Chapter 115 Cao Mengyi Provides Intelligence
The tent was opened from the outside, and Ying Xuanze walked in alone, then pulled off the cloth covering Cao Mengyi's face.
Cao Mengyi opened his eyes slightly, and then opened them wide after his eyes adjusted to the bright light outside.
When he saw that the figure in front of him was Ying Xuanze, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and then he knelt on his knees, lowered his head and said loudly: "I greet the Marquis!"
"I'm only here to ask some questions. I have no intention of employing you, so you don't have to be so attentive to me." Ying Xuanze said indifferently.
Cao Mengyi's heart tightened, thinking that Ying Xuanze still didn't trust him, but he also knew that he couldn't be impatient.
"I understand. Please feel free to ask me anything, My Lord. I will tell you everything I know." Cao Mengyi continued to speak loudly.
Ying Xuanze smiled coldly. He moved a stool and sat down, looking down at Cao Mengyi from a condescending attitude.
"Except for the 100,000 Yinglong soldiers who died in the battle, how many Yinglong soldiers does Huang Chan have?"
Cao Mengyi answered without hesitation: "There are still 400,000 Yinglong troops, but the 100,000 Yinglong troops brought this time are elite troops. Huang Chan intends to let Huang Yan make military achievements."
"Among the remaining 400,000 Yinglong troops, 300,000 were newly recruited. Most of them were soldiers recruited from other generals, and their tacit understanding is average."
"And there are a small number of them... who were under the command of General Ying and your Excellency..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Ying Xuanze's expression became very cold, with a chill in his eyes, and his fists clenched quietly.
"Huang Chan, Wang Ziyi...you guys have made a really good plan!" These words almost came out of his mouth.
Among the 300,000 Yinglong troops, some are his father and his old subordinates, which means there is a possibility of rebellion.
For Huang Chan, losing these 100,000 elite soldiers was like losing an arm. There was no longer any army in Daying that could pose a threat to him.
Before he left the capital, he swore in front of the gate of Ying Mansion that he would take back everything he had lost!
The road to counterattack begins now!
After obtaining useful information, Ying Xuanze stood up and walked towards Cao Mengyi, intending to continue covering him with the black cloth.
Cao Mengyi suddenly said at this time: "My Lord! Is there another piece of information you are interested in?"
Ying Xuanze frowned: "Is it related to Huang Chan?"
"It's irrelevant, but you will definitely be interested!" Cao Mengyi raised his head and said with a firm look in his eyes.
"explain."
"After your father, General Ying, was stripped of his military power by the imperial court, civil unrest broke out in the Yandong region."
"After the Marquis and his family left for Xiliang, the civil unrest in the Yandong region became even more serious, with a tendency to rebel and become independent."
"Yandong is adjacent to Chao State. The ministers in the court all think that Chao State is behind the civil unrest in Yandong. Yandong is not peaceful now."
Ying Xuanze frowned, and he suddenly remembered that the edge of the grassland was the border of Chao State...
"My Lord, the Chao Kingdom was not included in the 'Seven Kingdoms Rebellion'. After years of development, their strength is probably not inferior to that of the Japanese Kingdom, but the Japanese Kingdom is far away from us, while the Chao Kingdom is a real threat."
"So you mean that Chao has ideas about the territory of Daying?" Ying Xuanze asked coldly.
Cao Mengyi nodded heavily: "Yes, the Yandong area should be the first target. After all, the Yandong area was seized by the Chao Kingdom and ruled for a period of time decades ago."
Ying Xuanze looked at Cao Mengyi meaningfully, then covered him with the cloth again and left the tent.
If his guess was correct, Chao State was definitely coveting the entire Daying rather than part of the territory, and the Yandong area was only a part of their plan.
There are many countries, big and small, around Daying, including loyal allies like India, and enemies like Chao who are eyeing it covetously.
If he was the ruler of Chao, he would not be able to shake Daying on his own, so he would have to find other allies.
And this ally must first of all be close, and secondly, be hostile to Daying.
After much thought, the Luge tribe located in the eastern part of the grassland is the most suitable alliance partner...
"I remember that the Korean Empire has great ironmaking technology, and the armor it manufactures is world-famous. If it is true as I imagined, then they have really run into my trap this time."
The corners of Ying Xuanze's mouth slightly raised, and even his steps seemed to be accompanied by a gust of wind.
Three days later, Ying Xuanze raised his right arm, and the 110,000 Tiger Guards behind him stopped advancing at the same time.
In three days, he had accumulated more than six million points, and he generously took out four million points to exchange for 400,000 armor-piercing arrows.
These armor-piercing arrows were distributed to the 40,000 Beiwei soldiers, so on average each person had ten.
After careful consideration, he exchanged all of the remaining two million points for the [Iron Floating Map].
If the Lugo tribe really accepted the aid of the Chao Kingdom, then there must be heavy armored cavalry among their cavalry.
How could a contest between heavy cavalry be complete without the Iron Floating Figure? He was looking forward to what would happen when his Iron Floating Figure met the Iron Floating Figure of this world.
[Exchange for 400,000 armor-piercing arrows, consuming a total of 4 million points! ]
[To redeem 500 Iron Floats, a total of 2.5 million points will be consumed! ]
Four hundred thousand armor-piercing arrows fell to the ground, and Yue Fei led the captains of each team to distribute these arrows to the 40,000 Beiwei troops.
The five hundred iron floats dismounted at the same time and struck their breastplates with their fists, making powerful metallic clanging sounds.
"Greetings, my lord!" Five hundred Iron Buddhas shouted in unison.
Ying Xuanze asked the five hundred iron floats to return to the team, and then led the team forward.
At noon that day, after a period of rest, 110,000 Tiger Guards entered the territory of the Luge tribe.
The Hu soldiers in charge of surveillance were shocked when they saw the aggressive Huben Army. They immediately mounted their horses and rushed to the next secret sentry point to inform them of the Huben Army's attack.
The information was passed on from one link to another, and soon the news reached the camp of the Luge tribe.
At this time, in the big tent where the Chanyu was, Lugo Hongjia was singing and dancing with a group of generals, while Nagorburu and his subordinates were sitting in an inconspicuous corner, eating ordinary food.
"Chanyu, this is too frustrating! After all, you are the leader of a tribe, but you eat such tasteless food. The Luge tribe is really going too far!" Naxi said in a low voice.
Nagorbru clenched his fists tightly after hearing this, but he still took a deep breath and whispered, "Don't say this again. We are living under someone else's roof right now, and we have no choice."
Naxi's expression changed slightly, and then he whispered, "It's the king."
Lu Gehongjia raised the wine glass that the maid had just filled. He smiled and looked at Nagor Bru in the corner and said loudly: "Brother Bru, it's been three days. Why hasn't the Zhenxi Marquis you mentioned come yet?"
