Chapter 236 Meeting Wanyan Aguda for the first time
Chapter 236: First meeting with Wanyan Aguda
Li Xiang's Bingzhou Army was not stationed together with Wanyan Aguda's Southern Huns Army. There was a Central Plains culture and a grassland civilization. Although everyone would have to fight the enemy together next, but the armies of two completely different civilizations would gather together.
bad thing.
However, the two sides are not too far apart, only more than twenty miles. If they march quickly, they can reach the other side's camp in more than an hour.
In this way, it can not only avoid the problems that may arise when the two sides come together, but also prevent them from being defeated by Temujin's Mongols due to untimely rescue.
Now, at least on the surface, Temujin is the most powerful party among the three parties. Together with some other grassland tribes that Temujin has recovered over the years, Temujin can easily gather 150,000 people even without using all his strength.
Army.
As for Li Xiang, he only brought an army of 60,000 to join the alliance. As for the Southern Xiongnu defeated by Wanyan Agu, their military strength was slightly greater than that of Li Xiang, with a full army of 100,000.
However, after the last battle with Temujin, the Southern Xiongnu defeated by Wanyan Agu were seriously injured. This time, they had to scrape together a hundred thousand troops by scrapping everything together. As for the combat strength of these one hundred thousand troops,
It is subject to discussion.
Therefore, even if Wanyan Aguda and Li Xiang join forces to deal with Temujin, Temujin actually has the upper hand. What's more, the alliance between Wanyan Aguda and Li Xiang is not close, and Li Xiang is
Be careful and thoughtful.
It is precisely based on this that although Li Xiang eagerly took the land of the Loop into his pocket, in the early stage, Li Xiang had to help Wanyan Aguda deal with Temujin. Otherwise, if Li Xiang took action easily, he would only be defeated by Temujin.
Mu Zhen is reaping the benefits.
When Wanyan Wu Qimai informed Wanyan Aguda that Li Xiang was coming, Wanyan Aguda personally led the Southern Huns generals to meet Li Xiang.
Upon seeing this, Li Xiang personally led a group of generals to greet Wanyan Aguda. Next, he would face a formidable enemy like Temujin, so there was no need to cause displeasure on both sides over trivial matters.
What's more, although their positions are different, to be fair, a hero like Wanyan Aguda is worthy of Li Xiang personally going out to greet him.
The camp gate.
Wanyan Aguda stood first. Next to him, Wanyan Wu Qimai, the second most important figure of the Southern Huns, was half a step behind. Behind these two people, Wanyan Loushi, Shanshituo, Wanyan Jinbaizi and other people
The general stood quietly among them.
Compared to Wanyan Aguda's lineup, Li Xiang's side is more powerful. The two bodyguards, Xing Tian and Dian Wei, stand on either side of Li Xiang.
Although these two people seemed to be just standing there quietly, they were already ready to take action at any time. If the person on the other side did anything detrimental to Li Xiang in the slightest, they would be punished by Xing Tian and Dian immediately.
Wei's thunder attack.
Behind Li Xiang, Su Lie, Zhao Yun, Luo Cheng, Qin Qiong, and Yuchi Gong were also staring at the Southern Huns' team with eager eyes.
Although the Bingzhou Army and the Southern Xiongnu have temporarily formed a temporary alliance in name, it is obvious that the hatred between the two sides has been engraved in the bones. If it were not for the efforts of Li Xiang and Wanyan Aguda to suppress the leaders of the two sides, I am afraid that the two sides would have been
The fight started.
However, compared to the tense situations among the people below, the leaders of both sides, Li Xiang and Wanyan Aguda, get along harmoniously. At least, that's how it seems on the surface.
"I have heard about General Li's name since the Battle of Yanmen a few years ago, and today I finally met General Li in person!" Wanyan Aguda saluted Li Xiang with dignity but a hint of respect.
"The name of Wanyan Khan has been well known to Li Xiang for a long time!" Both parties are the leaders of one force, so they must give him a minimum of face. Faced with Wanyan Aguda's salute, Li Xiang returned the same salute.
Speaking of which, Wanyan Aguda was the first enemy Li Xiang officially faced after his rebirth, but if we say that the two met in a real sense, this was the first time.
"Wanyan Khan, please." After saying hello, Li Xiang very enthusiastically led the Southern Huns into his handsome tent.
In the commander's tent, after the guests and hosts were seated, Wanyan Aguda was the first to speak, "Thank you so much for coming to help General Li this time. I would like to do this first to express my gratitude to General Li for his help!"
After saying that, Wanyan Aguda drank the large glass of strong wine in front of him in one gulp.
"You're welcome, Khan. You and I have been neighbors for a long time. Now that hungry wolves have appeared in the north, Xiang Zi should help Khan." Li Xiang replied politely.
Li Xiang and Wanyan Aguda both tacitly agreed not to mention the price that the Southern Xiongnu would have to pay after requesting the troops to join the state.
Wanyan Aguda is different from Wanyan Wu Qimai. Although Wanyan Wu Qimai also holds great power in the Southern Huns, he is still essentially a minister. But Wanyan Aguda is the Khan of the Southern Xiongnu and the king of the Southern Xiongnu.
Li Xiang can trample on the dignity of a courtier, but he cannot ignore the face of a king. If Li Xiang offends Wanyan Aguda's face, it will be no less than stepping on the Southern Huns.
At present, a formidable enemy would cause unhappiness on both sides, which would only benefit Temujin, who was watching eagerly not far away. Therefore, Li Xiang's attitude towards Wanyan Aguda was completely different from his previous attitude towards Wanyan Wu's begging for goods.
The same is true for Wanyan Aguda. From the beginning of the meeting, Wanyan Aguda behaved impeccably when facing Li Xiang, and did not lose any etiquette.
"General Li, I wonder how you think this battle should be conducted." Wanyan Aguda was not a procrastinator, so after some pleasantries, Wanyan Aguda spoke first.
"The troops will block it, and the water will cover it. The combined forces of you and I are not necessarily much worse than Temujin's Mongolia. As long as we fight steadily, there is nothing Temujin can do to me."
"What's more, although I have never seen Temujin, I have also heard that this man is like a god with weapons, and that he can develop from a small tribal leader to today, which shows his ability. Faced with such a person, in the
If you are not sure enough, it is better not to take risks." Li Xiang said with a slightly solemn expression.
Hearing this, Wanyan Aguda nodded solemnly and agreed with Li Xiang's opinion.
Not only Wanyan Aguda, but also the thick-lined military commanders such as Mountain Lion Camel and Wanyan Jinpinzi couldn't help but nodded, which clearly shows the great pressure Temujin put on them.
In fact, not to mention that Li Xiang did not put forward any substantive opinions. Even if he did, Wanyan Aguda would only choose to play it slow and steady.
In this battle, Temujin could lose, and so could Li Xiang, but only Wanyan Aguda could not lose.
Wanyan Aguda could no longer afford to lose. If he lost this battle, it would mean that the Southern Huns had truly come to an end.
