One thousand and fifty-nine Mao Wenlong's decision
After Mao Wenlong took two thousand elite cavalry to deal with the Jianzhou tribes, although he held the escape routes of the other Jianzhou tribes, he did not pursue them immediately.
He stared at those routes for a long time, as if he had seen something.
"The group of people we killed just now seemed to be mostly young men, women and boys, and they didn't seem to see the old and weak?"
Mao Wenlong consulted with his subordinates.
Everyone looked at each other, and some people ran back to see the bodies and the group of prisoners who were confined. Then they gave Mao Wenlong a very affirmative answer: "Indeed, no old or weak were found, most of them were women, then boys, and least they were young and strong men."
"For such tribes, they are usually rich, handsome, and old, and the precious are young, strong, and young, and old are burdensome. If the teams are migrating, they should be mixed with old, weak, young, and strong. Why are they all young, strong, and there are no elderly, and there are no elderly, and there are no elderly, and there are no elderly, and there are no elderly, and there are no elderly, and there are no elderly, and there are no elderly, and there are no elderly, and there are no elderly, or weak in Jianzhou?"
After Mao Wenlong raised such doubts, his subordinates also reacted and felt that what Mao Wenlong said made sense.
"Nuerhaci knows that his strength is not as good as us. If he wants to survive, it is certain to escape. How to escape requires a rule. The young and strong are fast, and the old and weak are not only slow, but also useless. They are the most likely to be abandoned by these tribes. They are all young and strong, and there are no old and weak. Could it be that they migrated separately from the young and weak?"
Mao Wenlong made such an analysis again, which made his subordinates stunned and could not catch up with his thinking at all.
But Mao Wenlong is still continuing to analyze.
"If you want to preserve the tribe, you must first preserve the young and strong men who can work and the young and strong women who can give birth, and then the boys. The old and the weak are first abandoned. Most of the young and strong men in Jianzhou went to war, and a small number of them are here. The young and strong women are the first to preserve the fertility population.
This group of people was taken to Changbai Mountain, and the black water man said that the other group was heading east, not going to Changbai Mountain. Could it be that it was the young and strong who went to Changbai Mountain, while the old, weak, sick and disabled people went to the east? What did the young and strong who wanted to go to Changbai Mountain?
The ancients said that if you eat the mountain in vain, although the mountain is tall and large, there is not much food to eat, let alone hundreds of thousands of people, a mountain cannot be raised, and if the young and strong run towards Changbai Mountain, isn’t that going to die? What are their intentions?”
Mao Wenlong's thoughts flew farther and farther away, making his subordinates look at each other. No one could keep up with Mao Wenlong's ideas. Someone reminded him: "General, the Jurchens have tribes living in Changbai Mountain. Are they here to surrender to these tribes?"
"Hundreds of thousands of people surrender to a few small tribes? That's what you have to eat. Do you think they can farm like North Korea and can support so many people? The main thing is to plunder. If you really know how to farm and can support yourself..."
Mao Wenlong suddenly stopped talking.
"General?"
Several subordinates were stunned when they looked at Mao Wenlong, a little strange.
"You said..."
Mao Wenlong suddenly looked at them: "Does these barbarians want to cross the river to go to North Korea to plunder and take refuge?"
My subordinates, look at me, look at you, and there are incredible expressions on my face.
"How could they go to North Korea? North Korea is still a country at least. Not to mention more soldiers, at least one hundred thousand, and Jianzhou's soldiers are only 30,000. How can they compete with North Korea?"
A subordinate made such an opinion.
"Seven years ago, North Korea was beaten like that, and its army was almost wiped out. It took only ten years to recover its vitality? Besides, North Korea was not a strong country, with weak military strength and Jianzhou's military and horses. If it really matched, do you think it would be the North Koreans who can win or the Jianzhou who can win?"
My subordinates, look at me, and I see, no one dares to speak loudly, and no one knows whether North Korea can win.
"If they really go to North Korea, then things will be difficult to handle. We have to discuss with North Korea to go to North Korea to conquer Jianzhou. They will definitely flee south and chase south. I don't know what it will be like along the way."
Mao Wenlong narrowed his eyes and seemed to sigh.
After a while, Mao Wenlong calmed down, thought for a while, and said, "Let's go directly to North Korea!"
"ah?"
The cavalry under his subordinates looked at Mao Wenlong in extreme surprise.
"Don't understand? I said let's go directly to North Korea! I guess that at this time, some of the people from Jianzhou should have crossed the river to North Korea. It should be the right time for us to go now. I guess the King of North Korea will come to ask for help again soon."
Mao Wenlong's face was full of jokes.
"This... Although North Korea is my vassal state of Qin, we need court documents when we cross the river to North Korea, right? Besides, why would the Jianzhou people go to North Korea? Aren't they still fighting with our main force in the Jianzhou Wei side?"
"We know that we will send a partial army to attack them, but they don't know that we will send a partial army to North Korea to fight a outpost battle? I guess Nurhaci should have thought of going to North Korea to take refuge, so we asked the tribes near Changbai Mountain to go to North Korea first to prepare. As for the court documents, well, we will be in a hurry to follow the power and will be outside. The king's orders will not be accepted! Let's set out first, not to Changbai Mountain, go to Kuandian Fort!"
“Kuandian Castle?!”
The subordinates really couldn't keep up with Mao Wenlong's brain circuit.
"Stupid! Since we know they will go to North Korea, why are we going to Changbai Mountain? Of course we are going to Kuandian Fort! We are preparing ships from there to cross the river and enter North Korea! Otherwise, how can we go there? Do we swim?"
Mao Wenlong cursed angrily.
"But……"
"But what? This is an order! I will send someone to Hetuala to report to the Mahjong, saying that I will go to Kuandianbao first to prepare the ship, and go to North Korea first, and ask him to hurry up, otherwise the King of Korea will come to ask for help again, and just send a partial army to Changbai Mountain to clean up the remaining troops. The main force should come to Kuandianbao to cross the river to North Korea!"
As Mao Wenlong said, he sorted out himself, turned over and prepared to set off.
"General, this is too sudden, right?"
None of the subordinates responded.
"This is called "Soldiers are very fast! Get on your horse and get ready to set off!"
Mao Wenlong did not give much explanation and directly ordered the entire army to prepare for departure.
At this moment, going to Changbai Mountain to continue chasing the remaining troops is of course useful. Maybe it can destroy their ships crossing the river and leave all the Jianzhou troops on the north bank of the Yalu River. The battle is successful, but the possibility is not too great. And if it is successful, the battle will be gone, and Mao Wenlong's contribution is limited to this.
However, if the Jianzhou people cross the river to North Korea and cause turmoil in North Korea, the impact will be even greater. At that time, Mao Wenlong will have greater contributions. He can show his face in front of the North Koreans and use the Koreans' mouths to ask for me, so that he can maximize his military achievements.
There is no need to be such a little kiss.
There is always something to use for your own talent.
He made up his mind to exchange North Korea's unrest for his contributions.
As for how many people will die in North Korea...
How many people died in North Korea have to do with me, Mao Wenlong?
He didn't care at all.
So Mao Wenlong set out for Kuandian Fortress with two thousand cavalry, and before that, he ordered all the living prisoners to be killed without leaving any one.
After leaving behind a corpse, Mao Wenlong burned them with fire and then led his troops away.
At this time, it was September 18th in the first year of Longwu.
