Chapter 63: The Oriole Is Behind
The next morning, Zhao Yan suddenly received a letter from Kong Moshan’s brother-in-law Liu Qing.
Liu Qing's foreign trade business is booming, and he has a huge network of relationships between Heihan and Beimeng.
The letter said that while Jiang Yangdemba came to the Great Zhou military camp, another envoy went to the Northern Mongolian military camp and asked that if Hei Khan wanted to express neutrality, Hei Khan would have to pay two thousand horses and five thousand sheep. Ergu quickly agreed and said that Hei Khan would go to Fuxian Lake on the border of Chenzhou in three days to receive the reward.
This news was said by the son of the messenger after drinking, and the source of the news was absolutely true.
"This black sweat is so shameless! He tried to make money from both countries!" Shen Tuyi said with great contempt.
Such villain behavior is not like a thing done by a country.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Yan smiled and walked to the front of the military defense map.
"According to my understanding of Ergu, he would never compromise with a small country like Hei Khan. If what I expected was, the group of Hei Khan soldiers who went to Fuxian Lake on the border of Chenzhou to collect sheep and horses would inevitably be wiped out."
"Yang Hong, I ordered you to lead 30,000 infantry soldiers to Wusha Mountain in Qingzhou immediately. This place is less than twenty miles away from the Hei Khan Military Camp, and is suitable for hiding. Shentuyi, you inform Jiangyang Denba that we will send the promised rewards to the Hei Khan Military Camp in three days. Then, you will take all our 10,000 cavalry."
"The combat effectiveness of the Black Khan soldiers is average. We should have no problem raiding 30,000 of them with 40,000 people. The goal this time is to completely destroy the 30,000 soldiers of Black Khan, bring back all their food and horses, and fight quickly and complete the task overnight. Can you do it?"
"I accept the order!" Yang Hong and Shen Tuyi bowed at the same time, and were particularly excited.
Zhao Yan said again: "I am going to lead 10,000 soldiers to Fuxian Lake. If Beimeng wants to get rid of the black sweat soldiers, he will definitely use horses and sheep as bait. Maybe we can still reap the benefits of the fisherman!"
When he heard that Zhao Yan was going to lead troops to fight, Yang Hong and Shen Tuyi looked at each other and quickly persuaded: "Your Majesty, no!"
"Your Majesty, you must not leave the military camp. Now is not the time for us to confront the Northern Mongolian Army!"
"Your Majesty, I have many soldiers in the Great Zhou Dynasty. You must not come to the enemy's territory in person!"
The two still remember that before going to the war, Xiao Jingye, Kong Moshan and Yang Xinghuai pulled them into a room and emphasized righteously that His Majesty must not be allowed to appear in the battlefield ahead!
Xiao Jingye's original words are: Your Majesty is young and energetic. Although he is quick to turn his head and is good at winning surprises, he sometimes ignores the consequences and takes risks because he is too reckless. You must stop him.
Intelligence is Zhao Yan's characteristic, and recklessness is also his characteristic.
Zhao Yan shook his head slightly and said, "I can't always stay in the military camp. And I am preparing to go to Fuxian Lake. It is not just because I am attracted by the flock of sheep and horses, but because I am preparing to destroy the majesty of Beimeng first."
"You also know that although our Great Zhou has many soldiers in this battle, our overall strength is not as good as that of Beimeng. If we destroy Hei Khan's 30,000 troops, although it can improve morale, it is far less encouraging than defeating a small army in Beimeng. Don't worry, I will never act recklessly. I cherish my life more than you."
Shen Tuyi and Yang Hong knew Zhao Yan's temper very well. Even if he had decided, eight carriages could not be brought back. With his ability to express himself, he could not convince Zhao Yan, so he no longer persuaded him and could only work hard on military arrangements.
That evening, Yang Hong led 30,000 infantry to Wusha Mountain in Qingzhou.
Currently, there are many spies in Qingzhou, and 30,000 infantrymen were divided into several groups to prevent them from being discovered.
On the evening of the second day, Zhao Yan also quietly went to Fuxian Lake with 10,000 infantrymen.
In order to ensure Zhao Yan's arrangement, Shen Tuyi specially established a 300-person guard team for him. In the escort, Yue Feipeng was the captain, Heiwa and the sharpshooter Liu Zhan were the deputy captains. Each of these 300 people had extremely strong combat power, and they were all loyal and brave men who could sacrifice their lives to protect Zhao Yan.
Shen Tuyi also specifically explained that once the Northern Mongolian was prepared, the soldiers must not fight and need to return to the camp immediately.
And at this moment, in a camp in the Black Khan Military Camp.
Jianyang Denba lay comfortably on a chair covered with animal skin blankets, and two maids stood beside him, one pouring wine for him and the other picking up food for him, which was very enjoyable.
"Alas, according to the achievements of this special envoy, after returning to China, at least one duke can be granted the title of "Duke". My Jiangyang family is about to rise!"
Jiangyangdemba convinced Dazhou, while his nephew convinced Bei Meng.
The two of them got so many benefits for black sweat with their three-inch tongue, so they were naturally extremely proud.
...
Three days later, at noon, Fuxian Lake on the border of Shenzhou.
The three thousand infantry soldiers of the black sweat came to the lakeside and were excitedly waiting for the two thousand horses and five thousand sheep that were about to be sent to Northern Mongolia.
Zhao Yan, with 10,000 Great Zhou soldiers, hid on a hillside south of the lakeside. Looking down from a high point, the situation below was clear, and there was a steep cliff in front of him.
Zhao Yan ordered the soldiers to prepare many stones and rolling wood. If there were groups of cavalry below, the stones and rolling wood would cause a large amount of damage. If the cavalry turned around, there was a lake in front and could only walk around the lake.
Step by step! Step by step!
In less than a moment, the earth shook and bursts of horse hooves came.
A leader who was responsible for accepting horses and sheep was overjoyed, but from a distance, he only saw the Northern Mongolian cavalry but no sheep.
Zhao Yan saw the most clearly when standing on the hillside, and there were 5,000 cavalrymen behind him.
The cavalry was very fast, and soon it was less than three hundred meters away from the Black Khan soldiers.
A Northern Mongolian cavalry led by the leader shouted loudly: "The black sweater, there are no sheep. I'll give you five thousand horses, do you want it?"
The Black Khan soldiers were overjoyed that the war horses were much more valuable than the sheep.
But then, the actions of the Northern Mongolian cavalry shocked them!
"Kill! No one left!" The Northern Mongolian cavalry led by the leader suddenly pulled out the long sword from his waist and shouted loudly.
For a moment, the Black Khan soldiers panicked.
They didn't expect the Northern Mongolian cavalry to kill them, so they brought very ordinary weapons and could only run towards the rear.
But how can a person with two legs be compared to a horse with four legs?
In the blink of an eye, these soldiers were caught up by the Northern Mongolian soldiers, and then they started a cruel killing like wolves entering a flock of sheep.
This was the first time Zhao Yan saw such a battle scene, and almost vomited out the lunch.
He said to Liu Zhan and Yue Feipeng on the side, "Listen to my order, when Beimeng is about to kill all the black sweaters, we will first push the stones and roll the wood, and then charge, injure less horses and more people!"
