Xu Hua's heart suddenly trembled when he heard this. He didn't know what the master would ask him to do.
However, when the matter came to an end, he did not allow himself to back down. He cupped his hands and said, "No matter what the third master orders, my subordinates are willing to go through fire and water without hesitation."
Jia Cong was very satisfied with Xu Hua's attitude, so he called him to his side and gave him detailed instructions in his ear for a long time.
As Xu Hua listened, he felt more and more shocked and looked at the young master in front of him with an expression of disbelief.
This man's courage is really great. To describe it as bold is not an exaggeration at all.
"Third Master, have you thought about it, do you really want to do this? Are you sure?"
Jia Cong said firmly: "I have decided that even if you don't go, Lao Balai will bring people to find us. If you go, you will just put our responsibility on Zalim.
Let Lao Balai's anger burn on Zalim, let them have a big fight first, and we will take advantage of the chaos to attack behind. When you meet Lao Balai this time, focus on our huge wealth and say Zalim tried to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
If this plan goes well, even if we don't get two tribes, we will never lack war horses from now on. "
Xu Hua thought about it carefully for a while. Although this plan was a bit bold, it still had the possibility of success.
Seeing the confident look on Jia Cong's face, it seemed that the master had a trump card that he didn't know about.
"With your honor, I will definitely accomplish this matter and live up to the Third Master's trust."
Jia Cong nodded and sent Xu Hua away.
He took Zhang Hu, Li Biao, Qingwen, Chunxia Qiudong and others to Zhalimu's tent.
The guards monitoring his camp on the periphery did not stop him from leaving. It seemed that they were just looking at the goods.
This made Jia Cong firm up his plan, and the trace of guilt towards Zalim disappeared in an instant.
Several people came to the big tent, and Zalim was drinking with a few cronies.
Seeing Jia Cong come in, he quickly stood up to greet him, as if the previous unpleasantness had never happened.
"Boss Jia is here, please sit down quickly and let's have a drink together. Your Linhe tribute wine is really delicious."
Jia Cong smiled slightly and came to sit next to Zalimu.
"Brother Zha, just like it. I'll definitely bring you more when the caravan comes again next time."
Zarimu laughed and said, "Thank you very much, Boss Jia."
The person next to him smiled and said: "Boss Jia, let's talk about this later. You should get over this hurdle first. Old Balai is not a vegetarian. He is very precious to his son and will never give up." of."
Jia Cong said: "I'm here for this too. Brother Zha, do you want to annex Lao Balai's tribe and make your tribe stronger? If you want, when Lao Balai comes, we two If we all unite, we will definitely be able to kill Lao Balai."
Zarimu said without thinking: "This is impossible. We are of the same race. How can we kill each other? Our Taiji will not agree. You should think of other ways."
Jia Cong said: "Old Balai led troops to attack your tribe first, and you were just forced to fight back. Even if he annexes him, your Taiji will not blame you. Why not take advantage of such a good opportunity?" Woolen cloth?"
After saying these words, several of Zhalimu's cronies were somewhat moved, and they all looked at Zhalimu.
Even Zarimu was a little moved. After pondering for a long time, he still shook his head and said: "No, the losses between the two sides are too great. Even if they win, they will lose troops and generals, and their strength will be greatly reduced."
"Brother Zha, compared to Lao Balai's entire tribe, what is this loss? When you digest Lao Balai's tribe, your tribe's strength will double. By then, except for your Taiji , you are the most powerful."
"Headman, Boss Jia is right. This is really a God-given opportunity that can make our tribe stronger."
"Yes, Mr. Touhou, I also think this idea is a very good one. You can consider it."
Jia Cong took the opportunity and said: "Brother Zha, let's make some preparations in advance. Whether we do it mentally or not, we won't suffer much loss. Afterwards, I will give you 30% of the proceeds from this caravan to help you develop the tribe. I come here twice a year to trade with your tribe.”
Zarimu was really moved this time. Seeing that his cronies were also eager to give it a try, he thought about it again and again and finally nodded and agreed.
Originally, he was thinking of using Lao Balai to destroy Jia Cong's caravan and steal this batch of supplies.
The current plan is undoubtedly more beneficial to me.
Although he could only get one-third of this batch of supplies, annexing Lao Balai's tribe was the biggest benefit to him, as it could double his tribe's strength.
If you build a good relationship with Jia Cong's caravan, your tribe will grow stronger if the caravan supplies supplies.
When he becomes stronger, even Taiji will need to win over him.
"Okay, for the sake of friendship with Boss Jia, my brother will help you this time to help you get out of trouble. However, when trading with our tribe in the future, you need to give us more discounts."
Jia Cong heard the words and said with a smile: "Brother Zha, don't worry. As long as today's matter is completed, how about I come to your tribe to trade in the future and give you a 20% discount? With our caravan helping you, you will definitely become the richest in the neighborhood. The most powerful tribe.”
Zarimu laughed loudly and said: "Boss Jia, from today on, we are the most trustworthy allies. From now on, our tribe will be responsible for the safety of your caravan on the grassland."
An agreement was reached and a plan of action was drawn up.
Zalim came forward to paralyze Lao Balai, and the tribal guards attacked Lao Balai's team head-on.
Jia Cong's 200 caravan escorts went out of the city to ambush in advance, looking for opportunities to attack from both sides, and defeated Lao Balai's team in one fell swoop.
Zalimu was also thoughtful and asked Jia Cong to stay in the tribe and accompany him in his actions.
The plan is drawn up and everyone arranges it separately.
Jia Cong returned to the caravan camp, summoned all his men, and held a pre-war meeting.
"Everyone, I have convinced Zalim to join us in dealing with Lao Balai, Wang Shun, and Zhang Hu. You two will lead the two hundred guards to leave the tribe immediately and find a place five miles away to ambush and wait for the attack order."
"Your Majesty's Order!"
Wang Shun and Zhang Hu stepped forward and bowed, then turned and left.
"Li Biao, you take two good archers and sneak into Lao Balai's team, and so on..."
"My subordinates honor your orders and promise to complete the mission."
Li Biao also agreed, turned around and left the tent.
Jia Cong looked at Tie Zhu and said: "Tie Zhu, you lead the special forces team to keep an eye on all Zalim's cronies. When chaos comes, kill them without anyone noticing. Remember , don’t let anyone find out that we did it.”
Tiezhu made a military salute and said, "Yes, Third Master, I promise to complete the mission."
······
After Xu Hua left the tribe, he hurried to Lao Balai's tribe.
Lao Balai's tribe and Zalimu's tribe are two hundred miles apart, and it takes about two hours by horse.
When Xu Hua arrived at the Lao Balai tribe, they had already received the news and were about to take people out.
Lao Balai had also just received the news. He heard that his son had been killed by a caravan. He was immediately furious and summoned his men to go to Zalim's tribe.
Kill all the people in the caravan to avenge his son.
His son died in Zalim's tribe. If the old boy Zalim didn't give him an explanation, he would never let him go.
After Xu Hua explained his purpose, he was led into Lao Balai's tent.
Lao Balai said angrily: "I heard that you are from the caravan? Your caravan killed my son, and you still dare to come to me? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Xu Hua said: "Mr. Balai, your son was not killed by our caravan. Think about it, your son brought a hundred guards. How can our caravan have so many guards? How can we defeat him?"
Lao Balai frowned when he heard this. People from nearby tribes came to tell him that his son was killed by people from the caravan, so he just got angry and didn't think much about it.
Does a caravan really dare to massacre more than a hundred Mongolians on Mongolian territory?
The answer is no. No caravan would dare to do this. They are here to seek wealth, not death.
Lao Balai looked up at Xu Hua and asked in a deep voice: "You said it wasn't your caravan that killed him, so who did it? If you don't satisfy me with your explanation, I will have you killed immediately. "
Xu Hua said: "Those guards are the guards of the Zalimu people. They were sent to help us maintain order. They killed everyone and have nothing to do with our caravan.
We brought a large amount of goods this time. Zarimu was jealous and wanted to use the help of the Balai leader to get rid of us and then take our goods for himself, so he devised this conspiracy.
Our boss discovered Zalim's conspiracy and wanted to leave early, but he stopped us and prohibited us from leaving. Our boss had no choice but to find a way to send me out to ask for help from the Balai leader. "
After hearing this, Lao Balai pondered for a long time, but he couldn't tell the truth from the false. It sounded reasonable, but did Zalim really dare to kill his own son?
"How can I believe your words? Why did Zalim kill my son? Is it just to frame you?"
Xu Hua said: "Barai leader, according to our boss's analysis, Zarim killed your son and provoked you to lead troops to his tribe. Then he could suddenly attack you, wipe out your team, and annex your tribe. .
Even if Taiji comes forward, Zalim can still say that it was you who led the troops to attack his tribe first and he was forced to fight back. This is a reason that not even Taiji can blame him for. "
Old Balai took a breath when he heard this. If Zalimu really did this, he would really be in danger.
However, this is just a one-sided statement. Does Zalim really dare to do this?
"Your boss asked you to take the risk just to deliver a message, right?"
Xu Hua said: "We don't want to be harmed either. Our boss said that we are willing to cooperate with the leader to defeat Zalim and help the leader annex their tribe. We will give half of our wealth to the leader.
Our boss said that Zalim's situation has been laid. Either he will annex you, or you will annex him. At this time, it depends on who strikes first. The first strike will gain the advantage, and the second strike will suffer. "
After hearing these words, Lao Balai was a little moved.
I have a lot more troops than Zarimu. If I attack directly there, my chances of winning are very high. Once I win, the benefits will be huge.
Not only did the tribe double in size, but they were also able to eat all the caravan's goods.
The death of his son has something to do with them, and he will never let them go. If he removes them all when the time comes, he will be the final winner and the biggest beneficiary.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, you go back and tell your boss that I agree to cooperate with your caravan, but you can't go back on the supplies you promised."
"The Sword Comes"
Xu Hua said: "Don't worry, Mr. Balai. We will do business again in the future. How can we break our promise?"
After sending Xu Hua away, Lao Balai ordered two thousand cavalry and went straight to Zalim's tribe.
He planned to make a surprise attack at night so as not to make too big a move during the day and let people spread the news, which would lead to Taiji's intervention.
After he annexed Zalimu's tribe and completely settled down, even if Taiji knew about it, there would be nothing he could do.
······
At dawn the next day, a hint of fish belly white appeared in the eastern sky, and the sky gradually became brighter.
A burst of rapid horse hooves came outside the tent, the door curtain was lifted, and a whistleblower walked in.
"Reporting to the leader, Lao Balai's cavalry team was discovered five miles away. There are more than 2,000 people, and they are heading towards our tribe."
Zalimu said: "I understand, let's go down."
Everyone waited in ambush all night without rest, waiting for Lao Balai to get into his ambush.
Jia Cong said: "This old Balai, coming here at this time, obviously has no good intentions. Fortunately, we have arranged it in advance, otherwise the consequences would be really unpredictable."
Zarimu also nodded and said: "Boss Jia is right. It seems that this old Balai also wants to annex my tribe. Fortunately, he listened to Boss Jia, otherwise he would have succeeded.
The notice goes down and everyone is ready to fight. "
A few minutes later, Lao Balai was completely surrounded.
Zarimu gave an order, and the ambush personnel quickly attacked and surrounded Lao Balai's team.
When Lao Balai took a look, he saw that there were Zalim's people all around. The cavalry had lost the charging distance, and the advantage suddenly turned into a disadvantage.
He shouted: "Zalimu, you old boy really has no good intentions. You set up an ambush here early. Aren't you afraid that Taiji will ask you for guilt?"
Zarimu laughed loudly and said: "Old Balai, you probably don't have good intentions when you bring troops to my tribe at this time, right? Don't tell anyone, let me send you to Changsheng Heaven today.
Everyone, listen to my orders and kill me! "
Lao Balai didn't show any weakness and shouted: "Brothers, kill Zalim, and I will give you 40% of what you grab. Kill it for me."
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."
After several rounds of arrows, the two sides fought together.
For a time, there were shouts of killing, screams, and the sound of weapons clashing.
Lao Balai chopped down the opponent in front of him with one knife, and looked at Zarimu standing on the outside with great hatred in his heart.
He shouted to the guards around him: "Kill him and kill Zalim, and he will be promoted to a thousand households."
After speaking, he waved the big knife in his hand and killed Zarimu in the direction.
