Chapter 207: [We Captured the Turkic Khan]
Gu Tianya took his words and said with a soothing tone: "Second brother, don't worry too much, the younger brother thinks that this battle is in danger." Although the Turks have 70,000 cavalry, our strength is more than 200,000, not only are all your Xuanjia Iron Cavalry exhibited, but Zhaoning's women's army has also joined the battle. Datang's two major forces are working together to meet it, and it is still a battle of ambush and defense, if my calculation is correct, I am afraid that there are already people who have begun to report victory and are about to arrive......"
Li Shimin's face sank like water, and he said slowly: "I hope so." ”
Next to him, Li Jiancheng stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes seemed to be looking at the northwest direction, and after a long time, he suddenly said with deep meaning: "After this war, the Liang Kingdom will definitely be destroyed." The Turks lost this arm, and the deterrence to the Tang Dynasty was much smaller, but it was still the most powerful force in the world, and I, the Tang Dynasty, also had to cultivate the vitality of the soldiers after this battle, so I am afraid that there will be a war of words and swords next, because both sides have no ability to fight again in a short period of time......"
He said and looked at Gu Tianya, the deep meaning in his tone seemed to be deeper, and he asked with a light smile: "Brother-in-law Tianya, are you ready?" ”
Gu Tianya also smiled and said: "If you talk about the kung fu of playing tricks, there are many Wenchen in the court who are good at the benefits of the tongue. If the Turks really want to talk, let's let the civil officials talk. Anyway, the captives are in our hands, and the other party will definitely pay the price if they want to exchange them back. In addition, the land captured after the destruction of the Liang State is definitely impossible to return these gains. I don't know if Liang Shidu died in the war, if he died, it would be even more perfect, since ancient times, the country was destroyed before the king, I estimate that those people under the second brother's hands will not let him go......"
Li Shimin spoke lightly on the side and said: "The head of Liang Shidu can be converted into at least 50,000 military exploits, and there is no one in the Tang Dynasty who does not like military exploits. ”
Gu Tianya snorted and said, "So, we are likely to see Liang Shidu's head soon......
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, the sound was approaching rapidly, obviously someone was running wildly, and sure enough, in a blink of an eye, he saw three or four generals galloping, and the leader was like the bottom of a pot, it was Wei Chi Jingde, and the one next to him was holding an iron lance, which was clearly Duan Zhixuan, and as for the last person, it was Zhang Liang, the general of Tiance Mansion.
The three of them galloped wildly, each violently reined in their horses, then turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee together, and shouted: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, we will report a great victory." ”
Li Shimin's face remained calm, and his tone only showed a little wave, but everyone could see that he was trying to restrain himself, so he pretended to be calm: "Speak." ”
Wei Chi Jingde clasped his hands into fists and said loudly: "In this emergency battle, the three of us led an army, set up an ambush at about 70 miles in the inner foot of the border of Hedong Road, led 5,000 Xuanjia iron cavalry to intercept the cavalry of the Turks, under the first battle, beheaded 7,000, killed four Turkic generals, and killed more than 10 generals, and then according to the established strategy, let go of the Turks' soldiers and horses and continue to go south, we feel that we have exceeded the task, so we have come to report the victory, but please Your Highness give the first approval, and give us three people a ...... of military exploits."
Since ancient times, the generals will go out to fight, and it is their duty to fight a war, even if the war is won no matter how beautiful, according to the convention, it is only to report the victory, as for the matter of directly asking for military merits, it is rare for the general to bring it up when reporting the victory, because it seems too anxious to do so, and it is easy to give people a feeling of falling into the inferior.
However, these three generals did not shy away from showing their urgency.
They just want Li Shimin to establish his exploits at the first time.
There was obviously a sense of strangeness in this matter, but everyone present knew why this was the case, just because these generals wanted to get their battle exploits as soon as possible, so that they could obtain the qualifications to buy Gu Tianya's magic medicines.
This is also the main reason why they set out in a hurry on the way to congratulate him.
It's a pity that Li Shimin didn't seem to realize the urgency of the three of them, but said thoughtfully: "You and the other three are setting up an ambush seventy miles inside the border, which means that the Turks have already rushed into the territory of the Tang Dynasty for seventy miles. Well, the three of you are not fighting the first battle. ”
Wei Chi Jingde nodded solemnly and said, "Your Highness is right, we are indeed not fighting the first battle, there are still two battles ahead, about once within twenty miles within the border, and once within fifty miles within the border. ”
He paused as he spoke, and then said: "Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie are in ambush at twenty miles, and Hou Junji and Liu Hongji are ambushed at ...... border."
He paused again, and his face, which was as black as the bottom of the pot, showed some innocent smiles, and said with a little excitement: "As for why we came back early to report the victory, instead of going to the decisive battle to support our comrades, it is because we have already learned the result of the battle, Li Jing and Xu Shiji killed more than 50,000 Turkic cavalry in a battle, and the most important thing is, hehehehe......
This honest man suddenly laughed, and said more and more excitedly: "The most important thing is that Brother Gu's sister suddenly came to the decisive battlefield, and with her own strength, she swept and was invincible among the ten thousand armies, she directly broke through the elite Chinese army of the Turks, and grabbed the leader of the Turkic southward movement like an eagle catching a chicken, Your Highness, you can guess who she is arresting." ”
Li Shimin was obviously a little stunned, and Gu Tianya and Li Jiancheng were also a little curious.
A group of noble ladies not far away were even more curious, and finally someone couldn't hold back their whispers and asked tentatively, "It can't be the Khan of the Turks." ”
This was originally just a fantasy speculation, who knew that Wei Chi Jingde nodded abruptly, and at the same time, Zhang Liang and Duan Zhixuan were also excited, and the three generals nodded together, and said with a smile: "It is the Jieli Khan of the Turks." ”
Hiss!
The audience gasped.
We captured the Khan of the Turks? We actually captured the Khan of the Turks?
Throughout the ages, whether it is a strong Qin or a strong Han, although they have won and won against the foreign tribes in the north, they have never heard of anyone who can directly catch the other party's khan.
Doesn't this mean that Datang has the upper hand in the next negotiations?
You can blackmail as much as you want!
……
