Chapter 587: Annihilation of the Turks
"What a Su Dingfang!" Li Jing rode on his horse, looked at the Turkic camp that had been drowned in a firelight, and couldn't help but sigh.
"The Turkic camp has been broken, and the Turks will surely flee in all directions, and if they are allowed to flee, they will still be a scourge in the future." Li Jing said: "The whole army is pursuing!" ”
The army immediately led the horses away, and the Turks fled in all directions, some were captured, some resisted and were killed, and others fled in a hurry.
"Carefully search for Jieli's whereabouts!" Li Jing ordered: "There are only two hundred elite horsemen in Dingfang, and there will be no time to take care of Jieli's movements when rushing to kill. ”
"No, you don't." Xia Hongsheng laughed: "The army just needs to capture the Turks, the more prisoners the better, and they will be useful in the future." ”
"You kid is not honest. The old man looked at your boy mysteriously during this period of time, and said, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd? Li Jing glanced at Xia Hongsheng: "What kind of bureau have you laid out?" ”
Xia Hongsheng laughed: "This can be attributed to our Datang spies. Everyone has heard of this person, and among the Han people who know the situation of the Turks, there are really many people who scold him, and he has endured humiliation for many years. ”
When Li Jing heard this, he showed a look of understanding: "What the virtuous nephew said was Zhao Deyan?" I remember hearing about it back then, during the Wude period, it seemed that his people wanted to enter the Tiance Mansion and failed, so he was angry and ashamed to go north to the Turks, and was reused by Jieli Khan and became the national teacher of the Turks. ”
Xia Hongsheng was curious: "Why isn't Uncle surprised?" ”
Li Jing shook his head with a smile, and asked again: "In this way, it seems that his defection to the Turks was arranged. ”
"Not exactly." Xia Hongsheng explained: "The little nephew didn't know what happened back then. However, His Majesty mentioned that this person had never been in contact with him since he arrived in Turks, thinking that he had sincerely taken refuge in Jieli, and said that he had seen the wrong person. The little nephew kept an eye on him and let the spies lurking in the Turks find him. Later, he secretly trained him to become one of our spies. Now, I'm afraid that Jieli has been controlled. ”
"In that case, let's go and have a look!" Li Tao said.
Everyone beat their horses and went straight to the Turkic camp, and the two hundred elite horsemen led by Su Dingfang were collecting the prisoners at this moment. Su Dingfang led the two hundred elite horsemen until the front of the Turkic camp before they were seen by the sentry guards in the Turkic camp, and before they could send a signal, they were already shot through the throat by Su Dingfang's bow and arrow.
Two hundred elite horsemen rushed directly into the Turkic camp. Rushing inside, by the time the army arrived, the Turkic camp had already been broken by Su Dingfang.
"General!" As soon as Xia Hongsheng and the others arrived there, they heard a shout, and when they turned their heads, they saw that it was Zhao Deyan.
"Meet the two governors and meet the generals!" Zhao Deyan saluted: "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life, and I didn't let Jieli take advantage of the chaos to escape, but." His son Dieros took the opportunity to escape, and asked the chief administrator to forgive him! ”
Xia Hongsheng was thinking that this was the credit for robbing who captured Jieli alive in history, so he heard Li Jing brush his beard and smile: "In the second year of martial arts, we have met." It has been 11 years now, and he has endured humiliation and burden, stirring up the storm and clouds on the steppe, causing the Turks to be centrifuged up and down, and the tribes to fight. Let the Turks be consumed in internal strife, and the Tang Dynasty can pacify the Turks in one fell swoop. Erju is a great contribution. The old man wrote a book in the military newspaper and played it in His Majesty. ”
Zhao Deyan was suddenly excited, and knelt on the ground on one knee: "Chief Xie!" ”
The brainwashing of the spy battalion was quite thorough, and the one in history left only "the beginning, the Turkic nature is pure, and the government decree is strategic." Jieli Khan got the Chinese Zhao Deyan. Commission. Zhao Deyan, who specializes in his prestige, changes the old customs, and harsh government decrees, and the people are displeased", has now become a professional "underground worker" in the Turkic heart in the Tang Dynasty.
The torches illuminate the surroundings. Li Jing took a step forward and looked down at Jieli. Jieli looked frightened and looked at Li Jing in a panic.
"At the beginning of the former Sui Dynasty, the Turks were vassals of the Sui Dynasty, and at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang lost his morality, resulting in great chaos in the world. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the two countries were originally friends, when the Turkic Emperor died in Changle Gate, the Emperor Taishang mourned in Changle Gate, abolished the dynasty for three days, and the edict of hundreds of officials hanged its envoys in the hall. After the beginning was over, you took over the position of Khan, and repeatedly cooperated with Tiele, Xue Yantuo and other troops to attack the northern border cities. His Majesty ascended to the great treasure for the first time, and the Turks were even more treacherous and took the opportunity to attack Weishui. Your Majesty has made great efforts to govern the country, and the Tang Dynasty has prospered, and you have connived at the Turks to repeatedly commit border plunder, and Your Majesty has not been blamed for the righteousness of the alliance. He was invited by the pro-Bener Turks, but lost his contribution and left empty-handed, and His Majesty did not blame him, but only ordered Er to wait for the bridal gift and then go to Chang'an. Who can receive such a heavenly favor but the Turks? I'm really afraid that you won't succeed? Only I am a Tang people, and I am a prosthetic ear! However, the Turks have never repented, and they actually invaded Hexi, which is unbearable! Today, Er was captured by the Tang Dynasty, and the Turks were destroyed, all because of Er and others who reaped their own fruits, dug their own graves, and complained to others. Li Jing stared at Jieli and said coldly.
Then he just waved his hand and said lightly: "Take him down, detain him, and he will return to the court every day and dedicate himself to Your Majesty!" Gentlemen, Datang Wansheng! ”
If you don't shout slogans at this time, when will you wait?
Xia Hongsheng then raised his arms and said in a loud voice: "Datang Wansheng!" Your Majesty wins! ”
"Datang Wansheng! Your Majesty wins! ”
The sound is like thunder, and the sound is like a tide. Wave after wave lingered in the Turkic camp, making Jieli tremble, and the faces of the Turkic captives turned pale.
Xia Hongsheng lowered his arm and listened to the shouts around him like a thunderbolt. From the Turkic soldiers who invaded Hexi in November of the third year of Zhenguan to February of the fourth year of Zhenguan, the Turks, who were once so powerful that the Tang Dynasty was also feared and other small countries around them, actually became the dust in history in just a few months.
Xia Hongsheng couldn't help but think of that sentence again: When you have done all the preparations, in fact, the moment you cross the line is not so thrilling.
This war is really not as thrilling as Xia Hongsheng thought before he set off.
The reason is that this time Datang has an absolute advantage and absolute strength in front of the Turks, which is enough for Datang to ignore any strategies and conspiracies of the Turks and only need to crush all the way.
And this absolute superiority and absolute strength, from the emperor's principles and policies for governing the country and the army, to the iron nails made of the new steelmaking method to nail the horseshoe, are all accumulated bit by bit.
The armies of Li Jing and Li Tao were stationed in Yinshan and pursued the Turkic fleeing generals and soldiers in all directions.
A few days passed, and the pursuit finally ended. In this battle, more than 10,000 Turks were annihilated, and more than 100,000 men and women were captured.
Jieli's son, Dieluoshi, took advantage of the chaos to escape from the camp in a hurry, and under the escort of several personal guards, he intended to flee from the clouds to the west, and defected to Tuyuhun or Gaochang. Halfway, he ran head-on into Li Daozong's Datong army and was easily captured by Tang general Zhang Baoxiang.
At this point, the (Eastern) (Turkic) (Turkic) was destroyed, and the army returned to the dynasty. (To be continued.) )
