Around seventy thousand Turkic soldiers were setting up camp.
The way the Turkic Khaganate set up camp was simple, but with Zhao Dengyan around, he made sure that the layout of the camp was very strict. There were soldiers guarding the camp, making it impenetrable. After making all the arrangements, Zhao Dengyan went straight to the command tent. After standing still, Zhao Dengyan bowed and said, "Khagan."
"Sit!"
Tong Yehu's face was filled with anger.
But he was still furious. He was the mighty Khagan of the Western Turks, the most authoritative figure in the Western Regions, but when he attacked Du Qi's camp, he hadn't been able to harm a single hair on Du Qi's soldiers.
However, more than a thousand of his soldiers had been killed, and many of them were injured. Tongyehu found it hard to remain calm whenever he thought of this.
Zhao Dengyan thanked him and sat down. He said, "Khagan, the defense of the camp has been arranged properly."
Tongyehu said, "Mister Zhao, you can just leave the arrangements to your subordinates. There's no need for you to do it yourself. Your first task is to think of a strategy to defeat the enemy. "
Zhao Dengyan said, "Khagan, if we don't arrange everything properly, the defense of our camp won't be strict. If Du Qi's army launches a sneak attack, we might be forced into a passive position. Thus, the defense of the camp must be carefully arranged. "
After pausing for a moment, Zhao Dengyan said, "Ever since I returned, I have been thinking of a strategy to defeat the enemy. Right now, I have indeed thought of a way to break the stalemate. "
Tongyehu stood up with excitement and anticipation. He said, "Tell me, how do you plan to break the defense of Du Qi's camp?"
Zhao Dengyan said, "The simplest method is to arrange for a herd of sheep to charge at the front. When they step on the ground, there will be an explosion. At the same time, if a flock of sheep were to charge forward and step on the ground, once the mechanism is triggered, Du Qi's setup will be destroyed. "
"In my opinion, Du Qi must have set up some kind of mechanism outside the camp, causing our soldiers to be injured or die outside. As long as these mechanisms are triggered, it will be easy for us to charge into the camp. "
Zhao Deng said, "Once we break Du Qi's defense, everything will be easy."
"Wonderful!"
A bright smile appeared on Tongyehu's face.
Zhao Dengyan's method perfectly solved all the problems, allowing the Tongyehu to attack with all his might.
Tong Yehu stood up and said, "Let's go. We'll gather the flock of sheep and attack. I want Du Qi to know the consequences of offending Ben Khan. After I take him down, I will make him beg for death. "
Zhao Deng said, "Khan, although the officers and soldiers in our army have brought dry rations and preserved meat, they are still very weak. However, he did not have a sufficient flock of sheep at the moment, so he needed to gather them from everywhere. Moreover, if we want to break the formation, we won't be able to do it without hundreds and thousands of sheep. Just collecting the sheep would take at least ten days to half a month. After all, there aren't many herdsmen around. "
Tong Yehu frowned and said, "That's too slow."
Zhao Deng said, "Although it's slow, we have no other choice now. If we can't break the formation, we won't be able to kill our way into Du Qi's camp. Otherwise, the soldiers would have to use their bodies to pave the way. This kind of loss is not worth it at all. "
Tong Yehu rolled his eyes and suddenly said, "What if we use war horses?"
"Khan, you can't!"
Zhao Deng's eyes widened when he heard this. He had a look of disbelief.
Was Tong Yehu crazy?
Using war horses to pave the way?
Zhao Deng shook his head and said, "Using war horses to break the formation is too great of a loss. Although we have enough war horses in our army, the problem is that losing a war horse is equivalent to losing a cavalryman. Especially for breaking the formation, without thousands of war horses, we won't be able to deal with all the traps outside Du Qi's camp. Therefore, using war horses is not worth it. "
Tong Yehu said, "According to your plan, it's too slow."
Zhao Deng said seriously, "Khan, although it's slow, it's steady. Moreover, we can arrange for people to spread rumors during this period to make the people of Gaochang and Yiwu City panic. We'll say that Du Qi can't hold on anymore. In addition, we can also understand Du Qi's situation in detail so that we can target Du Qi. In short, although we won't attack for now, it's not a bad thing. "
Tong Yehu squinted his eyes and carefully examined Zhao Deng. He said in a deep voice, "Mr. Zhao, ten days to half a month is too long. Ten days, within ten days, I want to gather all the sheep. "
Zhao Deng said, "I can only do my best."
Tong Yehu said, "You must do your best. In addition, I authorize you to mobilize the troops to gather the sheep of each household and recruit all their sheep. As long as we recruit the sheep of the people, we should be able to gather enough sheep in ten days at most. "
Zhao Deng said, "How much compensation should we give?"
"Compensation?"
Tong Yehu snorted and reprimanded, "There's no need for any compensation. There's no need for any compensation. You can just make the arrangements. Kill all the people who dare to disobey. It's their honor to be able to support me. "
Zhao Deng's face twitched.
However, he knew Tong Yehu's character well. He was decisive and extremely conceited. Once he decided on something, it was impossible to change it.
Therefore, Zhao Deng agreed immediately.
Ten days was more than enough time to arrange everything.
Zhao Deng immediately went to make the arrangements. While he was making the arrangements and starting to gather the sheep, Guo Xiaozheng and Huang Shi had already infiltrated the capital of Yanqi Country with a few assassins.
The capital of Yanqi Country was located in Yanqi City.
This was the center of the capital.
Guo Xiaozheng didn't act immediately after he arrived. Instead, he chose an inn to stay in and arranged for people to investigate the current situation of Yanqi Country. The main purpose was to find out about the situation of Yanqi Country's ruler and the attitude of the people towards the Turks.
This wasn't a secret.
In less than an hour, the people who went to investigate returned. They stood below Guo Xiaozheng and reported, "Registrar Guo, the ruler of Yanqi Country is called Long Zhengyang. He's in his early twenties and has just ascended the throne."
"Long Zhengyang hates the Turks and has expressed his attitude in public many times. He said that the Western Turk Tongyehu bullies the people and is extremely despicable."
"The people of Yanqi Country hate the Turks even more because the Turks are stationed in Yanqi Country. Not only do they collect exorbitant taxes, but they also bully the people and kidnap women. This has caused many complaints in Yanqi Country."
The scout said, "Although Long Zhengyang is the ruler, in reality, Long Zhengyang does things according to the Turks."
After Guo Xiaozheng heard this, he thought about it carefully. After a while, Guo Xiaozheng asked, "How does Long Zhengyang treat the people? Is he someone who likes to enjoy life or is he someone who empathizes with the people?"
The sentinel reported, "Registrar Guo, Long Zheng Yang was the illegitimate son of the previous ruler of Yanqi, Long Fu. Because Long Fu had no children, after Long Fu passed away, the court officials found Long Zheng Yang, and Long Zheng Yang succeeded the throne. Long Zhengyang has suffered in the early years, so he empathizes with the people. This is why he has publicly criticized the Western Turks for eating people without spitting out the bones. Apart from that, there isn't much news. "
