On the fifth day of the ninth month, in the morning, there was a famine. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The situation quickly became clearer. The merchants of the border cities formed a group, made full use of their own resources, and skillfully formed a mobile offensive and defensive array with a makeshift horse army, horse-drawn carts full of supplies, and tens of thousands of livestock.
In front of them at this moment is the coalition of horse thieves, and in their rear are the rebels of Middle-earth, they are like a big fat sheep, at the same time a wild wolf and a tiger "targeted", the wild wolf and the tiger are hungry, they want to eat their prey, so they do not give in, and the prey is cheap, but temporarily safe.
The horse thief alliance is very depressed, and many leaders even regret it, knowing this, it is better to attack in the night before dawn, although the merchants are hugging together and beating a small group of horse thieves to the head, but the strength of the merchant army is limited after all, and the mobile offensive and defensive array is useless, and it can't withstand a charge of the horse thief alliance at all. It's a pity that the four big Kou led by Gao Hu were cautious and missed the opportunity in vain, but now they can't eat it when they look at the big fat sheep, and the grievances can be imagined.
Gao Hu was very glad that he saw the trap from the offensive and defensive array of the Shangjia army, if it weren't for his own caution, he had to wait until dawn to see the situation clearly before making a decision, the horse thief alliance would inevitably fall into the plan, and there would be heavy losses. There are hundreds of merchants in the border market, all kinds of things, and the businessmen are heavy on profit and spare their lives, and they fly separately when the disaster comes, and it is very rare for them to be united in a group of life and death, but what is even rarer is that they not only successfully broke through, but also made a mobile offensive and defensive array, and the operation of such a battle array first requires the merchants to obey the order, and the order is prohibited, which is absolutely impossible for the scattered merchants, so there must be a conspiracy here.
It's just that Gao Hu couldn't figure it out, what kind of conspiracy was this? The border city has been under their surveillance before, until the Middle-earth rebels suddenly attacked and surrounded the border city at night, and the border city was out of their "sight", if there is a conspiracy, it is yesterday, but yesterday the people of Middle-earth killed each other, and the fight was very "hot", there should be no time to play any conspiracy. What's more, last night, the merchants in the border market not only managed to break through, but also took all their belongings, which made people very confused. The target of the Middle-earthites must be money, and even if they want to carry out any conspiracy, they should be directed at the goods of the border city, not their group of horse thieves. The horse thief is a single, and he has nothing to ask for, except for his life, that is, the war horse that sits down is worth a few dollars. Could it be that the people of Middle-earth went to great lengths to dig a trap just to kill the horse thief and seize the warhorse? This is ridiculous.
The leaders of the horse thieves such as Di Luo Ba's Nest, Red Bean Tieyi, Hu Yanjian and Jingjiang Liujin Fei also saw the unusualness and decisively dispelled the idea of attacking. The rebels in Middle-earth were driven out of the fortress, and the primary goal was, of course, to loot the border markets and loot supplies, so there was no reason for the merchants to flee with their belongings and spit out the fat in their mouths. Taking a step back, if the rebels in Middle-earth had other plans to use these merchants and wealth as bait, then who were they targeting? Apparently it should be the southeast tooth banner of the moraine, not these worthless horse thieves.
The strange scene in front of him made Gao Hu and the other horse thieves retreat in fear, but the current property was too tempting, and they didn't want to give up, so Gao Hu came up with a countermeasure, don't attack the Shangjia army first, retreat slowly first, keep a certain distance from the overall situation of Shangjia, and at the same time maintain a high degree of vigilance against the Middle-earth rebels who are following behind the Shangjia army, just in case of accidents.
Gao Hu sent his cronies to the north to inquire about the news in Yaqi, to see if the Turks on the other side of Yaqi had gathered the armies of various tribes to go south. The Turks were too strong, and in terms of the strength of the horse thief coalition, it was not enough to plug the Turks' teeth.
Of course, this is the worst-case scenario, which means that the Turks and the Middle-earths may have to fight against each other, which means that the Civil War may break out, which means that their living conditions may be even worse. However, Gao Hu believes that the Middle-earth people are exhausted from the eastward expedition to Goguryeo for two consecutive years, and they must recuperate for a while to recover, and then launch a civil war. This can be seen from the fact that it was not the army of the Middle-earth Guard, but a rebel army of Middle-earth, that the Middle-earth people did not show signs of provoking war, but had the meaning of "stirring up the situation", and used the situation outside the fortress to cut off the north-south exchange, so as to achieve the goal of containing and weakening the Turks. So Gao Hu? The raid was more optimistic, he told the horse thief leaders, don't be in a hurry, be patient and look for opportunities, if the purpose of the Middle-earth rebels out of the fortress is to "disrupt the situation", then they will not go deep alone, let alone risk a war with the Turks to enter the banks of the Lightning River to threaten the safety of the tooth banner, so Gao Hu judged that the Middle-earth rebels will not chase for too long, as long as the Middle-earth rebels stop the pace of pursuit, the horse thieves coalition can attack.
On the morning of the fifth day of the ninth month, Li Fengyun led the Fengfeng army to leave Yanziyuan, followed by the army of Shangjia, and advanced into the depths of the Saiwai.
On the same day, Li Zixiong sat in Yanziyuan and commanded the armies to continue to surround Huaihuang City.
On the same day, Zhou Zhong and Lai Yuan, the commanders of the right side, led the Yu cavalry into Yanziyuan and joined Li Zixiong.
On the afternoon of the same day, the commander-in-chief Hai Dongqing led the Fourth Army of the alliance out of the fortress and joined the main force.
At the same time, the Governor Han Shige led the leopard cavalry army to approach Yehuling, and it was estimated that they could reach Yanziyuan around midnight.
At the same time, the king of Qi, accompanied by Po Liuhan Maha, was leading his army to the Great Wall, which was close to Daning City.
On the sixth day of September, the lightning river is seven waters, and the southeast tooth flag is moraine.
On the way south to Yanbei, Butler Ashnasimo received a secret letter from Jujia Andrier. After reading the secret documents, Ashina Simo did not hesitate, and immediately decided to give up going south, turn the horse's head, and gallop to the tooth flag.
At dusk, Ashina Simo returned to Qishuibo, and when he walked into Ashina's big tent in a hurry, the first thing he saw was the secret document that Ashina held in his hand, which suddenly made Ashina Simo have a sense of foreboding, and immediately asked without thinking, "Is it news from the northeast?" What is the urgency of Buli? ”
Ashina saw Ashina Simo suddenly return, without any surprise on his face, as if he had expected him to return halfway. Ashina Simo's mind flashed, and he knew that he had guessed wrong, so he pointed to the secret document in Ashina's hand and asked eagerly, "Andriol's secret report?" ”
Ashina nodded aggressively, "There is no news from Bu Lishe, and there is no urgent report from the northeast, so the people of Middle-earth should not have launched an attack yet." After a moment's hesitation, Ashina added aggressively, "Or, they're about to attack." ”
Ashina Simo shook his head and sighed bitterly, and after sitting down, he took out Andriol's secret letter from his arms, "Shi Shu Huxi must have also received this news. ”
"It's his usual style, and it's ********." Ashina sneered, "Why didn't you kill him?" After so many years and a lot of manpower and material resources, why didn't you kill him? Shi Shu Huxi once swore in the tooth tent that he was dead, completely dead, and would never plague the desert again, but today Andriol said that he is still alive, not only alive, but also brought tens of thousands of troops, how can this be explained? ”
"The ghost is not gone, what a nightmare." Ashina Simo was very depressed, "Who would have thought that he would once again escape from Innate, and what is especially surprising is that he has become the number one thief in Middle-earth." Ashina Simo shook his head again and again, sighing, "The white-haired thief is the knife, the knife is the white-haired thief, we should think of it, we should have some doubts." ”
"Our opponent is not him, but Pei Shiju." Ashina looked solemn and said in a low tone, "He's just a knife in Pei Shiju's hand, he is not terrible, what is terrible is Pei Shiju, there are too many such sharp knives in Pei Shiju's hands." ”
"Pei Shiju is too powerful, he has no last resort." Ashina Simo shook his head and sighed again, very helpless, "It seems that the tooth tent's prediction of the future situation is correct, but Shi Shu is very secret, and he doesn't count that the white-haired thief is a knife." ”
"It's too big a variable to be expected." Ashina said aggressively, "Who would have thought that the knife would hide from the sky and cross the sea, run back to Middle-earth to raise the flag and rebel, pull up a team, and complete the goal that he could not achieve outside the fortress, and now he has tens of thousands of troops, and there is the support of Pei Shiju behind him, and his strength can be imagined, in this case, his first goal after leaving the fortress must be revenge." ”
"Andriol knows that Shi Shu Huxi is in the Tooth Banner and in the Lightning River, so it is certain that when he knows this news, he will definitely kill him violently." Ashina Simo shook his hand at Ashina, "Don't be lucky, immediately order the evacuation, order all tribes to retreat north immediately, and don't fight him head-on." In order to take revenge, he can do anything, and if we take the initiative to fight him, we will be right in his hands, and we can just provoke a civil war, so the consequences will be serious and uncontrollable. ”
Ashina frowned, "Shi Shu Huxi is a trouble. ”
Time is urgent, if Shi Shu Huxi deliberately obstructs, and the knife is rapidly going north, the two sides will collide head-on nine times out of ten and start a fight, although the Turks will not necessarily lose, and even have a great chance of winning, but the knife is a madman who does not want to die, what can you do if you fight with a madman who does not want to die?
"Winter is coming soon, and when it snows heavily, the sword must retreat, otherwise he will be completely annihilated, in this case, of course, we will avoid the enemy's edge and patiently look for a good opportunity to destroy the enemy." Ashina Simo waved his hand and said in a firm tone, "If Shi Shu Huxi deliberately causes trouble, we might as well come and kill someone with a knife." ”
