The World Heroes 99_The World Heroes full text free to read_Chapter 99: Unexpected gains come from
The southward advance of 30,000 Turkic cavalry broke the balance between the Sui and Tu armies, making the battle situation in Mayi County subtle again. This time, the Turks took the initiative. Jie Li Khan seized the weakness of the Sui army. He began to withdraw his troops northward, crossed the Wuzhou Mountain Pass, and retreated towards Qifubo.
He wanted to lead the Sui army to the grassland to fight to the decisive battle. He knew that the 30,000 Turkic troops heading south were like a rope, holding the Sui army. They had to fight with themselves as soon as possible to solve the danger in the south.
But nothing will be perfect. Although Jie Li Khan's plan to retreat north was to fight the Sui army on the grassland, not everyone agreed. As soon as the night fell, the Turkic army crossed the Wuzhou Pass and stood on the grassland with a large tent.
Jie Li Khan stood in front of the map and carefully checked the location of the Sui army. He received a report from the patrol. The main force of the Sui army was following them. Just about forty miles away from them, Jie Li Khan squinted his eyes and laughed proudly. He felt that he had caught a big fish.
The decisive battle should start tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, his 200,000 troops will defeat the Sui army in one fell swoop. After this battle, he does not have to rush back to the grassland. He will stay in Hedong to spend this most unforgettable and glorious winter in his life, and return to the grassland after next spring.
At this moment, the Uighur chief Pei Saliu's hoarse voice sounded outside the tent, "I want to see Khan, you let me in."
"No! Khan has an order, he is considering military affairs and is not allowed to disturb him."
"It's important, you must let me in." Pei Sa's voice became a little impatient.
Jie Li Khan walked to the door and said coldly: "You guys let him in!"
Pei Sa strode into the tent of the king and said worriedly: "Khan, we must withdraw our troops immediately and we cannot drag them down!"
"Why?"
Jie Li Khan narrowed his eyes again, looking at Pei Sa coldly. He didn't believe that the Uighurs would not know his intention? He actually proposed to retreat north at this critical moment. What does Pei Sa mean and what is his purpose? Are he still dissatisfied with the last distribution plan?
The last time the distribution plan was discussed, Xue Yantuo and the Uighurs broke up, and Jie Li Khan finally gave in. He found Pei Sa and said that although it was him who decided to distribute the spoils, he would discuss with Pei Sa in advance, so that the last dispute was resolved.
Just a few days later, the Uighurs were once again making a fuss at the critical moment, which made Jie Li Khan angry. He restrained his dissatisfaction and waited for Pei Sa to give him a reason.
Pei Sa walked out of the tent quickly and pointed to the northern sky and said to Jie Li Khan: "Didn't Khan see the dark clouds over there? A few days ago, there were still dark clouds. Now it has accumulated like ink. What kind of celestial phenomena is this? Which grassland man would not understand. Did Khan really ignore it?"
Pei Sa's words even the Turkic guards next to him became a little uneasy. They all knew that it was a sign of a blizzard on the grassland. It was already snowing in the northern grassland, but the blizzard had not moved here yet. But it would arrive soon, at most two or three days later.
Jie Li Khan was unmoved at all, how could he not know? He knew better than anyone else that the blizzard was coming, and he was actually very clear that the grassland could no longer go back, so he decided to spend the winter in Hedong.
The war has reached its most critical moment. At this time, even if the world is a knife, this battle must be fought.
"Great Chief, go back! The war is about to begin, don't affect morale."
Jie Li Khan's tone was very cold. He was a very cold person in his bones. In the eyes of the Turks, whether it was the Uighurs, Xueyantu, or the Khigas, these Tiel people were slaves of the Turks, the inferior nations conquered by them. In front of the supreme Turkic Khan, they did not have the qualification to have equal dialogue. They did not raise objections and accuse him of his qualifications.
Jie Li Khan couldn't help it, and the anger in his heart was almost unable to be restrained. He was about to be provoked. He stared at Pei Sa with sharp eyes like a knife, and his hand slowly pressed on the hilt. Pei Sa dared to say "No!" again, and he slaughtered the person.
The subconscious action of the other party pressing the handle of the knife shocked Pei Sa. He took two steps back. At this time, he had already felt the murderous intent in the other party's eyes. Pei Sa lowered his head. At this critical moment, he could no longer stimulate the other party, he saved his life first.
Pei Sa pressed his hand on his chest and bowed, "The Great Turkic Khan is the leader of the grassland. All the wild geese on the grassland should follow you, and the Uighurs are no exception. I will say goodbye."
Jie Li Khan's hand holding the hilt gradually loosened, and a hypocritical smile appeared on his face, "Go! I hope that on the battlefield against the Sui army, I can see the eagle-like figures of the Uighur warriors."
Pei Sa bowed again and stepped down. Jie Li Khan looked at his figure walking away and couldn't help but sneer. The useless cord must be scared to be obedient. Of course, Jie Li Khan would not really kill Pei Sa. On the eve of the upcoming war, he did not want to trigger internal strife.
......
Pei Sa returned to his tent and paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. He was extremely anxious. He was not entirely anxious because of the coming of the blizzard, but because of the future of the Uighurs.
More than ten years ago, Wei He, Pugu, Tongluo, and Bayegu's Tielite tribes could not bear the enslavement of the Turks, and formed an anti-Turkish alliance, which was unified as the Uighurs. Although they once broke free from the control of the Turks, they were soon conquered by the Turks because of the strong rise of the Qimin tribe.
The Turks' defeat in Fengzhou two years ago made the Tiel tribes see hope again. However, the Turks' strong control made them in a cliff situation where they have taken a step back and the sky is wide, and further they are surrounded by spider silk.
Pei Sa had realized that now both the Turks and Tiel tribes were on the eve of intense change. Either the Turks defeated the Sui Dynasty and became stronger again. The Tiel tribes fell from then on, or the Turks failed, and the Tiel tribes moved towards ** from then on.
But no matter what, he should have done something. Pei Saxin made up his mind and finally made up his mind.
He walked to the door of the tent and ordered: "Call Tu Midu!"
After a moment, a young thousand-strong leader walked into the tent and bowed, "Is there anything wrong with the chief who is looking for me?"
This young commander named Tu Midu is only eighteen years old this year. He is known as the number one warrior of the Uighurs. He is Pei Sa's commander of the guard and the person he trusts the most.
Pei Sa took out a letter and handed it to him, whispering: "You go south immediately, find the Sui army camp, and hand the letter to King Yang Yuanqing of Chu in person."
.........
At this time, Yang Yuanqing's main force of the Sui army was only forty miles away from the Turkic camp. When night fell, they also set up the camp. At this time, Yang Yuanqing had already seen Jie Li Khan's desperate bet. Even if a blizzard came, the Turks would not retreat northward.
Moreover, the celestial phenomena in the north have clearly shown that a blizzard was raging the grassland. In fact, the Turks could no longer go back, and they could only fight with their backs. Yang Yuanqing had no choice but to do so. If he didn't deal with the Turks, he would not be able to go back to deal with the Tang Dynasty's invasion crisis.
This is a key battle that concerns whether the northern border is calm. If you win this battle, the northern border will have a ten-year calm period, and Yang Yuanqing can concentrate on unifying the world.
At this time, Luo Shixin appeared beside him and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, you have a Turkic problem in Huyi. I have always been confused. I want to ask Your Highness to solve the problem."
Yang Yuanqing looked back at him and smiled and said, "The entire Sui Dynasty knew about the Turks. Apart from Changsun Sheng, it was probably me, Yang Yuanqing. Tell me! What are you confused about?"
Luo Shixin bit his lips and said, "When His Highness was young, he participated in the battle against the Turks in the 19th year of Kaihuang and the 20th year of Kaihuang. At that time, the Sui army had defeated hundreds of thousands of troops in the Western Turks with 100,000 troops. When we were in Fengzhou, we also defeated the 300,000 Turks with 70,000 troops. This time, the general manager fought against the 200,000 Turks with nearly 100,000 troops. Why were he so cautious and careful...?"
Yang Yuanqing laughed, "You are saying that I am afraid of my hands and feet and dare not fight, right?"
Luo Shixin lowered his head, "I don't have this meaning in humble position, but your highness is a little too cautious."
Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "The reason is very simple. Because I can't afford to lose this battle. If I lose this battle, it will be the time when the Sui Dynasty is destroyed. So I must be cautious and cautious. I would rather destroy the 30,000 Turkic troops in the hinterland of Hedong, and would rather the Tang army occupy the inner road of the pass, and would rather Wang Shichong be destroyed. I must be cautious and careful. There is only one goal, that is, I must win this battle."
Luo Shixin was mainly worried about the serious damage caused by the 30,000 Turkic troops to the east of the east hinterland. He volunteered to go south several times, but Yang Yuanqing just refused to be sure, which made him extremely worried.
"I can understand our current situation, but your Highness can let Li Jing lead more than 10,000 of his men to the south and hold 30,000 Turkic troops, without causing too serious consequences."
Yang Yuanqing understood his concerns, so he patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Don't worry too much. Although the Turkic cavalry will cause great damage to the hinterland of Hedong, most of the people have moved to Taiyuan City, that is, the houses and the city has been destroyed. As long as there is no one, these can be rebuilt. Moreover, there are 5,000 defenders in Huoyi County, so the Turks cannot kill the south. At most, they will be in Taiyuan and Xihe County. Besides, the decisive battle will be held tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Don't think about the matters in the south anymore."
After a pause, Yang Yuanqing said earnestly: "The Turkic army is different from before. The Turkic army used to be very poorly equipped, and they were all temporary herdsmen, and their combat effectiveness was weak. However, the Turkic army is not as weak as the armor of the Sui army. More importantly, this time the Turkic Khan was personally expeditioned, with 100,000 guards. The 100,000 guards were well trained and were the most elite army of the Turkic army. The combat effectiveness was no less than that of the Sui army cavalry. In a battle tomorrow, it would be a battle between the two sides' command capabilities and our two heavy armored armies. To be honest, I am not sure of winning."
Luo Shixin nodded silently, "I understand. If you fight tomorrow, you will never underestimate the enemy!"
At this moment, a soldier rushed to report: "Your Highness, there was a person outside the camp, claiming to be sent by the Uighur chief, and asked to see Your Highness!"
