Tong Yehu knew that once the Gu Mo Kingdom was defeated, the Turks he was from would not be able to escape the fate of being attacked or even destroyed. Tong Yehu did not want his forces to be destroyed again, so he led the army at the fastest speed possible.
In less than four days, the 30,000 elites led by Tong Yehu had already arrived at the capital of the Gu Mo Kingdom, Batian City.
Batian City was sturdy.
There were more than 10,000 people in the city. Including the stationed army and the rest of the population, there were at least 25,000 people in the city, or even more.
This was the largest capital of the Gu Mo Kingdom, and it was also the political and economic center of the Gu Mo Kingdom.
When the army led by Tong Yehu arrived, they did not camp outside the city. Instead, they led the army straight into the city. When the army entered the city, Tong Yehu's army was stationed alone. They were not stationed together with the army of the Gu Mo Kingdom.
Tian Chen specially set up a banquet in the palace to welcome Tong Yehu.
In the palace.
Tian Chen sat high on the main seat, but Tong Yehu also sat beside Tian Chen.
This was a specially set up position.
Below, whether it was the generals of the Turks or the civil officials and generals of the Gu Mo Kingdom, they were all present, causing the originally small palace to become a little crowded.
In the entire Gu Mo Kingdom, there were at most twenty officials under Tian Chen's command. Tong Yehu brought more than 30 people to the banquet this time. People from all the tribes were present, which was why there were so many people.
Tian Chen picked up the wine bottle and looked at Tong Yehu, he said enthusiastically, "Khan, whether we can block Du Qi's army this time or whether we can defeat Du Qi's army will depend on you. After all, you have fought with Du Qi before and know Du Qi's strength. You also know Du Qi's methods. I only rely on some information and don't know how to fight with Du Qi. "
Tong Yehu said, "King Tian, speaking of which, this Khan has indeed fought with Du Qi and suffered a loss at the hands of Du Qi. Du Qi's army is extremely powerful, and Du Qi is very good at scheming. "
At this point, Tong Yehu drank a cup of wine and could not be bothered to say more. He looked at Zhao Dengyan below and instructed, "Mr. Zhao, you are more familiar with the situation and better at expressing yourself. Tell King Tian about Du Qi's situation in detail."
"Yes!"
Zhao Dengyan immediately stood up.
As Tong Yehu's strategist, Zhao Dengyan's words carried a lot of weight. Before he was captured, he did not trust Zhao Dengyan. He Dengyan did not take Zhao Dengyan in his eyes. After being captured, Tong Yehu seemed to treat Zhao Dengyan as one of his own and no longer cared about Zhao Dengyan's identity.
This was especially so when Zhao Dengyan helped Tong Yehu to destroy Mo Heduo. After this incident to Dengyan's, Dengyan's to Dengyan's to speak's to.
Zhao Dengyan shook his sleeves and said to Tian Chen, "King Tian, to put it bluntly, any army in the world is no match for Du Qi's army on land."
"Even the Tang dynasty is the same."
"The reason is very simple. Du Qi has some secret weapons in his hands. Some weapons can explode on the ground after being thrown out. There are also weapons buried in the ground. When people step on them, they will explode, causing countless people to be injured. "
"We still don't know what these weapons are, let alone how they are made."
Zhao Dengyan said, "To be honest, it's really not easy to go against Du Qi. The Khan made up his mind to lead the army to reinforce the King. I believe that King Tian should have some understanding of Du Qi's information. "
Tian Chen nodded and said, "This King does know."
First, Tongyehu and Du Qi fought. Then, Hou Junji and Du Qi fought. After these two battles, Tian Chen had an understanding of Du Qi's weapons. However, Tian Chen did not know what they were.
Zhao Dengyan announced Du Qi's combat strength without leaving a trace. Then, he continued, "Now, the only way to fight against Du Qi is to rely on the strong defense of the city. Because Du Qi's weapons are useless in front of a strong city. Moreover, if we don't take the initiative to fight, Du Qi's weapons will be difficult to use. "
Zhao Dengyan suggested that Tian Chen defend, which was also his plan. This was because only if Tong Yehu's army remained in Pihuan City, it would be easy for them to clash with the civilians in Pihuan City, giving Lai Ji an opportunity to scheme.
After Tian Chen heard this, he looked at Tongyehu and said, "Khan, can we only defend passively? My Gu Mo Kingdom has more than 15,000 people. We can recruit some more and have at least 20,000 elite soldiers. Including Tongyehu's army, we have more than 50,000 people. We have the strength to fight this battle. "
Before Tongyehu could answer, Zhao Dengyan took the initiative to say, "King Tian, it's not that I don't think highly of your army. Last time, the Khan led 70,000 troops to fight, but they were beaten by Du Qi to the point that they couldn't fight back. "
"Now, there are only a mere 50,000 people. It's a fool's dream to want to fight against Du Qi with just this little number of troops. King Tian, if you haven't seen Du Qi's weapon, it's unimaginable. "
"Only those who have seen Du Qi's weapon know how terrifying it is."
Zhao Dengyan said, "Accompanied by the rumbling explosion, the entire ground began to shake. The soldiers around you were directly blown away, and there were countless casualties. You will never be able to imagine what kind of scene that is. "
Tongyehu put down the wine bottle and sighed, "King, Mr. Zhao's words have touched my heart. It's not that I'm afraid of Du Qi, but that weapon is really terrifying. It makes people afraid. "No matter who has such a weapon, they will be afraid."
Tian Chen sighed when he heard this.
What a pity!
Du Qi's strength was actually so tyrannical.
At this moment, Tian Chen glanced at the officials under him. When they heard Zhao Dengyan's words, they became even more worried. Originally, although these people were hostile to the Turks, for the sake of the great cause of Gu Mo Kingdom and for the sake of the survival of Gu Mo Kingdom, they all accepted it and endured their hatred for the Turks.
Now that they heard the description of Du Qi's combat strength, everyone's hearts sank, and they were extremely afraid.
Tian Chen thought for a moment and said, "forget it. Since the Khan has said so, we'll follow Mr. Zhao's plan and choose the strategy of defense as an attack. Now, we'll withdraw all our forces and let the people retreat into the city. "
"In this way, we'll gather all our forces to resist, and our strength will be even stronger. As long as we defend Dianzheng to the death, we still have a chance in this battle. Du Qi has offended the Emperor of the Tang dynasty. If Du Qi can't make any progress in our Gu Mo Kingdom, then the Tang dynasty will definitely take action. "
Tian Chen's eyes were sharp as he said, "In the end, we will definitely win this battle."
Tongyehu Khan had a look of approval on his face as he said, "That's right. The king needs to change his mindset. I know that the king is a wise king, but in front of Du Qi, you have to endure it. You can't be too confident. "
"The Khan is right!"
Tian Chen nodded and replied.
Tongyehu liked to drink, but in this situation, he felt that drinking was a little boring. In particular, Tongyehu heard that the women of Gu Mo Kingdom were extremely good at dancing, especially the singers in Tian Chen's palace who were very powerful.
Tongyehu rolled his eyes and said, "King Tian, I heard that the women of Gu Mo Kingdom are good at dancing. There's no war for the time being, and Du Qi's army hasn't arrived yet. This banquet is too boring. Send some singers over and let them sing and dance to liven things up. "
As soon as these words were said, the civil officials and generals of Gu Mo Kingdom felt uncomfortable. When they looked at Tongyehu, their eyes were filled with hostility.
At this time, they wanted to enjoy the singing and dancing.
It was not appropriate.
Tian Chen frowned slightly and did not say anything for the time being because he was also a little unhappy.
Zhao Dengyan seized the opportunity and immediately said, "King Tian, it's not easy for our Khan to lead an army from afar. "Now, we're just asking you to choose some singers to dance. This shouldn't be a difficult task for you, right?"
The chiefs of the other Turkic tribes were all delighted and began to talk at once.
They all wanted to watch the singing and dancing.
Everyone began to jeer. To Tian Chen, he was immediately put on the grill and could not refuse at all. Because refusing now was equivalent to offending Tongyehu. One had to know that they were the ones who took the initiative to ask Tongyehu for help in this battle. Moreover, in the following battle, they still had to rely on Tongyehu's troops to defend the city.
Tian Chen did not make a decision. Tian Buqi had already stood up and said with a smile, "Monarch, Tongye Hu Khan has led 30,000 elites to help the Gu Mo Kingdom. Not to mention anything else, just the Khan's sense of justice is extremely precious. "Now that the Khan wants to enjoy the singing and dancing, as the host, we naturally have to be satisfied. "King, arrange for the singers in the palace to come."
As the leader of the generals, Lai Xingyu was extremely wise and calm. He knew that he could not fall out with the Turks now, so he also said, "King, Marquis Gu Mo's words make sense. We should thank Tongyehu Khan. It's just a dance for the singers. Make the arrangements. "
Both of them endured the humiliation.
Because all of this was for Gu Mo Kingdom. It was all to resist the invasion of Du Qi's army. If he were to have a conflict with Tongyehu Khan now, especially because of the songstress, then it would not be worth it at all.
Tian Chen was a wise King. He quickly recovered and adjusted his mentality. He nodded and said, "I have approved the Khan's request. Men, inform the singers in the palace to dance."
The attendant in the hall immediately went to pass the order.
