I have 800,000 private soldiers. The emperor forces me to hand over military power?

Outside Yanqi City, there is Huihe camp.

Pei Luo, the powerful Khan of Huairen of Huaihe, was sitting firmly in the tent of the Chinese army. Kneeling on one knee in front of him was Azhar, the first military general of Huihe who had just returned from Yanqi City.

At this moment, Azar smelled of alcohol, but his mind was extremely clear.

The trip to Yanqi City made Azar not only afraid, but also determined to capture Yanqi City and capture the defending general Tan Li alive.

This cunning and cunning thing had the dignified first general of Uighur under his control from the very beginning.

"Khan, the last general is willing to be the vanguard general of the siege and lead the army to attack the city early tomorrow morning!"

At this time, Azar's eyes were fierce and he asked for orders from Gu Li Peiluo, saying: "At the end of this trip, we have basically investigated the situation of the defenders in Yanqi City;"

"In Yanqi City, there are only more than 20,000 Anxi frontier troops and more than 50,000 people in the city. And at least a month ago, the city's reserves of fresh fruits and vegetables, tea bricks, fine salt and other daily necessities have been exhausted!"

"If Chen Huai'an, a Han Chinese, hadn't led an army thousands of miles away to aid Yanqi City, our Huihe army would have only had to besiege the city for three months, and Yanqi City would have destroyed itself without attack!"

After a pause, Azar continued: "Tan Li, the commander-in-chief of the city's defenders, has made up his mind to fight our Huihe army to the end, and there is absolutely no chance of surrendering!"

"The general is willing to lead a large army to attack the city, and I hope the Khan will grant it!"

After saying that, Azar knelt down on one knee and buried his head deeply.

In the big tent, there was no change in expression on Gu Li Pei Luo's old face. He just said lightly: "I'm sure!"

"Early tomorrow morning, the army will attack the city!"

"The general will get the order!"

Hearing this, Azar raised his head with joy, his eyes full of desire and greed.

After Azar left with satisfaction, only the strong-armed Peiro and the maids serving him were left in the big tent. He picked up the letter on the desk in front of him and said to himself:

"It seems that when I led the Uighur Khanate to rise and dominate the Western Regions, there would inevitably be a lot of swords, swords, and bloodshed!"

The letter in the hand of Guli Peiluo is a letter from the Uighur military general who besieged the three towns of Kucha, Shule and Yutian.

The letter informed that the plan to recruit the generals of the Anxi frontier army who were defending the city in three places had been completely declared bankrupt. According to the arrangements of Huairen Khan's strongman Peluo before the war, the three towns would be stormed and a quick victory would be achieved!

In this move to recruit and surrender the generals of the three towns, Pei Luo overestimated the influence of himself and the 300,000 Western Region Allied Forces.

Which of the frontier generals who can garrison the four towns in Anxi is not a loyal person?

Even if they have lost contact with the Anxi General Military Mansion and the imperial court, there is absolutely no way that the tough generals in the four towns of Anxi like Tan Li will surrender to foreign countries.

This is the demeanor of a border guard general in the land of heaven and etiquette.

Faced with the siege of an enemy that was several times their size, and under the harsh conditions of being short of food and clothing, they tried every means, but they never thought of surrender!

at the same time.

On the Yanqi city wall, the officers and soldiers of the Anxi border army who were on duty were in high spirits and had high morale.

General Tan Li, half drunk and half awake, ran around the city wall and held an impromptu military parade.

To say it was a military parade would be more appropriate to say it was a heart-to-heart talk with the soldiers who were defending the city under their command.

Tan Li climbed up to the gate tower and asked the frontier soldiers guarding the tower in front of him: "Brothers, is today's Laba porridge sweet, and is the fresh vegetable soup delicious?"

"sweet!"

"sweet!"

"sweet!"

"Delicious, delicious, delicious!"

A group of Anxi Frontier Army soldiers on duty responded in unison.

Someone asked loudly: "General, I heard that in order to treat the brothers to drink Laba porridge, the general took out all the candies in the house?"

"Yes, that's right!"

Tan Li did not shy away and said bluntly: "Brothers, this general has not been able to let everyone have a lively Laba Festival like in previous years. I only have this ability left to let everyone drink a bowl of sweet Laba porridge!"

Speaking of this, Tan Li said with a hint of sadness in his tone: "Although this general doesn't want to say it, as border guards, there are some things we must bravely stand up and face."

"This Laba Festival is most likely the last Laba Festival that this general and everyone present will celebrate."

"Therefore, this general did not hesitate to bring the fine goods from the enemy troops outside the city into the city, just so that the brothers could have a bowl of fresh vegetable soup."

"If my general guesses correctly, early tomorrow morning, the Uighurs outside the city will begin to attack the city."

Tan Li paused, his tone suddenly became sharp, and he raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, there is going to be a war soon. People will die in the war. Are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!"

"Don't be afraid!"

"Don't be afraid!"

On the city wall, all the soldiers of the Anxi army responded in unison, looking at the general Tan Li on the city gate with hot and firm eyes.

Looking at this military commander who is willing to drain his family wealth and seek the skin of a tiger so that the brothers of the 20,000 Anxi frontier army in the city can have a bowl of sweet Laba porridge and a bowl of fresh vegetable soup that has not been seen for a long time, I can't help but feel sad. move.

"This general is not afraid either!"

On the tower, Tan Li said with a smile: "Because, there is no point in being afraid!"

Ha ha!

Hearing this, all the frontier soldiers couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Tan Li continued: "Outside the city, the ferocious Uighurs will not stop attacking the city just because they are afraid of us;"

"We won't let our fellow villagers and sisters in the city be spared just because we are afraid!"

"on the contrary--"

Tan Li changed the subject and said sternly: "Once we show cowardice and fear on the battlefield, it will further encourage the Huihe people's arrogance, causing them to slash with more force and assassinate our brother Paoze!"

"Brothers from the Anxi Frontier Army, the war is coming. We have no choice, let alone retreat!"

"Once we retreat, the people in Yanqi City will be massacred by the Uighurs; our wives, daughters, and sisters will be raped and degraded by the Uighurs; my Anxi army has been flying in Yanqi City for more than thirty years. The battle flag of the new year will surely be destroyed!”

Clang!

As he spoke, Tan Li suddenly pulled out his saber and raised it above his head.

The blade shone with a cold light under the moonlight.

Tan Li said word by word: "Commanders of the Anxi Frontier Army, I am now issuing general orders to you as Yanqi Garrison and General of the Border Army——"

"Once the siege begins, it will be an endless war with the Uighurs. Even if there is only one person left, we will continue to fight the Uighurs to the end and defend the honor of the Anxi Frontier Army to the death!"

"This general, I have only one request for you in this battle - to bring out the majesty of our Anxi frontier army and let the arrogant Huihe people see clearly who is the master of Yanqi City!"

"The general is mighty!"

"The border troops are mighty!"

"mighty!"

"mighty!"

"mighty!"
