I have 800,000 private soldiers. The emperor forces me to hand over military power?

hiss!

As soon as these words came out, all the Turkic generals on the Shuobei city tower took a breath of cold air and looked at each other in disbelief.

Even Temur, who experienced three great ups and downs in his life, ascended to the position of the Turkic Great Khan twice, and boasted that "Mountain Tai collapses in front but remains unchanged, and tigers retreat without being frightened".

After hearing this news, I no longer had the calm and calm demeanor of the past, as steady as an old dog.

On the old face with high cheekbones and wrinkles, the muscles at the sunken corners of the mouth twitched unconsciously, and two fierce lights burst out from the cloudy pupils.

Seeing this, the Turkic general Als on the side stepped forward, reached out and grabbed the lapel of the Turkic messenger who was kneeling on his knees, and shouted viciously: "What did you say?"

"The vanguard leader Huo Po Gui Nhen died in battle, and the 30,000 vanguard army was wiped out. Who sent this news back, and has it been verified?"

"It only took three hours for the vanguard army to leave the Panlongguan Pass. Even if they drove 30,000 lambs to the Panlongguan Pass for the Han people to slaughter, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to finish them all in this little time!"

"Also, the Han army that fought against the vanguard army at the Panlong Pass was the Yunhui army that went south to Longcheng, or the Longcheng Polu army that went north. Was it Liang Erhu or Chen Huaian who led the army?"

Faced with General Als's barrage of questions, the Turkic messenger looked confused and didn't know where to start his answer.

Because, the Turkic cavalryman who had just desperately escaped from Panlong Pass had two arrows stuck in his back. When he just rode his horse and fled back to Shuobei City, he was already dead.

He took his last breath just to bring the news back to Shuobei City that the general had died in battle and the army was gone.

The mission was accomplished, and the breath of hanging on for one's life was gone.

Seeing that the three sticks in front of him could not beat the sullen messenger, Als pushed him down angrily and said angrily: "Probe again, report again!"

"The Dog Han people have always been cunning and cunning. This may be a rumor they deliberately spread in order to shake the morale of our Turkic Empire's military!"

"Until this matter is clarified, no one is allowed to spread it among the army. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

"Got the order!"

The ordering soldier looked aggrieved and left in a hurry.

At this time, Ars turned around and faced the Great Khan Temur and a group of Turkic generals and tribal leaders. With an indifferent expression on his face, he said carelessly: "Great Khan, calm down!"

"According to what the last general said, the news that the 30,000 vanguard army left Panlong Pass has not been verified clearly. This matter of catching wind and shadow must not affect the grand plan of the Turkic Empire army to march south and sweep across the Central Plains."

"Um!"

Timur nodded and gave Als an approving look, thinking that this reckless man was quite sober when he didn't drink.

Then, his old face returned to its former self, and he said calmly: "What General Alslen said is absolutely true!"

"The civil strife in the northwest of the Great New Dynasty is a great opportunity for our Turkic Empire's army to go south to make achievements. It is true that we cannot let some random things affect the army's southward movement."

As he spoke, Timur changed the topic and said domineeringly: "Generals, obey the order!"

brush!

On top of the city tower, more than a dozen Turkic generals and tribal leaders straightened their backs, waiting for the Great Khan's order.

Timur said: "Regulate the army immediately and prepare for war according to the original plan to go south;

Everything that could be packed away in Shuobei City, including food, gold, silver, jewelry, and women, was packed and sent back to his hometown in Mobei;

The twenty-eight counties and counties in Shuobei territory must also step up their efforts to send people to collect all materials that can be taken away;

In short, in one sentence, wherever the Turkic army went, the geese plucking their hair and the beasts leaving their skins! "

"Let's all get ready to go!"

"The last general takes command!"

After saying this, all the Turkic generals on the Shuobei city tower took their orders and left.

Timur spoke again and said: "Als Leng, please stay for a while!"

Hearing this, Als, who was about to leave, immediately turned around and returned to Timur's side.

At this time, only the Turkic Khan Temur and General Arslen were left on the huge Shuobei city tower.

Timur got straight to the point and said: "Als Leng, what do you think about this matter?"

ah?

Als was stunned for a moment, then realized what the Khan was referring to and said hurriedly:

"The Great Khan, General Huopu Quiren is one of the twelve Taibao of the Turkic Empire under the Great Khan's tent. The 30,000 vanguard army is the elite of our Turkic Empire. From Shuobei to Panlongguan, there are only two cavalry at most. hour.”

"In other words, the Han army, which fought fiercely with the Turkic Empire's vanguard army in the Panlong Pass area, wiped out my 30,000 vanguard army in just one hour."

Having said this, Ars looked at Timur with a solemn look and continued: "Great Khan, the combat effectiveness of this Han army is extraordinary."

"If the general guessed correctly, this Han army should be the remnants of the Polu army from the north of Longcheng. The person who leads the army is naturally the thief King Chen Huai'an of Jin!"

After all, he was one of the twelve Taibos under Timur's command. Als's stunned analysis hit the nail on the head and got to the point.

Although Als was stunned and didn't learn any more news from the messenger just now.

However, until now, there has been no news from the Turkic vanguard general Huo Bo Quiren, which is enough to explain everything.

After listening to Als' stunned answer, Timur hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well, you and Ben Khan have the same view on this matter."

"Chen Huaian, a young boy like this, can completely wipe out Wu Qingyun's 100,000 troops in the Battle of Dragon City. He must have something special about him."

"It's just that what I didn't expect was that the cavalry under Chen Huaian was so good at fighting. In just one hour, my 30,000 Turkic soldiers were brought back to life. I had to cheer up." !”

After saying that, Timur waved his hand and said: "Ars was stunned, I will write a handwriting for you right now."

"Then, you take five carts of gold, silver and jewels and set off immediately to the Shenfeng Ridge area to find Shuobei Yunhui Army Commander Liang Erhu. All you need to do is deliver the Khan's oracle and five carts of gold, silver and jewels to him!"

"The last general takes command!"

...

Shuobei territory, Shenfeng Ridge.

When the Yunhui army in Shuobei City moved south, the 80,000 Yunhui troops who had their hometown stolen by the Turkic barbarians were homeless and had to wander around on the vast Loess Plateau.

Going south, there are Longcheng soldiers and horses guarding the Northern Expedition;

Going north, there were Turkic cavalry marching south to steal their homes;

For a moment, Liang Erhu, the former commander-in-chief of the Yunhui Army, was like an ant on a hot pot - anxious.

Overnight, the evil fire attacked my heart, my cheeks became swollen, and I could hardly speak.

Every day, the 80,000-strong army eats horse chews, and the amount of food and grass they consume is astronomical. For the Shuobei Yunhui army that has lost its logistical supplies, it is even more unbearable.

"Report——"

"General, urgent military situation!"

"The scouts from the former army came to report that the Dragon City soldiers and horses heading north and the Turkic cavalry were engaged in a fierce battle at Panlongguan. In less than an hour, the Turkic cavalry vanguard was completely wiped out. There were about 20,000 to 30,000 casualties!"

Teng!

Hearing the news, Liang Erhu, who was sitting in the Chinese army's tent, stood up suddenly.

Ignoring the swollen and sore gums that made him unable to speak, he asked urgently: "Is the news reliable?"

The messenger said: "Reporting to the general, this is what the scouts of the former army saw with their own eyes. The Longcheng soldiers and horses heading north are setting up camp at Panlong Pass to clean up the battlefield."

hiss!

Liang Erhu took a deep breath, and instantly even his cheeks felt less swollen and painful.

Chen Huaian's Dragon City soldiers and horses all reached the Panlong Pass natural barrier, which meant that General Wu Qingyun failed to lead the 100,000 Yun troops stationed in Yunzhou City to Jinyang as agreed.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Chen Huaian to lead his troops to march straight into Shuobei.

Liang Erhu's heart pounded, and he secretly thought that it was completely over now. He and the 80,000 Yun troops under his command were completely alone.

Once the food and grass they carry are exhausted, they can only wait for death on the loess soil in Shuobei.

When he thought of this, Liang Erhu suddenly seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and slumped down on the chair behind him again.

"Report——"

"Reporting to General, Yuhou's army captured several Turks and seized five carts of supplies!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Erhu jumped up from his chair again and hurriedly ordered: "Send the order and bring the people up!"

"As you command!"

Soon, Ars Leng, who was dressed like an ordinary herdsman on the Mobei grassland, brought the Turkic Khan Temur's handwriting and generous gifts, and came specially to pay homage to Liang Erhu, was tied up by several Yunhui Army soldiers and escorted to the Chinese army's tent. Inside.

Liang Erhu recognized at a glance that this person was one of the twelve eunuchs under the Turkic Khan Temur, the vanguard commander of the imperial camp, Ars Leng.

At this time, Als, who was tied up, also spoke: "General Liang, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you?"

"Okay, it's you, Als, you are a barbarian who has eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard, and you actually dare to come to my general's camp. Are you looking for death?"

As soon as Liang Erhu saw Als, he was instantly reminded of the unbearable memory of his home being stolen.

Immediately, he pulled out the ring-shou sword from the scabbard and rushed in front of Als Leng, shining the cold light and placing the extremely sharp blade on Als Leng's neck.

Facing the cold blade, Als showed no fear.

He even said to Liang Erhu with a smile on his face: "General Liang, if the two armies are fighting, if you don't kill the envoy, the general's behavior may be out of style!"

"Besides, doesn't the general want to know why I'm here?"

Liang Erhu stared at Als in a daze, and finally took back the ring-head knife placed on his neck angrily, and shouted angrily:

"If you have something to say, you have to fart!"

Als raised his shoulders in confusion, indicating that he was still tied up by Wu Huada.

Liang Erhu waved his hands impatiently and ordered: "Untie him!"

After a while, Als, who was freed from the restraints, stretched his muscles and conjured the oracle of the Great Khan Timur in front of Liang Erhu.

"General Liang, this is a personal letter from our Great Khan to the general. Please read it!"

"In addition, on the five carriages outside the big tent is a small gift specially prepared by our Great Khan for the general. Please accept it!"

Liang Erhu took the letter hesitantly and read it at a glance.

Gradually, the originally frowning brows relaxed.

That evening.

The 80,000 Shuobei Yunhui troops temporarily stationed in the Shenfeng Ridge area quietly returned to Shuobei City and joined forces with the Turkic barbarians who slaughtered and destroyed the people in the city.
