Chapter 113

beast of prey

The great map was spread out from the king's tent, and the people arose and came to it

The border between the Uighurs and the Inujon is complex, with both mountains and fortresses, and now the wolf pawns are completely defeated, and a large area behind the border is an open area, which is not dangerous to defend, and can be driven straight by the coalition forces, and in the previous war, the Inujon troops and horses stationed in the rear have been reinforced to the front line, and now they are almost undefended, there are no decent teams, at best, there are only some stragglers left, and there is no need to even think about it.

But four hundred miles east from the border, there is a big mountain across the grassland, called 'Chenling', the terrain is dangerous and there is a strong pass to stabilize the town and the lack of mountains, now the dog Rong is gathering the remnants of the army, try to organize the troops to gather here, and build the second line of defense to block the coalition army after the border line.

The 400-mile open plain between the border and Chenling must be in the pocket of the coalition army, but now that the dog Rong army is 'in no danger to defend', the coalition army will also face the same problem in the future: as long as the dog Rong is relieved, he can go west to Chenling at any time and disturb the area occupied by the coalition army.

Ah Xia stretched out his hand and pointed to Chenling on the map, and slowly spoke: "If the Great Khan wants to consolidate the victory, and the Shamin wants to live peacefully, he must defeat Chenling, use Chenling as a new border, garrison heavy troops, rely on the mountainous terrain to defend the fortress, and refuse to seal the wolf pawns in the east, only in this way can this battle be completed." ”

It's a very simple reason, everyone present understands that the territory obtained after crossing the border is now occupied but not stable, and it will be very difficult to defend it in the future, and it will have to be conquered no matter what.

"It's not a good fight." Sunrise Dongfang took over the topic: "East of Chenling is the hinterland of the grassland, and the throat is rushing, how can they let go easily." However, the Western Front was broken, the wolves suffered heavy casualties, and now the dogs and horses gathered in Chenling are limited, and the combined forces of you and me are full of morale, and it is a good time to attack bravely, and the strength is here, and the enemy can't help but let go! ”

Although it was a fierce battle, it was still a chance to win.

After setting the tone for the upcoming battle, the Great Khan gave Shamin another attitude: "After taking Chenling, my son-in-law will stay in Xiongguan forever, and his life will not allow the wolf to go further west, so as to protect the peaceful world for the Sha brothers." As he spoke, the Great Khan smiled at King Baiyin, and his tone was sincere: "The conditions of the Sand tribe were difficult in the past, and after such a great war, they should cultivate well for a period of time, and the Uighurs should do their best to help, and one day you and I will join forces to march eastward, and simply wipe out the wolf from the world of Middle-earth." ”

Following the interface of its own Uighur courtiers, some details were roughly described, and the meaning of the Great Khan was expressed more clearly: the future garrison of Chenling would be undertaken by the Uighurs alone, and then a large area of territory would be carved out for the Sha people from the territory they had now conquered, and they would be autonomous and self-reliant.

The Uighurs will never interfere with how the Sha people will deal with themselves in the future, whether they will continue to be so loose or establish a state, and the two tribes will be a brotherly alliance in any case.

To freedom, help recuperation, and also be responsible for protection, the promise given by Sunrise East makes the sand people have nothing to say, only full of gratitude.

The right prime minister's class sat listlessly on the side, but the old man occasionally looked at the Great Khan's gaze, and quietly brought a little praise: setting the tone for the future war is to prepare the Shamin; and then promised what would happen after the war, and sent a reassuring pill to King Baiyin, and the two statements before and after were just right...... It is difficult to say whether this Great Khan will be a Ming monarch and a male lord in the future, but Master Ban can be sure that this person is really a bit smart.

The foreshadowing is almost done in the front, and it is logical to talk carefully about how the two sides should cooperate and fight a key battle, but what Sunrise Dongfang, Ah Xia and others did not expect in any way is that Xie Zimiao stepped forward and said seriously: "Please ask the Great Khan to withdraw his troops." ”

Sunrise Dongfang also said that he had heard it wrong: "You say it again? ”

"The Great Khan of intercession withdraws his troops." Xie Zimiao is more realistic than everyone thinks, and he really repeats it word for word

All the Uighurs, including Asha, frowned...... Even though the Uighurs and the dogs had been fighting for more than a hundred years, and the sword war was almost never really interrupted, and a victory like this one was rare, everyone was in high spirits, and when they were about to do another big job and really tear a piece of fat from the wolf, the porcelain doll said that they would not fight.

The sunrise in the east calmed down, and turned his eyes to look at the commander of the Sand Clan, King Baiyin. The latter understood what he meant, and opened his mouth to respond: "Miss Xie has already told me about this, and her decision is that all the people in the sand will obey it. ”

"I have carefully calculated, in as little as forty days, as long as sixty days, I will definitely be able to take Chenling ......" The Great Khan looked back at Xie Zimiao with a face: "The war on the grassland will be delayed for two more months at most, and then Da Mo Erlang will be able to wave his army south and attack Fangou to relieve the difficulties of Nanli." Nanli should still be able to hold on. ”

The porcelain doll is a person from Song Yang, so she naturally wants to help Nanli and hopes that the Uighurs can turn the spearhead to deal with Tubo as soon as possible, so as to relieve Nanli's pressure. Speaking of this, the Great Khan smiled: "And again... Have you ever thought that I have to fight Chenling, but also to be able to send troops to Tibet smoothly. ”

Not long ago, the Great Khan destroyed the temple of the ancestors, and only then did he get an excuse to attack the dogs, and a big war broke out immediately, and the method was used quite well, but there were also smart people among the Uighurs, and some people had long suspected whether the culprit of this fire was a wolf, but because the war was going well, no one said anything for the time being. After all, they were all Uighur courtiers, and everyone hoped that the Uighurs would become stronger and better, and as long as this victory could be consolidated, no one would go to death to pursue the matter in the future.

In addition, the desert warriors fought a huge battle against the dogs, even though the Uighurs had cultivated well over the years, the country was rich and strong, and the army was strong, and the consumption of the great war also had a great impact on the country.

Unless the war of the dog Rong really comes to an end and a brilliant victory is achieved, it will be very difficult for the desert to send troops to Tibet.

Sunrise Dongfang's words were not explained too clearly, but it was really a true sentence, and he would not easily say it to others, which showed that he had not seen porcelain dolls.

Xie Zimiao nodded first, but then shook his head again: "I can figure out the truth of the Great Khan, but... Or plead for mercy and the Uighurs to strike the army. ”

I don't know if I was angry with her, the Great Khan smiled: "Then tell me your reasoning, why do you want me to quit the army?" ”

"After the Great Living Buddha died violently in the temple, Dayan and Tubo are a family." Xie Zimiao gave the answer directly... Song Yang thought of the things and porcelain dolls had already thought of them. But Sunrise Dongfang doesn't know the true relationship between Yan Guoshi and Emperor Yan, he is the same as the Living Buddha of the Western Regions and the Grassland Shan Yu, only the Buddha Lord of Dayan and the Emperor are really incompatible, they are all blindfolded by this weight, no matter how shrewd their brains are, they don't want to see the context of the whole thing, and they were immediately startled by the amazing words of the porcelain doll, and his voice was low and serious: "The stakes are very high, don't talk about it, unless you have convincing evidence in your hand." ”

"There is no evidence," Xie Zimiao shook his head: "But I have a point, just as convincing." ”

At this point, she closed her mouth for a moment, her gaze fluttering over the Uighurs who had come to the Sha camp with her Great Khan.

Sunrise Dongfang knew what she meant, and waved his hand and said: "It's okay to say it directly, the people who can come here with me are my relatives and brothers, and Song Yang can also treat them as brothers." ”

Everyone sat down again, and then Xie Zimiao's expression was calm, and his sentences were clear, starting from the waterlogging epidemic in Hongcheng and Tan Guide's heavy troops, and first carefully explained the relationship between Yanding and Jingtai; Then he analyzed all the things that happened in Middle-earth before and after the violent death of the Great Living Buddha, and finally came to the conclusion that Tubo and Dayan had been colluded, and it was a long story.

Just like Song Yang said to Xiao Yu before, 'I'm not afraid of wordiness, as long as I can explain things clearly', the same is true for porcelain dolls now.

After she finished speaking, the faces of the Uighurs were shocked, and the truth of the porcelain dolls was laid out one by one, irrefutable, and they could not help but believe it.

However, in addition to the shock, the Uighur beautiful warrior Asha also had some doubts: what did the Tubo and Dayan become one family had to do with preventing the Uighur army from attacking Chenling.

Mrs. Bo handed over the water, and the porcelain doll drank several sips in a row to dissipate the dryness in her throat, and when she spoke again, she was not in a hurry to explain why the Great Khan withdrew his troops, but changed the conversation and turned from the major events of Middle Earth to Shamin: "Before the return of Song Yang and Baiyin, the Shamin clan had been controlled by the national teacher, and they were preparing to send troops at that time, and the intention of Yanding was not difficult to understand. ”

In the early stage of Yanding's assassination of Bojie and subduing Tubo, in order to seek the stability of the plateau in the future, the Tubo rebels and the most heartfelt elite troops of the Great Living Buddha were deceived to Dayan, although everything was premeditated, but the entry of ghost soldiers still made Dayan's western frontier turbulent for a while, and for Dayan's other neighbor Dog Rong, this is a good opportunity to take advantage, if the wolf pawn takes advantage of the situation to go south to attack, Dayan will have some losses more or less, which of course the national teacher does not want to see, so he used a million gold to buy 100,000 soldiers from Dog Rong to fight back to the Eagles.

However, only 100,000 soldiers were transferred to the dog Rong could not be completely involved, and the wolf still had the strength to invade Yan in the south, so Yanding 'activated' the Sand army again.

Although the purpose was different, the final result of Song Yang asking Sha Min to send troops to help the Great Khan was exactly what the national teacher wanted: the wolf was dragged to death by the battle at the border pass, and he had no time to invade Dayan in the south.

The battle of revenge for the brothers in the east of the sunrise, and the battle of Song Yang's meritorious deeds in launching the Sand clan to help the righteous brothers, are all helping the national teacher, and it is a big favor. If you look further, the effect of the vicious battle between the desert, the sand people and the grassland is even better than what Yanding expected: the first stage of the battle dog was defeated miserably, and the wolf is making every effort to prepare for the battle of Chenling.

In the calculations of the national teacher, even with the help of the Shamin, the Uighurs and the Uighurs would have to be entangled for a long time, after all, it should be the Uighurs who made the first move, and the Uighurs were unprepared to fall into passivity first, and then slowly regained the situation, and the war fell into a tug-of-war, which took a long time, and took advantage of this time to "strengthen and consolidate" the Tibetans and Dayan. However, he didn't expect the Uighurs to strike first, but instead they were caught off guard by the dogs, and the combat power of the Sand tribe was beyond imagination...... The new defeat on the Western Front, the heavy troops rushed to Chenling, and now the interior is empty, and the wolves on the grassland have become a lot weaker, which is not a great opportunity for Yanding, Jingtai, and Dayan.

Mr. Bo interjected at the right time, and he always said politely for a few words before getting to the point, and said to Sunrise Dongfang: "Most of the elites in the puppies followed me to the grassland 'letter soldiers' to serve the Great Khan, but the monitoring of the Yan Realm we... Oh, it's us, we don't dare to relax, just got a rumor a few days ago, Yan is quietly transferring troops and horses in northern Xinjiang, don't think about it, Jingtai is ready to fight wolves. ”

Ah Xia finally couldn't bear it anymore, coughed, and asked, "Wouldn't it be better for us for Yan to move troops against the grassland, and the wolves will be attacked on both sides?" But this time, without waiting for the porcelain doll to explain something, the Great Khan shook his head first, and by now he had fully understood what Xie Zimiao meant.

At first glance, it seems that the eagle has injured the hungry wolf, and the tiger in the Central Plains has shown its claws and is ready to bite the wolf meat. A similar situation is not uncommon in the history of Middle-earth in the last hundred years, between the four great powers, there is nothing surprising, as an eagle, not only will not resist the tiger to share the food, but will also clap his hands to welcome, after all, the wolf meat that the tiger bites is originally not eaten by the eagle, but because the tiger also comes to fight the wolf, the eagle can still get more fruits of victory...... But this time it is different, Great Yan and Tubo have become a family, and now the Yan Kingdom is no longer a tiger, it has become a behemoth in Middle-earth, a terrifying monster far superior to the eagle in terms of size and strength.

Now if the coalition forces still attack Chenling and continue to inflict heavy losses on the dogs, then they are really helping and helping the national teacher and Jingtai a lot.

At the root of this matter, if the Uighurs and Dayans really divided the grasslands equally, the Uighurs would not be far from extinction...

From the beginning to the present, Xie Zimiao's voice has been calm, and it is difficult to see the waves: "I ask the Great Khan to withdraw his troops, but the battle of Chenling has to continue on the surface, and recently the Sand Clan will drive the sand to march and put on an attack posture against Chenling, and the enemy only has rolling sand and dust in his eyes, but he can't see our real military appearance." ”

Sunrise Dongfang was not stupid, but after gradually figuring out the cause and effect of the matter, his mind became more and more active, and he nodded: "My subordinate son returned to China quietly, but the wolf and Da Yan did not know that our army had withdrawn, and the decisive battle of Chenling was imminent...... The wolf doesn't matter, the key is Dayan, and we can't let Yan know that we won't fight. ”

Xie Zimiao said lightly: "So Jingtai will continue to wave his troops north, and it is estimated that after sending troops, he will send an envoy to the Great Khan to send a letter to discuss the plan of the two countries to attack in the northwest and divide the grassland." ”

The Great Khan laughed: "I can't think of a reason to refuse, so I naturally happily agreed to Dayan." ”

"As a result, there will be a big battle between Dog Rong and Dayan, Dayan is prepared, Dog Rong also has to take care of Chenling, the wolf will be very passive when the fight just starts, but it doesn't matter, when the time comes, we will disperse the sand and dust, and at the same time the sand people will also withdraw the army, and the dog Rong will be overjoyed to find that the pressure on the western frontier has disappeared, and the wolf king will be able to concentrate on dealing with the Yan soldiers." As he spoke, the corners of Xie Zimao's lips hooked, revealing a smile, weak but bewitching.
