Outside Anle City, Chai Shao patted Xiao Rui's shoulder helplessly, "The foundation of the Tang Dynasty is still too weak. The entire Youzhou can only make up such three thousand elite cavalry. Zangfeng, you know, I don't miss you." adventurous."
Xiao Rui, who was dressed in armor, said with emotion: "Xiao Rui understands my uncle's intentions. But today is not a personal affair. Xiao Rui is the governor of Youzhou, and the trouble is caused by me. Jieli wants to invade Youzhou, and I can't let him go." Pass him."
Chai Shao sighed: "Oh...you are just too sensible, kid. Being so sensible makes us elders feel distressed."
As he said that, he glanced at the juniors and whispered: "It doesn't matter whether you become a champion or not, you will definitely survive."
ah? What?
Before everyone could react, Chai Shao drove his horse forward and shouted loudly to the three thousand elite cavalry: "This battle is under the full command of Youzhou Governor Shi Xiaorui. Several sons of the Duke are leading the way. The lives of all the people of Youzhou are at stake." Please.”
Su Lie raised the Overlord Halberd in his hand and took the lead in shouting: "The Tang Dynasty will be victorious!"
The Tang Dynasty is victorious!
Xiao Rui took out the Gentleman Sword from his waist and pointed towards the north, "Let's go!"
Three thousand elite cavalry marched toward the Khitan territory in the north with great fanfare.
Since we want to follow Huo Qubing's example and pursue death in the north, why do we need three thousand cavalry? Wouldn't it be better to bring more?
Xiao Rui also thought that he originally wanted five thousand cavalry, but unfortunately, Youzhou was too poor. Three thousand people were carefully selected, but war horses, armor, bows, swords, and martial arts were all qualified. Haha, the entire Youzhou couldn't even get three thousand.
I wanted to have one person and two horses, but Chai Shao spread his hands and there was no chance. Three thousand good horses, and the most important thing is the rogue horse. Horse? What is the use of the horse? If you can't run back, you will be overtaken by others.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Xiao Rui could only settle for the next best thing and choose some people with good physical fitness, good at horseback riding, and ordinary martial arts skills, which could be practiced in a few battles.
In just one day, Xiao Rui led the team to the Khitan royal court. Da Hemohui greeted them enthusiastically. Many Khitan generals were even trembling, worried that this elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty was coming for our Khitans. Bar?
In the Khitan royal court, Xiao Rui said straight to the point: "Old He, the Turks are coming, this time with an army of 100,000."
"Ah?" Da Hemohui dropped the cup in his hand to the ground, his face turning pale with fear.
"Don't worry, I'm not here for you, I'm here for Youzhou." Xiao Rui didn't laugh, just introduced calmly.
Da Hemohui breathed a sigh of relief, but the worry in his heart was still there. After thinking for a moment, he lowered his voice and said, "Master Xiao, might Youzhou be blocking it?"
Xiao Rui shook his head, "I can't stop it."
hiss……
In the king's tent, the atmosphere became tense again. A Khitan leader even said directly, "Chief, let's go and escape to the east."
Da Hemohui glared at his subordinates and said calmly: "Master Xiao, is there anything I, the Khitan, can do to help?"
Regardless of whether this thing was a test, he was still sincere. Xiao Rui took one look and accepted the favor.
He raised his glass and drank, "Old He, let's be honest, Youzhou can't stop Jie Li, so I brought these three thousand people to borrow a road from Khitan to penetrate into the hinterland of Turks and go straight to the Turk royal court. Jie Li He is ruthless and ruthless, and I, Xiao Rui, am not someone to be trifled with. If he dares to touch my Youzhou, I will bury him with all the members of the royal court."
Hiss... so cruel!
All the Khitan leaders were frightened by Xiao Rui's murderous intent and couldn't help but tremble.
Da Hemo nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, the Khitan clan is sworn to keep it secret and will never leak it."
Um? ? ?
Won't it be leaked? Then why am I here?
Xiao Rui shook his head and said: "Lao He, we have a good relationship, I won't hide it from you. This is a plan to draw out the firepower. It is hard to say whether it can solve the siege of Youzhou. If you reveal that Youzhou is destroyed, there is no guarantee that the Khitan will not be angry. So. , I came here this time to ask you to do me a favor."
"Master Xiao, tell me, I will never refuse Lao He." Da Hemo would promise, patting his chest.
Xiao Rui suddenly laughed, "Don't be so nervous, it's not about mountains of swords and seas of fire. I want you to take the Khitans and defect to the Turks. Only in this way can you protect yourself."
"Ah? This... no, absolutely not. Master Xiao, we Khitan are the best allies of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no way we can betray the Tang Dynasty."
"I'm not betraying you, it's just a pretense..."
"Stop talking, you don't need to tempt him. We have made a choice since we offended Qibi Heli." Good guy, Da Hemo would think that Xiao Rui was testing him. If he answered wrongly, people outside would Three thousand cavalry, we have to take action on the spot, right?
Xiao Rui really wanted to cover his eyes. How should I explain so that Da Hemo would cooperate with me?
After using up all the efforts of the Nine Bulls and Two Tigers, Xiao Rui finally explained clearly that this was not a test, but killing two birds with one stone.
The Khitan surrendered to Jie Li, who was able to keep the Khitan alive. At the same time, the news of Xiao Rui leading three thousand armored soldiers into the hinterland of the grassland must be passed on to Xie Li. Only if Xie Li was worried about having his home stolen, could he turn around and pursue Xiao Rui with an army of 100,000 people. Otherwise, the simple Youzhou people Warnings are useless.
Seeing the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty roaring away, Da Hemohui's eyes were complicated, and his leader worriedly said: "Chief, the Tang army is not testing us, is it?"
Da Hemohui shook his head, "No, if they want to destroy the Khitans, they don't need to test them. Be prepared. We have to be prepared with both hands."
A few days later, Jieli came to the outside of Anlejie, and the Khitan clan leader led his people to surrender.
Qibi Heli was the first to stand up and object, saying that the Khitan was now a lackey of the Tang Dynasty and could not be believed. It was because he believed the Khitan's lies last time that he was ambushed.
Jieli was not a fool like Qibi Heli, so he summoned the Khitan clan leader.
The Great Hemo Society was very respectful, claiming that the former Khitan patriarch He Duluo, who betrayed the Turks, was dead, and now the Khitans were sincerely loyal to the Turks. He also presented a piece of news as a certificate of surrender: You Governor Shi Xiaorui led three thousand elite cavalry all the way into the grassland, saying that he wanted to attack the royal court and capture all the Turkic nobles.
What? ? ? Is this happening? Jie Li exclaimed and turned to look at the first military advisor Zhao Deyan.
Zhao Deyan frowned and pondered, and asked at the same time: "Since Datang is running towards my Turkic Royal Court, this matter needs to be kept secret. How can I let you know?"
"Reporting to Shangguan, they don't dare to enter directly from the border. They borrowed a road from the Khitan a few days ago. We can't afford to offend the Tang Dynasty, so we can only pretend to obey. We won't dare to come over to report the news until they are far away."
Zhao Deyan scolded: "You bastard, why have you delayed it until today?"
Da Hemo would cry and cry: "It's unjust. Khitan is adjacent to the Anle City of the Tang Dynasty. We are weak. If the Great Khan hadn't come with his troops today, how could we have the confidence to betray the Tang Dynasty?"
Jie Li said coldly: "If you can't afford to offend the Tang Dynasty, does that mean you dare to offend my Turks?"
Da Hemohui couldn't help but kowtow: "I don't dare, the Khitan is willing to die for the Great Khan. If we have second thoughts, the Great Khan can kill us at any time."
After taking a deep look, Jie Li nodded and raised his hand to signal the other party to stand up, "Okay, since the Khitan is so loyal, then the Khitan family can be the vanguard in this attack on the Tang Dynasty."
Da Hemohui accepted the order, but he was embarrassed and said: "Great Khan, our Khitan clan is weak. Last time, because of Da Heduluo's incident, many soldiers were slaughtered by General Qibi Heli. The number of soldiers we can produce now is not enough." Five thousand."
Less than five thousand? Humph, what a waste, what use are you having five thousand people?
