Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2455 Yelü Deguang's Northward Journey: A Single Move Affects the Whole Situation
On the city wall, Su Qin began to leave. Now that it was confirmed that Nurhaci's side had officially joined the war, his mission was complete, and it was time to go back and report.

Xuan Ye watched Su Qin's departing figure, a hint of coldness imperceptibly flashing in his eyes. This wasn't directed at Su Qin, but rather at the current situation of their Manchu people.

The Manchus of today seem to have used their last bit of strength to defeat the northern enemy during the war against Yan, and then rested for more than two years.

Now, not only have they swallowed a large piece of the pie from the dying Luan Di tribe, but barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Beiping Road will also fall into their hands.

It appears to be in a state of rapid development overall, but in reality, it is in a situation of internal and external troubles.

Needless to say, if the Luan Di tribe were to be completely defeated, they would be the first to suffer. Moreover, they would also be subject to the constraints imposed by the Han Dynasty.

Internally, the conflict lies between the Aisin Gioro family and the Wanyan family.

The two families had actually been living in relative peace for a long time. Although the power of the Wanyan family and Wanyan Aguda's prestige in the army were indeed a hidden danger, this problem had never been brought to the forefront before.

Moreover, the Aisin Gioro family had been trying to eliminate this potential threat by gradually weakening Wanyan Aguda's prestige in the army, employing a strategy of slowly eroding his influence.

For example, in the battle during the Han Dynasty's conquest of Yan, the Aisin Gioro family led the army, directly abandoning Wanyan Aguda, who was the top general.

However, not long ago, this hidden danger was finally detonated, and the one who detonated it was none other than Tuoba Changping of the Tuoba tribe.

Clearly, the other side wanted to use this to cause them to fight amongst themselves, so that the Tuoba tribe could annex the Luandi tribe as independently as possible.

They might even try to take action against the Manchus if possible.

Tuoba Changping's favorite approach was to combine the battlefield with things outside the battlefield, and even to solve problems through methods outside the battlefield.

When dealing with the Zhenbei Army, they went through a long process of dividing and winning them over beforehand. This time, the same approach was taken against the Manchus. They immediately targeted the biggest hidden danger within their ranks.

Of the two from the Northern Di, the one from the Golden Horde preferred to resolve issues on the battlefield, while the one from the Tuoba tribe was much more cunning.

It was precisely because the other party brought up and ignited this conflict that the Aisin Gioro family's series of suppressions against the Wanyan family were forced to temporarily stop. They could only proceed slowly and even try to appease the other party temporarily.

After all, for the Manchus at this stage, internal strife would be tantamount to self-destruction.

Therefore, the Manchu people are now facing difficulties both internally and externally, and if they are not careful, they may very well end up in a situation where they have no chance of survival.

"You brat! Nurhaci, that brat!"

"How dare he do this?" When the news reached Zhongping Road, Yelü Abaoji, who had initially been delighted by Nurhaci's military expedition, was enraged and kicked over the table in front of all the officials and civil servants. The current situation was truly dire for them.

Nurhaci's participation in the war not only meant that they had another enemy, but also that the Beiping Road was in imminent danger and could be lost at any time. For them, the latter was the most troublesome thing.

Beiping Road, being the most easily defensible and difficult-to-attack road for the Eastern Yi, meant that losing it meant losing their last base from which they could put up a last stand.

Moreover, losing Beiping Road also meant that they were completely cut off from the plateau. Even if the envoy he sent could bring down reinforcements, those reinforcements would not be able to reach them.

Moreover, given Nurhaci's involvement in the war, would Gaoyuan be willing to send reinforcements after receiving the news?

After all, with Nurhaci already on the opposing side, how much weight did their ally still carry in the hearts of the plateau?

Or rather, given the current situation, in the hearts of the people of the plateau, who carries more weight, Nurhaci or them? Among the Eastern Yi officials present, the answer to this question was not optimistic.

"Your Majesty, this humble general requests permission to return to the aid of Beiping Road and will surely slay those treacherous wolf cubs of the Northern Barbarians!" General Tie Lei Babao angrily requested permission to fight.

His hometown was also in Beiping Road. At this time, Tie Lei Babao was also very angry about the invasion of Beiping Road by the Northern Barbarians.

Although the Tie Lei family is just a small family, precisely because it is a small family, most of its members are concentrated in their ancestral home, unlike those large families where their members are spread all over the country.

With Beiping on the verge of collapse, how could he sit idly by?
"Father, Beiping Road must not be lost. Before Aisin Gioro Xuanye has completely taken over Beiping Road, we must find a way to defend the remaining part! Let your son go!" Yelü Deguang said very clearly.

In such a short time, Xuan Ye's troops have not yet taken over all of Beiping Road. It is unrealistic for them not to mention taking back the entire Beiping Road!
However, at least some connections must be preserved; the link with the plateau cannot be completely severed. This is crucial for the Dongyi people.

"At most, I can give you 20,000 troops!" Yelü Abaoji sighed.

Their forces are currently stretched thin. The forces in Zhongping Road were already at a disadvantage, and they couldn't even find a way to transfer troops from other places in time. Or rather, they had already exhausted all available troops from other places. Otherwise, the vast Beiping Road wouldn't have only 40,000 garrison troops.

Under such circumstances, even if Yelü Deguang were given 20,000 troops, he would still be risking Yelü Abaoji's life!
"Twenty thousand! That's enough!" Although Yelü Deguang was heavy-hearted, he still appeared confident on the surface.

After all, he was well aware that this was the greatest support Yelü Abaoji could give him.

Since Beiping Road was already in imminent danger at this time, every day of delay would worsen the situation there.

For this reason, on that very day, Yelü Deguang dispatched 20,000 troops from the main camp, who rode in troop transport vehicles to Beiping Road at breakneck speed to stabilize the situation.

However, Nurhaci's betrayal of Yelü Abaoji had far more than just the impact of the Beiping Road; it had a far-reaching and domino effect.
