"At the foot of Shenyu Mountain, two thousand enemies were killed and more than one thousand six hundred foreign soldiers were captured? Haha, when we came here, we still whirled along the way and refused to tell us the details..."

Shi Hai and Xiao Chunyu met the scoutsmen who were scouting in front of Yuquhekou, and rushed to the foot of Shenyu Mountain in a hurry to meet. Even though he learned from the scouts that the advance tribe and the Beijing-Xiang army had severely damaged the foreign soldiers for more than a month.

, but they didn't know the details - they only then knew the specific results of the victory at the foot of the Shenyu Mountain. They asked in shock, all suspected that they had heard it wrong.

"Ba Li didn't deliberately hide it," Xiao Yanhan said, "We were alone in the hinterland of Tubo, and every step we took was like walking on thin ice. We were worried that the generals would be weak, and we were also afraid of being careless and underestimating the enemy. At the foot of Shenyu Mountain, we had never had any more than that.

Promote the results of the war! At that time, we had been in the foothills of Shenyu Mountain for nearly a year before we arrived at the canyon of Shenyu Mountain. We were exhausted and trapped. We could defeat the foreign soldiers, and all of them were Su Chong. Xu Yan and they fought bravely, and they were also troubled to do so in the future.

Clean the battlefield. Bali, Mo Hai and the others were dealing with the enemy all the way. When they arrived at the foot of Shenyu Mountain, they were already ill. They couldn't even pick up the knife a month ago. Fortunately, they recovered recently and led the team to be responsible for spying and reconnaissance...

”

"So that's the case--" Xiao Chunyu asked with emotion and excitement, "So, it's hard to pose any threat to our tribe's tribe's going south alone?"

The Tubo Highlands are thousands of miles wide, and may not be slightly smaller than the entire Central Plains, but the harsh environment and climate determine that the population is sparse. In the early years, the Tubo Plateau had a warmer climate, a larger agricultural scale, and a relatively prosperous population.

This ushered in a prosperous dynasty era, but in the next two or three hundred years, the climate became worse and worse, and the separatist forces continued to fight, and the population became more and more sparse.

The Semogang area ruled by Buqu Temple is generally a plateau between Lushui and Ruoshui. It has a very wide area, but there may be only more than 20,000 young and strong men living in this area.

.

Under normal circumstances, there are only more than a thousand soldiers in Buqu Temple. This time, I deeply felt the threat brought by the Khitan people's southward journey. After months of mobilization and preparation, I only gathered seven or eight thousand soldiers.

Riders siege and block.

The limit of the military mobilization of Buqu Temple in Semogang area cannot be compared with the remnants of Khitan who have been wandering around for many years.

The seven or eight thousand brigades may be the limit of the Buqu Temple's mobilization in the short term.

A crushing defeat and half of its troops were lost. For the vast land and sparsely populated people of Semogang, it was definitely a severe blow that could not be forgotten in hundreds of years - if Semogang Tubo tribes could continue for hundreds of years.

Shi Hai couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder the princess said just now that she sent someone to inform Buqu Temple to arrange for the master to negotiate at the foot of Shenyu Mountain, rather than sending anyone to negotiate with Buqu Temple..."

"Even if there was no previous victory, General Wang Ju and Zhang Zhanjun and the General Office consulted with the General Office of the State Council to go to Dali and Tubo, there was no reason to weaken the prestige of the country!" Xiao Yanhan said.

Although the forgery of the edict may cause great trouble, in addition to the Dali Kingdom, Wang Ju, Shi Xun, Hu and others, they insisted on flattering the country's edict to go to Tubo to contact the tribes.

"The foreign soldiers in Buqu Temple and Semogang area were severely damaged. It is difficult to pose any threat to us in a short period of time, but we still dare not take it lightly."

After introducing the basic situation of the Tubo tribes of Duogansi, Zhang Xiongshan introduced the urgent situation they faced at Duogansi at this time, and said,

"The temples and docks built by Buqu Temple and Dege and other Tubo nobles in Semogang all occupy the dangers of mountains and rivers. We do not have sufficient logistics supplies, no combat equipment to attack cities and villages, and three or four thousand troops will be used.

When the army was alone, it was hard to say that we could easily conquer these already prepared cities and temples. However, we could not take these temples and villages. The areas we can directly control in Semogang are very limited and cannot extend to the depth.

From Shenyu Mountain to the south, through Bongbogang to Shanju County, Dali Kingdom, it is nearly a month's journey, all of which are limited to one road, and most of the time they are winding in the dangerous valleys of Xiongling and ridges, with a large and small road along the way

Dozens of passes—”

Su Sun spread a simple geoslide map on a simple wooden table, displaying the general terrain between Shenyu Mountain and Shanju County in front of Shihai and Xiao Chunyu.

Shi Hai was a Khitan general. Xiao Chunyu, as a rising star in the Khitan, was also familiar with military affairs. Combined with the geometric terrain map and Zhang Xiongshan's introduction, he quickly understood the situation facing the foothills of Shenyu Mountain.

It is difficult to pose any threat to Buqu Temple and Semogang forces, which were severely damaged, but they have gone too deep into the hinterland of Dogansi. It is too deep to control the hinterland of Si and cannot control the city and villages.

The region has been stationed for a long time, and once Semogang joins forces with other five forces, it will be easy to cut off their retreat.

Xu Huai rushed to Taiyuan thousands of miles to pick up 100,000 soldiers and civilians south. The most difficult part of the road was actually only a three or four hundred miles across the Luliang Mountains. The more critical future was the safe area in the Hezhong area, and there was no enemy intercept.

The situation they are facing now is actually more precarious - it is also the most taboo thing about the lonely army's deep into the military.

After learning this, Xiao Chunyu became more and more heavy and murmured to himself:

"Buqu Temple may be unable to threaten us, but seeing nearly 100,000 tribes of our tribe heading south, Mangkang, Bangbogang and other Tubo forces, it is hard to say that they will continue to remain indifferent..."

The environment is too harsh, which means that the population that this land can carry is severely restricted, and it also means that the competition for living space is even more cruel and fierce.

"...Tubo has been divided over time, and the severe and harsh climate and environment have made its internal communication extremely limited, and its understanding of the outside world is even less. According to our understanding during this period, as well as the interrogation of prisoners of war, the upper level of the Buqu Temple

The vast majority of monks' understanding of the Central Plains was even in the previous dynasty, and no one knew that the Chihu people had occupied Longyou, Hexi and most of the Western Regions," said Zhang Xiongshan, "This is the most beneficial to us.

One side of…”

To put it bluntly, their plan was to take advantage of the information gap and the Tubo tribes' unfamiliarity with the external situation, to trick them into thinking that Dayue was still the most powerful dynasty in this land, and to think that the remnants of Khitan just went to the Dayue transit from Duogansi.

, instead of fighting for a habitat in the southern part of Dugansi or in the Shanju County, Dali Kingdom near Dugansi.

Of course, they had been worried that the Tubo tribes of Duogansi would contact Chihu people after this disturbance. Perhaps the Chihu people realized that the remnants of the Khitan tribes were going south and would send envoys to contact the Tubo tribes.

In that case, the situation will be more complicated.

Now from Shi Hai and Xiao Chunyu, I learned that Xiao Linshi may have led his clans south at this time, and Zhang Xiongshan and Wang Ju were relieved repeatedly.

After all, there are still 100,000 people in the Khitan tribe, and they will also carry hundreds of thousands of animals to the south. Although it will slow down the speed of going south very slowly, such a force lies between Duogansi and Duosima.

Temporarily cut off the connection between the Dugansi Tubo tribes and the north.

The information gap is the key to their ability to maintain their forceful deterrence and coaxing.

As for how the Khitans should take root in the southern region of Dugansi or Shanju County in the western part of Dali Kingdom after they had sufficient contact with the Chihu people after Tubo forces such as Semogang, and finally chose to surrender to Chihu.

, and how to deal with it, those things are things that Xiao Linshi and Shi Hai and others have to consider after they go south.

Zhang Xiongshan, Wang Ju and the others don’t need to have a headache about this matter yet.

At this time, Shi Hai finally understood many things, moved the wooden case in front of him, bowed respectfully towards Jingxiang, and shouted:

"If our tribe is lucky enough to survive this time, it depends entirely on the righteousness of the envoy!"

Dayue's eyes were short-sighted, and the two northern expeditions to Yan not only caused heavy casualties, but also exposed his weak background to the Chihu people, but also directly destroyed the last chance of Khitan struggle. There were many generals including Shi Hai in the remnants of Khitan.

This is a resentment and has always opposed cooperation with Chushan and keeping vigilant.

It was not until this moment that Shi Hai put down his guard deep in his heart.

No matter what, even if Jingxiang has a deeper intention to send troops, it has a lot to do with the life experience of Xiao County Prince Xiao Bo. But Shi Hai knew better that Jingxiang sent 4,000 reinforcements thousands of miles away to pick them up, and they had to pay.

The price is as high as the risk, and the bloody and cruel facts are proved. If the Beijing Xiangshang Army had not arrived in time to pick it up, they might have survived, but the Khitan nation may no longer exist from now on.

Wang Ju, Zhang Xiongshan, Shi Xun and others returned the gift to Shi Hai on behalf of Jingxiang.

Now that I learned that Xiao Linshi was most likely to have led the clans south, everyone discussed and decided to adjust the original action plan. Shi Hu, Sun Yanguan, Xiao Xuan, Xu Yan and others will lead hundreds of elite troops to the gods
