Chapter 838: Miscalculation

(The fifth more is delivered, thank you for the support of the monthly pass!) )

On the grassland, Li Ke's secret envoy Shi Yan stood on horseback, and in front of him was the mighty grassland iron horse. The black flags, black leather armor, tall horses, and snow-bright scimitars converged into a black torrent, exuding a solemn atmosphere, and the ranks of the army stretched for more than ten miles.

In just a few months, Shi Yan lived up to his expectations, running day and night inside and outside the Great Wall and on the vast grassland desert, and finally said that he moved the Khitan Yili Jin and dozens of tribes on the grassland, agreed to Li Keyong's request, and formed a grassland tribe coalition army, ready to go south to the north, and clean up the portal for Li Keyong.

In this army, there are only 10,000 iron horsemen in the real soldiers, but this time they went south to fight, and they went to rob. In order to recapture Shatuo from Li Siyuan, Li Keyong promised the tribes that they would only face tens of thousands of soldiers in the south this time, and when they arrived, the tens of thousands of soldiers who would persist in fighting might not exceed 20,000. And he agreed with the tribes that in the land of the north, all the money and grain for Li Ke and the tribes will take half of each, and the land will belong to Li Ke. If they can help him defeat the five states of Ulzhou, Wu, Xin, Confucian, and Concubine by the way, then all the money and grain children in the five states will belong to the tribes, and he will not take anything, only the territory.

The leaders of the tribal alliance were happy to accept Li Keyong's generosity and were willing to go to the Central Plains this summer to make a fortune.

The warriors of each tribe gathered 10,000 iron horsemen, but each soldier brought four auxiliaries, and the strong warriors brought their fathers and sons with them, and it seemed to them that it would be a grand hunt. More people must be brought with them. Otherwise. How to bring back those rich loot then. Each warrior brought twice as many auxiliaries as before, and many smaller tribes were sent out with men, young and old, and some with strong slaves and strong women.

By the time this team finally arrived at the grassland under the Yin Mountain, it had reached the scale of 80,000 people. The real vastness is endless, and the line stretches for dozens of miles.

Last year. There were several major wars on the grassland, and the Khitan and the grassland tribes in the north of Yinshan suffered great losses. Because of the strength of the Qin Domain, the grassland tribes have not crossed the Yin Mountain to plunder for several years. This time, Li Keyong told them that Li Jing's hundreds of thousands of troops were currently fighting the Khitan, Murowei, and Heishui coalition forces in the northeast. Right now, Daibei is empty, and it's time to grab a vote.

Now, countless tribes on the grassland gathered under Li Keyong's tempting invitation, ready to go to the Central Plains to grab it. Anyway, Li Keyong invited them to rob his own house, how could he refuse such a good thing.

Shi Yan stared at the groups of horses that walked in front of him. These tribal alliances didn't have any formations, they just whistled by. Groups of gangs, even dragging families with their mouths, fathers, sons, grandchildren and grandchildren went into battle. But Shi Yan would never doubt the power of this army. The grassland tribes, even the old and the young, are sometimes more powerful than the soldiers of the Central Plains.

What's more, he firmly believed that as soon as this army appeared in Daibei and entered Datong Yanmen, it would inevitably cause great pressure on Li Siyuan's army. At that time, the soldiers who have regained their allegiance to the King of Jin will take the opportunity to attack and fight back. Attacking inside and outside, Li Siyuan will never be able to block it.

King Jin took such great effort to invite a large army from the grassland, not all to deal with Li Siyuan. To deal with Li Siyuan, it is almost enough to have the order of King Jin. However, the king of Jin didn't want things to be too dreamy at night, so before it was inconvenient to use the southbound army in the river, he directly invited a Hu army from outside the Saiwai to destroy Li Siyuan with the power of thunder and recapture Daibei. The most important thing is that once the Hu people are addicted to Daibei, as long as they say a few nice words, they will definitely continue to fight Ulzhou and Shanqian Prefectures.

Let Hu Ren fight with Li Jing.

Li Ke and the abacus played very well, if the Hu people defeated Weiwu and other places because Li Jing is now devoted to the battle of the Northeast, it will naturally be a great thing. Anyway, it's just a matter of paying some money to feed the population, and it's definitely still earned. Even if the Hu people are defeated by Li Jing, it doesn't matter. Anyway, it was the Hu people who died, and it was not bad to use those Hu people to consume Li Jing's strength.

No matter how you calculate it, Li Keyong will not lose.

Shi Yan remembered the secret envoy he had sent, and he should have arrived in the river. I don't know if Lu Dao has successfully delivered the news to the King of Jin, and now the tribal alliance is ready to go, just waiting for the King of Jin to give an order.

In the river, the Shatuo camp, the night is dark.

After killing Li Sizhao, Li Keyong completely took over the military power of the two southbound Shatuo armies and reunited them into one. For this reason, although Zheng Congyan, the marshal of the Hedong Coalition Army, was a little dissatisfied, he only acquiesced. Li Keyong is not Li Sizhao Li Cunjin, as long as this domineering guy is willing to continue to attack Luoyang together, Zheng Congyan will tolerate some of his other small actions.

It was late at night, but Li Keyong hadn't fallen asleep yet. He sat quietly under the lamp, silently thinking about his thoughts.

Cao Shi was also in the army at this time, and when he saw that Li Keyong was silent, he asked, "There is no news from General Shi's side?" ”

Li Keyong nodded, and then said: "You don't have to worry, the last time he sent someone to say that things are going well." Shi Yan is loyal and effective, and will definitely live up to his mission, bring the coalition forces back, defeat those traitors, and recapture the land of Daibei. ”

Cao Shi shook his head, "I'm not worried that General Shi won't be able to complete his mission, but I'm worried about other things. I always feel that maybe there is no need to meet each other in such a military battle, General Siyuan is your righteous son, maybe you can talk about it. In that way, there is no need to fight, the Hu people go south, and the king of Jin wants to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, but he is afraid that he will lead the wolf into the house. Daibei is now our foundation, if Daibei loses, then it will be homeless. ”

Li Ke met Cao's worried gaze, but he couldn't help but think of Liu in his heart. How happy the husband and wife used to be, but now all has changed. Liu Yunniang became someone else's woman, but she had to use external forces to regain power from the hands of her two righteous sons.

Li Keyong walked over, stroked Cao's shoulder, and looked at her with firm eyes: "It's going to be fine, we will definitely be able to recapture Daibei and establish Shatuo Kingdom in the future, and when our children grow up, he will be the King of Shatuo." ”

At this time, the sound of footsteps outside came, and a guard reported: "King, there is an urgent report." ”

Li Keyong could hear that it was the voice of the crow soldier Mi Rong, the last time he was in distress, Mi Rong had been guarding him wholeheartedly, which made Li Keyong trust him very much. Now that he has regained military power, Li Keyong immediately appointed Lao Kang Mirong and others to serve as important guards, and Mi Rong became a personal guard.

Li Ke came out with a tent, and Mi Rong led a man to stand there, and said, "Great King, the messenger of Daibei has arrived. ”

"Shi Yan has news?" Rick smiled on his face. He's been waiting for the news, and now it's finally here.

The people behind Mi Rong saluted Li Keyong: "Report to the king, I am not General Shi's messenger, I am General Cheng Huaiyi's messenger, and I just came all the way from Taixi Pass." ”

Li Ke froze the smile on his face at the corner of his mouth, Cheng Huaiyi guarded the Taixi Pass on the border of the Wei Dynasty, and before Li Keyong appeared, he had already secretly sent someone to contact him. In fact, the last time Li Keyong went to Yanjing, he passed through Thai Opera Pass. Cheng Huaiyi has regained his allegiance to him and is willing to fight back against Li Siyuan at a critical time. But now that Cheng Huaiyi has sent someone over, something unexpected must have happened.

"What's going on?" Li Ke asked with a frown.

The messenger took out a letter box from his bosom, which was also covered with Cheng Huaiyi's fire paint seal, which was intact and had not been opened.

Rick opened the letterbox and pulled out a letter from inside.

The more he looked at Li Keyong's brows, the more he wrinkled, "Cheng Huaiyi's spies found that the Qin army in Ulzhou was moving towards the border of the Wei Dynasty and the border of Weiyun. There are also traces that there are more Qin troops passing through the military capital and Puyin Flying Fox through the Taihang Mountain and entering Daibei. ”

Mi Rong couldn't help but exclaim: "The Qin army suddenly moved so differently at this time, did they want to attack Daibei?" ”

"Or, Li Siyuan, a traitor, has already known about the movement here, so the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, didn't care about hiding, and has already torn through the disguise, and directly surrendered to Li Jing, and asked Li Jing to send troops to help him, so as to prevent us from cleaning up the portal." Lick snorted coldly. The changes in the land of Daibei indirectly proved that his previous suspicions about Li Siyuan were correct. This damn accumulation of life has indeed colluded with Li Jing a long time ago. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to die as soon as Li Sizhao was killed, and Li Siyuan immediately reacted like this, without even sending him half an explanation.

"You immediately inform Cunzhang, Cunjin, Sien, and Heiben, and let them come here immediately, and I will discuss with them specific countermeasures." Li Keyong said to Mi Rong.

Several Shatuo generals arrived quickly, and on the way they all knew the reason why Li Keyong had recruited them. Hearing that the Qin army had moved and increased troops to the north of Dai, everyone looked solemn. Daibei is Shatuo's hometown, and now it is Li Siyuan, a 'traitor'. If Li Siyuan led the Qin army into the north of the Dynasty, it would be really a big trouble.

Almost all the families of the soldiers in the big camp in the river are in Daibei, and if Daibei is lost, this army may be distracted.

"What is the king going to do?" Li Cunzhang asked.

Li Ke clenched his fists tightly, he had been thinking about it for a long time. Now he controls the 50,000 Shatuo soldiers and horses in the river battalion. But there is still a Taiyuan in the middle of the river, and if Li Siyuan really surrenders to the enemy at the moment, he is afraid that it will be difficult to save the fire from far away. At this point, it's useless to be anxious. He originally thought that he would personally kill Li Sizhao in the river and seize 50,000 soldiers and horses in the river. Then let Shi Yan lead the Hu people to the south and replace the north, at that time, Cheng Huaiyi and other generals will suddenly attack again, attack inside and outside, and do not give Li Siyuan any room to take Yanmen Datong. But who would have thought that Li Siyuan's reaction would be so fast, or rather, Shi Yan's movements were a beat slower.

"Immediately send someone to inform Shi Yan and ask him to immediately lead his troops south. In addition, tell Cheng Huaiyi that if the matter is urgent, you can do it in advance. In any case, the Qin army must not be allowed to enter Yanmen Datong! Li Ke said in a deep voice. (To be continued......)
