On the morning of September 20, on the south bank of the Luoma River, the humiliating king Lei and the humiliating king Mengba and his nephew again received an urgent report from Songshan Pass. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There are more enemy soldiers near the pass, and send out a tentative attack, but this is not the point, the point is to make the defenders of the pass clearly see that the enemy troops who came after are actually wearing the uniforms of the Middle-earth army, under the banner of the Middle-earth army, and even the shouts are the voice of Middle-earth, which makes the Xi soldiers in the pass very puzzled, all kinds of speculations, people's hearts are panicked, and morale is even more affected, after all, the Turks have been so strong that the Xi people are suffocated, and the behemoth of Middle-earth makes the Xi people desperate, If the Turks and Middle-earth attack the Xi people at the same time, how can the Xi people be preserved?

Lei and Meng Ba's uncle and nephew were also puzzled and surprised, what the hell is going on? Who is the enemy? If the enemy is the Turks, then where did the Middle-earth army come from? If the enemy is the army of Middle-earth, why are the horse thieves in the flat pine forest rushing to the front?

The two of them thought of a news that they directly ignored, a news that had been secretly reported early by the fine saku lurking in the ranks of horse thieves, that the white wolf had returned with tens of thousands of Middle-earth troops.

"How is this possible?" Meng Ba patted his head and shouted, "The white wolf has only been missing for more than two years, and even if he escapes to Middle-earth, repeats his old tricks, and pulls up a team again, it is absolutely impossible for him to grow to tens of thousands of horses in just two years." ”

Ray was a tall, stout bearded man, who seemed savage and stupid, but he was very cautious. He believed that the defenders of the pass would not lie about the military situation, nor would they exaggerate, and they must have gone through some serious investigation before sending this urgent message, after all, the stakes are very high, and those who make mistakes will be held responsible, and Meng Ba will not talk nonsense, the enemy he fought against before was indeed a well-armed forest horse thief, and under normal circumstances, only the Turks could buy and use the horse thieves, so it is natural to judge the Turks as the real enemy, but what if it is not normal?

"You don't rush to deny." Lei shook his hand and said, "What seems unbelievable may not be impossible. Let's assume that this is possible, and the White Wolf returned to Middle-earth to raise a team of tens of thousands of horses in just two years. ”

Meng Ba forced himself to calm down, "Okay, according to what you said, there are many people in Middle Earth, and the population of a high-class county far exceeds that of our Xi people. The white wolf returned to Middle-earth, raised the flag to rebel, ascended to the heights, and gathered a large number of responders, and it was indeed possible to pull up a team of tens of thousands of horses in a short period of time. ”

"In the past two years, the Middle-earth Crusade has been empty, and there have been many rebellions, which is indeed a good opportunity for thieves like White Wolf to fish in troubled waters." "Although we have not seen the chaos in Middle-earth with our own eyes, the merchants who come and go from the north to the south are well-informed, and even if their words are exaggerated and untrue, they are not too far from the truth. ”

"The truth is that Youyan has not had any rebellion in the past two years, and even if the white wolf raises a team in Middle-earth, it is far away." Meng Ba asked excitedly, "If the white wolf wants to get out of the fortress, he will first have to take tens of thousands of troops to the north, all the way through the pass, and the blockers will be invincible, do you think it is possible?" The white wolf is out of the fortress, if the target is my Xi people, why do you want to go far and far, not from the Gubei mouth, and directly copy the back road of my Xi people, and give my Xi people a fatal blow, but go north from Huaihuang, and fight with the Turks first? ”

Lei frowned, pondered for a long time, the more he thought about it, the more complicated it became, and he couldn't help but shake his head again and again, "I remember that when the Emperor of Middle-earth returned to Zhuo County from Liaodong, it was in July, and the time when Yanbei fell into chaos should be the end of July or the beginning of August, that is to say, if the white wolf is the leader of the rebels in Middle-earth who attacked the Turks, then when he went north, the Emperor of Middle-earth happened to be in Jicheng, the capital of Zhuo County, and the entire Youzhou was heavily guarded. ”

As soon as it came to the Emperor of Middle-earth, Lei and Meng Ba looked at each other, and immediately had an association, and a trace of realization passed in their eyes.

"Middle-earth hastily ended the Second Crusade, supposedly because of a rebellion in the Eastern Capital." Meng Ba said thoughtfully.

"There is a rebellion in the east, and the armies from all over the country have to rush to Beijing to quell the rebellion, which gives the white wolf the opportunity to go all the way north to get out of the fortress." Lei continued, "The Emperor of Middle-earth is anxious to return to the Eastern Capital to stabilize the situation, and he is definitely not willing to spend too much time encircling and suppressing the White Wolf in Yanbei, but the White Wolf scourges Youyan and will inevitably endanger the safety of the town. ”

Lei and Meng Ba glanced at each other and suddenly realized.

Meng Ba shouted out four words without thinking, "Drive the tiger and devour the wolf." ”

Lei Lian shook his head and stroked his beard in exclamation, "Borrow a knife to kill." Good plan, good plan! ”

In order to stabilize the situation in Youyan, the Emperor of Middle-earth had to do two things, one was to drive the tiger and the wolf, drive the white wolf out of the fortress, fight against the Turks, and then achieve his second goal, to contain and weaken the Turks and ensure the safety of the Great Wall. But the white wolf is not an idiot, he will definitely not be fooled, and the Turks will not be fooled, and if they don't do it well, they will use all means to win over and buy the white wolf, so that the emperor of Middle-earth must first win over and buy the white wolf, and it is definitely not possible to know that he is reasonable, and he must come up with real benefits, and he must come up with interests that are enough to impress the white wolf.

Lei and Meng Ba's uncle and nephew have a certain degree of understanding of the white wolf, after all, the two sides were opponents who fought head-on back then. The biggest goal of the white wolf is to conquer the Donghu species, sweep the vast northeast land centered on both sides of the weak Luoshui, and dominate the northeast, and the primary goal is Anzhou. The reason why Ah Hui Zheng united all forces to encircle and suppress the white wolf two years ago was precisely because the white wolf exposed this ambition and formed a potential threat to the Xi people, so Ah Hui Zheng was bound to eradicate it in the bud so as not to cause a big disaster.

The white wolf's condition is exactly what the Emperor of Middle-earth wants, and the Emperor of Middle-earth will definitely agree. As long as the white wolf is willing to get out of the fortress, the plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf will be successful, and then the white wolf will win or lose, the Turks will lose, and the emperor of Middle-earth will benefit. Of course, if the White Wolf defeated the Turks and successfully entered Anzhou, or even captured Anzhou, the strategy of killing people with a knife succeeded again, and the success of this strategy immediately reversed the unfavorable situation in the confrontation between the north and the south in Middle-earth. The Emperor of Middle-earth was overjoyed, and he must give strong support to the white wolf and help the white wolf sweep through the northeast, so that it can not only deal a heavy blow to the Donghu people, but also drag the Turks into the northeast battlefield, and the emperor of Middle-earth will easily take the northeast with the help of the power of the white wolf, and successfully achieve the goal of containing and weakening the Turks.

This plan is really a good plan, a wonderful plan, and if this guess is true, the enemy surrounding the ghost side is indeed the Middle-earth army led by the white wolf, then this strategy of Middle-earth has basically succeeded for more than half of it, and then as long as the white wolf defeats Ah Huizheng and the five armies of the Xi people, then Anzhou is at his fingertips, and since the white wolf can defeat the Turks on the lightning plain and enter Anzhou, it is enough to show that his strength can achieve this goal, but this is a catastrophe for the Xi people.

Lei and Meng Ba's uncle and nephew fell into silence and panic. They hoped that their guess was wrong, but the news from the flat pine forest was true, and Meng Ba saw the secret letter with his own eyes. The white wolf made a comeback with tens of thousands of Middle-earth troops, and the news that was previously thought to be absurd has now become bad news for the Xi people.

"Quick! Hurry up! Lei suddenly raised his arms and shouted, "We have a blood feud with the white wolf, once it breaks through the ghost side, it will definitely slaughter the city bloodily, and the humiliated king will be destroyed." ”

"Slow!" Meng Ba grabbed Lei's arm, "If the white wolf has tens of thousands of troops, the ghost side has already fallen, and we will only be sent to death if we rush back." ”

"You're going to run?" Lei was furious, "You dare to escape!" ”

"Where to run? There are white wolves in front and Khitan in the back, and we are in a desperate situation, and there is no way to escape. Meng Ba smiled bitterly, "Uncle, the white wolf is ambitious, his goal is Anzhou, not for me to insult the royal department, so I estimate that the ghost side is still surrounded by him, so we are not in a hurry to rush back to the pass, but immediately come up with a survival plan." ”

As soon as these words came out, Lei Xin understood and immediately calmed down. The white wolf made a comeback with tens of thousands of troops, and there was the support of the Emperor of Middle-earth behind him, so of course his target was not a small humiliation of the royal department, but Anzhou, the entire northeast, and the first target of the attack was King Xi A Huizheng and the five armies. How to defeat Ah Huizheng in the current situation? Of course, it is to use the ghost side and the humiliation of the king as bait, forcing Ah Huizheng to fight with him and finish his work in one battle, and if you want to ensure the chance of victory, you must first ensure that the soldiers have sufficient physical strength and wait for work at ease, so Meng Ba's estimate is very reasonable, and the ghost party is now safe and sound.

However, Ah Huizheng did the opposite, avoiding the enemy's edge, avoiding without fighting, preserving his strength first, and then looking for opportunities to turn defeat into victory. This is a correct decision made based on the strength of the Xi people themselves, in the face of the Turkic strong opponent, the possibility of defeating the strong with the weak is very small, in this case, why do you want to touch the stone with an egg? Of course, if Ah Huizheng guessed that the opponent was a Middle-earth like them, Ah Huizheng would not be able to fall into the scheme. Ah Hui is avoiding but not fighting, what should the white wolf do? Of course, it is to capture the ghost side and slaughter the city bloodily, in order to intimidate the Xi tribes, hit the morale of the Xi people, and force Ah Hui Zheng to fight to the death.

What is the fate of Ah Huizheng and the other four tribes of the Xi clan, Lei and Meng Ba have no ability to care, and they don't want to care, since the humiliating royal tribe has been ruthlessly betrayed and abandoned by Ah Huizheng and the other four tribes of the Xi clan, of course they only care about their own fate.

How to save the humiliated royal ministry under the current situation? The main force of the Xi clan that encircled and suppressed the white wolf was the main force of the humiliating king, and killed a lot of white wolf's brothers, so surrender is equivalent to death, counting on the white wolf's house to be benevolent and open, the only way is to exchange, take enough to impress the white wolf's interests in exchange, and the only interest that can move the white wolf is Anzhou, that is to say, if the humiliating king wants to save himself, he must help the white wolf capture Anzhou, which will betray the Xi king A Huizheng and the remaining four of the Xi people, This is to kill each other and siblings.

Lei turned his eyes to look at Meng Ba, but Meng Ba subconsciously avoided it, as if he didn't have the courage to look at each other, and this was a clear hint. Meng Ba has actually made a decision, you are unkind, I am unjust, you put me to humiliate the royal department to death, I will return blood for a tooth, and kill you without leaving a piece of armor. And what about brothers? When you betrayed me, you didn't even blink your eyes, and brazenly said that this is to save me, and you are too deceitful to deceive people, which is unbearable, and it is better to kill you and replace me than I sacrifice in vain.

Ray looked up at the sky and sighed secretly. The situation is developing too fast, and the number of changes in a day, a good Xi tribe, the most powerful Xi tribe among the Donghu species, actually fell apart overnight, which is incredible.

"Survival requires not only a cost, but also wisdom." Ray's mood was heavy, and his tone was gloomy, "One wrong step, one wrong step, if this one is wrong......"

"As far as the current situation is concerned, if the humiliating royal tribe wants to survive, it can only pay the price." Meng Ba glanced at Lei and said with a pun, "Of course wisdom is more important, Middle-earth can borrow a knife to kill people, why can't we borrow a knife to kill people?" The white wolf is ambitious, this is his Achilles' heel, and once this weakness is caught by us, we can not only keep the humiliation of the king's department, but even rebuild the five tribes of the Xi clan and return to the era of the alliance. ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, and Lei's mood suddenly lifted. The strength of the Ahui clan is not a good thing for the Xi people, the Xi Wangfu is above the five departments, and what follows is the concentration of power and wealth, which is related to the survival of the tribe, and it is an obvious and unacceptable huge threat to the five tribes, but fortunately, the Xi Wangfu has been established for a short time, and the Ahui clan is not strong enough to take life and death, and the trust between the local forces in Anzhou and the Xi people who helped the Ahui clan implement the policy of centralization is also very limited, which makes the contradictions and conflicts between the Xi Wangfu and the five tribes of the Xi clan still within a controllable range, just"Centralization" is like a sword hanging over the head of the five tribes, making the five tribes restless, and the tribal nobles are all seeking an opportunity to overthrow the Ah Hui clan and the Xi Wangfu. Now that the opportunity is in front of him, Lei didn't see it, but Meng Ba keenly discovered it.

"It's a good plan." Lei resolutely responded positively, "But the premise is that the white wolf not only needs to be strong, but also needs the support of Middle-earth, and the latter is especially important, otherwise the white wolf will not become the climate after all." ”

"So, if the White Wolf doesn't have the support of Middle-earth, we'll let the entire army of the Humiliating King be wiped out?" Meng Ba sneered and asked sharply, "Since the Ah Hui clan can use the power of the Anzhou people to override the five tribes, why can't we form an alliance with the white wolf and dominate the northeast?" Now that the humiliating royal ministry has been betrayed by the entire Xi clan, why do you still insult the royal ministry and die for the entire Xi clan? ”

Lei's face was pale, and without saying a word, he galloped away.
