Saheqirte lay fully clothed on the bed in the tent, tossing and turning but could not fall asleep.
It’s not that we drank too much. In fact, everyone didn’t drink much tonight, we just had a good time. Mainly because of what the Emperor of Song said in the big tent in the afternoon and the scene that happened in the evening, Sahe Qilte stayed up all night
Hard to sleep.
When the Zhuque Army saw the Emperor of Song, they stood up involuntarily without anyone conveying their orders.
Sahe Qilte knew that this was because the people of the Suzaku Army had obeyed His Majesty the Emperor's orders engraved in their bones. In their minds, His Majesty the Emperor was the Immortal Heaven.
Only in this way will you react like that subconsciously.
I heard that the Suzaku Army was an ordinary herdsman in the Hehuang, Xihai, and Qingtang areas in the south a few years ago. Among them were Dangxiang people, Qiang people, Tuguhun people, and Uighurs... I must have been just like my tribe before.
It's a plate of loose sand.
But since they surrendered to the Emperor of Song, they have been forged into an army with strict discipline and bravery in combat. The discipline is strict, as we saw at last night's dinner.
If you are not brave in battle, you will not be able to capture the three strongest tribes, namely Kled, Tubewu and Albati, in a short period of time, just like the cold wind sweeping away autumn leaves.
middle.
What is especially unforgettable for Saheqirte is that Yan Wanshi, who was previously a manu of the Dhalandaba tribe under the Albati tribe, has now become one of the 100 trial households because of the capture of Huerza Husi.
He also received the extremely honorable courtesy of a helmet toast.
Sahe Qierte could see that although Yan Wanshi choked on his drink, the three thousand households in the newly established Xuanwu Banner all had bright eyes.
They all saw hope.
After contacting him yesterday, Sahe Qierte had a deep understanding of the Emperor of Song's methods, which made him deeply fearful.
At the banquet last night, he took the opportunity to secretly discuss with Qu Ke, Atu'er and Oruan Dong Helie. The matter of deciding to submit was not out of the question. He just needed to discuss the price and whether the conditions could be mentioned again.
For example, leaving part of the tribe as direct subordinates, fixing a piece of pasture as fiefdom...
Who would have thought that after that, the Emperor of Song would never mention this matter. Even if he found a reason to mention it, he would find an excuse to avoid it.
What was the emperor of Song's mind? This made Sahe Qierte feel uneasy.
Suddenly someone called his name outside the tent. Saheqirte was startled. He quickly got up, took several steps at a time, and raised the tent curtain.
Brutaire was waiting at the door, looking a little nervous.
"The great leader of Sahe Qier, His Majesty the Emperor summons."
Saheqirt looked up at the sky. The moon was setting in the west, and the night in the east was getting thinner. It seemed that it was past midnight and it was early morning.
"His Majesty the Emperor called, so late... so early, is there anything urgent?"
Brutaire forced a smile and replied: "His Majesty the Emperor summoned the three chiefs, and now I have to wake up the two chiefs Qu Keba Atu'er and Oruan Dong Helie."
Saheqirt looked at his face in the half-dark night and knew that he probably wouldn't tell her, so it was better to go directly to the king's tent.
Qu Ke put Atu'er and Oruan Dong Helie in the tent next door. After being woken up one by one, Qu Ke and Sahe Qierte followed Brottaire uneasily into the king's tent.
There were people standing inside, all wearing armor and carrying steel knives at their waists, and they were full of murderous intent. When they saw the three Sahe Qierte people walking in, they all turned around and stared at them.
The gazes projected by those pairs of eyes were fixed on him, and Saheqirte felt as if he had fallen into a pack of wolves.
Zhao Si was also wearing armor. When he saw Sahe Qierte and the other two people walking in, he said with a smile: "I just received the news that my actions to clean up the Kled tribes and reorganize the order in Mobei were known to the Tatar people.
.They are gathering their troops and preparing to attack Hara and Linhe. They are truly the loyal lackeys of the Khitan people on the grasslands!"
Saheqierte and Quke made Atuer and Oruan Donghelie look at each other.
Although the Kerei and Tatar people are both Tatars and are collectively called Zubu people by the Khitan people, they have a deadly feud with each other.
The Klei tribe has its spies near the Tatar people. In the same way, the Tatar people also have their eyes and ears near the Klei tribe, keeping an eye on each other. Now that the Klei tribe is making such a big fuss, the Tatar tribe is thousands of miles away in the southeast.
How could I not know what was going on?
From Hara and Linhe, riding a fast horse, day and night, riding for seven sunrises and sunsets, you can reach the territory of the Tatar people. It has been half a month since the Emperor of Song Dynasty raided the headquarters of Klei, and the Tatar people are sure
Already received the message.
But how did the Emperor of the Song Dynasty know that the Tatar people had received the news and that they were preparing to attack westward? The clever Sahe Qiert thought of a key question.
After turning his mind countless times, Saheqirte came up with two conclusions.
First of all, the Emperor of Song Dynasty knew the situation of various forces on the grassland very well.
I thought of the tea, spirits, spices, silk, gold, silver, jade and other goods from the Song Dynasty that were sold all over Mobei and became popular, as well as the Song Dynasty caravans that suddenly appeared in recent years and traveled to large and small tribes, Saheqirte
I understand clearly in my heart.
Secondly, although the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was a foreign wolf king, he had already prepared. In addition to knowing the situation of the various forces in the grassland, he also made plans early. After the Kelie tribe, there should be the Tatar tribe.
That's why he sent out agents to monitor the movements of the Tatar people while attacking the Kelie tribe. If there was any movement there, he would immediately receive a notification.
At this time, Saheqirte felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
Zhao Si nodded and pointed with his hand, signaling Sahe Qierte and the other three to wait aside and continue giving orders.
"Gao Shixuan, you, Zhao Long, Tan Shiji, Li Gang and others will temporarily guard the base camp... Hu Luxiong, Zhe Yanzhi, and Yang Zongmin will lead 20,000 cavalry and follow me. Xu Guangliang is in charge, and Zhang Shiyun is the deputy, commanding the Xuanwu Banner.
Three thousand soldiers and horses accompanied the expedition...Wang Shunchen led 10,000 cavalry as the vanguard and set out yesterday..."
After finishing the arrangement, Zhao Si turned to the three Sahe Qilte people and said sincerely: "I invite three great leaders, each leading his own troops, to accompany me to attack the Tatar people."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the people in the king's tent turned around and stared at Sahe Qierte and the other three, making the three of them feel chills running down their backs.
Under this situation, do we dare to say no?
It just so happens that we also want to see in actual combat how powerful the so-called Suzaku Army of the Song Dynasty is. Did it rely on luck or strength to defeat the Kele headquarters, Tubewuti, and Albati.
Saheqierte and Quke exchanged glances with Atuer, Oluan and Dong Helie in the air, and each nodded secretly.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, the Tatars are our mortal enemies. When we resisted the Khitans, many of our three tribes were killed and wounded by the Tatars. We have old and new grudges. We are willing to follow His Majesty the Emperor on an expedition to defeat the Tatars.
.”
"Okay! Send the order, all the troops have breakfast, prepare their luggage, form their own formations, and set off at dawn." Zhao Si ordered, then pointed to Bo Ji Changkong and Yan Wanshi in the corner and said: "These two are mine
Attendant, I am now trying to test hundreds of households. Your three troops have not been trained by our army, and you do not know military orders and tactics, so I will send two of them to you as liaison officers..."
Yan Wanshi looked indifferent, but Boji Changkong was a little angry, but he was still able to respond calmly: "Here!"
It's not yet dawn, and Saheqirte is urging his troops to pack up and prepare to set off. Only the sound of bugles is heard, and a vertical flag with two lines of large characters is being held by someone, and the horse is riding forward quickly, passing by
Here, the cavalry mounted their horses and formed teams.
Soon, it was dawn.
Hundreds of horns sounded, and amid the powerful sound, 20,000 cavalrymen ran out from their respective stations.
Each of them had two horses, and some had three horses. Tens of thousands of horses were galloping along the banks of the Haraholin River. The sound of horse hooves filled the world, like the thunder of spring, dominating everything.
While running, the 20,000 cavalrymen running out from all over were like hundreds of streams merging into the river, unknowingly forming two roads on the left and right. Just a moment ago, the people and horses were all over the mountains and plains, but within a quarter of an hour, they became
He caught two red dragons and began to roll forward.
"Chief Sahe Qier, it's time for us to set off. We are the third team of left defenders and we have to catch up quickly, otherwise we will be delayed and subject to military law." Boji Changkong urged from the side.
Sahe Qilte took a deep breath to calm down the shock in his heart, and shouted in a deep voice: "Let's go!" This chapter has been completed!
