Chapter 515: East Fence Offers
、、、、、、、、、、
"Brother Ming, after I learned the news, I was very anxious. So I pretended to be seriously ill, and lured the guards who were guarding me into the tent, and then beat them unconscious, tied them up, put strips of cloth in their mouths, and dragged them under my bed......"
At this time, there was already fragrant sweat on her forehead, and she wanted to wipe the sweat with her hands, only to remember that she was still being tied, and when she pouted aggrievedly, she said: "Brother Ming, Sister Shumeng, quickly untie me!" ”
Only then did everyone realize that this innocent and lovely Turkic princess was still bound.
Yu Ming and Shu Meng flew up to Dong Li's side at the same time, and then untied the rope for her personally.
When Yu Ming's hand touched Dong Li's delicate body, he only felt her body tremble slightly.
Immediately, a unique fragrance of the girl came to fill his nose, which made him feel a little uneasy.
Yu Ming took a deep breath and made his spiritual platform clear again.
"I'm sorry! East Fence! At this time, Shumeng had already untied the rope on Dong Li's body and said apologetically.
"Sister Shumeng! I miss you and Brother Ming so much! Dong Li threw himself into Shumeng's arms, sobbing and continuing to tell her story.
It turned out that after Dong Li escaped from his tent under house arrest, he planned to go south immediately to join Yuming! However, when he sneaked out of the Turkic tent, he happened to pass by the large tent of the Jieli Khan, and happened to hear him discussing matters with the visiting Khan of Sheku.
And the topic between the two is to discuss how to marry her to the Khan of the age who can be her father.
Jieli wanted to shoot a few pieces of disputed pasture at the junction of the East and West Turks as a bride price and give it to ******. However, the Khan did not agree, saying that these grasslands were clearly Western Turkic as early as when the two formed an alliance. Although he is a khan, in order to marry a woman, he has to cut so much pasture and go out, then his position as khan will not be stable.
After arguing for a while, Jieli finally relented and agreed not to want the pastures. But it was hoped that the Khan would send 200,000 men to attack the Central Plains with him.
The Khan agreed to send troops, but did not agree to send so many men, because he knew that the defeated land could not be connected with the Western Turks, and it would still be cheaper ****** then. The two discussed for a long time before finally reaching a compromise.
The Khan will send an army of 100,000 troops, led by his generals Ashinakin and Ashinake, to attack the Central Plains according to Jieli's arrangement. Regardless of the victory or defeat of the war, the plundered property and women belong to the generals who lead the troops, and the soldiers are also responsible for their own casualties. Jieli agreed to marry Dongli to the Khan of Shekui, but the Khan of Jiekui had to make Dongli Khatun, not just a concubine.
"When I heard them discuss like this, I thought that I had already heard from my subordinates that after defeating my brother, Uncle Jieli planned to invade the Central Plains on a large scale, and had already subdued Liang Shidu, the general of the former Sui, as a pawn. Now that it is supported by the 100,000 troops of the Western Turks, the force will be even stronger......"
At this time, Dong Liang said faintly: "I was afraid that Brother Ming, you would fall for their plot, so I hurriedly slipped out of the camp, and then grabbed a horse and came towards the Central Plains. In order to avoid the pursuers, Shang circled around the control of the Xuyantuo Department, so he only arrived at Mayi until now...... But it's okay, God pity Dongli, so I finally saw you......"
After hearing Dongli's words, Yu Ming couldn't help but open his mouth, he never expected that the Western Turks would also send an army of 100,000 to participate in the battle. In this case, the total strength of the Turks will have to be reestimated.
"Miss Dongli, are you mistaken? Aren't Ashinakin and Ashinake Jieli's generals? Why did he become a subordinate of the Khan again? Aren't they surnamed Ashina? Qin Qiong asked with some surprise.
"How can I not even tell whether Ashinakin and Ashnake are from the ****** or from the Western Turks?" Dong Li said with some amusement: "Have you captured the prisoners?" As soon as you ask the captured Turkic soldiers, you will know which side of these two guys with one brain are from. As for the surname, there is no problem! Our ****** royal family and the Western Turkic royal family are originally the same branch, and they are both surnamed Ashina......"
Yu Ming finally understood why he always felt that something was wrong. It turned out that this Ashinakin and Ashinake were not ****** generals at all, they were from the Western Turks. I have been fighting against the Western Turkic Army during the day.
But in this case, where did the ****** army go?
Yu Ming had a bad premonition in his heart.
At this moment, a scout on a fast horse rushed in from outside the mansion, shouting as he ran: "King Zhou! Big things are wrong! The Turks broke through the Juyong Pass and rushed straight to Beiping. ”
"What?" When everyone heard this, they were all surprised. Unexpectedly, they won the battle and defeated the 100,000 Turkic army, and then the news came that the Turks had marched to Beiping.
"How many people are there in the Turkic army? Who is the main general? Redsleeves asked sharply.
"Princess, the Turkic army is about 200,000 people, looking at the golden wolf banner they are fighting, it should be led by the Turkic Khan Jieli himself!" The scout hurriedly said.
"Now the situation is clear. Jieli was to let the 100,000 reinforcements of the Western Turks, in his name, together with the Liang division, attack the areas of Mayi, Yanmen, and Loufu to attract our attention, and then he himself personally led the main force of 200,000 and rushed towards Beiping. As long as Beiping is breached. Then the losses of our army will be heavy. This is not only a loss of troops, cities and materials, but also a serious blow to the morale of our army, the morale of the army, and the hearts of the people, and the confidence of the surnames in King Zhou's domination of the world will also be shaken! Hu Sizheng said with a gloomy face.
The faces of the generals were very ugly, they never expected that they would be hit by the Turks' plan to attack the east and west, and divert the tiger from the mountain.
"Brother Wuji, you came from Beiping, how many troops are there in Beiping now?" Qin Qiong hurriedly asked.
Eldest Sun Wuji said with a bitter face: "At that time, we all thought that the focus of the Turkic attack was Hedong, so we transferred the main force over, and only 50,000 troops were left in the entire Hebei region, of which only 10,000 were left in Beiping!" ”
"Only 10,000 people? How can you keep Beiping! Red Sleeves was also anxious when he heard it.
"For now, we can only send reinforcements quickly! Otherwise, Beiping will definitely defend it! ”
"I don't know if the defenders of Beiping can hold on to us and rush over! By the way, who is the current guard over there? ”
"I know that! It was Luo Cheng and Yuqing County Lord, as well as Lord Du, Lord Wei, and Lord Fang. ”
"Lord Du, they are all officials, although the county lord of Yuqing is brave, but he is a woman, I am afraid that the defense of the city can only depend on General Luo Cheng."
"Hey, I wish it was in time!"
All the generals had ugly faces, all worried, and offered advice one after another.
Yu Ming was also a little irritable at the moment, he never expected that he would fall into Jieli's plan and fall into such an unfavorable situation. Although he can immediately send troops to rescue Beiping, he doesn't know if the time will come. Moreover, Jieli has carefully planned this good policy. How could it be defenseless? If he led the army to reinforce in the direction of Beiping, then the Liang division would definitely chase after him.
When the soldiers learned that they had been attacked, they rushed to reinforcements in a hurry, and the enemy chased after them from behind, which would inevitably cause a great rout. At that time, not only will Beiping not be saved, but the main force of the Zhou army will suffer heavy losses.
"King Zhou, now we only have to divide our troops!" Xu Shiji stepped forward at this time and suggested: "Now my subordinates propose that our troops be divided into two, one to rescue Beiping, and the other to stay in Mayi to prevent the Liang division from pursuing. Now we can do everything and take care of everything! ”
"It's not easy to divide the troops!" The eldest grandson Wuji said worriedly: "Now our army is only about 200,000, although we have defeated the 100,000 Turkic army led by the Ashinajin brothers, they still have more than 20,000 people still fighting hard. Moreover, the main force of the Liang Division's army is still there, with a total strength of no less than 150,000. How many men do we have to keep behind to hold back the enemy's 170,000 army? ”
"In addition, the Beiping side has to deal with a 200,000 Turkic army, which is still led by ****** Khan Jieli himself, and both the morale and combat effectiveness of the army are far from being comparable to the Western Turkic army that we fought during the day...... And there are only 10,000 troops in Beiping at present, how many troops will we send reinforcements? Can we hold Beiping City? Eldest Sun Wuji sighed and said.
Yu Ming only felt at this time that he really hated less when the soldiers were used. The nominal Zhou army has an army of 600,000 and a large territory to occupy, and soldiers and horses need to be stationed in various places to defend it. Excluding the troops left behind in Liaodong, Korea, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Hedong, and other places, his actual strength that can be used for mobile combat is less than 100,000. As a result, he felt severely underwhelmed by two powerful enemies at the same time.
"It seems that after this war, we will have to expand the army!" Yu Ming secretly thought in his heart. However, he immediately squeezed the thought out of his mind, and now he had to think about how to defeat the enemy.
"It's a good way to divide the soldiers! However, in this way, our army is at a disadvantage on the two fronts of Mayi and Beiping, and if it is only to hold the city, it may not be possible. But it's hard to defeat the enemy! Hu Sizheng objected: "If this situation of confrontation between the two armies continues, it will be very unfavorable to our army!" Now Xiao Mo can't hold out for a few days. Once he is destroyed, Du Fuwei and Li Yuan will quickly move north, and the enemy our army will face will be even stronger. If it is still this kind of situation of being attacked by the enemy, I am afraid that defeat will be inevitable! ”
"Yes! So we must end the fight as soon as possible, and as soon as possible! It's best to defeat the enemy within a month! Yu Ming took a deep breath and said.
