Memoirs of the Heavenly Khan

Chapter 58: Stop pretending and let’s show off

Wuyuan.

Po Liu Han Kongque, who had suffered a defeat, was in a constant state of panic. It was not because he was afraid of being held accountable, but because his Po Liu Han tribe had lost a large number of soldiers and could no longer maintain a firm foothold in the Hetao area.

After waiting for a few days, Po Liu Han Kongque finally waited for his savior - the messenger of the True King!
"What does the True King say? When will the reinforcements arrive?"

The messenger of the True King was a middle-aged woman with an average appearance, but she was very attractive.

The woman looked ordinary, but if her last name was spoken, it would be enough to make many people drop their jaws in shock.

Yujiulu family!

"The True King's reinforcements can't arrive!"

"why?"

Yu Jiulu Qingyu looked at Po Liu Han Kongque and asked:

"Have you not noticed that ever since Li Chong led his troops into Shuozhou, the surrounding tribes have been ready to make a move?"

"I've noticed that, but both the Chile and the Xiongnu are fickle! Even if Li Chong wants to win them over, he doesn't have enough leverage."

Yu Jiulu Qingyu smiled gently, but what he said made Po Liu Han Kongque terrified.

"If they use you as a bargaining chip, that's enough! The loss of a thousand elite soldiers is enough to make all the beasts bare their fangs."

"If that's the case, shouldn't the True King send troops? If Wuyuan is lost, Woye Town will be cut off by the Wei army, and the True King will be in danger."

Po Liu Han Kongque looked at the woman, waiting for the answer from her.

"Do you think you're the only one facing this threat? The Hu Chen to the south of Woye Town, the Tiele tribes to the west, and the Rouran to the north all require the True King to deal with. After all, we have too few chips. If we're not careful, we'll lose everything."

When they rebelled, they were forced into a desperate situation by the Northern Wei court.

But even now, Po Liu Han Kongque still feels despair.

The situation seems to have never changed!
"Is there no way out for us?"

"There is only one way to survive, take Pingcheng!"

Yujiulü Qingyu's words were very certain, and this was also the consensus of all the rebels in the Six Garrisons.

"The True King said that the rules of the North have always been that the weak are eaten by the strong. Since you are weak, it is natural for them to want to eat you up. However, the current situation is not without hope. The key is to win over the hearts and minds of the people."

"how?"

"Win a victory!"

"Attack Li Shengui and capture Yunzhong?"

"The True King said that Li Shengui is just a chess piece. The important thing is to find the chess master and eliminate him to win!"

"Li Chong?"

Po Liu Han Kongque thought for a long time, thought of this name, and reacted.

"Is Wei Kegu going to take action? But even if he does, he may not be Li Chong's opponent!"

“Sometimes you don’t need a knife to kill someone!”

Yujiulü Qingyu slowly spoke out the words of Po Liu Han Baling, even though she herself was a little confused about the meaning of the words.

"What to do?"

"That's not your concern. The True King asked you to stabilize the relationship with the Chi-Le tribes and the Huaishuo garrison. At least, keep them stable until there's a victory in Shengle!"

"I see!"
-
Among the mountains, smoke of war rose.

A deep horn sounded in the prosperous Wei army camp.

Enemy attack!

Li Chong walked out of the big tent. Although he was nearly seventy years old and not wearing armor, he looked very strong.

Looking at the beacon fire in the north, he cried out.

"This is impossible!"

Li Chong set up beacon towers and garrisons in the mountains north of the military camp to defend against enemies from the north!

Wuchuan Town!
But now, the rapid lighting of beacon towers in the mountains can only mean that the speed of the enemy's advance has exceeded Li Chong's original expectations.

After calming down, Li Chong accepted this reality and had to accept it.

"Is Wei Kegu here?"

As a general under Po Liu Han Baling, Wei Kegu was both brave and wise.

Especially after he captured Wuchuan Town and gathered the soldiers from Wuchuan Town, the strength of his subordinates increased greatly!
His attack was obviously premeditated!

Hit fast, hard and accurately!

The danger has come. Li Chong asked:
"Where is my son Li Shuang?" "The governor of Mayi left with his troops a few days ago and his whereabouts are unknown."

After hearing this news, Li Chong lost all confidence.

There was no way. Most of the generals around him were brought from Luoyang, and there were only two hundred soldiers under his command, and few of them could fight.

"You guys lead the troops, guard the mountain pass, and try to delay Wei Kegu's advance!"

"promise!"

Since the early morning, the smoke of war has been lit, and by noon, all the garrisons set up by Li Chong to the north of the camp to control the road have been lost.

When the military intelligence came, Li Chong, who had been sitting behind the desk with his eyes closed, finally stood up and said something very calmly.

"Armor me!"

"Grand Governor!"

The generals tried to persuade him, but Li Chong was like a ferocious tiger, staring at everyone, his words filled with murderous intent.

"Today we will face the enemy head-on. The generals will be in the front, and I will lead the charge behind. Anyone who dares to fear the enemy in battle will be executed!"

The generals understood that it was time to fight to the death.

No matter how strong the generals' backgrounds in Luoyang were, no one dared to question or oppose them at the moment.

Because they knew that at this time, Li Chong really dared to kill people!

"promise!"

Li Chong’s idea of ​​defending against the enemy—build deep trenches and high fortifications to keep them out!

Fortunately, he was cautious throughout his life. When he first set up camp here, he did not slack off just because this was the rear, and he built defensive fortifications early on.

"The enemy is marching so fast, it can't be a large force, it must be several elite troops infiltrating the mountains!"

Li Chong's judgment was correct, because the enemy's actions soon confirmed his idea.

Wei Kegu's large banner appeared on the distant mountain pass, standing tall, as if mocking the weakness and incompetence of the Wei army.

Soon, the big banner was assembled at the mountain pass along with the army and advanced forward.

From the watchtower, Li Chong saw that in front of the Wei army camp's heavily fortified structure, under the large banner, a group of armored soldiers surrounded a burly general.

Dressed in Ming Guang armor, he was like a wild beast, leading his soldiers to charge continuously.

Unstoppable!

As the sun set in the west, the Luoyang Imperial Guards were gradually losing their strength, but Wei Kegu's army seemed to have endless energy and continued to advance.

"What a Wei Kegu!"

Li Chong is ready to use his last two hundred moves.

Two distinctive horn sounds rang out, but what Li Chong was waiting for was not news of reinforcements.

At the mountain pass, two more armies of Wei Kegu gathered, surrounded by two large flags.

One side is Heba, the other side is Yuwen!

Looking at the two flags, Li Chong's face turned pale and he said sadly:
"Is this the place where I will be buried?"

"Godfather, there's no need to be so pessimistic!"

Li Chong suddenly turned around and saw Li Shuang walking up slowly with a longbow in his hand.

At this moment, Li Chong found that he missed this little bastard so much!
"Where are your troops?"

"Only me!"

"Then what are you doing here? You might as well run away!"

"Godfather, don't worry!"

Li Shuang drew his bow and shot an arrow, which cut through the sky and made a sharp sound.

The situation on the battlefield changed drastically because of the sound of arrows.

Suddenly, there were many unusual movements in the surrounding mountains.

A dark cloud blocked the sunlight, and the earth became a little gloomy. The wind blew in from the mountains, bringing with it a unique freshness.

"Who are those people in the mountains?"

Li Shuang smiled.

"I forgot to tell you that besides being your most beloved adopted son, all the bandits and vagrants in Heng, Shuo, Bing, and Si states respect me as 'Big Boss'!"
