Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 480 The Turks start a war in the Xi tribe

A few days later, Li Zhiyun got the news from Honglu Temple, and Bazhuo didn't mention the purchase of briquettes again.

In this regard, Li Zhiyun did not regret much.

The Leading Party can be found anywhere, and if they don’t sell them, don’t the small tribes on the border still sell slaves?
Later, after finding a time, Li Zhiyun received Ba Zhuo.

In the main hall, Ba Zhuo stepped forward slowly and bowed slightly to Prince Li Zhiyun.The translator translated a gentle greeting to Li Zhiyun, and the two sides got to the point.

Ba Zhuo said: "My father asked me to tell the prince that as long as the Tang Dynasty is willing to send troops to attack Xieli, Xue Yantuo is willing to cooperate with the Tang Dynasty. After the matter is completed, he will always submit to the Tang Dynasty and pay tribute every year."

Li Zhiyun forgot about the words of forever surrendering.

This is an out-and-out bullshit!

In history, many small tribal countries surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, but they were all based on the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

And once Datang weakens, these alien races will definitely turn around and bite Datang.

There are too many examples of this in history.

Such as Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Turks, Khitan, Jurchen and so on.

In Li Zhiyun's view, only the dead will submit forever, and the living will only submit, not surrender.

"How many soldiers and horses do you have?"

Bazhuo replied, "Ten thousand warriors!"

"Heh." Li Zhiyun chuckled and closed his eyes slightly.

Ba Zhuo looked at the young man in puzzlement, he felt that the other party was younger than himself, but why did the other party look like an old fox instead of a young man?
Next, Li Zhiyun did not speak, and the ministers in the hall bombarded Bazhuo in turn.They asked how many troops Xue Yantuo could send, why Xue Yantuo betrayed Xieli, and others asked how many Turkic tribes Xue Yantuo could contact.

One question after another almost took Xue Yantuo's underpants clean.

Half an hour later, Li Zhiyun ended the conversation and asked Bazhuo to return to Honglu Temple to wait for news.

After Ba Zhuo left, Li Zhiyun said: "His words are meaningless, which shows that Xue Yantuo has no sincerity, and Yi Nan just wants to use me to court. But he can send Ba Zhuo here, which shows that the situation in the grassland is indeed not very good."

This sentence is not contradictory.

According to Li Zhiyun's guess, Yinan wanted the Tang Dynasty to send troops, but he didn't want to promise anything to the Tang Dynasty. Coupled with Jieli's persecution, he chose to send his eldest son Ba Zhuo to the Tang Dynasty.

On the surface, Xue Yantuo seems to be very sincere, but in fact he has no sincerity at all.

In other words, Yi Nan wanted to use his words to lure Datang to attack Jieli.

is it possible?

impossible.

Chen Shuda asked: "Your Highness, what should we do with Bazhuo?"

"Let's release Honglu Temple first, and then release him back to the grassland when the time comes." Li Zhiyun grinned at the corner of his mouth when he said this, as if thinking of something happy.

Yang Gongren said thoughtfully: "Your Highness, the situation in the grassland is critical, and the Yinan has two minds. It must be the same for other tribes. Maybe we can send people to lobby again."

"Yes." Li Zhiyun agreed.

Pei Ju said: "According to the news disclosed by Bazhuo, Jieli is going to solve Shibobi in a short time, so now, there is probably a war in Youzhou."

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun nodded, and lightly placed a hand on a document.

It was sent by Duan Zhixuan, governor of Youzhou, about Shibobi.

After winter, Jieli led the tribe to move southward, looking for a place with a suitable temperature to avoid the wind and snow.Normally they are on the side of Yinshan Mountain, but this year, Jieli went straight to Yanshan Mountain with his army, uncharacteristically.

Any fool knows what Xieli wants to do.

"It's okay, there are Duan Zhixuan and Xie Shufang in the land of Youyan."

Youzhou and Xiguan.

Xiguan, later known as Gubeikou.

Going out from this pass is Liaodong, where the Xi people live together.

On this day, Duan Zhixuan and Xue Wanshu came to the key point to inspect.

"Captain, according to reports from scouts, many Turkic people have been found infiltrating Xidi in the past few days." Wan Xuandao said worriedly.

He was young, although he fought with Duan Zhixuan and learned a lot, he was inevitably not stable enough.

Duan Zhixuan reassured: "Don't worry, there are [-] troops stationed in Youzhou, and [-] troops stationed in Yingzhou. As long as we guard Xiguan, the Turks will not be able to go south on a large scale. Besides, the Turks came here not for the sake of us."

"What Bobi?" Xue Wanshu, who had been silent all this time, began to guess.

"That's right." Duan Zhixuan looked at the dense forest and said, "The scouts told me that the Xi clan is preparing for war within the army. It seems that Xieli intends to take this opportunity to completely eliminate Shibobi."

"This is not good." Xue Wanshu frowned and said, "If Shibobi dies and the Xi clan is occupied by Jieli, then his next step must be Youzhou. We must take precautions early."

Duan Zhixuan nodded calmly.

Although he was calm on the surface, he was worried in his heart.The Turks led hundreds of thousands of soldiers, relying on the defense forces of Youzhou and Yingzhou, once Jieli went south, he could only defend desperately and send reinforcements to the court to buy time.

"I hope that Shibobi will have some effect." Duan Zhixuan said: "Wait a few more days, when it is extremely cold, Xieli will not be able to go south if he wants to."

According to the prince's instructions, he did some business with Shibobi in private, and sent some food to Shibobi to continue his life.

I hope Shibobi can realize its potential and continue to disgust Xieli.

Duan Zhixuan suddenly said: "Maybe, we can give Shibobi a little support."

"Solidarity?" Xue Wanshu was puzzled.

Two hours later, hundreds of Tang cavalry swept across the mountains and forests to drive away the Turkic scouts cruising.When the two sides meet, they are like enemies who are extremely jealous when they meet. It is necessary to greet each other's eighteen generations of ancestor women, and then you shoot me with a sword, and try it out.

Pfft!

A Turkic scout died tragically at the hands of Tang Qi, and the remaining one hurriedly fled into the dense forest on horseback.

"Brother Xiong, do you want to chase?" the scout asked.

Brother Xiong shook his head, "Fuck you, the superior asked us to add to the chaos, not to serve as a shield for the Xi family, get out!"

"Yes."

Jieli quickly learned of the news of Tang Qi's dispatch.

"Did Tang Jun join hands with Shibobi?" Jieli looked at the Turkic nobles and asked.

The Turkic nobles looked at each other, but no one answered.

Jieli's younger brother, Xue Yantuoshe, and Bulishe said, "Shall I lead troops to block Xiguan and prevent the Tang army from sending troops to help Shibobi?"

Jieli thought for a while and said, "Well, let's lead your soldiers to keep an eye on the Tang army's movements. It's fine if they don't come out of the customs. If they dare to send troops to help Shibobi, you should do it immediately and don't let them go."

"Yes."

Buli set the order to go.

Immediately afterwards, Jieli looked at Hu Bushe, who was also his younger brother, Chi Jishe.

"How many Hu cavalry?"

Chiji said: "Thirty thousand."

"Okay, Hu Bu is the vanguard in this battle, attack Xi Ren first!"

"As ordered!"

"Remember, you must succeed." Jie Li said: "In a few days, the weather will become colder, and it will be difficult to catch Shibobi."

"Yes!"

It was freezing cold, but the forest of the Xi clan was extremely lively.

Facing the menacing Xieli, Shibobi was ready for a last-ditch fight, and used all available soldiers to resist Xieli with all his strength.

Shibobi knew very well that once he fell into Xieli's hands, even if he didn't die, he would have to peel off his skin.

Therefore, he had to fight, and he had to fight until the end.

At the same time, Duan Zhixuan also learned the news that the Turks camped outside Xiguan.

He thought to himself, Shi Bobi, I tried my best to help you, don't let me down, if you last one more day, I will thank you one more day.

He will not care about Shi Bobi's life and death.
