LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 77 Yizhou Border
When Li Yuan met Liu Yanxin, there was a big shock in Yizhou and a war broke out on the border!
Border grassland.
Late autumn dusk!
The setting sun was setting in the west, turning the sunset glow on the horizon into blood red, which fell on the vast grassland.
Boom! Boom!
However, under the setting sun, an extremely brutal cavalry fight took place on the border.
Boom!
Smoke and dust billowed, the fighting shook the sky, the hoofs of horses shook, thousands of troops and horses, and the dense cavalry shook the grassland.
The black iron cavalry with the symbol of the Dayu Dynasty, as vast as the sea, spread out on the grassland like black waves to surround and kill another army.
In the endless enemy camp, there are cavalrymen wearing strange costumes, with chapped faces, greedy eyes like wolves, and holding long scimitars in their hands.
It’s the fierce and brave Hu Qi on the grassland!
There are a total of 60,000 Huqi scattered in the vast grassland!
This is the majority of the Hu Tuo Dynasty's cavalry. Sixty thousand fierce and brave Hu cavalry are enough to roam the vast grasslands.
However, Hu Qi, who had frightened several dynasties and tribes in the grassland, fell into an ambush by the cavalry of the Yu Dynasty.
The thumping sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, and the shaking of the earth became more and more violent. Looking at the torrent of steel rolling in with thousands of horses on the opposite side, General Hu Qi showed a look of fear and anger in his eyes.
They were deceived!
………………
Time goes back to a month ago…………
Hundreds of miles away from the Yizhou border, there was a grassland dynasty called the Hutuo Dynasty.
The Hutuo Dynasty was a dynasty composed of large and small tribes. It was considered one of the strongest dynasties on the vast grassland. With the advantage of the nomads, its Huqi were ferocious and good at fighting and plundered everywhere, making several nearby dynasties furious. Fights often broke out.
As a dynasty on the grassland, they coveted the Dayu Dynasty for having the most fertile land, the richest resources, and enough food. However, facing the power of the Dayu Dynasty, they were heartless and courageous, and only dared to fight on the border of Yizhou. Frequent harassment.
A month ago, Yizhou garrison general Ji Wushuang suddenly sent three generals, each leading a team of elite cavalry, deep into the grassland. Most of the tribes in the Hutuo Dynasty were rampaging and rampaging, instead of killing the enemy, they secretly burned all the food in the tribe.
The leaders of various tribes in the Hu Tuo Dynasty were furious. All the food in the tribe had been burned. How could they survive? They all asked the king of the Hu Tuo Dynasty, King Tuo, to avenge them, and they wanted to invade the border of the Dayu Dynasty to snatch food.
On the grasslands, food is very precious. They store food in three seasons of the year to prepare for the winter. But now that it is autumn, the food has been burned.
King Tuo was furious but felt helpless at the same time. It was not that he didn't want to come back with revenge, but Ji Wushuang, the general guarding the Yizhou border, was a very powerful character. He was one of the ten famous generals of the Dayu Dynasty, and the Hu Tuo Dynasty had defeated him several times. Suffering a loss on your hands.
The grassland is a world where the weak eat the strong.
If they were defeated by Ji Wushuang again, the warriors of the dynasty would suffer heavy losses, and if other dynasties came to kill them again, the Hu Tuo dynasty would really be over, so they rejected the requests of the leaders.
However, the lack of food made it difficult for each tribe to survive. For half a month, the leaders of each tribe have been begging King Tuo to provide food and seek solutions.
In the royal court, although King Tuo is old, he is very strong and strong, with a rough appearance, and his gray hair stands tall and straight like a steel needle.
King Tuo, who once again comforted the leaders to return, was sitting on the throne angry and worried.
On the grasslands, food is already scarce. Now the tribes whose food was burned by Yu's army can still hold on for a while, but as time goes by, there is no solution to the problem of food. When their tribes starve, they will rob the tribes who still have food. , by then the dynasty would fall into chaos again.
King Tuo cast his hopeful eyes on the only person standing in the royal court, the national master Meng Gonglu.
Meng Gonglu, a state master with a faint aura and a mustache who looked very capable, met King Tuo's gaze and had already come up with a plan in half a month:
"King, the Yu Dynasty is very powerful and You Ji Wushuang is here. It is difficult for us to invade Yizhou to obtain food. Why not temporarily put aside our hatred and let us attack other dynasties!"
"Attack other dynasties?"
King Tuo's sharp eyes flashed, this is a good idea!
Although I don’t know why Ji Wushuang went crazy and raided various tribes in the dynasty to burn food, but they couldn’t afford to offend the Yu Dynasty, how could other dynasties also afford it?
"Report!"
Emergency report from out-of-court escort.
"Come in!"
"Report, there is a mysterious man meeting the king outside the king's court, saying that he can solve the king's troubles."
The eyes of King Tuo and his husband Meng Gonglu moved.
…………
After a while, a mysterious man wearing a black robe and wrapping himself tightly walked into the royal court.
Seeing the man in black with only one pair of eyes exposed, husband Meng Gonglu frowned and asked:
"Who are you? Why don't you look at me when you see my king?"
When the man in black robe saw that King Tuo refused to bow, he said in a arrogant tone:
"King Tuo, are you now planning to attack other grassland dynasties to seize food? If you really think so, you have fallen into Ji Wushuang's plan!"
Hearing what the man in black robe said, Prince Tuo and his husband Meng Gonglu were shocked. Regardless of the man in black robe's impoliteness, they quickly asked:
"What do you mean?"
"Haha!" The man in black robe sneered, knowing that he had guessed it right.
"Do you know that Emperor Yu, the leader of the Yu Dynasty, has only been around for a long time. The top forces in the dynasty have long been dissatisfied with the royal family. They are ready to take action and are waiting for the day when Emperor Yu dies."
"Emperor Yu had already known about their ambitions, so he secretly mobilized his troops and sent half of the soldiers guarding the border to defend them at strategic locations in various states."
"So now you know why Ji Wushuang burned the food of your tribes."
"Um?"
What's the meaning?
King Tuo was listening to the man in black robe telling about the affairs of the Yu Dynasty, but why did the conversation suddenly change to Ji Wushuang's burning of tribal food.
King Tuo looked at his husband, Meng Gonglu, a little at a loss.
Fu Meng Gonglu frowned and fell into thought.
The man in black robe saw the expressions of the two men and sneered inwardly. Sure enough, they were both brainless barbarians.
“Haha, you still don’t believe it when I say you fell into a trap.
Ji Wushuang made your dynasty tribes lack food for the winter. He knew that you did not dare to take the initiative of the Yu Dynasty, so you would definitely take the ideas of other dynasties.
Ji Wushuang is about to be transferred away, so he wants several neighboring dynasties to start a war, and has no time to take care of the upcoming civil strife in the dynasty.
Just seeing your expressions, I knew that Ji Wushuang had guessed correctly. No wonder he left the Yizhou border with peace of mind. "
King Tuo was furious, slapped the throne, stood up and said angrily:
"I see, the people of the Yu Dynasty are indeed sinister and despicable!"
