Chapter 1156: Trickery (Part II)
After Zhuge Qingyun left with a depressed expression, Le Zhencai, who was still acting imposing just now and did not leave any room for the other party, suddenly smiled, and then quickly ordered: "Let Yelu Changlong, finish the face and rejuvenate the tiger, and the fox Daling...... They have all come to me, and they have great things to command them to do."
With the order of the Great Khan, these important people in the three parts of Saibei who were named came to their respective gasus. Several of them were not in this Yongzhou city, and they needed to send a message quickly, and then they came overnight, and it was not until three days later that these people arrived.
At this time, he gathered the crowd, and his expression was solemn and excited: "Everyone, the idea that you have been hoping for to go south and seize the Central Plains of the Han people will soon become a reality!" Look at the book
With just one sentence, all the leaders of the three Ghost Rong tribes who were sitting casually in the hall showed excitement, and they even sat up much straighter than before.
At that moment, Yelu Changlong was the first to ask loudly, "Is this true?"
"When did I tell a lie? How can such a great event be fake?" With a cold glint in his eyes, he continued, "Now I can be sure that the Viet Nam dynasty in the south no longer has the courage to fight us."
"How did the Great Khan make such a judgment?" Wanyan Chonghu also frowned and asked cautiously.
"Because just a few days ago, an envoy came to the south bank...... at that moment, he told the details of the previous negotiations with Zhuge Qingyun, and finally concluded, "At that time, I deliberately made extremely harsh demands as a temptation, and as a result, although he strongly opposed it, his attitude showed his weakness. Obviously, they really don't dare to engage us head-on, or rather, they are now afraid that the army of our three tribes in the north will suddenly cross the Yellow River and attack them.
"In this case, this is naturally the best opportunity for us, as long as we stabilize them, after getting the silver money and silk they send, we can take advantage of the situation to launch an attack to the south, and cooperate with the two lines of soldiers and horses of Jinzhou and Guanlong, and drive them to the south completely."
After listening to this analysis, everyone present showed different reactions.
There are both admired and surprised, and naturally there are inevitably those who show disapproval, such as Fox Darling.
He was one of the commanders of the Murwei Division, and he was the most straightforward and daring of men, and he really couldn't accept such a cunning approach: "Great Khan, since we have made an alliance with them, how can we go back on it? It's better not to say yes to them in the first place......
"Ahem, Foxda made you wrong. I know what you're thinking, in the past, in the northern steppes, our various departments fought back and forth, and indeed never used such means. But now it's different, we're dealing with a group of sinister Han people who are used to deceit, and who are used to going back on their word, so if you want to defeat them, you have to learn to be flexible." Don't beg to help Khan explain after a dry cough.
Only then did the others react, and they all helped to say, "That's right, the Han people have never had any integrity at all, and since we are already enemies with them, there is no need to abide by these agreements."
"Yes, and in my opinion, I can't fully believe the words of the Han envoy this time, maybe they are just trying to delay time, and after half a month, there may not be any reply."
"Yes, we can't miss this opportunity to go south! Fox Darling, we keep our promise in front of our own people, against the enemy, we don't have to do this!"
When Hu Daling heard them say this, his expression changed again, and finally he nodded and said no more.
In this way, no one raised any objections, because the current three parts of the Ghost Rong have actually been completely unified by Le Zhen, and the prestige and power of his Great Khan have really overshadowed everyone.
Therefore, after sweeping the crowd again, he solemnly spoke: "Then make a decision to go out now, within half a month, all the food and materials will be hoarded in Yongzhou, and then the forward army will enter Jizhou first, and when further news comes from the south, they will prepare to cross the river!"
Come to think of it, with the thinking of those Han people, I am afraid that they would launch a battle across the river at the same time as concluding an alliance.
Taking Mengjin will only be the beginning, even if it is Luoyang, it is impossible to satisfy the ambition of Le Zhen. What he wants is to at least fight the Huai River
, to press those Han people to the narrow area south of the Yangtze River!
At the same time, on the south bank of the Yellow River, the small city of White Horse.
Zhuge Qingyun was standing at the head of His Majesty the Emperor, carefully explaining the results of his trip and the various reactions of the other party.
Finally, he made his own judgment: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Na Lezhen must have decided that this will be our delaying tactic, which is why he opened his mouth so loudly and wanted to force us to make greater concessions."
"Well, it makes sense, and it fits their usual greedy style." Sun Ning seemed to smile, "But have you ever thought about it, maybe this greedy performance is also deliberately pretended by the other party."
"Possibly." Wen Liangyu originally wanted to say something, but at this time, seeing that the emperor expressed the doubts in his heart, he quickly followed up, "If that scorn can really annex the other two clans in a short period of time, it is absolutely impossible for him to be a reckless man.
"On the contrary, the more greedy and rude he becomes, the more he is hiding his true purpose. I'm afraid this person's plan is quite small."
"The minister also thinks that this matter should be dealt with carefully, especially the Yellow River defense line during this time." Chen Qingyun also followed, as always, focusing on stability.
Sun Ning nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at him: "What you said is good, so I plan to follow the Mengjin Ferry here, and you will lead the troops to guard it strictly. Is 20,000 men enough?"
"The Guirong people are not good at water warfare, and forcibly crossing the river and landing on the shore will inevitably be limited by the waves of the Yellow River, and ten percent of the combat power will inevitably be less than fifty percent. The ministers are mainly persistent...... Twenty thousand men are enough!" Chen Qingyun nodded immediately.
"Very good, then the other soldiers and horses, I will personally take them to Yanjin and cross the river to the north!" Sun Ning immediately made the final decision, "Didn't they think we were delaying the army? I think that when the truth is revealed, our true intentions will surely surprise them!"
Yes, from the very beginning, Sun Ning had a more ambitious and risky strategy.
Whether it is Guo Han in Jinzhou or Li Wannian in Guanlong, he is no longer regarded as a real enemy now.
The only strong enemy that can really make Sun Ning pay attention is the Ghost Rong people in the north.
Therefore, this time the sending of Zhuge Qingyun as an envoy to Hebei was not a delaying tactic, but a trick. Just so that the next act of the army will not be discovered by the enemy first.
That's why he appeared in the small city of White Horse on the edge of the Yellow River, and outside the city, tens of thousands of Dayue elites were ready to go!
