Chapter Twenty-Three: The Black Hawk Messenger
Heinrich's face was very ugly, and he was obviously very afraid of entering another group of horse thieves alone, so he stood up and said, "Chief, this is too risky, as far as I know, horse thieves in the East have never had any reputation, and never speak of any honor. Boss, I'd like to hear your full plan, and if you can't convince me, I'd like you to allow me to say no. ”
Bai Qi smiled slightly, not angry, he understood that this is the difference between the values of the East and the West, in the values of the Easterners, questioning the orders of the superiors would be considered a great rebellion, but in the West, it is allowed to question the superiors with reason and evidence.
Bai Qi did not find it strange that Heinrich's sacrifice of life was not surprising, in the eyes of Eastern culture, it is shameful to retreat in the face of death, but in the concept of Westerners, if you face the threat of death, fear or even surrender is not shameful.
Bai Qi nodded and said: "No problem, first of all, you leave the army with the head of the yellow horse early tomorrow morning, stay near the Moon Lake, and observe the movements of the Humor horse thieves, I think, from tomorrow, the Humor people who can't wait for the wasp thieves will gradually become agitated, and the disappearance of our black eagle and the delay of the wasp thieves will make the Humors suspicious." ”
"You lurk near Moon Lake for two days, and I will continue to take the others north to set up an ambush at the bluestone mouth leading to the Mongolian steppe in the northern mountains."
"When we reach our destination, I will send you a message in the paid newsletter of the Soldier's insignia, and upon my order, you will immediately enter Black Hawk as a Black Hawk messenger, and I think that the already restless Humour horse thief will not kill you without saying a word. They want to know more than anyone what's going on. ”
"After meeting with the leader of the Humor horse thieves, you sue them. We've eliminated the Wasp Thieves, if the Humors question you. You show him the head of the yellow horse, but don't tell him the details of the battle. ”
"The head of the yellow horse is very well preserved, the Humors are easy to recognize, seeing the head of the yellow horse, I think they will not kill you, they will only interrogate you during the battle, you sue the other party, no matter what benefits the yellow horse promised them before, we are willing to pay more benefits. Our requirements are: First, ask them to give up Moon Lake, and second, we hope to continue working with the Humors. ”
"We have analyzed before that due to the particularity of the Humor horse thief tribe, Moon Lake is just a chicken rib for them, and they can't occupy it for a long time, so, if the Humor people are sensible enough, at this time. The negotiations should have been successful. ”
Heinrich asked rhetorically, "What if the Humors are not sensible enough?" ”
Bai Qi smiled and said, "If they are not rational enough, it is possible that they will refuse the cooperation you proposed before, maybe they will think that we dare not return to Moon Lake because of the heavy losses we suffered in the battle with Huang Mazi." You want to scam them, but at this time you don't panic and don't worry, if they refuse to cooperate. Then they must want to destroy us, and you are the only one who can sue them. We're going to someone, so they're definitely not going to kill you right away. Instead, they will catch you and torture you, and at this time, don't resist, don't panic, show your obedience and humility, and tell them that I have gone down to the grassland with the remnants of four hundred men, and are ready to raid their lair, and use their women and children to force them to give up Moon Lake. ”
"Sue those Mongolian horse thieves, I have only been walking for one day, and if I set off overnight, I should be able to catch up, and say that you can lead the way. Just say these words, and your mission is complete, and you can find a way to get out. ”
"I think that when I hear that I will go and raid the lair of the old and weak women and children and a few warriors left in them, those Mongolian horse thieves will definitely panic, and they will probably let you lead the way and set off overnight."
"Marching at night, there are stealth scrolls, I think, there should be no problem for you to get out, if these Mongolian horse thieves are more cautious and don't set off overnight, then they will definitely lock you up, at this critical time, the possibility of killing you, an important captive, is very small, I think with the help of the stealth scroll, you should have a great chance of escaping, isn't it?"
Heinrich thought about it for a long time, and finally nodded and accepted the seemingly extremely dangerous task.
Heinrich observed the town of Black Eagle and the camp on the shore of Moon Lake, whether it was the desertion of Black Eagle Town or the anxiety of the Mongolian horse thieves, it was similar to Bai Qi's guess, which made him a little more confident in Bai Qi's speculation.
Heinrich took a deep breath, turned around and slipped down the dunes, turned over and mounted his horse, and without hesitation, rushed out of the sand dunes and galloped towards Moon Lake, two kilometers away......
At the same time, in a valley four hundred miles northeast of Moon Lake, Bai Qi sat on a boulder, with an unfathomable smile on his face, watching the horse thieves below howl excitedly, as if they had defeated the Humore horse thieves.
When the excitement of his subordinates passed, Bai Qi waved his hand, and everyone immediately quieted down, and he said slowly: "Actually, I don't want to eliminate the Humore horse thieves, the roots of this group of Mongolian horse thieves are in the grassland, and it is impossible for them to abandon their tribe and occupy Moon Lake, so fundamentally speaking, this group of Mongolian horse thieves has no conflict of interest with us, since Huang Mazi can buy and use these Mongolian horse thieves, then why can't we?" We are much richer than Huang Mazi, if these Mongolian horse thieves can be used by us, then our Black Eagle will have half of the strength of the four great horse thieves in the Northwest Road, from now on, who else in the Northwest Road will dare to disagree? ”
Bai Qi's words once again provoked the horse thieves to scream, and the ordinary horse thieves who were mowing the grass and feeding the horses in the distance looked curiously when they heard the leader's howl, and their eyes were also flashing with excitement.
Bai Qi waved his hand, suppressed the noise of the horse thieves, and said: "So, I have sent a messenger of peace to negotiate with the Humor horse thieves, and I brought everyone here just in case those Mongolian horse thieves don't know what to do." ”
"If those Mongolian horse thieves don't know what to do, my peacemaker will become a messenger of death, and he will tell those Mongolian horse thieves that we are looking for their nest on the steppe, and these Mongolians will definitely come overnight, and we will ambush them at Qingshikou to let them know the fate of refusing my eagle flight!"
As the valley erupted in a loud cheer again, Heinrich entered the town of Black Hawk...... (To be continued......)
