Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Stratagem of the Son
In the middle of Wushan, in a hidden ravine, Jiuhuang ordered all the troops behind him to stop and rest here.
And she herself walked to a small peak in Wushan, stood on top of the mountain with her hands in her hands, and looked down on the city not far from the mountain.
Paz, the border of Batu is not very large, but it is also an important line of defense at the junction of Batu and the Celestial Empire. The desert in the north, Jingzhou in the west, Wushan in the south, the terrain is relatively flat at the foot of Wushan, this Batu border is close to the city of the Celestial Empire, and the king of Batu sent thousands of Batu soldiers to garrison here.
I don't know when she walked to Jiuhuang's side, but after she looked at the city at the foot of the mountain, she immediately looked at Jiuhuang and asked, "County Lord, we have an army of 30,000, and it is impossible to pass through Paz without attracting the attention of the Batu soldiers." ”
Jiuhuang's eyes were misty, as if he hadn't heard the words of **, and continued to look at the city at the foot of the mountain.
It wasn't until a long time later that Jiuhuang turned back to his body, glanced at the ** around him, and slowly opened his mouth while walking back, saying: "Although Paz is only a small city in Batu, this is an important line of defense on the border between Batu and the Celestial Empire after all. ”
**Hearing this, I also know that what Jiuhuang said is the truth, and Paz is indeed an important city in Batu.
"It's just that we are going to the capital city of Batu this time, and Paz is our must pass, so do we need to fight the Batu army in Patu City?"
When Jiuhuang heard the words, he shook his head and said: "You can't fight with them head-on, it's only two days before Jingzhou is here, if something happens in Paz City, the Batu army stationed in Jingzhou will find out." ”
"How can we get through the city of Paz without being discovered by the Batuu army?" **Asked after Jiuhuang's words.
While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the place where the army was resting.
Then Jiuhuang said to **: "Take out the topography map in Batu and take a look." ”
After the words fell, I saw ** take out a yellowed sheepskin scroll from his arms, and then open it and spread it on the ground.
Jiuhuang squatted down his body, looked at the topography map on the ground that had been opened and spread on the ground, looked at their current location, and the geographical location of Path, and wanted to find a way not to alarm the Batu army in Path City.
However, after surveying the terrain map, Jiuhuang still failed to come up with a good way to get the army to pass through Path City smoothly.
"Send a soldier dressed as a homeless person to the outside of the city of Path to inquire about the movement at the gate of the city of Pass."
Jiuhuang's words suddenly sounded in his ears, ** heard the words and immediately ordered the soldiers, and then explained Jiuhuang's words to the soldiers, the soldiers immediately prepared and set off to walk down the mountain.
Explain the words of Jiuhuang, ** walked to Jiuhuang's side again who was still studying the terrain map, and suddenly**'s eyes lit up, as if he had thought of a good way. Then I only heard her say to Jiuhuang: "Maybe we can dress up the army in batches as a team of merchants?" ”
As soon as the words of ** fell, Jiuhuang refused loudly: "It is indeed a good way to dress up as a businessman, but the Celestial Empire and Batu are also very different in physique, if you want to dress up as a businessman in batches to get through the customs, it seems that it is impossible at all." ”
Jiuhuang's words were like a basin of cold who poured on the heart of **, extinguishing the emotions that had just come up in her heart. Immediately, he looked at Jiuhuang and couldn't help asking, "Then what are we going to do?"
Hearing this, Jiuhuang did not immediately answer**, her eyes thoughtfully glanced at the army that was in Hutun, and then turned around to look at **, and said: "The first city of Batu is still far from Path, we must hurry up and arrive at the first city of Batu, otherwise when the Batu army in Jingzhou is all attacking the city, and the reinforcements have not arrived, then we will be attacked by the enemy at all, not only did we not let Batu be in a dilemma, but sent ourselves to Batu in vain." ”
Seeing that there was no good way, ** couldn't help but speak up, and said: "Let's wait for the news of the soldiers sent to inquire back before we discuss, if it doesn't work, we will attack the city directly." ”
"Now almost all of Batu's troops are in Jingzhou, and Paz is only a few thousand people."
Indeed, it is not yet clear what the situation is in Pass, and the soldiers sent out to investigate have not yet returned, and they can only make their next plans after the soldiers return to report.
After thinking about it, he stopped talking, but quietly looked at the map!
Yuzhou military camp!
Mu Kun listened to what the scout under his hand said, although he was excited, he was still quite calm, thinking that there must be something wrong with this matter.
He then looked at the scout and asked, "How did you hear about this?"
How did the princess and the prince of Bath appear in Jingzhou? When marching to war, although Bass did not understand that he could not take his wife and children with him on the march, did he not even understand which generals around him?
Or even if the princess of Bath came to Jingzhou with her son, why did the soldiers who had been sent to inquire about the military situation of Batu's army in Jingzhou not mention it?
When the scout heard Mu Kun's question, he then carefully turned to Mu Kun how he learned about it, and said: "When the last general inquired outside the city to find out if there was an ambush by the enemy, he didn't want to meet the lieutenant general next to Bach, the eldest prince of Batu, it turned out that in Batu, King Batu had several princes, all of whom were competing with each other for the succession of the next king of Batu, and among all the princes of King Batu, the eldest prince Bach and the youngest prince Bath were the most qualified."
"The eldest prince is the prince and the eldest son of King Batu, and his mother is the princess of a small tribe in Batu; The little prince Bas has always been favored by King Batu, although his mother is a maid next to the mother of the eldest prince Bach, but he has always been regarded as a treasure by King Batu, and has been recognized by the royal family of Batu. ”
So the two have been fighting openly and secretly in Batu, and each side has its own forces. Now the two have come to Jingzhou, and they are constantly fighting in the army, and now Bass is imprisoning Bach in the barracks and not allowing him to participate in all military affairs. ”
"And it was precisely because of this incident that Bach, who had been forbearing, decided to make a move, so he sent his henchman lieutenant to reveal the news to the last general."
After the scout finished speaking, he raised his head and peeked at Mu Kun.
Seeing that Mu Kun fell into deep thought after listening to his words, the scout didn't dare to interrupt Mu Kun out of voice, he was a little apprehensive in his heart at this time, he thought that after getting this news, it would be a news that would allow him to make military merits and be promoted, but he didn't expect...
After a while, Mu Kun retracted his thoughts, glanced at the generals in the discussion, and said loudly: "Everyone here, what do you think of this matter?" Can it be trusted? ”
When everyone heard this, no one opened their mouth to express their opinions, but after Qin Jue glanced at everyone, and saw that no one made a sound, he said: "This matter would rather be believed than not believed." ”
Mu Kun was puzzled by Qin Jue's words, did Qin Jue mean to believe the words of Bach's lieutenant?
But Mu Kun, who has always been in the army and has participated in countless wars, knows that this may just be a counter-plot of Bass, and it may not be a trap for Bass. So after hearing your huge words, Mu Kun asked, "What does the ruthless son mean by this?" ”
Qin Jue himself was born in the rivers and lakes, even if he has lived in seclusion in the ink bamboo forest for many years, but he asks about the world, but for Mu Kun to ask the deep meaning of this, Qin Jue, as an old Jianghu, still knows.
And he knows that Mu Qi is above the position of general, and what you have to think about is not only to be worthy of the imperial court, but also to be worthy of the army that followed him into the birth and death. Therefore, Qin was not angry at Mu Kun's words, but explained to Mu Kun with great patience: "Bach may have thought too highly of himself, or underestimated the Celestial Empire, thinking that he could kill Bas with the help of the Celestial Empire, and he could naturally sit in the position of the next Batu king's heir; And in the end, when we took the lives of Princess Bass and his son to blackmail Bass to compromise, the first thing he had to deal with with was our Celestial Empire. ”
After Mu Kun's words fell, he savored the deep meaning, and then Mu Kun suddenly realized: "Buzz wants to borrow our hands to kill people." ”
After Mu Kun wanted to get over the pain, he couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart, he Bach really looked up to himself.
Then Mu Kun said to the scout: "This matter is over, you go down first." ”
When the scout heard Mu Kun's words, a trace of coolness flashed in his heart, but he was even more dissatisfied with Qin in his heart, and his eyes were full of anger when he turned to leave.
After the scout left, Mu Kun made an understanding judgment on this matter, and said: "Then this matter will be done first, we will definitely not become a killer weapon in the infighting between Bach and Bass." ”
"I think the general can actually consider this news and use Bass's wife and children to make a fuss."
Qin Jue's sudden words made Mu Kun stunned, didn't he just say that it was Bach's conspiracy? How do you allow yourself to do this now?
"What do you mean by this?"
Seeing that Mu Kun still didn't understand, Qin Jue explained: "Carpenter Jun can shoot a person with good martial arts skills to sneak into Jingzhou to investigate the truth of the words, if it is true, then bring Bass's wife and children to the military camp together, and when Bass brings the army to attack the city, we have an extra layer of protection to protect Yuzhou; When the time comes, if Bath wants to save his wife and children, he will definitely obey us, and he will not dare to attack the city, and Bach will certainly not agree to Bath's approach; According to the situation that the two of them have been fighting, the two of them will already start fighting without us having to do it ourselves, and we don't have to spend a single soldier. ”
After Qin Jue's explanation, Mu Kun thought about it for a while, felt that Qin Jue's words were very reasonable, and glanced at Qin Jue gratefully in his heart.
