Under the conscription of Buli set Ashinaluer, the Batu Department and the Sutai Department of the Xia tribe, located on both sides of the Heihe River, quickly assembled and controlled the strings to Raole, but because of the bad weather, the families lived in scattered places, and it took time for the army to assemble, so the two parts that took the lead in the Yaqi were less than 2,000 horses, but fortunately, they were the main force of the tribe to control the strings, and the strength was acceptable.

Batu Chieftain Batu Luwei and Sutai Chieftain Sutai Brudan successively visited Ashina Duer.

Before, the two of them received a conscription order from Bu Lishe, and when they heard that the Xi people had gone north to attack the Khitan again, stormed the Shaolang River, and surrounded the capital of the Yaolin tribe, Wudan City, they already suspected that something was wrong with Anzhou, and it was not a major event that was not conducive to the Turkic Khanate. The current Xi people have neither the ability nor the conditions to attack the Khitan again, let alone attack the Yaoran Division, and directly burn the flames of war under the noses of the Song Moya Banner, deliberately provocative, so there must be a major change behind this.

The two rushed to the tooth banner as fast as they could, asking about the specific situation, and the current situation turned out to be far worse than they thought.

According to the analysis and inference of the tooth banner, the Middle Earth army that invaded Anzhou, ten of the best have defeated the Turkic army that rescued the southeast Yaqi of Anzhou, completely occupied Anzhou, and then took advantage of the victory to attack, and went north to attack the Khitan, of which the Xi army should be a partial division, to attack the remote division on both sides of the Shaolang River to effectively contain the Turkic control of the Song Desert Tooth Banner, so as to help the Middle Earth army to advance eastward to the water of the Tuo Suchen, attack the remote and ambush departments, and inflict heavy losses on the Khitan. However, the goal of the Middle-earth people must be more than one Khitan, and after the Middle-earth people have finished fighting the Khitan, they will inevitably turn their horses' heads and cross the weak Luoshui, and storm the Songmoya Banner and the Xia tribes, so as to achieve the goal of capturing the entire northeast.

Hearing that the army of Middle-earth was surging, Baturuwei and Sudebrudan were secretly frightened and had a heavy heart.

The three major ethnic groups of Donghu Xi, Khitan and Xia, although they stand on their feet, but their strength is high, among which the Xi people adjacent to the Great Wall of Middle Earth are the strongest, and then the further north, the weaker their strength, the Khitan is second, and the Xia people are the weakest. This is directly related to the harshness of the living environment, and it is difficult to solve the problem of survival, so how can we talk about development and growth? It is precisely because the strength of the Xia tribe is the weakest, and it may be annexed by the strong at any time, so the tribes of the Xia tribe are the most dependent on the Turks, and the Turks also need a loyal other tribe to balance the Xi and Khitan, in order to control and stabilize the northeast to the greatest extent, so the two sides take what they need, the Turks put the Song Moya Banner in the territory of the Xia tribe, and unite the tribes of the Xia tribe to stabilize the momentum of the Eastern Hu, while the Xia people seek to survive and develop under the protection of the Turks.

However, two years ago, when China and Turkey conquered Goguryeo, the regional balance was broken, and the three-legged dominance of Donghu was shaken. Under the two unfavorable factors of the Khitan being hit hard by the heavy defeat of its ally Goguryeo and the border of the Chen soldiers of Middle-earth, the Xi people were in deep crisis, and under the instigation of Middle-earth and the tacit consent of the Turks, the ambitions of the Xi people swelled rapidly, and the Xi people were eager to go south to the weak Luoshui to seek growth in order to speed up the pace of development, so they joined forces to "push", and the Xi people launched an attack on the Khitan.

The praying mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind, the Xi people have long been prepared for this, but they are dedicated to guarding against the Turks, and the Turks and the Xia people also regard themselves as yellow birds, planning to make profits after the Xi people and the Khitan are both defeated.

In this situation, the protagonists of the Northeast game quickly became the Middle Earth and the Turks, and the three major ethnic groups of Donghu could only struggle to the death in the struggle between the two strong people, so the Xia people knew that the Xi people and the Khitan had a defeat and a defeat, and they did not dare to go south to weaken Luoshui to take advantage of the fire to rob, the reason is that before the game of the two strong people did not distinguish the winner, their best countermeasure was to preserve their strength and wait and see what happened.

So, are the two sides of the game now decided?

Obviously not, even if the Middle-earth army defeated the Turkic army in the southeast of the Yaqi on the battlefield of Anzhou, it would be a phased victory, after all, Middle-earth and Anzhou are only separated by a Great Wall, with the right time and place, and there is a calculus, well-prepared, and the soldiers are fast, and the various armies deployed by the Turkic Khanate in the south of the moraine are too far away from the northeast, and they are not ready to support, so even if the Shibi Khan and the Ya Tent issued a support order, the troops were dispatched, and the reinforcements from all walks of life also tried their best to overcome various unfavorable factors such as bad weather and speed up the speed of support, but it is basically unrealistic to reach the Northeast before the end of the year.

Since the two sides of the game have not yet decided the winner, and the real big war is still to come, whether it is the Turkic army of the Song Desert Tooth Banner or the tribes of the Xia tribe, in the face of the fierce Middle-earth army, they should be passive defense, stick to the weak Luoshui, preserve their strength, and wait patiently for the opportunity to counterattack At the same time, they will use the Khitans to drag the Middle-earth army south of the weak Luoshui, and exchange the sacrifice of the Khitan tribes for precious time.

Baturuwei and Sudebrudan truthfully expressed their thoughts and had no intention of actively rescuing the remote troops.

"As far as the current situation is concerned, I am afraid that passive defense will not work in my favor." As the military staff officer of the Tooth Banner, Dagan Ashdetegul did not bully the weak and domineering, but was calm and patiently persuasive.

At the critical juncture, it is very important to work together, although the overall strength of the Xia tribe is limited, but the number of control strings of the Song Desert Tooth Banner is also limited, and the current crisis cannot be solved by the strength of the Tooth Banner alone, and the four tribes of the Shan tribe, such as Polo, Huochi, Black Wolf, and Lud, are far away from four or five hundred miles or even thousands of miles, and they will not be able to catch up with the Tooth Banner in the short term, so only the two tribes of Batu and Sutai can really fight side by side with the Tooth Banner, which is also the reason why the Turks are "harmonious".

"At present, although we do not know when the reinforcements will start attacking Anju, according to normal calculations, it is conservatively estimated that the reinforcements will not attack until at least the beginning of spring next year. It's just that our reinforcements are coming, how can the people of Middle-earth turn a blind eye? It is inevitable that it will also respond positively, and more troops will be sent into Anju. ”

Asdetegul pointed to the flat pine forest on the map, "The pine forest is the closest passage from the desert into Anzhou, if the Middle-earth people are heavily intercepted, supplemented by the geographical advantage, even if our reinforcements break through successfully, they will have to pay a huge price." Then he moved his fingers up and stopped on the territory of Far East Murowei, "If our reinforcements detour through Murowei to enter the north bank of the weak Luoshui, they will need to make a detour of more than 5,000 miles, which will take several months, and the difficulties can be imagined. ”

Baturuwei and Sudebrudan looked at each other and were worried.

Although Ashdetegul did not say it explicitly, but the meaning is very straightforward, can not save the hope of saving the Northeast crisis on the reinforcements, once the Khitan is defeated, the lips and teeth are cold, the people of Middle-earth will inevitably cross the weak Luoshui, although the Song Desert Tooth Banner is not guaranteed, the tribes of the Xia tribe are also difficult to preserve, a defeat, the northeast region centered on the weak Luoshui is owned by Middle-earth, so that the general trend has gone, the goal of the desert is not to recapture the Northeast, but to fight with Middle-earth to the death. If the situation develops to that point, not to mention the development of the Xia tribe, even survival will be a problem.

"Therefore, if we want to save this crisis, we must take the initiative to attack, we must save the Khitan, unite the Khitan tribes, block the attack of the Middle-earth, and prevent the Middle-earthers from sweeping the weak Luoshui, so that we can only wait for our reinforcements to kill, and the Middle-earthers will be attacked by the enemy, and they can only withdraw to Anzhou as a last resort, so that the crisis can be solved."

Speaking of this, Ashdetegul smiled slightly, and said with a pun, "This crisis is a disaster for the Khitan, and they have to fight to the death, but for you, it is a once-in-a-lifetime development opportunity, and if you miss it, it will be difficult to find it again." ”

Baturuwei and Sudebrudan understood and were silent in thought.

The Middle Earth people attacked north, the Khitan people bore the brunt, if the Song Mo Tooth Banner and the Xia people did not rescue in time, the Khitan people were desperate, they would inevitably surrender, and they were full of resentment towards the Song Mo Tooth Banner and the Xia people who did not save them, the result can be imagined, they would inevitably turn against each other and help the Middle Earth people attack them, so the idea of using the Khitan people to block and consume the Middle Earth people is very good, but it cannot be taken for granted that the Khitan people will fight in the face of a strong enemy, and would rather die than surrender, which is pure self-deception and unrealistic.

In addition, Ashdetitgul has a very correct analysis, there is a premise for the desert to support the Northeast, that is, the Northeast still has the hope of regaining it, if the Northeast has been lost, the Song Desert Tooth Banner has been defeated, and the three parts of the Northeast have also been destroyed, and the entire Northeast is Middle-earth, then who else can the desert support? If the two sides were to fight, it would not be a regional skirmish, but a Civil War. Therefore, uniting with the Khitan and making concerted efforts to prevent the Middle-earths from capturing both sides of the weak Luoshui is the key to saving this crisis.

"After this crisis is over, if we want to go south, will the tooth flag support it?" Baturuwei hesitated for a long time and asked.

Bulishea Ashina Jar, Tutun Ashina Zaran, and Dagan Ashdetegul looked at each other and nodded in unison. After this battle is fought, the Khitan people will shed their skin if they do not die, especially the tribes such as Yaoran, Yaolai and Izumu who are fighting head-on, will definitely suffer heavy losses and collapse, which is a good opportunity to take advantage of the fire to rob, fall into the well, and eat and wipe it out. If the Xia people can seize this opportunity, they will definitely be able to solve the big problem of survival and development.

"To this, the tooth flag can make a commitment." Ashina said solemnly.

"If we annex the Harabu Division, will Bu Lishi also support it?" Sudebrudan asked.

If the Batu Department and the Sutai Department want to develop southward, the primary target is the Shaolang River, which is the territory of the Khitan Yao Yuan Department, and the Yao Yuan Department is loyal to the Yaqi, and the Yao Yuan Yan Mo is also dead set on Ashina Duer. The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and if Ashina deliberately protects the Yao Clan, their development in the south will inevitably be hindered.

Bu Lishi smiled on his face, but he was very unhappy in his heart. The chiefs of the two small tribes are so strong that they can rob themselves by fire at the moment of crisis, how can it be justified that they still coerce themselves.

"If you can eat it, I will support it." Bulisheh smiled, "However, Udan City wants to give it to me." If you go south, of course the tooth banner will also move south. ”

Both sides take what they need, and they are all happy.

Considering that the remote troops were caught off guard and had no time to recruit the control strings from the thousands of tents on both sides of the Shaolang River, resulting in the defensive forces of Wudan City being very weak and in danger of falling at any time, after persuading the two divisions of Batu and Sutai to fight south, Ashdetegul immediately proposed that the three thousand control strings of the tooth banner and the nearly 2,000 cavalry of the two divisions of Batu and Sutai form a selection of vanguard troops, and immediately go south to rescue the remote troops of the weak Luoshui.

Baturuwei and Sutai Bruudan were a little hesitant, because Bu Lisheh had already made a promise, the ambition of the two was inflated, their greed had increased greatly, and they couldn't wait to eat the Yao Yuanbu, but if they wanted to seize that fleeting fighter on the ever-changing battlefield, strength was the greatest guarantee, and if they didn't have the strength, let alone eat others, even they couldn't protect themselves, so the two planned to wait a few more days, and wait until all the controls in the tribe came, and then go south.

"How many days?" Ashina asked asking.

Baturuwei and Sudebrudan looked at each other and replied very tacitly, "Three days at most." ”

"Nope." Ashina Duer vetoed, "Tomorrow morning, I will personally lead the Xuan Feng army to the south, and you will lead the army to accompany you." Then he pointed his finger at Ashdetegul, "Three days later, Dagan led the two thousand Tooth Banner to control the strings, and all the troops who rushed to the Tooth Banner, and quickly went south to rendezvous. He pointed to Ashina Zaran again, "Tutun stayed behind to guard the Tooth Banner, and all the departments that came from both sides of the Wolf River also stayed at the Tooth Banner for the time being, waiting for my order." ”

Ashinazharan, Ashdetgul, Baturuwei and Sudebrudan bowed down to receive the order.

Ashina Duer waved his hand, "Urgently summon Yaoyuan to Bahrain to discuss the plan to rush to the aid of Yaoyuan." ”
