Chapter 1218: Catch the Spies
Fatli was silent for a moment, and said: "King Khan, the Eastern Romans have laid a trap for us and want to cut off our retreat, if we don't find out, we will definitely suffer heavy losses, and it is possible that the whole army will be wiped out, but now we have found out in time, there is a saying in the East called 'Calculate the plan', we first sent a small number of people to escort all the captives to disguise themselves as the main force of the army and slowly advance in the direction of Constantinople in the east, to confuse the Eastern Romans, so that they think that it is the main force of our army, and most of us are really left!" If the Eastern Romans get the news, the troops staying on the Black Sea will definitely land and kill the castle, they will surround the castle, and then kill the castle from the tunnel at night, we just need to guard the tunnel in the castle, come out and kill one by one, and then use torches to notify the people hiding outside the city, they will immediately attack the Eastern Romans outside the city after seeing the signal, and when the time comes, we can kill them all! Wait until we kill all the Eastern Romans outside the city, and then block the tunnel entrance, starve the Eastern Romans inside the tunnel to death, or smoke them to death!"
When he heard this, he was greatly excited, and his face was overjoyed, and he slapped his big hand on the shoulder of Fatley and said, "Well, your brain is really good, so do it!" But what are we going to do after we destroy the Eastern Romans, a sea force? ”
"King Khan, the people who are disguised as a small part of our army brigade to escort the captives must not go too fast, and they will wreak havoc and massacre along the way, looting and burning all the villages that can be seen, what we have done before, and how we still have to do it this time, so that the Eastern Romans cannot find out that it is abnormal!" No, we have to change our plans, we can't go with the captives, it's inconvenient to act with the captives, kill all the captives, the mountains around here are full of Thracians, Slavs, Germans, Macedonians and us Bolgars, these people have long been dissatisfied with the exploitation of the Eastern Romans, we can recruit these people into the army, and a small number of us will march east with these people, looting, slaughtering and burning villages and towns along the way, taking everything that can be snatched, burning everything that can be burned, and not advancing too fast, When our main force catches up, the two armies are separated by a distance, and the army in front is used as a bait to lure out the ambushed Eastern Roman army, and when they rush out to engage the army in front of us, the main force behind us will immediately rush up and besiege the Eastern Roman army together, and they will definitely be defeated! King Khan, as long as we defeat this great army of Eastern Rome, we can march under the city of Constantinople and stick your spear in the gates! You can even storm the city and loot Constantinople to the ground! ”
Tellirig was in high spirits, as if he had seen his army storm Constantinople, and he had sat on the golden throne of Leo IV.
He said to Fatley: "Fatley, you are a wise man, you are the wisest of our Bolgars, and only a wise man can come up with such a solution, just do it according to your way, but we must first deal with the traitor Grande!" ”
Fatley nodded: "I'm going to call someone?" ”
"Good!"
Turriig and Fatli returned to the main hall of the castle with a dozen heavily armoured Bolgar warriors, while the chiefs of the tribes were still lying on the ground in a disorderly manner, snorting and sleeping, and the low tables were covered with scraps, and the bones of mutton and ox that had eaten up the meat were scattered everywhere, and the empty jars of wine fell to the ground.
Tellig looked at a tall, thin, but very sturdy middle-aged tribal leader in his thirties lying on the ground, and raised his chin at Fatli.
Fatley nodded and waved to the warriors behind him, "Tie up Grande!" ”
A dozen warriors immediately walked over, and the weapons and armor collided together with a loud sound, and the dazed Grande was set up, and a soldier brought a thick rope to tie him up and down.
Grande, who was disheveled and full of alcohol, soon woke up, and when he saw that he was tied up tightly, and then looked at so many people around him, he immediately exclaimed, "What are you doing? Why are you tying me up? Let me go, let me go! ”
The tribal leaders lying on the ground were awakened, and they stood up with sleepy eyes, and one by one they couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?" What's going on? ”
One of the chiefs asked: "King Khan, why are you tying up Grad?" Has he angered you? ”
Trylig stretched out his hand, shook his sackcloth cloak, turned and sat down on the throne, and waved his hand to the others, and the leaders of the tribes had to sit back in their places, leaving a few soldiers in the middle to watch over Grande, and the scraps of the dwarf were cold, and the wine jars and bones were not to be cleaned up.
Trilig's eyes were as sharp as eagle's eyes, and he looked at all the tribal leaders who sat down with a cold light, and said, "Grande didn't anger me, but some people say that he betrayed us all, and that he is an inner ghost planted within us by the Eastern Romans!" ”
Grande's face changed when he heard this, revealing a hint of panic, but he quickly hidden.
"Huh?"
"What?"
"It can't be!"
All the tribal leaders screamed, completely unbelieving that someone like Grande could do such a thing.
Grande shouted angrily: "King Khan, I, Grande, have always been loyal to King Khan, I am the first to elect you as the leader of King Khan, why should I betray you and betray my people?" ”
One of the tribal leaders also asked: "Yes, King Khan, we all know that Grande is brave in battle, generous to his people and subordinates, and loyal to King Khan, just take this attack on Adrianople, he is the one who has always rushed to the front, he has killed the most Eastern Romans, if he is an inner ghost planted by the Eastern Romans within us, how could the Eastern Romans allow him to kill so many people?" King Khan, I don't know who spoke ill of Grande in front of you, but if you want to say that he betrayed us and was an inner ghost planted within us by the Eastern Romans, please show me the evidence! Otherwise, we people will never agree, how can you casually listen to other people's words and suspect your brother and attack your brother? ”
Tryrig has just become the king of the Khan, and his prestige is not enough, and these tribal leaders are all veteran leaders, and they all have a large number of soldiers and horses in their hands, if they can't stabilize these people, I'm afraid that the Bolgar Khanate will be in chaos first, the last civil strife lasted for several years, and it consumed a lot of vitality within the Bolgars, and now it can't be chaotic anymore.
Tririg was silent, so many leaders stood up to protect Grande, he really couldn't do anything to Grande, if he couldn't show evidence, he would be riding a tiger.
At this time, Fatley stood up, he had to stand up, if he didn't support Trylig, then Trylig would definitely not be able to withstand the reproach of all the leaders, and in the end, Trylig would inevitably throw him out in order to give himself a step, and he would be too passive at that time.
Fatley walked up to Grande and asked, "Grande, you can not admit it, but I will let you speak!" Come on, bring people up! ”
As soon as the words fell, several soldiers walked in from the outside with a woman and a few children, and when Grande saw it, his face changed greatly, and he exclaimed, "Margaret, why are you here?" ”
Fatley said, "I invited them!" Grande, it seems that you know her and these children, I already knew that you would not admit it, because without evidence, even the King of Khan would not dare to do anything to you, after all, you are the leader of a clan! ”
Speaking of this, Fatli turned to all the tribal leaders and said, "Chiefs, you must be curious, who is this woman, and who are these children?" That's right, this woman is Grande's woman, these children are the children of the two of them, if this woman is just an ordinary woman, the point is that she is an Eastern Roman, her name is Margaret, she was a prisoner of capture when we went south to raid a few years ago, but who would know that she was deliberately snatched back by us? She was actually an agent for the Eastern Romans, and she was lucky enough to break into the interior of our Bolgars, and through her series of tricks, she captured Grande's heart and had three children with him! ”
Margaret pretended to be calm and asked, "Lord Fatley, I don't know what you're talking about, how can you casually slander a woman's innocence, how can you casually maliciously speculate on other people's purposes?" ”
Fatli didn't speak, suddenly reached out and drew the knife, only to see the knife flash, a child's left arm was cut off and fell to the ground, blood spurted out like a fountain, the child didn't seem to feel pain at first, but soon tore his throat and howled: "Wow······"
"Ah······h The tribal leaders were shocked, and some of them pointed directly at Fatli and shouted: "Fatley, what do you want to do?" ”
"My child!" Margarita cried and threw herself at the child with his severed arm, hugging him and crying.
Fatli turned his head with his big sword and glanced coldly at all the tribal leaders, and snorted coldly: "Sometimes you can't ask anything valuable without using some means!" I want to ask you to stop talking from now on, if we are betrayed, then we will all die, and whoever does not want to die, shut up from now on! ”
This kind of thing has always been rather credible than believable, and the tribal leaders all shut their mouths after thinking it through, and no one spoke again.
Although there is no clear evidence for this matter, Tellarig still believes in Fatley, he has already seen the tunnel, the tunnel obviously used a lot of manpower, and it was only recently dug up, if it is not that the Eastern Romans are preparing to recapture this fort and cut off their way back, what explanation should be made for the matter of the secret passage?
