342 After the Storm
"Woo woo"
"Crackle, crackle, crackle"
The sound of ghosts crying wolves and the loud sound of firecrackers raged everywhere in the vast land of the northwest, and the whole sky had already turned into a dim scene, as if the end of the world was coming.
The cause of all this is nothing else, but the most feared natural disasters of people, tornadoes, although usually this northwest place, is also a perennial gale, but like this tornado scene, it is also very rare, the only lucky, although the northwest land is wide, but because of the evil strategy of the environment, so that the land is sparsely populated, although this huge tornado will cause some damage, but it will not cause too much loss, and the people living here have already summed up some experience, Every time before the wind, we have prepared in advance.
Looking at the frightening scene in the distance through the clairvoyant mirror, Shi Lei and the others all had a happy look in their hearts, if they hadn't been reminded by the local people in advance, so as to transfer the army and deviate from the original marching route, I am afraid that they would have been blown by the huge tornado and didn't know where to go, and more importantly, if they passed such a disaster, their army would definitely suffer huge losses, not to mention that the whole army would be wiped out and suffered heavy casualties. After that, let alone going to attack and stop the Turpan army, I am afraid that after the Turpan people know, they will go to the hinterland of Shaanxi more quickly, if it really reaches that point, things will really become out of control.
"It's so dangerous, it's really dangerous, if it weren't for the tribe that was migrating, I'm afraid we would really have to 'die before we get out of the army', they all say that there will be a blessing after the catastrophe, and even this kind of disaster we have already avoided, it seems that this time we want to exterminate the Turpan army will definitely be very smooth." Standing next to Shi Lei, looking at the scene of the storm raging in the distance, Li Guo on the side couldn't help but say, this time, after knowing that Shi Lei was going to personally lead the army to the northwest to resist the invasion of Turpan, Li Guo, who had never moved at all in Sichuan, couldn't help it, and after begging a few times, he was transferred back by Shi Lei, but he didn't let him lead the troops, but took him with him and became a personal guard.
As soon as Li Guo's words were finished, he saw Shi Lei, who was still full of doubts just now, suddenly thought of something, his face suddenly became happy, he patted his thigh, and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, this is the way, God really helps me, I didn't expect that the official was thinking about what way to make the people of Turpan believe in this matter, and God happened to send such a great opportunity, come, come quickly, immediately convene all the generals, and discuss the matter in the middle of the big tent." ”
In the Liangzhou Acropolis, although it has been nearly a month since the invasion, and it has been more than ten days since the Liangzhou Guard, but Amer Khan did not make a big move again, after those Liangzhou Guards, he stopped, except for occasionally letting his subordinates go to some surrounding villages where the Ming people have settled to loot, he did not make any additional moves, the reason why this is so is because Amer Khan also knows that it is a very wrong thing for him to rashly send troops to attack Huaxia this time, But since the matter has happened, there is no way to undo it, but he is unwilling to rashly bury the elite army under his command again.
Therefore, during this time, he seemed to be indifferent, but in fact, he had spread spies all over the northwest, in order to find out the situation of the Ming army in Shaanxi, although he was very dissatisfied with Amer Khan's approach, but Amer Khan did not pay attention to him at all, just perfunctory.
Through the intelligence transmitted by the spies during this time, Amer Khan also learned about a Shaanxi court that was different from what Tu Slow said, he understood the strength of the Ming army in Shaanxi, and also understood the richness of China, and even more understood that he was small, although the 50,000 army was already an invincible army in Turpan, but it was too weak for Huaxia to be more than 100,000 and hundreds of thousands of fighting forces, and it was precisely because of this that Amer Khan won the Liangzhou Guard. In the face of the richer Xiningwei, he was indifferent, because, he was not sure if he could take Xiningwei, although Xiningwei only had 5,000 garrisons, but compared with Liangzhou Wei, Xiningwei's city wall was stronger, too thick, if he lost a lot but couldn't take Xiningwei, or in other words, even after taking Xiningwei, he himself suffered heavy losses, at that time, even if he got more things, what was the use, in the face of the powerful army of the Ming army in Shaanxi, They had no strength to resist at all, except for fleeing for their lives in disarray.
Just when Amer Khan was sitting in the hall and thinking carefully about whether he should continue to attack or collect his troops and return, and while he was salvaging a sum of money, he proudly returned to Turpan to be his own king, when he heard a quarrel outside.
Hearing the quarrel, Amer Khan's original train of thought was suddenly interrupted, and in a moment of annoyance, he got up and came to the door, opened the door, and saw a team of guards outside blocking Tu Slow and preventing him from entering, but Tu Slow was very excited and tried to break in, shouting while breaking back.
In order to keep his mind calm, Amer Khan ordered a few days ago that Tu Slow was not allowed to enter, in order not to let Tu Slow disturb his thinking, originally, in this case, Tu Slow these days after being blocked, they all turned around and left, but today they are uncharacteristically making a lot of noise here, things are abnormal that they are demons, seeing this situation, Amer Khan knew in his heart that Tu Slow must have something urgent to see him this time, after having this idea, Amer Khan ordered the guards around him to let them slow in.
Soon, after being released, Tu Slow ran in eagerly, because of a fierce battle with the guards at the door, So, Tu Slow looked very embarrassed, and the clothes on his body became wrinkled, but for these, Tu Slow had no idea at all, when he saw Amer Khan, he suddenly shouted with excitement on his face, "Great joy, great joy, congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king, the king is really lucky, I didn't expect that even such a good thing was touched by the king, If the king can make good use of it this time, I'm afraid the king can really become the new master of this land of thousands of miles. ”
Seeing Tu Slow's excited appearance, Amer Khan knew in his heart that it seemed that Tu Slow had received some good news, but after listening to Tu Slow's compliments, he didn't hear a word of truth, and Amer Khan's heart was a little anxious.
"Master Tu Slow, if you have anything, don't say anything about this kind of meaningless words, after all, for this king, no matter how much you say this, it is not as important as a pound of grain." Amer Khan couldn't help but speak.
Hearing Amer Khan's words, Tu Chu also stopped patting his ass, collected his emotions, and said with an excited look on his face, "King, the villain just received the news from our spies from Xiningwei, saying that the direction of the storm not long ago was on the road of the Ming army in Shaanxi to block the king's army this time, and the Ming army, which was not prepared at all, was completely blown away by that storm, and the team of 100,000 people, only Shi Lei fled to the middle of Xiningwei with more than 10,000 people in embarrassment, and the rest of the people, It's just that I can't see anyone alive, I can't see a corpse when I die, God really helps me, and now in the entire northwest, except for the more than 10,000 Ming troops in Xiningwei, there is no longer any formed army, so to speak, the entire northwest is now a place where the king can gallop. ”
After listening to Tu Slow's words, Amer Khan's heart couldn't help but get excited, for the storm a few days ago, Amer Khan has also gotten the news, but for this news, Amer Khan didn't care at all, for the people of Turpan, this kind of storm is a common thing, in the endless desert or Gobi in Turpan, there will always be several times a year of this powerful storm, compared with the storm in Turpan, this storm is simply too pediatric.
But he couldn't have imagined that it was this inconspicuous storm in his eyes that would have such a big effect, and when he thought of it, it was the Han people who had never seen this kind of storm before, so they had no experience and prepared in advance, so they would end up like this, thinking that the 100,000 elite army was now only more than 10,000 people left, thinking of this, Amer Khan's heart was followed by a burst of happiness, and then, endless joy occupied his heart.
At this time, Amer Khan has only one idea in his heart, that is, to take advantage of this opportunity to take Shi Lei in one fell swoop, if he can really catch Shi Lei, he will not get a huge treasure trove by then, no matter what it is, as long as he wants, he can get it from the Shaanxi court through Shi Lei, and when the time comes, maybe he can really let Shi Lei give him the entire northwest, thinking of this, Amer Khan's heart began to beat violently, and he did not calm down for a long time.
"Lord Tu Slow, what you said is true, the 100,000 troops of the Ming Army in Shaanxi were really all destroyed by the gale, did Shi Lei really just flee to Xining Wei with more than 10,000 people?" Although he was very excited, Amer Khan confirmed to Tu Slow again.
Hearing Amer Khan's words, Tu Slow immediately said, "King, yes, it's true, at the beginning, the villain couldn't believe it, but after repeated inquiries, it was confirmed, the reason why it is so certain is because we are among the people in Xiningwei, there happens to be someone who has seen Shi Lei, therefore, the villain is sure of this matter, and more importantly, through our spies in Xi'an, it has been discovered, and now the news has spread, and the entire Shaanxi court has been completely messed up, Those who are loyal to Shi Lei want to send a large army to protect Shi Lei as soon as possible, but some people disagree, thinking that in this way, the whole Xi'an will become an empty city, and now the two parties are arguing over this matter, so the villain congratulates the king, if the king can take advantage of this good opportunity to take Shi Lei in one fell swoop, then the king will be able to make his wish come true, no matter what he wants to get, he can exchange it through Shi Lei. ”
While saying these words, Tu Slow's heart was very envious and jealous of Amer Khan, originally he flickered Amer Khan from Turpan to attack Shaanxi, he wanted to find trouble for the Shaanxi court, that was with the idea of using it, and throwing it away when he was done, but he never thought that this kind of good thing against the sky would actually let him touch it.
The actual ruler of the Shaanxi court who led the 100,000 troops to the expedition, Shi Lei, would become so embarrassed after a strong wind, and more importantly, the entire northwest is not calm now, and now Turpan's 50,000 army is still standing on the northwest land, so that the Manchu Qing is so ruthless that Shi Lei, who grits his teeth but has no way, may be caught by these rude Turpan people, if this is really the case, then things will become very troublesome.
You know, the current Shaanxi Shi Lei can be said to cover the sky with one hand, if at that time, these Turpan people really broke through Xiningwei and captured Shi Lei, Shi Lei in order to save his life, if he really agreed to them some conditions, then, Shaanxi will definitely be weakened to a certain extent, but if there is a stronger Turpan force in combat effectiveness, it is probably not the reason for the Manchu court.
Of course, these things are just speculations in Tu Slow's heart, for Tu Slow, the most important thing now is how to use these Turpan people to knock down Xining Wei, so as to catch Shi Lei, if it can really be done, then for the Shaanxi Imperial Court, it will be a very major blow, if this is really the case, then the Manchu Imperial Court will be able to make good use of this opportunity, a big blow to the Shaanxi Imperial Court, and even maybe, in the case of internal and external troubles, the Shaanxi Imperial Court will collapse, It is also possible, if that situation really occurs, he will be the hero of the entire Manchu court, and it will not be easy to get promoted and get rich at that time, and maybe even get a knighthood because of this, which will be even more unbelievable.
After getting the determination of Tu Slow, Amer Khan knew that his opportunity had come, although after inquiry, he knew that the city wall of Xiningwei was very thick and tall, which was not proportional to Liangzhou Wei at all, but compared with the benefits after getting Shi Lei, he could still bear a slight loss, and after having this idea, Amer Khan finally made up his mind to attack Xiningwei, so as to capture Shi Lei's determination.
