Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 146: Planning for Xuanhua Mansion, giving advice would be harmful to Tuo Lei

Wokuotai, Zhang Yong and others, with about [-] Mongolian cavalry, entered the hinterland of Xixia in such a swagger.

Shazhou, California, and Suzhou closed their city gates tightly, not daring to leave the city at all, and faced off with the [-] Mongolian cavalry led by Tuo Lei and Wo Kuotai respectively.

Now the general in charge of the defense of the three northwest states and counties is General Asha. Dare not, this guy was very arrogant at first.

Even when Genghis Khan led his army to station near Hamili in Xiliao, he sent cavalry troops to harass them.

But sometimes you are very confident, but the reality is cruel. This guy was severely punished by Genghis Khan.

If it weren't for the fact that he wasn't ready for a full-scale war, Genghis Khan would have wanted to rush directly into Shazhou City and kill this guy.

This head-on confrontation with Genghis Khan made Asha dare not know how big the gap between the two sides was.After that, he huddled in Shazhou City and never dared to show his face.

So this time, even though Wokuotai, Zhang Yong and others passed through the three northwest states, Asha did not dare to send troops to fight.

After four days of rapid march, Zhang Yong, Wo Kuotai and others entered the hinterland of Xixia and arrived at Xuanhua Prefecture, which is near Ganzhou City.

At this time, all villages near Xuanhua Mansion were abandoned, and all residents hid in Xuanhua Mansion.

Looking at the towering city wall in front of him, Chahan suddenly had an inexplicable feeling. When he left here, he never thought that one day he would be able to return with an army!
That's right!The guard of this Xuanhua Mansion was Chahan's biological father Quchi Yefa. His father treated him very well back then.

It was just that his first wife couldn't tolerate him, so he was kicked out.

More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the eldest lady probably never dreamed that she would be able to achieve what she is today.

"Chahan! Is this your father's territory?" Wo Kuotai stepped forward and asked.

"Well! Master Wo Kuotai, my father is the city's guard general, in charge of all city defenses in the city." Chahan said.

"Oh! Then can you enter the city and persuade your father to surrender to the Great Khan, so that we can capture Xuanhua Mansion without any bloodshed." Zhang Yong stepped forward and said.

Unexpectedly, Chahan's father was the guard of such an important strategic location. Xuanhua Mansion was an important strategic location connecting the east and west of Xixia.

If we can seize this place and then send heavy troops to garrison it, we can directly cut off the connection between the east and west of Xixia without the need to drag out thunder.

Moreover, the Mongolian army can also get a very suitable supply location and rest place.

This is a great place.

"If we can save the people in the city and I personally write a letter and go to the city to meet my father, then there is still a chance." Chahan's eyes lit up and he said.

He knew his father's character very well. The relationship between father and son was very good, and his father also knew that he was serving in Genghis Khan's army.

The father and son had been exchanging letters. If he entered the city in person, he would still be sure to persuade his father to surrender to Genghis Khan.

The importance of Xuanhua Mansion is self-evident. Once we get here, we can completely cut off the three northwest states.

"But this is the job of dragging Lei, do you still need us to help him do it?" Wo Kuotai said.

His mission is to block the Song army and prevent the Song army from supporting Xixia, while the task of dragging thunder is to cut off the communication between the east and west of Xixia.

"Father-in-law! That's wrong. If you can capture Xuanhua Mansion without a bloodshed, the Great Khan will definitely look upon you with admiration. Leading troops to capture a city and capturing a city without a bloodshed are two completely different concepts. To win without a fight is Subjugating one's troops is the highest state of war.

The reason why the Great Khan sets the rules.This is the principle behind all cities that are to be attacked, and envoys must be sent in first to persuade them to surrender. "Zhang Yong said from the side.

Although Genghis Khan could not read a word and had little knowledge, his control over people's hearts and wars had reached a very high level. He was a natural strategist.

His philosophy is to exchange the greatest benefits with the smallest casualties and the smallest sacrifices. War has always been just a means.

"But the problem is that we only have [-] troops now. If we want to persuade this place to surrender, we need to divide our troops to guard it. And dividing our troops to guard it will not be conducive to us blocking the Song army!" Wo Kuotai said.

After the surrender, troops must be stationed here, because this is equivalent to the hinterland of Xixia. Xixia can send people to capture this city at any time without sending any of its own people to garrison here.

Even if the city surrenders, it will be quickly lost.

Moreover, they were only a vanguard force of 1 people. Their mission was not to capture cities and territories, and they did not bring any engineering equipment.

If we drag mines to capture this place, it is actually the best choice. He leads [-] cavalry to garrison the city, and then sends small groups of cavalry troops every day, which can easily cut off the communication between the east and west of Xixia.

But Tuo Lei doesn't have time to come now, because he is involving the soldiers and horses in the three states of Xixia in the west, creating opportunities for the army on Wokuotai's side to quickly pass through the Hexi Corridor.

Of course, the most important reason was that Wo Kuotai did not want to give up this credit to Tuo Lei and captured Xuanhua Mansion without a single blow.This credit is really too great.

If he had full command of [-] troops, would he still need to say this?I will capture this city immediately.

Then arrange for Chahan to take charge of the city's defense here, and cut off the connection between the east and west of Xixia, and then take Zhang Yong to stop the Song army.

"Father-in-law! In fact, you can think differently. You can write a letter to the Khan and tell him what is going on here.

If you take this city without a fight, Genghis Khan will definitely be impressed by you. When the time comes, you offer to command Tuo Lei's [-] troops and make Tuo Lei obey your orders. It will be easy. When the time comes, in turn, Tuo Lei will Ray will also obey your orders. "Zhang Yong said with a smile.

If the Xuanhua Mansion is captured by force, the gains will indeed outweigh the losses. However, if Chahan can persuade his father to surrender, it will be a huge benefit if he can capture this place without bloodshed.

When the time comes, Wokuotai will be able to ask for the absolute command of the [-] soldiers and horses.

Then he came to direct the action of towing mines. This was equivalent to a different kind of disguised seizure of military power, but the cleverness was much more powerful than the last time in the Delhi Sultanate.

The 1 people you led failed to achieve the designated strategic goals for a long time, but I led more than 1 people and captured Xuanhua Mansion without a single blow.

It is a matter of course to ask you Tuo Lei to obey Ogedai's order, and if Tuo Lei dares to disobey, he will be disobeying Genghis Khan's order.

You and others can just kill them first and then tell them, tie up the drag mine and send them back.

First capture Xuanhua Mansion, then write a letter to Genghis Khan, and then seize Tuo Lei's military power.

When the time comes, drag Lei to resist and tie him back, hehe!
You are the one who is yin.

Hearing Zhang Yong's words, Wo Kuotai was stunned for a few seconds, and then opened his mouth wide. The strategy proposed by his son-in-law was simply brilliant.

I came here this time just to compete with Tuo Lei, but you actually want to take away his military power again.

Hahahaha, I like it.

"Then it's decided, we take Xuanhua Mansion, you immediately disguise yourself and sneak into the city to persuade your father, or you write a letter in person, and I send someone to sneak into the city to find your father, and then ask him to surrender in the city ." Wo Kuotai said.

Having said that, what are you waiting for?The so-called plan cannot keep up with changes. Since the right time, place and people are on my side, wouldn't it be against the destiny of me not to take action?

"Here! Then I'll disguise myself and find a way to enter the city!" Chahan said.

These two guys actually decided on another strategic goal just because of what they said.Shouldn’t we first cut off the food routes of the Southern Song Dynasty?As a result, it turned out to be an attack on Xuanhua Mansion inexplicably.

"Chahan, how sure are you that you can persuade your father this time?" Zhang Yong asked.

The ultimate goal of the battle plan he proposed this time was to seize Tuo Lei's military power.

The key to its successful implementation lies with Chahan. Whether he can convince his father to surrender in Kaicheng is the most critical.

Therefore, this link cannot be missed. Otherwise, there is no need to implement your plan. You must ask clearly.

"Over the years, I have been exchanging letters with my father. The letters sent by my father in the past few years have a vague meaning of surrender to Genghis Khan, but they also told me that some Xixia guards in the city do not want to surrender." Chahan said.

What he said was true. His father was still a very open-minded person.

The son became a high official beside Genghis Khan and was adopted by Genghis Khan as his adopted son. Now Genghis Khan's career is booming.

If you can stand on Genghis Khan's side.Their entire family is much better off than following Xixia.

But there is another problem, that is, some of the guards in Xuanhua Mansion are still loyal to Xixia.Although his father is the supreme ruler.He is the guard general of the entire city, but if some of his generals know that he is going to surrender, they might rebel.

"In other words, your father is willing to surrender and offer the city, but some generals in the city are unwilling, right?" Zhang Yong said.

"Yes! So these Xixia guards are also a troublesome problem. However, if the Great Khan leads the army here, then there should be many guards willing to stand on my father's side, and then we can surrender perfectly." Han said.

Do you want to eat shit?By the time Genghis Khan's army arrived, it would be a month later, and Tuo Lei had already accomplished extraordinary feats.

"What if all these guards are assassinated? If they die, can your father successfully take away their military power?" Zhang Yong asked.

"Assassinate them? I'm afraid this won't be easy. These generals are surrounded by a large number of Xixia soldiers, and where are we going to find people to assassinate them?" Chahan shook his head and said.

"I have an assassination expert under me. We will select a hundred warriors and give them to him, and then let him find a way to sneak into the city with you.

Then you first go to your father and persuade him to surrender. If he agrees, then carry out the following plan. Let your father summon all the generals who do not want to surrender in the name of convening a military meeting, and then my subordinate will lead He had a hundred warriors lying in ambush nearby. When they arrived, he killed them all and immediately opened the city gate. "Zhang Yong said.

At this time, wouldn't a certain Assassin Master come in handy?It shouldn't be difficult for you to sneak into the enemy's city with a hundred people, right?

"I can do it with about 100 people sneaking into the city. It shouldn't be a big problem with about 100 people." Chahan said.

"It's better to take this subordinate of mine with you! He is a great mentor from the Assassin Kingdom, and he is very good at assassination." Zhang Yong said.

Master Bamuyi, I have raised you for so long, now it is time for you to play your role, don't do nothing all day long, just waiting to die.

"That's it? I will immediately select a hundred warriors, disguise as herdsmen, and then enter the city in batches. After that, you will enter the city to meet them, and then go to see your father." Wo Kuotai said.

"Okay! My father also has many soldiers who are loyal to him. We can use more than a hundred people in the city. You two adults, please wait for my news outside the city. We will agree on a time. In three days, I will Will open the city gate," Chahan said.

After entering the city, he would go to his father immediately, and then start arranging the assassination of those generals.If everything goes well, the city gate can be opened in three days. If the city gate cannot be opened after three days, it will prove that they have failed, and Zhang Yong, Wo Kuotai and others will not have to wait.

There is no way, after entering the city, they cannot contact each other, and they can only communicate through this method agreed in advance.

"No, no, no, we can contact each other, you forgot my flying artifact, at night.

My flying artifact can fly into the city. When the time comes, I will give you a landing pad. You can place it in the center of a courtyard, and my flying artifact can lean over it. Then we can use the flying artifact to send messages to each other. "Zhang Yong said.

There is no need to agree on a time!Can we contact you at any time?Do you think my drone is just a decoration?

At night, fly a few hundred meters and then enter the city. With your helipad there, the drone can automatically locate it, which is easy for the drone.

"Yes, Zhang Yong's flying artifact can definitely help us communicate." Wo Kuotai nodded and said.

If you want to communicate secretly in the city, drones have become a key prop. This time, the right time, place and people are all on your side!
After everyone discussed some detailed issues, Wo Kuotai began to select a hundred warriors to follow Chahan into the city.

Chahan went to prepare some matters and teach the soldiers how to disguise themselves and speak some simple Xixia language.

Zhang Yong was called over by Bamui.

"Master! What do you want from your servant?" Bamui asked cautiously.

"Bamui! You have been following me for more than a year. You are considered one of my own. Now I have a very important and arduous task to give you." Zhang Yong said.

"Master, you said, as long as I can do it, I will risk my life to complete it." Bamui immediately put on an extremely loyal look and looked down upon death.

"Well! I want you to sneak into Xuanhua Mansion with a hundred warriors, then follow General Chahan to meet his father, and then assassinate all the officers at the banquet." Zhang Yong said.

"Uh! Master, you mean to let me carry out the assassination, right?" Bamui frowned and asked.

"That's right, this is also a demonstration of your professional work, which will allow us to capture this city without any bloodshed. When the time comes, I can help you claim the credit, and the Great Khan will reward you well." Zhang Yong said.

"Ahem! Master, I should have completed your order without hesitation, but this matter is a little difficult. If I sneak into the city alone to assassinate a single or several targets, there will be no problem.

But it is still a lot to take 100 people to assassinate senior officers, which is a bit difficult. "Bamui said.

Please, if he is given a dozen assassins specially trained by Assassin to lead the team himself, he might be able to complete this task.

He is the only real assassin!How can we do this with a hundred Mongolians?
"So you don't want to go?" Zhang Yong said with a cold expression on his face.

"I definitely don't mean not to go. There are only 100 people, which is a bit too many to infiltrate. Moreover, you don't have specific target officers, their names, and addresses." Bamui said in embarrassment.

Please, sir!What do you think I am?The white-robed assassin you're talking about?
Taking the head of an admiral from the army and sneaking into the city is as simple as drinking water and eating. That is not our Assassin style!Where did you hear the rumor?
We are indeed good at climbing, but I have old arms and legs, but I am not as strong as the young assassins in climbing, and they are not as skilled as you said!
"Don't worry, you don't need to assassinate them one by one. These generals will be gathered together. When the time comes, you can rush up with these one hundred warriors, knock them all down, and then find a way to open the city gate." Zhang Yong said.

It seems that my ancient special forces plan will also be put on the agenda. Some of the training methods in the militia training manual, combined with the assassin's training methods, will train a group of special forces.

In the future, letting them go behind enemy lines to cause damage, such as opening city gates and assassinating important generals, would be very powerful.

"Uh! There's no problem with this. Master, I'll take over this task." Bamui nodded and said.

There was no other way. If I kept being naughty and refused to go, I might lose my grandfather's trust and become just like an ordinary slave from then on.

I also expect to live a life of fine clothing and fine food with my grandpa for the rest of my life!

After hearing Bamui's words, Zhang Yong nodded with satisfaction.

That night, Chahan quietly sneaked into the city with a hundred carefully selected warriors and Zhang Yong's henchman Bamuyi.

After all, Chahan was also a local leader. Although the city gate was closed at this time, there were still some nooks and crannies where one could enter the city.
