Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 867
Twenty miles away from Dali City.

Tang Jun Chai Shao's forward encountered a group of Turkic Qingqi galloping.

"Jieli Khan has entered the Great Wall first and headed towards the clouds. He left his soldiers and horses in Dali City to prepare supplies such as food and grass for the general. I hope that the general will go south to join the army as soon as possible after the supply."

The news was reported back to Chai Shao of the Chinese Army.

"Jieli Khan has already entered the customs? It's really fast." Chai Shao was taken aback, "Fortunately, he left us supplies, sent an order, and speeded up. We will enter the city of Dali tonight to spend the night. Tell the brothers, Dali has Grain supply, you can have a full meal today."

The original plan was that the Tang army should have arrived in Dingxiang half a month ago, but because of a delay in Jiuyuan for a few days and a detour due to floods halfway, Chai Shaojun arrived half a month late.

This also caused Chai Shao's army to run out of food and grass, and the rationing has been controlled on the road, and many Tang troops are hungry.As soon as they heard that there was a supply of food and grass ahead, and they could have a full meal, they all immediately became energetic.

General Wang Changkai said, "We have wasted too much time, Jieli has already entered the Great Wall."

Another general, Sun Hua, said, "Even if Jieli takes Taiyuan, it doesn't matter, we can save a few casualties."

Chai Shao also thought the same way, but after all, the ultimate goal of sending troops this time is to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and the coalition forces should destroy Qin first, so it is still necessary to establish a good relationship with Jieli.

"Hurry up and march."

at dusk.

The whole army of Chai Shao finally arrived outside the city of Dali in a hurry. From a distance, the Tang army saw the tall Beijing temples with heads outside the city.

"It's all the heads of Jingguan, which were built in Xinbai not long ago, and if you look carefully, all the heads are Han people."

Hearing the report, Chai Shao frowned.

"The Hulu were really cruel. After breaking through Italy, they actually slaughtered the city. After the slaughter, they built a Beijing temple to show off."

Hu Jiang Shi Danai stood there in embarrassment. He was also a Turkic, but he was not an Eastern Turkic but a Western Turkic.He used to be a general under Luo Khan of the Western Turkic Chu, and later Chu Luo was defeated and surrendered to the Sui Dynasty. He escorted him.

Later Li Yuan raised his troops into Guanzhong, and Shi Danai in Chang'an also joined the Tang army.

"Sooner or later, my Great Tang will exterminate such brutal captives." Chai Shao said, but on the other hand, after seeing these Jingguan, he also thought that Jieli was powerful at this time, so he didn't doubt the authenticity of the Turkic people in Dali City. fake.

Several Turkic knights galloped out of the city, saying that Dali City was small and had just experienced a siege battle. The city was dilapidated and could not hold the entire Tang army, so they asked Chai Shao to station the army outside the city and only led the officers into the city to rest.

While talking, a convoy came out of Dali City, full of food, and even some wine and meat.

Chai Shao and the others had no objection to this, but were very satisfied.

At the moment, let the generals set up their own camps and share the food.

He took the generals into the city to thank the Turks.

Grain trucks enter the camp.

A group of Tang troops surrounded them.

Someone rushed forward without waiting, lifted the cover cloth on it, and couldn't help laughing when he saw the bags of grain, "Hahaha, grain, grain, come and see, it's all millet." , It smells really sweet, it must be the new crop just harvested this summer."

Someone shouted again, "What is Su Gu? I have mutton here. Fresh mutton just slaughtered. Look at how bright red this meat is."

"I have wine here, wow, it smells so good, I can't help but drool."

Some officers came over and pushed aside these excited Tang soldiers, "Don't rob, all retreat to one side, the officers of each battalion come over to share food, wine and meat, those who should chop firewood go to chop firewood, those who should fetch water go fetch water, Those who should drink the horses should drink the horses, and remember to dig a latrine for every two teams, and it must be dug in the downwind."

The officer issued orders in an orderly manner. Looking at the messy soldiers, he couldn't help shaking his head.

The soldiers of the Guanlong Mansion, which once dominated the world, were almost worn out in the chaotic wars at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Most of the [-] troops that went north this time were recruited from the Longyou area, and most of them were from the original Western Qin Dynasty. military.And the vast majority of the Western Qin Army were Qiang tribesmen from Longyou, as well as many bandits and bandits from Longyou who rebelled at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Although these people put on military robes and took up weapons, they had neither military discipline nor combat power to speak of.

All the way from Longyou to Dingxiang outside the Great Wall, marching on the road for several months, many people even fled in the middle, so I had to force them to replenish a lot along the way.

If it weren't for Chai Shao, Shi Danai, etc., who can be regarded as having some skills, this large army would not be able to reach here at all.

The [-] Tang troops set up a ten-mile company camp around Dali City.

Tang Jun was very relaxed and set up camp very casually, with tents set up in a mess, without fences, trenches, and even watchtowers were not erected.

The camp is bustling and noisy, everyone is eagerly looking forward to the distribution of food, wine and meat, so how can they have any intention to rectify it.

Anyway, in their minds, since Xieli had already wiped out the Dingxiang Qin army and slaughtered Dali and Tucheng, there would not be a single enemy army within hundreds of miles.

In this way, there is naturally no reason to be more vigilant.

Everyone is waiting for a full meal, they are just looking at how much food, how much wine and meat they can get.

With 8 horses, each team was given a stone of millet, ten catties of meat, and a bucket of wine.

The quantity wasn't too much, but it was tempting enough for Tang Jun who had been half-starved for many days.As soon as the food was received, the teams immediately got busy.

There are some people who are responsible for pounding the husks of millet. These millets are all husks. After pounding the husks of millet, there are about seven buckets left. On average, one person is a little more than one liter of corn, but it is enough for a full meal.

"Only ten catties of meat."

"This meat is not too good, and it has bones and internal organs."

"It's fine to eat some, but you still complain. Damn it, ten catties of meat is also meat. Bring water and stew it in a pot. When the bones, meat and intestines are all stewed, it will all be in the soup. Everyone can be delicious." The team leader said loudly.

So everyone went to collect firewood and grass, those who carried water carried water, those who dug stoves dig stoves, and those who pounded rice were very busy.

sunset.

The scene of joy under the city of Dali is like having a picnic and camping.

Siye stood on the top of the city, watching the ten-mile company camp outside the city, "Has Chai Shao entered the city yet?"

"Chai Shao has brought hundreds of officers and personal guards into the city. According to King Jin's order, I have arranged them in the backyard of the original county government, and prepared enough wine and meat for them. Now they can't wait to start doing it themselves. Barbecue."

"very good."

"Prince Jin, Chai Shao urged you again and again, saying that he would thank you in person."

Siye sneered, "He wants to thank the Turkic people."

Everything is ready, just wait until dark.
