Chapter 257: Bait

"In return, the grasslands have regained calm. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info" Lei Xun said.

According to the information sent back by the Military Intelligence Department, after three months of war, the small tribes on the grassland disappeared. Either it was annexed by the surrounding medium-sized tribes, or it was merged into the Tianyan tribe.

"In the entire grassland, there is now only the Tianyan tribe in the center and the eight medium-sized tribes in the surrounding areas, one each in the north and south, and three in the east and west. The Tianfeng tribe, located in the north of Youyi County, after annexing the Tianlian tribe in the west, annexed the small tribe in the east and became the only grassland tribe in the south, and its strength increased greatly. ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded, what he was concerned about now was what the grassland tribe would do next.

"Medium-sized tribes are showing signs of union?" Ouyang Shuo asked.

According to the normal strategy, it is the best choice for the medium-sized tribes to unite and work together to take out the Tianfu tribe. The problem is that although the Tianyan tribe has lost the western part of the town, it is still the largest force in the grassland, and it has been accumulating power in the grassland for a long time. If these medium-sized tribes want to make a move against the Tianyan tribe, for a while, they can't make up their minds.

"Eight medium-sized tribes, indeed have formed a loose alliance. Within the alliance, there has been a lack of action due to the lack of impetus from powerful people. On the contrary, the medium-sized tribes on the east and west sides have had a lot of friction in the process of merging small tribes, and they have formed bonds with each other. It's very difficult to get them to work together. ”

Ouyang Shuo smiled coldly, "Hey, this is the evil of human nature. Perhaps, the medium-sized tribes on the east and west sides are still paying attention to each other. ”

"The prince is wise, and there is indeed such a sign."

"The question is how do we intervene and muddy the waters again."

As one of the three giants of the Military Intelligence Department, Lei Xun has a very unique strategic vision and a very sensitive sense of intelligence. According to the detailed report, after the Tianfeng tribe annexed the small tribes in the east, the confidence within the tribe was high and the ambition swelled. Some nobles in the tribe began to turn their greedy eyes to Friendship County. ”

Ouyang Shuo's eyes were cold, and he said in a cold voice: "You mean, the idea that the Tianfeng tribe wants to fight Friendship County?" ”

"It's not impossible. You think, the bazaar outside Youyi County trades so many goods every day. Before, they were busy dealing with small tribes, so they could only obediently exchange supplies from the bazaar. Now that the annexation war is over, the predatory nature of the nomadic tribes has been re-exposed. Lei Xun calmly analyzed.

Lei Xun's intelligence opened Ouyang Shuo's train of thought, a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, he suddenly had an idea, and Sen Ran said: "In this case, let's just plan and get rid of the Tianfeng tribe, deter the Qunliao, and strongly intervene in the affairs of the grassland." You're right, the puppet is not guilty, but he is guilty. Ben Hou estimates that not only the Tianfeng tribe, but also other tribes are not at peace. ”

"But." Lei Xun hesitated, "In this way, will it cause the common hatred of the tribes of the grassland." What if they put aside their internal struggles and unite externally? ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded appreciatively and said, "Of course, this possibility cannot be ruled out. Therefore, the first thing we have to do is to sabotage their alliance and leave the other medium-sized tribes with no time to take care of it. Didn't you say that the medium-sized tribes on the east and west sides were not at odds in the first place? Arrange careful work, sow disarray between them, add fuel to their fire, and let them fight each other. ”

"Understood." Lei Xun felt that the burden on his body was heavy.

************

From November 2 to November 5, the grassland, which had just returned to calm, was noisy again.

In just a few days, five or six robberies occurred one after another on the east and west sides, in the border areas of six medium-sized tribes. The raiders are sophisticated in their methods, clear in their purpose, and leave no room for survival. None of the border herders were spared, their entire families were killed, or their cattle, sheep and livestock were looted.

Stained with blood, telling of endless desolation.

There are all kinds of indications that the murderer is crossing the border to kill people, and the spearhead is directed at the opposite tribe. The hatred within the tribe was fully mobilized, and the voices of the war came and went.

Naturally, the top brass of the tribe would not be so reckless, and they were worried that someone was deliberately sowing discord. The object of suspicion is naturally the Tianyan tribe that has been silent for three months.

They agreed that it was the Tianyan tribe who planned these series of robberies. Its purpose is naturally to destroy the medium-sized tribal alliance and resolve the crisis of extermination.

Before the high-level investigation could be clarified, the nobles of the tribe began to be assassinated, either in their own tents or in the wilderness.

All of a sudden, the wind was blowing.

At this moment, the 2nd Brigade, which was stationed in the camp in the north of the city, left the camp in the north of the city in the name of training, crossed the Friendship River with great fanfare, and disappeared.

Shortly after the departure of the Second Brigade, a large quantity of iron ore and grain was transported to the bazaar warehouse outside Youyi County. The iron ore that was inadvertently scattered sparkled the eyes of the nomads trading in the bazaar.

Tianfeng tribe, the leader of the tooth tent.

"Patriarch, this is a great opportunity, we can't hesitate any longer."

As a neighbor of Youyi County, the movements of the camps and markets in the north of the city naturally cannot be hidden from the eyes of the Tianfeng tribe. They were already ready to move, and when they got the news, they were not excited.

"Yes, patriarch, as long as you arrange a team of 1,000 people, you are guaranteed to win the bazaar."

Dari Achi sat on the top, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Use your brains, there are too many flaws in the actions of Friendship County, and it is obviously a trap. ”

"Patriarch, whether it's a trap or not, the final competition is military strength. As long as we take the bazaar, with the army of Friendship County, what can we do? Even if it's a trap, let them knock out their teeth and swallow blood. "It was the tribal general who spoke, General Huqitu, a confidant of Dari Achi.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Hu Qitu's point of view has been unanimously agreed by everyone.

Dariachi's heart moved, to say that he was not moved by the materials in the bazaar would definitely be a lie. But as a tribal leader, he considered the problem more cautiously: "What you said is not unreasonable. The problem is that in the past few days, there have been assassinations in the grassland one after another, and the mountain rain is coming, so at this time, it is not appropriate to move lightly. ”

"Patriarch, the last general thinks that it is precisely because of this that he should be more resolute and decisive, and take this opportunity to obtain a large amount of iron ore and grain in order to be invincible." Hu Qitu's attitude is resolute and loud.

Huqitu's views coincide with those of the tribal nobles.

Dari Achi sighed in his heart, and Hu Qitu's point of view was deafening, making him feel that he was not too conservative, if he wanted to dominate, it was a good thing to be cautious, but if he was too cautious, he would miss a great opportunity. (To be continued.) )
