Chapter 33: The Great War
It turned out that He Lu didn't let me go out of the 'door' for the past few days, because he was afraid that I would learn the news that Qi Min was coming, but this kind of thing could not be concealed for a while. So, he told me anyway.
After returning from the Holy Lake, He Lu became busy, mobilizing troops everywhere and preparing for battle.
In order to meet the battle, He Lu decided to send me to the Golden Tooth Mountain, which is more than two hundred miles away from Shuanghe, where the tooth tent was also stationed, so I would be safer there.
When I was parting with He Lu, I held his hand tightly: "You must live!"
He grinned at me and pretended to be relaxed, "I have your robes on me, and I will definitely save the day!"
I was stunned, nodded, and when I left, I looked back at the 'jade' and 'door' closing. I don't want anything to happen to these two people, but I also know that this time the enlightenment is prepared, and the battle will be unprecedentedly tragic, as for the result, I don't dare to imagine it at all!
Azili accompanied me to the Golden Tooth Mountain, taking care of my daily life and guarding me.
Within a few days of our departure, a war broke out on both sides, and I was a hundred miles away, so I had no way of knowing the situation. I don't have trouble sleeping and eating every day, but even if I know, I can't help much, so I'm just worried.
In December, the battle was fierce, and even though I was far away, I knew something.
The Han army broke through its Jin Division, and the leader Dulu threw more than 10,000 Turkic tribes to surrender!
On the first day of the first lunar month, it was reported that the Han army had captured the families of the Nishu Department and the people and animals of the Ministry, but Qi Min ordered the return of their family members and livestock, and also rewarded them heavily!
Now two of the ten tribes have surrendered to the Han army, and the Turks are unfavorable and retreating.
Although I am glad that Qimin has such far-sighted courage in warfare, and I know how to combine grace and power, it must not be a problem to control the courtiers. But I'm worried that He Lu will be frustrated because of this, but I'm afraid that it will be difficult to counterattack.
Soon after, the war report was spread, and Qi Min personally led a large army deep into the hinterland and pursued He Lu to Shuanghe. And He Lu gathered 100,000 strong soldiers to besiege the Han army, and Qi Min was also among them.
After reading this battle report to me, Azili said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about it now, right? The emperor only brought 50,000 horses, and he was outnumbered, and besides, he was in Shuanghe, so the chance of victory was almost none!"
But I felt like my blood was going to congade, and I was surrounded by compassion...... He Lu will definitely not let him go, I don't want anything to happen to him!
Aziliqi said: "Before He Lu was defeated and retreated, you were so nervous, and now that the emperor is surrounded, you are still like this." Who the hell are you worried about?"
I shook my head: "I don't know either...... Neither of you, I don't want anything to happen. ”
Azili sighed and said to me, "No matter what the outcome is, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape the word sadness." I lowered my head, and he said: "This war, I'm afraid it's because of you......" Before he finished speaking, I raised my head and said hurriedly: "I'll go and beg them, beg them not to fight!"
He smiled and said, "Although it started because of you, it won't end because of you, not to mention that it has already come to this point! No matter how good He Lu is to you, it is impossible for you to give up the opportunity to kill the emperor." ”
I was stunned, He Lu would not let go of Qi Min, and Qi Min naturally would not let go of He Ji. Otherwise, how could he get back the humiliation he suffered at the hands of He Lu back then?
I could only wait for the battle, but I was afraid and scared.
But this time the battle report has not come for a long time, Aqili looks more worried than me, the ice and snow have melted, the grass and trees are growing, he sighed: "I'm afraid that the battle situation will change." ”
I hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"
He said: "If He Lu wins, I would have come to pick you up at this time, but there is no news at all so far...... It is only more than 200 miles, and it must not be able to encircle and suppress it, and the Han army has seized the opportunity. ”
My heart was beating "thump" and "chaotic", so worried until April, the He Kill came!
Seeing his weather-covered and dusty appearance, I hurriedly greeted him, and asked without waiting for him to speak: "Are you here to take me back to Shuanghe?"
He 'touched' and 'touched' my head, smiled tiredly, and said, "Take you to Qianquan, summer is coming soon." His voice was hoarse, and his eyes were bloodshot.
I was about to ask, but the person behind him whispered a few urgings, and he walked away with a frown. I was in a mess and didn't know what was going on.
Fortunately, there was also Azili, and I quickly found him, and when I saw that he was frowning, I asked him to tell me if I knew something.
"There is a trick in "The Art of War" called encircling Wei to save Zhao, He Lu was defeated by the Han army, and the Youzhou army rushed to break up our Turkic soldiers, so the emperor is fine. ”
I was worried and happy, he was about to leave after speaking, I suddenly thought of something, grabbed him and asked, "Who is the commander of the Youzhou army?"
He glanced at me and said, "Governor of Youzhou, Ji Lan." ”
I exclaimed, "Second brother!"
He also said: "Quickly pack up your things and prepare to leave! The Han army has already pursued us, and most of our troops have been lost, so we can only retreat to Qianquan." Just look at the Han army and don't dare to cross the desert, don't chase after it!"
I went to pack up my things in a daze, but I was thinking about my second brother, he has been in office in Youzhou, but his official rank has not yet reached this point. Let him lead the troops to the battle, is it the meaning of enlightenment?
He Lu came to me, and when he saw that I was sitting in a daze, he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled me and said, "There's no time, we have to leave quickly." ”
I asked him, "Have you seen my second brother Ji Lan?"
He frowned: "Is it the Metropolitan Governor of Youzhou? This person is very powerful, it turns out that he is your second brother, but fortunately, that arrow didn't kill him." ”
I shuddered and asked, "Are you ...... You almost killed him?"
He stopped and said to me, "I hope you can understand what is happening on the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and no one can control it. Okay, let's not talk about it, let's get out of here. ”
Biting my lower lip, I left the Golden Tooth Mountain with him and got on horseback, ready to cross the desert to a thousand springs. But my mind was blank, worried about my second brother, and I didn't know what was waiting for me in the future.
Walk to the desert. When they set up camp at night, everyone had a chance to breathe.
He Lu looked at me and said that I had lost a lot of weight, but in fact, why wasn't he!
I bluntly asked him: "If you 'hand me over', can you stop fighting and stop fighting?"
He Lu was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "You overestimate yourself too much, right? Hundreds of thousands of strong soldiers, is it just for you to be a small 'woman'? His ambition is very big, he wants the entire Western Turkic land, and it has nothing to do with you!"
He's here to be ashamed, to make a name for himself and go down in history!
How could I possibly sway his will?
He Lu hugged me in his arms and comforted: "Don't think nonsense, I have ordered people to go to Qianquan to gather troops, and then send people to borrow troops from Hui, when the time comes, the Han army will definitely die without a place to be buried!"
I was taken aback, and asked quietly: "How do you know that Hui Hui will lend you troops? Hui Hui has always been very good with the imperial court!"
He sneered: "After the Western Turks are destroyed, there is only one powerful tribe left, if he doesn't borrow troops, isn't he afraid that he will end up being annexed!"
I was silent, with a long sigh in my heart.
