Intensity
When King Rizhu and King Otu met in Dongqemi Country, Zhang Yue also set his sights on Dongqemi Country.
The name of the country Dongqie Mi is actually somewhat insulting.
The original meaning of the word Qimi is a lustful monkey.
The Dongqiemi Kingdom was originally just a small kingdom, nomadic in the Duixu Valley (now Urumqi).
In recent years, due to the introduction of farming technology, the country has gradually settled down and has become a semi-nomadic and semi-settled country.
The intelligence data obtained by Zhang Yue records that the Dongqiemi Kingdom has only about 2,000 people in Dingkou and less than 600 cavalry. It is a real small country.
But the geographical location of this country is too important. It is right in the middle of the Huns' Rizhuwang tribe and Oituo tribe.
Occupying this place can not only cut off the connection between the two Xiongnu tribes, but also frighten the countries in the northwestern region at the same time.
When Zhang Yue was thinking about conquering the country in the east, a group of Han cavalry braved the wind and snow to arrive outside the Han army's southern barrier.
"Who is coming?"
The person in charge of the alert at this time was Zhao Yi, who asked loudly.
"A certain person is Geng Shu, the captain of the Second Division's military academy. Following the orders of the Second Division's general, he came to the Yunyang Marquis' tent to listen to his orders..."
"Gengshu!"
Zhao Yi felt that the name seemed a bit familiar, and it took him a while to realize that this person was the commander of the personal guards of the General of the Second Division!
In the previous chapter, the king and the prince met each other when they went to the Second Division General's Mansion.
Zhao Yi looked at Geng Shu carefully and vaguely recognized the person.
The cavalry behind him were all equipped with horses, bows, and swords.
Such equipment is not something that ordinary people can fake.
Even so, Zhao Yi still did not dare to be careless.
He said loudly, "Captain, please wait a moment. I will report this to you right now!"
He immediately sent someone to report the news to Zhang Yue, but he himself continued to guard the fortress wall without relaxing his vigilance at all.
"What, General Ershi actually sent Geng Shu here!"
Zhang Yue was shocked when he received the news of Geng Shu's arrival.
This Geng Shu was Li Guangli's personal guard commander, and his troops were also carefully selected elites.
Although it is not as good as the Yulin and Huqi armies, it is not much different.
Zhang Yue packed up the map and led the people quickly towards the gate of the barrier.
"Junhou!"
"Where are the people?"
Zhao Yi replied, "Just outside the door!"
Zhang Yue heard this and quickly climbed up the high wall.
At this time, Geng Shu was holding the horse and waiting patiently.
Zhang Yue took a quick look and found that it was indeed Geng Shu himself.
"Open the door!"
"promise!"
"Crunch!"
The door slowly opened, and Zhang Yue led Zhao Yi and others to welcome him out.
"Greetings to the Lord!"
Seeing Zhang Yue, Geng Shu bowed his hands from afar.
Although Geng Shu is usually quite arrogant, he is not stupid.
Although on the surface he and Zhang Yue are competing for two thousand stones, in reality they are fundamentally different.
Coupled with Li Guangli's explanation when he came, he naturally faced Zhang Yue with the attitude of a subordinate.
Zhang Yue stepped forward quickly, hugged Geng Shu's arms and said with a smile, "I never thought that Gong would come here..."
Geng Shu also smiled and said, "I am here under the orders of General Li... to listen to the orders in the king's tent!"
Zhang Yue laughed and said, "With the help of Mr. Geng, there is no need to worry about failing to achieve great things!"
At this time, Zhao Yi also knew and said from the side, "Your Majesty, the soldiers are still in the snow. Let's go back to the camp first!"
Zhang Yue patted his head and said, "I am so happy. Let's quickly bring the soldiers into the camp and prepare hot meals..."
"promise!"
After ordering everyone, Zhang Yue turned to Geng Shu and said, "Sir, follow me into the camp..."
Geng Shu said, "Your Majesty, you are so polite. I am here to obey your orders..."
After settling down the soldiers brought by Geng Shu, Zhang Yue asked Geng Shu, "What orders does General Li have when Colonel Geng comes here?"
Geng Shu shook his head and said, "General Li has no special instructions. He just hopes that the prince can capture Tu Er alive as much as possible!"
Zhang Yue was silent for a moment and said, "Gong Li is also a good friend of Zhang Yue. General, I will sacrifice the heads of Tu Er and Che Shi Wang to my friend..."
…
After King Otuo met with King Rizhu, he quickly left Dongqimi and returned to his tribe.
King Richu continued to stay in Dongqiemi. After the spring, he fought with the Han army. King Richu did not intend to use his own troops and horses.
The battle two years ago had already injured Ri Zhubu's muscles and bones, and Ri Zhubu was still far from recovering from that battle.
This time, his plan was to use a small number of cavalry from his headquarters, plus soldiers from other countries in the northwestern region, to fight Zhang Yue's tribe in a decisive battle.
His plan is actually feasible. The countries surrounding East Qimi are actually very different from the countries in the south and west.
These countries are actually small tribes that split from Wusun.
These countries are not city-states, but individual kingdoms. In the words of the Huns, they are all people who lead the bow.
It is precisely because of the same living habits that these countries are inherently inclined to the Xiongnu.
The war between Han and Hungary has been going on for so many years, and the countries in the southern and western regions have either surrendered to the Han, or they are on opposite ends of the spectrum between Han and Hungary.
But the countries in the northwestern region always stood firmly on the side of the Xiongnu.
Zhang Yue wanted to attack Dongqiemi. In addition to the important strategic location of Dongqiemi, it was also an important consideration to conquer the countries in the northern and western regions and cut off the Xiongnu.
In order to achieve his goal, the Sun Chaser King issued a summons to all countries regardless of the influence of the weather.
The kings were ordered to lead their armies to assemble in Duixu Valley half a month later.
After receiving the order, all countries had no choice but to succumb to the lustful power of the Sun Chaser King despite all their reluctance.
Half a month later, from all the countries, you got 200 and I got 300. At least we managed to collect 2,000 horses.
The Sun Chaser King was obviously not very satisfied with this. He originally thought he could raise 3,000 riders.
However, he also knew that what he did also offended the public, so he stopped forcing other countries.
Fortunately, when he came to Dongqemi, he brought more than 700 cavalry with him, and there were also more than 600 cavalry in Dongqemi country.
After the beginning of spring, there will be 3,000 cavalry available, which is enough in quantity.
In order to improve the combat effectiveness of this group of Wuhe people, King Ri Zhui integrated these cavalry into three thousand cavalry teams of left, center and right, and appointed his brother Tu Zhuo as the commander-in-chief and commander of the middle thousand cavalry.
King Dongqiemi and King Xiqiemi served as the left and right Qianqi commanders respectively.
Naturally, King Ri Zhu's actions in the eastern Qemi kingdoms could not be hidden from the Wusun people who were just around the corner.
However, Wusun, who was a nominal ally of the Han army, chose to sit on the sidelines this time.
Zhang Yue's series of actions in the South and Western Regions in recent years have caused dissatisfaction among some Wusun people.
Weng Guimi, who had always obeyed Princess Jieyou, actually concealed the truth about Princess Jieyou this time.
However, Weng Guimi did not do anything. He had secretly mobilized more than 5,000 cavalry, ready to intervene in the battle between Han and Hungary at any time.
…
At the same time, King Otu, who returned to his tribe, also began to summon soldiers from the Pulei kingdoms.
The unusual movements of the Pulei kingdoms were quickly detected by the Han army, and the news was quickly conveyed to Zhang Yue through couriers.
Zhang Yue did not panic after learning about the changes in the Pu Lei countries. After some research, a bold plan appeared in his mind...
