After Mao Wenlong took two thousand elite horsemen to solve the Jianzhou tribes, although he had the escape routes of several other Jianzhou tribesmen, he did not immediately pursue them.

He stared at the routes for a long time, as if he had seen something.

"Most of the people we killed just now seem to be young men, women and boys, and they don't seem to see the old and weak?"

Mao Wenlong consulted his subordinates.

Everyone looked at each other, and some people ran back to see the corpses, as well as a group of captives who were imprisoned, and then gave Mao Wenlong a very positive answer: "Indeed, I didn't find any old and weak, mostly women, then children, and the least young men." ”

"For this kind of tribe, it is generally the noble and the strong and the lowly old, the gold and the expensive are young and strong men and women, and the old are burdensome, if you want to say that the detachment is moving, it should be a mixture of the old and the weak and the young, how can they all be young and strong, and there is no old and weak? Doesn't it mean that there is no old and weak in the entire Jianzhou? ”

After Mao Wenlong raised such doubts, his subordinates also reacted one after another, feeling that what Mao Wenlong said was reasonable.

"Nuer Hachi knows that the strength is not as good as ours, if you want to survive, escape is certain, how to escape has to talk about a rule, the speed of the young and strong is fast, the old and weak are not only slow, but also useless, it is most likely to be abandoned by these tribes, this road is all young and strong, there is no old and weak, is it said that they are young and strong and old and weak to migrate separately?"

Mao Wenlong said such an analysis again, and his subordinates were stunned for a while, and they couldn't catch up with his thinking at all.

But Mao Wenlong is still analyzing.

"If you want to preserve the tribe, it is natural to first save the young men who can work and the young women who can give birth, and then the children, the old and weak are the first to be abandoned, most of the young and strong men in Jianzhou have gone to war, and a small number of them are here, and the young and strong women are the first to save the fertility population.

This part of the people was taken to Changbai Mountain, and the person from Heishui said that the other part of the people went to the east, and it didn't seem to be going to the direction of Changbai Mountain, could it be that the young and strong went to Changbai Mountain, and the old, weak, sick and disabled all went to the east? What does Qingzhuang want to do when he goes to Changbai Mountain?

The ancients said, sit and eat the mountain empty, although the mountain is tall and big, there are not many things to eat, not to mention hundreds of thousands of people, a mountain is not able to live, young and strong all run to Changbai Mountain, that is not self-defeating? What are their intentions? ”

Mao Wenlong's thoughts flew farther and farther, making his subordinates look at each other, and no one could keep up with Mao Wenlong's train of thought, but someone reminded him: "General, the Jurchens have tribes living in the area of Changbai Mountain, are they here to take refuge in these tribes?" ”

"How many small tribes have hundreds of thousands of people taken refuge? That's also going to be empty, do you think they can farm like North Korea and feed so many people? It's mainly plundering, if you can really farm and support yourself......"

Mao Wenlong suddenly stopped talking.

"General?"

Several subordinates looked at Mao Wenlong in a daze, a little strange.

"What do you say......"

Mao Wenlong suddenly looked at them: "These barbarians don't want to cross the river to North Korea to plunder and take refuge, right?" ”

Subordinates, you look at me, I look at you, with an incredible look on your face.

"How could they possibly go to North Korea? North Korea is also a country anyway, not to mention more soldiers and horses, not to mention 100,000, and Jianzhou soldiers are only 30,000, how can it compete with North Korea? ”

One subordinate made such an observation.

"Seven years ago, North Korea was beaten like that, the army was almost completely wiped out, and it took more than ten years to recover? Besides, North Korea is not a strong country in the first place, its military strength is weak, and Jianzhou's soldiers and horses are fierce, if it is really right, do you think the North Koreans can win or the Jianzhou people can win? ”

Subordinates, look at me, look at you, no one dares to say big things, and no one knows whether North Korea can win the war.

"If they really went to North Korea, then things would not be easy to do, we still have to discuss with North Korea to go to North Korea to conquer Jianzhou, they will definitely flee all the way to the south, let's chase all the way to the south, and we don't know what to do along the way."

Mao Wenlong narrowed his eyes and seemed to sigh a little.

After a while, Mao Wenlong calmed down, thought for a while, and said, "Let's go directly to North Korea!" ”

"Huh?"

The subordinate cavalry looked at Mao Wenlong in great astonishment.

"Don't understand? I said let's go straight to North Korea! I estimate that some of the Jianzhou people should have crossed the river to Korea at this time, and it should be the right time for us to go now, and it is estimated that the king of Joseon will come again to ask for help soon. ”

Mao Wenlong's face was full of banter.

"This ...... Although North Korea is a subject country of our Great Qin, we also need court documents to cross the river to North Korea, right? Besides, how did the people of Jianju go to North Korea? Aren't they still fighting with our main force on the Jianzhou Wei side? ”

"We know that we will send a partial division to attack them in a sneak attack, but they don't know that we will send a partial division to Korea to fight an outpost war? I guess Nuer Hachi should have thought about going to North Korea for refuge a long time ago, so let the tribes near Changbai Mountain go to North Korea to prepare first, as for the court documents, well, the matter is urgent, and the king's order is not subject to it! Let's go first, don't go to Changbai Mountain, go to Kuandian Fort! ”

"Kuandian Fort?!"

The subordinates really couldn't keep up with Mao Wenlong's brain circuit.

"Stupid! Now that you know that they will go to North Korea, what are you going to Changbai Mountain for? Of course, it's Kuandian Fort! Prepare a boat from there to cross the river into North Korea! How else would we get there? Swim over? ”

Mao Wenlong scolded angrily.

"But ......"

"But what is it? That's an order! Immediately send someone to Hetuala to report to General Ma, saying that I will go to Kuandianbao to prepare ships first, and go to Korea first, and ask him to hurry up, otherwise the king of Korea will come to ask for help again, just send a partial division to the area of Changbai Mountain to clean up the remnants, and the main force should come to Kuandianbao to cross the river and go to Korea! ”

Mao Wenlong tidied himself up as he spoke, turned over and got on his horse and prepared to set off.

"General, this is too sudden, isn't it?"

None of the subordinates reacted.

"This is called the speed of the soldiers! All on the horse and ready to go! ”

Mao Wenlong didn't explain much, and directly ordered the whole army to prepare for departure.

At this moment, go to Changbai Mountain to continue to pursue the remnants, of course, it is useful, maybe they can destroy their boats to cross the river, and leave all the Jianzhou troops on the north bank of the Yalu River, and succeed in the first battle, but the possibility is not too great, and if it is successful, the battle will be gone, and his Mao Wenlong's credit will be limited to this.

However, if the Jianzhou people are allowed to cross the river and go to North Korea, causing turmoil in North Korea, the impact will be even greater, and then his Mao Wenlong's contribution will be greater, and he will be able to show his face in front of the North Koreans and ask for credit for himself through the mouths of the North Koreans, so as to maximize the military achievements.

You don't have to be such a little pro-general.

With your own talent, there is always a place to use it.

He was determined to trade the turmoil in North Korea for his own work.

As for how many people will die in North Korea......

How many people have died in North Korea, what is the matter with me Mao Wenlong?

He didn't care.

So Mao Wenlong set off with two thousand cavalry to Kuandianbao, and before that, he ordered all the living captives to be killed, leaving not a single one.

After leaving behind the corpses, Mao Wenlong set them on fire, and then led his troops away.

At this time, it was September 18 of the first year of Longwu.
