Chapter 141 A great victory
Surileheke has considered this issue.
But he also received intelligence: "My spies reported that Yu Zhenzhou has left the border."
"Why did you suddenly come and leave?"
"Bars' elite soldiers disguised themselves as my soldiers and killed many caravans at the border. Have you seen any merchants from Tianxiang Kingdom come to your tribe to exchange goods recently?"
“I haven’t seen it in the past two months.”
Several tribal leaders looked at each other and replied.
"No one in the past two months, but he came yesterday."
Tuktan said.
"Yu Zhenzhou came here for this very reason." Su Ri Le He Ke said, "Bars intercepted the caravan and lured Yu Zhenzhou here, but he has not taken any action since Yu Zhenzhou came. I guess he is waiting for Yu Zhenzhou and me to have a conflict."
"There is no trouble on the border, so Yu Zhenzhou can't stay for long. After all, he is already the Duke of Tianxiang State, and there is an emperor above him."
Yu Zhenzhou's affairs were no secret among the core leaders of the Matan Kingdom.
Those in power are always suspicious.
"If we miss this opportunity and let the Bars be on guard, even if we force our way down, our losses will increase." Sulerheke continued to persuade them: "How about taking down the Bars tribe and dividing the spoils equally?"
This is tempting enough.
Soon, the leaders of several tribes agreed to go to war.
After leaving Surilehek's territory, Tuktan asked his confidant to pass a message to Bals: the cooperation was cancelled.
Unfortunately, this message did not reach Bals, but was intercepted by Yu Zhenzhou's men.
An internal war broke out in Matan, and Surileheke and several powerful tribal leaders started the war on the grounds that Bals had secretly trained elite soldiers and ambushed his elite troops.
When Bals couldn't get his elite troops back, he felt that something was wrong. At this moment, Ulihan was still in Qili Country, and he had no one else to discuss with. He was still thinking about writing a letter to ask, but Surilehek's allied forces had already broken camp and marched towards his territory.
Bals was shocked when he received the news from the spies. Tuktan, whom he had contacted secretly before, was also among them, but Tuktan did not pass on the message to him.
Rebellion.
Bals had no choice but to contact friendly tribes and secretly allied tribes to fight.
When Yu Zhenzhou knew that Surileheke was going to take action against Bals, he asked someone to forge a letter from Bals and send it to Ulihan.
The letter read: The plan has changed. I have found a perfect opportunity to join forces with Tuktan to defeat Surilehek and his ally.
The army has now been gathered and will soon attack the three border cities of Tianxiang. You should contact Du Mingxin, the king of Qili, as soon as possible and conquer the northwestern border city of Tianxiang within ten days. Take it down in one fell swoop and defend it to the death.
The two countries worked together to contain Tianxiang Kingdom and threatened the people. As long as Yu Zhenzhou could not take them back in the short term, these cities could be saved.
When Ulihan received the letter, he was shocked and delighted when he saw the contents.
It was he who suggested cooperating with Tuktan, and he was the one who persuaded Tuktan, so he subconsciously believed the contents of the letter.
Wulihan immediately went to see Du Mingxin with the letter.
Du Mingxin looked at the letter and hesitated for a moment. He couldn't help but ask: "Can you confirm the authenticity of this letter?"
"Confirmed. When our leader writes the word "Su", he habitually writes a dot on the right side of the dot. I have confirmed that the handwriting on this letter is correct."
I can only say that the people under Yu Zhenzhou are really amazing.
Du Mingxin summoned several of his trusted ministers, and after some discussion, they all agreed that this was an excellent opportunity, so the Qili Kingdom sent troops.
Among the people in the organization of the Northwest Garrison, two of them have already become Ranger Generals and have a say. They had received Yu Zhenzhou's letter a long time ago and were keeping a close eye on Qili Country. As soon as Du Mingxin's army moved, they knew about it and were ready to fight.
All men want to achieve great things.
Yu Zhenzhou had never left the northern border. Yu Min disguised herself as him and put on a show.
At this moment, he was hiding in Dong Shifang's tent. At the same time, he asked Dong Shifang and others to gather the soldiers in the name of exercise and wait for his instructions.
Dong Shifang and others were absent-mindedly directing the soldiers to practice combat.
On the third day, Yuzhou Town sent out troops.
When the assembly drum sounded, the traitor felt something was wrong and tried to pass the message on secretly, but was caught on the spot by Yu Zheng.
Yu Zhenzhou led his army straight to the heartland of Matan State. At this time, Surileheke and Bals were fighting to the death.
When the spies anxiously reported this news to the leaders of various tribes, they realized that they had been deceived!
As a last resort, both sides ceased fighting and turned to fight Yu Zhenzhou.
It was a pity that they lost the initiative. This time, Yu Zhenzhou penetrated into the hinterland faster and more fiercely than last time. When Su Rileheke had just returned to his territory, Yu Zhenzhou's army had already set up camp several miles away.
The Matan Kingdom does not have as many cities and high walls for protection as the Tianxiang Kingdom, so it can only resist to the death with human lives.
This is a fatal flaw, and it is also the reason why so many rulers of the Matan Kingdom have always wanted to invade the border cities of the Tianxiang Kingdom.
Surileheke, Bars and the leaders of several major tribes sat together, all with sad faces.
They fought with Bars and lost a lot of people. Yu Zhenzhou attacked suddenly, so this battle was very difficult.
After a few days of confrontation, Yu Zhenzhou was the first to express his position.
He demanded that the Matan Kingdom be held responsible for the killing of the Tianxiang Kingdom's merchant caravan some time ago, and that the annual tribute be increased by 20%.
Su Rile, He Ke and others discussed for a long time and felt that peace talks were more appropriate than a war.
Sulerheke pushed Bals out. In his opinion, all the disaster was caused by Bals.
The leaders of other tribes agreed.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Bals had no choice but to take all the responsibility.
Yu Zhenzhou took Surileheke's letter of surrender and Bals's compensation items, and returned to the border with his army.
When the Qili army was about to enter the territory of Tianxiang Kingdom, the northwest garrison of Tianxiang Kingdom caught the other side off guard.
In fact, the Qili Kingdom did not have any generals who were good at fighting. Most of them were descendants of generals or people who had passed the military examinations. They had never actually experienced the battlefield and could only talk about military affairs on paper and practice on the playground.
Although the situation in Tianxiang Kingdom was similar and the two sides fought like weak chickens pecking at each other, the Northwest garrison had Yu Zhenzhou's strategy and took the initiative. In just two days, Qili Kingdom lost nearly 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers.
The leading general of Qili State saw that Tianxiang State's northwest garrison was getting more and more successful and they could only retreat step by step, so he immediately sent a message to Du Mingxin, asking for instructions.
Du Mingxin was furious when he received the news and called Wulihan to question him.
Wulihan was speechless, unable to explain the reason, but he just felt that something was off track.
"This...is impossible..."
"Is it possible? The current situation cannot deceive anyone!"
At this moment, another urgent letter of 800 miles was delivered to Du Mingxin: the battle was badly defeated and more than 30,000 people were lost.
Du Mingxin was so angry that his eyes turned black. He ordered the guards to drag Ulihan down and put him in the sky prison. He also sent someone to send a message to the army in the front, ordering them to retreat.
A battle that started off well but ended badly ended here.
