Chapter 828: Three Armies
Dodon has a big temper lately, he doesn't like the current stalemate, but the people around him can't think of a clean solution, he knows the importance of patience, but he also wants to transfer the pressure on his subordinates a little.
The struggle for the throne is not just his own business, and those who have achieved fame after the fact should contribute in advance, this is Dotun's idea.
Most of Dotun's pressure came from the Dragon King, the foreigner who was not qualified to compete with him.
"The Dragon King has gone to inspect the battlefield?" asked Don sternly, "why didn't anyone tell me in the morning?" ”
Although Liman and Azheba have been promoted to high-ranking generals, they are still as respectful in front of Dotun as before, and as for the other partners, they are even more arrogant, and everyone knows in their hearts that before defeating their opponents, His Royal Highness will probably not regain his pleasant face.
Azheba was in charge of keeping an eye on the Dragon King, and hung his head to blame himself, "It's my fault, the Dragon King often goes out, and he didn't have many guards with him this morning, so I ignored it, thinking that it was nothing important." ”
"What do you think?" Dotun suppressed his anger and motioned for the rest of his companions to withdraw, leaving only Azheba and Liman, "Do you know what the Dragon King's purpose is in doing this? This is...... In a life-and-death struggle, you must not give an inch, but because of your mistakes, I fell behind. ”
Azheba even had a red neck, and he could only say one sentence, "It's my fault." ”
Liman interjected, "Your Highness is too worried, not many people know about the Dragon King's trip, and it won't have much impact in the army." ”
Duotun squinted at Liman, disliking him more and more, if it weren't for Xiao Yan's strong recommendation, Liman wouldn't be reused at all, "Liman, how long have you known the Dragon King?"
"A few months...... Half a year. ”
"What the Dragon King has done for you to see?"
"Yes. ”
"Is he an upright man?"
"Not really. Liman hesitated.
"From the moment he entered the Dragon Court, how many times had he done something unexpected?"
"A lot. ”
"If I say that the dragon king is good at pretending to be a god, it should be correct, right? It is said that this is how the close servants were fascinated by the dragon king. ”
"Uh-" Liman found it difficult to answer.
"Hmph, you're also captivated by him. "The Dragon King is a formidable adversary, and I must assume that all his actions have a purpose, and I would rather guess wrong than let it go." ”
"The Dragon King is a very sane person. Liman boldly said, believing that his duty was not to curry favor with His Royal Highness, but to point out the obvious facts, "His ambition is only in the Western Regions, more specifically Biyu City, His Highness only needs to concentrate on dealing with Luo Luo and Shu Litu, and the Dragon King will choose to ally with the strong." ”
Dotun raised his arm and put it on Dodun's shoulder, and his tone softened greatly, "You're right, only one thing you have forgotten is that the Khan King will not ally with anyone, and the Dragon King will not bow to anyone, so he is destined to be the enemy of the new Khan King, which has nothing to do with where his ambitions are, and it has nothing to do with who inherits the throne." ”
Liman's face changed suddenly, and he wanted to kneel, but he was firmly hugged by Dotun, "Your Highness is right, I was wrong. ”
Don punched Liman and Azheba in the chest, no matter how tired he was, he was still able to make a friendly gesture and smiled, "I may be a little heavy talking, you two won't care, right?"
"No, it won't. The two replied together.
"Shulitu is just a child, there is nothing to be afraid of, our enemies are only two people, Rollo and the Dragon King. ”
"Yes, Rollo and the Dragon King. The two of them repeated together.
There was a hint of fanaticism in Luo Dun's eyes, although the loyalty of these two people was flawed, but the core had not changed, and there was still something to use, "If you want to defeat the Dragon King, you have to be as unscrupulous as the Dragon King." ”
Liman and Azheba raised their heads at the same time, feeling that His Royal Highness had something important to say.
"The Great War is coming, now is not the time to compete with the Dragon King, is it?"
"That's why it's a surprise. Dotun patiently explained that he had the two men in his hands and could reveal some truth, "As for Rollo, I have not forgotten him, in fact, I have already contacted him. ”
Liman and Azheba were taken aback, and looked at the prince blankly, and for a moment neither of them could speak.
Don smiled, yes, that was the effect he wanted.
"But......" Liman finally spoke, "Your Highness and Rollo ......"
"There will be a battle between the two of us, but not this time, Rollo doesn't want to delay here, he wants to fight quickly, turn back to deal with the Central Plains army in the east, and I also want to deal with the enemy in the west first, so we reached an agreement. ”
"Sacrifice the Dragon King on the battlefield?" Liman had already roughly guessed the prince's plan.
"Hmm. Dotun turned around and brushed away the clutter on the table, took out his dagger and stood on it, "Here is the Chinese army, including 10,000 people from the Xiao Yan clan and 40,000 troops from Shulitu, led by that old fellow from Mochu, assisted by Azheba. ”
He raised his arm, and Liman and Azheba hurriedly pulled out their personal daggers.
Dotun stuck the second dagger on his left, "This is the left flank, and it is also to the north, and it is the 60,000 cavalry I brought with me, led by Liman. ”
The third dagger was pierced on the right, and Dotun pointed at it with great force, saying: "Here is the right wing, including less than 50,000 Shulitu troops, plus 20,000 of the Dragon King, led by Li Shun and the one-armed man, and the dragon army is close to the Tianshan Mountains, which is the rightmost wing. ”
"When I made this arrangement, I felt that the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Army was not strong, so I ranked them in the innermost. So far, Prince Dotun has not said anything special, Liman said.
"This is also a dead end, except to turn around and flee, the dragon army has no other room. ”
Azheba also understood a little, "Let the dragon army face Luo Luo alone?"
Most of the dragon army are recruits from the Shule country, with almost no actual combat experience, especially not good at cavalry archery, which can only play an auxiliary role, and without the support of friendly forces, it will definitely be defeated.
Dotun nodded.
Liman and Azheba glanced at each other, and there were many doubts in their hearts, and Liman spoke first, "Will Shulitu's army support the Dragon King and sacrifice them together?"
"Of course not, the Shulitu soldiers are my soldiers, I have already made arrangements, the Shulitu army on the right flank will only blempty and will not participate in the battle. The more surprised the two people around him, the stronger the satisfaction in Dodun's heart, "As for the Chinese army, the 10,000 cavalry of the Xiao Yan clan will obey the command of Azheba, you know what to do." ”
"Yes. ”
"But your mission doesn't stop there, you have to control Mode, and order the entire Chinese army to stay put. ”
Azheba bit her lip and thought for a moment, "I can do it." ”
Dotun slapped him the shoulder, "This is the kind of warrior I want." ”
As for the left wing, commanded by Liman and personally supervised by Dotun, there is nothing to say.
Liman pointed to the opposite side of the three daggers, "What if this is Rollo's trap? ”
"Of course, I won't trust Rollo easily, so let's be prepared, and Rollo gave me a guarantee. Dotun grabbed a wad of scrap paper and placed it a little further to the left, "This is the Naihang tribe, they are here to watch the battle." Rollo assured me that as soon as the battle began, he would order the two armies of the center and right to turn around and attack the Naihang army, and only then would we stand still. ”
"Nahang?" said Azheba even more surprised......
Dotun pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into the paper ball, "The Naihang people are arrogant and want to fight for the throne of the Khan, Luo Luo and I both want to get rid of it, Luo Luo's army attacked, and our army opened the door to welcome the surrender of Naihang soldiers." ”
The conspiracy has taken shape, and even Liman can't find too much fault, his only worry is that the Dragon King is not so easy to deceive, "Does the Xiao Yan clan know His Highness's plan?"
Dotun's face was gloomy, "Will the old Khan tell the woman everything?"
Li Man stopped talking, and Duo Dun softened his tone: "Xiao Yan is a smart person, but she is too deeply influenced by the Dragon King, and the most powerful trick she can think of is to force the Dragon King to join me, this time the plan must be kept secret from her, once the war starts, any of her orders will be invalid, understand?"
"Understood. In fact, Prince Dotun at this moment was more like the lord of the steppe in their minds.
Dotun said to Liman, "Zhesu is your father, and I will spare his life, but the arrogance of the Naishang tribe is not to be condoned." ”
"My father and I have made it clear that each is his own master, he did not support His Highness because of me, and I will not hesitate because of the relationship between father and son. ”
Dotun nodded with satisfaction and said to Azheba: "Don't make a mistake for women, I forgave you once, I hope you won't let me down again, I bet my half life on you." ”
Azheba blushed and wanted to kneel, but was helped up by the prince, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will not do anything to harm Your Highness's interests." ”
Duo Dun said to the two: "You two admire the dragon king, this is normal, in fact, I also think that the dragon king is a talent, but he is too proud, and his requirements are higher than the Naihang clan, I must get rid of him, so that I can free up all my strength to compete with Luo Luo for the throne, can you forget the dragon king for me?"
"Yes. The two almost rushed to say the word.
"Now, the only problem is to encourage the Dragon King to start a war as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night, this requires us to work together, I heard that the Dragon King brought back two Central Plains people, I think we can think of a way in this regard. ”
Both Liman and Azheba have the same idea, either a sincere alliance with the dragon king, or a single blow, the previous attempts of Prince Dotun have failed, but this time, the two of them feel that there is a great hope of success.
In the afternoon of the same day, Dotun and the others prepared for a war of words, changing the strategy of the coalition forces from "facing but not fighting" to "fighting a decisive battle as soon as possible."
Unexpectedly, the dragon king actually robbed them of their words.
"Tomorrow. Gu Shenwei looked around, looking for possible opponents, "I suggest that the war letter be issued immediately, and the decisive battle will be launched tomorrow." ”
