Chapter 228: Liangzhou is attacked
In the winter in the northwest, there is a white expanse of snow everywhere.
Duan Zhixuan led tens of thousands of troops to Tuyuhun this autumn, and although he won several small victories, he retreated without completing the strategic goals set by Li Shimin, which made Li Shimin furious and removed him from his post.
And the old trick of Tuyuhun Khan Fu Yun was repeated, and after the Tang army retreated, it appeared on the border of the Tang Dynasty again.
"Smack! Drive! ”
A teenager slapped his mount desperately, and his whole body lay on his horse.
And not far from him, there were hundreds of Tuyuhun cavalry chasing him.
The boy's name was Dafei, and he was the son of Askar.
He was responsible for purchasing the wool of the border tribes in Liangzhou and Tuyuhun in the Northwest Trade, and he was a well-known merchant in Liangzhou City.
The main reason is that their father and son are doing things for the northwest trade, and Ma Zhou also trusts them, so they take some herdsmen from the original tribe to their side and form a caravan to and from Liangzhou City and the grassland.
Originally, today Da Fei went to a tribe in Tuyuhun that was relatively close to Datang to buy wool, but he didn't expect to be attacked by a team of soldiers and horses on the way back.
I don't know if it's CMA CGM's luck or bad luck.
This team of soldiers and horses was only the vanguard of Tuyuhun's large army, and they only divided a hundred people to deal with Dafei's caravan, but this also brought disaster to Dafei.
I won't talk about all the wool I purchased.
There were more than 20 people in the caravan, and now only he and the four or five guards behind him were left, and all the others died under the bows of the Tuyuhun people.
Da Fei grew up in the northwest, so he naturally knew more about the situation of the Tuyuhun people, and when he saw the cavalry rushing towards his caravan, he immediately knew that he was in trouble.
The equipment of these people is actually very uniform, this is definitely not an ordinary horse thief or a small tribe who came out to fight the autumn wind.
Rather, it was the regular army of Tuyuhun.
Such a force of soldiers and horses appeared on the border of the Tang Dynasty and killed themselves menacingly.
There is no better option than to escape.
Flee back and bring the news to Ma Changshi and General Niu.
This is the most urgent thought in Dafei's heart at this moment.
This is not to say how loyal he is to Datang, but that his Aya and his family are in Liangzhou City, and they are all hugging the thighs of Northwest Trade.
"Ahh
There was another scream from behind Dafei, and Dafei glanced out of the corner of his eye to see that one of the guards had been hit by an arrow and fell from his horse.
"Dafei, you go to the east, and we will stay and break off."
The remaining guards probably couldn't escape, so they simply didn't run away.
As long as Dafei goes back alive, his family will be taken care of, and if everyone dies, no one even knows how he died.
"Be careful!"
At this moment, Dafei couldn't afford to have other ideas, so he had to grit his teeth and continue to rush forward.
……
In the palace of the King of Chu, a tired guard stood beside Li Kuan.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates hurried back, even if they escaped the encirclement, it is estimated that the outside of Liangzhou City has been poisoned by the Tuyuhun people."
"Didn't Your Majesty send General Duan to lead a large army to attack Tuyuhun? Why is it that Liangzhou is attacking people now? ”
Li Kuan didn't know very much about the specific process of the Tang Dynasty's extermination of Tuguhun, but only knew that he won the battle in the end.
"Lord Wang, General Duan pursued Tuyuhun for several months, and withdrew without any results. The soldiers and horses in Liangzhou who followed General Duan on the expedition did not return for a month, and the Tuyuhun people came to attack Liangzhou again. ”
"Hmph, Tuyuhun is treating Liangzhou as a fat meat in his mouth, right?"
Liangzhou is now the most prosperous state capital in the northwest, and people from various surrounding tribes go here every day to trade wool, milk, salt, wool thread and other materials.
With such a piece of fat by his side, it's not that no one wants to fight it, but Tuyuhun is the first to do it.
"Lord Wang, Ma Changshi thinks that Tuyuhun has been established for more than 300 years, and Fu Yun Khan feels that his strength is not bad, and he is unwilling to let the Tang Dynasty power grow bigger in the northwest, plus the Western Turks are stirring up on the side, it is inevitable that he will have other thoughts. There should be someone to send a more detailed message later. ”
"Okay, I know, you go and rest first."
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, but such a single thing has been made, so don't mention Li Kuan's displeasure with Tuyuhun in his heart.
"Prepare the horse, this king is going to enter the palace!"
[You have a new mission!] 】
Just as Li Kuan was about to go out, the system, which had been dumb for a long time, suddenly moved.
"What task? Open it and I'll take a look. ”
Li Kuan frowned, and found that this system was getting worse and worse, if it wasn't for the fact that it could be exchanged for some items, he didn't know what it was for.
[It is a crime to kill one person, to slaughter ten thousand people is a king, and to kill ten thousand people is the king of kings. Ask for the destruction of a country within a year. 】
This system ......
Li Kuan felt speechless, he had just received the news of Tuyuhun's attack on Liangzhou, so he gave himself such a task, this was to force himself to destroy Tuyuhun?
There are hundreds of thousands of people, and there are 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses that can fight, or even 100,000, if Datang does not send 108,000 soldiers and horses, how can it be destroyed?
This court wants to send troops, so it can't be his turn to lead the troops.
Are Li Jing, Hou Junji, and Cheng Yanjin all vegetarians?
"How can destroying a country in one year be considered a complete task?"
Li Kuan no longer asks the question of what punishment there will be if it can't be completed, with its virtue, if it doesn't complete this task, it is estimated that this system will become non-existent.
Li Kuan also expects to exchange a little thing from time to time.
[Lead troops to participate in major battles and destroy the country with your own hands]
Forget it, this broken system didn't assign itself a task of destroying a country by one person, which is already a blessing.
This Tuyuhun is related to whether their grassland strategy can be implemented smoothly, and since they have jumped out like this, let's destroy it.
Anyway, without himself, Li Shimin also wants to send someone to destroy him.
Just when Li Kuan received the news from the northwest, Li Shimin in the Daming Palace also received the news.
Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Changsun Wuji, Hou Junji, Wei Zheng and other ministers of the DPRK and China were all summoned to the Xuanzheng Hall by Li Shimin to discuss countermeasures.
Li Shimin is the emperor who will win the world immediately, where can he tolerate the Tuyuhun people to provoke the Tang Dynasty repeatedly.
Is Datang really a soft persimmon?
Li Shimin suppressed the anger in his heart, "Everyone, Aiqing, this is the situation, what do you think?" ”
"Your Majesty, Tuyuhun not only detained my envoys from the Tang Dynasty, but now he has sent troops to attack Liangzhou, so arrogant, if they are not destroyed, it is difficult to ensure that those party members, Qiang people, and Western Turkic people will follow suit, and Weichen asks to lead the troops to go out to sweep away Tuyuhun for His Majesty."
Hou Junji has a short temper, and as the secretary of the military department, he has more resentment against Tuyuhun than ordinary people.
