Chapter 15: Mediocre Talent
The Turkic soldiers blocked the four gates of Dingxiang City, and the assembly of the Turks in the city was carried out rapidly, fortunately, although they settled in Dingxiang for many years, the Turks were the most wild and untamable, and the nomadic tradition of their ancestors was not lost, most of the time they just regarded Dingxiang as a castle that could shelter from the wind and rain to avoid the plundering and killing of strong enemies, but they definitely did not regard this place as their home.
For the Turks, where the cattle and sheep are, the felt tents are there.
They live in pursuit of water and grass, and in their genes, there is no inheritance and yearning for home......
As soon as the sky was clear, the Turks quickly assembled under the supervision and organization of the army, drove their cattle and sheep, braved the wind and snow that were getting much smaller, and began to migrate towards Shuozhou.
Everyone acted very quickly, they didn't have much nostalgia for Dingxiang City, and they knew that once Xue Yantuo attacked the city, it would be a matter of time before Dingxiang City fell, and they were used to living a comfortable life under the protection of the Tang Dynasty over the years, who wanted to be Xue Yantuo's slave?
The Turkic scouts spread out dozens of miles in the north and west directions, eliminating all the Xue Yantuo scouts they might encounter, and making sure to buy more time for the migration of the tribesmen.
In the unlikely event that Xue Yantuo detected the cavalry and poured in, the Turks would face a terrible disaster......
Xiang Ao, Kang Sumi and others were all sent out to organize the retreat of the clansmen, while Ashina Simo himself ran to the small courtyard where Zhao Deyan lived.
……
"What if the Tang army guards don't allow us Turks to enter the city?"
Ashina Simo was sitting on pins and needles, and it was only at this moment that he realized this fatal hidden danger.
He now knew what was happening in Mayi City, Fang Jun's right guard was blocked at Yanmen Pass and was not allowed to go north, and Xue Wanche's right guard was dragged in Mayi City by the Mayi City guard on the grounds of lack of grain, and he could not go out of the city to Dingxiang to join him.
Since the defenders of Mayi City were so bold, it was obviously confirmed that Xue Yantuo did not dare to attack on a large scale, and only withdrew his troops after a period of confrontation, and such feats as "defending the frontier" and "deterring the enemy" would naturally fall on the head of the defenders of Mayi City.
Under such circumstances, it is very risky for the Turks to enter Mayi City, who knows if the Xue Yantuo people will immediately attack Mayi City and start a war with the Tang Dynasty when they are angry?
Once the war starts, what awaits the defender of Mayi City is not a feat, "delaying the military situation", "disrespecting the order", and "calamity to the frontier...... Either crime is enough to cut off his head ten times or eight times.
At that time, the wisest thing to do was to let the Turks be attacked and plundered by Xue Yantuo, and throw all the charges to the Xue Yantuo people who started the war......
At that time, the Turks had to face the charge of the iron cavalry of the Xueyantuo people on the plain below the city of Mayi......
Where is there still a way to live?
Zhao Deyan changed into an ordinary Han gown, the house was burning a brazier, very warm, at the moment was sitting on the soft floor and tasting the high-grade tea brought by Ashina Simo from Chang'an, sipping tea with taste, squinting from time to time to taste the sweetness of the tongue and mouth, and the face covered with age spots had a leisurely look of extreme enjoyment.
"No wonder the Great Khan is reluctant to return to Dingxiang, the Tang Dynasty scenery, Guanzhong is comfortable, it is indeed a paradise of indulgence, even the heart of the old decay is about to die, but also full of longing for the Tang Dynasty with flowers and splendid flowers, originally only wanted to find a place with green mountains and green waters as a place to bury bones, and it can be regarded as a return to the hometown of the soul of the leaves. Now, I can't help but want to live a few more days, appreciate the heroism of Guanzhong, and feel the charm of Jiangnan water......"
Seeing Zhao Deyan shaking his head and enjoying his face, Ashina Simo couldn't cry or laugh, and said anxiously: "Don't be emotional, your old body is strong, it's no problem to live for another ten or eight years, and when it comes to this, I won't be the angry khan of this Laoshizi, ask for a holy decree with the emperor, unload this errand, and return to Chang'an to be a rich man, and then accompany you to Guanzhong, Central Plains, Jiangnan, and Lingnan, even if you follow the fleet to the South Seas, you will be accompanied to the end...... It's just that at this level, you have to give me advice, and you must pass it safely! ”
Zhao Deyan sighed, and said angrily: "You, you, you looked smart and clever when you were a child, but you don't want to be just a little smart, and you can't do anything when a big thing comes, how can this mind become a big thing?" ”
Ashina Simo also sighed: "I have this temperament, I know my own affairs, where is the material for achieving great things?" I don't have that ambition, I just want to live happily in this life, and I will be content. But after all, you can't watch the clansmen being squeezed in the middle by Xue Yantuo and Tang Jun, crushed into powder, right? If that's the case, the heart will be uneasy, and its sins will not be atonement! ”
If it weren't for the holy will, he wouldn't have bothered to ask for this Eastern Turkic Khan of Raushzi!
What is the Turkic now?
The population is only seventy or eighty thousand, and the soldiers are only thirty or twenty thousand, in addition to the lack of horses, the lack of blades and armor, and the sandwich between the Tang Dynasty and Xue Yantuo.
Where can there be more happiness than being free in Chang'an?
Zhao Deyan shook his head and said: "It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to achieve things, who in the world can be counted as a last resort?" The bigger the matter, the more people are involved, and the greater the natural variables. Xue Yantuo made a big attack, naturally he was eyeing this land of abundant water and grass outside the Baidao River in Monan, no matter how the Tang Dynasty chooses, whether he is friendly or not, Xue Yantuo will definitely not give up if he does not achieve his goal, otherwise he will return in vain, how to explain to those Tiele tribes who are attached to Xue Yantuo? You must know that in the cold winter, all tribes have made great sacrifices when they brazenly send troops. Therefore, the Turkic tribes stayed in Dingxiang, and there was only one way to die, not to mention, the old man had already sent a message to the people around Dadu, with the greed and stupidity of Dadu, he must have been ready to pour out of the nest at this moment, either directly attack Dingxiang, not afraid of the reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty, or take advantage of the Evil Yang Ridge, insert it between Dingxiang and Mayi City, and copy the back road of Dingxiang City. If it is the former, the Great Khan can also organize soldiers to resist on the one hand, while calmly withdrawing the clansmen, if it is the latter, every time it is delayed, it will fall into a desperate situation, once Dadu set up the iron cavalry to copy the back road of Dingxiang City, the Tang army can not come even if it wants to come to help, and the Great Khan will be unable to fly. ”
Ashnasimo hesitated: "This...... Mr.'s analysis, the younger generation naturally agreed, but the defenders of Namayi City dared to block the two troops sent by the imperial court, obviously calculated that Xue Yantuo did not dare to fight brazenly, so he was ready to attack. Even if Xue Yantuo is determined to swallow the Turks now, the defenders of Mayi City will not believe it! The younger generation guards Dingxiang, relying on the thick walls of the city, maybe there is still the strength to fight, if it is caught up by Xue Yantuo in the wilderness, it will be ten deaths......"
Zhao Deyan looked at Ashina Simo with a tangled face, and sighed secretly in his heart.
In the past, when the Turks were strong, there were endless heroes in the clan, whether it was Qimin Khan, Chuluo Khan, Jieli Khan, they were all ambitious and resolute characters, but now look at Ashina Simo in front of him, weighing left and right hesitating, where is there a little bold and fierce appearance?
It's really a weasel cub, and a litter is better than a litter......
It's just that before he dies, he wants to cut off a strong enemy for Datang to make his road to revenge more complete, and he has to endure Ashina Simo's dull hesitation.
"The old man has been wandering all his life, and he has never set foot in his homeland within the Great Wall after the age of 30, but he also has a good understanding of the current situation of the Tang Dynasty. When an empire is at its strongest, it must be effective from top to bottom, and the law must be followed, and there must be a rule for everything. Although the defenders of Namayi City were bold and wanted to obstruct the imperial court's reinforcements to support Dingxiang, how could the generals who could be sent by the emperor to the northern Xinjiang to stabilize the situation be incompetent and let them handle it? The old plan was of course to lead Xue Yantuo astray, and to break out a war with the Tang Dynasty while his royal court was unstable, so that the Tang Dynasty could cut off a strong enemy, but it was the only chance for the Turks to survive. As for the final success or failure of the matter, it depends on whether the commander of the Tang Army has enough courage and the vision to control the situation. ”
Hearing him say this, Ashina Simo thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Who is the current commander of the Tang Army?
In terms of title, Xue Wanche is the highest, but this person is a muddy person, a model of courage and resourcefulness, charging into battle is a good hand, but strategizing is given in vain.
And the commander with the Tiger Fu Festival is Fang Jun......
