178. Dingxiang Dingxiang
Jieli was selecting generals from the Hu and Turks, and before the trick of checks and balances was over, a Turkic soldier crawled in covered in blood, "Khan, it's not good, the Tang army has entered the city!" β
What, it's coming so soon?! Everyone in the hall was shocked, they hadn't set up a battle yet!
"There are not a few guards at the city gate, why can the Tang army attack the city? Did someone mutiny? Hurry up and talk about the situation! β
Hearing Jieli's urgent order, the Turkic soldier who was standing and shaking steadily steadied himself, and his lips trembled and said: "They used demon magic, and the city gate and even the city wall were blown open by thunder!" β
The soldier who came to report the news before said that heaven was punished, and this one said that there was a demon law. The tribal leaders in the room were quite knowledgeable, and as soon as they pondered it, they thought that the Tang army might have a weapon in their hands.
Yes, regardless of whether it is a heavenly punishment or a magic or a sharp weapon, most of the people in the room listened to the soldier's report, and their thoughts were: Run! Run!! Running non-stop!!
Princess Yicheng is in a hurry, she knows Jieli too well, it seems that Dingxiangcheng will be abandoned. Thinking that she had successfully bought Mr. Cui (Huang Wen), she hurriedly glanced at the other party.
Huang Wen understands that he is more afraid of Jieli running away than Princess Yicheng.
"Khan, is it possible that someone is here to deceive us? Even if it is a new weapon, maybe the Tang army will not be able to use it too many times? Although he didn't name him, Huang Wen glanced in the direction of Ashina Simo.
Ashina Simo is not stupid, plus he has a violent temper, so he endured Huang Wen just now, and now he can't bear it.
"Don't wronged a good person, you Han dog, look at the brand on your head, you are a slave of my Turks!"
This sentence happened to be used by Huang Wen to use the topic to play, so as to delay time, "My heartfelt feelings to the Khan can be seen from the sun and the moon, I am a brother to the Turks and the Hu people, and I think about everyone all the time, but do you treat me as a dog?!" β
Zhao Deyan cooperated: "It seems that no matter how much we give, we can't change the prejudice brought by the bloodline. That's it, I'll also ask the Khan to resign. β
Jieli has long regarded these two people as his confidants, especially the various policies that Mr. Cui and Mr. Zhao have combined with after joining, which has made him taste countless sweetness, how could he give up such a heartfelt and capable strategist.
"Someone, take Ashnasimo down for me." Jieli has an arrogant and timid heart, and he simply and rudely cleared up the topic that Huang Wen deliberately opened in one sentence, in order to run away quickly.
No, it would be too revealing to say more, Huang Wen and Zhao Deyan looked at each other, and said some words of gratitude and loyalty. It's not all for nothing, Jieli actually took the initiative to give up the first fierce general of the grassland for the sake of the two of them.
Princess Yicheng can have some say on the grassland, not by virtue of her identity as a princess of the dead country, but by judging the situation and doing what she likes. She is committed to the three generations of Dong. The Turkic leader, for the hope of recovering the country, if she loses Dingxiang City, what will be left of her efforts for most of her life?!
"I think that the Tang Army has sent troops this time, and it is easy to catch up with the Khan's withdrawal, so it is better for me to stay and drag them down." With her understanding of Jieli, persuading the other party to fight would only make the other party angry, so it was better to use a favorable argument to win more troops to defend the city.
Jieli looked at Princess Yicheng uncertainly, he seemed to want to understand something, and said movingly: "I have wronged you, don't fight with Tang Jun, hurry up and find me after holding them for a while." β
The two of them spoke nicely to each other, and everyone knew each other's calculations, Jieli actually gave up Princess Yicheng, and planned to use her to delay and attract Tang Jun. Without any further delay, Jieli hurriedly asked the leaders of the tribes to lead the troops to evacuate.
In addition to Princess Yicheng, there is also Emperor Yang Xiaohou in Turkic, and she did not leave with Jieli. Empress Xiao is a famous beauty, she was used by Princess Yicheng to consolidate her position, this life has been too bumpy and twists and turns, and there may be many reasons why she stayed. It may be that you have lived enough, or you may want to go back to the Central Plains to gamble.
As for Yang Zhengdao, the son of King Xuan of Sui Qi, he didn't dare to politely say that he would stay, for fear that Princess Yicheng would really agree. From Princess Yicheng's point of view, there is nothing wrong with her wanting to restore the country, but the fault lies in the fact that there is no available emperor. Compared to Emperor Wen of Sui's eloquence, Yang Zhengdao is something!
Huang Wen had to leave with Jieli, and with limited time, he took the risk of leaving a secret message in the house to indicate the route of Jieli's evacuation.
In fact, Huang Wen was right when he persuaded Jieli, who knew how many thunders they would be able to make. Huang Wen had never seen mines and black oil, and naturally he didn't know the uses and limitations, and his strong admiration for his teacher made him think that the new weapon had no dew point. In fact, the black oil in Li Jing's hand cannot be used now, and the temporary decision to raid can only be done by blowing up the city gate with mines.
There is no Jieli army, although Princess Yicheng has a lot of soldiers in her hands, they are all weaklings picked out by Jieli. The combat strength of ordinary Turkic civilians is average, and there are Han slaves bought by Turkic civilians who saw the Tang army attacking, and they also rose up to resist under long-term oppression.
In this way, since the explosion of the city gate all the way in, the Tang army has been reaping the lives of the Turks like crazy, and Li Jing's 3,000 elite cavalry is simply sweeping Dingxiang.
When they came to the outside of the city lord's mansion, Wang Xiran and Zhou Qi, who were the hardest-working, could no longer see their appearances, and their bodies were stained red with the blood of the Turks. It was too uncomfortable, Zhou Qi pulled Li Jing's arm, "General, I want to take a bath......"
Looking at the two people who were congealed by blood, Li Jing said arrogantly: "This mansion has been surrounded by us, and after we finish solving the people inside, let you take a bath first!" β
Zhou Qi hugged his fists when he heard this, and he was about to rush in just waiting for Li Jing's order.
"Don't worry, if you want to come to the city lord's mansion, there must be armaments, who knows if there are traps, such as ten thousand arrows piercing the heart or something." Wang Xiran thought carefully, and his long-cherished wish of two lifetimes of gas was finally realized, and now the whole person seems to be much easier.
Li Jing answered: "The old man thinks the same. He turned back to the cavalry behind him and said, "Go get some mines, let's blow them up and go in." β
Zhou Qi asked anxiously, "Will my Senior Brother Huang also be inside, in case I hurt him?" β
Wang Xiran replied again: "Stupid girl, can Jieli run away without him?" β
Zhou Qi originally wanted to ask, how did you know that Jieli had run away, but then when he thought that they attacked here with almost no obstacles, the reason was too obvious. Then he knocked on his head, and secretly said that he always embarrassed the teacher, if only her mind was as strong as force.
Bang bang!!
Some of the Turks who were still resisting heard the sound of the explosion and gave up their resistance sluggishly.
Hearing the screams one after another, and looking at the choking smoke coming out of the City Lord's Mansion, I felt that this time it should be fine. Li Jing waved his hand, and several cavalrymen took the lead in to check.
"Chief, come and see. Wang Dalang was right, it was really a thousand arrows piercing the heart! β
Li Jing and the others entered when they heard the sound, only to see that a group of archers were killed in the courtyard of the city lord's mansion facing the gate. A few cavalrymen shook, looked at Wang Xiran and looked at the people killed on the ground, and sighed in their hearts that it was poisonous enough, maybe the arrow was really poisoned.
"Leave some people outside to surround the city, and the rest will follow me to search the house." Considering that the cavalry was not good at this work, Wang Xiran added to Li Jing: "Maybe there is a secret passage or hiding place, knock on whether the back of the wall is empty, move the case couch to see if there is a secret door hidden below, if you really have no search experience, simply move out of the house, and I will check it one by one." β
No one said that Wang Xiran was too cautious, they had all read Li Jinjiang's novels, and the hidden survivors were so powerful in revenge, they had to be careful.
Before the search could be launched, the group saw a woman lying on the passage to the courtyard with serious injuries and coughing up blood. Li Jing was stunned after carefully seeing the man's face, and then his face showed a complicated expression.
Princess Yicheng wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and looked at Li Jing sarcastically, "Li Jing, don't you worship me?" β
Li Jing was originally an official of the Sui Dynasty, but he was only reused after following Li Yuan. If it is said that it is an anti-minister, it can be counted, but the Yang family is really unkind to him. Seeing that Li Jing wanted to worship Princess Yicheng, Wang Xiran said: "Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help." If it is orthodox, the first person to achieve great unification was the First Emperor. If you talk about courtiers, your Yang family was also someone else's courtier many years ago. Don't you understand, this world has always been only the world of the people. Whoever can make the people live a good life will have his surname in this world. β
"Nonsense, if it weren't for our Great Sui, the Han people would have been devoured by Wuhu long ago!" After saying that, there was another coughing up of blood.
This really makes sense, Emperor Wen of Sui is the second person in history to complete the great unification in the real sense of the war, and his comprehensive evaluation is even higher than that of the first emperor in the hearts of many people.
Wang Xiran sighed: "It's a pity that he has no descendants, and the peace he worked hard to bring to a miasma." Emperor Wen of Sui brought hope to the people, but you instigated Jieli to kidnap the Han people as slaves in the Turks, and those innocent people are also sorry for your Yang family? β
"You... You are strong in your words......"
Princess Yicheng was hit by Wang Xiran one after another, she was already seriously injured, and she was so angry that she vomited blood and died. Three Thousand Flying Tigers. Riding adoringly looked at Wang Xiran, this family can kill people! Li Jing is also grateful to him in his heart, otherwise if he captures Princess Yicheng and then kills him as a person, he will inevitably be gossiped.
If you don't kill it, you can't send people back to the Holy Lord, otherwise the Holy Admiral will encounter the same difficulties as Li Jing. With Li Shimin's cautious Cheng dΓΉ, Li Jing has to be worn by him all day long.
The cavalry searched carefully according to Wang Xiran's instructions, and finally only caught some Turkic retinues and Empress Xiao who was waiting in the main hall. Li Jing pouted, this is easy to do, Empress Xiao is not as good at power as Princess Yicheng, and it is estimated that she will be included in the harem according to the consistent style of the saint.
There is another important matter, after asking the Turkic entourage, several leaders hurriedly went to the room where Huang Wen and Zhao Deyan lived to check again. While they were inspecting, reinforcements from Evil Sun Ridge arrived.
Considering that there may be clues here, Li Jing did not let Li Ji lead people to chase Jieli, mainly considering that if the troops were divided and chased to the wrong place, a lot of combat effectiveness would be reduced.
Seeing Wang Jue coming, Wang Xiran and Zhou Qi didn't care to say much, and hurriedly handed over the matter of finding a message to her, and then the two of them ran to take a bath separately. If they really find a clue, they will have to pursue Jieli without resting.
It is said that Zhou Xiaoniang washed ten buckets of water alive, and there was no blood red in the water. Later, this incident was used to prove Zhou Qi's bravery, and then it was also passed down as a deed for a long time.
