Chapter 448: Going East Can Turn Over the Yalu River 22
There are still ten days left before the Spring Festival. In ten days, it is not an easy task to use 50 million victorious troops to deal with Xiao Gan's 50,000 horses. Although it can be done, if Xiao Gan fights back on the verge of death, Wan Shengjun himself will suffer some losses.
Since it was a war, there would definitely be casualties, and Zhou Nan just hoped that there would be a way to minimize the casualties. For example, still using a hot air balloon to fly to Jizhou and burn down the Jizhou grain depot can also make Xiao Gan's army disheartened, and force Xiao Gan to lead his troops away.
But in that case, Xiao Gan will not be destroyed, and it will always be a trouble. Moreover, if the army of Xi people, who collapsed and was unrestrained because of lack of food, counterattacked towards Sanhe and Xianghe, where Wansheng's army was located, if Wansheng's army retreated, the people in the city would be harassed. If the Wansheng army fights, there will be casualties. So Zhou Nan couldn't make up his mind.
With Yelu Aguzhe, Zhou Nan wanted to re-examine it, so Zhou Nan took Yelu Aguzhe to his residence and talked with Yelu Aguzhe with Yang Keshi and others.
Agu Zhe told the truth of the matter, Zhou Nan, Yang Keshi and others knew that Agu Zhe defected to Wansheng Army, not just because of the lack of grain and grass, but because the eight catties of room B killed Agu Zhe's people and robbed Agu Zhe's grain and grass, and Xiao Gan abandoned Ah Gu Zhe when Ah Gu Zhe's grain and grass were destroyed. This chilled the hearts of Agu Zhe and his subordinates, and decided to leave Xiao Gan.
"The horse, the Mei tribe is willing to saddle the horse and the Wansheng army before and after the horse, I just ask the horse to be lenient with the Mei tribe, so that the Mei tribe can continue to live here. Mei is willing to be a slave for a few generations. Seeing that Zhou Nan was sincere to him, Agu Zhe exceeded his expectations, and he was even more willing to hug Zhou Nan's thigh.
"General Yelu said seriously, as long as he is not an enemy of the imperial court, the imperial court will naturally not treat Mei Zhibu badly; I heard that there are five tribes of your Xi tribe, and I can tell General Yelu now that not only the Mei tribe, but also the rest of the tribes, if there are those who are willing to break away from Xiao Gan and join the imperial court, I can assure General Yelu that the imperial court will treat all the tribes kindly, regardless of past suspicions. But if he is determined to be the enemy of the imperial army, he will definitely regret it! Zhou Nanlian said to Yelu Aguzhe with coaxing.
Yelu Aguzhe sighed and said, "I don't know anything, my Xi tribe has never liked to kill and fight, I just want to have a homeland that can allow my Xi people to live in peace." The Xi people also learned from the Han people to manage the land, and they were also able to herd and hunt, and it was also passed down from generation to generation to make Xi cars and boats, and they would play the Xi qin and dance for fun in their spare time. The five clans are originally of the same root, and they have been together for hundreds of years, and there has never been infighting. This time, Xiao Gan provoked a bloody storm with his own selfish desires, except for Xiao Gan's Bird Department, as well as the Ori Department where his nephew was located in the Eight Jin Division, the rest of the Chu Li Department, the Yao Li Department, and my Mei Department were unwilling to send troops. Because we know that the Xi people are not as good as the Uighurs, the Khitans, or the Jurchens, and they do not have the financial and human resources to build a country, so it is better to honestly attach themselves to a country and live their own peaceful life. ”
Zhou Nan looked at Yelu Agu Zhe and said, "Then the people of the Chuli Department and the Yaoli Department are willing to break away from Xiao Gan?" ”
"Back to the horses, the people of these two departments are the same as my Mei only department, they were all coerced by Xiao Gan and B Room Bajin, this winter is unusually cold, and the clan has long lacked food and clothing, but Xiao Gan has made all the young and strong people in the clan into soldiers and horses, and pulled them out, who is not worried about the rest of the clan now? It's just that he was forced by the intimidation of Xiao Gan and B Room Bajin and didn't dare to resist. ”
"I have a plan, in addition to Xiao Gan and the eight catties in the second room, I can let you go home early. When I clear Xiao Gan and the eight catties of the second room, as long as your Xi people return to the imperial court, I will return your Xi people to a peaceful life, so that you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future, and you will not be bullied. ”
"I wonder what the colt has planned? I, Aguzhe, would like to assist the colt with all my heart! When Agu Zhe heard that he could get rid of the two scourges of Xiao Gan and Yi Room Eight Jin, and he could live a peaceful life in the future, he immediately asked.
"This plan still requires your General Yelu to help secretly." Zhou Nan said to Agu Zhe, "If it goes well, before the Spring Festival, you can go home for the New Year." ”
"The horse has an order, and Agu Zhe is also in heaven and earth!" Agu Zhe stood up and said to Zhou Nanshi.
Zhou Nan saw that Agu Zhe happily agreed, so he explained his plan, and finally said, "General Yelu will lead the troops back to the city with grain and grass, and I will send you a few people here to help your people act according to the plan." If anything, you can send me a letter through them. ”
Zhou Nan said and said to Zuo Xiaosi, "Take your people, go back with General Yelu, and divide the troops into two ways, that is, act early!" ”
Yelu Aguzhe and Zuo Xiaosi said goodbye to Zhou Nan together, brought grain and grass, and went back to Anci City.
After Zuo Xiaosi and the others left, Yang Keshi asked suspiciously, "With these alone, can you get rid of Xiao Gan?" ”
Zhou Nan replied with a smile: "If people's hearts are lost, what else can he do?" Besides, these Xi people are being held outside, and they don't know what the situation is in the tribe, and they don't want to fight for a long time. People's hearts are lost and chaotic, and with Agu Zhe helping them, only Xiao Gan and Yi Room Bajin are left, what else is there to worry about? ”
Yang Keshi lowered his head and thought for a while, and couldn't help but praise, "Da Lang, after you said this, Xiao Gan's 50,000 horses are like a chicken and a dog, so if Xiao Gan knew that you calculated him like this, I am afraid that he would have fled long ago, where would he dare to do any emperor dream?" ”
"I just hope that this matter can be ended as soon as possible, so that I can go back to the cottage and spend the New Year with peace of mind." Zhou Nan sat on the stool and said yearningly, when he turned around and saw that Zhou Fu was still by his side, he said to Zhou Fu, "Jizhou is going to look at you, if you can't burn all the Jizhou grain depots, I miss a big event, I can't go back to the cottage for the New Year, and your sister Yun can't spare you." ”
Zhou Fu had long been accustomed to Zhou Nan's joking tone, so he just replied, "Don't worry, Da Lang, after Anci burned the grain depot, I will send someone to prepare in advance." ”
Yang Keshi also said: "Brother Fu, you can rest assured when you do things, otherwise why did the little lady of the Gao family choose Brother Fu alone to protect you?" ”
Speaking of Gao Yun, Yang Keshi shook his head again and sighed, "Alas, we went back to the cottage for the New Year, Dalang, you went back to the cottage to pass the test!" ”
Zhou Nan pouted, "You celebrate the New Year, why do I have to pass the customs?" ”
"Da Lang, you're still too young!" Yang Keshi's face was old-fashioned. "I think back then, I just took a concubine, your sister-in-law didn't say it, and she went behind her back for more than half a year, but it didn't make me suffer less! In the end, I reluctantly gave away my concubine, and then I was born. Where are ...... women?"
Yang Keshi first took his "unfortunate" life experience and set an example, and then said, "If you go back to the cottage, the little lady of the Gao family celebrates the New Year in the south cottage, and the princess celebrates the New Year in the north cottage, you say, where did you spend it?" ”
Seeing Zhou Nan's brows furrowed, Yang Keshi asked again, "Hugh said that you want to face the south for a day and the north for a day, and my brother wants to see where you spend Chinese New Year's Eve!" After speaking, he looked proud, as if he couldn't keep that little concubine back then, and seemed to be very happy to have Zhou Nan and his own illness in this matter.
Zhou Nan was stunned for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "Then I'll set up a tent in the middle of the north and south cottages for the New Year." "I like Song Chungui, please collect x Song Chungui.
