Hundreds of miles away in Yunzhou, a drunken Yu Gushe suddenly grabbed a wine jar and threw it, almost hitting the head of a middle-aged man who was kneeling on the ground with both ears cut off.
"Li Shan, Li Shan!" Yu Gushe staggered two steps, looked at the letter in his hand again, his eyes burst into flames, and tore it to pieces, "Li Shan, Li Shan!"
The constant low roars were mixed with endless hatred. Since returning to Wuyuan County from Hebei the year before last, although the news has not spread widely, how could Ru Yusheshe and Jieshusuu miss this opportunity to humiliate Yugushe?
Not to mention that when Tuli Khan returned to Wuyuan County, this incident was used to silence Jieli Khan several times... Many people in the clan had this idea. When Qiming Khan passed the throne to his eldest son, Bike Khan, since then, the throne has been passed down from brother to brother twice, but now that Yugu has taken on a big responsibility, I am afraid that the position of Great Khan will be passed down from uncle to nephew, and it will once again pass to the lineage of Shibi Khan.
In this case, revenge is not just because of personal grudges, but the only way to prove Yugushe's ability and regain his prestige.
Therefore, after hearing the news that Li Shan went to Mayi to recruit Yuan Junzhang, Yu Gushe immediately sent his troops south. After learning that Yu Sheshe had been killed, he even gloated... As long as he could kill Li Shan, then he would Can turn the tables with one sentence.
But Yugushe didn't expect that when he arrived in Mayi, what greeted him was not Li Shan, but a tragic defeat.
After traveling north to Yunzhou, Yu Gushe refused to return to Wuyuan County. Will he be ridiculed if he goes back again?
He tried to ask Li Tang to hand over Li Shan in the name of his father Jieli Khan, but the envoy bumped into Li Shan's hands, and the other party used this letter to humiliate him...
Thinking of this, Yu Gushe couldn't hold it any longer, so he picked up a riding crop inlaid with gems and whipped the man on the ground hard.
Rags mixed with flesh and blood flew into the air, and the middle-aged man on the ground groaned in pain and regretted that he did not die at Yanmen Pass, but would die under Yu Gushe's riding whip.
It wasn't until he was dying that Yu Gushe gasped and threw down his riding whip, picked up the golden cup and drank the remaining wine in one gulp, thinking in his mind... Should he attack Yanmen Pass?
After all, Yuan Junzhang had already surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and Liu Shirang's man was still in Mayi. If he sent troops to attack Yanmen Pass, it would be terrible if Liu Shirang came out.
Moreover, Yunzhou is short of food and grass, it is freezing and snowy, and it lacks siege equipment, not to mention that it is impossible to attack Yanmen Pass with cavalry... With all these factors put in place, it is not stupid to try to make a plan, knowing that nine times out of ten, it will be in vain.
At this time, there was a report from a servant outside. Yu Gushe's face flashed with anger, he picked up the gold cup and threw it at the door. A person outside the door quickly dodged and shouted: "Don't you want to kill Li Shan?!"
"Why didn't you chop off his head that day?!" Yu Gushe mocked: "It is said that they had a very happy conversation, but what happened?!"
The dusty leader's face was ashen. He waved his hand and hit the servant's shoulder with his whip, "Get out!"
"Bang!" Yugushe slapped the table and was about to get angry.
"You want to kill Li Shan, and I want to kill him too!" The association leader rushed to the front and shouted: "But now the most important thing is Mayi."
Yu Gushe's expression softened, he believed that the association wanted to kill Li Shan... Yuan Junzhang defected to the Tang Dynasty. This incident caused an uproar in Wuyuan County, and many tribesmen accused Tuli Khan.
In addition, most of the tribes left by Yu Sheshe were annexed by Tuli Khan, and Jieli Khan was furious... The two khans were not just fighting each other as Li Shan guessed, but they were already fighting each other. Been playing several games.
"The troops have stopped." The association explained: "Mayi must be recaptured."
Yu Gushe knew that this should be an agreement on a truce between his father and Tuli Khan. Both sides would jointly send troops, and this should be why the association led the troops here.
"How many troops did you bring?"
"Five thousand."
Yu Gushe's eyes flickered uncertainly. He initially went south with 3,000 cavalry, but was defeated in the first battle and lost nearly a thousand. However, two small tribes were transferred over a year ago, with almost 5,000 cavalry.
Calculating a total of almost 10,000 cavalry...to attack Mayi?
Why not just attack Yanmen?
After hearing what Yu Gushe said, Jusheshu's face turned dark, "Are you crazy?"
"Yuan Junzhang first surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and nearly ten thousand cavalry went south. Even if they could not capture Mayi, they could still frighten Yuan Junzhang... If they were to attack Yanmen, what would happen if Mayi sent troops?"
"Don't forget, Liu Shirang's fellow is also in Mayi!"
"You keep an eye on Mayi." Yu Gushe sneered, "I'll attack Yanmen Pass!"
"Can five thousand cavalry capture Yanmen?" The association leader sneered: "Do you expect the cavalry to fly to Yanmen Pass?"
"That's none of your business!" Yu Gushe's eyes were filled with incomparable resentment... Li Shan, since you cut off the messenger's ears in the name of the conflict between Hu and Han, you must have the courage to bear the price!
It was already late at night, and Shesu was lying on a thick leather jacket, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
On that cold snowy night, the shining long knife, the cold tips of the branches, and the heavy horse hooves trampled through the camp tents. There was chaos and blood everywhere... Even if you close your eyes, you can seem to see outside the camp gate, Yuan Junzhang, who was kneeling on his knees, raised his head high.
In the dilapidated village, the young man who seemed to have always been gentle and elegant, with a gentle smile and the same friendly tone as always... Youshesu's breathing was a little rapid.
The association rate clearly remembered that after he rushed back to Wuyuan County and told everything, his brother Tuli Khan fell into a long silence... Obviously, just as the young man analyzed, his brother could not refuse the Yuan Dynasty. Sheshe left behind the temptation of those tribes, and was even quite tempted to form an alliance with Li Tang.
After nearly a month of riots, Wuyuan County has returned to superficial calm. Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan reached an agreement to recover Mayi first, then capture Yanmen, and Yuan Junzhang surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. He ordered Zhan Yu Sheshe to interrogate the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.
The association leaders had privately discussed with Tuli Khan that it might be possible to recover Mayi, but it would be hopeless to accuse the Emperor of Tang and force Li Tang to hand over Li Shan...
Even before setting off, Tuli Khan had confessed that Yugushe was a man with a reckless and impulsive temperament and was not suitable for a big job. He went south to frighten Yuan Junzhang... and let him go first.
But unexpectedly, Yu Gushe actually wanted to attack Yanmen... The Guantao County Duke who made his brother feel cold is now at Yanmen Pass.
Although the elder brother did not say it, the association rate showed that the elder brother was very interested in forming an alliance with Li Tang... The most obvious evidence is that before setting off, the elder brother asked if he still remembered how to contact him...
Jiuhe Shui thought in his mind that maybe he could give it a try... He knew very well that the biggest weakness of Jieli Khan today was the incompetence of his only son Yugushe.
On the grassland, it is very criticized if there is no strong successor.
