Chapter 115: Infernal Strategy
At the top of the city, there was a cheer. Then, the sound of bull horns and war drums also sounded, and the sound could still be heard for miles.
The two heralds returned to the camp in disarray, sluping to the bones about what had just happened, and of course, some details were selectively omitted.
"Humph! I said it earlier, it's too much. Now it's a shame to make a profit! ”
Moheda looked at Gu Si with a mocking face.
"You!" Bone slurp almost jumped.
"Alright, alright. Since the Great Khan has ordered this, you and I should obey it. ”
Que Yi is difficult to come out and play a round.
"Shi Guoren does not know the height of the sky and is arrogant. Ambush our army first, and insult our messenger last. Ignoring the good intentions of my Sulu Khan, I would rather destroy the lives of the whole city than accept the hard-won peace. They have long since betrayed the light, betrayed the good gods, wandered in the darkness, and will bring untold calamities to us devout believers. For the sake of the livelihood of the world, I have no choice but to reluctantly accept the will of the messengers of the good gods of light, destroy their bodies, let their souls return to the arms of the good gods, and let them be guided and influenced by the good gods when they are infected with evil. ”
Que Yi Nan read it in one breath like an endorsement, and said: "Come on, issue a notice to the whole army like this!" Add two more, the first to break the city, promote two levels, reward 100 cattle, 1,000 sheep. After the city is broken, the whole army moves freely! ”
Obviously, Que Yi Nanru has already been prepared, and he knows without asking that this is also the will of the Great Khan. Bone slurp pondered secretly. Could this be the Great Khan's trick of turning reactive into proactive? In this way, the battle seems to have become famous, and the Great Khan, as a messenger of light, conveyed the will of the good gods, not only earning enough good fame, but also gaining prestige in the army......
The night finally covered the earth.
Moheda sat in his tent in a daze, playing with a Damascus scimitar that the scouts had captured. thought that everything was under his control, but unexpectedly, he eventually became a pawn of Sulu Khan. Such a result is obviously not what he needs.
Several of his generals stood silently on either side of his head, including Milgeti and Ibiz, who had just suffered defeat.
The atmosphere was oppressive, except for the silence, which was terrifying. knew that Mo Heda was depressed and aggrieved, and no one dared to take the initiative to stir up his flames.
It was Mohe Dagan who broke the embarrassing situation, he looked around at everyone, and said helplessly: "If this continues, we will face a catastrophe, and in a few years, there will be no more brave Mukun tribes on the grassland." You all talk about it, what should I do? ”
Fighting, these people are good at fighting, but when it comes to giving advice, except for Arutun, who is regarded as a coward, everyone else is in a difficult position. At this moment, the brave generals suddenly began to miss Arutun.
Mohedagan looked at his subordinates in disappointment, and the anger that was about to explode burned more and more violently, and it was about to befall everyone.
At critical moments, there is no shortage of unlucky people in this world. The appearance of the generous Mo thief's eyebrows and rat eyes hiding in the corner happened to fall into Mo He Dagan's eyes. Damn it, it's because of this stupid donkey that it made itself break twice in a row and suffered heavy losses.
"You stupid donkey, why are you still alive? Come on, pull me out and cut it down! ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and it was only fitting that generosity was expected to bear this terrible wrath.
"Huh!?"
Dadu Mo exclaimed in inexplicable fear, "Don't, don't kill me!" Mohedagan, let me atone for my sins. Give me 5,000 soldiers, and I will definitely capture the city of Qishi. ”
Two wolf-like guards broke into the big tent, grabbed Dadu Mo and dragged him out.
Mo Heda waved coldly to the guards, and the two guards did not dare to disobey, so they set up Dadu Mo and walked out of the tent.
The unwilling Dadu Mo was like crazy, howling in vain, but no one was willing to stand up for him, and the eyes cast at him were so cold and disdainful.
It didn't take long for a creepy scream to come from outside the tent, and the generals in the tent knew that it was a blood bear and a blood wolf riding to share the flesh and blood of Dadu Mo.
"It's not a pity to be generous and don't die, Mo Hedagan, please calm your anger."
Ibitz knows that he is largely responsible for this fiasco. Since Dadu Mo was dealt with harshly, and Mohe Dagan did not continue to pursue the rest, it means that Mohe Dagan let himself go.
Ibiz stood out confidently and laid out the plan that had been prepared long ago: "The last general has found a counselor, and he has offered three strategies, and the last general does not know whether it is appropriate or not, and wants to sacrifice it to Mohedagan's account." ”
Controlling subordinates requires both grace and power, and rare confusion is an ingenious art, and shrewd people like Mohe Dagan are certainly good at it. Although the successive defeats caused him to lose 5,000 elites, the more extraordinary the period, the more necessary it is to win people's hearts. Wei has already been reflected in Dadu Mo, well, just give it to his cronies Ibiz.
When he heard that Ibiz had found a counselor for him, his interest increased, and he automatically ignored the responsibility for Ibiz's defeat.
"Oh, what's the strategy? Bring him up. ”
After going out for a while, Ibitz brought in a tall Rite. The man was tall, but he had his head down, and he couldn't see his face.
"The slave Kamu has seen the master! The slave is willing to be loyal to her master. ”
As soon as the tall man came in, he quickly knelt on the ground, looking humble.
"Good! Get up and talk back. ”
Mohe Dagan was very satisfied, the person kneeling in front of him knew how to be respectful and humble, and most of the ordinary insidious and vicious people could bend and stretch, and their wisdom was restrained. Mohe Dagan even had a feeling that this person was similar to Que Yinan, and he was exactly the talent he needed.
"I heard that you have three strategies that you want to dedicate to me? Then you can talk about it. If it is good, the reward will never be less than yours. ”
"Yes, yes, slave and maid obey!"
Kamu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and the screams outside the tent were still unstoppable. Just now, those fierce and vicious Turgish people were in his field of vision, cutting the flesh of his former master, Dadu Mo, and eating it, which brought him an unprecedented visual impact, making him tremble and sweat all over. This unique scene made him doubt his expedient choice to join his new master. Yesterday, after the defeat, Gamu guessed the fate of Dadu Mo, but he didn't expect it to be so miserable.
Maybe I shouldn't have gone to Ibiz, maybe it would be safer to stay incognito. But do you have a choice? Horizontal and vertical is death, and in troubled times, there is no safety anywhere. That's it, wealth is in danger, let's gamble once.
Kamu said: "Before offering advice, please allow the slave to talk about your conjectures. ”
Mo Heda nodded quietly: "Say it." ”
"Isn't the master worried about the repetition of the scene at the Fort of Bukhara?"
Kamu said cautiously.
"What do you say? Want to sow discord? ”
Mohedagan's eyes narrowed, and his right hand pressed on the saber at his waist.
Killing, but nodding, no need to threaten. Kamu knew that he had hit the other party's heart and poked at the other party's taboo.
"The slave and maid have spoken in vain. Let's talk about the first strategy first, and take retreat as advance. ”
Ignoring Mohe Dagan's threat and deliberately leaving a suspense, Kamu continued: "Retreat, that is, return to the Broken Leaf River Valley. ”
How can that be? This subordinate must be meticulous and mess with the hearts of our army, please cut it down! ”
A subordinate general appeared in a rage, pointing at Kamu and yelling viciously.
Mo Hedagan couldn't hide the disappointment on his face, and the general's opposition was what he wanted, but it was the general's troubles that he couldn't bear it, and he squeezed out a little patience, and asked in a cold voice: "Retreat?" Do I have a way out? ”
Kamu hurriedly confessed: "Now for the master, the most important thing is strength, without strength, everything is meaningless." The place that can strengthen the master's strength is not here, but to the north, where the master herds sheep and horses. There were soldiers for the master's needs, and plenty of horses, cattle and sheep. As long as the strength is strong, why worry about everything? ”
Seeing Mohedagan meditating, Jiamu knew that he had been moved by his own words, and that he should strike while the iron was hot, and continued: "On this expedition, the master has obtained a lot of wealth, and these riches are just gathering the heroes of the grassland. But the problem is also here, first of all, at present, winter is coming, and if the cattle and sheep harvested by the owner are not rushed back to the territory in time, I am afraid that one or two of the ten will not survive. Secondly, I heard, "At this point, Kamu glanced at Ibiz and said that the rumor had come from him.
"I heard that Sulu Khan has sent tens of thousands of people back to Broken Leaf Town, but they have returned with the harvested cattle and sheep treasures, and the Broken Leaf River Valley, including the surrounding tribes, will definitely go to explore the truth first, and then, if they are caught earlier, it will be too late for the master to go back. Even if the city of beggars is leveled, what is the point?"
While listening to Gamu's analysis, Mohe Dagan was at war with heaven and man, and he couldn't accept it for a while. But what this Kamu said in front of him also makes sense, the north of his territory is Talas, where there is a large grassland desert, raising I don't know how many barbarian savages, and there are countless green-eyed and long-haired people in the west, and in the east, across the lake, there are Turks, Tiele old tribes, Hui and Grolu, as long as there is food and horses, can you still worry about recruiting warriors? It's too late to go back, I'm afraid it's really passive. I can't afford to die with these horse bandits in Shi Guo.
Thinking of this, he slapped his thigh hard and stood up with a resolute look. It seems that he has been blinded by hatred, and he can't see this.
Mohedagan smiled and said to Jiamu, "Then, you say, what should I do next?" ”
Kamu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "The master can send light horsemen to carry all the horses back with gold and silver, and rush ahead of everyone to recruit troops and horses." ”
When I heard that I was going to retreat, the first one I didn't do was Milgeti.
"No, are we just letting go of the Shi people in Begging Shi City? Just let the warriors die in vain? ”
Another stupid donkey with courage and no strategy, Moheda looked contemptuous, he stretched out his hand to stop the thunderous Milgeti, and said: "The matter of snow hatred, there will be opportunities in the future." Now, the most important thing for us is to recover. ”
Moheda is scheming, but he does not lack the courage to be arbitrary. Although he was also very unhappy to let go of the opportunity to set foot in the city of begging history.
"Can't we wait until tomorrow to capture the city of Beggar?"
Milgeti did not give up.
"I don't have to mention the siege again, I have made up my mind." Mo Heda was ruthless, "Don't talk about the time, don't talk about the casualties, the key is the benefits, how much can the benefits be shared?" Can Sulu Khan give us our wishes? ”
There is another layer that Mohe Dagan did not say, that is, the initial reminder of Kamu that if Sulu Khan really has a plot to annex himself, it will be the most terrifying.
Milgeti retreated in a huff.
Seeing that Milgeti was still unconvinced, Mohedagan pointed at him and said, "How many soldiers do you have?" Can you afford it? If you don't go back quickly, the warriors on the grassland will be snatched away by others! ”
"Gamu, what about the second policy?"
Mohedagan ignored the ashamed Milgeti and turned to Gamu.
Gamu was flattered and even more respectful. said: "The second strategy is to buy. ”
"In this campaign, the gains of all departments were uneven. As far as I know, many of the warriors of the tribes were slaves of their generals, and their masters could trade with the generals who were greedy for money, and exchanged gold and silver for the slave warriors and women. In this way, warriors can strengthen their masters, and women can increase the population of the tribe. ”
"Good!" Mohedagan's eyes were shining, this Gamu was really talented.
Gamu began to feel a little proud, and then poured out his third strategy: "The third strategy is to sell." ”
"The slave and maid are bold and advise their master to sell most of the sheep."
Milgeti jumped out again and said excitedly, "No, no. After selling the sheep, what do we eat? Do you eat gold or silver? ”
"That's it!" The rest of the generals followed suit.
Mohedagan was also puzzled, and looked at Gamu expectantly.
"Master," seeing that Mohe Dagan did not blame, Gamu continued, "If the slaves and maids are not mistaken, the things that the various tribes have robbed are nothing more than sheep. We sold our sheep, not for gold, but for cattle, horses, and camels. ”
"Oh?" Mohedagan began to ponder.
Yes! Cattle, horses, and camels could be driven back to their territories quickly, and they could also carry goods and baggage.
"If there are more sheep, they will be relatively low. Moreover, I am afraid that this winter will not be easy, it is better to change to cattle, horses and camels, especially war horses. ”
Gamu continued to add weight to Mohedagan's confidence.
After the plan was finished, Gamu retreated to the side, waiting for Mohedagan's decision.
Mohedagan closed his eyes and was silent for a long time. After a long time, he opened his eyes, but he still did not make a decision. Mohedagan beckoned to Gamu and asked, "If I am passive and sluggish, Sulu Khan may let it go?" ”
Jiamu hurriedly stepped forward, and he had already thought of this question: "Why doesn't the master call him sick?" Then arrange for the weak righteous to go from the captives to perfunctory. As for the withdrawal of the territory, you can send the generals to secretly go back. ”
"Well, good, very good!"
Moheda Gan reflected on Gamu's three strategies, and suddenly, his eyes narrowed. The generals who knew him well knew that Mohedagan had already made up his mind.
"Ibiz!"
"The last general!"
"You are responsible for the execution of the buying and selling policy. As your lieutenant, Gamu acts in tandem. When the matter was done, he led all the cavalry and brought all the horses, cattle and camels back to the territory. ”
Mohedagan decisively gave his first order.
"Milgeti!"
"The last general!"
"I order you to take a thousand horsemen, one man and two horses, and half of the gold, and travel day and night, and immediately sneak back to the territory. With a heavy invitation, attract heroes and warriors from all walks of life in the grassland to vote. Later, we will join Ibiz to continue to expand the recruitment of troops and buy food, in short, the more food for the soldiers, the better. ”
"The last general commands!"
"Humph! I'd like to see how that Que Yi Nanru and that waste bone sip break through the city. ”
After arranging the task, Mo Heda sneered.
At the same time, Que Yi Nanru also made a plan with Gu Si. Both of them laughed at Moheda in their own evil intentions......
