Chapter 308: Eliminate the Tuoba Division
The Tuoba Department has always been the backbone of Western Xia, and every time it goes to war, it is the tribe that sends the most troops, and of course, it is also the tribe that gets the most loot, so it has always been the main supporter of the Western Xia royal family. In the more than 100 years since the founding of the Western Xia, almost every war, the Tuoba Department has borne the brunt and acted as the main force. The long-term strength has gradually increased the internal corruption, which is as inevitable as the law of corruption in the feudal dynasty.
The current Western Xia is a great injury to the vitality, coupled with the loss of 90,000 troops one after another, so that the total strength of the current Tuoba Department is less than 20,000, but despite this, Tuoba Ke still does not blame the two sons, he firmly believes that as long as he eases this breath, with the cooperation of the Feiting tribe, the Pochao tribe, and the Tibetan tribe, it can still be reversed, after all, the Western Liao army has a maximum of 60,000 troops, plus huge losses in the two wars, and now it is barely more than 30,000, and the three tribes should have more than 70,000, plus 20,000 of the Tuoba tribe, This means that there are still 90,000 troops to fight. In the case of three to one, there is still a chance of winning.
People are not as good as heaven, there is an inconspicuous guy Tuoba Lie in the Tuoba Ministry, he was punished for making mistakes, and the Mili Ministry was bribed in the name of the imperial court, this guy finally chose to betray the tribe.
An army of 50,000 surrounded the Tuoba Department, and the first of them was the Han Wangqi who was armed with teeth, and this battle was to crush the Tuoba Department with a thunderous force, and then it was a bloody killing.
Tuoba Lie, the villain, carefully opened the gate of the village, although this guy is a villain, but after all, he is the younger brother of Tuoba Ke, and he still has power in the tribe, otherwise he would not be able to open the gate of the village, and the Milli Department would not have won over this guy.
In the middle of the night, the entire Tuoba Department was already asleep, but the Han army was already ready to go, Xiao Gan saw that the gate of the village was wide open, so he said to Hua Rong: "General Hua, the first battle is up to you, the faster your impact, the smaller the casualties of our army." ”
"Kill only the army, or kill them all?"
"Anyone who resists will be killed regardless of gender."
With Hua Rong's order, the Han Wang rode out like a torrent of steel, the torches in their hands were lit, followed by the entire night sky lit up, and one by one the lighted arrows were shot on the tent, the torches were thrown on the tent, and the entire Tuoba Department became a sea of fire.
The shouts tore through the entire night sky, and the warriors of the Tuoba tribe hurried to meet the battle, but in the case of a panicked expedition, how could they fight the Han king's cavalry, which was armed to the teeth?
Killing, turning the entire Tuoba tribe into a hell on earth.
Tuoba Ke knew that this time the Tuoba Department was facing a catastrophe, which was the same as the previous Mili Ministry's extermination of the Fine Sealing Department, and the result of the death in this case was to be uprooted, in this case, he asked his sons to break through separately and go to the Fei Ting's clan, Pochao's clan, and Wuzang's clan to find rescuers.
Break through, the entire Tuoba Department has been surrounded by the Han army, the Han King Cavalry inside is like an elephant breaking into the wolves, the Tuoba Department was rushed to pieces, and it can't organize an effective defense at all, as for the attack, hehe, a group of Tuoba warriors who can't even find the war horse for a while, in the face of the outrageously powerful Han Wangqi, doomed to be slaughtered, and counterattacked.
broke through, Tuoba Ke's seven sons and ten sons-in-law were all hunted down, and none of them escaped. He himself had his head cut off, and at dawn, near the end of the battle, all the men of the Tuoba tribe who exceeded the height of the wheels were beheaded, and all the others became prisoners.
Whether it is money, or a woman, or a child, it was finally handed over to the Mili Ministry, after all, the Western Xia still needs the Mili Ministry in a short time, and the next step is to fight in Tubo, and the Western Xia army is the main force, in this case, it is still necessary to comfort the Mili Qunfeng. The Han army just took away the war horses, this was the previous agreement, the Han army lacked war horses, so the war horses were taken away by the Han army as trophies.
Tuoba Lie, an unlucky bastard, was executed as a substitute for the dead ghost, which can be regarded as an explanation to the people of Western Xia, the fall of Tuoba is infighting, but how can there be so many casualties in infighting?
After the battle, Hua Rong said to Xiao Gan: "After the battle, we should also go back to the rest of the matter, and we will not participate." ”
"General Hua, you take away the five thousand soldiers of Western Liao, the king of Han means that one-third of them will be brought back to the imperial capital for rectification, and then gradually dispersed to other teams, and finally fused together. In addition, our Dragon Guard Army digested one-third, and the remaining five thousand were sent to Yunzhou. Only when the reorganization and integration are completely completed can Yeluyi be listed. ”
"Okay, I'll take it away, as for how to reorganize, I don't think the Lord has other arrangements."
Arrangement, the King of Han does have an arrangement, if he wants to fight against the Jin State, it is far from enough to rely on the current Han army, and the local war can rely on strategy, but the war with the Jin State is a national war, and the battle line will stretch for thousands of miles. From Hedong Road to Jingdong Road, dozens of state cities will go to war, and even wars with longer fronts and more flowering are destined to be a contest of national strength. In this kind of strong dialogue, it is strength that ultimately determines the outcome of the game, not strategy, and the Han army is far inferior to the Jin army.
Now, although Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang will not go out again, there are at least two dozen generals of the Wanyan family who can be pulled out, and each of them can take charge on his own. The 500,000 Jin army is fierce, and these are not something that the Han army can compete with.
Unless it is a head-to-head duel with hundreds of thousands of troops, the king of Han will not go on an expedition, and in the future, he will rely on the generals below and a strong army. The Liao State is destroyed, but the Khitan warriors are brave and good at fighting, which is recognized by the world, but if you want to make it a vassal army, you still need an appealing Liao nobleman, although Xiao Gan was a nobleman, after all, he was born in the Xi clan, as for the recruitment of Khitan warriors, he still lacks influence, but Yelu Yilie is different, which is why the King of Han kept this Western Liao crown prince.
After being moisturized, Yelupu Suwan really became more charming and more enchanting, which may be the unique charm of Khitan beauties, who were more open when serving, as if riding a horse on the grassland, that kind of wildness made men want to stop, and the dissoluteness of the voice seemed to break the roof.
King Han said to Yelupu, who was charming in his arms: "Yelu Yilie has been escorted to the capital, and the other 5,000 Xiliao warriors have been sent over, I have already explained to you, I don't know how you will repay me?" ”
Yelupu put his arms around the neck of King Han and said, "Husband, do you think I'm good to be the queen of Xiliao?" ”
"Of course, let's talk about it, what are your plans, how can I help you?"
"Let my brother fight in the army, train him into a generation of famous generals, and then marry and have children. As long as a son is born, everything will fall into place. When he returns to Western Liao, after he succeeds his father and ascends the throne, he will make a crown prince. ”
When the king of Han heard this, he immediately understood Yelupu's ambition, that is, he would secretly execute Yeluyilie, and then he would come to supervise the country, and then take the opportunity to get rid of the little emperor and succeed to the throne smoothly.
Killing her brother and nephew, this woman's heart is really wild.
Yelupu Suwan was a clever woman in ice and snow, and she realized the unhappiness of the Han King, so she said delicately: "Don't you want our son to rule the Western Liao? You must know that the Western world is vast and far above the Central Plains. You want to be the co-ruler of the world, not the king of Han in a corner of the world. ”
"You mean there's now?"
"No, you have to work harder, Lord Wang." Speaking of this, Yelupu blushed, turned over and said, "The slave family wants to ride a horse." ”
Ambition, who doesn't have ambition? It's just that Yelupu's ambition is too great, but the King of Han is not surprised, in history, Yelupu is the fourth emperor of Western Liao, Emperor Chengtian, and the last female emperor of Western Liao.
In history, Yelupu was not only ambitious to get the queen, but also had a scandal of cheating with his brother-in-law, in this case, the king of Han had to guard against it, after all, Xiliao was thousands of miles away from the Han Dynasty, and if he couldn't control it, wouldn't he become a green grassland?
It seems that he still needs to have a good talk with Xiao Lira, this guy belongs to the founding father of Western Liao, and he is the king of the Southern Courtyard with great authority, and he is in a high position, as long as this guy is willing to make a move, everything is possible.
Xiao Lili didn't expect that the King of Han would be able to meet him in person, and he knelt down and said excitedly: "The foreign minister knocks on His Majesty the King of Han." ”
"Why do you call yourself a foreign minister?" After the King of Han helped Xiao Lili up, he said with a smile: "That's right, you are already the king of the Southern Courtyard of Western Liao, I can't give you such a high official position, and it's right to call yourself a foreign minister." ”
"Okay, don't see it outside, I heard that Mr. likes drunken dreams and death wine, let's taste it brewed by me myself today."
Although Liu Zhenglong, the king of the Han Dynasty, created his own drunken wine and dreamed of death, he rarely brewed it himself, and there were very few people who were qualified to drink it.
Xiao Lira is an extremely smart person, and immediately understood the meaning of the Han King's wooing, he has no intention of refusing, of course, he can't refuse, now as a captive, the result of refusal is death, if this is not clear, what should be the king of the Southern Courtyard of Western Liao.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, King Han said with a smile: "I don't know what Mr. thinks of this drunken dream and death wine?" ”
"There is no match in the world, which makes people feel like they want to be drunk and dream of death, but unfortunately this wine is not available in Xiliao, and there is no chance to taste it again in the future."
"The recipe for drunken dreams and death wine, I have written it down and sent it to Mr. Yu."
Xiao Lira knew that being polite to the King of Han was false, so he laughed and accepted, he said with a smile: "Although he is a foreign minister, the foreign minister is willing to fight for His Majesty in the south and the north and annihilate the Jin Kingdom." ”
"After the annihilation of the Jin Kingdom, I don't know what Mr. plans are?" King Han didn't care much when he said it, but the wisdom in his eyes contained a lot of meaning.
In the end, he still felt that it was better to say it, so he said: "The family members are all in Xiliao, and the ministers still have to go back, but before that, the ministers will definitely wrap the body of His Majesty the King of Han and gallop on the battlefield." ”
"The king of the Southern Courtyard, it is already a noble moment, but once a son of heaven and a courtier, you have offended Yelu Yilie, once this crown prince with a fiery nature ascends the throne, you may be able to protect yourself, but what about your descendants? Uprooting is not out of the question. ”
"This, this."
Xiao Lira was really talked about by the King of Han, which is why he tried his best to use Yelu Dashi's young son, but this time the Eastern Crusade failed, and he was destined to bear the black cauldron, and there was no possibility of interfering with the crown prince in the future. If Yelu Yilie returns, he will inherit the throne 100%, and many things are not under his control.
King Han said unhurriedly: "I heard Yelu Pu say that the Western world is very big, and it is big, and it is far larger than the Central Plains. You must know that it can still accommodate the existence of Jin, Han, Song, Dali, Tubo and Western Xia. As for Western Liao, after all, the population is sparse and can't control such a large territory. ”
"Minister, I am willing to be loyal to Your Majesty for the rest of my life, if I break my oath, I will cut off my children and grandchildren."
If at this time, if he still can't think of what is going on, Xiao Hu Lira will not be able to mix up the position of the king of the Southern Courtyard of Western Liao, he immediately understands that the King of Han is not optimistic about Yelu Yilie, and has the intention of meddling in Western Liao, it is obvious that Yelu Pu Suwan and himself are the best spokespersons, as for being able to do that, he can't guess for the time being.
It doesn't matter to Xiao Weili if he guesses it or not, the most important thing for him is that as long as he is loyal to King Han, he will definitely be able to get what he wants.
King Han lightly drew his hand on the table and said: "Perhaps, it would be better if Xiliao was divided into two, and the north and south would be separated, you, the king of the Southern Courtyard, could really be regarded as the king of the Southern Courtyard, I don't know if this is satisfactory?" ”
"Thank you, Lord Long."
The king of Han didn't go around in circles, so he told his plan, and finally he said: "The army of the Great Han will return to the west to make sure that when the Western Liao is divided into two, your piece will not be swallowed up by the Yelu family." You are the king of the Xi people in Western Liao, and Yelu Pusuwan is the king of Khitan in Western Liao, and they do not rule each other. ”
Xiao Lili finally understood that Yelu Yilie would not survive for long even if he went back, which could be regarded as helping him relieve his worries. Of course, he also knew that the division of Western Liao into north and south was a mutual constraint to ensure that no one could break away from the rule of the Han Dynasty, and of course he also knew the relationship between Yelu Pu and the king of Han, but how could he ensure that this relationship could continue? ?
Seeing Xiao Weili hesitating, King Han said with a smile: "If there is anything, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush, I am an enlightened person, I can put forward any ideas and requirements." ”
King Han's tone was very affectionate, but it was an invisible pressure for Xiao Lira, and this pressure almost overwhelmed him, where was the whole person stupid, he didn't know what to say for a while, to be exact, he didn't think about what to say at all, but in the face of King Han's questioning, how could he not answer?
