Chapter 312 The Western Regions Kingdoms Attack
His arms were as thick as tree roots, his eyes were wide open, and his face was full of fierce flesh; he was clearly not someone to be trifled with.
"Kuohai is right. If it's about dealing with the Sui Dynasty, I can help you fight it."
But you let barbarians into the pass, harming the people on the border. I am ashamed to be associated with you!
Another man with a red face and yellow beard roared, his hair and beard bristling, his eyes wide with rage.
His fists were clenched so tightly they cracked, as if he wanted nothing more than to punch Xue Ju in the face.
These two men, Xiong Kuohai and Wu Tianxi, were renowned heroes with exceptional martial arts skills and immense strength.
They had once planned to travel together to Siping Mountain to help Wu Yunzhao and lend him a hand.
Unexpectedly, before they even arrived, the rebel king of Siping Mountain was defeated.
The 800,000-strong army dispersed, and Wu Yunzhao also died in battle.
Left with no other choice, they had to turn back and make a wasted trip.
Later, he intended to join Dou Jiande in Hebei, but learned that Qin Qiong had also joined Dou Jiande's forces.
They considered themselves to be honorable heroes, upright and incorruptible, so how could they associate with this traitor who betrayed his master and harmed his uncle?
Wouldn't that be lowering one's status?
Finally, they heard that Xue Ju had risen up in the northwest and proclaimed himself the Hegemon-King of Western Qin, so they came to join him.
However, Xue Ju's actions today, which allow foreign tribes from the Western Regions to enter the pass and harm the people on the border, have truly chilled their hearts.
"My two brave warriors, I am also striving to defeat the tyrannical Sui Dynasty..."
Xue Ju knew the abilities of Xiong Kuohai and Wu Tianxi; each was more capable and brave than the other.
At this point, he still wanted to persuade the two to stay and help him.
"This is not a place you can come and go as you please."
Xue Rengao stepped forward with his sword, blocking their path.
By doing this, Xiong Kuohai and Wu Tianxi were slapping the Xue family in the face, and slapping his father in the face.
If we just let them go, what will become of the Xue family's reputation? How will they be able to command respect in the future?
"What do you intend to do?"
Xiong Kuohai glared with his bull-like eyes and said fiercely, not taking Xue Rengao seriously at all.
"snort."
Xue Rengao snorted coldly and dashed out in a flash.
Without drawing his sword, he used his fists and feet to try and intimidate Xiong Kuohai.
"King Xue, I'll teach this son a lesson for you."
Xiong Kuohai didn't hesitate either, raising his fist to counterattack, the wind from his punches whistling, displaying a fierce and powerful force.
The two men clashed with brute force, each punch landing with a resounding thud.
For a time, neither side could gain an advantage, and the fight was fierce and evenly matched.
But as time went on, Xue Rengao gradually showed signs of weakness, his breathing became rapid, and his steps became unsteady.
Xiong Kuohai was incredibly strong; each punch was like a hammer, making Xiong Kuohai's arm go numb.
The surrounding Western Qin generals also began to watch intently, their hands on their sword hilts, ready to swarm forward at any moment.
"Enough, Ren Gao, you are no match for these two brave men."
Seeing that his son was no match for him, Xue Ju immediately shouted.
"Goodbye!"
Xiong Kuohai and Wu Tianxi glanced at Xue Ju, then turned and walked away without looking back, their steps firm and their backs resolute.
Xue Rengao's eyes were sinister, his face ashen, but he was helpless and could only watch the two leave.
Known in the army as a warrior capable of defeating ten thousand men, he was invincible among his troops.
But he just couldn't understand why he couldn't defeat Xiong Kuohai.
"Gentlemen, slow down!"
Among the Sui army was a man named Pei Yuanqing, who was extremely brave and wielded a pair of silver hammers, and no one could stop him.
"Could you two brave warriors help me defeat this man before I leave?"
Just then, Xue Ju called out to the two of them, his voice filled with a mixture of pleading and urgency.
He recognized the abilities of Xiong Kuohai and Wu Tianxi.
These two are exceptional warriors, one in a million. If they could be kept, they would be a great help.
If the two leave, Xue Rengao alone probably won't be able to defeat Pei Yuanqing.
"I'm not helping you, I'm doing this to deal with Pei Yuanqing."
Wu Tianxi helped Xiong Kuohai make the decision.
Pei Yuanqing was a subordinate of Lü Xiao, who was also the one who killed Wu Yunzhao and was Wu Tianxi's enemy.
Since he couldn't seek revenge on Lü Xiao, he decided to kill Pei Yuanqing first to vent his anger, which would also be a way to collect some interest from Wu Yunzhao.
Seeing that the two men were willing to help him this once, Xue Ju was overjoyed and immediately ordered a banquet to be prepared to entertain the two brave men.
While deploying troops, he also sent people to the Western Regions to invite the Western Turks to enter the pass.
This time, he's going to go big.
the other side.
In the Western Regions, sandstorms raged and yellow clouds obscured the sun.
Foreign nations gathered here, each assembling their troops.
Led by the Western Turkic Shekui Khan, tens of thousands of cavalrymen marched towards Jincheng.
The sound of horses' hooves thundered, dust billowed, and the sky was obscured.
Murong Fuyun, the restored ruler of Tuyuhun, once again returned with a vengeance, joining the eastward advance and vowing to avenge the loss of his kingdom.
Most of the other countries had previously traveled to the Sui Dynasty to participate in martial arts competitions.
Later, they were suppressed by Lü Xiao alone, who forced them to shout that Yang Guang was the Heavenly Khan.
It is taken orally, but not mentally.
They have never forgotten the humiliation of being thoroughly beaten down by Lü Xiao back then.
Now, taking advantage of the internal strife in the Sui Dynasty and the outbreak of war in various places, they are determined to avenge this humiliation and wipe away their shame.
"We've heard that Yang You, the crown prince of the Sui Dynasty, has already reached Xue Ju's doorstep. Who among you is willing to go first?"
As the Western Turkic Khan Shekui marched, he inquired about the rulers of the surrounding kingdoms.
However, no one responded to these words.
The crowd looked at each other, speechless.
They did want to take advantage of the situation and profit from the chaos, but they didn't want to be the first to step forward or be the first to stick their necks out.
If the Sui army is strong, wouldn't those who charge ahead be sending themselves to their deaths?
"Our country is willing to go!"
Just then, a man on horseback shouted, his voice booming like a bell, his momentum unstoppable.
This man is the Wolf Lord of the Western Hami Kingdom, and one of his generals is named Wang Buchao.
Although he is over fifty years old and his hair is gray, he is still vigorous and energetic.
Wielding a serpent spear, he roamed the Western Regions, invincible and renowned.
"Then I'll trouble you."
Shekui Khan glanced at the Wolf Lord of Hami Kingdom and said, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.
"Wang Buchao, how about I give you two thousand wolf cavalry?"
"The Wolf Lord of Hami Kingdom asked, turning to look at the old general behind him."
That's enough!
A burly man rode atop a black horse, standing out from the crowd with his upright posture and imposing presence.
Immediately, Wang Buchao led two thousand wolf riders away from the main force and galloped eastward at breakneck speed, their hooves thundering and dust billowing.
Two thousand wolf riders, fierce as wolves and tigers, charged straight towards Jincheng.
At this time, Yang You, unaware that the Western Regions kingdoms had entered the pass, had already arrived in Jincheng with his troops.
The army of 250,000 men, with banners waving and swords and spears flying everywhere, was magnificent and imposing.
He looked at the distant city gate, his eyes filled with excitement, and his heart was pounding.
Taking this place will allow us to completely annihilate Xue Ju and eliminate him from the root of the problem.
If he defeats Li Gui and recovers the entire northwest region, he can then return to the capital.
Lu Xiao pacified the Jianghuai region, and he pacified the Northwest; he will not be inferior to Lu Xiao in this regard.
