Chapter 538: An Incredible New Covenant
For an entire hour, Ashina Hu'er had been talking secretly with the messenger of the Collar Army in the tent. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This messenger belonged to the elite cavalry of Wu Switch's 5,000 Crash Command Army. Wu switch's 5,000 iron cavalry had previously been temporarily transferred by Fan Guoshi to suppress the rebellion due to a rebellion in the northeastern part of Northern Hebei Province and the sixteen states of Yanyun in the northern part of Jiping Province.
At that time, as the war progressed, the frontal battlefield of the Tuliao State was retreating, and at the same time, there was also instability in the country. Some heroes were unwilling to be the lackeys of the Tuliao people, and when they saw that the Tuliao country was beaten and its national strength retreated, they rose up one after another. Among them, Jiping Province resisted the most fiercely.
No one knows what Ashina Hu'er talked about with this secret envoy. However, after Ashina Huo'er finished the conversation, he immediately led more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to retreat, without stopping a single step, and directly withdrew from the grassland and retreated to Tongwan City.
Ashina Huo'er's withdrawal is equivalent to completely abandoning the remaining three provinces of the Tuliao State in the Guannai.
A few days later, 300,000 soldiers and horses from the three sides of the Pingtang Kingdom, the Pingming Kingdom, and the Han Army, received news almost simultaneously that the commander of the Tuliao State, Ashina Huo'er, had withdrawn directly from the Guanwai with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and went straight to Tongwan City!
In the evening of the next day, the emperors of the two countries, Liu Lai, the king of Han, learned the news sent by the 800-mile fast horse!
A few days later, the world was in an uproar!
Don't doubt it, the Tuliao Emperor killed by the Dingbei Garrison must be true. Otherwise, who would be stupid enough to give up the land of the three provinces and withdraw in embarrassment?
The emperor of the Tuliao State was actually attacked by the Dingbei garrison regiment for thousands of miles, and was stabbed to death by light cavalry! It is said that in the end, it was the hand of the deputy commander of the murderous and cruel garrison regiment! It is really worthy of the birth of a killing star, and now even the emperor of the Liao Kingdom was killed by him himself.
The death of an emperor did not last long, and he was quickly abandoned by the world. Now, the whole world is more interested in the land of the three provinces that the Tuliao Kingdom has fallen, and there are so many cities, who should it belong to?
Thinking of this, everyone was stunned to find that although the Tuliao Kingdom gave up the land and cities of these three provinces, it was not something that everyone said could be robbed. Because of that terrible Dingbei garrison, no news has been released.
Bypass the garrison and send troops directly to capture it? You don't want to die? There were more than 100,000 soldiers and horses outside the emperor of the Tuliao State, and tens of thousands of golden wolf cavalry guards inside, all of whom were forced to run thousands of miles by the Dingbei garrison and killed in the golden horde. Now, looking at the whole world, who dares to move?
Even Liu Lai, the king of Han who has always liked to play scoundrels, did not dare to move this time. Although he was born as a gangster, he was arrogant and unreasonable, but he was afraid of being stunned, and he was even more afraid of dying. This Dingbei garrison regiment is ten times more terrifying than the one who doesn't want to die, he wants your life at every turn!
After confirming the news, Li Shiluan immediately summoned a group of civil and military officials to discuss matters related to the full-scale expedition. Ashina Huo'er Pin ran away, and the Tuliao State retreated outside the Guan, and now there are large tracts of land in the three provinces that are empty and unoccupied! If you don't send troops now, when?
After confirming this news, Zhu Luchen also began to mobilize troops and horses, and he planned to move west and south first, and capture Jingnan Province and Lingnan Province in the south. Compared with the land city north of the Shuangshui River, he currently wants to unify the south of the Shuangshui River and then consider Jiangbei.
Liu Lai, the king of Han, was even more anxious, and after he mobilized a large army, he immediately attacked Beiji Province and Haidong Province. After all, the courtiers under his command were all understanding people, and tried their best to stop his Han king and persuade him to send envoys to the Dingbei garrison to find out.
While the three families were anxiously preparing for the expedition of the army, they hurried to the horses, and at the same time sent envoys to the Dingbei Garrison Regiment, wanting to ask what the Dingbei Garrison Regiment meant.
Although these three were ready to move, they did not dare to cross the Dingbei garrison and act rashly.
In the Dingbei Garrison Regiment, after the head of Xiao Liu cremated the corpse of the dead robe, he personally sorted the ashes one by one and put them on the altar, leaving them to be brought back to Dingbei County in the future and placed in the martyrs' shrine. Then the information of the dead in the battle was counted in detail, and he was prepared to give praise in the future, as well as to comfort his relatives.
Although it was said that the first battle killed the Tuliao Emperor and achieved such a great victory that shocked the world, the whole army of the Dingbei garrison did not celebrate. The two regiment commanders and their master, Old Medical Officer Sun, have been deducing the changes in the situation in the world in the future for several days, and calculating what the Northern Garrison Regiment should do next.
The purpose of the Dingbei garrison regiment's initial attack on the Tuliao State was only to destroy the Tuliao State, so that it would not continue to plague the world and the people. The Dingbei garrison did not intend to occupy more land, or to dominate the world.
Old Medical Officer Sun is not interested in dominating the world, and Commander Liu is also not interested, and Li Deyi is even more unpleasant to see the profession of "emperor", and he doesn't want to be an emperor at all.
Now that the little emperor of Tuliao is dead, the main force of the Tuliao State retreated to the outside of the pass in panic. Up to now, the rule of the Tuliao State in the Pingzhou world has existed in name only. Without the support of the Tuliao State behind them, those local wealthy families who occupy Beiji Province, Haidong Province, and Jiping Province are just fish and meat on the board, and sooner or later they will be carved up.
From this point of view, the operational objective of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment has been initially achieved. If you continue to fight, you will go north out of the pass, conquer the grassland, fight all the way to Tongwan City, and completely wipe out the Tuliao State.
Since the rule of the Tuliao State in Guannai has collapsed, the alliance between the three families and the Dingbei garrison has also ended. Although the covenant said that the three would support the Northern Expedition of the Dingbei Garrison, it did not specify how to support it.
What happens in the world next, and whose house the lost deer of the Ping Zhou Dynasty will fall into, depends on their respective abilities. The Dingbei garrison regiment obviously did not want to participate in this infighting anymore.
The next combat goal of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment is only one, the Northern Expedition to the grassland, and the attack on Tongwan City.
However, according to the current situation of the Dingbei garrison regiment, it is obviously not suitable to fight in the grassland at this time. The grassland battle is not as good as the Guannei, and there will inevitably be all kinds of unexpected situations, and if you don't prepare in advance, you will be making fun of the lives of the brothers in the Northern Garrison.
The focus of the discussion between the master and apprentice for several days was mainly on whether the Dingbei garrison regiment should continue to lead the three soldiers and horses to conquer the rest of the city.
Old Medical Officer Sun was inclined to withdraw to Dingbei County first, and let these three families compete for the world according to their abilities.
Li Deyi thought that if there was no restraint from the Dingbei garrison, I was afraid that the people in those cities would be miserable in the war. Previously, there was a garrison regiment in Dingbei, and after capturing the city, the three soldiers and horses were strictly disciplined, and there was no offense with Minqiu. If the Dingbei garrison is withdrawn, and the three soldiers and horses are no longer restrained, I am afraid that the ugliness will reappear.
At the beginning, Li Deyi wanted the soldiers and horses of the Pingtang Kingdom to abide by military discipline, but he almost used a knife.
In these years, every time a city is captured, it is common to slaughter the city for three days, and not seal the sword for five days, so as to boost morale. Don't look at those emperors and generals who often shout "the will of the people" when they fight the world, the people in their mouths refer to a small group of people who have money, land, culture, ability, and the right to speak. At the very least, you have to be able to make up a nursery rhyme and spread some mysterious news of feudal superstition. This is not the case for the common people, whose only role is to pay food and to serve in the conscription.
Commander Xiao Liu believes that the soldiers have been fighting outside for a long time, and now they must return to Dingbei County to rest for a while. Otherwise, if it continues like this, the homesickness in the soldiers' hearts may explode and cause a bad impact.
What the master and apprentice said made sense, although the old medical officer Sun and the head of Xiao Liu were inclined to withdraw their troops immediately, but what Li Deyi said was also reasonable, and the two of them could not force Li Deyi to agree to withdraw the troops. Li Deyi was born poor, so he has always cared about the people.
For a while, no one could convince anyone, and the situation was about to freeze.
At this critical moment, Li Deyi suddenly came up with a seemingly absurd solution. He calmed down, sorted out the thoughts in the sea of knowledge, and said, "Master, senior brother, I have a way, I don't know if it can be done." ”
Head Xiao Liu and Old Medical Officer Sun stared at Li Deyi and said in unison, "Let's hear it." ”
"At present, the Tuliao State has withdrawn from the grasslands outside the Guan. According to the alliance we made before, it seems that the alliance to attack the Tuliao Kingdom has ended. Now the envoys of the three parties are in our camp, waiting for us to nod. Li Shiluan, Zhu Luchen, and Liu Lai are all sharpening their knives and want to carve up the world. That's the current situation, am I right? Li Deyi looked at the master, and then at the senior brother.
"What are you going to do?" Old Doctor Sun asked.
"Master, let's go back and forth thousands of miles in a battle, and in less than ten days, among the tens of thousands of golden wolf cavalry, we took the life of the Emperor of Tuliao. The battle we fought must have frightened the three emperors who had always regarded themselves very highly, so although they were impatient and wanted to send troops to seize the land and cities, they still had to be patient and come to discuss with our Dingbei garrison and listen to our opinions. That's the case, right? Li Deyi continued.
"That's what happened. The envoys of the three families, this time we have come back to the north garrison group, and the posture is even lower than last time. When he saw me, he even called him 'Weichen' directly. Head Xiao Liu nodded.
"In that case, let's take advantage of this to renew the covenant with the three families. This time I thought about it, and I agreed that when the three families sent troops to capture the city, they were not allowed to slaughter the people after the city was broken. Li Deyi said what he thought.
The old doctor Sun and the head of Xiao Liu were stunned, they thought that Li Deyi would propose a new covenant to limit the three families, and ask them to help the garrison continue to conquer the city and slaughter those families who had taken refuge in the Tuliao State. Unexpectedly, Li Deyi only made such a request.
"Didn't you hate those big families before, and vowed to slaughter them?" Head Liu asked out loud.
"I've thought about it all these days. I don't have much ability now, and if I want to slaughter those big families, I have to fight for the lives of my brothers. I had taught them a lesson and told them to guard their good days, but how could I send them to death with my own hands? Now that the great enemy Tuliao has been driven out of the customs by us, I have also killed a lot of those big families. Since the expedition, the brothers have suffered thousands of casualties, and I can't bear to see them die in vain again. Let's withdraw to Dingbei County for a period of recuperation. Li Deyi was a little choked up as he spoke.
He personally taught those elite soldiers who died in battle. Teach them to read, educate them ideologically, tell them to defend their good life. even enlightened them personally, but this time, seeing them die in battle one after another, Li Deyi's original resolute thoughts began to waver.
Especially after killing the little emperor of Tuliao with his own hands, with the complete withdrawal of the Tuliao State to Guanwai, Li De's life was ambitious, and most of the destruction of the Tuliao State has been completed. As a result, Li Deyi's originally wavered heart took advantage of the situation to temporarily put down his original insistence.
Therefore, Li Deyi decided to withdraw to Dingbei County for cultivation first, and then expedition north to the grassland when the time is ripe in the future, so as to completely destroy the remnants of the Tuliao State. Now, with a new covenant, try to protect the people who have been tortured by the war, and protect them from being slaughtered again when the "king" comes.
After the three masters and apprentices reached an agreement, the news of the imminent withdrawal of troops was announced. The soldiers of the garrison regiment had been fighting outside for so long, and now they couldn't help but smile excitedly when they heard that they were finally able to return home. Those who don't have a family are wondering, with this battle exploits, how can it be my turn to marry a daughter-in-law!
Now, the first-class soldiers of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment are more inclined to rely on the garrison regiment to introduce their daughters-in-law, which is much stronger than finding a matchmaker to talk about marriage, and it also has more face.
Subsequently, Li Deyi summoned the three envoys and put a new covenant he had made in front of the three envoys.
The covenant only stipulates that it is forbidden to slaughter the city, and it is forbidden to kill the people at will after the city is broken, and nothing else. Stating the remaining cities and land, let the three families each conquer according to their ability.
The envoys of the three families couldn't believe that such a simple new covenant could be made by this deputy head of Li, who had spread his notoriety all over the world, was fierce and powerful, and claimed to be descended from the heaven-killing star.
The Dingbei Garrison Regiment didn't ask for anything else, didn't ask for any benefits, and simply made a request.
Three days later, Kuaima sent the will of the two emperors and the king of Han, and the three of them had no objection, and the covenant was officially signed, which came into effect on the same day.
