Volume 2 Debt Repayment Chapter 103 Cutting off the back road

After resting all night, Li Chengyang's body has obviously improved a lot, and now he can move alone without the support of others, but Li Shixiao'er still does not leave him, looking at him like a child.

Today is the 26th, Wei Chi Jingde, who received the news of the return of aid, should have arrived, before ordering Wei Chi Jingde to command 20,000 people to rush to Jingzhou, it took three full days to reorganize the army alone, and it was not so easy to gather a team in a hurry.

It's also a good thing, now Wei Chi Jingde's reinforcements are fast, and more than a day is enough.

Standing at the gate of Chang'an, looking at the direction of Weishui side by side with Duan Zhan, Li Chengyang looked at the distance for a while, and looked at the city for a while, and finally couldn't hold it back, and said to Duan Zhan:

"Can't you do it and open the gates? There are thousands of people down here, right? ”。

The city was full of peasant households who had come to take refuge, and many of them were crying under the city, hoping that the city gate officials would open the city gate and let them live.

"I also want to let it in, but who can guarantee that none of them will respond, once they get into a few good hands and grab the city gate, the consequences are not the responsibility of the two of us, there is a lot of food and cloth in the household department, and they are sent down the city wall every day, this is already the most we can do, and the rest, let it be fate" Duan Zan turned his head and didn't dare to look at the city again.

Even though there is enough food, there are many sick people who are guarding the city, and many of them are children, and many adults are holding their children and crying.

Li Chengyang took Li Shi down the city tower, he didn't see what he wanted to see, but saw such a human tragedy, no wonder there are always people who repay their lives at every turn, it turns out that sometimes, life is not worth a penny.

This is just the peasant households around Chang'an, from Lingzhou to Chang'an, hundreds of miles away, how many people are worse than the people in the city, I can't think about it, the original history book fluttering a sentence looting has a lot of gains, and its depths still cover up such a human tragedy.

I don't know if Jieli will have nightmares at night.

On the other side, by the Weishui River, Jieli's big camp.

"What, all of them went to Grass Valley? There is no one left, who will guard our back road? Waste, it's all waste" In the main account, a round-faced man with a height of eight feet was roaring in a chair, and a man dressed as a Han man next to him hurriedly explained:

"Khan, don't be angry, it's nothing more than a matter of sending another team of men and horses, or arrange our back road first to investigate the responsibility" This person is the Turkic prime minister Zhao Deyan, who advocates rampant conquest and tyrannical expropriation to make a mess of the grassland.

Jieli thought for a while, and pinched the gradually increasing swimming rings on his stomach: "Aiqing is right, aren't the people of the Tiele Department suffering heavy casualties, just let them have a good rest, let them go to guard the back road, and wait for the Hui army to give them a little from the various tribes, it can be regarded as a trip in vain."

Waiting for the herald to go out, the more Jieli thought about it, the more angry he became, his orders had begun to be ignored, and even now he openly disobeyed his orders, leaving behind the heavy responsibility of guarding the back road and went to follow the other tribes to plunder together, others don't know the Turkic situation, Jieli himself knows.

The things that were originally planned to be tossed outside Jingzhou and retreated with a large army, these local Turks come almost once a year, and they can't be cooked anymore, but this time the scale is relatively large, as for attacking Chang'an? That's not even a thought to be.

Who knew that he also hit the big luck, he only planned to take the army to show off his might in Jingzhou, in order to show his strength to the Tang Dynasty, who knew that no matter how he provoked, the leader of the defenders, Luo Yi, just couldn't hold out, and then not only did he not show up, but even the sergeants guarding the city wall also withdrew, which made Jieli a little confused for a while.

At first, they only sent a small force to pass through the city of Jingzhou tentatively, but they were not hindered at all, and when the small force returned with a full load, the army was no longer under the control of Jieli.

How rich the Central Plains is, the capital of Yuanzhou outside of Jingzhou, which has not been patronized countless times, the big army has left and the small army has come again, there are no people in Yuanzhou for so many years, the entire state has only 800 defenders, and the surviving people have moved to the mountains, and every time they plunder, they don't get a lot.

But this time it's different, it's their forbidden place within Jingzhou, basically no one dares to enter there, basically they can't get out of the level, Luo Yi blocks the back road, and those who go in have no way to escape.

But now looking at Luo Yi's appearance, he has no intention of defending at all, and Jieli's men are beginning to think carefully.

Just when Jieli was trying to suppress the riots of his subordinates, a letter from Luo Yi made the atmosphere completely explode.

"Go, I won't stop me, I can come back whenever I want, I swear to your immortality" This is the content of the letter, which was read out by Zhao Deyan in the main account one by one.

For this kind of words, Jieli doesn't believe it, there are many people who swear, and besides, what's the use of you swearing to the grassland god as a Central Plains person, you have to throw away the letter in Zhao Deyan's hand.

But he doesn't believe that anyone believes it, the more small tribes shout, the happier they are, they have long been poor and white under the oppression of Jieli or Zhao Deyan, and their lives are tight, and many newborns in the tribe can't support them, and now they have the opportunity to make a windfall, and no one wants to stop them.

There are more and more people clamoring to attack Chang'an, and Jieli is just being put on the bullet.

Now that they have all set off, it is meaningless to think about whether Luo Yi is a liar, when the last army passed through Jingzhou, Jieli's mind began to come alive: if it goes on like this, it is entirely possible for 200,000 cavalry to take the Central Plains, Li Shimin is not in the right position, and his foothold is not stable, and now he can still get the support of many people when he captures Chang'an, and he also comes to thoroughly enjoy the benefits of the Central Plains royal family.

The army went straight to Chang'an, this time both the small tribe and Jieli raised their hands in agreement, Jieli looked forward to replacing Li Shimin, and the small tribes wanted to loot, the closer they got to Chang'an, the richer they were, and they could grab it in Chang'an, which was enough for them to live in peace for three years.

It was the army that ignored the surrounding farmers all the way, and only thought about going to Bona's greatest achievement.

After hearing that Jieli made a comeback, Zhang Jin closed the door and sent the soldiers to the city, and at the same time constantly recruited the farmers in the city to defend the city, and made up his mind that Jieli would not retreat.

Great news, the sword soldiers were not used along the way, which surprised Jieli, and at the same time he was secretly happy, and his purpose may not be able to be accomplished.

It wasn't until I arrived in Weishui that I reacted, I couldn't retreat if I wanted to, I marched all the way, and the grain and grass were not enough, even after arriving in Weishui, I went out to loot it, and I got rations and dry food, as for the forage for the horses, I didn't get any of it.

The dry food of the army of 200,000 is several times that of people's horses, and the amount of people who eat horses and chew is definitely an astronomical amount, and when they go out, they bring three days of forage, and there is little left to save money, and now there are tribes running out of food.

So Jieli hesitated, if it goes on like this, within three days, the horses will be completely out of food, and the Turks who have lost their horses are still Turks? Therefore, after the police station went out to grab food, they began to arrange for people to guard the back road, and strive to leave after the fight, not daring to delay.

Who knew that the tribes under his command were all dazzled by the abundant supplies, and one by one they longed to turn them into pockets and carry away all the good things they saw, but those silk, porcelain, iron pots and bowls, can they be eaten? The food is gone, see how you guys are going to get out?

Jieli was angry, and another guard came to report: Wei Chi Jingde appeared in the rear of the army, and now he has fought with the Turkic soldiers who have just arrived in Jingyang, and the Tang army is tens of thousands, and the people of the Tiele Department can't resist it, and they have begun to ask for help.

"Reinforcements? Where to find reinforcements, they are all gone, quickly, send fast horses to call back all the people who can be called back, let them quickly return to help, and those who disobey the order will be killed" Jieli jumped up from his chair and gave the order to the herald.

The herald hurriedly withdrew, and only then did he dare to wipe the foul saliva off his face, and whispered a few curses, and then found a few guards to let them pass the message.

On Wei Chi Jingde's side, 20,000 elites attacked 5,000 remnants of the army, and the fight was called a painful one, and the Tiele Department that hit as soon as it came into contact was defeated, and Wei Chi saw Tie Le Qi Jin who roared in the Turks and ordered to stabilize the situation, and took aim at the horse lance in his hand, and threw it at Qi Jin as soon as he gritted his teeth and competed.

In response, the surrounding tribes were leaderless, and they lost their will to fight in an instant, but they fled in a moment.

After the battle, the Turks and their leader Tong Jin left a total of more than 2,000 people, a good result, but Wei Chi's face was not happy.

The generals under him came over and suggested taking advantage of the chaos to cover up the past and strive for greater results, but they were kicked off the horse by Wei Chi:

"Our two thousand cavalry, how can we chase? Two legs chase four legs, you go and chase it, and besides, the military order we got is to hold on and wait for reinforcements, but you tell me what it means to hold on and what it means to disobey the military order."

The general turned his horse away, leaving Wei Chi sulking in the tent of the Chinese army that had been temporarily erected.

As the main general, he naturally has to obey the military order, as a Tang soldier, at this time, he can't wait to rush into the Turkic array alone to kill him, but unfortunately he is the one who can't be impulsive in this army.

I heard that the prince guarded the bridge alone, which really made him envious, it happened that the stupid boy in the family was about the same age as Li Chengyang, so he turned around and let them get close to him, and let Lao Cheng be beautiful.

Out of the camp, began to inspect the surroundings, the order Wei Chi received was a bluff, the camp of 20,000 people was full of 100,000 people, anyway, he had already seen through the reality of Jieli, he was not afraid of being seen flawed, as long as he could open the formation, he would have achieved his goal.

In the evening, Li Shimin received the news from Wei Chi, nodded with satisfaction, and sent someone to call Li Chengyang over.

"Dad, is there something big about you calling me over, you commanded, and I promise to do it for you."

Looking at Li Chengyang with a hippie smile, Li Shimin paused, took out Wei Chi's battle report and showed him: "The back road of the Turks is broken, and now the 200,000 troops have been dispersed, and the current Turks are the turtles in the urn, I plan to talk to Jieli early tomorrow morning, are you interested in joining me?" ”。

"Of course I'm interested, I just want to see what three heads and six arms Jieli has, how can I attack all the way in, and then I know in advance, don't admit it if you have the opportunity to arrest people in the future" Li Chengyang heard that he wanted to negotiate, and he was naturally overjoyed, Weishui Alliance, no one knows the specific content, what is recorded in the history books is that Li Shimin negotiated with the officials sent by Jieli alone, what is the specific content? I don't know, I only know that Li Shimin is ashamed of his life.

Now there is a chance to participate, just to satisfy his strong curiosity, and the other is to see if there are any greedy and forgetful people around Jieli, he plans to find some such people, if he can bury some nails around Jieli, it will be perfect.
