"General Blan, you can appear here, you must have already made a decision!" Dugu Jun asked with a smile. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Bu Lan took a sip of the tea handed over by Dugu Jun and said: "Lord Dugu, it's too early to say that we have made a decision, like the Sogdians and Greeks, we Khazars also like to do business, since I want to sell myself, I have to sell myself at a good price, otherwise how can I be worthy of myself?" What do you say? ”

Dugu Jun smiled when he heard this, "I heard that General Blan has Jewish blood, no wonder he is so good at business!" ”

Blan was stunned, "I didn't expect you to even know this, it seems that you did do your homework!" Say, what do you want me to do? ”

Dugu Jun said: "Whether this negotiation can be successful, neither of us is clear!" If successful, we will support you to regain your foothold in the Khazar Khan, you have many of your former cronies, you must gather them all into a force, but you must obey our orders! Otherwise, you will lose everything, even your life! If the negotiations fail, we will continue to fight the Khazar Khanate, and in the event of a decisive battle between the two armies, we hope that General Bran will lead your men to fight against Habil at the critical moment! Either way, you can get more power, as long as you are loyal to Western Qin, our king will not hesitate to reward, even if you become the Khan of the Khazar Khanate, it is not difficult for you to be the khan, it all depends on your performance! Like you said, you need to sell yourself for a good price, and we also need to get an equivalent return, otherwise it's not a good deal for us, in the words of our king, we want it to be a win-win situation, you get what you need, and we get what we need, it's as simple as that! I'm saying that clearly, right? That's our sincerity! ”

Bran sighed: "God bear witness, Lord Dugu, you are the first person I have ever met who can speak such a dirty deal so sincerely, which does not make me feel ashamed, but rightfully so!" Yes, your words and attitude are very sincere, you touched me and we reached the deal! However, I now only have 1,000 men under my command, and if the negotiations are not successful, I only have 1,000 men to launch a surprise attack on Habil, and I am really not sure if it will succeed! ”

Dugu Jun smiled and said, "General Bulan, you have three thousand people!" ”

Bran was stunned for a moment and said, "Habil has demoted me from a commander to a commander of thousands, and I can only command a thousand people!" ”

"Although you are only a commander of a thousand people, there are two thousand other people who are your old subordinates, and they have been under your command for many years, don't you have influence on them? Can't you just find a way to get them to obey your commands? Use your brain, I'm sure you'll come up with a good idea! There are too many greedy people in this world, and people can be bought as long as they have a greedy heart, what do you say? ”

sent Bu Lan away, Dugu Jun immediately sent someone to find Hong Yi and told him: "Bu Lan has already come to look for me?" ”

Hong Yi was overjoyed and said, "Your Excellency has successfully rebelled against him?" ”

Dugu Jun twisted his beard and said, "It's too early to say success!" In addition, it is not so much a rebellion, but a good and appropriate buy-off, whether this person can play a role, it depends on our efforts and his own performance! ”

Hong Yi nodded and asked, "Then ・・・・・・ negotiation?" ”

"Go on, we can delay as long as we can, we can't regress in terms of terms, if the Khazar Khanate can agree to our terms, we can't withdraw our troops, it will bring us more benefits than destroying the Khazar Khanate!"

"Understood!"

It has been two days since Zhao Ziliang led the 2,000 cavalry of the escort army down to the southwest, and the distance traveled by the rapid march of the army in the past two days has reached 600 miles, and the distance traveled is more than 100 miles longer than Zhao Ziliang expected.

Early in the morning, the army came to a hilly area, full of shrubs, thorns, weeds, two days of sleepless rapid marching made the soldiers a little tired, but it was no problem to continue the march, anyway, resting on horseback and eating, drinking, Lazar, the war horse was much more tired than people, even the Mobei bantam horse with strong endurance was a little unbearable.

Seeing this hilly area, Zhao Ziliang immediately shouted: "Duan Xiushi, order the soldiers to enter this hilly area to rest for a day, and then set off at dusk, we will try to avoid the Khazar herdsmen who may appear during the day!"

"No!"

In order not to reveal his whereabouts, he can not make a sound, try not to make a sound, even the horn used for the usual herald is not used, and there is no need for the herald to ride to the various departments to shout loudly, and directly raise the command flag to convey the military order, and the soldiers of the various departments will enter the hilly area under the leadership of the generals after seeing the flag, feed the war horses with beans, and then tie the reins to the small trees to let them graze by themselves.

The necessary vigilance is indispensable, and the task of vigilance is carried out by Zhao Ziliang personally with the personal guards, at this time, his practice made the soldiers feel at ease and quickly fell asleep.

Zhao Ziliang and Nur rotated, and the two rested for two hours each, and at dusk in the evening, Zhao Ziliang woke up and immediately sent someone to wake everyone up, and informed everyone to solve their physiological needs within a quarter of an hour and set off.

After resting for a day, the Western Qin army was alive again, and the war horses also recovered their strength after resting and eating during this day, and the next march was a little faster than before.

The next day, at about four o'clock in the morning, a fast horse galloped in front of the marching army, and the knight reported to Xuan 18, who immediately reported to Zhao Ziliangyu: "Great King, ten miles ahead of you have arrived at the river side of the Yeli River, on the other side of the river is a huge dwelling place, there are tents on the periphery, and there are houses built of stone inside, and the brothers of the Huya Army have crossed the river to find out, this is Artyer!" According to the size of the camp by the river in the place of residence, there should be 3,000 Khazar cavalry here! ”

Zhao Ziliang asked, "Have you figured out where the batch of ordnance and materials that the Eastern Roman Empire supported the Khazar Khanate were hoarded?" ”

"The brothers of the Huya Army are investigating, and the last general has already told them, and they will report as soon as there is news!"

"Good!" Zhao Ziliang nodded and waved his hand to the herald: "Continue to march!" ”

After the torches were flown out, the army continued to march without anyone making a sound, not even the horses neighing much at this time.

The army soon arrived at the river, and there was a reason why the Khazars chose this place as a place for winter hunting, because the banks of the river here are low, the riverbed is flat, the river is not too wide, the water flow is gentle, and it is very easy to freeze in winter, even in summer, the water here is only as deep as a horse, and you can cross the river on a war horse, and now the river has risen a little, but it is not enough to drown the horseback.

Zhao Ziliang stopped and looked at the dark Attil on the other side of the river, at this time a knight rode across the river on horseback, Xuan 18 immediately jumped off the horse and walked over, he quickly returned to Zhao Ziliang after getting the report: "King, everything in Attil has been explored clearly, this is the plan sketch of Attil drawn by the brothers in charge of the investigation!" ”

Zhao Ziliang jumped off the horse and took the sketch and spread it on the horseback, the guard next to him held a torch to illuminate the map, Zhao Ziliang quickly read the map by the light of the torch, and then put away the map and instructed Xuan Eighteen: "Send an order to the soldiers of the Huya Army, let them cooperate with us to set fire to the Khazar camp, but don't burn the ordnance and food, we need this batch of things!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "Cross the river!" ”

Faced with the upcoming battle, the officers and men of the Western Qin Army swept away their previous fatigue and immediately became energetic, and they all silently followed the officers, brigade commanders, captains and generals across the river.

It took an hour to cross the river, and it was already the darkest time before dawn, when Zhao Ziliang appeared in the Khazar army camp by the Attil River with two thousand cavalry, not only did the Khazar herdsmen in Attil know nothing, but even the Khazar soldiers in the Khazar army camp were sleeping soundly.

Zhao Ziliang explained to Duan Xiushi and the generals of each department the last matters before the attack: "First, there are soldiers of our Huya Army in the camp to do internal response, don't hurt them by mistake!" Second, hit the camp first, and then hit the residential area! Do you understand? ”

"Understood!"

"Attack!"

With Zhao Ziliang shouting, he took the lead and rushed towards the camp with a horse lance, Duan Xiushi, Nuer and others rushed out with their own soldiers and the two thousand cavalry behind them in a charging formation.

The sound of a large number of horses' hooves soon spread, and the Khazars in the camp had some reactions, but at this time it was the most sleepy time of the day, and many people were still confused, and Zhao Ziliang had already used his horse lance to pick up the rejection horse blocking the camp gate and rushed in with two thousand men and horses.

"Take the team as a unit, disperse the siege!" Zhao Ziliang waved his horse lance and shouted an order. The Western Qin army was divided into countless small units, and besieged the camp tents in the camp as a team, some people were shot dead as soon as they rushed out of the camp, and some of the camp tents were overturned without anyone running out, everyone in the tent was pressed underneath, the war horses ran over, and the people under the camp tent were trampled into meat pies.

The Huya soldiers who infiltrated the camp had also begun to set fire to the camp at this time, the stables were set on fire, the Khazar horses were frightened and ran out of the camp, and many camp tents were also set on fire.

This was a massacre without resistance, this kind of scene is not unfamiliar to Zhao Ziliang and others, and most of the scenes of successful raids are like this, so there is nothing surprising.

In only half an hour, the 3,000 Khazar army was wiped out, and all but the ordnance and food were burned to ashes.

"Duan Xiushi, you take someone to fight Artyer, you have an hour!" After dealing with the three thousand Khazarian army, Zhao Ziliang instructed Duan Xiushi.

"Yes, King!"

At about ten o'clock in the morning, a raging fire broke out in Athil, and the smoke rose to the sky, and Athil, an important material transit point in the Khazar Khanate, where more than 3,000 people lived, was burned to the ground, and no one could escape, in order to block the news, Zhao Ziliang had to do so, although he was not very willing.
