Chapter 448 The girl in Dabancheng has long braids
The girl from Dabancheng has long braids! Her eyes are so beautiful.
This Uyghur folk song compiled by Wang Luobin is well-known to every household, especially the line "Bring your dowry, bring your sister, and come in that carriage." Zhang Zhao was fascinated by it for a long time before traveling.
Is there such a good thing?
However, when Zhang Zhao saw this Dabancheng City, which was also called Baishui Military City, he felt a chill in his heart.
Where Baishui Military City is located, the terrain is high in the north and low in the south. The west is open, but the east is like the mouth of a bottle.
The northwest wind blew, turning up the loess on the ground and flying. Baishui Military City was built at the bottle mouth of this canyon.
There were not many trees around, but they had been cut down long ago, and there were not even many bushes.
Moreover, the terrain in front of the pass is wide and open. From the pass, you can have a panoramic view of the surrounding situation, and there is no possibility of a surprise attack at all.
Although the wall of the military city is not high, it is built at the mouth of the valley on a high terrain, and there are five or six forts around it that are at an angle to the military city.
It can be regarded as the most difficult level to attack by Zhang Zhao in all the years he has sent troops.
The key thing is that Jieli Pika is much smarter than Zhang Zhao thought.
Zhang Zhao originally thought that this guy was a fool for letting Saktu bring disaster to Tingzhou, but now he realized that he was not.
Jieli Pika is not stupid, but vicious!
He gave Tingzhou to Saktu in the hope that Saktu would become his human shield.
If Zhang Zhao comes across Fusha, he will definitely bump into Saktu, and then Jielipijia will be able to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
But he didn't expect that Saktu had already been shadowed by Zhang Zhao, and he would rather lose tens of thousands of people than have sex with Zhang Zhao.
However, since he had such thoughts, Jielibiga would confine Saktu to Tingzhou and prevent him from entering Gaochang.
So Baishui Military City is the key to Jielipijia's restriction of Saktu.
Zhang Xibao and several Hengshan Party infantrymen who were good at mountain climbing slipped back from a distance. Of course, Zhang Zhao would also recruit some of these elite mountain infantrymen.
"King of Heaven, the nearby mountains are steep and dangerous. If only a few hundred people can pass without wearing armor, it may be possible, but the army will certainly not be able to pass!" Zhang Xibao shook his head and said decisively.
Li Xiaojie also came back at this time. He was dressed as a businessman and he also shook his head at Zhang Zhao.
"It is true that Zhai Guozhong and the governor of Tingzhou said that under twenty Uighurs from Tingzhou can cross, but not a single Geluolu from Saktu is allowed to cross."
Zhang Zhao thought about it in silence for a while. There were about 2,000 defenders in Baishui Army City. The number was not very large, but the terrain was too dangerous.
If the army wants to fight, it can only fight in an upright manner, and there are no trees nearby that can be cut down to make siege weapons. If it wants to fight, it can only attack the city with ants, which is completely costing human lives!
"Perhaps we can order Pu Guluo, the governor of Tingzhou, to write to Jieli Bijia, saying that Saktu is poisoning Tingzhou and asking Jieli Bijia to allow him to lead Tingzhou's army back to Gaochang."
Murong Nobunaga suggested on the side that this guy has taken a liking to Puguluo's two daughters, so of course he must fight for Puguluo.
Let's see if we can make some contribution, otherwise it will seem a bit useless.
Zhang Zhao thought for a moment and shook his head, "Feng Hui led his army to hold firm in Puchang. We don't have the time to wait for Jie Lipijia's reply.
And if Jialipika doesn’t agree, it will be a waste of time.”
However, Zhang Zhao had no other solution. "Slaughter the horses and sheep and feed the soldiers. Tomorrow, let Zhai Guozhong's Geluolu and Puguluo's Tingzhou Uighurs be the vanguard and attack the city with ants."
All members of the Fenjin team were dispatched, using all the divine fire mines they carried, and directly blew up the gate of Baishui Military City for me."
All the generals nodded when they heard this. This is indeed the only way at present.
Although this method of taking human lives and blowing up the city gates will not take down Baishui Military City for seven or eight days, it is still much better than doing nothing.
....
On the Baishui Army City, the guard was Zhang Zhao's old acquaintance, Di Luo Da's steadfast servant.
As a close branch of the Pugu family, after Jielipika killed all his brothers, Pugucheng actually became the closest blood relative to Jielipika.
Therefore, the task of guarding Baishui Military City fell on Pugu Cheng.
Although he is not very capable, he is a clan member of the Gaochang Uighurs and will never be bribed by Saktu.
This is indeed the case. Even after receiving the decree from Jielibijia asking him to let Saktu enter Gaochang, Pu Gucheng repeatedly confirmed the authenticity of the decree, but he was still unwilling to implement it.
The generals around him also surrounded Pu Gucheng, "Dagan, you know what Tingzhou has become. Saktu is ambitious. If he enters Gaochang, can we still live a good life?"
For Jielibijia, his only appeal was to defeat Zhang Zhao and keep the country and the throne.
For this reason, even if Saktu was released to Gaochang, it would only be a hardship for the people below, and he didn't even want to bear the name.
But for Pu Gucheng and other mid-level and low-level military generals in Gaochang, it was a big disaster.
Thirty thousand Geluolu people from Saktu entered Gaochang and did not dare to rob the king, prime ministers, generals, etc., but would they still be soft-hearted when plundering people like them who had a little family property?
Jielibijia had long thought about this possibility, so the envoy he sent was a close minister around him.
These guys were running amok on weekdays, but they didn't care about the objections of the generals. He glared at Pu Gucheng and shouted angrily.
"Does Dagan want to disobey the king's decree?"
It only took such a light word to make Pugu Cheng wilt. Thinking of Jie Lipijia's ruthless methods on weekdays, he immediately gave in.
"In compliance with the order of the King of Heaven, I will send someone to Tingzhou immediately."
What does happiness come from heaven mean?
This is the joy that comes from heaven.
I was already prepared to fill it with human lives and gunpowder, but I was actually invited by Jieli Pika personally just when I was about to set off.
That...
That King Zhang was disrespectful!
The envoy from Baishui Military City had been detained, and he, Pu Guluo, the governor of Tingzhou, and Zhai Guozhong, the son of Zhai Guozhong, were brought to Zhang Zhao.
Pu Guluo, the governor of Tingzhou, originally did not need a large reward to encourage him, because after Jielibijia released Saktu to Tingzhou, his whole family, from wives and concubines to daughters to sisters-in-law, sisters, and nieces, were all assigned by Saktu to his subordinates.
People.
Up to now, there are still several people who are still alive and dead, and they have long been eager to eat the meat of Jialipika.
But in order to be safe, Zhang Zhao promised to appoint him as the governor of Yanqi after he captured Gaochang. Yanqi was much richer and safer than Tingzhou.
Hatred can certainly be exploited, but power, status, and wealth can even make people die.
"I have been a servant of the King of Heaven for a long time. I think day and night about how to cut this thief Jie Libijia into pieces with a thousand knives. Please don't worry, King of Heaven!"
"After taking Baishui Military City and defeating Jieli Pijia, Zhai Guozhong, you will also have a future as the governor of a state."
Zhai Guozhong hurriedly knelt on the ground with a bang, "My lord, thank God for the reward from Khan."
Zhang Zhao turned his head and looked at the captured leader of the envoy. He was the key figure in deceiving Pugu Cheng.
"After the matter is completed, I will ensure that your family is safe and give you five hundred sheep, which will be given to a piece of pasture on the edge of Hezhou."
Jiaohe Prefecture is right on the edge of Gaochang City. It has many rivers and abundant water and grass. It is definitely a very good pasture.
Under Zhang Zhao's gaze, the leader of the messenger slowly lowered his head, and finally knelt down on the ground.
"I am willing to listen to what the King of Heaven sends!"
....
At the top of Baishui Military City, Pu Gucheng looked at the endless army in the distance with complicated emotions, covering the entire canyon.
After a while, Pu Guluo, the governor of Tingzhou, the vanguard general of the Geluolu people, and his trusted followers came.
It's just that Pugu Cheng invited Pugu Luo to the top of the city, verified his identity, and prepared to open the door to let the army go, but he was a little confused.
Because according to the information he received, Puguluo's family had been occupied by Saktu, so why did he act like a normal person at this time? He was even talking and laughing with a Guluolu general.
Moreover, Pugu Cheng quietly pulled Pugu Luo aside and asked doubtfully.
"The army at Guanxia is very orderly, the horses are tall and strong, and the power of the Geluolu army is so great, has it reached this point?"
Puguluo sighed inaudibly, and then shook his head.
"Of course it's impossible. The land of Seven Rivers is extremely bitter and cold. We in Gaochang can't afford to support so many bear and tiger warriors. How can Saktu afford to support them?"
Pugu Cheng was a little alert. He quietly took a small step back and looked at Pugu Luo with some surprise.
"If they are not from Bugrahan Saktu, then who are they?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Pu Gucheng suddenly felt something cold pressing on his lower back, and there was also a vague stinging sensation.
Before he could turn around, the person behind him spoke. It was the confidant he sent to deliver the message.
"Don't blame Da Gan, I was forced to do nothing."
Pugu trembled like chaff in a sieve. He suddenly understood that the only person who could bribe Pugu Luo, his confidants, and the Ge Luo Lu people was Zhang Zhao, who almost hacked him to death in the ancient city of Loulan ten years ago.
King Zhang!
"Dagan is an old acquaintance of the Heavenly King. I can win the Heavenly King Xu Yizhou's governor. Why don't you, my servant Gucheng, hurry out of the city to pay homage to the new master?
Are you really going to be satisfied if you really have to let that fake Khan Pugugunde give your daughter to a beast like Saktu?"
Pugu Cunde was the name Jielipijia was before he became the Khan of Gaochang.
Jieli is taking advantage of the Ashina family, and Pika is a common honorific title for Uighur and Turkic Khans.
Therefore, the original meaning of Jieli Pika is the noble leader Jieli, not his real name.
Hearing Puguluo say this, and looking at Puguluo's miserable condition and the sharp knife pressed against his back, Pugucheng nodded heavily.
"I will open the door right now and kneel down to welcome the King of Heaven to enter!"
