Chapter 353: A Bold Decision
Chao Gai nodded and said, "Yes, there is no need to worry, the elite five hundred of the Bian Xiang brothers' mountain battalion, as well as the 1,500 infantry hidden in the industrial park, iron mine, coal mine, and horse farm, plus the five hundred people sent over this time." There are also Bian Xiang, Luda, Xie Zhen, and Xie Bao guarding Jingcheng County together, which can be guaranteed to be foolproof. ”
Chao Gai originally planned to take Gongsun Sheng to the south of Black Dragon Island to take a look, but Liu Tang sent someone to find it, saying that Black Dragon City had sent someone over. Chao Gai had no choice but to return to the fierce bull grassland with Gongsun Sheng.
Fierce Bull Grassland, the camp of the Chinese army.
Chao Gai sat in the center, next to the military advisor Gongsun Shengxian Fengdao Gu, Liu Tang and other generals lined up on both sides.
The black eagle's dripping eyes rolled, and he looked at Gongsun Sheng, and then at Tang Bin and Hao Siwen, the three faces.
Chao Gai didn't hide it, and said: "Black Army Division, I haven't seen you for a few days, how can I remember to come over as a guest." I'm a new military advisor, two generals. This Gongsun Shengjun has unpredictable abilities, comparable to Zhuge Liang back then. This is Tang Bin, like Pang Wanchun, with outstanding arrows. This is Hao Siwen, who is skilled in arching horses. ”
The black eagle said hello one by one, and after the politeness, Chao Gai asked the black eagle to bring a chair, and Gongsun Sheng shook the dust and said, "I'm afraid there is something wrong with the black military division here." ”
The black eagle said: "If you have nothing to do, you will not be able to come to the Three Treasures Palace, and I will naturally not be able to come if you have nothing to do." Now it's the beginning of July, don't look at the climate is still very hot, but at most a month, the weather suddenly becomes cold after August 15, the goose feather snow flies as soon as the port is frozen, and it is difficult to go to sea again. Why don't we take advantage of the good weather now, cross the sea, and go to rob the horse farm of Dajin Country. ”
Gongsun Sheng said: "But there is a map of the Jinguo Horse Farm, how many horses and how many troops?" If these are not clear, it is more auspicious to rush to the army. ”
The black eagle seemed to be prepared, took out a sheepskin map from his pocket, pointed it and said: "This is Heilong Island, this is the estuary of the Heilongjiang River, it is only two hundred miles up the river along the Heilongjiang River, where the grassland is fertile, and it is the military horse farm of the Jin Kingdom." There are two large horse farms, one in the south is called Ulara Racecourse and the other in the north is called Uluru Racecourse. Each has 10,000 war horses, and it is worth mentioning that these war horses are all medium-sized horses, and the tall horses weigh thousands of pounds, which are much larger than ordinary grassland horses. As for the ordinary steppe horses, they were mainly in the hands of the nobles of the Jin Kingdom, and the number was too numerous to count. ”
Liu Tang said: "You black eagle, when someone else is a child, 20,000 medium-sized horses?" Even if one of the two horses is selected as the Tiefutu military horse, wouldn't the Jin State be able to form a Tiefutu team of more than 10,000 people, with 20,000 kidnapping horses, then it would be as easy to destroy the Liao State as it was to explore the bag and take things. ”
Although Chao Gai did not change in the slightest on the surface, in fact, he was very excited in his heart, and the Jin Kingdom relied on the cooperation of Tiefutu and the kidnapping horse, and tens of thousands of cavalry just took Tokyo Kaifeng, and took the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty Lao'er in a nest, and robbed the savings of the Northern Song Dynasty for a hundred years, which is the famous Jingkang shame. This is a shame that every Song person can't erase, although the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is extravagant, mediocre and incompetent, but after all, he is still the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, even if he wants to clean up the portal, it should be cleaned up by the Great Song people themselves, and there is no need for a group of Jin people who can only graze cattle and horses to meddle in their affairs.
The black eagle smiled: "These are just two horse farms, there is also a horse farm in the Huanglong Mansion of the Jin Kingdom, and the Jin Kingdom has at least four to fifty thousand medium-sized horses, as for why the people of the Jin Kingdom do not assemble more Iron Futu, the reason is very simple, because they do not have such armor, the people of the Jin Kingdom will herd sheep and herdsmen, and it is useless when it comes to striking iron and making armor." However, with the expansion of the territory of the Jin State to the south, the Jin State will get iron mines and more blacksmiths from the Liao State, and at that time the iron cavalry of the Jin State will appear, not only the problem of destroying the Liao State, I am afraid that it is not impossible for them to wave their troops to the south and drink the Yangtze River. ”
The generals here know too well what virtues the Song army has, and if there are really 40,000 or 50,000 Tiefutu and more than 100,000 light cavalry, it is only a matter of time before the Jin army goes all the way south and drinks the Yangtze River. But you can't lose your momentum, thinking of this, Chao Gai said: "Alarmist, my Great Song Dynasty has thousands of soldiers and strong cities, why not be afraid of the Tiefutu, don't take the topic away, let's talk about how many defenders there are in these two horse farms in the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River." ”
The black eagle smiled and said: "The Jin Kingdom has been peaceful in the south, so I am used to arrogance, and there are only five hundred defenders in one horse farm." We only need to bring 3,000 cavalry each, and we can smoothly snatch back the enemy's military horses. ”
Chao Gai said: "The stakes are very high, you leave the map, go back to the tent to rest, we will discuss it, and give you an answer tomorrow." ”
The black eagle left the map and went back to rest, and Chao Gai asked everyone, "What do you think the black eagle is thinking?" ”
Li Kui said: "Although I don't know what the black eagle is thinking, I know that it is difficult to tolerate two donkeys in a circle, and this black eagle must be bubbling with bad water." ”
"What Li Kui said makes sense, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. With the current strength of Black Dragon City, it is difficult to deal with us, I guess they want to ask us to go together to grab the war horses of the Jin people, and then use the Jin people to destroy us, the Jin people must have some forces to arrange this black eagle did not say. Gongsun Shengdao.
Chao Gai thought so, but this Jin country is indeed a big enemy in the future, although he doesn't have the strength to fight hard now, it's still very good to be able to give him a bite behind his back.
Chao Gai asked, "Has Chao Wei arrived?" ”
The herald came in and said, "Just arrived, please come in." ”
Chao Wei was dressed like a savage, with a few cow belts on his upper body and a simple vest and a pair of leather boots under his feet.
Chao Gai said: "I've worked hard for you, I'm tired all the way." ”
Chao Wei said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that the road is unfamiliar, and I strayed into the dense forest and encountered wolves and lost several brothers." finally fulfilled the mission and investigated the matter of the Golden Racecourse clearly. ”
In fact, whether it is the Jin State or the Liao State, they are not a nation, such as the Jin State, the Jurchens only account for a small part, and most of them are Han, Mongols, Khitans, and so on. Chao Wei has brought hundreds of people into the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom in recent years, and has been active in the Changbai Mountain and Xiaoxing'an Mountains, buying ginseng, mink, and deer antler velvet as a business, and at the same time is also a military spy to explore intelligence. As early as when developing Heilong Island, Chao Gai contacted Chao Wei and asked him to take people to the lower reaches of Heilongjiang to explore, which was too close to Heilong Island, and he would rashly occupy Heilong Island without investigating the arrangement of Jin's troops, in case the Jinguo people pounced on Heilong Island, it would be troublesome.
Chao Wei took out a detailed map, and the thin sheepskin map was presented in front of Chao Gai with both hands.
"Fortunately, this is the geographical map and troop division map near the military horse farm to be investigated, for this map, five brothers have been sacrificed before and after, all of whom are good brothers in our Yuncheng." Chao Wei said.
"This is bloody intelligence, the blood of all the sacrificed brothers will not be shed in vain, and they will build a clothed mound in Yuncheng and enjoy eternal admiration." Chao Gai said.
Chao Wei said: "It's enough to have a brother. ”
Everyone spread out the map and studied it in detail, and along the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River, there were indeed two large military horse farms with tens of thousands of medium-sized horses.
Yuan Lang, Tang Bin, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng and other cavalry generals seemed to see a huge blood-spurting cake, Yuan Lang said: "This kind of high-headed horse with strong load-bearing capacity can't be bought with money, if this battle is successful, our strength will be increased by at least two times, and then don't say that it is Zengtou City, even Gao Yu doesn't dare to look at our Jeju regimental training." ”
Everyone studied the map, coupled with Chao Wei's narration, and finally understood where the trap of the black eagle was.
The next day, after breakfast, the generals in the army gathered and called the black eagle.
Chao Gai said: "We discussed it for a while, but we still couldn't let go of the tall horse. It's just that how to play, how to divide the spoils, this question has to be clarified. ”
The black eagle said: "The relationship between our two families is not harmonious, although we will temporarily abandon hostility for the sake of common interests, but it is easy to be distracted when fighting, so it is better for us to act separately." There are two horse farms in total, we play the Uluru Racecourse in the north, and you play the Ulala Racecourse in the south, how about it? ”
Chao Gai turned his head and asked Gongsun Sheng, "What does the military advisor think?" ”
Gongsun Sheng said: "Let me pinch my fingers." ”
After that, Gongsun Sheng took out two turtle shells, read words in his mouth, counted for a long time, and said to Chao Gai: "This trip is auspicious, and it will be successful." The day after tomorrow is an auspicious day, and the dispatch of troops will be successful. ”
Chao Gai said: "Okay, just listen to the military advisor." Black eagle, how about sending troops the day after tomorrow? ”
"I'll go back and tell the city lord, if I can send someone over tomorrow, when the time comes, let's send our own troops, act separately, retreat immediately after we finish, don't let the Jin soldiers entangle." The black eagle said.
The black eagle immediately returned, and quickly sent someone back to make an appointment for the troops.
At noon on the third day, Chao Gai gathered Liu Tang, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, and Yuan Lang, a total of 4,000 cavalry, plus Chao Gai's guard of 100 people. Chao Gai served as the commander-in-chief, and Gongsun was qualified as the military advisor.
Pang Wanchun, Li Kui, and Tang Bin stayed behind to take charge of the safety of the fierce cattle grassland, and Li Kui was unhappy and muttered vigorously.
"Brother, why don't you let us go over." Li Kui said.
Chao Gai said: "This time it was a blitzkrieg, fight quickly and retreat, your battalion is not good at equestrianism, and it will affect the march of the team in the past." Besides, Black Dragon City will not send all its troops over, it is difficult to say that they will not take the opportunity to sneak attack, you are staying to deter Black Dragon City. Pang Wanchun is the commander-in-chief, responsible for coordinating the whole army, you have to listen to him. ”
Li Kui scratched his head and said, "Okay, I must have listened to him, I can't beat him, and the arrow is still powerful." ”
For this dispatch, a large number of naval warships were also transferred, and there were also more than 50 merchant ships of flying birds. As for the ships in Black Dragon City, there are even more, they have deployed almost five hundred fishing boats, and Black Dragon City is mainly fishing and hunting, so there are many fishing boats.
