Chapter 37: Yardan's Plan (Part 2)
"Princess!" As soon as the dusty Azis returned to Gorgosi's tribe, he was summoned to Yaldan's tent. "I sent someone to inquire about it. Sima Rui, the guard of Lucheng, has no idea about the Shen Feng of Yingzui Rock. What kind of favorable impression is completely different from Feng Congyi's attitude, which means that when we destroy Yingzui Rock, we will not encounter obstacles from Lucheng."
"Is there any other news in Lucheng that deserves our attention?"
"Yes!" Azis said: "There have been major changes in the generals of the Lucheng army. Wang Min, the deputy general who originally followed Feng Congyi, has been confirmed to have been completely ignored by Sima Rui. The most elite first battalion has collectively surrendered under the leadership of four sentry generals. Then, with the support of these four people, Sima Rui began to reorganize and train the second, third, and fourth battalions of Lucheng. In addition to the second battalion general Qiao Zifang, the third and fourth battalion generals All have been replaced, both of them are from the first battalion, the new battalion of the third battalion will be Wang Zhuang, and the new battalion of the fourth battalion will be Ding Jian."
"Oh?" Yaldan raised his head, "So, this Sima Rui still wants to do something?"
"Yes, princess, during my stay in Lucheng, I carefully observed the changes and adjustments of the army in Lucheng. After Sima Rui recovered the four sentry generals of the first battalion, he vigorously promoted and reused them. These four followed Feng Congyi has been very good at military affairs for a long time. Now the military style of Lucheng has indeed changed a lot. In addition to the first battalion, the combat effectiveness of the other three battalions has also increased rapidly. From this point of view, Sima Rui A bit more powerful than Feng Congyi." Azis said.
Yaerdan nodded, "Feng Congyi is too upright, and the backstage is not as tough as Sima Rui. Sima Rui dared to kick the generals of the two battalions away, but Feng Congyi does not have that ability. It seems that this Sima Rui cannot be underestimated. !”
"The princess is right!"
"Aqis, come and take a look at these things!" Yaldan picked up a few thin pieces of paper from the case and handed them to Azis.
After quickly browsing, Azis looked up at Yaerdan with some doubts, "Princess, we all heard about Shen Feng's rebellion back then. After all, it was a shock that shocked Lu City and the desert at that time. It's such a big deal, what do you think the princess wants to do now to reveal this?"
Yaldan smiled and said: "After the incident, Yanda was beheaded in public, Shen Feng led Yanda's descendants and cavalry out of Lucheng, and the family of the other person involved is now very popular in Dai Viet. Sheng Shuiqi holds great power, and he has a very close relationship with the Sima family. Tell me, with such a deep hatred, will that family ask Sima Rui to avenge him?"
Azis laughed, "That's right, a man was mutilated..." He glanced at Yaerdan and said, "It's true that he has a deep hatred."
Yaerdan's face turned red, "If, I mean, if Sima Rui received such a commission when he first took office, why don't we take advantage of this and bring Sima Rui in, so that we don't need to call too many With the strength of the army, Shen Feng can be uprooted."
"What will Sima Rui do? Join us?"
Yardan smiled and said: "Why not? Now we Mongolians and Vietnam live in peace and treat each other as guests. The two families work together to exterminate the Yingzuiyan horse bandits who violate border peace, burn, kill and loot, and do all kinds of evil. To him, Sima For Rui Li, it was a great achievement in front of the Dai Viet court, and he also took into account both public and private matters, and also completed the person's entrustment. I think the reward he received will far exceed our expectations!"
Aziz thought for a moment and said, "There are two difficulties in this matter."
"Say!" Yaerdan looked at Azis with great admiration. Compared with Ge Luo, the leader of the clan, Yaerdan valued Azis more. He was a man who was practical and thoughtful.
But Geluo has been so consumed by wine, sex and wealth that he doesn't have much wisdom left.
"First, how to persuade Sima Rui to join forces with us instead of sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers. As we said before, judging from Sima Rui's words and deeds, we will find that this person is not a loser, but a person with some talent.
I'm afraid he is also fighting to the death between our two families!" Azis said.
"Well, you say the second one."
"The second thing is that the place where the Yingzui Rock Horse Bandits are located is extremely dangerous and difficult to attack. If there are few people, it will not work. If there are more people, they will escape. The desert is so big that we can't figure out their intentions at all.
The whereabouts of these people have forced them to rush into the desert, looting, burning and killing, and our losses will be great. These people come and go like the wind, and it is difficult to predict. So the second difficulty is how to force them to fight with
We fight the battle openly and defeat them head-on with superior force."
"The two points you mentioned are exactly the key points!" Yardan smiled. "As for how to make Sima Rui join us at that time, that's not a problem. I will make him have to join forces with us. It's you who said it."
The second point is that we need to plan carefully to force them out of Yingzui Rock and have to fight us head-on."
"Chen Feng has been entrenched in the desert for nearly twenty years. At his peak, his men numbered nearly 3,000. Even now, he still has more than 2,000 cavalry. A force of this size must have his logistics.
And this place is definitely not in Yingzui Rock, so the first step we have to do is to find this place. Azis, go back and tell Ge Luo to send more sentries, a hundred miles away from the Yingzui Rock Square Garden.
Inside, search carefully for me, and don’t let go of any doubts. As long as you find out this key point of theirs, you can easily force them out.”
"This is the first point. In addition, I believe that someone in Lucheng must know this place, or know a little bit about it. Azis, think about it, Feng Congyi and Shen Feng have been working together for nearly twenty years, would he not know?
Where is Shen Feng's key point? What about Wang Min, who has followed Feng Congyi for many years, and the four sentry generals? Even if they don't know it absolutely, they at least know something about it. If we start to inquire about it from them, it may be half the battle.
And it’s twice the result.”
"Princess is wise!" Azis nodded in admiration, "I will take care of this when I get down."
"Don't be anxious, take your time, we have time!" Yardan said with a smile: "If you do it too hastily, you will be in trouble. If Shen Feng, an old fox, catches the scent, before we are ready,
We took precautions in advance and moved his logistical points away, but our work would have been in vain."
"I understand!" Azis nodded repeatedly. "Princess, I suddenly had an idea. I wonder if it will work?"
Jardan smiled and said, "Tell me about it."
"In the desert, Shen Feng's family is not the only horse bandits. There are also many organized by our deceived fugitives. Some of them only have money in their eyes. Why don't we pay some money and let them harass the surrounding area? We promise
Instead of encircling them, let them test Shen Feng's vital points for us. In this case, even if the action is a little bigger, it will not arouse Shen Feng's suspicion. At that time, we can watch on the side and see what Shen Feng is.
Wherever we are most nervous, we can tell where we are looking for!"
"Wonderful!" Yaerdan clapped and praised: "Aqis, this is a good idea. Well, let Jamuka handle this matter and let him contact the horse bandits."
Azis smiled in agreement.
Glancing at Azis, Yardan said with admiration: "Azis, with your talents, you have failed in the Gorgos tribe. After this matter is completed, I will ask my brother to transfer you to the royal court.
There, you may be able to better utilize your talents.”
Azis was overjoyed and bowed deeply to Yaerdan, "Thank you so much for your cultivation, princess!" With Yaerdan's words, his rise to prominence was just around the corner.
Chapter completed!
