Seeing the expectant looks of everyone, Jin Bo felt a little proud, and said slowly: "The little emperor of the Han people said that Chang'an was occupied by rebels, and he asked us to send troops to help him recapture Chang'an!"
"No!" Murong Kuaixing stood up and said loudly, "The grazing season will be here in one month. Whether the cattle and sheep can be fattened and strong, the next few months are the most critical. How can everyone go to Chang'an?
Go help the Han Emperor fight the war!"
After saying that, Murong Kuaixing glanced at Jin Bo with contempt, meaning that if you don't understand the affairs of our nomadic tribe, don't give random orders here.
All the leaders also echoed.
Murong Fuyun smiled and said: "Uncle, you don't know something. The young emperor of the Han people promised us that as long as we capture Chang'an City, we will take the gold and silk of our children. Where is Chang'an City? It was the capital of the Sui Dynasty.
I heard that the treasury is filled with gold, silver and jewels, which I can enjoy in a few lifetimes. There are also three thousand beauties in the palace, all of them are as beautiful as flowers, and their skin is as smooth as silk. When the time comes, don’t be reluctant to return home.
.Ha ha ha ha……"
…
Hundreds of miles away in Weiding City, Liu Ziqiu was also actively preparing for war. Even without the information provided by He Chou, it was expected that the Xianbei people would make a comeback as summer approached, but they didn't know that he showed up at Tuoba Yuanju's wedding.
How many tribal leaders could be suppressed with one hand? Without the support of other tribes, the power of the Xianbei people alone would not be enough to shake Weiding City.
In the government hall, there is a huge sand table, which Liu Ziqiu made by himself. As a special forces soldier responsible for reconnaissance missions, making and using sand tables is an important skill. This sand table reflects the surroundings of Tuosu Lake.
The geographical situation is clear at a glance. To the north is the Qaidam Mountain and the Tataling River, to the west is Taijinair Lake, to the south is Horusun Lake, and to the east is the Bayingol River. In order to make this sand table, Liu Ziqiu specially
I made six trips to Tuosu Lake.
Liu Yu, Jiang Yu, Zhao Ling and others were all admiring the exquisite sand table. Today, all the leading figures in Weiding City came. Even Jiao Liyan, who was sent out to search for iron ore, was ordered to lead the army.
The whole team rushed back, and even He Chou was here.
Tuosu Lake is much smaller than Xihai Lake. It is the dry season now, and the lake bed has long dried up, turning it into a barren basin.
Liu Ziqiu pointed to the location of Tuosu Lake on the sand table and said in a deep voice: "Everyone can see clearly, this is where our decisive battle with Murong Fuyun will take place!"
Liu Yu was confused and asked: "Why don't we rely on Weiding City to fight him decisively, but we have to go on an expedition?"
Zhao Ling said with a smile: "Liu Canjun believed that the best place for the decisive battle was Weiding City, and Murong Fuyun must have thought the same. In that case, no one expected that the Lord would push the battlefield to Tuosu Lake. The so-called surprise, unprepared attack,
Only by surprise can you win.”
Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said: "This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the Xianbei people have been entrenched in Weiding City for decades and are more familiar with the surrounding terrain than we are. And Tumulu and the others used to live in
In the Tuosu Lake area, Jiao Liyan and the others live near Taijinel Lake and know the surrounding environment better than the Xianbei people. This is the home ground for our battle!"
"Home field? This term is quite new." Jiang Yu smiled, "Then how many troops do you intend to mobilize to fight at this home field?"
Liu Ziqiu stretched out his right hand, raised his thumb and index finger, made a gesture, and said lightly: "Eight thousand people!"
"Eight thousand people!" Everyone was shocked.
Before Wu Yun led the team of Shiwei people to join in, there were only eight thousand-man teams in Weiding City. After the Shiwei people fought through the small valley, there were only more than 400 young men left. Now it is necessary to force 8,000 people.
If all is invested in Tuosu Lake, Weiding City will be left with only an empty city.
"Lord, what should I do if Murong Fuyun comes to Weiding City? Also, we must be on guard against Yu Wenhua and there." The one who is most worried is Zhao Ling. With his small body, Liu Ziqiu will definitely not be able to let him go.
He went to the battlefield. But it was too dangerous to stay in the empty city of Weiding.
"Yu Wenhuaji doesn't need to worry about him, his attention is not on the Xihai." Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "Aren't the women and children of our Xihai tribe all good at drawing bows and shooting arrows? We can organize them and use them well, and they will be the same.
An elite soldier!"
Since that blind date party, whether it is Tumulu, Jiaoliyan's tribe, Wuyun's Shiwei tribe, or the Sui soldiers who stayed behind, they have all been completely integrated into a whole, that is, the brand new Xihai tribe.
.Among the new Xihai people, most of the young and strong men are Han Chinese, but the women and children are all nomadic people.
The women and children of the nomadic people are indeed different from the Han people. They have also lived on horseback since childhood and are as good at riding and shooting as the men. However, except for occasionally participating in hunting, they never participate in wars and conflicts between tribes. Only men who are taller than a wheel can
Qualified to become tribal warriors. In fact, this is also a survival rule of nomads. The conflicts and wars between tribes almost never stop. Even if all the adult men of a tribe die in battle, as long as these women and children can still survive
, ten years later, the tribe can regain its strength. Of course, the premise is that the tribe will not be annexed by others.
There are more than 20,000 women and children in the city, and there are as many as 10,000 people who can draw a bow. It is impossible to let them fight against young men in the wilderness, but relying on the strong city walls, when the enemy does not have enough siege equipment,
, there is no problem in defending the city, at least we can hold on until the soldiers sent out rush back after hearing the news.
Doing so obviously goes against the thousands of years of tradition of the nomadic tribes. But this is a battle where the enemy is outnumbered, and they have no retreat. If they cannot defeat Murong Fuyun, the Xihai clan will have nowhere to hide. Even if they can survive in the end
If they come down, what awaits them is to become the slaves of others. In this case, if they continue to follow any ancient traditions, it is tantamount to seeking death. Everyone understood this truth, and after a brief silence, they nodded one after another.
.
This pre-war discussion started in the early morning and lasted until dusk. Even lunch was eaten in the hall. The reason why the discussion lasted for so long was so that everyone could express their opinions, work together, and consider all the details as clearly as possible. Of course.
, the battlefield situation was changing rapidly, and the generals' adaptability was also tested. It was not until the sun set that the eight captains each received their orders and went out. Tonight, Weiding City was destined to be unrest.
At this moment, Liu Ziqiu, Liu Yu, Jiang Yu, Zhao Ling and He Chou were left in the hall.
He Chou was very excited to have the opportunity to participate in such a discussion. Seeing that there was no arrangement for him, he volunteered and said: "My lord, I know how to make some city defense equipment, and I am willing to help."
Liu Ziqiu frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's too late to build the city defense equipment now."
He Chou patted his chest and said, "You can do something simpler first. It's also good for emergencies."
"That's fine, you can figure it out yourself." Liu Ziqiu nodded, waved and shouted, "Da Leng, come in, you send a few people to follow Mr. He and listen to Mr. He's command."
It was said to be a command, but in fact it was surveillance. He Chou knew it, but he had no choice but to follow Daleng out.
Liu Ziqiu added: "Liu Canjun, Jiang Canjun, the heavy responsibility of defending the city will fall on you."
Liu Yu chuckled and said: "Don't worry, with the two of us here, Murong Fuyun will never let Murong Fuyun step into Weiding City! However, my lord needs to be extremely careful during this expedition."
These days, he and Jiang Yu led the 200 veteran troops to explore the city and repaired all the places that needed repair and reinforcement. In addition, they now have 400 mobile soldiers.
In terms of military strength, these people are not all the remaining tribesmen of Meng Wu Zha. After the integration of the Xihai tribe, the two thousand-man nomadic cavalry teams also made adjustments and added some fresh forces. Some old and weak soldiers were eliminated and handed over to Liu Yu.
Their most important task was to select 10,000 women and children who could draw bows and shoot arrows and take turns to guard the city.
After everyone left, Liu Ziqiu asked: "Zhao Ling, how are those people doing?"
The people Liu Ziqiu mentioned were Jin Bo's eyes and ears in Weiding City. When Murong Kuaixing evacuated Weiding City because he looked down on Jin Bo's character, he left Jin Bo's family members and Han men behind. Jin Bo's wife and children
Later, they were kidnapped by Yu Wenjing. Those Han men were afraid of being implicated, so they hid. In order to hide their identities, they also opened several inns and wine shops as disguises. There were not even many residents in the city, so these inns and wine shops naturally
There was no business, but they were working enthusiastically, which attracted Zhao Ling's attention and sent someone to monitor them secretly. As expected, the problem was discovered.
Zhao Ling said proudly: "Every move they make is under the control of my subordinates. Whether they kill, capture or release them is all in the master's mind."
Liu Ziqiu pondered: "Tonight, the army is mobilizing frequently, which will definitely attract the attention of those people, but they cannot be allowed to leak the news, so as not to arouse Murong Fuyun's alert. But it is not convenient to touch them for the time being, maybe keep them.
There are also unexpected effects. Let's order a curfew first, and then allow them to move around after the army mobilization is completed tomorrow. But there is one thing, they are not allowed to approach the city wall, lest they find that the city is full of women and children guarding it."
…
Wen Hao dressed neatly and left the military camp, followed by several soldiers, driving a few ewes, carrying two loads of dried meat, and walked home. Among the eight captains, Wen Hao's mission was the most important, and even determined
Whether this plan can succeed? At the same time, his mission is also the most dangerous, because he is serving as a bait to lead the enemy's army into the ambush circle of Tuosu Lake. This trip can be said to be a narrow escape, and he wants to see Fan before leaving.
One side of pear blossom.
Although they lived under the same roof, Fan Lihua said a little more to him that time at the gate of the government office, and then she became cold again. No matter how attentive Wen Hao was, Fan Lihua never said a word to him again.
.
Arriving at the entrance of the small courtyard, Wen Hao suddenly hesitated, stamped his feet, and ordered: "You guys send your things in, I'm going back to the military camp!"
