OBS Chapter 924 Summation
Chapter 924 Summation
"Even Helu couldn't defeat the Tang army. I really can't imagine who else can."
"Oh, yes, maybe Daleha can, but Daleha has already defected to the Tang Dynasty."
Helu was very sad and spat, saying, "This damn Daleha."
Yu Zhou was secretly delighted, and trying hard to suppress his smile, he said:
"Your Majesty, please stop talking about this."
"According to my analysis, the reason why Li Wanshan was willing to confront the Leopard Division was probably to get the Canglang Cavalry to come back for support."
"As long as the Canglang Cavalry returns with a large number of cavalry, Chongzhou will be able to free up its hands to deal with Qige."
"Now, the enemy is strong and we are weak."
"The Canglang Riders are definitely no match for the Iron Harriers."
"The Leopard Division's cavalry is as weak as a baby against the Khitan cavalry."
"Too weak, Your Majesty the Khan!"
After hearing Yuzhou's analysis, Helu felt even more uncomfortable.
He squatted down, and as if he heard the miserable cry of Monkey King when Tang Monk recited the spell to tighten the hoop.
"Stop talking! Stop talking!"
"Please, stop talking!"
"My head is almost splitting!"
Yuzhou stopped and shut up as Helu instructed.
In fact, he didn't want to say these words, but he had to analyze them for Helu after all. Otherwise, with Helu's brain, it would take him a long time to figure it out.
"I feel much better, sir."
Helu's forehead was covered with sweat, and he quickly wiped it with his sleeve. He got up again and looked at Yu Zhou.
"Sir, please continue to talk about it. What should we do?"
Yu Zhou sighed and said, "Your Majesty the Khan doesn't want to hear my analysis?"
"No." Helu refused, "I'm tired."
"Then I will tell His Majesty that there is only one solution now, and that is to immediately adopt a ceasefire posture, defend while sending troops to the Tang Dynasty."
Helu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Prime Minister, what do you mean? Are you asking me to sue for peace with the Tang Dynasty?"
Yu Zhou nodded without saying anything else.
He only said that he wanted to seek peace with the Tang Dynasty, but he did not say whether the Tang Emperor agreed to Helu's request.
The war of annihilation has reached this point and there is no turning back, but Helu is definitely unwilling to accept the outcome of the country's destruction.
After a long silence, Helu slowly raised his head and asked in an almost begging tone:
"Is there really no other choice?"
Yu Zhou shook his head, his eyes filled with sadness.
"If the war continues, the Turks will definitely lose all their young and strong men."
Helu said weakly: "But I don't want to admit defeat."
Yu Zhou said: "If we destroy the entire Turkic people simply because we don't want to admit defeat, the disastrous defeat of Chongzhou will soon be repeated."
Helu's sadness almost overflowed.
He sat on the mat, his eyes dull, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
After a long time, he seemed to have accepted his fate and said:
"Please also ask the Prime Minister to draft a letter of peace for me."
"Then send someone to the Tang Dynasty."
"The contents of this letter of peace must be sincere, but the words cannot be too soft. We must not let the Tang Dynasty underestimate us."
"When the time comes, no matter what the Tang Dynasty demands, we will agree to them, except for our lives."
"Even if it means ceding territory and paying compensation, I agree."
"Give me whatever you have in the Turkic territory. Even if it means killing my wife as a hostage, I will agree!"
In the face of the devastating defeat, Helu finally faced the reality.
Out of an army of 300,000 soldiers who went out to fight, only a few hundred thousand returned.
The internal war had not been settled, and Li Wanshan of Khitan was eyeing him covetously with his large army.
The war has reached this point and has become a matter of self-defense. There is no need to continue fighting.
Problems that can be solved by ceding territory and paying compensation must never be filled with human lives.
"Leave it to me, Your Majesty the Khan."
Yuzhou bowed, and in front of Helu, asked someone to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone to start drafting the document.
……
West of Makuli.
A large group of cavalry were watching the fortified city.
In addition to the 9,000 cavalry from the various Leopard Divisions, there are more than 14,000 Canglang Cavalry.
They slept in the open air and finally arrived in Macuri at this critical moment.
While the Khitan army was still not able to react, Jie British immediately brought his cavalry to observe the enemy camp.
"Li Wanshan!"
Li Wanshan's big banner stood in the wind, looking very eye-catching.
Catelyn had a solemn expression on his face. After scanning a circle of flags, he finally found the flag of his former colleague Burgen.
But at this moment, Bu Zhen's flag had been replaced with the flag of the Tang Dynasty, with the words "Commander-in-Chief of the Tang Dynasty Iron Harriers" written on it.
Galatian sighed, turned his horse and rode away.
"General, don't you want to take another look?" asked a deputy general.
Kalebron shook his head. "Let's not watch it. If we delay until the Iron Harriers attack, few of us will be able to escape."
On the day of the Shi Kingdom riot, outside the south gate of Shi Kingdom, he led eight eagle divisions to encircle Buzhen, but suffered heavy casualties in the end.
He couldn't accept such a loss a second time.
He looked back at the Canglang Cavalry, all of which were lightly mounted, and felt even more uncomfortable.
You know, before this, he still had 5,000 heavy infantry under his command.
They were all defeated by the Iron Harrier.
In the central military tent of Makuli, a young general ran in and saluted the three people who were drinking tea without saying a word.
"Khan, Grand Marshal, General of the Army."
"To the west of Makuli, there are Turkic cavalry stationed."
"They are flying the banner of the Canglang Cavalry, and are suspected to be the Tiger Division army."
Bu Zhen put down the teacup and said impatiently:
"Supreme Khan, Marshal Sun, I can't wait any longer."
"Since the Canglang Cavalry has arrived, my Iron Harriers must teach them a lesson."
Li Wanshan turned to Sun Xiangzhou and said, "Take the Tuqi and go help as well."
"Also, don't forget to wake up General Huang Zhen who is sleeping."
……
The Wolf Cavalry and the Leopard Cavalry turned around and left, but before they had run two miles, they immediately felt the ground shaking.
The cavalrymen behind looked back and were so scared that they trembled all over.
"It's three cavalry units!"
"The ones in the middle are the Iron Harriers, the ones on the left are the Khitan cavalry, and there's another one whose flags are invisible, but they're obviously the cavalry of the Great Zhou!"
“They all dress differently!”
Bu Zhen was yelling from a distance:
"Karelian, stop right there! Today I'll show you who is the best cavalryman of the Turks!"
When the news reached Geliran, the two cavalrymen had already run three or four miles away. Geliran looked back in surprise.
"Isn't this a fool?"
"Can their heavy cavalry keep up with us?"
"Even the Khitan cavalry can't keep up with us!"
The Iron Harriers behind were moving slower and slower and could no longer keep up with the Canglang Cavalry and the Leopard Division Cavalry.
After Buzhen ordered a stop, he spat in the direction of Kalyan.
"Tomorrow, our two armies will clash, and you'll know how powerful we, the Iron Harriers, are!"
