Chapter 128 The Balance Before War
"You will understand when you see it!" Huanying handed Ye Suhe's letter to Lu Zisuan and casually asked, "Why have you been looking for the messenger for so long? We are all worried!"
"The last general went in and knew that it was more difficult to find someone in the beach than outside. His sight was all blocked by wormwood, so he had to go to the depths of the beach while blowing the bamboo whistle. He finally heard two short and one long responses, but he still couldn't see anyone, as if he couldn't see me, so we could only keep blowing bamboo. The whistle followed the sound, and the party finally met, and then he took me to his hiding place, which was a very hidden stone nest covered by the barren worm, where he led his horse and came out with the last general.
"It seems that it is not a lie that he said that he has been waiting for us for three days. I was just a little suspicious. The beach was windy and cold. How did he suffer for three days? It turned out that he was hiding in a stone nest!" Huan Ying waved his hand to Lu Zisang and said, "It's okay. You can read the letter first!"
After saying that, he also pulled out the map in the sheepskin bag and motioned Shi Feng to help unfold it together. The picture was quite large, and it had just been half expanded. It was just that he didn't look at it. At a glance, he couldn't help smiling. Shi Feng said inexplicably, "What are you laughing at, madam!"
Huanying pointed to the picture and said, "Look, this side is outlined with a blue line. Although it is not specified, it must be Ye Suhe's control area and migration area. He is afraid that we will accidentally hit the Dragon King Temple by mistake, so there is no detailed record, but the hints are self-evident."
"Oh? Really?" Shi Feng looked at the other parts and said, "This area is indeed different from other parts drawn with ink, but how can the coach be sure of Ye Suhe's territory?"
"Look down!" Huanxuan scratched his finger on the picture, "This should be our current location. You can compare it with the small picture Ye Suhe gave us before. From this location to the Blue Line area, it is about two to three days away. If Ye Suhe wants to meet us, he will definitely not choose a place that is too far and unsafe from his territory, but If it is too close, it is easy for us to find his king's account. With his current situation, he will naturally avoid direct contact with us. Otherwise, it will be extremely difficult to deal with whether he will fight or welcome him. Once the news reaches Fuli's Beirong Wangting, it will definitely put both of us in trouble.
"The last general doesn't understand!" Shi Feng sighed, "Since Ye Suhe is extremely thoughtful in all aspects and so cautious, why didn't he give us this picture at the beginning? Instead, make a small picture to attract us to meet here. Isn't it a little simple and complicated?
"It's not!" Huanying stared at the picture and shook his head and said, "The small picture is sketchy and simple, even if it falls into the hands of others, it can't explain anything, but this detailed picture can be true to the crime of Ye Suhe's rebellion, because since we can all judge Ye Suhe's intention, if Fu Li sees it, can it be clear at a glance? With Ye Suhe's caution, how can you casually give this picture to someone like Xian Gui? But fortunately, he was cautious, otherwise..."
"Otherwise we will be empty!" Before Huan Ying's words were finished, Lu Zisang interrupted.
Lu Zisang reloaded the letter and handed it back to Huan Ying. "What should I do now? Wang Ting migrates. The sentry in the whole area must be more dense than before. It's not easy for us to avoid the sentry and attack the Chinage who just pulled out the account the day before yesterday!"
"What's going on? Did Wang Ting really migrate? Shi Feng, who had not read the letter, asked puzzledly, "How can it be so coincidental? They migrate as soon as we go on an expedition?
"Because of the heavy snow!" Huanying said briefly, "This year's heavy snow came earlier than in previous years, and the snow was very fierce. We don't think anything about it, but the upper reaches of the Ochin River were generally affected by snow. In addition, there was an abnormal drought in this summer and autumn. The forage of Beirong people for the winter was not prepared enough. They also decided to move south after the heavy snow and moved to suffer. In the lesser-hit southwest, the tribes of Chaoruba and Chinag will meet.
Shi Feng was shocked, "If the three parties meet, won't we have no chance to attack?"
"Not necessarily!" Lu Zisang looked quite solemn and said in a low voice, "It is said that the three parties will meet, but the distance between them is relatively close, because they have many tribes under their accounts, and people and livestock need to occupy enough grassland. Of course, this is only their expedient measure. It is estimated that some forage can be found in areas with less snow disaster. It's a matter of time for them to maintain it for a period of time, but when it comes to attacks, the last general feels that they are still the most confident on their way to migrate!"
"General Lu is really good at breaking the machine," Huanying nodding and praised, "I also think so. Although Ye Suhe only said the date of Chinag's relocation, he also reminded us that generally, the first tribe will depart two to three days earlier than the Shuai's account, and Chinag's handsome account will be pulled out one day later than Wang Ting, but it still keeps it. His responsibility for guarding before the Wangting is as some tribes after the break. They are relatively loose and may be half a day later to three or five days or even longer than the departure time of the king's tent. The most important thing is that because they carry more materials, all tribes travel very slowly throughout the way. Sometimes they may not even be able to walk a hundred miles a day. In addition, although it is not snowing now, the weather is still not much warm, and their speed is slower, an average of about 50 miles a day.
"At such a slow speed, it is really easy for us to catch up with them by riding fast horses. However, although their migration team is long and loose, special patrols and sentries can't be underestimated at all. Ye Suhe said, especially the king's tent, in the area with a radius of nearly 50 miles, there will be constant riding patrols, one If you hit it, you will soon attract a large number of soldiers and horses. Of course, Chinagar's handsome account is needless. Patrol and soldiers and horses are absolutely indispensable. The slightly loose part is probably a song, especially those who fall behind, which are generally ordinary people, so that their migration time is not so tight, madam. Do you think what the last general said is right? Lu Zisang continued to analyze Huan Ying's words.
"It should be right!" Huan ling took a deep breath. "The problem we are facing now is how to avoid their sentry and directly bypass the Chinag or the king's tent. I think it is likely that they are only a day away, or probably only more than 50 miles apart, and in order to ensure the safety of the king's tent, the Chinag and the king's tent will be strict. Keep this distance!"
After saying that, Huan Ling waved his hand and said, "Come on, make some places. Let's study Ye Suhe's map!"
Several soldiers came forward, pulled away the waiting mounts, and spread a layer of oilcloth on the ground. Together with Shi Feng and Lu Zisong, Huan spread the sheepskin map on the oil cloth, or sit or squatted. The eyes and attention of the three people were all on the map.
"Ye Suhe said in his letter that he had special marks on the places he passed along the migration, which should be these thick circles and arrows of ink lines." Huan Ling said thoughtfully, "Ye Suhe's people waited here for three days. Counting the distance he came here, it was at least five to six days, but Chi Nage pulled out the account the day before yesterday, indicating the migration. The route was agreed early in the morning, so they must also estimate the landing point every day, so as long as we calculate the number of days according to the mileage, we can know the exact location of Chinag now.
"Why is Ye Suhe's migration not consistent with the king's account?" Shi Feng looked at the map and wondered, "It's strange that the king's tent is migrating to the southwest, but Ye Suhe's blue line area is in the east-north!"
"It's also possible that Ye Suhe has a ghost in mind and doesn't want to move with the king's tent!" Lu Zisang said, "If it's not the uneven distribution of the territory, Fu Li doesn't want Ye Suhe to share another cup of soup!"
Huanying smiled and said, "If it is the latter, it means that the King of Beirong brothers really have a gap that outsiders don't know, and I always feel that it is unlikely that Ye Suhe will take the initiative to bring up the matter of separation and migration, otherwise he will indeed have a ghost. After all, he has an appointment with us first!"
Lu Zisang also smiled, "In this way, Wang Ting's original position was also exposed. If it hadn't been for their sudden migration, it wouldn't be difficult for us to find Fu Li!"
"I should have thought that Wang Ting and Chi Nag's handsome tent would not be too far apart!" Huanying frowned and said, "In fact, sneaking up on Wang Ting is much easier and more effective than sneaking on Chinage. It is Ye Suhe who has been hesitating to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. However, on the other hand, sneaking on Wang Ting, even if it is done, may not be a good thing!"
"Why?" Lu Zisun and Shi Feng said curiously at the same time, "Isn't our main purpose to destroy Fu Li? Otherwise, why do we have to attack so far away and capture the king first? Isn't this the motto of the ancient saying?"
"It's right to capture the king first!" Huanying said lightly, "But many things are not that simple. The more I know about Beirong, the more I feel that the people of Beirong have not been at odds with the Central Plains for many years. In fact, it is not caused by one person, but by their deep-rooted concepts. Not only the people of the Central Plains, but also the Yuzi and other countries around Beirong are also suffering from the attack of Beirong. It's unspeakable, so Ye Suhe has been motionless, but he is waiting for us to fight against the troops.
"What madam means..." Shi Feng looked at Lu Zisong, and then at Huanying, still with a confused face.
Huanying looked up, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared at the sky in the distance. "Before, King Wei mentioned to me that Nie Kong suggested our expedition to achieve the effect of shocking the people of Beirong. At that time, I was still a little puzzled. I thought that if the labor expedition that stirred up the masses could not get rid of the royal court of Fu Li, it was just a blow to Chi. Nag's strength is more or less helpless, but now I suddenly feel that maybe Nie Kong's view is right. Ye Suhe's strength is not enough to replace him, but more importantly, after winning the throne of the king of Beirong, how will he control the tribes of Beirong? Although he verbally promised King Wei, he was willing to rule with peace. Guo, but we can't guarantee whether he can keep the contract, because if the three generals who control the main military power are against him, he will have to follow the opinions of the important minister. Even if we help him solve Fu Li, he may also gather the hearts of Beirong in the name of revenge. In that case, we The hatred between us and Bei Rong will not only not be eliminated, but will also become more and more fierce. On the contrary, the more fiercely we hit Fu Li's wings, which will inevitably shake some people who are guilty and timid. At this time, Ye Suhe will replace him, and many people will stand on his side - a truce to maintain his health.
