Chapter 331: Attack
Soon after Qiao Baoming and Ashina Yunyun and his party left the Yaochi Governor's Mansion, Liang Jianfang and others claimed that Qiao Baoming, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, was attacked by Ashinabu, and his life and death were uncertain.
Liang Jianfang specially asked the governor of Yaochi, Ashina Helu, to return to Beijing with them and explain it to the emperor in person.
And allowed them to enter the city to search for the murderer, after all, someone found that the gang of gangsters who dared to attack the envoys of the Tang Dynasty had entered the city of the Yaochi Governor's Mansion.
Ashina Helu naturally couldn't agree to this rude request, and rejected Liang Jianfang's proposal without hesitation.
That is, he did not agree with them to go into the city to search and arrest, and he did not agree to go to Chang'an with them to meet the emperor, he was afraid that he would not return.
Everything that was done up until that point will be in vain.
Liang Jianfang, Qili He and others immediately sent troops to attack Ashina Helu.
Ashina Helu hurriedly issued an order to the ten Turks and others to come together and jointly besiege the Tang Hui coalition army led by Liang Jianfang.
For this battle, Luo Hongyi, the assassin of Tingzhou, also gave Li Chengqian a plan to crusade against Ashina Helu.
Luo Hongyi said in the recital: "To pacify the Central Plains, you need to use letters, and to control the envoy Yidi, you need to use power. ”
"The tribes such as Chumi and Chumukun may not be willing to work for Ashina Helu, they will inevitably watch from the wall when they see that the Tang army is strong."
"Now is the great time to exterminate Ashina Helu, and it is recommended to forgive the Yue, the Mi and other departments, and exterminate Helu. To remove evil, you must remove the roots, and do not cut off the branches and leaves first. ”
"Please transfer the troops of the Spleen, Chuyue, Chumi, Qibi and other departments, bring enough grain and grass for a month, and march quickly to attack Helu."
"Our army responded to the rescue by relying on Luoshui. This is a strategy to drive Rong Di to attack the jackals, and the Rong people borrowed our army as wings, so that Hu Cai was in front, and our army was responsible for breaking the rear, Ashina Helu had nowhere to escape. ”
In addition to these remarks, in order to get Li Chengqian's attention, Luo Hongyi attached a battle plan and reported it to Li Chengqian together with Song Shu.
After Li Chengqian saw it, he threw it aside, and Li Chengqian understood that Luo Hongyi's so-called strategy was useless at all.
In addition to the ten surnames, the Turks also have the Chuyue, the secret tribe, and some small countries in the Western Regions, who secretly support Ashina Helu, and they will never take refuge in the Tang Dynasty, but attack Ashina Helu.
As long as Ashina Helu ascends to the top, these people are likely to defect, and when the time comes, it will be the Tang Dynasty that will suffer.
The best thing to do is to deal with these tribes immediately, and by the time Ashina Helu reacts, it will be too late.
The Tang Dynasty, which had expected this result, had already been prepared, and after Liang Jianfang came to Mobei, he immediately sent someone to invite Zhu Xie, the leader of the Yuebu.
And at the banquet, Zhu Xie Guzhu and others were attacked and killed, and then completely controlled the situation of the Zhuyue Department, and re-elected a person with high prestige and loyalty to the Tang Dynasty to be the leader of the Zhuyue Department.
The sad Zhu Xie didn't expect that he was going to the Hongmen Banquet, he originally thought that he was just going to have a meal, but he didn't expect to be ordered to eat.
Zhu Xie didn't expect that Liang Jianfang would dare to hold a Hongmen banquet for him on the territory of the Yuebu in his place, and was killed by Liang Jianfang without any preparation.
Li Chengqian also issued an edict to let Lu Guogong Cheng bite Jin as the general manager of the march of the Green Mountain Road, and lead the generals to crusade against Ashina Helu.
Su Dingfang was appointed as the general manager of the Yili Dao march, and led Yan Ran to protect Ren Yaxiang, deputy to protect Xiao Siye, and Zuo Xiaowei's general Hanhai to supervise Hui Su Po Yan and others to join the queue of the crusade against Ashina Helu.
He also ordered the right Tunwei general Ashina Mi Shot and the left Tunwei general Ashina Buzhen to pacify the ambassadors of the quicksand road, and went out of Jinshan Road separately to surround Ashina Helu together.
and encircled and intercepted the people of the ten Turkic surnames, etc., and bought enough time for the right Xiaowei general Qibi He Li and others to exterminate Ashina Helu.
On the city wall where the Yaochi Governor's Mansion is located, a fierce siege battle is underway.
Because the Turkic army was not fully prepared, it did not expect the Tang army to suddenly attack, and was caught off guard by the army led by Liang Jianfang.
Under Liang Jianfang's calculations and surprise attacks, the Tang army soon attacked the city and fought against the Turkic army.
The Turkic army was defeated and retreated, and had to shrink its defensive line and move closer to the yamen of the Yaochi Governor's Mansion, hoping to hold back the Tang army with the last resistance and wait for the rescue of the tribal armies.
The Tang army's attack was extremely ferocious, not giving them any respite at all, and according to this progress, Ashina Helu would not wait for the arrival of reinforcements at all, and the whole army would be wiped out here.
"Khan! The Tang army and the Uighur army are attacking fiercely, and we are almost unable to resist it! Please also ask the Khan to break out immediately, and I will wait to protect the Khan to fight a bloody way. A Turkic general saluted.
"Bastard, you dare to shake the morale of the army, believe it or not, I can kill you now." Ashina Helu roared angrily, and was about to draw his sword and slash the general.
"Khan, never! Now that the enemy is currently in power, it is the time to employ people, and if we keep him, we will have a little more strength to resist the Tang army. A general hugged Ashina Helu Dao.
"Humph!" Ashina Helu snorted coldly and said, "This time, I will spare your dog's life first, if you dare to shake the heart of our army again, I will definitely not spare it." ”
"Xie Khan's grace not to kill!" The general said goodbye and withdrew.
"The Tang army is fierce, what should we do now? When will the soldiers and horses of the five Lu Lu and the five crossbows be lost, as well as the soldiers and horses of the Chuyue and Chumi departments, will arrive? Ashina Helu asked.
"I'm afraid they won't be able to come!" The general in charge of intelligence said.
"What? Can't come? Why on earth is this, are they unwilling to come to the rescue of Ben Khan? Ashina Horu roared angrily.
Without the assistance of these tribal armies, how could he fight against the army of the Tang Dynasty with the strength under his command alone.
Without reinforcements from various tribes, with his Ashina Helu's small number of troops, he still made a fart and simply surrendered.
"Khan, since the reinforcements from various tribes could not come to the rescue, the Khan still broke through immediately, went all the way to the west, captured the old land of the Ebilu Khan, and built a Yating in Qianquan."
"Then, let's gather the remnants again, maybe we still have a chance to fight the Tang Army to the end, and it's hard to say who will be the master of Mobei at that time." An obese general said.
"That's it! Let Kar lose and block the Tang army, and reasonably lead the troops and horses of his headquarters to break through with Ben Khan. "Ashina Helu said.
"Yes!" The generals were ordered, and he reasonably led the troops and horses of his headquarters to escort Ashina Helu out of the encirclement, and the others stayed behind to break the rear.
