When Hei Muhan heard this word, the first thing he thought of was Tian Khan sitting in the golden tent.
For the continuation of the tribe, he chose to give half of his wealth to the other party.
Then he thought of King Dai, the young man who had only seen two sides from a distance. The other party did not have many demands on him and only hoped that his tribe could join Datong Mansion.
But this is a price that the other party cannot bear.
Because he is a prairie man.
Hei Muhan looked at the masked man and said bitterly: "What do you want?"
"On behalf of the king, as long as you can do this, the information this time does not require you to provide other additional rewards. But if you fail to do it, your tribe and people will become sacrifices, how about it?"
The masked man lowered his voice and said.
"see a visitor out."
Hei Muhan did not continue to bargain with the other party, but directly issued an eviction order.
The bet between him and King Dai was an honest bet between men. Even if he lost, he could still preserve the entire tribe and people, but he would only lose the freedom of the grassland people.
But the person in front of him wanted to completely put him on the opposite side of Dai Wang.
Once he accepts the other party's intelligence, no matter he wins or loses, his tribe will become a victim of this war.
So Hei Muhan decisively refused.
The masked man was originally ready to continue talking, but was stunned for a moment before he realized that the other party had rejected his conditions.
"What did you say? Don't you want to win?"
The masked man asked in a deep voice.
"I want to win, but not at the expense of my tribe. It seems you don't understand me enough. For the sake of my tribe, I can make an enemy of anyone."
Black Muhan turned around and said.
"Okay, okay, you are indeed the person that the Lord likes. So, this information can be regarded as a gift. How good you can do it depends on your ability."
The masked man took out a piece of parchment from his arms, then turned around and disappeared to the other side of the big tent.
After a while, a patrol team arrived.
"Chief, are you okay?" The warrior in the tribe looked at Hei Muhan.
Hei Muhan waved his hand, and then picked up the parchment from the table.
This is a map, and what is drawn on it is Hujian Gorge.
Among them, the key standard is a tunnel. It is not stated who dug it, but it can reach directly to the middle section of Hujian Gorge.
"Could this be a trap?"
Hei Muhan looked at the map and fell into deep thought.
…
"Second Master, I have given the map to the Mongolian chief, but there is one thing I don't understand: why should we unite with the Mongols to murder the king?"
The masked man who delivered the message was kneeling in front of the second leader of the Wild Wolf Gang.
The second boss is sharpening a palm-sized knife.
"Think of how carefree we used to be in Wuzhou Mountain. Although the Wild Wolf Gang is bigger now than before, we have lost our freedom and have completely turned into the lackeys of the king."
"My eldest brother is stubborn, so I, as a brother, can only take action. As long as the young prince dies, we can go back to the old days."
The second master sharpened the knife, and without waiting for the masked man to ask further questions, he came to him in two steps and bled him directly.
"Brother, don't blame me. For everyone's freedom, I have to sacrifice you. Brother, I will remember what you have done for everyone."
After the second boss disposed of the bodies of the masked men, they went to the Juyi Hall.
Wild Wolf Gang Meeting Hall.
At this time, the Wild Wolf Gang has unified most of the gangs in Shanxi, and its membership has reached 8,000. Even if we look at today's Ming Dynasty, it can be said to be a decisive green forest force.
In addition to helping Scar, there are now more than twenty other leaders in the gang.
The Juyi Hall was already full of people, and the second master walked in last, and sat down on the right side of Scar.
"Brother, I'm late. I received a secret report that the Blackwood Tribe is planning to attack Hujian New City again."
The second master said softly.
"Oh? You are serious about this. I thought they would stop for a while after suffering a big loss. Can you have more specific information?"
Scarface asked.
The second master shook his head and said: "The brother who found out this information was seriously injured and died after saying this."
"In this case, let's have someone send a letter to the prince."
…
When Zhu Gui received the information from the Wild Wolf Gang, he was making arrangements for the next step.
Today's Hujian City can be said to be impregnable under the defense of Hongyi's artillery.
However, yesterday's battle still shocked him so much that he began to think about whether his next plan to build Blackwood City should be changed.
At the very least, we need to find a better way to defend against the Mongolian cavalry.
The best solution is of course body armor, but Zhu Gui cannot afford the experience expenditure of equipping the entire army.
So he could only settle for the next best thing and let the blacksmith start making iron helmets, especially facial protection, to achieve all-round protection.
Although this kind of helmet cannot withstand the frontal force of a strong bow, it has a very good defensive effect against the rain of projectile arrows that the Mongols are good at.
Coupled with defensive measures such as armor and shields mixed with patches, losses can be minimized.
However, the information from the Wild Wolf Gang made Zhu Gui a little confused again.
Was the previous battle just a cover-up by Hei Muhan? Did he actually come up with other means?
However, because the information about the Wild Wolf Gang was very vague, Zhu Gui didn't know what the other party's plot was.
Moreover, tens of thousands of workers have gathered in Hujian City, and the daily food consumption is not a small amount. He can no longer waste time.
So he had no choice but to call Xu Yingxu overnight and tell him about the incident.
Xu Yingxu had no better way. He just asked him to strengthen vigilance at night to prevent Mongolian sneak attacks.
Xu Yingxu personally led 3,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of laborers, and took advantage of the darkness to rush to the original base of the Blackwood tribe and start building the city.
It was natural for Xu Yingxu to do such a dangerous job of going deep into the grassland, and it was natural for Zhu Gui to stay behind.
But no one expected that on the second night after Xu Yingxu left, a large number of Mongolians suddenly appeared in the center of Hujian City.
They attacked the city walls on both sides.
Zhu Gui was awakened from her sleep.
When he came to the city wall, he discovered that there were fires everywhere in the city, and there were even more shouts of killing.
Fortunately, the Mongols did not bring their war horses, otherwise Zhu Gui would have to abandon the city and escape.
At the same time as the shouts of killing rang out in the city, thousands of Mongolian cavalry suddenly appeared outside the city.
Although they had no siege weapons, the waves of arrows still caused heavy losses to the soldiers on the wall.
