Chapter 417: A Late Mission
In the early morning of the next day, the 2,000 remnants of the Linghui Army assembled, followed Li Hao out of Hedong County, and marched in the direction of Weishui.
Yuwen Chengyu followed him with his arm wrapped in a bandage, and turned back one step at a time with some trepidation.
"Brother, Liang Yi, will he really come? Liang Yi is a loyal minister, can he afford to carry the name of treason! β
Since the side by side in Hedong County, the relationship between Yuwen Chengyu and Li Hao has become more and more intimate, and Li Hao has been completely regarded as a brother.
Li Hao smiled slightly and said confidently.
"Don't worry, just because Liang Yi is a loyal minister, he must be charged with treason! This time, it was not he who helped me, but I helped him. In the future, Tuyuhun will be called a vassal of the Li Kingdom, and I will naturally not treat him badly. After a long time, who is truly loyal to Tuyuhun, the people of Li will have the answer. β
As soon as Li Hao spoke, he saw the city gate of Hedong County open, and Liang Yi galloped out with 50,000 Huang family troops, and soon followed the Linghui army.
"Figured it out?" Li Hao asked.
Liang Yi didn't speak, and in the morning light, his expression became extremely firm.
Looking behind him again, there were several fewer generals in the Huang family. It is estimated that these people are all opposition parties who refused Huang Jiajun's assistance to Li Hao to send troops to Weishui.
It seems that Liang Yi has figured it out, in this era, if he wants to protect Tuyuhun, he can only cooperate with the Li Kingdom, and those opposing voices have been suppressed by his iron-blooded means.
Liang Yi suddenly turned his head to look at Li Hao, and said in a firm tone: "It is bound to be strong, I have no choice but to cooperate with the Li Kingdom today, but please also remember that Liang Yi is still your enemy!" β
This sentence was ostensibly said to Li Hao, but it was more like reminding himself. For some reason, after last night's conversation, Liang Yi felt more and more that his hatred for Li Hao was getting shallower and shallower. Not only that, it seems that General Huang Lao deliberately sent his life to Li Hao.
"Don't worry, this king hasn't forgotten, it's still the same sentence. If you are ready, you can always take revenge on this king. Just remember that when you start to take revenge, you and I are enemies, and this king will never show mercy at that time! β
"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Liang Yi bowed, and without saying anything, rode back to the camp of the Huang family.
"Haha, brother, you are really like a god, General Liang Yi really followed! I can't see that General Liang Yi is still a duplicitous person, and based on his reaction, it is estimated that he will not go against you in the future. β
"Not necessarily!" Li Hao smiled bitterly: "Huang Langjun's status in Liang Yi's heart is very high, and he knows that I will bring take-off to Tuyuhun, but he wants to avenge General Huang." Whether or not he will oppose me in the future depends on how I treat Tuyuhun! β
"But that's all for later, let's focus on the present! What's the news over there in Weishui? β
"The siege equipment of the Linghui army is too strong, although the Tuyuhun army has a lot of troops, but they don't dare to make a mistake, they can only besiege the city from afar, it seems that they want to consume the food and grass of the Linghui army."
"Haha, if you want to drag down my main force of Linghui, this Tuyuhun Khan is really naΓ―ve!"
"Brother, you don't really want to eat all the 200,000 troops of Tuyuhun, right?"
"Of course not!" Li Hao glanced at her: "My expedition to Tuyuhun this time is to turn this place into a vassal country. It is used to contain the Turks, and after the soldiers here are finished, I will need to send troops to guard them in the future. However, the appropriate lesson is still needed, and it is difficult to convince the public without standing up. β
"So where do we start?"
Li Hao's eyes flickered, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes: "North of Weishui!" β
"Ding! Congratulations to the host Li Hao for triggering the main quest and conquering Tuyuhun. β
Li Hao was stunned, and opened the system interface to confirm the task in some surprise.
No way? The Linghui army has experienced three fierce battles in Tuyuhun, not to mention the two counties at the Tuyuhun Gate, and has also lost 20,000 troops in Hedong County. It's all done like this, why has this system task just come?
After thinking about it carefully, he was immediately relieved that the previous battles with Tuyuhun were all provoked by the Blood-clothed King. The 20,000 main force of the Linghui Army was also in the war with the Turks, and it had nothing to do with Tuyuhun.
Now that the Turks have been wiped out, the King of Blood Clothes not only did not sanction Li Hao, but he also suffered a big loss, and it is estimated that Tuyuhun will never trust him. At this moment, it is estimated that he has fled back to the Turks in disgrace.
This also means that the battle between the Linghui Army and Tuyuhun has just begun.
Like the task of conquering the party, the task of the system has come down, which shows that Li Hao has approached the core of this battle.
The reward for the task of conquering the party is a book of soldiers, and it is really because of this unknown book of soldiers that Li Hao was able to overcome the Bloody King's sky-covering array during the war with the Turks. Achieve your own god's prestige.
I wonder what kind of rich rewards will there be after conquering Tuyuhun this time?
Li Hao has already begun to look forward to it.
Just fought a vicious battle with the Turks, although they narrowly won in the end, both the Huang Jiajun and the Linghui Army suffered a lot of losses. In order to ensure the morale of the army, Li Hao did not rush to march, and the two armies recuperated while recuperating and generally went to Weishui County. After walking for nearly half a month, he entered the boundary of Weishui.
At this moment, the news of the bloody king's defeat had spread all over the Tuyuhun army.
Originally, the Tuyuhun army, which was still waiting for Turkic reinforcements and attacking Weishui in one fell swoop, not only did not wait for reinforcements at this moment, but also faced an even more powerful and terrifying Zhen'an king, Li Hao.
The shadow in the hearts of the soldiers shows its greatness.
With the addition of the Huang Family Army, Li Hao now has about 60,000 troops in his hands, plus the 100,000 Linghui Army in Weishui County, the strength is not much less than that of Tuyuhun, and he can fight head-on.
It stands to reason that Tuyuhun should have gathered the troops of the Quartet besieging Weishui County at one point and confronted Li Hao head-on.
But the reason why the Linghui army of Weishui County did not break through for a long time was entirely because when it was besieged, the war equipment could only be used to defend the city, not to attack. The forces of the two countries will open their formations and fight head-on, and the war equipment of the Linghui Army will be able to exert its power, and this battle will be even more difficult to fight at that time.
For a time, Tuyuhun Khan was in a dilemma.
"Linghui's army is strong, and the Turks are now restrained by the Tang Dynasty and can't be reinforced, what should we do now?"
Above the court, Busabo Khan asked.
The ministers of the court lowered their heads and looked solemn, obviously there was no good way.
Busabo's heart was angry, and he slapped the table heavily: "I didn't let you come to see that you were silent, hurry up and come up with a countermeasure for me!" β
"Khan!" Suddenly, a Wenchen walked out: "Now the form is far from a desperate situation, the minister has a plan, but he can break Li Hao's two-fold strategy!" β
"Yushi Aiqing, what is your best plan? Say it! β
Yu Shiluo smiled slightly: "The main force of the Linghui Army is besieged and Weishui, although we can't attack it for the time being, they can't fight it." The only trouble is Li Hao's reinforcements! But in the first battle of Hedong County, the Linghui army led by Li Hao suffered heavy losses, and now there are only 1,000 troops, and most of his current troops are the Huang family's army! The minister petitioned to go into battle, and with just a few words, he could make the Huang Jiajun surrender, explaining that not only did Li Hao have no reinforcements, but he could even be taken down in one fell swoop, completely breaking the morale of the Linghui army! β
