Zha Baiyu responded with his carbine in the rain. Although he was surprised by Qitat, he wiped out hundreds of enemies and returned victoriously.
However, the soldiers were soaked by the heavy rain. On the night they returned to the Xihan Mountain garrison, a large number of soldiers were infected with wind and cold. It can be said that the camp was full of patients.
In this case, as long as Qitat does not take the initiative to attack, it is already Amitabha, and it is impossible to attack Qitat again.
That night, Zhebai sent out a large number of sentries to guard against Qitat's surprise attack. After finally surviving the night, before dawn the next day, Zhebai quickly ordered the withdrawal of the troops and walked south for seventy or eighty miles. Finally, he encountered Qin Tiedan's men and horses.
Qiabai advised him to withdraw Horqin first and wait until Meng Ke redeployed his troops.
How could Qin Tiedan be willing to do so? His wife Yatu was colluding with others. This was a huge insult to him. It was intolerable but not intolerable.
Qin Tiedan refused to listen to Qi Bai's dissuasion and led two thousand soldiers and horses to the right-wing banner of Zalut. For two days and one night, he fought three battles with Qitat. On the first day, he gained a weak advantage and suffered 200 self-inflicted losses and annihilated 300 enemies. many. The next day, due to the small number of troops and the fatigue of the troops, they gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Under this situation, if Qin Tiedan was more rational, he should withdraw his troops immediately and make a comeback later.
But he was blinded by hatred. That night, he led his troops to sneak attack again, but was ambushed and lost more than 400 horses in vain.
In total, in two days and one night, Qin Tiedan lost a total of **100 men in three fierce battles, nearly half of them. Especially after the ambush at night, morale was low. Qin Tiedan had no choice but to withdraw his troops even if he was unwilling to do so.
Of course, Chittagong didn't feel well either. Although he won, after these few days of fighting, together with the casualties caused by Qibai's carbine, he also lost more than a thousand people, one of the six.
What's more serious is his blatant annexation of Zarut's right-wing flag. It aroused high vigilance among the surrounding Mongolian tribes.
Among them, Chabal, the leader of the Zalut left-wing tribe, was worried that he would fall into the same tragic fate as Kenzhehe, so he asked for help from the Alukorqin tribe in the west at the cost of 10,000 sheep and 300 horses.
Alukorqin is the strongest tribe among the nearby tribes. It still has 5,000 soldiers and horses. At this time, it is attacking the Haochit tribe further west.
When the news came that Qitat suddenly annexed the right-wing banner of Zalut in the east, Alukorqin Khan was worried about a fire in his backyard, so he had to give up attacking the Haqit tribe that was about to collapse, and hurriedly withdrew his troops to defend.
Qitat's military strength was comparable to that of Alukorqin. If he allowed such a powerful enemy to be around, he would not be able to annex other tribes. You must always be on guard against Chittagong attacks.
It happened that Chabal, the leader of the Zalut Left Banner, came to ask for help, and Alukorqin Khan Zhedi decided to send Chabal a favor.
Of course, he is not really so kind. If he can defeat Chitat, he will not only remove the major threat next to his bed, but also greatly increase his own strength.
By the time Kitat is destroyed, the Zarut left-wing flag will probably be almost used up. When the time comes, it will be effortless to annex the Zarut Left Wing Banner as well.
After considering these factors clearly, Zhedi decided to send troops immediately. Fight Chitat together with Chabal.
This made Qita, who had just experienced the battle with Zhibai and Qin Tiedan, miserable.
On the one hand, he sent people to contact the Haochite Department, hoping that Haochite could send troops from the west to attack Alukorqin;
On the one hand, he sent people to lobby Chabal, the leader of the Zalut Left Banner, and promised to give one-third of the cattle and sheep of the right-wing banner to Chabal, asking him to give up his alliance with Alukorqin. Work with yourself instead.
After many efforts and sending a lot of gold and silver treasures to Chabal's men, Qitat's envoy Zhahe finally had the opportunity to meet Chabal.
Under the cover of darkness, Chabal met Zhahe in his tent. Zhahe immediately followed Yatu's instructions. He said to Chabal: "Great Khan, you are wrong this time. You don't have to worry about us coming to attack you. Now the Great Khan goes to Alukorqin to attack us. This is inviting a wolf into the house."
Great Khan, the biggest enemy of our Princess Yatu and Great Khan Qitat is the Qin Army. Now that the Qin Army is strong, we have to deal with the Qin Army’s attack. In this case, we will only find ways to unite with the Mongolian ethnic groups. , to resist the Qin army. Great Khan, think about it, at this time we are still enemies of the Mongolian tribes, aren't we looking for death
A few days ago, our Qitat Great Khan sent troops to attack Kenzhehe of the right-wing banner because he insulted our Khan and the princess. At the same time, Kenzhehe also sent people to contact the Qin army in an attempt to attack us front and back with the Qin army. Our Great Khan Only then did he have to strike first.
Khan, look at Alukorqin, the Haochite tribe in the west did not offend him, but he bullied the weak and wanted to annex the Haochite tribe. If we hadn't suddenly arrived, the Haochite tribe would have been conquered by Alukorqin. Annexed.
Khan, the wolves on the grassland can never have enough to eat. Alukorqin is a wolf. Sooner or later, he will annex the surrounding tribes one by one, because none of you are Alukorqin's opponent. "
The messenger Zhahe's words made Chabal confused.
Nowadays, the grasslands are full of predators, and the big tribes are trying their best to annex the smaller tribes;
Alhorqin was looking for excuses to attack the Hochit tribe before, which is also an indisputable fact;
Just as the envoy said, when Alukorqin annexes the Haochite tribe, he will not let him go...
Chabal was worried that Qitat would annex him, so he was so sick that he sought medical treatment. After listening to Zhahe's analysis, he felt that Alukorqin was indeed a huge threat.
As soon as Zha He saw the hesitation on his face, he knew that his words had taken effect;
He quickly said: "This time you, the Great Khan, are uniting with Alukorqin's tribe. Do you know what their plan is? If we are gone, Alukorqin will definitely destroy the Great Khan's left-wing flag when he comes back. Annexed.
So please, Great Khan, think twice. We, Great Khan Qitat and Princess Yatu have a big feud with the Qin State. With Great Qin as a powerful enemy, we just want to unite everyone and unite everyone. We will never take the initiative to infringe on the rights of various ministries. , which is completely different from Alukorqin.
Alukorqin's wolfish ambition is obvious. Great Khan, I advise you to form an alliance with our Qitat Great Khan. Let's form an alliance to kill the wolf Alukorqin. The captives, horses, cattle and sheep will all be half of yours..."
Chabal sneered: "Can I believe you just by saying a few words?"
"Don't worry, Great Khan. As long as the Great Khan is willing to form an alliance with us, we, the Great Khan, are willing to form an alliance with you. We will share blessings and share hardships in the future."
Chabal is not willing to make any peace with Qitat. The Qin army and the Horqin tribe are desperately attacking Qitat. Although they have temporarily retreated this time, it is said that Meng Ke alone brought more than 10,000 troops, and there are also The Horqin tribe is not easy to mess with. If all the troops are gathered together, there will still be thousands of people.
What if Qi Te Te cannot stand it anymore and walks away, and then she and he form an Anda, isn't that a dead end
As a weak tribe struggling to survive in the cracks, Chabal was really in a dilemma. He refused: "Forget it about marrying Anda, you don't have to waste your breath. Alukorqin is a wolf, and you don't have any good intentions. "
Zha He did not give up and continued to persuade: "Great Khan, even if you can't trust our Qitat Great Khan, as you said, Alukorqin can't be trusted either. Great Khan, you and Alukorqin have formed an alliance and come to attack us together. Even if they win, it will be a tragic victory. The Great Khan will lose his troops and generals, making him even weaker. It will be easier for Alukorqin to annex the Great Khan.
It would be different if the Great Khan formed an alliance with us. As long as the two armies are facing each other and the Great Khan suddenly switches sides, Alukorqin's entire army will surely collapse. By then we will be able to destroy Alukorqin without any effort. Thank you, Great Khan. You can always leave your own strength to protect yourself, and even become stronger. Great Khan, comparing the two aspects, it is more cost-effective for you to always ally with us, do you think so, Great Khan? "
What Zha He said was heartbreaking. Indeed, if both sides cannot believe it, then it depends on which side it is more beneficial to cooperate with.
If it is true what Zha He said, the two armies suddenly switched sides during the confrontation, catching Alukorqin off guard. For Chabal, it is indeed much easier than joining forces with Alukorqin and Qitat to fight head-on.
Hearing this, Chabal was really moved. On the grassland, there is never a shortage of intrigues, betrayal and betrayal, because the living environment here is so harsh. To survive, one often has to throw morality aside;
Perhaps this is why the Mongolians use the wolf as their totem. Over thousands of years, wolves have evolved many characteristics that are conducive to survival in their struggle with the harsh nature: tenacity, wit, unity, patience, ferocity, cunning, courage, and perseverance. Not satisfied.
They will ambush, camouflage, besiege, surprise, and use every means possible to hunt their prey.
Genghis Khan and his golden family, the generation of Tianjiao on the grassland, took the wolf as an example and the wolf as their totem. It can be said that it was precisely because they possessed these characteristics of the wolf that they were able to use them vividly in various military activities. Using these characteristics of wolves, the fierce wolf flag they raised swept across the entire Eurasian continent invincibly. Established the largest empire in human history.
Chabal certainly knows this. There is more to the grassland than just being generous, loyal, and upright. There are also smiles hiding knives, betrayal, cruelty and cunning, because this is a world with the wolf as its totem.
When he realized that it would be more beneficial to him to cooperate with Chitat, the ferocious and cunning wolf nature in Chabal's body took over. He didn't want to look at other people's faces forever, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to grow stronger...
