Chapter 980: Seeking to Capture Dingxiang County
980. Seek to capture Dingxiang County
Thinking of this, Li Pojun also took a closer look at Zhang Gongjin, but found that Zhang Gongjin had a very good complexion, and at first glance he was a strong man, unlike Qin Qiong, whose face was sallow and sick at first glance, Li Pojun really couldn't figure out why such a person died young, maybe it was some hidden disease, and in the future, maybe he could ask the medicine king to check Zhang Gongjin.
Zhang Gongjin also smiled heartily when he heard Li Pojun's praise, and said bluntly: "Your Highness has won the award, I don't know if Your Highness has anything to say in private?" "Zhang Gongjin is a martial artist, his hearty and heroic temperament makes him not good at beating around the bush, such a person is heroic enough and easy to make friends.
When Li Pojun heard this, he took out the letter of invitation from the Turkic general Kang Sumi from his arms and handed it to him, Zhang Gongjin thought at first that Li Shimin had some secret mission to hand over to him, but when he took it, he immediately changed color.
After reading it, his face was also solemn, and he asked directly: "Your Highness, what is this...... Is it credible? ”
Li Pojun nodded and said: "At least seven or eight points are credible, my spies have been in contact with Kang Sumi, and Kang Sumi is a person who has a strategy, so he should be able to distinguish the general trend."
After saying that, Li Pojun said again: "Even if it is seven or eight points credible, we have to fight for it." Kang Sumi is a Turkic general, and it would be great if he could surrender without blood, not to mention that there is a pseudo-Sui king, so I asked to go on the expedition."
Zhang Gongjin folded the letter and returned it to Li Pojun, and also nodded in agreement, "What His Royal Highness said is very true, I have dealt with Kang Sumi, this person is not like other Turkic generals, he loves Sinology, and also found some Han scholars as staff, when His Majesty ascended the throne, he led troops to attack, and Kang Sumi also stayed in the grassland in the future." Kang Sumi has always been stationed in Dingxiang County, and often with Yang Zhengdao and other former Sui remnants, if he has the heart to belong, it is also reasonable. I'm afraid...... Yang Zhengdao and others have twists and turns". Saying that, Zhang Gongjin also frowned.
Li Pojun was puzzled when he heard this, and asked directly: "I have heard for a long time that Yang Zhengdao is cowardly and has no opinions, and has no great ambitions, what twists and turns can he be born?" ”
Hearing Li Pojun's words, Zhang Gongjin smiled and said straightly: "Yang Zhengdao is dispensable, there is nothing to worry about, he is just a supported pawn when he is the pseudo-king of Sui, and the real trouble is the Turkic Kehedun, the former Sui princess Yicheng."
Li Pojun also suddenly realized when he heard this, the Turkic Khatun is the wife of the Turkic Khan, if the Khan is the king, the Khatun is the princess, and now the Turkic Khotun is the famous Princess Yicheng in history.
This Princess Yicheng is not Yang Guang's daughter, just a clan woman, but a strange woman, but also a poor woman, married four times in her life, married to Qimin Khan a few years, Qimin Khan died, Princess Yicheng was Qimin Khan's son Shibi Khan, however, Shibi Khan is also a short-lived ghost, the successor is Shibi's younger brother Chuluo Khan, according to Turkic customs, Princess Yicheng married Chuluo again, but Chuluo is still a short-lived ghost, and died in a few years, Princess Yicheng married the brother of Chuluo Khan, Lili Khan, and her life can be described as a bad fate.
At the time of the crisis, Princess Yicheng falsely passed on the military information, saying that it was "an emergency in the north", and Shibi hurriedly withdrew from the army and rescued Yang Guang. Later, Yang Guang died in Jiangdu, and Princess Yicheng faked the tiger's might, and took advantage of the prestige of the Turks to ask for Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao from Dou Jiande, and supported them in Dingxiang County to restore the country and rebuild the Great Sui.
The Northern Sui regime of Dingxiang County can be regarded as established by Princess Yicheng, and now Kang Sumi wants to use Dingxiang County as an audience as a certificate of nomination to the Tang Dynasty, and it is strange that the Duke of Yicheng will not stop it.
However, Li Pojun was not worried, in the face of Zhang Gongjin's worries, Li Pojun smiled and said: "Uncle Hongshen, don't worry, although Princess Yicheng is a Turkic Kehedun with a high status, she has no military power. The more than 10,000 shrimp soldiers and crabs in Dingxiang County are definitely not Kang Sumi's opponents, plus our army responds, Dingxiang County must go."
Zhang Gongjin also nodded when he heard this, but said again: "But the army of Ma Yi is not to be used, the chief manager instructed before leaving, and three days after he captured Xiangcheng, he will do his best to occupy Xiangcheng to join the division, that is, tomorrow, the army will be pulled out, and the order of the general manager cannot be violated, but this opportunity to set Xiangjun is really rare."
Li Pojun was overjoyed when he heard this, you are leaving, isn't it my turn to capture this Dingxiang County. It's not that it's about grabbing credit, it's really Li Pojun's blood that makes him unwilling to be mediocre.
"Haha, why didn't my uncle think of the Divine Army. I have 8,000 soldiers in the Shence Army, not because I brag, but my uncle also saw it during the day, they are all well-trained elites, and more than half of them are veterans who pacified Youyan and exterminated the pseudo-Liang with me. Li Pojun laughed and said proudly.
It's not that Li Pojun is proud, and he does have this capital, the elite of the Shence Army is obvious to all, Zhang Gongjin also raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said with a straight smile: "I forgot for a while, there is such a mighty army as His Highness leading the Shence Army, and Dingxiang County is at your fingertips."
Did he really forget, definitely not, if he forgets so badly, he can become a celebrity. First, the enemy general has to name and name His Royal Highness the Prince, and secondly, he wants to go north, since this Dingxiang County has nothing to do with him, then he will pretend to be confused and let His Highness take it himself, and he doesn't have to take the initiative himself, let His Highness take the initiative to propose better, Zhang Gongjin looks majestic, but in fact, he is as careful as a hair.
"The Dingxiang Dao army will start tomorrow, and this Dingxiang County will be handed over to His Highness." Zhang Gongjin also said with a smile, he didn't treat Li Pojun as a child between his words, which made people feel like a spring breeze, Li Pojun was also very happy to listen to, and praised in his heart: Zhang Gongjin can be a man. At the same time, I thought: In history, after Zhang Gongjin's death, his father cried and cried to the funeral regardless of the emperor's etiquette and auspiciousness.
Li Pojun asked Zhu Cheng to deliver the 30,000 sets of cotton winter clothes, Zhang Gongjin looked at this new winter clothes, tried it, and found that this winter clothes were very warm on the body, and the body would even heat and sweat when sitting by the fireside, and he was also very happy, and he patted the winter clothes and smiled: "With this winter clothes, the Northern Expedition has a better chance of winning."
Zhang Gongjin also knew that this cotton was discovered by Li Pojun and advocated promotion, and praised it vigorously.
