Chapter 766 Don't have illusions

The father and son of the King of the King of the Crowns stood on the city tower with an extremely solemn expression.

The torches of the enemy outside the city were densely packed, from far to near, from few to more, like a brilliant galaxy flowing in the night sky, giving people a feeling that it was not beautiful, but fear and horror. Then the sound of horse hooves rumbling in the night wind, and people shouted and neighed in the dark, as if countless ghosts rushed out of hell, rushing towards the city like a tide, making people frightened and sweated. It was obvious that the enemy was not a forest horse thief, and there were not so many horses; the enemy was not a Middle-Earth. If the Middle-Earth people took the Lightning River to attack Xidi, how could the Turks use the way and let their opponents cut off their arms? Therefore, the enemy could only be Turks, and only the Turks could kill with lightning speed, and there were such a large number of powerful horse soldiers.

The Turks were betrayed and stabbed in the back. At this critical moment, they attacked the vassals and ally brothers, which was despicable and shameless. Thinking of the warnings sent by Shi Shu and Hu to the Xi clan before, the King of Sui He had to speculate on the Turks' attack intentions with the greatest malicious intention.

"Who is the enemy?" Yun asked coldly with murderous intent.

Meng Ba gritted his teeth, "What do they want to do with shameless Turks? The Middle-earth people are attacking both sides of the Lightning River, and some troops even entered the Lightning Origin. The Yaqi is in a hurry. In such a crisis, Ashinaduola is not concentrating on the counterattack of the Middle-earth people, but is divided into two groups and fighting on both sides. It is too crazy and unreasonable."

Speaking of this, Meng Ba suddenly woke up, turned to look at Yun, and looked worried, "Sir, it should be that the struggle on the tent has been fierce, which has affected the fish in the pond and has implicated us."

The King of Hunhe frowned and nodded slightly, "The Turks' actions have a profound meaning. It is probably to threaten the Guifang's safety and force the king to withdraw his troops immediately."

Meng Ba was even more worried, "Sir, since that's the case, what will happen? Should I ask for help from the royal palace?"

King Yun of the silence held his arms and looked at the "red torrent" surging outside the city, pondering and silent.

Before King Xi, Ah Huizheng went north to attack the Khitan, he had tried Chi Jishi and Bulishi. The brothers did not support it, but did not publicly oppose it. Ah Huizheng understood it as acquiescent, so he decisively sent troops. Later, Shi Lifa Shi Shu Huxi came and immediately issued a warning to Ah Huizheng, saying that the Middle-earth people were going to attack Xidi. The implication was to ask him to withdraw his troops and not fight, but Ah Huizheng ignored it and continued to attack. Shi Shu Huxi was Shibi Khan's confidant, and his every move represented Shibi Khan's will. It is not difficult to judge that Shi Shu Huxi's warning to Ah Huizheng actually represented Shibi Khan's strong dissatisfaction with Ah Huizheng.

Shibi Khan and Chi Jishe, Bulishi were in a disagreement with each other, and there was a great conflict between brothers. Ah Hui Zheng took advantage of this and launched an attack on the Khitan with the conflicts within the Ah Shibi Khan. Judging from the current situation, although Shibi Khan was very angry about Ah Hui Zheng's attack on the Khitan without authorization and deliberately chaoticing the situation in the Northeast, he was worried that Chi Jishe and Bulishi were secretly supported by Ah Hui Zheng. If he publicly attacked Ah Hui Zheng directly, it would inevitably intensify the conflict between him and his two brothers. Once the strong rebound between Chi Jishe and Bulishi, the brothers would directly fight and fight each other, which would not only not help ease the situation in the Northeast, but also resolve the problem.

Deciding the trade crisis between the north and the south and stabilizing the relationship between the north and the south, there is a possibility that the situation will worsen further. So Shi Shuhu came. When warning Ah Huizheng was ineffective, he must think of other ways to press forward step by step. Just as a rebel army in the Middle Earth attacked, Ah Naduo was caught off guard, and he was overwhelmed for a while, and was busy and exhausted. Shi Shuhu saw that the opportunity was rare, and it was very likely that as Ah Naduo was too late to take care of himself, some tribal leaders in the tooth banner who were loyal to Shibi Khan crossed the flat pine forest to raid the ghost side, and then forced Ah Huizheng to withdraw his troops to achieve the purpose of warning and attacking the Xi tribe.

However, the current situation is also a rare development opportunity for the Xi tribe, and an opportunity to break through the siege of the great powers is not to be missed.

Now, Middle-earth is exhausted after two consecutive years of expedition to Goguryeo. The Far East overlord Goguryeo is almost collapsed under the drag of two consecutive years of war. But at this critical moment, the Turks in the Southeast Yaqi, which is closest to the Xi tribe, were restrained by a group of Middle-earth rebels who were out of the barrier. As for the northern clan, they had a desire to go south. The Xi tribe and the Khitan snipe and clam were fighting, which was just cheaper than the Hu tribe, and the fisherman could benefit without any effort. Next, as long as either the Xi tribe or the Khitan fails, the Hu tribe will definitely "take advantage of the Hu tribe." "Roast the fire" and go south to expand the territory. Therefore, at this moment, the Xi tribe is actually in a difficult situation. If this opportunity is not captured, it is also snatched, because the price of Ah Hui withdraws his troops is too high. As long as he retreats, the Khitans will follow and chase them, and the Wu tribe will take advantage of the situation to rob them. In addition, the Turks are waiting for the battle under Guifang City, and attacking them from three sides. Even if Ah Hui withdraws, the five armies of the Xi tribe will suffer heavy losses. After the strength is greatly reduced, the Xi tribe will definitely become fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered by the great powers. The future is very pessimistic.

On the contrary, if Guifang City persisted, it ensured Ah Huizheng's retreat and local security, gave Ah Huizheng strong support, helped Ah Huizheng defeat the Khitans and completely occupied the Tuohechen River, then the Jun tribes would definitely take advantage of the situation to rob and seize a large area of ​​land on the south bank of the Khitans on the Ruoluo River. The final situation was that the Xi tribe and the Jun tribes joined forces to divide the Khitans together, and everyone was happy.

In this way, the key to this battle fell on the Guifang, and the fate of the Xi tribe was in the hands of King Yu, who was as heavy as a tremendous amount of responsibility and great pressure. King Yu, who was also bound to pay an unimaginable price for this, and even the entire army might be wiped out.

So, can the King of the Wuyun pay such a huge price to get enough rewards? The answer is not sure. If King of the Wuyun's army is wiped out and Guifangcheng falls, not only will there be no reward, but you will also bear the blame for the destruction of the clan and the genocide; if King of the Wuyun loses his troops and saves Guifangcheng, his strength will inevitably be greatly reduced. In this case, even if there is a reward, the gains and losses will not be proportional. The strong will be prey on the weak, and the King of the Wuyun will soon be eaten by Ah Huizheng; of course, there is another best result, that is, The King of the Imperial Palace saved the Guifang at the minimum cost. The loss of strength was not large and the reward was high. However, the premise was that the Turks at the city did not have the determination to capture Guifang, nor were they prepared to fall into the battlefield in the Northeast, and they had no absolute advantage in terms of military strength. This attack was just to "surround Wei and save Zhao", which was to use the safety of the Guifang to force Ah Hui to withdraw his troops to maintain the situation of the three tribes in the Northeast. Ah Hui also compromised, cooperated "tactfully", voluntarily withdrew his troops, and returned safely.

So, how likely is this best result? It is very slim, because there is no trust between the Turks and the Xi people, and the relationship between the sect leader and the vassal is very tense. The Turks have been coveting the Northeast for a long time, but the Middle-earth and the Far East Goguryeo also stared at this "fat meat", and ended up in a stalemate. No one can eat this "fat meat". However, the situation has changed. The Middle-earth and Goguryeo fought both sides and temporarily lost the power to annex the Northeast. The Turks naturally had to seize this opportunity and take decisive action.

Therefore, the judgment of the current situation was that the Turks had the greatest possibility of besieging the city and attacking the aid. This plan not only forced the Ah Hui to withdraw its troops, but also used the power of the Khitan and the Citizens to attack the Ah Hui. After the Ah Hui was defeated, he was forced to surrender to the Turks under the pressure of survival. So the Turks easily annexed the Xi tribe and took the Xi land. Then the Turks took advantage of the victory and attacked the Khitan and the Citizens, and the Northeast was at your fingertips. One step further, even if the Turks failed to achieve their greatest goal and even failed to annex the Xi tribe, they could definitely severely damage the Xi tribe and then greatly strengthen their control over the Northeast. The final winner was the Turks.

After analyzing and judging this way, and weighing the pros and cons, there is actually only one choice for the King of Sui He.

He could not take risks, could not gamble with the fate of the Xi tribe, and at the same time he could not put the King of the Hun He tribe in the desperate situation of death, so he could only ask Ah Hui to withdraw his troops by 100,000, and ride the Turks had not yet captured the Guifang, and ride the Guifang could still hold on, and the Songshan Pass was still in his own hands. He took advantage of the Khitans to see the situation clearly, ride the Hun He tribe had not started to take advantage of the situation, take advantage of the situation that had not deteriorated to the point where it was uncontrollable, and asked Ah Hui to withdraw at all costs. Although the Xi tribe would miss the development opportunities and might even suffer a heavy blow, the tribe was saved, the habitat was preserved, and the King of the Hun He tribe was also preserved. This was a great blessing in misfortune and the best result.

"Light the beacon, call the police to Songshan to ensure that the key passes of Songshan are not lost." King Yun of the silence turned his head and looked at Mengba, "You immediately leave the city, use the cover of night to rush out of the enemy's encirclement, ask for help from the king, and ask the king to withdraw his troops quickly."

Yun's order was somewhat different from Mengba's expectations. He hesitated for a moment, agreed, and then said carefully, "Sir, the Turks' choice to attack the ghost side at this moment should be directly related to the attack of the Middle Earth. Once the war between the North and South broke out, in order to fully confront Zhongtu, the Turks not only needed stability in the Northeast, but also needed the three northeast tribes to charge for it. Therefore, I think that the goal of the Turks' sneak attack on the ghost side should be to force the king to withdraw their troops, rather than to capture the ghost side. Besides, the Turks' battles on both sides could not concentrate their main forces to attack the ghost side. After the army of our Xiwang Mansion came with support, they could attack the enemy inside and outside, so the ghost side would be able to hold on for a longer time."

Yun understood what Mengba meant as soon as he heard it. Mengba was tempted by the development opportunity in front of him, and at the same time he had a little fantasy about the Turks and lacked understanding of the cruelty and blood of the Turks. He actually naively believed that he could be a skin-skinned with the tiger, and he could deal with the Turks and drag the Turks under Guifang City, while continuing to attack the Khitan, capture the Turks, and expand his territory.

"Why do you think the Turks are fighting on both sides?" Yun asked without hesitation, "Where did you come from the evidence that the Turks are still fighting against the Middle-earth people on both sides of the Lightning River?"

Mengba was speechless.

"Don't have any fantasies." Yun said sternly, "Tell the king that the Turkic soldiers are in a hurry and Gui Fang is in danger. Please do not hesitate at all. Hundreds of thousands of fires will withdraw their troops back to the rescue, otherwise the Xi tribe will suffer the disaster."
