Chapter 468: Comparing Whoever Is More Scoundrel

Not only was Wang Ping'an taken aback, but all the guards around him were shocked! 200,000 strings, what do you mean? 200,000 people coming? Then you don't have to defend the city, pack your luggage, and hurry up and run to Yumenguan!

Brother Yelu Jun hurriedly said: "It's not 200,000 Turkic soldiers, don't misunderstand, the control strings are not the same as the Turkic soldiers." ”

Before he could begin to explain, the scouts who came rushing wildly arrived at the post, and immediately took up their posts and ran to Wang Ping'an. These scouts panicked, went up the hill, and before they could get off their horses, they shouted a Turkic word at Wang Ping'an.

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "Don't worry, take a breath first, and speak slowly!" ”

The scouts jumped off their horses, gasped for a few breaths, and then told the enemy, their Central Plains dialect is not good, it can only be regarded as a slight understanding, and it is inevitable that it will be mixed with Turkic dialect when reporting, but fortunately, there is Yelu Jun'er interpreting by the side, Wang Ping'an can understand.

After the 3,000 pioneers led by Qu Zhimao, it was the headquarters of the Dayan Department that marched, which could almost be regarded as raising troops to attack, no old or weak, all of them were young and strong. However, the young man here does not refer to young men, but also young women.

In the court of the Tang Dynasty, when it comes to how big the Turkic Department is, it is often used to count the "account", and when it comes to attacking the people and horses, there will be "control strings" to count, and when the war really starts, it is the same as the government soldiers, saying how many Turkic soldiers there are.

The control of the strings refers to the Turkic people who can participate in battles. Turkic women are very different from Central Plains women, it cannot be said that everyone can shoot a strong bow, but eight out of ten young Turkic women can open a bow, which is not an exaggeration.

Fighting, too, does not specifically refer to hand-to-hand combat. On the contrary, the Turks, generally speaking, rarely fought with the enemy, but used cavalry to attack the enemy, attacking quickly and retreating quickly. In this way, it is very important whether the bow will be opened.

The Central Plains infantry charged, forming a phalanx, and the women definitely couldn't join the queue, the attack was not sharp enough, and they couldn't escape quickly. But the Turks are different, as long as they can ride fast horses and shoot bows and arrows, they are a warrior, they can fight with men and women, men fight in close quarters, and women attack the enemy from afar, and cooperate with each other!

Therefore, when the Turks went south to the Central Plains, they often frightened the border guards how powerful our tribe was and how much control it had. At first, this statement was quite scary, but later the border guards also understood that the so-called control of the strings turned out to be a woman going in, so it didn't matter. Of course, if the border guards beat the Turks away, when they record their war exploits, they will still regard Turkic women as real warriors, and selectively forget that they are women, so that the war exploits will be great!

But now it doesn't matter if Zheliu County is indifferent, the Dayan Department has come to control the strings with 200,000, which is too much, minus half, there are also 100,000 Turkic soldiers, and it is not a tired and hungry soldier like the Zheliu Turkic soldiers who are tired and hungry for half a winter, the two armies don't need to fight, the victory or defeat will be known!

After Wang Ping'an listened to the explanation, he was also so anxious that he jumped up and down, and he asked: "Have we Datang offended the Dayan Department, it seems that there is not, why are they raising troops to attack, is it possible to fight a decisive battle with my Datang?" ”

Ouyang Li also said: "That Khan King of the Dayan Department wants to pick up the banner and become a Turkic Khan himself, right?" ”

Wang Ping'an wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, shook his head and said: "No, if that Khan King wants to establish himself as a khan, then he should be in the Tang Dynasty, how can he lead troops to attack, isn't that equivalent to erecting two enemies at the same time." He offended both the Tang Dynasty and the Turkic Khan! ”

He waved his hand and said, "Probe again, be sure to find out the movements of the Dayan Division." ”

The scouts agreed in unison, took a few sips of water, and got back on their horses. One of the scouts mounted his horse and ran down the hill, and without going far, he turned his horse's head and ran back to the hill. The scout said to Wang Ping'an: "Ping'an Khan, if we go to visit the Yan Division, they will also send someone to visit us, you must be prepared!" ”

Wang Ping'an hummed, looked at the scout, and said, "Okay, I will be careful." By the way, what's your name? He looked at the Turkic soldier a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

The scout stroked his chest on his horse and saluted, "The villain's name is Kabazi, and Ping An Khan knows my father!" After saying that, he was laid off and left.

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "Kabazi? Who is he, and who is his daddy? For a moment, I didn't think about it.

Brother Yelujun usually got along with the Turkic soldiers a lot, and he whispered: "When he was in Ganzhou, his father followed his master to that town and killed Chigeba that night!" ”

"Oh, it's the two of them!" Wang Ping'an then remembered. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, he didn't remember who the Kabazi was, but it was just a little better for them at that time, and they firmly remembered the insignificant care for him, and he was willing to make great efforts at the critical moment.

He sighed and said, "It's not a way to stay here, let's go back to the city, get ready early, it is estimated that tomorrow the army of the Dayan Department will arrive at Zheliu." With the guards, I returned to Zheliu County.

At this time, the news of the enemy's attack had already spread, and the Zheliu Turkic soldiers quickly assembled in the county seat at a very fast speed. From the time the news came out to the present, it was only two hours, and more than 20,000 Zheliu Turkic soldiers rushed to the county seat.

If the enemy really attacks the city, I am afraid that the city wall will not be able to hold it, and in the end it will either be a street fight, or pull out of the city to go to the field, which is unavoidable!

Su Dingfang ordered the Turkic soldiers to cut down trees, make fences, and put them on the city wall as city defense tools, and temporarily made some rough horses and placed them outside the city. There are many people who are easy to do, and according to the speed at which they work, it is estimated that by the dawn of tomorrow, they will be able to do a good job of defending the city, but whether it has practical effect or not, then two words!

Wang Ping'an returned to the city, went directly to the fort, and went to meet Fang Xuanling and them to discuss how to resist the enemy.

Entered the hall in the castle, this hall is called the Treasure Hall, it is the place where the robbers sit on the ground and divide the dirt, Wang Ping'an feels that the name is not bad, so he did not change the name, the plaque has not been removed, and it is still hanging on the beam.

Fang Xuanling sat in the middle of the treasure hall, accompanied by Wang Wendu and Gu Lantian on both sides, but he didn't see You Xiujie, and he didn't know where he went.

Seeing Wang Ping'an coming back, Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "No disease, it must be hard to go out on a cold day to investigate the enemy." Come on, here's a good ginseng soup, you drink a bowl. He gestured to a small porcelain basin on the table.

Wang Ping'an saw that he was not in a hurry, his heart was a little calm, he found a seat and sat down, and said, "There is no need for ginseng soup." Lord Fang, the enemy who came was the Dayan Department, with Qu Zhimao as the vanguard, you already know about this matter, right? ”

Fang Xuanling hummed and said, "A scout has come to report." The city defense hasn't been done yet, right? If it's too late, then don't get it. He saw that Wang Ping'an was puzzled, and said: "Don't worry, the Turkic soldiers who come to attack will not really attack Zheliu, but just scare us...... Just scare you, they're going to attack Shazhou. ”

Wang Ping'an glanced at Gu Lantian on the side, and saw that the ancient governor pouted, touched his chin and didn't make a sound, he laughed a few times dryly, and said: "It turned out that he was going to attack Shazhou, but Xia Guan is also the governor of Shazhou, do you want to send troops?" ”

Fang Xuanling waved his hand and said, "There's no need." The old man has already sent someone to inform the Shazhou Assassin, and it is estimated that the Assassin has let the surrounding people enter the city, and the enemy who comes to attack will not get any benefit. ”

Wang Ping'an blinked his eyes and thought, "Wouldn't the people of Dayan have to run for nothing, they won't be so stupid, right?" What we expected, before they came, how could we not have expected it! ”

Fang Xuanling said: "No disease, this is the first time you have dealt with a Turkic tribe, right?" They don't understand the way they do things yet. He explained the current situation for Wang Ping'an.

The Turkic soldiers of the Dayan Department were attracted by Qu Zhimao, and there can be nothing wrong with that. But the king of the Dayan Khan would not be stupid enough to lend him troops for nothing, and he had to have benefits, so he must have come under the pretext of mediation. As for a robber leader, what is there to mediate with the Tang court...... It doesn't matter, as long as there's an excuse to come!

The vanguard army borrowed by Qu Zhimao will definitely make a mess under the city and make a strong attack. At this time, the Khan King of the Dayan Department arrived, and he would say to Wang Ping'an, we were fooled, we were deceived by Qu Zhimao, and made up a reason, anyway, they were deceived. But it's easy to come, it's hard to go back, because there is no food, no supplies, so you Datang people want us to get out, just support it, if you don't give it to us, you won't leave!

This is coercion in disguise, it's not that the Dayan Department doesn't want to leave, but they can't go, and they have been deceived, so morally speaking, they can't fight with them. Here they negotiate with a soft knife, while on the Shazhou side, they will not be polite, and they will definitely grab the periphery.

Zheliu has to agree to their conditions, at most the materials given are discounted. If they don't agree, they won't leave, they eat, drink, and sleep outside the city, who can stand it! They are all shameless, who can do anything to them?

In the end, the Dayan Department took the materials provided by Zheliu, took the property stolen from Shazhou, and returned to the grassland. If Wang Ping'an had not pursued them for robbing Shazhou, they would have said, "We robbed Shazhou because we didn't have anything to eat, and you dragged it out and didn't support us." It's not that we want to rob, it's you who forced us to rob, it's all your fault!

Anyway, when the Dayan Department comes here, it will definitely return with a full load, and it will not suffer, as for whether the Tang Army will retaliate in the future, we will talk about it later!

After listening to Fang Xuanling's words, Wang Ping'an grinned and said, "The Khan King of the Dayan Department, no matter how he is a hero, he won't be so shameless, right?" ”

"Shameless?" Gu Lantian spoke, and he said: "I have seen a lot of shameless things in Yumen Pass over the years, and this is the most shameful time for the Turks, so they still use Qu Zhimao as a reason!" ”

Wang Ping'an was a little confused, and said: "Then what should we do, just wait for them to perform this disgusting trick, and there is no way to crack it?" ”

Fang Xuanling and Gu Lantian were silent, and after a long time, Fang Xuanling said: "According to the current situation, it can only be like this, our army has little chance of winning a war, and it is really unnecessary, neither the enemy nor we have any intention of going to war, but if we don't start a war...... Then we can only suffer the people around Shazhou, and I hope they can enter the city as soon as possible to reduce their losses. In the face of these scoundrels, there is really no good way. ”

Wang Ping'an is extremely dissatisfied in his heart, as the prime minister of a country, he gives up the small and takes the big, from the overall situation, he can't say his mistakes, but the people are suffering, how many families will be ruined and destroyed in these words!

He stood up and said, "Lord Fang, you are right, the lower officials admire it." But since the Khan of the Dayan tribe is a scoundrel, why shouldn't we be scoundrels too? ”
