Chapter 827: Help
A frost caused the temperature to drop suddenly, the war horse snorted uneasily, spewing out a large cloud of white gas, Gu Shenwei rode a horse and stood on the high ground, looking at the huge army between heaven and earth.
According to the scout's report, the army assembled north of Qianqi Pass exceeded previous expectations.
Dugu Xian had already sorted out the context, was introducing the situation, stretched out his one-arm and pointed: "To the east of Qianqi Pass, there is a Central Plains army camped against the mountain, which is almost invisible from here, there are about 20,000 people. ”
"Here are the people of the Central Plains?" Gu Shenwei was a little surprised, he originally thought that the garrisons of the Central Plains in the Western Regions had been wiped out.
Dugu Xian nodded, "The main force of the Central Plains of Loulan Country has been defeated, this one is a fish that slipped through the net, probably trying to wait for an opportunity to capture the Thousand Cavalry Pass, but it crashed into Luo Luo's hands." ”
"Luo Luo didn't immediately capture the camp of the Central Plains?"
"I guess Rollo's strategy is like this: Jingzhong will defeat our army with all his might, and if this battle is won, all parties watching the battle will take refuge one after another, and the Central Plains army will also surrender without a fight. ”
Twenty or thirty miles to the north of the Central Plains camp is Luo Luo's army, camped by the river, looking from afar, the endless tents are like a large riverside swamp, and there is no end in sight.
"Rolly's army has exceeded 200,000. Dugu Xian continued, "Many tribes in the east of the grassland rushed to help in the war, and they were stationed in the northwest of Luoluo, with at least thirty or forty thousand people, and they were likely to become a force to disturb the left flank of our army." ”
Dugu Xian's arm continued to move, drawing an arc, pointing in the direction of due north, "There is another group of tribes who have come to watch the battle, they haven't decided which side to support, the closest to us is the Naihang tribe." ”
The Naihang arrived on the outskirts of the battlefield a day early, and waited until the coalition forces arrived, before General Zhisu advanced the camp forward, avoiding the front of Rollo and reducing the hostility of the other side, while at the same time not too far from the coalition forces, showing a unique closeness.
Further north, dozens of tribal armies were scattered across a vast area, maintaining about the same distance from both sides of the decisive battle.
The Naihang tribe came from Gu Shenwei and Liman's persuasion, while the other tribes came uninvited, "They are well-informed enough." Gu Shenwei said that it only took a few days for him to make the decision to face the battle, and so many people came to watch the battle.
"Rollo had already delivered the news of the decisive battle to the tribes. ”
"And our army was the last to know. ”
"Rollo's messenger pinched the time, and the tribes rushed in non-stop, and since yesterday, many tribes have sent people to greet the two highnesses. ”
Gu Shenwei didn't ask any further, this kind of greeting was of little value, how much did Dotun and Shulitu get, and how much Rollo would get, or even more.
It was an open gamble, and the winner would win the allegiance of the vast majority of the clans, thus paving the way for the succession to the throne of the Khan, and the people of the Beiting revered the strong and made no secret of it.
Long Chuanyun reminded: "Someone from the Naihang clan has come. ”
Gu Shenwei also saw more than a dozen knights galloping towards the high ground, Long Chuanyun and fifty guards formed a formation, Tie Linglong drew his sword on guard, Han Fen stretched out his neck to look at it from afar, Mo Lin was the calmest, but moved closer to the Dragon King.
This is all the power around Gu Shenwei.
The person who came was General Zhisu, who stopped ten paces away, ignoring the guards, "Is the Dragon King here to survey the terrain? This is the battlefield, when is the Dragon King going to war?" Everyone is waiting anxiously. ”
Gu Shenwei pointed to the tribal barracks in the north, "The audience hasn't arrived yet, you might as well wait." ”
He quickly glanced back, his eyes crossed the camp of his own clan, most of the cavalry tribes who watched the battle brought not many people, as few as dozens, and the most was only two or three thousand, only the Naihang tribe led 100,000 troops, becoming the most powerful force outside the two sides of the decisive battle.
"Hehe, the dragon king just knows it. I have already sent someone to talk to Luo Luo, and he is very talkative, and agrees to let the Naihang tribe choose the king by themselves. ”
"The general's purpose has been achieved. ”
"Thanks to the Dragon King, if it weren't for your persuasion, the Naihang clan would have missed this opportunity. ”
"Everyone has what they need, and the general doesn't have to be polite. At that time, Gu Shenwei only wanted to inspire the Shulitu army to fight, and the goal was achieved.
"Haha, the Dragon King is straightforward enough, to be honest, I hope you can win, Xiao Wang is the grandson of the King of Chase after all, and he is related to the Naihang clan, and I am more at ease to support him, so the Dragon King works hard, even if it is a draw, I will lead the army to participate in the war." ”
Before the Dragon King could reply, he turned his horse's head around and led the escort away.
"What does he mean after talking for a long time?" Tie Linglong put away the knife and asked suspiciously.
Gu Shenwei looked at the back of the speed, "First, he doesn't believe that our army can win, and Luo Luo's army must have left a deep impression on him; second, in case our army wins, he only supports Shulitu, and I have to get rid of Duo Dun and Xiao Yan." ”
Because of Dorcha's recklessness, the Naihang tribe has lost the possibility of uniting with Dotun.
"Huh. Tie Linglong laughed disdainfully, unlike ordinary guards and killers, she dared to speak in front of the Dragon King, "This guy has a big tone. ”
The Naihang clan is powerful, and their tone will naturally not be small, this has become their habit and tradition, Gu Shenwei has a hunch that this situation will not last long, and the old Khan King wants to cut off the power of the descendants, and his wish will eventually come true.
Dugu Xian said with a little uneasiness: "I've observed long enough, I can go back." ”
This place is quite far away from your own military camp, and you can see the enemy army, and it is easy to be spotted by the enemy army.
Gu Shenwei took the lead and drove down the high ground, first galloping southward, he planned to familiarize himself with the battlefield environment and then turn to the western military camp.
Tie Linglong was the first to notice the anomaly, "Someone is chasing after you again." ”
This time the pursuers came from the east, in the direction of the Rollo barracks.
Long Chuanyun immediately pulled out his long knife, "Please ask the Dragon King and General Dugu to retreat first, and I will come to the back of the palace." ”
Gu Shenwei rode the flame horse, went around in a small circle and turned back, looking at it for a moment, "It's not chasing us." ”
Sure enough, dozens of Beiting cavalry were chasing seven or eight knights, and at the moment when Gu Shenwei and the others were watching, two knights had already fallen from their horses with arrows.
"It may be a trap, but the dragon king should retreat first. Long Chuyun also became suspicious.
Dugu Xian was familiar with the [***] teams and said: "They seem to be chasing the Central Plains people. ”
Gu Shenwei made a quick decision, "Save people." ”
Although Long Chuanyun was not steady in his heart, he still obeyed the order and once again unfolded his formation to prepare for the battle.
Most of the guards he brought out this time were savages who followed the Dragon King, they had been away from the forest for a long time, they still only spoke a small amount of Central Plains dialect, they liked to ride horses, but they had never been proficient, but if they stood still, they had excellent archery skills, far beyond ordinary Beiting soldiers.
Long Chuanyun shouted loudly: "Xiao Wang's soldiers are here!"
The people of the Central Plains who were being chased seemed to recognize them and rushed straight over.
Long Chuyun gave an order, and the guards released arrows at the same time, shooting at the pursuers behind the Central Plains.
More than a dozen Beiting soldiers fell in response, and the rest of them were obviously taken aback and immediately turned their horses and fled.
The people of the Central Plains suffered heavy losses, and only one horse was left running over, with two people on it, and Gu Shenwei knew both.
Fan Yong of the Kongtong faction was pleasantly surprised, "It's really the Dragon King!"
Behind him, Tu Pianpian stood on horseback, holding her nephew's shoulder with one hand and a cane in the other, she was the one who blocked the arrows behind her, "What's strange, I've already said it." Dragonlord, where's my brother?"
Tu Gou and the others were all sent to Biyu City, and Gu Shenwei did not answer Tu Pianpian's question and ordered to return to the camp.
The coalition camp is also located on the mountain and river, covering a vast area.
Gu Shenwei directly took the two of them to his tent, "Say, why did you come here?"
Tu Pianpian snorted, still with only one sentence, "What about my brother?"
Fan Yongda was very embarrassed, and persuaded in a low voice: "Uncle Shi, the Dragon King just saved our lives......
"Do you need it? Without the Dragon King, I can still hold off the pursuers, but I really can't, dismount and kill them all." ”
Fan Yongda smiled bitterly at the Dragon King, he knew very well, if he ran down, people could stand it, and the horses couldn't stand it, as for dismounting and fighting, the Beiting cavalry would not approach at all, they would only shoot at a distance, and if they didn't meet the Dragon King, they would definitely die.
Gu Shenwei was not in a hurry, took the tea brought by Tie Linglong, took a sip, and said coldly: "It seems that you are not in a hurry." With that, he turned to look at the map on the table.
The herald went in and out, and it took a while for the Dragon King's tent to be quiet, during which the two of them were left to the side, Tu Pianpian's face became redder and redder, and Fan Yongda wanted to speak several times, but she stopped him.
In the end, she still gave in, and poked her crutch on the ground, "You win, I can't fight you, and I don't care if the dog is slaughtered or alive......"
Gu Shenwei raised his hand to signal her to shut up, and after a while, he turned around, "Say it." ”
Tu Pianpian's face was red, "What do you mean?
Gu Shenwei nodded, "Because I'm the Dragon King." ”
Fan Yongda couldn't help it, stepped forward, and knelt down on his knees, "Dragon King, we are here to ask you for help." ”
Tu Pianpian was stunned by what the Dragon King said, and when he saw his nephew kneeling, he didn't stop him again, and stood next to him without saying a word.
Gu Shenwei motioned for Fan to get up and speak.
"The 100,000 Central Plains army is trapped, please send troops to rescue the Dragon King, and the two armies will be able to defeat Luo Luo easily. ”
"One hundred thousand?"
Fan Yongda's face flushed, "Hundreds of thousands, seventy or eighty thousand...... 60,000 ......"
"Less than 20,000 people, what kind of cowhide to brag?" Tu Pian scolded sharply, she refused to bow to the Dragon King, but she also didn't want to lie.
Fan Yong's face turned even redder, "Yes, more than 18,000 people, please rescue the Dragon King as soon as possible." ”
Gu Shenwei knocked twice on the table, "This is also the army of the Beiting people, but you want me to save an army from the Central Plains?"
Tu Pianpian hurriedly interjected: "Dragon King, don't you even save your own woman?"
"My woman?"
"The one in Biyu City, what is it called Luo Ning Tea, isn't she your woman?"
Gu Shenwei's face sank, "She is the daughter-in-law of King Dubu, and her husband personally led the team to assassinate the entire Gu family." ”
Tu Pianpian was at a loss, this was different from what Luo Ningcha swore to say.
Fan Yongda took a step forward, was forced to look at by Tie Linglong and Han Fen, retreated again, and said in a low voice: "Tell the Dragon King the truth, there is a big man in the Central Plains Army, if the Dragon King is willing to lend a hand, he promises to let the Central Plains fully support the Dragon King, and even cede the entire Western Regions." ”
Gu Shenwei was silent, waiting for Fan Yongda to continue.
Fan Yongda thought that the Dragon King would drive the guards out, but after waiting for a while, the Dragon King did not react, so he had to say in a lower voice: "The emperor's own uncle ...... today."
Gu Shenwei turned to Tu Pianpian and said, "Tu Gou is fine, he is in Biyu City." ”
