Chapter 696: Huang Taiji's plan
The vast conjecture made Mao Wenlongmao pause, and it was indeed very likely that Huang Taiji would temporarily forbear, and then use the subordinates hidden among the herdsmen to still achieve his goal of ruling the Jin Kingdom.
The enemy in the open, Mao Wenlong didn't feel how terrible, but the enemy in the dark, you have to be vigilant at all times. If Huang Taiji really has such a plan, this also means that Mao Wenlong's challenge has really begun.
Faced with problems that may arise at any time, Mao Wenlong became more and more depressed, and there was no way to find these Huang Taiji's subordinates hidden in the dark. If you want to eradicate it, the most direct way is to guard everyone up, or kill them all?
But it is absolutely impossible to do this, killing hundreds of thousands of lives at once, Mao Wenlong has not yet reached such a brutal point. Without the existence of herdsmen, wouldn't it be a waste of work to work the vast territory that has been worked so hard to win?
Mao Wenlong, who was becoming more and more depressed, looked at Haoda and said: "Tell me how you are going to lure the snake out of the hole, Huang Taiji can't spare him this time!" ”
Huang Taiji's cunning obviously made Mao Wenlong more aware of the danger, if he couldn't get rid of him, it is estimated that he would not be able to feel at ease in the future. In addition, now that turmoil has begun in the south, the Japanese at sea are ready to move, and they may attack on a large scale at any time. These things have caused Mao Wenlong to be unable to stay on the grassland for a long time, and he must solve the matter here as soon as possible, and then lead the army back to help.
The vast and small were excited, after all, there were almost no people like him who could have the opportunity to give advice to Mao Wenlong. He couldn't help but be excited, and he hurriedly said: "Chief soldier, my subordinates feel that we should also send some masters to lurk and keep an eye on them in the dark." Without alarming these herdsmen, secretly looking for those people who were lurking in Huang Taiji......"
Mao Wenlong pondered for a moment, then suddenly nodded and said, "It makes sense." ”
Throwing down these words, Mao Wenlong immediately turned around and returned to the big tent, called Chengzuo and Chen Jisheng again, and conspired with them for most of the night. It wasn't until dawn that the three of them dispersed.
After that, the next few days were quiet, but more than 1,000 people in the Dongjiang Army quietly disappeared into the light, and after disguise, they had already blended into the living quarters of 500,000 herdsmen captives.
And in order not to attract the attention of Huang Taiji, Mao Wenlong did not stop outside to continue looking for Huang Taiji's soldiers and horses.
Huang Taiji never expected that his plan had been understood by Mao Wenlong, and he was still proud of his cleverness at the moment. Since he fled the grassland, he has been hiding all the way to the border of Xianbei, a barren mountain hideout he had prepared in the morning.
It was a vast stockpile of supplies, which had been used in preparation for the attack on Xianbei, but now became an excellent hiding place for him. There were only more than 10,000 subordinates who followed Huang Taiji, and the rest were ordered by him to pretend to surrender and mingle with the captured herdsmen, trying to make a comeback one day and renegotiate with Mao Wenlong.
"Agulie, is there any news from the grassland today?" Early in the morning, Huang Taiji just got up and immediately asked the deputy general beside him.
Although Huang Taiji prides himself on being smart, he has always been worried that the plan will be discovered by Mao Wenlong, so it is not very comfortable to stay here every day. When I wake up every day, the thing I have to ask is the situation on the grassland.
Agulie was obviously accustomed to Huang Taiji's questioning, and he immediately bowed his hand and said, "Great Khan, everything is normal on the grassland side, and Mao Wenlong and they didn't have any abnormal behavior. Moreover, the news that had just arrived in the morning that our people over there had begun to come into contact with the elders of several tribes, who had promised to do as the Great Khan had told. ”
After hearing this, a smile finally appeared on Huang Taiji's face: "Hahaha, not bad, not bad!" But you can't take it lightly, the strength of the Dongjiang Army is strong, and any mistake may make us lose again. You have remembered to Ben Khan that if something goes wrong this time, he will not be spared. ”
Agulie's heart trembled slightly, and he quickly nodded yes. Huang Taiji saw Agulie's frightened expression, and then comforted with satisfaction: "Of course, if this plan can be successful, your merits will not be forgotten by the Great Khan in the future." ”
Agulie was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him again. Huang Taiji waved his hand and said, "Has the messenger sent to deliver a letter to King Xianbei come back?" ”
"Great Khan, they haven't come back yet, but there is news to send them back." After speaking, Agulie immediately took out an unopened envelope from his bosom.
Huang Taiji grabbed it directly, hurriedly opened it and looked at it. After a while, he frowned and said angrily, "Damn King Xianbei actually dares not to cooperate with us!" ”
Agulie hesitated for a moment before cautiously asking, "Great Khan, has King Xianbei rejected our request?" ”
Huang Taiji still said angrily: "It seems that this Xianbei King still needs to be intimidated and intimidated, otherwise he will not obediently obey us." ”
After Huang Taiji hid safely, he immediately sent an envoy to win over the Xianbei King, trying to persuade him to join the camp of the Jin soldiers and fight against the Dongjiang army together. For this reason, in the letter to King Xianbei, Huang Taiji did not hesitate to boast about the Dongjiang Army, and finally did not forget to warn King Xianbei, saying that once the grassland was swallowed by Mao Wenlong, then the next thing would be Xianbei.
Originally, this was a sure thing, but Huang Taiji never thought that King Xianbei would refuse in one go? This made Huang Taiji for some reason for a while, quite confused. The fact that his lips were cold was already in front of him, and he was convinced that King Xianbei also clearly understood, but he made such a decision?
After Huang Taiji thought about it for a while, he felt that there must be something inside that he didn't know yet? Therefore, Huang Taiji immediately instructed Agulie to send someone to inform the envoys immediately, and asked them to find out the reason.
Three days later, Huang Taiji received another letter, and he learned. As early as a few months ago, the island of Jeju was flattened by the Donggang Navy. The Japanese who had occupied Jeju Island were all pacified by the navy of the Donggang Army. It is precisely for this reason that King Xianbei did not dare to confront the Dongjiang Army at all, and it was reasonable to refuse Huang Taiji's request.
And Huang Taiji is not willing to give up like this, King Xianbei is afraid of the Dongjiang Army, and he will also be afraid of the sons of the grassland, Huang Taiji decided to use force against Xianbei and fight a blitzkrieg to deter King Xianbei.
With more than 10,000 elite subordinates currently in Huang Taiji's hands, it is completely easy and quick to take down two or three border cities in Xianbei Kingdom. Therefore, Huang Taiji did not think too much about it, and ordered the whole army to be ready to go on the same day.
