Chapter six hundred and ninety-ninth decision

"King, our army's ranger crossed the Dazhi and probed the grassland in the north of the Chingbei, but no abnormal movement was found yet."

“Where is the sentry area?”

"Please look here, lord..."

In the big tent, King Yuwen Weigan of Chu was studying the enemy situation with his assistant. Now it was spring. He had to be wary of the Eastern Turks in the north of the Ji River to send troops south to haunt the official army fortresses in the grasslands of the south of the Ji River, and be wary of the other party's haunt railway construction sites.

The official army cavalry went to the north of Ji to bring back the front line information to the rear, but Yuwen Weigan did not rush to make a judgment after obtaining the information.

My father taught him that the whistle detective is the head coach's eyes and ears, but he is easily deceived by the enemy by blinding the whistle detective. Therefore, as the head coach, he should be skeptical of the information brought back by the whistle detective.

It is not that you suspect that the detective is lying, but that you should beware of the detective being deceived without knowing it, but that you mislead your own judgment.

So after getting the information, I have to ask a few more "whys".

The general of the whistle cavalry was waiting outside the tent, and Yuwen Weigan asked him to come in and asked some questions in person.

There were three people coming, one of whom was strong and Kong Wu was powerful. He knew at a glance that he was a good cavalryman, but he was a graduate of the military academy. He led the cavalry into the grassland many times and made many contributions.

Now he is a lieutenant, with his surname Yuchi and his name is Rong, and he is known as "Jingde".

When Yuwen Weigan heard the surname "Yuchi", he couldn't help but look at the other party a few more times. He was the second son of the queen, and his mother's family was the Yuchi family, but he was a traitor.

There are many people with the same surname in the world. The surname Yuchi does not mean that the other party is his mother clan, and his mother clan is over thirty years ago.

"Personnel Yuchi, you went deep into the grasslands in the north of the river. I want to hear your experience."

Yuchi Jingde heard the words and deeds, and then began to introduce his experiences of the sentry detectives and his subordinates.

Yuwen Weigan has been in charge of Lingnan for many years and has accumulated rich military experience. Although the combat methods in the Lingnan West Road area are different from those in the grassland, the principles are the same.

To understand the enemy situation, you must send out detailed tricks and whistle detectives to investigate the opponent's reality.

So, the many sent-out detectives will bring back a lot of news, and the messages may be contradictory or even completely opposite. How should the coach judge?

This is a science, and there are related courses in the military academy. Although Yuwen Weigan has never attended the military academy, he has his father's teachings. In addition, he has been guarding Lingnan West Road for many years and has developed his experience, so he asks questions very carefully now.

Yuchi Jingde answered one by one, gradually putting aside his contempt for this vassal king.

He used to think that these spoiled vassal kings were simply because of their good backgrounds. Even if they led troops to fight, they were just a name. The actual handling of military affairs and combat command had to be done by the chief and assistant officials.

Now when I look at it, the King of Chu feels a little capable, not an embroidered pillow: it looks good on the face, but it is full of grass in his belly.

Then I thought, when the son fought for many years before he became emperor, he was said to be undefeated. As the saying goes, "a tiger father has no dog son". As long as he is carefully cultivated, the son he taught should not be much inferior.

Yuchi Jingde's comrade made an addition. Yuwen Weigan looked at the map and pondered for a moment. After asking, "In other words, there seems to be no abnormal movements on the Eastern Turks, but it is possible to make small moves elsewhere?"

Yuchi Jingde replied: "Return to the king, I think it is very likely."

"Well...Low...Luo Khan made a major decision not long after he succeeded to the throne. He always had to give an explanation..." Yuwen Weigan murmured to himself, getting up and walking back and forth.

"He is dependent on the debt, and many of the debt-ridden tribes are naturally grateful. However, some nobles lend money and make money in cooperation with Hanhai Company. The interests of these people are damaged. Duluo Khan either kills these people or finds ways to compensate..."

"You have heard of the news, but you didn't say that Chu Luo Khan had eliminated dissidents on a large scale, you can imagine... "

When Yuchi Jingde saw this person walking around, he actually wanted to make suggestions:

It would be better to take the initiative and send elite cavalry to the grasslands in Jibei to scare the opponent, so that Chuluo Khan thought that the Zhou army was going to fight north, and even if he had any idea before, he would have to give up his thoughts and concentrate on guarding the south.

Yuchi Jingde thought so, but he didn't say it out, because he didn't know what kind of character of the King of Chu was. If the other party was a person who was competing for credit and scapegoating and was unscrupulous, it would be better.

But Yuwen Weigan sat down again and said, "What is Chuluo Khan thinking? We can't know what the other party has conspiracy and tricks. We can't even think of it here. Instead of using calmness to control it..."

"Captain Yuchi, if I ask you to bring elite cavalry to the grasslands in the north of the river to scare them, let Chuluo Khan put away his thoughts and be wholeheartedly guarding the south, would you dare to go?"

The opportunity to make great contributions has come, but Yuchi Jingde knew that this behavior had a serious hidden danger. If he did not lay the foundation in advance, he would easily be in trouble.

He asked tentatively: "Master, is this considered arbitrary attack on the border?"

"Good border provocation?" Yuwen Weigan was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Yuchi Jingde, his eyes became more exciting.

This lieutenant looks thick and thin, not a reckless man... Interesting, interesting...

Yuwen Weigan thought so, and then laughed: "Don't worry, I will formally order you to go to the Explosion of the Libei Survey. Anything that happened during this period was a provocation of trouble by the other party. If the court blamed it, I will naturally give an explanation."

Now it was Yuchi Jingde's turn to sigh: So bold, or fearless?

He has heard of the identity of the King of Chu. This is the younger brother of the current crown prince and the second son of the queen. I think the emperor prefers him, and even if he makes a big mistake, he will not be unlucky.

Of course, this does not mean that the King of Chu will be safe after the disaster, and the assistant officer will be spared.

If Luo Khan gets angry this time, he will lead a large army to the south. In this way, the charge of "unleashing border provocation" will be extremely serious. At that time, the wealthy merchants and powerful people in the border areas will clamor and the parties involved will be in trouble.

Such risks exist. However, Yuchi Jingde stayed in Fengzhou for a while and found that the wealthy merchants engaged in border trade not only did not tend to be stingy, but were more like starving a group of hungry wolves in the Eastern Turks.

The powerful people from the border areas are looking forward to using force against the Eastern Turks. The strong people who grab territory are very strong. The managers and shopkeepers of Hanhai Company are not afraid of trouble...

Therefore, he felt that the opportunity to make great contributions was right in front of him. Since this vassal king was also brave, there was nothing to hesitate about.

Yuchi Jingde immediately replied: "I will go to Jibei again and turn the place upside down!"

"Very good..." Yuwen Weigan nodded, thought for a while and said, "You are a captain, and your troops are limited..."

"If you lead fewer troops, you can't chew a tough bone. If you lead too many troops, it's not a sentry detective, but a deliberate provocation without permission. At that time, the Privy Council and the Ministry of War will not be reasonable..."

Yuwen Weigan came to the grassland to work as a supervisor, but in fact he was in charge of multiple missions to prevent the Eastern Turks from invading the south. Therefore, he had the right to act cheaply, but once the system was violated, it would always be troublesome to deal with the aftermath of the incident.

But he quickly came up with a solution: "Well, I am dispatched to you with your military post. The procuratorate will not be admitted at night. I am also a captain. How about double the strength?"
