Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Border of Yizhou
When Li Yuan met Liu Yanxin in person, there was a big earthquake in Yizhou, and a big battle broke out at the border!
Border steppes.
Late autumn dusk!
The remnant sun sets in the west, rendering the sunset on the horizon into a blood-red patch, sprinkled on the vast grassland.
Thundered! Thundered!
However, at sunset, an extremely tragic cavalry battle took place on the border.
Thundered!
The smoke and dust were billowing out, the fighting shook the sky, the horse's hooves shook, thousands of troops and horses, and the dense cavalry shook the grassland land.
With the symbol of the Dayu Dynasty, the black iron horse, vast as the sea, spread out on the grassland like black waves to surround and kill another army.
In the endless camp of enemy troops, a cavalryman in strange costumes, with a chapped face, greedy eyes like a wolf, and a long scimitar in his hand.
It's a fierce and brave Hu Qi on the grassland!
There are 60,000 Hu horses scattered in the vast grassland!
This is more than half of the cavalry of the Hu Tuo Dynasty, and 60,000 fierce and brave Hu cavalry are enough to crisscross the vast grassland.
However, Hu Cai, who frightened several dynasties and tribes in the grassland, fell into the ambush of the Dayu Dynasty cavalry at this moment.
The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, and the shaking of the earth became more and more violent, looking at the torrent of steel rolling from thousands of horses on the opposite side, General Hu Cai's eyes showed a look of fear and anger.
They were deceived!
…………………
Go back a month ............
Hundreds of miles away from the border of Yizhou, there was a grassland dynasty called the Hutuo Dynasty.
The Hu Tuo Dynasty was a dynasty composed of large and small tribes, and was one of the strongest dynasties in the vast grasslands.
As a dynasty on the grassland, they covet the Yu Dynasty has the most fertile land, the most abundant resources, and enough food, but in the face of the strength of the Yu Dynasty, they have no courage and only dare to make a small fuss on the border of Yizhou, and often harass.
A month ago, Ji Wushuang, the general of Yizhou Town, suddenly sent three generals to lead a team of elite cavalry deep into the grassland, and most of the tribes in the Hu Tuo Dynasty were rampant, not killing the enemy, but secretly burning all the grain in the tribe.
The leaders of the various tribes in the Hu Tuo Dynasty were furious, the grain in the tribe was burned, how to survive, and they asked the king of the Hu Tuo Dynasty, King Tuo, to avenge them, and to attack the border of the Dayu Dynasty to grab the grain.
In the grasslands, grain is very precious, and they have to store it for winter three seasons of the year, but now that it is autumn, the grain is burned
King Tuo was furious in his heart but felt helpless at the same time, he didn't want to take revenge back, but Ji Wushuang, the general guarding the Yizhou border, was a very powerful character, but one of the top ten generals of the Dayu Dynasty, Hu Tuo Dynasty had suffered several times in his hands.
The grassland is a world of the jungle.
If Ji Wushuang was defeated again, the warriors of the dynasty suffered heavy losses, and the other dynasties would kill again, and the Hu Tuo dynasty would really be finished, so he refused the request of the leaders.
However, due to the lack of food, the tribes had difficulty surviving, and for half a month, the leaders of the tribes kept begging King Tuo to support the food and seek a solution.
In the royal court, although King Tuo was already old, his body was very tough and strong, his appearance was rough, and his gray hair stood at the roots, like steel needles.
King Tuo, who had once again comforted the leaders to return, was now sitting on the throne angry and worried.
In the grassland, there was a shortage of food, and now those tribes who were burned by the Yu army could hold on for a while, but after a long time, the food method was not solved, and their tribe was hungry, so they would rob the tribes that still had food, and then the dynasty would fall into turmoil again.
King Tuo cast his hopeful gaze on the only person standing in the royal court, the national teacher and husband Meng Gonglu.
Meng Gonglu, who has a quiet breath and a small beard, and looks very strong, met the gaze of King Tuo, and has already come up with a plan in half a month:
"Wang, the Dayu Dynasty is powerful, there is no equal, it is difficult for us to attack Yizhou to get food, it is better to put aside the hatred for the time being, we will attack other dynasties!"
"Attacking other dynasties?"
King Tuo's sharp eyes flashed, this is a good idea!
Although I don't know what Ji Wushuang is crazy about, he raided the various tribes in the dynasty and burned the grain, but they can't afford to provoke the Dayu Dynasty, and other dynasties can't afford to provoke them?
"Report!"
Out-of-court guards report urgently.
"Come in!"
"Report, outside the royal court, there is a mysterious person who meets the king in person, saying that he can solve the king's troubles."
King Tuo and Fumeng Gonglu's eyes moved.
…………
After a while, a mysterious man dressed in a black robe and wrapped himself tightly walked into the royal court.
Seeing the man in black who only revealed a pair of eyes, Fumeng Gonglu frowned and asked:
"Who are you, why don't you see my king?"
Seeing that King Tuo did not worship, the black-robed man said in an arrogant tone:
"King Tuo, are you going to attack other grassland dynasties to seize grain now, if you really think so, you have fallen for Ji Wushuang's plan!"
Hearing the words of the black-robed man, King Tuo and his husband Meng Gonglu were shocked, ignoring the black-robed man's rudeness, and hurriedly asked:
"What do you mean?"
"Huh!" The black-robed man let out a sneer, he knew he had guessed correctly.
"Do you know that Emperor Yu, the lord of the Yu Dynasty, has not been for many days, and the top forces in the dynasty have long been dissatisfied with the royal family, and they are ready to move, waiting for the day when Emperor Yu will die."
"Emperor Yu already knew their ambitions, and secretly dispatched troops to transfer half of the soldiers guarding the border to defend them in strategic places in various states."
"So you now know why Ji Wushuang is burning the grain of your tribes."
"Huh?"
What do you mean?
King Tuo heard the black-robed man tell about the Dayu Dynasty, why did he turn his head to Ji Wushuang's burning of tribal grain.
King Tuo looked at Fumeng Gonglu a little at a loss.
Fumeng Gonglu frowned, lost in thought.
Seeing the expressions of the two, the black-robed man sneered in his heart, sure enough, they were all brainless barbarians.
"Hehe, you said that you were tricked, but you still don't believe it.
Ji Wushuang is to let your dynasty tribe lack food for the winter, knowing that you don't dare to fight the idea of the Dayu Dynasty, so you will definitely fight the idea of other dynasties.
Ji Wushuang is going to be transferred, so he wants a few of your neighboring dynasties to start a war, and he has no time to take care of the upcoming civil strife of the dynasty.
As soon as I saw your expressions, I knew that Ji Wushuang had guessed correctly, no wonder I left the Yizhou border with peace of mind. ”
King Tuo was furious, slapped the throne, stood up and said angrily:
"I see, the people of the Dayu Dynasty are really insidious and despicable!"
