Chapter 2730: Yelu Deguang united the Qiang, and the five generals of the Sui army fought against Yang Ren
After Abaoji committed suicide, the Qiang people also split into four factions. With the exception of the fleeing faction, the three factions, under the guidance and support of the Sui State, became hostile and opposed to each other, thus maintaining the peace of the seven counties of Haizhou. balance.
The three major factions, the Sinicization Faction, the Qiang traitor Faction, and the Hibernating Faction, have always been at loggerheads with each other, and they hate each other.
But now the three factions are gathered together, and they are quite harmonious with each other. It doesn't look like they were eager to kill each other not long ago.
When Yelu Deguang saw Yelu Ge and other four uncles who had betrayed his father, although he wanted to eat them alive, he had to smile and greet them, and even said against his will that he had let go and understood and forgive. The other person’s words.
Yelu Deguang felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart when he thought of compromising with these bastards, but in order to restore the country, he had to entrust the virtual snake with these enemies.
"Yellu Ge, Yelu Diela, Yelu Yindishi, and Yelu Anduan, you four old men are waiting for me. I will kill you sooner or later."
Yelu Deguang swore secretly in his heart, but on the surface he still looked smiling.
After all, his current identity is not a prince, but the leader of the Qiang people. But if he wants to unite the divided Qiang people, bravery alone is not enough, he must be resourceful.
Abaoji's eldest son, Yelvbei, saw that his always reckless second brother could now talk and laugh happily when facing his enemies. He suddenly looked like he had seen a ghost. Is this man really his second brother?
Yelvbei suddenly understood why both his father and mother chose the second brother instead of him, the eldest son. Whether it was martial arts, martial arts, or character, he completely lost. At least he couldn't be as shameless as the second brother. Change color.
After greeting the Qiang traitor sect, Yelu Deguang walked up to Yelu Bei and asked: "Brother, the fifth uncle and uncle who were further away came to the previous meeting, why didn't you come? But for the second brother Am I dissatisfied?"
Looking at his younger brother who was looking at him expressionlessly, Yelvbei felt a chill for no reason, and quickly said: "How could it be possible? Brother, it's because, because..."
Yelvbei originally wanted to find an excuse to fool him, but he hesitated again when he spoke. Then he gritted his teeth and confessed: "Yelubei did not arrive on time, please punish me, my lord."
After saying that, he knelt down on one knee.
Yelu Deguang was startled, then he helped Yelu Bei up and said with a smile: "The eldest brother is serious. If you care about my brother, how can the second brother punish the eldest brother for this? But please don't let it happen again."
)
Yelu Deguang did not use this to hold people accountable, but his words also contained a hint of knocking.
Yelvbei naturally understood what his younger brother meant. Now that the general trend within the Qiang tribe was clear, his younger brother Deguang had been recognized by most of the senior officials. If he still didn't know what to do and competed with his younger brother for the throne, he was really looking for death, so He took the initiative to bow his head and recognize his younger brother as his lord.
The reconciliation between Yelv Deguang and Yelv Bei's brothers also made Yelv Su, Xiao Dilu and other old people extremely happy, but it was a bit dazzling in the eyes of traitors like Yelv Lage. After all, the power representing Yelu Deguang has been further strengthened.
However, Yelu Deguang has publicly stated that he will never pursue their past mistakes, so he probably won't break his promise.
Thinking of this, Yelu Lage, Yelu Diela and other Qiang traitor factions felt at ease again.
“My lord, the madam is back.”
Hearing this, Yelu Deguang was overjoyed and immediately went out to greet him personally.
Yelu Deguang walked in holding his mother's hand, and everyone present, whether they were the dormant sect, the Sinicization sect, or the Qiang traitor sect, took the initiative to salute Shulu Ping. After all, without Shulu Ping, there would be no such event. The three factions of the Qiang people unified.
Shulu Ping nodded in return with an indifferent expression. At the same time, he was also observing the expressions of everyone present. When he saw that no one had any strange expressions, he immediately understood that his son had appeased this group of people and had initially completed the integration of the major factions of the Qiang people. , I was secretly relieved, and my eyes looking at Yelu Deguang were filled with approval.
“Well done, Deguang, thank you for your hard work.”
Seeing this, the haze in Yelu De's heart dissipated a lot. He had just pretended to be a snake with a group of enemies against his will, and his heart was full of negative emotions. Only his mother's approval could make him feel better.
"This is what a son should do as a leader of the Qiang people."
"Um."
Shuluping nodded approvingly and looked at his eldest son Yelvbei.
Yelubei shuddered subconsciously when he felt the current gaze. It was obvious that he was still in awe of his mother.
Shuluping did not reprimand the eldest son as usual, but praised the eldest son in a soft tone, which made Yelubei moved to tears.
After that, Shuluping beat up the four leaders of the Qiang traitors.
The combination of grace and power can make a force internally stable. The son of grace has already been given, and the next step is naturally power.
Among the Qiang people, except for Shuluping, the eldest sister-in-law, no one is more suitable to cooperate with her son to make a fool of herself and beat the brothers-in-law like Yelulage who betrayed Abaoji.
Yellu Ge and other Qiang traitor factions also felt guilty. Faced with Shulu Ping's beating, they did not dare to fight back even though they were blushing with embarrassment.
Shu Luping was also measured. After a brief beating, he stopped looking. After all, if he continued, he would not be beating, but would intensify the conflict.
“Next, Yelu Deguang will serve as the commander-in-chief and lead you to Xining to participate in the war. Please go down and prepare.”
)
After Shulu Ping issued the order, all the generals of the three factions of the Qiang people left one after another, except for Yelv Deguang who stayed.
Yelu Deguang thought his mother had something to tell him, but he didn't expect that Shulu Ping and what he said were actually arranging a way out.
“Queen Mother, don’t you have confidence in this battle?”
Yelu Deguang looked at the current situation with a puzzled expression and asked: "The Sui, Tuqiang and Qiang coalition forces have as many as 260,000 troops, while the Qin army only has 120,000 troops, and they have not been divided into two. The coalition forces should have a greater chance of winning. ah."
“If…”
Shu Luping originally wanted to say that the Qin army was united, but the three parties were not united, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said: "Wars are often lost before victory is calculated. Have you ever thought about whether this battle will be defeated?" , where should we, the Qiang people, go?”
After hearing this, Yelu Deguang's face suddenly turned ugly. He really hadn't thought about this. After all, he had been working hard for so many years and was now only one step away from the restoration of the country, so he couldn't lose this battle at all. Can't afford to lose either. After hearing what he said now, Yelu Deguang began to think about the issue of defeat, but the more he thought about it, the worse his face became, because he simply could not accept being inferior to others again after defeat.
So for him, if he loses the war, he will only have two endings, one is to die on the battlefield, and the other is to withdraw from Haizhou and find another place to establish his power.
No matter which of these two points it is, it is an unacceptable choice for Yelv Deguang, who has been struggling for so long.
But if it comes to the moment when he has to choose, Yelu Deguang will still choose the latter. After all, he is still so young and has unfulfilled ideals, so naturally he is not willing to die with regrets.
Looking at Yelu Deguang, who was turning blue and white, Shuluping knew that his son had thought of the key to the problem, so he said:
“We, the Qiang people, must win this battle, but we must calculate defeat before we win. What if we are still defeated despite all our efforts?”
“The Queen Mother is right. If the war is defeated, Haizhou will be occupied by the Qin sooner or later, and the Qiang people will be enslaved by the Han people again. This consequence is something the Qiang people cannot afford, and it is indeed necessary to prepare a retreat in advance.
If it really comes to this point, the son will lead the remaining troops to retreat to the Western Regions, carve out a world in the Western Regions, and rebuild the Qiang country. Yelu Deguang said firmly.
Shu Luping had guessed this a long time ago, so she was not surprised at all by her son's answer, but she said: "The Western Region is indeed a piece of fat, but the water is too deep, and we, the Qiang people, may not be able to grasp it.
The Sui Kingdom was facing the danger of national subjugation, and Yang Guang did not recall Yang Shuang who was conquering the west. The Qin Dynasty had also laid out its plans in the Western Regions early, and Yuan and Meng also showed signs of intervening in the Western Regions.
In addition to the Qin, Sui and Yuan Dynasties, there are also many forces in the Western Regions such as Ji Chang, Li Siyuan, and a group of locals.
Furthermore, if this battle is defeated, Yang Guang will die, and the Sui Kingdom will definitely be divided. By then, there will probably be several more forces in the Western Regions.
We, the Qiang people, have no foundation in the Western Regions. We rashly entered the Western Regions and competed with so many forces. Are we 100% sure that we can defeat them? "
Yelu Deguang does not feel that he is worse than Ji Chang and Li Siyuan, dogs with broken spines. He can definitely do even what they can do. But he has to admit that the situation in the Western Region is so complicated that even the current Qiang people It would be difficult for them to intervene, let alone the Qiang people after their defeat.
“Having lost Haizhou, we can’t go to the Western Regions. Even though the world is so big, where can we find a place for the Qiang people?”
Looking at his frowning son, Shuluping said, "Yes, Tubo."
"What?"
Yelu Deguang was shocked. He did not expect that the escape route his mother mentioned would be Tibet, an ally of the Qiang people.
"But Queen Mother, Tubo has completed the unification of the plateau area, how can it be used as a retreat for the Qiang people?"
“Compared to the Western Regions, Tubo is closer to Haizhou, making it easier to transfer people and materials.
In addition, the plateau area can be advanced, attacked, retreated and defended. Regardless of the climate or the land, it is in an invincible position and can be used as a long-term stable stronghold.
Although Songtsen Gampo unified Tubo, there were many internal hidden dangers and it was not a complete unification. The most important point was that the Tibetan army was weak in combat. One hundred thousand Tubo soldiers could not defeat the 20,000 Qin army. They must not be our Qiang people. Erlang's opponent. "
Yelu Deguang had never thought of plotting against Tubo as an ally before, but after hearing what his mother said, he suddenly realized that if it came to the last step, Tubo would indeed be more suitable for the Qiang people than the Western Regions.
And if he can obtain Tubo, he can use it as a base to gradually manage the Western Regions. It is indeed better than directly entering the Western Regions and competing with a number of forces.
But before the war started, he wanted to reserve a way out and plot against his allies. This behavior made Yelu Deguang feel disgusted from the bottom of his heart.
Looking at his struggling son, Shulu said calmly: "My son, abandon your useless kindness, it won't help you in any way.
In troubled times, if you kill others, you will be killed by others. Your father is the best example.
If you don’t want to be killed by others, and don’t want to end up abandoning your tribe and betraying your allies, then win this battle.
You will gain everything if you win, and you will lose everything if you lose, and become the kind of person you hate most. "
Hearing this, Yelu Deguang clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Mother, my sons and ministers will definitely not lose."
Whether you win or lose. Yelu Deguang thought to himself.
Seeing that his son became gloomy, Shuluping smiled: "Then I wish my son a great victory. Remember, after arriving in Xining, you must have a good relationship with the Tibetan generals."
“My son, I understand.”
With a heavy heart, Yelu Deguang led an army of 50,000 Qiang people to Xining to join the battle. He could not lose this battle and could not afford to lose, because once he lost, he would lose everything and start from scratch.
When Yelu Deguang arrived in Xining, the Tibetan coalition forces led by Yang Xingmi, which numbered more than 100,000, had already fought several battles with Meng Tian's 66,000 Qin troops, with both sides winning or losing.
Sui general Wei Chi Chong defeated Qin general Wu Ji in ten rounds, and then fought with Li Jue in thirty rounds. After he fell into a disadvantage, his friend Feng returned and came to help him fight.
Yu Chichong was General Yitong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the governor of Hengzhou, while Feng Hui was General Zhendong of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Both of them were outstanding among the first-class late-stage warriors.
Shortly after Li Jue broke through to the first-level divine general, he was defeated by the two men's combined forces. He was defeated and almost died, but was saved by Yang Ren.
Yang Xiong and Sui Fang saw that Yang Ren finally went to war, so he led Liu Fang and Liu Feng and his son to fight, preparing for five people to join forces to kill Yang Ren.
Liu Fangnai was Duke Lu of the Sui Dynasty, and his father Liu Feng was a famous general in the Northern Wei, Eastern Wei and Northern Qi dynasties. Both father and son were powerful generals at the level of **** generals, and they also inspired the combination skill "Bond and Flesh". Together, the father and son were no less than peak **** generals.
Coupled with the god-level Yang Xiong and the two best of the best, the five generals can completely rival the entry-level God of War.
Yang left it to his own devices and challenged the five generals Yang Xiong, Yuchi Chong, Feng Hui, Liu Fang and Liu Feng. The fight was very difficult at the beginning, and the battle lasted for 20 rounds with no outcome.
After the twenty rounds of the battle, as the effect of Yang Ren's "smart war" unfolded, the situation began to quickly turn against Yang Ren.
After Yang Ren completely gained the advantage in the battle, within just three rounds, he first killed Feng Hui and then Liu Feng. In an instant, only three of the five Sui generals who surrounded Yang Ren were left.
