The war on Li Ji's side had ended, and Li Jing had just arrived near Tieshan day and night. It was Zhou Qi who was the spy this time, she mixed into Tieshan after putting on makeup, and wanted to see if she could connect with Huang Wen. After waiting for two days, I still didn't find a chance, so I regretted leaving the city.
"Report to the general, Jieli has already gone back! Before I wait for Senior Brother Huang, Jieli's residence is too tightly guarded, and I dare not approach. Zhou Qi's eyes sparkled when he mentioned Jieli, this is a big fish.
"Okay, let's rest and attack the city at dawn. "I'm afraid that Jieli will take advantage of the chaos to run again, and Li Jing will not engage in sneak attacks at night.
This time, the Tang Dynasty made great contributions to the Turkic war, and the weapons made of mines, black oil and new steelmaking, if they didn't have them, I don't know how many good sons of the Han family would have to be sacrificed. Hearing the imaginary explosion sound, Jieli's whole hair straightened, while Huang Wen and Zhao Deyan saw that the Central Plains Continent was waving to them, and the two of them forced a smile and pretended to be worried.
"Two gentlemen, what should we do now? The messenger sent to Datang to deliver the letter will not be able to come back in a few days!" Jieli is really afraid, what kind of thunder has the Tang people made, it is simply too bullying. Originally, he wanted to do a big job, but now he was chased and beaten one after another, and he was in tears when he talked too much.
Huang Wen and Zhao Deyan looked at each other tacitly, and Zhao Deyan frowned and said, "Why don't you send someone to tell them that we have already sent an envoy to Chang'an." Before the Tang Emperor could react, they should stop attacking. ”
"Although Mr. Zhao's idea is good, but Tang Jun is not moral, and I think that when they learn that we have sent an envoy to Chang'an, they will seize the time to attack. Those ruffians, when the time comes, they just say that they don't know about it, what they want is military merit!" This was the first time Huang Wen refuted Zhao Deyan for a long time, and everyone in the room was surprised.
Both of them are quite talented in language, and they have no chance to speak again and again. The cunning literati quibbled and could stun the bold men.
Jieli looked at the two of them a little dumbfounded, it seemed that what everyone said made sense, what should I do?
Yang Zhengdao, who was at the head of the city, interjected: "I think what the two gentlemen said makes sense, why don't we find a place to hide first, and leave someone to make it clear to the Tang army attacking the city." If they listen to the persuasion, let's wait until the Tang envoy comes over to see how Li Shimin decides. If we don't listen, we will leave, and we will plan carefully in the future. ”
Yang Zhengdao is not very capable, but his mind is quite delicate, especially in saving his life. Huang and Zhao secretly hated each other when they heard this, and it seemed that they couldn't continue to delay time. Although Huang Wen sometimes felt ashamed of Jieli, he really didn't want to do it again to leave a password and run away. If it goes on and on, it's scary to think about... People still want to go back and get married......
Jieli came to his senses, and he hurriedly instructed to the left and right: "Meet the battle first, and send someone to explain it to Tang Jun." Hurry up and let people pick a few thousand-mile horses, if it doesn't work, let's take the elite and go to Tuguhun!"
With the law of survival, his subordinates have to order him to do it quickly. In fact, many people are scolding Jieli, and there is nothing to do, but the Tang army has found a reason to attack it. The subordinates are centrifuged, even if Jieli doesn't run, some leaders will think about breaking away from Jieli and running away.
Tieshan is the base camp of Jieli, and there are still 20,000 Turkic regular troops left, that is, the Tang army's combat strength and equipment are much stronger than these people, and it is not easy to kill. In addition to the regular army, there are more than 100,000 ordinary people alone, but most of them will hide in wartime. This is all based on the usual experience, after the victory of the Tang people, they will also be replaced by new Turkic leaders, and they will live like no one else.
After Li Jing and the others entered the city, they quickly harvested the lives of the Turks as they did in Dingxiang City. At this time, a fast horse ran over and shouted from afar: "Our khan has sent an envoy to Chang'an, he wants to pay homage to the emperor of Tang, don't attack again!" Seeing Li Jing, as if they hadn't heard, the man shouted again: "You don't wait for the will of the emperor of Tang, and there will be no good fruit to eat when you go back, stop it!"
After shouting repeatedly, a large number of Turkic troops followed suit, and after making sure that Li Jing was not unable to hear it behind his ears, the man left with hatred.
"Khan, they really don't listen!" the baby was aggrieved, and his throat was hoarse.
Zhao Deyan took the opportunity to play, and hurriedly blamed Huang Wen, wanting to delay time like Fang Cai. Huang Wen comprehended, and the two yellow orioles began to continue to sing green willows. Jieli was already upset, listening to the buzzing and arguing in his ears, and finally said angrily: "Don't argue anymore, it's important to leave this place now!"
After the cavalry left, Li Jing had a premonition that Jieli was going to flee again. We also have experience this time, he rushed left and right, Su Dingfang and Zhou Qi immediately led two teams of cavalry to rush inside under the cover of everyone, and Wang Xiran led people to withdraw from the outside of the city and surround the entire city. Unless you have a tunnel, it's up to you how you run this time.
Jieli is also unlucky, he has just sent spies to check, and there is no ambush outside the city. Originally, he was going to open a door on the wall and leave, but he didn't expect that as soon as the wall was chiseled, Tang Jun came from behind.
"Cover the Khan's departure. "There are also 3,000 elite soldiers who want to leave with Jieli, some of whom are fighting and delaying the Tang army, and others who are leaving with Jieli from the mouth of the ruined city wall.
Zhou Qi and Su Dingfang saw Jieli slipping away from under their noses, where would they be willing, they would also bring the two teams of men and horses to divide the troops. One group and the Turks delayed each other, and they chased the other out from the mouth of the wall.
Seeing that Jieli did not go far, but was intercepted by Wang Xiran with his troops, the two of them quickly hit their horses and rushed towards Jieli. Among them, Zhou Qi's heart was still mixed with anger, and it was strange that General Li Ji's personal soldiers did not dare to tell the truth, and her senior brother Huang actually had the mark of a slave on his face! Under the anger, Zhou Qi had completely forgotten what the scar removal pill was......
Zhou Qi wants to make a name for herself as a woman in Datang and become a military general. Because of this, Wang Jue's training for her is the most rigorous. Fighting all the way, considering that she didn't know when there would be the next battle, she tried her best to kill the enemy with skill to save her body. Now it's different, it's clear that the last battle is in front of you, the last enemy is close at hand, and there is anger in your heart, Zhou Qi is completely crazy.
Zhou Qi put away the big knife in her hand, replaced it with the first weapon in her life, the iron crutch, and began to deal with the enemy in front of her savagely and rudely. The soldiers who escaped with Jieli were all on horseback, and Zhou Qi wheeled the iron crutches to cut the head, and it was a headshot directly. If you meet someone with some skills, you will first hit someone's horse, the horse's legs, the horse's belly, and the horse's head, none of these three places can withstand her blow.
Wang Xiran is okay, he already knows what Zhou Qi looks like, and when he sees the scar on Huang Wen's face, he can understand why she is like this. Su Dingfang was a little confused, although he knew that Zhou Qi's martial arts were good and her strength was great in the battle practice on weekdays, but it was also the first time I saw her in a headshot battle. The image of being bathed in blood and brains made a fierce general like Su Dingfang swallow his saliva, the girl is too cruel......
Although there were not many Turkic soldiers outside the city, they were all elite. I thought it would be more difficult to clean it up, but Zhou Qi not only increased the killing speed but also boosted the morale of his own side. How can a man like us be inferior to a female baby, brothers work hard.
Jieli still hasn't given up, and he's slowly fighting his way through the gap under the cover of the cavalry. At this time, they were already outside the city, and with the speed of their horses, there was still a chance to escape.
Zhou Qi had already killed the red eye, Su Dingfang and Wang Xiran were sharp-eyed, they saw that the Turks were attacking on one side, and Jieli was also slowly breaking through to that side, and hurried over to fill the vacancy. It's just that it's still too late, and when they passed, Jieli had already broken through and galloped with a few leaders.
Next, a scene that Jieli could not forget in his life appeared. I saw that the two strategists, who were trusted by him, suddenly drew their weapons together and cut them down on his horse's legs.
pounced, Jieli and the war horse fell to the ground together.
Seeing that the undercover agent personally dealt with Jieli, Wang Xiran and Su Dingfang did not hesitate to start chasing after several leaders, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat! The leaders who escaped were also shocked by the sudden incident, and they paused for a moment and hurriedly ran again, but because of this time, they shortened the distance with the pursuers.
In the face of the Turkic elite, the Tang army also suffered a lot of casualties this time. The small number of wars outside the city, coupled with the capture of the khan and the blows brought by the rebellion of the strategists, the Turks were quickly killed by the Tang army.
Tang Jun dismounted and approached Jieli, and found him sitting on the ground crying and laughing and muttering to himself, obviously these days of running away and finally receiving mental stimulation had broken the steppe man. Beside him were Zhao Deyan and Huang Wen, who were looking at him with complicated expressions.
Zhou Qi whined and cried and pounced on Huang Wen, "Senior brother, how dare they brand you as a slave!, what should I do, your father-in-law is coming soon, will he ...... because of this?"
Huang Wen: "...... The teacher has anti-scar medicine. ”
When Zhou Qi heard this, her tears stopped instantly, and she excused herself embarrassedly: "What kind of scar removal medicine, the teacher has to develop a word removal medicine for you!"
Hearing Zhou Qi shouting Senior Brother Huang Wen, those ordinary Tang soldiers were all stunned. Feelings are not anti-water, it turns out that Jieli Khan has our undercover agents around him, and the Baijia faction is really capable. Thinking of Zhou Qi's marriage, your father-in-law, which one of these we can also match.
Jieli people collapsed, his ears did not collapse, and he also guessed Huang Wen's true identity. The next scene is still unforgettable, it successfully opened the unlucky days for a long time after Huang Wen, only to see Jieli suddenly laugh and say: "No wonder I was deceived by you, you have no true feelings, you must have gone to Wang Jue and Li Ji for the future." Don't you say that Li Ji betrayed Li Mi and pretended to be a good person, he should have been cut by a thousand knives a long time ago? There is also Nanshan Wang Jue, a widow who makes waves all day long, but she is more vicious than Bao Xi and the like!"
In fact, in order to pretend to be Cui's son, Huang Wen took out all the people who could be scolded, including Li Shimin. It's even more ugly to say other people's words, but Jieli didn't mention it, but took out his words to scold Wang Jue and Li Ji.
If only these Tang soldiers around him heard it, everyone could understand Huang Wen's situation, even if they had other ideas, they wouldn't make trouble. The problem is that Li Ji and the others are afraid that Li Jing will lead fewer people into a difficult battle, and the reinforcements will come too timely and too coincidentally, and Jieli's words will be heard by the Tang army who rushed to the scene.
Not only Li Ji came, but the three teams who hadn't made much merit before also wanted to make some benefits in Tieshan. They left some people to continue to watch Tuli, and then led the elite soldiers to Tieshan with Li Jihui and Tong. In order to catch up with this war, they only rested during meals along the way, and could not even sleep for a few hours at night.
Cheng Yanjin, who was originally a little tired, instantly came to his senses, he hadn't made waves for a long time, how could he miss a good opportunity in front of him, "Hahaha, Li Ji sees how much your son-in-law loves you!"
Seeing Wang Jue and Li Ji both smiling at him, Huang Wen first bowed and bowed, and then said, "General Li Jing is fighting hard in the city!"
Qin Qiong's eyes widened, "Didn't you finish the fight?!What are you doing outside before you finish the fight, why don't you go in to help?"
Wang Xiran replied: "We just killed the elite soldiers here and captured Jieli, and we were about to tie him up, so you came." ”
Great! The people who originally thought that they were late again still had the heart to see the excitement of other people, so they began to lead people to attack inside. The soldiers and ruffians are real, and a group of people will talk to Li Jinghui and Hou Zhang, "Give us some soup to drink, and the general will take his subordinates to rest." ”
Li Jing also understands this, and the three teams are indeed unlucky.
The final war ended after a large number of Tang troops joined in. This time, 20,000 enemies were killed and more than 100,000 Turks were captured.
After the war, Wang Jue walked into the ruined city with the army, lamenting that this nation, which once dared to shout and call himself "the great leader of the seven surnames and the lord of the seven countries of the world", finally had the opportunity to recognize who was the master of this continent.
When everyone came to the original Khan's Mansion, Huang Wen knew that he was in trouble, and began to be courteous with his understanding of this place. In fact, everyone understands what's going on in their hearts, but being an elder will be a little stuffy, how can they be really angry. Huang Wen came here alone, but he risked his life on a mission. Li Ji, a face-saving person, began to feel distressed when he looked at the scars on his prospective son-in-law's face.
On the other side, it is more noteworthy to everyone is Zhao Deyan, who is said to have been making waves in the East Turkic. Although it is kind to take the initiative to help, it is very admirable to be an unsung hero for so many years, but we have to find out the bottom before we can hand over the fold to the saint.
Li Jing, as the chief manager of this operation, took the lead in asking: "We received a letter from Huang Wen, and we admire Zhao Langjun very much, I don't know where Zhao Langjun came from and what are his plans in the future?"
Zhao Deyan sat upright and only replied, "As a Han person, what I do is just Han people, you don't need to say anything about admiration." ”
couldn't ask anything, just when everyone was embarrassed, Meng Xiang opposite him rolled his eyes and said: "Don't blame you mouth cannons for always being beaten, if you didn't owe the beating like you do now, I wouldn't be able to do anything with you." ”
Zhao Deyan was not provoked by him, but said solemnly: "The difference between me and you, although I have a personal enmity with you, I deliberately let you go because your caravan collected Turkic news. Don't be careful, you don't have to make less money on the grassland after delivering the news, if you don't have me, can you be so smooth? ”
Mo Yun stabbed Meng Xiang covertly, blaming him for having a bad mouth and ruining the sect's wealth. Except for the Mo family and the hundred schools, who had already guessed Zhao Deyan's identity, the others also began to realize, it turned out that this was the Zongheng family!
Many people thought of Li Shimin's longing appearance during the Chinese New Year, if they let him know that someone in the Zongheng family had already been undercover for the Han people in the Turks, and they didn't know how happy they would be. Thinking about it, he will inevitably think of being a Han person as being for him.
Find out the identity of the undercover agent, everyone is still in a hurry to freshen up, all because there is still a major matter that has not been resolved, what should the captives do?
Everyone looked at Li Jing with blank eyes, waiting for him to make a decision.
Sometimes, there are some things, and people in certain positions must be decisive and willing to bear them. Li Jing sighed and said, "Uncle Wang said that we can assimilate the Turks, but we can only use a few people when we try at first, and if there is a problem, it is easy to control." There were too many civilians of more than 100,000 people in Tieshan, and those dead soldiers were all their relatives, so it was not suitable for people who were hostile to the Tang Dynasty to bring back to the Central Plains. Leave them behind, and he will be a curse one day. The Turkic people are too prosperous, this is more than 10,000 people can become hundreds of thousands in ten years, so let's kill them all. ”
Cheng Yanjin said: "Yes, there are still some marginal tribes who are disgusted by Jieli and have no combat effectiveness, let's just bring those people back." "There's no reason to want to kill, people are miscellaneous and never participate in wars.
Li Ji and others also began to speak out one after another to express their agreement, they are doing this to share the responsibility, killing so many people at one time is against heaven and harmony, not to mention, it is really easy to be attacked.
As the captives were slaughtered in batches outside the city, the Tang vs. Turkic War, which lasted from the end of the third year of Zhenguan to the fourth year of Zhenguan, finally came to an end.
After Yicheng became a princess, Yang Zhengdao was also killed, and the Tang army successfully recovered Dingxiang City, and since then there has been no Sui Dynasty obstacle in the Tang Dynasty. The Turks, the hegemon that began in the turmoil of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, also began to decline with the demise of the Eastern Turks.
