From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 997

Starting on February 28th, they headed north to the Donghai Jurchen tribe. It took a total of 40 days to go back and forth, and they didn't return to the Yehe tribe until the night of April 7th.

They left suddenly and took a long time, so Xingyao was very angry.

"They didn't take me with them on this special operation. I'm bored here. Those white pigs have been gathering troops. I don't know how many people Guhewei has installed. We can't fight or retreat. What should we do now!"

The milk was placed heavily on the table, making a loud noise, expressing her dissatisfaction.

Zhou Yuan took a sip and found that it was hot, and then he realized that Xingyao was hard-mouthed and soft-hearted.

So he pulled Xingyao over and said with a smile: "What special action? It's obvious that we went to see the situation of the Jurchen tribe in the East Sea. We didn't know we had to run so far beforehand."

"But... we got something. We saw a lot of truth."

Xingyao tilted her head and said, "What did you get?"

Zhou Yuan said, "The gain is that you don't have to feel wronged anymore. We can take action in a few days at most."

Xingyao's eyes lit up immediately, and she hugged Zhou Yuan's neck, pressed her nose against his nose, and said with a sweet breath: "Really? You didn't lie to me?"

Zhou Yuan pressed her down on the blanket, pinched her neck with his right hand, and smiled: "Of course it's true, little wolf, before you kill happily, let's fight happily first!"

Xingyao raised her eyebrows, pushed his hand away, and wrapped her long legs around Zhou Yuan's neck with a scissor kick, and knocked him down directly.

She snorted and laughed, "With your skills, are you qualified to strangle me? I'll strangle you more than you can!"

Looking at her hair, Zhou Yuan became interested.

The yurt gradually became quiet, and the little female wolf turned into a little lamb, leaning obediently on Zhou Yuan's arms and whispering

Zhou Yuan asked curiously, "Do you really like it?"

Xingyao blinked and said, "Of course I like it. The braver you are, the more I like it."

Zhou Yuan said, "But you obviously couldn't hold on in the end."

Xingyao smiled sweetly and said, "That's good. We grassland girls like this. As long as you are brave enough, I'm willing to die in your arms."

It's really wild!

Unlike Qu Ling, that girl, who has a lot of tricks, and soon she will die and can't come, which makes people a little disappointed.

Zhou Yuan patted her hump and said solemnly: "I will leave after this battle. You are not allowed to take risks. Wait for me to come back."

Xingyao looked at Zhou Yuan and couldn't help but touch his chest, saying: "I really don't want you to leave, but... for the future, Xingyao listens to you."

...

After a night's rest, she was much more energetic the next day.

Huang Taiji spread the map on the table and said in a deep voice: "The last negotiation achieved very good results. The opponent's strategy is indeed much more radical."

"During these forty days, Gumanyev transferred all the expedition teams around and gathered around Guhewei."

"We don't know the exact number, but my spies observed very carefully. A total of thirteen expedition teams came, all with criminal soldiers."

"According to this speculation, the total number of shooting troops in Guhewei should have reached 3,000, and the scale of criminal soldiers would not be less than 20,000."

"It's time to close the net."

Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice: "Have your people reached Yehe?"

Huang Taiji said: "Of course not, they are still in Jianzhou and Shenzhou. The other side knows us very well, which means that we have spies among us. As long as the soldiers of Shenzhou and Jianzhou move, they will definitely alert the enemy."

"I plan to use the 15,000 elite cavalry of Yehe to catch Gumanyev off guard."

Zhou Yuan frowned and said: "In the case of relatively weak individual combat capabilities, it will be difficult to fight with a small number against a large number."

Huang Taiji "So we need to deduce it, you cooperate with me."

Zhou Yuan said: "Okay, I am Gumanyev."

He pointed to the map, pondered for a moment, and then said: "I will send out fifty shooting troops, each with ten prisoners. Eleven people form a group, a total of fifty groups, to set up defensive sentries in the secret area that only Guhewei and Yehe tribe can see."

"As long as you move, I can get the news immediately and make defenses."

Huang Taiji said: "I will act at night and send elite forces to these fifty sentries. The team will clean up and attack quietly in the dark and windy night."

Zhou Yuan said: "Fifty secret sentry teams are deployed, and each team is not far apart. You can't clean up secretly at all. The gunshots will wake up everything."

Huang Taiji said: "Then ignore the secret sentry team and just run over with cavalry. We are fast and the enemy's defense cannot be too deep or too far."

"I guess their secret sentry team can only be deployed fifty miles at most, and fifty miles can be reached in less than half an hour for our cavalry."

"Their secret sentry needs to be in theIt is almost impossible to pass the message and let Gumanyev prepare for defense within half an hour. "

"After all, they are not well prepared against us. They must take off their armor and sleep at night. When they receive our message, they have no chance. "

Zhou Yuan said: "I will put the offending soldiers in front and allow certain casualties to buy time for the shooting army to put on armor and guns. "

"When you are cleaning up the offending soldiers, I have completed the preparations of the shooting army. At that time, I will use the musket to suppress you. "

"In this way, even if you are a cavalry sneak attack, it will be difficult to fight. "

"The result of this battle must be not optimistic. "

He looked at Huang Taiji and said: "Directly running over by cavalry is too clumsy. It is impossible to kill the opponent in one breath. Then the opponent will be able to organize a counterattack. We have to change another way. "

"Since we are unexpected, we must wipe out the enemy at the lowest cost. If the cost is too high, it will not be considered a victory. "

"Besides, since we have to fight, we must win. We have to take down Gumanyev."

Huang Taiji fell into deep thought.

He frowned, looked at the map carefully, and then looked at Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan did not speak. He wanted Huang Taiji to fight this battle.

Huang Taiji understood what he meant. He sighed and said, "Since we want to take down Gumanyev, there is no such thing as steady and cautious. We must take it down in one go, because we simply do not have the extra troops to outflank and intercept his escape route."

"In the case of secret sentries, we must be fast, so fast that the other party cannot react. Even if they react, it is too late."

"At the same time, we must avoid large casualties..."

He smiled and said, "It's a bit difficult."

Zhou Yuan said, "How long will it take to think about it?"

Huang Taiji said, "Tomorrow at the latest, I will take out the plan and start implementing it. "

Here, he paused slightly and said: "No, tonight, I will come up with a plan tonight."

Zhou Yuan laughed.

But Huang Taiji shook his head again and said: "No! At this moment! Now I have an idea."

Zhou Yuan said: "Xingyao will help you."

Huang Taiji's pupils shrank slightly, and he said: "So you have also thought of it, let's act tonight."

Zhou Yuan nodded slowly.

The two looked at each other and saw the confidence in each other's eyes.
