Chapter 229: Only the decisive battle
It is not surprising that a team was ambushed and eliminated.
Two or three teams were ambushed one after another, which can be explained by the fact that the commanders were stupid pigs and did not know how to learn the previous lessons.
But seven or eight teams in a row were beaten to death by the enemy, and one after another they were killed by their opponents so that even the people who reported the news could not escape.
This is too abnormal. .
Zhebie has been fighting for a lifetime, and of course he knows that such a thing can only mean one problem, that is, the enemy knows his actions well.
That’s why I arranged it in advance and waited for my troops to arrive one by one.
"There is a traitor!" Jebe's lips turned white with anger, "National affairs are like child's play in the eyes of these people. I will kill them."
Looking at When Zhebie was on the verge of going berserk, Qin Gong grabbed him.
"Commander, there is no evidence! Because of the food requisition, southern Xinjiang has already been full of complaints against the commander. Coupled with the Yeboar Ridge incident, the entire public opinion is already very unfavorable to you. At this time, there is no If the evidence is not used against Lenge and the others, it will trigger a military uprising and a civilian uprising!”
Zhebie sat down, breathing heavily and clenching his fists.
Even a ninth-grade martial artist with a peak level of martial arts cultivation is helpless in the face of such a thing.
The Yeboar Ridge incident that Qin Gong mentioned was the money, weapons, armor, etc. that Zhebie provided to the other party based on the agreement reached with Li Guohua. Under the propaganda of some thoughtful people, this was the commander-in-chief of Southern Xinjiang. Zhebie used money to make a deal with the Qin army to buy victory. It is to use the people's anointing of the people in southern Xinjiang to make peace with the enemy.
This incident was combined with the previous extortionate expropriation by Lengge and others in southern Xinjiang. Not long after he took office, he did not even have the reputation of sitting on the hot seat, and he immediately became a bad person on the street.
Those things like extortion, robbery, and looting were done by Lengge.
But Lengge has been in southern Xinjiang for so many years. He used to be a good official who was considerate of the people's sentiments. How come he has now become a villain who does all kinds of evil?
Of course I was forced to do so by this rotten guy Zhebie.
Zhebie may be invincible on the battlefield, but faced with such a complicated situation in front of him, he was at a loss for a moment and didn't know how to face it.
After all, Longgou Fort was almost bought with money, and he did reach an agreement with the Anton Protectorate.
Rumors that can really deceive people are actually nine percent true and one percent false.
The various preconditions presented to the general public are all conclusive facts, but the most critical point is completely different from the facts.
But the common people do not have the time or the resources to distinguish whether the whole thing is true or false. They have their own simplest and simplest understanding.
Smart setters will always use this to guide public opinion.
"Commander, the only way to turn the situation around now is to win a hearty victory on the battlefield!" Qin Gong said: "There is no need to send a small group of troops to die, I'm afraid they will still Without leaving the barracks, this information was sent to the other side. After all, Southern Xinjiang has been run by His Highness for many years. It is impossible for us to compete with him for the hearts of the people in a short period of time, but victory is enough to cover up all the things that are not good for us. . The winner will not be blamed!"
Zhebie nodded: "The main force will attack and go straight to Tai'an City"
Although the headquarters of the Anxi Protectorate is now located in Aquarius City, Zhebie believes that the actual center of their rule should still be in Tai'an City. Tai'an is the heart of the entire Anxi Protectorate.
After taking Tai'an City, I can pinch the heart of the Anxi Protectorate, and then I can do whatever I want.
Zhebie is a true activist.
Once you make up your mind, there will be no more hesitation.
Three days later, 30,000 cavalrymen came out of Longgou Fort. Each of the soldiers carried ten days of dry food. Under the leadership of Zhebe, they headed straight for Tai'an City.
There were originally more than 200,000 people under the rule of Tai'an City, but only more than 50,000 people lived in Tai'an City, and the rest were scattered around Tai'an City.
The people around Tai'an City are also the richest people outside the customs.
Another purpose of Zhebie going straight to Tai'an City was to force Xiao Changche and Li Dachui to have a decisive battle with him.
If they hide in Tibet or huddle in the city, then they will burn the surrounding areas of Tai'an City to a white ground and kill everyone in sight. Let's see who can't bear this in the end. cost.
The decisive battle is also what Xiao Changche and Li Dachui have been looking forward to.
If Zhebei's strength can be eliminated in one battle, then the entire border affairs will be much simpler for the Anxi Protectorate. What Li Dachui wanted to get back was Qingtong Gorge and Yeboar Ridge.
This is a rare opportunity.
If the battle for the throne of Yandu comes to an end and the new emperor secures his throne and casts his sight to the south, it will be difficult to easily seize these two places.
Li Dachui would not be arrogant enough to think that the Anxi Protectorate's strength could be on par with Bei Yuan's.
If others really take it seriously, the Anxi Protectorate will only be defensive.
The Jebe vanguard team had just left Longgou Fort, and the Anxi Protectorate had already received detailed information.
It’s just that the information this time is really dispensable.
Because of such a large-scale operation, there is no plan to hide it from anyone.
Zhebie wants to use tyrannical strength to crush the enemy,
One force can defeat hundreds of societies.
No matter how many plots and tricks you have, you will be vulnerable to absolute power.
It’s just that this is Zhebi’s opinion.
As for the Anxi Protectorate, they were also cheering.
Isn’t everyone just looking forward to this moment?
Being able to annihilate Beiyuan's 30,000 elite cavalry in one go, just thinking about it can make people tremble with excitement.
"Thirty miles to the west of Tai'an City, one side faces the Qingshui River, and the other three sides are vast pastures, which is a good place for a decisive battle!" Chang Xiao stood in front of the sand table and said with a smile: "Deputy Li Protector, let me tell you about our current family situation!"
Li Dachui said: "Everyone, after the establishment of the Anxi Protectorate, the army was integrated. Now our regular cavalry force is the Sirius. The army has a total of five thousand people. Well, don't be dumb, of course the number of people we can pull out is more than this. The five thousand people I mentioned are the regular cavalry of the Anxi Protectorate. The Anxi Protectorate provides salary and support. "
Cui Hu has just joined the Anxi Protectorate and is still familiar with many things in the Anxi Protectorate. After hearing this, he couldn't help but ask curiously. : "Li Duhu, in addition to these five thousand people, how many more people can we bring out?"
"We can also bring out ten thousand riders!" Li Dachui said: "Please pay attention, what I am saying is The 10,000 cavalry mentioned are quite capable of fighting, not just anyone who can ride a horse or fight. These people are now being assembled. They are also a type of government soldiers. They will not be paid, and they will be captured. themselves. Within three days, these ten thousand cavalry will be assembled."
"There's not much difference between fifteen thousand cavalry and thirty thousand!" Cui Hu nodded and smiled.
After the number of people fighting reaches a certain level, the difference in numbers will not have such a big impact.
Just like ten thousand people may beat up one thousand people,
but one hundred thousand people may not necessarily beat up ten thousand people.
Although it sounds like one in ten.
Li Dachui laughed strangely: "Master Cui, this time, not only are our cavalry no less than Zhebie's, they even have many more."
"It's not just fifteen thousand. "Ride?" Cui Hu asked in shock, could I not know how to count?
"What I said is only what we have in our hands. In fact, we still have friendly forces!" Li Dachui looked at the people in the room with a smile and said: "As of now, there are some things that we don't have to do. We have hidden it from everyone. This time we are encircling and annihilating Zhebie. We have the right time and the right people. Even Yuan Guo and their own people are helping us. This kind of opportunity only comes once. If you miss it now, you will never find it again. Such a good opportunity."
"Friendly troops?" Cui Hu thought for a while before he realized: "Could it be that what Li Duhu said was stationed in the Anton Duhu Mansion in Yuntaihuang? Chen Liang’s army?”
Cui Hu suddenly realized, no wonder he hadn’t seen the supervisor Zhang Ruo during this period. After a long time, it turned out that Chen Liang had defected to the Anxi Protectorate early in the morning?
"He won't follow Ling Huye into the Pass?"
"The Zhengzheng man of Great Qin will take the lead in defending against foreign aggression!" Li Dachui said: "In addition to Chen Liang's troops joining the Pass, the army controlled by the Chang family outside the Pass will also Will join in this hunt."
Compared with Chen Liang's betrayal, Li Dachui said that the Chang family would also join, which really caused a sensation at the venue. The Chang family and the Linghu family. The relationship between them is extraordinary. It can be said that they are mutually successful and dependent on each other. Now that Linghuye has entered the customs, the Chang family has switched to the Anxi Protectorate. Is it so unfavorable to Linghuye's journey to the customs?
"The wrongdoers get many help but the successful ones get few. Ling Huye betrayed the interests of the Qin Dynasty and ignored the life and death of millions of people of the Qin Dynasty outside the customs in order to achieve his personal ambitions and make deals with the Yuan people. Such a person , How can we go far?" Li Dachui said. "Both Chen Liang and the Chang family are indigenous people outside the Pass. How can we just watch our homeland fall into the hands of the barbarians? It's easy to throw it away, but it's hard to take it back! Look at Qingtong Gorge and Yezhu Ridge. Sixteen years later, do the new generation there still think that they are from the Qin Dynasty? No, they now think that they are from the Yuan Kingdom. This is the most distressing thing!"
Having said this, Li Dachui glanced at Cui Hu, and then said: "Master Cui Bo, after all, someone like you who has been away from his homeland for decades and still maintains his original intention is just an exception and has its own special characteristics. It is impossible. Copied! ”
Cui Hu nodded slightly.
If Princess Changle hadn’t been protecting them, even if not all of them had died, they would have been completely digested by the Yuan people, and the next generation would only know that there was Yuan, not Qin.
