Dawn.

At this time, Chai Shao had been a prisoner all night, but he was lucky, at least the Xuanwu army did not slaughter the prisoners like the Jieli army that broke through Dali before.

The weather in the morning was nice, bright and clear.

There was still some smell of blood in the air that had not been washed away by the morning fog, and Chai Shao was very embarrassed at this time. Still wearing the silk armor that entered the city yesterday for the banquet, this is the habit of the nobles, when attending the banquet, they will not really wear inconvenient and uncomfortable iron armor, they all have extremely fine silk armor made by people.

The silk armor is light and breathable, and the style made is very bright, which is more majestic than real armor.

However, this kind of silk armor is also good-looking, and does not have a real defensive function.

At this time, Chai Shao's exquisite silk armor was covered with dust and blood, and there were even a few big footprints on the buttocks.

His hair was also scattered, and the exquisite jade hairpin was probably taken away by a Xuanwu Army soldier and handed over as trophies, along with the horse lance and horizontal knife he brought with him.

At this point, he was completely immersed in deep self-reproach and remorse.

Why is he so careless, even if he knows that Jieli has captured Dingxiang, and there is no Qin army within a few hundred miles, he should be cautious. He should not have left his army outside the city and entered the city alone.

Last night, the Qin army raided, and most of the generals and colonels were trapped in the city, but they were afraid that the military camp would have no one to command, and they would not be able to resist the surprise attack.

Luo Siye is worthy of the name of the fierce tiger, and he is ruthless.

I don't know how he took the city of Dali, and he actually disguised it so much that he didn't find any suspicion.

The servicemen are ashamed of their failures.

As a disciple of Guan Long's generals, Chai Shao couldn't accept such a failure.

If he is defeated by Luo Siye on the battlefield, he admits defeat. But last night's battle, he lost too aggrieved, he had an army of 80,000.

He was still imprisoned in the county office, and about 100 of the hundreds of officers who had entered the city with him died when they resisted, and the rest were later surrendered. In the second half of the night, hundreds of people were sent in from outside, and at a glance, all of them were those officers in the barracks left by Chai Shao.

It was through their mouths that Chai Shao knew what happened outside after they entered the city.

It was dawn at this time.

A group of captives were lying crookedly or reclining, all with a sullen look on their faces.

Aggrieved.

Depressed.

Rushing from Longyou to Dingxiang, it took three months on the road, although Liang Shidu was defeated in Lingwu in the middle, and surrendered in Jiuyuan to force Yun Dingxing, but it was a small battle.

Originally, he came to Dingxiang to fight a big battle and fight Luo Cheng.

Who knew that Luo Cheng's white tiger face was not seen, so he first asked his brother Fierce Tiger Luo Siye to destroy it first.

Chai Shao stayed awake all night, and his head was still wrapped in gauze.

This was when he insisted on resisting to the end, and was smashed by a Qin soldier with a shield.

However, despite the injury to his head, he was still thinking about the consequences of this defeat.

The emperor's father-in-law did not hesitate to his personal reputation and called the Turkic Jieli Khan to join forces, intending to destroy Luo Cheng, the strongest in the Central Plains, first, but now such a major strategic intention will be destroyed in his hands.

It doesn't matter if he loses, but it will block Jieli's back road.

Not to mention, with 100,000 reinforcements missing all of a sudden, Jieli may face even greater pressure.

Even if Jieli can defeat the Qin army, but after Li Tang's defeat this time, the alliance will also help him at all, how can he get any benefits after defeating the Qin army in the future?

"Chai Shao, come out of the ranks, King Jin wants to see you."

Chai Shao was taken to the gate tower of Dali City, where Luo Siye, the king of Jin, stood on the tower and looked out to the south.

He stood at the head of the city and looked out, but saw only the ruined camp outside the city.

Yesterday, 80,000 Tang troops came to the city and camped for ten miles, how majestic.

But after only one night, the company camp was in ruins, and the army of 80,000 was already in ashes.

"Chai Shao, meet again."

Siye turned around and looked at the embarrassed Chai Shao.

In comparison, the victor Luo Siye was full of spirit and was mighty in iron armor.

Chai Shao and Heiye are acquainted, he also participated in the Eastern Crusade with him before, and he was defeated in the battle of Dali, and the defeat was so miserable, he was so excited that he had nothing to say.

"You are Li Yuan's son-in-law, but as long as you are willing to belong to Great Qin, my emperor is lenient. Xuanba has always followed our emperor, and now he is the Duke of Tang and serves as the general of the forbidden army. ”

Chai Shao just had a cold face and asked him to surrender to the person who had a hatred for taking his wife? No way.

Until now, Chai Shao can't let go of Li Xiuning, let alone forget this shame.

"General Chai still seems to be a little unconvinced?"

"You're just a trickster."

"You are also a disciple of the general, and you are familiar with the art of war and strategy, why do you still say such words? Soldiers, treacherous ways. The use of soldiers is like water, it has always been eclectic, the winner is king, and only look at the result and not the process, isn't it? ”

It's just that these words can't convince Chai Shao, and he is still a hundred unconvinced in his heart.

"It seems that the general refuses to surrender?"

Chai Shao had a cold face and did not speak.

Siye smiled.

"Well, since you don't want to descend, then I won't force it, the cow can't force its head if it doesn't drink water. In this way, how about I send you back to Chang'an? ”

Chai Shao looked at Heiye puzzled.

"Why, you won't come down, and you won't go back? Could it be that the general is bent on sacrificing his life? ”

"What tricks do you want to do?"

Si Ye smiled, "It's nothing, Li Yuan took my wife and children, I'll just rescue them." ”

Qin Kaiyuan second year, June.

Luo Siye first broke Jieli 5,000 to stay in the Turkic army in Dingxiang Dali City, and killed them all after the city was broken. Then disguised the Turkic army in Dali City to ambush the Tang army Chai Shao, defeated the Tang army, captured its main generals Chai Shao and Shi Danai, killed the chief manager Chen Hua, Wang Changkai, etc., killed more than 8,000 enemies, captured nearly 50,000 people, and the rest were scattered.

After this battle, Luo Siye stayed in Dali City for only three days.

Three days later, he sent 3,000 soldiers and horses to escort 50,000 captives to the north to Fanyang, but he led the main force of the Xuanwu army with 30,000 and took Chai Shao Shi Danai and other generals to the west.

Go straight to Wuyuan County, Hetao.

A few days later, Jieli Khan, who had just arrived in the city of Yunzhong County, learned of the military situation of Dali.

Hearing that the 80,000 Tang Army was defeated and dispersed, his 5,000 remaining troops were also annihilated, and he was furious.

"Luo Siye ran away?"

"Even if he runs to the edge of the sky, Ben Khan will never let him go." Regardless of the dissuasion of his subordinates, Jieli insisted on sending troops to pursue Luo Siye, and he appointed his henchman Kang Sumi, "You lead 50,000 troops to pursue Luo Siye, even if you chase him to the ends of the earth, you must bring his head back to me!" ”

At this time, Princess Yicheng, who accompanied the army, took the opportunity to persuade Jieli Khan, "In the past, the Qimin Khan brothers fought for the country, and they relied on the Sui Dynasty to restore the throne, and their descendants have a country." Now that the Central Plains is full of rebellion, none of them are the descendants of Emperor Wen of Sui, and the Yang family of the Sui Dynasty should be established to repay the kindness of the Sui Dynasty, and the Great Khan can also be famous. ”

"But Yang Guang's descendants are all lost in the chaotic army, and Emperor Wen has no descendants left." Jieli also knew that if he could support a puppet of the Sui family, and then go south under the banner of restoring the Sui Dynasty, perhaps there would be less resistance in the future.

"I sent someone to the Central Plains a few days ago, and found my brother's good scriptures, and I just took them. The Great Khan could make him the Son of Heaven of Sui, set Dali City as his capital, let him gather the Han people, recruit the fleeing nobles and officials, etc., and re-raise the banner of the orthodox Sui family in the Central Plains! ”

At this time, after Luo Siye evacuated, Dali was left with only an empty city.

Jieli thought about it, if he let Ke Dun's brother Yang Shanjing be the king of Sui, it would be okay to set up a puppet Sui Dynasty, he sent troops to the south, and then used the name of the king of Sui to rule the captured Taiyuan Hedong and other places, and he would be even more famous.

"Okay, make your brother the Son of Heaven of the Great Sui, and the capital is Dali City!"
