Chapter 1272 The Battle of Tubo Is Over
Mongol Empire, Hara and Lin.
Genghis Khan was shocked for the first time when he received the letter of inquiry from Daxia Honglu Temple.
"Nizi, Nizi!"
Obviously, this matter was done by Wo Kuotai arbitrarily, with the purpose of destroying the peace talks between Mongolia and Daxia in order to stabilize its position. What to say, Wo Kuotai is not willing to live under the fourth younger brother Tuo Lei.
As a hero in history, this is the arrogance of Wo Kuotai.
And in history, Tuo Lei was poisoned to death precisely because of Wo Kuotai's suspicion. Who can guarantee that after Tuo Lei ascends to power, he will not use his own way to punish him.
Another point is that, as a generation of heroes who grew up in the prairie, Wo Kuotai was very reluctant to petition Daxia to surrender. For Wo Kuotai, this was a huge humiliation and it was absolutely unbearable.
Not only Wo Kuotai, many Mongolians have similar plots, especially the generals in the army.
After a while, Yelu Chucai, the Prime Minister of the Mongol Empire, came by order.
"Ai Qing thinks, how to deal with this matter?" Genghis Khan asked.
Yelu Chucai looked very embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "Looking at Daxia's tone, the so-called giving an explanation should at least mean sending the third prince to the capital to be dealt with by Daxia."
Genghis Khan's expression turned ugly. He actually knew what Da Xia wanted to explain, but he still felt a sense of shame for Yelu Chucai to say it so blatantly.
"This is not acceptable." Genghis Khan shook his head.
Wo Kuotai's prestige in the Mongolian Empire was second only to Genghis Khan. If the Mongolian Empire really handed over Wo Kuotai, the Mongols would never be able to lift their heads up for the rest of their lives.
"Yes." Yelu Chucai also nodded, and added: "I have heard that many generals in the army are not interested in Da Xia. If the third prince is really arrested, there may be chaos in the army."
"That's why it's difficult." Genghis Khan frowned, and couldn't help cursing again: "You son of a bitch!"
Wo Kuotai's actions pushed Genghis Khan to a very passive position, and even said that he basically pushed the Mongolian Empire to the edge of a cliff, with peace on one side and hell on the other.
"Does Aiqing have a good plan?" Genghis Khan asked hopefully.
When Yelu Chucai saw him, he half-kneeled on the ground, and said in shame, "Damn me, I can't share my worries for the Great Khan!" In the face of absolute strength, sometimes there is really nothing to do, and it has nothing to do with intelligence.
Genghis Khan asked: "Can Daxia be accommodating and use a border general as a scapegoat?"
In addition to Wokuotai himself, the Mongolian Empire guarded the Wokuotai Khanate, as well as two generals, Borshu and Chilaowen. To be more specific, it is Borshu, one of the four masters, who guards the southern border of the Wokuotai Khanate.
Borshu is not only the head of the Four Heroes, but also Genghis Khan's childhood playmate, which is extraordinary.
Seeing what Genghis Khan meant, it turned out that he was going to sacrifice Borshu in exchange for Daxia's forgiveness, in order to survive this catastrophe. Thinking of this, Yelu Chucai only felt cold sweat on his palms.
"You can try it." Yelu Chucai said forcefully.
Genghis Khan nodded in satisfaction, "Then let's do it!"
"promise!"
Yelu Chucai turned and left, his footsteps were a little vain.
Genghis Khan looked at Yelu Chucai's back, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
…………
The so-called confession of the Mongolian Empire could not satisfy Ouyang Shuo at all.
Wang Jian and his son were not only the commanders of the right-wing army, but also the generals that Ouyang Shuo valued very much. They were ready to entrust them with heavy responsibilities after the Tubo battle was over, and no mistakes could be tolerated.
If Wang Ben was killed because of Wo Kuotai's selfishness, and Wang Jian was at odds with the empire, how could killing a Borshu be enough to confess the past?
Mongols are rare in Borshu, but Ouyang Shuo is not rare.
Ouyang Shuo said leisurely: "Let's deal with it coldly for now, remember, don't show hostility."
"clear!"
Zhang Yi, who was in charge of delivering the message, listened thoughtfully.
…………
Although very reluctant to see, the tragedy still happened.
On October 27th, before the right-wing army led by Wang Jian, the remaining Wang Ben's troops were chased and intercepted by the army of the Ashoka Dynasty. After all, they were not spared, and the entire army was killed.
Wang Ben killed himself on the spot, vowing not to be a prisoner.
Wang Jian, who received the news, was in great grief, as if he had gone crazy, and led his troops to attack the army of the Ashoka Dynasty, setting off a heinous massacre in the hinterland of Tubo.
At that time, the Qin army had the style of slaughtering the six countries in history.
When Li Jing got the news, he sighed and ordered the left-wing army to do a good job of supporting the right-wing army, so as not to let Wang Jian fall into danger. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain to the king at all.
Under the frenzied attack of the army on the left and right wings of Daxia, the hinterland of Tubo was declared to be lost.
Not to mention, Wang Jian led his troops to fight all the way to the end of Tubo's western border. After collecting Wang Ben's body, he took advantage of the situation to cut off the retreat of the Ashoka army.
If there is not a sliver of reason left, Wang Jian will lead his troops to attack the ancient castle of Hantam Pasha to avenge Wang Ben.
On November 3, under the siege of the Central Route Army and the Central Protectorate without regard to sacrifices, Luoxie City was also declared to have fallen. So far, the entire Tubo battlefield has been controlled by Daxia.
The army of the Ashoka Dynasty, who was forced into a desperate situation, had no choice but to surrender.
According to post-war statistics, during the fierce battle of two and a half months, the Ashoka Dynasty invested two million forbidden troops, and except for the dead, the remaining 75 people all surrendered. In addition, there were 250,000 Tubo surrendered troops.
At this point, the Ashoka Dynasty's army has dropped from 4.5 million at its peak to 2.5 million, and its strength has been greatly damaged. In the future, let alone conquering foreign countries, its dominance in the country is also on the verge of collapse.
Upon receiving the news, the two giants, Peacock King and Gupta King, were delighted from ear to ear.
Almost at the same time as the end of the Tubo War, the Mauryan Dynasty and the Gupta Dynasty, which had been lurking in the dark, launched an attack on the Ashoka Dynasty at the same time.
Tianzhu District ushered in the largest melee in history.
After this battle, the pattern of Tianzhu District will usher in a new reshuffle.
Although the battle of Tubo was won, Daxia also paid a heavy price. In the end, only 1.3 million people survived the army of more than 2 million, and more than 700,000 people died in battle.
Among them, the right-wing army suffered the most casualties. In the end, there were less than 250,000 troops left in the 500,000 army, and the casualties were close to half. The crazy Wang Jian is really frightening.
The right-wing army was killed in battle, except for 70,000 Wang Ben's troops. The biggest casualties occurred when Wang Jian led his troops to the west. Wang Jian, who was crazy, did not count sacrifices in the fight.
The Tubo battlefield is a veritable meat grinder.
Fortunately, the 1.3 million surviving army has finally grown up after the baptism of this battle, and can be used as an elite in other dynasties.
However, Great Xia was in the midst of the largest disarmament, and there was no room for the 1.3 million troops.
How to place them? There will be a definite number soon.
At the moment when he learned of Wang Ben's death in battle, Wang Jian could no longer restrain the grief in his heart, and directly played to Ouyang Shuo, saying earnestly: "The general has nothing but to lead his troops to the Okuotai Khanate. If Your Majesty can If you agree to the request of the last general, the last general will be devastated and serve the empire until death."
Wang Jian's words have reached this point, what else can Ouyang Shuo say?
Ouyang Shuo was very dissatisfied with Genghis Khan's perfunctory behavior. He thought of taking the opportunity to clean up the Mongol Empire. When Wang Ben died in battle, he had already made up his mind.
Isn't it Ouyang Shuo's chance to buy people's hearts when Wang Jian plays at this time? It is worth nothing to make a general like Wang Jian steadfastly serve the empire.
Ouyang Shuo agreed to Wang Jian's battle plan without hesitation.
