Chapter 118 The Oriole is Behind(2/2)
Gongsun Zan's eyes turned to Ma Yue on the right and said in a narrow voice: "General Ma Yue, as Mr. Guo Tu and Shi Qi said, there will inevitably be a fierce battle tomorrow. Will our army need to go to support?"
Ma Yue asked back without answering, "Someone once said that the Xianbei was a confidant of the Han Dynasty. Do Lord Gongsun agree?"
Gongsun Zan's eyes were shocked and suspicious, not knowing what Ma Yue's question meant. After thinking about it carefully, he answered: "If there is a powerful man who is as talented as Tan Shihuai and unified the northern part of the Mobei, then the Xianbei may be a confidant of the Han Dynasty. If the royal court declines and the Xianbei tribes are in power and attacking each other, it is not worth worrying."
Ma Yue said: "Has Lord Gongsun ever thought about what would happen to the Mobei Grassland once Kuitou died?"
Gongsun Zan's heart moved and replied without thinking: "If Kuitou dies, his brother Bu Dugen will succeed the throne. However, the late Xianbei King and Lian's son Qian Man are already adults, and several tribes support him. They think there will be a fierce battle between the two, and the newly rebelled Ke Bineng, who is also an ambitious person. They may not have the intention to covet the throne. At that time, the entire Mobei grassland will likely be everywhere and fight endlessly~~"
Ma Yue said excitedly: "I am willing to kill Kuitou in one battle to promote war on the grassland and alleviate the troubles between the Han Dynasty's borders. I wonder what Lord Gongsun wants?"
As soon as Ma Yue said this, the generals under Gongsun Zan looked stunned and suspected that there was something wrong with their ears. Gongsun Zan also looked in disbelief, but Guan Jing's eyes were deep and he was falling into deep thoughts. After a while, Gongsun Zan first came back from the shock and said with a sniff: "General Ma Yue intends to kill Kuitou?"
Ma Yue said, "That's right."
"However, Kuitou is the King of Xianbei, how to kill it?"
Ma Yue said, "My intention is to use Gaoshun's army as bait to lure the Xianbei army into the ambushes. Our army's two thousand elite cavalry and Lord Gongsun's three thousand elite soldiers set up ambush in Yinfeng Canyon. We have prepared many flammable things such as hay and dead trees in the valley. Just wait for the Kuitou army to enter the valley, all the ambushing troops will come out and attack with fire, and a big thing will be accomplished."
As Ma Yue finished speaking, Gongsun Yue couldn't help laughing: "General Ma Yue was joking? If the pass was broken, the Xianbei iron cavalry would inevitably rob. How could they come to Yinfeng Canyon?"
Ma Yue smiled indifferently and did not answer.
Guan Jing suddenly looked at his eyes and replied, "Wonderful! Wonderful! This plan is very wonderful!"
"Um!?"
Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Yue and others all looked at Guan Jing, and Guan Jing smiled slightly. He said, "Gaoshun army guarded the pass for more than five days. The Xianbei army was unable to attack fiercely, and countless casualties were killed or injured. Kuitou and Xianbei soldiers must hold grudges. If Gaoshun army pretended to be defeated and left the pass, Kuitou and Xianbei soldiers would pursue them relentlessly and swear to wipe out their entire crowd and quickly. In this way, Kuitou and Xianbei soldiers could be led into Yinfeng Canyon and attacked with fire~~"
"Um~"
Gongsun Zan's expression moved and his eyebrows frowned and thoughtful.
Outside the camp, a little cadre raised his ears and listened to the conversation in the tent. Hearing this, a strange color suddenly flashed through his eyes, and quietly ordered the soldiers around him, flashed and hid in the shadow behind the tent~~
...
Ji County, Youzhou Governor's Office.
Yan Rou came to visit late at night, and Liu Yu was awakened by his slave from his sleep. He went out barefoot to change his clothes and welcomed Yan Rou into the inner room.
"Zihe passed by the mansion late at night, I wonder what's important?"
"Sir. Hidden in Gongsun Zan's army, he made a detailed return. Ma Yue and Gongsun Zan intended to set up an ambush in Yinfeng Canyon and use fire attacks to wipe out the Xianbei army in Kuitou!"
"What? Illegal the Xianbei army!" Liu Yu said in a lost voice. "Ma Butcher Ma has a great ambition, but~How can this plan succeed?"
Yan Ju said: "Ma Yue wanted to use Gao Shun's army as bait. The Xianbei people hated Gao Shun and did not understand military tactics, so they were afraid they could not escape the plot!"
"Nee~~" Liu Yu took a deep breath and said, "If things are done and Ma Yue makes another great contribution, I'm afraid it will become more and more difficult to control. What should I do?"
"My Lord, now, before the imperial edict arrives, Ma Yue is still the captain of the Wuhuan camp. When he is controlled by the Lord, he will not do it, and he will not stop~ Yes~~"
Yan Rou said this and used his hand to behead his head with a knife, and his eyes were even more murderous intent.
"Hmm!" Liu Yu said sternly, "It would be a death penalty to kill the banned officials without permission."
"The general is outside, and the king will not be able to take the order! As long as Ma Yue is killed first, it will be too late, even if the eunuch party in the court wants to protect Ma Yue, it will be too late. By then, Ma Yue is dead, can the dead still speak up for himself? What is the truth? Isn't it that the adults have the final say?"
"Even if the eunuch party doesn't believe it, and the dispute over the Golden Palace is just arguing with each other. It's hard to come to a conclusion. The lord is a descendant of the imperial family and a major minister in the court. Even if the eunuch party holds a grudge, it's impossible to do anything about it. Could it be that he can't be the lord's official position just because of Ma Yue, a traitor?"
"Um~~"
Seeing that Liu Yu's face was still hesitant, Yan Rou said anxiously: "Sir, you can't hesitate anymore. If you hesitate any more, you will miss the last chance! Once the imperial edict is passed to Youzhou, all Wuhuan of the counties will be home to Ma Yue, and Ma Yue will carry tens of thousands of people. The general situation has been completed, and it will be difficult to eliminate it again~~~"
Liu Yu said: "Even if you want to kill Ma Yue, you need an excuse~~"
Yan Ru said: "This matter is very easy. It is really a matter of being punished. Why not worry about it? As long as you catch Ma Yue, are you afraid that you will not be able to find an excuse to kill him?"
Liu Yu said: "If you want to kill Ma Yue, you must first remove his minions, but how can you cut off the tiger and wolf army under Ma Yue?"
"Ma Yue intends to wipe out the Xianbei army in Yinfeng Canyon, so we will have a mantis stalking the cicada, and the oriole is behind." Yan Rou said in a dark voice. "Sir, the subordinate has secretly ordered Qiu Liju three days ago. Su Puyan each led two thousand light cavalry to advance west from Liucheng. Now he has advanced outside Yuyang Pass. If you enter the pass from Gubeikou, the Qing cavalry can advance quickly to Yinfeng Canyon within one day. If Ma Yue, Gongsun Zan and Xianbei army are indistinguishable, Qiu Liju and Su Puyan two strange troops will emerge, and they will definitely defeat Ma Yue and Gongsun Zan's coalition forces. Ma Yue and Gongsun Zan are lucky enough to die, they will probably lose their troops and their vitality will be severely damaged."
"As long as you first destroy the tiger and wolf army under Ma Yue and Gongsun Zan, it will be much easier to deal with the two of them."
Liu Yu frowned and said, "Zihe, helping the Xianbei people attack the Han army is a death sentence. If the court pursues it, even if this official is a descendant of the imperial family, he may not be able to escape death."
Yan Ru said: "The officials have already figured out a solution to the situation. The Wuhuan and the Xianbei are of the same race, and it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish them. But if Qiu Liju and Su Puyan Qiao are the Xianbei people, even if the court wants to pursue them, there is no basis or evidence. What if it does?"
Liu Yu thought for a long time, and a ruthless look suddenly flashed through his eyes, and he said, "Well, as Zihe said, let Qiu Liju and Su Puyan enter the pass from Gubeikou. While Ma Yue, Gongsun Zan and Xianbei were fighting, he would block the killing from behind. It would be best to behead Ma Yue and Gongsun Zan on the spot."
Yan Ju said: "I'll make arrangements now~~"
...
Yinfeng Canyon, Horses Leap Camp.
Guan Hai waved his thick arms and roared, "Hehe, I can kill you this time~~"
"You are not careless!" Ma Yue said in a deep voice, "Gao Shun can block the Xianbei army with weak forces from the pass, relying on the advantage of the terrain, not the Xianbei area is vulnerable. On the contrary, the Xianbei people are still very capable of fighting. If our army abandons the natural barrier and fights with it, they will definitely be defeated. Therefore, our army should do its best in the battle of Yinfeng Canyon. In addition to Ning County, we need to leave necessary land and troops to garrison, the entire army will be put into the decisive battle. All the young and strong men in the Wuhuan clan must also go to the battlefield. This time, there is no need to reserve anything."
Pei Yuanshao reminded: "Boqi. Do you believe that Gongsun Zan too easily? If the two armies are fighting fiercely, Gongsun Zan will lead the army to retreat suddenly. The consequences will be unimaginable."
Ma Yue shook his head and said, "Wu Shaoxiu should be suspicious, so as not to hurt the harmony between the two armies because Gongsun Zan heard about it. If Gongsun Zan had this intention, why would he lead his troops to Shanggu?"
Guo Tu said in a voice: "The lower officials also thought that Lord Gongsun was sincerely coming to help, and there was no other intention. Only Liu Yu, Ji County, must be guarded! The Xianbei side troops did not knock on the gate from Macheng. At this time, the news must have reached Ji County. When Liu Yu, Yan Rou and others saw that the plan had not been completed, they would inevitably have another trick."
"Yes!" Ma Yue nodded, "Your words are reasonable, Guan Hai!"
Guan Hai thought Ma Yue was going to send him as the pioneer, so he couldn't help but feel ecstatic. He straightened his chest suddenly and said sternly: "Here!"
"Leading three hundred iron cavalry to guard the camp, and without this general's order, you are not allowed to act without permission!"
"Uh~~" Guan Hai wilted like frost-beating eggplant, and muttered with displeasure, "Why let someone stay in the camp? Someone wants to be the pioneer~~"
Ma Yue frowned and said in a deep voice: "This is a military order!"
“Woo~”
Guan Hai scratched his head and retreated in disappointment.
Ma Yue sighed and said to Guo Tu: "Punze, in addition to leaving Guan Hai's three hundred iron cavalry to remain in motion, just in case, he also needs to send more scouts to go out to investigate hundreds of miles, just like Jixian and western Liaoning. If Liu Yu wanted to plot against our army, he would definitely not use the Han army, and it would be very likely that Hu Chi or Qiu Liju would let Su Puyan's Wuhuan cavalry come to attack as Xianbei."
Guo Tu nodded and said, "What the lord said is very true. Let's make arrangements now."
"Public rule, wait."
Guo Tu just walked to the tent door, and was suddenly called by Ma Yue again, and turned around and asked, "What's the matter with the lord?"
Ma Yue said solemnly: "There are many good shooting people in the Xianbei tribe, and the scouts may be afraid of shooting and killing them. This is true for Kebi to approach Ning County. He can let the two walk together, alternating light and darkness, and be separated from each other. Even if one rider is killed, the other rider can return to report the news in time."
Guo Tu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said happily: "My wise."
When Guo Tu turned around and left, Ma Yue stood up suddenly and said aloud: "Pei Yuanshao obeyed the order!"
Pei Yuanshao took a step forward and said proudly: "The last one is here."
"Return to Ning County immediately and transport all the turbulent oil stored in the camp to Yinfeng Canyon."
"Affect the order."
"Zhou Cang."
"exist."
"Lead a thousand troops to collect flammable things such as hay, dead branches, etc., lay them in the canyon and cover them with thin sand."
"Affect the order."
Chapter completed!
