Ji Tang

Chapter 1222 The North of Heaven
Boom boom~
Suddenly, the ground began to tremble. When I looked up, I saw a blood-red flag appearing in front of everyone: Duke Xi of the Tang Dynasty, General of the Conquest of the West, Ji! ——
"Let's meet the general!"

Ji Song opened the car curtain, looked at the people, and said with a smile: "Everyone, get up!"

"promise!"

After Chai Shao stood up, he said: "Last night."

Ji Song waved his hand and said: "Last night our army went out of the city and burned the catapults to lure the enemy under the city. We fired all the ballistae and won a great victory!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then said with great joy: "The general is mighty!"

"Okay, don't worry about it!"

Yes, this is awesome!
Ji Song didn't care about the billions of harm his Feng Qingyun Dan caused to everyone, but said: "I won't enter the city. Seld has already gone north. Gao Kan can't support himself alone. I can go north to Broken Leaf." .”

"Ji Qing!"

"Ji Qing is here!"

Ji Song nodded and said: "You follow me north, and leave the rest to Mr. Tang. You handle it as soon as possible. I can only wait for you here for one night."

Ji Qing was overjoyed when he heard this and said directly: "No need, Duke Tang already knows everything. You just need to explain a few words and I can accompany you at any time!"

Tang Jian:.
"Well, in that case, let's return to the team!"

"promise!"

The boy was not polite and said a few words to Tang Jian directly, then came to the shaft of the carriage. Da Niu Duo winked, and without saying a word, he took out a pair of armor from the carriage and put it on Ji Qing.

This armor actually belongs to him, but he can't wear it now, so he just pretends he doesn't see it.

"Uncle, Bagua City will be handed over to you. At this time, Duke Zhai Yang is seriously injured, and Duke Lu is in charge of Ximen Pass. You must ensure the supply in the rear, and don't be careless!"

Chai Shao said solemnly: "General, don't worry!"

Finally, he looked at Tang Jian and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Tang!"

"Hmph, none of you masters and disciples are good, yet you only know how to bully me, an old man, and not behave like a son of a human being!"

How thick-skinned is Ji Song?Just pretend that you didn't hear it, and don't even look at the other person's face.

"Okay, let's have a rest tonight and set off tomorrow!"

He did not go into the city, but camped outside the city. After listening to what happened during this period and handling some documents that were inconvenient for them to handle, he sent them back directly.

The next day, before dawn, Ji Song began to assemble his army and set off. When Chai Shao and others came out to say goodbye, they could only see the backs of the army!

"Oh, I hope he can come back safely!"

Broken leaf chuan is also called plain leaf water, broken leaf water, and fine leaf water.The Broken Leaf Formation is built next to the water.

This place is rich in water, grass, and water, making it a rare place to recuperate and recuperate in the border areas of the Western Region.But since the Western Turks occupied this place, it has become somewhat declining.

The original meaning of "Zuiye City" is "Little Leaf City", and "Zui" in Guanzhong dialect means "trivial".So "broken leaves" are not broken leaves, but small and trivial leaves.Therefore, the original meaning of "Broken Leaf City" in Chang'an dialect is "Little Leaf City".

Tianshan Ancient Road.

The Tianshan Ancient Road is a shortcut connecting the grasslands of the Western Regions and the northwest desert of the Tang Dynasty. It is also the most steep ancient mountain road.

As early as the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzang traveled westward to seek Buddhist scriptures. He set out from the ancient city of Aksu in the Taklimakan Desert and crossed the Lingshan Mountains to Lake Issyk-Kul. He took this "dangerous road that is difficult to survive".Envoys, businessmen, monks and troops from past dynasties in China have followed this ancient road westward in batches along the canyon at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains to the Chu River Basin and other countries in the Western Regions.

However, at this time, the Tianshan Ancient Road was no longer what it used to be. As early as three years ago, when he was serving as the Grand Scholar of Wuyingge, he ordered the Anxi Protectorate and the Anxi Changshi Mansion to repair this road.

He's much better now. This is the path he took this time, otherwise he doesn't know how far he would have to go!
The Suiye River is four hundred miles long, with towering peaks on both sides. Due to the extremely high altitude, snow has accumulated on the mountain tops all year round, and countless years of snow water erosion has formed a river valley here with high sides and low middle.

The widest point is only 180 miles, and it is the main traffic artery between the east and west.

With the desert to the north and the towering Tianshan Mountains to the south, this place has become an important channel for east-west trade. This is also the reason why Suiye Town was established. By controlling this place, you can resist the prying eyes of the West at a very low cost.

On Suiye City, General Gao Kan, the commander of the right-hand guard, jumped up to look far away.

He was extremely depressed and thought he could come here to fight with fists and kicks.But who would have expected that more than half a year has passed, and the cannibals of Henglus have no intention of sending troops at all.

Xue Li went on a killing spree in the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu, but even this was suppressed by the cannibals.The general said that this would be the place for the final decisive battle, but now, he was a little shaken.

He heard that the Great Eaters stormed Ximen Pass, and even heard that they had a catapult, which almost made him faint.who is it?Who gave the recipe for the construction of the Great Man-eating Catapult?
When he heard the news, he had some thoughts of giving up and not returning to Chang'an. Damn it, I am fighting the enemy here, but these bastards are delivering Tang's siege weapons to the cannibals in the back.

He wished he could lead his troops back and kill these bastards. In the end, if the eldest princess hadn't sent a letter to persuade them, saying that she would definitely give them an explanation, he would have stopped wanting to do it.

Later, the general also wrote a letter, asking him to fight with peace of mind and not to worry about anything else. Ji Song is not dead yet.

But his heart felt bad. He came back as Xue Li, but he went out in the morning. He knew what he was going for. During this time, he destroyed all the nine surnames of Zhaowu and the Three Kingdoms.

But, when did this end!
He was originally a descendant of the Bohai Gao family. Compared with the previous dynasty, the Gao family was already in the sunset at this time. There was no one in his court, and he relied on his bravery to gain a foothold in the Tang Dynasty.He went through many hardships in these years before he became a general of the Tang Dynasty.

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, after the Tang army defeated the Jieli Khan of the Eastern Turks, the rest of the people wanted to support the young Khan Ashina Chebi as the Great Khan.

At that time, the nomadic Xueyantuo tribe in the north of the Turks was very powerful, and Chebi did not dare to compete with it, so he led his ministers to belong to it.

Chebi was "a man of bravery, strategy, and quite popular among the people", so he was not tolerated by Xue Yantuo, who wanted to kill him and annex his people.

After Chebi got the news, he took the opportunity to escape because he was afraid of being killed.Xue Yantuo sent thousands of cavalry to pursue him. Chebi led his troops to fight and defeated the pursuers, so he built a tent in the north of Jinshan Mountain and called himself Yizhu Chebi Khan.

After that, the remaining Turks gradually surrendered, and within a few years there were 3 soldiers.The land where Chebi is located is thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty, and Geluolu in the west and Jiegu in the north have formed alliances with it.At the same time, he continued to plunder Xue Yantuo and won many victories, so his power gradually became stronger.

This was his first battle and the battle that made him famous, and he has been stationed on the northwest grasslands ever since.

In November of the 21st year of Zhenguan, Chebi sent his son Shaboluotele to the court to contribute gifts, and declared that he would also join the court in person.After Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty heard the news, he immediately sent Yunhui General An Tiaozhe and Youtun Weilang General Han Hua to greet him, but Che Noi had no intention of entering the court.

In order to complete the mission, General Han Hua and Ge Luolu of Youtun Weilang decided to rob the nose of the car and take it to Chang'an.But the matter was discovered by Chebi, and An Tiaozhe and Han Hua were both killed.

His Majesty was furious after hearing the news. In order to strengthen his control over the Turks in the north, he decided to send troops to conquer Chebi.

In the first month of the 23rd year of Zhenguan, His Majesty made him the commander-in-chief of the Tang Army and led Huihe, Pugu and other troops to attack Chebi.

After he led his army into his territory, various Turkic tribes betrayed Chebi one after another and surrendered one after another.In October, the Tang Dynasty established relics and other five prefectures in the Turkic homeland, which were subordinate to the Yunzhong Dudufu; Sunong and other six prefectures were subordinate to the Dingxiang Dudufu.

Looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, he hesitated, couldn't he just keep waiting?

With more than [-] troops under his command, he felt that his task was important, but could he just do it like this?

At this time, he did not know that the commander-in-chief of Dashi, Said, had gone north at this time, and the situation he had to face was much more dangerous than Cheng Yaojin and others at Ximen Pass.

At least Cheng Yaojin still has a great pass like Ximen Pass to rely on, but what about him?A small town in Broken Leaf Town will directly face the attack of the big cannibal.

Constant Ross.

Henglus City is the northern fortress of the Stone Kingdom. There are not many residents in the city. There are only a few hundred households with more than 2000 people, and there are nearly a hundred Han slaves. This castle has always been an important military base of the Stone Kingdom, with about a thousand troops stationed in it. The city walls are well built. Strong and thick.

But at this time, things were no longer what they used to be. The city was expanded, the garrison increased, and a hundred thousand cavalrymen were stationed not far away.

Suddenly, half a month has passed. Seld reached Henros first, and no news came out.Then he walked lightly and simply to visit both sides of the Yaosha River to survey the terrain and the military situation of the Tang Dynasty.

Xue Li, who had originally launched a revenge campaign against the nine surnames of Zhaowu, only felt that the battle was becoming more and more difficult to fight. Many times when they arrived, the enemy had already disappeared.Only a few old, weak, women and children were left behind. Even if he was extremely conscience-stricken, he would not be able to do anything to these people.

That's right, when Said learned about this, he directly took over the military power of the Nine Surnames of Zhaowu. Not only did he lure the enemy deeper, he also planned to eat this large army.

News of Ximen Pass spread, which made them want to kill Amuwiye and Amul.What makes him even more regretful is that Ogbai, whom he admired so much, died on the broken back of Wei Amuweiya.

He was pierced through the heart by thousands of enemy arrows and died. It was a heroic death, but it was not worth it!

But anger is anger. Now that things have happened, it will be useless no matter how angry he is.Fortunately, there was no total collapse, otherwise he would have been in danger.

Amul did a good job this time. When Amuwiye was in crisis, he didn't rush to the rescue as soon as his head got hot.Instead, after rescuing a large number of craftsmen and holding on to the camp, Amuwiye's failure did not have too much impact.

Although the losses were heavy, no bones or muscles were injured, which can be considered a blessing in misfortune.

As the saying goes, it is disrespectful to come back but not to reciprocate. It is not his character to have a grudge and not protect him. It just so happened that Xue Li's army felt like they were behind the enemy's back. The nine surnames of Zhaowu were so angry that they were turned upside down, so it was just the right time to take advantage of him.

However, just when he was about to close the net, the Tang army, which was aggressively attacking at the border of Shi Kingdom, suddenly retreated.Not only did they retreat, they retreated so completely that not only for a day, not even the shadow of the Tang army was visible.

Looking at the dejected generals under his command, he laid a dragnet and waited for him to get into the sack. Then he was confident that he would have no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth.

But he ran away. He ran away~
"Trash, a bunch of trash, why don't you die? This will make Tang Jun run away, so what's the use of you? Huh?"

Selder was furious, but it didn't help. He just ran away. They had spent a lot of effort before, even giving up a lot of areas to induce the Tang army, but they waited for such an ending?

It's like the new daughter-in-law is about to enter the house, and the groom is happily accepting congratulations from everyone, but at this moment the bride suddenly runs away and follows the wild man. What does the groom think?
I'm afraid that I have the intention to kill!
At the northwest exit of the ancient Tianshang Road, Xue Li dismounted and stood on a boulder, looking forward eagerly, with an anxious look on his face, as if he was waiting for someone important.

"Senior Brother Xue, when do you think Mr. Xue will arrive? It's been almost three days."

Wu Liu'er said a little depressed, no one can bear to wait for three days.

"Hey, why are you so anxious? It will happen sooner or later. I guess it's just today. Be patient. If the teacher sees you like this, he won't know how to teach you."

Xue Li spoke in a grand manner, not at all like his appearance just now, even worse than Wu Liu'er.

Wu Liu'er was taught by Ji Song for a period of time more than ten years ago. He has no relatives and no reason. A few years ago, the old lady took the decision and found a girl from a branch of the Ji family. Now he has settled down in Haowei County.

He was accompanied by more than a dozen brothers who had the same experience, but the battlefield was ruthless, and only seven or eight of them were alive now.

But this life is worth it. Even the most incompetent person finally achieved the position of a seventh-grade military attache. There is no shortage of land at home. Even if he leaves, he will be subsidized by the heaven and help his living brothers, and his life is not bad.

Later, some of them went to the navy, and some stayed on duty in the [-]th Guards in the capital. After resigning from his position in the capital, he was transferred to the Anxi Protectorate. After many years of fighting and being born like this countless times, he is now considered the number one figure in Anxi. .

But it is a pity that he has not seen Mr. Anxi since he entered it.I have wanted to visit him many times, but I have always been troubled by various things.I was either transferred to the west or asked to go to the east. Anyway, I was running around without stopping!
Because of his bravery in battle this time, he was transferred to the command of Xue Li, the fourth disciple of Mr. Xue.Now that’s good, I think I’ll have more opportunities to see my husband now, right?

But he thought wrong. Before he could recover, Xue Li led him to attack everywhere, beating the nine surnames of Zhaowu until they cried for father and mother.Just when he thought he would not see his husband until May of the following year, he was told that his husband had come to Suiye City and ordered them to retreat immediately and rendezvous here.

But waiting and waiting, I have been waiting for three days, and I haven’t even seen anyone. What does this mean?

"Forget it, I'd better go get some sleep. If you have any news about your husband, tell me immediately. Don't forget it!"

With this level of care, the two of them are no longer so pretentious. With their friendship on the battlefield, they are very familiar with each other!
"Okay, okay, I get it, where's all this nonsense, go to sleep now, annoying!"

I waved my hand impatiently and told him to get out quickly, so as not to be upset!

Ten miles away from the exit of the ancient road, Ji Song took a look at the sky and urged: "Speed ​​up the march and get out before dark!"

"promise!"
