Chapter 565: Mutual Calculations

Since ancient times, things have been expensive to leave their hometowns, but people are cheap to leave their hometowns.

Therefore, when the people of Taigu County walked out of Taigu County with bags of wheat on their backs and escorted by the grassland cavalry, everyone looked back in three steps.

Many people are already in tears.

They knew that from now on, as long as they were captured by these steppe barbarians and plundered out of the Dayu Dynasty, they might not be able to return to their homeland in this life.

Looking at these people in Taigu County, walking in a long line in the morning light, Basud's face was filled with a satisfied smile.

"This time, we not only got so much food, but we also got so many slaves by the way, which is really lucky."

"Baye Gule, you said that we are responsible for escorting these Dayu prisoners, there are so few cavalrymen, will they escape halfway?"

Yelu Xingyun said with some concern.

This time, the grassland cavalry responsible for escorting the more than 40,000 people in Taigu County actually only had more than 4,000 people.

That is to say, each steppe cavalry needs to guard ten Dayu people.

Although more than half of these people are elderly, women, and children, the number of young and middle-aged people is at least 10,000 or 20,000.

If these people choose to flee, the most they will lose is some food.

But if these people suddenly resist in the middle of the road, then this will pose a great threat to the more than 4,000 steppe cavalry.

"Humph! You're still looking too highly up on the Dayu people! โ€

Bano Gule said disapprehantly.

Looking at his disdain, Basud and Yelu Xingyun both frowned.

Because in the eyes of the two of them, such a large difference in numbers, even if they don't have any weapons, they can give it a go.

After all, compared to becoming a slave in the future, it is wise to live a life that is not as good as a pig and a dog.

"It seems that you still don't understand the reason why I even took the useless old man and the child with me!"

Baye Gule smiled coldly and said.

In the past, when the steppe tribes went south to fight the grass valley, they would only capture those young and vigorous young people and those women of appropriate age who were still able to give birth.

"I understand that you are planning to use these useless old things and children to restrain those young and strong Dayu people, this is the so-called rat trap of the Dayu people, right?"

Yelu Xingyun immediately understood the truth after being reminded by Baye Gule.

"But these old things and children will seriously slow down the advance, and if those troops of Dayu surround us at this time, won't we suffer the same?"

Basud continued.

"Looks like you still don't know what a rat thrower is."

Hearing this, the corners of Baye's mouth rose to reveal a smug look.

"Think about it, if we escort these forty or fifty thousand Dayu people all the way to the north, it will indeed attract the attention of the Dayu army, these forty or fifty thousand people are just prisoners for us, but for the troops of their Dayu Dynasty, it is not as simple as being a prisoner."

"When you speak, don't speak directly from the clouds and mountains and fog."

Basud frowned when he heard this.

"It's very simple, for those young people who have been caught by us, those old people and children are their weakness, and in the same way, these 40,000 or 50,000 Dayu people are also the weakness of Dayu's army."

Baye Gule said with a smug face.

"What's the reasoning?"

Basud still couldn't understand.

"If I were the commander of those troops of Dayu, and saw that there were only four or five thousand enemies escorting our forty or fifty thousand prisoners, I would definitely order a charge at the first time, which is clearly a battle without suspense!"

"In other words, what you said on our grassland is indeed fine, but in the Dayu Dynasty, the situation is completely different."

Baye Gule said with a look of holding a wisdom pearl.

"Why is that?"

At this point, even Yelu Xingyun couldn't understand it.

"It's very simple, because forty or fifty thousand lives are unbearable for any Dayu general."

"This ยทยทยทยทยทยท"

When Basud and Yelu Xingyun heard this, they didn't know whether to say that Baye Gule was deep in thought or that he had seen people's hearts too thoroughly.

"And now Yu Jiu Luying, their army is also coming to our side, and now at this time, we escort these forty or fifty thousand Dayu slaves to the north, which is very pitiful for the Dayu army, and it is a trap we deliberately dug."

Baye Gule added.

After listening to Baye Gule's explanation, Basud had to admire him.

"It seems that the Wolf King God is really unfair sometimes, why would he give you such a bright head?"

"Humph! The Wolf King God is fair to every steppe citizen, and although my mind is a little nimble, if we go to war, you Basud can easily kill several of me. โ€

Baye Gule rarely showed a modest attitude.

In fact, if it were in normal times, it would be impossible for Baye Gule to talk to Basud and Yelu Xingyun like this.

After all, he is extremely arrogant, and he always has the ambition to unify the grassland.

So, in the end, although Basud and Yelu Xingyun are allies with him now, they will eventually go against him.

It's just that looking at the entire grassland, there are only two people who can really make him jealous.

And one of these two people is Rouran Khan, Yu Jiu Lu Ying, and the other is Xianbei former Khan Wan Qi Haiyin.

These two people are on par with themselves in terms of strategy, strength and ambition.

However, it was fortunate for Baye Gule that Xianbei's former Khan Wan Qi Haiyin was secretly attacked by the Dayu people, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

Although he may still be alive, Baye Gule no longer takes him seriously.

Because even if he can return to the Xianbei clan safely in the future, it is impossible for him to take power again.

It is even possible that he will not even be able to save his life.

After all, he already knew what kind of person Wan Qi Yuele was.

The kind of selfish, cruel and reckless guy felt that it was impossible for his eldest brother to snatch the throne of Khan that he had so hard won.

Therefore, now Baye Gule thinks that the entire grassland tribe can only compete with the soft Yujiulu Eagle.

Just when Baye Gule was talking about the grassland heroes in his heart alone, Yu Jiulu Ying had already taken Ashina Duqing and Hu Lvfu all the way to Taigu County.

And behind them, the numerous armies of the Great Yu Domain King gnawed at them like wild dogs hunting.

"Now there are seventy or eighty thousand people in the Dayu army that is following us, wouldn't we be in our pockets when we run to Taigu County now?"

Ashina Duqing said with some concern.

"Yes, once our Dayu people are blocked in Taigu County, we can't run even if we can't run!"

Hu Lufu also thought that it was a very unwise move to enter Taigu County in such a situation where he was being pursued by the Dayu army.

"Humph! What are you two anxious about, although the direction we are moving in is Taigu County, it is true, but whether we can enter Taigu County or not depends on the situation. โ€

Yu Jiulu Eagle rode on a war horse with a high-spirited look, and the real person didn't seem to have the slightest sense of urgency to be pursued.

"What do you mean by that? We said before that we entered Taigu County to rob Taigu County's grain, but now that we are being pursued by Dayu's army, do you still want to go to Taigu County to grab a handful? โ€

Ashina Duqing frowned and looked at Yu Jiulu Yingdao.

"I did want to get some grain from Taigu County before, but now we really don't have a good chance to grab food in this situation."

"Since you know this, then why do we still go in the direction of Taigu County? This Taigu County is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and if we want to return to the grassland, we need to bypass Taigu County. โ€

Hu Rhythm Fu immediately reminded.

Among the entire grassland tribes, whether it is marching or arranging, whether it is personal bravery, or Hu Rhythm Fu, all of them are not very outstanding.

However, such a mediocre Hu Rhythm Talisman can firmly hold the position of one of the eight major clans of the Gaoche Clan, because Hu Rhythm Talisman has an ability that no one else has.

And this ability is that he can remember the terrain of all the areas he has visited.

With this ability, Hu Lu Fu can always find the best geographical location in battle.

Even when he went south to fight the grass valley, he was always able to find some trails that others didn't know.

"Yes, if we get around this Taigu County, we'll have to run a lot more!"

Ashina Duqing also echoed.

"You're all right, but this time we have to go to Taigu County if we want to wipe out these pursuing Dayu troops."

Yu Jiu Lu Ying continued to say firmly.

"Why is that?"

"It's very simple, because that guy is in Taigu County now."

Yu Jiu Luying directly stated the reason why they went to Taigu County.

"Did your people find them?"

Ashina Duqing frowned and asked, and at the same time, Hu Lufu's face was also gloomy like water.

Because so far, they have not received any news about Baye Gule entering Taigu County.

"Look at it!"

Yu Jiu Luying then handed a small note to the two of them.

"This is the news that just came from Taigu County!"

Ashina Duqing and Hu Lufu quickly took the note, and then quickly read it.

"How can this guy do such a thing! We can report it to the Wolf Court ourselves. โ€

Ashina Duqing angrily threw the note directly on the ground.

"No, didn't you see what was written on the note? That guy has directly distributed all the grain to the cavalry of their tribe, and we have no right to get it back. โ€

Although Hu Lvfu was also very angry, he still thought calmly for a while and then persuaded him.

"But let us swallow this breath like this, and I'm really unwilling."

Ashina Duqing gritted his silver teeth and creaked.

"That's why I'm going to take a detour from Taigu County!"

The smile on Yu Jiu Luying's face was still bright at this time.

"However, if we deliberately lure the Dayu army to attack Baye Gule, this is a serious violation of the prohibition of the Wolf Court, don't forget that we can't deliberately retaliate against other clans when we go south to fight Grass Valley."

Hu Rhythm Fu reminded again.

"What you two said is right, we can't lure the Dayu army to attack the cavalry of Baye Gule, but if Baye Gule and they take the initiative to attack the Dayu army, it will be a different matter!"

"But that Baye Gule is cunning like a fox on the grassland, how could he be so stupid as to take the initiative to attack the army of the Great Yu Emperor?"

Ashina Duqing felt that Yu Jiu Lu Ying was almost like a joke.

"Although Baye Gule is very shrewd, under normal circumstances, he is unlikely to take the initiative to attack the Dayu coalition army, but I believe that Baye Gule will definitely attack the Dayu army at the first time."

Yu Jiu Lu Ying said firmly.

"Why are you so sure?"

Hu Lufu still felt that what Yu Jiu Luying said was too absolute.

"What do you think a steppe wolf would do if it had caught a sheep, but suddenly noticed a pack of wild dogs suddenly appearing in front of it?"

Yu Jiu Luying asked rhetorically.

"It must be a fight with these wild dogs, so that these wild dogs know how powerful they are, so that they don't dare to covet the sheep they caught."

Hu Rhythm Fu said after a little hesitation.

"That's right, now the grain in Taigu County is like a sheep in the wolf's mouth, and the Dayu army is like a wild dog, as for Baye Gule, it is that wolf, so once Baye Gule finds out that Dayu's army is approaching in the direction where he is, he will definitely take the initiative to take action at the first time."

Yu Jiu Lu Ying made an analogy.

"Then if they really start a fight, won't we still be drawn into this battle!

Hu Lufu thought about it for a long time, and finally found a loophole in Yu Jiulu's plan. โ€

According to the rules of the Wolf Court, when the tribes went south to fight the grass valley, they could not turn a blind eye to the battles of other tribes.

"Fighting is definitely going to be fought, but if we can't fight, it makes sense to retreat, right?"

Yu Jiu Luying said while looking at Ashina Duqing and Hu Lvfu with a smile.

"But can this hide from that guy who is Pulla Gule?"

Yu Jiu Lu Ying's plan Hu Lvfu is still worried.

"Surely everything we've done can't hide from that guy in Baye Gule, but so what?"

Yu Jiu Lu Ying said indifferently.

"Even if he sues this matter to the Wolf Court, we have a way to get out of it!"

Looking at Yu Jiuluying's confident appearance, Ashina Duqing felt a little bottomless in his heart.

"Those guys in the Wolf Court are not very easy to fool, and one of us may put ourselves in it."

Hu Lvfu reminded worriedly.

"Don't worry, if they really sue me to the Wolf Court, I will take the opportunity to reveal the matter of his embezzlement of grain, so that the other tribes will inevitably be dissatisfied, and when the time comes, we will unify the caliber of all tribes. At that time, even if the wolf court was biased in favor of Bai Ye Gule, it would not help. โ€

"Originally, I was already a very smart person, but now I have found out that you Yu Jiulu Eagle is much more cunning than Zhi Baye Gule."

Ashina Duqing said with a playful face.

"Where can I be considered cunning, I just borrowed the name of all the tribes to force the big wolf to live in the court and do it fairly."

Yu Jiu Luying said with a smile.
