Huyan Yunyao looked at the slightly stiff expressions of the two old foxes, Wanyan Chiezha, with a slight smile on her lips, drank the tea in the cup and put it on the table beside her.
"Why, judging from the reactions of the two seniors, it's obvious that they understand the purpose of Ben Khan's coming?"
"The city, which is impregnable in your eyes, is so vulnerable. Now I have to wonder whether it was the right decision to go south to seize the city and defend it."
Wanyan and Chizha looked at each other silently and did not answer immediately, but chose to remain silent.
They knew that their inference just now could be confirmed. There were indeed spies secretly planted by Huyan Yunyao in Chongzhou and Jianzhou.
Thinking about it, Emperor Dalong has an imperial bodyguard on the surface, and a spy secretly collecting information for him. As for whether there are other forces behind the scenes, they don't know.
The Queen has the Jinwu Guards in her hands, and the Admiral's Secret Agent secretly controls the situation, so that the Queen can understand some things that are difficult to do openly.
Huyan Yunyao is also the king of a country. How can he not have some secretly hidden forces in his hands? After all, although the Turkic grasslands are unified, many tribes are still living a nomadic life. If no one is watching their every move, it is impossible to think about it.
Very possible.
Compared with Yeluha who has been serving in the army, Wanyan Chizha has experienced a lot of intrigues in the palace since he was a child, and his mind is much sharper for him.
Recalling what Huyanjunyao said just now, Wanyan Chiezha accurately caught a word in Huyanjunyao's words that he and Yeluha did not know.
Food matters!
Wanyan Chizha suddenly had an unpleasant feeling in his heart. Is there something wrong with the food and grass? He hurriedly looked at Huyan Yunyao and said, "Liangcao...Does Khan know about the food and grass?"
"
After all, Wanyan Chizha was extraordinary. The moment he blurted out the words, he adjusted his mentality and asked the question to Huyan Yunyao again, as if he already knew about the food and grass matter.
Opposite Yeruha was startled, and subconsciously looked at Wanyan Chiezha. When he saw Wanyan Chiezha's slightly narrowed eyes, Yeruha seemed to understand something, and drank tea silently to hide his inner uneasiness.
I kept thinking in my heart, is there also a crisis in food and grass?
Huyan Yunyao's heart moved, and she looked at Wanyan Chizai with a shocked look on her face. After looking for a moment, she didn't notice anything was wrong.
No matter how talented Huyan Yunyao is, it has only been a few years since the establishment of the royal court in the unified grassland. Faced with an old fox like Wanyan Chizha who has been in the court for decades, he will inevitably fall behind.
It’s not that Wanyan Chizha is any smarter than Huyan Yunyao, it’s just that as people get older, it’s easy to conceal their emotions, making it difficult for people to figure out what’s true and what’s false.
Huyan Yunyao sighed with a complex expression on her pretty face: "Before I went south to seize the city, I told you my worries. We can go deep into the hinterland of the dragon to seize the city, and the army of the dragon can also counterattack our rear hinterland.
."
"However, Dalong did something that even Ben Khan did not expect. They went deep into our rear hinterland. However, instead of attacking the city and occupying our territory, he looted our food and supplies."
"According to the message received by this Khan, the four-month supply of food and grass in the Turks has been looted by the dragon cavalry who have penetrated deep into the hinterland of our grassland. There is no way to mobilize another batch of food and grass in a short period of time."
"After something like this happened to me, the Turks, I think the food and grass from your Jin country will be the same."
"I didn't expect that Ben Khan's words came true. Dalong really took a risk and made a move on our rear!"
Wanyan Chizha's heart was shaking wildly, and his arms could not help but tremble. In order to avoid Huyan Yunyao seeing something, he held his armor tightly with both hands to hide the uneasiness in his heart.
How could I have forgotten this incident? When I went south to seize the city, I had already written to the Queen, suggesting that she issue an order to Jingbian so that the Dalong soldiers and horses who might go deep into the rear hinterland to carry out revenge would be cleared. In the end, because of the lack of food and grass,
I was exhausted and had to return home.
Everything was planned, but why did the dragon focus on his own food and grass?
Wanyan Chizha secretly hammered his thigh, forcing himself to calm down. He and Yale were still discussing how Dalong's new batch of food and grass should be shipped, and how to find a way to plunder this batch of food and grass.
Never would I have thought that before I even took action, others would have already succeeded.
Yeruha, who was looking at the two of them, suddenly stood up and looked at Huyan Yunyao and the others in disbelief.
"be cheated!"
"Our food and grass were looted, the battle line was stretched so long, and the time was so short, at least 200,000 troops were needed to succeed in one blow!"
"Isn't it true that the number of soldiers and horses going south to seize the city is not as large as we expected?"
"Lingzhou has more than 100,000 people, Hanzhou has more than 100,000 people, and Jianzhou has more than 100,000 people. In other words, the real number of troops who went south to seize the city is less than 500,000. We have been fooled!"
"An army of more than 800,000 was fooled by an enemy army of less than 500,000. They were so suppressed that they did not dare to act rashly! This... this... this...
....."
Yeruha didn't say anything for a long time. There was only a strong sense of humiliation and misery in his heart.
After decades of service in the army, I was once again played in such a miserable state. I don’t think I had ever felt this helpless when I was facing off against older guys like Wan Buhai and Jin Yi!
Huyan Yunyao silently looked at Yeruha, whose body was trembling a little.
"It seems that Senior Yale finally understands that we were not only fooled, but also lost 150,000 elite troops!"
"Maybe in ten days and a half, we will have more than 150,000 troops. Once Lingzhou and Hanzhou are taken back by the enemy, the remaining troops in our hands will be less than 600,000!"
"In just one month, nearly 300,000 troops and horses were lost, which made Ben Khan feel helpless and frustrated."
"Every move you make is expected by others... No, it should be said that every step is completed under the control of others!"
"From the beginning to the end, we did not capture Dalong's fifteen cities by relying on our strength, nor did we defeat Dalong's troops and retreat."
"Instead, we walked step by step into a carefully laid trap at the beginning. We gathered our troops in one place and divided them into several cities without being able to join forces quickly, so that we could be defeated one by one and eat away at our strength bit by bit!"
"The human heart is really unfathomable!"
Senior brother, you have such a far-reaching plan. From the time we went south, we have fallen into the trap you carefully laid. You...
Huyan Yunyao had nothing to say in her heart, and there was only deep fear in her pretty eyes.
Huyanjunyao's words made Yeruha fall heavily on the chair. Thinking of the speculation in Bashu's letter, combined with Huyanjunyao's words just now, Yeleha instantly felt chills all over his body.
From beginning to end, whether attacking or retreating, are everyone involved in a carefully planned overall situation?
"The king...your lord..., we...we..."
Yeluha's heart was shaken wildly, and Wanyan Chizha's heart was also filled with huge waves.
In my mind, I couldn't help but recall Mr. Liu's carefree and dandy demeanor.
The layout of a shocking conspiracy.
In an instant, a dusty scene suddenly appeared in Wanyan Chizha's heart.
"Uncle Emperor, can you understand this chess game?"
"I'm stupid, this chess game is messy and has no customization at all. It doesn't include any rules for playing chess. It's just random moves. I really can't understand the meaning!"
"I can't understand it either. I can't understand what's hidden in this chess game."
"I dare to ask, where did your Majesty get this game?"
"Unscrupulous... I asked Yue'er about the chess game that Liu Mingzhi played in front of Yue'er in the Royal Garden, and Yue'er said that it was his father's game, his own game!"
"That kid's game? Isn't this a random chess game he set up just to make Yue'er happy?"
"It's hard to say, but take a closer look and see if this chess game looks like a map?"
"Map? Rong Chen looks at it carefully!"
Recalling the appearance of the chessboard in his mind, Wanyan Chiezha suddenly looked at the sand table behind him. Combined with the appearance of the chessboard in his mind, Wanyan Chiezha couldn't help but tremble.
"The world is a plate, and the soldiers and horses of the Three Kingdoms are chess pieces!"
"Does it mean that you have already started the layout from that time, or earlier?"
Huyan Yunyao looked blankly at Wanyan Chiezha, who was trembling and talking to himself.
"Senior, what are you muttering about?"
"Haha... You are right, this is a layout full of shocking conspiracies!"
"A game that only belongs to Liu Mingzhi!"
"And all of us are pawns in his game, including himself!"
