"Special Service, why is this?"
The old man was shocked and pale.
Shetu glanced at him calmly, "I can't beat him."
The old man hurriedly said: "How could Teller retreat without a fight? How could he know he couldn't defeat him even if he had never fought? I thought Teller was a world-famous warrior, and everyone was in awe of him, but I didn't know he was so cowardly. He only heard that the enemy was sending troops, so he
Wanting to escape is sad and deplorable, to think that such a hero as Ili Khan had such a son!"
"I really misjudged the people. Qi people are weak, and Teller is not as good as these Qi people!!"
Hearing what the other party said, Shetu laughed, "Since you are so weak, why don't you fight?"
The old man had a meal.
"Think about what a hero Yuwen Khan was back then. Why did he have such subordinates? He saw Qi people passing by, but he didn't dare to send troops. Could it be that he wanted to use their hands to deal with his own allies?"
The old man quickly shook his head, "Teller, how dare you, how dare you."
He hurriedly changed his tone, "If you evacuate now, you have so many subordinates. I'm afraid you will be caught up by the Qi people not long after you leave. By then, you will no longer have the ability to fight back and can only let the enemy do it."
Slaughter!"
"It's okay, just leave some things behind and leave with a group of people."
"Ah, Teller was ordered to come here to rectify the tribes of the creeping tribes. Now that the tribes have just surrendered, you have to abandon them and leave. This will damage the reputation of the Khan. I'm afraid the Khan will not forgive you. Even if he does, the tribes of the creeping tribes will not be spared.
The department will no longer trust you, and all the hard work over the past few years will be in vain."
The old man was still trying to persuade the other party to take the initiative to fight. He even said: "If Teller can send troops, we are also willing to send troops to cut off their retreat and attack Qi people from both sides!!"
Shetu stood up, picked up the wine vessel on the side, drank it all in one gulp, and then threw it aside.
He walked up to the old man in a few steps and lowered his head.
"Thank you for informing me. I will definitely tell the Khan the truth and let him not forget the help from his allies."
After he finished speaking, he hurriedly led his followers away from here, leaving only these Zhou people standing there blankly.
A slightly younger man scolded: "Mr. Zhang, if I had known this, it would be better not to come and let them fight here. I didn't expect this guy to be so cowardly."
The old man narrowed his eyes and looked solemn.
"The sons of the Turkic Khans are brave and have no plans. They only know how to show off their ferocity and fight fiercely. But this guy is different. If you can win him over, he will be a good eagle dog for me, Great Zhou."
The young man said displeasedly: "How can you be a hawk and a dog if you are so timid?"
"He retreated because he knew that he was not strong enough. Mugan Khan only gave him two thousand knights. The rest of his followers were all the creeps who had just surrendered. He wanted to lead these people to fight He Bacheng. He Bacheng
I can beat him to the point of annihilation."
"It's better to retreat and save some strength. Maybe you can use it in the future."
"No matter how you say it, the Turks have been offended anyway, and there is no possibility of reconciliation between them and the Eastern thieves. With Ashina Yandu's character, he will never give up. It is a great thing."
"Prepare the carrier pigeon quickly, we have to evacuate as soon as possible."
"only!!"
"kill!!!"
The cavalry all over the mountains and plains launched a charge, but for just a moment, it seemed that the entire Xinshan Mountain was shaking.
The fence fell down and the yurt made a crashing sound.
The herdsmen stuck their heads out in horror, watching the tide-like army coming towards them in the distance.
They screamed and fled on horseback.
There were cries and roars from everywhere.
Some knights immediately formed a formation, preparing to counterattack with the help of fences and horses.
The next moment, a torrent of knights rushed into the tent. The knights at the forefront were fully armed. Even the horses under their crotches were covered in heavy armor. They were almost as tall and strong as the mountain peaks. The herdsmen
They counterattacked with bows and arrows. Those arrows were hung on the knight's armor in twos and threes, but they could not affect the opponent's speed at all. When the torrent rolled into the tooth tent, the entire tooth tent was instantly destroyed!!!
The knights were like black waves, rolling up high and shattering their tents in an instant. The soldiers just raised their spears, and the next moment they were submerged by the black torrent and could no longer make a sound.
.
They surged all the way from the left side of the tent, destroying everything in front of them. The fences were knocked over, and the yurts were torn apart. It seemed that nothing could stop the charge of these cavalry. Every time the horses landed,
They all made a huge noise. When tens of thousands of cavalry charged at the same time, the sound resounded through the sky, like thunder. The herdsmen began to flee back in despair, but they were swallowed up by the torrent a moment later.
Liu Taozi charged at the front, covered with heavy armor and holding a horse spear. The green lion was also covered in armor. At first glance, it looked like a hill. He didn't even have to wave his weapon. He just charged forward on horseback, one after another.
The enemy screamed and fell down, then was trampled to pieces by the horses' hooves and turned into mud.
War drums beat in bursts, and flags moved forward with the torrent.
Light cavalry rushed out from both sides, armed with short bows, and began to chase those who escaped.
The cattle and sheep ran around in fear, and the pen they lived in had long been destroyed.
The quiet and peaceful tooth tent has an aura of doom at this moment.
When Liu Taozi led the knights to fight from the left side of the tent to the right side, he just reined in the reins.
The tent is so huge that it is like a city made up of countless yurts.
But when Liu Taozi turned around, the city could no longer be seen in the distance.
Everything was overturned and trampled to pieces. Everything turned into mud and stuck to the ground. You couldn't even see the slightest protuberance. Behind them, there was only a flat plain with wood on it.
, human, and animal fragments, they were intertwined and spread out flatly on the ground. The entire tent was like being pushed by a 'steamroller' at high speed, but not even ruins were left behind.
The light cavalry chased them everywhere, and the herdsmen jumped off their horses and knelt on the ground to ask for surrender.
The cattle, sheep and horses scattered all over the mountains and fields, and the light cavalry drove the livestock together with strange screams.
Liu Taozi frowned, not feeling the joy of winning at all.
During this battle, they encountered no resistance at all, and they did not even see an armored enemy.
Could it be that he took a detour to attack his own back road??
At the same time, dozens of miles away, Shetu stood on a high slope on horseback, listening to the sounds in the distance.
He took another sip from the wine bag and looked extremely calm.
A knight stood behind him, looking into the distance with anger on his face.
"It's a pity that Qi Ren, the damned Qi people, who have worked so hard for us in the past two years, ruined my account today, will definitely pay back tenfold in the future!"
Photographer sneered, "What's the pity?"
"I told my uncle at the beginning that the herdsmen here should be moved to the north. Wouldn't it be very beneficial for us to fight between Zhou and Qi? Why rush to get involved?"
"Stay away, watch them beat each other, scramble to honor us, ask us for help, and we will watch. If someone is dying, go help him and let them continue to fight. Isn't this good? ?”
"But my uncle didn't listen to me. He insisted on extending his hand here, and the fight between the two tigers turned into a three-way confrontation. He only gave me two thousand people, saying that he wanted me to defend Zhou, Qi. Ha, two thousand People to defend them both??"
Shetu pursed her lips and refrained from any more outrageous words.
He said softly: "Although my uncle is brave in fighting, he doesn't care about the situation at all. He is stubborn and self-willed. He relies on his own bravery and cannot listen to advice."
"Forget it, go back. Before the Zhou people's envoy can scare your uncle, you have to go over quickly to persuade him. He originally wanted to follow the Zhou people to attack the Qi people. This time, I'm afraid he really wants to Let’s take action.”
"We could have eaten both, but he insisted on tying us to Zhou Ren's car."
The young photo raised his head, his eyes particularly complex.
"Let's go."
The knights moved forward with their heads down, but the atmosphere was particularly depressing.
Everyone looked around with a straight face and looked around uneasily. Their breathing was extremely heavy and they were worried.
The knights behind were driving cattle, sheep and many captives, while Liu Taozi and others were at the forefront.
These people had absolutely no joy of winning. The team was extremely silent. They could only hear the sound of horse hooves and the continuous braying of sheep, which made people even more upset.
Liu Taozi and others walked at the front of the team, while He Bacheng gritted his teeth.
Everyone's uneasiness came from the fact that their victory was too quick and too easy.
Even when they faced the creeps in the past, they had never won so easily, but this time, they didn't even encounter the enemy, and the only ones they resisted were herdsmen who knew how to shoot arrows.
In their opinion, this situation can only mean one thing, it is a scam!!
Yao Xiong looked at the people around him and suddenly asked: "Could it be that someone tipped off the news and the Turks ran away in fear?"
Tian Zili glanced at him, "Do you think all Turkic people are like you?!"
"They have worked hard for two years, how could they just run away? Even if they wanted to run, they would take all their luggage with them. How could they leave so much behind?"
Yao Xiong scratched his head, "If you can't beat him, you won't be allowed to run away."
"Stop talking about it, send someone to check back."
Everyone continued to move forward in a tense and uneasy atmosphere. It was not until they met the rear troops who came to meet them that the uneasy atmosphere was dispersed.
The person responsible for staying behind was Bai Dao garrison leader, who was temporarily appointed as the military leader. This man was not young. I heard that he had participated in many wars in the past and was deeply supported by the soldiers.
After the encounter between the two parties, He Bacheng hurriedly asked the other party about the situation.
However, they did not encounter any attacks, neither from the Turks nor from the Pseudo-Chou people. They were eerily quiet.
They had no choice but to continue moving all the way towards the southern foot as planned, speeding up unconsciously, not even caring whether they would alert the Xi people, and simply passed through their territory.
They passed the mountain pass and returned to Daqi again. It wasn't until they saw Wuchuan City in the distance that everyone realized that they seemed to have really won?!
Just within a moment, the depressing atmosphere in the team disappeared, and the knights cheered one after another, and laughter filled the sky.
He Bacheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Liu Taozi beside him, looking quite confused.
"What on earth is going on? Could it be that he really ran away??"
Liu Taozi nodded slightly, "That's probably it. Knowing that we were outmatched, we led our elite troops to retreat to preserve our strength."
He Bacheng couldn't help but sigh: "This photo shoot is so courageous. It took two years of hard work and I just gave it up."
Everyone returned to Wuchuan all the way, and soon received a warm welcome from the people who stayed in Wuchuan. There was laughter inside and outside Wuchuan, and the enthusiasm was boiling like a flame.
He Bacheng immediately gave the soldiers a day to rest and prepare.
Tian Zili and others began to prepare to count their merits and distribute rewards.
He Bacheng, Liu Taozi and other generals were discussing the next matter in the official office.
"It's best to reward all these gains."
Liu Taozi looked at everyone, and the generals looked at He Bacheng one after another.
He Bacheng pursed his lips, "You still have to come up with something to explain to the temple. If everything is distributed, you can't just pass the news of victory back, right?"
"Still the old rules, flags, drums, ordnance, and prisoners can all be sent over."
He Bacheng wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and said, "This time is different. Private troops are sent to attack the Turks. If you can't explain it, you will be punished."
"Bianzhen soldiers have always been like this."
Liu Taozi blocked He Bacheng with just one sentence. He Bacheng had no choice but to nod. He had already reached this point anyway, so he could just do whatever he wanted and just let fate happen!
Different from last time, this time no good news was distributed to the temple, but letters were sent to inform the situation.
After all, this is not a counterattack against thieves, nor is it an attack on the emperor's order. This is just the Bianzhen soldiers going out to hunt game according to their old habits.
Next, is the stage of distributing rewards.
All the soldiers who accompanied the troops, whether they were those who charged or those who stayed behind at Blackwater, were rewarded. Of course, the rewards for those who charged and killed would definitely be higher.
Liu Taozi personally supervised and asked Tian Zili to distribute the rewards to the entire army. The rewards were distributed directly from the school grounds to prevent the garrison leaders from swallowing them up.
All the soldiers who went on the expedition were in disbelief at this moment. This battle was fought too easily. They just rushed on their way, and then charged and ended the battle. They encountered no resistance at all, and they brought back a large number of livestock and rewards.
Maybe they can't get rich just because there are so many people going on the expedition, so after the spoils are distributed, the reward each person gets is not too much.
However, what is important is the change in the border town. Since the sixth year of Tianbao, this is the first time they have gone out to plunder, and it is also the first time they have achieved such a smooth victory. It can be decided in one battle.
Liu Taozi did not rush to send the soldiers away, but instead ordered them to set up camps outside Wuchuan, leaving these people behind in Wuchuan.
After distributing rewards and rewarding the army, Liu Taozi began training in Wuchuan.
After a gathering of troops, these soldiers from various towns and garrison finally had some tacit understanding, although it was not much. What Liu Taozi had to do was to make them become a whole as soon as possible.
The morale of the soldiers who won a great victory and received the rewards was very high.
Facing the next high-intensity training, I had no complaints. However, military pay was still in short supply, and I could only hope that the temple would deliver food quickly.
Jinyang.
The Prime Minister's Mansion.
Lu Yao's face was pale, and he quickly walked to the study with documents in hand. Through the black shadow on the window, he could see Gao Yan sitting inside.
Lu Yao looked at the document in his hand, with indescribable sadness in his eyes. He took a deep breath, then saluted and shouted: "Lu Yao pays homage to the Prime Minister!!"
"Come in."
Lu Yao then pushed open the door and entered.
He saw Gao Yan sitting in front of the case, holding a document in his hand, with a look of hesitation on his face. When he saw Lu Yao, he motioned for him to sit down.
As soon as he picked up the document in his hand, he saw Lu Yao also holding a copy in his hand.
Gao Yan asked: "What happened?"
Lu Yao slowly handed the document to Gao Yan, "The prime minister is General He Bacheng. He led all the soldiers out of the fortress and destroyed the Turkic Nantel Ya tent. Ashina took pictures and led the troops to escape.
The tents were destroyed and more than 100,000 cattle, sheep and horses were looted."
Gao Yan's brows twitched, he picked up the document and read it carefully.
Looking at Gao Yan's solemn expression, Lu Yao was sweating profusely, lowered his head and said nothing.
"It was Liu Taozi who did it because He Bacheng didn't have the guts."
Gao Yan suddenly spoke, and Lu Yao was so frightened that he quickly knelt down, "Prime Minister!"
"Mr. Lu, I didn't ask any questions, why should I do this? Get up, please get up."
Gao Yan forced a smile, helped Lu Yao up, and asked him to sit next to him to show his closeness.
"It's normal for the soldiers to go out and loot. As for the Turks' capriciousness, it's okay to offend them. It's only a matter of time to fight them."
Gao Yan raised his head, with no fear in his eyes.
"When my brother was still here, these people defeated the creeps. They were so arrogant and proud that they actually planned to invade. My brother sent out troops to attack them and defeated them in the border town. They fled in all directions and never dared to look south again."
"Now that my brother is gone, they will come to test him sooner or later. With such an attack, they will not dare to attack easily."
Lu Yao nodded quickly, "That's right. The Turkic Khan seemed reckless but was actually cunning. After being defeated by Emperor Wenxuan, he began to take the initiative to get close to the Puppet Zhou, and even made a marriage contract to protect this faction.
People come closer
We have been in the town for two years, and there are not many troops sent. We are just testing the strength of Da Qi, so we take the initiative to attack now and let them know that although Emperor Wenxuan is not here, the elites under his command are still fierce, so it must not be a bad thing."
Gao Yan looked deeply at Lu Yao and then said: "There is no need to tell the ministers about this matter, but there is one more thing that I need Mr. Lu to help me with."
"Prime Minister, please speak."
"I want to send an envoy to Yubi to ask the two countries to cease war, resume exchanges, and trade with each other. What do you think?"
Lu Yao was shocked, "Prime Minister, what are you??"
"We have a lot of things to do internally at the moment, and the same goes for the pseudo-week. I think it's better to give both sides time to get the internal things settled first, and then compete with them to determine the outcome."
Lu Yao pursed his lips and said, "What the Prime Minister said makes sense."
"Then what do you think if Liu Taozi is allowed to serve as the envoy to Yubi?"
"ah?!!"
"Absolutely not possible!! Prime Minister!!!"
ps: In the early days of Baoding, the people of Yubi were established with filial piety and broad-mindedness, and Xunzhou was established, and the governor of Xunzhou was still awarded. The Qi people sent envoys to Yubi to seek communication and mutual trade. --- "Northern History·Biography Fifty-Two"
