On the fifth day of October, Anzhou, Wulieshui. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The Xi scouts went deep into the east bank of the Wulie River, probed day and night, and found that every night the people of Middle-earth quietly withdrew part of their army under the cover of night, and hurried north, heading straight to Fangcheng. Feng Hong also rushed to the east bank every day to negotiate with the Middle-earthers, but he never saw the white wolf or Meng Ba, and when he entered and exited the camp, he obviously noticed that the atmosphere was abnormal. All indications show that the possibility of the Turks sending troops to support is very high, and only when the ghost side is in a hurry, the white wolf will rush to help.
However, Ah Huizheng did not dare to make the decision to cross the river and attack, not only for fear of being attacked by the middle earth people and suffering heavy losses, but also afraid that this was a trap, after all, although the autumn wind swept the leaves of the middle earth to attack the city and sweep most of Anzhou, but so far they have not defeated the main army of the Xi people, and as long as the main force of the Xi people still exists, they can make a comeback at any time and make a comeback, so for the Middle Earth, the top priority is to defeat the main army of the Xi people, for this reason, they must make every effort and use all means.
The tribal leaders such as Mohehuang and Chuheyuan kept urging Ah Hui Zheng to make the decision to attack, but Ah Hui Zheng tried every means to prevaricate and delay, saying that he had sent people to Fangcheng secretly to inquire about the news, as long as he got the exact news from Fangcheng, determined that the Turks would send troops to support, and invested a large number of troops, and had the determination to fight against the Middle-earth, instead of a small-scale tentative attack, he would break the kettle and fight against the water.
Just as Ah Hui was arguing with the tribal leaders, a piece of good news suddenly came from the south bank of the water, and the messengers from the Bai Tan Guard Office and Su Zhi had arrived. Previously, the Xi army was blocked by Wulieshui, and Ah Huizheng had asked the head of the Mukun tribe to send people to cross the water, and rushed to both sides of the Dayao River from the killing loop to inquire about the military situation, and now there is finally an echo.
Department and Su Zhi reported, forced by the Chinese people to attack, outnumbered, had to take the initiative to abandon the city, retreat to Yaoyang, back to the dam plateau tenaciously insisted, but winter came, the Mukun Department lacked food and clothing, more than 3,000 soldiers and 780,000 troops could not continue, at present can only defend the city, as for the counterattack, that is the heart is weak, absolutely impossible, and more seriously, what to do at the end of the year? With Mu Kun's treasury reserves, it will not last until the end of the year, and it is already the limit to be able to hold on for another month or two.
This news greatly excited Ah Huizheng and the leaders of the tribes. The humiliation of the royal department betrayed, if the Mukun tribe also defected and surrendered, the Xi five tribes alliance would exist in name only, and the Xi people actually fell into a split, which was undoubtedly a blow to Ah Huizheng and supporters, fortunately, the Mu Kun tribe was still insisting, and the four divisions of the alliance were still hugging together, and the Xi people still had the hope of turning defeat into victory, but the division and Su Zhi made it very clear that the Mu Kun tribe could not last long, although he said that he could hold on for a month or two, but in fact it would be good to be able to hold out for a month, and the cost of fighting was too great. The little treasury reserve of the Mukun Department is simply a drop in the bucket, and in the end, he can only surrender for the sake of survival and Su Zhi, and he can't put the entire Mukun Department to death for the sake of a nominal covenant.
The spirit is invigorated, but the reality is becoming more and more cruel, Ah Huizheng has no choice, must attack, if according to his passive defensive strategy, it is certain that the heavy snow and Su Zhi will surrender with the Mukun Division, and the Mukun Department as a whole has defected, where will the soldiers of the Heyuan and thousands of Mukun Tribes go? It is not difficult to foresee that if Ah Hui is passively slacking off, trapping himself in a corner in order to preserve his strength, and leaving the Mukun tribe to fend for itself, he and thousands of Mukun soldiers will be disappointed, and it will be impossible to believe in and support Ah Huizheng again. Mu Kunbu turned his back on Ah Huizheng and turned his back, which was a fatal blow to the Xi Alliance, and then the Xi tribes must be scattered, the alliance fell apart, and Ah Huizheng and Ah Hui fought alone, alone, and were defeated.
Ah Hui made a decisive decision, crossed the river to attack, and recaptured Fangcheng from the Zhongtu people at any cost and rebuilt the Xiwang Mansion.
After the decision, the next step is to draw up specific operational deployments, so the question returns to the original point, if the army of Middle-earth gathers on the east bank of Wulieshui, and tens of thousands of troops are ready to go, how can the soldiers of the Xi nationality cross the river? Crossing the river is to send you to death, so you still have to wait for the opportunity.
Where's the timing? If the Turks send troops to attack, the ghost side is in a hurry, and the white wolf deploys troops to support, then the Middle-earth army on the east bank of the Wulie River will be less and less, and this is the time to cross the river.
"I have a plan, maybe I can shake the hearts of the enemy and promote the development of the war." Sima Li Yi took the initiative to offer a plan, "From tomorrow, send the control strings to gallop back and forth, build more camp tents, and plant more battle flags, pretending to be a steady stream of reinforcements, making every effort to make a desperate move, and at the same time send people to the other side to spread rumors, falsely claiming that the Turkic army has captured the ghost side and is besieging Fangcheng, and will cut off the retreat of the Middle-earth army at any time." If rumors spread and people are panicked, morale will inevitably be low, and the situation will inevitably change. As soon as the tide of battle changes, fighters will arrive. ā
"Good!" Ah Hui is gladly adopting.
On the fifth day of October, Anzhou, Panlong Fort.
After Li Zixiong received Yang Gongdao's letter, he rushed back to Panlong Fort day and night, and secretly met with Wu Benlang's general Zhao Shizhu that night.
After the greetings, Li Zixiong immediately asked about the current situation of King Qi. Zhao Shizhu knew what Li Zixiong meant, and immediately entered the lightning plain from the alliance, he and Poliu Han Maha followed closely across the lightning river, and joined forces with the king of Qi to contain the Turks.
Zhao Shizhu said in detail, and the point was King Qi's audacity, and behind the audacity, there was actually a direct confrontation with the Holy Lord and the center. At present, it seems that the king of Qi is right, Li Zixiong and Li Fengyun regained Anzhou with lightning speed, which did make the king of Qi build a credit and let the political life of the king of Qi continue, which since the king of Qi returned to Huaihuang, the holy lord and the center have never punished him for his audacity, not even criticism and reprimand, it can be seen that at this moment they really need such a bold King of Qi to sit on the border to deter the northern captives, so they do not hesitate to compromise with the king of Qi.
"Has the Turkic envoy arrived at the palace?" Li Zixiong asked again.
"It's already here, as for whether I have seen the Holy Lord, I don't know." Zhao Shizhu stroked his beard and said with a smile, "This time I caught the Turks off guard, and the Turks were terrified, and they didn't know if Middle-earth was going to launch the Northern Expedition immediately, so they rushed to the palace to find out the news." ā
"So we're taking advantage of it."
"Of course." Zhao Shizhu said, "The palace will definitely find ways to delay time for you and help you gain a foothold in Anzhou and stabilize Anzhou." By the time the Third Crusade began, and the Turks had figured out our intentions and launched a large-scale attack, you would have gained a foothold in Anju and could concentrate all your forces on a fierce battle with the Turks, thus achieving the goal of containing and depleting the Turks. ā
Li Zixiong's face was overjoyed, and he bowed his head again and again, "If everything goes well, the palace can at least buy us more than three months?"
"It is impossible for the brothers to attack blindly without receiving the order of the Khan of the Tooth Tent, so as not to turn against Middle-earth and trigger a war between the North and the South in advance, and they cannot afford this responsibility." Zhao Shizhu said with a smile, "If nothing else, the palace can hold off the Turkic envoys for at least a month, and then they return to the tooth tent, another month, wait until the tooth tent makes a decision, and then send the order to Qi Ji Sheh and Bu Li She, and it will take more than half a month, plus the preparation time of Qi Ji and Bu Li Sheh to send troops to Anzhou, so that you have at least three months to stabilize Anzhou." ā
"In the past three months, the support of grain and grass weapons will not be interrupted, right?" Li Zixiong asked, "If the decision of the Third Eastern Crusade is made, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee will have to make preparations before the Eastern Crusade, and the grain, grass and weapons will be continuously sent to Liaodong, and the support for us will definitely be reduced, or even interrupted, so this time, I want to get a promise from your Stay-behind Mansion, at the moment of our fierce battle with the Turks, you must not go back on your word, betray your word, and stick a knife in our back." ā
"This matter is now in charge of Murong Zhengze, the deputy town of Gubeikou." Zhao Shizhu joked.
Li Zixiong scoffed, "The Holy Lord ordered Murong Zhengze to be responsible for supporting Anzhou, the internal situation is very complicated, and there are different interpretations from different positions, do you want to analyze one by one?" ā
Zhao Shizhu smiled and hurriedly shook his hand, "Ming Gong, to tell you the truth, when I saw you this time, I was to warn you on behalf of the Left-behind Mansion that once the Third Eastern Crusade enters the implementation stage, the support to Anzhou will be interrupted at any time, and we can't make a promise." ā
Li Zixiong's expression suddenly became stern, "Why?" Or is it a problem with the flying fox? The Holy Lord made it very clear in the edict that he would unconditionally support Anzhou, what did Duan Da want to do? Yang worships yin and openly confronts the Holy Lord? ā
Zhao Shizhu waved his hand again, signaling Li Zixiong to be calm and not impatient, "In the edict that the Holy Lord gave Duan Liu, he said a word, supporting Anzhou, and encircling and suppressing the flying fox, there is no conflict. ā
Li Zixiong frowned and was silent in thought.
Zhao Shizhu continued, "Duke Ming, after the Holy Lord learned that you had captured King Xi's Mansion, he immediately stopped his trip back to Beijing, transferred to Gaoyang, and made a series of personnel adjustments to Daiheng and Hebei. From these changes, didn't Ming Gong see anything? ā
If Li Zixiong looks at the fire, of course, he can see it clearly. When the Holy Lord stopped returning to Beijing and went to Gaoyang, he decided to launch the Third Eastern Crusade, and the personnel adjustments to Daiheng and Hebei were clearly aimed at encircling and suppressing the rebels in Hebei and Yanbei and ensuring the safety and stability of the two major rear areas of Hebei and Youyan during the Third Eastern Crusade.
Seeing that Li Zixiong was silent, Zhao Shizhu said bluntly, "Huangtai Gong (Cui Hongsheng) arrived in northern Hebei, Shunzheng Gong (Dong Chun) arrived in Yanmen, Zhao Gong (Yin Shishishi) was in Yanbei, Xiangyuan Gong (Duan Da) was in Youzhou, and the four-way army was encircled and suppressed, Ming Gong thinks that your army left in Feihu still has any hope of survival?" ā
Li Zixiong sneered, "Duan Da still insists on his own opinion, and he insists that we withdraw the remaining army of the Flying Fox?" Even at the expense of disobeying the Lord's edict and threatening us with food, grass and weapons? ā
"Ming Gong misunderstood." Zhao Shizhu sighed, "Suppressing thieves is an important task that the Holy Lord ordered Xiangyuan Gong to complete, if after the start of the Third Eastern Crusade, Hebei and Yanbei are still rampant thieves, how can Xiangyuan Gong explain to the Holy Lord?" ā
Li Zixiong smiled, "Since the Eastern Crusade, there have been rebellions in the north and south of the Great River, and there has even been a white-haired thief who caused trouble in the Central Plains, may I ask, who has taken the responsibility?" Who has given an account to the Holy Lord? ā
Zhao Shizhu was speechless.
