Chapter 212: Plotting, Ashina
On Li Ji's side, as soon as he received the order sent back by King Qin, he immediately organized people to prepare to leave the customs.
The selection of candidates for the left-behind side really gave him a headache for a long time, Cheng Biting Jin, who was not stingy, and Duan Zhixuan, who had a tendon, were not easy to fool, and the veterans couldn't wait to get out of the customs and fight to the death with the Turkic dogs!
Further down, it is Su Dingfang and Liu Renliang, who have made meritorious contributions to the counterinsurgency before, these two are also full of hope in their eyes, and they don't want to become "left-behind" personnel at all.
looked at Su Dingfang, who was biased towards fierce generals, Liu Renliang was more stable and scholarly.
"Ren Rail, this time you stay in Suzhou City, I will leave you 8,000 elite soldiers, and everything will obey His Highness's orders."
Liu Renliang wanted to cry without tears, why did this plot give him a sense of déjà vu.
He had heard this last year, and it was when he went with His Royal Highness King Qin to calm the chaos.
Looking at Su Dingfang, who was stealing fun on the side, Liu Renliang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Subordinates listen to orders!" ”
There were a total of 25,000 people in the army that came to help, and there were more than 4,000 elite soldiers left in Suzhou City, Li Ji divided the army into two, and then handed over 8,000 to Liu Renliang, and the remaining 17,000 people set off in full gear.
Li Ji also went to visit Wei Zheng, who was seriously ill, this old man had just returned to Suzhou, and he was "cared for" by the generals.
I heard the returning sergeants report that Wei Heizi actually carried a knife to the battlefield to kill the Turks!
"Li Ji, you must make those Turkic dogs look good!"
After Wei Heizi said this to Li Ji, he fell asleep, it seemed that the previous physical and mental consumption was too great, and it took time to recover.
In the end, watching the team escorting Wei Zheng back to Chang'an leave, Li Ji waved his hand, went out of the customs, and looked for the King of Qin!
On the way, seeing the scorched earth turned into by many Turkic tribes after being washed in blood by the Tang army, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Su Dingfang sighed and said, "Will His Highness's methods be too ruthless?" ”
Cheng Zhijie said hatefully: "A group of damned jackals, it is also a disaster to keep them, if Your Highness doesn't do this, how can you be worthy of the undead in Ganzhou and Suzhou?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Su Dingfang suddenly lost his temper.
After seven days of travel, they found the tribe where King Qin was, and when they entered, everyone's eyes widened.
"A lot of war horses!"
Densely packed, everywhere, a famous Tang Army soldier shuttles in it, which makes people look extremely shocking.
"English Princess!"
Qin Huaiyu greeted him from afar, and Li Ji nodded and said, "Take me to see His Highness." ”
"Yes!"
Walking around a dozen tents and coming to an open space, Li Fangchen was shirtless, dancing with a spear in his hand.
"Your Highness, the British Duke has arrived!"
Li Fangchen subconsciously put away the movements on his hands, and picked up a piece of cloth to wipe away the sweat.
"British Duke, if you are two days slower, this king will probably take people out of here."
Li Ji hurriedly explained: "Your Highness is aware of it, although there are people to guide the way, most of our army are foot soldiers, and the speed will naturally be much slower!" ”
Li Fangchen waved his hand and asked Qin Huaiyu to lead them to the tent, clean up by themselves, and then arrive.
After a while, Li Fangchen, who scrubbed the sweat on his body and changed into a suit of armor, appeared in the handsome tent.
"His Royal Highness King Qin!"
The generals saluted, Li Fangchen nodded, then sat on the main seat, and said to everyone: "Later, a part of the horses will be divided, so that all the sergeants under the British Duke can be replaced by cavalry, and the next target of this king is the largest tribe in the Western Turks, the Ashina clan!" ”
Originally, the khans of the Western Turks came from this clan.
With a population of about 200,000, as a nomadic people, it can be called a behemoth.
This is where the Mo He set of the Tang Dynasty came from.
When the generals heard this, their faces were slightly excited, before the merger of the Eastern and Western Turks, the Ashina clan was called the royal family of the Western Turks.
If it can be defeated, the major Turkic western tribes behind will have no second way but to surrender.
"Your Highness, what do you say, I Lao Cheng will support you!"
Cheng Zhijie took the lead in expressing his position, and the rest of the people agreed.
Li Ji hesitated, "Your Highness, the way you treated those tribes before, should you also use it on the Ashina clan?" ”
Li Fangchen shook his head and said: "No, if this is the case, we are afraid that we will have to face the strong resistance of all the tribes of the entire Turkic, let's kill half of it this time, if the other party is interested, it is better to surrender early." ”
If you don't know what's interesting, you'll have to die halfway, right?
Listening to the domineering in these words, the generals' faces were slightly strange.
Li Ji asked again, "What is Your Highness's plan?" ”
Looking at Li Ji's curious appearance, Li Fangchen did not hide it, but said bluntly.
"After the Ashina division is finished, you and I will divide the troops, plus the remaining young men of the Ashina department, let them form an alien cavalry. I'll take it to you, and in half a year, you must put the western half of the Turks into my Tang Dynasty map, and if you don't accept it, you will be killed to set an example! ”
It's not enough to be subdued, and they have to raise an army to help Datang?
Moreover, to use the Turkic cavalry to continue the attack on the Turkic tribes?
Your Highness, you are really ...... It's great!
With calculations, oh no, it should be said that it was the goal set by the King of Qin, and the generals had the bottom in their hearts, at least they didn't have to worry about them becoming a butcher completely, raiding their homes and exterminating their clans in the Turkic territory.
The previous war was nothing more than the revenge of the Tang Dynasty against the Turks, who let them slaughter the city of the Tang Dynasty first and hurt the lives of my people?
"Subordinate, listen to orders!"
At this point, all the generals have stepped forward to receive orders, as for whether the Ashina clan will form a cavalry to help the Tang Dynasty?
They don't care, the worst result is to kill half of them, wouldn't it be better to kill all the disobedient?
How can there be so many hard bones in the world, not to mention the Tianwei of Datang, which is inviolable!
When the Turks are frightened and instigated, Datang will completely turn it into the land of Datang, and no one will be dissatisfied.
At that time, in addition to glad that they had escaped, they were only left with awe from the bottom of their hearts for the Tang people.
The armor in Li Fangchen's army before was basically damaged, and many weapons were dull.
Just by waiting for Li Ji to arrive, he re-polished it, otherwise if he continued to fight, the knife would not be able to kill anyone.
By the way, the armor of the whole army was trimmed, and there were no blacksmiths in the army, so a group of bad men had to do it themselves, and used hammers to re-level some of the depressions.
Next, there is the real Zongma steppe, which is rampant among the Turks.
Those who dare to anger the Tang Dynasty will not be killed!
The two armies converged, and an army of nearly 40,000 people marched mightily towards the Ashina tribe.
There were Turkic spies on the way, Li Fangchen did not let his subordinates capture and kill them, but told the other party generously, your nightmare is coming!
The son of Moheshe, who was the temporary khan of the Ashina tribe, was familiar with Ashina, and his face was full of eagerness.
"Are they crazy? has slaughtered more than six of our Turkic tribes, is this still the Tang Dynasty? ”
Subconsciously, he still didn't believe that this was actually done by the Tang Dynasty who advertised benevolence.
In the past, the Turks committed Tang, didn't they rely on a few good words and pretending to surrender on the surface, so that the other party could withdraw their troops?
"What are they going to do, are they really going to kill the Turks?"
The crazy roar of the Don Lite E, without half the idea of raising troops to avenge his father, the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army was too terrifying.
6,000 to 60,000 has already scared the courage of Gulite, and he doesn't want to die yet!
