"Go down and tell your tribe's soldiers and horses, and prepare to withdraw."

With a grim face, Kakuro commanded several tribal leaders.

Several clan leaders did not leave, but looked at Jiao Guluo with unwilling expressions.

They followed Jiao Guluo and led the troops out of Qingtang, but now that the official war has not been fought and nothing has been gained, they will withdraw from the army, and they are naturally unwilling.

Jiao Guluo saw their thoughts, and said coldly: "I'm not reconciled, but is it useful?" If we don't leave, we won't be able to leave if we want to. ”

A few tribal heads, you look at me, I look at you.

After a long time, one of the clan leaders gritted his teeth and said, "Even if we have to leave, we have to fight." If you don't fight a single battle, you just retreat, how can you explain to your clansmen when you go back? ”

Jiao Guluo glanced at the clan leader and said coldly, "Haven't you already fought before?" ”

The tribal leader's face was a little ugly.

A feint is also a fight?!

"Zampu, the previous one was just a feint, not a fight at all. If we don't have a good fight with the Song people, then our troops will go out of Qingtang this time, and it will be considered a vain.

Not only will the morale of the tribal warriors suffer, but the people in the tribe will also think that we are afraid of the Song people. ”

"That's right, Zampu, we used 500,000 soldiers and horses this time, and almost all the soldiers and horses in Qingtang were evacuated. If you go back empty-handed, those people will definitely complain. ”

“……”

Several clan leaders said unwillingly.

Horn Guy Luo glared, "You think I don't want to fight?" There are traitors among us, traitors are not clear, how can you let me fight with confidence? ”

At the mention of the traitor, several clan leaders fell silent for a moment.

The horns were afraid that the traitors would turn against them, and so were they.

But let them withdraw now, they are unwilling in their hearts, and they are in a dilemma for a while.

Seeing that several clan leaders did not speak, Jiao Guluo continued: "Retreat first, retreat to Suzhou City, and then consider the others." ”

Several clan leaders hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.

Horngara sent a few of the tribal chiefs and hurried back to his tent.

After sitting down, Jiao Guluo immediately summoned his cronies and ordered in a deep voice: "Quickly send someone to the border of Xining Prefecture in the Song Kingdom." Check for me if there is any change in the army that attacked the Song State from Xining Prefecture.

If there is any change, he will order Arur to destroy the traitor as soon as possible, and then gather the remnants of his army and move closer to the west of the river, ready to meet us at any time.

If there are no variables, remind Arul that the people of Yuanshan are all traitors, and let him find a way to clean up the group of traitors for me. ”

Others' eyes were on the battlefield of Yumen Pass, but Jiao Guluo took into account the army that went to the Song Kingdom.

The leaders of that army were Arur, Mu Zhi, and Wonsan Iron Cavalry.

Among them, Alur is the main one.

For Arur, Kakugara is absolute trust.

Because Arul, like Kakuro, started with him, unlike other people, who came to him halfway.

Kakuro believed that there was Arur in that army, and even if the commander of the Wonshan Iron Cavalry interfered with it, it would not have much impact on that army.

Even Mu Zhi rebelled.

With 150,000 soldiers and horses, Alur was still able to suppress Mu Zhi and the Wonsan Iron Cavalry.

Therefore, Jiao Guluo firmly believes that even if there are variables in the soldiers and horses going to the hinterland of the Song Kingdom, they will still retain a lot of strength.

The current situation is extremely unfavorable for Jiaoluo.

Jiao Guluo no longer planned to let Qingtang's soldiers and horses go to the Song State to plunder, he needed to shrink his forces to deal with the Song soldiers in Hexi.

After hearing Kakuro's order, Kakuro's cronies left the tent, took a group of guards, and rode their horses out of front of the Jade Gate.

Just when Jiao Guluo instructed his cronies to go to Xining Prefecture to check.

Several clan chiefs had already walked out with the news that there were traitors among the generals.

For a time, people in the Qingtang barracks were panicked, and everyone was in danger.

Changes in the Qingtang barracks.

Kou Ji and Chong Shiheng, who were sitting in the city of Yumen Pass, saw it clearly.

At the head of the city, Kou Ji and Chong Shiheng stood side by side.

Chong Shiheng looked at the Qingtang military camp that was tight and internal strife, and muttered: "Jiao Guluo is dead? ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "Are you telling me a joke?" ”

Chong Shiheng pointed to the Qingtang military camp, "There has been no movement for several days, and there is internal strife inside and outside the barracks, which is obviously a sign that will only appear after the commander is dead." ”

Kou Ji shook his head slowly and said, "Jiao Guluo is strong, how can he die so easily. If he really died, the Qingtang soldiers outside the city would probably have retreated long ago. ”

Chong Shiheng asked: "Then you say, why is there such a sign of external tension and internal strife in the Qingtang military camp." ”

Kou Ji smiled indifferently, "If I expected it to be good, it should be that the battle in Yangguan has come to an end, so there will be a scene of external tension and internal strife in the Qingtang military camp."

The outside is tight, because they prevent someone from escaping.

The civil strife shows that everyone is in danger. ”

Chong Shiheng was stunned for a moment, and his eyes narrowed slightly, "Yuanshanbu is really his own person?!" ”

When Kou Ji said this, Chong Shiheng naturally understood what was going on.

If Jiao Guluo is not dead, and there is a scene of external tension and internal strife in the Qingtang military camp, it means that there are traitors in the Qingtang military camp.

And Jiao Guluo couldn't find the traitor for a while, but there was a leak of the rumors, so there would be chaos in the Qingtang military camp.

Kou Ji glanced at Chong Shiheng and smiled indifferently: "If it's just that the Yuanshan Department is his own person, is the Qingtang military camp so messy?" You must know that the soldiers and horses of the Yuanshan Department are not in the Qingtang military camp. ”

Chong Shiheng stared at him in astonishment, and exclaimed, "Qingtang's own people have also rebelled? ”

Kou Ji said angrily: "What is called rebellion, that is called abandoning the darkness and turning to the light." ”

Without waiting for Chong Shiheng to speak again, Kou Ji continued: "When Jiao Guluo sent soldiers and horses to attack Yumen Pass before, I took a closer look, and there were no Akrui warriors among the soldiers and horses in Qingtang.

That means that the people sent to Yangguan by Jiaoguoluo should be the Yuanshan Department and the Akruyi Department.

The leader of the Akruys is our men. ”

Chong Shiheng said with a look of disbelief: "The Akrui tribe is a very ancient Tibetan clan, how did you plot against them?" ”

Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "It's not me who plotted against them. It was the horns themselves who turned against them. ”

Seeing that Shiheng looked puzzled.

Kou Ji explained with a smile: "When Jiao Guluo collected the major tribes of Tubo before, he was too ruthless. Among the 37 tribes in Tibet, the heads of more than 20 tribes were beheaded by him.

The leaders of the other Tibetan tribes were naturally panicked.

Just when they are at a loss for what to do.

I discussed with the official family and opened a one-word Jiaozi shop in Xining Prefecture.

At the same time, he withdrew from the strategy of saving 1 million guan and sending the household registration to Bianjing.

And he sent people to wander among the leaders of the great Tibetan tribes and informed them of the matter.

After they learned about this, they secretly sent most of the clan's savings to the Yizizi shop for storage.

The word Jiaozi shop the household registration of Bianjing City issued by them.

They quietly sent the most important heir of the clan to Bianjing City.

When the officials saw that they were giving money and protons, they thought they were talents that could be created.

secretly went to Xining Prefecture, met with them, and promised certain benefits. ”

After listening to Kou Ji's words, Chong Shiheng didn't know what to say.

When Jiao Guluo was eradicating dissidents in Qingtang, Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen were shamelessly digging the foot of the wall next to them.

With the strength shown by the Great Song Dynasty, it is not easy to bless those who are forced by the horns and have no way out.

This kind of corner is not a one-size-fits-all mark.

Qingtang people are not like Song people, and they don't have too many feelings for their family and country.

When they took refuge in the Great Song Dynasty, they didn't have any psychological burden at all.

From the founding of the Great Song Dynasty to the present, there are countless small tribes that have defected from Qingtang, Western Xia, and Liao.

Every year, there are always hundreds of people who escape from Qingtang, Western Xia, and Liao, and become the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, those who were cornered and cornered not only did not have a burden in their hearts when they took refuge in the Great Song Dynasty, but also had lessons to follow.

Chong Shiheng couldn't help but sigh: "The official family and you are really at a loss." ”

Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "You are wrong. The officials and I were really just worried about their money at first. At first, the officials and I thought that they had deposited their money in our Great Song Dynasty, and when the Jiaoluo killed them, we would kill their children and swallow their money.

It's just that I didn't expect that after they saved the money to my Great Song Dynasty, they had a way out, and they were also single when they faced Jiaoluo, and they actually voted for Jiaoluo.

Jiao Guluo actually didn't kill them, and gave them official work.

From beginning to end, this matter was led by Jiao Guluo, and the official family and I were just pushing the boat down the river, which was not a last resort.

Don't think so much about me and the official family. ”

Chong Shiheng couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Still not in the dark?

Even if the leaders of the various tribes in Qingtang were forced to rebel, it was the fault of Jiaoguoluo.

can take advantage of the death of other people, kill other people's heirs, and embezzle other people's assets, which has nothing to do with Jiao Guluo.

Horned robbers, you belong to the secret robbery.

Seeing that Chong Shiheng was rolling his eyes and being silent, Kou Ji chuckled lightly and reminded: "Slandering the official family is a big crime to kill the head." ”

The corners of Chong Shiheng's mouth twitched, and he wanted to curse a little.

Kou Ji restrained the smile on his face, stared at the Qingtang military camp outside the city, and said, "So far, there are traitors in the Qingtang military camp, and there are a lot of things, and they can't hide it.

What do you think Kakuro will do next? ”

Chong Shiheng pondered for a moment and said, "Jiao Guluo should retreat!" ”

I don't know how many traitors are ambushed around Kakuro.

Before the traitor is found, if Jiao Guluo dares to fight, then he is not worthy of being the king of Qingtang.

Kou Ji nodded slowly, "I also think he will retreat, but if he wants to retreat, he has to ask us." Since he dared to send troops to plot against my Great Song Dynasty, he would have to pay the corresponding price. ”

"Leave them all in Hexi?"

Kind of Shiheng questioned.

Kou Ji nodded and said, "I spent more than a month with the Liao soldiers and the Black Khan soldiers in order to fish them out. Now that they have finally been fished out, how can they be allowed to return. ”

Chong Shiheng pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go down and arrange, and when they retreat, I'll lead the troops out to pursue." ”

Kou Ji reminded: "If you can fight, you can fight, if you can't, bite them." It took years for Kakuro to secretly forge a heavy armored cavalry, which should be hidden in his army.

If he sends a heavy armored rider to bite back while you are pursuing, you will also suffer.

Therefore, if you can fight, you can fight, and if you can't fight, you can wait for Di Qing to lead the soldiers and horses of Yangguan to come over and form an encirclement. ”

Chong Shiheng nodded and said, "Understood......"

Chong Shiheng went down to the city, selected 100,000 elite horsemen, and selected 100,000 black sweat people, ready to pursue the Qingtang soldiers.

Qingtang Barracks.

After a day of fermentation, the news of a traitor in the army spread completely.

Jiao Guluo walked around the camp, and when he saw that everyone in the camp was in danger, they all had the intention of retreating, and he knew that the fire was coming.

Immediately, he summoned all the generals in the army and announced the retreat from Suzhou.

After receiving this order, the generals in the army were very unwilling, but none of them objected.

It can be seen that the generals also understood through the reaction of the officers and men in the army.

If the traitors are not removed, the soldiers in the barracks are panicked, and there is no way to fight.

Subsequently, the generals passed the order of Kakugara to the army.

After the officers and soldiers in the army learned about this, their faces all showed a relaxed look, as if they had let go of something important in their hearts.

After the military order was delivered, Jiao Guluo immediately ordered the soldiers in the army to pack their bags and prepare to withdraw the army.

Just as they packed their tents, packed their bags, and got on their horses to leave.

The gate of the Jade Gate slowly opened.

100,000 Black Khans were killed.

The 100,000 black sweat people who rushed out of the Yumen Pass were the 100,000 black sweat people that Kou Ji rescued outside the Yumen Pass.

They spent more than a month with Kou Ji outside the Yumen Pass, recognized Kou Ji's identity as an envoy, and were willing to fight for Kou Ji.

They obeyed Koji's orders.

Chong Shiheng has not been able to understand it until now.

Because Chong Shiheng has never seen a captive of any force, after being captured, he will willingly help the enemy to fight.

Kou Ji explained to Chong Shiheng.

It is said that it is the power of faith.

But Shiheng doesn't believe it.

Kou Ji didn't explain any more.

The Black Khan people fought and there were not many rules.

Therefore, after 100,000 black sweat people rushed out of the Yumen Pass, they rushed towards the Qingtang people in a swarm.

During this period, there was no formation like an arrow formation.

They were soldiers, but they fought like horse thieves.

After seeing the 100,000 black sweat people rushing out of the Jade Gate Pass, Jiao Guluo gritted his teeth.

The peculiar skin color and hair color told Jiao Guluo who those who rushed out of the Jade Gate Pass.

Black Khan.

Once an enemy of the Song Kingdom.

Now it is the vanguard of the Song Kingdom.

Facing the Qingtang soldiers, who had more than twice as many troops as them, they did not hesitate to launch a charge, which showed that they were willing to die for the Song State.

The people of the Song Kingdom have already subdued their hearts.

"Let's go!"

Horn kicked the horse in the belly and led his men away.

The Black Khan man clung to their backs, not leaving an inch.

The 100,000 iron horsemen led by Chong Shiheng only left the Yumen Pass after the Black Khan people chased the Qingtang people out of the three miles.

It's not that Chong Shiheng is passive to fight, but that Chong Shiheng feels that there are qualified pioneers to help them bite the Qingtang people, and there is no need for him to take the Great Song soldiers to persecute the Qingtang soldiers.

Jiao Guluo wants to retreat, and Chong Shiheng will give him enough time to retreat.

In the case of pursuing soldiers behind, retreating is a very mental and physical thing.

When the mental and physical strength of the Qingtang soldiers are almost consumed, Chong Shiheng will lead people to attack the Qingtang soldiers, which will have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.

Of course, there is a more important point.

That is, the cavalry on the grassland has a unique skill, but not many of the Great Song soldiers know it.

This unique skill is sleeping on horseback.

Once the cavalry on the steppe was on horseback, they could eat, drink, and sleep on horseback, so they could ride their horses day and night.

But the Great Song soldiers couldn't.

Even if the cavalry on the steppe fell asleep on horseback, the staggering bumps would not fall.

But the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, as long as they sleep, will definitely fall off their horses.

Therefore, it is not appropriate to play a chase battle with the Qingtang soldiers, in the words of the Great Song soldiers.

The eyes of the Great Song soldiers were red, and it was okay to chase them for three or two days, no matter how long the time was, they would definitely not be able to endure it.

In comparison, the Black Khan people can accompany the Qingtang soldiers to survive all the time.

Because they will also sleep on horseback skills.

The two sides chased after me, and it didn't take long for them to run out for ten miles.

Kakuro's own soldiers rode their horses to Kakuro's side, and said urgently: "Zampu, the enemy is chasing too quickly, which is very unfavorable to us, and if we let them chase down, our horses with heavy armor will not be able to carry it." ”

"Damn it!"

Horn Guy Luo cursed in a low voice.

"Tell Ashanbei to go to the queen of the break!"

"Yes!"

His soldiers rode away from the back of Kakuro, and it wasn't long before the order of Kakura reached the ears of the head of the Ashanbei tribe.

When the leader of the Ashanbei tribe learned of this order, his first reaction was that he had been abandoned by Kakuro.

He was unwilling to follow orders.

But Kakuro's own soldiers, with a few overseers, forced him to obey Kakuro's orders.

The leader of the Ashanbei tribe had to lead 30,000 warriors of his tribe to stay behind and break the rear.

A few of Jiaoluo's own soldiers also stayed, ready to help the Ashanbei tribe defend against the Black Khans.

It's just that when the Black Khan people rushed closer, the head of the Ashanbei tribe suddenly led people to attack the personal soldiers of Jiaoluo.

"If Jiao Guluo doesn't give us a way to live, then we will vote for the Song people! If Cruy voted for the Song people, he must have gotten great benefits, and we can also get great benefits if we voted for the Song people! ”

The leader of the Ashanbei tribe shouted as he led his people and slaughtered the soldiers of the Horn Gola.

The number of Jiaoguoluo's own soldiers was small, and after being surrounded by the warriors of the Ashanbei tribe, there was no possibility of escaping at all.

"You dare to betray Zampu?!"

The Horned Soldier stared at the leader of the Ashanbei tribe in disbelief.

The leader of the Ashanbei tribe roared angrily, "The other party's vanguard has 100,000, and I don't know how many tens of thousands of soldiers and horses there are behind it." The horns of the Horn Guy are to let us break off, and it is clear that we are sent to death!

If He doesn't care about our life or death, why should we be loyal to Him! ”

Without waiting for the horned soldiers, they spoke again.

The knife of the leader of the Ashanbei tribe had fallen on his head.

By the time the Black Khans rushed in front of them, the leaders of the Ashanbei tribe had slaughtered the Horns' own soldiers, and dismounted and surrendered with all the warriors of the tribe.

The Black Khans didn't pay attention to them, but rushed past them like a swarm of bees.

The Black Khans were familiar with this kind of imminent surrender.

Because when they fought with the Black Khan King Yusufu in the past, almost all the enemies obediently surrendered wherever hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses passed.

Those who dared to resist them were almost all slaughtered by them.

From the Black Khanate to the present, only the Western Uighurs and the Great Song have not surrendered under their forces.

The former held them back for decades, until the Liao soldiers helped them and they were defeated.

The latter crushed them and nearly destroyed them.

Now that the familiar feeling appeared in front of them again, they felt that they had become the invincible battle again, and they worked harder to chase and kill the Qingtang soldiers and horses.

The Black Khans roared past the people of the Ashanbebe.

After the Black Khan people chased the Qingtang soldiers away, the people of the Ashanbei tribe stood stupidly in place, not knowing how to react.

They thought that the other party would take the prisoners, but the other party ignored them and left.

Could it be that just by pretending to be a submission, you can fool your pursuers?

It turns out that they overthink.

Just as they were about to get on their horses and leave.

Chong Shiheng appeared in front of them with people.

They had to show a gesture of submission again.

Chong Shiheng rode his horse to the head of Ashanbei's tribe, frowned and asked, "Your own people?" ”

The head of the Ashanbei tribe was a little confused.

Chong Shiheng asked again: "Is there a token?" ”

The head of Ashanbei's department was even more confused.

Seeing that he asked two questions, the head of the Ashanbei tribe did not answer, and he knew that the head of the Ashanbei tribe was not the person who rebelled against Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen.

Immediately, he turned back and instructed the soldiers behind him.

"Leave 3,000 people behind, escort the captives back to Yumen Pass, and the others will follow me to continue the pursuit!"

Chong Shiheng gave an order, leaving a group of soldiers and horses to collect the prisoners, and he chased after them with other soldiers and horses.

……

Jiao Guluo led the soldiers and horses to gallop out for five miles, and when he heard the sound of the horses' hooves behind him, his brows were almost wrinkled into a Sichuan character.

Without waiting for Kakuro to ask, one of his own soldiers rode his horse and galloped in front of Kakuro, and shouted: "Zampu, Ashanbeibu ran into the enemy, and he didn't fight, so he surrendered." ”

When Kakuro heard this, he almost fell off his horse.

"Ashan! You traitor! I'm going to kill all your family! ”

The anger in Kakuro's chest couldn't be hidden at all, and he couldn't help but curse hysterically.

In fact, Kakuro mistakenly blamed Ah Shan, the head of the Ashan Beibu.

Ah Shan did not betray him, Ah Shan was just forced by him to face several times the enemy, cowardly and dissatisfied, so he surrendered.

As for loyalty, the tribal leaders and tribal warriors who took refuge in the later period had almost no loyalty to speak of.

Before Jiaoguoluo unified the Tibetan tribes, everyone was doing their own thing, and one by one stood in a pasture and became the king of the mountain.

When Jiaoluo unified Tibet, he used his strength to force all ethnic groups in Tibet to attach themselves to his banner.

Now the famous Tibetan man Cruid betrayed the horns.

But there was no way to counter it.

Then Ah Shan betrayed the horns, and there was no pressure.
