Chapter 1097 How can I believe that you are not a river

See clearly

It's the best thing to be a decision-maker.

Only by seeing clearly can we make fewer mistakes. At the level of Fang Jie, he was no longer able to tolerate his mistakes. In the past, when he was just starting out, the cost of making mistakes might have been to start all over again. By now, if he had made a big enough mistake, the blood of those who died with him would have become a sea.

Therefore, the solution must first be prioritized.

Once the matter on the side of the Meng Yuan people is over, then the next step is not to go to the Dalun Temple of the Great Snow Mountain to find the bad luck of the so-called god, because even if the existence of that god is no longer reasonable, it has nothing to do with Fang Xie for the time being, even if the so-called god has already begun to arrange to get rid of Fang Jie.

Fang Xie This is not a kind of revenge with virtue, it is okay for people, and Fang Xie is not so kind to such a cold thing. The reason why I don't go to Dalun Temple in Daxue Mountain for the time being is because the most urgent thing now is the war on the eastern side of Xinjiang. Judging from the information sent from Dongjiang recently, Mu Guangling has become more and more stupid.

And the reason for this stupidity has a lot to do with the death of his only son Mu Xianjun. It can be said that the battle on Penglai Island had a great impact on Mu Guangling's state of mind, and the death of his only son made his spirit a little confused. As mentioned before, if a decision-maker does not see clearly, then it is not far from extinction.

But in any case, now Mufu is still the most powerful force in Eastern Xinjiang. If the Mu Mansion collapses, the battle against the foreigners will inevitably turn more passive. Relying only on the 100,000 Black Flag Army of Nalan Dingdong and the scattered forces gathered around him, it was difficult to defeat the foreigners.

What Fang Xie was afraid of was not the collapse of the Mu Mansion, but the fact that he did not rush to the eastern frontier before the collapse of the Mu Mansion.

This is a degree that is difficult to grasp, and now it is Nalan Dingdong who grasps this degree. On the one hand, he wants to continue to divide the Mu Mansion, and on the other hand, he has to resist the foreigners and unite other forces, which is a balance. Once this balance is broken at an inappropriate time, Nalan Dingdong is also very likely to be swept up by the storm.

So

The war against Meng Yuan cannot be delayed any longer.

Because of the agreement with Meng Ge, Fang Xie no longer needs to wait for the arrival of the brigade from Chang'an City, and now Meng Ge is in his camp, and it is definitely not a loss-making deal to exchange 200,000 wolf horses for killing Gai and pardoning. To know how much impact the arrival of these 200,000 wolf horsemen in Eastern Xinjiang will have on the battle situation, the foreigners are most afraid of the cavalry that comes and goes like the wind.

The firearms of this era were far from being able to fight a war with overwhelming superiority even in cavalry. The foreigner's platoon gun array has extremely powerful lethality for infantry, but it is greatly reduced for light cavalry. As long as tactics can be used reasonably, it is not impossible to break the platoon gun array of foreigners with light cavalry.

Fang Xie is writing a letter

A letter addressed to Gai Amnesty

In smooth water

Rare good weather, there are no layers of ripples on the Yishui, and the water surface is calm and looks like a large mirror. The wide river channel instinctively has no wind and waves, but today it seems that even the river has a premonition that something big is going to happen, so I just want to be a quiet spectator.

West bank of Yishui

Since last night, Meng Yuan's wolf cavalry suddenly made a move, and the 200,000 wolf cavalry suddenly left the camp under the leadership of General Wang Ting and lined up on the bank of Yishui. This kind of move made Gai Yu's heart inexplicably nervous, although the Montenegrin army has an absolute advantage in terms of troops, but the wolf rider's posture of fighting against the water will inevitably make people feel restless.

He didn't know what was going on, but he knew that Da Zi must have known what was going on. The monk of the Buddhist sect had been monitoring Meng Ge, but Da Zi did not come to him last night, and Meng Ge immediately sent people to look for Da Zi after learning that the wolf cavalry had suddenly left the camp, but he did not find it.

This is even more unconscionable.

Where did you go?

Just as he was assigning his generals, a letter was delivered to him.

A handwritten letter from Fang Jie.

Breaking apart the faith, there are only a dozen words on the letterhead.

"The general is now struggling, either fighting as hard as he can, or retreating quickly, but the general is hesitant. I was worried that the war in Dongjiang would not dare to drag on for a long time, so I had to plan to fight with the general as soon as possible. Before noon today, if the general does not return to the grassland with his troops, I will fight the general in a decisive battle on the bank of Yishui. I also wonder if the general will be able to use that knife. ”

Looking at this letter, Gai Yu's brow furrowed into two mountain beams.

"Not right"

Gai Yu thought that the 200,000 wolf riders suddenly went to the bank of Yishui, and then looked at what Fang Xie said about fighting by the river, Gai Yu had a feeling that he had fallen into a trap. The disappearance of Da Zi may really be related to Fang Jie, but how could Da Zi Zi's cultivation disappear so quietly?

The posture of Meng Yuan's wolf rider was obviously preparing to fight with the Black Mountain Army. If the Mongol Yuan and Han people unite, the Montenegrin army may not be able to win even if it is strong. What's more, the Han people have feared firearms in their hands.

"Will it be?"

As the second person recognized in the Montenegrin army, Bei Huaili, the highest-ranking military advisor under Gai Amnesty, had a very solemn face. The origin of this person is very mysterious, and it is said that seven or eight out of ten decisions of the Montenegrin Army came from this person and not from Gai Yu. Gai Yu trusted this man very much, and it was rumored that the Black Mountain Army's talisman was even handed over to this person to hold.

"Meng Ge has reached some kind of agreement with Fang Jie?"

Bei Huaili used to wear a veil, and he couldn't tell the specific age from the eyes that were exposed. But what is certain is that his eyes are clear and bright, without a trace of cloudiness, so he should not be very old. It is said that Bei Huaili is not a member of his own clan, judging by the color of his eyes, he may even be a Han Chinese, because his eyes are black, while the tribes of Gai Yu have blue eyes.

"And"

Bei Huaili pondered for a while and said, "Fang Jie's sudden change in attitude is certainly due to his concern about the war among the foreigners in Eastern Xinjiang, but I suspect that his reinforcements have arrived. Our scouts can't cross the river, I don't know what happened to the Han people, if Fang Jie's reinforcements really arrive, plus what agreement with Meng Ge, then now we are facing two powerful enemies joining forces. ”

"You mean to retire?"

Gai asked.

Bei Huaili nodded: "The situation is unknown now, but it is obviously not good for us." I didn't agree to the Eastern Crusade at the beginning, and if the general was willing to come, I couldn't stop it. If the general had listened to me and suddenly attacked the royal court at the end of the war between Buddhism and the Mengyuan royal court, now the general would have sat in the royal court and ordered the Quartet. The best opportunity has been missed before, although it is dangerous now, it may not be another good time, it is not too late for the general to lead the troops to retreat at this time, as long as he returns to the grassland, what does the empty Mengyuan royal court rely on to block the general's hundreds of thousands of male soldiers? ”

"Hold back?"

Gai Yu muttered, then slowly shook his head: "I never flinched. ”

Bei Huaili's eyes were obviously a little anxious: "Why should the general be obsessed with winning or losing with one person?" Only by sitting on the royal court to rule the grassland is the real success. Fang Xie is cunning, and his letter may not have the effect of disturbing the general's state of mind. The general didn't listen to me at the beginning, and this time he will listen to me again anyway. ”

"Most of the affairs in the army are left to you to decide."

Gai Yu said slowly: "I didn't listen to you at the beginning, because I knew that the hundreds of thousands of royal court wolf cavalry around Meng Ge were actually not weaker than my Black Mountain Army, even if they were raided, how could it be so easy to sit in the royal court if they won on the battlefield?" The Mengyuan aristocracy is immortal, and there will be great resistance after all. Those Mengyuan people will not obey me, and the reason why I chose to follow Meng Ge to the east is actually to use the war with the Han people to greatly damage the power of the Golden Family. Those Wang Ting generals died more, and the resistance for me to return to the grassland was much smaller. ”

"I know."

Bei Huaili said: "That's why I didn't insist on stopping the general from coming, but what happened after that was not expected at all, Meng Ge suddenly divided his troops, and he didn't fight fiercely with the Han people, and none of the things we expected to see happened." The person who is at ease is even more unreliable, and since he has deviated from the original direction, it is not the best choice to go back. ”

He stood up and bowed deeply: "Please listen to me and go back to the grassland." ”

After being silent for a long time, Gai Yu finally nodded: "Okay, although you are not from my clan, you have been planning for me wholeheartedly, and after I go back, I will listen to some of your suggestions." ”

Bei Huaili's eyes obviously showed a bit of joy: "If the general goes back, he will send someone to rush back to Montenegro as soon as possible, and order the tribe to return with all his strength, and use the strength of the clan to attack the royal court." ”

"Good"

Now that the decision has been made, Gai Yu did not hesitate: "You can arrange these things." ”

His gaze seemed to casually glance at Fang Jie's handwritten letter, but the meaning in his eyes was so complicated. He didn't pay much attention to the rest of the letter, except for the last sentence, which seemed to have a magical power to attract his idea.

"I also wonder if the general can still use that knife?"

Bei Huaili didn't miss this detail, so there was immediately worry in his eyes: "General, don't!" ”

He grabbed the letter and tore it to pieces: "Fang Xie deliberately wanted the general to be fooled, and the general should focus on the overall situation." ”

Gai Yu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I know"

West bank of Yishui

A large ship slowly approached the shore.

When Fang Xie got off the big boat, he deliberately walked half a step slower and walked side by side with Meng Ge. This move is nothing more than to comfort those Mengyuan generals who are eyeing them in the distance, and now they are going to go to Dongjiang to fight with foreigners, so Fang Xie doesn't mind taking care of their emotions.

What could be more enjoyable than having enemies and enemies fight to the death on the battlefield?

"My lord, the Montenegrin army has indeed withdrawn."

Liao Sheng of the Thousand Households of the Xiao Riding School stepped forward to report with his fists, and he had been monitoring the movements of the Montenegrin Army since early in the morning.

"I left in a hurry, and I withdrew a lot of baggage without bringing it."

Liao Sheng said.

Fang Xie nodded and asked Meng Ge: "Retreat, what should I do?" ”

Meng Ge's face was very heavy, and after a pause, he shook his head: "Gai Yu looks like a rude and barbaric person on the surface, but he is very delicate. What's more, there is a Han man named Bei Huaili in his army, so even if he wants to withdraw, it is impossible to be so hasty and embarrassed. ”

"If nothing else, he must have set up an ambush."

Meng Ge said: "But if you don't chase him, he will really escape." ”

Fang Xie made a gesture of please: "In this case, the Great Khan can chase after him." ”

Meng Ge's face changed: "Fang Jie, don't forget, I promised you to take 200,000 wolves to ride on the Eastern Frontier, just because you promised me to kill Gai Yu, and now you don't chase and kill him, why should I keep my promise?" ”

Fang Xie laughed: "It's just a joke, Gai Yu won't go far, he must wait for us to chase after him, his withdrawal is just an illusion." If we want him to go boldly and boldly, we must also make an illusion. ”

"What illusion?"

Möngke asked.

"Crossing the River"

Fang Xie pointed in the distance, only to see a large fleet appear from the north on the river, but it seemed that it was not a warship, but a cargo ship. ”

"Please order the Great Khan to ride the wolf across the river, as long as the wolf cavalry reaches the east bank, Gai Yu will be more relieved, and then I will transport my light cavalry to the north a hundred miles and then dock in a big boat, and take a shortcut to intercept and kill Gai Yu, which will be beyond his expectations."

Meng Ge was stunned for a moment: "You didn't say you wanted to cross the river before. ”

"In everything, you can't say it too clearly in advance, the Great Khan can't trust me, how can I trust the Great Khan? Only when the wolf of the Great Khan rode across the river did the agreement between you and me take effect. There is no need for you to worry about killing and pardoning. When I returned, I joined forces and headed for the eastern frontier. ”

Meng Ge was silent for a while: "I'm going to go and consult with my subordinate generals. ”

Fang Xie smiled: "Please"
