Chapter 964: The Three Armies Converge
After a tense and heated conversation, King Zuo Xian chose to compromise.
Yang Yue personally led the army to fight, which means that the endless Tang army will come from all directions.
Even though Tubo on the western front contained many elites in the Tang Dynasty, the elites in the northeast, northwest, and near Chang'an converged one after another, which still made them unbearable.
On the other hand, the Turks, Temur led his army to denounce Yiran, and the Khitan was eyeing the East.
They led their armies to defeat on the front line, and the Turks would fall into internal and external troubles.
At that time, with the overall strength of the Turks, there was no way to solve these problems from the roots.
When King Zuo Xian thought about it for a while, he said with a serious expression: "Since the army can't go south to attack Tang, we must firmly grasp the areas that have been controlled, even if Yang Yue wants to take back the city on the front line of Fengzhou, he will have to pay a heavy price."
"Yes!"
Tang Wan, Mu Gu, and Su Li nodded.
Preserve the existing interests, gradually consume the strength of the Tang army, wait for Yiran to calm the internal troubles of the tribe, and finally gather superior forces and fight to the death with the Tang army.
King Zuoxian sent a messenger to convey his military orders to King Zuogu Li and Yan Xingjun.
Choose a conservative and prudent strategy.
In the next few days, King Zuoxian, King Zuogu Li, and Yan Xingjun sent their elites to speed up the deployment in the occupied city, build the city, and after leaving the food for the army to consume, all the excess food was transported back to the tribe!
With this, Yang Yue, Zhao Xuanhu, Li Yucheng, and Yuan Mingsha led the Tang army to the front line of Fengzhou.
Yuan Mingsha led 30,000 elite cavalry to deploy defense in the south of Zhongshou City, and Li Yucheng led 30,000 elite cavalry to deploy in the southern part of Shengzhou.
The two generals closely monitored the movements of the Turks according to Yang Yue's orders.
Lin Kaiyue and Luo Shishang, each led 50,000 elites and came from the east.
Luo Shishang led the army to garrison Yunzhong City, and Lin Kaiyue personally led the elite to attack the Dongshou City occupied by Yan Xing's army.
The Tang army arrived one after another, and the situation in the north gradually improved.
Even though Shengzhou and the three surrendered cities were still under the control of the Turks, the Turks did not go south, in a vain attempt to contain the main force of the Tang army with the help of several cities, so as to consume the strength of the Tang army.
Yang Yue led the army to garrison the city of Fengzhou, sent people to arrange Adenuolan, He Qinxin, and immediately summoned the generals to discuss the strategy of recovering the lost territory and inflicting heavy losses on the Turks.
All the generals gathered, Yang Yue had a cold face, stood up in the center of the military tent, and said in a loud voice: "When I led the army to Fengzhou, I received a message from the King of Shu from the Western Front on the way, the Turkic Right Xian King, the Right Valley Li King, has led the army to revolt in Tubo, trying to collude with the Tubo people and eliminate the Tang army on the Western Front.
At present, the king of Shu, Yan Yuefeng, Zhang Xuanheng, Wei Jiyan and other generals are quickly pacifying the harm caused by the defection of the right Xian king and the right valley Li king in Tubo.
Anxi protected Xiao Yun, and the general Guo Huaiyuan led the army to guard the right Xian King in the north, and the right valley Li Wang retreated to the north and was trying to assist the Shu king.
He Hengrui, Yue Shizhong, led the army to respond in the southwest, and also helped the king of Shu to conquer Tibet.
The war on the Western Front encountered temporary dangers, and it may take half a year to completely eliminate Tibet, but it will definitely not change the situation of the Tang army's great victory.
Now, King Zuoxian, King Ligu of Zuogu, and Yan Xingjun led 400,000 elites to the south, and in Shengzhou, the city was surrendered in the east, the city was surrendered in the middle, and the city was surrendered in the west.
This battle is by no means revenge, but to completely eliminate these miscellaneous pieces, remember, these 400,000 elites, do not capture prisoners, do not save the wounded and sick, and wipe them all out."
On the way to lead the army to the north, he suddenly learned that the Turks were killing in the Tang Dynasty and almost killing the people, so Yang Yue made up his mind that he would never let these miscellaneous pieces return to the tribe.
Zhang Shaoming, Nan Daoming, Zhao Xuanhu, and Ye Qinghu were ordered to be able to understand Yang Yue's anger.
When they learned what the Turks were doing in the four cities of Shengzhou, they were eager to completely destroy each other.
"Your Majesty, General Lin, General Luo is in the east to conquer the Yan Xing Army, General Guo is leading the army to arrive in Fengzhou, and the last general requests to lead the army out of the city, conquer the tribe of Zuo Xianwang, and avenge the people in Shengzhou City!" Zhang Shaoming stepped forward and stood in the center of the military tent to ask for help.
Two days ago, Nandao Ming, Ye Qinghu did not advise him to lead the army to Shengzhou, and he endured it.
Now the Tang army is gathering one after another, and the Turks are cowering in the city, and Zhang Shaoming hopes to lead the army to conquer.
"Your Majesty, the last general supports General Zhang's suggestion, it's time to teach the Turks a lesson!" Nan Daoming and Zhang Shaoming stood side by side and said indignantly.
Yang Yue waved his hand, vetoed Zhang Shaoming, Nan Daoming's proposal, and sneered: "Guo Xiaocai, led the army to secretly cross the river from the direction of Lingzhou, I don't know, the ghost came unconsciously, I believe that even if King Zuo Xian noticed the movement of this army, he didn't know when Guo Xiaocai would lead the army to come.
This strange army, according to my arrangement, if it arrives near Fengzhou, Guo Xiaocai will inform in advance and surprise the Turks outside Fengzhou.
Since King Zuo Xian could not defend the city, he tried to wait for Yiran to eliminate Temur, and then gather superior forces to conquer the Tang Dynasty.
Then, in the next few days, we wait for a good opportunity to take the lead in eliminating the Turkic army outside the city of Fengzhou.
Zhang Shaoming, Nan Daoming, you send spies to closely monitor the movements of the Turks outside the city, and get in touch with Guo Xiaoqi as soon as possible.
As long as Guo Xiaocai leads the way and when he leads the troops to sneak attack, Zhang Shaoming, you lead 50,000 elites, and you lead Guo Xiaocai, Nandaoming, you lead 50,000 elites, go to the west to surrender outside the city, and beware of the Turkic elites in the city."
Yang Yue probably guessed the strategy of King Zuoxian, he was waiting for Yi Ran, waiting for Yi Ran to quell the internal rebellion of the Turks, leading the king of Hunhe, the king of Hutu, and other tribal leaders.
At that time, the Turkic elite will march south to Datang, which will pose a very serious threat to Datang.
However, he will never give King Zuo Xian a chance.
"Yes!" Zhang Shaoming, Nandao hugged his fist and shook his head.
At this time, Zhang Shaoming expressed his concern with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, the Turks occupy the four cities of the Tang Dynasty, if the other party can't hold out and forcibly attack the city, I'm afraid there will be a lot of casualties in the Tang army."
"Yes, in recent days, the Turks are rushing to repair several cities, as if they are preparing for a protracted war!" Ye Qinghu echoed.
Several cities in the north, when Zhang Shaoming was stationed in the army, he proposed to strengthen the construction, the city is high and the walls are thick, and it is not easy to recover the lost land with the help of firearms such as earth-shaking thunder.
At the beginning, the Turks were able to seize the city because the Tang army's defense was empty, allowing them to take advantage of the loophole.
Hearing this, Yang Yue raised his head and laughed, and said: "King Zuoxian, King Zuo Guli, Yan Xingjun led more than ten tribal elites to the south, there is still a crisis within the Turks, as long as the crisis in Fengzhou is lifted, the army goes deep into the grassland, King Zuo Xian and other tribal leaders will be impatient to withdraw from the city where they are located, and chase and kill the Tang army that is deep in the Turks, at that time, we will completely grasp the initiative of the war."
