Zhuangda Tang Juvenile Lang

Chapter 378
When the organization of Datang was actively preparing for the war, another bloody storm broke out on the grassland.

Tuli Khan used his subordinates' fear of Xieli and Xieli's bad behavior to explain things. He succeeded in persuading a group of subordinates with different moods, and once again unified their strategic thinking. The cavalry was divided into the forward, the rear, and the left and right wings, escorting more than [-] herdsmen and endless cattle, sheep, and horses to retreat toward Shuofang.In order to survive, some herdsmen also took up weapons and bows and arrows, hoping to have the power to protect themselves in the event of a war.

Naturally, the large-scale migration of Tuli could not be concealed from Xieli's meticulous work.

They reported it to Xieli immediately.

When Jieli heard this news, he was naturally furious. Tuli was already in his pocket, and those countless livestock had already been regarded as his private property, so Tuli surrendered to Tang Dynasty.Moving the tribe's cattle, sheep, army and horses into the territory of the Tang Dynasty together, and being controlled by the Tang Dynasty, this behavior is no different from cutting the flesh of Ta Jieli and releasing the blood of Ta Jieli.

If it wasn't for Xue Yantuo's barbarians sticking like a dog's skin plaster, he would have wiped out Tuli long ago and received all of Tuli's property, so why wait until today?

In a fit of rage, Xieli could only vent his anger on Xue Yantuo... But today's Turks are not the Turks of the past, and they can look down on the grassland.

Xue Yantuo is also a resident ethnic group in the grassland. It is one of the Tiele tribes formed by the merger of the Xue and Yantuo tribes.The Tiele nation is somewhat bleak. In terms of combat effectiveness, the Tiele nation is recognized as brave and good at fighting, and it is no exaggeration to call it the best grassland.But for hundreds of years, the Tiele nation has not produced a leader like the Huns Modu Chanyu and the Turkic Ashina Tumen.

The leader is one person, but he has the power to turn clouds and rain, supporting a dynasty and an era.

Mao Dun raised the Xiongnu and pushed the Xiongnu to the peak. Those as strong as the Han had no choice but to make peace with them. It was not until Emperor Wu of the Han came out that the face of the Han was saved.The same is true for Ashina Tumen. The Turks were not strong at first. They were nomadic in the Altai Mountains and belonged to a small tribe in Rouran. However, Ashina Tumen relied on their own strategy to establish the Turkic Khanate and defeated Rouran. However, he became the new owner of the Mongolian Plateau.

Humans are gregarious creatures, but for all gregarious creatures, the leader is extremely important.If the leader is a lion or a tiger, the subordinates are a group of sheep as long as they wear wolf skins, they are like a group of hungry wolves. If the leader is a sheep, even if the subordinates are a group of ligers, they are still like sheep.

Even if Tiele encountered such a situation, the bravery of the Tiele people is well known.No matter who is in charge of the grassland, their first thing is to treat Tiele well and recruit Tetel warriors to serve under their command.Nearly half of the strongest Turkic elite Tuojie are Tiele people.They are as brave as the Tiele people, but they have never become the lord of the grassland once, because they lack a leader, a figure who can lead them to rise.

The appearance of Xue Yantuo's barbarian made the Tiele people see the backbone.In addition to being brave and good at fighting, Yi Nan is also benevolent and magnanimous, treats money like dung, and loves his tribe. Although he is young, Xue Yantuo is loyal to him.

Yi Nan held up the flag of righteousness to rebel against Jieli, followed by the Tiele tribes such as Huihe and Bayegu, their strength has long been different from what it used to be.

Relying on the advantage of numbers, Jieli beat back the powerful Tiele army led by Yi Nan to the north of the desert, but when he intended to go deep into the north of the desert to attack Xue Yantuo, he was met with fierce counterattacks from the tribes of Tiele.

Unable to bear the casualties, Xieli withdrew his troops in desperation.

Now, Xieli is faced with a difficult choice, either continue to fight with Xue Yantuo in the north of the desert, and then watch Tuli go to Datang to help Datang become stronger.Or, let Xue Yantuo go temporarily, wipe out Tuli in a flash, seize the supplies, and then avoid the Tang Dynasty's sharp edge, and put down Xue Yantuo who has grown in prestige.

After the war, Xieli no longer had the strength to fight on two fronts.

Jieli stood up against the table, with a fierce look in his eyes: "What a bastard, you really have a long face. Just sell me Turkic like this. As the king of Turkic Khan, I, Jieli, cannot tolerate such a villain who betrays me." The benevolence and righteousness he said was actually that he wanted to sell it himself, but Datang would never buy it from him. Who made Datang so badly offended before.

At this time, a person beside him said: "Although you can't have both fish and bear's paw, it is not impossible to plan well."

Jieli's spirit was shaken, and he said, "What do you mean by Mr. Zhao's words?"

Mr. Zhao in Jieli's mouth is a Chinese literati with a feather fan and a scarf. His surname is Zhao and his name is Deyan.Zhao Deyan has read poetry and books on the art of war since he was a child, and he has a high self-esteem. He feels that he can stand shoulder to shoulder with the ancient Zhuge and Zhang Liang, and his ambition is quite high.He lives in seclusion in the wild, hoping to be like Zhuge, to be favored by the Ming Lord and leave a good story.But no one cares about it, half my life is mediocre, not appreciated by others, and I feel cynical in my heart.In a fit of rage, Beitou surrendered to the Turks.

Xieli's greatest ambition is to build a grassland empire, like the empire in the Central Plains, where its own culture can be passed down from generation to generation.

Zhao Deyan is very knowledgeable, he seems to be proficient in everything, and he dresses like Zhuge Liang day and night, which seems a little unpredictable, he is highly valued by Jie Li, and he is entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

Zhao Deyan lightly shook his feather fan and said: "King Khan, in view of the current situation, we can adopt a strategy of defending from the north and attacking from the south. We can't defeat Tiele's minions, but after a series of battles, Tiele is also at the end of his strength, and so far he has lacked the initiative to attack. At the same time, King Khan dispatched a part of his troops to go south, defeated Tuli with lightning speed, and returned immediately after taking the things for the winter. We set up a military tent several times the number of soldiers in the place where we confronted Tiele, so that Tiele didn't know the reality of our army. When they came back to their senses, the soldiers who had completed the mission to the south were already in place. Even if we fight, we will There is also the advantage of winning, and with Tuli's supplies, even if we don't fight, we can wear Tie Le to death."

"But Tuli still has 4 soldiers ready to fight. At least we need to send about [-] soldiers. If we count the [-] frontier troops to prevent the Shuofang Tang army from dispatching at any time, we need [-] warriors at least. It’s already [-]% of our troops, and with only [-] warriors, I’m worried that we won’t be able to deter Tie Le.”

"Tuli has 4 troops, but they shoulder the task of escorting the tribal people. If my guess is correct, Tuli will be divided into four groups of guards, front, back, left, and right. It is correct to divide the troops, but he needs to escort the herdsmen and livestock. There are too many, his battle line is too long, and he can't take care of both ends. After we defeated one of the roads, the other three roads may not have recovered. The key to this battle lies in the word 'fast'. After defeating all the way, decisively kill the herdsmen, drive the herdsmen and livestock of Tuli as the vanguard of our army, and disperse the army of Tuli. , the morale is high, but the fighting spirit of the Tuli army is not high, and it does not need 2 people to defeat them, [-] people are enough." Although Zhao Deyan is a literati, he has a very serious evil spirit.

Jie Li whispered: "Sir, this plan is certainly a clever plan, but it can drive the herdsmen to go to the battle. Will this cause public anger?"

Zhao Deyan said without hesitation: "Strike first to be strong, and then suffer disaster. This is the law that has never changed through the ages. If not, how can we survive the cold winter when we lose most of our strength? In my opinion, as long as we are in the Tang Army Outside the boundaries of the Khan, before reacting, he attacked Tuli, beheaded Tuli, and incorporated his tribe. At that time, King Khan had more than [-] elites for nothing, and let all the tribes know what the fate of resisting King Khan was. Seriously. The truth on the grassland is that the strong are respected, as long as the Khan is strong enough, there is no fear of his public wrath."

Jieli looked stern, nodded and said: "What you said is very reasonable, let's do it like this."

Zhao De knew Xieli's plan, and said, "If King Khan sends his troops south, there is one thing to keep in mind."

Xieli cupped his hands and said, "Sir, please tell me."

Zhao Deyan said: "The purpose of this army is to obtain supplies so that our army can survive this winter successfully. After defeating Tuli, we can collect as many animals as we can. Don't delay too much time for animals. If the Tang army kills us, it will be troublesome." But it will be big. In order to deal with the possible appearance of the Tang army, 2 people should be left as a guard of elite soldiers with strict discipline and discipline to fight at any time."

Jieli looked up to the sky and laughed, "Mr. Zhao is very true. If the Tang army does not come, the other 2 people will just gather the large number of animals together."

Zhao Deyan said confidently: "I'm [-]% sure that Qin Feng in Shuofang will not send troops."

Jieli was overjoyed and asked, "How do you see it?"

"Since ancient times, the emperors of the Central Plains Dynasty have strictly controlled the army. The border generals only have the right to defend. If they raise their own troops without the emperor's consent, it is a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans. Therefore, the defenders throughout the history There are many people who miss out on battle opportunities because they are waiting for orders from the imperial court. There are two great generals from the Qin family, and the limelight is unparalleled. The Qin family has already been envied by others. If Qin Feng sends troops again, it will definitely be criticized Appeal. Qin Feng seems to have unlimited scenery, but in reality he is walking on thin ice and trembling."

Speaking of this, Zhao Deyan said with certainty: "Last time, Lord Ke Dun received news from the Tang court. Even though Wumeng still couldn't escape the end of destruction, it also showed that the Tang court is not monolithic, and there are still conflicts within them. It is very serious. To this day, Li Shimin has not given Qin Feng an explanation. What does this mean? It shows that Li Shimin is also suspicious of Qin Feng, and he is also afraid of the influence of the Qin family in the army. Qin Feng is a smart person, and he will definitely not It will make people seize the opportunity, and besides, the Turkic infighting is exactly what they want to see, so I estimate that the possibility of Qin Feng sending troops is less than [-]%."

"Mr. is right. Infighting will always be the reason for the demise of the Central Plains dynasty. It is also the internal fighting in the Central Plains that creates a powerful opportunity for us grassland peoples. The barbarian is insidious and cunning, like a dormant poisonous snake. Others guard me. Don't worry. Then, let Ashinamo Ruoya fight the battle of going south."

The ecstatic Xieli spoke confidently, and arranged according to Zhao Deyan's intention.
