Chapter 974: The Tang Army Exits

Surrendered to the city.

The triumvirate of the Turkic Southern Expedition gathered.

The Tang army attacked the east and west, gave up the line of Fengzhou, and sent Zhang Shaoming and Lin Kaiyue to lead 100,000 iron cavalry to venture out of the Great Wall and go deep into the Turkic territory.

In this way, the Tang army turned from defense to offense, and from passive to active.

They stationed troops in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty, neither advancing nor retreating, and the situation of the Turks gradually became passive.

King Zuo Xian, King Zuo Gu Li, and Yan Xingjun received the news from the spies one after another, and pondered hard, but still couldn't guess why Yang Yue sent troops to venture deeper.

This move is a snake hitting seven inches, which is related to the life and death of the Turks.

In the palace.

King Zuo Xian, Yan Xingjun led his pro-army to hurry from the east and west, and the three of them gathered together, ready to discuss countermeasures as soon as possible.

King Zuo Gu prepared wine and food, warmly entertained King Zuo Xian, Yan marched, but his face was a little annoyed.

They prepared to conquer the Tang in the south, but the Tang army ignored the existence of hundreds of thousands of their elites and found another way to break into the Turks.

This clearly did not take into account the elite Turkic soldiers who went south.

After the three of them sat down, King Zuogu Li's iron fist slammed on the desk, the wine in the cup spilled, and he said very annoyedly: "King Xian, General Yan, Yang Yue is arrogant, there is no one in his eyes, regardless of the existence of our others, send Zhang Shaoming, Lin Kaiyue to lead the iron cavalry into the Turks.

In this way, why don't we take advantage of the emptiness of the defense of the northern frontier of the Tang Dynasty, wave our troops south, and point our sword at Chang'an?"

Recently, he led the army to defend the surrendered city in the middle and was passive everywhere, which made the king of Zuogu Li feel annoyed.

Are they invaders?

They should be the ones who should launch an offensive!

Unexpectedly, the situation between the two sides has changed imperceptibly.

"Swing the army south, and point the sword at Chang'an?"

King Zuoxian, when Yan Xingjun was drinking, he suddenly heard his voice, and he turned his head to look at King Zuo Guli?

Is this old guy crazy?

Why did you suddenly say such a crazy plan?

What's more, is the defense of Datang's northern Xinjiang really empty?

It's not empty at all!

Even though Zhang Shaoming and Lin Kaiyue each led 50,000 iron cavalry, they went deep into the grassland, and the number of Tang troops on the front line of Fengzhou suddenly decreased.

However, in Fengzhou, Yang Yue personally commanded the army, and his subordinates Guo Xiaoqi, Nan Daoming, Ye Qinghu, and Zhao Xuanhu all controlled the elite, and they were all difficult to deal with.

Yunzhongnei, Luo Shishang, Li Yucheng, Yuan Mingsha, also commanded more than 100,000 elites.

Speaking of which, the Tang army is still equal in numbers with the Turkic elite.

What's more, the Tang army occupied Fengzhou, in the clouds.

The two legions in the city echoed each other from east to west, sending troops to attack one side, and the other side must have rushed to help.

Any invader will be caught in the middle of the east, not to mention whether they can capture the city, if they can't leave in advance, the loss of troops will be inevitable.

The worst is to monitor the 200,000 elites in Fengzhou, after Guo Xiaocai, Zhang Shaoming, Ye Qinghu, Nan Daoming, four generals fiercely attacked, the defenders in the west surrendered to the city only more than 70,000 elite cavalry, the courage of the soldiers is low, and there is no combat effectiveness in the face of huge casualties.

How to lead an army south?

And how should the sword be pointed at Chang'an?

Fighting on the march is by no means child's play, and it is by no means casual talk.

Without the overall deployment of the overall situation, it was thankless to send the army to the south to contribute, but it consumed its own strength.

Yan Xingjun's face was cold, he took a drink from the wine glass, and said coldly: "King Zuogu Li, the southern expedition to the Tang Dynasty is not as simple as expected, if what you said is not angry, it will be necessary to explain the situation in the north to the prince.

On the western front, the elite cavalry under the command of King Xian was killed by Yang Yue, and as many as sixty percent were killed in the battle, and 70,000 low-spirited soldiers stayed in the western surrender city.

On the Eastern Front, a few days ago, the army led by the last general was monitored and pinned down by Lin Kaiyue's troops, and there were several small-scale armed battles between the two sides, and our troops lost nearly 8,000 people.

Recently, Lin Kaiyue led the army to the grassland, Luo Shishang, Li Yucheng, and Yuan Mingsha led the army to monitor, the worst, Li Yucheng and Yuan Mingsha's two legions, like two sharp knives, stabbed from the southeast and southwest, not to mention going south to attack Tang, defending the surrendered city in the east, and keeping the fruits of the current victory, it is not easy.

At present, we should not consider the matter of cutting down the Tang Dynasty, but how to contain Lin Kaiyue and Zhang Shaoming, lest they lead elite troops into the grassland and directly threaten our department."

Yan Xingjun's words were very straightforward, hurting the face of King Zuo Gu Li, King Zuo Xian, but every word was fine, pointing to the core of the problem.

Of the three, he led the army to fight the Tang Army the most times and knew the strategy and tactics of the Tang Army generals best.

In this battle, Yang Yue led a group of generals to stabilize the situation on the border, and sent two fierce generals to lead 100,000 iron cavalry to venture to the grassland, which is not child's play.

If Zhang Shaoming is not good, Lin Kaiyue led the army, and he went to the royal court according to Yang Yue's conspiracy.

"What General Yan said is true, Yang Yue is poisonous enough, ruthless enough, a few days ago, Guo Xiaoqi, Zhang Shaoming, Ye Qinghu, and Nandao led the army to fight, and in the killing, they did not have the idea of leaving a living mouth, as if in revenge for the Turks slaughtering the city in the north, our department lost too much, and in a short period of time, the momentum of the three armies could not be recovered.

And the body of Makiya and Tang Wan is still hanging at the head of Toyosu Castle.

We can try to counterattack the Tang army, but we can't risk the south, at least not before Yiran leads the army south."

King Zuo Xian agreed with what Yan Xingjun said, and to this day, he still does not understand how strong the Tang army is, and it will eliminate the 100,000 elites under his command in one night.

Picking up the wine glass and drinking it all, King Zuo Xian showed a rare smile on his face, and said loudly: "At first, this king hurriedly came, ready to discuss with you about returning to the division to rescue, but on the way received a letter from Yi Ran, the current situation is not as bad as imagined, Yi Ran claimed that Timur has taken the initiative to reconcile with him, and they will inevitably lead the army south within five days!"

"Temur reconciled with Yiran?"

Hearing this, King Zuogu Li, and Yan Xingjun were taken aback and glanced at each other.

Yan Xingjun asked excitedly: "King Xian, Temur is loyal to Agus, why did this old stubborn give up seeking justice for Agus?"

He had a close relationship with Temur, but after the assassination of Argus, Temur suspected him of betraying the Khan, so the two sides became hostile, and there was no correspondence for a month.

At this moment, racking his brains, he couldn't understand why the stubborn and stubborn Timur suddenly abandoned his previous suspicions with Yiran.

"Yes, Temur has received a lot of favors from Agus, and the Khitan on the Eastern Front has not sent troops to conquer our department, why did he suddenly defect?" King Zuo Gu also couldn't figure it out.

King Zuo Xian said with a smile: "Temur has a stubborn personality and is stubborn, but it doesn't mean that he has no pattern and doesn't know how to prioritize, Yang Yue instructed Princess Nuolan to send a letter to Temur, in a vain attempt to win over Temur and destroy the Turks from within, but instead of succeeding in winning over Timur, he was pierced by the other party to break the conspiracy and tricks, and sincerely unite with Yiran to resist the invasion of the Tang army."
