Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 178 Chu Luo's Abacus

In all fairness, Duo Bi is very supportive of Chu Luo's strategy of going south to the Central Plains.But he is very contemptuous of the strategy of dealing with Luo Dong with a hammer and with a stick.

Although he has never read a book, he is not stupid. He knows what kind of disaster a unified empire in the south will bring to Turks.

Refer to the Sui Dynasty decades ago.

In addition, the warm climate and vast land in the south are the best grazing land for Turkic herdsmen.

When the big brother Sibi Khan was in power, he once put forward an idea.If the Central Plains can be conquered in the future, then the Han people will be used to cultivate the land, and the Turkic people will be used to graze, so that the two major ethnic groups are perfectly compatible.

In this regard, Agbi deeply agrees.

It's a pity that Shibi Khan died, and the second brother Chu Luo Khan was a sand sculpture in the eyes of Du Bi.

Because Chu Luo's strategy against the Central Plains is very stupid.

In Agbi's view, either directly support a force, or don't support a force.As it is now, to support the three forces of Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou, and Dou Jiande at once, no matter how big the Turkic family is, it is not enough to disperse.

In addition, he also heard that Chu Luo was cooperating with Luoyang Wang Shichong.

From Ji Bi's point of view, Chu Luo was just messing around.

This time he was sent by Chu Luo to help Dou Jiande, but he didn't bring any elite soldiers to help him at all, only [-] soldiers and horses.Because in Duo Bi's view, Dou Jiande is not someone who can accomplish things.

As he expected, although Dou Jiande won a lot of victories at the beginning, when Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty arrived with his army, all the advantages he had gained were thrown out.Now they are being forced to return to Hebei, which is completely useless.

But it doesn't matter, Duo Bi didn't take supporting Dou Jiande seriously, so naturally he wouldn't feel sad for Dou Jiande's failure.

He condoned the Turkic cavalry to plunder the Han people, but it was done on purpose, in order to continue to consume Hebei's power and prepare for the future Turkic southward movement.

Originally he made money, but he didn't know he didn't make money until he was betrayed by Dou Jiande.

Not long ago, Dou Jiande asked his generals Fan Yuan and Dong Kangmai to lead an army to attack Li Shimin and asked him to attack on the flank.

He agreed without thinking too much, but after the war broke out, Dou Jiande himself led a large army to escape, and Fan Yuan and Dong Kangmai also retreated successively.

By the time he reacted, Tang Jun had already targeted the only remaining Turkic people.

As a result, it finally evolved into an aggressive man facing Tang Jun alone.

With such a huge disparity in military strength, how can aggressiveness win.

After several days of hard fighting, the Turkic cavalry suffered heavy losses and were forced to retreat.

But Tang Jun pursued closely, and the two sides fought and chased all the way, which made Duobi suffer a big loss.

In desperation, Duobi could only run away with all his strength, not planning to fight back.

In fact, Li Shimin didn't intend to keep chasing and killing the Turks.Because his infantry could not keep up with the speed of the cavalry, nor could the food and supplies.So after a day or two of hunting, he resolutely gave up.

Having suffered such a big loss, Duobi naturally does not intend to stay in the Central Plains, but he vowed to teach Dou Jiande a lesson in the future.

After driving away the Turkic people, Li Shimin focused his attention on Dou Jiande.He wants to take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out Dou Jiande in one fell swoop!

Not to mention, he ran wildly for dozens of days, and finally returned to the grassland at the end of September, and met his second brother, Chuluo Khan.

"Dou Jiande betrayed me and caused heavy losses to the Turkic warriors. This is the puppet you support!" Tough said angrily.

He can completely accept failure, but he can't accept being betrayed by a Han Chinese, especially when this person was begging for mercy like a dog before.

Chuluo is tall and burly, with a rough and unrestrained appearance.

He comforted: "Hey, my brother, calm down. In the future, I will personally screw off Dou Jiande's head and make amends to you. But now, it's not the time to pursue him."

"What do you mean?"

"I have already decided to fully support Liu Wuzhou in taking Taiyuan and severely injuring Li Tang. According to the Han people, Taiyuan is Li Yuan's place of dragon prosperity. Taking Taiyuan can shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty's rule."

Aggressively snorting, "I don't agree."

"why?"

"These Han people have evil intentions and have no intention of submitting at all. Liu Wuzhou is the second Li Yuan. If we have the strength, why should we use these puppets. Besides, I heard that Yang You is in Ke Dun's hands. If so, why not establish Yang You As the king of Sui, we can deal with the Tang Dynasty justifiably."

Although the Turkic people don't care about bullshit, they will not refuse to sell dog meat.

What if it works.

Chu Luo laughed and hugged his younger brother Dou Bi warmly.

"Gu Dulu, explain to him."

"Yes, Khan." Gu Dulu explained: "Khan has long planned to make Yang You the king of the Sui Dynasty, but we want to use Liu Wuzhou to deal with the Tang Dynasty. If Liu Wuzhou can conquer Taiyuan, we will continue to help him attack the Tang Dynasty .If Liu Wuzhou is defeated in the end, then we will control him, recruit his subordinates, make Yang You King of Sui, and go south again."

"No matter what, we have no losses, and we can use Liu Wuzhou's power to consume the Tang Dynasty's army. In the words of the Han people, why not do it."

Hearing this, Duo Bi was silent for a while, and asked, "How sure are you?"

Chu Luo said: "Ten percent."

[-]%?

Duobi thought to himself, last time you supported Liang Shidu and Dou Jiande, you also said [-]%.

But the result?

"Whatever you want."

Duobi didn't want to continue getting involved in this matter, so he turned around and left the big tent.

Chu Luo looked away from his younger brother, looking a little unhappy.He Bi is the second most powerful faction in Turkic affairs after him. Without his full support, Khan may not be his turn to take the position.

The main goal now, though, is heading south.As long as the Turks get a taste of plundering the wealth of the Han people, his position will become more and more stable.If he can occupy Taiyuan, his prestige will be unprecedentedly improved.

It's okay to let go of the aggressive things for now.

Chu Luo said: "Dou Jiande was driven back to Hebei by Li Shimin. We must not just sit back and watch Dou Jiande be wiped out. This is not conducive to our going south. Inform Liu Wuzhou and let him do it as soon as possible. I want him to take Taiyuan in a short time!"

He just wanted to use Liu Wuzhou to contain Li Tang's energy, so that the Tang Dynasty could not solve Dou Jiande smoothly.

"I obey, great Khan." Gu Dulu bowed slightly.

Li Shimin, who was attacking Dou Jiande, was naturally unaware of the plans of the Turks.Without the help of the Turkic cavalry, facing the powerful Tang army, Dou Jiande was almost defeated in a row.

Tang army camp.

"Report, Dou Jun has returned to Leshou, and the bandits from all over the country are gathering in Leshou." The scout came to report.

Li Shimin waved his hand and retreated from the scouts, saying: "Dou Jiande is going to fight this king to the death."

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Your Highness, this subordinate thinks that at this time, His Highness will be more stable. Dou Jiande's move shows that he is at the end of his rope. As long as we continue to consume his food and grass, it will be easy to take down Dou Jiande."

"You're right." Li Shimin smiled confidently.

Now is the critical time, Li Shimin will not give Dou Jiande any chance to comeback.As long as we continue to insist on consuming Dou Jiande's food and grass and squeezing the morale of Dou's army, Dou's army will become broken bricks and tiles sooner or later.In this way, he can be eaten steadily.
