Chapter 317: Sending Elites
Ashina Desire Valley only received the battle situation from Xuanchi's side a few days later, and he was shocked. There are 500 strong men and horses in the secret department of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info, and only one person came back in this conflict, and he was still wounded. It seems that if the other party hadn't intentionally let him escape back, it would have been estimated that this person would have been lying there.
In particular, he heard that what appeared in the Xuanchi Huangcaobo area was only a small group of herdsmen with only 300 people in the Tang Dynasty, and he was furious, scolding these people for bullying people too much, and scolding the 500 people and horses of the dead department of the secret department for being rice buckets.
Five hundred against three hundred, on their own ground, a blink of an eye makes people fight a ...... There was one left, and he heard that the other party not only won all, but also ...... It seems that there is no casualty, how can this matter be said with the face!
At the end of last year, he sent an envoy to Xizhou to communicate with the Tang Dynasty, and when the envoy came back, he also counted the good intentions of the governor of Xizhou and himself. Unexpectedly, after more than half a year, the people of Xizhou have already come to their doorstep!
Although the small group of 300 herdsmen in Xizhou took advantage, they did not take them too seriously in the heart of Ashina Desire Valley, the sea is vast, and 300 people are not enough to blow the wind.
But he didn't know if these people had come running to find trouble for no reason, or if they were just a group of lost people who had driven their horses away from their headquarters.
Hopefully this isn't a matter of Heida's provocation.
A few days ago, the Heida, who had gone to the Yibi Lu Department alone from the Jieli Department to take refuge, informed him of the establishment of a pasture in the Baiyang River in Xizhou. As soon as Ashina Desire Valley heard the news, he felt an extremely difficult to suppress loss in his heart.
I think that at the beginning, his uncle Lu Khan was in the north court and had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, who dared to provoke him for no reason. At that time, the hometown of Dulu was bounded by the periphery of Yizhou in the east, Atami in the west, Shule in the south, and Hanhai in the north. Tiele, Qiuzi and the Hu Kingdom of the Western Regions came to join one after another, what a majestic it was.
If it weren't for the old age of his uncle, the mutiny within Dulu, and the endless competition between his cousin and himself for the position of a khan, how could he let Datang sit and reap the benefits. And how about now? Ashina, the cousin who was competing with him for the throne at the beginning, hugged his 10,000 soldiers and horses, and did not dare to move in Futu City, looking at Xizhou's eyes.
At that time, Ashina Thin Cloth insisted that Lu Khan was his father, and he had to grasp what orthodoxy was. With his kind of vision, how can he let the Lu Department carry forward? If he didn't spy on the sweat position at that time, and only felt at ease to be his Ye Protector, and smoothly handed over the sweat position to himself, then where would there be a rout in the Lu Division!
Since the sixteenth year of Zhenguan and Guo Xiaoke's army fought in Beiting, the land department was defeated, and the former strength disappeared so easily.
He had to lead the remnants to withdraw to the west of Alashankou to develop another way, they broke through the rice country, forcibly occupied Xiaye, Ili and other places, and slowly gained a firm foothold between the Xiaye River and the Ili River basin.
But this is not to say that he has forgotten the old place, and he dreams of returning to it.
His cousin Ashina's only contribution to the Continent is to occupy Futu Castle alive. Somehow, after pacifying Gaochang, the Tang Dynasty has been ignoring Futu City and the Baiyang River area to the west.
In order to make a long-term plan for the land department, he reconciled with Xizhou on the one hand and maintained a superficial harmony, and on the other hand, he actively cultivated his own forces in the area of the Baiyang River, thinking that he would return to Beiting one day.
He had extended his sphere of influence to the north, reaching the area of Xuanchi. Cautiously on this side of the Alashan Pass, across the mountain from the Poplar River, quietly consolidated his power.
However, an uprising he instigated there in the first month of the year was easily thwarted by Guo Xiaoke.
However, Xizhou still did not garrison troops at the Poplar River after his victory, and he was secretly happy for a while after receiving the news. If the Poplar River had become a three-way area, then there would be hope that his Ebiru land would have infiltrated back there.
But the news of the completion of the Poplar Ranch undoubtedly gave Ashina Desire Valley a blow to the head, which was even more hateful than Datang's direct garrison there. There is no doubt that this ranch will be more popular with the locals, and after a long time, what is he still tossing!
Heida, who came from the Jieli Department, has to say that in a short period of time, he has become his right-hand man. He quickly subdued a large number of opponents with his bravery, and with an iron rod in his hand, he was able to swing his horse and rush out of the crowd.
What made him appreciate even more was that this Heida's gaze not only crossed the Poplar River to reach his Jieli hometown, but also seemed to be very loyal to himself. A few days ago, he agreed to Heida's suggestion to go to the Baiyang River to test the situation to see how Datang reacted.
This timing was well seized, because the Tang Dynasty was using troops against Goryeo, so they would at least take a defensive position in the west. He guessed that even if his side did something a little out of line, it would not attract large-scale retaliation from Xizhou.
He strictly controlled the scale of Heida's harassment in the Poplar River, which could not be painful or itchy, and he could not make the other party nervous all of a sudden. Heida did a good job, and after a few shots, he was ready to put an end to it and see how Xizhou reacted.
If Xizhou doesn't react, or if he doesn't react strongly, then he will make another big move, and the goal is to make it unstable.
Who knows, the martyrdom of the five hundred sons of the secret department happened at such a juncture. The opponent is not the soldiers and horses of Xizhou, but the three hundred people of the Tianshan herd.
The poplar herd has not yet come, but a Tianshan herd has appeared.
At present, he does not know what the relationship between Tianshan Mu and Poplar Mu is, he hopes that it is just an accidental incident and has nothing to do with Poplar Mu. He had sent a strongly-worded letter to Xizhou, one to explore the attitude of Xizhou, and the other to make a gesture of victimhood.
At the same time, he ordered Heida, who was on the side of Alashankou, to set aside a force to exterminate this small group of hateful Tang herdsmen. Since it is oneself that has been victimized, it is just to collect blood debts.
Perhaps, this is an opportunity to justifiably show the power of the Ebi-R land department to the western state.
Heida was really obedient, and immediately drew 1,200 men from the headquarters and went north. Heda reported that all the men he sent out were elite, including six hundred archers and six hundred swordmen.
So far, this capable squad has not tasted defeat and has been the winner in several battles. Heda said that they had faced a thousand heavily armed Tocharian cavalry that had fled from the west and had defeated them.
To let such a thousand and two hundred people deal with that group of unknown 300 rabble, in his opinion, it is a bit overkill, but this is exactly what Ashina wants to do. Revenge is reciprocal, you have annihilated all my people, I will get it back.
He hadn't waited for Xizhou to reply, so he didn't know where these three hundred people came from and what their intentions were, but he was waiting for good news. (To be continued.) )
