Chapter 468: Who is more rude

Not only Wang Ping'an was shocked, but all the guards around him were shocked! Two hundred thousand string controls, what does it mean? Two hundred thousand people came to attack? Then there was no need to defend the city, pack your luggage, and run to Yumen Pass quickly!

Yelu Junge'er hurriedly said, "It's not 200,000 Turkic soldiers. Master, don't misunderstand it. Guanxian is not the same as Turkic soldiers."

Before he could explain, the scouts who were running wildly arrived at the post and immediately went to Wang Ping'an. The scouts were all panicked and went up to the hills. Before they could get off the horse, they called Turkic words to Wang Ping'an.

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said, "Don't worry, take a breath first and say it slowly!"

The scouts jumped off their war horses and took a few deep breaths before they could tell the enemy's situation. Their Central Plains words were not good, they could only be considered a little clear. When reporting, they were inevitably mixed with Turkic words. Fortunately, there was Yelu Jun'er translator, so Wang Ping'an could understand it.

After the three thousand pioneers led by Qu Zhimao, the troops of the Dayan tribe were marching, which could almost be regarded as being promoted to attack. There were no old or weak, and all were young and strong. However, the young and strong here did not refer to young men, but also young women.

In the court of the Tang Dynasty, when we talk about how big the Turkic tribe was, we often use "tent" to count. When it comes to attacking people, there will be "control strings" to count. When it is really time to start a war, we will count like the soldiers in the palace, saying how many Turkic soldiers there are.

String control refers to the Turkic people who can participate in the battle. Turkic women are very different from those of the Central Plains. It cannot be said that everyone can draw strong bows, but among the ten young Turkic women, eight of them can draw bows, which is not an exaggeration.

Fighting does not specifically refer to close forces. On the contrary, the Turks rarely fight against the enemy, but use cavalry to shoot and attack the enemy, attack quickly and retreat quickly. It is very important whether they can shoot the bow.

The Central Plains infantry charges and is arranged in a square formation. The woman definitely cannot join the queue. The attack is not sharp enough and the escape is not fast. But the Turks are different. As long as they can ride fast horses and can shoot arrows, they are a warrior. Men and women can go into battle together. Men fight close together, while women attack the enemy from a distance and cooperate with each other!

Therefore, when the Turks went south to the Central Plains, they often scared the border guards, how powerful our tribe is, how many strings are. At the beginning, this statement was quite scary, but later the border guards also understood that the so-called string control was to forget that women would go in, so it doesn’t matter. Of course, if the border guards drove away the Turks and remembered their military achievements, they would still regard the Turkic women as real soldiers, and selectively forget that they were women, so that they would have great military achievements!

But now it doesn’t matter that Zheliu County is now. The Dayan army has brought 200,000 string controls, which is too much. If half of them are reduced, there will be 100,000 Turkic soldiers. Moreover, it is not the tired and hungry soldiers like Zheliu Turkic soldiers who have been tired and hungry for half a winter. The two armies don’t have to go to war, and the outcome will be known!

After hearing the explanation, Wang Ping'an was in a hurry to jump up and down. He asked, "Has our Tang Dynasty offended the Dayan tribe? It seems that there is no one. Why are they joining their troops to attack? Is it possible to fight the Tang Dynasty?"

Ouyang Li also said: "The Khan of the Dayan tribe wants to take the banner and be a Turkic Khan himself?"

Wang Ping'an wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and shook his head and said, "No, if that Khan wants to proclaim himself a Khan, he should curry favor with my Tang Dynasty court. How could he lead troops to attack? It wouldn't be like erecting two great enemies at the same time? He offended both the Tang Dynasty and the Turkic Khan!"

He waved, "Looking again, be sure to find out the movements of Da Yan's tribe."

The scouts agreed in unison, took a few sips of water, and then got on the horse again. One scout got on the horse and ran down the hill. He didn't go far, and turned his head and ran back to the hill. The scout said to Wang Ping'an: "Ping An Khan, when we go to explore the Yan tribe, they will also send people to visit us. You must be prepared!"

Wang Ping'an nodded, looked at the scout, and said, "Okay, I will be careful. By the way, what's your name?" He looked familiar with the Turkic soldier, but he couldn't remember who was here.

The scout immediately stroked his chest and saluted, saying, "The villain's name is Gabazi. Ping An Khan knows my father!" After that, he was laid off and left.

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "Gabazi? Who is he and who is his father?" For a moment, he didn't remember.

Yelu Junge'er usually gets along with Turkic soldiers, and he whispered: "When he was in Ganzhou, his father followed his master to the town and killed Chigba the night he killed!"

"Oh, it turns out they were both men!" Wang Ping'an remembered it. He couldn't help but sigh. He didn't remember who Gabazi was, but he was a little better at them at that time, so he firmly remembered the insignificant concern for him, and was willing to make great efforts at the critical moment.

He sighed and said, "It's not a solution to stay here. Let's go back to the city and prepare early. I guess the army of Dayan's army will arrive at Zheliu tomorrow." He returned to Zheliu County with his guards.

At this time, the news of the enemy's attack had already spread. The Zheliu Turkic soldiers quickly gathered in the county town at a very fast speed. From the time when the news came out, more than 20,000 Zheliu Turkic soldiers rushed to the county town in just two hours.

It was cold and the broken city walls were not completely repaired. If the enemy really attacked the city, they were afraid that they would not be able to defend the city walls. In the end, they would either fight in the streets or pull out of the city to fight in the field, which was inevitable!

Su Dingfang ordered the Turkic soldiers to cut down trees, make fences, and place them on the city walls as city defense equipment. In addition, they temporarily made some rough horse-rejecting horses and placed them outside the city. There are so many people who can do things. According to their working speed, it is estimated that the city defense will be able to be done tomorrow at dawn, but whether it has any practical effects is just a matter of this!

Wang Ping'an returned to the city, went straight into the fort, went to meet Fang Xuanling and the others, and discussed how to fight the enemy.

After entering the hall in the castle, the hall was called Jubaotang, which was a place where the robbers sat on the ground. Wang Ping'an felt that the name was pretty good, so he did not change the name, and the plaque was not removed, but was still hung on the beam.

Fang Xuanling sat in the middle of Jubao Hall, Wang Wendu and Gu Lantian were with him on both sides, but You Xiujie was not seen, and I don’t know where he had gone.

Seeing Wang Ping'an come back, Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "It must be hard for you to go out to investigate the enemy situation in the cold weather. Come on, there is a good ginseng soup here, you can drink a bowl." He pointed to a small porcelain basin on the table.

Seeing that he was calm, Wang Ping'an calmed down and found a seat to sit down, saying, "There is no need for ginseng soup. Lord Fang, the enemy coming is Da Yan's army, and Qu Zhimao is the pioneer. Do you already know this?"

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "A scout has come to report it. The city defense has not been done yet, right? If it is too late, then there is no need to do it." Seeing Wang Ping'an confused, he said, "Don't worry, the invading Turkic soldiers will not really attack Zheliu, they are just scaring us... to scare you, they are going to attack Shazhou."

Wang Ping'an glanced at Gu Lantian beside him, and saw that Gu Grand Governor curled his lips and touched his chin without making a sound. He laughed dryly and said, "It turns out that he is going to attack Shazhou, but the Xiaguan is also the governor of Shazhou. Do you want to send troops?"

Fang Xuanling waved his hand and said, "No need. I have sent someone to inform the governor of Shazhou. It is estimated that the governor has allowed the surrounding people to enter the city, and the invading enemy will not get any benefits."

Wang Ping'an blinked his eyes and thought to himself: "Wouldn't the people of Dayan go for a waste of time? They are not so stupid, are they? What we expected, they would not have expected before they came!"

Fang Xuanling said: "Wujian, this is your first time dealing with the Turkic tribe? You still don't understand how they do things." He explained the current situation to Wang Ping'an.

The Turkic soldiers of the Dayan tribe were attracted by Qu Zhimao, so there is no mistake. But the Khan of the Dayan tribe would not be so stupid that he would lend him troops for free. It must be beneficial, so it must be based on mediation. As for what is the best way to mediate a robber leader and the Tang court... it doesn't matter, as long as there is an excuse to come!

The vanguard unit that Qu Zhimao borrowed would make a riot at the city and make a strong attack. At this time, the Khan of the Dayan tribe arrived and would tell Wang Ping'an that we were deceived and were deceived by Qu Zhimao, and they made up all the reasons. Anyway, they were deceived. But it was easy to come and it was difficult to go back because there was no food or supplies. So you Tang people want us to get out, so support us. If you don’t give it to us, you will not leave!

This is a disguised threat. It is not that Da Yan tribe doesn't want to leave, but that they can't leave and they are deceived again. So from a moral point of view, they can't fight with them. They negotiate here and use soft knifes, and they won't be polite in Shazhou, and they will definitely rob the surrounding area.

Zheliu has to agree to their conditions, and at most the supplies they give will be discounted. If they don’t agree, they will not leave, eat, drink, defecate, and sleep outside the city. Who can stand it? They are all shameless, who can do what they can do?

In the end, Dayan's troops took the supplies provided by Zheliu and returned to the grassland with the property they stolen from Shazhou. If Wang Ping'an insisted on robbing Shazhou, they would say that we robbed Shazhou because there was no food, and you were dragging us down and did not support us. It was not that we wanted to rob, but that you forced us to rob, it was your fault!

Anyway, if Da Yan’s troops come here, they will definitely return with a full load and will not suffer any losses. As for whether the Tang army will take revenge in the future, I will talk about what will happen in the future!

After hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Wang Ping'an grinned and said, "The Khan King of the Dayan tribe is still a hero no matter how shameless he is, right?"

"Shameless?" Gu Lantian spoke, and he said, "I have seen more shameless things in Yumen Pass over the years. This is the most shameless one for the Turks. At least they still use Qu Zhimao as a reason!"

Wang Ping'an was a little confused and said, "Then what should we do? Just wait for them to use this disgusting trick, and there is no way to crack it?"

Fang Xuanling and Gu Lantian were silent for a long time. Fang Xuanling said: "According to the current situation, this is the only way. Our army has little chance of winning in the war, and it is really unnecessary. Neither enemy nor us have any plans to start a war, but if we don't start a war... we can only suffer the people around Shazhou. I hope they can all enter the city as soon as possible and reduce losses. There is really no good way to face these rogues."

Wang Ping'an was extremely dissatisfied. As the prime minister of a country, he gave up the small but took the big one. From the perspective of the overall situation, he could not tell his mistake. But if he suffered the people, how many families would be destroyed in these words!
