Chapter 522: Besides, Thoughts
Hassan and the previous saint blushed a little at the same time, they were the masters of the locals, and the news was not as good as that of this outsider, which was also a bit unspeakable.
"Jin Yiwei is really powerful, I didn't expect there to be your people here." The inaugural saintess snorted coldly.
"That is, as long as there are people, there will be our brocade guards." Besides, I have to say a word.
He deliberately talked nonsense, and now he must not let people find out about his relationship with the Salt Gang, although this matter must be known sooner or later, but the later it is known, the better.
Knowing that the sound of horses' hooves in the distance came from the Warat and Uliangha tribes, and that his tense heart was completely relaxed, it showed that the overall situation was in his hands and not out of control. What he feared most was that the situation would get completely out of control and start an all-out war with the Tatars at this time.
"By the way, there are still cavalry of these two clans here, should you take some measures, otherwise they will come together when the time comes, and you people are really not enough for others to eat." Besides, half-joking.
Hearing this, Hassan was shocked that this crisis did exist.
The Warat and Uliangha tribes that have arrived each have a team of 1,000 people, and they are all elite soldiers, and when the armies of these two tribes arrive, they will inevitably form a situation of internal and external attack, 22,000 people against 6,000 people, how to fight this battle? I can't fight.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, why don't we kill the two thousand-strong teams here first." Hassan asked the third lady for instructions.
"No, the people of Warat and Uliangha are not clear, so we should not strike first." The third lady said calmly.
Hassan nodded, indeed, if he killed these two thousand-man teams now, it would be tantamount to openly starting a war with Waraji and Uliangha, and he really couldn't afford this responsibility.
However, if the situation does change, once the two clans join forces to deal with them, it will be impossible to kill these two thousand people at that time.
Although the two thousand people are only one-third of them, if they really want to be killed, even if all the six thousand people go into battle, it will not be able to be taken in a moment and a half, and it is really hard to say whether they can be solved before the arrival of the armies of the two clans. It's too risky, to gamble, or not to gamble?
"Well, send someone to watch them and watch their movements." The incumbent saint interjected.
Hassan was a little embarrassed, if it would take 6,000 people to solve the problem of these 2,000 people, then it would take at least 3,000 people to see these 2,000 people, and the other 3,000 people would have to protect the princess with all their might, that is, when the armies of the two clans arrived, he could only step forward to deal with it alone.
"Well, there aren't enough troops, right? Lord Hassan. I ask Her Highness to withdraw to my camp, it is safer than outside. Besides, he laughed.
Hassan hesitated a little, and said, "Princess, why don't you go down with His Highness Qincha." ”
The third lady shook her head and said: "No, I said, we are responsible for protecting them, there is no reason to increase the burden on them, even if I die here, I will not steal my life." ”
Besides, he was in a hurry, and hurriedly confessed: "I said sister-in-law, what are you talking about, why do you come to me to sit and sit, just steal your life?" We're a family, so why talk about two families. ”
At this time, even the previous saintess of the White Lotus Sect stopped talking, and she couldn't make up her mind whether to persuade the third lady to go there, and besides, her words were not unreasonable.
Warat and Uliangha had coveted the status of the king of Altan for a long time, and both tribes were unwilling to bow down to the king of Alta, and now they are only superficially subservient, and various means have emerged one after another, both openly and secretly. The king of Alta was very jealous of them, but he did not have the energy to spare his hands to deal with these two powerful clans.
Now Hassan and the previous saint are beating drums in their hearts, whether it is safe for the three ladies to stay outside, they dare not make this bet, if the three ladies are really taken hostage by Wara and Uliangha, then the situation is very bad, and it is completely impossible for the king of Alta to let go of these two clans, I am afraid that he can only be forced to agree to some humiliating conditions.
It is not known how the king of Altan and the little prince will punish them.
The third lady smiled: "Besides, I know your kindness, but I really can't hide from you, this is unacceptable to my self-esteem." ”
Besides, he smiled helplessly, so he turned back to Ji Changdao; "Ji Chang, immediately drop three thousand people to protect the princess."
Ji Chang listened to it and immediately asked people to convey the order.
Hassan was relieved and bowed to the situation.
If you don't consider the safety of the third lady, even if he is at a complete disadvantage, he is not afraid of a battle at all, which is the true nature of a warrior.
The third lady smiled bitterly: "Besides, I really don't need your people to protect me." ”
Besides, after looking her up and down for a while, the third lady's personality actually had such a strong side, he really didn't see it, and he couldn't help but praise it secretly in his heart.
"What do you see, don't you know?" The third lady was a little shy by him, and stomped her feet.
"Yes, but we have to get to know each other again." Besides, he laughed.
"Shibei was impressed for three days?" The inaugural saint also said with a smile.
"Indeed, the princess and sister-in-law really impress me." Besides, he smiled.
The third lady was a little unnatural by his laughter, and she didn't know what he meant, but she always felt that this minister was a little improper, and her tone was smooth, if others dared to talk to her like this, she would have asked Hassan to cut people, but she couldn't do that.
Somehow, the third lady not only didn't hate the oily tone, but also liked his tone a little, and felt a little shy about it. The third lady secretly blamed herself for this mentality, worried that she would be seen through if she accidentally exposed it.
After a short time, the Chinese army escorted 3,000 people across the drawbridge to come to the place, and ordered them to set up defenses around the tent of the third lady, and these 3,000 men also brought 200 birds, 100 guns, and 500 strong bows and crossbows.
This is also the inaccuracy of the order transmission, after Sun Hu heard Ji Chang's transmission, he thought that he wanted to set up a camp outside, so he sent the Chinese army over.
"Keep an eye on those two troops, and if the situation changes, kill those two thousand people first." Besides, he whispered to Ji Chang.
The place he pointed to was the two thousand men of Warat and Uliangha.
"Yes!" Ji Chang responded.
"If there is really going to be war, immediately invite Her Royal Highness the princess to our camp." And one more indication.
"Yes!"
Besides, now he only has the safety of Princess Sanniangzi in his heart, he doesn't care whether other people are dead or alive, as for the 20,000 troops sent by Wara and Uliangha, he doesn't care very much, if he fights a defensive war, he can completely keep these 20,000 people out of the trench. He had plenty of time to wait for the arrival of reinforcements from outside the gates.
"Will these two clans send people over just to participate in the auction of His Highness Qincha?" The previous saint said suddenly.
"Going to an auction? No way. The third lady was stunned.
"Twenty thousand elite soldiers to be sent to the auction? Are they going to the auction or are they trying to rob? Besides, he didn't agree with this opinion, but he faintly felt in his heart that the words of the previous saint were not unreasonable.
Moreover, the basic judgment is that it is unlikely that these two clans will openly argue with the king of Alta now, and it is a bit similar to coming at him, but he can't say that, let alone admit that he is a disaster star.
Now while the two sides have doubts about each other, what he has to do is to make this doubt bigger and more solid, it is better to find a way to make the two sides tear their faces apart, if the king of Altan is caught in a civil war with Warat and Uliangha, then the so-called autumn offensive will automatically collapse.
Therefore, he wanted to kill the two thousand-man teams of Warat and Uliangha now, causing a fait accompli, but unfortunately he couldn't do it, neither Hassan nor the Three Ladies would allow him to do this, if he insisted on doing this, it would be to tear his face with the Tatars.
By this time, Hassan had placed six thousand men in front to form a strong defensive line.
Of course, the so-called fortification is also relatively speaking, if the 20,000 men sent by Warat and Uliangha really want to attack, this line of defense will definitely be breached, and the cavalry of Warat and Uliangha will not be under the Tatars. But that's all Hassan can do now.
He was tempted to ask for another five thousand men to lend him so that he could form an impregnable line of defense, but he knew that Her Royal Highness would never agree, and he could not accept it.
At this time, the people of these large and small tribes outside, as well as those masters of the rivers and lakes, listened to the terrifying sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, and they were all in panic, and they all approached the core area, gathering around the three thousand guards, and their intention was naturally to use the protection of the situation.
Besides, he glanced at them and didn't speak, these people have little hope of surviving in the upcoming war, only those masters of the rivers and lakes may have a chance to break through the chaos, and the probability is only half.
However, he did not have the idea of bringing them into the camp for protection, he was not afraid that the people of those large and small tribes had any different intentions, but the characters in the rivers and lakes could not be unguarded, although they were also Han Chinese, but they had fled outside the gate, and the hearts of the people were already difficult to guess.
"Your Highness Qincha, are you going to fight?" A master of the rivers and lakes came over and asked.
"Possibly, but don't be afraid, our guards will protect you." Besides, he smiled and comforted.
Of course, this is a lie, according to the mind of the matter, as soon as Vara Uryanha engages the Tatar cavalry, he will immediately send someone to deal with the two thousand troops, and then protect the three ladies to retreat into the camp, and the people outside have nothing to do with him.
But he also had another consideration, if the men and horses of Warat and Uliangha really only came to participate in the auction, and the arrival of the soldiers was just a deterrent, not an attempt to start a war, then how should he deal with the situation, should the two sides really fight, or should they brake quietly?
The best way is to strike first and kill the two thousand-strong troops, which will anger the army of Warat and Uliangha, and they will inevitably not be able to suppress themselves, so they will go to war, but unfortunately this matter must be urgent, it must be natural and natural, otherwise it will be self-defeating, and they will fall into passivity.
"My lord, can we hide in your camp?" A tribal leader came over and pleaded.
"You don't have to panic, it's just a guess now, I don't know what the army that comes means, this battle may not be able to start, if it really starts, I will think of protecting you." Besides, with some lies, I sold it first.
"Thank you, then, sir." The leader bowed and stepped back.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves like a torrential rain was getting closer and closer, and the dust in the distance was already faintly visible, and a chill could not help but rise in everyone's hearts, and many people were already chanting Buddha and praying.
