Chapter 576: The Beginning of Peace Talks
When he returned, Turgan was still sulking. So he deliberately distanced himself from Tutulakra to express his dissatisfaction. Tutulak didn't mind, his face was cold, but he was very happy that Turgan was still alive.
And in Cheldan, the first batch of Khorasan cavalry had already arrived at the city of Cheldan. This is an important gateway to Liangzhou! It is bordered by Longshou Mountain in the north, Yanzhi Mountain in the east, and Qilian Mountain in the south. The hills are undulating, and the ravines are vertical and horizontal. Due to the flow of the Chotan River, there are still small alluvial plains to the east and south.
Today's Chelan City was built in the Yanzhi Valley and is a necessary place to go to Liangzhou. When the Khorasan cavalry arrived, the gates were closed, as if they were being guarded to the death.
Manaturi is the main striker of this siege! Through the war horses captured from the Xia people, a usable cavalry was finally put together. According to the usual practice, he still let people persuade him to surrender under the city first. Unexpectedly, the defenders at the head of the city were quite tough.
not only spat at the city, but also scolded: "The western thief Hugh is going to be rampant!" This city is guarded by your grandfather, and it is so impregnable that even a fly wants to fly in. ”。 Mi Bao Rong is the brave general of the Eight Mi Bao Clan, and this time the Xia State counterattacked, and their Mi Tu Department was also among the troops.
It's just that he's too blind and optimistic! Thinking that there was a strong city to hold, Khorasan would have nothing to do with them. Manaturi also thought it was ridiculous, so he had the artillery thrown out and bombarded the city.
Mi Baorong, who was still very arrogant just now, immediately ran down the city like a frightened rabbit and quickly ran down the city to a safe place to hide. Manatuli then sent the soldiers to the city gate and stuffed a large chest of gunpowder under the gate.
Boom!
The gates were blown to pieces!
The Khorasan army rushed in again, and the Xia army fled elsewhere like a rabble, crying for his father and mother. Mi Rong is preparing to go out of the city to follow in the footsteps of Wo Ke Yeli! After all, when Wokono Lisi went, he only let him hold Khorasan for a moment.
Now that the artillery is sharp, he can't hold it. So retreat, he is not afraid of Wo Keyeli's severe punishment.
But the Khorasan cavalry was incredibly fast enough to storm the city of Chodan, so that he did not have time to escape. He didn't bring any gold or silver, and only let his own soldiers protect him and go quickly. It was also the original stay to defend the city, and what was important was the property in the city. Now that my life is about to be saved, I can only give up.
It's a pity he's still slow! As soon as they came out of the county office, the Khorasan cavalry outside had already arrived. There is no need to say anything, the two sides directly swing their knives and slash. After a burst of people turned on their horses, the cavalry of Khorasan became more and more. And the pro-soldiers around Mi Rongchen are killing less and less.
"Do you dare to report your name?" , Manaturi cut off the head of a Xia Jun and shouted at Mi Zhurong.
"Why don't you dare! Remember, your grandfather's name is Mi Rong. Even if he is dying, Mi Zhurong is still sharp-toothed. Manatuli didn't say much, and went straight to Mi Zhurong.
Bell ······ Manatuli slashed horizontally, and Mi Zhu Rong raised his gun and lunch.
"Huh! And the strength of the stocks! Manaturi's broadsword slid backwards along the hilt of the spear, and immediately cut a bloody wound on the horse's back. Under the pain, the war horse suddenly stood up. Mi Baorong was caught off guard and fell off the horse in an instant.
Manaturi draws an arrow from his back basket! He didn't take a bow either, and threw it towards Mi Rong, who had not yet gotten up on the ground.
Poof! The arrow hit the back of the head. The city of Delete Dan was also completely conquered by Khorasan.
Subsequently, the Khorasan army entrenched itself in Chodan, and at the same time sent a small force of troops and horses to raid the borders of Liangzhou. For a while, the people of Liangzhou exclaimed that the western thieves were powerful and fled to the east.
The news here has attracted the attention of all parties in the Xia Kingdom! So the Zhongxing Mansion also quickly got the news. Knowing that the Xia army was defeated, Li An'an specially sent an envoy to Liangzhou to reprimand Li Zunwei, blaming him for protecting the country.
At the same time, an envoy was sent to Ganzhou to prepare for real negotiations with Khorasan. Because of the defeat of the Xia army this time, the high-level of the Xia State completely realized the power of Khorasan. Therefore, the main battle faction, which had a tough attitude before, became dumb in the court, and no longer said anything to fight with Khorasan.
As a result, the morale of the lord and faction was greatly boosted, and the court was full of words of surrender to Khorasan as a tribute.
Luo Shichang was the new envoy to Khorasan this time. Since receiving the appointment, he has set off non-stop. After Yingli City, you can see the withering of people's livelihood. When I arrived in Liangzhou, I was even more yellow and thin along the way, and the fleeing people with their families and mouths.
When he entered Liangzhou City, he first met Li Zunwei, the king of Qi. The latter, because of the defeat, complained of illness and did not want to see visitors. Luo Shichang went to find Wo Ke Yeli, so that he could get some news about Khorasan through the other party's mouth.
It's a pity that Wo Ke Yeli only knows some well-known news, and he has a deeper understanding, but he doesn't.
Luo Shichang didn't take much, and rushed to Delete Dancheng overnight.
On the way, they ran into the rangers of Khorasan. I saw that they were escorting a group of ordinary people in coarse clothes and shirts, as well as cattle and sheep and other domestic livestock.
Seeing that the other party rushed over with unkind eyes, the envoy and his party were all nervous. Luo Shichang hurriedly asked the guards not to act rashly, and at the same time ordered people to negotiate with the Khorasan cavalry.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are the envoys of the Xia Kingdom. These carriages are full of great gifts, which are for your lords. A deputy envoy of the Xia Kingdom said loudly.
The Khorasan cavalry did not slack off on their rhetoric. Just let everyone get out of the carriage and come out and stand in a row. In this regard, the envoys of the Xia Kingdom were all frightened. Although Luo Shichang was also uneasy in his heart, he still asked everyone to leave the carriage according to the orders of the Khorasan cavalry.
So the Khorasan cavalry did not embarrass them. They were only surrounded and had them checked in the wagon. After discovering that they are indeed relatively expensive gifts, not things on the side. He searched Luo Shichang and them one by one, and some guards dodged it, and they were immediately pulled out by the Khorasan cavalry and killed in front of everyone.
Knowing that their lives were at stake, Luo Shichang and others honestly accepted the search.
After finding that there was nothing unusual, the Xia army rangers led them to Delete Dan together. The general stationed here is still Manaturi. After he learned that Xia Guo had sent another envoy, he sent hundreds of additional people to 'guard' the envoy and rush to Ganzhou City.
As for the guards of the Xia Kingdom, they were all left behind in Delete Dan.
This move made the envoy of the Xia Kingdom even more uneasy. But Luo Shichang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Because Khorasan's actions are more likely to show that they have no worries about their lives. Otherwise, they would have been killed without having to defend themselves.
