Chapter 40: The Affair of the Wild Goose Gate 9
Seeing Shi Lei's embarrassed expression, Gru, who had already lost his square inch in his heart at this time, suddenly said anxiously, "Great, my lord, you, you must help me, you see, otherwise you let me tell everything in the clan, I will not fall to this point, you see that I have no credit and hard work, you can save me!" ”
"Hey, that's it, that's it, for your honest sake, as long as you help me do something, if this thing is done well, I will ask for credit for you in front of General Feng, when the time comes, don't say that you will stay in Yanmen Pass, maybe if you do it well, I can still promote you as an official, how about it, do you want to do it." Shi Lei began to say bewildermently again.
"Can you stay, can you still be an official, really?" Gru asked, somewhat surprised.
"Of course, do you think I don't seem to be a person who doesn't talk, I just said I won't kill you, you see, you're not alive and well now."
"Well, what do you need me to do, I know so much about the things in the clan." Gru spoke.
"Actually, there is no big deal, it is about the two hundred warriors who entered Yanmen Pass in your Su and Anhui Departments, you also know that now your plan has been exposed, and it is simply impossible for you to take advantage of the chaos to sneak attack Yanmen Pass, so if the two hundred people in your pass want to sneak attack the gate, there is only one way to die, this is where I need you." Shi Lei explained like Gru.
As soon as Shi Lei's words were said, Gru became even more puzzled, "But, what does this have to do with me, are you still going to let me persuade them to sneak attack?" ”
Shi Lei gave a sigh of appreciation to Gru, "Yes, that's what I mean, I hope you can go and persuade them, although they are all Mongols, but I don't like dead people very much, if I can solve things peacefully, I am very willing." ”
"No, no, it's impossible, they are all the most elite warriors in the tribe, many of them fought with the Qing State back then, and it is more difficult to get them to surrender than to kill them, I won't do it, as soon as I say it, they will kill me immediately." Gru shook his head like a drum.
"Then can you watch them die like this, you know, they are all your clansmen, think about it carefully, if your clan loses these elite warriors, it will definitely lose a lot of people under the Yanmen Pass after a while, and when the time comes, will your Su and Anhui tribes still be able to continue to exist on the grassland, you know, good luck is only once, and Changshengtian will not take care of you forever." Shi Lei suddenly said righteously.
After listening to Shi Lei's words, Gru was suddenly silent, on the one hand, he was worried that those people would kill him directly after knowing the news of his betrayal, but on the other hand, he thought that among those people, they were all the elites of his own tribe, including Uncle Esu, who taught him martial arts, and his playmates since childhood, thinking that if he refused, they would be killed immediately, and his heart suddenly struggled hard.
Looking at Gru, who had been pondering for a long time with his head bowed and had not moved at all, Shi Lei said, "Actually, I have a way to get the best of both worlds, if you want, then it can ensure your safety, and you can also keep those people from being killed, how about it, would you like to hear it?" ”
Yanmen Pass the east of the city
This is the dirtiest place in Yanmen Pass, it is not like the North City, there are neat shops everywhere, and it is not like the South Market, it is the residence of rich people and officials, but the east of the city is the most important place in Yanmen Pass, if Yanmen Pass is less than the east of the city, then Yanmen Pass is not Yanmen Pass.
The reason why the east of the city is important is because it is a bridge of communication between the inside and outside the customs, on the surface, secretly, in the government, bandits, as long as you have the goods in your hands, then there are buyers here, and the biggest feature here is that there are many inns, of course, the inn here is not a high-end inn, but the lowest grade of the Chase shop, a few pennies can rest for a night, and there is a place for hot water, which is also the favorite place for those who come here to trade all kinds of trades.
An inn called Sitong in the east of the city is not as lively as other inns today, that is because, since a few days ago, this place has been fully contracted, and the entire inn from the owner to the guys has all been driven away, so everything is arranged by the guests.
"Esu said, why did you say that Young Master Gru they have been gone for so long and have not come back, will something happen, if they are discovered by those Ming troops, then what should we do."
The courtyard of the Sitong Inn was already crowded with people at this time, and under the light of the fire, I saw that these people were holding long sabers in their hands, where they were constantly wiping, they were the Suwan tribesmen who had mixed into Yanmen Pass and wanted to snatch the gate tonight, and the people who spoke were the two people sitting in the front.
Hearing the words in his ears, he saw a sturdy man with a curly beard on his face and said slowly, "Don't worry, Gru is much smarter than you, whether it is to inquire about intelligence or arrange for us to sneak into Yanmen Pass, isn't it all done by him, it is not successfully completed, I believe he must have gone out to inquire about the news again, you still sharpen the knife honestly, save a while, your knife was not sharp enough, and the head was cut off by the Ming army." ”
As soon as Esu's words were finished, he heard the Mongolian young man next to him suddenly say dissatisfied, "Uncle Esu, don't underestimate me, although I am not as experienced in battle as yours, but in the entire tribe, I am also very powerful, just with those cowards of the Ming army, let alone cutting off my head, it is okay to kneel and beg for mercy when I see that I am not frightened." ”
"Hey, you young people, you are really young and vigorous, I don't know how thick the sky is, you are too underestimated to look down on the Ming Dynasty, I tell you, you are too underestimated to the Ming army, when the patriarch of Su Ritu took us to attack the Ming Dynasty with Lin Dan Khan, there were more than 100,000 fierce Mongolian warriors, but they were stunned that they could not capture the Taiyuan Town of the Ming Dynasty, and in the end, they had to retreat, and it was precisely because of this that Lin Dan Khan would lose so quickly when he fought a decisive battle with the Manchus.
Besides, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is also huge in your hearts, but even he doesn't dare to provoke the behemoth of Daming easily, so you should try to be careful, otherwise, you will easily lose your life, I don't want you all to die here. After listening to the Mongolian man's words, Esu said with some sighs.
"Ah, Uncle Esu, since Da Ming is so powerful, but why do we still attack Yanmen Pass, aren't we afraid that Da Ming will deal with us?" Hearing Esu's exclamation, the Mongolian young man said with some surprise.
"Hehehe, what, little Geril is scared, don't worry, the patriarch and the elders are not stupid, although Da Ming looks big, but he is already a terminally ill patient, and there are no good days left, which is why we dare to attack Yanmen Pass.
What's more, we are just attacking Yanmen Pass, and when we beat Yanmen Pass, we get countless money, food and weapons here, we will return to the grassland, at that time, even if the Ming want to deal with us, then they must be able to find us, so, don't think too much, your task is to follow behind me, destroy all the enemies in front of us, and then open the gate of Yanmen Pass, let the patriarch in, in this way, our task is completed, when the time comes, You also have enough money to go and ask for marriage to the house of Sangar. Seeing that Geril was a little nervous, Esu said with a smile.
"Who is afraid, I just haven't heard of this before, don't worry, Uncle Esu, I will definitely kill a few more Ming soldiers in a while, and strive to become a qualified warrior as soon as possible." Geril smiled reluctantly.
Just as the two were talking, they heard a knock at the door, and with a few sounds of different lengths, Esu and Grile couldn't help but have a smile on their faces, and then they saw Gru coming in from outside the gate.
"Gru, you're finally back, we've been worried about your safety just now, how about it, it's okay!" The impatient Geril spoke first.
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, how can I be okay." Gru, who was a little distracted, replied.
"It's okay, why are you the only ones who came back, Helu and the others, why didn't they come back together." Esu, who was following behind Grile, said.
"Oh, when we went out just now, we found that there was a little difference in the city, so I asked a few of them to go to find out the information, forget it, leave them alone for now, I told you that the Ming army may have paid attention to our actions, so, I thought about it just now and decided to advance our actions." Gru said after stabilizing his mood.
"Act ahead, but haven't we already agreed with the patriarch, if we act rashly in advance, will there be mistakes, if so, maybe the plan will fail?" Hearing Gru's words, Esu suddenly said puzzled.
"Uncle Esu, I also know that if you act in advance, there will be mistakes, but I have just found out that the Ming army has actually sent a large group of officers and soldiers to the city gate, if we still act according to the agreed time, maybe we will not be able to open the city gate at all, if that is the case, Abu and they will not be able to enter at all, so, in order for Abu's plan to succeed, I will definitely act in advance, I think, Abu will agree." Gru retorted.
Note 1: Abu is the name of the Mongols for their father.
