readx;?? September 27, afternoon, Anzhou, Songziling. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ah Changsheng and Feng Hong took some palace staff and nearly 1,000 subordinates to control the strings, ran day and night, crossed mountains and mountains, crossed Wulie, Wudu and two rivers, and finally met with Xi Wang A Huizheng at the foot of Songzi Ridge, which was more than 100 miles away from Sanhui City, an important town in the southeast.

In order to speed up the evacuation, Ah Hui Zheng discarded a large amount of baggage under the city of Luoma, and after arriving at Qijin Mountain, the capital of the Murod Department, he left all the wounded and sick behind, and arrived at Sanhui City yesterday, at this moment there are only more than 400 miles away from Xi Wang's Mansion, and it takes two or three days to speed up the horse, although the whole army is exhausted, but the morale is still quite strong.

However, the situation has deteriorated much faster than Ah Huizheng had predicted.

Yesterday, the Sanhui city guard A Hui Salin welcomed out of the city, after seeing A Hui Zheng, without waiting for A Hui Zheng to ask, he urgently reported that the Middle Earth people launched a full-scale attack, September 22 southwest town Baitancheng fell, it is estimated that Yanshan Pass Panlong Fort has fallen earlier, and September 23 in the north of the important town of Guifang City also fell, before this Songshan Pass should have fallen, so that the Xi Wangfu fell into the middle of the army in the north and south, precarious. On the night of September 24, President Sheng asked for help from Sanhui City, and urgently reported to Ah Hui Zheng, asking Ah Hui Zheng to speed up the support.

Ah Hui was shocked and changed color. Middle-earthers? Didn't you say that the enemy was Turkic? How did you suddenly become a Middle-earther? The White Sandalwood City fell, the Ghost Fang also fell, and the Middle-earth army attacked from the north and south, so where did the Middle-earth army that surrounded the Ghost City come from? Divine Soldiers from the Sky? Immediately, Ah Huizheng suddenly had an epiphany, that army was the so-called Middle-earth rebels who had left Yanbei before, and the Xi people had been tricked by the Middle-earth people. It's just, what did the Turks do? There were tens of thousands of troops under the tent of Ashina in the southeast of the moraine, why did he not stop the attack of the "Middle-earth rebels"?

But this is no longer the point, the point is that the warning of the desert tooth tent is correct, the people of Middle-earth are indeed going to attack Anzhou, and it is still a north-south attack, and strive to fight a battle. Ah Huizheng regretted that he had misjudged the situation between the north and the south at the beginning, and did not pay enough attention to Shi Shu Huxi's warning, resulting in today's disaster of extinction.

If this news spreads, it will inevitably hit morale seriously, and the army's morale will be weakened, and I am afraid that the Xi tribes will surrender one after another in order to survive, and then the Ahui alliance will inevitably fall apart, and Ahuizheng and Ahui will be wiped out.

Fortunately, Ah Hui Salin acted steadily, knew the serious consequences of the bad news, deliberately concealed it, and blocked the news with a few insiders, but Xi Wangfu is very close to Sanhui City, and the information exchange between Xi Wangfu and Sanhui City is not only an official channel, such important news will definitely be transmitted to Sanhui City through various channels, and then quickly spread to the entire southeast region, so there is very little time for Ah Hui Zheng to respond in time, which greatly increases the difficulty of reversing the crisis.

In the face of the behemoth of Middle-earth, in the face of the current one-sided situation, relying only on the strength of the Xi people themselves, if they want to turn defeat into victory and turn the tide of the tide, it is very difficult, unless the heavens favor the Xi people, and the miracle of defeating the strong with the weak occurs, but it is basically impossible to expect the people of Middle-earth to repeat the mistake of defeating Sashui on the battlefield of Goguryeo, and it is impossible for the people of Middle-earth to make the same mistake again, so how to reverse the crisis and save the Xi people? The most realistic countermeasure is to hold on to the inside, drag the Middle Turks, ask for help from the Turks outside, and attack the Turkic army with the Turks, although Anzhou may become a ruin, and the Xi people have suffered heavy losses, but as long as the land is still there, the tribe is still there, as long as the Xi people recuperate, lie down and taste the courage, and work hard, after all, there will be a day of comeback.

Ah Huizheng immediately summoned Sima Li Yi and several other cronies to discuss countermeasures, and after careful analysis and deduction, the conclusion was not optimistic.

There are three conditions needed to hold on to the inside, one is that the five tribes of the Xi tribe are united and united, as long as one tribe surrenders to Middle-earth, it will inevitably bring a series of chain reactions, everyone will learn from each other, and the alliance will inevitably collapse quickly in a short period of time; Second, there must be sufficient grain and grass weapons, but the Xi people themselves have limited reserves, and it took too much to fight with the Khitans for two months before, and a large number of baggage was discarded when retreating, if the Xi Wangfu fell again, and winter came again, only consumption and no output, then only the barren land in the southeast could not support tens of thousands of troops, let alone support a protracted war; Third, the Khitans could not take advantage of the fire to rob and fall into the ground, if the Khitans were short-sighted, regardless of the overall situation, in order to retaliate and attack the Xi people, and formed a flanking attack with the Middle-earthers, then the Xi people's persistence would become more and more difficult.

Asking for help outside the country, don't say how much to pay, from the Turks? Judging from the previous series of actions, the Turks had ill intentions and other plans.

The Turks knew that the Middle-earth people were going to attack Anzhou, but they let the so-called "Middle-earth rebels" break through their resistance and successfully entered the flat pine forest, giving the Xi people a fatal blow, causing the situation in Anzhou to get out of control. Or simply sacrifice the entire Xi people to consume the Middle-earthers, and then benefit the Turkic fishermen.

What are the Turks up to? Judging from the current situation between the north and the south, the war between the north and the south is getting closer and closer, but it is an indisputable fact that the south is strong and the north is weak, even if the Middle-earth people have lost repeatedly on the battlefield of the expedition to Goguryeo, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the national strength after the unification of Middle-earth is too strong, and the defeat on the battlefield of Goguryeo actually has limited damage to Middle-earth, at most, it is a little wounded and bleeding, and it will recover after a while, so the future North-South War must be the Middle-earth people who take the initiative to attack, cross the Great Wall and go deep into the desert, pressing step by step, and the Turks must be passive defense, step by stepTherefore, for the Turks, in order to win the best possible outcome in this war, it is imperative to need more time to prepare for war, to do everything possible to contain and weaken the power of Middle-earth, and to find ways to delay the outbreak of war. In order to achieve this goal, a second "Goguryeo battlefield" is needed, and a "quagmire of war" that can continue to contain and consume the Middle-earths.

If this analysis is correct, expecting the Turks to do everything they can to rescue the Xi is wishful thinking and extravagant hope.

What's next for Anju? Optimistically, the Turks launched a rescue, and the Qiji Ashina of the southeast Yaqi broke through the flat pine forest and began to attack the ghost side, while the weak Luoshui Buli set Ashina Er persuaded the Xi and Khitans to join forces and began to attack the Songshan Pass, and at the same time gave limited material support to the Ah Hui Zheng and Xi armies who were sticking to the southeast corner to ensure that Ah Hui Zheng and the Xi army could survive. Then the two warring sides entered a stage of confrontation and stalemate, and the Turks joined forces with the Donghu tribes to fight with the Middle Turks repeatedly, and the Northeast became a quagmire of war, and finally the Donghu tribes became victims of the two great Turks and Middle-earth in their struggle for hegemony in the world.

If we are more pessimistic, in order to prevent the anger of the Middle-earth people from detonating the Civil War in advance, the Turks are weak on the surface and swallow their anger, but secretly support the Donghu tribes to jointly counterattack Middle-earth, and use the Donghu tribes to drag the Middle-earth people on the northeast battlefield, and then achieve the goal of containing and weakening Middle-earth, then it is foreseeable that even if the Xi people can still survive, the alliance between the Ahuizheng and the Ahui clan will become history, and the Xi tribes can only survive by surrendering Middle-earth.

Although the conclusion is not optimistic, Ah Huizheng and Li Yi and other cronies can only strive for the best result with their best efforts, so it was finally agreed that they would immediately send envoys to the Khitan to negotiate peace, to the north bank of the weak Luoshui to ask for help from the Xi people, and to the nominal supreme military governor of the Donghu tribes, Bu Lis, Ashina Er, for help, after all, the two sides have an alliance, the Xi people are Turkic vassals, and they are the powerful other tribes of the Turks, and they will charge into battle for them according to the orders of the Turks, and the Turks have the responsibility and obligation to protect them, if the Turks turn a deaf ear to the crisis of the Xi people, If they do not ask for help and are treacherous, then all kinds of Donghu empathy will inevitably deviate from morality, which is certainly not in the interests of the Turks.

In addition, an envoy was sent to the lightning plain to ask for help from the Qiji Ashina of the southeast Yaqi banner. If he insists on going his own way, or does not save him when he sees death, the messenger will immediately go to the north of the moraine, go to the tooth tent to ask for help from Shibi Khan, and sue Ashina to communicate with foreign countries, betray the tooth tent, and unite with the Middle Earth to attack and kill the Xi people.

After dawn, Ah Huizheng led the army to continue to march towards Xi Wangfu, in order to prevent the bad news from spreading and the army's heart was shaken, Ah Huizheng issued a gag order, and even the generals of the departments did not say anything.

At this moment, whether he can hold the Xi Wangfu has become the key to the survival of the Xi people, Ah Hui is worried, and he can't wait to fly to the Xi Wangfu with his wings, but the more he is afraid of the loss of the Xi Wangfu, the faster the bad news will come.

Ah Changsheng and Feng Hong both knew the seriousness of the loss of the Xi Wangfu, and both knew that once the news came, the Xi Clan Alliance would inevitably collapse overnight, so the two also issued a gag order on the way to retreat, and even Ah Changsheng and Feng Hong deliberately hid it, lest they be seen intentionally. Knowing that Ah Hui was crossing Songzi Ridge with the main army, the two discussed it, and then decided that Ah Changsheng would lead the army to find a secluded valley to hide, while Feng Hong would catch up with a team of guards, claiming that he was coming for help.

Ah Huizheng saw Feng Hong's flying horse, and immediately had an ominous feeling, and opened his mouth to ask, "Xi Wang's Mansion is besieged?" ”

Feng Hong was ashamed, closed his eyes, and shook his head in pain.

In an instant, Ah Huizheng was almost suffocated, dizzy, and despair permeated his body and mind.
