In mid-October, in the western border of Shan Puppet, with Bor Zongbi as the main general, Shan Puppet secretly gathered 50,000 elites here to stay on guard.
At this time, the mountain puppet general Borzongbi was sitting firmly in the army, waiting for the most suitable time to take action.
Not long after, Deputy General Borjak came to the Chinese army's tent, opened the tent and handed a scouting report to Borzongbi. He said in a deep voice: "Uncle Qi, as expected, our caravan was attacked by the former tribe. The border army's attack is now heading in the direction we set."
After hearing this, Borzongbi stood up and said: "Okay, according to the original plan, it is expected that the main force of the Xi tribe will basically be stuck on the southern front facing the Taisha coalition forces. The internal defense must be empty. They must not have thought that we would send troops to fight at this time. them."
Borjak laughed when he heard this and said, "Uncle Qi said that."
In the western border, Shanpu's tens of thousands of troops were waiting in full formation. Borzongbi led the troops to lurk in the preset positions.
In the blink of an eye, a mountain puppet caravan consisting of hundreds of people appeared on a small road in the mountains and forests. It seemed that they fled here in a panic. Behind the caravan, there were more than a thousand Xi clan frontier troops pursuing them.
Seeing that the enemy was trapped, Borzongbi waved his hand, and the mountain puppet army, which was several times the size of the Xi tribe's pursuers, suddenly emerged from the jungle. By the time the Xi tribe's pursuers could react, they were already surrounded by the mountain puppet troops rushing up. , the pursuers of the Xi tribe who were chasing the caravan all the way saw that the situation was not good, and they surrendered directly.
Seeing this, Lieutenant General Borjak chuckled and said to the coach Borzongbi: "Uncle Qi, these former tribesmen actually dare to cross the border to pursue our mountain puppet caravan. If it happened suddenly, they would definitely succeed. It's just that I didn’t expect that we would be waiting here so early, haha..."
Borzongbi nodded slightly: "I have given my general order. The former tribe killed our caravan of mountain puppets without asking the reason, and brazenly invaded the border. Such behavior is tolerable, but what can't be tolerated? The entire army will follow me in." I went to the borders of my former clan to avenge the death of my compatriots in the mountains."
After receiving the order, the three armies of Shanpu shouted in unison "Long Live the Emperor" and marched into the eastern border with Shanpu to capture the city.
A few days later, the mountain puppet army was victorious and conquered all the way, and captured five cities of the former clan.
The general of the Mountain Puppet, Borzong Bijian, captured the city so easily along the way, which basically confirmed the judgment of the Xi Clan that the internal defenses of the Xi Clan were currently empty. Every time he entered a city, only a thousand people defended the important cities on the border of the Xi Clan. It can be seen that the Xi Clan This time, in order to eat Taisha's fat meat, it can be said that they mobilized all their troops to fight with all their strength. Anyway, there must be a fight between the Xi clan and Taisha. It is impossible for the Xi clan to suddenly make peace with Taisha and turn around. Mountain puppet.
At this time, tens of thousands of troops from the Mountain Puppet surrounded a small mountain city built on the mountain by the Xi Clan. Although this city still had few defenders, it was victorious because of its dangerous terrain. It was the chokepoint of the Xi Clan's eastern border. As long as this city was captured, , there is no longer any barrier in the eastern border of the Xi Clan, and the mountain puppet army can rush all the way into the hinterland of the Xi Clan, which forces the Xi Clan to the point where they have to send troops to return for reinforcements.
Borzongbi knew the established strategic purpose in his heart. He ordered the entire army to surround but not attack. He waited here for the main force of the former clan to return for reinforcements.
It was not until the Mountain Puppet army besieged the mountain city for three days that a Mountain Puppet scout, Fengchen Puwu, came to report to General Bor Zongbi in the main tent of the Shan Puppet Central Army: "For your information, General, the main army of the Xi tribe will arrive in one hour." .”
Borzombi asked: "How many people did they come?"
The scout said: "For the record, General, I have visually determined that the Xi tribe has at least one hundred thousand soldiers and horses."
Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Borjak said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the Supreme Elder of the Xi Clan would take us seriously. He withdrew almost half of the troops on the front line to confront our army. I'm afraid that after Tesha received the news, the Xi Clan There’s a lot of pressure on the southern front! We might even lose a lot of the territory we’ve gained.”
Borzongbi nodded slightly and said: "Well, the Xi clan has withdrawn half of its main force. It may not be easy for the Xi clan to keep the fruits of victory on the southern front this time."
Borjak chuckled and said: "If we don't want to take the opportunity to go south to encroach on Taisha, we really want to have a real fight with the former clan this time, but we want to see who is the overlord of southern Xinjiang."
When Borzongbi heard this, he said thoughtfully: "There will be opportunities in the future."
An hour later, Borzongbi saw that the main force of the former clan was finally coming to reinforce the mountain city, so he ordered the entire army to withdraw from the siege and slowly retreated. The defenders of the mountain city of the former clan finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the main force coming to reinforce the mountain city. There was great joy on the city walls.
After a while, the reinforcements from the Xi tribe sent a flying horse to the Shanpup military camp to negotiate solemnly.
When Borzongbi heard that the envoys from the former clan were coming, he directly summoned the envoys.
The envoy of the Xi clan entered the Chinese army's tent and saw the Shan Puppet Master General waiting for him. The envoy came forward to protect his chest and saluted: "Greetings to the general. I only wish to express my greetings to the great emperor on behalf of the supreme elder of our clan."
When Bo Zongbi saw this, he laughed and said: "Without courtesy! Why is your envoy here?"
The envoy of the Xi clan cursed in his heart, pretending to be confused while pretending to understand. What else do you need me to tell you? It’s okay for you mountain puppets to attack Taisha together without any help, but you actually backstabbed the Xi clan at the critical moment when they were using their troops. It can be said that the supreme elders of the Xi clan were driven crazy, but everyone in the Xi clan also understood that Nan Xinjiang is the relationship between the three countries. We must not offend two of them at the same time, otherwise the country will be really in danger.
The envoy calmed down and said respectfully: "Reporting to the general, because of the border conflict between your country and our country the day before yesterday, your country suddenly sent troops to attack five cities of our clan. The Supreme Elder felt that there must be some misunderstanding in this, so he specially sent the Come down and make peace.”
Borzongbi raised his eyebrows and asked: "Misunderstanding? Is it called a misunderstanding that your border general attacked and killed my Shanpu caravan for no reason and robbed my caravan's property? He actually sent troops to chase into our Shanpu territory. If he entered, Uninhabited territory? Is this also called a misunderstanding? If your envoy cannot give the other general a satisfactory peace condition today, I will not easily call it quits. This is what our ancestors meant."
When the envoy heard this, he understood it. It seemed that there was a possibility of making peace. He stepped forward and offered his hand, persuading: "Reporting to the general, I hope the general will write to the Emperor Changsheng that our family is willing to pay one million gold to redeem the five cities and compensate them. The caravan has been lost, do you think we can call a truce?"
Borzongbi sneered and said: "Does this general care about your money? Our ancestors told me before sending troops that if you want to negotiate a peace, you can send the heads of the generals involved in this incident to When I come here, I, the general, will return the city and call a truce."
The envoy secretly glanced at Borzongbi's frosty face and said with a wry smile: "Reporting to the general, our former clan can agree to anything, but this matter is really difficult to do. The general involved is me. Grandson of the Taishang Elder, General, can you please consider the face of the Taishang Elder and exchange for other conditions, our former clan will try our best to meet the needs of the mountain puppet."
When Borzongbi heard this, he said to himself that this old guy Bortas was quite good at deceiving people, so he had chosen a good candidate, which made the Xi tribe a little embarrassed.
Borzongbi still pretended to be angry and scolded the envoy: "The prince has committed the same crime as the common people. I, the general, must kill this traitor today to comfort the souls of my subjects in heaven. Go back and tell your Supreme Elder Long She Baiye that our ancestors specifically explained this." Well, if he refuses to surrender, we will gather all the elites in the country to ask for an explanation, and we want to see if your former clan can stop our butcher knife?"
Seeing the general's anger, the Xi tribe's envoy's face showed a trace of murderous aura. The Xi tribe's envoy's complexion changed slightly. He knew very well that the Xi tribe must not fall into the war between the Xi tribe and Taisha at the same time. The two fronts are at war, and the country is about to perish. Although the Xi clan has now sent 100,000 reinforcements, they have no confidence that they can defeat the Shanpup with only 50,000 troops. Among the countries in the southern Xinjiang, the Shanpup has a small number of troops. There are many, but the combat effectiveness is the strongest. If the Shanpu really uses all the troops of the country to attack the Xi clan, given the current national conditions of the Xi clan, they may really be in danger of subjugating the country.
The envoy from the Xi clan thought over and over again and begged again and again: "General Qi, do you think you can be accommodating and change the terms of the peace negotiation?"
Seeing that Borzongbi didn't say a word and looked at him coldly, the envoy knew that the matter was not negotiable at the moment, and he was about to say goodbye and leave.
Borzongbi stopped him, threw him a small object, and said: "This is what you are giving to your Supreme Elder. Our ancestors have something to say to your Supreme Elder. Just four words." Remember this word, face south and north."
The envoy accepted the object and said to himself: "Facing south and north? General, I will remember this. I will report it to the elders truthfully when I get back."
With that said, the Xi clan envoy resigned from the Shanpup military camp and went to the rear to report on his work.
Borzongbi looked at the back of the envoy as he returned and fell into deep thought. He didn't know if the supreme elder of the former clan could understand the meaning of his ancestor. Anyway, this is what the emperor told him before he left...
