Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 926 Khan Has Arrived at the Territory of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 48 The Khan Has Arrived at the Territory of the Tang Dynasty
Li Jiancheng's temples were throbbing, his blood pressure soared, his breathing became heavier and heavier, his teeth became more and more itchy, and his eyes became more and more red.

However, looking at Fang Xuanling's unbeaten face, Li Jiancheng said angrily: "Since the end of the great cause of the previous dynasty, the 36 roads in the world have rebelled against the king, and the dust and smoke of the 72 roads have risen in chaos. They plundered the Central Plains, robbed countless wealth, robbed hundreds of thousands of Han women, raped them at night, and cooked them at dawn. They used Han as "sheep" and killed them for food. All these are too numerous to write down! When the Turks came to the throne, they went south to attack Looting Andong, Hebei, Liangzhou, such a shameful humiliation, if it cannot be washed away, I will never be able to hold my head up in this life. Turks, I must fight."

Fang Xuanling approached Li Jiancheng, pointed at Li Jiancheng with a halberd and said, "Does Your Majesty think that the humiliation of one person is more important than the lives of thousands of people and the safety of the country? Lieutenant generals and soldiers are about to throw their lives on the battlefield, and how many women, young and old, are about to lose their relatives. His Majesty promised that the states and counties in the world will be exempt from taxes for three years. Now that one year has not yet arrived, His Majesty will renege on his promise and lose weight Yet?"

Li Jiancheng was so angry that the veins on his forehead were exposed.

The other prime ministers in the political hall looked at each other in blank dismay.

Li Jiancheng pointed at Fang Xuanling angrily and said, "Fang Xuanling, you are the Minister of the Tang Dynasty, you are not a businessman with a bad mouth, and you can't get up early without profit. It seems that war is still a profitable business, and you don't make money. You can’t fight. Tuli is now cornered and can only ask us for help. This is a great time to send troops.”

Wei Zheng couldn't help smiling.

Wei Zheng walked up to Li Jiancheng, bowed and said, "Jieli is very difficult, isn't it difficult for Your Majesty?"

Li Jiancheng said without hesitation: "With Tuli as the internal support, I am [-]% sure that I can win this battle."

Fang Xuanling sneered and said, "I'm [-]% sure, it sounds good. Your Majesty, you are not the crown prince, nor are you the Great Governor of the Left Army of the Tang Dynasty..."

Li Jiancheng was stunned.

Fang Xuanling said: "As a general, you only need to consider the [-]% victory; but as an emperor, Your Majesty, what you need to consider is the [-]% failure. Today's Tang Dynasty can afford the [-]% failure." ?"

Li Jiancheng was silent.

Fang Xuanling really wasn't aimlessly targeting, let alone talking nonsense, nor was it scaremongering.

This time, Datang lost most of the soldiers in the army because of its better troops and simpler administration, and the abolition of the old and the weak.Redundant officials were abolished, and the world's aristocratic families were obtained.The clan descended to nobility, and got the clan kings.

The current Tang Dynasty appears to be calm on the surface, but in fact it is undercurrents, like dry wood pouring oil, as long as there is a little spark, it will definitely start a prairie fire.

Back then, when Yang Guang was in rebellion all over the world, if he could give up his second duty to go east to Goguryeo, and the state capitals in the world left more than one million troops, those 36 roads against the king and 72 roads of dust and smoke, I am afraid that they can go wherever it is cool wait.

At this time, when the Turks are sent out, everyone will be happy if they win, but if they lose, the consequences will be like the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng bowed to Fang Xuanling deeply, and said: "I really can't come up with an answer to Fang Xuanling's question. It is not profitable for the Tang Dynasty to fight this battle. I have decided to temporarily put aside the aid to the emergency. beneficial issue."

Everyone stood up in unison, and said to Li Jiancheng, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Jiancheng waved his hand indifferently, and left indifferently.

……

In Mobei, a waning moon radiates a faint silver brilliance, passing through the clouds.On the ground, the desert, which was not much alive, was silent, only the gravel weakly reflected the moonlight.

In the camp of the Eastern Turkic Royal Court, countless piles of bonfires were burning, illuminating the entire huge camp as bright as day.

At this time, a six-foot-high platform was built on the open space directly in front of Jieli Khan's tent.

On the high platform was a man wearing a ghost mask and holding a magic weapon made of human bones. There were nine fist-sized human skeletons on the magic weapon.

The wizard danced and danced while holding the magic weapon, while singing. .

All the Turks held their breath and looked at the wizard.

However, with the chattering language of the wizard, he gradually became crazy.

The wizard knelt on the ground, grabbed a handful of white ash from the spittoon on the high platform, and sprinkled it on top of his head.

The Turkic people also imitated the wizard, picked up the dust and sprinkled it on their heads.

The wizard took out a small knife, and gently cut a bloody cut in the middle of the forehead, then took his finger, dipped in the blood, and wiped the blood on the human skeleton.

All the Turkic people also picked up small knives one after another, aimed at the center of their foreheads, and gently cut a bloody gash, and the blood flowed out along the wound.

Suddenly, an East Turkic agent handed a parchment to Jieli Khan.

Jieli Khan opened it to watch, then threw it aside with a sneer, and said with a sneer, "Okay, Tuli has an affair with Tang Dynasty. It seems that my good nephew is unwilling to be lonely."

Bu Lugen paused and said: "Tuli is planning to take the throne of the Great Khan, and wants to borrow Tang Jun's help."

Jieli Khan smiled sinisterly and said, "They have a good idea."

As he said that, Jieli Khan stood up suddenly, raised his hand and said, "Blow the trumpet, order Ye Hu to set up Khan's tent to discuss matters!"

The bugler beside Jieli immediately picked up the shiny black horn and put it to his mouth to blow.

"Woooo..."

With the sound of the sobbing horns, the faces of the Turkic nobles who were watching the Turkic wizard's sacrifice changed drastically.This is a war mobilization number, and ordinary Turkic soldiers don't need to pay attention to it, but Turkic leaders above Khan and special agents need to enter the big account to discuss matters.

Soon the Turkic nobles all entered the big account.

Inside the big tent, Jieli Khan knocked on the sheepskin pier with a scabbard.

The Turkic elders all fell silent.

Jieli said: "Tuli is going to seek refuge with Li Tang, and the Great Khan has decided to destroy the traitor Tuli!"

Mo He Yehu, the guardian of the four great leaves, said: "The war horses and livestock of our tribes have suffered heavy losses. Up to now, those animal spirits have not recovered their vitality. It has not been a year yet, why are we going to fight again?"

A Shehan also said: "If there is another war, the spirits of the animals will probably freeze to death this winter.

Mo He Ye guarded: "All the animal spirits are dead, how can people live?"

All the elders echoed in unison.

Jieli said: "Tuli, if he takes Li Tang's troops to attack Dingxiang and Mobei, where are you going?"

The Turkic nobles still looked reluctant.

After all, they didn't believe that Tuli Little Khan would seek refuge in Tang. The so-called surrender was probably a plot by Xieli.

Jieli Khan looked at the crowd and said displeasedly: "In this way, anyone who is willing to go out with me can share Tuli's pastures and slaves, more or less, according to their contribution."

The Turkic nobles looked at each other and nodded to Jieli Khan one after another.

Turkic is a place where strength is king, and their interests are paramount.Although Tuli is the son of Shibi Khan, in terms of interests, Tuli is far inferior to actual interests.

……

Dingxiang is located in the Dingxin Plain, surrounded by four rivers. Compared with the fertile land in the Central Plains, Dingxiang is not a good place.But relatively speaking, this is a relatively rich place in the north.

Later Sui Dynasty court was established in Dingxiang, and when Jieli Khan found out, he handed over the Han people plundered from various places to Later Sui Dynasty. These industrious Sui Dynasty survivors reclaimed wasteland here.

After several years of development, in the Dingxin basin, which covers an area of ​​more than 2000 square kilometers, a full 200 ​​million mu of land can be reclaimed, and two to three million shi of grain can be harvested every year.

The Tuli Little Khan is now stationed in Dingxiang.

In the original history, the Tang Dynasty was relatively weak, and Xieli had no fear, so he set up the king's tent in Dingxiang.But in this time and space, he didn't have the guts to let Tuli Khan station in the Dingxin Basin.

The distance from the main grain-producing areas of Turks is not to give Turks a place where they can spread their oil and water, but once there is a war between the Tang Dynasty and Turks, this will be the main battlefield.

After Tuli moved to the Ministry, Tang Jun's sudden appearance became his biggest worry.Fortunately, Yu Wenhuaji offered him some advice and let people unite with Datang, avoiding the passive situation of being attacked by the enemy.

Tuli attaches great importance to the defense of Jiangjun Mountain in the north and Tiemen Pass. Of course, once Jieli makes a move, Tuli has no chance of winning.The only thing he can do is to warn in advance and escape in advance.

In a cave facing the north more than ten miles away in Tiemen Mountain, a group of scouts under Tuli's command slept in the cave, burning a bonfire, roasting meat, and cooking Nunai soup in an iron pot.

The scouts who were sleeping soundly got up suddenly, put a large handful of wet mud on the firepit to put out the fire, lay down on the ground, and listened intently with their ears on the ground.The dozen sentry riders also threw down the unfinished tea soup without hesitation, lying on the ground, like a group of hunters who found a ferocious beast approaching.

The pebbles on the ground trembled slightly, this was by no means an illusion.

The leader of the scouts lowered his voice and said, "A large group of cavalry is coming this way!"

"I heard it all, what should I do?"

The leader said: "Get on the horse, let's go to that gentle slope, where we can see farther!"

The sentinels and riders looked dignified, quickly packed up their things and got on their horses, clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse ran towards the gentle slope a hundred paces away.

The gentle slope is not high, only about a hundred feet, but the terrain in this area is flat, and with such a commanding height, you can see how far away.A dozen riders carefully separated the bushes, climbed up the gentle slope, and looked into the distance. What they saw made them dumbfounded.

fire flow!

Tens of thousands of torches merged into a stream of fire that swept towards Dingxiang!
The Turkic cavalrymen held a torch and galloped their horses against the night wind. When the torches were still, they looked like stars falling from the sky and scattered all over the ground. When they moved, they looked like a river of flames. , that magnificent picture, and that soaring murderous aura, made these sentry cavalry under Tuli's command chill all over, speechless.

At this time, it is obviously not a good thing that so many Turkic cavalry swarmed in. This is not to kill all the Turkic troops, and they will never give up.

"Xuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuua of time, sharp arrows came through the air.The Turkic people have spent their entire youth in the flames of war, and all of them have experienced many battles. Naturally, they are not ignorant of the role of this gentle slope.In order to ensure the secrecy of the mobilization of the main force of the army, they spread dozens of times more sentry horses under Tuli's command, and opened the mighty security curtain. This small sentry horse just hit their fangs.

Under the moonlight, [-] or [-] lightly armed Turkic cavalry roared towards them, their strong bows stretched into the full moon, and their arrows shot like arrows at the sentry cavalry of the Turkic army occupying this small commanding height.Their arrows were precise and powerful, and immediately three or four Tuli sentry cavalry were shot in the vital point, screamed and fell to the ground, convulsed a few times and then became silent.

The sentinel leader shouted: "Fight back!"

But just as he finished speaking, a sharp mace arrow shot from his mouth and shot out from the back of his head...

More than a dozen Turkic sentry riders endured the sharp arrows flying like locusts, and shot at the ground with their bows and crossbows. After shooting two arrows, they immediately drew their swords and rushed towards the Turkic knights who had already killed them, fighting them. In a group, this little sentinel cavalry was submerged by the rolling iron cavalry in an instant...

The east is showing a white belly, and the sun is slowly rising from behind the horizon.Facing the rising sun, in a military stronghold at the front of the Tiemenguan defense line on Jiangjun Mountain, the defenders under Tuli saw a blood-stained sentinel galloping towards them on a horse that was also covered in wounds. Come.

The war horse was foaming from its mouth and nose, and its oil was exhausted.They hurriedly opened the gate of the village and let the sentinel come in.The sentinel rushed to the door, and the horse suddenly hissed sadly, and fell to the ground, knocking the knight on the horse, causing his head to bleed.Before he passed out, the knight had a hoarse voice, and shouted at the dumbfounded defenders, "Quick, light the beacon, the Xieli army is coming, there are 10 people..."

This terrible news caused a commotion in the military camp, and the small school in charge of all affairs in the military camp roared: "Hurry up and take the man down for treatment! You, hurry up and light the beacon fire! You, hurry up and ride to Dingxiang to inform Khan , Said that Xieli is calling! Others blocked the gate of the village and brought all the Leimu ash bottles over, hurry up!"

Soon, the beacon fire of this military camp was lit, and a thick smoke shot straight into the sky, which could be seen from twenty or thirty miles away.

Then, another beacon in the military village was lit.A series of military villages and beacon towers lit their beacons one after another after seeing the signal, and the smoke pillars spread from Jinzhou to Dingxiang like pillars of smoke.About half an hour later, Tuli in Dingxiang City had received the terrible news.

Almost at the same time, Tuli also heard the earth-shattering sound of horseshoes, and a faint sound came from the horseshoes: "Don't run away from Tuli..."

Yinghefu said anxiously to Tuli: "Khan, the children can't stand it, Jieli has too many people.

Tuli's face turned pale: "Run!"

Inhofer and a group of guards set up Tuli and fled desperately.

Just after Tuli left the city, the Turkic army of the brigade also rushed into Dingxiang City.

Jie used Tuli's title to reward the nobles, claiming to behead or capture Tuli alive, and directly named the little Khan.

Watching Tuli's wolf-tailed Zuo Tao leave Dingxiang City, the Turkic cavalry behind him immediately divided up and pursued.

Tuli and all the guards ran in front, while smoke and dust billowed in the distance behind, and Jieli's cavalry was chasing hard.

Tuli's horse groaned and collapsed to the ground.

The surrounding guards got off their horses and helped Tuli up, and put Tuli on another horse.

Tuli continued to run wildly.

On the side of the road stands a stone tablet with the words 'Yuanqiu County' written on it.

Dusty-faced Tuli and his distraught entourage lead the horses.

Yinghefu pointed to Yuanqiu City in the distance in surprise and said: "Khan, we have reached the boundary of Datang!"

Tulize stepped forward immediately, and looked into the distance with the awning in hand.

Two lines of hot tears fell from Tuli's cheeks.

Half a month later, Tuli led more than a hundred remnants, and under the escort of the Tang army, they arrived at Chang'an City.

In the Xiande Hall, Tuli saw Li Jiancheng, he walked up to Li Jiancheng on his knees, howled and cried, and said, "Your Majesty, Jieli is not as good as a beast, even dolls are not released. However, all the people of the minister were killed by him. Jie Li said that he would unify the grasslands, and then lead 100 million cavalry to flatten the Central Plains. Your Majesty, the minister is now homeless, and please take him in. ministry public.

Li Jiancheng sat on top of the altar with a gloomy expression, without saying a word.
