While Zhao Jun was thinking hard, Wang Huaien's eyes suddenly lit up and he suggested:
"My lord, didn't you say before that if the other party didn't sell it, we would rob it?"
Zhao Jun was stunned when he heard this, nodded and said: "Yes, that's right.
But now it’s not that the other party doesn’t want to sell it, it’s that we can’t ship it out?
It’s hard for us to rob each other, right? "
It’s not that Zhao Jun is kind-hearted, he would be too embarrassed to do business with someone after doing business twice.
The main reason is that Zhao Jun does not want to get into trouble with these small and medium-sized tribes bordering Yunzhou County. There is no need to make enemies unless necessary.
After the war with the Tatars in Yunzhou County, he still had some ideas and wanted to experiment with such small and medium-sized tribes.
So I still have some concerns.
Wang Huai'en chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, I didn't let you really rob me!
Think about it, now that the troops of the Tatar Royal Court are gathering in the southern grasslands, we can't trade with them openly, but we can hide it! "
Zhao Jun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and Fan Zheng's eyes also lit up when he came to ask for help. He seemed to have thought of something, but he was not sure.
He also pricked up his ears and listened.
Zhao Jun urged: "Stop telling me, tell me quickly, how can you hide the truth?"
Wang Huaien explained: "Your Majesty, we still have to rob, not just by us unilaterally, but also by the cooperation of the other party to be robbed.
We made an agreement with the small and medium-sized tribes in advance and asked them to gather together the cattle and sheep to be traded. Then we found a time when the Tatars were not paying attention and sent a large army directly to the grassland. They unknowingly went to various tribes to steal cattle and sheep, leaving them with food for trading.
After our people left, they pretended to be a battlefield and made it look like we were robbing them. Then they complained to the royal court that they had been robbed by us.
In this way, wouldn't we be able to get the meat we need without having to be at odds with them?
As long as we cooperate well, the people in the Tartar Court won't even be able to see our tails.
Even if they knew we were the ones who robbed them, so what? We were going to fight anyway, why should we be afraid of them?
By pretending to be robbed by us, those small and medium-sized tribes can give an explanation to their superiors and clear their suspicions.
In this way, wouldn't everyone be happy? "
After Wang Huaien finished speaking, Zhao Jun immediately clapped his hands!
He praised loudly: "Good! What a good move by Wang Banban! What a trick to hide the truth from the enemy! What a trick to build a plank road openly and secretly infiltrate Chen Cang!"
Just do it! "
Fan Zheng on the side also applauded and praised: "I didn't expect that the prince is so wise and resourceful, I really admire him!"
Master Zhao Jun was naturally happy when others praised him, and he immediately laughed and said:
"Director Fan, don't underestimate Wang Banban. Wang Banban also went to the inner school and graduated with the first name in the outer court. If he were in the outer court, he would be a top scholar. How could he be an ordinary person? Comparable!"
Fan Zheng was immediately shocked. Although he was proud of being a scholar and did not pay attention to Zhao Jun's statement that he was comparable to the number one scholar in the outer dynasty, it was indeed not simple to be the number one person in the inner study hall.
Dang even clapped harder.
"Your Majesty, you are so talented, so disrespectful and disrespectful!"
Wang Huaien felt a little embarrassed after being praised by his own prince and Master Fan Zheng. He scratched his head and said shyly: "It's just some quick wit. I don't deserve such praise from the prince and Lord Fan."
Zhao Jun and Fan Zheng laughed out loud at the same time.
After laughing, everyone's expressions returned to normal again.
Zhao Jun said with a serious face: "Director Fan, it is up to you to negotiate with the small and medium-sized tribes at this time. You must make it clear to them to avoid any misunderstandings.
Although both sides are colluding, I will not just believe them stupidly. I will ask the soldiers who go to prepare a full set of equipment. If the other side dares to make any overstep, our Yunzhou Army will The soldiers will never hesitate for a moment and will fight back immediately.
The coordination between the two parties depends on you, and the stakes involved must be clearly explained to them. "
Fan Zheng immediately held up his hands and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Xiaguan Province is so powerful at this time, it will be arranged carefully and there will be no accidents!"
Zhao Jun nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, let me inform Lao Ding from the army side. At that time, we will ask our soldiers to tie red cloth strips on their arms as marks to distinguish them.
You also ask them to make a mark over there. There are too many Tatars gathering on the grassland now. I am worried that something unexpected will happen. With the mark, we can distinguish those who are the real enemies and those who are our own people. "
"I understand!"
After making these arrangements, Fan Zheng hurriedly returned to the Grain Reserve Department to make arrangements without staying in the palace.
The various Tatar merchants who quickly received the news set off again to the southern grasslands.
After the merchants told the khans of these small and medium-sized tribes about the arrangements for this matter, everyone agreed to cooperate.
So with Lang Youqing's concubine interested, this special transaction began to enter the preparation stage.
And the other side also sent his mark back.
There are not so many steps on the grassland, so on the day of the transaction, the Tatars from the cooperative tribes will wrap horsehair in a circle around the cuffs of their sheepskin jackets.
Zhao Jun also found Ding Hongguang that day, informed him of the matter, and asked him to make arrangements.
After discussion, the two finally decided to send a cavalry force of about 20,000 people and 10,000 Tatars who were good at driving these livestock to form a raiding army.
Although they were not really going to fight the Tatars, they were just acting, but after learning about this big drama, many people in the Yunzhou Army were eager to try it, and people signed up like crucian carp crossing the river.
In the end, there was no other way. With everyone's enthusiasm, half of the people came from the upper four armies and the other half from the middle two armies to form 30,000 people to carry out the robbery.
The reason why the old army and the new army should be divided equally also includes the meaning of military training.
There is obviously no major danger in this robbery operation, and it can be regarded as a training exercise for the new army.
After selecting the manpower, everyone was informed of the precautions and the necessary equipment and marks were prepared. The prepared message was sent to the other side of the grassland after Li Yi counted the cattle and sheep that needed to be brought back.
The plundering army, which had been prepared for three days, rushed out of the border of Yunzhou County in a mighty manner and rushed towards the small and medium-sized tribes on the southern grassland.
The goal of this robbery plan was planned in advance, and it happened to be able to follow the plan and avoid the troops gathering the Royal Court's army on the grassland, and make a large circle to include all the small and medium-sized tribes that wanted to trade.
Therefore, after entering the Tatar territory, the army did not hesitate and rushed directly towards the target that had been set long ago.
The first stop of this trip is the Hezhe Department. At this moment, the Hezhe Department has prepared more than 2,500 sheep and more than 500 cattle for trading.
Almost everyone in the Hezhe tribe hid in their felt tents to avoid misunderstandings. Only Hezhe Khan and more than 500 cavalrymen of the Hezhe tribe quietly waited for the arrival of the army with markings.
Three shots into the sky, the rumble of war horses galloping came from the distance.
Amidst the smoke and dust, 20,000 Yunzhou cavalry appeared on the horizon.
Hezhe Khan led the 500 cavalry of his tribe and looked at the 20,000 cavalry galloping in the distance. The solemn look in his eyes made anyone understand through his eyes how heavy his heart was now.
"Full armor cavalry!
Although the war horse is not armored, the human body is covered with skin. Judging from the speed of the war horse, the armor should not be thick, but no matter how thick it is, it is still iron armor!
I had heard before that the Hege tribe was badly defeated. This Yunzhou County was definitely not weak, but I didn’t expect it to be so strong! "
The oncoming cavalry troops were not only large in number and neatly formed, but they looked like well-trained veterans. More importantly, all of the 20,000 people were wearing armor!
Still armor!
This alone is enough to shock the Tatar cavalry of Hezhe.
After comparing the fighting prowess of the two sides, Hezhe's heart sank.
Although the two parties have made an agreement, it is unknown whether the other party will abide by the agreement because the other party is so strong.
When it comes to judging others by oneself, Hezhe Khan believes that if he has a far greater advantage than his enemy, he may not necessarily be willing to deal fairly with the other party.
This is the difference between the people of the Central Plains dynasty and the people of the grassland tribes. One is that after a long period of etiquette training, even the bad people will have certain moral concepts and know what is bad and what is good. Just look at him. It just depends on whether you are willing to do it from the good side.
But the other kind has grown up in the cruel environment of the grassland since childhood, and the only law of the grassland is nature's most naked predatory of the jungle.
This has also caused the Tatar people to have the kind of gangster mentality from the bottom of their hearts. You are weaker than me, so it is natural and reasonable for me to rob you!
It was obvious that Hezhe was judging the Yunzhou Army based on the thoughts and habits of the prairie people.
During this tense contact, Yunzhou County's 20,000 cavalry finally came to Hezhe's headquarters and stopped.
The general leading the charge was none other than Guan Ning, the veteran cavalry marshal. Naturally, such a major plundering operation required a reliable person to lead the troops.
Guan Ning is undoubtedly the person in the Yunzhou Army who has the deepest and most reliable knowledge of cavalry operations.
The war horse stopped in front of Hezhe's headquarters. Guan Ning stepped forward and showed the red cloth strip on his arm. When Hezhe Khan saw that the other party had stopped and showed the mark, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and understood that the other party He will act as agreed, and Dang even shows off the white horse mane on his arm.
The two looked at each other and nodded to each other. Hezhe raised his finger and pointed at the felt tents behind him. Guan Ning understood, and immediately waved his hand, and the mighty 20,000 cavalry began to gallop towards the felt tents again.
The war horses roared past the Hezhe cavalry, and then rushed into the felt tents and trampled on the crowd to set fires. After a while, the entire camp was in a mess.
At this time, Guan Ning raised his hand to stop the Chinese army's movements, and the army regrouped and returned to the Hezhe Department's station.
Only then did Guan Ning say: "Khan Hezhe, the rest is up to you. Our mission is completed. The infantry from behind will arrive later. They will also bring the food and grass for you. You When the time comes, just give them the cattle and sheep, and they will arrange for someone to take them back."
Hezhe also nodded and said: "Don't worry, general, we will take care of the rest."
The two nodded again, Guan Ning waved his hand, and the army moved towards the next target.
Hezhe and others stayed where they were, and suddenly took out their weapons and cut many wounds on each other, leaving themselves in a mess.
There were also people who went to the camp that had been trampled by the Yunzhou Army just now and added a few more fires, completely destroying the camp and leaving only ruins and white land.
And all this was discussed by them in advance!
Just an excuse can't hide it from the Tatar court. There must be a real accident scene.
What Guan Ning and the others did was to create a real accident scene, so as to perfectly complete this drama that filled the sky and the sea!
