Chapter 211: Bing Feng
Chapter 235: Bing Feng
In the blink of an eye, October has quietly arrived.
Although it is autumn, the weather is still hot, especially on the Monan grassland, where the sunlit grassland is free up a slight heat wave, and even the air seems to be a little distorted.
On the grassland west of Dingxiang City, the grass is still green and lush, but if you look closely, you will find that the tips of the grass blades have begun to slowly turn yellow. The cattle and sheep all over the mountains are leisurely lowering their heads to nibble on the grass that is beginning to turn yellow.
The Turkic tent is located on this steppe, less than 100 miles away from Dingxiang City, and if the cavalry charges regardless of their horsepower, they can come in the morning and evening.
At this time, in the Turkic tent, Jieli Khan was sitting on the throne, and below him was the Turkic minister of civil and military affairs. Both Jieli and the ministers had a look of horror, trepidation, and anxiety on their faces, and looked at the simple map spread out on the central long table in disbelief.
"Great Khan, the Tang army has occupied the Evil Yang Ridge, and now the tiger is looking at Dingxiang, the Great Khan does not want to fight outside the city of Dingxiang, but wants to move his teeth to the mouth of the moraine, what a reason!" An old Turkic man with a white beard looked at Jieli Khan and asked loudly.
Jieli turned his head away, not looking at the old man's eagle-like gaze: "Where is the right Xian King, although Ben Khan wants to fight in the Tang army, but once our army is scattered, there are less than 30,000 available soldiers now, plus 20,000 in Dingxiang City, it is only 50,000 people, how can I eat the 30,000 elites of the Tang army." Besides, the Tang army has firearms to help, and the power is endless, and in the battle of Evil Yang Ridge, our army lost more than 10,000 people, and the Tang army was less than 1,000 people, which was the work of firearms. Also, although Li Jing only has 30,000 soldiers and horses, he dares to go deep alone, and no one knows how many soldiers and horses Li Jing has behind him? Did Datang raise an army to attack? Therefore, the right virtuous king, Ben Khan withdrew, it was forced to leave! ”
And the right-sage king, who was old but in good spirits, snorted coldly when he heard this: "How good Jieli was back then, like an eagle in the sky, flapping its wings and hitting the air; Like the wolf on the ground, unruly. But now, in the face of 30,000 Han people, we are about to retreat, and there is the blood and courage of my Ashina family! Could it be that ten years of comfortable and quiet life have drained your ambitions? ”
Jieli twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, trying not to look at the Right Xianwang, but at the other ministers.
Although this right virtuous king is Jieli's uncle, the Turks despise blood and only value strength. This right virtuous king has 50,000 troops in Longxi, all of whom are Turkic elites, which is enough to make him jealous. Therefore, he tried not to argue with this bad-tempered right-sage king.
The other ministers in the tent glanced at each other, and immediately there was a lot of discussion, some agreed to the decisive battle in Dingxiang, some advocated moving to the moraine, and so on.
And Jieli and Youxian Wang were silent, watching the ministers below arguing.
At this moment, a long voice came: "Report-"
As soon as they heard this voice, the ministers immediately fell silent. If you dare to break into the big tent at this time, something big must have happened.
The ranger who reported the news rushed into the big tent and knelt on the ground with a "poof": "Report to the Great Khan, Dingxiang City fell to the hands of the Tang army last night!" ”
"What!" Everyone in the tent exclaimed at the same time, and their eyes were all round, looking at the kneeling soldiers on the ground.
"I am sure that there are 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and it is so easy to be attacked by defending the city! When the time comes, our army will rush to the aid and attack inside and outside, and the Tang army will be able to attack there! Jieli stood up in a trance, muttered, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked the soldier, "By the way, General Kang Su Mikang, and General Bulu Ye Bulu, the two of them are veterans, how can they let the Tang army capture Dingxiang?" ”
The soldier didn't dare to look at Jieli's gaze that wanted to choose people, and lowered his head and said: "Kang Sumi surrendered to the Tang army, and opened the city gate to welcome the Tang army into the city." General Bulu was killed by Kang Sumi and the Tang Army united! ”
"What!" An even more high-pitched voice rang out.
"What about Ben Khan's Concubine Xiao?" When Jieli heard Kang Su's secret descending, he immediately thought of Empress Xiao who stayed in Dingxiang City, and hurriedly asked.
The soldier replied in a low voice: "Kang Sumi gave Niangniang to the Tang Army!" ”
Jieli's eyes suddenly turned red, and a low roar came out of his mouth: "Kang Sumi, Ben Khan will definitely break you into ten thousand pieces!" ”
Now that Dingxiang City has been lost, the argument with King Youxian just now has lost its meaning. The Right Virtuous King stood up gloomily and walked out of the big tent.
Jie Li finally calmed down the excitement in his heart, sat on the sweat seat, and commanded weakly: "Alas, you go down!" Tell the leaders of the tribes to pack up and set off overnight to go to the moraine! ”
All the ministers stood up in unison, saluted Jieli, and then slowly withdrew from the big tent.
The curtain fell, and Jieli supported his head with one hand, his brows furrowed.
In Dingxiang City, Li Jing was slowly walking in Dingxiang City with his own soldiers. The city of Dingxiang is no longer the same, the Turks are not used to living in brick walls and tiles, except for retaining some houses for the original Han people to live in, the houses in many places have been razed and felt houses have been built on them. Walking in Dingxiang City, you can vaguely see the road paved with gravel, the carved trunk of the pattern, and the blue bricks scattered in a corner. After so many years, the traces of the Han nationality have slowly faded.
This was originally a place for the Han people, but it was occupied by the Turks for so many years, and finally returned to the hands of the Han people.
Coming to Fengyi Palace, it has now become Li Jing's line, and the generals are standing in the courtyard waiting for Li Jing. Li Jing greeted them first, and then walked slowly into the hall.
The generals hurriedly followed.
After sitting down, Li Jing smiled and said: "Today's Dingxiang is all up to the generals to fight and fight, and the soldiers fight bloodily!" Thank you for your hard work! ”
The generals hurriedly said: "The chief manager is hard! ”
After the politeness, Li Jing stood up, pointed to the map spread out on the table, and said, "What do you think about the future battle?" ”
After Li Jing asked, all the generals were silent for a while, just staring at the map.
After a while, a general boldly said: "After these two battles, the victory of our army has been decided, and all that remains is to take advantage of the victory to pursue and expand the results!" ”
When this person's voice fell, many generals echoed it.
Li Jing asked: "Pursue while you win, how can you pursue while you win?" Who will take advantage of the victory to pursue? To what extent to expand the results of the war, to what extent, to drive the Turks to Mobei or to capture Jieli? ”
Once again, the congregation was silent. Li Jing looked at these generals and sighed slightly in his heart. Leading soldiers is noble and foolish, and leading generals is wise. Most of these generals in front of them are brave and unscrupulous, who only know how to fight on the battlefield, do not know strategy, and do not know how to change.
Listening to the discussion of these generals, Li Jing couldn't help but wander out of the world.
Finally, after nearly a quarter of an hour, the generals finally quieted down and looked at Li Jing in unison.
Li Jing said with some interest: "I summoned you here today, there are some things that need to be done!" First of all, it's about Nakang Sumi! He has a heavy army in his hands, which is really reassuring. So the old man decided to send him to Guanzhong Miansheng, and Empress Xiao also sent him back to Chang'an! Well, this is left to General Du Ziting. ”
When Du Ziting heard this, he immediately clenched his fists depressedly and took his life.
"Second, it is about those Turkic pawns, on the one hand, to soothe them and prevent the commotion, and on the other hand, to eliminate the die-hard elements among them. Well, leave this to General Lin, General Meng, and General Gao, and the three of you to do it! Remember, use your mouth more and use your knife less! ”
Three big men came out of the queue and clenched their fists to lead their lives.
"Finally, it's the pursuit of the Turks! This matter will be handled by the old man himself, and an order will be given when the time comes! ”
All the generals clasped their fists in unison and said, "Oh! ”
