Chapter 888 Khitan Sends Out Troops
Chapter 888 Khitan Sends Out Troops
One of the Eagle Division commanders stood up without thinking and said directly:
"Why not just behead this grandson and send our own people to take over the Golden Horde? It's not that difficult. If we change the general, won't the Golden Horde obey us?"
Ziggy's face trembled with anger.
"roll!"
"You stupid thing!"
"According to your method, as soon as we kill him, the Golden Horde will completely disrupt our 200,000-strong army!"
"Get out of here!"
He really couldn't stand it anymore and drove out all the generals under him.
He was the only one left in the empty central military tent.
The sounds of training outside no longer had anything to do with him. He could finally calm down and think about how to deal with Duoduo.
He didn't know Duoduo's identity, nor did Helu. Even the vast majority of soldiers from the five tribes of Nushipi were unfamiliar with this person.
Even Kirillon, who was also the commander of the Tiger Division, did not know much about this general of the Golden Horde. His eccentric personality, coupled with the conflicts between tribes, made it difficult for him to work with a group of generals.
"It seems that the only way is to invite Cardinal back and persuade Dodo as a colleague."
Sieg made up his mind and immediately sent people to the Wolf Cavalry camp to look for Jie Li Britan.
……
Khitan.
Guicheng Prefecture.
Li Wanshan, who succeeded the Supreme Khan of Khitan, received Huang Zhen, the deputy general of Yingzhou Guard, and Bu Zhen, the chief general of Iron Harriers, from the Tang Dynasty.
After taking the letters written to him by Wang Xiaojie and Su Honghui from Bu Zhen and reading them carefully, Li Wanshan remained calm and gave all the letters to Sun Xiangzhou.
Soon, Sun Xiangzhou cast an approving look at Li Wanshan.
Li Wanshan no longer hesitated, stood up and said:
"Since we want to capture the enemy leader alive, then naturally the more power we have, the better."
"I am willing to contribute 13,000 Khitan cavalry to follow you two!"
The Tang Dynasty had no idea how powerful the Khitan cavalry were, but the Turks who had faced them directly naturally had a deep understanding of their power.
Bu Zhen's brows suddenly furrowed.
During the Chongzhou incident a few years ago, the Khitan attacked the Great Zhou, but were stopped by Wang Xiaojie, Li Cunxi and others.
Later, when the Khitan military god Sun Wanrong found that he could not gain any benefits from the Great Zhou, he immediately turned to fight against the five Turkic Dulu tribes, and then plundered property, food, pigs, horses, cattle and sheep from the five Dulu tribes.
At that time, Buzhen was under the command of Daleha and followed Daleha to fight against the Khitan cavalry.
After three battles, Bu Zhen finally understood why the Khitan, although not sounding powerful, had enough strength to rival the Great Zhou.
Apart from Sun Wanrong, who was a master of military strategy, the Khitan cavalry was Li Jinzhong's greatest reliance.
Of the 30,000 Khitan cavalrymen that were bought with huge sums of money, only 13,000 elite Khitan cavalrymen remained after the Guichengzhou rebellion, the Chongzhou battle, and the subsequent wars between the Khitan and the Turks.
However, this is also an extremely powerful force.
If we had the help of 13,000 Khitan cavalry, then this surprise attack on the Yazhang Stone Kingdom would have a greater chance of success...
Bu Zhen thought about it again and again, then said helplessly, "Your Majesty, the General and the Commander-in-Chief only asked you to pass through their territory for the sake of your relationship with them, but they did not mention that they hoped the Khitan would send troops to help."
"What's more, the rift between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty has a long history, and the Khitans are currently only nominally affiliated with the Tang Dynasty."
"I really don't dare to ask you two to take the time to help me."
Li Wanshan heard the hidden meaning in Bu Zhen's words.
This is because they were afraid that their 13,000 Khitan cavalry would attack them from behind.
Sun Xiangzhou also understood and said:
"We are blessed by the Emperor's grace and should offer our assistance. The Supreme Khan and I are sincere and sincere, and heaven and earth can bear witness to this. Please do not harbor any suspicion, Generals."
Li Wanshan glanced at Bu Zhen and Huang Zhen, and finally sighed and said to Huang Zhen:
"Deputy General Huang, when my father was alive, I often accompanied him to Yingzhou. After the Battle of Chongzhou ended, my father also took me to Yingzhou to pay a visit to the Grand Commander Su."
"You should understand me. I'm not the type to say one thing in public and another in private. I inherited my father's ambition and have been determined to join the Tang Dynasty and serve His Majesty the Emperor wholeheartedly. So why would I attack the Tang Dynasty again?"
"Wouldn't this just make you a laughing stock and ruin your future?"
He sighed softly.
The night before he inherited the throne of the Supreme Khan of Khitan, Li Jinzhong said some heartfelt words to him on his deathbed.
The implication is that the Khitan was poor and weak, and without the support of the Tang Dynasty, it would sooner or later perish in the long river of history.
If the Khitan people no longer exist, how can they be worthy of the protection of Changshengtian?
Finally, Li Wanshan was given two choices.
First, continue to move northward to a more vast territory and find a new place to live for the Khitan people.
Second, to be incorporated into the Great Zhou and become a citizen of the Great Zhou forever. This approach is undoubtedly the safest. Although it is a bit embarrassing and you can no longer be the Khan, it is still very satisfying.
At that time, Wu Zetian was still in power. She was eager for foreign races to be incorporated into the Zhou Dynasty and used by her to bring honor to her.
However, Li Wanshan was unwilling to join the Great Zhou. It was not until Sun Xiangzhou brought him the news of Li Cunxi's ascension to the throne that he began to think about joining the Tang Dynasty.
Now is a good opportunity for him to join the Tang Dynasty.
Li Wanshan withdrew his thoughts and turned to Bu Zhen, who was looking suspicious, and Huang Zhen, who was a little excited:
"Furthermore, the Turkic army originally numbered 520,000. Later, after the Youzhou Incident, when the Great Zhou attacked the Turks, the internal strife during the Chongzhou Incident, the war between the Turks and our Khitan, and the Helu Rebellion, another general marched south to the Great Zhou."
"Today, the Turkic army still has over 400,000 troops."
"Including the 300,000 Turkic troops that attacked Chongzhou, there are still more than 100,000 Turkic troops guarding various places."
"Even if we form a thinner line, there are still tens of thousands of troops protecting Helu on all sides. We will not let you capture Helu easily."
"The heavy assault corps has been running long distances and engaging in multiple battles. Even at their fastest speed, Helu will definitely have time to react. In the end, you will definitely face an army of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands."
"We Khitans have joined the Tang Dynasty and are fighting here. Xiang Zhou, they are actually silent. Then you should quickly mobilize the Turkic cavalry and join them in attacking the Turks."
While Bu Zhen was still not reacting, Li Wanshan made the decision and asked Sun Xiangzhou to mobilize troops.
Bu Zhen came back to his senses and clasped his fists towards Li Wanshan: "Thank you, Supreme Khan."
He believed that the Iron Harriers were invincible, but after all, the Iron Harriers only had more than 16,000 cavalrymen.
Faced with the remaining tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops in the Turkic territory, his Iron Harriers really became consumables.
If the Khitan cavalry were combined with Huang Zhen's Yingzhou Guard cavalry and they cooperated with each other, they would definitely be able to make the old Turkic brothers piss and piss themselves in fear.
Even though he is a Turk, he also has the cold temperament in his Turkic blood. Since he has defected to the Tang Dynasty, he will certainly not show any mercy when killing his old Turkic brothers.
Just like Helu rebelled and killed Jili Khan.
