"Hang your head! Send him to his dead son quickly to put down the rebellion!" Urhan said hurriedly. Someone immediately stepped forward, cut off the king's head, and flew down the mountain.
The caravan at the foot of the mountain is still staying in the mountain, and it is getting dark. Since there is no danger, we decided to stay one more day and set off tomorrow morning. According to the caravan, they were lucky enough to get here before the rebellion.
Thousands of people are still stranded in Kangche Country, and they are said to wait until the war subsides before being released. The only time of year when trade can be carried out is in the summer months. If it goes on for a long time, everyone may lose everything.
During Li Jichen's journey up the mountain, only about 20 of the hundred Kangche soldiers who stayed behind in the Tianshan faction died, and most of the rest were just acupuncture points. Now most people know that their king is a traitor who has usurped the throne.
Tian Bing interrogated the eight royal guards, and one person confessed the current situation in Kangche's country: King Kangche killed his father to usurp the throne, which aroused the suspicion of the royal family. The sending of troops to help King Hai's rebellion even aroused public outrage. Several powerful royal family members secretly secretly
He was also imprisoned for investigation. Now the young prince oversees the country, and the queen from the Zhou Dynasty is the one who really controls the government.
The interrogation went very smoothly, because the eight guards on the top of the mountain only had their acupuncture points tapped. They all heard the king's statement about how he lured a wolf into the house, killed his father and usurped the throne. Three of them shouted that they would surrender to Qi and Tu Yuhun to avenge the late king. After the interrogation, then
The eight people were composed of three factions, three were old servants of the former king who were unaware of the situation; three were apprentices and confidants of the new king; and the other two were guards brought by the queen from the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Three old servants of the late king actually proposed to fight to the death with the other five. Seeing that Li Jichen refused, they said they were willing to lead the Qi and Tuyuhun troops back to Kangche King City to rescue the late king's younger brother Botuo. He was the leader of the old servants and would definitely overthrow the king.
The Queen's Reign.
He Qizhou asked about the location and strength of the royal city. The guards knew this very well and said that the royal city was six hundred miles away, a two-day journey. There were currently a garrison of 5,000 people under the control of the queen, and their combat power was not very high.
It's too strong, as long as Qi State sends three to five thousand people, it will definitely succeed!
Seeing that He Qizhou was very excited, Urhan smiled bitterly and said: "We only have three hundred horses, and we have a few percent chance of winning. It seems not worth it to spend two days and two nights to run there. We might as well stay here, maybe we can win."
Block the retreating rebels."
He Qizhou said: "Think about it, everyone, our troops entering Tuyuhun are not dominant. We have more than 30,000 cavalry at most. The rebels must be more than this number. If we help that person from Kangche State get into power, the new king orders them to borrow
If the 10,000 cavalry sent out withdraw from the battle, or even fight back, King Haijun must not be defeated immediately? In addition, after taking control of Kangche Kingdom, Helian Changji and Chi Yan will not be able to escape easily, they are also the culprits!"
"That would be great. You can mix among my people, sneak into the palace quietly, directly restrain the queen, and then rescue Prince Bert and take control of the military." Among the three surrendered royal guards, the leader named Haji immediately advised
.
"I think it's feasible. Are there any other experts in your palace?" He Qizhou asked.
"The palace guards are all with four-line or higher combat power like me. There are sixty of them in total. Ten of them were taken away by the king, the traitor, and there are three hundred ordinary guards," said the surrendering guard.
"By the way, I think those Hu people are quite powerful. If we join forces with the Hu merchants in the city, the chance of winning will be better." He Qizhou said.
"Are they willing? These people only have interests in their eyes!" Urna said.
"We have overthrown the rebellion, and those barbarians can do business normally. If we fail, maybe the woman will steal their goods and flee to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Let me give it a try!" He Qizhou said.
"If the caravan can send out 300 people, plus our 300 cavalry, and we can make a surprise, and we cooperate with the Hu merchants in the city, we should have a good chance of winning." Xu Mu was a little ready to make a move.
"Okay, let He Qizhou ask. Regardless of whether Hu Shang agrees or not, we will still act. Even if we can't help that so-and-so take off his position, we still want to let the people in the city know how Lao Wang died!" Urhan said.
He Qizhou said to Urhan: "By the way, you'd better send someone with a few Kangche soldiers to find a way to find the main force of the rebels and let them report that the rebel king is dead; if they find our people, tell them
We have managed to control Kangche Country."
"Okay! The person who sent the person's head has left. I'll send a few more people." Urhan turned to the surrendering guard and said: "Hey, Haji, you go find three trustworthy subordinates and find a way to find them."
What kind of general of yours, let him take advantage of his merits! Counterattack."
"Okay, right away!" Haji nodded like garlic.
"Master, why don't you stay here?" Xu Mu said, among thousands of troops, even those in the wind control realm may not be able to save their lives.
"How can this be done? I'll accompany you guys to have some fun." Li Jichen said with a smile.
After Haji's organization, more than fifty Kangche soldiers who were intact in the mountains were willing to join the team;
The leader of the Hu merchants was a Persian named Shadadi. After negotiating with others for a long time, he finally gave He Qizhou a reply. They would leave a hundred people here to look at the goods and four hundred people to go to Kangche King City. Time for discussion
It was relatively long, mainly deciding who would stay and who would go to Kangche King City. I felt that these barbarians were more eager to overthrow the queen and open trade routes as soon as possible;
Urhan left thirty cavalrymen and ten senior military officers to garrison the Tianshan faction, and nearly seven hundred cavalrymen marched towards Kangchewangcheng.
…
Five hundred miles west of the vast sea-like Qinghai Lake, there is a vast expanse of barren alpine wasteland. It has been the place where the western part of the sea has thrived for generations, and now it is facing the most severe threat! After two days and two nights of rapid march, Ruocha and Ruo Cha finally succeeded.
Kang Che's coalition forces rushed back to the tribe one step ahead of Li Ruogu, which is a huge valley in the plateau and a summer pasture in the west of the sea. It has a radius of more than 200 miles. As long as they guard the high mountain passes in the north and south, the enemy cannot enter.
pasture.
In order to attack Xining, Ruocha almost depleted all the warriors in the tribe. Only four to five thousand old and weak people were left in the camp. There were also 200,000 herdsmen there. Almost all the subjects under King Haijun were in this pasture, so regardless of
Why don't you dare to let Li Ruogu attack? If the other party captures the camp and defends according to the danger, then you will be completely doomed.
The 40,000-strong army arrived at the North Pass two hours earlier than Li Ruogu's army from the west. Both sides were exhausted. Unable to resist Chi Yan's repeated urging, Prince Hai made up his mind to eliminate Li Ruogu first with twice as many troops.
The 20,000 cavalrymen turned around to deal with the Ganzhou cavalry, which was already hundreds of miles behind.
After the first battle, Ruocha completely lost his confidence. Although they were all exhausted, his coalition forces had just sharpened their strength in Xining, and the Kangche people were unwilling to fight to the death. On the other hand, Li Ruogu's elite troops had high morale, and everyone had high hopes.
Angry, everyone risked their lives and fought bravely to take the lead. After fighting for half an hour, they did not lose at all, and they had the tendency to win with less. In the east, Qi's reinforcements were approaching step by step. Zha Ruo could only withdraw his troops and hurriedly retreated.
After leaving more than two thousand corpses at the pass, they took advantage of the danger and defended themselves.
The army led by Zhang Zhiren had a variety of war horses. In order to prevent the team from being scattered, they did not dare to advance rashly, so the distance from the enemy became farther and farther away. It was not until two hours after the war that they arrived at the battlefield to join Li Ruogu. Located on a plateau,
Many Ganzhou soldiers had been feeling unwell in the past few days, so the two decided to camp down first and establish food routes to allow the Qi army to recover and wait for the infantry to follow up before attacking.
…
Urhan had already changed into the uniform of an ordinary soldier of the Kangche Kingdom. He followed Haji, who was bent on avenging the late king, and walked five miles ahead of the team. Haji said that the Tianshan sentry had set up two outposts on the road to the royal city, and they would be there in case of emergency.
Report, and report once a day if nothing happened. The two men rushed forward and asked the outpost to send people to the royal city to report that it was safe, so as to paralyze the defenders of the royal city.
Urhan knew Kangche language, so he was not afraid of Haji's deception. After the post he passed by on the first day sent someone to report the letter, the people behind him picked it up. The same was true on the second day, when he passed by the post at noon.
, Haji sent people to the royal city to report that they were safe. This time, without waiting for the rear team to arrive, Urhan and Haji worked together to restrain the remaining six people at the outpost.
Haji is familiar with the royal city and palace, and the action plan is basically based on Haji’s ideas. The general idea is as follows:
Seven hundred cavalrymen composed of Qi State, Tu Yuhun, and Hu Shang ambush in the river valley thirty miles outside the royal city;
Haji entered the city with a dozen "Hu merchants" who were clamoring to go home. Of course, they were all masters;
At midnight, Haji led these experts and Hu merchants in the city to control the relatively weak south gate;
Seven hundred cavalry set out from the valley half an hour in advance. After the fire signal, they rushed directly into the south gate and rushed straight to the palace;
At this time, Haji should have tricked the south gate of the palace into opening. The prison where Prince Bert was imprisoned is also next to the south gate of the royal city. About 200 troops can be divided to attack the prison and rescue the prince;
In the end, the queen was captured alive, forced to give up her throne, and gained military power...
The entire route from the Tianshan Sect to King Kangche City was almost desert. The further we walked, the more desolate we became. Occasionally, we saw dead camels on the roadside, with no trace of flesh and blood on their pale skeletons. He Qizhou was tired of the desert scenery, so he just observed the camels when he had nothing to do.
The Kangche soldiers were preparing to rebel. Because they did not completely trust each other, Urhan let the fifty riders walk in the middle of the cavalry.
Along the way, these people looked neat and tidy, sitting upright on their horses, almost silent. Their appearance was completely different from what they saw in the mountains. The cavalry guarding the king was indeed outstanding.
Because Kangche State blocked the business travelers, no one or horse was encountered during the nearly 600 miles. The large group of people was finally led into a dry river. This place was 30 miles away from the royal city, and there were still trees on the sandbank not far to the west.
There is a small village, so if you don't want to be discovered, this is the best place to hide.
Following Haji and walking on the riverbed beside the road, He Qizhou really admired the power of nature. Although he was gradually going up, he felt like he was walking deep underground. This illusion was caused by the fact that the cliffs beside the river were getting higher and higher.
, after walking for three or four miles in a winding way, I looked up and saw that the top of the almost vertical canyon was already five or sixty feet above.
