The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 720 Praying Mantis Catching Cicadas and Orioles Behind (Part [-])
So the five tribes sent people to Li Zhi to express their willingness to accept Li Zhi's surrender.However, a condition was also put forward, that is, to help him unify the country of Xi.

"His Royal Highness, the chiefs of the five tribes really have the same heart. The conditions they put forward are all the same." Yuchi said to Li Zhi with a smile.

"Military division, how should we answer them now? We can't agree to five chiefs at the same time. I'm afraid it will be difficult to control the situation." Li Zhi asked Xu Maogong worriedly.

Xu Maogong got up and said to Li Zhi: "His Royal Highness can send someone again to tell them the five chiefs. Let them know that besides themselves, the other chiefs have also contacted His Royal Highness."

"His Royal Highness will choose among the five chiefs. But His Royal Highness only chooses the strongest partner, and they should figure out the way to prove which of them is the strongest."

"Then I have to trouble General Vanguard once, and then send someone to send them a letter." After hearing Xu Maogong's words, Li Zhi nodded and said to Yu Chigong.

"His Royal Highness, rest assured, I, Yuchi Gong, will definitely handle this matter perfectly. I promise to let them charge for His Royal Highness." Yu Chi Gong said confidently.

……

With the first time, the second time is even easier.The chief of a tribe knows that now other chiefs are also willing to follow Li Zhi.This can't help but move my mind.

They knew that it was absolutely impossible to unify the country of Xi by virtue of their own strength.Even if Li Zhi came without troops, the final result would be that the country of Xi would be divided into five.

So naturally they are unwilling to give up this opportunity, but they are going to show Li Tai that they are the strongest in a different way.

Among them, four chiefs were going to send troops to Khitan to help Li Zhi destroy the Khitan country in order to prove themselves.There was another chief who thought a little differently.

The strongest way for him to prove himself is to let Li Zhi see how he annexed the other four tribes.This chief is none other than the chief of the Ahui Department.

But no matter what method they choose to prove themselves, Li Zhi won't care about it.Because no matter which way they choose, Li Zhi will benefit in the end.

So a strange phenomenon appeared on the grassland, that is, the cavalry of the Xi Kingdom were fighting against the Khitan cavalry in front of them.And behind them, another cavalry will suddenly appear.

But this cavalry is not in coordination with the Khitan cavalry.They will wait until the two armies are at a stalemate to attack, which means that the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind.

In this way, Li Zhi led the cavalry led by the five chiefs of Xi State to open the way.It can be said that the journey went very smoothly, and they launched an attack on the Khitan Eight Divisions.

The Khitan Kingdom was formed by an alliance of eight tribes, namely the Daji tribe of Qiaoluo Prefecture, the Jubian tribe of Tanhan Prefecture, the Duhuo tribe of Wufeng Prefecture, the Fenwen tribe of Yuling Prefecture, and the Tubian tribe of Rilian Prefecture. Department, Ruixi Department in Tuhe Prefecture, Zhuijin Department in Wandan Prefecture, Fubu Department in Pili Prefecture and Chishan Prefecture.

These eight tribes constitute the eight tribes of Dahe Khitan, and the kings of all dynasties have been appointed by the Dahe tribe.Now imprisoned by Li Tai is the Dahe Mohui.

Now the Dahemo Society is no longer in Khitan, and its life and death are still unknown.Therefore, the eight major tribes of the Khitan people have become less united.Although there are several sons of the Ohamakai, they are still divided into several factions.

Because although they are all the sons of the Dahemohui, they are not the same person.Naturally, there will be some differences.

Although the places where the eight tribes of Khitan live are called states, they are very different from the state capitals in the Central Plains.The most obvious is that they have no real walls.

The Khitan's so-called city wall is nothing more than a section of earth wall, which cannot achieve the defensive effect of the city wall at all.Only Khitan's royal city still has some momentum.

(Dragon Soul does not know whether there was a royal city in Khitan during the Zhenguan period. Therefore, Quan Dang Dragon Soul should not make it right.)
So now the eight major tribes have all gathered in the royal city.In this way, there are nearly one million Khitan people in the royal city.

And this Khitan has lived on horseback since he was a child, even the elderly and women are not idle.Give them a sword and a horse, and they can also go into battle to kill the enemy.

In this way, the pressure on Li Zhi will be great, and he originally planned to defeat the eight major tribes one by one.In the end, the army besieged Wangcheng, but now this plan has failed.

It turned out that when Li Zhi attacked the state of Xi, Dahe Kuge, the son of Dahe Mohui, finally defeated the other competitors.Became the new Khitan King of the Khitan Kingdom.

(Whether the relationship between Dahe Mohui and Dahe Kuge is father and son, Dragon Soul is not sure. Because the information only says that Dahe Kuge is a descendant of Dahemohui. Because of the need of the plot, Dragon Soul gave them a established relationship.)
This Brother Daheku is not just waiting for someone, he knows that after Li Zhiping conquered the country of Xi, he will definitely send troops to attack Khitan.Relying on the characteristics of the Tang army who are good at attacking cities, the earth cities where the major tribes live cannot resist the Tang army at all.

In order to avoid being defeated by Li Zhi one by one, Brother Dahe Ku ordered all the eight major tribes of Khitan to be moved to the royal city.Use Wangcheng as a defensive fortress to resist the attack of the Tang army.

At the same time, Dahe Kuge also dispatched two cavalry, each with as many as 5 cavalry.They did not enter the Khitan King City, but ambushed around it.

The purpose is to send out surprise soldiers at that time, and cooperate with the Khitan cavalry in the royal city.In order to eliminate the 20 troops brought by Li Zhi.

But Brother Daheku never expected that Tang Jun was not the first to attack them.It's their neighbors, the five tribes of Xi.

This Xi State is different from the Tang Army. They are also nomadic people living on horseback.So they had no choice but to attack Khitan King City.

Instead, he accidentally discovered the two Khitan cavalry on the periphery.So outside the Khitan King City, a fierce cavalry battle took place.

The final result is naturally a loss for both sides, so Brother Dahe Ku can only open the city gate and let these two cavalry who suffered heavy losses enter the Khitan King City.

However, this did not stop the fighting outside the Khitan king's city, on the contrary, it became more intense.Because except for the Ahui tribe, the other four tribes all suffered heavy losses in the battle with the Khitan cavalry.

At this time, the chief of the Ahui Department came out to clean up the mess.He actually let him kill the four chiefs in one battle, and took all the defeated soldiers under the four chiefs for his own use.

As a result, the chief of the Ahui Department had nearly [-] cavalry in his hands.He was not stupid enough to directly lead troops to attack Khitan King City.

Instead, he directly led the [-] cavalry of the Xi Kingdom, and swung the army to join Prince Li Zhi.This is also a result that Prince Li Zhi did not expect, even Xu Maogong was a little surprised.

After all, Xu Maogong did not expect that before the Tang army arrived in Qidan, Qidan would be unified again.Hence this unexpected result.

However, this did not catch Xu Maogong off guard.Instead, Xu Maogong thought of a better plan.
