Chapter 33: Dereliction of duty due to hatred

Dawning waning moon. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The tall Kunlun Mountains obscured half the sky.

Although it is only August, the cold air under Kunlun Mountain is already very thick, the Western Regions are dry, and there is rarely cold fog gathering, but this is not the case under Kunlun Mountain.

It is densely wooded, ranging from broad-leaved forests to coniferous forests to shrubs.

Kill lakes full of large and small. If you only talk about the number of lakes, even the water network is criss-crossed in the south of the Great Song River, and it is not as much as the Western Regions.

The cold mist on the surface of the lake was sent to the shore by the mountain wind, soaking Ah Da's armor, Ah Da was sleeping, but Ah Er's eyes were wide open, and the advantages of two heads were vividly expressed.

The fire in front of him burned vigorously, and the orange-red flames were very bright in the dark night before dawn.

Under the broad-leaved forest behind Ah Da, there were strict soldiers wrapped in sleeping bags, and not far away, the war horses were uneasily digging the ground with their hooves, and the roaring of wild beasts from time to time in the woods gave them great coercion.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Ah Da opened a pair of scarlet eyes, but he didn't stand up immediately, let alone grab the horse chopping knife beside him.

Ah Er had already told him that it was Tie 300, the scout general, who came.

There were also a few grilled fish on the side of the fire, slightly steaming, and the cold Tie 300 came to the edge of the fire, took a fish in three or two bites and ate it cleanly, and took another one to continue eating.

Ah Da silently handed over the warm wine beside him, Tie Sanbai took a big sip, and swallowed the fish meat with great effort to Ah Dao: "Mu Xin gave up the Khotanese state, and only issued the so-called oracle, let the governor of Khotan, Yu Supu, lead the Khotanese army to hunt us down, and also issued a reward order, stating that if you kill one of my Hami army, you will be rewarded with two gold coins." ”

Ah Da frowned and said, "The purpose of our battle is actually to delay Mu Xin and give the king more time to prepare.

If he is gone, we will not be of much use even if we take Khotan.

The national policy of Hami is to strive to develop the essence of the zone, and to be bound all around, and sooner or later Khotan will be restrained, and now, I Hami is not ready, and it is useless to take Khotan.

In addition, I would like to know why Yu Chilei went on a killing spree in Tavo City, I just wanted him to finish it, and I didn't want him to slaughter! ”

Tie 300 stretched out his hand and said on fire: "I know about this matter, Tavo City used to be the fief of Wei Chilei's branch.

When the city was broken forty years ago, Wei Chilei was only an eight-year-old child, which was chilling.

When the city was broken, it was not the Qarakhanid people who killed the Yuchilei people the most, but their former tribes in Tawo City.

Yu Chilei was cleaning up the battlefield well, but somehow, he went crazy, not only him, but also the veterans of the Khotanese royal family who followed him, and they killed the family of the lord of Tavo City.

As a result, at the beginning of the massacre, there was no way to end it, and finally it spread to the whole city, and there was no way to avoid the massacre at this time. ”

Ah Da frowned and said: "He should have seen his former enemy, but did he know that he had violated the military order?"

Can't my strict military orders make him suppress the hatred in his heart a little? ”

Tie Sanbai raised his head and looked at Ah Dadao: "Does the general want to kill Wei Chi Lei and strictly enforce military discipline?" ”

Ah Da said angrily: "It was because of his massacre that the intentions of our army were exposed, and Mu Xin was alerted and understood that we can't take Khotan now no matter what, so he left Khotan ahead of schedule, and Wei Chilei's crime is unforgivable!"

When will Yu Chilei come to Dongshan to join us? ”

Tie Sanbai looked at the already white Tianbian and said: "Tomorrow at noon, he will be bitten very tightly by Yu Supu, and he will have to fight at least one battle to get out." ”

Ah Da sighed and said: "When he comes back, he will confiscate his military power, as for how to deal with it, leave it to the king to worry, if I kill the general without authorization, it will make it difficult for the king to do." ”

Tie Sanbai nodded and said: "That's fine, Wei Chilei came to Khotan, the purpose is to incite the people of Khotan to rebel, and now this purpose cannot be accomplished."

He killed tens of thousands of people in Tavo, and no one in Khotanese believed that he would treat the people of Khotan. ”

Ah Da frowned and said: "Yu Chi Lei is old, he has experienced the tragedy of the destruction of the Khotanese country, some things can't be forgotten normal, if it is Yu Chiwen, or Wei Chi Zhuozhuo, such a thing will not happen." ”

Tie Sanbai also sighed and said: "They are all old friends for many years, I really don't want to see him make mistakes, since the matter has happened, I will send him back to Hami with a car, and how to send it depends on the king, this is the only thing we can do for these old friends." ”

Ah Da slapped his thigh heavily and said: "Hami military discipline has always been unkind, even if Yu Chi Lei returns to Hami, there is no good fruit to eat, in this case, we might as well help Lao Lei for the last time, eat Yu Supu in the end of the river, since he wants to take revenge, he will take revenge completely." ”

Tie Sanbai stood up and said, "The general means that we no longer hide our strength?" Directly chasing Musin? Also give up on Khotan? ”

Ah Da said lightly: "Khotan is not even a chicken rib for Hami now, getting rid of Yu Supu is just taking advantage of the trend, and dragging down Mu Xin's eastward pace is the most important thing."

Judging by the news from the king, the situation is extremely unfavorable for my Hami, the Khitans have defeated Goryeo, and the army will return soon.

The Khitans have been fighting for many years, and the national strength is poor, even if they receive tribute from the Goryeo, they are powerless to change the status quo.

The Tangut people were also extremely uneasy about the Great Song Dynasty's occupation of Hehuang, and they were even more worried that we, Hami, would form an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty to jointly crusade against the Western Xia.

In fact, it is a sure fact that my Hami and the Great Song Dynasty have formed an alliance, and if he wants to break the deadlock, he will naturally take my Hami first, and only by destroying Hami can he have the strength to face the advance of the Great Song Dynasty.

These things are likely to happen in three or two years, and at worst, at the same time.

Therefore, the king will order an attack on Musin before we are ready, and use the attack to train his soldiers, so as to achieve the goal of eliminating Musin in priority.

It's a race against time. ”

Tie Sanbai let out a cold breath and said with a smile: "The one who should come will always come, and the battle is enough, but ah, the general wants to help Lao Lei kill Yu Supu, we must feel the end of the river before noon, I will send someone to inform Lao Lei and strive to solve Yu Supu in a battle."

He always follows us and hates us like a fly. ”

The sky was bright, the soldiers got up one after another, and soon, the Dongshan was full of fires, and they slept in the cold fog last night, although they had sleeping bags to keep warm, their heads and faces were very cold.

One by one, rubbing their cheeks and roasting the fire, waiting for the men to bring breakfast, some of the guys who felt hungry and unbearable, took out the jerky that they were reluctant to eat on weekdays, sent that one to roast on the fire, and then ate a little bite, and then quickly put it away.

After breakfast, the army left Dongshan in full gear and marched eastward, the time must be controlled, and the news came from Wei Chilei that he and the army of Yu Supu, the governor of Khotan, would meet at noon.

There are only 2,000 cavalry in the hands of Yu Chilei, and it is these 2,000 cavalry who participated in the slaughter of the city.

If they can't get rid of the pursuing soldiers, Wei Chilei's 2,000 cavalry is likely to be besieged by more than 30,000 people led by Yu Supu, and finally hate Khotan.

Wei Chilei was very sad, the reason why he fell into the current situation is completely his own fault, if he did not slaughter the city, his army would leave Tavo City a day earlier, and no one could catch up with them when the cavalry was rushing with all their might.

However, he did not regret it, if he turned back time, he would still choose to do that, or even more thoroughly.

The war between Khotan and the Qarakhanid has been going on for hundreds of years, with casualties and enemies in between.

Knowing that the other party is an enemy, then he is mentally prepared for what the enemy will do to you after defeat, and if the victor is Khotan, he will not be polite to the people of the Qarakhanid.

What happens to the enemy, no matter how appalling, is within the scope of understanding.

What made Yu Chilei unbearable was the betrayal of the house slave.

He still vividly remembers how those crazy house slaves treated their former masters when Tavo City was breached.

Yu Chilei remembered how his mother, the graceful woman with skillful hands, had been stoned to death by the house slaves.

He remembered even more how his elegant father, the man whose painting skills had reached the realm of the unity of heaven and man, was beaten by the slaves and finally thrown into the burning fire.

The elegant mother is dead, the elegant father is dead, the faithful housekeeper is dead, and the steward who betrayed the master and killed the master is alive and well, and he is still childish when he is over eighty!

The moment he saw the old slave, all of Yu Chilei's sanity disappeared, and he didn't even know how he raised the long knife.

When he came to his senses, Tavo City was already full of smoke and corpses, knowing that this was inappropriate, but Yu Chilei felt extremely happy.

The army had already eaten a full meal, and quietly stayed by the Tho Mo River to wait for the scouts to report to the position of the Yusupu vanguard army.

Once Yusupu's vanguard army came within thirty miles, the army would meet head-on.

To teach Yu Supu an unforgettable lesson on this plain, this time, Yu Chilei intends to use gunpowder shells and fierce fire oil.

Rahman kept galloping in front of the army with a big bow on his back, constantly cheering for the soldiers loudly.

The roar of the soldiers was deafening, and the fighting spirit was high.

Wei Chilei suddenly felt that he was not a qualified general, and if he could die in this war, it might be the happiest thing, right? (To be continued.) )
