The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 1165: King Qi is one of us?

"Well, I think you are really confused."

Shi Luodie snorted coldly, shocking the whole audience: "Don't forget why we came south. After all, we came to attack the Tang Dynasty. We are in a life-and-death hostile relationship with the Tang Dynasty."

"This is a war, do you think you are just guests?"

"Great Khan, that's what we said, but we always showed mercy and gave them land."

Basilulu of the Tongluo tribe said with murderous intent, "I didn't expect them to be so ungrateful. Great Khan, I can't bear it anymore. Next, I will slaughter a few cities to avenge the Tang army and vent our anger."

Shi Luodie waved his hand unhappily: "Showing mercy is to make them give up resistance and hand over their money; dividing the land is to provoke the relationship between officials and the people of the Tang Dynasty and make them fight among themselves. These calculations of ours are a hundred times sharper than killing people and slaughtering the whole city."

"Why do you think the Tang army mercilessly killed all our soldiers? They just want to provoke us, make us lose our minds, and attack ordinary people."

"As long as we create a few heinous massacres, they can use this as an excuse to incite the people to hate us. As long as the people of all the cities in Hebei are hostile to us, then no matter how many troops we have, we will be doomed."

"We must not fall into their trap, otherwise all our previous actions will be in vain."

Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, and then slowly calming down, Shi Luodie said: "They want us to do this, but we don't want to do what they want. Pass the order down, no one is allowed to attack the civilians. Anyone who dares to disobey the military order will not be forgiven by this Khan."

"Great Khan, we cannot allow the Tang Dynasty to massacre our tribe like this."

Ashina Moduo said: "There is absolutely no such large-scale cavalry in Hebei. I think they were secretly transferred from the north, most likely from the Liaozhou and Yanshan defense lines. Great Khan, I think we have robbed enough this time, so we might as well go back early."

"Yes, Khan. The force that the Tang Dynasty has dispatched to deal with our 300,000 cavalry is probably not small. In addition, this is their territory, so they must have a lot of infantry as well."

"We'd better return as soon as possible. If we are delayed, it will be terrible if we are surrounded by them."

"Yes, I agree with you."

Seeing that everyone was backing off, Shi Luodie secretly despised them in his heart. These people were used to having an easy life and now they didn't even want to fight a tough battle. They were falling into depravity too quickly.

It hasn't been long and you can't even lift the knife anymore.

"It's too late. The Tang Dynasty's encirclement has already been formed."

Shi Luodie poured cold water on everyone: "According to the latest news, the Tang Dynasty has mobilized 500,000 infantrymen to block us from the north, southwest and three directions. In addition, they have secretly transferred 200,000 cavalry from Hexi to come and destroy us."

"What, seven hundred thousand?"

Everyone was panicked and asked, "Great Khan, we only have 250,000 men left. The Tang army has 700,000 men. How can we defeat them?"

"Yes, this is their territory. As long as the infantry defends the city, we won't be able to grab anything. And with the cavalry chasing us, I'm afraid we will end up exhausted on the way to escape without any reinforcements."

"Great Khan, what should we do?"

"."

Seeing the beasts in a panic, Shi Luodie suddenly slammed the table. There was a loud bang, which startled all the leaders in the tent.

"Why are you panicking? Look at how you are. You are so scared when facing a small enemy. Have you forgotten how to hold a knife during this period of time?"

Everyone lowered their heads in shame. Shi Luodie scolded them expressionlessly, "Isn't it just 700,000 Tang troops? Our Turkic cavalry is invincible in the world. Each of them can defeat ten enemies with one. We have 250,000 strong soldiers at our disposal. If you are still afraid, then we'd better not live."

"Since the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wants us to stay, we won't leave."

"Although the Tang Dynasty has a large number of troops, most of them are infantry. Only the cavalry poses the greatest threat to us. As long as we eliminate this cavalry, no matter how many infantry there are, we won't have to worry about them."

Zhuolibuhua stood up angrily and said, "We are the wild wolves on the grassland, and the Tang people are just sheep hiding in the pen. No matter how many sheep there are, they are no match for the wolves. I believe in the Khan. As long as we follow the Khan, we can defeat the Tang army."

"We are all cavalry. Have you ever seen infantry surround cavalry?"

"Yes, the Khan's wisdom is infinite. I don't believe that the little emperor of the Tang Dynasty can defeat our noble Turkic nobles."

Ashina Moduo waved his fists with a defiant look on his face: "No matter how many people from the Tang Dynasty come, we will smash them to pieces."

"Besides, you know the Tang cavalry is just so-so. Can three or five Tang cavalrymen match one of our Turkic cavalrymen? What's more, 250,000 against 200,000, the advantage is on our side, and we Turks will win." "That's right, General Zhuolibuhua and General Ashina Moduo are right."

".Hahaha, what happened just now? We were actually frightened by the Tang Dynasty. Could it be true as the Khan said, that we have been so successful recently that we forgot that we are at war."

".You know what, the Tang people were so welcoming to us that I really thought we were guests."

".Hahaha."

The group of beasts came to their senses, felt a little ashamed, and embarrassed for their momentary panic, and began to vent freely.

Seeing that the atmosphere had been restored, Shi Luodie smiled and said, "Don't forget what I said at the beginning. The reason why I dared to attack the heartland of the Tang Dynasty this time was because there was a heavyweight figure inside the Tang Dynasty as an insider."

"Since it has come to this, I might as well reveal it so that you can be completely relieved. The prince who cooperated with this Khan is Qi Wang Li You. The deployment of Hebei troops in the Tang army court was provided by Qi Wang."

"Next, he will continue to provide them with information about their internal situation. With the King of Qi, we know the deployment of the Tang army very well, but they know nothing about us. Are you still worried that you can't win this battle?"

With a "boom", the big tent suddenly became boiling.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise. They all knew that the Tang Dynasty had recently appointed the King of Qi as the General of the Eastern Expedition to unify the command of the war in Hebei. They didn't expect that the enemy commander would be one of their own.

If this is the case, then no matter how much military power the other side has, it will not be a threat.

"The Khan is wise!"

The latest person to react was Zhuolibuhua. He looked like his father-in-law had died, and said excitedly, "If that's the case, then we don't have to worry anymore. The 700,000 Tang troops under the command of the King of Qi, are they here to help us or the Emperor of the Tang? That's another story."

"The Khan's hand is really deep. He even won over the King of Qi. The Khan is truly unrivaled in the world."

"Yes, if the King of Qi rebels at the critical moment, his 700,000 troops plus our 250,000 will be a million-strong army. With this kind of troops at hand, we can even reach Chang'an without any problem." Everyone was overjoyed, as if they had taken a reassurance pill, and they all felt relieved.

"But don't be too happy too soon."

Shi Luodie said with a heavy face: "According to the King of Qi, those infantrymen are under his jurisdiction. However, the emperor is not too confident in him for the 200,000 cavalrymen, so he gave them to the two generals Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji to lead."

"It is this cavalry that is really attacking us. We still need to eliminate them. As long as this cavalry is here, the King of Qi will not dare to make any unusual moves."

"You all know that the cavalry is the one that can really decide the situation on the battlefield. We need to destroy this cavalry ourselves. As long as we defeat them, the King of Qi will lose control and be able to control the infantry, thus raising an army to cause chaos in the world."

"So, the next situation is, if we can destroy these 200,000 cavalry, we will have the King of Qi's 500,000 infantry as a strong support; if not, we will have to face a full 700,000 enemies, do you understand?"

After such an analysis, everyone immediately understood the current situation.

Knowing that there was still a tough battle ahead, they had to decide whether to ally with the King of Qi and wreak havoc in the Central Plains, or face a large-scale infantry and cavalry coalition. It all depended on the outcome between them and the Tang cavalry.

If they lose, they will be destroyed in the Central Plains;

If they win, they can win the support of the future emperor of the entire Tang Dynasty, defeat the Right Wise King, and restore the former Turkic Khanate.

Zhuoli Buhua said excitedly: "Great Khan, I will obey your orders. We are not afraid of them, and we have the secret support of the King of Qi. We have an absolute advantage against the Tang cavalry, and we will win this battle."

"We will obey the Khan's orders." The leaders stood up and responded.

Shi Luodie nodded with satisfaction. He had known about the arrival of the Tang cavalry a long time ago. The reason why he did not gather the troops was that he wanted Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji to make a wrong judgment and think that the Turks knew nothing about the military situation of the Tang Dynasty. Only then would they be able to move forward boldly.

After all, the Turks had been fighting in a scattered manner from the north to the south of Hebei. If they had gathered their troops in time before they arrived, these two old foxes would have immediately guessed that there were Turkic spies in the court.

So be more cautious.

Judging from the current situation, Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji divided the cavalry into two parts. One part, led by Cheng Yaojin, left Julu and headed south, attacking Dezhou from the southwest; while Li Ji led the other part, detoured north and pressed forward from the northwest.

Two cavalry units of 100,000 men, like two huge pincers, blocked the Turks in the areas of Dezhou and Dizhou. This was a typical case of underestimating the enemy. Of course, on the other hand, it also proved their confidence and their confidence in the combat effectiveness of these cavalry.

They thought that even if they divided their forces, the Turks would not be able to defeat any of them.
This is good, as it gives the Turks a chance to concentrate their forces and defeat us one by one.
