Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 179

Chuluo had two sons, the eldest son Osheshe and the second son Yusheshe.After Chu Luo succeeded the Turkic Khan, he gave his two sons important tasks, appointing them as Northwest Set and South Set respectively.Austria Sheshe is responsible for supporting Liu Wuzhou, and Yu Sheshe is responsible for supporting Liang Shidu.

Historically, after Chuluo's death, Princess Yicheng disliked Osheshe for being ugly, and instead of making him Turkic Khan, she turned to support Dubi's succession, that is, Jieli Khan.

This argument is actually untenable, because the status of Turkic women is even lower than that of Han women, and they are basically subordinates of Turkic men.Even Princess Yicheng, who is as expensive as Ketun, can't influence the election of the Turkic Khan.

Therefore, there is only one reason for Jieli's accession to the throne, he is stronger than Oshesheth.

After the death of Shibi Khan, Turks were in chaos for a period of time, because several chiefs were very powerful, and they supported different people.

Turks are just a name for the outside world. In fact, they are a combination of grassland tribes, among which the more powerful tribes are Tiele, Shiwei, Khitan and so on.The people supported by these tribal chiefs are different, and the divided camps are naturally different.

Some people support Chuluo, some people support Hebi, and some people support Shibobi.

With the help of his younger brother Dobi, Chuluo overwhelmed Shibi Khan's son, Shibobi, and took over the entire Turks.

Aosheshe's appearance is not ugly, it can only be said to be very Turkic.Because there are not many good-looking Turks in the whole Turkic. Every time they go south, they covet Han women.

But Han women not only have no peculiar smell, but also have fragrance.Whether it is from the perspective of slavery or reproduction, Han women are always the primary targets of Turkic nobles going south to plunder.

Princess Yicheng was accepted by several Turkic khans, in fact, because these khans were fascinated by her identity and appearance.

Not long ago, Yusheshe, the second son of Chuluo, received news that Liang Shidu failed to go south.

Hearing this news, Ao Sheshe was very happy, because his younger brother's failure meant that he had more opportunities.

In Turkic, there is no saying that the eldest son inherits. Whoever has the biggest fist has more right to speak.If he can help Liu Wuzhou take down Taiyuan this time, his power will be expanded.

Therefore, even though he knew that Liu Wuzhou was a puppet used to consume the Tang army, he was very concerned about it.

Ao Sheshe led the [-] cavalry under the jurisdiction of the headquarters to attack the flank first, that is, the troops entered the Loufan County area, putting pressure on the Tang army's side.And Liu Wuzhou's soldiers and horses went directly south to attack Fenyang, Taiyuan.

For this time going south to fight for the world, Liu Wuzhou was extremely well prepared.The army raised the sword in Fenyang, beheaded Zhang Da, the chariot general of the Tang army, and then broke through Yuci in October, and surrounded Taigu.

The Tang army could not stop his mighty victory.

Following the fall of Taigu, the cities of Qixian and Wenshui fell into the hands of Liu Wuzhou one after another.

Li Yuanji, who was in Jinyang, could only guard the lonely city alone, and at the same time sent troops to send the news back to Chang'an for help.

After this mistake happened, Li Yuanji no longer dared to ignore Taiyuan's defense, and wandered around the city almost every day.

"Is there any news from Chang'an?" Li Yuanji asked Xia Houduan with a sullen face.

"The scouts only left for a day, so Chang'an probably didn't get the news so quickly." Xia Houduan whispered.

He crazily slandered Li Yuanji as a waste in his heart. When Liu Wuzhou went south, he told you to deal with it carefully. Now that Jinyang is surrounded by groups, you know you are afraid. What the hell did you do!
Dou Dan comforted: "Your Highness, don't be afraid. The city of Taiyuan is tall and strong, full of food and grass, and tens of thousands of armored soldiers. It can stand for several months. Even if Liu Wuzhou takes the whole Taiyuan, as long as Chang'an sends troops, he will be defeated!"

"What other soldiers and horses are there in Chang'an!" Li Yuanji gave him a sharp look, "The King of Qin is attacking Dou Jiande, and the King of Chu is stationed at Tongguan. Who else in Chang'an can save me!"

Dou Dan pursed his lips and bowed his head in silence.

What Li Yuanji said was the truth, Liu Wuzhou really seized the opportunity to go south at this time.

At this moment, the scouts came to report.

"Report to the general manager, the Turkic people entered Taiyuan from Loufan County, and they have broken Jiaocheng!"

Li Yuanji's complexion changed suddenly, one Liu Wuzhou made him trapped in Jinyang, and now another Turk came, wouldn't he want to die!
"Explore again!"

"As ordered!"

As the scouts went down, Li Yuanji ordered again, "It's urgent, ask Chang'an for help!"

He ordered Dou Dan almost by roaring.

"Of order." Dou Dan bowed his hands and resigned.

Xia Houduan and Yu Wenxin looked at each other and could see the worry in each other's eyes.Li Yuanji is so flustered, can he really defend Taiyuan?

Taiyuan is an important town. Once it falls, it will not only lead to the fall of the entire north of Bingzhou, but also damage the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.

This place is the place where saints raised their troops and prospered!

Not to mention how Li Yuanji arranged it, let's talk about Liu Wuzhou.

Seeing that Li Yuanji was so incompetent, Liu Wuzhou let go of his hands and feet completely and ordered Song Jingang to go south from Wenshui to attack Xihe County Jiexiu.

On the tenth day of October, Song Jingang and Yuchi Gong divided their troops into two groups, one to attack Jiexiu and the other to attack Lingshi. Three days later, the two cities fell one after the other.

At this time, Ao Sheshe led his army southward from Taiyuan, racing all the way to catch up with Song Jingang.

Liu Wuzhou was overjoyed and ordered Song Jingang, Xunxiang, and Yuchi Gong to cooperate with Austrian archery and attack Linfen via Queshu Valley.

In mid-October, the Turkic cavalry and Liu Wuzhou's army captured Linfen, and the soldiers pointed directly at Jiangzhou!

At this time, most of the entire Bingzhou had fallen into the hands of Liu Wuzhou, and he even personally led troops to besiege Jinyang.

Linfen in the Sui Dynasty was Jinzhou in the Tang Dynasty.

With the fall of Jinzhou, Jiangzhou and Puzhou are in danger.

It was at this time that Li Yuan, who was in Chang'an, learned the news that Liu Wuzhou was going south, and also knew that his fourth son Yuanji was trapped in Jinyang and that Bingzhou was about to be lost.

Alas, he was still happy that the King of Chu drove away Wang Shichong, and the King of Qin defeated Dou Jiande. He didn't expect that the whole Bingzhou was almost gone in a blink of an eye, let alone Jinyang, the land of Longxing.

political affairs hall.

"Your Majesty, the veteran thinks that we should immediately send troops to support Bingzhou to prevent Liu Wuzhou from continuing to attack Jiangzhou. Otherwise, if Jiangzhou falls, Puzhou will surely fall, and then Datang will lose Taiyuan!" Dou Kang clasped his fists and said.

In fact, since the loss of Jinzhou, the entire Bingzhou has never been able to stop Liu Wuzhou.If Puzhou falls again, the Tang Dynasty's gate to Bingzhou will be opened, and then Liu Wuzhou can copy Li Yuan's route to enter Guanzhong.

Therefore, the bottom line is that Puzhou must not be lost.

Li Yuan nodded, "You are right, we need to send troops to rescue."

It is an undisputed decision to rescue and merge the state, and no one can say 'abandon and merge the state' at this time.

But here comes the question, who should be sent to rescue Bingzhou?
Right now, King Qin is besieging and suppressing Dou Jiande, far away in Hebei.The king of Chu guarded Tongguan to guard against Wang Shichong.There are not many generals in the imperial court who can gain Li Yuan's trust.

This fact is known to both the Liuxiang of Zhengshitang and the prince.

Therefore, Li Jiancheng immediately handed over his hand, "Father, my son is willing to lead the army to support Bingzhou! Father, please agree."

He thought very clearly, now that the second and fifth younger brothers are not here, and several generals of the clan are outside, plus the premise that the emperor only believes in the clan, at this time he asks for orders to go out, and the emperor will definitely agree to him.

"My minister seconded the proposal." Liu Wenjing immediately agreed.

Dou Wei and Dou Kang looked at each other, and did not vote rashly.

Chen Shuda objected, "Your Majesty, the crown prince is the heir apparent, so how can he easily risk himself?"

Li Jiancheng said firmly: "Father, my son is the heir apparent of the Tang Dynasty, and he should shed his blood for the Tang Dynasty. Now that the second, fourth, and fifth brothers are all fighting outside, how can the son sit alone in Chang'an?" , please allow the emperor to allow the sons and ministers to rush to help Bingzhou and rescue the king of Qi."

Li Yuan was in a dilemma for a while, and he didn't vote for a while.

At this time, Dou Wei followed closely and said: "Your Majesty, what Chen Xiang said is reasonable. The crown prince is the heir apparent of the country, and he must not be involved in any danger. I suggest that your majesty choose another virtuous person to support Bingzhou."

"My minister seconded the proposal." Dou Kang and Xiao Yu spoke one after another.

Li Jiancheng was so angry that he couldn't refute.These guys kept their mouths shut for his own good, but they were actually obstructing him from leading the army.
