Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 519

The wind in the courtyard is blowing, and the willow branches are swaying with the wind.

Luo Tong was still practicing with his spear in style.

Luo Yi stood up from the chair and walked back and forth in the courtyard.

The nine princesses married Qin Tian, ​​and Li Shimin bestowed the marriage?
What do you mean?
Li Shimin obviously doesn't take Yan Wang Luo Yi seriously?
Once the emperor and the courtiers, Li Shimin is afraid that he intends to get rid of him as a king with a different surname. Now that the nine princesses are married, his Luo family may have been laughed at by the people of Chang'an City, right?

Luo Yi walked back and forth, and after a while, Luo Yi suddenly stopped and said, "A few days ago, the spies reported that Liang Guo, Hou Sui and some tribes in the eastern part of Turkic had changed, but is that so?"

Luo Buping nodded, and said: "Returning to my father, it is true, and there is already the latest news that the Turks now have [-] soldiers and horses confronting the Tang army in Lingzhou. Here, several tribes of the Turks have teamed up with Liang Guo and the Hou Dynasty. In the Sui Dynasty, there were about [-] soldiers and horses, preparing to cross the Fenghua Road and attack Jingzhou in the south."

Fenghua Road is a very important checkpoint guarded by Luo Yi. If the Turkic soldiers and horses can pass Fenghua Road smoothly, they can spare the difficult cities of Datang and come directly to Jingzhou.

Jingzhou is already very close to Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that if the Turkic soldiers and horses can reach Jingzhou, it is tantamount to approaching Chang'an.

For Turkic soldiers and horses, crossing Fenghua Road is a very difficult task, but they are still willing to take the risk, as long as they can defeat the soldiers and horses set up by Luo Yi on Fenghua Road, it is much easier than besieging the city.

After hearing Luo Buping's words, Luo Yi's expression became more solemn, and then he ordered: "Tell the soldiers of Fenghua Dao to let them pretend to be Turkic."

Hearing that Fenghua Dao was going to be lent to the Turks, Luo Buping's expression changed suddenly, and he said, "Father, if you do this, you will be betraying the Tang Dynasty. If the Turks lose, it will be very unfavorable for our situation in Youzhou."

Directly lent Fenghuadao to the Turks without even beating them, or even resisting with all their heart.

However, when Li Shimin had just ascended the throne, Luo Yi really didn't take the new emperor seriously.

"Hmph, Li Shimin is only a child, what can he do to me? Your father and I have been guarding Youzhou since the Sui Dynasty, and I have never seen what they can do to us. If the Tang Dynasty dares to attack us , we will take refuge in the Turks."

Speaking of this, Luo Yi smiled softly again, and said: "However, if one hundred thousand soldiers and horses pass through Fenghua Road and approach Jingzhou, the Tang Dynasty may be seriously injured, or even directly lost to the Turks. It will be another world, and the turmoil in the Tang Dynasty is not a bad thing for us in Youzhou."

If the [-] Turkic soldiers approached Jingzhou, the situation might really be as Luo Yi said, the Great Tang, facing the [-] Turkic soldiers, would be powerless to turn the tide, because the elites of the Tang Dynasty were all in Lingzhou.

Luo Yi somewhat understood what Jieli Khan meant. Attacking Lingzhou was probably just to divert the tiger away from the mountains, and attacking Jingzhou was their ultimate goal of launching a war against Tang Dynasty.

Now that the elite of the Tang Dynasty are all in the hands of Li Jing in Lingzhou, it is not difficult to see that Jieli Khan's plan has succeeded.

Of course, they didn't expect that Luo Yi would help them again at this time.

After listening to Luo Yi's words, Luo Buping hesitated for a while, but quickly agreed.
-
Lingzhou City.

Li Jing has been guarding Lingzhou City for a year. During this year, the Turks have launched many attacks on Lingzhou, but they were all repelled by Li Jing, and many Turkic troops were damaged.

However, in winter, the Turks set up camp outside Lingzhou City, and easily stopped attacking the city.

However, in Li Jing's view, the Turks knew that the city was not easy to attack in winter, so they wanted to wait until the beginning of spring before attacking the city.

However, the spring in Lingzhou has come, and the willows and greens have sprouted, but the Turkic soldiers and horses outside the city have not moved at all.

This made Li Jing feel a little strange.

On this day, Li Jing was discussing matters with the officials in the military camp. At this time, a spy hurriedly reported: "General, I got a secret report that the Turkic side has organized [-] troops with Liang and the Later Sui Dynasty. You want to attack me, Datang."

Hearing that the Turks had organized another [-] troops, Li Jing's eyebrows froze immediately. The [-] troops joined forces with the Later Sui Dynasty and the Liang Kingdom, obviously wanting to borrow from the Liang Kingdom or the Later Sui Dynasty, and go straight to the Tang Dynasty.

However, in order to prevent Liang Guo and the later Sui Dynasty, the border cities there were very strong, and there were also soldiers and horses. It should be no problem to stick to it for half a year.

Li Jing thought about this information. Although he felt a little nervous at first, after half a year, he felt that the battle in Lingzhou should be almost over.

The Turks have been besieging here for a year, and the food and grass may be a bit insufficient, and every time they attack the city, the damage will be serious. As long as he asks Li Shimin for some more support, he can basically launch a counterattack and repel the Turkic soldiers here. However, the [-] soldiers and horses on the side of Liang Guo did not dare to continue to attack even if they were afraid.

A victory can basically solve the crisis.

However, until now, the Turks have never launched an attack on Lingzhou, which makes Li Jing feel very strange.

It stands to reason that Jieli Khan is ambitious, and it is impossible to just besiege the city all the time. He must want to capture Lingzhou City as soon as possible.

"What exactly is going on?"

Li Jing was talking to himself, and soon, he ordered someone to call the other spies.

"Recently, what happened to the Turkic military camp?"

"Returning to the marshal, the Turkic army camp has not changed anything, it is just on guard, and it seems that there is no plan to attack the city."

"What about Jieli Khan?"

"Jieli Khan?" The spy was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It seems that Jieli Khan has not appeared in front of the Turkic soldiers for a long time. He has been staying in the tent all the time."

"Stay in the tent all the time?" Li Jing was a little strange. For Jieli Khan who grew up on the grassland, he probably yearned for the blue sky, so it was impossible for him to stay in the tent all the time.

If it is really possible, there are only two situations. First, Jieli Khan is ill and has to stay in the tent, but the Turkic army camp is not in a panic. Those who are sick can't leave the camp. The Turks should retreat.

Then it can only be the second situation. Jieli Khan is not outside Lingzhou city at all.

When Li Jing thought of this, his expression changed suddenly, and his whole body trembled. If Jieli Khan was not outside Lingzhou City, he must be among another Turkic army.

They are afraid of making a big move.

Uneasy, uneasy.

"Come on, hurry up and send this news to the capital to inform the Holy One."
