Chapter 1097: How can I believe you if you can¡¯t stand the river? Seeing clearly is the most gratifying thing for a decision-maker. Only by seeing clearly can we make fewer mistakes. At Fang Jie's level, he is no longer allowed to make mistakes. In the past, when he was just starting out, the cost of making a mistake might have been to start all over again. By now, if he made a big enough mistake, the blood of the people who died after him could become an ocean. Therefore, we must first determine the priorities. Once the matter on the Mengyuan people's side is settled, then the next step is definitely not to go to Dalun Temple in Daxue Mountain to find bad luck with that so-called god, because no matter how unreasonable the god's existence is, it has nothing to do with Fang Jie for the time being, even if that so-called god God has already begun to make arrangements to get rid of Fang Jie. Fang Jie is not repaying kindness with kindness. It is okay for people, but Fang Jie is not so kind to such a cold and cold person. The reason why I won¡¯t go to Dalun Temple in Daxue Mountain for the time being is because the most urgent thing now is the war in Eastern Xinjiang. Judging from the recent intelligence sent from Dongjiang, Mu Guangling has become increasingly confused. And the reason for this coma has a lot to do with the death of his only son Mu Xianjun in the battle. It can be said that the battle on Penglai Island had a great impact on Mu Guangling's state of mind. The death of his only son made him mentally confused. As mentioned before, if a decision-maker cannot see clearly, then death is no longer far away. But no matter what, Mu Mansion is still the most powerful force in Eastern Xinjiang. If the Mu Mansion collapses, the war situation against foreigners will turn into a more passive one. Relying only on Nalan Dingdong's 100,000 black flag troops and the scattered forces gathered around him, it would be impossible to defeat the foreigners. What Fang Jie is afraid of is not that Mu Mansion will collapse, but that he did not arrive in Eastern Xinjiang before Mu Mansion collapsed. This is a difficult degree to master, and the one who masters it now is Nalan Dingdong. On the one hand, he wants to continue to divide Mu Mansion, on the other hand, he also needs to resist foreigners and unite other forces. This is a balance. Once this balance is broken at an inappropriate time, Nalan Dingdong is very likely to be involved in the storm. Therefore, the war against Meng Yuan cannot be delayed any longer. Because of the agreement with Brother Meng, Fang Jie no longer needs to wait for the arrival of the large group of troops from Chang'an City. Now that Brother Meng is in his camp, it is definitely not a loss to exchange for 200,000 wolf cavalry by killing and amnesty. of trading. You must know how much impact the arrival of these two hundred thousand wolf cavalry in Eastern Xinjiang will have on the war situation. What foreigners fear most is the cavalry that comes and goes like the wind. The firearms of this era are far from being able to fight even cavalry with an overwhelming advantage. The foreign volleyball array has extremely powerful lethality for infantry, but it is greatly reduced for light cavalry. As long as tactics can be used rationally, it is not impossible to use light cavalry to defeat the foreign gun array. Fang Jie is writing a letter to Gai She. The weather is calm and the sea is rare. There are no ripples on the Yishui River. The water is as calm as a large mirror. The wide river would have been calm without wind and waves, but today it seemed that even the river had a premonition that something big was about to happen, so it just wanted to be a quiet spectator. West Bank of Yishui River Starting from last night, Meng Yuan's wolf cavalry suddenly made a move. Two hundred thousand wolf cavalry, led by General Wang Ting, suddenly left the camp and formed an array on the bank of Yishui River. This kind of behavior made Gaishe feel inexplicably nervous. Although the Black Mountain Army had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, the Wolf Cavalry's attitude of fighting against the odds still made people feel anxious. He didn¡¯t know what happened, but he knew that Da ZiZai must know what happened. The Buddhist monk had been monitoring Brother Meng, but Da Zi Zi did not come to him last night. After Meng Ge learned that the wolf cavalry suddenly left the camp, he immediately sent people to look for Da Zi Zai, but did not find him. This is even more unreasonable. Where did Da ZiZai go? Just when he was assigning generals, a letter was delivered to him. Fang Jie¡¯s handwritten letter. When I opened the letter, there were only a few words on the paper. "The general is in a difficult situation now. He either fights with all his strength or retreats quickly, but the general is hesitant. I am worried that the war in Eastern Xinjiang will not drag on for too long, so I have to plan a battle with the general as soon as possible. Before noon today, if the general If I don't lead my troops back to the grassland, I will fight the general on the banks of the Yishui River. I also want to know if the general can still use that sword." Looking at this letter, Gai She's brows furrowed into two ridges. ¡°That¡¯s not right¡± Gai She thought of the 200,000 wolf riders who suddenly went to the bank of Yishui River, and then looked at what Fang Jie said about the battle by the river. Gai She had a feeling that he had fallen into a trap. The disappearance of great freedom may beIt has something to do with Fang Jie, but how could he disappear so quietly with his cultivation level? The posture put up by Meng Yuan Langqi was obviously preparing to fight with the Black Mountain Army. If the Mongols and Han people unite, the Montenegro Army may not be able to win even if it is powerful. What's more, the Han people have formidable firearms. ¡°Would it be possible?¡± As the second most recognized person in the Montenegrin Army, Bei Huaili, the highest-ranking military advisor under Gai Sheng, had a solemn expression on his face. The origin of this person is very mysterious. It is said that most of the decisions made by the Montenegrin Army come from this person rather than Gaisheng. Gai She had great trust in this man, and it was rumored that the Black Mountain Army's military talisman was even given to this man to hold. "Brother Meng has reached some kind of agreement with Fang Jie?" Bei Huaili was accustomed to wearing a veil, and his specific age could not be determined from his exposed eyes. But what is certain is that his eyes are very clear and bright, without a trace of turbidity, so he must not be very old. It is said that Bei Huaili is not from his own tribe. Judging from the color of his eyes, he may even be a Han Chinese, because his eyes are black, while the Gaishe tribe all have blue eyes. "Also" Bei Huaili thought for a while and then said: "Fang Jie's sudden change of attitude is certainly because he is worried about the war between foreigners in Eastern Xinjiang, but I suspect that his reinforcements have arrived. Our scouts cannot cross the river. I don¡¯t know what happened to the Han people. If Fang Jie¡¯s reinforcements really arrive, and there is some agreement with Meng Ge, then we are now facing two powerful enemies who have joined forces.¡± ¡°You mean to retreat. ?" Gai She asked. Bei Huaili nodded: "The situation is unclear now, but it is obviously not good for us. I didn't agree with the Eastern Expedition at the beginning. If the general wanted to come, I couldn't stop it. If the general had listened to me, he would have fought against the enemy between the Buddha Sect and the Meng Yuan Dynasty. The war in the Royal Court ended with a sudden attack on the Royal Court. Now the general is sitting in the Royal Court and giving orders to all parties. The best opportunity before has been missed. Although it is dangerous now, it may not be another good opportunity. It is not too late for the general to lead his troops to retreat. As long as we return to the grassland, how can the empty Meng Yuan Palace stop the general's hundreds of thousands of troops?" "Back off?" Gai She murmured, then slowly shook his head: "I never backed down." There was obvious anxiety in his eyes: "General, why should you insist on winning or losing with one person? Only by sitting in the royal court and governing the grassland can real success be achieved. Fang Jie is a cunning man, and his letter may not have the effect of disturbing the general's state of mind. The general didn't listen to me at the beginning. Yes, you must listen to me this time no matter what." "I will leave it to you to decide most of the matters in the army." Gai She said slowly, "I didn't listen to you at the beginning because I knew what happened to Brother Meng. The combat strength of the hundreds of thousands of royal court wolf cavalry is actually not much weaker than that of our Black Mountain Army. Even if they make a surprise attack, how can it be so easy to secure the royal court if they win on the battlefield? The resistance is. Those Meng Yuan people will not obey me. The reason why I choose to follow Meng Ge in the Eastern Expedition is actually to cause more losses to the power of the Golden Family through the war with the Han people. The resistance will be much smaller when we return to the grassland." "I know." Bei Huaili said: "That's why I didn't insist on stopping the general from coming, but what happened next was not at all expected, and neither was Meng Ge's sudden division of troops. There was a fierce battle with the Han people, but nothing we expected to see happened. Now that Da Zi has deviated from the original direction, it might not be the best choice. " He stood up and bowed deeply: " General, please listen to me and return to the grassland." After Gai She was silent for a long time, he finally nodded: "Okay, although you are not from my tribe, you have always planned for me wholeheartedly. After I go back, I will listen to you more. Some suggestions." Bei Huaili's eyes clearly showed some joy: "If the general goes back, he must send people back to Montenegro as soon as possible, order the tribe to return with all their strength, and attack the royal court with all their strength." "Okay." Now that he had made his decision, Gai She did not hesitate: "You can arrange these things." His eyes seemed to glance at Fang Jie's handwritten letter inadvertently, but the meaning in his eyes was so complicated. He didn't care much about the other words in the letter, but the last sentence attracted his attention like magic. "I also want to know, can the general still use that knife?" Bei Huaili did not miss this detail, so worry immediately appeared in his eyes: "No, general!" He grabbed the letter and tore it into pieces: " Fang Jie deliberately wanted the general to be fooled. The general should put the overall situation first." Gai She was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I understand." A large ship slowly docked on the west bank of Yishui River.When Fang Jie got off the big boat, he deliberately walked half a step slowly and walked side by side with Meng Ge. This move was just to comfort the Meng Yuan generals who were eyeing him in the distance. Now they were going to Eastern Xinjiang to fight the foreigners with real swords and guns, so Fang Jie didn't mind taking care of their emotions. What could be more pleasurable than letting enemies fight to the death on the battlefield? "Lord, the Montenegrin Army has indeed withdrawn." Qianhu Liao Sheng of the Xiaoqi Cavalry School stepped forward and reported with clasped fists. He had been monitoring the movements of the Montenegrin Army since early morning. "The departure was very hasty, and a lot of luggage was left without taking it with me." Liao Sheng said. Fang Jie nodded and asked Brother Meng: "What if we retreat?" Brother Meng's face was very serious, he paused for a while and then shook his head: "On the surface, Gaishe looks like a rude and barbaric person, but he is very thoughtful. What's more, there is a Han named Bei Huaili in his army, so even if he wants to evacuate, he cannot be so hasty and embarrassed. Gai She is deliberately making the illusion. He hopes that we will pursue him. " "If nothing happens, he will definitely. An ambush was arranged." Brother Meng said, "But if you don't chase him, he will really escape." Fang Jie made a gesture of invitation: "In that case, you can go after him." Brother Meng's expression changed. : "Fang Jie, don't forget, I promised you to take 200,000 wolves to ride in Eastern Xinjiang because you promised me to kill Gai She. Now you don't chase him, why should I keep my promise?" Fang Jie laughed. He got up and said, "It's just a joke. Gaishe won't go far. He will definitely be waiting for us to chase him. His withdrawal is just an illusion. To make him go away confidently and boldly, we must also It has to be an illusion." "What illusion?" Brother Meng asked. "Crossing the river" Fang Jie pointed to the distance and saw a huge fleet appearing from the north on the river, but it didn't look like a warship, but a cargo ship. " "Please ask the Great Khan to order the wolf cavalry to cross the river. As long as the wolf cavalry reaches the east bank, Gai She will feel more at ease. Then I will use a big boat to transport my light cavalry a hundred miles to the north and then dock. I will take a shortcut to intercept and kill Gai She. , must be beyond their expectations. " Brother Meng was stunned for a moment: "You never said you wanted to cross the river before. " "Everything should not be made too clear in advance. If the Great Khan cannot trust me, how can I trust the Great Khan? The agreement between you and me will not come into effect until the Khan's wolf rides across the river. There is no need for you to worry about the matter of killing and amnesty. As soon as I come back, we will join forces and march to Eastern Xinjiang. " Brother Meng was silent for a while: "I'm going to discuss with my generals. " Fang Jie smiled: "Please"
