Chapter 74 Only One Choice
Standing on the terrace, holding a glass of wine produced in Tai'an City, Tie Le was already slightly smoked.
Take a gentle sip and let the wine roll back and forth in your mouth. Every taste bud on your tongue fully feels the stimulation before swallowing it.
“Good wine, but it’s a pity that our Dayuan can’t make such good wine!” Tiele raised his glass to Lu He and Gro who were behind him, and Tiele felt regretful.
“I heard that it is extremely difficult to brew this nectar. It is fermented with pure grains and requires eight steamings and eight brews. Ten kilograms of grains can’t produce even one ounce of wine. It’s a very food-consuming thing!” Gro said, shaking his head. . "It doesn't hurt to try it once in a while."
Tiele laughed: "Gero, you don't need to beat around the bush to persuade me. You and I are called monarchs and ministers, and we are actually brothers. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."
Gero bowed slightly, that is He doesn't defend, but he doesn't refute either.
Ru He raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass, and said: "Your Highness, when the spring of next year begins, the Aquarius State will change its flag, and Linghu Ye will be terrified. In addition to running south, Is there any other way he can go?"
"Yes!" Tie Le said seriously: "He can surrender to me, the Great Yuan!"
The three of them laughed.
Of course Linghuye will not surrender to Beiyuan, and Dayuan does not need him to surrender. What Tiele has to do is to force Linghuye to return to the pass, and add another person to Daqin's already boiling pot. ladle of hot oil.
At that time, what else can Linghuye do besides rebel immediately?
You must know that over the years, his domineering and arrogant behavior has become a recognized fact in Da Qin. When he returned to the pass, he lost the base outside the pass and the stable logistics supplies. Those big officials in the Qin court Man, why don't you want to take this opportunity to deal with him?
Is Linghuye so stupid as he was obediently deprived of military power by the Qin Dynasty and returned home to retire?
Isn’t this giving your head to someone else to chop off?
Therefore, rebellion became an inevitable choice.
This is what Tiele wants to achieve most.
Want to surrender?
I don’t want it yet!
You must rebel!
If you have any difficulties, I can help you!
“Come on, let’s have a drink!” Tiele smiled and raised his glass: “After we take over this land, the city of Tai’an will still be in our pocket. It will be fine if they pay tribute!”
“Your Highness, there is Zhou Zhi in charge of Tai’an City!”
“So what?” Tiele sneered: “When the manpower will eventually be exhausted, I will. It’s not like the king has never seen innate masters. Others regard innate masters as gods, but I know that they are still human beings. An innate master who has no worries is scary, but an innate master who has worries and attachments is afraid. Why worry? It's just a matter of price. "
Nothing to say.
Dawn arrived with the melodious bells of Aquarius City. When the first bell rang, the gate of Aquarius City opened and teams poured out from inside.
In the middle of the team, Yan Sheng accompanied Tiele, chatting and laughing happily.
Aquarius City is only a hundred or so miles away from Mao'er Mountain. We drove faster and changed horses along the way. We set off in the early morning and arrived at noon.
Not only Tiele, but also Yan Sheng was also extremely interested in this wild wolf.
It is said that wild wolves have been harassing Aquarius State for several years, but no one has seen what this man looks like.
It's just that today Yan Sheng wants to chop off the head of the wild wolf to establish his authority, but Tie Le is thinking about whether he can recruit this wild wolf to surrender, so as to lay down a chess piece to check and balance Yan Sheng in Aquarius State in the future.
Of course, Tie Le didn't say a word now, letting Yan Sheng know his plan, and secretly sent someone to notify Yan Dong to launch an attack in advance. When he arrived at Mao'er Mountain, all he saw was wild wild animals. A wolf's head, that's not interesting.
Yan Xu's whole body was filled with steam, making him look hazy. He ran all the way back to Aquarius City, only to learn that Yan Sheng had already taken people to Mao'er Mountain, which made him even more anxious. , only told him to close the city gate immediately and mobilize fully to prepare for battle, then he changed another horse and chased Yan Sheng.
The Yan family has reached a critical stage of life and death. If you send the news to your brother as soon as possible, you will have more hope of turning the tide.
Hearing the gasping sound of the horse under his crotch, Yan Xu jumped up, jumped onto another empty horse on one side, and hit the horse's buttocks hard with his whip without mercy.
Faster, faster still.
Finally seeing the flag fluttering in front, Yan Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone in the rear team of the Yan family was shocked when they saw the second master running towards him looking extremely embarrassed.
Something big must have happened!
Everyone watched with some uneasiness as Yan Xu's horse rolled up a snow dragon and rushed towards the front team.
"Brother!"
Yan Xu shouted loudly.
The war horse finally could no longer hold on, its hooves gave way, and it fell to the ground.
Yan Xu pressed his hands on the horse's back, landed steadily on the ground, and then hurried towards Yan Sheng.
Looking back, Yan Sheng frowned and frowned. The second brother has always been calm, why is he so out of his mind now?
And it was still in front of Tiele.
“You are already so old and still so uncontrollable. The second master of the Yan family must have the attitude of not changing even if the mountain collapses in front of you!” Yan Sheng scolded.
Listening to Yan Sheng’s rebuke, Yan Xu’s tears were about to fall: “Brother, Xiao Changche, Xiao Changche’s army appeared in Aquarius State, and the scouts found out that they were heading straight Heading towards Mao'er Mountain!"
"What did you say?" Yan Sheng, who just said he wanted Mount Tai to collapse before him, changed his face in an instant, first turning white, then red. , then black, and finally white again.
"Xiao Changche, the three thousand cavalry of General Xiao Changche are advancing towards Mao'er Mountain. At this moment, at this moment, I'm afraid they are almost there!" Yan Xu's voice was trembling.
"Why did Xiao Changche appear?" Yan Sheng's voice was sharp, "What are our scouts and troops doing? An army of several thousand people has not received the news until now!"
"Brother, all our troops have been mobilized to surround the wild wolf. The speed of Xiao Changche's cavalry It was extremely fast, and after entering the country, there were no detours at all. We went straight to Mao'er Mountain!" Yan Xu said in a trembling voice: "The people we wanted to report were either killed by their scouts or fell behind. Behind them."
Tie Le looked back at Ruhe and Gro, both of whom had serious expressions.
The whole army of Xiao Changche was dispatched. Naturally, he was not here to reminisce with Yan Sheng, let alone to help Yan Sheng exterminate the stubborn bandits like the wild wolf. There is no doubt that that guy has evil intentions and is plotting to make a fortune. Pingzhou's intentions are obvious.
And go straight to Maoer Mountain!
This is interesting.
Xiao Changche is not a god. He can predict the future. He already knew that the Yan family army was going to Mao'er Mountain to encircle and suppress the wild wolves?
"Your Highness, I'm afraid that this wild wolf has an inseparable relationship with Xiao Changche. Maybe this wild wolf was sent out by Xiao Changche for this battle." Gro said in a low voice. .
"Impossible!" Yan Sheng said sternly: "The wild wolf appeared five years ago. At that time, Xiao Changche had not yet risen!"
Xiao Changche emerged from the battle with Astu, the Zuoxian King of the Northern Yuan Dynasty three years ago. Before that, he could only be regarded as a junior in front of Yan Sheng.
"If Ye Lang were not Xiao Changche's subordinate, I'm afraid the situation would be more serious!" Tie Le took a deep breath: "That means that another force has also joined. Come in and join forces with Xiao Changche to deal with you."
"Li Dachui!" Lu He said suddenly. "Li Dachui is the most powerful among the horse bandits outside the pass, and he and Xiao Changche fought together three years ago."
Hearing this, Yan Sheng and Yan Xu both lost their countenance.
Three years ago, Li Dachui had fought hard against the Wutu army and snatched away tens of thousands of young men alive from the hands of the Wutu tiger.
Although Wutu was anxious to rescue Zuoxian King Astu at that time, Li Dachui's strength should not be underestimated.
"The wild wolves are bait. Their purpose is to gather your Yan family army together and then wipe them out in one go!" Tiele said: "What a powerful plan."
"At this moment In Mao'er Mountain, our Yan family's army has more than 20,000 men, and Xiao Changche wants to swallow it with just 3,000 cavalry?" Yan Sheng said angrily.
No one around spoke.
There are differences between people, and there are naturally differences between armies.
Moreover, the gap between armies is much greater than the gap between people.
Can't Xiao Changche's three thousand cavalry defeat the Yan family's twenty thousand men?
This is not necessarily the case.
"I'm afraid it's not just Xiao Changche's three thousand cavalry! What if that wild wolf is Li Dachui's subordinate? What if Li Dachui's Third Battalion of Heaven, Earth and Humanity also appeared in Mao'er Mountain?" Yan Xu's voice continued. He was shaking, even his body was shaking, and a feeling that something bad was going on lingered in his heart.
"Your Highness, I want to go to Mao'er Mountain for rescue!" Yan Sheng glanced at Tiele and said.
Yan Sheng went out this time with a thousand cavalry, which was naturally his strength.
"Prince Yan, with all due respect, I'm afraid it's too late!" Tie Le said: "In my opinion, Governor Yan should return to Aquarius City immediately, prepare for war and hold on, while sending people to Zhenwu City to order Marshal Hu asks for help! If so, there may be a chance of recovery. "
"If I don't go, I'm afraid the severe winter at the foot of Mao'er Mountain will cause it to collapse."
"If you go, you might be a moth to the flame." Tie Le said unceremoniously: "If you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. At the moment, I can't save the fire from far away, but Linghu Ye can still To save you, as long as you can hold on to Aoping City, Linghuye can't possibly watch Xiao Changche swallow up your Aoping State, and at this moment, Linghuye's people might already be there with someone. On the way to Aquarius City. But if you don't hold Aquarius City, what will happen if they come and face the reality that the situation is over?"
Yan Sheng thought for a moment and shook his head. Shaking his head: "If my army is really defeated, I will not be able to defend Aquarius State. Your Highness, by that time, I will have no value in front of you, right? I have to go, I believe that my son, I will definitely be able to withstand the other party!”
"Yan Jishi, you only have one chance to make a choice. If you make the wrong choice, there will be nothing!" Tiele still wanted to redeem himself.
"There is only one option before me, there is no second one!" Yan Sheng's attitude was extremely determined.
