Chapter 26: The Finals (1)
Chapter 26: Decisive Win (1)
On the east edge of Shatuo Rail, Mei Yingchun led the 5,000 Iron Cavalry under the former Tieheer, and stood in line with murderous spirits with hundreds of princely direct cavalry teams led by Hasler, confronting more than a thousand soldiers of the Hanhai Army Shatuo regiment that were eyeing each other for about an hour.
The sun was scorching above his head, and the north wind was scorching. The dust and dust were flying on Shatuo Rail. The soldiers on both sides had already sweated through their armor, and the sand and sweat had dyed their faces black and red. Everyone could not hold back. Hasser threw the sweat dripping along the armor on his forehead on the sand, urging the horse to Mei Yingchun, and shouted loudly: "Your Highness, Prince! What does Hanhai Army mean? Didn't the governor of Tingzhou ask us to withdraw from Shatuo Rail? Why don't we let us go out of Shatuo Rail now? Do we want to trap our brothers here to death?!"
"Hasler, stop talking!" Mei Yingchun scolded in a low voice. Hasler was very awe of him and did not dare to speak anymore. He had to retreat angrily, but still stared at the opposite side fiercely. Mei Yingchun was also suppressing his anger at this moment. He knew in his heart that according to the temperament of these fierce thunder warriors under his command, he was unwilling to talk nonsense at all. Not to mention that the Han Hai Army was blocking the way, even if the heavenly soldiers and generals came down to earth, they would still bravely move forward and kill him to the darkness and death!
However, how could Mei Yingchun show off her temporary courage? In the alliance with Li Yuanfang, Mei Yingchun has already bet on all the bets. Now he will be successful if he fails. If he cannot completely defeat Chi Duo's power and replace it, the brutal Chi Duo Khan must destroy Mei Yingchun even if he goes to the ends of the world. Mei Yingchun has no choice at all. He must obtain the trust and support of the Great Zhou side, and must not let himself be attacked from both sides. Otherwise, how could he be recalled to Tingzhou by a mere official document from Qian Guinan?
Facing the blazing sunshine, Mei Yingchun narrowed his eyes slightly, urged his horse to step forward, and shouted to the Hanhai Army again: "The Tuqi Shi tribe Wuzhile Zun, the governor of Tingzhou, Dazhou Tingzhou, Qian Guinanyou, and his subordinates, evacuated Shatuochi and requested to enter the jurisdiction of Tingzhou. I hope you can let it go!" He had already shouted this for an hour and said no less than ten times. The Hanhai tribe had no response, but just stood in front of the Tuqi Shi team with high gear, confronting them with eager eyes.
Mei Yingchun's forehead burst out with blue veins. He felt that the flames rising in his chest were becoming more and more difficult to suppress. The breathing of the cavalry behind him became heavier. Even the "mofeng" under his crotch began to be anxious, and the horse's hooves made a series of muffled sounds on the sand. At this moment, a passage suddenly flashed in the iron plate of Hanhai Army. A purple-robed Great Zhou official rode a tall horse to the front of the formation. Mei Yingchun certainly knew that the robe must be a third-rank official of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was secretly surprised. He thought he was facing the governor of Tingzhou, but unexpectedly, a more important character came.
After Wu Chonggui arrived in Tingzhou, this was the first time that he had seen the famous desert - Shatuochi. It was indeed a desert with vast wilderness and a desolate view. The sun was scorching, and the overwhelming sand and dust were flying in the hot air. Every hot wind that came to his face could suffocate. Wu Chonggui secretly prayed in his heart, God blessed me, don’t let me set foot on this place again in this life, I hope all this will end!
As soon as he met Mei Yingchun, Wu Chonggui was deeply shocked by the man's kingly spirit and the voice of the Tuqi Shi team. However, on the surface, he still barely acted as arrogant and raised his horse whip and shouted: "Who is the opposite side? He led his troops to scatter on the ground of our Great Zhou?" Mei Yingchun stepped forward and clasped his fists and said: "Wu Zhile, the prince of the Tuqi Shi tribe in the West Turkic Tuqi, did not wantonly break into the Great Zhou subordinates. There is actually something inside. I wonder if this master is?" Wu Chonggui's personal follower rushed to answer: "This is the imperial envoy sent by the Emperor of the Great Zhou, and the prince of Gaoping County, Lord Wu Chonggui! When he saw the imperial envoy, Wu Zhile would not salute quickly?!"
Mei Yingchun jumped off his horse calmly and bowed to Wu Chonggui: "Wu Zhile has seen the imperial envoy of the Great Zhou." "Yeah." Wu Chonggui nodded, but it was not easy to have a random attack again, so he stretched out his voice: "Wu Zhile, you, a prince of Tuqishi, why did you lead so many people to wander in the Shatuodisi under the jurisdiction of Dazhou? Now you claim to enter the territory of Tingzhou. Can you explain what's going on?" Mei Yingchun frowned. He was about to say
Feeling that things were very different from what was originally planned, he thought about it, and he took out money from his arms and sent the letter from Guinan and presented it with both hands: "Mr. Imperial envoy, Wuzhile led his troops back to Tingzhou according to the instructions of Lord Qian, the governor of Tingzhou. Previously, Yibotai, who was in Shatuo, assisted the bandit suppression group of the Great Zhou Hanhai Army to fight against the attack of the cavalry Shi Chiduo Khan. All of these can be seen from the letters of Governor Qian."
Wu Chonggui glanced at Wu Zhile half-believingly, and hurriedly browsed the letter he had submitted with him. After a while, he raised his face and said coldly: "Wu Zhile, do you think that when you hold this letter, I will believe you and your troops easily release Shatuohe?" Mei Yingchun was stunned, and then clasped his fists and said: "Sir, you don't suspect that Wu Zhile faked the letter from the governor, right? If so, the imperial envoy just ask Guo Qian personally, and the authenticity will be determined!"
"Oh? But Qian Guinan is dead. I can't call his soul to ask?" "What? Governor Qian is dead?!" "Yes, is it a surprise? I was planning well? Humph, I didn't expect something wrong in the middle, cough! Hongyan is in trouble, Hongyan is in trouble..."
Wu Chonggui was still pretending to behave, shaking his head and sighing, but Mei Yingchun's heart was like a turbulent sea. He knew that something must have happened, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for a while. He was even more worried about the safety of Meng Dan, Li Yuanfang and others. He was as if he was so nervous as he was stumbled. The hot sweat suddenly turned into cold sweat. However, on the outside, Prince Wu Zhile was still calm and bowed to Wu Chonggui again: "Sir, Lord Qian, Lord Qian is still a friend of Wu Zhile. Can you ask him for the cause of his death?"
Wu Chonggui was so angry that he thought that Li Yuanfang's accomplices were really virtuous and bold enough to be cunning. So he raised his face and spoke: "Oh? Governor Qian is the prince's friend, so does Prince Wuzhile have a friend named Li Yuanfang?" Mei Yingchun's heart sank, but he still answered calmly: "Yes, Li Yuanfang is also a friend. The imperial envoy mentioned that he was..." Wu Chonggui laughed: "Your Highness, if one of your friends killed another friend, how would you deal with it?"
Mei Yingchun looked shaking and stepped on the front half of the walk: "Mr. I, Wu Zhile, don't understand what you mean." "I can't understand the meaning of the imperial envoy. It was Li Yuanfang who killed Qian Guinan!" "Is that?" Mei Yingchun took a deep breath and quickly judged the authenticity in his mind. Based on his previous understanding of the entire incident, it was not impossible for Li Yuanfang to kill Qian Guinan in an emergency, but it was a serious crime to kill the fourth-rank official of the court without the emperor's permission... Thinking of this, Mei Yingchun smiled slightly: "Is it because Li Yuanfang killed Qian Guinan by the imperial envoy?"
Wu Chonggui was so angry that he roared: "You let go... it's nonsense! What's Li Yuanfang? How could this imperial envoy authorize a border guard to kill the Siping official of the imperial court! It was clearly Li Yuanfang and Qian Guinan conspiring to collude with the Western Turks. Well, that is, you Mei Yingchun, trying to capture Tingzhou inside and outside, and hand over the territory of the Great Zhou to the Gentiles in exchange for glory and wealth! Qian Guinan's letter is obviously a trick, but it allows you to break through the defense line of Han Navy with a swagger and enter Tingzhou without any effort. Unfortunately, you have made two serious mistakes!"
Mei Yingchun looked slightly and asked with a sneer, "Oh, two serious mistakes, Wu Zhile is willing to hear it clearly!" Wu Chonggui said proudly: "You, a prince of the Tuqishi tribe, how could you help the Great Zhou fight against the Tuqishi troops? Therefore, the words in this letter are nonsense! This is one of them; you led the crowd out of Shatuoji to Tingzhou as promised, but unexpectedly, Qian Guinan and Li Yuanfang had an internal conflict for a woman in the past two days. After Li Yuanfang killed Qian Guinan and returned to the governor's mansion, completely exposing his wolf ambitions. And you, because of marching in Shatuoji, naturally cannot get relevant information, and this is the second! So it is said that human calculations are not as good as God's calculations. You are really doing everything, and your intelligence is wrong!"
Mei Yingchun clenched his fists and was silent for a moment before saying, "Sir, your words are really distorted and slandered!" Wu Chonggui was furious: "What did you say?! How dare you..." Mei Yingchun interrupted him: "Sir, Wu Zhile asked again, since you insisted that Li Yuanfang committed murder, then where is he now? Has the imperial envoy arrested him?" Wu Chonggui said hatred: "Let this guy run away!" "Oh, what
What happened?" "Yesterday at noon!" Mei Yingchun nodded: "Very good, then Wuzhile should ask the imperial envoy to explain. Since you believe that Wuzhile led his troops to Tingzhou this time, it was discussed with Li Yuanfang in advance, then he fled Tingzhou since noon yesterday. Why didn't he come to Wuzhile to report the situation directly, and instead made Wuzhile confused and knocked into the trap of the imperial envoy? Isn't this a waste of time and destroying the so-called conspiracy and tricks of our common conspiracy?!"
Wu Chonggui was speechless and then became angry and angry: "Then Li Yuanfang is a madman! Who knows what happened to him?! Since he can be brave and hooked up with a woman who is on the verge of the attack, it is not surprising that you betray you, a Turkic thief in a hurry!" Mei Yingchun's eyes were about to spit out: "There is no real evidence, it's all up to make a fool of himself, and he actually slandered people and insulted them wantonly, saying a rebel and a thief. Is this the
Was it the imperial envoy of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty?!" Wu Chonggui's face turned blue and red, and he simply waved his hand: "Okay! I have no time to talk nonsense to you, the Turkic thief! Since your friends Qian Guinan and Li Yuanfang are both rebels, you must be the enemy of the Great Zhou! I am the imperial envoy ordered you to immediately lead your troops out of the Great Zhou territory and go back to your Tuqi Shi's hometown, otherwise... Humph, don't blame me, the Great Zhou Han Navy for being rude!"
The hot wind blowing from the desert raised sand and dust. Everyone bowed their heads to avoid it. Only Mei Yingchun stood there in the place and did not move. The sand and dust fell. He spat on the ground and said, "Although the Great Zhou is a vast country, Tuqishi is just a small part of the Western Turks, it is not a slave you summoned and waving when you go! The warriors of Tuqishi will not be intimidated by a few words! The imperial envoy, Wuzhile is going to come out of this Shatuomo today, and you must be accurate, and you must be correct if you are not correct!" After speaking, he turned over and jumped into the "Mo Feng". The black divine horse raised its front hooves high and neighed to the sky. The war horses in the entire Tuqishi team responded together, accompanied by the golden sound of the cavalry knocking on weapons, which was deafening and soaring into the sky.
Wu Chonggui hurriedly turned his horse's head and hid behind the team, while incoherently shouting: "Hurry up, come on! Block them!" Han Haijun was ordered to hug him. Seeing that the two armies were only ten steps away, a fierce battle was inevitable!
Mei Yingchun gritted his teeth, and he could clearly feel the hot gaze on his back. It was the 5,000 Iron Cavalry brothers who had subdued him for a while. How could the Tukshi men, who were as fierce as fire, endure such humiliation just now! However, Mei Yingchun was still hesitating. In today's battle, he slept on fire and tasted gall. He had been painstakingly arranged for so long to unite with the Great Zhou. Regardless of victory or defeat, he would become the common enemy of Tukshi and the Great Zhou. His life and death alone were nothing, but what should these Tukshi brothers do? What should we do if the strong cause of restoring the country and revitalizing it?!
At the edge of the endless Shatuo Radical Radical edge, the air seemed to be unable to condense. Mei Yingchun's fist clenched and loosened, and then clenched again and again. Finally, he made up his mind and raised his right hand high. Just as he was about to call the order, he suddenly heard a horse's neigh. A bright red figure rushed to the front of the formation like a shining fire. The girl with light armor and light hair ran and shouted: "Brother! Stop! Stop!"
Chapter completed!
