
When the military advisor heard Wei Qiutai's words, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The leader made a mistake. ”
