Chapter Ninety-Four: Thirty-Seven Open
Zhuang Yi and Xie Ra sat down at the back of the case at random, while Zhang Yitai followed Bao En into the inner room with the medicine box on his back, thinking that he was going to change the medicine for Xiao Deer, and the two retreated after a cup of tea. Immediately, a middle-aged woman helped Shorel out, sat down behind the opposite case, and turned around and went out on her own.
"What do you want to do with us?" Xiao Del must have understood Zhuang Yi's intention, and opened his mouth to break the cold field.
"Until now, I won't hide it from you! Yao Yuan Qinde is about to personally lead a large army to attack the tooth tent, and the decisive battle is imminent...... If we win and you surrender, we will naturally dispose of it. If our side is defeated, I am afraid that you black car Murowei will go to be slaves for the Khitans. In other words, your fate is no longer up to you. After this great battle, whoever is victorious will be your new master. For your tribe is too weak, and this is the inevitable result. Zhuang Yi said bluntly.
"Hey, hey! Is it to surrender to you? Or surrender to Turus? Since it is surrender, isn't it the same to obey anyone? Shorel sneered.
"Of course it's different, it's more beneficial for you to submit to King Xi, and there will be two ways to settle down: one is to completely break up your ministry and distribute it to each ministry as a trophy; The second is that you will become the next part of King Xi's rule from now on, but you can only be loyal to King Xi from now on. Besides, I might get some of the population, and if you're willing to follow me, I'm totally welcome! ”
"Hmph...... It's just your side of the story, and I believe in Turus more than you! Xiao Der snorted coldly, turned his head and ignored Zhuang Yi, in fact, he had chosen the latter without hesitation in his heart, but he was reluctant to say it for the time being, and wanted to see the situation in order to strive for more benefits.
"I'm not a bad person, why don't you believe it. The war is coming, the opportunity is rare, if you are willing to lead troops to fight with me again, then the possibility of becoming an independent part under King Xi is higher, how about it? You might as well think about it! Zhuang Yi explained with an innocent face.
"What you said is true...... Bao asked bluntly, but immediately felt that something was wrong and quickly stopped talking.
Although what Zhuang Langjun said was not the final decision, his opinion would basically be adopted by King Xi. Tomorrow we will be pulling out the camp and going to Tooth Tent City, and your people will stay here, hoping that when you meet King Xi, you will make the right choice. Xie said with a smile.
"Let's take our leave! If you figured it out, you can send someone to me at any time. Also, before you leave tomorrow morning, you two will go and appease your people. Zhuang Yi got up and said, and the three of them left immediately.
Early the next morning, Bao En came to see Zhuang Yi and expressed his willingness to accept some of Zhuang Yi's requests, and led 3,000 troops to fight with Zhuang Yi. Zhuang Yi was overjoyed and made some arrangements for the captives.
Immediately, the patriarch of Xie Ra and Xiao Deer stayed behind to guard the rear, and Bao En led 3,000 troops to follow Zhuang Yi to the city of the tent, arriving in the afternoon of the same day. Turus personally led his troops out of the city, dispersed the Khitan rangers, and set up a full guard of honor to greet them, and the people of the entire royal city were boiling with the joy of victory.
Turus immediately ordered the three armies to be rewarded and a banquet was set up for Zhuang Yi to celebrate his achievements, and everyone dispersed until midnight. Turus met with Zhuang Yi and Bao En overnight, and preliminarily determined the future belonging of the Murowei people.
Thirty-seven points! As long as the Khitan Khan's attack can be repelled, the 80,000 Murwei people, three parts will be given to Zhuang Yi, and seventy percent will be returned to Turus, which is actually the next part under the rule of Turus, with a certain degree of independence.
Although Zhuang Yi was unwilling, he didn't spend any money at all, and he used Xi soldiers to fight, so naturally he didn't want to force too much. Moreover, the dividend of this war is an unexpected result, and borrowing 5,000 fine horses from Turus is the original agreement, and this condition will not change.
Zhuang Yi's victory in the first battle undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of Xi people. The next day is the Double Ninth Festival, in the Central Plains there will be dogwoods, climb high and overlook, watch chrysanthemums and other activities, but the Xi people and the Khitan people do not attach importance to this festival, the Khitan Khan personally led the main army of 30,000 to arrive outside the city, the Xi people are busy preparing for war, and no one is flustered, everyone knows that in order to keep vested interests, there will be a vicious battle that determines the future and fate of both sides.
The army of Yaolin Qinde was stationed in the camp prepared by Handeng Shixuan, and sent a large number of rangers to spy on the perimeter of the royal city that day, but the main force did not attack the city. In the afternoon, Yao Yuan Qinde led Yelu Wolf De and a group of generals such as Bri, Handen, and Na Yu who came later, accompanied by more than 1,000 guards, and came to inspect the defense of the royal city.
After going around the city and returning to the north gate, he looked at the city wall more than two feet high, his eyes showed a hint of envy, and he looked around at the generals and asked, "What do you think of the construction of this city?" ”
"The city is still strong, but fortunately, it has not been completed, and the defense is not enough, if the Great Khan is late for half a month to attack, it will increase the difficulty." Jerod replied.
"Indeed...... The Great Khan had the foresight to choose the right time for this battle! Handen smiled flatteringly.
"After this battle, how about we build a royal city like this?"
"This ...... Good is good! I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money and manpower......" Jerod replied ambiguously.
"This battle will be won! Wouldn't it be better to let these taunts come and build us a city? Hahaha......" Haruka Chin De laughed triumphantly.
"The Great Khan is wise! There is a great khan leading the palace tent elite soldiers to recruit in person, and this battle will definitely be won! Handen laughed flatteringly, which made Jeruwolf frown disdainfully, but said nothing.
"Brie! Go and make a run, and send a message to Turus, that if he will surrender, he will be exempted from paying tribute for three years; If he resists stubbornly and steps on his royal city, it will be difficult for him to stand on the grasslands in the north of the mountain. Of course, if he is willing to go out of the city to fight our army, it will be the best. Yao Yuan Qinde held a horse whip in his hand, pointed to the city wall and said, and then led the people away.
Brie did not dare to slack off when he received the order, and sent soldiers to call the door. But the north gate was blocked, and the Xiren defenders in the city consulted the commander of the city and hung it up with a rope. Brie went to see Turus and brought the exact words of Haruka Chende.
Turus had made up his mind, and naturally he didn't give him a good face when he heard it, and refused Brie's request to see Uda, and blasted him out of the city. Immediately an order was sent for the chiefs of the tribes and the leading troops to come to the Great Tent to discuss the battle for tomorrow.
When Zhuang Yi received the soldier's order, he was analyzing and planning this final battle with Zhang Yitai, Zhu Yongji, Yangguang Monk and others, and everyone was pessimistic about the decisive battle in the field.
Zhuang Yi also has no bottom in his heart, the plan of training and building the city has not been successfully completed, although the eight thousand foot soldiers have undergone a battlefield baptism, quite a bit of elite soldiers, but the equipment is really not good, and the number of people is also less, it is difficult to play the effect of riding on foot.
In this way, it is not the best strategy to stay in an isolated city. The main Khitan army has arrived, and if it does not fight a decisive battle with the enemy in the field, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be, and the Khitan army has too many opportunities to harass and destroy. The reason why Yao Yuan Qinde did not launch an attack was more to complete the battle and not make unnecessary delays.
Everyone had arrived one after another, and Turus couldn't wait to speak: "Now that the Khitan army is coming to the city, we will ask our army to fight a decisive battle in the north of the city tomorrow...... Is our army going to fight, and if so...... What is the number of wins and losses? ”
There was silence in the big tent for a while, and everyone turned their heads to look at Zhuang Yi, after all, he had won a victory, and his prestige quietly sprouted.
