Chapter 1164: Sima An vs Wuxu Tribe
The time went back to a few days ago, that is, after Babuhe and Urubatu, who had gone to the Qin army company camp in Hangu to ask for help, returned to Lu. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What did Qin Jun say? When will the reinforcement be sent? ”
After learning the news, Udamuzi, the eldest son of King Usu and the greatest ruler of the Usu royal court, summoned Babuhe and Ulubatu to the royal court felt tent and asked them about the results.
However, when he saw Babukh's depressed and disappointed expression, Udamuzzi had a bad premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, Ulubatu, the commander of the Yanjiao Army, shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The Qin army said that they will not send troops. ”
"No troops? No ...... of troops"
Udamuzi was stunned for a while, then muttered a few steps inside the felt tent. Suddenly, he suddenly raised his leg and kicked over a low desk, and roared angrily: "How can the Qin army not send troops?!" ”
Seeing this, the commander Urubatu immediately bowed his head, while Babukh stood in place at a loss.
Seeing his expression, Udamuqi scolded angrily: "Babu (abbreviation), this is the result of your support for that Qin Shaojun!" ”
"No, it's not." Babuhe retorted forcefully: "Qin Shaojun is a ...... who supports sending troops."
"What about the soldiers?!" Udamuqi scolded with a glare.
Babuhe lowered his head and said timidly: "Although His Royal Highness Shaojun strongly requested to send troops, the commander of the Qin army resolutely opposed ......"
Speaking of this, he finally lowered his head under the angry gaze of his eldest brother Udamuzchi.
At this time, Udamuqi's younger brother and Babuhe's brother Alhatu were also in the tent, and when he heard this, he interjected and said: "I have long said that these outsiders are unreliable after all, whether it is Wei Gongzirun or Qin Shaojun, they are all evil wolves who covet my Sanchuan...... A few days ago, Ji Run's fangs were finally revealed, right? Last time, that Sima An slaughtered a few tribes in my Sanchuan, and that guy kept saying that he would be severely punished after returning to China, but this time it was good, not only that Sima An, but even Bo Xile, who took refuge in Na Ji Run, began to loot and slaughter...... Hehe, I've been thinking about it for the past two days, since Wei Gongzi Ji Run has almost shown his fangs, that Qin Shaojun is almost the same, sure enough......"
Speaking of this, he glanced at Udamuqi and said with a smile: "In the words of the Central Plains, Ji Run's is called raising tigers, and Qin Shaojun's is called luring wolves into the house, and he prides himself on not inferior to his father's brother, you first appeased a tiger, and then attracted a vicious wolf, and now this tiger and a wolf are going to devour our lambs......"
Listening to Alhattu's words, Udamuqi's heart sank, don't look at him just scolding Babuhe, but in the final analysis, whether it was the original refusal of the Qiangjiao tribe patriarch Bitatu's request for help, or this time to defect to the Qin State, it was ultimately his decision.
If it weren't for his nod, even if Babuhe was close to the Qin State, he would not be able to determine the will of the entire Wusu tribe.
Of course, this does not mean that Udamuqi is willing to submit to the Qin state, he just wants to promote the war between Qin and Wei, and his Wuxu tribe fishes in troubled waters and reaps benefits.
But unfortunately, Wei Gongzi Ji Run's ruthless and domineering was beyond his expectations - he never expected that Wei Gongzi Ji Run actually had no intention of negotiating conditions with them at all, and declared war strongly.
It stands to reason that when the Wei State was in such a crisis, shouldn't it have co-opted all the forces that could be co-opted and concentrated its forces to deal with the Qin army?
Although it is still impossible to understand why that Wei Gongzi Ji Run made such a strong decision, there is no doubt that his decision-making was wrong, and he did not manage to balance between Qin and Wei.
The result of the failure of the strategy was quite severe, and the Wei state had already decided that his Wuxu tribe was a rebellion that must be eradicated, and the Qin army seemed to be unable to save him.
To make matters worse, his younger brother Alkhatu seems poised to take his place.
With a long breath, Udamuqi calmed down, turned his head to his younger brother Alhatu and said: "Al (abbreviation), you are right, we Sichuan people, in the end, are just on our own...... At present, only by working together can we defeat the Wei army. If you can't repel the Wei army and the royal court is gone, there will be no point in your dispute with me. ”
"......" Alhatu was stunned when he heard this, and then frowned and thought.
As Udamuqi expected, in fact, Arhatu had just thought of summoning the leader of the tribe and taking advantage of the God-given opportunity of his brother Udamuqi's major wrong decision to remove him from the position of the patriarch and replace him.
But at this moment, thinking carefully about the words of his brother Udamuzzi, Alhatu also feels that now is not the time to fight each other.
Thinking of this, Alhatu Zhengse said to Udamuqi: "Wuda (abbreviation), the cavalry of the Wei general Sima An and the traitor Bosil, will quickly kill the Lu clan, without the support of the Qin army, it will be difficult for my Wusu to resist...... Ask for help from the Gazelle tribes. ”
Hearing this, Udamuqi shook his head and said, "No, if our three tribes start a war with the Wei army in the Lu clan, it will only benefit the Qin army...... The Qin army garrisoned Hangu and stood still, which was nothing more than the idea of fighting for the profits of fishermen with sandpipers. …… How could it be as he wished? ”
"What then?" Alhatu asked with a frown.
Udamuzi thought for a moment and said, "Let's retreat west." ”
"To the west? The territory of the Xiang Karma tribe? Alhatu asked, confused.
"Hmm." Udamuqi nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The territory of the Qian tribe is not far from Hangu, and when the time comes, the Qin army will no longer be able to use all kinds of excuses to refuse to send troops to the Wei army......"
"What if the Qin army still refuses to send troops?"
"That ......"
Udamuqi let out a long breath, he originally wanted to say that then we would take refuge in the Wei army, but when he thought of the Wei army's strong declaration of war and ruthless slaughter, he muttered in his heart: If he defects to Wei at that time, will Ji Run still accept it?
In this regard, Udamuzzi has no confidence.
Thinking about it helplessly, he could only say: "Now, there is only one step at a time......
"Hmm." Alhatu nodded.
After deliberating and deciding, Udamuqi and Arhattu gathered the leaders of the tribe and instructed them to pack up the shape and prepare to move the tribe.
No one raised any objections, because in the past few days, more than one tribesman had begged to move the tribe elsewhere, after all, their Wuxu royal court was on the route of the Wei general Sima An and the Kajiao man Bosil, and no one dared to guarantee when the two butchers would lead their troops to Lu.
For the next two or three days, the Wusu tribe was busy packing up and evacuating westward.
However, on the third day, the object of their fear, the Wei general Sima An, arrived at the Lu clan.
"This is the Lu clan, and the tribe in the distance is the station of the Wusu tribe."
Standing on a dirt slope with Sima An, Bosil pointed to the tribal garrison in the distance and said to Sima An.
“……”
Sima An squinted his eyes and peeked at the Wuxu tribe from afar, and he found that the Wusu tribe was much more powerful than he expected.
Just looking at the tribal station in the distance, the scale of the land occupied is no less than that of a small county town.
"This doesn't look like a tribe in the West Mountains at sunset......" Sima An said with a slight frown.
Hearing this, Bosil was slightly stunned, and then explained: "That's because the general has never seen the Wusu tribe when it was strong, when the Wusu tribe was strong, the mother tribe had nearly 100,000 people, and there were more than a dozen sub-tribes, each tribe had about thousands of warriors...... And the Wusu tribe you see at this time, the Great General, is just a tribe with only about 20,000 or 30,000 people. Don't look at the other side, there seem to be a lot of people, they are all slaves. ”
When he said this, Bosil's face was a little disdainful, after all, when his stepfather Bitatu was still alive, there were 30,000 or 40,000 people in the Karma Horn tribe alone, and the entire Karma Horn Tribal Alliance had more than 100,000 people, not including the two or three hundred thousand slaves.
In front of the powerful Tribal Alliance of the Horns at that time, what was the Wusu tribe? It's just a "small tribe" that needs to be named.
"Even so......" Sima An frowned slightly, and then, with his right hand holding the horsewhip, he pointed in the direction of the Wusu tribe and asked, "What are they doing?" ”
Bossile looked carefully into the distance and chuckled, "It seems that he is preparing to evacuate this area...... General, if you want to attack, you have to attack as soon as possible, and don't let the Wusu people ......."
As soon as he said this, his voice stopped abruptly, because he saw that a large number of slaves armed with bamboo poles and wooden sticks poured out of the Wusu tribe in the distance, and the most famous guard of the Wusu tribe, the Yanjiao Army, also rode out on war horses, ready to resist the attack.
"It's been discovered." Boshel said in a somewhat regretful tone.
In this regard, Sima An was indifferent.
Although it was a good way to directly attack the Wusu tribe, in the final analysis, the team he led only had more than 6,000 cavalry, which was the same as the number of Yanjiao troops of the Wusu tribe.
With a similar number of troops, it was not a wise decision to make a long journey to reach them of the Lu clan to attack an energetic army.
What's more, the Wusu people still have tens of thousands of slave soldiers, and if they really fight, the Wei army will capsize in the gutter.
It was for this reason that Sima An ignored Bosilna's suggestion to attack the Wusu tribe, but just quietly looked at the Wusu tribe in the distance, and measured the approximate strength and number of people of this tribe.
At the same time, the news that the Wei cavalry had arrived at Lu quickly reached the ears of Udamuqi and Alhatu.
When he learned that this Wei cavalry, which had caused many massacres in Sanchuan, had finally arrived at the Lu clan, even if it was Udamuqi, he was inevitably a little panicked.
After all, as far as he knew, the Wei vanguard cavalry led by the Wei general Sima An had more than 52,000 people, which was almost twice the number of the Wusu tribe except for slaves, so it was conceivable that if this cavalry attacked the Wusu tribe, the Wusu tribe would face what kind of outcome it would face.
With a heart-pounding mood, Udamuzi hurried to the outside of the tribe with Alhattu, standing inside the improvised fence and peering at the dirt slope in the distance.
I saw that on the dirt slope in the distance, more than 100 knights stood on horses, and two flags that now made many Sichuan people tremble and waved in the wind.
On one side, the words "Dangshan Army" are written on it, while on the other side, a huge black sheep's head is depicted, and the black sheep's head has curved and sharp horns, which looks hideous and fierce - this is the banner of the Qiangjiao Army, which Gu Yigu, the patriarch of the Northern Sichuan Alliance, has just sent someone to Bosil a few days ago.
