Chapter 631: The Restless Western Turks

For Yang Fan, Fan Lihua didn't pay too much attention to this person, because every hero has arrogance, Fan Lihua is a generation of heroines, and has arrogant capital, how could she attach so much importance to a person who has never even met in person, what's the great thing about defeating the big cannibal, what is it to hit more with less, she can do this, and she can do better, everything is when the two sides meet, fight, and after seeing the real skills, she can naturally find out how many catties and taels the other party has.

After some preparation, the army pulled out, arrived at the Xinyuan City, it was already sinking in the West Mountain, seeing so many troops coming to the city, the soldiers at the head of the Xinyuan City were nervous to death, they had heard before, Ge Biluo was defeated, and worse, Yang Dingguo was also defeated and captured, this bad news made the only remaining five thousand defenders in the city very flustered, the Lord was captured, and there were only five thousand soldiers and horses in the city, what should I do?

If they could know what to do, they would be generals, but they were not generals, so when they saw the Tang army approaching the city, they had no other way but to wait for the battle and prepare to fight to the death.

Originally, the 5,000 defenders were ready to die in the city, however, Yang Dingguo suddenly came out surrounded by several personal guards, and came to the city gate. Some even burst into tears.

Yang Dingguo stood in front of the city gate, looked up at the excited subordinates at the head of the city, and said with guilt on his face: "Brothers, I have disappointed you, I will ...... I've already surrendered to Datang. ”

The originally excited shouting stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at Yang Dingguo in a daze as if they were choked, and then looked at each other, and then someone shouted in disbelief: "How is it possible!" General, how can you be treasonous! ”

"That's right! We don't believe it! ”

"We don't believe it!"

……

In their minds, Yang Dingguo is a loyal and good general who has dedicated his life to the Western Turks, how can he still commit treason when he is old, this makes no sense at all.

Yang Dingguo slowly raised his hand, and the noisy Western Turkic soldiers at the head of the city quieted down one after another, only to hear Yang Dingguo say loudly: "Brothers, we are defeated, the 125,000 army, defeated by the hands of the Tang army, you see, how many of the 60,000 troops of the Tang army, and 58,500 people, they only lost 1,500 people, and then defeated our 120,000 army." ”

Everyone in the city was silent, what kind of record data is this, they have probably never heard of it in their lives, it is simply a fantasy, but now the facts are in front of them, making them speechless.

Yang Dingguo said slowly: "The leader of the Tang Army is your former coach general, Dili Laerna, who is now General Fan Lihua, you are no stranger to her." ”

At this time, Fan Lihua immediately took a few steps forward and said in a loud voice: "Brothers in the city, surrender the city, everyone is a fellow, I don't want to hurt you!" ”

Yang Dingguo also said: "Brothers, surrender the city, I know you are not afraid of death, but you think about it, you still have parents, wives and children, they are all waiting for you to go back alive." ”

One is the former instructor, the other is his own top boss, and the two of them came out together to persuade them to surrender, which made a group of unassertive big-headed soldiers what to do, many people have been crying in the city, how helpless and aggrieved they are, the decision-makers are incompetent, and the last to suffer is always the soldiers and people at the bottom.

The persuasion was carried out for less than half an hour, twilight fell, countless torches were lit up under the city, at a glance, like a sea of torches, the scene was very shocking, the soldiers at the head of the city finally accepted the reality, opened the city gate to surrender, Fan Lihua led the army and prisoners of war into the city.

After entering the city, the army rested, and early the next morning, Fan Lihua began to be busy, pacifying the people in the city, recruiting the officials in the city, and then appointing Yang Dingguo as the city guard of Xinyuan, leading 10,000 soldiers to defend Xinyuan, and the other people's blades were all collected by Fan Lihua, and Luo Kun and Groni were responsible for leading the troops to guard all the prisoners, when explaining this task, Fan Lihua said to the two of them: "Tomorrow I will lead the troops to Sanmi Mountain, these prisoners will be handed over to you, I don't care if Ge Biluo is dead or alive, but the other soldiers please don't move, Otherwise, I'm not kind to you! ”

"Yes!" The two of them received the order together, and Groni said happily, "Don't worry, the boss, we promise that the others will not touch a single hair, as for Grylo, hehehe......"

Both of them showed a gloomy smile, not revenge at the moment, when will they retribution, the meaning of this smile is very simple, to die, do you still repay grievances with virtue?

For the smile of the two of them, Fan Lihua didn't see it, turned around and left, returned to the tooth tent and began to write a war report, narrating all the big and small wars in recent days, and at the same time asking for credit for Yang Dingguo, Luo Kun and Grooni and others, especially Yang Dingguo, Yang Dingguo's credit is particularly important, asking for credit for him can exempt Yang Dingguo's 20,000 troops from punishment, that is to say, these 20,000 troops will not become prisoners of war, as for other prisoners of war, Fan Lihua said that she can't help, it would be good to keep them alive, and they have no merit, She can't lie about it.

After the battle report was written, Fan Lihua sent a fast horse to Chang'an.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Fan Lihua led the army to set off and went straight to the Sanmi Mountain Royal Court to kill, and she felt that the head of Ashina Helu was beckoning to her.

On the second day after Fan Lihua led the troops out of Xinyuan City, in the royal court of Sanmi Mountain, Ashina Helu was discussing major matters with his ministers in the palace, and what major matters could they discuss at this moment, of course, it was a strategy to retreat from the enemy.

Just yesterday, there was already a fast horse to send a war report, Ge Biluo's and Yang Dingguo were also defeated, both were captured by the Tang army, 120,000 troops, the whole army was annihilated, what is even more hateful is that Yang Dingguo treasoned to the Tang Dynasty and surrendered the defenders in Xinyuan City, the Tang army took Xinyuan without a single soldier, and the Tang army losses that came back made Ashina Helu almost vomit blood, and the battle losses were less than 2,000.

This time, Ashina Helu really lied, he glanced at the ministers, his eyebrows tightened, and said: "The Tang army must be on the way to the royal court now, from Xinyuan to Sanmi Mountain, according to their marching speed, it will arrive in seven days, and there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses in the city at the moment, you say, what should I do?" ”

The ministers all hung their heads and remained silent, and Ashina Helu became more and more anxious, slapped his seat angrily, glared and shouted: "Speak! Speak! Are they all dumb! ”

Chen Yonghe, the prime minister of the Western Turks, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Khan, the minister thinks that the Tang army is menacing and cannot be blocked, since there are still seven days left, it is better to take the opportunity to move the royal court to the west. ”

Although Chen Yonghe is a Han Chinese, he is different from Yang Dingguo and Fan Hong, first of all, Chen Yonghe is a civil official, not in charge of military power, which is quite reassuring to the successive khans, and secondly, Chen Yonghe's family has been married to the Western Turkic royal family for generations, and Chen Yonghe's sister is married to Ashina Helu, so Chen Yonghe is Ashina Helu's brother-in-law, and he is more trusted by Ashina Helu.

The Turkic people appeared very early, in the Han Dynasty, there were Turks, which have continued to this day, they have been deeply influenced by the Han Dynasty, because the Han Dynasty was too strong, so a large part of the Turkic official system imitated the Han Dynasty, and the Western Turks were naturally affected, and now the Western Turks were established as the Western Turkic Khanate, and Ashina Helu also imitated the Han emperor and called himself I; Look at the Yuan Dynasty again, the Yuan Dynasty extended its claws to Europe, why did it like the land of China, and threw it when other places attacked it, why, because we have a civilization admired by all foreign countries on the land of China, even the group of grassland barbarians, the whip outside the Guanwai, after taking the Han people's country, all learned the culture and etiquette of the Han people, it can be seen that the influence of Chinese culture on the world is too deep, among the four ancient civilizations, China's civilization may not be the most mysterious, but it is definitely the grandest, the most attractive, the most influential, And only the most beautiful.

When Chen Yonghe made such a suggestion, several ministers immediately agreed, but suddenly a military general snorted coldly and asked, "Move west?" So what if Dililarna led her troops to continue the pursuit to the west? ”

Chen Yonghe said: "We still have 150,000 troops in the west, and after the Khan moves the royal court to the west, he will reorganize the army and stick to the new royal court, and it will be useless to forgive the Tang army to increase the strength of another 100,000 troops." ”

"Ridiculous!" Another military general heard the words and said loudly, "The 150,000 troops are guarding the western border, fighting against more than a dozen states, and there is also a powerful Arab, if the royal court moves westward, it is tantamount to sending sheep into the tiger's mouth. ”

When Chen Yonghe heard this, he immediately shouted angrily: "This is not good, that is not good, if you have a kind, you will go and defeat the Tang Army now!" ”

"I thought! Where are the soldiers! ”

"Enough!" Ashina Helu, who was already extremely irritable, saw that the two of them were arguing in the palace, and immediately glared and shouted, and the two of them were suddenly so frightened that they didn't dare to speak, the Western Turkic Khanate is a country with centralized monarchy, and the Khan's power is very great, and it really does the degree of life and death with one word, Fan Hong is an example, so the ministers of the Western Turks are not as active as the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty, like Wei Zheng, if they are in the Western Turks, let alone three days, they can't live for a day, and the first day of the court is estimated to be chopped up, Not all emperors have the same mind and bearing as Li Shimin.

Ashina Helu just wanted to reprimand the ministers, but suddenly a guard outside the hall rushed to the door of the hall and reported loudly: "Report to the Khan!" Zhenyuan's general Yang Fan has returned with an army of 20,000 and has arrived outside the city! Request to enter the city! ”

"Yang Fan!" Ashina Helu glared and exclaimed when he heard this, and the ministers also exclaimed.

Ashina Helu suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Yang Dingguo is treasonous, his nephew should also be punished, Yang Fan is guilty of death!" ”
