Chapter 339: The Northern Expedition and the Bloodthirsty Fangs
At the end of July, Chang'an already had a hint of coolness, but an urgent report of 800 miles of red feathers completely detonated the depressed Chang'an in an instant: 5,000 Turkic elite cavalry attacked Shuozhou, killed people, and ambushed thousands of corpses!
"Jieli child, deceive people too much." "The armrests of the dragon chair in the Taiji Hall were slapped by Li Er's 'clang', and it looked like the old man was about to jump up from the chair in anger.
Li Chengqian squatted in his position, looking sideways at an old man in anger from time to time, and wanted to remind Lao Li at this time: The acting was a little too much.
The old killers on the side of the generals glanced at each other, and Li Jing consciously walked out of the squad and made a statement of righteous indignation: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to raise 100,000 elite soldiers to destroy this dynasty." ”
Li Er snorted coldly and turned his gaze to the side of the civil official: "I want to raise the king to crusade against the Turks, what do you think?" ”
How is it? What else? Are we really stupid? Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Kong Yingda, Wang Qi and other ministers looked at each other, feeling indescribably greasy in their hearts, feeling that Li Er's play was too fake.
Thinking that Shuozhou is only adjacent to Yunzhou, and Yunzhou has tens of thousands of troops stationed in Youwuhouwei, how could the Turks do that plundering under the prying eyes of tens of thousands of troops? Don't they want to live anymore?
And who doesn't know that the Turks hit the grass valley and robbed people with things, and it was completely impossible to talk about thousands of corpses. What's more, now that Jieli has gathered his army and plans to teach Tuli the little khan a lesson, how can there be any elite soldiers who come to Shuozhou to fight the grass valley?
But think about it, no one can say anything in this situation now, they are all thousand-year-old foxes, although they don't know how this trick changed, but they know that no one can afford the crime of losing power and humiliating the country.
So after thinking about it, the old guys now seem to have no better choice than to stand up and support Li Er's campaign against injustice. As a result, Comrade Li Er spent half a day enlisting the support of the Manchu civil and military forces.
Li Jing was appointed as the head of the Dingxiang Road march, Wei Chigong and Su Dingfang were appointed as deputy generals, and the right Wuhou Wei went out of Yunzhou and Mayi, marched into the Turks, and pursued the Turkic bandits.
Li Ji, the governor of the prefecture, was appointed as the head of the Tongmo Road march, Zhang Gongjin and Gao Yongsheng were appointed as deputy generals, and the right Rao Wei was under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Route Army, which went out of Ulzhou and marched into the Turks.
Chai Shao was appointed as the head of the Jinhe Road March, Qin Qiong was appointed as the deputy general, and he was under the jurisdiction of Zuo Wuwei, the Western Route Army, out of Shengzhou, and the Turks.
Li Daozong was appointed as the head of the march of the Great Channel, Zhang Baoxiang was appointed as the deputy general, under the jurisdiction of Zuo Raowei, out of Lingzhou, to intercept the Turkic escape to the west.
Wei Xiaojie was appointed as the head of the march of Heng'an Road, and Cheng Yanjin was appointed as the deputy general, with the right military guard, out of Pingzhou, and intercepted the Turkic eastward escape.
Xue Wanche was appointed as the head of the Changwudao march, Duan Zhixuan was appointed as the deputy general, with jurisdiction over the right guard, out of Yingzhou, through the Khitan, intercepting the Turkic northward escape, and by the way to monitor the little Turkic Khan.
In addition, Li Daliang was appointed to garrison Liangzhou to prevent the Turks in the northwest and west; Liu Hongji was stationed in Yizhou to prevent Goguryeo in the northeast; Hou Junji was stationed in Chang'an.
So far, the main force of the Tang Army and more than ten famous generals have poured out.
And just as the generals hurried to the frontier, the 'fangs' had already penetrated into the grassland for an unknown number of miles, and everyone seemed to have been soaked in blood, and the smell of blood was scattered.
"Old Xue, find a place to rest, the brothers are tired." Yu Chi Baolin glanced around for the third time, turned his head and said to Xue Rengui.
"Walk further, didn't the herdsmen just say that there is a river in front of them, which just happened to let the brothers wash away the blood stains on their bodies." Xue Rengui pointed forward with the horsewhip in his hand and said lightly.
"Do you really believe it? What if he lied to us? Yu Chi Baolin pursed his lips and muttered.
"If you cheat, you cheat, what do you want to do if everyone is killed by you? Is it to be dragged out of the underworld and killed again? Xue Rengui snorted and said nonchalantly.
It has been seven days since he came out of Shuozhou, and he slaughtered no less than 30 Turkic herdsmen's settlements along the way, and all living creatures that were more than a foot high were all slaughtered.
This is not because they are cruel and cold-blooded, but they have seen too much of the tragic experiences of those Han women who were taken captive to the grassland, and they can't help the anger in their hearts.
The first Turkic tribe, the 'Fangs', killed all the Turkic warriors, and the old and weak women and children were generously spared, and they were well-equipped and did not care about the threat to them from those women and children.
But after a fire chief walked into a certain tent, it changed, and the whole team became bloodthirsty and crazy, slaughtering not only the entire small tribe, but even everything in the tribe that could breathe.
There was only one Han woman in the tent, a Han woman who had her limbs cut off, one eye gouged out, her nose cut off, and she was pregnant.
The woman told Xue Rengui that she just wanted to die as soon as possible, hoping that the warriors of Datang could be fulfilled, and the woman didn't say a word about the rest.
But Lao Xue saw hatred and disdain from this woman's only one eye, which was hatred and contempt for the Han family, blaming them for not fulfilling their responsibilities and obligations.
They ate the grain grown by the common people and wore the clothes provided by the common people, but they let their people suffer from the abuse of the barbarians.
The woman died, and it was Xue Rengui's hand in front of five thousand 'fangs'.
The five thousand 'fangs' just stood silently, without anyone making a sound.
But the sudden wind proved that the immature 'fangs' began to metamorphose in the woman's splashed blood, and from that moment on, they began to become silent, began to become bloodthirsty.
Half a year later, they earned themselves a new name in the steppe - 'Bloodthirsty Fangs'.
For in their hands, no alien can ever live, even if he is dead, and he must be slashed again in the neck, and if the neck is broken, then in the head again.
The whole team, at all times, carried a bloody smell on their bodies, and even soaking them in water for a week could not wash away the smell.
The river that the herdsman said had finally arrived, and Xue Rengui's thoughts were also pulled back from seven days ago, he looked back behind him, and ordered in a deep voice: "The third and fourth squads of the fifth squadron are on alert, and the rest of the people are resting." ”
"Whoa!" After a simple but powerful answer, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the two hundred-man teams scattered in all directions, until the sound of horses' hooves faded away, and the 'fangs' on their horses turned over and dismounted one by one.
"Old Xue, how about camping here tonight?" Yu Chi Baolin's grinning voice came, and then a sheepskin bag was thrown in front of Xue Rengui's eyes.
