Chapter 125: Cleaning up the mess

When the news of Abicheril's death reached Hesa's ears, Hesa felt as if the sky had fallen. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, even without the blow of this bad news, Hesa's current situation would have been bad enough. After the Battle of Baishahe, more than half of his men were killed and wounded, and his targets were exposed, so although he went out to the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains after that, he had strengthened his vigilance in various places along the way, and Hesa had hardly achieved anything except plundering a few small targets that had no strategic value. Of course, if he was willing to pay enough casualties, it was still possible to capture a few oasis city-states, but Hesa didn't want to do that. If he really uses troops like this, then it won't be long before his troops will be drastically reduced, and when the time comes, there will be no need for Wang Hanxin to send troops to recruit, and the combined efforts of a few oasis countries alone will make him unable to eat and walk around. Rather than becoming such an insignificant force, it is better to maintain combat power to move around more threatening, even if it cannot turn the enemy's rear upside down, at least it can contain a considerable number of enemy troops to support the front line, and it can also pose a certain degree of threat to the enemy's supply lines.

However, this was still costly, as it was difficult for Hesa's troops to be adequately supplied due to the lack of a foothold, and although Hesa's forces were no longer large, it was still difficult to feed such an army in the wilderness of the Western Regions. For this reason, Hassar went through the most miserable two months of his life, fighting every day for the survival of this army, but the advantage of this was that Hasa won the allegiance of this army, and every soldier knew how hard the Lord would work for him.

But Hesa's efforts did not pay off, when he learned from the captives that his father had died in battle, Hesa suddenly wept silently - all his suffering was in vain, his father's death in battle meant the defeat of the Tukchi army, and the army he led became an abandoned and lone army, not to mention that he was about to face the encirclement and suppression of the army of the Silk Country, which was several times his size, and even if he wanted to flee back to the grassland, there was not enough food.

Fortunately, Hesa had not forgotten his duty as a commander-in-chief, and as soon as he had calmed down, he executed the prisoner and announced to his subordinates that it must have been false news from the enemy, intending to undermine the will of his own army to fight. Saying that, Hesa began to search the map carefully at night, trying to find a shortcut back to the grassland.

Unfortunately, Hesa's efforts were in vain, and if there had been such a shortcut, he would not have had to go on a painstaking expedition in the first place. At present, the only way to survive is to forcibly break through one of the Tianshan defense lines, and then return to the grassland from the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. But how easy is it to break through the Tianshan defense line? Not to mention that there were less than 4,000 men in Hesa, and even if the force was doubled, it would be even more difficult to break through this line of defense, and even his father Abicheril could not use his strength against it.

At this moment, a spy sent by Hesa suddenly arrived, panting and reported to him that a small group of friendly troops had been spotted at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and that the leader was Timun.

When he heard this, he jumped up and asked, "Timon?" Why was he able to pass through the Tien Shan defense line? Don't?????? Has he already found a shortcut to break through this line of defense? ”

The spy hurriedly explained: "Lord Timon seems to have made a special trip to find your lord, and Lord Temeng is leading a team to this place, and the villain just came back to report the news first. ”

When Hesa heard this, he immediately ordered ten rangers to be sent to closely search for the enemy within fifty miles of the surrounding area, and at the same time sent two cavalry to protect his flanks in the direction of Temon's origin, and then led his men to meet him.

Fortunately, there was no trace of the army of the Silk Country along the way, and Hesa and Temon successfully joined forces.

The two brothers were reunited, but there was little joy, for Hesa inquired about Abicheril's death as soon as he came up, and the result naturally plunged both into grief.

"Brother, how did you cross the Tianshan defense line to get here?" Hesa asked after collecting his emotions.

Temon took his hand and said, "Brother, before I can answer this question to you, you must first answer me a question. Do you intend to carry on the legacy of your father Khan? ”

"Why did my brother say that?"

"Your father Khan's greatest wish is to make Tuqi stronger, but unfortunately he is no longer able to fulfill this long-cherished wish, what I want to know now is whether you have the determination to carry his unfulfilled wish, you just have to answer yes or no."

Hesa hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes! Since it is the last wish of my father Khan, then I must fulfill it no matter what! ”

"Even if you have to pay unimaginable difficulties and torture for this?"

"Of course! I can swear to the Immortal Heavens! ”

Only then did Teemon breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Well, since you have made up your mind, I will tell you how I got here, I negotiated with Wang Hanxin and reached an agreement, that is, I will support you to become the Khan of the new generation of Tuqi. ”

"Wang Hanxin?!" When Hesa heard this, his eyes immediately widened with anger: "He is the murderer of my father Khan!" ”

"But he is also our sworn brother, and you also killed his brother-in-law Chen Shihua, and he hates you no less than you," Ti said without changing his face: "Next, instead of being hostile to him, or even to the country of silk, we must befriend them in order to obtain the necessary political help and strategic advantage, which is what I just told you, you must endure unimaginable torture for ordinary people." ”

Hesa shook his head and said, "If you want me to cooperate with my father-killing enemy, but you want me to rule the people of Tukyo, what do you think the Tukis will think of me?" ”

Teemon waved his hand and said, "No, we are not cooperating with the Silk Country, but using them to serve our purposes!" The most important thing at the moment is not to avenge your father Khan, but to stabilize the situation in the country! If we can't get back to Dragon City in time to take control, the situation will only get worse! That's why I can't give you time to adapt, you have to make a decision immediately, we will immediately set off through the Tianshan Mountains and return to the grassland, these more than 4,000 people in your hands will become an important weight to change the situation, it will be too late to be late. ”

Hesa bowed his head and fell silent. After a while, he raised his head and said to Timon, "Although I still don't quite understand what you said, I know that brother, your wisdom is a hundred times better than mine!" I believe that the decision you make must be the best choice right now! I'll go with you! As for the rest, you can tell me slowly along the way. ”

Hearing this, Teemon knelt down on one knee, put his right hand on his chest, and said: "Immortal Heaven is above, from now on, I, Themon of the Rock Division, will serve Hesa as his master for the rest of my life, and do my best to make Hesa the Great Khan of Tuqi and restore the prestige of Tuqi!" ”
