Chapter 612: The dove occupies the magpie's nest
The waters of the Great and Small Golden Rivers were dyed red, and the corpses of the Turks were floating everywhere.
Under the iron hooves of the Sui army, the Turks in the steppe were still defeated.
The grass under the Yin Mountain is dyed red.
Chase for hundreds of miles, all the way there are Turkic corpses.
The White City of the Turkic Khan's Court on the edge of the Golden River.
Upstairs in Baicheng, the Sui flag flutters.
Luo Cheng, the commander of the Loyal Army, who had just won another amazing victory, stood under the banner, and Princess Yicheng, dressed in palace clothes, stood side by side with him.
"Win beautifully!"
The princess looked sideways at the young man who had performed a miracle.
"There is nothing to praise, my loyal army of 20,000 elites, for the 50,000 old and weak left behind by the Turks, it is the strength of five or five open. What's more, I played a little trick, and those 8,000 Turkic captives greatly disturbed the hearts of the Dubi army, not to mention, I still have 3,000 iron horsemen in hand. ”
From the very beginning, he was very arrogant and arrogant, otherwise if he honestly gathered troops and horses to guard under the white city and fought according to the city, Luo Cheng would not have much chance at all.
Even if it is a hard victory, it is estimated that it will be a miserable victory.
But now, in the first battle, more than 12,000 levels were beheaded and 20,000 were captured, what a brilliant victory, not to mention, the two thousand light cavalry that were originally sent by Luo Cheng to intercept the rear turned out to be unexpectedly rewarded, and the Khan Court Baicheng was taken bloodlessly.
This is a real windfall.
If you attack hard, it will be difficult to take this city.
"You can always create such a miracle, when you went to Goguryeo, didn't you also go under the noses of more than 100,000 Goguryeo people, rushing thousands of miles to Pyongyang, breaking the king and capturing five thieves?"
Princess Yicheng, who is in her early thirties, has lived in the grassland for fourteen years, and has been lonely for fourteen years, and she has an indescribable good impression of this young Sui army commander.
"Thank you princess for reporting to Your Majesty, otherwise this time it may really be a successful sneak attack."
The princess sighed too.
"I don't know what's going on over there in Yanmen."
"I believe that there are 100,000 Xiaoguo troops guarding Yanmen, and they should be able to hold on, after all, there is still an army of Xiaoguo in Laoxian County, a hundred miles away, which can also contain many Turkic troops. After so many days, it is estimated that the Qin Wang army of the Governor of Beiping, Fan Yang Yin, Taiyuan Yin, Hebei Pacification Envoy, Hedong Pacification Envoy, Mo Nanjiedu Envoy, etc., should also arrive. ”
The princess said with a smile, "If Shibi hears that you Luo Cheng copied his Khan Court, he will definitely return north in a panic immediately." ”
"What are you going to do now? Do you continue to pursue Dubi? ”
"After this battle, 50,000 people were beheaded 12,000, 20,000 were captured, and less than 20,000 people were scattered all over the world.
If the Turks want to escape, it will be really difficult to chase them.
After all, once you cross the Yin Mountain, it is a vast desert, and it is not easy to cross this desert and the sea.
Besides, there's no point in chasing after him.
Since Luo Cheng has already occupied the Khan Court, of course, it is best to raid this place first.
"You're not going to go?" The princess was unexpected.
"Well, I'm going to wait here for Duji, since I'm here, then the land of Monan will no longer let Shi Bi occupy it. Back then, this place was placed by Emperor Wen to settle the defeated Qimin Khan, but now he has rebelled against my Great Sui, and there is no place for him in the south of Yinshan. ”
"But when he went south, there were 300,000 troops, even if he would lose some in Yanmen, he was still strong, so you weren't afraid that he would be outnumbered when he came?"
"Although I only have 20,000 horses, after this war, there are even more than 10,000 people, but princess, you led the people to righteousness, and there are also some Turks who abandon the darkness and turn to the light, so my strength does not decrease but increases. With this white city, there are still some guards of honor, not to mention that when I return to the north, my Great Sui army will also pursue the north, who will be strong and who will be weak? ”
"Aren't you afraid that Shi Bizhen will break through Yanmen?"
"If he really has this ability, even if I can't go now, if I don't have this ability, I don't have to go south."
Luo Cheng looked at the princess.
He is very grateful to this princess who has the Central Plains in her heart, after all, she has been married to the Turks for 14 years, married to both father and son, and it is not easy to stand in the position of the Sui Dynasty in this war.
"Princess, there may be a big war next, why don't I send someone to escort the princess back to Fanyang's Jicheng first, where it was originally Youzhou, then changed to Youzhou, this time it was changed to Fanyang Mansion, you go to Fanyang first, and then go south from Hebei to Luoyang to go home."
The word "go home" made the princess stunned.
Family.
This word was so far away to her, and how much she wanted to go back. But after staying for fourteen years, she knew that she couldn't go back, did she still have a home in the Central Plains, her father had died a long time ago, and there were still brothers in the Central Plains, but I was afraid that they were all so strange that they didn't know each other.
"I'd better stay here, even if I want to go back, it's better for me to go back with you."
The princess smiled and said to Luo Cheng and introduced him to someone. "I'm sure he'll help you."
Princess Yicheng introduced Luo Cheng to Ashina Simo.
Simo is very talented, but because of his appearance, he can't be trusted, and he has never been able to take charge of the military and set up his own tooth tent.
Although he is the son of the special service Ashina Liushe, he is always suspected of not being a real Ashina person.
"Can I trust you?"
Luo Cheng asked this Turkic agent, who was very Sogdian and Huxiang.
"Simo wants to ask the marshal not to kill the Turks on the steppe indiscriminately, but only a few people such as Shibi have resentment."
Luo Cheng smiled.
"I can promise you not to kill those captives, and I can also promise you not to sweep the Turks in Monan, but there is a precondition, that is, you can bring them to my Great Sui again, and now that the war is not over, I need you to lead them to fight with me against the rebel Turks such as Shibi, can you promise me?"
Simo hesitated.
He didn't want to be involved in such a civil war.
But he also understood that if he didn't agree, he was afraid that Luo Cheng would not agree to his request.
"General Simo, think about it, your words can save the countless Turkic people in Monan from the danger of breaking the family, what is there to hesitate about?"
Ashina Simo finally responded.
"Okay, now I will hand over those Turkic captives and the Turks in the city to you to manage, and I ask you to reorganize these Turks and assist me in guarding the White City together in preparation for the end of the war."
Ashnasimo is still a relatively trustworthy person.
In a few days, he gathered the captives, and even sent orders to the tribes in Monan to pacify the Turkic tribes and ask them to send warriors to Baicheng.
In a short period of time, Simo gathered more than 50,000 Turkic soldiers.
Luo Cheng organized them into five armies, with 100 commanders for every 100 people, 1,000 commanders for 1,000 people, and 10,000 commanders for 10,000 people. In hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands.
These more than 50,000 Turks were stationed around Baicheng, Luo Chengzi led more than 10,000 loyal troops to garrison Baicheng, and more than 3,000 Khitan and Xi troops were stationed outside the city.
Luo Cheng sent people to report to Yanmen on the one hand, and on the other hand, he reorganized his army for battle.
At that time, Luo Cheng didn't know what the battle situation was on Yanmen's side. Although in the siege of Yanmen in history, Shibi has not been able to capture the city, but Luo Cheng is also worried that he will change history because of his appearance.
"Wuji, your performance is very good, so I decided to promote you to the position of Captain of the Sixth Grade."
The eldest grandson Wuji was excited, thanked him loudly, and accepted the reward.
Li Shimin on the side was not only happy for this acquaintance, but also secretly had a little envy and jealousy in his heart.
