Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 846
Siye sent good news and bad news from Hetao.

The good news is that after a battle with Luo Siye, Yun Dingxing retreated to Jiuyuan County and expressed his willingness to join him. Now he is sending envoys to send a list of surrender documents, etc., in fact, he wants to get some rewards.

It doesn't matter to Luo Cheng, it is not a problem to give him a title or an official position, and it is possible to recover Jiuyuan Yulin and other places without fighting.

But there was another piece of bad news.

Jieli Khan Ashina Duo must have gone south, and all the Liang teachers in Shuofang professed their vassals to Jieli, and were granted the title of Dadu Vika Khan by Jieli.Liang Shidu actively invited Jieli to go south, willing to be his leading party.

At this time, Jieli is no longer the aggressive man who fled Mobei in a panic when Dingxiang was defeated by Luo Cheng's men a few years ago.Luo Cheng has been developing in recent years, and he is also developing.

After fleeing back to Mobei, Da Sui regained the control of Monan. The Sui Dynasty also established Shibi Khan's second brother Ashina Tulif as Chuluo Khan, who was actually a puppet of the court.

On the other hand, Luo Cheng asked Xue Yantuo to establish a state in Mobei, and granted Yi Shibo the title of Khan, and asked him to lead the Tiele people and Duobi to attack and kill in Mobei.

I have to say, in fact, Jubi still has some strength.

The Tiel tribes led by Xue Yantuo established themselves as a khanate, and fought against Jieli.On the other hand, Luo Cheng previously entrusted ten Turkic Khan princes and brothers, all of whom had been Turkic Khans in their ancestors and were considered to have the right to inherit the Khan.

The original intention was to let them carve up the Turks so that the Turks could disperse.

Who knows, they are very willing to be the Turkic establishment of the enfeoffment party, but Jieli has defeated the Tiele people forcefully in the past few years, and pulled and beat all the establishments. fight away.

Although there are still many tribes in Mobei who still oppose Xieli, Jieli has not been beaten by Luo Cheng for several years, but his strength is much stronger than when he was defeated by Luo Cheng in Dingxiang.

At that time, he was a designer, but now he calls himself Turkic Jieli Khan.

Taking advantage of the great chaos in the Central Plains, Xieli had long wanted to go south to avenge his blood feud.

Now Liang Shi is willing to be the leading party, so Jieli hastily led the army to the south.

"Xieli attacked Dingxiang in a surprise attack, Lord Luo Simo of the Shun State was defeated, and many Turkic people from Monan turned to Jieli, and now the soldiers are besieging Dingxiang City."

'Few of these Turkic wolf cubs are well-raised. "Wang Junkuo, the minister of the Ministry of War, even simply claimed that Luo Simo also secretly colluded with Jieli.

"Where is Chuluo Khan?"

Chuluo Khan fell into the hands of Jieli and was killed by him.

Although Jieli and Chuluo are blood brothers, but Qilifushi is the Turkic Khan established by Luo. With him around, Duo will always be infamous. This guy succeeded in a surprise attack and caught Chuluo who was too late to escape. Khan, so unceremoniously, simply killed him.

"It's careless. I was planning to let Chu Luo Khan come to Luoyang." Luo Cheng sighed. Li Yuan was killed by poison.

Li Yuan killed Luo Khan, the Western Turkic Chu, because he wanted the support of the Western Turkic Shekui Khan, and in exchange for him to send troops to help him, so he poisoned Luo Khan, who had been defeated and surrendered to the Sui Dynasty and had been stranded in Chang'an. killed.

Both Luo Khan died.

Now the East Turks are headed by Xieli, and the West Turks are headed by Shekui.

Shekui Khan is still in the Western Regions for the time being, and has not reached out his hand, but Jieli has already led 20 troops to the south and crossed Yinshan Mountain to raid Dingxiang.

"General Siye has led his army back to aid Dingxiang." The messenger said again.

"I ordered Liu Wuzhou to lead the army of Yanmen in Mayi to go north to reinforce Dingxiang!"

Luo Simo has more than 2 people, Luo Siye has more than 2 people, and Mayi Yanmen has 5 to [-] people. Together, there can be an army of [-], which is enough to fight a defensive counterattack.

"As for Yun Dingxing of Jiuyuan, I will grant him the title of Founding Marquis of Lantian County, and give him the title of Imperial Servant."

Regarding the former defeated general Jieli, Luo Cheng did not show any panic. At the beginning of Bi Khan's 40 southward invasion, they were all defeated and killed by his men. Now there is only one defeated general under his command, Jieli, what is there to worry about?
He didn't even use the soldiers and horses south of Yanmen Pass, let alone the soldiers and horses in Henan and outside the pass.

In his opinion, Turkic Jieli Khan's offenders are just like the gang of Goguryeo remnants on the Korean peninsula. They are just ringworm in the hands and feet, not a serious problem, and they can't threaten him.

However, Xieli invaded at this time, but it still disrupted some of Luo Cheng's deployment plans.

Originally, the plan was to wait until the east of Henan Province was settled down and the weather cool down in autumn, then they would attack Guanzhong several times, and kill Li Yuanxian, who was injured in one fell swoop, before going back to chew on Dou Jiande.

But now the army outside the pass is besieging and suppressing the remnants of Goguryeo on the Korean peninsula, and they have to beware of Baekje and Silla.

At this time, Jieli invaded south, and Luo Siye and Liu Wuzhou's army went to fight, so the defense force against Dou Jiande in Hebei was inevitably insufficient.

"Eight thousand are stationed at Wuguan, eight thousand are stationed at Hongnong, and eight thousand are stationed at Puban. The remaining soldiers and horses will be disarmed and returned home first."

Since the strategy cannot be decided for the time being, there is no need to continue stationing these three large armies on the border of Guanzhong. Disbanding most of the soldiers and horses will save a lot of food and grass supply. This can greatly reduce the current situation in the Central Plains. burden.

Not to mention, after disbanding most of the soldiers and horses, these government soldiers returned to the original military residence. Even if they were not on duty in the government, farming at home is also a force that is on call, and can still enrich the people in all parts of the Central Plains. Defense can play a defensive role against Dou Jiande in Hebei, Xiao Xian in Jianghan, and Lin Shihong in Jiangnan.

"Send another envoy to Guanzhong and tell Li Yuan that I will give him one last chance."

"Send an envoy to Dou Jiande again. Remembering the past, I hope he can adapt to the current situation and lead his troops to donate land to him. If he comes to vote, I will grant him the title of Marquis of Changle, and he will not lose his position as a minister."

Wang Junkuo and many other generals shouted that it was unnecessary at all, just fight directly.

All of them directly asked for a battle, saying that if they gave themselves an army, they would be able to conquer Chang'an and capture Li Yuan alive.The one said that if you give him an army, he can wipe out all the generals in Hebei and bring Dou Jiande's head to see him.

But Luo Cheng was not confused by their words.

Although the Qin army was unstoppable all the way, but in just a few years, the speed of expansion was too fast.

Last year, Huainan, Shandong, and half of Hebei were just swallowed up. This year, he took over Hedong and Henan. The new expansion of such a large territory is still a place that was destroyed by the war, and it must have time to stabilize.

Not to mention, fighting in several directions, the strength of the Qin army can still be maintained, but it is already a bit dangerous, and it is easy for others to take advantage of it. Not to mention, the most important thing in fighting is the supply of food and grass.

Now that a large number of hungry people in Hedong and Henan are still waiting for food relief, how can Luo Cheng spare no effort to mobilize food to go west to Guanzhong to support a big battle in Guanzhong.

It's better to be a little more stable. After the wave slows down, at least after the autumn harvest, when the east of Henan no longer needs to transport grain from the rear to rescue the people, then they will have the energy to fight Li Yuan.

"Your Majesty, good news. Yang Shilin and Tian Zan led the four counties in Eastern Han to join us in Daqin. Originally, Changsha Dong Jingzhen also came to vote, but was defeated by Zhang Xiu sent by Xiao Xian."

"Your Majesty, south of the Han River and north of Changhan, there are only half of Nanjun and one Xiangyang County in Jiangbei. Congratulations, Your Majesty."

All officials congratulated.

In the Han River Basin, there is only one Hanchuan County and one Xiangyang County left before the Qin Dynasty. After the Yangtze River leaves Baling Kuimen, only half of Nanjun and one Xiangyang are left in the hands of Xiao Xian on the north bank, and the rest flow eastward. As far as the sea is concerned, all the northern shores belong to Qin.
