Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 861

end of May.

Luo Chengyu drove the Northern Expedition in person, took the crown prince to sit in Luoyang to supervise the country, and took Luo Cunxiao, king of Wei, as the commander of the camp capital of the Central Plains and the commander of Shandong Daozuo. Shi, the commander of the battalion and the commander of the left governor of Henan Road, guarded Wuguan.

Du Fuwei, the Duke of Wu, was the commander of the marching army and the commander of the left governor of Huainan Road, guarding Jiangdu.

The emperor led his army to the north.

early june.

Luo Cheng went to Taiyuan in Hedong and entered Jinyang Palace.

"Your Majesty, the envoy of Turkic Jieli Khan is asking to see you." The guard reported.

Luo Cheng took off his cloak, picked up a towel and began to wipe his sweat. In the scorching summer, all the way north, the heat was terribly hot. Many soldiers suffered from heat stroke on the way, and many soldiers vomited and vomited. They fell behind a lot.

"Little Jieli has been unable to attack Dingxiang for a long time, are you here to beg me for mercy?" Luo Cheng said with a smile.

He came in a hurry all the way, but luckily the situation was not bad.

Generals Qu Tutong, Qin Qiong, and Yu Chigong were the forwards. They first gathered tens of thousands of soldiers in Taiyuan, and then went out of the building to attack Yanmen.

Liu Wuzhou was forced to defend with all his strength. The two sides fought for many days in the scorching heat, and each lost a lot of troops. Although Qu Tutong failed to recover the three counties, he forced Liu Wuzhou to retreat to the north of Xinkou and gave up half of Loufan. County, but also dragged down his main force.

But Zhao Gui attacked Shanggu Gao and cleared the way, and the success was repeated.

Gao Kaidao suffered repeated defeats, and even Dou Jiande personally rescued him, but he couldn't stand it, so Gao Kaidao led the defeated soldiers to cross Taihang and go to Gao Tancheng.Gao Tancheng made Gao Kaidao the king of Qi in his Mahayana Buddhist kingdom, and became brothers with him, and made him a marshal.

Zhao Gui regained most of Shanggu, and Dou Jiande took the opportunity to seize several cities in Shanggu, but he still failed to prevent Zhao Gui from opening up the passages with Boling and Hengshan counties, as well as Taiyuan in the east of the river.

Feng Xiaoci, who had suffered badly under the hands of the bandit army before, finally got the support of the reinforcements sent by Zhao Gui.

Feng Xiaoci gritted his teeth and led the army to launch a counterattack. Song Jingang was caught off guard, and finally he was ashamed and captured several cities in Zhaojun.

Liu Wuzhou was very kind to Song Jingang who came to vote, and directly named him King Song, and married one of his younger sisters to him, and at the same time gave him half of his family wealth as a reward.

It is said that when Feng Xiaoci heard that Song Jingang had escaped and became Liu Wuzhou's brother-in-law, he couldn't help asking the left and right, "How many younger sisters does Liu Wuzhou have?"

Yuan Junzhang and Gao Manzheng are both his brother-in-laws, and now Song Jingang is also his brother-in-law.

"Damn, after the invasion of Mayi, the whole army will send Liu Wuzhou's younger sister to be a concubine!"

After Song Jingang was defeated, Feng Xiaoci took advantage of the victory to march into Xiangguo, and Zhen Dier couldn't stand Feng Xiaoci's battle of revenge and shame like he had beaten chicken blood, but Xia Jun, who originally supported Zhen Dier, was ordered by Dou Jiande Go back to Fangji County and Yuanyuan County to defend Luo Cunxiao.

So Zhen Zhai'er, who had no backing, fought and failed repeatedly, and finally Xiangguo couldn't hold it at all, so he simply retreated into Dou Jiande's territory with thousands of remnants, and went directly to Dou Jiande.

This succession of good news put the emperor in a good mood now, and he was not upset by the hot weather.

"The generals under the command of the Great Turkic Khan are desperate to pay respects to the Emperor of Qin!"

The Turkic envoy who came in was tall and burly, with his hair straightened, wearing silk clothes, with a big gold ring hanging on his ear, and even a big gold arm ring on each arm.

Standing in front of the emperor, he just bent down slightly, with no respect in his tone.

"He must have sent someone, but he came here to ask for surrender?" Luo Cheng asked directly.

Zhi Shi Si Li is the leader of the Turkic Zhi Shi Department, he is young and strong, and he is also the confidant of Jieli Khan.He didn't expect the emperor to say such a thing, he was stunned and said, "My Khan led hundreds of thousands of cavalry to surround Luo Siye and Simo traitors to death, and their demise is only a matter of time."

"There are also Dingyang Khan Li Yuan who sent Chai Shao [-] troops, Pingyang Emperor Dou Jiande sent [-] troops Liu Heita, and the southern Khan Liu Wuzhou [-] troops. Once Luo Siye and Simo are surrounded and wiped out, the army will go south to Taiyuan, and Taiyuan will be crushed by then, and you, Emperor Qin, will also become prisoners of our Turkic class."

"Hahaha."

Luo Cheng laughed a few times, how many big scenes he Luo Cheng has experienced, how can it be intimidating.

"I have lost my mind, I don't think you are stupid, why are you talking nonsense? Why are there hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry, only 20 when they came, how many are there now? The weather in the south of Yinshan is hot, this season It’s not easy to stay, right? You can still wear silk gauze clothes to cool off, but most of you Turkic herdsmen come here in sheepskin robes, at this time, it should be too hot to sleep at night, right?”

He loudly reprimanded Zhi for losing his mind.

"Don't brag about those who ordered Yang Khan to flatten Yang Khan and Nanmian Khan. These people are just shameful traitors of the Han family who defected to the Turks. And don't brag about this one who sent [-] troops and that one who sent [-] troops. They are now I can't take care of myself, Gao Kaidao has already been defeated by my Qin general Zhao Gui, lost Shanggu and fled to Beixun."

"Song Jingang and Zhen Zhaier were also defeated, losing Zhaojun and Xiangguo. And Dou Jiande in Hebei is not much better. Now Hejian, Jijun, Pingyuan, and Bohai counties are all on fire. We Qin Jun is attacking everywhere, and he is exhausted."

"I lost my mind. At that time, Shibi Khan led hundreds of thousands of cavalry to invade the south. In the end, he was beaten to ashes by me in Mayi. Don't you know that Shibi Khan died under my horses? ?”

"There is also Jieli Khan Duobi, who is my defeated general. Now he dares to come south again? Since he dares to give away his head, then I will grant him. Last time he was let go, this time he just happened to catch him all." .”

"Come here, first lock up this obsessed mind, and after we capture Jieli, we will behead and sacrifice to the Taimiao together!"

Zhi lost his mind and didn't expect Luo Cheng to lock him up.

"I am the envoy of Jieli Khan, the envoy of the two countries will not kill each other!"

"You are a fart messenger, tie up and push down."

"Your Majesty Li Junxian pays homage to His Majesty."

Li Junxian, the captain of the pro-army, came here under the imperial edict.

"How's the situation on the front line?" Luo Cheng asked.Although Li Junxian is in Taiyuan, and there is a steady stream of intelligence summarized and analyzed every day and sent back to the rear, some situations are still not detailed enough.

"Your Majesty, the weather is hot, and the Turkic army can't stand the scorching heat, so the army besieging Dingxiang couldn't attack the city, so they had to stay in the riverside valley outside Dingxiang city. Although Dingxiang city was besieged, the situation is fine."

"Where is Siye?"

"General Siye stationed in the north of the Turkic Army, set up a company battalion in Baidao, and guarded the Baidao Mountain Pass. So they simply ignored General Siye and just sent troops to besiege Dingxiang City, but the Turkic soldiers couldn't bear the heat and were unable to attack."

Luo Cheng nodded again and again.

The nomadic tribes in the north usually send troops to the south, and the season they choose is mostly in autumn, when the horses are tall and fat, and the Central Plains happens to be the harvest season, which is a good time for robbery.

In spring, horses are thin, and in winter, the north is cold, so it is not a good season to send troops. As for summer, it is not the season to send troops to the south, because the weather is hot and difficult to march, and in summer, the Central Plains is rainy, the roads are difficult, and the river is soaring, which is very unfavorable for cavalry to march. fight.

But this time when Xieli went south, he also saw Luo Cheng's victories in the Central Plains, and he was about to sweep the world and unify the Central Plains, so he couldn't help but go south. I thought that Li Yuan, Dou Jiande, Liu Wuzhou and others would return. Disadvantages are not a problem either.

Who expected Luo Siye and Simo to be so tenacious.

Now Jieli sees Luo Cheng's imperial driving to go to the Northern Expedition, and the Hebei Qin Army's counterattack is sharp, so he can't help but feel worried, so he wants to send Zhishenli to scare Luo Cheng, so as to force Luo Cheng to make peace, who would have expected, Since Luo Cheng is here, he has no intention of making peace.
