Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 869 Yicheng Restoration
dawn.

At this time, Chai Shao had been a prisoner overnight, but he was lucky, at least the Xuanwu army did not massacre the prisoners like the Jieli army that broke through Dali before.

The weather in the morning is very good, bright and sunny, and the sky is clear and clear.

There was still some bloody smell in the air that had not been washed away by the morning mist, and Chai Shao was very embarrassed at this time.Still wearing the silk armor that came to the city yesterday for the banquet, this is the habit of the nobles. When attending the banquet, they will not really wear inconvenient and uncomfortable iron armor. They all have extremely exquisite silk armor made by others.

Silk armor is light and breathable, and the patterns made are very colorful, more majestic than real armor.

However, this kind of silk armor is good-looking, and does not have a real defensive function.

At this time, Chai Shao's exquisite silk armor was covered with dust and blood, and there were even a few big footprints on the buttocks.

His hair was also messed up, and the exquisite jade hairpin was probably taken away by a soldier of the Xuanwu Army as a spoil of war, and the horse lance and horizontal knife he brought with him were also confiscated.

At this time, he was completely immersed in deep self-blame and regret.

Why was he so careless? Even if he knew that Jieli had captured Dingxiang and there would be no Qin army within a few hundred miles, he should be more cautious.Still less should he leave his army outside the city and enter the city alone.

The Qin army raided last night, and most of the generals and schools were trapped in the city. I am afraid that there is no one in the barracks to command, let alone a surprise attack.

Luo Siye is worthy of the name of a fierce tiger, he is very ruthless.

He also didn't know how he captured the Italian city, and it was so disguised and hidden that he didn't find any doubts.

Soldiers are ashamed of failure.

Chai Shao, the son of a general of Guanlong, couldn't accept such a defeat.

If he loses to Luo Siye in an upright manner on the battlefield, he admits defeat.But last night's battle, the loss was too aggrieved, he had an army of [-].

He was still imprisoned in the county yamen. About a hundred of the hundreds of officers who entered the city with him died when they resisted, and the rest were surrendered later.In the middle of the night, hundreds of people were sent in from outside, and at first glance, they were all the officers who stayed behind in the barracks under Chai Shao.

It was through their mouths that Chai Shao learned what happened outside after they entered the city.

It was dawn at this time.

A group of captives were either lying crookedly or leaning against each other, all with distressed expressions on their faces.

suffocated.

depressed.

From Longyou to Dingxiang, it took three months on the road. Although he defeated Liang Shidu in Lingwu and forced Yun Dingxing to surrender in Jiuyuan, it was a small battle.

Originally, he came to Dingxiang to fight a big battle against Luo Cheng.

Unexpectedly, Luo Cheng didn't see the white tiger's face, so he let his brother Luo Siye, the fierce tiger, be wiped out first.

Chai Shao stayed up all night with gauze wrapped around his head.

This was when he persisted in resisting to the end, and was injured by a Qin army with a shield.

However, although his head was injured, he was still thinking about the impact of this defeat.

The emperor's father-in-law did not hesitate to personal reputation, and claimed allied forces with Turkic Jieli Khan, with the intention of destroying the strongest Luo Cheng in the Central Plains first, but now such a major strategic intention will be destroyed in his hands.

His defeat doesn't matter, but it will block Xieli's retreat.

Not to mention, with a sudden loss of [-] reinforcements, Xieli may face even greater pressure.

Even if Jieli could defeat the Qin army, after Li Tang's defeat this time, Yu Lian also helped him a little bit, so how could he get any benefits after defeating the Qin army in the future?

"Chai Shao, come out, King Jin wants to see you."

Chai Shao was taken to the gate tower of Dali City, where King Luo Siye of Jin stood on the tower overlooking the south.

He stood on the top of the city and looked out, but only saw the dilapidated camp outside the city.

Yesterday, [-] Tang troops came to station at the foot of the city, with a battalion of ten li, how majestic.

But after only one night, the battalion was dilapidated, and the [-] army was wiped out.

"Chai Shao, we meet again."

Siye turned around and looked at the embarrassed Chai Shao.

In comparison, the victor, Luo Siye, was full of energy, wearing iron armor and mighty.

Chai Shao and Siye are acquaintances. He used to accompany him to participate in the Eastern Expedition. He was defeated by him in the Battle of Dali, and the defeat was so miserable. He was not interested and had nothing to say.

"You are Li Yuan's son-in-law, but as long as you are willing to surrender to Daqin, my emperor will be lenient. Xuanba has always followed my emperor, and now he is named Tang Guogong and serves as the general of the forbidden army."

But Chai Shao just kept a cold face, asking him to surrender to the person with whom he has a hatred for taking his wife?impossible.

Until now, Chai Shao couldn't let go of Li Xiuning, let alone forget this humiliation.

"General Chai seems a little unconvinced?"

"You are just playing tricks."

"You are also a general's son, and you are familiar with the art of war and strategy. Why do you still say such words? Soldiers are deceitful. Soldiers are like water, and you are always eclectic. The winner is king. You only look at the results and not the process, don't you?"

It's just that these words can't convince Chai Shao, he is still a hundred times unconvinced.

"It seems that the general is unwilling to surrender?"

Chai Shao remained silent with a cold face.

Siye smiled.

"Okay, since you don't want to surrender, then I won't force you. A cow can't press its head if it doesn't drink water. How about this? I'll send you back to Chang'an, how about it?"

Chai Shao looked at Siye puzzled.

"Why, surrender and refuse to surrender, and refuse to return? Is it true that the general wants to sacrifice his life for benevolence?"

"What trick are you trying to do?"

Siye smiled, "It's nothing, Li Yuan took my wife and children away, I'll just go and rescue them."

In the second year of Qin Kaiyuan, June.

Luo Siye first broke Jieli's [-] remaining Turkic troops in Dali City in Dingxiang, and killed them all after the city was broken.Then in Dali City pretending to be a Turkic army ambushed the Tang army Chai Shao, defeated the Tang army, captured its main generals Chai Shao and Shi Danai, killed the general manager Chen Hua, Wang Changkai, etc., killed more than [-] enemies, captured nearly [-] people, and the rest collapsed.

After this battle, Luo Siye only stayed in Dali City for three days.

Three days later, he sent [-] soldiers and horses to escort [-] captives to Fanyang in the north, but he himself led the Xuanwu Army's main force of [-], and led Chai Shao, Shi Danai and other generals to the west.

Go straight to Hetao Wuyuan County.

A few days later, Jieli Khan, who had just arrived at the city of Yunzhong County, learned of the situation of the Italian army.

Hearing that once the [-] Tang army was defeated and scattered, his [-] remaining troops were also wiped out, and he was furious.

"Luo Siye ran away?"

"Even if he runs off to the horizon, Ben Khan will never let him go." Jieli ignored the dissuasion of his subordinates and insisted on sending troops to pursue Luo Siye. Chase him to the ends of the earth, and bring his head back to me!"

At this time, Princess Yicheng, who was with the army, took the opportunity to persuade Jieli Khan, "In the past, the Qimin Khan brothers fought for the country, and relied on the Sui Dynasty to restore it, and their descendants had the country. Now there are rebellions in the Central Plains, and none of them are descendants of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. They should be supported. The Yang family of the Sui Dynasty repaid the kindness of the Sui Dynasty, and the Great Khan was also famous for being able to learn from it."

"But Yang Guang's descendants were all lost in the rebellious army, and Emperor Wen has no descendants left behind." Jieli also knew that if he could help a puppet of the Sui family, and then go south under the banner of restoring the Sui Dynasty, he might encounter resistance in the future. will be less.

"I sent people to the Central Plains a few days ago and found my brother Shanjing, and just took it over. The Great Khan can make him the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, designate Dali City as his capital, let him gather the Han people, and recruit the fugitive nobles, officials, etc. , Raise the banner of the orthodox Sui family in the Central Plains again!"

At this time, after Luo Siye withdrew, there was only an empty city left in Italy.

Xie Li thought about it, if Ke Dun's brother Yang Shanjing were to be the king of the Sui Dynasty, it would be okay to set up a puppet Sui Dynasty. It also became more famous.

"Okay, let's make your brother the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, the capital of Dali City!"
