Dajin royal family

Chapter 131 Hostages (1114)

In Chunsun County, a hundred miles away from Xizhou Mountain, a Turkic army of about 3 people is galloping towards Loufan Pass in the northwest.The leader is the second son of Chuluo Khan, Jiali. He is more than ten years younger than his elder brother, but he is not inferior to his elder brother in terms of force and cunning, otherwise he would not be more than ten years old in Chuluo. He was killed out of the two sons, and he was appreciated by Chu Luo, and he was allowed to be the commander of the tribe.

Jiao Li actually disagrees with the strategy of going south this time, because he thinks it is meaningless to do so.He hesitated when attacking Dali City. If Yulin City really sent troops to rescue at that time, he would definitely not be able to attack Dali City.But it was a pity that his speed was a step slower, and the Dulan Department had blocked Yulin City's reinforcements for him, so he could only attack Dali City as planned.

Sure enough, this trip to the south not only failed to grab anything useful, but also caused him to lose nearly 1 horses in vain.But Jiaoli didn't do nothing. After breaking Dali City, he sent 1 troops westward into Yulin County, besieged Fuchang County, and helped Dulan attack Yulin City.

If Du Lan was of any use, they should have entered Yulin County by now.However, I heard that the Jin Dynasty sent a total of two armies to the north to encircle and suppress them. I hope that Dulan can display his bravery and kill all the Jin troops.

Thinking of this, Cao Li on the horse suddenly burst out laughing.You Duhou, who was beside him, bared his teeth and asked strangely: "Prince, what's so funny, Zhu Xieluo is probably in danger now."

Regarding Jiao Li's behavior of using Zhu Xieluo as a bait, Bi Ya is also very cold in his heart. If a similar situation happens one day, will Jiao Li treat himself like this?

Jiao Li grabbed the horse's mane and said, "You Duhou, are you complaining about that idiot?"

idiot?

You Duhou was silent for a moment, and said: "The humble official doesn't understand what the prince means, isn't Zhu Xieluo?" He wanted to say that Zhu Xieluo was abandoned by you, but he didn't dare to say it.

Jiao Li snorted coldly and said: "That idiot, I asked him to go out to explore the way, just to be able to find out the movement of the Jin army in advance, and in the end he not only exposed his position, but also our position, isn't he an idiot? .”

When Zhu Xieluo fled all the way into Yikou County, Jiao Li knew that the scouts of the Jin army must be behind them, otherwise why would the Jin army let Zhu Xieluo go.He didn't intend to fight the Jin army this time, and he is not an idiot. With the few troops in his hands, he can at most make a little noise. It would be foolish to want to invade Taiyuan.

What's more, if he invaded Taiyuan, he would definitely die.For that plan, wouldn't it be cheaper for Du Lan and other members of the Ashina family to die? He wasn't that stupid.Therefore, when he hit Yikou County, he stopped his footsteps, because he would have no way out if he went forward.

Coincidentally, at this time, he ran into the Jin army. Jiao Li knew that the Jin Dynasty must have mastered his movements, so he didn't want to just throw Zhu Xieluo out as a bait to slow down the Jin army's speed. The army left Bingzhou.If they stay any longer, without the Jin army doing anything, their tens of thousands of horses will be eaten up.

Hearing Cao Li's words, he bared his teeth and remained silent.Zhu Xieluo was really stupid, how could the Jin army let him go so easily, obviously they wanted to use him to know the location of their main force.

"Prince, what shall we do next?" Ziya also asked.

Jiao Li's eyes flickered coldly, "Our mission has been completed, there is no need to stay here and continue to fight to the death with the Jin army. Since Father Khan is so optimistic about his plan, let him implement it. Let's go back and wait for Father Khan's decision." The good news is not enough.”

He also disapproved of his father's plan, because he felt that the Jin Dynasty was not that stupid, and it was impossible for the Jin Dynasty to have such a small army. He even suspected that someone in the Jin Dynasty had already seen through his father's plan.

The Turkic soldiers and horses retreating at full speed were very fast. After one night, they had already arrived near Loufan Pass. At this moment, Jiao Li suddenly pulled the reins and looked at the top of Loufan Pass. The wolf flag, but the flag of the Jin Dynasty.

"Prince, Loufanguan." Baiya also noticed the flag flying on the top of the city.

"Ah, I know." Qiao Li replied him calmly.Now they have no other way to choose. If they want to go back to the grassland, they must break through the Loufan Pass. Otherwise, when the Jin army in Yikou County catches up, they will be really desperate.

"You Duhou, I remember that you have robbed many children and women." Jiao Li said suddenly.

Every time the Turks invaded south, they mainly robbed four things, one was livestock and treasure, and the other was women and children.Livestock can be used as food, treasures are used to trade with Jin people to buy their green salt and pig iron, women are used to reproduce offspring, and children are cultivated to be loyal slaves.

Ziya also nodded, and said, "Yes, although there are not many, there are more than 1000 people."

In fact, they robbed thousands of people at the beginning, but most of them were killed by their own people. Many women from the Jin Dynasty committed suicide after sleeping with their Turkic warriors. Some children froze to death on the road. Now there are only more than 1000 people left.

Straw nodded, with an inexplicable smile on his face.

The guard at Loufan Pass is General Han, who was sent by He Ruojuan to take back the pass. He is one of Zuo Xiaowei's two sub-generals. Three days ago, he led his army to Loufan Pass. On the one hand, it is not directly proportional to their riding and shooting, and he took Lou Fanguan again with almost no effort.Knowing from those Turkic prisoners of war that Jiao Li had led his army southward from Tucheng County to attack Yikou County, he immediately ordered someone to pass the news to the general.

"As expected of King Zhao's son." General Han sometimes sighed from the top of the city. Jiang Chengxiao's identity was one of his insiders, and every time he thought of the prince's analysis of the Turks in Jingle County, he would feel that this son was unusual.

It was really expected by him that the Ministry of Civil Affairs really went south from Tucheng County to attack, and their destination should be Taiyuan County.But it doesn't matter, now that Lou Fan is locked in his hands, those Turkic dogs are just grasshoppers after autumn.

"General Han, look what that is!"

On the top of the city, a patrolling soldier suddenly found a large number of civilians a hundred steps away from the city, and he hurriedly told General Han about it.

General Han leaned out of the city, staring intently at the groups of Turkic soldiers and horses that appeared behind the common people.These guys were not completely wiped out in Loufan County, how could they flee here.Could it be that the general was one step too late and they escaped.

"General, those people are our people." When those women and children gradually approached Loufan Pass, the soldiers discovered this.

"I know." General Han gritted his teeth.

These three words seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth. Those Turkic dogs obviously wanted to use these people as hostages to force them to let them out.

Otherwise, they will hold these people hostage and attack the city. What should he do then, is he going to shoot these compatriots with bows and arrows?
These damned Turkic dogs!

Jiao Li was riding on a war horse, and the whip in his hand "slapped" on the back of a woman. The woman wailed in pain and staggered forward under the evil eyes of the Turkic people around her.

"Prince, with these useless slaves alone, will the Jin army really switch and let us go?" Bi Ya also felt very bad, how could these people give up and prevent them from leaving the customs just because of a group of slaves.

Jiao Li glanced at him and said confidently: "You Duhou, you don't understand these Han people. In their eyes, these useless women and children are for protection. If they don't protect these slaves, their emperor will punish them. The generals who lead the troops. And the officials of the Jin Dynasty will reprimand them."

He bared his teeth and was taken aback for a moment, he didn't understand the emperor of the Jin Dynasty.They have so many women and children, are they really going to let them go for the sake of these 1000 people?

"General, it's seventy paces!" The soldier said in a low voice beside General Han with red eyes.

　Thank you for the better monthly pass
