The father and son of the Wang family stood on the city tower, their expressions extremely solemn. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The torches of the enemy outside the city are densely packed, from far to near, from less to more, like a flowing bright galaxy in the night sky, giving people the feeling that it is not beautiful and amazing, but terrifying and terrifying. Then there was the sound of horses' hooves rumbling in the night wind, and the neighing of horses in the darkness, as if countless ghosts had rushed out of hell and rushed into the city like a tide, making people tremble and sweat coldly. It is clear that the enemy is not a forest horse thief, and the horse thief does not have so many men and horses; The enemy is not the Middle-earth, if the Middle-earthers attack Xidi through the Lightning River, how can the Turks take advantage of the road and let the opponent cut off their own arms? Therefore, the enemy can only be the Turks, and only the Turks can kill with lightning speed, so there is such a large and powerful horse army.
The Turks were treacherous, stabbed in the back, and even attacked the vassal vassals and allied brothers at this critical moment, despicable and shameless, reminiscent of the warning issued by Shi Shu Huxi to the Xi people before, and humiliated Wang Yun had to speculate on the Turks' attack intentions with the greatest malice.
"Who is the enemy?" The cloud killing machine was revealed, and asked in a cold voice.
Meng Ba gritted his teeth, "Shameless Turks, what do they want to do?" The Middle-earthers are attacking both sides of the Lightning River, and even some of the troops have entered the Lightning Plains, and the tooth banner is in a hurry, so in such a critical situation, Ashina is not concentrating on counterattacking the Middle-earthers, but the troops are divided into two roads, fighting on two fronts, which is too crazy and unreasonable. ”
Speaking of this, Meng Ba Huo Ran woke up, turned his head to look at the clouds, and showed a worried look in his eyes, "My lord, it should be that the struggle over there is fierce, and it has affected the pond fish and affected us." ”
Wang Yun frowned and bowed slightly, "The Turks' move has a deep meaning, and it is very likely that the safety of the ghost party is to coerce the king to withdraw his troops immediately." ”
Meng Ba was even more worried, "My lord, in that case, what will be the plan?" Do you want to ask the palace for help? ”
Wang Yun folded his arms, looked at the "red torrent" surging outside the city, and was silent in thought.
At the beginning, before King Xi Ah Hui went north to attack the Khitan, he had tried Qi Ji Sheh and Bu Lishe, the two brothers did not support it, but they did not openly oppose it, Ah Hui Zheng understood it as acquiescence, so he decisively sent troops. Later, Tong Lifa Shi Shu Hu Xi came, and immediately issued a warning to Ah Huizheng, saying that the Middle-earth people were going to attack Xidi, and the implication was to tell him to withdraw his troops and stop fighting, but Ah Huizheng ignored it and continued to attack. Shi Shu Huxi is Shi Bi Khan's confidant, and his every move represents the will of Shi Bi Khan, so it is not difficult to judge that Shi Shu Hu Xi's warning to A Huizheng actually represents Shi Bi Khan's strong dissatisfaction with A Huizheng.
Shibi Khan and Qi Ji She, Bu Li Sheh face and heart discord, the contradiction between the brothers is very large, Ah Hui Zheng is taking advantage of this, using the contradictions within the Ashina clan to launch an attack on the Khitan, and from the current situation, although Shi Bi Khan is very angry about Ah Hui Zheng's unauthorized attack on the Khitan, deliberately confusing the situation in the northeast, but he is afraid that Ah Hui Zheng has the secret support of Ji Sheh and Bu Li Sheh behind him, if he openly and directly attacks Ah Hui Zheng, it will inevitably intensify the contradiction between him and the two brothers, Once it caused a strong backlash from Qi Jishe and Bu Lishe, the brothers directly made a move and killed each other, which not only did not help to ease the situation in the northeast, solve the trade crisis between the north and the south, and stabilize the relations between the north and the south, but had the possibility of further deteriorating the situation. It happened that there were rebels in Middle-earth attacking, Ashina was caught off guard, and for a while he was anxious, hurried, and tired of coping, Shi Shuhu saw that the opportunity was rare, and it was very likely that he would take advantage of Ashina's self-indulgence to persuade some tribal leaders loyal to Shibi Khan in the tooth banner to raid the ghost side across the flat pine forest, and then force Ah Huizheng to withdraw his troops in order to achieve the purpose of warning and attacking the Xi people.
However, the current situation is also a rare development opportunity for the Xi people, an opportunity to break through the encirclement of foreign powers, and should not be missed.
Now Middle Earth is exhausted after two consecutive years of eastward expedition to Goguryeo, and the Far East overlord Goguryeo almost collapsed under the drag of two consecutive years of war, but at this critical moment, the Turks in the southeast Yaqi of the nearest Xi people were restrained by a rebel army in the Middle Earth, as for the Xi people in the north, they also had the heart to go south, the Xi people and the Khitan sandpiper and the mussels competed, just cheap the Xi people, and they could make a profit without much effort, and then as long as either side of the Xi people and the Khitan failed, the Xi people would definitely "take advantage of the fire to rob", Expand your territory in the south. Therefore, at this moment, the Xi people are actually riding a tiger, this opportunity is not to be grasped, because the cost of Ah Huizheng's withdrawal is too great, as long as he withdraws, the Khitans will follow and kill, and the Xi people will also take advantage of the fire to rob, plus the Turks are waiting under the ghost city, and the three sides are attacking, even if Ah Hui is withdrawn, the five armies of the Xi people will also suffer heavy losses, and after the strength is greatly reduced, the Xi people will definitely become fish on the chopping board, and let the powers slaughter, the future is very pessimistic.
On the contrary, if the Ghost Fang City persists, ensures Ah Huizheng's retreat and local security, gives Ah Huizheng strong support, and helps Ah Huizheng defeat the Khitans and completely occupy the Tuosu Chenshui, then the Xia people will definitely take advantage of the fire to rob and seize a large area of land on the south bank of the weak Luoshui, and the final situation is that the Xi and the Xi will join forces to jointly divide the Khitan, and they will be happy.
In this way, the key to this battle falls on the ghost side, and the fate of the Xi clan is in the hands of the humiliated Wang Yun, the responsibility is as heavy as a thousand pounds, and the pressure is great, and the humiliated Wang Yun will also pay an unimaginable price for this, and it is even possible that the whole army will be wiped out.
So, can he get enough rewards for insulting Wang Yun at such a huge price? The answer is not certain. If the whole army of Wang Yun is destroyed and the Ghost Fang City falls, not only will there be no return, but he will also bear the responsibility of exterminating the race; If the humiliating king Yun loses troops and will keep the ghost city, the strength will inevitably decrease sharply, in this case, even if there is a return, the gains and losses are not proportional, the weak eat the strong, and the humiliating king will soon be eaten up by Ah Huizheng; Of course, there is also a best result, that is, the humiliation of Wang Yun to keep the ghost side at the minimum cost, the loss of strength is not large, and the return is also high, but the premise is that the Turks under the army do not have the determination to capture the ghost side, nor are they prepared to be trapped in the northeast battlefield, and there is no absolute advantage in terms of troops, this attack is just to "encircle Wei and save Zhao", that is, to use the safety of the ghost party to coerce A Huizheng to withdraw his troops, in order to maintain the situation of the three clans in the northeast, and A Huizheng also compromised, and also "tacitly" cooperated, and took the initiative to withdraw the troops, And returned unharmed.
So, how likely is this best-case outcome? It was minimal, because there was no trust between the Turks and the Xi, and the relationship between the suzerains and the vassals was very strained. The Turks have coveted the Northeast for a long time, but the Middle Turks and the Far East Goguryeo are also staring at this piece of "fat meat", and the result is a stalemate, and no one can eat this piece of "fat meat", but now the situation has changed, the Middle Turks and Goguryeo have lost both, and they have temporarily lost the power to annex the Northeast, and the Turks should naturally seize this opportunity to make a decisive move.
Therefore, Wang Yun's judgment of the current situation is that the Turks are most likely to besiege the city and send reinforcements, which can not only force Ah Huizheng to withdraw his troops, but also use the power of the Khitan and the Xia tribe to attack Ah Huizheng on three sides. After the defeat of Ah Huizheng, under the pressure of survival, he was bound to surrender to the Turks, so the Turks easily annexed the Xi people and took the Xi land, and then the Turks took advantage of the victory to attack and swept the Khitan and Xia tribes, and the northeast land was at your fingertips. Taking a step back, even if the Turks fail to achieve their greatest goal and even fail to annex the Xi, they can definitely inflict heavy losses on the Xi and then greatly strengthen their control over the northeast, and the final winner is still the Turks.
After such an analysis and judgment, and then weighing the pros and cons, there is actually only one choice to insult Wang Yun.
He can't take risks, he can't gamble with the fate of the Xi people, and at the same time, he can't put the Su Wang's troops in a desperate situation of death, so he can only ask Ah Huizheng to withdraw his troops with 100,000 urgency, taking advantage of the fact that the Turks have not yet captured the ghost side, and the ghost side can still hold on, and the Songshan Pass is still in his own hands, taking advantage of the fact that the Khitan people have not seen the situation clearly, taking advantage of the fact that the Xi people have not yet begun to take advantage of the fire to rob, and taking advantage of the fact that the situation has not deteriorated to the point of being out of control, please ask Ah Huizheng to withdraw at all costs, although the Xi people will miss the development opportunity because of this, It may even suffer a heavy blow because of this, but the tribe has been preserved, the habitat has been preserved, and the humiliating royal department has also been preserved, which is a great luck in misfortune, and it can be regarded as the best result.
"Light the beacon fire, call the police to Matsuyama, and make sure that Matsuyama is not lost." Wang Yun turned his head and glanced at Meng Ba, "You immediately go out of the city, use the cover of night to break out of the enemy encirclement, ask the king for help, and ask the king to withdraw his troops quickly." ”
Yun's order was a little different from Meng Ba's prediction, he hesitated slightly, agreed, and then said cautiously, "My lord, the Turks chose to sneak attack the ghost side at this moment, it should be directly related to the attack of the Middle-earth people, once the Great War broke out, in order to fully confront Middle-earth, the Turks not only need the stability of the northeast, but also need the three northeastern tribes to charge for it, so I think that the goal of the Turks' sneak attack on the ghost side should be to force the king to withdraw his troops, not to capture the ghost side." Besides, the Turks fought on two fronts and could not concentrate the main force to attack the ghost side, but after the army of my Xi Wangfu came to support, they could attack the enemy from inside and outside, so that the ghost side would be able to hold out for a longer time. ”
Yun understood what Meng Ba meant as soon as he heard it. Meng Ba was tempted by the development opportunity in front of him, and at the same time had a trace of illusion about the Turks, and did not know enough about the cruelty and bloodiness of the Turks, so he naively thought that he could seek skin with the tiger, and he could deal with the Turks while dragging the Turks under the ghost city, while continuing to attack the Khitan, capture the Tuosu Chenshui, and expand the territory.
"On what basis do you think that the Turks are fighting on two fronts?" Yun asked unceremoniously, "Where did you get the evidence that the Turks were still at war with the Middle-earths on both sides of the Lightning River?" ”
Meng Ba was speechless.
"Don't have illusions." Yun said sharply, "Tell the king, the Turkic army is pressing the border, and the ghost is not guaranteed, please don't hesitate at all, and 100,000 troops will be withdrawn in a hurry to help, otherwise the Xi people will die." ”
