So the five tribes sent people to Li Zhi one after another to express their willingness to accept Li Zhi's surrender. However, he also put forward a condition, that is, to help him unify the Xi country.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the chiefs of these five tribes really have the same heart. The conditions put forward are all so the same. Wei Chigong said to Li Zhi with a smile.

"Strategist, now how are we going to reply to them. You can't promise them five chiefs at the same time. I am afraid that it will be difficult to control the situation at that time. Li Zhi asked Xu Maogong worriedly.

Xu Maogong stood up and saluted Li Zhi and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can send someone again to tell them about the five chiefs." Let them know that in addition to themselves, several other chiefs have also contacted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will choose among the five chiefs. But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only chooses the strongest partners, and the way to prove which of them is the strongest, they should be able to figure it out themselves. ”

"Then we have to trouble the vanguard general once, and send someone to send them another letter." After hearing Xu Maogong's words, Li Zhi nodded and said to Wei Chigong.

"Listen to His Royal Highness the Prince, rest assured, I, Wei Chi Gong, will definitely finish this matter perfectly. Guarantee that they will charge for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Wei Chigong said confidently.

……

With the first time, the second time is even simpler. The chiefs of one tribe knew that now other chieftains were willing to join Li Zhi. This can't help but move my mind.

They knew that if they wanted to rely on their own strength, it would be absolutely impossible to unify the Xi country. Even if Li Zhi did not bring troops to the final result, Xi Guo was divided into five.

So naturally they are not willing to give up this opportunity, but they are ready to let Li Tai see that the way they are the strongest is different.

Among them, four chieftains were ready to send troops to the Khitan to help Li Zhi exterminate the Khitan State in order to prove himself. There was another chieftain, but he had a different idea.

The way he wants to prove himself best is for Li Zhi to see how he can annex the other four tribes. This chief is none other than the chief of the Ahui Ministry.

But no matter what way they choose to prove themselves, Li Zhi will not care. Because no matter which way they choose, it will be Li Zhi who will benefit in the end.

So there is a strange phenomenon on the grassland, that is, there are cavalry of Xi State in front, fighting against the Khitan iron cavalry. And behind them, another cavalry will suddenly be killed.

However, this cavalry is not in cooperation with the Khitan iron cavalry. They will wait until the battle between the two armies is stalemate, and it has the meaning of praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches.

In this way, Li Zhi led the cavalry led by the five chieftains of Xi to open the way. It can be said that the journey was very smooth, and he launched an attack on the Khitan Babu.

The Khitan Kingdom was formed by a confederation of eight tribes, namely the Daji Department of Qiaoluo Prefecture, the Jue Ben Department of Danhan Prefecture, the Duhuo Department of Wufeng Prefecture, the Fenwen Department of Yuling Prefecture, the Tubian Department of Rilian Prefecture, the Rui Xi Department of Tuhe Prefecture, the Shenjin Department of Banten Prefecture, the Fu Department of Pili Prefecture and Chishan Prefecture.

From these eight divisions, the eight divisions of the Dahe Khitan were formed, and the kings of all dynasties had the Oga clan as the members. Now the one who is imprisoned by Li Tai is the Great Gremo Society.

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

Because although they are all sons of the Ogamo Society, they are not the same people. This naturally leads to a certain disagreement.

Although the places where the Khitan Babu lived were all called prefectures, they were very different from the state capitals of the Central Plains. The most obvious is that they don't have real walls.

The so-called city wall of the Khitan is just a section of earthen wall, which cannot achieve the defensive effect of the city wall at all. Only the royal city of the Khitan still has some momentum.

(Whether the Khitan had a royal city during the Zhenguan period, and the dragon soul is not clear.) Therefore, when the dragon soul is made up, don't sit in the right seat. ）

So now the eight major tribes have all gathered in the royal city. In this way, there are nearly one million Khitans in the royal city.

And this Khitan people have lived on horseback since childhood, even the elderly and women are not idle. Give them a war knife and a war horse, and they can also go into battle to kill the enemy.

In this way, Li Zhi's pressure was great, and he was originally going to break the eight tribes one by one. Eventually, the army besieged the royal city, but now this plan has failed.

It turned out that when Li Zhi attacked Xi Guo, the son of the Great Age Mokai, Brother Ohga, finally defeated the other competitors. became the new Khitan king of the Khitan Kingdom.

(Whether the relationship between Oga Mokai and Oga Cave Brother is father and son, the dragon soul is not sure.) Because the information only says that Oga Cave Brother is a descendant of Oga Mokai. Because of the needs of the plot, the dragon soul gave them a definite relationship. ）

This Dahe cave brother is not an idle person, he knows that after Li Zhi pacifies the Xi State, he will definitely send troops to attack the Khitan. With the characteristics of the Tang army that are good at attacking cities, the Tucheng inhabited by the major tribes cannot resist the Tang army at all.

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

At the same time, he also sent two cavalry armies, each of which numbered as many as 50,000 people. They did not enter the Khitan royal city, but laid an ambush around it.

In order to surprise the soldiers when the time comes, they should cooperate with the Khitan iron cavalry in the royal city. In order to destroy the 200,000 troops brought by Li Zhi.

But Brother Dahe never expected that it was not the Tang Army that took the lead in attacking them. Rather, it was their neighbors, the five tribes of the Xi Kingdom.

Unlike the Tang Army, they were also nomads living on horseback. So they didn't have a choice and launched an attack on the Khitan royal city.

Instead, I accidentally discovered the two Khitan iron horsemen on the periphery. So outside the Khitan royal city, a fierce cavalry battle took place.

The final result was naturally a defeat for both sides, so Brother Dahe could only open the city gate and let these two cavalry with heavy losses enter the Khitan royal city.

However, this did not stop the battle outside the Khitan King's city, but instead intensified. Because in addition to the Ahui tribe, the other four major tribes all suffered heavy losses in the battle with the Khitan iron cavalry.

At this time, the chief of the Ah Hui Department came out to clean up the mess. unexpectedly let him kill the four chiefs in one battle, and defeated the remnants of the four chiefs, all of them for his own use.

In this way, the chieftain of the Ahui Department has nearly 100,000 cavalry in his hands. He was not stupid enough to directly lead his troops to attack the Khitan Royal City.

Instead, he directly led 100,000 Xi cavalry and waved his army to take refuge with the crown prince Li Zhi. This was also a result that the crown prince Li Zhi did not expect, and even Xu Maogong was a little surprised.

After all, Xu Maogong did not expect that before the Tang army reached the Khitan, the Khitan would be unified again. That's why this unexpected result occurred.

However, this did not catch Xu Maogong off guard. On the contrary, it made Xu Maogong think of a better plan.
