Chapter 1054 Mao Wenlong's decision
After Mao Wenlong took two thousand cavalry to deal with the Jianzhou tribe, although he had the escape routes of the other Jianzhou tribes, he did not pursue immediately.

He stared at those routes for a long time, as if he saw something.

"The group of people we killed just now, it seems that most of them are young men, women and boys, and it seems that they didn't see the old and the weak?"

Mao Wenlong consulted his subordinates.

Everyone looked at each other, and some people ran back to look at the corpses and a group of captives, and then gave Mao Wenlong a very positive answer: "Indeed, no old or weak were found, most of them were women, and then boys, The least are young and strong men."

"For this kind of tribe, the rich and the strong are generally inferior to the old. The gold and gold are all young and strong men and women, and the old are all burdens. If you want to say that the team migrates, it should be a mixture of old, weak and young. What about the weak? Doesn’t it mean that there are no old and weak in Jianzhou?”

After Mao Wenlong raised such doubts, his subordinates also reacted one after another, thinking that what Mao Wenlong said was reasonable.

"Nu'erhachi knows that the strength is not as good as ours. If you want to survive, you must escape. How to escape requires a method. The young and the strong are fast, and the old and weak are not only slow, but also useless. They are the most likely to be killed. Those tribes who were abandoned along the way were all young and strong, and there were no old or weak, so could it be said that they migrated separately from the young and the old and the weak?"

When Mao Wenlong said such an analysis again, his subordinates were taken aback for a while, and they couldn't catch up with his thinking at all.

But Mao Wenlong continued to analyze.

"If you want to preserve the tribe, you must first preserve the able-bodied young men and fertile young women, and then the young children. The old and the weak are the first to be abandoned. Most of the young and strong men in Jianzhou went to war. , a small part is here, and the young and strong women are the first childbearing population to be preserved.

This group of people was taken to Changbai Mountain, and the person from Heishui said that another group of people went to the east, which didn't seem to be the direction of Changbai Mountain. Could it be that the young and old went to Changbai Mountain, while the old, weak, sick and disabled went to the east?What did Qing Zhuang want to do when he went to Changbai Mountain?
The ancients said that sitting and eating the mountains are empty. Although the mountains are high and big, there are not many things to eat, not to mention tens of thousands of people, a mountain cannot support them.What are their plans? "

Mao Wenlong's thoughts flew farther and farther away, making his subordinates look at each other in blank dismay. No one could keep up with Mao Wenlong's thoughts, but someone reminded him: "General, the Jurchens have tribes living in Changbai Mountain. Are they here to join these tribes?"

"Thousands of 10 people have taken refuge in a few small tribes? That will be empty. Do you think they can farm and feed so many people like North Korea? The main thing is plundering. If they really know how to farm and can support themselves... "

Mao Wenlong suddenly stopped talking.

"General?"

Several subordinates looked at Mao Wenlong in a daze, a little strange.

"You said..."

Mao Wenlong suddenly looked at them: "These barbarians don't think they want to cross the river to go to North Korea to plunder and seek refuge?"

The subordinates look at me and I look at you, with incredible expressions on their faces.

"How could they go to North Korea? North Korea is a country after all. It has at least [-] soldiers, and Jianzhou has only [-] soldiers. How can it compete with North Korea?"

A subordinate made such an opinion.

"North Korea was beaten like that seven years ago. The army was almost wiped out. It didn't take more than ten years to recover? Besides, North Korea was not a strong country at first. Can people win or Jianzhou people can win?"

My subordinates, look at me and look at you. No one dares to speak big words, and no one knows whether North Korea can win or not.

"If it is true that they have gone to North Korea, then things will be difficult to handle. We have to discuss with North Korea to conquer Jianzhou in North Korea. They must have fled all the way to the south. We will chase all the way south. Know what it's going to look like."

Mao Wenlong narrowed his eyes, as if sighing.

After a while, Mao Wenlong calmed down, thought for a while, and said, "Let's go directly to North Korea!"

"what?"

The subordinate cavalry looked at Mao Wenlong in astonishment.

"Don't understand? I said let's go directly to North Korea! I guess some of the Jianzhou people should have crossed the river to North Korea at this time. It should be the right time for us to go now. I guess the king of North Korea will come to ask for help soon. .”

Mao Wenlong's face was full of jokes.

"This... Although North Korea is a vassal state of our Great Qin Dynasty, we need court documents to cross the river to go to North Korea, right? Besides, why do Jianzhou people go to North Korea? Aren't they still talking with Jianzhou Wei? Is our main force fighting?"

"We know to send a partial division to attack them, but they don't know to send a partial division to North Korea to fight an outpost? I guess Nuerhachi should have thought about going to North Korea for asylum, so let the tribes near Changbai Mountain first One step to go to North Korea to make preparations, as for the imperial documents, well, the matter is urgent, the general will be out, and the king's order will not be accepted! Let's start first, instead of going to Changbai Mountain, go to Kuandian Fort!"

"Kandian Fort?!"

The subordinates really couldn't keep up with Mao Wenlong's brain circuit.

"Stupid! Since they knew they were going to North Korea, why did they go to Changbai Mountain? Of course they went to Kuandian Fort! From there, prepare a boat to cross the river and enter North Korea! How else would we go there? Swim over?"

Mao Wenlong cursed angrily.

"But……"

"But what? This is an order! Immediately send someone to Hetuala to report to General Ma, saying that I will go to Fort Kuandian to prepare ships first, and go to North Korea first. Please hurry up, or the king of North Korea will come to ask for help again." Just send a partial division to the Changbai Mountain area to clean up the remaining troops, and the main force should come to Kuandian Fort to cross the river to North Korea!"

Mao Wenlong tidied himself up as he spoke, got on his horse and prepared to set off.

"General, isn't this too sudden?"

None of the subordinates responded.

"This is called the speed of soldiers! All mounted, ready to go!"

Mao Wenlong didn't explain much, and directly ordered the whole army to prepare for departure.

Going to Changbai Mountain at this moment to continue chasing the remaining troops would certainly be useful, maybe they could destroy their boats crossing the river and leave all the Jianzhou tribe on the north bank of the Yalu River. , there will be no more battles, and Mao Wenlong's contribution is limited to this.

But if people from Jianzhou cross the river to North Korea and cause turmoil in North Korea, the impact will be even greater. At that time, Mao Wenlong's contribution will be even greater, and he will be able to show his face in front of the North Koreans, and use the mouths of the North Koreans to help himself Please do your best, so that you can maximize your military exploits.

There is no need to be such a little pro.

There is always a place to use your talents.

He made up his mind to exchange the turmoil in North Korea for his own credit.

As for how many people will die in North Korea...

How many people died in North Korea has nothing to do with me, Mao Wenlong?
He didn't care.

So Mao Wenlong set off for Kuandian Fort with two thousand cavalry, and before that, he ordered all the living prisoners to be killed, leaving no one behind.

After leaving a lot of corpses, Mao Wenlong set fire to them, and then led his troops away.

At this time, it was the eighteenth day of September in the first year of Longwu.
