When Li Dongsheng followed the charge yesterday, he didn't feel the excitement at all. It was only when he stopped that he realized that his heart was beating so badly that his palms were full of sweat, and if it wasn't for the cloth wrapped around the handle of the knife, the knife would have slipped long ago. He was like a student who scored 100 points for the first time, and wanted to be proud of his results to let others know, but unfortunately he was ruined by Wang San's words.

Not long after he walked out of the tent, he heard the soldiers in front of the Chinese army tent blowing the horn, which was a military order to summon the officers, and the camp suddenly became agitated. Many soldiers hurriedly walked towards the tent, and the footsteps were hurried. Li Dongsheng also saw Xue Li, the blood on his body was estimated to be too much, and the battle armor was not replaced, which looked a little disgusting, but Li Dongsheng didn't care, he asked in a low voice: "How many did you kill yesterday?" ”

Xue Li: "I didn't count, anyway, I just rushed with it, and I don't know how many." ”

The head of Dingxiang City is full of dense Turkic soldiers, they do not have uniform clothing, all are leather robes of various colors, oily, not afraid of the cold and even bare-chested, the weapons in their hands are also various, and there is no unified system, knives, forks, swords, halberds, pointing and pointing on the city wall, looking like a group of bandits, where there is a little bit of elite division feeling.

However, this was the powerful Turkic people, who completed their unification in 552 and established the Turkic Khanate with Mobei as the center. After that, the Turkic Khanate gradually developed and expanded, and its territory expanded from the Liaohai Sea in the east, the Caspian Sea in the west, the Gobi in Mongolia in the south, and Lake Baikal in the north, with a length of 10,000 miles from east to west and 5,6000 miles from north to south. Khanting (capital) was located in Dujin Mountain (now the north mountain of Hangai Mountain in the upper reaches of the Orkhon River)

The powerful Turkic states were neighbors to the Northern Qi, Northern Zhou, and Sui dynasties, and often had border conflicts, and after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks continued to harass the interior and plunder population and wealth. The Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan personally led an army of 150,000 to attack and annex the state, capturing more than 5,000 men and women; He also led more than 100,000 cavalry to plunder Shuozhou and attack Taiyuan; Moreover, when Tang Taizong Li Shimin had just ascended the throne, he led 200,000 troops to the north of the Weishui Bridge outside Chang'an, the Tang capital, and forced Li Shimin to sign the Weishui Alliance. It is the real henchman of the Han people.

I only heard a voice from behind: "Sweating profusely." ”

The crowd on the city wall was separated on both sides, and Jieli, Zhao Deyan, Kang Sumi, and others walked up to the city and looked towards the camp. I saw the banner of Datang raised in the camp. There is a tallest flag in the middle of the big camp, and the Chinese character Li is written on it.

Jieli was taken aback: "It was Li Jing who personally led the troops last night?" ”

Zhao Deyan said: "It's hard to say, maybe it's Li Shiyun." ”

Kang Sumi smiled and said: "National teacher, you are wrong, Li Jing is in Mayi, come the fastest, Li Shiyun is in the clouds, and our spies have not found any signs of his dispatch." ”

Zhao Deyan glanced at the triumphant Kang Sumi and did not speak. Seeing the herdsmen carrying the dead bodies in the camp, and seeing the surviving herdsmen crying about the atrocities of the Tang army yesterday, he said angrily: "Great Khan, I don't think there are many people in the Tang army, so it is better for me to take 5,000 soldiers and horses out to kill them by surprise." ”

Kang Sumi said: "Stubborn and unconscious, you are still so impulsive, you see that the Tang army camp is not chaotic at all, and there are no people to defend, I wonder if they deliberately used these people as bait to lure us out of the city to attack, they should have an ambush nearby, and then flank the front and back." ”

"You coward, you know how to bewitch the Great Khan. What a wise and martial person the Great Khan used to be, and what did you make of it? This sentence offended Jieli, Zhao Deyan, Kang Sumi, etc.

Zhao Deyan was in turmoil in the Central Plains, and he went north to the Turks. It was reused by Jieli Khan, and the Turkic customs were simple and the governance was simple. Jieli Khan followed Zhao Deyan's advice and strengthened the khan's power, and his laws were strict, which made the Turkic chiefs dissatisfied. The Turkic tribes began to betray Jieli Khan, and Basu's words were directly equivalent to pointing at Zhao Deyan's nose and scolding him for being a traitor.

Kang Sumi is a Sogdian, he has been doing business with the Turks in the Western Regions for a long time, because he can speak and understand the Tao is very popular with Jieli Khan, he knows that Jieli likes Empress Xiao of the Tang Dynasty very much, so he dedicates the treasures of the Western Regions to Empress Xiao, so he eats very well in the Eastern Turks. I was scolded once last night, and today I scolded in front of so many people, and the clay man also has three points of earthiness: "Stubborn thinking, don't talk nonsense, I respect the sweat and don't want to have a conflict with his soldiers, this doesn't mean that I'm afraid of you, you give me politeness." ”

"You businessman still want me to be polite, believe it or not, I'll kill you." Lost thinking is ready to draw a knife.

"That's enough." Jieli's face was ugly, "Don't make trouble if you are obsessed, what do so many people look like." ”

"But..." I am still very unconvinced.

"Now you should think about how to repel the Tang army outside the city, what are you arguing about." Jieli was very annoying, he just told Zhao Deyan a few days ago that it was impossible for the Tang Army to go out in heavy snowy weather, and now he was slapped in the face, the main thing is that he is afraid.

He is no longer the younger brother of the Ashina Khan who was in his prime, wise and martial. At that time, he was a hero praised by everyone on the grassland. After the death of Chuluo Khan, he personally explained to Princess Yicheng of the Great Sui that it was powerful, Princess Yicheng thought that Ashinao shot the ugly appearance and weak body, not like the male lord, did not set it up as the khan, but set up Ashina as the Great Khan, called the Jieli Khan......, at the beginning of the throne, he went to the east and the west to fight, and the Xue Yantuo and other tribes who fought bowed down to the courtiers, and the Tang Dynasty was also willing to bow down, and had to offer money and goods to seek peace. But now he only thinks about a peaceful life, and when he sees Tang Jun, who has a solemn appearance, he has fear in his heart.

Of course, the Turks on the wall didn't know what Jieli was thinking now, and they still wanted to rush out of the city and give the Tang army a little color. Jieli thought for a while and said: "You can't be impulsive, whether it is Li Jing or Li Shiyun, they are both famous generals, they never fight uncertain battles, and now that they are here, they must be prepared." We still have to be careful to deal with it, the heavy snow covers the mountains, and there will definitely not be enough food and grass for so many of them, so we will wait. ”

Kang Sumi bowed his head and said: "The Great Khan is wise, the Tang army is far away, the terrain is not familiar, it must be tired, we can't defend Dingxiang City, those Tang people will not last long under the cold and freezing, waiting for the lack of supply from the Tang people, that is when we send troops."

"Kang Sumi is the same as I thought, now you go back and immediately gather your respective tribesmen and horses, and concentrate towards Dingxiang City, as long as the Tang people have no provisions, they won't last long, and it will be easy for us to defeat them."

Jieli waved his hand and said: "Now that the jackals have broken into our grassland, all we have to do is to pick up the bow and arrow and kill them, but now is the time of heavy snow, and all we can do is to persevere." ”
