A cavalry roared in, led by a middle-aged man with a somewhat stout body and a slight herringbone beard. A pair of triangular eyes on his round face shone coldly. At first glance, he looked like a man who was good at calculations.
He reined in his horse and stopped, looked at the people in front of him, stroked his beard and asked, "Who is coming?"
"Qin Huaidao, the Protector of the Tang Dynasty!"
Qin Huaidao said coldly, his sharp gaze like a knife locking on the opponent instantly.
"What, you are..." The other party's face changed drastically. He lost his calmness just now. A flash of panic flashed through his triangular eyes. He sat upright, tightened his grip on the reins, and asked nervously: "You just want to destroy Goguryeo. How about destroying Goguryeo?"
Qin Huaidao, the protector of the country who went to Tubo to put down the rebellion in the north?"
"Exactly!" Qin Huaidao was full of momentum.
"Then... what do you want to do when you are in the Turks? Does the Tang Dynasty want to use troops against the Turks?" The other party asked, not afraid of a person's name or the shadow of a tree.
The reason why Qin Huaidao revealed his identity was to use his reputation to suppress the other party. The effect was better than expected. Since the other party suspected that the imperial court was using troops, he would not object and said with a murderous look: "You have two choices, either you or me
Keep fighting until one side falls or surrender."
The other party said unwillingly: "Fight if you fight. The warriors of Pu Tao are not afraid of any challenge."
"Since you have made your choice, then fight." Qin Huaidao pulled his horse and looked like he was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, there are only a thousand people around you, aren't you afraid that I will kill you with all my strength?" The other party said unwillingly, with fierce flashes in his triangular eyes.
Qin Huaidao said disdainfully: "If you have the guts, send troops to chase him. Don't forget the tens of thousands of people you sent out."
"What, you've already..." The other party's face changed with anger. It only took half a day. Ten thousand people were gone after saying no. The opponent's strength was beyond imagination, but so what. Pu Tao's dignity and honor cannot be provoked. The obese
With your hands raised high, you must give the order to attack.
At this time, the previous general said in a low voice: "Sir, the other party is not panicking anymore. They are here prepared. Maybe they are deliberately irritating you, but in fact they have laid a trap, so you can send troops."
The leader of the Pu Tao tribe burst out with a flash of light in his triangular eyes, suppressed his murderous intent, stared at Qin Huaidao and shouted: "I have heard about your reputation for a long time. I admit that you are very strong, but why should I, the Pu Tao tribe, surrender?"
Qin Huaidao stared at the opponent's face, not missing any expression, and sneered: "Your tribe has at most 20,000 people who can fight. It is already surrounded by my legions. There is no need to fight. Every night, sneak attacks and arson are useless."
You won’t be able to bear it for a few days, and if you dare to come out, you will be destroyed.”
"The two major tribes, Dianhe and Nuzhi, cannot sit idly by and do nothing. They will come to support us."
"Do you believe this yourself?" Qin Huaidao asked.
The other party was stunned and didn't know how to answer the call.
Qin Huaidao then continued: "If I give part of my profits to Dianhe and join forces with Nuzhi to divide you, how many days can you hold back? To say the least, even if I lead my troops to leave, you will lose more than 13,000 people, and Dianhe will lose more than 13,000 people.
Will the Henu branch not be moved? If the two tribes join forces, you will also be destroyed."
"What on earth do you want to do?" A trace of panic flashed through the other party's triangular eyes.
Qin Huaidao, who had been paying attention to micro-expressions, keenly grasped this panic, and he became more and more sure of his guess, and said in a deep voice: "The purpose of the Tang Dynasty sending troops this time is to rescue the captives. As long as you release all the people kidnapped from the Tang Dynasty,
If you provide another 10,000 sheep and 10,000 cattle, I can withdraw my troops, otherwise, I will wait for a sneak attack tonight."
"Come if you dare." The other party shouted coldly, pulled the horse's head, and returned with a gloomy face.
Qin Huaidao did not attack, he remained motionless and his eyes were solemn.
Luo Ying couldn't help but said: "Uncle, what do you want to do if you reveal your identity?"
"The purpose of exposing my identity is to confuse the other party and make them think that the imperial court is sending troops. You can also see the situation. The other party has already believed it. This is a good thing. It will make them afraid and think that we have many people."
"Then let him surrender?" Luo Ying asked.
Qin Huaidao did not hesitate to give advice and patiently explained: "There must be a reason for the imperial court to send troops. If we don't say anything, the other side will be suspicious. In addition, if we make a request, the other side will believe that we are really willing to withdraw our troops and stop attacking."
"That makes sense. So are we really going to attack them tonight?" Luo Ying asked.
"Of course not, it's just a delaying tactic to buy time for the sneak attack on the other three small tribes tonight. Do nothing. What if they send troops to attack us?" Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically.
Luo Ying understood it as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile: "I see. I just heard it in confusion. I didn't expect that there are so many tricks in it. Uncle is awesome!"
Next to him, Zhao Long also sighed with emotion: "Young Master is very powerful. If you deliberately reveal your identity tonight, you can scare the other party from sending troops out again. Our people can give it a go and fight, deliberately revealing your identity to scare the other party and force them to surrender."
, and then put forward the terms of surrender to convince them. If we really surrender, we can capture the captured Tang people without any blood and increase our strength. This is the key, right?"
Qin Huaidao smiled and said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Zhao Long's eyes sparkled, full of admiration.
"Since you won't chase Pu Tao, let's find firewood and barbecue on the spot." Qin Huaidao said with a smile.
"That's not appropriate. What if they take the opportunity to chase them out?" Luo Ying objected.
"It doesn't matter, the more relaxed and arrogant we are, the more they think we are a bait to attract them to pursue, the less they dare to send troops, and the more they doubt our ability to kill them, this is a psychological game, believe me." Qin Huaidao explained.
Luo Ying was doubtful and saw that no one from the Pu Tao tribe came out. A lot of people were sent to patrol and guard the outside. The distance was a bit far. It would take some time to rush up and enough for everyone to evacuate. He agreed: "Okay, everyone is here.
Dismount and look for something burning to roast and eat."
The army dismounted one after another and dispersed in search of flammable objects.
After a fight and continuous running, everyone is really hungry.
After a while, several small bonfires were lit. They took out the dried meat they brought and put it on the fire to bake. When it softened a little, they ate it. Someone brought some to Qin Huaidao. Qin Huaidao was not polite, chatting and laughing with everyone, relaxing the atmosphere and preventing everyone from being nervous.
,Fear.
Soon, everyone was laughing and enjoying themselves.
This relaxation and laughter were seen by the Putao scouts, and they reported it. The top management of Putao felt more and more deceitful and did not dare to send troops, but they were unwilling to surrender.
After eating and drinking, the sky became dark.
Seeing that time was almost up, Qin Huaidao motioned for everyone to mount their horses and said with a smile: "Everyone, this trip is worthwhile. Although we failed to persuade the Putao tribe to surrender, we have a thousand people to stare at each other and not dare to move. In order to attack the three
This small tribe has won time, and it’s a great contribution. Now, let’s retreat!”
"withdraw!"
Everyone laughed and their pride was high.
If a thousand people stare at a large tribe and don't dare to move a single soldier, this can last a lifetime.
Everyone rode away and the news soon spread to Pu Tao Ya Zhang.
The high-level militants of the Pu Tao tribe could not help but call for battle and pursue pursuit, but the tribal leader did not agree. He signaled everyone to be silent, stared at the scout who came to report, and asked: "Were you in a hurry when you left?"
"Not in a hurry, very casual, and by the way, he kept laughing, as if he was laughing at me."
"Asshole, damn it, I'll take people to chop them down."
"I go!"
"I go!"
Several militants in the tent started shouting again.
The tribe leader glanced with a cold and stern triangular eye, and several people quickly fell silent. His triangular eye fell on the scout who came to report, and continued to ask: "Are you walking fast?"
"Not happy."
"Go down and keep staring."
The tribal leader waved his hands, looked around at the crowd after the other party left, and said coldly: "He laughed and left, and he didn't walk very fast. This is clearly an attempt to provoke us and chase us. The people of the Tang Dynasty are cunning and good at using tricks.
, we have to be on guard, there will definitely be a sneak attack tonight, so be careful."
"Not necessarily, what if they said that on purpose?" Someone was dissatisfied.
The tribal leader saw that he was a shaman and had a similar status, so he did not dare to get angry. He patiently explained: "The art of war in the Tang Dynasty pays attention to the virtual and the real. The virtual is the real and the real is the virtual. They deliberately say sneak attacks. It seems to remind us to take precautions. In fact, it is
They might not come, but what if I don’t take precautions and they come?”
"We can't just say a word and just take precautions every day, right? If we don't sleep and don't fight, our warriors will be too sleepy to open their eyes and too tired to lift their swords." The other party frowned and reminded.
"But what if it's really a sneak attack?" the tribe leader emphasized again.
After a while, everyone was dumbfounded.
You might as well definitely not do it. If you want to defend it, you need to have all the people on the ground, working around the clock. Under high tension, you will be exhausted and sleepy to death. It's okay for a day or two. Who can bear it every day? You can't just relax after a day or two of defense, right?
Qin Huaidao's casual words made all the top leaders of the Pu Tao tribe worried to death.
