Chapter 255: It's Time to Go Back
Gucheng. The fighting continues. This is already the fifth day of the siege. For five days, both sides paid a certain price for it.
The Baha's general who defended the city, originally had more than 2,000 troops, but now there are about 1,000 people left. Even so, Gucheng was firmly in his hands.
The besieging side, despite his efforts, did not capture the city, and not only that, but the number of casualties among its own troops reached nearly 3,000.
Fortunately, the other party also suffered a lot of losses, and if it survived like this, Baha without reinforcements must be the first person who couldn't stand it.
In the yurt of the patriarch belonging to the Kaqi tribe, Uzhige was drinking wine with Hadan and Jebu. Instead of mare's milk wine, they drank the burnt knives provided by Sushi.
This kind of strong liquor was liked by the three of them when they first took the first sip. It's just a pity that Su Shi doesn't seem to have much stock in his hands, so they get even less, and they are generally reluctant to drink.
It will be taken out today, it is Urige who wants to reward Jebu, although it is said that the solid city has not been taken yet, but no matter what, after attacking the city for five days in a row, everyone is still very hard.
There are also achievements, and seeing that there are five more days, you can capture the city, which should be celebrated in advance.
After three days of drinking and talking, they all talked about how to develop to the surrounding areas as soon as possible after conquering the fortified city, eliminate or subdue the small and medium-sized tribes at the same time, and strengthen themselves, so that when the summer comes, they can be evenly matched with Mo Ge's lost troops, so that the other party does not dare to act rashly.
"Report, Lou Yang, please see the patriarch, the person is outside the door." While the three of them were drinking, a patriarch escort walked in and reported loudly.
"Lou Yang is here?" Uzhige was stunned when he heard this. Ever since they began to attack Gucheng, the Su family army has been in a state of indifference.
It was not that Urige did not think of asking them for help, but thinking of Su Shi's shrewdness, if he opened his mouth, he might not know what benefits the other party would want, so he forced his mind to ask for help and did it himself.
I didn't go to Su Shi, and Su Jiajun was also happy to be quiet, so although everyone was in a military camp, there was little communication.
Gradually, everyone has become accustomed to this feeling, but they don't know why Lou Yang is here at this time?
Lou Yang is one of the closest people to Su Shi, and his appearance will not represent himself, but only the shrewd Song people.
"Patriarch, the person is coming soon, you might as well meet him and listen to what he has to say." Hadan was also thinking quickly in his heart, but he couldn't figure out what was going on with Lou Yang at this time?
Could it be that they wanted to help them in attacking the fortified city? If this is the case, I don't know how much benefit the lion will ask for?
It's just that this is all speculation, and what the truth is, or I will know it naturally when I see a real person. Uzhige couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about it, and when he heard Hadan say this, he nodded and said, "So, please let him in." The curtain opened, and the tall Lou Yang strode into the yurt.
After exercising during this time, Lou Yang has undergone a huge transformation, he has been with Su Shi for a long time, and his qi cultivation kung fu is also extremely homely, no matter what time it is, it is a cold look, and when he stops there, a sense of oppression is involuntarily born.
The three of them were seated, and they were a little unaccustomed to looking at Lou Yang.
"It's better to come early than to come soon, let's have a drink together?" Even if it's a polite greeting, I don't want the feeling of oppression to continue.
Of course, this was said by Baha, who was the oldest and the most secure in his work, and many things that were inconvenient for Urige to come forward would be entrusted to him.
"Don't bother, I'm here this time to convey the order of my young master, in view of your slow siege speed, our Su family army will send troops to attack the city early tomorrow morning." After saying this, regardless of whether Wuzhige agreed or not, Lou Yang turned around and left.
But when he was about to come to the door, he suddenly stopped, turned around and said again,
"By the way, don't forget our agreement before, all the wealth in the solid city will be picked by us first, and it will be yours after taking ninety percent." Finally finished saying what he was going to say, Lou Yang turned around and left again, without hesitation.
Lou Yang finally left, and the three people in the yurt room first looked at each other, followed by Zhebu, who had the hottest temper, and was the first to open his mouth and curse loudly,
"Phew! Who does he think he is? Is this here to discuss or to convey orders, do you really think that our Kaqi tribe is still as weak as before, and we still need to look at their faces for everything? "The current Kaqi tribe, after experiencing growth again and again, has a population of more than 100,000 people, and a strength of more than 10,000 troops, if you are willing to open up the conscription, you can break through 20,000, 30,000 or even more at any time.
This confidence is here, Jebu, as a general, of course doesn't want to look at other people's faces.
Even if it was the Su family army who had helped them in the past, and even had the grace of sparing their lives, it would not work.
Speaking of which, Su Shi took ninety percent of the harvest, which was discussed before. But at that time, the Kaqi tribe was very weak, so weak that as long as Su Shi was willing, he could destroy them at any time.
The situation was not as good as that of people, so he had to bow his head, and in order to survive, Uzhige agreed without thinking about it.
People change. From weak to strong, some of the previous treaties, of course, Uzhige did not want to abide by.
Not only that, but he was also thinking about the nearly 1,000 wooden boxes in the hands of the Su family's army. Each chest was filled with gold and silver, and with these good things in his hands, Uzhige was confident that he could make the Kaqi tribe even stronger.
When it comes to his own future development, Urige certainly won't give up easily. It's just that now is really not the time to start with Su Jiajun, at least we have to take down the solid city, and at that time, I have enough confidence to do what I always want to do but dare not do.
"Well, even if the Su family army is willing to make a move, then it's up to them. I'd like to see how capable their soldiers are on such a cold day. Uzhige suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and spoke.
"But the patriarch, is it really up to them to conquer it, and then let them claim the wealth?" Jebu looked disgruntled and questioned.
"In order to avoid internal friction, they can take care of it first." Uzhige nodded. But the focus of his words is the word keeping.
There is a big difference between custody and possession. The former shows that this thing is only temporarily placed here for you and does not belong to you.
The latter is what really belongs to you. When he heard the word safekeeping, Jebu still asked with doubts,
"With our strength, we can grab it, so why do we need to do it?"
"Hey, it's different. Everything in the city belongs to the Mongols, and if we rob it, it is inevitable that there will be irresponsible opinions. In the future, the solid city will be ours, and we will continue to take root here, and some relationships cannot be too stiff. But if these things were snatched by the Song people, then it had nothing to do with us, and when we snatched them back, we didn't snatch them from the hands of the Mongolian people in the city, we robbed the things of the Song people, so that others couldn't say anything. Baha explained with a smile.
After hearing these words in Jeb's ears, he suddenly came to an understanding,
"Not bad, yes. Hey, if you older people are thoughtful, admire and admire. Seeing that his two henchmen have prepared their plans, he will become one of the most powerful and wealthy people among the Mongolian people in the future, and Urige is also in a good mood.
"Come, let's drink, and then we'll wait to see how the Su family army is going to attack the city tomorrow." Lou Yang returned to the barracks of the Su family's army, at this time the camp became tense from the outside to the inside, all the soldiers canceled their vacations and rests, and began to patrol around the barracks in groups, all fully armed and ready to fight at any time.
Naturally, the changes here were reported to Uzhige's ears, but he didn't care. The Su family army will participate in the siege of the city early tomorrow morning, so it is normal to be prepared now, and there is nothing to make a fuss about.
Su Shi was in the yurt, and at this time he was facing one after another Su family army backbones giving orders.
Su Jiajun was about to make a move because Su Shi felt that the time had come. Although it is said that it will take some time before the winter is completely over, but then Su Shi will return to the Song Land with the army, calculate the time, and now is also the time to prepare.
It's been almost a year since he came out, and Su Shi really wanted to go to Bianliang City. Although he lived a very comfortable life in the army, the conditions were no worse than those in the capital.
But outside the plug is outside the plug, even if the Su family army is very good at fighting, but it is not on his own territory, once he takes a wrong step, it is really a wrong step, and it is possible to get into danger if he doesn't make a good one.
Speaking of which, the main task of going out of Beijing to Liaodi this time has already been achieved. First, exercise the ability of Su Jiajun.
After countless bloody battles, the Su family army has already proved its ability with practical actions, and they are already the strongest army in the world.
Second, take a trip to Liaodi to prepare for the recovery of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in the future. In fact, this time there is a chance to take back the Sixteen Prefectures, but unfortunately, Su Shi created an opportunity, but the Great Song Dynasty does not seem to have any intention of taking it back.
If you can't do it this time, you can only prepare for the next time. Third, revenge on Liu Liufu is intended to tell the world that he is not easy to mess with.
Liu Liufu is dead, and the news of his death has spread all over the world. With this as an example, no one will easily offend themselves in the future.
Su Shi didn't think about who he would bully after he was strong, he just needed everyone not to come and trouble him casually.
Now that these goals have been achieved, it is time to go back. And before leaving, grab another one to make the effort in the Kaqi tribe during this time.
