Chapter 846: Jieli Raid

There was good news and bad news from the Loop.

The good news is that Yun Dingxing retreated to Jiuyuan County after fighting with Luo Siye, and expressed his willingness to return, and now he is sending an envoy to send a book of tables and books, etc., in fact, he wants to ask for some rewards.

This Luo Cheng doesn't matter, it's not a problem to give him a knighthood and give him an official position, he can recover Jiuyuan Yulin and other places without fighting, this is a draw.

But there's also bad news.

Jieli Khan Ashina must go south, and the Liang divisions of Shuofang all paid tribute to Jieli, and were awarded the title of Dadu Vika Khan by Jieli. Liang Shidu actively invited Jieli to go south and was willing to be his leading party.

At this time, Jieli is no longer the one who defeated Luo Cheng a few years ago and left Mobei in a panic. Luo Cheng has been developing in the past few years, and he is also developing.

After escaping back to Mobei, the Great Sui regained control of Monan, and the Sui Dynasty also set up Ashina Lifu, the second brother of Shibi Khan, as Chuluo Khan, who was actually a puppet of the imperial court.

On the other hand, Luo Cheng asked Xue Yantuo to establish a country in Mobei, awarded Yi Lost Bowl as Khan, and let him lead the Tiele people and Dubi to attack and kill in Mobei.

I have to say that in fact, there is still some strength.

The Tiele tribes led by Xue Yantuo established their own khanate and fought to the death with Jieli. On the other hand, Luo Cheng had previously divided ten Turkic Khan princes and brothers, all of whom had been Turkic Khans in their ancestors, and they were also regarded as the Khan's successors.

The original intention was to let them divide the Turks so that they could disperse.

Who knows, they are very willing to be the Turkic set up of this divided party, but Jieli has brutally defeated the Tiele people in the past few years, and pulled and beat the Zhushe, and the ten sets were either subdued by him or beaten away by him.

Although there are still many tribes in Mobei who still oppose Jieli, Jieli has not been beaten by Luo Cheng for several years, but his strength is far stronger than when he was defeated by Luo Cheng in Dingxiang.

At that time, he was only a setup, and now he calls himself the Turkic Jieli Khan.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, Jieli had long wanted to go south to avenge his blood hatred.

Now that Liang Shi is willing to be the leader of the party, Jieli hurriedly led the army south.

"Jieli attacked Dingxiang, Shunguo Gong Luo Simo was defeated, and many Monan Turks fell to Jieli again, and now the soldiers are besieging Dingxiangcheng."

'These Turkic wolf cubs, there are really few who are familiar with them. Wang Junkuo, the squire of the military department, even simply said that Luo Simo was also secretly colluding with Jieli.

"Where's the Khan?"

Chuluo Khan fell into the hands of Jieli and was already killed by him.

Although Jieli and Chu Luo are brothers, but Li Fushi is the Turkic Khan established by Luo, with him, he will always be unjustifiable, this guy succeeded in a surprise attack and caught Chu Luo Khan, who had no time to run away, so he was unceremonious and simply killed him.

"It's careless, I was originally going to let Chuluo Khan come to Luoyang." Luo Cheng sighed, Luo Khan in the Eastern Turk was dead, and Luo Khan in the West of Chang'an City was also poisoned by Li Yuan not long ago.

Li Yuan killed Luo Khan of the Western Turks, the reason was to get the support of the Western Turks and the Khan, in order to get him to send troops to help, so he poisoned the Luo Khan, who had been stranded in Chang'an after the defeat and surrender to Sui.

The two Luo Khans died.

Now the Eastern Turks are headed by Jieli, and the Western Turks are headed by Shot.

The Khan was still in the Western Regions for the time being, and his hand was not stretched out, but Jieli had already led 200,000 troops south and crossed the Yin Mountain to raid Dingxiang.

"General Siye has led his army back to Dingxiang." The messenger said.

"Zhao Liu Wuzhou led the army of Mayi Yanmen to the north to reinforce Dingxiang!"

There are more than 20,000 people under Luo Simo, more than 20,000 people under Luo Siye, and 40,000 or 50,000 people in Mayi Yanmen, adding up to 100,000 troops, which is enough to fight a defensive counterattack.

"As for Yun Dingxing of Jiuyuan, I awarded him the title of Founding Marquis of Lantian County and the title of Imperial Servant."

For the defeated general Jieli of his former subordinates, Luo Cheng did not show any panic and anxiety, when Bi Khan invaded the south with 400,000 yuan, and finally died under his hands, now a single subordinate defeated Jieli, what is there to worry about?

He didn't even use the soldiers and horses south of Yanmen Pass, let alone the soldiers and horses in Henan and outside the pass.

In his opinion, the Turkic Jieli Khan's offense, like the remnants of Goguryeo on the Korean Peninsula, was just ringworm of the hands and feet, and it was by no means a problem for his henchmen, and it did not threaten him.

However, Jieli's invasion at this time still disrupted some of Luo Cheng's deployment plans.

Originally, it was planned that after Henan Hedong settled down, after the weather was cool in autumn, he would attack Guanzhong in several ways, destroy Li Yuanxian who was injured in one fell swoop, and then turn back to gnaw on Dou Jiande's hard bone.

But now the Kanwai Army is encircling the remnants of Goguryeo on the Korean Peninsula, and it is also necessary to watch out for Baekje and Silla.

At this time, Jieli invaded the south, and Luo Siye's Liu Wuzhou army went to meet the battle, but the defensive strength of Dou Jiande in Hebei was inevitably insufficient.

"Wuguan is stationed in 8,000, Hongnong is stationed in 8,000, Puban is stationed in 8,000, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are disarmed and returned to their hometowns first."

Since it is not possible to continue the strategy for the time being, there is no need to continue to station these three large armies on the border of Guanzhong, and disbanding most of the troops and horses can save a large supply of grain and grass, which can reduce a great burden at the moment when the Central Plains was initially decided.

Not to mention, after disbanding most of the soldiers and horses, these government soldiers returned to the original military government station, even if they were not on duty in the government, they could cultivate at home and be on call, and they could still enrich the defense of all parts of the Central Plains, and they could play a defensive role in Dou Jiande in Hebei, Xiao Milling in Jianghan, and Lin Shihong in Jiangnan.

"Send a messenger to Guanzhong again and tell Li Yuan that I will give him one last chance."

"Send a messenger to Dou Jiande again, thinking of the old feelings, I hope he can adapt to the times and lead his troops to donate land to attach. If he comes to vote, I will confer on him the title of Marquis of Changle, and he will not lose his position as a minister. ”

Wang Junkuo and many other generals shouted that there was no need at all, just fight directly.

One by one, they directly asked Ying to fight, saying that if they gave themselves a soldier and horses, they would be able to set foot in Chang'an and capture Li Yuan alive. The one who said that if he gave him a soldier and horses, he would be able to sweep away the generals of Hebei and mention Dou Jiande's head to see him.

However, Luo Cheng was not confused by their few words.

Although the Qin army was unstoppable all the way, in just a few years, the speed of expansion was too fast.

Last year, it just swallowed Huainan and Shandong, and half of Hebei, and this year it took Hedong and Henan.

Not to mention, fighting in several directions, the Qin army's strength can still be maintained, but it is already a little dangerous, and it is easy to give others an opportunity to take advantage of, not to mention, the most critical thing in fighting a war is the supply of logistics grain and grass.

Now that a large number of hungry people in Hedong and Henan are still waiting for food relief, how can Luo Cheng have the spare strength to mobilize grain to go west to Guanzhong to support a big battle in Pingguanzhong.

It's better to be a little more stable, and after this wave eases down, at least after the autumn harvest, when the land east of Henan and Hedong no longer needs to transport grain from the rear to help the people, then there will be more strength to fight Li Yuan.

"Your Majesty, good news, Yang Shilin and Tian Zan led the four counties of Handong to join my Daqin, and Dong Jingzhen of Changsha was originally going to vote, but he was defeated by Zhang Xiu of Xiao Milling."

"Your Majesty, south of the Han River and north of Changhan, there is only half of the southern county and one Xiangyang County left in the north of the river, congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty."

All the officials congratulated in unison.

In the Hanjiang River Basin, now there is only one Hanchuan County and one Xiangyang County that has not yet returned to Qin, after the Yangtze River leaves Baling Kuimen, only half of the South County and one Xiangyang are still in the hands of Xiao Milling on the north bank, and the rest flows east to the sea, and the north bank is all returned to Qin.
