A week later.
At the edge of the Turkic steppe.
The cold wind howled and snowflakes fluttered.
There was an army stationed on the white snow. The flag of this army was black and red, with the word " You " written on it.
This was Li Yu's army, collectively known as the Youzhou Army.
There was a large bonfire in the center of the camp, and the soldiers were roasting meat around the bonfire.
As a general, Li Yu did not cook. Instead, he sat beside the bonfire with the soldiers and ate in the cold wind.
"Your Highness, we've been here for a week. Why are there no signs of the elite troops of the Ancient Barga Tribe? Did they run away?”
Baiqi asked.
After wiping out the elite vanguard of the Ancient Baye Tribe, the Youzhou army had advanced without any obstructions, reaching the edge of the Turkic steppe.
According to their initial calculations, they would encounter the enemy's main force in five days.
But it was already the sixth day, and the enemy was still nowhere to be seen.
"Tubili, the leader of the Ancient Baye Tribe, probably ordered his troops to retreat when he saw that the vanguard army was completely wiped out.”
Li Yu scolded in disdain.
Although Li Yu was cursing, he still had high hopes for the leader of the Ancient Barren Tribe, Tu Bili.
The general of the 100,000 elite vanguard, Wuyetu, was Tu Bili's son. His son had been killed, but as a father, Tu Bili was still able to keep his cool. He did not let the main force advance recklessly like a madman, but instead retreated and made a long-term plan.
Just based on this point, Li Yu felt that Tu Bi Li was more suitable to be a Khan than Jie Li.
"Your Highness, what should we do? We can't retreat too, right?”
Baiqi asked.
"Let me think."
Li Yu closed his eyes and began to think.
According to the original plan, they should have annihilated the Bayegu vanguard army before going to annihilate the main force.
However, the vanguard army had been wiped out, and the main force had yet to arrive. This meant that they had retreated, and the original plan had completely failed.
But even so, he had to do his best to severely injure the Ancient Wilderness Tribe.
However, it was not necessary to eliminate the elites. It was also possible to directly eliminate the ancient tribe.
Thinking of this, Li Yu's eyes lit up and he said,""I have an idea. Instead of destroying the elites of the Ancient Barrage Tribe, why don't we just take them down!
Hearing this, Bai Qi shook his head." Destroying the elite troops of the Ancient Baye Tribe is the second-best solution. We don't have many people. How can we take down the Ancient Baye Tribe?"”
"Easy."
Li Yu smiled and began to explain his strategy.
Li Yu's strategy was simple.
Now that the Youzhou Army had won several great victories and massacred the Tiele Tribe, they had already drawn enough hatred. Even a fool on the prairie knew that the Youzhou Army was a threat.
Faced with such a threat, the only way for the tribes to deal with it was to send out an alliance army to wipe out the Youzhou Army.
At that time, he could let the Youzhou Army fight against the enemy's allied forces. While attracting the enemy's attention, he could also send a cavalry to attack the encampment of the Ancient Wilderness Tribe and the other grassland tribes. He could take advantage of the fact that their rear was empty and take them down!
"This is a good plan!"
Bai Qi looked at Li Yu excitedly, amazed that this prince could come up with such a good plan.
If this diversion strategy was successful, not to mention the ancient tribe of the wild, even the other tribes would be completely crippled!
At that time, the outer regions of the Turkic steppe would no longer have any soldiers to fight against, and the vast steppe would be left to the Youzhou army!
"We can't carry out this plan alone. Let's go back to Youzhou City and organize a large number of troops.”
Li Yu ordered.
"Yes, sir!"
Baiqi cupped his hands and accepted the order.
A moment later, the Youzhou Army was organized and marched toward Youzhou City.
……
At the same time.
Take the wild ancient tribe.
The tribal council hall was particularly lively today. The leaders and shamans from various tribes sat down and watched the singing and dancing of the beauties of the Western Regions.
In front of each leader and shaman, there were all kinds of delicacies.
There were even fruits from the Central Plains, which were extremely rare in the Turkic steppe during winter.
In such an environment, the leaders and shamans were very happy. They chatted and laughed loudly while eating and drinking.
On the other hand, Tubili, who was sitting on the leader's throne, was out of place in this cheerful atmosphere.
An hour later.
Everyone had eaten and drank their fill. When they were only left to chat, Tubili sat up and waved his hand, signaling the dancers to leave.
The music ended and the dancers left. The lively meeting hall suddenly became extremely quiet.
"Sigh!"
Tu Bili sighed.
"Is the sigh of leader Ba Ye because of the Youzhou Army?”
A leader asked.
"What else could I do? My son Wu Yetu was killed by the Youzhou Army. I didn't take them seriously before.”
Tu Bi Li said in a pained voice.
Hearing his words, the leader and the shamans whispered to each other.
A few minutes later, Batuo, the leader of the Tuye tribe, stood up and shouted,""Everyone, stop talking nonsense. Can you kill the Youzhou Army by talking for half a day?”
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and stopped discussing.
"Tu Bili called us here today to discuss how to deal with the Youzhou Army. I believe that he has his own ideas on this matter.”
Batuo looked at Tubili and said impatiently,"If you have any thoughts, hurry up and say it. Don't keep us in suspense!”
"Alright."
Tu Bili nodded, slowly stood up, and said loudly,"Let's form an alliance army and destroy the Youzhou Army.”
This suggestion was very simple, and the simpler it was, the more it would be approved by the tribes.
"The alliance army is good, I agree."
"I also agree to form an alliance army."
"The Youzhou Army deserves to be killed."
Everyone expressed their opinions.
Seeing this, Tu Bili nodded in satisfaction. He looked at Batuo and asked,"Leader Tuye, what do you think?”
"Of course, I also support the formation of an alliance army. However, didn't we send out an alliance army before? Why don't we let the alliance army change its course and destroy the Youzhou army?”
Batuo asked.
The alliance army he was talking about was the one that bypassed Wu City and went straight for Martial Arts City.
This alliance army consisted of the regular troops of the various tribes. There were no elites among them.
"We are still going to attack the Central Plains, so the alliance army that we sent out before must continue to besiege Wugong City. Then, the various tribes will send out their elites to form a new alliance army to besiege the Youzhou Army!”
Tu Bili explained.
Hearing this, the crowd was not in a hurry to respond.
Previously, the various tribes had already sent out almost all their regular troops to attack Martial Arts City. Now, they were sending out elite troops to form a new coalition army. Wasn't this equivalent to emptying their family's assets?
"Everyone, there's no need to hesitate. Previously, I had sent elite troops to Martial Arts City in order to take down this city as soon as possible. However, before my elite troops could reach the place, the vanguard army was completely wiped out.”
Tubili had already predicted that they wouldn't agree so readily, so he had already prepared an excuse.
"Can't you see that the Youzhou Army is a thorn in our flesh? If we don't get rid of them, our plan to attack the Central Plains will be delayed.”
"Look at the Tie Le Clan. The Youzhou Army has annihilated them all. The Tie Le Clan used to be so powerful and glorious.!”
Everyone present felt that the words that came out of Tubili's mouth made sense.
"Let me ask again, who agrees to form a new elite alliance?”
Tubili asked.
"I agree!"
Batuo was the first to raise his hand.
"I agree too!"
"We all agree."
This time, all the leaders present raised their hands.
"Very good, then we'll start preparing immediately!”
Tu Bili ordered.
This time, all the tribes dispatched their elite troops and formed an alliance army of 500,000 people, which then marched towards Youzhou City in a mighty way.
