The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 917 Nine hundred six: The brief calm before the war
As Chai Shao said, he immediately sent the school to invite Su Dingfang. When Su Dingfang learned that Duan Wuji had led the army over, he made the old man very happy.

He led the army to fight the Turks for many days. To be honest, he is physically and mentally exhausted now!

It's just that the responsibility lies, and it is barely supported.

To be honest, he and Chai Shao's army fought very hard against the Turkic people for the past few days. After all, he had few soldiers, but the Turkic people had more soldiers.

In case of losing the battle, my lifetime of wisdom will be in vain!

This Su Dingfang and Chai Shao are on the right track, both of them are cunning and cunning!

This Su Dingfang is scheming and cunning, and he doesn't want to suffer at all!

Chai Shao is known as the white-faced silver fox, and he is extremely cunning and extremely difficult to deal with.

These two people deal with each other, on the surface they are laughing and joking, but in fact they are also guarding against each other.

When he received a letter from Chai Shao today, the old man was overjoyed.

That Duan Wuji is righteous, and he is Su Hu's godfather. This Duan Wuji is here, how could he not be happy!

He also knew that Duan Wuji was extremely ferocious, and he was very good at using soldiers. He fought many classic battles, and with his own wisdom, it was simply impossible for him to do so.

With such a coach in charge, the burden on oneself is much easier.

Su Dingfang led the personal guards and rushed straight to Chai Shao's army.

When he arrived at Chai Shao's camp, Su Dingfang jumped off his horse and went straight to the treasure tent of the Chinese army.

After entering the big account, there are only two people in the big account, Duan Wuji and Chai Shao.

The two were talking quietly together, when Duan Wuji saw Su Dingfang coming in, he quickly said with a smile: "Brother Su, you are here! Sit down quickly! Our brothers are waiting for you?"

Su Dingfang was not polite, and immediately walked over and sat between the two of them.

Su Dingfang looked at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Marshal Duan, it's been so many days since the war started, why did you come here?

To be honest, brother Chai Shao and I fought against Najieli Khan's army. We fought six large-scale wars, but we never won this battle.

Both of us have casualties, but there is still no clue to this war.

Marshal Duan, since you are here, I think you should be in charge of the government yourself!

If you personally command this army, we will be able to achieve that decisive victory. "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Brother Su, don't lift me up, who doesn't know! The higher you lift, the more fragile you fall.

If there is anything, the three of us will discuss it.

Only through discussion can we win this war. "

After Su Dingfang sat down, he looked at Duan Wuji and asked, "Duan YuanDuan, do you have any good ideas for this strategy to destroy the enemy?"

Duan Wuji grinned and said: "It's not a good idea, but I have a few bad ideas.

Today the three of us get together, and I will talk about my thoughts.

I guess that in the next few days, Najieli Khan will attack us in a big way, so we will close the gate of the village and not fight with them.

If they come to attack, we can shoot them back with bows and arrows.

They can insult as much as they like?Anyway, this thing can't do anything to us.

Listen to me, you two, let the soldiers refresh their spirits these days and prepare for the coming battle. "

You find that if the enemy's offensive momentum is weak, then it is a good time for us to attack.

At that time, the three of us will lead our respective armies to attack. Remember, when we attack, we have to pull out all the troops. The soldiers who guard the house cannot exceed 3000 people.

Do you two understand? "

Chai Shao looked at Duan Wuji and asked: "I said brother, what is this all about?

Can you tell us both why? "

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "As far as I know, Najieli Khan's army is already short of food and grass.

I analyzed that guy as a person who never sees the coffin and does not shed tears. Before he runs out of food, he wants to gamble wildly.

If he wants to fight us decisively, we will delay the battle for a few days, why should we listen to him!

When he rushed to the point where he couldn't get the food back, they would definitely withdraw their troops.

At that time, our three-way army will attack together, and we will beat the dog in the water.

Even if we can't kill 'em all, let's beat 'em up. "

Su Dingfang looked at Duan Wuji and asked: "Marshal Duan, is your news accurate?
Let's not fall for Najieli Khan just because of fake news. "

Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

"I said Su Dingfang, don't have any doubts about this matter.

The two of you are here to fight against the army of Jieli Khan.

Do you think our three-way army is idle?Let me tell you that we have already dispatched troops.

Our three-way army was behind the Turks, killing, burning, and looting!

The Turks in their rear were almost all killed by the three of us.

We kill men, women and children, as long as they are Turks, we will kill them!

We implemented the three-all policy on their territory, killing, burning, and looting. Now that their people are gone, where do you think they can find food?

They are now short of food in the army, that is [-] percent.

When we came here this time, we got another [-] zero horses from them. Didn't we get them all back?

Most of the military horses you have added here were snatched by the three of us commanding the army.

Without the tossing of our three armies in the Turkic rear, I am afraid your army would not be able to replenish. "

Su Dingfang looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Oh, that's how it happened!

It turns out that they are now at the end of their battles, that's great!Then we will do as you said.

Since they are short of food in the army, I, Su Dingfang, can simply leave 1000 troops to guard the house when the time comes, and I will take out the rest of the army.

I will definitely kill them until their heads roll off and their blood flows into rivers.

It's his grandma's, we two brothers are really angry with him these days.

This time, my old Sophie must avenge his revenge! "

After hearing this, Chai Shao said: "Marshal Duan, since you have given the order, then we will obey it.

Well, then I will divide the troops for these generals in advance, so as not to mess up when it happens! "

After the three of them settled on this plan, the meeting broke up.

In the next four days, a large group of Turkic people came to challenge, but Duan Wuji and the others shut their doors tightly and refused to fight.

Ho!Anxious those Turkic people are like ants on a hot pot.

Because the languages ​​of the two countries are not the same, no matter how much the Turkic people insulted them in the pass.

Tang Jun who closed it didn't understand at all.

After four days, that Jieli Kehan ​​was really impatient.

"His grandma, this Tang Jun has increased his troops, why is he so courageous now!
Before I challenged them to be anxious, they dared to fight us.

Now why is his grandma turning into a shrinking turtle instead!If this continues for a long time, we will have to withdraw our troops.

His grandma spent so much national power, but there is no benefit at all.

If you just withdraw the troops like this, I really can't bear it in my heart!

If this goes back to China, it will make people laugh out loud!

This group of boys is really not a thing for his grandma.

It is really a headache to fight against such a cunning Tang army.

Why haven't the other two food dispatching teams I sent out come back yet?

This little food can last for three or four days.

After three or four days, I had to withdraw my troops.

After this war is over, how many years will it take before we can recover from it! "

After another three days, the Turkic people really ran out of food. At this time, the team that had been going out to transport food came back.

When Jieli Khan saw these people came back, he didn't bring back a grain of grain.

He was really disappointed.

He called the leader of the grain requisition mission over and asked loudly: "You have been away for so many days, why didn't you bring back a grain of grain?

Tell me, what is going on here? "

The leader who transported the grain heard it and burst into tears.

"Jieli Khan, my great monarch, something is wrong. We went back to transport food this time, and we found that all our villages were gone. On the original site, there were only some tattered things left. At first we thought our people had moved away.

Later, the more we thought about it, the more something went wrong, so I asked the soldiers to search around, and finally found a clue.

In fact, our people did not move away, they were all killed, not to mention the tragic death conditions.

These people who were killed included the gray-haired old man and the nursing child, all missing arms and legs. It makes people feel distressed to see them!

Almost all the residents we passed by were in this situation.

My great Khan, our country was ruined by those bastards, our people were all killed by them, and now it has truly become a no-man's land.

If you send people to collect food now, what a fart it is!

On our way back, we met a soldier from another requisition team.

The soldier was a soldier with no arms or legs. He told us that their team encountered an ambush from the Tang Dynasty.

The troops of the Tang Dynasty killed almost all of their men and took away their horses.

He passed out at that time, so the troops of the Tang Dynasty didn't make up for him.

After a long time, he came to himself again, and we planned to get him back.

However, he disagreed. He said that he didn't want to live anymore, and it was meaningless to live without arms and legs.

In the end he chose to commit suicide, and we watched our good brother commit suicide just like that.

The sadness in our hearts!We suppressed tears and buried him.

Majesty Jiri Khan, our Lord, this is how it happened.

The food requisition team is now gone. "

When Jieli Khan heard this, he rolled his eyes and fell to the ground. It took a long time for the old boy to come in.

"God! Longevity! Why is this happening?
Do you think that the country that I, Jieli Khan, has been running for so many years should just disappear like this!
Now I have no food inside and no reinforcements outside!

The food in this army is enough for a day or two at most.

It seems that there is really no way to fight this battle again. If we continue to fight, we will not get any good results!

His grandma's, Li Shimin, Duan Wuji!Your hearts are too cruel!
You just killed me, Jieli Khan, why did you slaughter all my subjects!

It doesn't matter if you kill one thousand or two thousand, why did you kill all my subjects?

This makes me how can I be a big khan in the future? "

When the soldiers around saw the bear-like appearance of Jieli Khan, they couldn't help but shook their heads.

After Jieli Khan made such a fuss, more people knew about it.

Not too long, the whole camp is in chaos, and every soldier is aware of the current situation in the army.

This is about to run out of food, and my relatives behind have been killed by those Tang soldiers.

Now that my own army of hundreds of thousands is really at its most dangerous time.

Jieli Khan stood up, cleared his mind, and immediately issued an order: "Come on! Call all the generals in this army to my tent.

I'm going to hold an emergency meeting for them, and I have something very important to discuss with them.

Not too long, these Turkic generals walked into the big tent one after another.

Before entering the big tent, these generals had already heard that a food requisition team had just returned, and there was no food requisitioned!

These generals were also in a hurry, they just wanted to ask Jieli Khan a question after entering the big account.

Najieli Khan spoke first.

"Everyone, I, Jieli, am sorry for you!

Let me tell you a very unfortunate news, we are fighting here, and the three armies of the Tang Army are not idle, they rushed into our country and almost killed all our relatives.

I also got the news just now, so if we want to collect food for war again, it is already impossible.

I called everyone together just to discuss with you.

We should retreat our troops, but can you tell us in which direction we should retreat our troops?
One is to retreat to the north, to the Beihai area.

The other is to retreat westward and join our Western Turkic team. "

The vast majority of the population of these Turkic countries lived in the southern part of the desert, and the number of people living in the northern part of the desert was very small.

The weather in Monan is warm and the grass grows tall, so the vast majority of the population lives here.

The population of Mobei is not even one-tenth of the total population!

Although the ground there is very wide, it is an absolutely bitter cold place, and the living environment is much worse than that in Monan.

After hearing this, these generals all advocated going to Xisar and defecting to the Naxi Turks.

There are only three or two people who advocate going to Mobei.

When Jieli Khan saw this, he had nothing to do.

After all, the will of the people cannot be violated.

This Xieli Khan made a decision on the spot, and he will have a full meal tonight, so he will sneak away quietly under the cover of night.

The matter was decided in this way, but what these people didn't expect was that a big war was quietly kicking off.
