Chapter Ninety-Eight: Stratagem
In addition to these troops, the Buyi secret agents led by Chen Guan also expanded to 200 people, most of whom were dispatched to the various clans of the Jiegu Division, and the Jiegu clan of Chenglu and the Nado clan of Nadorand were the key monitoring targets. The other tribes, both strong and weak, sent spies.
These spies can't penetrate into the high-level of each city, but they can at least find out the dispatch of the troops of each ministry clearly. This is also an important basis for Shang Ji to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and laugh at Nadorand and Chenglu.
Chenglu headquarters, Jiegu clan, small handsome tent. Several senior members of the drum department are debating how to deal with the current situation.
"Xiaoshuai, now that the Nado clan is arrogant, colluding with several big cities such as the Gu clan, pressing step by step, we still need to think of a way, we can't let it go!" A Xianbei man dressed as a nobleman stood up, touched his chest with one hand, saluted Chenglu, and then said with a worried face.
"Yes, yes, Xiaoshuai, this Nado wolf's ambition must be guarded against!" The other Xianbei nobles in the big tent also immediately chimed in.
At the top of the table is a man with a felt hat and leather boots, and a scimitar covered with jewels hangs from his waist. There was also a scar on his face that ran through the entire face, but the fat body and fair complexion made this supposedly fierce scar look nondescript.
This person is the handsome Chenglu of the Drum Department!
Chenglu is not a simple person, he was also a fierce general in his early years, and he was a member of the Tianwolf Cavalry of Tanshi Huai's pro-army. The strength is the initial level of first-class generals.
In the Hanxian War a few years ago, Cheng Lu even beheaded many Han army generals, and was later targeted by a young general who made a halberd, and was hit hard with one move, and the terrifying scar on his face was left at that time.
Although Cheng Lu survived by luck later, he was completely discouraged because of that battle, and he had the strength of a first-class general, but he couldn't even beat an ordinary second-rate general.
Of course, there is no place for Cheng Lu in the Tan Shi Kui Janissaries, but fortunately Tan Shi Huai is not a cold-blooded person, thinking of his conscientious guard for many years, and his outstanding achievements, so he was sent to the east Xianbei to be a little handsome.
When Tan Shikui was healthy before, Cheng Lu relied on the previous incense and others did not know his reality and reality, and the position of Xiao Shuai sat as firmly as Mount Tai, but now Tan Shikui is seriously ill, and the struggle in Xianbei Dragon City is fierce, and no one is in the mood to pay attention to him as a little person. Coupled with the fact that other people have not shown their strength in line with their fame, the awe of the people in each town has greatly decreased, and the position of this little handsome man has become more and more stormy.
Cheng Lu became more and more depressed in desperation, no longer caring about other things in the tribe, and was greedy for pleasure, but in just a few years, he degenerated from a battlefield warrior into a cowardly white fat man.
Hearing the words of his subordinates, Cheng Lu also hesitated, he himself didn't think about fighting, but although he had no fighting spirit, he was not stupid after all, knowing that the Nado clan was expanding so wantonly, if it was not stopped, I am afraid it would not be long before it would really take its place.
"Why don't we wait first, and when the results in Dragon City come out, Lord Helian will succeed to the throne and ask Lord Helian to uphold justice?" Cheng Lu asked tentatively.
The Xianbei people in the tent suddenly disdained, this law is really completely abolished, this kind of thing even has to let Xianbei Dragon City administer justice.
"It's not right, it's not right!" An old-fashioned nobleman with a gray beard shook his head and vetoed his suggestion.
This person's name is Kui, he is the wise man of the Jiegu clan, known for his resourcefulness, and he is very popular with everyone in the Jiegu clan, and even Chenglu has to give him some face.
"I wonder what the wise man thinks is wrong there?" Chenglu asked.
"Let's not talk about when the Dragon City will end smoothly, even if it ends, Xiaoshuai, you must know that the hound that can't chase the prey has no value, and the worthless thing can only be abandoned in Xianbei!" Kui Kui glanced at Cheng Lu deeply and reminded.
Chenglu is not a stupid person after all, and he immediately understood when he heard the words. He originally wanted to rely on his old relationship with Helian and Tan Shikui to continue to sit in the position of Xiaoshuai after Longcheng subsided. But if by then, the Nado clan has completely defeated the Jiegu clan, and Chenglu cannot show his value, being abandoned is an inevitable result. In this regard, Chenglu is very convinced!
"I wonder what you think of Nado's reckless behavior?" Dispelling the idea of appeasement, Chenglu began to seek a solution to the Nados from the crowd.
"Xiao Shuai, I think Xiao Shuai should gather troops in the name of Xiao Shuai of the Jiegu Division, and completely eliminate them on the charge of colluding with the Han people of the Nado clan!" The Xianbei nobleman who was the first to speak spoke up.
Shang Ji and the Black Armor Army under his command are also famous in the Jiegu Department, and many Xianbei people know that this has always existed in the army, but they think that Shang Ji is really a Han rebel army accepted by the Nado clan, and they don't know the real relationship between the Nado clan and Shang Ji. In order to use the power of Shang Ji to deter the dissenting Xianbei people, Nadoland never told others the essence of Shang Ji's "listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement".
This Xianbei nobleman was just looking for a reason to start a war, who knew that he was really right unintentionally.
Chenglu's face was embarrassed, Chenglu had not dared to fight easily after being beaten, and he was afraid that he would die on the battlefield in the end, and now his subordinates asked to directly lead the army to attack the Nado clan, and Chenglu was very hesitant.
"Xiaoshuai, this move is inappropriate!" The gray-bearded Kui rejected.
"Wise man, I don't know why?" The Xianbei nobleman from before asked loudly.
"Nadoland's Nadoland is also an old fox, he is now in a league with several other big cities such as the Yu Gu clan, we rashly set up an army to fight, and they are likely to join forces to fight together. The strength of our Jiegu clan is not enough to fight against those few big cities at the same time! The young man glanced at the Xianbei nobleman and said lightly.
"I don't know if a wise man has a good plan?" Chenglu above asked.
He glanced around at everyone, touched his gray beard and said, "I don't know if you know what the Nado clan has been going through in the last few months?" ”
All the people in the big tent, you look at me, I look at you, and no one said anything. The Nado clan was still a small clan on the verge of extinction two months ago, and everyone here is a big man in the Drum Club, who is in the mood to care about his life or death.
"Two months ago, the Nado clan was cornered by the Brocade and was about to be destroyed, and the army led by the Han Gao Xiang suddenly joined the battlefield and helped the Nado clan defeat the Brocade and then join the Nado clan; Three days later, the Boke clan used the 4,000 troops in the fall of the city to fight to the death with the Nado clan, and Gao Xiang led the army to help in the battle, destroying the 200 elites of the coltan clan and defeating the coltan warriors; A month later, Gao Xiang personally led the army as the vanguard, attacked the camp of the coltan clan at night, and annexed the coltan clan. ”
"According to the information I have got, the columbic clan Zhongchang Huang died at the hands of that Han man named Gao Xiang, and he was even stabbed to death by him! Not only that, but the pro-guard team of the Columbate clan was also wiped out by the Han army! ”
As soon as he heard this, there was a commotion in the big tent. Chang Huang's strength is known to everyone, and he is one of the strongest in the entire Jie Drum Department, but he didn't expect to be killed by this inconspicuous Han man! In addition, the personal guards of the coltan clan were also a strong army of the famous Zhenjie Drum Department, but they were completely annihilated by the Han army, which really surprised everyone in the big tent.
"What does the wise man mean?" Chenglu's heart moved, looked at Kui, and asked softly.
"If you want to get rid of Nado, first destroy Gao Xiang!" Kui said in a deep voice.
"How?"
The Kui Kui first saluted Cheng Lu, and then continued unhurriedly: "Touren, the Nado clan can have today, this Han general and the army led by him have made great contributions, once this Han army is gone, the Nado clan is like a broken hand, and when we want to get rid of him, isn't it easy?" ”
"Wise man, I wonder what your plan is to get rid of this army?" Chenglu asked anxiously, for Chenglu, it is better not to fight or not to fight.
"Leader, if you want to get rid of that Han army, it's actually simple, we can start with their identity." After a pause, Kui Kui continued to explain: "That army is all Han people, our Xianbei and the Han people in the south have always been incompatible, a few years ago the emperor of the Han people also sent an army to attack the hinterland of my Xianbei, fortunately, thanks to the blessing of Changshengtian, Lord Tan Shikui was wise and martial, and defeated the Han army. But there are quite a few Xianbei people in our tribe who have been killed by the Han Chinese, and as long as we hold on to their identities, we will force Nadoland to expel this army. ”
"If Nadoland agrees to expel Gao Xiang, it will be a self-defeating arm, and it will be much easier for us to clean up in the future; If he dares to disagree, then he will stand on the enemy side of the Xianbei people, and the other big tribes that are better with Nadoland will not help him anymore. Cheng Lu stood up, took over Kui's words, and said excitedly.
Kui was robbed of the opportunity to speak, but he was not angry at all, and looked at Cheng Lu with a relieved gaze. Although it is said that the current state of military force is in a state of semi-ruin, the brain is still easy to use. With this, there is no problem in continuing to command the Jie Drum Department.
"Hahaha, handsome and wise!" He bowed his hand and congratulated.
"Handsome and wise!" Others also took advantage of the situation to pat their ass, and for a while, the big tent was full of congratulations.
"Okay, let's do it according to the attention of the wise man, send personnel to start creating momentum, and make sure that the topic of discussing Gao Xiang's identity appears in all the towns!" Cheng Lu waved his hand to stop the compliments of his subordinates, and ordered in high spirits, looking at his momentum, and even a little bit of the posture of a former warrior.
"Subordinates obey!" The leaders of the Xianbei in the tent immediately replied in unison, and then left the tent one after another, intending to carry out the order of Chenglu.
In the corner where no one noticed, a Xianbei nobleman who had just finished attending the meeting quietly beckoned a herdsman and whispered a few words in his ear, and then the herdsman quickly disappeared into the vast sea of people.
