Chapter 117 The Jie Tribe’s Choice
The border area with the Soviet Union is extremely tense.
Xu Yan kept staring at the map, trying to figure out what was wrong.
Unfortunately, the border is too long! And there were no defensive measures at the time.
It can basically be said that the door is wide open. If the Jie tribe sided with the Su Kingdom, the Su Kingdom's troops would march straight through the Jie grasslands and reach Fengtian within three days!
It is one thing to express your passion, but if a fight really comes, you can't just rely on passion!
"What is the Jie tribe's attitude now?"
"Their attitude is very ambiguous. There is currently no unified opinion within the Jie tribe. After all, one can imagine the pressure that the approaching troops will put on them." Hu Ruoxue said.
"I suggest that we send troops to the Jie grassland immediately!" said Wang Zhuguo.
"But how do we hold it?" Cheng Jun looked at Wang Zhuguo in confusion.
"Let's occupy it first! Otherwise we will be in a more passive position!" Wang Zhuguo looked at Xu Yan and replied.
After thinking for a while, Xu Yan said, "I agree with Commander Wang! We must make our position clear! I order the Third Army to assign another armored regiment to the Jie grasslands! Suppress the resistance!"
Liu Fengquan now has a strong army, especially the armored regiment, which is full of armored vehicles. Liu Fengquan drools when he sees it! How great it would be if they stayed in the Third Corps!"
Three fully equipped Type A divisions, divided into three routes, advanced towards the political center of the Jie tribe.
The Jie tribe is experiencing an unprecedented split!
The State of Su had been operating under the control of the Jie tribe for many years. Hulensile, the younger brother of the Jie Khan, Chilejilang, had long wanted to defect to the State of Su. After all, it is good to lean on a big tree for shade.
The Jie people can now be found everywhere among the Su people.
However, Chi Le Jilang firmly opposed joining the Soviet State!
Of course, he also had no good impression of Xu Yan, especially the agreement signed by Xu Yan in collusion with the Soviet Union, which betrayed the interests of the Jie people! In Chi Lejilang's eyes, Xu Yan and Hu Lengsile were equal traitors!
He chose the Jiang Chao government far away in Tianjing and sought Jiang Chao's help.
Xu Yan's border guards were pressing in massively, and the entire Jie tribe was under unprecedented pressure.
"Khan! We can't just sit there and wait to die! We have to let these Chinese know how powerful we are!" Ji Jilang, the most powerful general under the Khan, said loudly.
"Ji Jilang, what are you doing?" Hu Lengsler asked.
"Your Highness! We can't let outsiders enter our grassland like this! I will lead our warriors and let them taste our power!"
"Are you sure?" Chi Le Jilang hesitated. He didn't want to offend anyone! He had limited troops in his hands. This was his trump card. Moreover, he was also on guard against his younger brother. He couldn't lose everything.
This Ji Jilang is really tactless! He actively proposed to fight at this time. Whether he fights or not, he will be in a passive position! What a reckless man!
"Khan! We, the Jie warriors, can only die in battle! We cannot surrender!" Jijilang shouted.
Chi Le Jilang had a bitter look on his face and cursed Ji Jilang's eight generations of ancestors in his heart.
Especially Hulensler, who looked calm and composed, just sitting there and not answering anything. Who knows what his younger brother might be planning!
"Hurensler, what do you think?"
If you don't tell me, I'll ask you! See what you say.
"Khan, what Jijilang said makes sense. I think General Jijilang can lead the royal army to test the strength of the Northeasterners."
"Okay, let's do this, Hulensler, you lead your troops and cooperate with General Jijilang to block the northeastern border guards at the Niqu River! Test their strength." Chi Lejilang looked at his younger brother with a sinister smile.
"Khan, I'm afraid this won't work. The equipment and strength of my troops are simply no match for the king's army! We can't just let our warriors fight them with swords and guns! Moreover, my army is small, with less than 500 old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers in total. We are really powerless! And my grandmother's cough has worsened today, and I really can't leave!"
Hulensler thought, you want me to be your cannon fodder! You are so beautiful! Bring out my grandmother, I will see what you can do to me!
The position of Chi Le Jilang was not stable to begin with. His grandmother extremely favored his younger brother Hu Lengsile. Although his father passed the throne to him, his father's sudden death made him very passive. This younger brother always complained about his grandmother, making him very miserable!
"Well, Jijilang, you lead 5,000 cavalrymen to stop the border guards at the Niqu River!" Chilejilang said helplessly.
He didn't notice that Hurensler and Jijilang actually looked at each other unintentionally!
He didn't know that his decision almost pushed himself into an irretrievable situation!
When Liu Fengquan arrived at the Niqu River, Ji Jilang had already set up camp on the other side of the river, blocking the way across the river.
Liu Fengquan looked through the telescope from afar. What were the Jie people thinking? They wanted to stop him with such a small force?
"Have you found out?" Liu Fengquan asked without turning back.
"Commander, we have everything clear. There are less than 2,000 people on the opposite side! All of them are cavalry!" said Chief of Staff Li Youlin.
"What are they thinking? Aren't they seeking death? Do they really think they can stop me with these two thousand cavalrymen?" Liu Fengquan said with some confusion.
"Yes, according to the intelligence we received, their Khan sent 5,000 people, but there are only 2,000 people here. The other 3,000 people seemed to have disappeared out of thin air!" said Li Youlin.
"Let's set up camp here and not move away. Let's see what tricks they have! Tell the two groups to strengthen their defenses and advance steadily. Don't be reckless! Keep a distance of ten miles and don't delay!" Liu Fengquan instructed.
There is nothing wrong with Liu Fengquan except that he is cautious, especially cautious!
The Jie Khan, Chi-le Jilang, knew nothing about all this and was still waiting for news from Ji-le Jilang.
Little did he know that Ji Jilang had not gone far at all! Instead, he led his troops north to the Soviet border!
His army will be armed by the Soviet Union here! After changing his clothes, his first thing was to go straight to the Khan's camp to assist Hurensler in ascending the throne and completely master the power of the Jie people. Then he could be crowned a king with a different surname! Hurensler had already promised him!
Xu Yan, who was far away in Fengtian, was called up late at night.
"Head of State! Something terrible has happened to the Jie tribe!" Chen Shuo said anxiously.
"explain."
"We have received the latest news that Jie general Jijilang and Hulensler have reached an agreement and have jointly surrendered to the Soviet Union! Their troops are currently receiving supplies at the border and will soon return to the Khan's location to rebel!"
"Chi Le Jilang doesn't know? Jiang Chao doesn't know either?" Xu Yan asked for no reason.
"Jiang Chao should know, but it seems that he has reached some kind of agreement with the Su Kingdom and gave up the Jie grassland!"
"That's targeting us."
