The quarrel made Meng Ge's heart even more chaotic, and the reaction of his subordinates was unexpectedly strong. Most people feel that Fang Jie cannot be trusted, but they can't find a better way. Some people suggested that they should return to the grassland now, at worst they could live the same life as before. But Brother Meng knew that if he went back now, he might not be able to live his life as before.
Just go back like this, I'm afraid that even Wang Ting will not be able to keep.
Meng Ge has always been worried that no one has mentioned it to his subordinates, because this speculation is too important and must not be said indiscriminately. In fact, after entering the Dalun Temple for the last time, Meng Ge had this guess. The thing in Dalun Temple asked him to lead troops to the east, but in fact it was not testing him.
If he refused at the time, Meng Ge believed that he would be dead now.
This is an unsolvable situation. If he doesn't leave, that thing will definitely get rid of him. What is the use of keeping a puppet that is no longer obedient? If he leaves, that thing will take advantage of his absence to support a new person to take over the position of the Golden Family. This is an unsolvable situation that no one can solve. The only way is to get rid of that thing, so that the Golden Family can continue to rule on the grassland.
But to kill that thing, it seems that Fang Jie really has to rely on it.
Sang Luan's words had a great impact on Meng Ge.
"Khan, I don't think Fang Xie is credible. Why should our people go thousands of miles away to help the Han people fight? And they are facing foreigners who are said to have stronger firearms!"
Kok Temondo urged him eagerly: "Khan, we have seen the power of firearms these days. The firearms of the Black Banner Army are already so powerful, and the firearms of foreigners are naturally more powerful. And the firearms of the Black Banner Army After all, the scale of the battalion is limited, and millions of foreign troops are equipped with firearms, even if our wolves ride around like the wind, they can't stop the heavy firearms shooting like a torrential rain."
"Besides, Fang Jie is our Meng Yuan's enemy in the final analysis, isn't it too hasty to believe an enemy?"
Several people nodded, but they didn't think Fang Xie was credible.
"No problem."
Meng Ge shook his head and said, "Haven't you ever thought that crossing the river is not harmful to us? We are just crossing the river now, not going to Eastern Xinjiang."
He glanced at everyone, and said in a low voice, "Fang Xie wanted to make sure that I would take 200,000 wolf riders to help him go to the eastern border to fight against the foreigners, so he thought of such a way to let my wolf riders go to the east bank of the river first." Go. Because we don’t have a boat ourselves, it’s hard to go back when we get to the east bank of the river. But isn’t this idea too simple and naive? After crossing the river, can’t we go back on our word?”
Meng Ge smiled: "What are we afraid of the Black Banner Army?"
Do not answer: "Navy, firearms."
Meng Ge nodded: "That's right, what we are most afraid of is the navy of the Black Banner Army. If the navy is blocking us, we cannot attack. But now Fang Xie wants to stabilize my Meng Yuan army. Isn’t it beneficial for us to cross the river? We’ve been attacking for so long but we haven’t reached the east of Yishui River, and now Fang Jie is taking the initiative to dispatch a large ship to take us there.”
Meng Ge said with a smile: "As long as you cross the river, there are 200,000 troops. Do you still need to look at Fang Xie's face? As long as you cross the river, the navy of the Black Banner Army will be useless. On the plains, the Black Banner Army It is also difficult for the firearm battalion to exert its maximum power, as long as our light cavalry charge up, the strength of the firearm battalion is not to be feared at all."
Duobie suddenly understood: "What Da Khan means is that we only cross the river but not go to the eastern border. Didn't Fang Jie mean that as long as we cross the river, he will personally take a short cut with the Qingqi of the Black Banner Army to intercept and kill Gai She As long as he leaves with Qingqi, what else on the east bank of the river can stop our 200,000 wolf cavalry? Once we reach the east bank, we can launch an offensive immediately, and the Han people will be caught off guard and will definitely be defeated!"
"Exactly."
Meng Ge said: "It's just crossing the river. As long as we get to the other side of the river, is it still up to the Black Banner Army to decide?"
Several Wang Ting generals gradually calmed down after hearing what Meng Ge said. They thought about it carefully, and it was indeed as Meng Ge said. It was nothing more than crossing the river. The previous brutal attack was difficult, but now Fang Jie took the initiative to send a boat to pick him up. Isn't this unexpected
After reaching the other side, either watch Fang Jie go to fight the Black Mountain Army with a cold eye, or attack on the spot, and he will definitely win a big victory.
"Fang Jie is in a hurry to solve the crisis in the eastern border. He needs our 200,000 wolf cavalry. The Black Banner Army is too spread out and its strength is insufficient."
Meng Ge said: "It's a good opportunity for us, Kuo Ertai... You should leave now quietly to pursue Gai She, and tell him that all this is my plan. After I cross the river with the army, let Gai She immediately Bring the troops back. When the time comes, he and I will attack on both sides, and Fang Xie will be defeated. As long as this victory is won, Fang Xie's navy and firearms can be returned to the grassland and continue to attack Chang'an City. Take the initiative after all. It's all in our hands. If we can break through Chang'an City, what's the point of giving up the grassland?"
Meng Ge said: "As long as this victory is won, I will immediately send people back to the royal court and let all the tribes migrate to the Central Plains."
Several subordinates were excited by what he said, and no longer objected.
These people are all his confidantes. After hesitating for a while, Meng Ge picked up what he could say about the thing in the Dalun Temple. Everyone was astonished, knowing that King Dalun Ming was just a puppet, which was undoubtedly shocking. With such a thing, returning to the golden family on the grassland may not be able to reproduce its glory. Instead of this, it is better to simply seize the Central Plains in one fell swoop. Anyway, that thing cannot control the place outside the grassland, which may not be the right way for Meng Yuan.
"Since you all agree, then I will go and explain to Fang that I am willing to cross the river."
Meng Ge said: "At that time, it will be up to me to order and act. As soon as the horn of our army blows, the battalions will attack immediately!"
"Obey!"
Everyone bent down and responded.
…
…
"What? Those Wang Ting generals under the Great Khan have already agreed?"
Fang asked.
Meng Ge sighed and said: "It's not easy to say, although I am the Great Khan of Meng Yuan, these people are all nobles of the empire, and they are all blood of the Golden Family. Although I am a Great Khan, I can't act arbitrarily. So I advise you After a long time, they only reluctantly agreed to go to the east bank first. But the matter of sending troops to the eastern border may not be so easy."
Fang Jie said: "Khan just remember that the outcome will be a win-win situation for you and me. As for those people who refuse to go to the eastern border, they are just like you, Khan. Do you still have freedom? If I want to, I can do it now." Kill them one by one. I am afraid none of the guards around Da Khan can stop me. Originally, there was Gai She and Da Zi Zai beside you, but now Da Zi Zai is gone, Ga She withdraws, Da Zi Zai Khan... you still have a choice?"
Meng Ge's face changed suddenly, pretending to be quite angry. But he felt relieved, if he directly told Fang Xie that his subordinates had agreed to cross the river, Fang Xie would inevitably be suspicious. He said it was difficult, but Fang Jie had no doubts. The reason why Fang Jie threatened him so much was not because Fang Jie had already determined that he had the absolute initiative now.
Meng Ge couldn't help but sneer in his heart, in this world, where is there any eternal enemy and eternal friend. Not long ago, Fang Jie was still telling him that the Mongolian Yuan's Eastern Expedition slaughtered the Han people and the common people were sworn enemies, but in a blink of an eye, he was discussing cooperation with him for the war in Eastern Xinjiang.
Therefore, in the face of interests, all ethnic hatred is nonsense.
The reason why Meng Ge sneered in his heart was not only because of Fang Xie's hypocrisy of talking about national righteousness, but also because he firmly believed that Gai She would come back as soon as he received his message. Because he knows too well what kind of person Gai She is. People like Fang Jie will be enemies sooner or later, so it's better to kill him while he has the opportunity.
"However, if the fleet wants to get all 200,000 wolf riders across the river, it will not take a while. If you wait for me to lead the troops across the river before you go after Gai She, will you still be able to catch up?"
Meng Ge asked deliberately.
"No problem."
Fang Jie waved his hand confidently, "I have already ordered all the cargo ships on the Yangtze River from Hutong Tianxia to come here, and I have conscripted all the large ships that can be conscripted. Go and order the cavalry along the river bank to prepare for boarding." The boat is enough. The big boat I mobilized is enough to transport all the wolf cavalry at once. The preparation time will certainly not be too short, but as long as we board the boat together, the river crossing will not be too slow. If all goes well, the army will be ready before dark. All aboard."
"Furthermore..."
Fang Jie smiled and said, "According to my calculations, Da Khan still has at most 160,000 or 70,000 horses in his hands, definitely less than 200,000."
Meng Ge frowned: "Why board the ship at the same time?"
Fang Jie said: "The Great Khan may have forgotten that although we have an agreement, we are still enemies. If you don't transport all your wolves over at once, what should I do if your subordinates suddenly go back on their word? You don't believe me, I will I don’t believe you, so it’s better to be restrained. As soon as all your wolf cavalry cross the river, I’ll kill Gaish immediately.”
"in addition."
Fang Jie pointed to the back: "There is someone you might want to meet."
Meng Ge looked back along Fang Jie's fingers, and his face changed drastically after just one glance.
There were two people on the bow of the big boat they took just now, and they stopped there in a very strange posture. One of them was standing, wearing an old Taoist robe, naturally it was Xiao Yijiu, the master of Yiqi Temple. The man next to him was lying on the ground like a dog, and there was really a dog chain around his neck.
That man was actually a peerless and elegant man.
Seeing this scene, Meng Ge's heart was shocked. It seems that Xiao Yijiu made a move last night and captured Da Zizai. A person as proud as Da Zizai was actually tied around his neck with an iron chain at this time, leading him like a dog. So Meng Ge immediately made a decision, he had to wait for Xiao Yijiu to leave before doing anything.
"So farewell!"
At this moment, Fang Jie cupped his fists towards Xiao Yijiu: "May the Taoist priest have a smooth journey."
Xiao Yijiu nodded, jumped off the big boat holding the iron chain, nodded towards Fang Jie, and then walked away leading Da Zizai.
…
…
From early morning to evening, 400 to 500 large cargo ships lined up along the river, and nearly 200,000 wolf riders all picked them up. Such a large ship can carry more than a thousand soldiers. In order to ensure that the cargo ship can transport the men and horses at one time, the men and horses are loaded separately.
As if to reassure Meng Ge, Fang Jie returned to the east bank with Meng Ge and the others by boat.
"Khan, have you ever seen a fleet of this size?"
Standing on the deck of the big ship, Fang Xie seemed a little proud.
"Never."
Meng Ge said: "It is common to see tens of thousands of horses galloping on the grassland, but it is rare to see a thousand sails sailing together. The Han people are indeed very capable, but it costs a lot of money to build such a large ship?"
"Sure, so it will hurt if it's ruined. But it's worth it."
Fang Jie replied inexplicably.
"What do you mean?"
Fang Jie suddenly smiled: "I mean, this business is not a loss. These four or five hundred big ships are indeed expensive, and it would be a pity if they were all destroyed. But if it were you, 160,000 to 70,000 wolf riders, If it is destroyed, it will be destroyed."
Fang Jie seemed to be smiling freely: "Do you still remember what I told you before, no matter what your purpose in coming to the Central Plains is, it is an indisputable fact that you burned, killed and looted along the way. Abandon the national feud? I also said that I want to avenge the Han people who were killed by you."
Meng Ge's face changed drastically, and before he could react, Fang Jie had already jumped up.
In the distance, a large ship began to sink slowly, and the wolf cavalry on the large ship shouted in panic. And those boatmen also jumped into the river one after another. These boatmen are good at water, and today's Yishui is surprisingly calm, so it is not difficult for them to swim to the other side.
Meng Ge's face was as white as paper, but his eyes were as red as if filled with blood!
"Fang Jie! You shameless villain!"
He roared, but the person he scolded had already stepped on a bamboo pole and rowed to the opposite bank.
"I'll exchange 400 ships for 200,000 of your lives, Brother Meng, you shouldn't trust your enemies."
The sound was already far away, somewhat ethereal.
The boatman on the big boat dared to jump off the boat and swim away, but the wolf cavalry who could not swim at all did not dare. They could only shout and curse in panic, trying to operate the big ship, but the bottom of the ship had been pierced, and they couldn't control it at all. This is an extremely magnificent scene. On the river, one after another, large ships slowly sank to the bottom of the river one after another.
When they got to the shore, Fang Jie saw that the boatmen had returned, so he immediately ordered to send a signal.
The fireworks exploded in the sky, and the upstream interception suddenly released water!
Why is Yishui so calm today
Because Fang Jie makes it calm!
Why is Yishui so cruel now
Because it is also Fang Jie's soldier!
How can we not avenge national hatred
