Garhai looked at these soldiers and proposed to the main general, "General Right, it's better to bring these people over, so that you can completely defeat the morale of the Tubo people, and use the Tubo people to beat the Tubo people, hehe!"

Nogi disagreed with him, shook his head and said: "There is a shortage of food and grass in the army, if there are more of these people, I am afraid they will not be able to support them." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's better to kill them all, so that there will be no aftermath. ”

Liu Yu was shocked when he heard this, more than 60,000 lives, this is not a small number. Let him give the order to kill, it is really difficult to do with his conscience.

He fixed his mind and said, "This matter is not for us to assert on our own, and we must act on the orders of the Khan." ”

He rode his horse for a while, came to the red banner where the khan was, and saluted Yelu Shilu: "Khan, what should we do with these Tibetan soldiers?"

Jerushlu sat in his carriage, looked at him and coughed a few times, then smiled meaningfully, "Take all their horses and weapons, and let them go back as for the people!"

Liu Yu immediately understood his intentions, "Khan has a good plan!"

Yelu Shilu thumped his uncomfortable chest, "You're not bad, you're starting to use your brains, and you've been following me for so many days." ”

The seizure of the weapons and horses of the Tibetans could make these living Tibetans completely ineffective.

At the same time, these more than 60,000 mouths will not be idle, and they need to eat every day. Returning them to Cang Gyatso can just bring a lot of grain and grass pressure to the other party.

Liu Yu had a feeling and said: "Sometimes 'killing' is not as good as 'not killing'. ”

Yelu Shilu took the hot tea from the guards beside him, took a few sips, and said with a smile: "You are right, so I deliberately let go of a small group of Tubo people, they should have gone to report to Cang Gyatso." ”

Liu Yu's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Then Cang Gyatso should already be leading the army to arrive, and I will set up ambushes along the way." ”

Yelu Shilu shook his hand, "No need, let's go directly around their people and grab their heavy grain and grass." Only grain and grass are what we need, and without grain and grass, we will not survive this winter. ”

He left a small group of men and horses to keep an eye nearby, and then led most of the men and horses to the west and marched into the vast forest and snow fields.

After making a big circle in the snow-covered forest, the army rushed eastward, and after leaving the snowy forest, it attacked the place where the grain and grass of the Tubo people must pass - Gaqiu.

The land of Gaqiu is mountainous, and the continuous mountains block the cold winds from the south. Even though it's winter, there is still water and grass here.

Since the long-term attrition with the Khitans, the Tibetans have firmly held this territory, viewing it as the foundation of their conquest of the steppe.

Yelu Shilu led his army to the top of the towering mountain range, and looked condescendingly at the Tibetan camp at the foot of the mountain below.

There, the tents of the Tibetans were lined up, and the soldiers came and went in an orderly manner.

Seeing this situation, Liu Yu's heart moved, and he thought, since King Kui took Li Jing into the army of the Tubo people, would they also hide here?

With all his might, he looked between the barracks, trying to find suspicious traces. However, it backfired, and everything was in vain.

Jerushlu slowly raised his thin right hand and coughed a few times. All of a sudden, the eyes of all the soldiers of the army converged on his right hand, waiting for the edict of the greatest khan of the steppe.

Ye Luxuan led the left army to attack directly, entangled the vanguard of the Tubo people, and Liu Yu led the right army to support Ye Luxuan from the side. Jerushe cleared his throat, "You don't have to worry about the rest, leave it to me." ”

Speaking of this, he covered his mouth and coughed a few more times, and there were a few bloodshots in his palms.

Liu Yu saw it really from the sidelines, and his eyes showed concern.

When Jerusherus saw him, he motioned for him to be silent.

It wasn't until Yeluxuan led the army out that the khan smiled softly with him: "It's okay, it's not serious, don't tell others, so as not to affect the morale of the army." As the saying goes, 'If you are sick and sick, you will live to 10,000.'" I don't expect to live to be 10,000 years old, but it's always okay to be 100 years old!"

Liu Yu smiled, "At present, the victory or defeat of the war depends on the Khan's thoughts, the Khan can be healthy, and the people below can rest assured that everything can be assured." ”

He took out a pill from his bosom and handed it to the guards beside Yelushilu, "The Khan's illness is caused by overwork these days, and it is not a decoction that can be cured. This pill has the effect of warming and tonifying, and Khan can take one pill in the morning and evening, when it has the effect of relieving cough and moistening the lungs. ”

Yelu Shilu motioned to the guards to accept it, "So thank General Liu." ”

"Khan's words!" Liu Yu arched his hand towards Yelu Shilu as a farewell.

Seeing that Yeluxuan had already led the team to rush to the bottom of the mountain, he hurriedly ordered Nomuqi and Garhai to lead the team to follow, ready to support Yeluxuan from the side when the two armies were handed over.

The defenders in the Tibetan camp at the foot of the mountain were caught off guard by the Khitans who fell from the sky. In just a cup of tea, their camp had been crushed, and soldiers were throwing away their weapons and falling to their knees.

Seeing this, Yelu Xuan led his army directly into the camp, preparing to accept the surrender of these Tibetans.

After seeing it from afar, Garhai proposed to the commander: "Right General, let's rush in too, and strive to grab more heads!"

Nogiki looked at the situation in front of him and muttered, "It's all going too well!"

Liu Yu's feelings in his heart were the same as those of Nogi, and he also felt that this matter was quite strange. He looked up at the top of the mountain, and saw that the Chinese army led by Yelu Shilu had retreated behind the mountain at some point.

"Wait a minute, tell me to go down, don't mess up the formation!" he ordered.

After this military order was given, all the soldiers and horses on the right stopped at the foot of the mountain and waited for a stick of incense, until the sound of charging and shouting came from the back of the mountain.

Listening to that voice, it should be that Yelu Shilu and the Tubo people have joined the battle and have begun to fight.

Seeing this, Nogi was a smart man, and when he saw this, he asked his question, "Why did the Tubo people hide behind the mountain and attack?"

This is also the question in Liu Yu's heart.

He pondered for a moment, "If you are not mistaken, these Tubo people did not rush to support after learning of the previous defeat. They've been hiding here, waiting for us to come and get in on our own. They must have wanted to use the camp as bait, and when we were inside, they would launch a surprise attack from behind the hill to catch us off guard. ”

Fortunately, all this was seen through by Yelu Shilu, and the Tibetans lost the Gaqiu camp that was used as bait, which was a great loss for them, and they were not able to take any advantage from the Khitans.

Nogi frowned and thought for a moment, "General Right, do we want to go up the mountain to support the Khan?"
