Chapter 853: Powerless
The Great Tent of the Chinese Army
Pei Tingshan's righteous son Xue didn't let open the curtain and came in, and bowed with his fists: "Father-in-law, it has all been determined just now, and a total of thirteen tribal leaders have already expressed their attitudes, they are willing to sacrifice cattle and sheep to store grain, and immediately cut off contact with the broad enemy Qinse. ”
Pei Tingshan smiled: "Which of these tribes is the smallest?" ”
"It's called the Lushan Division, adding up to a total of less than 10,000 people, the leader of the Lushan Department is called Dunge, speaking of which this tribe used to have a lot of origins, it was the Lushan Department and the Black Warrior Department that competed for power, they lost, the clan leader decided to surrender to the Black Warriors and admit defeat, the Black Warrior Imperial Family Jiuwuyan family accepted the submission of the Lushan Department on the surface, but at the banquet, they set up an ambush, killed all the people who participated in the wine banquet in the Lushan Department, and then ordered the slaughter of the Lushan tribe, that massacre lasted for several years, killing millions of people in the Lushan Tribe, Later, a part of the Lushan tribe fled, and after another thousand years, the Lushan tribe has declined from the original largest tribe to such a downtrodden small tribe. ”
"The biggest?"
Pei Tingshan asked again.
"The Flame Moon Clan."
Xue Burang said: "It used to be a very large tribe, similar to the experience of the Lushan Clan, in fact, the Yanyue Clan and the Ghost Moon Clan were originally the same clan, but they were different branches, the original first generation of the Black Warrior Khan Emperor came from the Yanyue Clan's Jiuwu Yan family instead of the Ghost Moon Clan, and when it came to the sixth generation of the Heiwu Khan Emperor, the people of the Ghost Moon Clan rebelled and killed the Khan Emperor, and the Yanyue nobles accompanying the Khan Emperor were all killed, and the Ghost Moon Clan's wide enemy department wiped out the Jiuwu Yan Clan. ”
Xue Burang continued: "This is the news I just heard from those tribal leaders, father-in-law, we didn't know much about the Black Warriors before, and we always thought that the Black Warriors were the Ghost Moon People, in fact, they were originally supposed to be the Eight Moon Worship Divisions, at the beginning, the Yanyue Clan was the strongest, and later they were replaced by the Ghost Moon Clan's broad enemy family, and several other of the Eight Moon Worship Divisions were also suppressed by the Ghost Moon and almost wiped out, and a small number of the Yanyue Clan fled to this place, which was considered to be a long time. ”
Pei Tingshan nodded: "Are they all gone?" ”
"It's gone."
"Send someone to follow the people of the Yanyue Clan."
"All follow."
Pei Tingshan looked at the pipe in his hand, and knocked the ash in the pipe next to him: "How many people are there in the Yanyue Clan?" ”
"There are not many, although they are the largest among the dozen or so tribes in this place, but all of them add up to a population of thirty or forty thousand, and there are barely a few thousand real capable soldiers, and they can all make up more than 10,000."
"I'll give you all the swordsmen and all the cavalry."
Pei Tingshan put his pipe aside, walked to the door of the big tent and looked out: "Set off early tomorrow morning to destroy the Yanyue Clan." ”
Xue Burang was surprised: "Haven't they already been converted?" ”
"This kind of submission is too easy for them, too easy for them to cherish."
Pei Tingshan said in a flat tone: "After you led the cavalry to destroy the Yanyue Clan early tomorrow morning, you announced to the outside world that it was the Lushan Clan who told me, and it was said that the people of the Yanyue Clan went to see the invincible Qinse people overnight, and I was furious before I ordered the Yanyue Clan to be slaughtered." ”
Xue Burang pondered for a moment and still didn't understand too much, and couldn't help but ask, "And then?" ”
"Then instruct other tribes, allies like the Lushan tribe are unreliable, because they betrayed the Yanyue clan, and even I, Pei Tingshan, look down on them, after this news is released, the other tribes will inevitably send troops to destroy the Lushan tribe."
Pei Tingshan glanced at Xue Burang: "Those small tribes have joined forces to destroy the Lushan Tribe, and you will come forward on my behalf to knock and knock, so that they will understand that if they have any more contact with Qinse, they will be wiped out, and they will also understand that it is not so easy for me to let them live." ”
Xue Bulet lowered his head: "I understand." ”
Pei Tingshan said: "These methods are disgraceful, but I don't care whether they are glorious or not, I just want them to be really afraid, Your Majesty said that there can be nothing here, then there can be no matter, Your Majesty told me to do it, I have to do it beautifully enough, they think that now they are willing to hand over some cattle and sheep to get my protection, and as soon as my Dongjiang army leaves, they will immediately rely back on the side of the black warriors, and they have to let them understand that it is not easy for each of them to stay alive." ”
"Yes."
Xue Bulet clenched his fists and turned out of the big tent.
Pei Tingshan has never been a benevolent person, and on the battlefield, the only thing he has not learned is to show mercy to the enemy.
In fact, His Majesty didn't plan to let Meng Changan come at all, and it was impossible for Shen Leng to come, because His Majesty knew very well that only Pei Tingshan could really do a good job here, and could Meng Changan do the matter of destroying the two tribes? Can Shen Leng make it?
They may do it later.
Pei Tingshan sat down in the big tent, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
Those two boys, you really haven't learned everything yet.
War is never just about winning the enemy in front of you on the battlefield.
Five days later, the palace of the city of Gedi.
Qin Se's face changed after listening to what his subordinates said: "This Pei Tingshan...... It's really ruthless, it is said that the superior should know how to make good use of people, now I finally see clearly Li Chengtang's knowledge of people and good use, Emperor Ning knows that Meng Changan and Shen Leng can't do this, so they will let Pei Tingshan go north, only five days, the Yanyue clan was wiped out by the sword soldiers of Dongjiang, and the Lushan tribe was exterminated by the other eleven small tribes, and then Pei Tingshan only needs to be lightly beaten, and all the tribes will no longer dare to have any contact with me. ”
"Then go grab it."
Warayaling looked angry: "These small tribes are a group of wall grass, I treat them kindly, they think I can deal with it, Pei Tingshan shows the knife, they become slaves, such a tribe is also a shame for the black warriors, it is better to destroy them all." ”
"Let Pei Tingshan see the joke?"
Qin Se glared at Ye Ling: "You are calm on weekdays, but you become irrational when you mention Pei Tingshan, even if I support you and hand over more than 20,000 troops in the palace to you to destroy those small tribes, this matter spreads, how many people in the entire black martial arts will want to kill me?" You can see it clearly, Ning Ren is cutting off my back road, if I don't surrender, Li Chengtang will force me to be cornered, if I surrender, Li Chengtang will give me something to live. ”
Qin Se got up, walked to the window and looked at the gloomy sky outside: "You know very well, the Ning people want to kill Samburu and then hold me up against Xin Fengyue, before this, Li Chengtang will inevitably let me lose any chance to choose, if you slaughter those dozen or so small tribes, have you thought about it, which tribe will be willing to follow me to fight against Xin Fengyue in the future?" It's almost impossible to do in the first place, and if you destroy them, there's no hope for it. ”
Jeren fell silent.
Qin Se looked out the window, and said in a somewhat sad tone: "Shen Leng is still merciful, leaving me more than 20,000 people, this is the only capital for me to settle down." ”
Yeleng took a deep breath and fell down on one knee: "The minister is wrong. ”
Qin Se glanced back at him: "Ye Ling, Emperor Ning really doesn't leave room for people to do things, everything is counted by him, and I have no other way to go...... You sent someone to Xifengkou, and said that I wanted to ask for an audience with His Majesty the Emperor Daning. ”
Ye Ling's face changed: "Your Highness, you can't go, it's too dangerous!" ”
"What's at stake?"
Qin Se shook his head: "If Emperor Ning wants to kill me, where can I wait until today?" Yeling, our only way to survive is the path pointed out by Emperor Ning, and before we can get rid of the Ning people, this road can only go down in one breath. ”
Jeren was not convinced.
can only be dissatisfied.
Qin Se has already chosen this path, he can only accompany him, no matter how difficult this road will be, but for Qin Se this is the only way to live, other than that it is a dead end, Ye Ling once thought about another thing, if His Majesty the Emperor of Daning cares about the general named Meng Changan, he will kill Qin Se sooner or later, the emperor will not allow his love to be unclear with the eldest princess of the enemy country, if Emperor Daning does not care about Meng Changan, then Meng Changan has already landed at this time.
Therefore, it is already very clear that Emperor Ning is unwilling to move Meng Chang'an, so Qin Se is the person he wants to move, and now he just needs Qin Se, once he doesn't need it, will Emperor Ning hesitate to kill people?
Ye Ling stood up and looked at Qin Se's back: "Your Highness, no matter what you choose, the minister will always be around His Highness, wherever His Highness's finger points, I will rush to wherever I go, my life is used to protect Your Highness, this is the only reason for my existence." ”
Qin Se's heart warmed, and she looked back at Ye Ling again: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Ye Ling leaned down and bowed: "The minister went to arrange the matter of asking to see Emperor Ning." ”
Qin Se nodded: "You go...... There are times when you should think for yourself, Jerene. ”
"No, you don't."
Ye Ling didn't look back, and strode out of the dormitory: "I don't have myself. ”
Qin Se frowned: "You should have." ”
Jereng had already walked out the door, and the voice came from a distance.
"I don't want to have."
Qin Se's eyes turned to the window again, and the summer ice lake looked good, but she didn't like it anymore.
There is a critical pass in the GLP Mountains hundreds of miles away from the Ice Lake Palace, called the Three-Eyed Tiger Mountain Pass, which is the only way for the southwest of Heiwu to go to the southeast, the defenders of the Three-Eyed Tiger Mountain Pass are the carefully selected team of the camp of the South Courtyard of Heiwu, the elite of the elite, the Black Warriors know the importance of the Three-Eyed Tiger Mountain Pass better than the Ning people, after the Liao Killing Wolf judged that Emperor Ning was going to do something to the camp of the North Courtyard, he immediately dispatched 20,000 elites to the Three-Eyed Tiger Mountain Pass for reinforcements.
Now in this Xiongguan, there are more than 35,000 black military border troops to defend it, behind the three-eyed tiger mountain pass is the grain warehouse of GLP Mountain, there is at least a year of grain for the defenders to support, both sides are very clear, once the three-eyed tiger mountain pass is broken by the Ning army, the Ning army will open up the southwest to the southeast of the black army, and then the southern courtyard camp will be extremely passive, and even face the danger of complete collapse.
Liao Kill Wolf would rather divide his own forces, and would rather have a more difficult side on his side, rather than Ning people easily break through the Three-Eyed Tiger Mountain Pass.
Under the three-eyed tiger mountain, Meng Changan glanced at Shen Leng: "It's been seven days." ”
Shen Leng snorted: "Yes, it's been seven days of onslaught." ”
This city pass is high enough, strong enough, there are enough defenders, they are well fed and equipped, and even the most warlike border army in the northern part of Daning has become helpless.
"The losses are already in the thousands."
Shen Leng looked at the high city pass in front of him, his eyes were a little complicated, if His Majesty ordered that the Three-Eyed Tiger Mountain Pass must be broken, then there may be tens of thousands of Daning soldiers buried here, and even if tens of thousands of lives are sacrificed, I am afraid that they will not be able to defeat it, fortunately, the GLP Mountains are in a north-south direction, if it is the same east-west direction as the White Mountain in Daning, there is such a Xiongguan, Daning may not have this Northern Expedition.
Compared with the White Mountain, the Pros Mountain is higher and more dangerous, and the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round and there is no way to go, so it is impossible to surprise the army to win.
The only way is to fight hard.
"Is there a way?"
Shen Leng asked Meng Changan.
Meng Changan didn't answer, and asked him, "What about you?" ”
The two men fell silent.
As the sun set, the two young men felt powerless for the first time.
