Chapter 061: Strategizing and Waiting for the Opportunity
When Qing Getai heard the news that the grain and grass camp was burned at this time, he did not show an expression of surprise on his face, but was indifferent.
He couldn't help but sneer: "This king has been fighting for many years, and if he burns the grain and grass camp, can he stop my army from advancing?" It's a dream! Don't forget, how Khan Yiguo became a steppe wolf in my hands. ”
He glanced at Vach.
"What? Is it that the grain and grass camp was burned, which scared you stupidly? If you're scared, it's still too late. Khan Yiguo never needs cowards! ”
"Great Khan, although Wahe does not have the majesty of the Great Khan, but he is willing to clear the obstacles for the Great Khan in front of the camp, how can the Great Khan doubt Wah's loyalty?"
Wahe said, patting his chest.
"As long as Wah lives, he will definitely protect the Great Khan from any harm!"
Qinggeltai laughed happily.
"This is the glory of my Khan's country. What are you talking about, let's go! ”
Qinggeltai gave an order, and saw thousands of soldiers in front, walking in front with weapons in hand, and in the middle was a row of chariots, one of which stood Qinggeltai. Vah followed him to his left as the commander of the left army, and on the right was the territory of the right army. Followed by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, they marched towards the Kemur tribe.
"Great Khan, this speed is too slow, I'll go to the front first to see the situation."
Tuli explained the situation to Qinggeltai as he rode his horse towards the camp in front.
In fact, the first thing they had to encounter was General Baoli, the general of Kemur.
As the closest soldier to the palace defense, General Baoli has made a lot of effort during this time.
Because Qinggeltai had made a lot of preparations before besieging the Kemur tribe this time, he cut off three channels for the Kemur tribe to communicate with the outside world, and several strong cavalry battalions were all blocked outside. Not only are the back-up soldiers and horses unable to catch up, but even the food and grass needed for daily life are now overstretched.
This incident not only made General Baoli feel faceless, but he also hoped that this time he could have a life-and-death head-on impact with Qinggeltai and save the entire passive situation.
Originally, I thought that after the Khan Yiguo and the Kemur tribe could marry, they would be able to jointly deal with the Chagan of the Khan Tin Kingdom, but who knew that Qinggeltai would be treacherous and make extraneous branches, but would raid the Kemur tribe and attack them first? Not only General Baoli, but all the people of the Kemur tribe expressed their anger at Qinggeltai's actions and wanted to send him to feed the wild wolves.
This time, when General Baoli returned to the defensive camp dozens of miles away from the palace through several ways, Baoli's subordinates were already gearing up and eager to try, eager to go to Qinggeltai tomorrow to settle accounts.
Therefore, this expedition of Qinggeltai, whether in terms of time or people's hearts, does not have the upper hand.
Of course, Qinggeltai will not take these things to heart, he thinks that the time has come, it is the time.
Because back then, when Khan Yiguo was just a banner in the desert, Qinggeltai relied on his brute strength and luck to grow Khan Yiguo step by step, and finally became an independent kingdom of desert countries, which is what Qinggeltai is most proud of.
Inside General Baoli's tent.
The leader, Erdun, walked in.
"Report to the general, and take the soldiers in front to report that Qinggeltai has dispatched troops and horses, and is heading in the direction of the Kemur Palace."
"How many centaurs are there?"
General Baoli hurriedly asked.
"There are 20,000 people who know so far."
Erdun was clearly well aware of these circumstances in Chingaltai.
"Moreover, this time it is the Khan of Qinggeltai who personally went out!" Erdun did not forget to add.
"Personally? Am I waiting for him? Since he dares to come, we will let him go without returning, and this time I will leave Qinggeltai's head, and I will never let him go back with his own head. ”
"So, are we going to intercept them here, or are we going to go somewhere else?"
Erdun asked cautiously.
"Since Qinggeltai personally led the troops, he naturally would not leave his chariot, so we must stay away from our own palace. More than a dozen miles from here, Saar, where the terrain was undulating and suitable for the two armies to fight, was there for them, and that was their way through. It's just that our difficulty lies in the fact that when we go to Saar to camp, we can't bring more food and grass with the army. Therefore, the timing must be mastered. It's cold, and the horses aren't running very fast, these are things we need to think about in advance. ”
Erdun nodded.
"This time Gru and Temur have done us a great favor by burning down their barracks. Even if Qinggeltai transported grain and grass from the country, it would still be borrowed from Chagan Khan's Khan country, and it would take a certain amount of time to deliver it. Qing Ge Tai must have the confidence to win this time, so he acted like this and personally led the troops to fight. We must avoid his sharpness and fight a good battle in the place of Saar, when the time comes, it will be too late for Qinggeltai to pray for the protection of the heavens and the gods, right? ”
General Baoli said with confidence.
"Yes, I'm going to set it up. First, find someone to talk to Temur and Lord Gru, and the rest of the soldiers and horses all move in the direction of Saar. I think that in three days at most, the GIs of Qinggeltai will arrive. When they set up camp in Saerza, we'll take care of the rest. ”
Erdun was also very happy to see General Baoli's confident appearance.
"Who are the commanders of their left and right armies this time?"
"The commander of the left army is Wahe, and the commander of the right army is Tuli, both of whom are more experienced commanders. Commander Tuli had been seriously injured in the eye during a campaign in Khanyi's country two years earlier, and now he has only one eye to see everything in front of him. But I heard that he was very accurate in archery and never missed, but Qinggeltai never paid attention to him, but this time he took over because the original commander of the right army died suddenly and violently, and this incident is also a strange story of Khan Yiguo. Erdun hurriedly explained to General Baoli.
"That's fine, it seems that the Tuli Commander and Qinggeltai are not of the same mind, they are actually incompatible. Disrupt their camp and isolate them first. I think that if Qinggeltai was in danger, Tuli would not have come to the rescue in time. ”
General Baoli felt that the situation in Qinggeltai was clearer.
"As long as Kuhl's reinforcements can't come back, we can win this battle with seventy percent certainty, and thirty percent more, we also have to depend on the will of God."
After speaking, General Baoli was about to walk out of the tent.
Erdun hurriedly followed: "There is one more thing, Ao Hai is still letting him stay by the side of the Great Khan now?" ”
"That's nature, the Great Khan must have competent people around him to protect the Great Khan." General Baoli nodded.
"Well, I think it won't be long before they find Temur soon, so that we can respond back and forth, and Qinggeltai will not have a good life."
The two of them talked and walked, and as they spoke, the sky began to snow again.
"The snow is still falling in time, Erdun, after you have arranged the soldiers and horses today, we will go to Saar and set up camp tomorrow night. But it's not a big tent. ”
General Baoli turned around.
"Instead, choose some nests, which have a long distance and are suitable for digging nests."
Erdun nodded.
"Don't worry, General, I've already told the people below me about these things in advance. In these two days, we will be there to finish everything and wait for Gingeltai to send us gifts. ”
Here, after General Baoli finished explaining the matter, he went to visit the soldiers in several camp tents.
Fortunately, the soldiers knew that Qinggeltai was not far from here, and they all seemed to be in good spirits.
"General Baoli, we made some long Yue, just so that Qinggeltai can taste fresh in the car."
A soldier said.
"You have to stay close to him, catch him alive, and then you can wait for the Great Khan to reward you!"
The other soldier didn't seem to believe what he said, and deliberately used the method of agitation.
"If you're captured by Qinggeltai, we won't be able to save you."
"I don't have to wait until then, I heard that Qinggeltai will kill people before every expedition, which is an extremely disadvantageous thing, but because he got the throne because he killed people in front of the battle, every time he goes on an expedition, he will proceed in the same way as before."
"So, do you know how he got the throne back then?"
Obviously, not everyone knows about Qinggeltai, especially the new soldiers.
"Khan Yiguo turned out to be his elder brother was the crown prince, but because his brother was frail and sickly, when his father was forty years old, he made an excuse, saying that it was the crown prince's illness and urgently needed a great wizard to treat him, and then took a few people and rushed to the crown prince's womb, and it is said that not long after, the crown prince died, and his father positioned him as a candidate for the crown prince."
"And then?"
Some soldiers who did not know the process of Qinggeltai's ascension to the throne hurriedly asked, for fear of losing a lot of details that they did not know.
Later, his father began to investigate the matter secretly, because Qinggeltai has always had a very tyrannical personality, so his father did not want to pass on the throne to him, so he had to secretly look for Xinxin among the other princes, you think about it, how can he not know these things when he has always coveted the throne? So, with the help of a prime minister, he took the opportunity to oust his father from power. However, soon after, his father also died of illness. In this way, he naturally became the emperor's candidate, and after that, all the concubines in his harem, except for the young ones left, all the others were buried together. ”
"In this way, he is still not an easy person to deal with, and he looks more like an ambitious person."
"That's why, since he took over the Khan, the surrounding tribes have never been at peace. Within a few years, he had all those small tribes under the name of Khanyi. Now, calculated together, regardless of the soldiers, horses, cattle and sheep and wealth, the Khan Yi country can also be counted as a relatively strong country outside the Kemur tribe. ”
Just as everyone was busy discussing the affairs of Qinggeltai, General Baoli suddenly walked in front of a soldier.
"Do you dare to take down the head of Qinggeltai?"
