Chapter 185 Bazhuo is here
Just when everyone was busy, Bazhuo's army was not far from Wantong City in Xiazhou, and would soon be able to reach the city.
"Please!" A scout stopped in front of Bazhuo and saluted, "Khan! My vanguard army was ambushed by the Tang army not long ago and was completely wiped out."
"What? Where is Yoshino Tai?" Bazhuo was furious after hearing this, and hurriedly asked about the situation of his trusted general.
"General Yoshino Tai has been beheaded, and his head is hung on the flagpole on the top of Wantong City." said the scout.
"What?" Ba Zhuo's eyes were about to burst, his hands were shaking with anger, and he almost couldn't hold the whip steadily. He didn't expect that before he took down Wantong City, or even touched the edge of Wantong City, one of his generals was killed.
It's really a hero's tears to die before he can achieve his goal!
"Pass the order! The army will speed up immediately and attack Wantong City. Whoever enters Wantong City first will be promoted three levels." Ba Zhuo roared with his back teeth bitten.
"Yes!" The scout received the order and was about to turn his horse around and leave.
At this time, someone stopped the scout: "Wait!"
The scout stopped and looked at the Han woman in Ba Zhuo's arms. He felt disgusted, but on the surface he looked submissive.
If it weren't for this Han Chinese woman who kept urging the Khan to send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty, how could the Khan be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty.
That's right! In addition to Bazhuo's own desire to attack the Tang Dynasty, the greatest contribution to Bazhuo's
expedition this time was the Han Chinese woman next to him. It was she who kept whispering in Bazhuo's ear that made Bazhuo hurriedly mobilize the army to attack the Tang Dynasty.
As soon as Bazhuo ascended the throne of Khan, he immediately appointed this Han Chinese woman as Khatun.
Bazhuo's eyes fell on the woman who was riding a horse with him and was in his arms, and his eyes were full of love.
"My dear Khatun! What's the matter with you?" Bazhuo said softly.
"Khan! We don't know the situation of Wantong City right now. The soldiers have been rushing all night. It will be disadvantageous for us to launch an attack now."
"In my opinion, it is better to set up camp on the spot and send people to find out the truth about Wantong City. It will not be too late to make a decision." The Han woman in Bazhuo's arms smiled.
"What Khatun said makes sense!" Bazhuo nodded and said to the scout: "Send the order quickly, the whole army stops moving forward, and choose a suitable place to set up camp on the spot!"
"Yes! Khan!" The scout took the order and left. Soon Bazhuo's order was passed on, and the army stopped moving forward.
Hundreds of scouts separated from the army and flew around to find a suitable place to set up camp.
Soon the scouts sent news that they had found a perfect place to set up camp.
The army marched there and set up camp.
In the camp of the Xueyantuo army, countless tents were set up, stretching for ten miles.
In the central army tent of the Xueyantuo army, Bazhuo ordered people to call all the generals to discuss matters, and followed the words of his Khatun and sent out all the scouts to inquire about the situation.
When the generals came to the tent, they saw the Han woman sitting next to Bazhuo, and their faces immediately became ugly. This was the central army tent for discussions, how could a woman appear here.
"Khan! It's not convenient for the Khatun to discuss military and national affairs here! Please Khan ask the Khatun to leave." A general from the Xueyantuo tribe saluted.
What he hated most was to bring a woman with him on the march. If a woman was around, the Xueyantuo warriors would lose their will to fight and their courage to defeat the enemy once they were in a gentle state.
"Heheli, Khatun is the Khan's closest person. There is nothing that cannot be told to her. Let her also listen to this military meeting." Bazhuo raised his head and said.
"But..." Heheli wanted to say something, Bazhuo waved his hand impatiently and said, "No need to say more."
Seeing that Bazhuo was unwilling to listen to his advice, Heheli sighed and stepped aside. If Heheli was not one of Bazhuo's confidants, Bazhuo would have
turned against the Khatun who dared to criticize him in front of him!
The tribal generals watched all this coldly, saying nothing, and each found a seat to sit down, waiting for everyone to arrive.
Xueyantuo generals arrived one after another, and after everyone was present, Bazhuo began to speak.
"This time we are attacking the Tang Dynasty because the Tang Dynasty has been relying on its strong national strength to bully our Xueyantuo for many years."
"Now, the Tang Dynasty's Emperor Li Shimin is leading a large army to attack Goguryeo. The Tang Dynasty must be depleted of national strength."
"This is a great opportunity for us to defeat the Tang Dynasty. I won't hide it from you all. Just now, my vanguard army was ambushed by the Tang army and suffered heavy losses!"
"My general also died in battle. This is because the Tang people are too despicable. They knew they were no match for our army, so they set a trap to assassinate Yoshino Yasushi."
"Everyone, the Tang Dynasty's Wantong City in Xiazhou is less than two hundred miles away from us. What do you think we should do?" Ba Zhuo said and looked at everyone.
No one said anything. It was true that Wantong City was less than 200 miles away from here. The key was that the Tang army had defenses. It was a pipe dream to want to break through Wantong City.
More importantly, they didn't know how many soldiers the Tang army had in Wantong City, and they knew nothing about the situation inside Wantong City.
If they attacked rashly, it would be easy to repeat the same fate as Yoshino Yasushi and his 30,000 vanguards.
The people of each tribe were not stupid, and they would not risk their lives for Bazhuo. Besides, why should they risk their lives for a tyrant like Bazhuo?
Seeing that there was no response, Bazhuo's face immediately fell and he was unhappy!
He thought someone would agree with him, and then follow his words to start a heated discussion, and finally come up with a complete plan.
But he never expected that this group of guys would not cooperate with the performance, which made him unable to get off the stage in an extremely embarrassing situation.
Bazhuo's foundation was not stable when he first came to the stage, and it was reflected at this time.
"Are you all mute? Why don't you say anything? Are the warriors of my Xueyantuo Khanate defeated because of this little setback?"
"Are you so timid that you don't even have the courage to defeat the enemy? Are the warriors of Xueyantuo so scared that they don't even have the courage to face the enemy?" Bazhuo roared. "
Khan! It's not that we are afraid of the Tang army, but the situation in Wantong City. We don't know anything now. If we act rashly, we are afraid that we will fall into the trap of the enemy again." The Uighur general said.
"That's right! Our warriors are not afraid of any enemy, but we can't be so stupid as to rush in and kill without even knowing the enemy's situation."
"This is not the behavior of a warrior, but the behavior of a fool." Another tribal leader stood up and said.
"You don't have to worry about this. The Khan has ordered all scouts to go out and get information. I believe there will be news soon." The Han woman said to everyone.
Everyone looked at the Han woman and stopped talking.
