180 Civil strife in Donghu
In the big tent, Lin Changqing was staring at the map of Mobei in a daze, thinking about how to march this way. Suddenly, hearing the shout of "urgent report", Lin Changqing shouted directly: "Pass! ”
Soon, a leather-armored scout with a weathered head walked into the big tent, knelt down and said, "I've seen General Lin, this is the latest information from the Donghu Department, please take a look." ”
After taking the small silk cloth, Lin Changqing read it carefully, and in the end, a smile appeared on his face, and he exclaimed, "Okay." Someone came, ordered the army to be ready and ready to open at any time, and in addition, passed Cao Changshi, General Feng, and General Song into the account. ”
Soon, Cao Han, Chu Haoyu, and Feng Zhiqi rushed over. Seeing Lin Changqing with a smile on his face, Feng Zhiqi showed a sneer on his face, and opened his mouth to say, "General Lin, but there is news from the Donghu Department?" ”
Nodding, Lin Changqing opened his mouth and said, "Good news, the Donghu Department has become a mess, we can go back." Here, three of you can also take a look. While speaking, Lin Changqing handed the silk cloth in his hand to Cao Han.
After a glance, Cao Han handed the silk cloth to Feng Zhiqi, and finally fell into Chu Haoyu's hands. The silk cloth is written very simply, Jige's eldest son Su Han was assassinated, the rest of the sons conspired to seize military power, the generals of the unified army, Orileuk and Arsleng were killed successively, the sons turned against each other, and more than half of the warriors of the Donghu tribe were killed and wounded, and they were preparing to flee.
The heart was so fast, but Chu Haoyu set his eyes on Lin Changqing. It's only been four days, and if you subtract the day when the scouts came from Donghu, it's only three days, which means that within three days, the largest tribe near Chishui Lake is now in chaos. Looking at Lin Changqing, who looked indifferent, Chu Haoyu suddenly had a hint of enlightenment.
Glancing at a few people, Lin Changqing opened his mouth and said: "Now that the Donghu Department is in chaos, I believe that the army will come, and the Donghu Department will definitely flee from the wind, so now we have to think about how to kill all the warriors of the Donghu Department and drive the old and weak women and children to the Adar grassland." ”
When Lin Changqing finished speaking, the big tent was extremely quiet, and even Chu Haoyu was thinking about countermeasures in his heart. He used to be playful, but he had just learned the art of war, and the reason why he was able to come up with a way the first few times was mostly because he was in a hurry, but at this moment, Chu Haoyu had really never seen this kind of war that was not like a war, and at the same time, he was secretly sighing that he had really learned less.
There are a large number of old and weak women and children in the Donghu tribe, and the migration speed of the Ju tribe must not be fast, but this place is hundreds of miles away from the Adar steppe, if the speed is too slow, how can the army advance?
In silence, Lin Changqing opened his mouth again and said, "Three, the general should first talk about how we march along the way!" While speaking, Lin Changqing turned to look at the map of Mobei, and Chu Haoyu and the three of them also surrounded him.
Pointing to one of the points, Lin Changqing opened his mouth and said: "We are here now, Chishui Lake, and then go east to the Dadanba Desert, at this time, General Ben will lead the army to continue to move forward, through the Danba Desert into the Adar Grassland, while General Feng will lead the Tiger Camp north to the Alag Mountains, and along the foot of the mountain into the hinterland behind the Tatar Department, the Solenge Plateau. ”
After a pause, Lin Changqing continued: "The two armies, General Feng is in the dark, and Ben is in the dark, so the news of the army's entry into Mobei should be known to the Tatar Department, but it is not too early for him to know, it is best after we enter the Adar steppe, and then go all the way east to the important town of Umut, waiting for the military order." ”
Chu Haoyu understood what Lin Changqing meant, only when the Tatar Ministry got the news of the army, could they protect Feng Zhiqi's strange soldiers; But if the Tatars get the news too soon, they will definitely send troops to destroy everyone, then it will be a fierce battle.
Just when Chu Haoyu was thinking about countermeasures, Feng Zhiqi opened his mouth and said coldly: "General Lin, after killing the strong people of the Donghu Division, there are only a large number of old and weak women and children left, if the army follows them, I am afraid that it will be difficult to enter the Adar grassland on time, so the last general thinks that he will rush and kill all the way, leaving only a few people's lives and letting them escape, but the army will follow." ”
Speaking of this, the corners of Feng Zhiqi's mouth hung a sneer, and said: "These people only care about fleeing for their lives, they must choose the nearest way, it just so happens that we are not familiar with the Danba Desert, so let them lead the way for the army." Moreover, the Danba Desert is desolate, and there are only a few small ethnic groups, which cannot stop the army at all, and it doesn't hurt to miss it. ”
It is undeniable that although Feng Zhiqi's move is ruthless, it is a very effective method, the army can reach the Adar Grassland in the shortest possible time, and then move east along the edge of the Adar Grassland, sweeping away the surrounding small tribes. It's just that tens of thousands of old and weak women and children will kill when they say they will kill, Chu Haoyu is still a little resistant and uncomfortable in his heart. Unable to think of a better way, Chu Haoyu shook his head and set his eyes on Lin Changqing.
Lin Changqing was also hesitating, after all, it was 20,000 people, not brutes, and they were all old and weak, women and children, everyone was a soldier, the most elite soldier, not a butcher.
At this moment, Cao Han, who looked calm, opened his mouth and said, "General Lin, this is in Mobei, and if it is broken, it will be broken." ”
Hearing Cao Han's words, Lin Changqing still didn't say anything, and finally said: "This place is only a hundred miles away from Donghubu, which is almost more than three hundred miles away from the Danba Desert, and there are still five days before the army converges. In these five days, if they can enter the Danba Desert, they will not pursue it again, otherwise they will ......"
Although the latter words were not spoken, Chu Haoyu smelled a strong bloody aura.
After a pause, Lin Changqing continued: "The army will set off tonight and arrive at Donghu at noon tomorrow, and there will definitely be warriors to greet them at that time, but the general doesn't want to run into these dead soldiers, so he will deal with them all the way." Speaking of this, Lin Changqing set his eyes on Chu Haoyu and said, "General Song, are you interested?" ”
Chu Haoyu's expression did not change in any way, and he said calmly: "The last general will be ordered!" After finishing speaking, Chu Haoyu continued: "General Lin, since you want the Donghu Department to send troops, the last general thinks that you can send a team of men and horses first to harass the Donghu Department before the army arrives. As a result, the Donghu tribe must have been more panicked, and finally had to send troops to delay the army. ”
After thinking for a moment, Lin Changqing nodded and said, "It's okay, but General Song, you have to understand that those who come to delay time are dead soldiers, and you must not touch them." ”
"The last general understands!" With a fist and a salute, Chu Haoyu turned around and left the big tent.
Seeing Chu Haoyu leave, Feng Zhiqi showed a strange color in his eyes, looked at Lin Changqing and asked, "General, you sent General Song away, but you don't want him to participate in the massacre?" ”
Sighing lightly, Lin Changqing nodded and said, "Although his face is cold, his eyes are pure, and he is just a child after all." If my life is difficult because of this, how can I explain to him, to the Holy Lord, and to the Captain. ”
At the end of the words, Lin Changqing let out a can't help sighing, but in Lin Changqing's sigh, Feng Zhiqi showed an interesting smile.
In a hurry, Chu Haoyu rushed to Donghu before dawn. When Chu Haoyu stopped his horse, a guard came to announce: "General Qiyu, there is a brother from the scout camp who asked to see the general, saying that he knew the general. ”
Looking at the Donghu battalion in front of him, Chu Haoyu said calmly: "Pass! ”
It is indeed an old acquaintance, and the scout Li Dazhuang who led Chu Haoyu over the Red Flame Mountain. Looking at Li Dazhuang, Chu Haoyu's face was calm, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes, and he said first: "It turned out to be Li Wuchang, how are the brothers?" ”
Seeing Song Qing in black armor, Li Dazhuang was obviously a little surprised, but he saluted respectfully and said: "The little one doesn't dare to be called like this by the general, the brothers are all good, and General Lao is concerned." ”
Shaking his head, Chu Haoyu didn't say anything more, and asked directly, "How is Donghubu?" ”
Li Dazhuang immediately replied: "Soon after the army left, the Donghu Department launched an attack on the camp, and found that the camp was empty, and the only two remaining commanders of the Donghu Department, Orilehok and Arslen, both thought it was a trick and refused to hand over the military power, and at the same time discussed the election of a patriarch, so the last general assassinated the eldest son Su Han, who was most likely to ascend the throne. ”
After a pause, Li Dazhuang continued: "After this incident, the Donghu Department was in chaos, and the brothers took advantage of the chaos to get rid of the two of Erilheke and Arslen, and finally, several of Jige's sons began to kill each other, and more than half of the elite casualties of the Donghu Department remained, and now there are only 3,000 guards left. ”
Nodding, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and asked, "Who became the patriarch?" ”
Li Dazhuang replied respectfully: "The second son Su He, and the remaining five sons, except for the sixth son Su Shan, who took the lead in escaping to the Tatar Department, were killed by Su He. Now, Su He was planning to flee to the Tatar Ministry and had already packed his things, thinking that they would definitely flee immediately after receiving the news of the arrival of the army. ”
Nodding, Chu Haoyu said lightly: "Got it, go down and rest." ”
Bowing down, Li Dazhuang said in a deep voice: "The last general will leave!" ”
After looking at the camp of the Donghu Department for a moment, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said: "Uncle Zheng, General Hu, you each bring two hundred men and horses to attack once, you don't have to go too deep, just let the Donghu Department know that the army is coming." ”
Hu Zhiguang did not hesitate, and immediately bowed down and responded: "The last general will be ordered!" ”
Looking at his young master, Chu Zheng's eyes and face were full of doubts, what is wrong with the young master, he didn't personally lead the troops to attack, and the road was extremely dull, and he seemed to be a little restless. Thinking of this, Chu Zheng couldn't help asking, "Young Master, are you okay?" ”
Chu Haoyu didn't answer immediately, and after a moment of silence, he shouted, "Wu Zhenfeng." ”
"The last general!" With the shouting, a silver-armored soldier came out and bowed to Chu Haoyu. However, even with his head down, Chu Haoyu could still clearly see the scar on his face.
Looking at Wu Zhenfeng, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said: "You take two hundred men and horses to attack, echoing General Hu, there must be no mistake." ”
Although he was a little surprised, Wu Zhenfeng shouted without any hesitation: "The last general will be ordered!" After bowing again, Wu Zhenfeng beat his horse and left.
At this moment, Chu Zheng was even more curious, but when he saw Chu Haoyu's face, he didn't speak, waiting for his young master to say it himself.
Looking at the endless tents in front of them, and then looking at the two teams of silver-armored soldiers rushing out of the darkness, the sound of hurried horses' hooves seemed to be trampled on the heart, which made people so excited and uncomfortable.
In the sound of horses' hooves, the horn of Donghu had already sounded, and at this moment, all the soldiers had already drawn their long knives, and the sharp blades were shining in this night, so cold.
This is a breath of death, Chu Haoyu has already smelled blood, and a sea of blood has appeared in his eyes, there are enemies, comrades-in-arms, old people and children, and the bloody scene of the wedding day flashed in Chu Haoyu's mind again, everything was as red as blood.
