Chapter 1406 The murderousness of the old lady
The northwest border gate of Daning was originally the Xingning Pass. After the construction of Xita City, the outermost border gate of Xita City moved northwest for 400 miles, poking in the Western Regions like a wedge. Xita City was there, and several small countries nearby were under the view of the Daning Border Army.
Before he decided to retreat to the Western Regions, Wang Duomur, a king of Heiwu, did not know that Daning was building a new border town here. If he knew, he might have a longer detour. Of course, it depends on whether the pursuers behind him will give him a chance.
During the civil strife of Heiwu, Domuer never participated in the war with Daning. Domuer, who occupied a southwest corner of Heiwu, preserved his strength.
After Xin Fengyue's death, Domuer felt that his opportunity had come. He devoted all his clan's strength to piece together 150,000 troops to march towards Xingcheng. However, he underestimated the combat power of Guiyue people. In the Tuoraka River, which is about 600 miles away from Xingcheng, his army was defeated by Yuan Fuji and Puyue's army, and lost 50,000 or 60,000 troops.
After the defeat, he wanted to retreat to his fiefdom, but Yuan Fuji ordered the black warrior general Chunmu to lead his army to pursue him 80,000. After Domur returned to the fiefdom, he thought he could use the advantage of the geographical advantage to guard the death, but he lost consecutive battles and a large number of tribe members were killed. In desperation, he moved westward with his clan.
He ordered all males over fourteen years old in the clan to join the army, and pieced together an army of more than 100,000 people to protect the elderly, weak, women and children to retreat all the way to the southwest. Because they were too close to the border of Daning, Chunmu did not dare to chase them very close, but just followed them far away to monitor and look for fighter jets.
The Black Martial Arts now have frequent civil wars in the entire country and its national strength has been greatly damaged. However, its foundation is still there. Yuan Fuji won consecutive battles and won the support of a large number of Black Martial Arts nobles. He entered the Star City and had settled.
Wu Xinyu, the general of the northern border of Daning, once asked his Majesty whether he could take advantage of the situation to continue his marching north. His Majesty's will was to let Wu Xinyu deal with it as appropriate. If he could take advantage of the situation to annihilate the black warriors, he would fight and do not advance rashly. Due to geographical reasons, a large-scale march is no longer realistic.
Now the northern border of Daning is in Luojia Lake. The black warriors built a new border town north of Luojia Lake to resist the Ning army. Even if Wu Xinyu leads his army to break through the Black warrior defense line, he will become an isolated army when he marchs northward.
The Heiwu City, which is closest to the Daning Border City of Luojia Lake, is also hundreds of miles away. Therefore, if Wu Xinyu wants to advance, he must first break through the Heiwu South Court camp, and then garrison hundreds of miles away. This garrison is very likely to be besieged by the Heiwu people and cannot even rescue them.
It’s not that Daning no longer has the strength to continue the Northern Expedition, but that it has to consider the gains and losses.
Domur traveled west with difficulty. Although he was so embarrassed by pure wood, with his current military strength, he could definitely stir up trouble in the Western Regions. Near Xita City was the former Houque Kingdom of the Western Regions, but was killed by Daning, and Houque Kingdom was split into more than a dozen small countries. It was not big, but now it is even more scattered.
Even a city can be called a country.
Da Ning would like to see such a situation. No matter how many small countries it was divided into, he would respectfully submit to Daning. The people of the Western Regions were still rich, so Daning made a lot of profits from it, including food, cloth, skin, tea, and other than iron tools.
There is no clear distinction between good and evil between countries. The more chaotic the Western Regions, the more beneficial it will be to Daning.
But if Domuer entered the Houque country, the dozen or so small countries might not be able to beat Domuer together, even Domuer was a defeated general.
Sita City.
The old lady led more than 200 Tang family's children to the city gate, and the city had already allocated 12,000 troops, but they were all new recruits and had not experienced battles.
"Grandmother."
General Tang Sheng, the general of Xita City, looked frightened when he saw it: "Why are you here in person?"
The old lady waved her hand: "Just just move my muscles and bones, just think I'm a little far away when I take a walk."
She asked: "What's the situation with the enemy?"
Tang Sheng said: "Domur now has about 100,000 troops, but half are half old children, and they lack combat power. In addition, he also brought hundreds of thousands of people with his nationality, so he seemed to be very powerful."
He unfolded the map before the old lady: "They are here now."
He continued to say, "Although Domure's soldiers are not worth worrying, and only one-third of the ones who are good at fighting are among the 100,000, but... they have been forced to a dead end, and those who are dead end will fight to the death."
The old lady nodded: "They really have no way out. Behind them are Chunmu's pursuers, and they are still the great victory army. They have already beaten Domu's people to the core, so they would rather take the risk of migrating to the Western Regions than continue to fight with Chunmu."
The old lady asked: "What information is there about Chunmuke?"
Tang Sheng replied: "I don't know very well. If he hadn't led his army to chase him, I wouldn't have known that there was such a war-going general. It is known that this person was promoted by Yuan Fuji many times. He was promoted from a lieutenant to a third-rank general in just one year. I guess that, first, this person is a serious member of the Ghost Moon tribe. This person was promoted to restoration of the Ghost Moon tribe's heart, and second, because this pure wood is indeed a general."
The old lady nodded: "If I guess correctly, Domure has sent someone to contact you."
"yes."
Tang Sheng turned around and handed the old lady several letters held by his personal soldiers: "Domur sent people to deliver four letters in two days."
The old lady nodded: "If I believe it, I won't read it, just tell me."
Tang Sheng said: "Domur means that he hopes that Daning can open his mouth to him and let his tribesmen go to the Western Regions. He is willing to swear to promise that no matter where he goes, he is a minister of Daning and is willing to regard Daning as his mother country. He also said that if we have any conditions, we will make it, as long as we are within his ability, we will agree. In addition, he urgently hopes to send his subordinates to discuss in person with me, but I refused."
The old lady smiled and said, "Domur is desperate. It is logical that he can squeeze him out a little, but now he is so poor that he can't get rid of the blame. He is so embarrassed to say that he has the ability to be a bastard within his ability."
“Add the city wall.”
The old lady pointed and took a big step forward.
Although she is a woman, her words, behavior and style are full of style. Not to mention an ordinary man, there are only a handful of generals who can compare to her style within Daning.
In terms of momentum, the generals of the four frontiers are not good at all. The ones who are still in charge are the generals of the Imperial Army, Dan Tai Yuan Shu, can be compared with him.
In addition to him, even Ye Jingtian, who was appreciated by His Majesty for his meditation and perseverance, Wu Xinyu, who is known for his calmness and courage, seems a little tender. As for Meng Chang'an and Shen Leng, they are even more tender.
On the city wall, the old lady raised her eyes and looked northeast. She could see the camp about twenty miles away, like big mushrooms after one by one. The people of Domuer dared not go west again, for fear that the Daning border army would attack.
The old lady looked further away with her eyes raised, and could not see the pursuit of the Black Warrior. Chunmu was not a fool. Of course he knew that if he got closer, Daning would immediately join forces with Domuer to kill him first. Relatively speaking, Daning would of course be willing to fight the Ghost Moon Man.
He also wants to see the confrontation between the three parties, but all three are uncomfortable anyway.
"Domur's ancestors defected from our grasslands. At that time, in the middle of the Chu State, rebelled on the grasslands, and various tribes raised troops one after another.
The Chu court appointed a young general Xu Qulu to lead his army to suppress the rebellion. Domur's ancestor was defeated by Xu Qulu and led his tribe to the Black Martial Arts. In order to surrender more grassland tribes, the Black Martial Arts Khan Emperor at that time took his ancestors as an example and made an exception to be named King of a different surname."
The old lady talked about the past, which shows her profound knowledge.
"Domur was originally a timid and had the same virtue as his ancestors."
She turned around and looked at Tang Sheng: "Let Domuer come by himself. If he has the courage to come, I will give him a chance to defeat Chunmu."
Tang Sheng asked: "Does he have the courage to do it by himself?"
The old lady said: "Of course not, but he would probably choose one or two of his own children to send them as hostages."
Tang Sheng asked: "Then how do we deal with it?"
The old lady snorted: "He is going to run away, he has no food and clothing, so he sends the child over here for us to raise him? I think it's beautiful! Women can raise them."
She looked at the terrain outside and said, "He is willing to come to see me by himself, so I will discuss with him the matter of joining forces to defeat Chunmu. He dares not come, or wants to send a son over, so I can only let him understand that selling his son is useless."
She pointed her finger outside the city and ordered: "Tang Wei."
Tang Guo’s elder brother Tang Wei stepped forward: “The grandson is here.”
"Do you dare to leave the city and put the team in front of Domure's army?"
"dare!"
Tang Wei reached out to take the arrow: "Go now!"
"Tang Qi, Tang Huan, Tang Yao, Tang Tie."
Four teenagers left the list.
"The grandson is here."
"You four, each bring five hundred racers to camp on both wings of Tang Wei's camp."
"yes!"
Four Tang family boys clasped their fists at the same time and turned around and fell down the city wall.
"Tang Sheng."
The old lady looked at Tang Sheng, who immediately lowered her head and said, "The grandson is here."
"Send someone to send a letter to Chunmu and ask if he would join forces with me to defeat Domuer. If he wants, tell him that I will issue troops to attack him from the front and back, and divide the Domuer tribe equally."
Tang Sheng asked: "But Chunmu may not come, he may think it is a fraud."
"I hope he won't come."
The old lady smiled and said, "I sent him a letter but I didn't want him to come. Otherwise, why would I be attentive to deal with Domure? Have you seen it... Among the tribes that Domure brought with me, there are at least tens of thousands of daughters. The northwest part of the northwest part has been in decline for too many years. I am worried. There are too many bachelors. The northwest part of Daning is in a bad mood. The daughters are willing to marry far away and not stay in the local area. In the long run, you guys look in front of the mirror and feel pretty. Old lady, I will touch your wife for you."
The defenders on the city wall all laughed.
The old lady said, "I like the daughters of the grassland tribe. They are beautiful and capable. If I take over 100,000 women in one battle, I will be considered a blessing to it."
Ye Fu was listening to the side and wanted to laugh, but as he smiled, his back suddenly became cold.
He realized what the old lady meant... If she wanted to bring the women from the Domuer tribe back to Daning, she had to kill all their men.
The old lady had already set a goal for this battle while laughing.
