Chapter 157 Baili is harmless
After Luo Shixin rode his horse away, he deliberately slowed down, as if he was wandering around, admiring the scenery of the grassland and listening to the roar of the eagles in the sky.
From Wang Xuance's mouth, Luo Shixin knew that some people in the Turks were good at eagle training and used the eagles in the sky to detect the situation. I don't know if the eagle geese in the sky were Turkic: there were too many eagles on the grassland. If each one was suspicious, then that would be fine, so he would just sing.
He only believed that he could not do anything to him by robbing and robbing, but he was not arrogant enough to stop 100,000 people.
Zhao Zilong's seven in and seven out of the world regarded the millions of Cao's army as nothing was in the novel. After all, he saw Turkic cavalry surrounding him and ran away decisively.
Chipiao was indeed fast enough. As he ran quickly, even the sharp arrow of Lisheng landed behind him.
After leaving the army, Luo Shixin immediately slowed down his speed and did everything he should do. The rest depends on Jie Li's own decision. If Jie Li followed closely, he could only choose to accept his fate and personally cover the retreat of the army behind the palace.
However, at his current speed, if Jie Li could not let go of his face, he would have fought this battle, or had seen through his plan and led his troops to continue to support Yuyang, he would have caught up with him long ago.
Now I can’t see the shadow behind me, so why is it self-evident? Luo Shixin’s mood is also refreshing.
This last glance, he had a bet right.
Based on the information Wang Xuance found out, Luo Shixin repeatedly analyzed and studied it over and over a hundred times, and confirmed something with certainty.
Like the Tang Dynasty, Jie Li attached great importance to Yuyang, a strategic location that coordinated with the Great Wall. The purpose of dispatching 100,000 this time was to protect Yuyang. As for whether to attack Youzhou, it was secondary. So they didn't even bring cattle and sheep, but only took barley and set off.
It is also based on this point that Luo Shixin boldly thought that as long as Jie Li feels that Yu Yang has fallen, he will lose his goal and lose his main motivation, and thus lead to the crazy idea of using a fake head to deceive Jie Li.
However, it is impossible to persuade Jie Li to retreat just by a head. There is no doubt about this. As a Khan of a nation, Jie Li has his own prestige and dignity. Since he has dispatched a hundred thousand troops, he cannot retreat no matter what. He goes empty-handed and will treat the dispatch of a large army as a joke.
In response to this, Luo Shixin followed suit and thought of the Xi tribe.
Before going to the expedition, he learned about the strength of the Xi tribe and knew the status of the Xi tribe on the grassland. The Xi tribe is located in Ruoshuizhou, Qilizhou, Luoguizhou, Tailuzhou and Huiyezhou. It is a relatively large tribe in the northeast grassland. It has 60,000 control men, the population of the whole tribe is about 300,000, and has as many as 500,000 cattle, horses, sheep and animals. Its strength is not as strong as the Turks, but it is also a powerful person. On the surface, it is because of the great power of the Turks. It is a grassland nation that is nominally surrendered, but the Turks do not have the power to order the Xi tribe to do anything. It is a grassland nation that is free from the Turks.
The reason why the Xi tribe was able to receive special treatment is undoubtedly because it had 60,000 string control men. Even Jie Li was unwilling to fight to the death with him. But now the Xi tribe has no leader. The five scattered tribes have only 20,000 soldiers and horses in total, and their strength is no longer as good as before.
The strong prey on the grassland. As long as the Xi tribe's miserable defeat spreads, they will face the annexed Jedi: the fate of the entire tribe was decided at the moment of invading the Tang Dynasty.
Anyway, sooner or later, the grassland people will be annexed, and Luo Shixin is also pretending to be a good person here and pretending to leak the information.
In this way, Jie Li faced two choices: whether to continue to go south or to attack the Xi tribe north.
Considering Jie Li's thinking, continuing to move south was futile. Yuyang had fallen into trouble. Not only did he plunder Youzhou, he would not only risk being cut off from the rear, but he was just picking up people: The Xi tribe has almost robbed, what else can he gain? As for attacking Yuyang, it is even more impossible. He didn't even have any siege equipment, how can he fight?
What about fighting against the Xi tribe?
That is the cheapest ones delivered to your door, including cattle, sheep, horses, population and weapons.
On the one hand, there is a battle without any benefits, and on the other hand, it is a cheaper one can imagine. Jie Li’s choice.
The choice of interests is also the biggest reliance of Luo Shixin's single cavalry meeting Jie Li.
He succeeded!
Jie Li thought that Yuyang fell, which confused the superficial interests, and gave up the victory and the strategic location of Yuyang.
To be on guard, Luo Shixin leisurely wandered on the grassland for an hour and a half. After confirming that Jie Li changed the road, he rode his horse back to the camp.
The attack on Yuyang continued, because there was no definite affirmation that the Turks would retreat, and Mo Hu'er, who was responsible for commanding the siege, did not dare to transition to the strong attack. He was just preparing for the strong attack, filling the moat, and expending some arrows found from nowhere in the high-rise road.
Luo Shixin's return made Xue Yong, Lei Yongji, Zhang Pinggao, Lu Junyan, Su Dingfang, Mo Huer and others who had been worried about his safety were ecstatic.
Looking at the few people, Luo Shixin smiled and said, "It's successful. Jie Li went north to attack the Xi tribe. We have enough time to deal with Gao Kaidao."
Cheers sounded, and Mo Hu'er smiled happily, "As long as I give it three days, I will capture Gao Kaidao in front of the general."
"General..." The steady Xue Yong's expression seemed very excited at this moment and asked hurriedly: "How did you do it?"
After they left the tent last night, they agreed to each other that when Luo Shixin's decision was dawn, they would return to the camp and wait.
Luo Shixin thought of the plan and had no time to inform them, so he took the heads of the chiefs of the five Xi tribes and found a Xi soldier with a big pie face. After doing all this, it was tomorrow.
In order to hurry, Luo Shixin issued an order to attack the city, but he didn't have time to tell the details and left directly.
They only knew that Luo Shixin had an idea, but they didn't understand what it was. It was not until Luo Shixin's abnormal movement spread last night that the generals vaguely guessed something.
Luo Shixin smiled and explained in detail the way he used false and real methods.
The generals suddenly realized and claimed to be convinced.
Lei Yongji sighed: "One cavalry retreated to one hundred thousand elite Turkic forces, and the general will be famous all over the world in this battle."
Zhang Pinggao also said: "The ability of the general is difficult to detect, and the ghosts are difficult to detect. This trick is so wonderful. Afterwards, Jie Li knew about the past and afterwards, but I am afraid that his intestines will regret it."
Xue Yong shook his head and said, "I can't help but regret, but he can take advantage of it. He has to take all the wealth left over from the Xi clan."
"This is also impossible!" Lu Junyan said happily: "The most important thing is to protect Yuyang, and everything else is secondary."
"The two generals are wrong!" Su Dingfang sighed and said, "You didn't understand the real beauty of the general's move. On the surface, the Turks took advantage of the Xi tribe. But in fact... The Xi tribe lives on the grassland, and they can't fly or run away. The grassland people's survival of the weak is the eternal truth. Even if the Turks do not take the Xi tribe today, the Xi tribe will destroy the Turks in the future. The ending is actually the same, it's just a matter of time. Now the general uses something that originally belonged to the Turks to tempt Jie Li to give up Yuyang. In fact, they have not made any profit at all, but have lost the strategic location of Yuyang."
Lu Junyan and Xue Yong were stunned one after another and suddenly realized.
Luo Shixin continued to laugh and said, "Actually, there is another point. If the Turks attack the Xi tribe in the future, he will probably send his confidant tribes to divide the power of the Xi tribe to strengthen his own power. Now, he will go now, and all the accompanying tribes will have to share the pie, which is equivalent to weakening the strength of the Turks in disguise, with no harm in all benefits. When he realized it, Yuyang would have been our bag."
As he said that, he raised his whip and said loudly: "Our mission is only one Yuyang City at the moment! Take it down for me within three days!"
"No!" The generals accepted the order in unison.
Su Dingfang proposed at this time: "General, Gao Kaidao knew that the Turkic reinforcements were coming soon and his morale was strong at present. It would be better to temporarily suspend the offensive first, and then tell them the news of the Turkic retreat, disintegrate their morale, and then attack the city in large quantities."
"Good idea!" Luo Shixin praised with a smile: "During this rest time, we can build more siege equipment to further reduce the casualties of our army. If we can take Yuyang at the lowest price, then there will be no more. Just decide, Hu'er, retreat the siege troops, General Lu and General Zhang, you are responsible for building some siege equipment for siege."
"No!" Mo Hu'er, Lu Junyan, and Zhang Pinggao took the order in unison.
It has been six consecutive days, and Luo Shixin has not had a good sleep. Now that everything is wrong, he can't help but yawn, intending to return the account to rest. Suddenly, he remembered someone and called Lu Junyan and said, "General Lu, that scout is yours. This time he can force the Turks to retreat, and the information he found was of great significance. If you ask him to come to me at night, I want to thank him in person... I will go to bed first, I will ask you about the matter in the camp."
They all knew Luo Shixin's hard work and watched him respectfully return to the commander's tent.
After sleeping for several hours, Luo Shixin didn't wake up until the night came.
He was so comfortable that he was stretched and asked the personal soldiers outside the tent to fetch water to wash his face.
After finishing the washing, the guards who took the water down suddenly stopped walking: "A scout named Wang outside the tent has been waiting for a long time, and it is said that it was called by the general."
Luo Shixin slapped his head and said, "I'm all asleep, hurry up, invite him in."
Wang Xuance walked into the commander's tent again, feeling not as excited as before, but his admiration was ten times more serious. The ordinary servants didn't even know the news that the Turks came, but as the person involved, Wang Xuance clearly understood the feats of his idol today, and he felt a sense of enthusiasm.
"Sorry, I've overslept. I've made you wait for a long time." Luo Shixin scratched his head awkwardly and asked him to sit down and talk.
Wang Xuance bowed deeply, "The general was tired for the Tang Dynasty for many days, so it was not wrong to sleep more often. After completing the task, he was free, so the general didn't have to mind."
Luo Shixin looked at Wang Xuance and said, "I don't know what your name is yet. Judging from your words and behavior, you don't look like a soldier, but you're a little bit scholarly."
