When Wanyan Khan saw the letter in his hand, he tore it into pieces and threw it on the ground, but the content of the letter spread quickly.
The Chu State betrayed their trust and even killed their eldest prince. He was truly a villain!
This is what everyone in the Wanyan Department thinks.
When the third prince and the fourth prince heard the news, they walked into the big tent and knelt down and said, "Father!"
Wanyan Khan said in a deep voice: "You all know?"
The third prince said: "Father Khan! The Chu State has betrayed its trust and sent troops to attack our grassland while our grassland is attacking the Zhou State. It takes advantage of the emptiness in the east to attack our grassland! The boy asked his father Khan to put the war with the Zhou State on hold for the time being. The first thing is to defeat the Chu State's attack."
The invading enemy has entered our grassland!"
When Wanyan Khan heard the third prince's words, he remembered the contents of the letter and fell into deep thought.
When the fourth prince saw that Wanyan Khan was silent, he said anxiously: "Father Khan! Now that the Chu people are coming to ride on us, do you still want to hesitate?!"
Wanyan Khan still did not speak.
He was thinking about something important.
The wise king is not that kind of fatuous and incompetent ruler. His sending troops shows that he has planned it for a long time. There are inns along the way for the government to deliver news. It is an eight hundred-mile rush. From the capital to the border, there will be several stops in between.
horse.
But there is no such inn in Chu State in their grassland.
In other words, the news that Chu State sent troops to their grassland came directly through the border defense troops stationed in the grassland and Chu State by Wanyan Department.
But if his eldest prince died in the capital of Chu, the news would definitely be delivered to him half a day or a day later than the news that Chu sent troops to their grassland.
But these two pieces of news were delivered to him in one letter.
When the war started, the Chu people deliberately sent over the news that they had killed the eldest prince. It was even possible that before the wise king killed the eldest prince, they sent the news of Hufu and the death of the eldest prince to the border gate, and deliberately spread it to inform
Steppe Border Guard Army.
Only in this way can these two pieces of news be delivered to him together.
The wise king wanted to make himself confused after hearing the news and lead his troops back for reinforcements without thinking because of family ties. In this case, the pressure on the Zhou State would be greatly reduced, and the Zhou State army might rush out of the pass at any time.
, formed an encirclement with the Chu army, and attacked their grassland from both sides!
What a good plan!
Just now, he tore up the letter sent by Wanyan Department out of anger, and almost ordered the army to return for reinforcements hastily.
Fortunately it didn't get completely out of control.
He is the khan of the grassland, and secondly a father. The vast grassland is under his control, how can he be so self-defeating?!
In this case, if he wanted to take advantage of the intelligence gap brought about by time to defeat the grassland, how could he possibly do what the wise king wanted?
Thinking of this, Wanyan Khan said solemnly: "You two, calm down! How could Ben Khan have a son like you who gets angry when encountering a slight setback?! If the boss is dead, Ben Khan will definitely
Use the blood of Chu to avenge him! But we must also take into account the overall situation of our grassland!"
Originally, the Zhou Kingdom took the initiative in the grassland expedition, and now the Zhou Kingdom's border troops have become a little tired and have begun to defend the border, and they no longer dare to go out to the grassland to engage them in close combat.
Now that the Chu State has taken advantage of the situation, they must have set up a good battle formation there. Even if their army returns to support, they will definitely not be able to take the initiative.
If the advantage gained in the Zhou Kingdom is given up at the same time, it will instantly turn into a disadvantage. The Zhou Kingdom may even see that the grassland is weak and may launch a counterattack. At that time, a two-front battle will only consume the military strength of the grassland.
damn it!
If the boss hadn't written back to him and the alliance between the grassland and the Chu State had already been concluded, how could he have sent troops so hastily?
How could the entire grassland fall into such a passive situation?
Forget it, everyone else is gone, and now is not the time to hold people accountable.
At that time, it was also difficult for me to restrain my desire to conquer all directions, and in order to control the hearts of the people as soon as possible so that the grassland could be consistent with the outside world, now it seems that I have failed.
The only variable in this situation is the Chu State. Agula kept exchanging letters with him during the few months he was in the Chu State. Everything went smoothly every time. The Chu State was even willing to sell half of the Glazed Wolf King and half to give it away.
Looking at it now, the Chu people did this just to let themselves relax their vigilance and unscrupulously push the army to the Zhou state.
In fact, these are all their conspiracy!
Cunning Chu people!
Wanyan Khan gritted his teeth and looked at the third and fourth princes and said: "You two will lead half of the army and continue the siege again."
The third prince and the fourth prince immediately said: "Father! We want to avenge our eldest brother!"
Wanyan Khan said angrily: "Shut up! Don't you dare to disobey this Khan's order?! I'll pay you back if I disobey you!"
The third prince and the fourth prince immediately closed their mouths and lowered their heads, trembling.
Wanyan Khan said: "Now the wise king is eager for us to mess up our situation. Once we fall into his scheme, how can our grassland compete with the Central Plains?! From now on, you all should use my brain more!"
The Third Prince and the Fourth Prince had no choice but to respond in a muffled voice. Now they could hear that the anger in Father Khan's heart had been suppressed to an extremely terrifying level and was just waiting to explode...
Wanyan Khan glanced at them and continued, "The reason why I asked you two to besiege the pass of Zhou State here is because once our grassland shows its decline in front of Zhou State, Zhou State will definitely find an opportunity to take advantage of it!"
The third prince was finally willing to use his brain and said tentatively: "Father, if the Chu State attacks, why don't our grassland negotiate a peace with the Zhou State first and then deal with the Chu State? This way we can better deal with the Chu State."
Wanyan Khan said coldly, "Absolutely not! If we continue to fight without declaring war, we have already lost our loyalty! If we ask for peace at this time, they will not agree to it. Instead, they will see that our grassland successors are weak and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. When the time comes, our grassland will
Will be more passive!"
"You can safely lead the army to surround the Zhou State pass. Not only must you encircle it, but you must also attack the city every day. Just pretend to attack. This will preserve the strength of our army to the greatest extent and will not let Zhou State see the decline.
Wait until I have defeated the Chu invaders before I make a decision!"
The third prince and the fourth prince did not dare to disobey Wanyan Khan's words: "Yes..."
Wanyan Khan walked out of his tent, ordered his messengers to mobilize the army, and then looked eastward in the distance.
Despicable Chu people! They invaded just when their grassland was about to break through the Zhou pass!
But it doesn't matter, this is not his Chu country, and the terrain on the grassland is not familiar to Chu country. Agula said last time that the time, place and people are favorable.
As long as the terrain is favorable to you...
favorable……
The terrain is so favorable!
The terrain above the grassland is flat, and even if there are mountains, they are mostly hills. What a damn favorable terrain?
And he heard Agula say that firearms prefer places with flat terrain...
