"Eunuch Wang, do you have the latest news from Hedong?"

"Back to Your Majesty, yesterday the six doors reported that the 100,000 strikers first besieged Mayi, and then turned around and went to the building······· Li Xiangduan was very good, and he deceived the whole army of Tuli to go south, and then waited for three days under the Loufu Pass. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Li Xiang deliberately showed weakness to the enemy and refused to show his full strength, so that Tuli thought that he could capture the city, but it took several days to build siege equipment, and three days later he attacked the city with all his strength, but he was blown up by Li Xiang's new invention of the explosive bag and lost his armor. ”

When the king's chamberlain said this, his face was full of admiration and admiration.

"Your Majesty, Li Xiang's explosives are really amazing, and the Turks call it thunder punishment and heavenly wrath in awe. At present, Tuli's grain storage should be less than seven days, and he is annoyed by the military building, and he can't advance or retreat. ”

"Hahaha!" Li Shimin laughed.

put down the fold in his hand, leaned back on the chair, and even erected Erlang's legs, holding his beard that was getting longer and longer, and his face was full of joy.

"Li Jing did a good job, the strong walls cleared the wilderness, and the scorched earth strategy created hundreds of miles of no-man's land, so that Tuli could not get food on the spot and feed the war with war. In particular, Li Jing did not retreat into Yanmen but guarded Mayi, which is a live chess move. ”

"Your Majesty, Li Xiang's scheming is also very powerful, turning Tuli around."

"Well, that's true, Li Chao's most is ghost schemes. This guy always likes to use a meter. If it is a different general, with 50,000 soldiers and horses, and guarding the Lou Fuxiong Pass, it is estimated that the first thought is to make a big fanfare and put on a clear frame to scare Tuli back. But Li Chao is different, he has 50,000 soldiers, but he wants to pretend that he only has 5,000 soldiers. If Li Chao had 5,000 soldiers, he would have to pretend to be 50,000 soldiers. ”

Li Shimin remembered that when he transferred Li Chao to Longyou, Li Chao had a group of recruits in his hands, but he insisted on pretending to be the elite army of the imperial court, and he pretended to be successful, scaring away Murong Fuyun, the Khan of Tuyuhun.

Now Li Chao was going to Shuofang, but he ran to Hedong and went to Lou Fu Pass, but he deliberately concealed his identity, and used a spy to trick Tu Li Nan into going downstairs to Fu Guan. He deliberately pretended to have insufficient troops, showing the enemy weakness, so that Tuli was reluctant to leave for a while.

In this way, Tuli has been under the gate for many days, and the grain and grass are almost exhausted, making it even more difficult to ride a tiger.

"Tuli, this person, I saw it back then. Brave and strong, but the mind is a little worse. He ran into Li Chao, and he was really unlucky. I guess Tuli can't get it this time, so don't think about leaving. Li Chao's appetite has always been huge, ordinary generals, all they want is to guard the city, but Li Chao is extremely not so simple, he will think about eating Tuli. ”

"Eat Turi?" Eunuch Wang was surprised, "The 100,000 Tuli army, although it has lost a little in Baideng and Mayi, there are at least more than 90,000 troops." Li Xiang's men are no more than 50,000 men, do you want to transfer General Jing to surround them? ”

"If that's the case, then Li Chao won't be called Li Chao, he will definitely not be called Li Jing. Li Jing's guarding of Ma Yi is also very important. Besides, to deal with a Tuli who has already been tricked, Li Chao doesn't need to call reinforcements. He just needs to tighten the noose slowly, and Tuli will be done. According to what you said, Tuli hasn't figured it out yet, he is facing Li Chao, and he doesn't know that there are 50,000 troops in Lou Fuguan, drag it down, drag it until Tuli is out of food, drag it until his soldiers and horses are tired, and when he wants to withdraw, Li Chao will definitely close the net, at that time, Tuli of food is desperate, how to run? ”

Li Shimin stood up.

Walked to the side, there was a sand table there, which was the sand table of the three passes inside and outside the north, he pointed to the place where Lou Fu Pass, "Look, this is Lou Fu Pass, this is Tuli, and according to what you said, Li Chao is not 50,000 people in the pass, but 10,000 in the pass, and 40,000 outside the pass." If you take a closer look, does Li Chao's layout mean that he wants to catch all the sudden profits? ”

"This guy predicted the direction of the battle early on, and every step of Tuli's actions was calculated by him. It's not that Li Chao can't defeat Tuli, but he is deliberately dragging it out, dragging it to the best time, and then solving it in one fell swoop, he wants to eat Tuli's 90,000 people. ”

The more Li Shimin spoke, the more excited he became, if Li Chao's plan succeeded, he would surround and eat the 90,000 people in Tuli in the valley of the Huihe River in front of Loufu Pass. For the Turks, this is also a time of nerve-wracking. 100,000 forwards, the whole army is gone, and the Turks dare to go south again?

With such a record, and then negotiate with the Turks, I believe that a good result will be negotiated at that time. If Tong Yehu is still arrogant, it is a big deal to continue to fight with the Turks, guarding the line of the Great Wall, and it will not be easy for the Turks to go south.

Although the Tang Dynasty does not have the family background to start a full-scale war with the Turks, it must not be allowed to blackmail the Turks.

Li Shimin knows best how many families the imperial court has.

Although the battle situation went smoothly beyond expectations, Li Shimin was not only happy, but already felt that he could prepare the candidates for the mission.

To promote peace, this is the tone set before.

The plan set by the imperial court before was to send 100,000 soldiers and horses to defend against the Turks, but now 80,000 soldiers and horses have been invested in Hedong Road alone. This is far beyond the original plan, although there are about 30,000 of the 80,000 soldiers, as well as many generals' family soldiers, as well as the government soldiers and township soldiers drawn from Hedong, but so many soldiers, the consumption of grain, grass and ordnance is also very large, with the current post-disaster court, it is impossible to support it for a long time.

"Call Ma Zhou, the Chinese scholar."

Li Shimin admires Ma Zhou very much, this Ma Zhou, who once voted under Zhonglang General Chang He, and later went to Li Chao to work as a bookkeeper, Li Shimin's article and overall situation are very appreciated by Li Shimin, and he can even write a very good word.

After Ma Zhou did the history of Taozhou for half a year, he entered the court and became a scholar and a prince. After the restructuring of the three provinces, the status of Zhongshu Province has been greatly improved, and Zhongshu Shilang has been equivalent to the prime minister.

Li Shimin has not yet given Ma Zhou the title of prime minister of Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, but many affairs in Zhongshu Province are presided over by Ma Zhouzai.

After Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Li Chaochang, Sun Wuji and others went out, Li Shimin became more and more important to Ma Zhou, and many important matters were discussed with him.

"Ma Aiqing, Zhao Guogong is making good progress on the front line, and good news is frequent, and I plan to send someone to negotiate peace with the Turks. Who do you think would be a good fit? ”

Zhongshu Ling and Shizhong Yuan are the third grade, and after the restructuring, they have been promoted to the second grade. Zhongshu Shilang was also promoted to the third grade, which was the same level as the six Shangshu.

Ma Zhou was wearing a purple robe, and after listening to the emperor's words, he thought for a while, "The minister recommends Tang Jian." ”

Tang Jian is an old minister of the Emperor Taishang, his father and Li Yuan are world friends, Tang Jian is very important in the Wude Dynasty, and has served as the governor, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the secretary of the Zhongshu and other important positions.

But after the Xuanwu Gate, he changed to a free cavalry attendant, although the grade was very high, but he did not have much real power.

After Li Shimin heard this, he frowned.

His original intention was to use the eldest grandson Wuji, but the last time the eldest grandson made a mistake, Li Shimin still wanted to give his brother-in-law another chance.

"Tang Jian is still in Xiangyang, if you go north, it's too far, I want to be closer."

As soon as these words came out, Ma Zhou immediately understood the emperor's intentions.

Nearby, closer to that is the northern front, the northern front, the northern front, there are only a few suitable people, Li Chao, Li Jing, Li Ji, Changsun Wuji, etc., Li Chao is the boss, it is impossible to negotiate.

"The minister thinks that Wei Guogong is suitable." Ma Zhou felt that it was not impossible to let the eldest grandson Wuji go, although there was a bit of a mess last time, but the eldest grandson Wuji's kung fu was also very powerful, so it was quite suitable for him to negotiate.

Li Shimin nodded, with a smile on his face, Ma Zhou is this good person, and he understands his thoughts quite well. Although he won't blindly greet him, "Then you draft an edict and let the eldest grandson Wuji go north as soon as possible to negotiate with Tong Yehu!" I estimate that when the eldest grandson arrived in Saibei, Li Chao also killed Tuli at that time. ”

After Li Shimin asked Ma Zhou to write an edict to his eldest grandson Wuji, he asked him to write an edict to Li Chao.

The edict commended Li Chao's progress in the north, and at the same time told Li Chao that he should not be in a hurry, but he must surround Tuli. If the Turks can be completely annihilated and captured alive, then the peace between the imperial court and the Turks will be even more important.

The edict envoy left Beijing on the same day and went to Shuofang and Hedong.

Hedong.

The building is annoying.

After a night of deep thought, Tuli finally decided to storm Lou Fuguan. Although those new weapons were very intimidating to the Turkic soldiers, Shi Jian was right, there were definitely not many of these things in the Tang Army, and secondly, he really had no way out.

If he doesn't go downstairs, he won't be able to go anywhere.

The red sun was rising, the fog under the Lou Fu Pass had not yet dissipated, and the horn of war sounded again, and Tuli directly pressed the whole army this time.

The 90,000-strong army was divided into several teams, and he wanted to use the advantage of the soldiers and horses in his hand to start a wheel battle, and the Tang army at the head of the city could hold out under this fierce attack regardless of casualties.

In this way, the casualties of the siege will be very large, but Tuli has already figured it out, and he can't control those, so it is imperative to take the building first.

"The first person to climb the city will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold!"

Tuli presented a heavy reward.

"Whoever kills one Tang army will be rewarded with ten horses!"

Riding on a tall white horse, Tuli galloped past the neatly lined line, waving his sword and shouting over and over again to cheer the team on.

"Kill!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The fighting spirit of the Turks was quickly ignited, and the fear of explosives bags was much reduced.

"Rush!"

At the sound of an order, the first siege echelon immediately swarmed towards the city.

Seki Castle.

Li Chao had long been observing the movements of the Turks with a telescope, and as soon as he saw the Turks' formation, he knew that today's attack would definitely be fierce.

He called Li Xiuning.

"You've been on guard for days, and the women's army is tired. Today, the guard will be changed, and the other brethren will take over. ”

"We can still fight."

"I know you can fight, but you also have to change your guard and rest, let your people go down to rest first, today's defense must be very hard, maybe you will have to go to the city to support in a while."

Li Xiuning nodded.

Li Chao directly transferred the remaining 7,000 soldiers to the city.

Amid the whining horn and the thunderous sound of war drums, Li Chao pulled out his sword.

"Brethren, the time has come to test us, and when we see that there is no below, the Turks are crazy, and the Turks have come to die, and this is our best opportunity to make meritorious deeds, and to stand on the high head of the city and easily hunt for the lives of the enemy. If you want to be knighted and awarded, promoted and rewarded, it's today! ”

"People are in the city!"

"People are in the city!" Loud shouts echoed through the city.

PS: People are still in Hangzhou, and they may not be able to go home until tomorrow, so there will be fewer updates in the past two days, please forgive me, ask for a monthly pass!
