Chapter 793: Exposed?
Chapter 793 Exposed?
In the spring of March in the south of the Yangtze River, the flowers are red and willow green, but the land in the north is still bitterly cold. Although there is new green tenaciously emerging from under the withered yellow weeds, the decay of the grassland has obscured the vitality of this new green.
Since February, the war on the steppe has taken a turn for the better, and after Ashina Chongli led 5,000 light horsemen into the homeland of the Tiele people, the advantage of the Tiele people gradually dissipated. In the months since they marched south, instead of crushing the Turks as expected, they have lost more than 150,000 horses, a huge loss that is unacceptable to the Tiele tribe.
After all, after losing the fierce battle with the Turks for the supremacy of the steppe, the continuous killing of the Turks reduced the population of the Tiele tribe to a sad number. Especially in the past few decades, every Turkic khanate has raised troops to the Northern Expedition when he was in power, and the purpose of the Northern Expedition is simple, purely to kill the men of the Tiele tribe.
This also led to a constant migration of the Tiele people northward to escape the Turks, and Zamuhe, an ambitious Khan, seized the most opportune opportunity and barely made a mistake. When the Turks were at their weakest, he went south to try to regain the hegemony of the Tiele people, and the chances of success were extremely high, but unfortunately...... The variables appeared in the bodies of two Han people, one named Liu Hongji and the other called Luo Yi.
First of all, Liu Hongji gave advice, coupled with the amazing combat power of the more than 10,000 Han light cavalry, although the Turks were defeated in the initial war, they did not suffer a fatal blow. Just when Zamuhe found an opportunity to annihilate the Turkic army in one fell swoop, Luo Yi took the tiger and heavy armor into Saibei. This was the first time that the Tiger Ben Heavy Armor had gone deep into the grassland to fight, and let the Tiele people know that the cavalry of the Han people was so powerful and unmatched.
It's been so long since that fierce battle, but Zamuhe has never been able to let go.
"Aren't the Turks and Han Chinese enemies?"
Pouring half a bag of liquor into his mouth in one go, Zamuhe's eyes were a little red and asked, "Why do those damn Han people help the Turks?!" Why? Can anyone tell me why! ”
Several of his important generals did not dare to answer, and even if they did, they could not answer. Zamuhe's question is also theirs, and until now they have not figured out why the Han Chinese, who are at odds with the Turks, would directly intervene in this war on the steppe.
You must know that just before the Tiele people went south, the Turkic Khan Ashina Dujishi launched two consecutive offensives against the Central Plains. For the first time, the Han emperor Yang Guang besieged Yanmen Pass, and almost captured the Han emperor who was respected as the Heavenly Khan. Although the second Turkic expedition to the south was also defeated, there is no doubt that they also turned a dozen counties in the northern part of the Central Plains into a scorched earth.
The Han people are a people who do not forget their hatred, how can they turn their enemies into friends so quickly?
"It's simple."
Chen Wanrong glanced at the dumbfounded Tiele generals, raised her hand and wiped the wine juice from Zamuhe's chin with a cloth handkerchief: "Because the Han people are afraid of your strength in the Great Han." ”
"Afraid?!"
Zamu pushed Chen Wanrong's hand away, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Afraid? If they're afraid, I'll send troops to help Ashinaduo, that damn woman?! What I need now is someone to help me come up with ideas, not just sycophants! ”
Chen Wanrong rubbed her aching left hand, still maintaining a humble and charming smile on her face: "Great Khan, haven't you figured out the truth yet?" ”
She looked directly into Zamuhe's eyes and said, "It is precisely because your current strength makes the Han people scruple that they will forget the hatred with the Turks for a while. If you think about it, although the Turks have an unforgettable hatred with the Han people, the Turks are now weak, like a lamb that has just been born, and the Turks are now incapable of threatening the splendid country of the Han people......"
"But you are different, you have hundreds of thousands of elite cavalry under your command, and if your orders are spread throughout the grassland, then there is no doubt that it is a threat to the Han people in the Central Plains. It is precisely because those Han Chinese are afraid of you that they will send troops to help the Turks. It's the same for you...... Do you want a neighbor who is as weak as a lamb, or choose a strong wolf king as a neighbor? ”
Zamuhe was stunned for a moment, and pulled Chen Wanrong over and hugged him in his arms: "Beauty, even if what you said is right, then you can tell me...... How can the Turks be defeated now? And those damn Han Chinese heavy riding...... You must know that in the past month, I have lost at least 20,000 elite cavalry in the past month with those Han heavy cavalry! Moreover, they also pretend to be my cavalry and plunder other tribes, whose leaders now hate me more and more. ”
"I'm thinking about ......"
Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "What did the Turks use in exchange for the support of the Han people? ”
"What is it?"
Zamuhe asked.
"It's surrender!"
Chen Wanrong said seriously: "If I guess correctly, Ashina Duoduo's little prodigal hoof must have reached an agreement with the ruler of the Han people. Ashina Duoduo represented the Turks to the Han people in the Central Plains, and perhaps swore in the name of the Wolf King in the name of Immortal Heaven that he would never go south to invade the Central Plains. In such a despicable and cowardly way, he won the mercy of the Han people...... In addition, the Han people are also afraid of the Great Khan, your prestige......"
"I don't need you to explain these things!"
Zamuhe said with some displeasure: "I know you are very smart, your Han people's minds are like the river of the Xilamulun River, you only need to tell me now how to win this battle, I don't care what oath the Turks made to those weak Han people, today I can swear in the name of Immortal Heaven, if you help me win this battle, I will make you the most noble Da Kedun on the grassland." ”
"Perhaps...... The Turks had a good approach. ”
Chen Wanrong smiled, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with a touch of pride.
……
……
"What did you say!"
Zamu stood up violently and kicked Chen Wanrong to the ground: "You just said that such a trick of the Turks is despicable and cowardly, and now you actually let me also pay tribute to those weak two-legged sheep?" The people of the Ashina family have lost the face of the grassland people, do you still want me to do such a humble thing?! ”
He kicked a little harder, and two streams of blood immediately gushed out of Chen Wanrong's nose. But she got up from the ground, but she still had a humble and meek smile on her face: "My greatest khan, the messenger sent to the world by the Immortal Heaven...... You should not doubt my loyalty, how can I persuade you to be a vassal to those hateful and pitiful Han Chinese? ”
She was prostrate on the ground, like a she-wolf crawling at the feet of the wolf king: "Great Khan, maybe you don't know much about the current affairs in the Central Plains, so you didn't understand my words." Please give me the time to patiently explain to you the benefits of this for the Tiele tribe. ”
Zamuhe pondered for a while, then sat down on the felt carpet again and said, "If the answer you give me is not satisfactory to me, although I like you very much, I will not hesitate to throw you into the fire and roast you...... You should know that the dignity of the Tiele people cannot be desecrated, and the dignity of the immortal heaven cannot be desecrated. ”
"I know, Great Khan."
Chen Wanrong wiped the blood from her face and said with a smile: "Today's Central Plains is even more chaotic than on the grassland, the once powerful Great Sui Empire has fallen, and now those powerful people in the Central Plains are vying for the throne and fighting everywhere...... If nothing else, Ashina Duoduo is attached to a Han man named Li Xian. Li Xian is now the most powerful person in the Central Plains, and he has almost unified the Central Plains......"
She looked at Zamuhe and said, "But there is no doubt that there are still many people in the Central Plains who do not obey Li Xian's rule. If Li Xian wants to unify the Central Plains, there are still many powerful enemies that he needs to conquer, and perhaps one variable can make him fall from the clouds to the bottom. The appearance of the Han people was a change in the war between the Tiele tribe and the Turkic tribe, so why can't we Tiele people be the one who made Li Xian fall from the clouds to the bottom? ”
Zamuhe pondered for a while, and seemed to understand what Chen Wanrong meant: "You mean to make the Central Plains more chaotic, so that those damn Han people don't have the energy to mix things up on the grassland again?" ”
"Great Khan, your wisdom is deeper than the waters of Lake Sal!"
Chen Wanrong said: "The Great Khan can pretend to be a vassal to that Li Xian, and even agree to some requests that the Turks dare not agree to." The Han people gave them whatever they wanted, cattle, sheep, horses, all of which were fine. As long as the Han people agree to withdraw from the army...... No, as long as Li Xian agrees to meet the envoy you sent, this matter will be done. ”
She smiled and said, "Why did the Central Plains become chaotic? What could make the Central Plains even more chaotic? ”
"Because the emperor of the Han people died, and the Great Sui Empire fell like a collapsing snow-capped mountain, the Central Plains was in chaos...... If you want to make the Central Plains even more chaotic, then let the person with the most hope of becoming the emperor die, if he dies, how can other powerful people in the Central Plains sit still? ”
"Great Khan Wise!"
Chen Wanrong crawled to Zamuhe's feet like a well-behaved kitten and curled up at his feet.
"Beauty...... You know, sometimes I really want to swallow you in one gulp...... Hahahaha! ”
Zamuhe grabbed Chen Wanrong's hair and pulled her up, burying his head in her fragrant neck and gnawing hard. In front of those subordinates, Zamu tore Chen Wanrong's front placket, and kneaded and pinched vigorously with his thick palms on the pair of plump and white breasts.
Chen Wanrong's throat let out a few sweet moans, so ecstatic.
On this night, thousands of miles away from the camp of Zamuhe, on the shore of Qingniu Lake, a down-and-out and haggard man stood alone on the edge of the two-story wooden building, looking at a gorgeous short knife in his hand and muttering.
"Wanrong...... Where are you? Where are you, my daughter? ”

Aozhou
A few months ago, the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom, was prosperous and wealthy. Countless people came and went through the city gates every day, but after the New Year, the city seemed to be depressed. As the offensive of the Yanyun army became more and more fierce, and the army of Great Xia was defeated and retreated, who among the merchants and ordinary people was willing to go out easily? This once-bustling city now doesn't see many people coming in and out of the gates all day long.
It is about twenty miles away from the south gate of Zhaozhou, next to a forest.
The white-faced Wu Bushan glanced at Wang Qinian, rubbed his sour brows and asked, "Have you thought of how to enter the city?" Now the city of Zhaozhou is heavily guarded! ”
Wang Qinian squatted on the ground and hesitated for a while, then raised his head and asked tentatively: "Why don't you pretend to be a rich family who fled from Qingzhang and came to Zhaozhou?" ”
"It's suspicious!"
Wu Bushan shook his head.
"Do you want to pretend to be a merchant?"
"Where are the merchants who don't want to run to Hebei at this time?"
"So what do you say?"
"I know what to do, I'm still asking you?"
"Your Excellency!"
At this time, several secret spies galloped from the direction of Zhaozhou, and the secret spies led by them ran to Wu Bushan and panted and said, "We can go in!" ”
"How do you get in?!"
Wu Bushan asked incredulously.
The spy also looked incredible, swallowed a mouthful of foam and said, "The officials of the Xia Imperial Court greet ...... at the door."
"Huh?!"
Wang Qinian was taken aback: "Exposed? ”
