Jinyi Night Walk

Liu Yujue opened the tent and entered, and the ugly Xia Xun was still scribbling on the ground, so he called out: "Brother! …

"Oh! Yujue is here, sit down. What did you gain today?" Seeing him, Xia Xun hurriedly patted the felt blanket beside him.

Liu Yujue was originally a member of the circus troupe. According to what he said, he and Xia Xun had a friendship of master and servant and brotherhood. It was reasonable to visit him often, and Guo Yixuan had no doubts about it.

Liu Yujue sat cross-legged on the felt blanket and sighed listlessly: "I haven't heard any useful information. We are so close to Timur now, but it's hard to make any progress. It's really discouraging to think about it."

Xia Xun smiled and said: "Don't worry, there is always a way. Any clue may be used by us, but it doesn't necessarily have to be directly related to our purpose. I have taught you this truth a long time ago. Forgot again? Tell me, what did you gain today?"

Liu Yujue told Xia Xun everything he heard and saw.

Xia Xun poured him a cup of tea, while sipping the tea slowly, while listening to his story, when he heard him mentioning the fact that there was no military discipline when drinking was allowed in the military, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he just raised his hand , Liu Yujue knew what he was thinking, and immediately shut up, staring at him quietly.

Xia Xun tilted his head slightly, staring at the corner of the tent, where Tang Sai'er was practicing.The flexibility of her illusion opponent is extremely high, just like martial arts, it needs to be practiced every day, Tang Sai'er is sitting in the corner of the tent at the moment, holding a teacup in her hand, and the teacup sometimes dances around her like a dance The fingers danced nimbly, disappearing from time to time, and then miraculously reappearing with the opening of a hand.

Xia Xun seemed to be staring at her, but gradually his eyes lost focus, as if looking through Tang Sai'er's body, looking at nothingness.Liu Yujue looked at Xia Xun seriously, and saw that he sometimes nodded, sometimes shook his head, sometimes frowned in thought, and sometimes led a smile. Just thinking about it for half an hour made his legs numb. Xia Xun was still thinking about it.

Yu Jue couldn't help thinking: "Brother, is he going to take advantage of this? However, even if the army is drinking and the order is chaotic, it is impossible for Timur's pro-military guard battalion to be undisciplined, let alone allow people to approach Tiemu. Ni, it is impossible to get close to him in full view, let alone assassinate him.

Furthermore, if you want the military to ban alcohol, unless there is a major event that can make Timur extremely happy, what can the elder brother do to make Timur ecstatic and break the ban on drinking?

With the Duke's ability, I am afraid that unless our army is feigned defeat, Timur's army will fight a big victory.

However, this is the first battle in which the two great powers of the East and the West collided, and the morale of the army is very important. If there is a false surrender, only the general will know, and it is impossible to tell the soldiers that the morale is extremely low. won the entire war.What's more, the Duke is now trapped in the enemy's camp, how can he contact Daming's army and ask General Song Sheng to act according to his ideas? "

"Brother, what's the matter, have you figured out a solution?" After a long time, Liu Yujue couldn't help asking.Xia Xun shook his head and said, "I need to think about this matter."

Liu Yujue sighed and said: "Brother, it is really difficult to make Timur's idea, especially the time is short, we can't allow us to think carefully and prepare carefully, brother, if it really doesn't work, we will implement the next plan, regardless of success Or not, just do the assassination, leave evidence pointing to Khali Sultan at the critical moment, and force back Timur's right army, this is also a miracle!"

Xia Xun shook his head and said: "If assassination is really impossible, then we can take this bad strategy, but if there is a chance, we must kill Timur as much as possible. The Timur Empire is too huge, and such a huge country, maintaining it It is Timur alone, if Timur does not die, Hari Sultan will not be able to take away too many people, nor will he be able to cause civil strife in the Timur Empire."

"Such a powerful force needs to pay a lot of sacrifices to conquer it from the outside, but it can get twice the result with half the effort if we start from the inside. How can we give up so easily when we finally have the internal support of Harry Sultan? Mu'er, I already have several proposals, and the success rate is more than [-]%!"

Xia Xun took a deep breath and said, "Assassination of a king is [-]% possible, and it's worth the risk, let alone [-]%? However, I can't kill invisible with these few secret cases.

Yu Jue, the assassin of the highest level, is not a one-hit kill, nor is it that no one knows that you killed someone. "

Liu Yujue said in shock: "One hit is sure to hit, one is already a master, and when it's done, he will go away without leaving his body and name, and he is even a super master. This is not enough, so how can we achieve the highest level?"

Xia Xun said: "The highest state is to make the deceased look like he was killed. Only in this way can he be the most successful assassination and get the greatest benefit! This is what makes me difficult. However, I can't think of a more appropriate way, and I will take out one of the several plans I have already come up with."

Speaking of this, Xia Xun unexpectedly remembered how he got rid of the four secret agents of Jinyiwei in Qingzhou. Zhang Shisan was cruel, Feng Xihui was skilled in martial arts, Liu Xu was cautious in nature, and An Litong was cunning and suspicious, but he ignored all these stumbling blocks. Eliminated them one by one. The method he used at that time had achieved the state of "throw away the clothes after the incident, without leaving body and name". Everyone knew that they were killed by others, but they could not find out who killed them. !

Killing with one blow is a brilliant killer, and it is also the realm that many killers pursue all their lives, but killing without a name is an even more brilliant realm.A killer, if he is famous in the killer world, even ranked first or second, this person is not far from death.

A truly brilliant killer is that no one knows you are so clever.And this is not the highest state, the more advanced state is to kill a person, but make everyone think that the person killed is just a natural death.This requires wisdom, extremely high wisdom, careful thinking and strict logical reasoning ability.

Since leaving Qingzhou, Xia Xun has fought against the sky and people, with a lot of wisdom, courage and strategy, every pass and every hurdle has been overcome by him.But this time, he still needs to fight against himself. Only by surpassing himself can he design a flawless killing plan.

He needs to break through many security guards to assassinate a king!

He needs to successfully kill the king who is under strict protection!

He needs to disguise this assassination as a natural death!

He needs to try his best to ensure that his people get out of the murder scene!

In the end, he needs to get rid of his "allies" and return to Daming safely with men, women, big and small!

The plan he designed must try to ensure that he can pass five levels in a row, and any level is an almost insurmountable peak!

Timur is in good spirits today. The 69-year-old man sat quietly on his white bear leather seat, leaning sideways, with his cheeks on the soft fur, listening carefully to the opinions of his subordinates.

Shaharu's left army was belated and finally arrived at the assembly point.In this regard, Timur did not give too much criticism.He is a cold-blooded, iron-fisted king, but he is also the patriarch of a large family, a father.The old son and the eldest grandson are always loved by the elders, and it is no exception for Timur, the great emperor.

He has only two biological sons left. The third son is weak and sick. He has been staying in Samarkand for many years. His outstanding achievements are all created by him or his other descendants. He doesn't like this third son who has made no achievements. , and the fourth son is brave and good at fighting, and he is the youngest among his sons, so he is the most favored by him.

Besides, his plan had already been planned ahead of time. He chose to march in winter because crossing the desert in summer was almost an impossible task. The heat was so hot that even birds did not dare to fly over the desert.But he didn't want to choose winter combat. Winter combat was obviously more unfavorable to the attacking side, and it would add a lot of unnecessary trouble to him.Now this time is just right, the spring is warm, the glaciers are thawing, and the climate is just right.

Another point is that the commander-in-chief of the right-hand army, his grandson and half-Harry Sultan, has already taken military power by him. If he punishes his commander-in-chief of the left-hand army at this time, then he will need to completely redeploy the army. God has not allowed him to do so.

The generals are at loggerheads, and there is only one focus of their dispute: the main direction of attack.

Some generals insisted that they should cross the Pamirs, attack Gaomi, and occupy sandbars, and use this as a base to seize Jiayuguan and enter Shaanxi, take all the land in Guanzhong, and look east at the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Those who insist on this opinion include Gaisuyeddin who has rushed to take over the military power of Harry Sultan, and they are members of the prince's faction.

Another group of generals believed that the right army, led by Gaisuyeddin, captured Hami and Shazhou, and stormed Jiayuguan.This part of the generals is mainly those who tend to be the fourth son of the emperor Shah Ru.

Those who support the route of using Jiayuguan as the main grave think that Qin Shihuang used Guanzhong, which can be attacked and defended as a base, to eliminate the six eastern countries and gain the whole world.The army of the Timurid Empire can follow Qin Shihuang's example. With their powerful force, as long as they take Guanzhong into their pocket, they have the ability to take over the entire Ming Dynasty.

The fourth son of the emperor, Shaharu, strongly opposed it. They said that the distance between Hami and Shazhou was too far, and it was Shalou, so it was not suitable for transportation in barren land. If Jiayuguan could not be conquered quickly, hundreds of thousands of troops would be stationed outside Jiayuguan It will form an embarrassing situation of a dilemma.

During the Battle of Yongle Huangjing, the Ming army in the direction of Shaanxi and Jiayuguan basically did not participate in the civil war. If this powerful border defense army relied on terrain and passes to resist Timur's army with all its strength, as long as it persisted for a few months, it would be difficult to sustain military supplies. The Mu'er Empire's army will collapse without a fight, because it is obvious that the Ming army will definitely clear the sandbar, and they will not get enough supplies from the local area.

The last point is: if Jiayuguan is the main attack, then the right army will undertake the main attack task, and the commander of the right army, Gai Suyeddin, has just taken over the troops of Harry Sultan, and most of the generals in the army are Harry's old troops. I am afraid that the transfer will not be so handy.

The Four Princes faction believed that they should enter the Central Plains from Shanxi.Because this road is a vast grassland, the war horses and their cattle and sheep can have enough to eat. They don't need to carry a lot of pasture, and the water source on the grassland is more abundant than in the desert.In addition, the north has been ruled by three generations of the Liao, Jin and Yuan Dynasties. The Ming ruled the north for only 40 years.

The people of the prince’s faction put forward two objections to this. One is that the road is relatively long, and the other is that Timur Khan greeted Xiemu and Waqi before sending troops, and expressed friendship to them, but Waqi’s The attitude is very ambiguous.To go through the Poyanmen Pass in Shanxi, you have to pass through Wacha's territory. If Wacha obstructs it, even makes peace with the Ming army, and attacks them from behind, the warriors of the empire will be in a dilemma.

In all fairness, although the purpose of the two factions is to fight each other's main attack line for the sake of success, the advantages and disadvantages they mentioned are all actual situations. In front of Timur, a wise emperor, If you want to suppress political opponents, you have to show some real skills.

In Timur's original plan, Jiayuguan was the main direction of attack, but if he wanted to attack Jiayuguan, he had to use the sandbar as a springboard. Yang Xu, the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, made a drastic rectification on the sandbar, and used bloody means to eradicate many tendencies. The giants of the Er Empire have already controlled the local forces in Shazhou.Now the sandbar outside Jiayuguan has undergone a major change from what he knew before.

In the original situation, because Daming worried that being too tough on the forces outside Jiayuguan would cause more people to fall to Timur, he took a gentle approach to the local forces in Shazhou. Basically, they believed too much in the steepness of Jiayuguan. It is laissez-faire.At that time, as long as the Timurid Empire fights for it while suppressing it, it will definitely be able to get the support of the local forces in Shazhou, at least they can get their supplies, whether it is to steal or force them to contribute.

But Yang Xu's stinky fish smelled like a pot of soup. Now as long as the army moves here, there must be a strong wall and clear fields, and all the soldiers and civilians will withdraw into the pass.The vast desert is their best protection, they can withdraw calmly, and remove the sandbar like a bone gnawed by a dog, leaving nothing behind.

The two factions were at a stalemate, and finally pushed this problem to Timur. When the two sides were arguing, Timur was already thinking nervously. With a cough, he said decisively in his old and powerful voice: "According to the previous discussion, the main attack is still at Jiayuguan, and the left army waits to move.

When marching and fighting, even if you are sure of victory, you should first consider your defeat.Once Jiayuguan cannot be taken by force, the actions of the left army may contain the main force of the Ming army so that they cannot reinforce Jiayuguan, and the right army will be supported by the Chinese army, and they will retreat and wait for orders.

If Jiayuguan is successfully opened, the left army will take Yanmenguan in Shanxi, one from the south and one from the north, and attack from both directions. By then, Wacha may not have the courage to fight me! "Tie Mu'er stood up slowly holding the handrail, and ordered in a deep voice: "The whole army is ready for battle, and the war will officially start in fifteen days!"Order Harry to hand over the army quickly!Send people to Wacha for a final diplomatic effort! "!.
