Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 360: Using oneself as bait is really tempting!
Tingzhou.

Yu Gushe looked at the cavalryman who brought the second letter with an expressionless face.

Gelulu, Chuyue tribe, Chumi tribe...

These people actually joined forces to rebel!
They are so brave!
"Khan..."

Pizza Peel hesitated and asked, "Should we take the troops back and deal with the rebellion of Golulu and others first?"

Yu Gushe glanced at him and waved to the cavalry, who tactfully retreated.

Pizza Peel continued, "Now Xue Wanche of the Tang Dynasty has led his men to Wusu, and he has at least 10,000 elite soldiers under his command!"

"If they knew that the Gelulu tribe and other tribes were rebelling, Xue Wanche would definitely launch a large-scale attack on Changji, and even join forces with Guo Xiaoke in Yiwu to attack Tingzhou together."

"When we want to return to the grassland to quell the rebellion..."

Pizza Peel didn't continue talking because Yu Gushe's face looked already very ugly.

Yu Gushe was naturally very clear about the current situation.

Once the happenings on the grassland reached the ears of Xue Wanche or Guo Xiaoke, they naturally would not mind making things difficult for him and blocking his way back to the grassland, forcing him to watch helplessly as the various tribes on the grassland fought each other, greatly undermining the grassland's strength.

But at this time, Yu Gushe was reluctant to withdraw from Tingzhou and return to the grassland to deal with the tribes such as Gelulu!

He had been preparing for this trip south for a long time.

Now, only Changji and Tingzhou have been captured, while Gaochang, Yanqi, Kucha, Yiwulu and others have all fallen into the hands of the Tang Dynasty.

How could he be willing to accept that all his efforts were in vain and would only serve to benefit the Tang Dynasty?

"Khan."

Kunmuzhuo advised: "The Han people often say that as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. The grassland is our foundation."

"As long as we deal with the rebellion of the Gelulu tribe and other tribes, we can recuperate for a winter and continue to move south next year."

"If all the tribes on the grassland were to fight each other, there would be no one left to be used."

Yu Gushe sighed, "How could I not know the impact of the rebellion of the Gelulu tribe and others on the grassland?"

"But I am unwilling to accept this. I really am unwilling to accept this!"

"That's enough. Send a message to Zhubutuoer in Changji and order him to integrate Changji's troops and withdraw from Changji within three days."

"Yes!"

Seeing that Yu Gushe gave up the idea of ​​continuing to move south, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If they continue like this, their retreat will be cut off and they will become rootless duckweed!

Boom boom boom!
At this moment, bursts of drum sounds came from a distance.

The expressions of Yu Gushe and others changed instantly.

"Khan, it seems to be coming from the direction of the city gate!"

Yu Gushe's face was solemn. Has the Tang Dynasty already received the news?
It can't be that fast?!
"Report!"

"Report to the Khan, Guo Xiaoke outside the city invites you to fight!"

Invitation to fight?
As soon as these words came out, everyone frowned.

Soldiers who, deception also.

Now Guo Xiaoke is openly inviting a fight outside the city, which is somewhat unbelievable!
"wrong!"

"It's so wrong!"

"Khan, Guo Xiaoke and the others must have received the news and want to use it to stop us!"

Pizza Peel and others spoke up.

Guo Xiaoke had not sent out troops earlier or later, but just when they decided to pack up their belongings and take their people back to the grassland, he brought a large army to challenge them.

This is so unreasonable!

The most likely possibility is that Guo Xiaoke has heard about what happened on the grassland and wants to use this to stop them.

“The situation on the grassland may be worse than we thought.”

Yu Gushe took a deep breath and said slowly, "If we want to leave, Guo Xiaoke can't stop us. But now he is actively inviting us to fight. It is very likely that he wants to delay time and let the various tribes on the grassland completely fall into chaos."

"Pizza, you can take 3,000 soldiers and return to Futu City. At the same time, in the name of this Khan, invite the leaders of all tribes to Futu City for discussion. Anyone who fails to show up will be charged with treason!"

"Khan!"

Pizza Peel shook his head, "Tingzhou must keep someone to stop them. What will happen to Khan if I leave?"

"Why not let me stay and hold back Guo Xiaoke's army!"

"Khan, you are the king of the grassland. As long as you show up, the tribes on the grassland will be proud and will not dare to go against you!"

Yu Gushe frowned and said, "What you said makes sense, but if you stay, how are you going to get out?"

Pizza Peel smiled calmly: "If you can get away, I can return to Futu City. If you can't get away, the worst that can happen is that you and Tingzhou will live and die together."

"As long as the Khan can return to Futu City as soon as possible to take charge of the situation, people from the Golulu and other tribes will not be able to cause much trouble."

"Once the Khan has resolved the rebellion, you can send troops to help Tingzhou."

Yu Gushe looked at Pizza Peel deeply. If that was the case, Pizza Peel might have died here.

After a moment's silence, Yu Gushe said slowly, "In that case, you should stay in Tingzhou and buy time for us to return to the grassland."

"Two days, hold on for two days at most. No matter what the outcome is, you must lead your troops to break out and leave Tingzhou!"

"it is good!"

Pizza Crust nodded.

Yu Gushe said in a deep voice: "Kunmuzhuo, you must immediately dispatch 5,000 elite soldiers and leave Tingzhou with this Khan tonight."

"Yes!" Kunmuzhuo nodded and left.

Yu Gushe took a deep breath and said, "Let's go and see how many troops Guo Xiaoke brought."

Pizza Peel smiled and nodded, followed Yu Gushe and came to the city wall.

From a distance, they could see the troops led by Guo Xiaoke, at least 5,000 in number. These troops were only one-fifth of Yiwu's.

"Only 5,000 soldiers..."

Yu Gushe tilted his head and said, "It seems that they really want to contain us. They don't want me to return to Futu City."

Pizza Peel pondered and waved, and a soldier came over.

"Give orders to arrange thirty cavalrymen to leave the city in three directions and thoroughly search for any traces of the Tang army within thirty miles."

"Yes!"

The cavalry turned and left.

Yu Gushe said in a deep voice: "You are worried that Guo Xiaoke has already prepared people to prevent us from leaving Tingzhou."

Pizza Crust nodded: "Yes, if he has arranged the manpower, it will not be easy for Khan to break out."

"Report!"

"Khan, Changji sent an urgent message."

Yu Gushe raised his eyebrows and hurriedly took the letter from the cavalryman.

When he opened it, Yu Gushe's face turned gloomy and his anger rose.

Damn bastard!
They were not satisfied with having obtained Gaochang for nothing, but they even wanted to keep all of them!
"Khan?"

"Xue Wanche attacked Changji."

Yu Gushe sighed, "Zhu Butor is worried that the night will be long and he wants us to send a group of elite soldiers to attack from both sides and directly eat up Xue Wanche's 10,000 elite soldiers, leaving him no chance to escape."

Pizza Peel raised his eyebrows. Xue Wanche only had 10,000 elite soldiers. How dare he attack Changji directly?

Zhu Butor has more than 30,000 combatants at his disposal. If they face the enemy head-on...

suddenly.

Pizza Crust gasped, "Khan no!"

Yu Gushe looked over and Pizza Peel said coldly: "This is very likely done by Xue Wanche on purpose!"

Yu Gushe was stunned for a moment, then asked, "You mean to say that Xue Wanche used himself as bait to lure us into the trap?"

"Correct!"

Pizza Skin said in a deep voice, "Xue Wanche brought a total of 20,000 troops this time. Excluding the troops left behind in various places, there are only 10,000 elite soldiers. How dare he attack Changji?"

"Even if he has full confidence in his soldiers, isn't he afraid of the 30,000 troops of Zhubutuo coming directly to attack?"

Even though the troops under My Butor were transformed from cavalry to infantry, the advantage in numbers was enough to make up for the gap between the two sides and gain the upper hand.

Xue Wanche's unwise decision to send troops was obviously not intended to cause his own death, but for some other purpose!
"Once Zhubutuoer sends out his troops, Xue Wanche can still rely on the protection of his soldiers and retreat to Wusu!"

"If we attack from both sides..."

"Khan!"

The loud sound of pizza peel interrupted Yu Gushe's fantasy.

"If there is a 10% chance that Xue Wanche escapes back to Wusu, we will have no way out!"

Ten thousand soldiers might not be able to capture Changji, but it is not a difficult task for ten thousand troops to protect Xue Wanche and retreat back to Wusu!

But if they really take action and attack from both sides, then they will waste all their time for retreat!

They had no time to retreat, let alone time to pacify the Golulu and other tribes!

Yu Gushe clenched his fists and said helplessly: "It's really tempting."

If this plan succeeds and Xue Wanche is captured, then all the countries that Xue Wanche has taken over will become his possession.

However, if something went wrong, Yu Gushe would lose his chance to return to the grassland.

"Khan, Xue Wanche can gamble. Even if he loses, he will just give up Yanqi, Gaochang, etc. But if we lose the gamble..."

Pizza Peel said in a serious tone: "But we will lose the grassland as our foundation!"

"How can we resist the counterattack of the Tang army with only Changji and Tingzhou? It is undoubtedly a dead end!"

Yu Gushe looked at the letter in his hand again and threw it away helplessly.

Such a good opportunity, but he couldn't take a gamble.

If Xue Wanche loses, he still has a chance to turn the tables, but if Yu Gushe loses, then it’s really over.

"Khan, the Tang army is preparing to attack the city."

"Then let them attack the city."

Yu Gushe looked fiercely at the Tang army outside the city.

These damn bastards!
If it weren't for them, all the countries in the Western Regions would be in his pocket now!
How did it get to this point?
“Pizza, send someone to investigate what happened on the grassland and why the Tang army got the news so quickly!”

"clear."

Pizza Crust nodded.

The various tribes on the grassland rebelled, and then the Tang army suddenly took action to contain them. It all seemed like there was a mastermind behind the scenes, quietly planning and pushing it forward.

If someone really did this, then we must find that person, and then...

Get rid of it!
