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

Chapter 898: The Scheme of He Biheli

Sitting on a red horse, Biheli looked far behind him, his face darkening, "Chiwu, have you ever seen wolves on the grassland preying on antelopes? The cunning wolves are always in a hurry and drive the antelopes into traps."

"Then prey on the flock at the lowest cost."

"Chiwu, I tried it a few days ago. As long as we go east or west, we will be attacked by them. Only when we go south, they will not make any move, but just stay far behind to ensure that we are not out of sight."

The young Chi Wu looked anxious and said hurriedly: "Ah, father, you mean they have set up a siege ahead, then why should we move forward?"

A gleam of wisdom flashed in the eyes of Hebi Heli, and he sighed helplessly: "This time, the Turks mobilized 800,000 troops to attack my small Hebi tribe. With such a huge disparity in strength, the other side did not declare war, which is why we were defeated so quickly."

"But after they defeated us, they didn't think of destroying us, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to escape."

"After reducing our numbers to 30,000, they will use their army to drive us back south."

"If I'm not mistaken, these 100,000 people are just used to paralyze the reinforcements. Not far behind, there must be a large number of elite troops hiding. Do the Turks want to use us as bait to deal with the Xueyantuo tribe in the west?"

"As long as they dare to rescue us, most of the Turks will rush out from the rear and take the opportunity to destroy them. This Right Wise King has a big appetite, and a small Mobei cannot satisfy his appetite at all."

Chiwu's face turned pale immediately, and he said hurriedly: "Father, if this is the case, we must quickly inform the Xueyantuo tribe."

"Why tell them?"

Biheli glanced at his son indifferently and said coldly: "In fact, the messenger I sent to Yinan not only did not tell them the intentions of the Turks, but also told them that our tribe carried a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry and priceless property."

"Father, why are you doing this? We fled in a hurry, and it's bitterly cold in Mobei, and we don't have those things."

"Humph! You are so stupid."

Biheli cursed without hesitation: "If we tell Yi Nan that we have no property and there are hundreds of thousands of deadly troops following us, will Yi Nan still come to rescue us?"

"Does he dare to send out troops?"

"People on the grassland only care about their own interests. Only if we describe the enemy as weaker and get more benefits, will someone lend a helping hand. In the final analysis, they don't want to help us, but want to get benefits."

He Lichiwu's face looked very ugly. He opened his mouth stammeringly, and finally sighed helplessly and said nothing. He knew that what his father did was right.

"Moreover, we have not been very respectful to the Tang Dynasty in the past few years. Even if the Tang Dynasty saves us, it may not save us. Therefore, we can only have a chance to make a comeback if we drag more grassland tribes into the water and even let the Turks threaten the safety of the Tang Dynasty."

"The Turks' desire to expand the war is in our interest."

"Otherwise, if the Tang Dynasty adopts a policy of appeasement and recognizes the occupation of our northern desert by the Turkic Khanate, we will lose our homeland and never be able to return."

He Lichiwu was shocked. He had not expected that his father's seemingly reckless behavior actually hid such a profound intention. This made him believe once again in the grassland motto that an old horse knows the way. He looked at He Bi Heli with admiration.

"Father is wise. No wonder you asked me to move some rocks to the cart in the middle of the night when we passed that rocky beach a few days ago. I thought you wanted to throw the rocks at the critical moment to stop the horses of the rear cavalry."

"I didn't expect that it was to increase the weight of the carriage and give the Yinan the illusion that we were carrying a large load of treasure. My son has learned another trick."

He Biheli stroked his beard with a smile, and said, "Chiwu, when dealing with the leaders of those powerful forces, you should use your brain instead of just relying on brute force. Otherwise, even if you die, you will just be a reckless man."

"Yes, father. I will obey your teachings." Helichiwu responded.

At this moment, a thunderous roar came from the distant sky, and a large dark cloud appeared from the end of the hill. The spirits of the father and son of Biheli were immediately lifted. The cavalry was approaching quickly. The direction from which the cavalry came was the Irtysh River Valley in Xidan Prefecture.

"Yinan's people are finally here!"

Hebi Heli's face lit up with joy, and he looked at the cavalry far behind him, revealing a gloating expression: "Two tigers are fighting, and our Hebi tribe can be freed. The plague god of Turkic will soon be taken over by the greedy Yi men."

Bi Heli was not wrong in his guess. The person who came was Gu She, the most powerful general under Yi Nan.

After accepting a banquet in Yi Nan's tent last night, Gu She assembled 200,000 troops early in the morning to support the fleeing Bi tribe to the south. These people behind him were all strong soldiers who had fought many battles in the northwest. They had just come down from the battlefield, and their swords were still dripping with blood.
With such a powerful army in hand, Gu She had a heroic spirit of "the world is so big and no one else can do it but him". Even if the Right Wise King, who was known for his bravery and invincibility, was in front of him, he would not be afraid.

Gu She brought 20 to 30 captains to the front of Xi Biheli, and looked at this leader who was always called a straw bag by his own leader. He knew Yi Nan's mind very well and knew that Xi Biheli was just an old dog guarding the Xueyantuo.

But now this dog has lost the Xueyantuo tribe's Mobei, which makes Gu She very dissatisfied. He sits on his horse and asks impolitely with the whip in his hand: "I am Gu She, the vanguard general of the Xueyantuo tribe, and I am here to rescue you on the orders of the great leader."

"Are you the leader of the Fubi tribe, Fubi Heli?"

"Your tribe has hundreds of thousands of people, why are there only so few left now?"

Heli of the Fubi tribe ignored Gu She's arrogant attitude and said flatteringly, "General Gu She, thank you for coming to rescue us. All the people of the Fubi tribe are extremely grateful for your life-saving grace."

Gu She looked down upon Bi Heli's flattery and fawning. He raised his whip, pointed at the pursuers in the distance, and asked disdainfully, "Are those the Turks who chased you like a stray dog?"

"They don't look that great, do they?"

Seeing Gu She being so rude, Helichiwu was immediately furious. No matter what, his father and Yinan were both great commanders of the Tang Dynasty and were equals in front of Yinan. How could Gu She, a general, dare to disrespect his father like this?

Biheli hurriedly stopped his energetic son, smiling and saying in a flattering manner, "General Gushe is right. In fact, the ones chasing us are not the cavalry of the Turkic Khanate, but the slave soldiers they captured from Liaodong."

"Slave soldiers?" Gu She was very confused. He had never heard of them before.

Biheli was not displeased at all and explained in detail: "Yes, last year the Turks invaded the south and destroyed the three small forces of Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje on the Liaodong Peninsula. In order to replenish the troops, Jie Li captured 500,000 or 600,000 young men from there and brought them to the grassland."

"Although the Turkic invasion force is said to have 800,000 soldiers, in reality most of them are slave soldiers. They are used to the southern cities and are not used to the northern grasslands. Their cavalry combat skills are even worse."

“Some people can’t even ride a horse properly”

"The Turks also wanted to train their troops during their westward expedition. My 200,000-man army was defeated by the Turkic Right Wise King with his elite troops, and then I let these slave soldiers go to train. In this way, we defeated tens of thousands of soldiers and wiped out more than 200,000 of their slave soldiers."

"They are so weak that we only have 20,000 or 30,000 people left, and there are still a lot of old, weak, women and children who are busy running for their lives. Otherwise, with only 100,000 of them, they would never dare to chase us."

When Gu She heard this, he looked into the distance and saw that the cavalry had already discovered him and stopped advancing, as if they were discussing what to do.
Gu She knew from his own experience that these people were not experienced in fighting and were very weak. If 100,000 people met a strong army of 200,000, they would definitely flee immediately, but the other side hesitated, obviously at a loss.

Moreover, the enemy's formation was loose, and the slow-moving cavalry stopped, which actually caused some chaos. The people and horses in the middle were crowded together, and the surrounding people and horses were wandering around. Some horses even lowered their heads to eat grass, and the soldiers on the horses ignored them.

Gu She smiled contemptuously, it was indeed rubbish.

However, after many years of fighting, Gu Shen had a lot of experience in combat. Out of caution, he did not make a decision immediately, but continued to ask: "Where is the main force of the Right Wise King's army?"

"I don't know. We haven't seen them for more than ten days."

Heli hesitated for a moment and said unnaturally: "When we evacuated, there were still several large tribes resisting. In order to give them time to retreat, I did not inform them in advance."

"I guess the Right Wise King's men are still in the north conquering territory?"

"Otherwise, they will definitely not let go of the remnants of us with so many beauties and treasures."

Upon hearing this, Gu She despised Bi Heli even more.

What's buying time?
Isn't it because he was afraid that he couldn't escape, so he threw those people to the enemy, using their deaths to exchange for his own life? Gu She looked down on such people the most. However, as an opponent, such a cowardly leader, isn't it a bad thing for Xueyantuo?

After hearing what was said behind him, Gu She turned to look at the carriages in the middle of the army of the generals. The ruts were deep, leaving deep marks behind them. It was obvious that the things carried by the carriages were very heavy.

There was undisguised greed in Gu She's eyes. Judging from his own experience, if he could get it, he would definitely take it without hesitation.

Since the enemy has been following without attacking, it is estimated that their combat effectiveness is not enough and they want to delay the actions of the main force in the rear.
