bastard seizes tang

Chapter 424 Fortress
As far as Li Ke is concerned, the so-called waiting until tomorrow and the so-called asking Li Shimin to play are just words of delay by Li Ke. Li Ke's purpose is to delay for some time until the Tang Army's brigade arrives.

During the day, Li Ke deceived Yi Nan with the trick of blinding his eyes. He dragged on the most difficult time and resisted the risk and pressure. At the end, the number of Tang troops at the southern pass of Junji Mountain had reached more than [-]. In addition to the dangerous terrain, Li Ke no longer had any scruples, and he was really a barbarian who was passive everywhere.

At the foot of the south side of Junji Mountain, Xue Yantuo's army tent.

"Today, the Khan promised to give up all the south of the Dabu River to the Tang army. In the future when the two armies confront each other, the Tang army will have the upper hand." In the big tent, Xue Yantuo Pasha (Prime Minister) Ti Zhen Daguan said to the barbarian.

The Dabu River area was originally owned by Xue Yantuo. It is located at the junction of Nuozhenshui and Junji Mountain. The Dabu River Pass is located in a dangerous position. Naturally, Pasha Xueyantuo knew it too.

If someone else questioned Yi Nan like this, I am afraid that Yi Nan would have been angry a long time ago, but Tizhen's high-ranking official is different. Overcoming the objections of various ministries, Yi Nan is today.Moreover, Tizhen's high-ranking official has a very high status in Xue Yantuo's country, and Yi Nan has to be respected.

Yi Nan shook his head, sighed helplessly, and said, "Do you think I can decide today's matter? Li Ke has a large number of people, and the Dabu River pass is in Li Ke's hands. What does it have to do with it? Seeing Li Ke's condition today, I have the intention of taking Junji Mountain by force. I complied with this matter, and at least [-] elites of the imperial court were saved, and Junji Mountain was saved."

Tizhen Daguan sighed: "The Khan also wants to pass today's pass. It's not easy for Khan. I also know that it's just that the Tang army is staring at Mobei. I wanted to kill me, Xue Yantuo. Now that the Dabu River Pass has been lost, I, Xue Yantuo, will change it in the future." Obviously passive, I'm afraid the situation will become more difficult."

When Yi Nan heard this, his brows became tighter, and Yi Nan asked Ti Zhen, "Is there no progress in the news about Dadu setting up this villain?"

Ti Zhen Daguan replied: "It's still the same. I only know that Da Du She has led the remnants of the army and seems to have gone west. There is no other news. From my point of view, I am afraid that Da Du She is no longer in Junji Mountain."

Yi Nan asked, "What does Pasha mean?"

Ti Zhenda said: "Think about it, Khan, where is the west of Junji Mountain? Dadu set up disobedience first, and lost troops later. He is afraid of Khan's punishment, so he probably has already escaped."

Yi Nan listened to Tizhen Daguan's words, but after thinking about it for a while, he also understood what Tizhen Daguan meant. From Junji Mountain to the west, you can reach Jinshan Mountain, and at the foot of Jinshan Mountain, there is his mother clan in the Khobdo Grassland. Go, most likely defected to his mother clan.

Dadu She has been gone for a long time, and he doesn't know where he is going. It is impossible to get Dadu Set back, but Li Ke asked for Dadu Set by name, and Yi Nan was at a loss for a while.

"What should I do? Li Ke wants Dadu to explain to Emperor Tang, but Dadu has already fled to Jinshan, and there is absolutely no way to recover him. If he can't give it to someone tomorrow morning, I'm afraid Li Ke won't let it go. " Yi Nan's face was gloomy, and he spoke to Ti Zhen with concern.

Seeing Dadushe's worried face, Tizhen Daguan comforted him, "I don't think Khan should worry too much about Dadushe's matter."

Yi Nan asked puzzledly, "Why?"

Ti Zhenda said: "I once heard a saying in the Tang Dynasty called 'respecting the bandits'. I don't know if Khan has heard of it?"

After hearing the words, Yi Nan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know what Pasha means? Please Pasha explain it carefully."

Ti Zhenda said: "It's thousands of miles away from Chang'an. It will take ten days to come and go. If Li Ke wanted to attack Junji Mountain, he would have done it a long time ago. How could he waste time and order people to go to Chang'an?" Ask Emperor Tang for instructions."

Yi Nan asked, "Pasha means that Li Ke has no intention of attacking Xue Yantuo?"

Tizhen Daguan replied: "If Li Ke really wanted to embarrass Khan, he would have sent troops to cross the river today. Why bother to send people to Beijing. What Li Ke wants is just the Dabu River Pass, forcing me Xue Yantuo to become a minister again. Otherwise, Li Ke Kedang really has a decisive battle with me, Xue Yantuo, no matter how he wins or loses, after this battle, he will no longer be able to hold military power and run amok in the desert."

What the senior official Ti Zhen said was in line with Li Ke's temperament. When he was in Turkic, the barbarian knew that Li Ke must be an ambitious person, and he was definitely not taking it easy.

Yi Nan was talking with Tizhen Daguan, it seemed that he wanted to confirm what Tizhen Dazhi said, but at this moment, Dumozhi suddenly opened the tent door and walked in.

Tuo Mozhi entered the door and said, "Khan, the Tang troops crossing the river to prepare for battle have retreated."

When Yi Nan heard this, a smile appeared on his face, obviously just like what the official Ti Zhen said, Li Ke had no intention of crossing the river for a decisive battle.

"Pasha, follow me to see for myself."

Saying that, Yi Nan pushed open the tent door, quickly walked out of the big tent, and rushed straight to the river.

Sure enough, just as Tuo Mozhi said, when Yi Nan walked to the river, he looked up, and the Tang army on the other side of the river had already begun to retreat gradually, except for the soldiers who were patrolling on the river bank, there were very few people.

Even the wood, soil and rocks that had been placed on the bank of the river during the day were moved to the back by the Tang army, obviously no longer meant to cross the river and attack.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yi Nan felt a big stone in his heart fall to the ground, and he heaved a sigh of relief.

But things were not as simple as Yi Nan thought, Du Mozhi suddenly pointed to the opposite hillside highland, and said to Yi Nan: "Khan, Pasha, look, Tang Jun seems to be sending these earth, rocks and wood materials up the mountain move."

Hearing the words, Yi Nan and Ti Zhen Daguan hurriedly followed the point of view pointed by Tuo Mozhi, and saw that under the bright moonlight, there were clearly many Tang soldiers on the hillside carrying loads on their shoulders. Logs and earth and stones from the river bank were making their way up the hillside.

"What is Tang Jun going to do?" Tang Jun must have had other plans in moving so many heavy objects up the mountain with so much effort, Ti Zhen asked in surprise when he saw this.

Yi Nan looked at Tang Jun who was busy back and forth on the hillside, and said to Ti Zhenda, "The location is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Judging by Tang Jun's appearance, I'm afraid they are going to build a fort on the mountain."

The high official Tizhen said worriedly: "Tang originally regarded me, Xue Yantuo, as an enemy. Once this fortress is completed, the north-south road between Junji Mountain and Nuozhenshui will be cut off by the Tang army."

Yi Nan raised troops from Dujun Yu Mountain, was able to reconcile the nine surnames Tie Le, occupied Mobei, and was also a man who knew how to fight. How could he fail to see the importance of this fortress.

But Yinan looked at Tang Jun on the mountain, sighed helplessly, and said: "Now the enemy is strong and we are weak, so we can only see this. The most urgent thing right now is to secure the defense of Junji Mountain, and then quickly return to the army to deal with the large-scale equipment. This rebellious son will avoid enemies from inside and outside."
