Not to mention that he only brought a hundred people, even if he brought two thousand people deep into the grassland, he would still have to take this risk.
After being conquered by the Wanyan tribe last time, the population of the Shugu tribe dropped by 30%. If it hadn't been for the quick surrender and the small tribes acting as scapegoats, half of the population would have been lost, and the other half probably wouldn't have lasted long.
And now Wanyan Khan has not only conquered the entire grassland, but has also been recognized by the Glazed Wolf King. This is his destiny!
If they don't obey, wouldn't they be violating the destiny of heaven?
How does this happen?
Yesterday, other people in the tribe were furious when they heard that the heads of the small tribesmen on their backs were chopped off by the Prince Xian. They all wanted to eat the Prince alive.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Thinking of this, Shugu Zhong immediately sent people to investigate the situation to determine the location of the wise prince, and summoned the most powerful people in the tribe to the leader's tent to discuss matters.
The result was, as expected, the request to send a large army to directly capture the virtuous prince, so that he could not only avenge the descendants who were killed by him, but also make contributions to the grassland.
Everyone in the big tent was also filled with indignation and begged the leader to send troops as soon as possible.
What if the wise prince deliberately showed weakness to the enemy? Couldn't it be enough to send more people out?
He had a hundred cavalry, and the Bone Corps sent two thousand men!
Can an army of two thousand be no match for a hundred?
Moreover, the grassland is vast and it is not suitable to hide an ambush. Even if it is to show the enemy's weakness, if you want to hide an ambush, you can only hide one or two hundred more soldiers at most. If you hide more, the secret will definitely be exposed. So many Central Plains armored soldiers suddenly appeared in the vast grassland.
, the goal is really too big.
Now they only need to wait until the reconnaissance scouts come back to know whether the situation is true.
If they find out that Prince Xian is deliberately showing weakness to the enemy, then they can rest easy for the time being. If they find out that he really brought a hundred people with him, then I'm sorry, they will definitely send a large army to attack Prince Xian directly!
This abominable virtuous prince must be captured alive, tortured in every possible way, and then handed over to the Khan to be punished in order to eliminate the hatred in his heart!
Yes! That’s it!
Just when Shuguzhong felt that he had almost made a plan and was about to conclude the case, the counselor Shuguyuan on the side said: "Chief, wait a minute."
The Bone Counter Bell asked, "What else is there?"
Shuguyuan said: "Chief, I don't think we can act easily. Since the wise prince has appeared and the news has reached our ears, it must be someone with ulterior motives who did it deliberately. How can we respond to the enemy so hastily?"
Bone Counter said solemnly: "Reckless? He has a hundred cavalry, but my leader sends 2,000 men to fight against the enemy. Is this considered reckless? Do you think their conspiracies and tricks on the vast grassland will still come in handy?"
Shugu Yuandao said: "The terrain on the grassland is not as complicated as that of the Central Plains. Many conspiracies and tricks will indeed be in vain, but for the sake of safety, it is safe enough to contact several large surrounding tribes to jointly contain them. Even if it is as Khan said
Well, they are cavalry and we cannot catch up with the cavalry. If they dare to go deep into the grassland with such a small number of people, they must know that several of our tribes have lost their war horses and cannot pose a threat to them, so they act so wantonly."
"Contact several other tribes?" A middle-aged man sitting in the lower position was obviously unhappy: "Then the credit should be shared equally with several other tribes? We discovered man by counting his bones, why should we still do it?
Take them with you? How much do we owe them?"
Another man with a long beard looked at the timid Shu Guyuan and said, "That's right! I think his son, Shu Guyuan, has not been poisoned by the virtuous prince. He can just stand here and talk without pain in his back!"
The middle-aged man from before continued to say dissatisfied: "Yeah, even if they are cavalry and we are fighting on foot, what can we do if we can't catch them? Even if the wise prince escapes, I don't want to let anyone else arrive.
Our territory of the Bone Counting Department is joined together. If the Changsheng Heaven thinks highly of us, he will bless us of the Bone Counting Department to capture the virtuous prince and donate it to the Khan. If we can’t catch him, other tribes won’t want him either!”
Although many members of the Shugu Department were massacred by the Wanyan Department, they, the members of the Shugu Department who were sitting in high positions, should have hated the Wanyan Department.
But now that the situation of the Shugu Department is over, if they cannot please the Wanyan Department, all of them, the dignitaries of the Shugu Department, will lose their status.
Of course, the most important thing now is to try to please Wanyanbu and consolidate his position.
They had resisted the Wanyan Department at the time, so maybe Khan would have been dissatisfied with them. If they didn't show their face, who knows, they might be hit by something unexpected someday?
The Bone Counter looked at these people who couldn't listen to the advice at all, gritted his teeth and said, "I count the Bones Yuan with the sole purpose of counting the Bone Department, and I don't have any selfish motives. Please let me know this from the leader!"
The Bone Counter Bell said: "I know that you have always been loyal, but I don't think I need to inform other tribes this time. First of all, the other tribes are far away from my Bone Counter Department. When they send people over, the virtuous prince may be
He has disappeared a long time ago, and secondly, it is as everyone here said. Besides, we sent two thousand people this time, which is enough!"
Shu Guyuan finally said: "Chief, how about this? We send people to capture the Prince Xian at the same time, and at the same time send people to inform the Khan and ask the Khan to send reinforcements. For example, the Prince Xian went deep into the grassland with only one person.
Hundreds of people, we can say that he brought two thousand people. For such an important person, even the two thousand Cavalry Khan would not doubt that if the Prince of Xian Wang was caught by our Bone Counting Department during this period, our Bone Counting Department would
We use this to claim credit, and we can also exaggerate the credit. If we fail to catch him, we will not suffer any loss if we help the Khan's army catch the virtuous prince. This way we can be considered foolproof."
"If the Khan's army came and saw that the wise prince only had a hundred people around him, then we can also say that we fought to the death to disperse them, and only a hundred people around him escaped."
After hearing this, Shuguzhong thought for a while and nodded: "Well, what you said makes sense and is comprehensive. Even if we can't catch him in the end, reporting it to the Khan is still a merit. I will do as you say, and I will send someone here."
The people reported to the Khan and told him that Prince Xian Wang led 3,000 cavalry deep into the grassland with evil intentions and instigated small tribes to rebel against our grassland."
Shu Guyuan was stunned and said: "Isn't it two thousand?"
Counting Bones Bell said: "If you report more, the Khan will not notice it. If the Khan knows that the three thousand cavalry of the wise prince are captured by us, wouldn't it show that our tribe is capable?"
…
vast grassland
Xiao Ye stood on a hill, looked around with binoculars to make sure there was nothing unusual, then walked down, looked at Xu Qing in front of the temporary camp and said, "Brother Xu, we brought three thousand people with us this time.
Even if the cavalry is hiding, the target seems to be a bit big."
