Chapter 27 Cutting off its way out
Dumozhi glanced at this subordinate coldly, shook his head and said: "I know what you think, no matter what happens to the second prince, the capture of Dingxiang is a great achievement, but how can the merit fall from the sky like this?" When the expedition was approaching, the Khan had told me that the greatest purpose of this trip was to oppress the Tang people and force the Tang people to agree to the proposal of peace and proximity when they had no time to look north, and never start a war with the Tang Dynasty. ”
After a pause, he looked at the generals under his command, and said in a deep voice: "The Tang Dynasty is rich and strong, that emperor sits firmly in Chang'an, and there are millions of soldiers in the country, once it is provoked, how can Xue Yantuo be able to compete?" Don't forget, just more than ten years ago, it was here that the Eastern Turkic Khanate, which once dominated the steppe desert, was defeated by the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop, and a generation of male lords, Jieli Khan, was also a prisoner of the ranks, and finally died of illness in Chang'an! Ladies and gentlemen, is Xue Yantuo now even more powerful than the Eastern Turks more than ten years ago? ”
The crowd will be silent.
Where is this comparable?
At that time, the Eastern Turks spanned the east and west, the north and south, the territory was vast, the hundred tribes were tamed, and the people who controlled the strings were hundreds of thousands, and when Jieli Khan led the army south to Weishui, the troops led by him reached 200,000, all of which were the elite of the elite.
At the same time, the number of troops guarding the Yinshan Tent far exceeded this.
On the high horse.
However, even though Xue Yantuo is boasting of being strong, the total number of troops is only more than 200,000, which is only the number of troops led by Jieli Khan in one expedition......
Even the Eastern Turks, who were so majestic in the desert, were defeated by the Tang Dynasty, and even the Khan became a prisoner, imprisoned in the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and was not allowed to return to the grassland when he died.
It is conceivable that once Xue Yantuo really angered the Tang Dynasty and forced the Tang Dynasty to start a war against Xue Yantuo regardless of it, what kind of desperate situation the seemingly powerful Xue Yantuo would face......
Yu Du Jun Mountain seems to be very far away, but first there is Huo Quai, Feng Wolf Juxu, and then there is Dou Xianle Shi Yanran, when the Han Dynasty is strong, it has always been able to raid thousands of miles.
Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away!
The current Tang Dynasty is afraid that it is stronger than the Han Dynasty back then!
Whether it is Xue Yantuo or the Turks, it is not a big deal to engage in some small actions to plunder the Han land, but if it is a full-scale war with the Tang Dynasty, there is only one way to die.
Now Dadu has set up a ghost to obsessed his mind, and actually wants to pursue the Turks and then slaughter them under the Yanmen Pass, which is bound to arouse the anger of the Tang Dynasty, how can the arrogant Tang army sit idly by?
A big war is inevitable.
If he generously disobeyed the Khan's orders, then let him go back and accept the Khan's punishment, if he captured Dingxiang City, he would inevitably be said to be in collusion with Dadu, wouldn't it be equivalent to sharing the blame for Dadushe?
"Don't say more, obey the order, and pull out the camp!"
Lama explained and ordered with a cold face.
"No!"
The generals didn't dare to ask any more questions, so they hurriedly walked out of the big tent, gathered their soldiers, and prepared to pull out the camp.
Timach was worried.
His relationship with Bazhuo has always been bad, and he is much closer to Dadushe, but in the current situation, he is powerless, who knows what madness Dadushe had, and he actually pursued the Turks closely, vowing to slaughter them all and exterminate the clan in one fell swoop?
All he could do was to return to the Baidao River immediately and hold the mountain pass tightly.
If Dadu sets his fate, he may be able to escape back alive and respond by himself, if Dadu sets his fate to die at the Yanmen Gate, then he also has to guard against the Tang army to take advantage of the victory to pursue, directly cross the Baidaochuan River into the north of Yin Mountain, and go straight into the hinterland of Xue Yantuo......
*****
In Dingxiang City, Xue Rengui lay behind the arrow stack and watched Xue Yantuo's people slowly retreat north in a neat formation after pulling out the camp, and he felt a little regretful in his heart.
Led more than 10,000 cavalry to open Xue Yantuo's scouts and infiltrated the already empty Dingxiang City unconsciously, preparing to take advantage of Xue Yantuo's intention to attack Dingxiang City when they were greedy for merit, and suddenly counterattacked, and hit a surprise attack, but he never thought that the general of Xue Yantuo who stayed behind in the camp was so calm, instead of attacking the empty Dingxiang City, he pulled out the camp and retreated north.
"General, what should I do? Or just chase them up, they won't be able to run fast with heavy grain anyway! ”
Gao Kan licked his lips and made a suggestion.
Now it's not a question of who starts the war first, Dadu set up a large army to chase and kill the Turks, and now he has gone deep into the border of the Tang Dynasty for dozens of miles, crossing the Evil Yang Ridge and approaching Yanmen Pass, which has already violated the bottom line of the Tang Dynasty.
If you can attack and kill this Xue Yantuo people, it can be regarded as a great achievement......
"Can't run fast anyway?" Xue Rengui muttered and repeated, his eyes lit up, he looked up at the sky, and ordered: "Although I am not afraid of fighting with Xue Yantuo, there will definitely be casualties, why not use my own strengths and attack the enemy's shortcomings?" The order went down, and the whole army abandoned the city and went out from the east gate, and made a detour to arrive at the Baidaochuan Pass before the Xue Yantuo people, without delay! ”
Gao Kan was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and raised his thumb: "The general is a good plan!" ”
Suddenly, he remembered something and asked: "It is reported that the governor of Shan Yu Prefecture sent by the imperial court is about to arrive in Mayi, and he may come to Dingxiang soon, will he take the opportunity to make trouble at that time?" ”
Dingxiang City is the place where the Protectorate is located, and the Governor of the Metropolitan is Ashina Simo.
Although Xue Yantuo was in Koubian, he never used force, and the court was afraid that a war with Xue Yantuo would affect the plan of the Eastern Expedition, so it had always strictly restrained the border army and was not allowed to conflict with Xue Yantuo. Even before Fang Jun came to Mayi, he had been ordered by His Majesty Li Er not to provoke disputes.
In case the long history of the Shan Yu Duhu Mansion came to Dingxiang and found that it was only an empty city, the entire Monan was almost a mess, and the forces of all parties poured into each other completely deviated from the strategy formulated by the court, and reported to the emperor in a fit of anger, I am afraid that since Fang Jun and below, everyone should not want to have good fruits to eat......
Xue Rengui sneered disdainfully: "The long history of the Duhu Mansion alone? Hmph, don't care what he says, first of all, he needs to have a chance to come to this Dingxiang City......"
Gao Kan didn't know who the long history of Shan Yu Duhufu was, how could he Xue Rengui not know?
Although Xiao Siye is a child of the Xiao family and has an in-law relationship with Fang Jun, Xue Rengui knows that the guy has added a lot of blockages to Fang Jun in the Xiao family, according to Fang Jun's temperament, it is rare not to kill that guy for the sake of relatives, and he still wants to come to Dingxiang City to be powerful and give orders?
Want to drop beauty......
"Don't worry so much, just do what you want!"
"No!"
Gao Kan didn't ask any more, since he had fulfilled his duty of reminding, how to choose was Shangguan's business, and he didn't have to think about it.
When he hurriedly turned around and got off the city wall, he gathered his soldiers and prepared to set off.
The Xue Yantuo people carried a lot of baggage, and it was naturally impossible for the army to get up quickly, so they arrived at the Baidaochuan Pass before them to do an ambush, block the road for the Xue Yantuo people to return to Mobei, and occupy favorable terrain to wait for the Xue Yantuo people to attack, wouldn't it be better than the effect of a field battle in the wilderness?
Anyway, Bai Daochuan must be firmly in the hands of the Tang Army!
Immediately, Xue Rengui also got off the city wall, stepped on his war horse, and led 10,000 cavalry out of the city from the east gate, making a big bend, but he still arrived at the Baidaochuan Pass before Xue Yantuo, who was marching slowly.
It's been a whole night......
Before dawn, the heavy snow finally stopped, the dark clouds in the sky had dispersed, the morning light was slightly dewed, standing on the mountain pass and looking at the Baidao River, the white expanse.
"White Road", in the north of the Eile River, not far from the abandoned Northern Wei Dynasty capital Shengle, the majestic and precipitous Daqing Mountain stands here, and the entire Yinshan Mountain Range is one, isolating the north and south. However, there is no endless road, and in the midst of this natural danger, there is a mountain and river called "Baidao River".
The inhabitants who have lived here for generations have carved out a passage with their own hands, and the soil of the mountain is white-gray to pave the road, and every spring and summer, the road is lined with lush green hills, and the road is monologue, hence the name. The white road winds and turns, stretching for dozens of miles, coiling on the Daqing Mountain, like a long centipede crawling from the mountainside to the top of the high mountain.
There are ruins of city walls on the mountain, which is the Great Wall built by King Wuling of Zhao.
During the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou dynasties, the Turks arose in the Mobei grassland, and nomadic herded to the south, expelling the Eile tribes from Monan, and the Eilechuan south of Baidao was also commonly known as Baidaochuan.
Baidao is located in the hidden dragon and crouching tiger on the big green mountain, the big green mountain is majestic and upright, the terrain is dangerous, traversing the Yin Mountain, it is the throat of the north-south traffic, therefore, the white road has always been a military pass, is the place where soldiers must fight.
In the third to fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing and Xu Shiji led more than 100,000 male soldiers to join Baidaochuan, and defeated the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan at Baidaokou, overthrowing the Eastern Turks in one fell swoop.
Xue Rengui stood at the foot of the mountain, looked at the snow-capped Baidaokou, and waved his hand.
The flag waved behind him, and a team of soldiers rode their horses to take advantage of the dim sky, and the horses with chews quietly went down the mountain road towards the not spacious mountain pass.
