Chapter 4 Divergences

Chapter 4 Differences

When Pei Yun heard that there were only a dozen reinforcements, he pale and asked tentatively: "Master Qin is talking and laughing?"

Changsun Sheng said with a stern face: "I didn't joke. Lord Pei, wait until the details are in the city."

"Yes, please invite the envoy of the Qin envoy!" Although Pei Yun was disappointed, he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction when facing the envoy, and respectfully invited Changsun Sheng and his group to his prefect's mansion.

When he arrived at the prefect's mansion, Pei Yun asked his left and right personnel to retreat. Changsun Sheng expressed his true purpose of coming here. When Pei Yun heard that the King of Han personally led the army to rescue him, he was truly relieved.

"Mr. Pei, in order to prevent the Turks from discovering the mobilization of our army, the King of Han could only advance secretly. It is estimated that it will take at least half a month to get in. During this period, the officers and soldiers of Mayi need to drag the Turks and the rebels under the city. Otherwise, if Mayi is captured or the Turks return to the grassland, it will be considered a failure."

After hearing Changsun Sheng's request, Pei Yun was full of bitterness. He then realized that although there were rescuers, it added more difficulty to him. Not only did he still have to block the Turks for more than half a month, but he also wanted to prevent the Turks from leaving early.

Pei Yun cried out in pain: "My envoy, although there are only 5,000 soldiers in Mayi City, if the Turks have been attacking the city, even if the lower officials die without regrets in order to complete the emperor's mission, they will die. However, if the Turks cannot capture the city, they will leave early. The lower officials really can't think of any way to stop them from leaving."

"You don't have to worry. I will go to the Turkic camp tomorrow, which can at least delay the Turkic attack for several days. You only need to hold on for about ten days."

"I am going to go to the Turkic military camp?" Pei Yun was very surprised. The Turkic people seemed very simple and hospitable when they were docile, but once they turned against each other, they turned into devils and didn't blink.

"No," Changsun Sheng smiled faintly in his heart when he saw the expression on Pei Yun's face. Most of his best time in the past twenty years was left on the Turkic grassland. Who can know more about the Turkic people than him? Although it is impossible to achieve success in one battle this time, it is just that compared with the endless ways of overthrowing, helping up, knocking down, and helping up again, Changsun Sheng still agreed with the New Emperor's opinions more. The Turkic people are just unfamiliar wolves, and they have to hit hard when they have the chance.

"Then I wish you a smooth journey." Seeing Changsun Sheng's calm expression on his face, Pei Yun was not good to persuade him. Besides, Changsun Sheng went to the Turkic military camp, even if he was killed, he would not blame him. If he really could get a few days, it would be better.

In the Turkic camp, in the largest tent in the middle, the most elite Golden Wolf Cavalry of the Turks guarded the iron barrel of this tent. Many Turkic special forces were subject to strict inspections when entering and leaving. This is the camp of the Eastern Turkic Khan.

The tent is more than ten feet wide and more than two feet high. It can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time. The wind outside is cold and the tent is warm as spring. Turkic Khan Tuli is on the desk, holding an amber-colored wine in his hand. The wine is obviously extremely rare. Even Tuli dare not drink it in one sip. He can only drink it in small sips. Under the Turkic Khan, there are dozens of cases in a row. After each case, a Turkic man was sitting, pulling the fat sheep on the desk with his hands, and occasionally drinking the white horse-milky wine in the bowl in one breath.

These people are undoubtedly Turkish nobles. Each of them is covered with thick wool carpets, with oil candles lit around with thick arms, and the brazier in the middle makes a crackling sound. Several pretty Chinese women were almost half naked and dancing in the middle, drinking. The Turkish nobles who were eating meat glanced at the Chinese women dancing in the middle from time to time and laughed.

Several dancing Chinese women blushed on their faces, and they were reluctant to cover up the exposed areas of their bodies with their hands. However, their movements were a little slow, and a loud bang was heard, and a black whip came over. A red mark was immediately left under the snow-white skin of the whipped Chinese woman.

A Turkic man's awakening voice sounded: "Bitch, don't stop if you don't want to die."

Several women shed tears of humiliation on their faces, and their movements suddenly accelerated again, and the Turkic laughter sounded again.

"Stop jumping, like a dead person, go down, go down." Tuli Khan's voice suddenly became wild.

"Uh." The laughter in the camp was interrupted immediately. Several Han women were as if they were pardoned and rushed out of the luxurious camp. All the Turks looked at their khan. They saw Tuli's eyes staring fiercely at an old man next to him. The old man was tall, with a yellow beard and a tall appearance, but his whole body was armored, and the style of armor was exactly the same as that of the Sui army.

Facing the anger of the Turkic Khan, the old man was not afraid at all. He drank a sip of the wine in his glass and asked calmly: "Dear Khan, can the singing and dancing just now not catch your eyes? But that's right. Khan has visited Daxing City and watched the singing and dancing performances in the palace. The singing and dancing just now are not even as good as the folk first-class people. How can Dahan be attracted to it? However, as long as he captures a few more big cities, even if Dahan can't watch the singing and dancing in the palace, I promise that he will never be much worse."

"Hmph, Ben Khan's tens of thousands of troops are not here to watch the songs and dances. Murong Sanzang, your people have been here for two days, why haven't you started to attack Mayi City?

It turned out that the old man was Murong Sanzang. After hearing the sudden question, Murong Sanzang seemed to be indifferent: "Khan, it seems that the army of your army came to Mayi City first, why didn't your army launch an attack?"

"You..." Tuli was suffocated. The Turks came and went like the wind, but there was no good way to attack the city. The city of Mayi was high and thick. If you wanted to attack hard, you would have to pay at least the price of thousands or even tens of thousands of Turkic warriors. This price could not be afforded for Tuli, so you only had to give up after a tentative attack. However, if you did not conquer Mayi, even though the material plundered from those counties was rich, the harvest would be considered barely for tens of thousands of troops.

Tuli held his troops and waited for Murong Sanzang's army to come, and he also took the opportunity to weaken Murong Sanzang's strength. Whoever wanted to send troops this time was at Murong Sanzang's request, of course he had to pay the price.

Murong Sanzang was a traitor and naturally knew what Tuli was going to do, but he had to rebel against the Sui Dynasty. He didn't have to think about it. The new emperor would not let the Murong family go. If he didn't raise an army, he would have to die. However, he was unwilling to become a vassal of the Turks. The Turks could make a fuss and leave, but Murong Sanzang wanted to take root in this land. Of course, it would not be possible to rely on the power of the Murong family alone. Only by firmly dragging the Turks into this sudden disaster can one severance.

In this case, Murong Sanzang certainly had to delay time as much as possible. Taking advantage of the fat meat of Mayi, the Turks would hang the Turks. As long as the Turkish army missed the opportunity to return in winter, the Turks would have to stay in the Central Plains and become an important force for him to rely on. The two sides had a dispute over the time of attacking Mayi. Tuli wanted Murong Sanzang to attack Mayi immediately and break through Mayi as soon as possible, so they could return to the grassland after robbing them. However, Murong Sanzang used the excuse of being exhausted from the troops and lacking enough equipment and needed to rest for several days.

"Mr. Murong, don't forget that you begged us to send troops. We have no patience to continue to waste. If you don't attack Mayi and wait for our army to return, don't find us again in the future." A special service threatened.

"Okay, I'll send troops tomorrow." Murong Sanzang knew that he could not delay any more, otherwise he would backfire if the Turkic army left on his own.

"Mr. Murong, how much time does it take for you to capture Mayi? The men can't wait to go in and have a happy relationship." Seeing Murong Sanzang agree to attack tomorrow, his face suddenly calmed down. However, in order to prevent Murong Sanzang from being cheated, he had to set a new period for Murong Sanzang.

The words of Turks immediately caused the laughter of other Turkic nobles in the tent. Murong Sanzang quickly thought about it. If it was too long, the Turks would definitely be unsatisfied. If it was short, his subordinates would definitely suffer heavy casualties and injuries. And if they really captured so early, the Turks could slap their butts and leave after robbing them, which would be unworthy.

"If there is support from the elite Golden Wolf Cavalry of Lord Khan, I promise to take down Mayi City within ten days."

"Ten days?" Suli calculated. It was not too late to return to the grassland after robbing this time: "Okay, it's only ten days, but Ben Khan's Jin Jue Cavalry cannot attack the city, and can only suppress the archers on the city."

"Of course, it's enough to suppress the opponent's archers. How could I ask for the Jin Fierce Cavalry to attack the city?" Murong Sanzang said readily.

The gloomy voice of the Turkic nobleman just now came: "Mr. Murong, what if he cannot break through Mayi City in ten days?"

"If we cannot break through Mayi within ten days, I am willing to pay Khan Jingshi 50,000 pieces, cotton 50,000 pieces, and 200,000 stones of grain as a gift, what about?"

"Ah." The Turkic nobles present were frightened by Murong Sanzang's big moves, and Tuli laughed: "Okay, please feel free, that's it."
