Chapter 257: Bait

"Returning to the careful work, the grassland has returned to calm." Lei Xun said.

According to the information sent back by the intelligence department of the Military Intelligence Department, after three months of war, the small tribes on the grassland disappeared. Either it was merged by the surrounding medium-sized tribes, or the whole family was merged into the Tianji tribe.

"In the entire grassland, there are only the Tianqi tribe in the center and eight medium-sized tribes around it, one in the north and the south, and three in the east and west. The Tianfeng tribe in the north of Youyi County, after annexing the Tianlian tribe in the west, It annexed the small tribes in the east and became the only grassland tribe in the south, greatly increasing its strength."

Ouyang Shuo nodded. What he cares about now is what the grassland tribes will do next.

"Is there any sign of the medium-sized tribe uniting?" Ouyang Shuo asked.

According to the normal strategy, it is the best choice for the medium-sized tribes to unite and kill the Tianji tribe together. The problem is, although the Tianqi tribe lost the western part of the town, they are still the biggest force on the grassland, and they have accumulated power in the grassland for a long time. For these medium-sized tribes to attack the Tianji tribe, they couldn't make up their minds for a while.

"The eight medium-sized tribes have indeed formed a loose alliance. Within the alliance, due to the lack of promotion by powerful figures, there has been no action. On the contrary, the medium-sized tribes on the east and west sides have already happened in the process of merging small tribes. There was a lot of friction, and there was a rift between them. It was very difficult for them to work together."

Ouyang Shuo smiled coldly, "Hey, this is the evil of human nature. Maybe the medium-sized tribes on the east and west sides are still calling each other's attention."

"Junhou Yingming, there are indeed signs of this."

"The crux of the matter is how do we step in and re-disturb this pool of water."

Lei Xun, as the three giants of the Military Intelligence Department, has a very unique strategic vision and is also very sensitive to intelligence. His heart moved, and he said: "Your Majesty, there is another piece of information. According to detailed reports, the Tianfeng tribe is annexing the small east. After the tribe, the confidence within the tribe was high and their ambitions swelled. Some nobles in the tribe began to turn their greedy eyes to Friendship County."

Ouyang Shuo's eyes turned cold, and he said in a cold voice, "You mean, the Tianfeng Tribe wants to make an idea of ​​Youyi County?"

"It's not impossible. Junhou, think about it, the market outside Youyi County has a lot of goods traded every day. Before they were busy dealing with small tribes, they could only exchange materials from the market obediently. Now that the annexation war is over, The predatory nature of nomadic tribes has been exposed again." Lei Xun analyzed calmly.

Lei Xun's information actually opened up Ouyang Shuo's thinking, a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, he suddenly had an idea, and said solemnly: "In this case, we should simply follow the plan, get rid of the Tianfeng tribe, deter the group, and forcefully intervene in grassland affairs You are right, everyone is not guilty, but pregnant is guilty. This Marquis estimates that not only the Tianfeng tribe, but also other tribes are not peaceful."

"But." Lei Xun was a little hesitant, "Will this cause the tribes in the grassland to fight against each other? What if they put down their internal struggles and unite with the outside world?"

Ouyang Shuo nodded appreciatively, and said, "Of course this possibility is not ruled out. Therefore, the first thing we have to do is to destroy their alliance, so that other medium-sized tribes have no time to care about each other. Didn't you say that the medium-sized tribes on the east and west sides Don’t you agree with each other? Arrange detailed operations, provoke their relationship, fuel them, and let them kill each other.”

"Understood." Lei Xun felt that the burden on him was heavy.

*************

From November 2nd to November 5th, the grassland, which had just recovered its calm, became noisy again.

In just a few days, five or six incidents of robbery occurred one after another in the border areas of six medium-sized tribes on the east and west sides. The looters are sophisticated in means and clear in purpose, leaving no one alive. None of the herdsmen on the frontier was spared, their whole families were killed, or their cattle, sheep and livestock were robbed.

Stained with blood, telling endless desolation.

There are various indications that the murderer killed people across the border, and pointed the finger at the tribe on the opposite side. The hatred within the tribe was fully mobilized, and the voices of asking for war kept coming and going.

Naturally, the high-level tribe would not be so reckless. They were worried that someone was deliberately sowing discord. The object of suspicion was naturally the Tianji tribe that had been silent for three months.

They agreed that it was the Tianji tribe who planned these series of robbery and killing incidents. Its purpose is naturally to destroy the medium-sized tribal alliance and resolve the crisis of genocide.

Before the high-level investigation was clear, the nobles in the tribe began to be assassinated, either in their own camps or in the wilderness.

All of a sudden, there was panic.

At this moment, the second brigade stationed in Daying North of the city left the Daying North of the city in the name of training, crossed the Friendship River with great fanfare, and disappeared.

Not long after the Second Brigade left, a large amount of iron ore and grain was transported to the market warehouse outside Youyi County. The unintentionally scattered iron ore caught the eyes of the nomads trading in the market.

*************

Tianfeng Tribe, leader Yazhang.

"Patriarch, this is an excellent opportunity, don't hesitate any longer."

As a neighbor of Youyi County, the movements of Daying and Bazaar in the north of the city could not be hidden from the eyes of Tianfeng Tribe. They were already eager to move, and they were not excited when they got the news.

"That's right, patriarch, just arrange a team of thousands of people to ensure that the market will be taken down."

Dari'achi sat at the head, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Use your brains, the actions of Youyi County have too many loopholes, it is obviously a trap."

"Patriarch, no matter whether it is a trap or not, the final competition is military strength. As long as we win the market, what can the army of Youyi County do against us? Even if it is a trap, let them smash their teeth and swallow their blood." The person who spoke was the general of the tribe, General Huqitu, Dari'achi's confidant.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Hu Qitu's point of view was unanimously agreed by everyone.

Dari Achi's heart moved. It would be a lie to say that he was not interested in the materials in the market. However, as the leader of the tribe, he considered the issue more cautiously: "What you said, Hu Qitu, is not unreasonable. The problem is that there have been successive assassinations on the grassland in the past few days, and the rain is about to come. At this time, it is not appropriate to move lightly. "

"The patriarch, the last general thinks that this is the case, so he should be more decisive, and take this opportunity to obtain a large amount of iron ore and food, so that he can remain invincible." Hu Qitu's attitude was firm and resounding.

Hu Qitu's point of view coincides with that of the nobles of the tribe.

Dari Achi sighed in his heart, and Hu Qitu's views were deafening, making him feel whether he was too conservative. If he wanted to dominate, it was good to be cautious, but too cautious would miss great opportunities.
