Chapter 2095 The snail-like Qiangzhao coalition finally arrived
Seeing Li Ke's appearance, Cheng Chubi certainly knew why this guy wanted to join him.
He spread his hands helplessly and said.
"Then whoever stays, there must be someone in charge of this Yuben City, right?"
Li Ke glanced around and quickly landed on the face of Ren Yaxiang, with a very solemn and authentic expression.
"Ren joins the army. At this time, I can only move forward with peace of mind if I ask you to stay here.
In addition, I also ask that after you have received General Fang’s troops, ask him to leave one of his troops to guard here while the main force continues to move north.”
"I'm here to stay?" Ren Yaxiang looked at the two of them in confusion, and pointed at his nose with his finger.
"Yes!" Cheng Chubi and Li Ke nodded in unison.
"..." Ren Yaxiang wiped his face, what else could he say?
If Fang Jun, the last demon moth in the trio, knew that he had taken on this hard job.
There is nothing to gain except following behind and eating dust. Tsk tsk...
Just thinking about it with your toes, you can imagine that if Fang Erlang knew the news, his face would definitely be more resentful than that of a deep-seated and resentful woman.
Just as the two of them were about to leave, someone came to report that thousands of troops were heading towards Yuben City.
It's just that they claimed to be rebels from the Qiang and Zhao tribes, and came to support them on orders from the Yaozhou Governor's Office.
"These guys are here too?" Cheng Chubi grinned. The gang moved slowly like a snail, and finally jumped out to gain a sense of presence.
"How many troops did they come?"
"It looks like four to five thousand soldiers and horses..."
"...They have more than ten tribes, with a population of nearly 100,000, only four or five thousand?"
All the civil and military personnel in the hall were happy at this moment.
"No, what do those guys want to do? Four thousand people are here to join in the fun?"
"Our population in Erhai Liuzhao is only about the same as theirs, and the number of troops we send is several times theirs."
"It's not like they think that our Tang Dynasty can't defeat Tubo, so they haven't mobilized manpower before, so they hurried here just now to take the credit?"
"Haha, is there any need to say that? When our brothers tried to persuade them, one and two of them were very embarrassed."
"I must feel that we are just talking nonsense about Cheng Xianchang's abilities, and I must be frightened now..."
Listening to the discussion coming from the hall, Cheng Chubi and Li Ke didn't know what to say.
Li Ke complained unhappily.
"At that time, we tried our best to get them to send troops to help, but after waiting for a long time, we didn't see anyone."
"Now that we are close to taking over the city that should be taken, they are coming to support us at this time? It is simply unreasonable."
Cheng Chubi patted Li Ke on the shoulder and pushed the unhappy His Highness King Wu forward.
"They didn't think favorably of us before, but now they suddenly think favorably of us again.
No matter what, it’s better to come than not to come, right?
We are about to lead the army to the city of Chavarrong. We have divided our troops to defend the city, but now we don't have many manpower.
Since they are here, it can be regarded as timely rain."
After hearing what Cheng Sanlang said, Li Ke nodded helplessly.
There is no way, after all, the speed of attacking the city and plundering the land is too fast, causing the main army to be unable to keep up with the rhythm.
Previously, they had left a thousand cavalry to guard the important iron bridge town, but now they only had a thousand cavalry on hand.
That's why Cheng Sanlang just proposed to lead five hundred elites to rush over first to deal with the Subi tribe who had captured Chawarong City.
"Let's go over together and have a good deal with them. If they don't shed some blood, haha... they won't even think of getting any benefit from our hands."
#####
Not long after, Cheng Chubi and Li Ke arrived outside the south gate of Yuben City. At this moment, the five thousand soldiers and horses were focused here.
On the first day of Daqiang, Obuji twitched his thick beard uneasily, and the expressions of the dozen or so tribal leaders around him were not much better.
However, when they saw Cheng Sanlang and His Highness King Wu arriving hand in hand, everyone let out a loud sigh in unison.
A group of people hurried forward and were already praying from a distance.
After Li Ke turned over and jumped off his horse, he looked at the Qiang Zhao leader who was greedy for life and feared death with a smile, and said meaningfully.
"Chiefs, I have been waiting for you for a long time..."
After hearing this, Riwobuji quickly prostrated himself deeply, grabbed the ground with his head, and said tremblingly.
"His Royal Highness King Wu, we have not mobilized troops and horses for many years. For a while, it was difficult to raise food and grass for the troops, horses and horses, so we arrived late. Please punish your Highness severely."
Li Ke did not help, but looked at the dozen leaders in silence.
The long silence made the leader of Qianqiang Zhao feel more and more uneasy.
Only then did Li Ke say: "I wonder how many soldiers and horses the Riwo Qiang leader has brought?"
Hearing Li Ke's voice that showed no emotion or anger, Riwobuji raised his eyelids and saw Li Ke's face that looked like a smile but not a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes.
The expression on the side of Cheng Xianchang, who single-handedly defeated 20,000 Tibetan elites, didn't look very good either.
The sweat on Riwo Buji's face immediately fell down, he gritted his teeth and spoke loudly.
"Your Highness, the villain has brought 2,500 troops and horses, and the rest of the troops were put together by other tribes."
"!!!" The leaders of the more than ten tribes all showed faces of unbelievable shock.
The fierce look in his eyes fell on Riwo Buji, and he wished he could pounce on him and beat him.
I never expected that this Hong Lang Qiang leader with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who usually seemed very upright, could be so stern.
How dare you reveal everyone's secrets at this time? Didn't we agree that we should all be together, bah... advance and retreat together, but you're so damn quick to give up.
What are we going to do?
Fortunately, the leaders of this gang who are greedy for life and afraid of death are also old oilmen. Immediately, one of the imperial edict leaders quickly fell to the ground and replied loudly.
"Your Highness, there are not many young men in our clan, and there are not many brave men even more."
"The villain also considered that when the Yaozhou Prefecture's army came this time, there were not many cavalry. The villain thought that instead of recruiting people to make up the number, it would be better to select all the elites.
So I brought here all the three hundred warriors from my clan who know how to bow and horse."
After hearing this, the other Qiang and Zhao leaders couldn't help but their eyes lit up, and they all expressed the same attitude.
But what is the reality? The reality is that when they first gathered their troops, they considered a question, well, before thinking about victory, they should consider defeat first.
If they jumped over to help the Tang army and the Tang army was defeated by the Tibetan elite, wouldn't these young men of all ethnic groups become ironclad evidence that they helped the Tang army?
