Chapter 532: Target Taigu County
Taigu County, as one of the eight counties of the Dayu Dynasty, is located in the southeast of the state.
As a loyal county in the Jinzhong Basin, Taigu County has become the largest grain producing area in the north of Dayu due to its unique geographical environment.
However, although Taikoo County produces a lot of food, the population here is not very large.
And the reason for this situation is that the imperial court did it deliberately.
After all, Bingzhou's geographical location is too close to the northern frontier, making it an easy target for the steppe army.
However, Taikoo County is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only a plain is in the south.
Therefore, if the grassland army wanted to raid Taigu County, it had to take a detour to the south and then north to enter the Jinzhong Basin.
Therefore, the Dayu Dynasty migrated a large number of people in Shouyang and Leping on both sides of Taigu County.
In this way, there will be enough men to resist when the steppe army moves south.
But now the two grassland armies are heading north from Fenzhou to Taigu County.
"Although we have agreed between us that we will evacuate once Muhua Li Falcon and them go south, the direction we are taking now is obviously not the way back!"
Basud rode his war horse and looked at the surrounding mountains and said with some uneasiness.
"yes, where the hell are we going?"
Yelu Xingyunye asked.
"Humph! Retreat now, you two guys are obedient dogs! ”
Baye Gule said with a disdainful face.
"What do you mean by that!"
Hearing this, Basud immediately glared at him and asked angrily.
"Hmph, although you are the commander of our company army this time, it doesn't mean that you can humiliate us like this, you'd better make it clear."
Yelu Xingyun also squinted his eyes and said with a fierce look in his eyes.
"You still don't admit that you're stupid!"
Baye Gule sneered again.
"Baye Gule, are you looking for death?"
Basud, who has always been hot-tempered, immediately pulled out the scimitar on his waist and pointed it directly at Baye Gule.
When the surrounding Uhu people saw that Basud dared to point their scimitars at their king, they drew their weapons and were about to step forward.
As a result, the people on the side of the Wuhu tribe also drew their scimitars one after another, ready to protect their sweat.
"Okay, are you preparing your own people to beat your own people?"
Seeing this, Yelu Xingyun immediately scolded loudly.
But the surrounding Wuhu and Murwei people did not stop because of his words.
They still confronted each other angrily.
"That's enough, Baye Gule, you still have to make it clear, if you continue to insist on going your own way, then don't blame me, the beggar clan will withdraw from this alliance."
Yelu Xingyun threatened sharply.
"That's right, if you don't make it clear, we'll quit the coalition."
Basud then followed Yelu Xingyun's words.
The two of them knew very well that they were now in the hinterland of the Great Yu Dynasty, and there were still a large number of Great Yu troops around them.
Therefore, once they withdraw from the coalition forces, there is a high risk that they will be attacked by the Dayu army.
And once the Murowei and Qita clans withdraw from the coalition army, they can still unite, although it is weaker than the current tripartite alliance, but at least stronger than the individual Ugo clan.
In this case, as long as the Dayu people are not stupid, they will definitely take this opportunity to launch an attack on the weak Wuhu clan.
"Alright! Since you have to break the casserole and ask the truth, I don't mind telling you two idiots about it. ”
Seeing this, Baye Gule only compromised, after all, he also knew that now the alliance of their grassland tribes would be strong, and if they were divided, they would die.
No matter how much he looked down on Basud and Yelu Xingyun, he couldn't underestimate the soldiers of the Murowei and Qita clans.
"The direction we are traveling in now is indeed the direction of not going back!"
After taking a long breath, Bano Koraku finally told the truth.
"And where are you going to take us? Why would you want to change your plan? ”
Yelu Xingyun asked sharply.
"Hmph, you don't want to think about it, this time our troops are divided into three ways, Muhua Li Falcon took the two guys Murong Tongwei and Wan Qi Yue Le to the south to plunder the richest places of the Dayu Dynasty, but left us and Yu Jiu Lu Ying The two armies to contain the Dayu army When they return with a full load, we can only flee back to the grassland empty-handed, is it fair?"
Baye Gule said dissatisfiedly.
As soon as these words came out, Basud and Yelu Xingyun all fell silent.
Things are indeed as Baye Gule said, since they divided their troops, they have been pursued by a large number of Dayu troops along the way.
If they want to plunder some slightly larger county towns and resupply them, they will be immediately attacked by the Dayu army.
For the sake of safety, they could only attack some smaller counties to replenish along the way.
And even in these small counties, most of the people in the city fled before they attacked.
So most of the time, what is left in these counties is an empty city.
The supplies are pitifully scarce.
The Erlang of their various tribes are all complaining.
If it weren't for the fact that they were about to capture the imperial capital of Dayu, the sons and daughters of these tribes would have been stiff a long time ago.
But now they began to retreat north with their large army, which was a fatal blow to the morale of the army.
Along the way, the soldiers of the three tribes were all dazed, and many of them even began to curse the three of them in private.
"But what's the solution, this time the Dayu people have already prepared, once we target a slightly larger county, they will attack us at all costs."
Basud said helplessly and aggrievedly.
"Yes, when we were divided into three roads before, we agreed that we would go all the way to the Dayu Imperial Capital, as long as we reached the destination within the specified time, and it was up to us to decide whether we plundered the county town on the way!"
Although Yelu Xingyun's heart was full of unwillingness, he couldn't do anything.
After all, it's not that Mu Huali Falcon won't give them a chance, it's just that they can't seize the opportunity at all!
"Having said that, but I'm still not reconciled, why can they plunder the anointed lands of the Great Yu Dynasty, and we can only flee back to the grassland?"
Baye Gule said with an indignant face.
"Do you want your sons to go back empty-handed and face the expectant eyes of their wives and children? Will you make our sons tremble and starve in the plague of white? ”
Baye Gule asked loudly.
Basud and Yelu Xingyun were completely speechless by Baye Gule's questioning.
They knew very well that what Bayo Gule said was very reasonable.
If they really go back like this, there is no way to face the family members in the clan who are looking forward to day and night.
"And where are you taking us now?"
Basud's tone was noticeably softer.
"The direction we are going to now is Taigu County of the Dayu Dynasty."
Baye Gule did not hide it, and directly said his purpose.
"Taigu County?"
Basud couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
In his mind, he was afraid that he was joking with himself, and they were so excited to deviate from the original retreat route to attack a small county?
This is simply a knife to kill.
"That's right, it's Taigu County!"
Baye Gule said very seriously.
"Isn't it a bit of a waste for so many of us to attack a small county town together?"
Basud said with a dissatisfied expression.
"No, there is no problem at all with the target selected by Baye Gule, and it can even be said that it is the most perfect target for attack."
Yelu Xingyun on the side waved his hand to stop Basud from continuing.
"Aren't you stupid too? If you don't want to attack the county seat, you have to attack a county seat! ”
Basud looked at Yelu Xingyun in amazement.
He couldn't understand that Yelu Xingyun, who was still on the same front as him before, was now stupid all of a sudden.
"Basud, we are attacking Taigu County!"
Yelu Xingyun saw that Basud had not yet reacted, so he immediately reminded.
"Taigu County?"
Hearing the name, Basud suddenly felt something familiar.
But he thought about it for a long time, and he couldn't remember where he had heard the name.
"Great Khan, Taigu County is the first grain-producing place in the north of the Dayu Dynasty!"
One of the generals beside him couldn't help it, so he immediately stepped forward and reminded in a whisper.
Basud couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.
He remembered where he had heard the name.
"Now you understand?"
Baye Gule said with a sneer.
"I understand, as long as we take Taigu County, we can get a lot of food."
Basud couldn't help but pat his thigh and said excitedly.
"Not only that, because Taigu County is an important grain production area of the Dayu Dynasty, there are still a lot of cattle and vehicles transporting grain, as long as we conquer here, we can directly use the cattle to pull the grain back, and we don't have to worry about grain transportation at all."
Yelu Xingyun added.
"The most important thing is that we are now retreating north, although there are still troops of the Dayu Dynasty chasing us, but they are not as closely pursued as before."
Baye Gule then went on to say an important reason.
"That's right, this creates a good opportunity for us to capture Taigu County."
The more Jeruth listened, the more joyful his heart became.
He thought that after he and the others returned to the grassland with a large amount of food, the clansmen of the three clans would be able to spend the whole winter in peace.
And whether it was Yu Jiu, Lu Ying, or Mu Hua Li Falcon, it was impossible for them to bring back so much food.
Even if they were able to successfully plunder one or two county towns, they would inevitably be surrounded and intercepted by the Dayu army.
At that time, they will inevitably be vigorous, loud, and may even be completely wiped out by the Dayu army.
"Do you still think there's something wrong with my plan?"
After saying this, Baye Gule coldly questioned Basud and Yelu Xingyun.
"This opportunity you have set up is simply perfect, we don't have any opinions!"
Immediately, Basud said with a smile on his face.
"Yes, we are all under your command."
Yelu Xingyunye expressed his surrender to Baye Gule.
"Alright, in that case, let's move on."
And just as Baye Gule and them were heading in the direction of Taigu County with an army of 40,000 grasslands, another army hundreds of miles away from them was also heading in the same direction.
The leader of this army is none other than Rouran Khan Yu Jiulu Ying.
"Although Rouran Khan said that this Taigu County is an important place for grain production in the north of Dayu, but it is already winter, their grain has already been harvested, and at this time, their grain may have been transported to various places long ago, and we may be busy in vain if we go to loot now!"
Hu Charm said as he staggered on his horse.
"What are you afraid of, it is not difficult to defeat this Taigu County at all, even if there is not much food in Taigu County, we will not lose anything, it is a big deal, we will go back and attack other county towns."
Ashina Duqing said disdainfully.
Although it is said that this time they have broken through all the three county towns of the border fortress of the Dayu Dynasty.
But the battle that followed was simply humiliating for him.
Wherever they went, they were followed by the Dayu army.
Whenever they made any moves, these Dayu armies were like vicious dogs, pounced on them, trying to tear off a piece of flesh from their bodies.
And in order to ensure the completion of the task assigned by Muhua Li Falcon, they could only grit their teeth and go all the way south to besiege the imperial capital of the Dayu Dynasty.
Although they made the officials and people of the Dayu Dynasty panic, in fact, there was not much threat to the Dayu Dynasty.
Later, after the news from Muhua and Li Falcon, in order to ensure that their people would not be completely besieged by the Dayu army, they immediately retreated.
Although they threw off a lot of Da Yu's troops this time, they still didn't dare to blatantly attack those county towns.
After all, once they delay too long and are besieged by those Dayu troops, they will have to pay a sufficient price if they want to break through.
"Don't worry, there is enough food in Taigu County this time, enough for all the people of our three clans to spend the whole winter comfortingly."
Yu Jiu Luying said confidently at this time.
"Oh? Why are you so sure? ”
Ashina Duqing and Hu Lufu asked puzzledly.
"Do you really think that we didn't find out the good news before we attacked the Great Yu Dynasty?"
Yu Jiu Luying smiled coldly.
"Is this news reliable?"
Hu Rhythm Fu was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, this news is from the secret son of our Rouran clan who is hidden in the Dayu Dynasty."
Yu Jiulu said proudly.
"In this way, even if we don't loot any property this time, relying on the grain in Taigu County alone can be regarded as a bumper harvest."
Ashina Duqing said excitedly.
"Who says we're not looting? After we capture Taigu County, we can send people to send food back, and then we can continue to attack other county towns of the Dayu Dynasty! ”
Yu Jiu Lu Ying said with a greedy look.
"But that guy from Muhua Li Falcon told us to retreat as soon as we got the news, wouldn't it be against his orders if we attacked other county towns?"
Hu Rhythm Fu then said.
"Hahaha! In this world, it has always been to support the bold and starve to death, and he is bold enough to attack the richest new state of the Dayu Dynasty, if we still cower, then we can only go back to the grassland to starve. ”
Yu Jiulu Ying said with a laugh with a horsewhip.
