Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 199 The Way to Raise the Enemy

Back in the camp, Li Ke gathered Gu Wu and the others together again and explained the situation in Gu Zhong.

"So, if you get too close to the mountain, you will be ambushed. How about we stay away?"

Ma Liuzhi put forward his own ideas.

Gu Wu already shook his head: "Although the valley is open, it becomes narrower as you go in, and the main roads that can be used for pedestrians are all controlled by the Khan tribe. It is impossible for us to avoid them..."

Ma Liuzhi said again: "Then... let's charge over there, the other side can't block the entire valley tightly, the army will definitely be able to charge over!"

Li Ke shook his head, denying the proposal: "Since the Wohan Ministry has made it clear that we are against us, so what if we rush through here?"

"Crossing through the valley is Medog City, and there are still [-] soldiers in the city. If we don't deal with the Khan tribe and rush over, we may be attacked by the Khan tribe and Medog City from both sides, which will cause even more trouble!"

The proposal was repeatedly rejected, and Ma Liuzhi spread his hands again: "Then just go in and fight them!"

Gu Wu smiled wryly and shook his head.

Li Ke naturally knew that he couldn't do it recklessly, and if he really went in, he was already in an invincible position relying on the advantage of the location.

His own soldiers are all wearing thick armor, and in terms of flexibility, they are far inferior to the Wohan tribe who have been walking through the mountains all year round.As long as the opponent wants to escape, he will definitely not be able to catch up.

Today is when the cavalry enters, and the other side has nothing to do, otherwise, no matter what, some people will be lost.

Li Ke lost his plan today, and he was already upset, and now he was dizzy and couldn't think of an idea at all.

He simply leaned back on the couch in the tent, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

"Your Highness..."

At this time, Gu Wu's voice came, Li Ke opened his eyes, and they still didn't leave.

Gu Wu stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I have an idea..."

Li Ke waved his hand, motioning for him to continue.

Gu Wu pondered for a moment, and said: "Although it is impossible to lure the enemy, we can try to provoke them."

"The tribe of Khans are all savages with violent tempers. If we fight in front of the valley, we might be able to anger those people..."

He was applying the tactics that Li Ke used in Dajian Furnace. At that time, Li Ke also wanted to force the opponent out of the city by cursing.But that tactic was finally seen through by Meiji.

Li Ke thought for a while, and said: "Your method...I'm afraid it won't work...I'll stay at the end today, deliberately stopping my horse and waiting for those chasing soldiers, and those people won't come out..."

He recalled the man on horseback. It was he who gave the order today and prevented the tribesmen from chasing him out.

I think that person should be an important person in the clan, maybe he is a son of Dahantai, the leader of the Wohan tribe.

It seems that the man still has some brains, he should have seen through his trick to lure soldiers.

If he went to call for battle now, he should be able to guess that his side was deliberately provoking other people to come out.

Seeing that his idea was rejected again, Gu Wu was also discouraged, so he simply sat down and continued to think of ideas.

But Li Ke was reminded by his proposal just now, and he thought of a way out.

He sat up and said to Gu Wu and Ma Liuzhi: "I have come up with a method, which is similar to Gu Wu's move, but the method is more ruthless..."

"What way?"

Ma Liuzhi and Gu Wu both looked this way.

Li Ke sneered: "Gu Wu just said that the other party is a barbarian, which is true. But today I see that there is a shrewd person among the tribe. If we fight, the other party should be able to see through it. The current plan , I can only think of a way that even if the opponent sees through it, he can provoke it..."

"What?"

Ma Liuzhi opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a moment.

He snapped his fingers again and muttered for a long time: "Even if you see it through, you will be provoked..."

"How is that possible! The other party saw our scheme, how could it come out again?"

After calculating for a long time, he finally figured out what Li Ke said, and at this moment he stared curiously again.

Li Ke pondered for a moment, cleared his thoughts, and then asked Gu Wu: "Do you remember that the leader of this tribe of Khans is Dahantai, who is in his fifties and has a violent temper..."

Gu Wu nodded: "Yes, he also has two sons, the eldest son Mo Tuo, who is also violent and ready to kill. The second son is called Ji Ye, he is more shrewd and wise..."

Li Ke nodded: "I guess... the man on the horse I saw today should be the second son Ji Ye."

"But...how does this relate to the plan His Highness mentioned?"

Gu Wu was puzzled.

Li Ke went on to analyze: "My idea is to go deep into the valley and find a way to assassinate or kidnap the family of the leader of the other clan. In this way, whether it is forcing the other party to surrender, or stimulating them to come out to seek revenge, there is a way to solve this nest. Khan Department."

"That's a good idea!"

Ma Liuzhi jumped up: "That's right! If we kill that leader, his tribe will definitely be annoyed, and they must come out and fight us desperately..."

Gu Wu bowed his head and pondered for a moment: "Abducting, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to succeed. The other party's tribe lives in a concentrated life, so it is extremely difficult to sneak in, and kidnapping is even more impossible. If it is assassination, I can try..."

Li Ke had already stood up: "I'll go for this matter, I'm better at it, and I'm more confident!"

"no!"

The two objected in unison.

Li Ke waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'm sure! I'll go in alone, with nothing to worry about, and they will never hurt me!"

Ignoring the objections of the two of them, Li Ke has made up his mind.

After resting in the tent during the day, when it got dark, Li Ke had already changed into dark clothes and rode his horse towards the valley.

This time he acted in secret. He only brought a crossbow and a short sword to keep them light.

When he arrived at the valley, Li Ke left his horse outside and gently touched it along the foot of the mountain.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, so he was naturally very secretive with his attire.

After walking for a while, he found someone standing guard with torches ahead.

Li Ke didn't want to startle the snake, so he went a little further.

After bypassing several guard posts along the way, he went up the mountain again, using the dense forest on the mountain to hide his tracks, and walked deeper.

The further you go, the more guard posts in the valley, and gradually you can see a lot of houses.

Most of these houses are built of rammed earth, very simple, and it doesn't look like the residence of the chief.

Li Ke continued to move forward, touching the core area.

The further you go in, the more houses there are, and from time to time you can see people sitting together, warming themselves by the fire.

Li Ke bypassed these people, and finally reached another slightly larger house under the cover of trees.

This house looks taller than ordinary houses, and is guarded by several conical houses next to it. It seems that important people in the tribe live in it.

Outside the house, there were still several piles of bonfires, and a group of people were having a barbecue and drinking together around the bonfires.

Li Ke touched the side of the house and used the house to cover his figure.

At this time, he could already see the situation ahead.
