Chapter 562: Variables
After the establishment of the Hetao General's Office, the people of the Hetao had a rare few months of peace, not only did not have a large-scale war, but also exchanged markets with Ningxia in the Ming Dynasty, and obtained more than ten times the materials in the past, resulting in the winter of the Hetao that year, but there were not a few people who froze to death, but every household had surplus grain.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and after the beginning of the year, the situation in the Hetao began to change. First of all, there was a eunuch who claimed to be sent by the Ming court to the Hetao General's Mansion.
This eunuch of the prison army not only wantonly used the power of the people of the Hetao, but also vigorously told the bad words of the general Xu Zilong in front of the people of the Hetao, but it made the people of the Hetao quite disgusted.
Immediately afterwards, some unidentified people came from many tribes, and were respectfully led in by the leaders of the tribes. In the end, the leaders of some tribes were furious and blasted these people out, while the leaders of some tribes changed a lot, as if their minds were heavy.
Next, it was Lord Xu Zilong, the general of the Hetao who had been away from the Hetao for a winter, and returned to the Hetao with his fiancée.
But on the night of his return to the Loop, there was an outbreak of the assassination of the Mina tribe and the Beer tribe, and the siege of the Black Rock Cliff by many Mongols.
Originally, the people of Hetao thought that their leader would organize people in time to go to the rescue of Black Rock Cliff.
Unexpectedly, after seeing the beacon fire of the Black Rock Cliff, some of these leaders sighed, some were silent, and some were gloating. As for those who want to send troops, there are not many of them.
Just when the people of Hetao were strange, there was a sudden news that Xu Zilong, the general of Hetao, was going to take an army led by the Beji people to return to Ningxia and rescue King An.
For a while, this news spread like a wind above the grassland, not only did the people of Hetao not know what this meant, but even Zilong's enemies, those commanders that Zilong had seen in the Chinese military tent, were a little puzzled.
At this time, these people gathered together to discuss the news that had just been transmitted.
The first to speak was Ahig, only to hear him say: "According to the report of the spies, Xu Zilong has personally led a tribal alliance of 20,000 Beji people, and defeated the men and horses guarding the Raptor's Pit and Wazizhai!
"Hmph! The people of Ordos are really vulnerable!" Dari Achi on the side couldn't help but be sarcastic when he heard this.
Although the lord of Ordos, Mandu Gan Agulhu, and the lord of Yongshebu have a good personal relationship, and the two tribes also advance and retreat together, this small private fight is indispensable.
Ashige is now also a person from Ordos, and at this time, he was ridiculed by Dari Achi in person, and couldn't help but shoot the case, and directly scolded: "Dari Achi, what do you mean?"
"I mean what you say I mean!" said Dari Achi with a nonchalant expression, "Don't think that you can yell at me by coaxing the trust of Lord Mandu Gan Agulhu with your rhetoric, you must know that Lao Tzu is the leader of the Yongshebu tribe, the leader of the Badlai camp, and you, Ashige, are just a lost dog!"
"Thief dares!" Ahig was furious, and immediately took the case, and prepared to pounce on it, and compete with Dari Achi.
But how could Huang Yi tolerate these two people making trouble at this critical moment, he directly grabbed Ashig and said in a low voice: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan!"
Seeing that Ashige suppressed his anger slightly, he immediately said to Dari Achi: "Lord Dari Achi, you must know that this action, even our Venerable Lord, is extremely important! You don't want to give Xu Zilong a chance because of this quarrel, and make the Venerable Lord unhappy!"
Obviously, Xuanyuan Po, the Venerable Lord of the Demon Sect, has great weight here in Dari Achi, Huang Yi just brought him out, and this Dari Achi immediately kept silent, just snorted coldly and said no more.
Ashige was also pressed back to the seat by Huang Yi, and then Huang Yi said: "Everyone, now we have all benefited greatly from Duke Liu and Duke Wei, if we just let Xu Zilong run out, I'm afraid we won't have the face to go to Liu Gongdai!"
"Your Excellency!" Wei Bin also stood up anxiously and said, "I just got the news that Liu Gong has reached the final stage, and now under the siege of several armies, Ningxia City can be broken overnight! As long as Ningxia City is broken, the Hetao will lose foreign aid, and then this fat Hetao will be slaughtered by everyone!"
"This is a good feeling!" said Dari Achi with a greedy face, although Yong Shebu did not have an urgent need to rule the Hetao, it did not prevent Dari Achi from plundering the Hetao and obtaining some loot!
"It's just that now the news has leaked out somehow, how could Xu Zilong, who should still be on the Black Rock Cliff, suddenly appear outside the Black Rock Cliff at this time, and prepare to go back to rescue the Hetao with a large army?
Huang Yi also saw Wei Bin's doubts, and said directly: "The inner report on the mountain should be that this Xu Zilong should have left the Black Stone Cliff a long time ago, but Dai Qin and Jiang Tiezhu on the mountain blocked the news, so they were not discovered for a while!"
"Since this kid has run down the mountain, then we might as well follow the previous plan and go all out to attack the mountain and lay down the Black Rock Cliff as soon as possible!"
"Compared to the Black Stone Cliff now, intercepting Xu Zilong to the south is the key!" Wei Bin objected, "Liu Gong has reached the most critical time, if we let Xu Zilong go because of our negligence, I am afraid that there will be variables, which Liu Gong does not allow!"
"But on the Hetao grassland, haven't you already handed over the people of Ordos?" Dari Achi said again, "What's the use of you calling us here? If you want to intercept Xu Zilong, you should go to Lord Mandu Gan Agulhu, and ask him to send some more Ordos rangers to stop Xu Zilong!"
"Actually......" Huang Yi frowned, stood up and said, "Actually, I suspect that this mess around, as if it was going to force south, was not led by Xu Zilong himself!"
"Huh?" Wei Bin, Ashige and the others were all taken aback by Huang Yi's guess.
"Then Huang Yi, do you mean that we don't have to intercept this team?" asked Dari Achi.
"No!" Huang Yi shook his head and said with a sneer, "No matter what, we must intercept all the Hetao troops heading south, otherwise we will be sorry for Liu Gong at such a big price, right?"
On the one hand, Huang Yi smiled at Wei Bin, and Wei Bin felt a little relieved when he heard that the temporary top decision-maker of the coalition army said this.
Liu Jin paid far more than 5,000 gold this time, after all, Mandu Agulehu and the Demon Sect Lord Xuanyuan Po were not so easy to dismiss.
After paying these many costs, if Liu Jin's expected effect was not achieved, delaying the reinforcements of the Hetao, causing twists and turns in the plan to besiege Ningxia, I was afraid that when Wei Bin went back, it would be Liu Jin's skinning cramps.
At this time, Huang Yi was able to say this, which made Wei Bin, who didn't have much right to speak, feel a little at ease, and he also had some confidence in this hasty coalition army to block the Hetao army.
Hearing Huang Yi's words, Dari Achi grinned and said, "But before Wei Gongke just asked our Yongxieb people to attack the Black Stone Cliff......!
Wei Bin, who was in a better mood just now, was shattered by Dari Achi's words in an instant, and Wei Bin swore in his heart that he had really never seen a Mongol who would blackmail and extort more than Dari Achi.
This soldier needs money, and the pension costs money, so he needs to spend money to be serious. I thought that the more than 5,000 gold could be regarded as feeding the appetite of these greedy Yongshebu people, but this had just happened, and the first reaction of the leader of the Yongshebu people was not to send troops to plug the leak, but to ask for money.
If possible, Wei Bin would really rather kill this person than be constantly sucked up money by this person like a bone sucking the marrow, after all, this money is not Wei Bin's own, every time he uses it, Wei Bin can guess how he faced Liu Jin's cold face when he went back.
It's just that Wei Bin can't do this, so he can only hold back the anger in his heart, and look at Huang Yi for help, wanting this temporary decision-maker who seems to be easier to talk to stand up and administer justice for himself.
Huang Yi heard that Dari Achi was asking for money again, but he didn't stop it, just picked up the teacup and drank it contentedly.
After receiving Wei Bin's gaze for help, he put down the teacup and then coughed lightly and said, "Snipe Xu Zilong, I have more reliable candidates and the army!"
As he spoke, he clapped his hands lightly, and then said, "Morrigan, you can come in!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw a Mongolian, who looked like a scholar, slowly walking in from outside the Chinese military tent.
After this person came in, he also ignored others, just saluted Huang Yi, and the etiquette he gave was also quite interesting, not like the ordinary etiquette of superiors and subordinates, but like a kind of etiquette between the same door.
It's just that the Mongolian etiquette is casual, and Ashige, Dari Achi and others naturally didn't see it, but only Wei Bin saw it.
But Wei Bin was thinking that Huang Yi could send people as soon as possible to plug the leak, and not let go of the soldiers of the Hetao to go south, so naturally he didn't care about this.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this Mo Rigen is one of the disciples of the Venerable Lord!" Huang Yi proudly introduced, "Although his martial arts may only be average, there are many of you here who can surpass him! But in order to deal with Xu Zilong and repay the gift of Duke Liu, the Venerable Lord handed over a secret armed force that he had carefully trained to Mo Rigen and ordered him to bring it over! With this secret armed force, I will keep Xu Zilong unable to get out of the Hetao!"
