Volume 3: The Battle of the Mirror People Chapter 248 Plotting against other tribes and leaving a pretext
Send off Prince Kunmi. Iron Hammer and Ban Chao discussed: "Hei Batian returned to the Western Regions this time, not only plotting against King Shache and King Shule, but also bribing Kangju and Wusun with a lot of money, wanting to use the military of the Western Regions to control the countries of the Western Regions. Now that Wusun has reconciled with the Han Dynasty, Shache, Kangju, Qiuci and other countries pose a serious threat to Shule, Gumo and Khotan. Do I want to take down the king of Shule first, stabilize Shule, and then attack Shache, so that I can go all out to deal with Kangju, Qiuci and other countries. Kunlun smiled: "I think General Tie's strategy is very good, and you can start to carry it out." Ban Chao said: "The purpose of this operation is to stabilize Shache and Shule, and for this purpose, it is necessary to live with Kangju in the west and reject Qiuzi in the north. But don't take Douti until he openly rebels. This person is the son of the former king of Shule, and we have made him king, if we do not take it, we will leave a pretext for the black tyrant to oppose other tribes. ”
Iron Hammer and Kunlun laughed at Ban Chao's ability to adhere to the strategic decision of honesty and kindness and mental warfare under such a grim situation, and admired it in their hearts. Kunlun smiled, narrowed his eyes slightly, rubbed his temples with his hand and said: "General Tie can fight the grass and startle the snake, if Douti can repent and still protect him, if he has a ghost in his heart, he must be fast, in the whole battle situation, we must change from passive to active." Ban Chao praised: "Kunlun's smile is very good, we will do it according to the plan." In terms of Shule and Gumo, General Tie is invited to fully preside over the matter, and we will strictly prevent Shache from rebelling. The two nodded.
However, he said that the black tyrant saw that the strategy against Shache was successful, and bribed Kangju heavily, and the king of Kangju agreed, and the king of Shule was in trouble, and he was willing to raise troops to help, and he was very happy in his heart. So he and the rebel Hou Fanjia lurked in the border city of Shule Panjiao City, and accelerated the rebellion.
Hei Batian summoned Jin Tu and Fanjia Mi Shang and said, "Now the king of Shache has rebelled against me and submitted to me. Kangju also promised to help with the army. Now it is the key to rebel against King Shule, and if you try to do it, Ban Chao and others will attack Shule, and I will attack Ban Chao with the three armies of Qiuzi, Shache and Kangju, and Ban Chao will be defeated. How's the progress of the rebellion? Fanjia said: "I have been in contact with my sister many times, and Douti is increasingly dissatisfied with Cheng Tar and Hu Tou. However, Iron Hammer and others guarded the royal city very strictly, and the army in the city was in the hands of Hu Tou, and Douti only controlled a few palace guards, so it was impossible to defeat Iron Hammer and Hu Tou in Panjia City. ”
Jin Tu said: "I sent someone to disguise myself and infiltrate Panjiao City to help me raise the matter. Hei Batian shook his hand and said: "No, Panjia City is well guarded, it will be useless to send fewer people, how to sneak into the city if you send more people." It is better to invite the king of Shule to Artush, attract the Han army, and garrison the troops under Artush, and the countries of Qiuzi and Shache will march under the city, and attack inside and outside, and the Han army will be broken. Jin Tu said: "This plan is wonderful, the Han army is mostly cavalry, field warfare is its strength, siege is its shortcoming, attracting the Han army to gather and annihilate it under Artush, it is really a superior strategy." "Black Overlord said: "Jin Tu, you use your identity as a Kangju merchant to set up a grain station in this city, and hide the Black Overlord warriors to defend the city." Rebel Hou you go to Panjia City, try to rescue Douti and his guards, come to Artush, and then order the king of Douti to order the soldiers of the whole country to crusade against Cheng Tartar and Hu Tou. The two were ordered to go.
However, it was said that Iron Hammer returned to Shule Panjiao City, and summoned He Gong, Cheng Tatar, and Hu Tou to discuss whether Douti would rebel. Hu Tou said: "The city gate guard reported that the old Fanga people have often entered and exited the royal city recently, and they must have sent spies from Fanga. Cheng Tartar said: "Queen Fanli often goes out of the palace, I don't know what's going on." Recently, I have found the king and persuaded him to leave the villain, be a gentleman, and not take Ban Chao to establish him as the king's grace. As a result, he said what kind of king am I, and my brother-in-law wants to go into the city to see me, and you say that I am a rebel, and I don't know when you will say that I am a rebel. I see that the king has a deep grudge against us, and sooner or later he will kill us. "Say it with a long sigh. Hu Tou said: "When he was a child, he showed the viciousness of greed for money and lust in General Li's mansion, and he was deeply despised by General Li, and now he is the king, and he is messing around with Fanli and other harem women all day long, I am worried that he will be tempted by the Fanjia brothers and sisters, and sooner or later he will rebel." ”
Iron Hammer said: "I went to Khotan to discuss this matter with Changshi, and Ban Chao said: You can't take it if you don't mention it." In order to find out whether it really has objections, we can startle the snake. After saying that, the plan was repeated, and everyone nodded in agreement.
