Chapter Forty-Eight: The Khan has reached the realm of the Tang Dynasty

Li Jiancheng's temples jumped suddenly, his blood pressure soared, his wheezing became heavier and heavier, his teeth became more and more itchy, and his eyes became more and more red.

However, looking at Fang Xuanling's unbeaten face, Li Jiancheng said indignantly: "Since the end of the great cause of the previous dynasty, there have been 36 roads in the world against the king, and 72 roads have risen in chaos, taking advantage of the chaos to disrupt the Central Plains, slaughtering the city and plundering the land. The Turks plundered the Central Plains, plundered countless wealth, plundered 100,000 Han women, raped at night, and cooked food at Dan, taking Han as "sheep" and killing them as food. All these are too many to write! When the Turks ascended the throne, they went south to attack Andong, Hebei, and Liangzhou, and if I couldn't wash it away, I wouldn't be able to raise my head in my life. Turks, I must fight. ”

Fang Xuanling came to Li Jiancheng's side, and pointed at Li Jiancheng and said: "Does Your Majesty feel that the humiliation of one person is more important than the lives of tens of millions of people and the safety of the country?" For the sake of His Majesty's face, how many soldiers in the army are going to throw their lives on the battlefield, and how many women, old and young, are about to lose their relatives, Your Majesty promised that the states and counties of the world will be exempted from taxation for three years, and now that it has not even been a year, Your Majesty is going to break its promise and gain weight? ”

Li Jiancheng was so angry that the green tendons on his head were exposed.

The other prime ministers in the hall looked at each other.

Li Jiancheng pointed at Fang Xuanling angrily and said: "Fang Xuanling, you are the right servant of the Tang Dynasty, not a businessman with a copper smell, you can't afford to make no profits, as if fighting is still a money-making business, and you can't fight if you don't make money." Tuli is now cornered and can only ask us for help. This is a great time to send troops. ”

Wei Zheng couldn't help but laugh.

Wei Zheng walked in front of Li Jiancheng, bowed down and said, "Jieli is very difficult, isn't it difficult for Your Majesty?" ”

Li Jiancheng said without hesitation: "With Tuli as the internal response, I am eighty percent sure that I can win this battle." ”

Fang Xuanling sneered: "Eighty percent sure, it sounds good." Your Majesty, you are not the crown prince now, nor are you the governor of the left army of the Tang Dynasty......"

Li Jiancheng was stunned.

Fang Xuanling said: "As a general, you only need to consider the eighty percent victory; But as a Son of Heaven, Your Majesty, what you need to consider is that the failure of the two percent, can today's Datang afford the failure of the two percent? ”

Li Jiancheng was silent.

Fang Xuanling is really not untargeted, let alone unwanted, nor alarmist.

This time, Datang has obtained most of the officers and soldiers in the army because of the streamlining of the army and the dismissal of the old and weak. abolished redundant officials, and got the world's family gate valve. The clan was demoted, and the kings of the clan were obtained.

The current Datang is calm on the surface, but in fact, the undercurrent is rolling, like dry firewood pouring oil, as long as there is a little spark, it will definitely spark the prairies.

Back then, when Yang Guang was against the whole world, if he could give up the second debt to Goguryeo, the state capitals of the world would leave more than a million troops, and those 36 roads against the king and 72 roads would be dusty, and I would go where it would be cool.

At this time, the Turks were dispatched, and everyone was happy if they won, but in case of defeat, the consequences would be like the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the world would be torn apart.

Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng bowed down to Fang Xuanling and said, "Fang Xuanling's question, I really can't get the answer, it is unprofitable for Datang to fight this battle." I have decided to put aside the issue of aid to Tuli for the time being. ”

Everyone got up together and said to Li Jiancheng: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

Li Jiancheng waved his hand tastelessly and left.

……

In the north of the desert, a waning moon emits a faint silver glow, passing through the clouds. On the ground, there was silence in the desert, which was already lifeless, and only the sand and gravel reflected weakly from the moonlight.

In the camp of the Eastern Turkic royal court, countless bonfires were burning, illuminating the entire huge camp as bright as day.

At this time, in the open space in front of the tent of the Jieli Khan, a six-zhang high platform was built.

On the high platform, a demon mask wears a demon mask and holds a magic weapon made of human bones with nine human skeletons the size of a fist.

The sorcerer danced with his hands and chanted while holding the magic weapon.

The Turks held their breath and looked at the wizard.

However, with the wizard's chirping language, it gradually became crazy.

The wizard knelt on the ground, grabbed a handful of white ash from the spittoon on the high platform, and sprinkled it on top of his head.

The Turks also followed the example of the sorcerers, and grabbed the dust and scattered it on their heads.

The wizard took out a small knife, lightly cut a bloody cut in the middle of his forehead, and then took his finger, dipped it in blood, and smeared the blood on the human skeleton.

The Turks also picked up their small knives one after another, aimed them at the center of their foreheads, and gently cut a bloody cut, and blood gushed out along the wound.

Suddenly, an Eastern Turk agent handed a parchment roll to Jieli Khan.

Jieli Khan opened it to watch, then sneered and threw it aside, sneering: "Okay, Tuli fornicated with Datang." It seems that my good nephew is not willing to be lonely. ”

Bulu Genton said: "Tuli is the idea of fighting the throne of the Great Khan, and he wants to borrow the help of the Tang Army." ”

Jieli Khan smiled grimly, "They want to be beautiful. ”

As he spoke, Jieli Khan suddenly got up, raised his hand and said: "Blow the trumpet, order Ye to protect and set up the Khan's tent!" ”

The trumpeter beside Jieli immediately picked up the black and shiny horn and put it to his mouth and blew it.

"Woo ......"

As the whimpering horn sounded, the faces of the Turkic nobles who had been watching the Turkic sorcerers perform sacrifices changed dramatically. This is the war mobilization number, ordinary Turkic soldiers don't have to pay attention to it, but the Turks have leaders above the khan, and all the special services need to enter the big tent.

Soon all the Turkic nobles entered the Great Tent.

Inside the big tent, Jieli Khan used his scabbard to knock on the sheepskin pier.

The Turkic elders all fell silent.

Jieli said: "Tuli is ready to take refuge in Li Tang, and the Great Khan has decided to eliminate the traitor Tuli!" ”

The Four Leaf Protectors Mo He Ye said: "The war horses and livestock of our tribes have suffered heavy losses, and until now, those animals have not recovered. It's not been a year now, so why do you want to go on the expedition again? ”

One of the Khans also said: "If there is another war, this winter, the animals will all freeze to death."

Mo He Ye said: "The animals are all dead, how can people live?" ”

The elders echoed in unison.

Jieli said: "Tuli, if he takes Li Tang's men and horses to attack Dingxiang and Mobei, where are you going?" ”

The Turkic nobles were still reluctant.

After all, they did not believe that the little Turki Khan would defect to the Tang State, and the so-called surrender was probably a conspiracy of Jieli.

Jieli Khan looked at everyone and said unhappily: "In this way, if you are willing to follow me on the expedition, you can get the pastures and slaves of Tuli, more or less, according to the size of the effort." ”

The Turkic nobles looked at each other and nodded to Jieli Khan one after another.

The Turks are a place where strength is king, and their interests are paramount. Although Tuli was the son of Shibi Khan, however, in the face of interests, Tuli was far inferior to actual interests.

……

Dingxiang is located in the Dingxin Plain, surrounded by four waters, compared to the Central Plains, Dingxiang is not a good place. However, relatively speaking, this is a relatively rich place in the north.

The Later Sui court was built in Dingxiang, and Jieli Khan found out that the Han people who were snatched from all over the country were handed over to the Later Sui Dynasty for management, and these hard-working remnants of the Sui Dynasty reclaimed land here.

After several years of development, on the land of more than 2,000 square kilometers in Dingxin Basin, 2 million mu of land has been reclaimed, and two or three million stone of grain can be harvested every year.

The headquarters of the little Khan of Tuli are now stationed in Dingxiang.

In the original history, the Tang Dynasty was relatively weak, and Jieli had no fear, and set up the king's tent in Dingxiang. But in this time and space, he didn't have such courage, but let the Tuli Khan be stationed in the Dingxin Basin.

The main grain-producing areas from the Turks are not to give Turki a place where they can spend oil and water, but in the event of a war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, this will be the main battlefield.

After Tuli moved his troops, the sudden appearance of Tang Jun became his biggest concern. Fortunately, Yu Wenhua and his advice allowed people to unite with Datang and avoid the passive situation of being attacked by the enemy.

Tuli attaches great importance to the direction of the northern general mountain and the defense of Tiemen Pass, of course, once Jieli makes a move, Tuli has no chance of winning. The only thing he could do was to give early warning and flee early.

In a north-facing cave more than ten miles from Tiemen Mountain, a group of scouts under the command of Tuli slept in the cave, burning a bonfire, roasting meat, and boiling Nuno soup in an iron pot.

The scouts, who had been asleep, suddenly got up, lifted a large handful of wet mud over the fire to extinguish the fire, and lay on the ground, their ears pressed to the ground and listened intently. The dozen or so sentry riders also did not hesitate to throw down the unfinished tea soup and lay on the ground, like a group of hunters who had spotted a beast approaching.

The pebbles on the ground trembled slightly, which was no illusion.

The leader of the scouts lowered his voice and said, "There is a large group of cavalry coming this way!" ”

"I heard everything, what should I do?"

The leader said, "Get on the horse, let's go to the gentle slope, where we can see farther!" ”

The sentry riders looked solemn, quickly packed up their things and turned over their horses, clamped the horse's belly, and the horses ran towards the gentle slope a hundred paces away.

The gentle slope is not high, and it looks like about 100 zhang, but the terrain in this area is flat, and you can see the distance with such a commanding height. A dozen riders carefully parted the bushes, climbed up the gentle slope, and looked into the distance, and the scene made them stunned.

Fireflow!

Tens of thousands of torches converged into a stream of fire that swept away in the direction of Dingxiang!

The Turkic cavalry had a torch in their hands, and they galloped against the night wind, and when the torches were still, they were like stars falling from the sky and scattered all over the ground, and when they moved, they were like a river of flames.

At this time, so many Turkic cavalry flocked in, which is obviously not a good thing, this is not to kill all the Turkic troops, and they will definitely not stop.

......Before he could let out an exclamation at the magnificent and terrifying scene, the arrow burst through the air. The Turks had spent their entire youth in the flames of war, and all of them had experienced a hundred battles, so naturally they would not be unaware of the role of this gentle slope. In order to ensure the secrecy of the main force of the army, they scattered dozens of times more sentry horses under the command of Tuli, and opened the power guard curtain, and this small sentry horse just collided with their fangs.

Under the moonlight, twenty or thirty fierce lightly armed Turkic cavalry roared, their strong bows drawn into a full moon, and their arrows were like pearls, shooting at the Turkish military sentry cavalry that occupied this small commanding height. Their arrows were so precise and powerful that three or four of the Turkish sentry were immediately shot at the vital point, and fell to the ground screaming, and after a few spasms, they were silent.

The leader of the Sentinels shouted, "Return fire! ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, a sharp wolf's tooth arrow shot through his mouth and out of the back of his head......

A dozen or so Turkish sentinels endured the sharp arrows flying like locusts, shot with their bows and crossbows, and after shooting two arrows, they immediately drew their swords and pounced on the Turkic knights who had already killed them, and fought with them, and this small sentry was overwhelmed by the rolling iron horses in an instant......

In the east, the white of the fish's belly is revealed, and the sun slowly rises behind the horizon. Facing the rising sun, in a military fortress at the front of the Tiemen Pass defense line of Jiangjun Mountain, the defenders under the command of Tuli saw a bloodstained sentry riding a war horse that was also covered in wounds galloping towards them.

The war horse was foaming at the mouth and nose, and the oil had run out. They hurriedly opened the gate and let the sentry in. When the sentry rode to the door, the horse suddenly neighed, and fell to the ground, knocking the knight on horseback upside down, and breaking his head and bleeding. Before passing out of his coma, the knight shouted hoarsely at the dumbfounded defenders: "Quick, light the beacon fire, the Jieli army has been killed, there are 100,000 ......."

This terrible news caused a commotion in the military village, and the colonel, who was in charge of all the affairs of the entire military village, roared: "Hurry up and carry people down for treatment!" You, hurry up and light the beacon fire! You, hurry up and ride to Dingxiang to inform the Khan that Jieli is coming! The others blocked the gate of the village and moved all the wood ash bottles, quick! ”

Soon, the beacon fire of this military fortress was ignited, and a thick smoke rushed straight into the sky, and it could be seen twenty or thirty miles away.

Then, another beacon fire was ignited. A series of military villages and beacon towers lit beacons one after another after seeing the signal, and the pillars of smoke spread to Dingxiang like a starting point in Jinzhou. About half an hour later, Tuli in Dingxiang City had already picked up the terrible news.

Almost at the same time, Tuli also heard the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves, and faintly heard from the horses' hooves: "Don't run away from Tuli......"

Inghefu hurried towards Tuli: "Khan, the children can't stand it, there are too many people in Jieli.

Tuli's face turned pale: "Run!" ”

Inhefer and a group of guards set up a sudden attack and fled for their lives.

As soon as Turki left the city, a large group of Turkic troops also rushed into Dingxiang City.

Jie used Tuli's title to reward the nobles, claiming to kill or capture Tuli alive, and directly named the little khan.

Seeing that the turian wolf's tail left Dingxiang City, the Turkic cavalry behind immediately divided their troops to pursue.

Tuli and his guards were running in front, and smoke and dust were billowing in the distance, and the cavalry of the brigade were struggling to catch up.

The turbulent horse slumped to the ground with a grief.

The surrounding guards dismounted and lifted Tuli to his feet, and helped Tuli to the other horse.

Tuli continued to run wildly.

On the side of the road, there is a stone monument with the words 'Yuanqiu County' written on it.

The dusty and embarrassed retinues led the horses.

Ying Hefu pointed to the original enemy city in the distance in surprise and said, "Khan, you have reached the realm of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Tu Lize stepped forward immediately, holding a pergola and looking into the distance.

Two lines of hot tears fell from Turi's cheeks.

Half a month later, the remnants of more than 100 troops led by the Tang army and arrived at Chang'an City.

In the Xiande Palace, Tuli saw Li Jiancheng, he took his knees as a step, moved to Li Jiancheng, howled and cried, and said: "Your Majesty, Jieli, this beast is not as good, even the doll will not be spared, and all the people of the ministers have been killed by him." Jieli said that he wanted to unify the grassland, and then lead a million iron horsemen to level the Central Plains. Your Majesty, the minister is now homeless, and please ask Your Majesty to take in the minister's subordinates.

Li Jiancheng sat on top of the Danqi with a gloomy face, without saying a word.
