Early morning of the 28th of the eighth month.
Early in the morning, Du Qi had just finished his breakfast and headed straight for the military encampment in the city. After arriving at the encampment, he gave the order and the soldiers set out, leaving the provincial capital in a grandiose manner.
Yesterday, Du Qi had already received news that the King of Jieri's army was nearing the provincial capital in less than two days. Therefore, Du Qi led the army to Mount Mogao early in the morning.
After arriving at Mount Mogao, Du Qi's army quickly made preparations.
By noon, everything was ready.
Xue Rengui came to Du Qi's side and reported, "Your Majesty, the King of Jieri's army is at least two hundred and forty to fifty thousand strong. The army is majestic and aggressive. They are now less than twenty li away from our current location. In particular, the King of Jieri's elephant soldiers are very ferocious. One can feel the tremors of the ground from afar. It's very frightening. "
Du Qi said, "It's good that they're here. Let's properly meet the King of Jieri in this battle."
Du Qi's arrangements had been made.
Whether it was inside or outside the city, everything was ready and waiting for the King of Jieri's arrival. While Du Qi was waiting, the King of Jieri's army stopped sixteen li away to rest and reorganize.
The reason for this arrangement was simple. After a long and arduous journey, the soldiers were rather tired. They needed to rest and reorganize to adjust their fighting spirit. In particular, the King of Jieri himself already knew that Du Qi's position was at Mount Mogao, so he was in no hurry.
The King of Jieri, on the other hand, looked down on Du Qi's arrangements. Du Qi had run to a slightly higher hill to set up camp, thinking that he had occupied some high ground. However, such a high ground was completely useless.
Abdo was also by the King of Jieri's side. He said seriously, "Your Majesty, under the current circumstances, it shouldn't be difficult for us to win this battle. However, I believe that we cannot kill Du Qi. We must capture him alive. With Du Qi around, we can head north and kill our way to the Western Regions after pacifying the battle in Kenpo Province. In the past, it was inconvenient for us to go north, but now that we have Du Qi, things are much easier. "
In his heart, Abdo had already judged Du Qi's defeat. The King of Jieri's sixty thousand elephant soldiers. Throughout history, the King of Jieri's battles, he had never lost. Even if Du Qi's troops were good at war, human strength was too insignificant in front of a giant elephant. Especially when they met on the battlefield, the earth would tremble with every stomp of the elephant's feet. Xia Xia's troops would definitely be unable to withstand a single blow.
King of Jieri heard Abdo's words and said, "What you say makes sense. Keeping Du Qi alive is indeed more useful. Fine, we'll keep Du Qi alive for now. However, when we arrive, the elephant army will definitely lead the way. If Du Qi can't withstand this wave of attacks and is even killed by the elephant army, then it'll be a different story. "
Abdo laughed, "If that's really the case, then we can only say that Du Qi's luck is bad."
The two of them chatted casually.
And at this time, more and more Brahmin Clan Patriarchs arrived. These people's appearance was actually to show off their achievements and also to show their faces in front of the King of Jieri. After all, the King of Jieri was the most powerful person.
Although the Brahmin clergy were revered, the King of Jieri was of noble status and had great power. In particular, the sixty thousand elephant soldiers were enough to flatten everything and annihilate anyone who resisted.
The King of Jieri was old and shrewd. He naturally understood the Brahmin's intentions and agreed with a smile.
At this time, a soldier walked over and said something to Abdo. After hearing this, Abdo interrupted the conversation between the King of Jieri and the Brahmin. "Your Majesty, in front of us on our way, a Brahmin representative from the Capital of Kantuoluo has arrived. He wishes to see you."
The King of Jieri said, "Invite him in."
Abdo immediately gave the order and the soldier went to pass on the order. Not long after, a rather young man in his early twenties arrived. The young man was from the capital of Jianpo Province and was born into the Brahmin caste. However, when Tumana dealt with Du Qi, the young man's family did not participate because he was out on business.
After the caste system was abolished, he lost his power. However, he did not make a move and only cooperated. Now that Du Qi had left the city to fight and the King of Jieri had come, he personally represented the Brahmin families in the city.
The young man came to the King of Jieri and bowed, "Guru of Kenpo Province greets the King of Jieri."
The King of Jieri said, "Guru, tell me why you're here."
Guru said, "King of Jieri, I came to see you today because Du Qi's forces are no longer in the city. In the entire city, only Vadhara still has a certain number of troops, but Vadhara's forces are not much. The remaining Brahmin and Kshatriya castes in our Capital of Kantuoluo have more than 2,000 troops. We can take down Vadhara from the rear and directly close the city gate, cutting off Du Qi's retreat. "
After hearing this, the King of Jieri smiled and said, "Guru, although you're dealing with Vadhara for your own sake, it's not a wise decision. But even if it's for your own sake, you may not choose to take the risk. Tell me, what do you want to get? "
Guru said, "King of Jieri is wise and wise. I can't hide anything from you. My condition is very simple. After Vadhara is taken down, we'll occupy the city and cut off Du Qi's retreat and food supplies. After that, I'll be the new King of Kenpo Province. The rest of the people who follow me will be given their respective titles. "
The King of Jieri stroked his beard and said, "No problem. This King agrees. As long as you can seize the city, you'll be the King of Kenpo Province. But if you fail, everything will be impossible. "
After a pause, the King of Jieri said, "In fact, with this King's strength, defeating Du Qi will be easy even without you. In the end, taking down the city will be as easy as flipping my hand. "
Guru said with a straight face, "King of Jieri's kindness, Guru can't thank you enough."
The King of Jieri nodded and said, "Go and prepare. This King will be waiting for your good news. Of course, this King may be about to defeat Du Qi when you're instigating a rebellion in the city. "
Guru said no more and turned to leave.
He had to go back and inform everyone.
After Guru left, Abdo said, "Your Majesty, there's no need for you to agree to Guru's conditions."
The King of Jieri chuckled and said, "So what if I don't agree? It's not like we can arrange for people to be stationed in Kenpo Province. Once we divide our forces, it will weaken our strength. It's a good thing that Guru is willing to submit. "
Abdo didn't say anything after hearing that.
The King of Jieri and everyone rested for another quarter of an hour before giving the order to continue the journey. The army moved forward in a grandiose manner. This time, they rushed with all their might. In a short period of time, they arrived near Mo Gaoshan.
The King of Jieri's army was in formation and didn't attack for the time being.
He was sizing up the surrounding environment.
While the King of Jieri was sizing up the surrounding situation, on the mountain of Mo Gaoshan, Du Qi's position. Du Qi was holding a pair of binoculars and was sizing up the situation around the King of Jieri.
Through the binoculars, he could see the situation around the King of Jieri clearly. Du Qi even saw the King of Jieri. After all, the King of Jieri was at the front, and at the place where Da Wu was.
Du Qi saw the King of Jieri sizing up the surrounding environment, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. The battle between him and Tianzhu had begun. In this battle, he would completely defeat the King of Jieri and destroy the King of Jieri's forces.
