The Water Grass Tribe is not far from the border, and the guard who was sprayed by Ma Rujing went back.
After meeting Chu Qing, he told Chu Qing the situation. Chu Qing was not surprised. Lao Ma was good at guarding. Lao Ma would definitely not agree to such a dangerous military expedition.
Moreover, Chu Qing did not tell his friends about his plan. He just wanted everyone to be prepared. He wanted to do something big, and this big thing requires some prerequisites. Only when these conditions are met can he implement it.
this plan.
The three biggest prerequisites are: first, Munaola's acting skills must be passable, second, Lao Ma is smart enough, and third, Prairie Lao Wu is stupid enough.
The first and third "prerequisites" arrived quickly. Munaola's younger brother, an extremely thin Liangren, came to the water grass ranch alone.
He was tall and slender, not looking cool at all, but like a frail scholar. Chu Qing personally ran out to greet him.
The man's skin is dark, which seems to be caused by long-term exposure to the scorching sun, but it gives people the impression of a frail scholar. He is gentle, has red phoenix eyes, a high nose, and handsome facial features. He is considered a rare handsome man. Unfortunately, he will have to use the skills of later generations.
From a standard perspective.
On the grassland, he is not considered "handsome" because he is not strong enough.
In Guan Nei, he is still not considered "handsome" because he is not white enough.
It doesn't matter whether he is handsome or not, the main thing is the news brought by this man named Munajue.
"As you wish, the fifth prince Aler fell into the trap."
Chu Qing jumped three feet high in excitement: "Are you sure?"
Munajue smiled gently, took out a piece of sheepskin from his arms, with men written all over it, and slowly placed it in front of Chu Qing.
Chu Qing looked intently and frowned.
Munajue asked softly: "Is it okay?"
Fu San leaned his head to take a look, and frowned fiercely: "Dong Tubu has a huge appetite."
Chu Qing raised his head, his eyes blazing: "This is done, I promise you on behalf of the court."
"Okay, I trust you, my brother, I trust you, I trust you and Mr. Tao."
Munajue nodded: "It would be best if we could wait until the 15th, but the longer the time is delayed, the greater your risk, our risk, and everyone's risk will be."
"Then on the 15th, on the 15th, I will take someone with me!"
Having said this, Chu Qing came to Munajue and cupped his hands: "If this happens, you two brothers will be the benefactors of the border army."
Munajue laughed at himself: "Golden Wolf King Khan...he is crazy. I don't like war."
Sighing, Munajue left the camp, got on his horse, and left the water and grass pasture.
After Chu Qing returned to the desk, he looked at the sheepskin on the table and couldn't laugh or cry.
"Sure enough, I have a big appetite."
Fu San knew Chu Qing's overall plan and nodded slightly: "But the greater the appetite, the more determined the people representing the Dongtu Department will be."
"Yes, but if this thing is done, the conditions they put forward are nothing. Just prepare your horses."
"Master, do you want to return to Guan and persuade Ma Rujing in person?"
"Yes, no one else can convince him except me."
"Okay, little one, let's go."
After changing into his clothes, Chu Qing also shook his head and smiled bitterly.
In fact, he doesn't like to deal with Ma Rujing, just like many young people in later generations who cannot communicate with the old people. These old people are old-fashioned, stubborn, old-school, and tough. It's not that they are unwise, but their vision and ideas of looking at things are too "stable."
", and many elderly people don't like changes, let alone take risks.
The horse was brought, and Chu Qing asked someone to call Sheng Zhaojun over.
After Sheng Zhaojun came over, he was extremely nervous: "Is it done? Is it done? Is it done?"
"It's done. Prairie Lao Wu fell into the trap. The plan goes ahead as scheduled, ten days later. But it would be best if we could wait until the fifteenth day. However, the risk is greatest on the fifteenth day."
Sheng Zhaojun nodded slightly: "Yes, on the 15th, the Iron Wolf Guards, Nu Congjun and the Pioneer Tribe of the Golden Wolf King will be arriving soon."
"In this way, I will return to the pass and try to bring more troops with me. You go there first, join the Peregrine Division, go to the Dongtu Division, and lay an ambush."
"Then when will you come back, young master?"
"I will try to mobilize as many people as possible if I have time. If I am late, I will proceed as planned."
"good!"
Sheng Zhaojun didn't know whether he learned it from Xiao Yi or from whom. He rubbed his hands excitedly: "It's a big job. It's more refreshing than killing people."
Chu Qing laughed loudly, got on his horse, and Fu San left the camp and rushed back to the border.
The two men galloped on horseback and traveled all night, and Kankan arrived at the border at dawn.
Fu San pulled his neck and shouted a few times. The guard on the wall confirmed his identity and then lowered the hanging basket.
Because he had to rush, Chu Qing rode Ping'er, who could be ridden by anyone, but Tao Shaozhang was not very good at riding. This horse had an extremely weird temperament and could not get on the hanging board. He didn't know whether it was because he was afraid of heights or something, and he neighed,
No matter what Chu Qing said, Ping'er stared at Chu Qing with her head, her eyes blinking pitifully.
In desperation, Chu Qing raised his head and shouted to open the city gate.
This must be Chu Qing. If it had been anyone else, it would have been two people riding two horses. They wanted to go through the city gate, but the guards on the city wall would have thrown down a few bricks and stones on them.
After pondering for a long time, I finally entered the pass and went straight to the Xiaoqi camp.
When they arrived at Xiaoqi Camp, Chu Qing was dumbfounded. Xiao Zhi told him that Ma Rujing left yesterday afternoon and went to Xunyang Road to inspect Jinge Town, Tongcheng and several cities.
This is a common practice. Now it is certain that Liang Rong is about to attack. Troops from various tribes are gathering on the grassland. According to common practice, the commander-in-chief of the border army needs to inspect several important cities and towns behind the border to ensure that once the war begins, all the troops will be attacked.
The government soldiers, garrison guards and auxiliary soldiers can rush to support immediately, and there are also issues such as city wall defense.
In addition, the imperial court also sent military reports, and will deploy troops from the other two border areas to consolidate border defense, including some supplies and so on.
"How come it's such a big deal? Such a big calculator always causes trouble at critical moments."
Chu Qing dismounted his horse and quickly entered the handsome tent. As if he were entering his own home, he sat directly behind the desk with his brows furrowed into the Chinese character "Chuan".
"Chu Jianzheng." Xiao Zhi asked confused: "Why are you looking for your adoptive father?"
"What are you doing for a kidney?" Chu Qing cursed and said, "When there is nothing to do, I go to this pestle every day, but when there is something to do, it disappears. Why is Comrade Lao Ma's consciousness so low?"
"Young Master, what should we do? Soldiers from the Sixth Battalion cannot leave the border without the command from the commander-in-chief."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi showed no signs of surprise on his face, and said cheerfully: "My foster father has a clever plan."
Chu Qing: "What do you mean?"
"My adoptive father told me before he left that if you send someone back again, even if you come back in person, you can say whatever you want, just two words."
"Call me daddy?"
"No need to talk!"
"Blank."
Fu San suggested: "How about talking to General Niu and General Yang?"
Chu Qing shook his head.
"Personal friends are not the same thing as personal friends. Even if these generals agree to their plan and lead the troops out of the border, even if it is finally done, Comrade Lao Ma's detention of the commander-in-chief will be as if it was in vain. Lao Ma and I will also
There is a gap that can no longer be repaired, not to mention that it will damage his reputation as a commander-in-chief. If things go wrong, the imperial court will transfer him."
Xiao Zhi took a deep look at Chu Qing, and a smile flashed across his eyes: "Although I am not convinced by you, Master Chu can say such words, which makes me look at Master Chu with admiration..."
Chu Qing, who was full of anger, yelled: "You are considered a six, I have to obey you, get out of here, don't let it be an eyesore."
Xiao Zhi: “…”
"Master, what should we do? We don't have enough manpower."
Chu Qing gritted his teeth: "Let's go find Fatty Tao!"
Chu Qing, furious, stood up and led Fu San out of the military tent.
When passing by the confused Ou Zhi, Chu Qing cursed: "Look at your uncle."
Xiao Zhi was angry: "Who is looking at you?"
"You're blocking my breathing."
Chu Qing, who was full of evil fire and had no place to send it out, stepped on Xiao Zhi hard again: "You still blocked my feet and landed on the ground, damn it."
Xiao Zhi was furious, but he could only dare to be angry and dare not speak.
There is no way I can still have a strong left arm, and I have not become the stupidest general in the history of the Chang Dynasty. I have to thank Chu Qing.
