Chapter 898 Expressing their own opinions
Dongfang is white, Duanmu Ye led the Liaodong Army, captured prisoners in the barracks, and cleaned up the battlefield.
After a night of fierce fighting, the Tang army won a complete victory, and the wolf rider lost his armor and fled in embarrassment.
When Duanmu was drinking water at night, Yang An, the forward general, walked over, saluted and reported: "General Yu, last night killed more than 10,000 enemies, captured nearly 30,000 prisoners, and captured countless money, grain, gold and silver."
"Hmm!"
"Pass the general's order, thirty percent of the gold and silver will reward the three armies, and the rest of the money and grain will be confiscated, and you will personally escort it to Youzhou, hand it over to Zhao Junxian, and let him report to the court."
Thinking slightly, Duanmu Ye's eyes swept over the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield, and he commanded loudly!
Today, the Tang army won a complete victory, completely ate the right valley Liwang department, and successfully completed the emperor's deployment.
At this moment, even if Attila transmitted the news back to the royal court, even if Yelu Yao learned about the situation in the east, there was no chance to change the outcome.
The Tang army fought quickly and killed quickly, and adopted a blitzkrieg, so that the wolf riders were not on guard, and there was no room to fight back.
......
The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep!
Khitan Royal Court!
It took half a day for Yelu Puhua to reach the royal court from the eastern route non-stop.
Without a moment's delay, under the leadership of Yelu Jinshan, he went to the king's tent to report Yang Yue's movements to Yelu Yao, and suggested that Yelu Yao send envoys to the Turks, and persuaded Argus to send elites to the south to invade the Tang Guannei Road and Hexi Road.
Let the northern border of the Tang Dynasty be completely in crisis, and the Khitan took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
Surround Youzhou, capture Yang Yue alive, and lobby the Turks to go south?
Yelu Puhua's suggestion is contrary to Yeluyao's long-term policy.
Previously, Yelu Puhua led his army to defeat on the Western Front, and he was forced to rest on the Eastern Front of the front and peek into the Bohai Sea along the way.
In Yelu Yao's planning, he seized the Bohai Sea, but also minimized the influence and destructive power, and controlled the matter within an effective range.
Even if they capture the Bohai Sea, they can barely maintain the alliance with the Tang Dynasty, after all, the common enemy of both sides is the Turks.
Yelu Puhua suddenly proposed the captured Yang Yue, so that Yelu Yao was not on guard, which clearly deliberately broke the alliance between the Khitan and the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, lobbying Agus to send elite cavalry to invade the Tang Dynasty's Hedong Road and Guannei Road will inevitably affect the Khitan arrangement.
One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, the Khitan and the Turks are all evil tigers in the grassland, after all, there are tribes that are annexed in advance.
The stakes are so important and the influence is far-reaching, Yelu Yao does not dare to make a rebel army with Yelu Puhua's one-sided words!
Immediately send messengers to the tribes, summon the king of Zuoxian, the king of Zuoguli, and the newly canonized king of Youxian, and discuss this with his confidant generals.
led the elite to surround Youzhou, whether he could break the city and capture Yang Yue, Ye Luyao was not completely sure.
One point, his heart is like a mirror, once the siege of Youzhou, the alliance between the Khitan and the Tang Dynasty will be destroyed, and the Khitan and Turks will abandon their previous suspicions and reach an alliance.
Within one day, the prince and the general, who led the army to garrison various places, rushed back to the royal court from all directions, and Yelu Yao informed everyone of Yelu Puhua's suggestion.
After half a day of discussion, most of the princes did not support Yelu Puhua's suggestion.
In their eyes, the Turks eat people and bones, and they have suppressed the Khitan for many years, and the hatred between the two sides is not shared.
On the other hand, the Tang Dynasty, for many years, has been the granary, treasury of the Khitan, and the various departments have no grain, and they went south to the Tang Dynasty to loot, without gold and silver, and rode horses to the Tang Dynasty to loot.
A powerful Turk will make the steppe unstable, and the Khitan is like a grass that lives in the cracks, and it does not want to rise.
A strong Tang Dynasty is like a huge treasure house, a granary, with an inexhaustible supply of grain and silver.
The prince of the tribe close to the Tang Dynasty would rather continue to cooperate with the Tang Dynasty than let the Turks wipe out the Tang Dynasty and threaten the Khitan, and eventually even the Khitan was eradicated.
Even though Yelu Puhua repeatedly emphasized that under Yang Yue's notice, the Tang Dynasty had successively recovered the areas controlled by the Jiedu envoys in various places, successfully controlled the northeast externally, and dealt a heavy blow to the Turks.
The kings were still convinced that the powerful Turks posed a far greater threat to the tribes than the Tang Dynasty.
It is imperative to take the lead in recovering and joining forces with the Tang army in the coming days to eradicate the Turks, and the two sides will settle accounts after the autumn.
After discussing all day, Yelu Puhua was exhausted, but with little success, and he even doubted whether his decision was correct.
At night, Yelu Puhua was unwilling to let his suggestion go to waste, and personally went to the sweat tent to find Yelu Yao to talk to secretly, hoping to be the first to lobby the other party and get his support.
It's a pity that after a lot of hard work and hard work, he still didn't change Yelu Puhua's mind.
Yelu Puhua understands his brother's character, he is very stubborn, stubborn, and always insists on the interests of the Khitan.
Without a perfect certainty, the tribe will not get any benefits, and if you don't see a rabbit, you won't scatter an eagle!
After persuading in the middle of the night, Yelu Yao always insisted on putting the overall situation first!
In desperation, Yelu Puhua was ready to rest in the royal court for a night, return to the front line in person, and promote according to his own plan.
Since words cannot prove his choice, he can only prove it by military merit!
The next day, early in the morning!
When Yelu Puhua had breakfast and was about to return to the front, Yelu Yao sent his own army to summon him to the king's tent.
When he first heard the news, Yelu Puhua was surprised, could it be that Yelu Yao temporarily changed his attention!
However, he quickly denied his idea, last night he tried hard to persuade for half the night, to no avail, how could the other party suddenly change his mind in the early morning?
With a puzzled expression, he went to the king's tent, and the king of the left and right, the king of Zuoguli, and several of Yeluyao's cronies all gathered in the king's tent.
At the same time, he saw traces of Attila and Movor in the king's tent, and the two generals were in rags, their armor was stained with blood, and their hair was scattered, and they were miserable!
Seeing the situation of Attila and Movol, Yelu Puhua chuckled in his heart and sighed secretly!
He came to the royal court, Attila and Movol led the army to guard the barracks, and today, suddenly appeared in the king's tent, it could be that the royal department of the right valley was attacked during his visit to the royal court.
Yelu Puhua hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Attila's armor, and asked in a cold tone: "Attila, Movol, what happened on the front line, why did you suddenly return to the royal court when you didn't lead the army to sit in the army?"
Attila had a bitter face, licked her chapped lips, and when she hesitated, she let out a puff, knelt on her knees, and cried out: "Lord Wang, it's gone, it's all gone!"
The boy has tears and doesn't flick, but he hasn't reached the sad place!
100,000 wolves rode in just one day and night, like a broken wall, and disappeared in an instant.
Years of hard work were ruined.
Hearing this, Yelupuhua's face turned pale and exclaimed, "Attila, you make it clear, what's all gone?"
At this moment, he vaguely guessed what Attila meant, but without the other party's confirmation, he didn't dare to believe it, and he didn't want to believe it!
Seeing Attila's bitter expression, Movol walked up and said sadly: "Lord Wang, in one day and night, 100,000 wolves rode in the military camp, and they were almost annihilated by the Tang Army!"
"What?"
"One hundred thousand Tang troops, almost annihilated by the Tang army!"
Yelu Puhua panicked, he didn't know what happened to the tribal wolf rider, and he was almost lost in a day and night!
Datang has garrisons in the northern border, but it is not easy to annihilate 100,000 wolf riders in a very short time.
In the king's tent, except for Ye Luyao, who had already learned about the situation of the right valley king in advance, and barely kept his composure, the left and right virtuous kings, the left valley Li king, and the generals who could fight well, were all taken aback, and they could hardly believe Movol's report!
They knew that when the Liwang Department of the Right Valley fought against the Turks on the Western Front, they lost half of the elites, but there were still 50,000 elites, not to mention, recruiting new troops in the army, even if they personally led the army, it was impossible to destroy 100,000 wolf horsemen in one day and night.
They did not have such a record, and neither did the Turkic generals.
For a moment, panic, restlessness, anxiety.
The kings and generals finally believed Yelu Puhua's previous fears, but unfortunately, they hesitated and paid a heavy price for the tribe.
When Yelu Puhua calmed down for a while, he asked, "What the hell is going on, Movol, you can tell me clearly?"
Movol took a long breath, his face was annoyed: "....", told Yelu Puhua what happened in the eastern grassland, turned around and clenched his fists and said to Yelu Yao: "Great Khan, Yang Yue took a blitzkrieg, and attacked the Liwang Department of the Right Valley with lightning speed, clearly did not want to expand the war, and wanted to weaken the Khitan, the last general suggested that the tribal army and horses should be rectified, and by the way, send envoys to the Turks to persuade Agus, Khitan, and the Turks to wave their troops south, and take advantage of the Tang Dynasty's troops to put in the west, Guannei Road, Hedong Road, and Hebei Province to defend the emptiness, Comprehensively break into the territory of Datang and pay for the blood debt."
His suggestion was almost identical to Yelupuhua's proposal, but there was a thick murderous and angry anger in his voice.
At this time, Attila got up and said to Yelu Yao: "Great Khan, the Tang army has a sharp weapon to kill the enemy, the earth-shaking thunder, fighting with the Tang army, the wolf rider must be cautious, beware of the earth-shaking thunder, otherwise, if the Tang army has enough earth-shaking thunder, even if the entire tribe goes south, it is impossible to break through the Tang army's defense."
He believed that the combat power of the wolf rider was not weak, and this time he fell from the victory to the lost dog, in the final analysis, they did not expect the Tang army to have a thunderstorm, and the wolf rider did not protect in advance and effectively defend.
The wolf rider encountered the earth-shattering thunder, almost had no power to fight back, not to mention the heavy casualties, and the majestic and high-spirited state of mind was all dissipated in the rumbling artillery fire.
The king's tent was quiet, and the king of the left and right, the king of the left valley, and the generals present were in a very bad mood.
In the past few days, they had not yet taken the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Army in their eyes, but the other party was silent, easily killing the tribe's 100,000 wolf riders.
The powerful weapon of control can also cause harm to the tribe.
Today's Tang Dynasty is no longer the Tang Dynasty that they slaughtered in the past, and today's Tang Army is no longer the Tang Army that fled when encountering wolf horses.
If the power of Datang is weakened as soon as possible, they will sooner or later become Datang's meal.
When Yelu Yao heard this, his face was bitter and said: "Agus is cunning and cunning, Yiran Khan is insidious and cunning, these two people are restoring Turkic power, the tribe suddenly lost 100,000 elites, send envoys to go, if Agus, Yiran Khan is willing to settle the past suspicions with the tribe, the two sides work together to lead the army south, and the tribe still has a chance to take revenge.
If they are obsessed with the past, and learn that the tribe is fighting against the Tang army, and suddenly loses their troops, they may not only not cooperate, but will lead the army to conquer the Khitan and take the opportunity to fall into the ground!"
At this moment, Yelu Yao was extremely remorseful, two days ago, he should have accepted Yelu Puhua's suggestion and directly sent important ministers to the Turks to lobby Argus.
Instead of gathering the kings of the tribes and consulting with them, the opportunity was wasted.
Two days ago, the tribe took the initiative to lobby by sending important ministers, and today, sending important ministers to lobby, the tribe is tantamount to pleading with the Turks and is in a passive position!
"The Great Khan is reasonable, and this king suggests that he forbears for the time being and continues to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty. The extermination of the Turks is a priority, and in the long run, we are also preparing, working hard, suddenly changing the long-term strategy and disrupting the plans of the Horde." When there was silence in the king's tent, King Zuoxian stepped forward, stood in the center of the king's tent, and suggested to Yeluyao.
"King Zuo Xian, this is a bad statement, in the past, we have despised the Tang Dynasty, and we can no longer raise tigers for trouble, currently. If we don't take advantage of the continuous war in the western part of the Tang Dynasty and quickly eradicate the rising Tang Army, if we continue to delay, with the Tang Dynasty, the Turks will continue to grow stronger, and at that time, the tribe may be beaten with chickens and eggs, and nothing will be gained, and it may also be under the front of the Tang Dynasty and the Turkic army, and there will be a disaster of extermination." King Zuo Gu Li directly angrily vetoed King Zuo Xian's proposal for appeasement and compromise.
The Khitan is afraid of the Turks, so why is he afraid of the Tang Dynasty!
Even if the Liwang of the Right Valley lost 100,000 wolf horsemen, the three kings and other small tribal leaders, as well as the Khan's cronies, all controlled the male army.
Leading the army south and fighting to the death, can't you completely eradicate the Tang Dynasty?
"Great Khan, the last general agrees with the suggestion of King Zuogu Li, recently, the Tang Dynasty suddenly cut off trade with the tribe, and the grain and goods flowing into the grassland from the south have decreased sharply, it is obvious that Yang Yue has been secretly on guard and weakened the tribe.
Instead of sitting and waiting to be killed, it is better to strike first, teach Datang a hard lesson, and give Yang Yue a look." Yelu Yao's confidant, Baturu, clenched his fists and spoke out his thoughts aloud.
"King Zuoguli, Baturu, have you ever thought that if you lead a large army to the south, no matter whether you can win or not, the royal court and the tribes that lead the army to fight are basically empty, once you can't hit the Tang army hard in a short period of time, and the Turks take advantage of the weakness, do we have the strength to fight on two fronts? And it's still fighting against the Tang Dynasty and the Turks!"
The Khitan, the Tang Dynasty, and the Turkic tripartite parties contain each other, weaken each other, and they are worried about each other, starting a war with one party, and the other two parties unite, and even some people sneak attack and fall into the ground.
King Zuo Xian did not recommend sending troops south to fight against the Tang Dynasty, because he was worried that the wolf cavalry would go south, and the Turks would suddenly mobilize heavy troops to march westward and break into the Khitan territory and loot it!
Hearing this, the kings will be speechless, and will continue to argue, and they will surely not be able to convince each other.
For a while, everyone's eyes shifted to Yelu Yao!
He is the king of the Khan, who controls the Khitan tribes, and at present, a decision must be made!
Noticing everyone's gaze, Yelu Yao was silent for a while, and said: "King Zuoguli, you send the shrewd people of the tribe as soon as possible, and go to the Turks non-stop to try to lobby the other party, Baturu, you personally mobilize the army to the south, and inform the tribes in the south to cheer up, beware of the Tang army risking deep into the grassland and approaching the royal court."
