"Lord, good news from the front line. General Wang Dangzhi has won a great victory. Our army has lost 30,000 soldiers, beheaded 60,000 Dongyi troops, and captured 80,000 prisoners!"
"Okay!" When the news came, even Wang Yu had to applaud Wang Dangzhi.
After this battle, the possibility of Dongyi soldiers and horses to compete head-on with Wang Yu and the Zhendong Army Group was basically cut off.
"In addition, General Chu Qingtian captured Dongyi General Yelu Lei."
With so many prisoners captured in this battle, there was naturally no shortage of general-level figures, but this one's status among Dongyi was too important, far beyond what the other captured generals could compare to.
"What!" Wang Yu, Zhuge Liang, and Yao Guangxiao were obviously stunned after hearing the news, and even stood up from the ground.
"Congratulations, my lord, my lord is blessed with great blessings!" Zhuge Liang and Yao Guangxiao both paid their respects.
He really sent pillows when he was sleepy. They had just established a small Dongyi court, just like the Puppet Manchukuo court established in the Northeast in modern times. They used barbarians to control barbarians. Chu Qingtian directly sent such a big assist.
Yelu Lei, this person is definitely a top figure among Dongyi.
Yelulei, the King of Dongyi Nanyuan, was a top real power before Dongyi was divided. He was one of the most prestigious and powerful generals in the Dongyi military.
It can be said that Yelulei has no intention of competing for the position of the leader of Dongyi Kingdom. Otherwise, with the power and strength he had at the beginning, he must be one of the remaining forces in Dongyi.
The reason why Yelu Abaoji was able to stand out after the split of Dongyi and even become the strongest among the three major Dongyi forces is, on the one hand, indeed inseparable from his personal ability. On the other hand, it was Yelu Abaoji who finally won Yelu Lei's support.
A large part of the reason why generals such as Gatlin and Ter were willing to defect to Yelu Abaoji was because Yelu Lei was persuaded by Yelu Abaoji. It was because Yelu Lei, a powerful figure in the Dongyi military, decided to defect to Yelu Abaoji.
To be honest, the news that Chu Qingtian captured Yelu Lei brought Wang Yu as much shock as the previous one when Wang Dangzhi directly won such a big battle.
If this person can be used for his own use, no matter what method is used to force this person to be used for his own use, the small court of Dongyi will be stabilized in Dongyi in the shortest time.
"My lord, Yelu Abaoji must be afraid of the prestige of old General Yelu Lei in the army, so he did this to kill with a borrowed knife!" Yao Guangxiao said plausibly.
Internally, as long as they can force the other party to use Yelu Lei under their control, the small Dongyi court can be completely stabilized. After they captured Xiping Dao and had a stable Dongyi small court, they would have the capital to gradually encroach on the remaining four Dao.
After all, as long as there is a small Dongyi court, it is not an invasion for them, but asking to help Yelu Qingde quell the civil strife is doing good things and showing the courage of a great country.
Externally, with the help of Yelu Lei's capture, they can use this to destabilize Yelu Abaoji internally. It should be noted that more than half of the credit for Yelu Abaoji being able to get to where he is today comes from Yelu Lei, and half of the power of Yelu Abaoji's men was also brought about by Yelu Lei after he fell to him.
As a monarch, even if he knew that Yelu Lei had no intention of becoming the Lord of Dongyi, how could he be reassured when he had such a number one person under his command?
If a rebellious person is capable and valuable, as long as he does not have enough strength to threaten his position, he can still use it. At worst, he will wait until the other party is about to have the ability to threaten him or the other party will lose use. It's time to kill the donkey.
As for those who are loyal, even if they are really loyal and know that they will not rebel, as long as the other party has power in their hands that can threaten them, they must be removed at the appropriate time.
These are the normal thoughts of a monarch. After all, any monarch who stabilizes his rule simply relies on the loyalty of his subordinates. The human heart is always the most uncontrollable thing.
The more he thought about it, Yao Guangxiao actually had an idea for the first time, "Damn it, you're not going to get what I said, right?"
Not only Yao Guangxiao, but also Wang Yu and Zhuge Liang secretly made such speculations.
Of course, speculation is just speculation, and they cannot have any evidence. However, this does not prevent them from taking the opportunity to discredit Yelu Abaoji. With Yelu Lei's prestige in the Dongyi Army, and in addition, a large part of the generals and troops under Yelu Abaoji are related to Yelu Lei. Yes, as long as this public opinion is created well, people under Yelu Abaoji will definitely be shaken.
With Yelu Abaoji's ability, this method may not be able to kill him directly, but it is still possible to give him a strong hindrance. And in this kind of battle, Yelu Abaoji was hindered, which in itself was the greatest help to Wang Yu.
In fact, Yao Guangxiao casually mentioned a plan and he guessed it right. The reason why Yelu Lei was captured by Chu Qingtian really had something to do with Yelu Abaoji.
Of course, Yelu Abaoji is afraid of Yelu Lei. After all, half of the people under you are actually the subordinates of another person. Another person's orders are almost more useful than your orders. If you were in Yelu Abaoji's position, Will it be comfortable in this position? Wouldn't you try to get rid of this person?
Yelu Abaoji originally didn't have the time to think so much, but Kratos helped Yelu Abaoji bring out the most important generals one by one, so that Yelu Abaoji could have the time to think wildly!
Of course, Yelu Abaoji would not want to let Yelu Lei be captured alive by the Zhendong Army. Isn't this a trap for himself? What Yelu Abaoji wanted from the beginning was to let Yelu Lei fall gloriously in this battle, and Yelu Lei fell into the hands of the Zhendong Army. If he used some tricks, he would be able to arouse the soldiers' mourning. Heart, it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
But the plan depends on the people, and the success depends on the sky. The Zhendong Army would not have thought that Kratos would suddenly kill him at this time, and Yelu Abaoji certainly would not have thought that Chu Qingtian was so sensitive to bows and arrows.
As a warrior who has lived in the mountains and forests since childhood, Chu Qingtian has developed the fighting intuition of a beast. When the two sharpshooters hidden in the dark let go of the bow strings in their hands, Chu Qingtian relied on his fighting instinct to Discovered their location and subconsciously took action.
However, when these two people aimed at the target, it was not Chu Qingtian, but Yelu Lei. However, the two of them unintentionally showed a hint of murderous intent towards Chu Qingtian while aiming, and were eventually noticed by the sensitive Chu Qingtian.
