In the endless wilderness, the grass is lush and green.
On the distant mountains, you can still see the yellow traces left by last year.
A small river meanders from the distance like a jade belt, and the sound of water making rice dumplings sounds like the sound of a piano.
A group of deer were drinking water by the river, enjoying themselves leisurely. Water birds stood on the raised rocks in the river, chirping softly and preening their feathers.
Ta-ta-ta!
The sound of intensive horse hoofbeats was heard, water birds flew away in fright, and the deer looked to the left, then turned and walked slowly towards the distant mountains and forests.
Immediately, Sayazi ran away.
Ta-ta-ta!
Thousands of riders galloped past the river.
They followed the river, bypassed a mountain in front of them, turned around, and saw Zhenbei City.
After entering the city, the leading general went to the official residence.
"Is the king here?" the general asked the sergeant guarding the door.
"exist!"
The sergeant stood up straight uncomfortably, and the general smiled and said, "Aren't you used to it yet?"
The sergeant said: "The third prince asked us to do this, and those who don't do it will be punished."
The general laughed and said, "We are from Shegu, and we live freely in the mountains and forests. But things are different now. When we enter the city, we have to learn the rules."
He went all the way in, was greeted outside the lobby, and was immediately taken in.
Diesi sat on it, looking a little listless.
Throughout the winter, the Khan of the Shegu tribe, now the King of Shegu, was like a hard-working worker bee, flying back and forth among the women.
At this moment, more than ten women in his harem were pregnant.
This efficiency has crushed countless men.
The four princes stood at the bottom, and the eldest son Gu Ba was talking.
"Ning Xing sent an army of 100,000, which was more powerful than last time. I said that if Ning Xing is willing, he can bring out an army of one million at any time. This is great. How can he defeat an army of 100,000?
?”
Die Si glanced at the general and said, "Is there any news?"
The general stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, Yeluhe is here."
"An army of one hundred thousand!" Die Si glanced at his third son, Asibao, below.
Gu Ba sneered, "This is not the local garrison like last time, but Rui from Ning Xing. Asibao, do you dare to say that we will win?"
Last time Asibao defeated the 50,000-strong Northern Liao army, which was said to be a miracle by the entire Shegu tribe. But it was only a local army.
The gap between the local army and the real sharp army is not small.
After the beginning of spring, Diesi sent people to the mountains and forests to recruit many men. Today, the Shegu tribe has more than 10,000 men. Asibao also has more than 10,000 men, but most of them are descended from the Northern Liao Dynasty.
He took the soldiers to practice every day, and was ridiculed by Gu Ba and others as a rag picker.
Asibao came out and said with bright eyes: "Northern Xinjiang has sent troops, and Ning Xing cannot deal with us with all his strength. This is the only chance. Otherwise, after Northern Xinjiang retreats, Ning Xing will come with all his strength.
This is the only chance for the Shegu tribe. If we win, we will march straight in. If we lose, the worst we can do is return to the mountains and forests!"
According to his temperament, he should have inspired everyone to fight the enemy with a desperate attitude.
But most of the people here have the mentality of being content with being rich.
Then, it can only be guided.
"But if there is a big defeat and too many people and horses are lost, other tribes will come to annex us after we return to the mountains and forests!"
Gu Ba looked at his brother with an indifferent expression.
"Why did they lose?" Asibao smiled and said: "I said that if you don't have ten thousand, you will be invincible. The last time ten thousand broke through fifty thousand, it was a great victory."
"That's a misleading statement!" said the fourth son, Bedejia, with a smile, very kindly.
"But we won!" Asibao said.
"That's luck!" Bedega laughed.
"No!" Asibao shook his head, "In my opinion, that is not luck, but destiny!"
The lobby was quiet for a moment.
Diesi's eyelids twitched a few times.
"If the dispatch of troops to Northern Xinjiang goes well this time, Yanzhou and Cangzhou will be in danger. What will be left before Ningxing? Just Jiangzhou. Can't you see it? Beiliao has been weakened."
Asibao said: "There is a saying in the Central Plains that if Chen loses his deer, the whole world will chase him away. The deer will die."
It’s the world! Now that the Northern Liao Dynasty is declining, this deer is going to run away. Whoever has quick eyes and quick hands can take over that colorful world. Father, what are you waiting for?"
Thinking about stroking your beard.
This is hesitation.
"Compared with Ningxing, Zhenbei City is just a shabby place. In Ningxing City, there are countless high-rise buildings, countless money and food, and countless beauties. As the Northern Liao Dynasty declines, these things will become ownerless."
"Give it to Yang Xuan of Northern Xinjiang?"
Asibao roared, "Why don't we go and get it!"
"You're seducing!"
Guba sneered and said to Diesi: "Father, it's time for us to go back."
Since learning that Ning Xing had sent an army, such discussions have been held many times, and each time the result was that it would be best to go back.
But some generals behind Asibaohe insisted on persisting.
Today, it’s the last minute.
Everyone looked at Die Si, waiting for his decision.
Diesi loves to enjoy himself and has a strong sense of vanity. What Asibao said was based on his weaknesses.
But what happens in the end depends on God’s will.
Asibao lowered his eyes slightly and thought of Yang Xuan.
That elder brother ruled the northern frontier without any constraints. He could conquer as much as he wanted and govern as he wanted. What a pleasure.
And in the Shegu Department, there were too many people holding him back.
Asibao glanced at the three brothers.
Got three indifferent responses.
The brotherhood has long since disappeared in the sudden wealth.
Diesi coughed dryly, "It's bitter cold in the mountains and forests, food is scarce, and there aren't those skilled doctors, let alone those delicious foods and beauties."
He stood up and said, "None of this matters, what matters is"
Die Si covered his forehead, "I had a dream last night about my late father. He pointed to the south and said, Die Si, that is your destination."
"Father!" Gu Ba walked out gloomily.
Outside the mountains, Asibao has received support from many people. If things continue like this, it will not be his turn to inherit the family business.
Only by returning to the mountains and forests, where everyone is living the same life as before, can he turn the situation around.
But Diesi was obviously moved by Axibao.
So much so that he pulled a trick about his ancestors' dreams.
"Axibao!"
Diesi ignored his eldest son and said kindly to Asibao: "My eagle, go! Take our army and prepare to set off!"
"Take orders!"
Asibao knelt down and said, "All meritorious deeds are due to father's majesty."
Diesi smiled, "The ancestors will bless you." Asibao walked out of the lobby, "Gather the army!"
Woohoo!
At the sound of the trumpet, the army began to gather.
In the bedroom of a house in the city, when the horn was sounded, a disheveled Shegu man rushed out. The man of the house waited for him to leave before entering the bedroom.
In the bedroom, his wife was lying on the bed covered in thorns, with a blank look on her face.
The male host knelt down and said, "God, let these beasts die!"
Woohoo!
The horn sounded in the middle army. Under the banner, Yeluhe stroked his beard. He looked at the fleeing enemy scouts in front and said, "Hurry up, otherwise those savages will escape into the mountains and forests, and it will be difficult to catch them."
"General, there is a messenger from Ning Xing."
Yeluhe turned around and saw more than ten cavalry flying towards the central army.
They were actually wearing sackcloth.
Yeluhe's heart trembled, "This is."
The messenger said solemnly: "Your Majesty has passed away."
Yeluhe was Helianchun's confidant, so he could lead the army alone to suppress the Shegu tribe.
Hearing this, he burst into tears and immediately dismounted and knelt down.
"Your Majesty!"
The envoy said: "Before you leave, Your Majesty asked the eldest princess to listen to the affairs behind the curtain. The eldest princess ordered the general to act with caution. It is a credit to be steady. You must not rush in."
Yeluhe was in an excited mood, "The eldest princess is hanging the curtain?"
At the beginning, he led his army to intimidate the eldest princess's tens of thousands of troops outside the city.
"yes
The envoy said: "This is the edict. All the ministers were here at that time."
These things must be clarified, otherwise there will be endless trouble.
Will the eldest princess hold grudge against me?
Yeluhe stood up and said, "I take your orders!"
The envoy finally confessed: "The eldest princess specially confessed that at this time, no fault is nothing but merit!"
The most important thing at the moment is to stabilize the government and everything.
"I understand."
The messenger left.
The army encamped.
Yeluhe called several close generals to discuss the matter.
"Your Majesty passed away, the prince ascended the throne, and the eldest princess assisted the government behind the curtain."
The expressions of several confidants changed slightly, but they were fine.
"The eldest princess has said that no fault is merit. But if there is no fault, what is Ning Xing waiting for me?" Yeluhe sneered: "As long as the court situation is straightened out, she will definitely attack me and change the general.
Maybe you will find a wrong place to deal with me."
The confidants knew that the handling would not be easy. After all, Lin Ya was by her side. No matter how stupid the eldest princess was, she would not anger the army.
But the possibility of changing generals is very high. After all, if a general who has had conflicts before takes charge of the army, the possibility of changes is too high.
Once Yeluhe switched to Lin Ya, the overall situation changed in an instant.
"General, the envoy said to be steady."
Yeluhe said: "I want to be stable, but the Shegu tribe is so aggressive that I can't avoid it!"
Everyone smiled at each other.
"It's not that we want to fight but if we don't fight, the Shegu people will go to Ningxing."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Amidst the laughter, someone came to report.
"General, the Shegu tribe has sent out troops!"
Yeluhe was perked up, "I was just thinking about how to tease them into sending troops, but unexpectedly they came. It can be seen that God is not kind to me, send troops!"
A hundred thousand troops set out in great force.
Both sides moved forward relative to each other.
"General, can you use the forwards to test?"
A general asked to fight.
Yeluhe nodded, "Send out with five thousand cavalry and do not attack the enemy's main formation."
This is the meaning of testing and guerrilla.
"Take orders!"
Five thousand cavalry attacked with joy.
The 50,000 men who were defeated last time were local troops. To them, they were nothing but rubbish.
The garbage is defeated, let's clean up the mess.
Along the way, I met hundreds of scouts from the Shegu tribe.
"run!"
The people of Shegu are fierce, but to be a scout, one must not only be fierce, but also cunning.
If there are more than a hundred cavalry and five thousand cavalry, it would be foolish for you to take the initiative.
Just run away!
"Chase!"
There is a mad pursuit here.
When Qianyu Shegu's cavalry appeared in front, the forward general shouted: "The first victory is ours!"
Five against one!
We are not idiots like the local army, how can we lose?
"Kill!"
When the more than a thousand riders saw them, they didn't just run away, but their eyes lit up.
"Kill!"
The vanguard, composed of five hundred ancient people from She and six hundred former Northern Liao prisoners, crashed into it.
"Why hasn't the striker come back yet?"
Yeluhe said with some dissatisfaction.
"Perhaps it's because of the ambition of pursuing it." Someone laughed.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Everyone laughed.
Someone pointed ahead and said, "They are back."
Dozens of cavalry came flying in on horseback.
"What did you find?"
"Perhaps the Shegu people ran away?"
The civil servant who spoke glanced at Yeluhe and smiled sarcastically when he saw the general's unhappy expression.
Everyone had guessed that Yeluhe wanted to use his military exploits to compete with the eldest princess since he decided to continue sending troops.
If the Shegu people ran away, Yeluhe's charge of attacking without authorization would be confirmed.
The dozens of cavalrymen galloped all the way. After entering the central army, the helmets of the generals who led them were gone. The cavalrymen were expressionless and most of them were injured.
"Did we encounter the main force of the Shegu tribe?" Yeluhe asked.
"It's their vanguard!" The general gasped, and everyone could see the joy of escaping from death.
"How many men and horses?"
general:"."
"How many men and horses?"
"More than a thousand."
Five thousand were defeated by more than a thousand!
There are not even ten thousand people in the ancient world, but ten thousand people are invincible!
"The enemy is attacking!"
Ahead, more than 800 Shegu forwards appeared.
Those former Northern Liao prisoners looked particularly ferocious at this moment, just like beasts.
"Yo ho!"
The Shegu people began to provoke.
"General! Fight or retreat?" the civil servant asked.
"Array up!"
Yeluhe said in a deep voice: "The forward underestimates the enemy's carelessness."
The general who fled back was shocked and said, "General, the people of Shegu are fierce."
Choking!
The sword flashed and the general's head fell to the ground.
Yeluhe said: "If anyone is slacking off, behead him!"
Everyone couldn't help but feel awe-struck.
At this moment, Yeluhe had no way out.
If he were to evacuate, he would give priority to stability according to what Chang Ling said. If someone reported that he insisted on marching, he still could not escape the fate of being idle.
Only counterattack!
An army of one hundred thousand, ten against one!
What am I afraid of?
Ahead, the Shegu army is coming.
"More than 20,000!"
The voice was a little trembling.
"There aren't that many people in the Shegu tribe, most of them are prisoners!"
Yeluhe said.
The Eagle Guard accompanying the army said: "The third prince of the Shegu tribe, Asibao, took more than ten thousand prisoners for training, most of them were his men."
Everyone felt relieved.
The Shegu people seemed to be forming a team in a somewhat chaotic manner.
"Don't wait for the enemy to form their formation and attack!"
Yeluhe decided to make a surprise attack.
"Attack!"
Naturally, the 100,000-strong army cannot rush forward at once. Instead, it is divided into three groups, the middle, the left and right, and the reserve group behind.
"If you are fierce, you will crush the Shegu people in one go!"
Yeluhe had studied the previous battle, and the generals in that battle fought in a precise manner. Both sides opened up their positions and started fighting. But the ancients did not play this with you, but played heart-wrenching tactics.
I will fight under the banner of your Chinese army!
Therefore, Yeluhe took advantage of the Shegu people's unsteady foothold to launch a general offensive.
Do you still want to get into your heart?
I'll slap you to death first!
On the opposite side, Die Si saw the enemy's strength and couldn't help shouting: "Axi Bao!
Gu Ba trembled all over, "Father."
Asibao shouted from the front: "Where are my people?"
"Third Prince!"
The more than 10,000 prisoners and hundreds of Shegu people shouted: "Here!"
The other Shegu people are still forming a chaotic team. They are enjoying following their king this winter, while Asibao is training hard with the captives.
Asibao stood up on his horse and raised his long sword: "Follow me and kill the enemy!"
The more than 10,000 people shouted, "Kill the enemy!"
