Chapter 404 The horse stepped on the Turks, and Xieli was captured

The previous text has been modified (picture)——
The winter of the third year of Kaiyuan was as expected by Li Chunfeng, much colder than previous years.

If the news had not been received early, the northern part of the Central Plains would have been in a state of disaster.

Turkic is located in the farther north, and the rare white disaster in decades ravages the grasslands, cattle and sheep froze to death in pieces, Xieli moved the Yazhang to Dingxiang early.

(Note: Some historical materials say that it is in Xiangcheng, but it is a bit big, and it is impossible to determine the location of "Dingxiang County", so it is tentatively designated as Dingxiang City.)
Dingxiang originally belonged to Bian County in the former Sui Dynasty. However, in the 11th year of Daye, Yang Guang was besieged in Yanmen when Yang Guang was escaping the summer in Fenyang Palace, and Dingxiang then fell into the hands of Turks!
This city is located in the northeast of the east corner of the "Ji" shape of the Yellow River. Although there are tall walls to block the cold wind, it is still extremely cold.

In addition, Dagan has been on the defensive against the Turks since the founding of the country, and there is a natural barrier of Eiyang Ridge on the south side, so the vigilance is not strict.

When the news of Kou Zhong's personal conquest just came out from Chang'an, Zhang Xutuo had ordered Qin Qiong to lead 3000 Xiao cavalry to set off from Mayi and rush to Dingxiang!

At the same time, other five-way armies also arrived at the designated locations. (March route map)
Li Jing of the East Route Army, after carrying five days of rations in the clouds, marched all the way to the north of Dingxiang City, and got stuck between Baidao Fortress and Dingxiang City. If Jieli fled northward, he would be able to intercept him on the way.

Xu Shiji, the West Route Army, left Lishi early and headed north along the Yellow River, and is now setting up an ambush at Yinshan Mountain, northwest of Dingxiang.

The Qu Tutong and Song Zhi tribes to the east are also in place.

Shan Xiongxin in the direction of Lingwu also led his troops across the Yellow River and went straight to Suni Lost Tooth Tent.

Sunishi's full name is Ashina. Sunishi, and a compatriot of Tuli's mother, were also made little khans by Jieli. The purpose of Shan Xiongxin's department is to monitor Sunishi and prevent him from helping Xieli.

And Xieli, who was enjoying the stove in Dingxiangyang City, knew nothing about it!
It was night, Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin led [-] elites to attack Dingxiang City at night against the wind and snow, crossing the Eiyang Ridge!

Because the weather was very bad, the Turkic side was completely unprepared, and Qin Qiong captured the South City Gate in one face-to-face!

The Turkic people who didn't know the reason even thought that the Gan army was "a divine soldier descended from heaven", which immediately made me panic all over the city.

Jieli Khan didn't expect the Qian army to come suddenly, thinking that since the opponent dared to go deep alone, there must be a main force to follow, so he immediately led more than [-] people to the north gate and left the city, intending to withdraw the Yazhang to Qikou.

However, Jieli was only [-] miles away from Dingxiang when he was intercepted by Li Jing's troops. The panicked Turkic people broke up and fled north under Pei Xingyan's two bright silver hammers.
When Jieli fled to Baidao City, only [-] of Dingxiang City's [-] troops remained around, and even including Baidao City's garrison, it was less than [-]!
In one night, the Qian army killed more than [-] enemies and captured nearly [-] people. It is difficult to count the number of those who fled.

After Zhang Xutuo and his army settled in Dingxiang, he received Li Jing's advice and immediately dispersed many spies to drive a wedge between the Turkic tribes.

Immediately thereafter, Jieli's confidant general Kang Sumi led his army to surrender.

After hearing about this, Jieli didn't dare to stay in Baidao City, and retreated towards Yinshan with the remaining Turkic soldiers who fled to Baidao one after another, but bumped into Xu Shiji's troops who had been waiting here for a long time.

Baidao City was a frontier fortress in the Sui Dynasty, and it was originally just a military town. How could the Turkic people who were suffering from hunger and cold be the opponents of the army who waited for work at leisure?

Jieli, who managed to escape to Tun Tieshan, had less than [-] remnant soldiers left!

Jieli felt that he was no match for the army at this time, so he planned to delay the army, and sent Zhi Shisili as a special envoy to Chang'an to submit a letter of apology to Kou Zhong to surrender, and expressed his willingness to join the country.

In fact, it is waiting for the next year when the grass is green and the horse is fat, and then plans to make a comeback.

However, at this time Kou Zhong has rushed to Dingxiang with five thousand soldiers!
After hearing this, he immediately guessed what Xieli was thinking.

Although Jieli has lost several battles in a row, there are still a lot of people scattered around. If he goes northward from Qikou, he might be able to get the protection of the nine-surnamed Tie Le to survive this cold winter. Big trouble!

After informing the ministers about this matter in the hall, Kou Zhong turned his head to look at Xue Shou, "Song Guogong, send an urgent message to Li Jing, and order him to speed up his march and rush to Qikou within ten days, in case Jieli flees north!"

"Yes!" Xue Shou took the order immediately.

Kou Zhong thought for a while, and then said: "Leave the urgent letter to King Xiaoyao, and travel by the bird, so as not to delay the military situation!"

"Yes!"

"Order! Xu Shiji and Qin Qiong will split into two groups in ten days and raid Tun Tieshan!"

"Yes!" After Xue Shou took the order, he looked up at Kou Zhong, as if he had something to say.

Seeing this, Kou Zhong immediately asked: "What's the Duke of Song's idea?"

Xue Shou arched his hands, "Your Highness clearly sees that this subject feels that we should first send people to Tieshan to appease."

"That's right!" Kou Zhong pondered for a while, then nodded in agreement, then raised his head to look at a middle-aged man at the door near the hall, "Mr. Xihe."

The man was slender and dressed as a scribe, but the occasional flashes of light in his eyes indicated that he had quite impressive strength.

This person is Dugu Feng, also known as Dugu Ce's father.

The Dugu Clan is one of the few Guanlong surnames who have not joined the Li Clan, and the whole clan stays in Dagan. Unlike the big clans such as the Webster, Yu, Du, and Yuan clans, they place bets on both sides.

But Kou Zhong never had any trust in the Dugu Clan, and even his title was demoted from the Duke of Ruyang County in the former Sui Dynasty to the Duke of Xihe County.

This trip to Tieshan as an envoy was really too dangerous, and he planned to give Dugu Clan a chance.

"Your Highness!" Dugu Feng stood up and cupped his fists, waiting for Kou Zhong's order.

When You Chuhong was seriously injured in Shenchi and was taken back to Chang'an by Lone Ce brothers and sisters, the whole Dugu Clan was in chaos.

At that time, although Li Yuan had lost his arm, the support of the nobles and Buddhists for the Li family did not decrease, but increased.

But Dugu Ce believes that the Li family is unreliable!
It's a pity that he didn't have much right to speak in the Dugu Clan. After the news of Dugu Sheng's death came back in the next year of Yuwenhua and Gongchang, Dugu Ce once again proposed to join the Song Clan Army.

However, it failed.

It wasn't until Li Shimin wanted to seek Chang'an that he found an opportunity to secretly hand over a secret letter to Kou Zhong who was in Hanzhong at the time.

Only then did Lonely Valve have a chance to bounce back!
Kou Zhong, who was sitting at the top, had deep eyes, and said calmly, "Mr. Xihe, would you like to go to Tun Tieshan in seven days? See Na Jieli, so I can rest my mind!"

Hearing this, Dugu Feng frowned, this is giving him a chance for the Dugu family!
Yes, Tun Tieshan and his party must be extremely dangerous, but as the saying goes, wealth and wealth are sought in danger!

His Dugu family has no shortage of wealth and honor, but his position in Dagan is very embarrassing. Although he is also a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, all the affairs of the Ministry of Rites are handled by Shangshu Tang Jian, and he is completely idle.

Now that Kou Zhong has entrusted him with this important task, it is obvious that he intends to use the Dugu family, no matter how dangerous he is, he will do it!
Dugufeng bowed without any hesitation, and shouted loudly: "My minister Dugufeng, take orders!"

"Okay!" Kou Zhong got up and walked out from behind the table, came to Dugu Feng and helped him up, "Aiqing's trip is extremely dangerous, so be careful!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Seven days later, when Xieli, who was stationed in Tuntieshan, saw Dugu Peak, he was overjoyed, thinking that the strategy of slowing down the troops had worked.

On the 200th day of the twelfth lunar month, Xu Shiji's general Su Dingfang led [-] cavalry as the vanguard. Under the cover of thick fog, he marched forward with his head in his hands, and was not found until seven miles away from Jieli Yazhang!
Su Dingfang drove straight in and captured the tooth tent of Turkic Jieli Khan!
Xu Shiji led the army to follow up, and Qin Qiong attacked from the east, and the Turkic army was defeated again!

Dugufeng blocked more than a dozen Turkic masters with his body, and guarded the officials of the Ministry of Rites firmly behind him, without any damage!

It was a battle, the [-] troops assembled by Xieli recently were wiped out, and more than [-] were captured!
Although Xieli fled north again with his remnant soldiers, Xiaojin in the air had already spotted him, leaned slightly and flew towards Qikou.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Jieli tribe, which already had less than [-] people, was beaten head-on by Li Jing in Qikou. This battle completely defeated Xieli's confidence.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the generals to block the enemy, Jieli took his son Dieluoshi and two hundred soldiers, turned their horses and fled westward, preparing to join King Fuyun of Tuyuhun (Fuqian's father) or King Quwentai of Gaochang. .

Anyone is fine, as long as it can ease him through this winter!
Xieli, who fled from Qikou all the way to the southwest, didn't know that his whereabouts had already been seen clearly by Xiaojin in the sky.

Shan Xiongxin's unit in the direction of Lingwu, after receiving the "mail" brought by Xiaojin, immediately sent troops to the north to intercept the prisoners near Huaiyuan (now Yinchuan).

Kou Zhong was overjoyed when he heard that Jieli had been captured, and immediately passed it on to the three armies.

It was the New Year's Eve at this time, and after all the soldiers knew about it, the voice of "Wan Sheng" continued for a long time.

So far, Dagan no longer has to worry about the north! ——
It took too much time to check the information, there is only one chapter today, I am very sorry
