Chapter 99 Fox
On the battlefield, Zabal Huo Zhe always rode a tall camel and followed Genghis Khan.Many times, when people looked up and saw his figure in armor, they knew the approximate location of Genghis Khan.

He noticed Genghis Khan's sight, so he also looked towards the east high slope for a while.

Turning around, he smiled and said, "Khan, that should be the front sentry cavalry of the Golden Army. Our Ale Jinchi found the position of the main force of the Golden Army just because he discovered them."

Genghis Khan did not answer.

It took Genghis Khan 30 years to go from the Bulji land in the upper reaches of the Kherlen River to the overwhelming grassland.

In the past 30 years, he fought against the Taichiwu tribe, the Mierqiti tribe, the Qiyan tribe, his Anda, and Jamu, who is known as the Khan of the Khans, and his adoptive father, Kret. Wang Han of the Ministry of War.In the past 30 years, he destroyed hundreds of tribes, killed tens of thousands of enemies, and killed the enemies himself. He was recognized as the most brave and fearless among countless Mongolian warriors.

But under the resolute and decisive appearance, he is also a very cautious person.He always consults his companions constantly, and observes everything around him with a falcon-like gaze.

When he made any decision, he was full of doubts deep in his heart, and he had to put everything under control before he could rest assured.

After a while, Genghis Khan said slowly: "The goats on guard have spotted the wolves, but the sheep didn't move, and still ran towards the wolves? Don't you think this is strange?"

"This……"

Genghis Khan continued to ponder.

It was the first time for him to go deep into the hinterland of the Kingdom of Jin. Although the surrounding geographical situation had been confirmed over and over again by the descendants, he was not as familiar with the Mongolian grasslands after all, so it was inevitable to think things slowly.

In the military discussion on the southward march of the army, everyone agreed that the Tangbo area in the north of Hebei was sparsely populated and barren. It was not the goal of the Mongolian army, but a passage for them to go deep into Hebei and the Central Plains.

After the army crossed Yanshan Mountain and arrived in Suizhou, the next target was Hejianfu, an important military and water transportation center of the Kingdom of Jin, and the grain and supplies hoarded in the storage warehouses around Hejianfu.

The official road from Suizhou to Hejianfu is divided into east and west.All the way along the east bank of Bianwudian, from Ansuzhou to Gecheng, Gaoyang, and finally to Hejianfu.The straight-line distance of this road is short, but the terrain is low-lying and full of water. The road is surrounded by two big waters, Bianwu Lake and Wuguan Lake, and sentry cavalry must be repeatedly explored along the way.

The other route is along the west bank of Bianwudian, from Jintai Station in Baozhou to Boye, then crosses the Tang River, passes through Suning County and turns into Hejianfu; this route is longer, but the terrain is flat and easy for large cavalry .

Between the two roads, there are more than [-] miles in width and [-] miles in length of the vast Bian Wudian and a large number of swamps and wetlands.

People from the Kingdom of Jin, such as Shi Mo Ming'an, had suggested before that the army would go south and it would be beneficial to make a quick decision, so naturally it would be better to go the east route.

As long as you break through the small towns and forts along the way to replenish your resources, you can capture Hejian within three days; then use Hejian, which is abundant in supplies, as your base, sweep across the most fertile core area of ​​Jin Kingdom, and cut off the water transportation in the central capital; The capital of the Kingdom of Jin.

But after Genghis Khan arrived in Suizhou, he heard that in the direction of Baozhou to the west of Wuguan Lake, a large group of cavalry from the Kingdom of Jin appeared and rushed northward.

In his eyes, seeking to defeat the enemy in field battles is an eternal principle, so he immediately ordered the army to turn south from the west road and destroy the enemy first.

Sure enough, he ran into the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin at this time, and he was about to win a hearty victory, but... Genghis Khan always felt that something was wrong.

Originally, it was thought that the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin came in a hurry to block the Yutangbo area before the Mongolian army went deep.But now...

Genghis Khan closed his eyes slightly, and once again listened to the fighting on the battlefield.

He couldn't understand what the Jurchens were saying, but losers all over the world uttered the same cry of panic when they were on the verge of failure.Listening to these ridiculous wailing sounds, it is clear that they are not ready for a big battle at all.

Are gold people so stupid?Did they come to die on purpose?

Or, is it possible that these Jurchen cavalry are not coming for us, but for...

Just thinking of this, Genghis Khan suddenly heard Tuo Lei muttering in a low voice.

Without raising his eyes, he asked casually, "Tuo Lei, what are you talking about?"

Tuo Lei was a little distracted, and after being reminded by his companions, he hurried out of the line and bowed to Genghis Khan:

"Uncle Belgutei told me just now that the outpost scouts of the Jin people are very good at fighting. I also noticed that the scouts of the Jin people all went to the high slope in the east. Father Khan, maybe the Jin people are behind the slope. There is a lurking elite. Moreover, they are not the same as those fools in front. We must beware!"

Tuo Lei's words awakened Genghis Khan.

Genghis Khan opened his eyes suddenly, and there was burning anger in his eyes.

That's right!Really not all the way!
No wonder I always feel that something is wrong today.

It turns out that in today's march and combat, the initiative is not in our hands, but the result of being deliberately induced by outsiders.

The army that disappeared behind the high slope marched with great fanfare before, and sent many scouts to strangle us repeatedly.At that time, all the generals thought that this golden army was reckless and reckless.

But now, Genghis Khan understands that they have nothing to do with the Jin army fighting fiercely ahead, and they are even enemies!
They are not goats on the fringes of the flock, but cunning foxes!
They used some method to mobilize the Jurchen cavalry, and then used the Jurchen cavalry behind them as bait to mobilize the Mongolian warriors!They used me, Genghis Khan, as a tool, as a murderous knife in their hands!

Genghis Khan's blood surged with anger for a while, and his face became flushed.While angry, he also found it funny.

Very good, very good.

The hunters on the prairie, of course, are most interested in fat gazelle and elk.But wouldn't it be a pleasure to meet one or two cunning foxes during the happy hunting?
The meat of the fox is not tasty, but the fur is very useful.

An excellent hunter will slowly circle the foxes, design traps, catch the foxes, and make hats from their colorful fur!
Genghis Khan looked around.

Since he became the Khan of the Great Mongol Kingdom, his subordinates have respected him more and more.When he frowned, the people around him would fall to their knees, and when he gritted his teeth, the warriors would be ready to pounce on the enemy at any time, as if they had drawn out their knives.

That's it.The battle ahead was too smooth, and the warriors couldn't be motivated at all. Most of them were paying attention to Genghis Khan's expression.

Seeing Genghis Khan suddenly showing displeasure, many people gathered around and stared at him with piercing eyes.

"After defeating the Jin army in front, we will rush south and reach the Tang River before dark, so that our horses can drink water and rest to their heart's content. In addition..."

Genghis Khan pointed to Tuolei:
"Behind the high slope in the east, there must be elite Jurchens. But I don't know. Are they sheep? Foxes? Or wolves? Tuo Lei, go there once and see their details for me!  … ...Give you three days, and we will meet up in Hejian Mansion!"

Genghis Khan loved this son very much.Earlier, he promised Tuo Lei that if he made meritorious service in the process of capturing Dexing Mansion and Xuande Prefecture, he would continue to be the vanguard of the whole army.But after crossing Yanshan Mountain, Genghis Khan still kept Tuo Lei by his side.

Tuo Lei has long been impatient.Hearing the military order at this time, he proudly drew his knife in his hand and said loudly: "The enemy is a sheep, and I will cut off the sheep's head and return. The enemy is a fox, and I will peel off the fox's skin and return. If the enemy is a wolf, Father Khan, please Allow me to pull out the wolf's teeth and make a collar for my eldest son Meng Ge!"

"Then go!"
