Chapter 212
Li Yaowei broke through Jining City, and after the rectification, he took these thousands of prisoners and rushed to Dingxiang City.
"General Li is really a god, three thousand horsemen are scared of Jieli's guts!"
Li Jing laughed, "It's also a lot of Yan Gong to attack the city!" ”
Li Yaowei waved his hand, "Don't dare to be, now Jieli should have fled to the west." ”
"Hmm." Li Jing nodded, "We should meet Chai Shao, let's do something else first." ”
Li Jing sent a few people to act as spies and quietly carry out the work of plotting rebellion and discord.
Within a few days, a group of people came outside.
Kang Sumi, the confidant general of Jieli Khan, was successfully rebelled and led people to surrender, and Li Jing smiled from ear to ear.
"General Kang!"
What surprised Li Jing even more was that Emperor Yang of Sui's empress Xiao and grandson Yang Zhengdao were also among them.
"Empress Xiao."
"People who have lost their nests and are displaced dare not be." Empress Xiao is old, but she is still as beautiful as a flower, and the years have not left too many traces on her, but she has been displaced for more than ten years, and her face is also haggard.
Li Jing arranged for Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao to live in Dingxiang City and sent people to guard them 24 hours a day.
On the other side, Jieli Khan gritted his teeth in anger and rushed into anger, but he didn't dare to stay and accelerated his retreat.
But he never thought that Chai Shao was waiting for him by the Hunhe River.
The two armies fought on the bank of the river for a long time, each with injuries, and the corpses of the soldiers were covered with the surface of the river, and the river was dyed red.
"Collect the troops!"
Chai Shao stopped the pursuit and watched Jieli Khan lead his troops to flee in a disorganized northwest direction.
"Then leave it to the others to clean him up."
"His grandmother's!" Jieli Khan was furious, watching as there were fewer and fewer soldiers, and many of them were still wounded, and his heart was dripping blood.
"Bang!"
There was a soldier in front of him who had fallen, he had already received his wounds, and in the first month, it was very cold in the north, and this man could not hold on.
"Withdraw!"
Jieli Khan's eyes were covered with blood, but for fear of being caught up by the Tang army, he could only abandon this person and speed up.
This has happened many times. When Jieli Khan was suffering from angina, the next thing he heard made him almost faint.
"Khan, we met Li Shiyun!"
Who is Li Shichang? Formerly known as Xu Shixian, known as Xu Maogong, a legendary general with the same name as Li Jing in the early Tang Dynasty, he was called "the Great Wall of the country" by Li Shimin.
Li Shichang led the Tongmo army to intercept the retreating Turks in Baidao, the Turks were defeated, and Jieli Khan fought hard to lead the remnants of more than 10,000 people to break through the interception and flee to Tieshan.
"Khan, the Tang army is going to destroy us with an iron heart." Obsessed with thinking force.
Jieli Khan was on the verge of breaking down and going crazy, "I know. ”
Although tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were gathered under his hands, he was far from being the opponent of Tang's hundreds of thousands of troops, and if he continued to fight, he would be completely gone.
After being silent for a long time, the haggard and depressed Jieli Khan said to Zhizhi Sili, "You go to Chang'an, convey my intentions, ask Tang for guilt, and express our willingness to be a minister." ”
Looking at the old and majestic Jieli Khan, who was no longer majestic, but lost his soul, he sighed, turned around and left the camp, rode his horse, and hurried to Chang'an.
When the war ended, Li Yaowei and Wu Yao hid in the house to light a fire to keep warm.
"Damn, it's so cold in the north!" Li Yaowei was shivering as he roasted the stove.
"For this, Guangzhou is simply different."
"We've been out for almost three months, haven't we? I don't know what happened to them. ”
Li Yaowei led his troops out at the end of November, and in December, in December, in December, and in January, they were all frozen in this ghost place, and the thieves were uncomfortable.
"I'll be able to go back soon." Fifth Yao nodded.
"Hopefully." Li Yaowei said, "Jieli Khan is still alive, and this battle must continue to be fought." ”
"Uh-huh."
At the end of January, two people came to Dingxiangcheng, Tang Jian, Hongluqing, and An Xiuren, the general, who brought Li Shimin's edict.
"Jieli expressed his willingness to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty was very happy, sent us to the Turks to pacify, and asked General Li Jing to lead his troops to respond."
Hongluqing is equivalent to the current foreign minister. Li Jing and Li Yaoyu glanced at each other, they were all the same, the Turks were insatiable, arrogant and unreasonable, how could they be willing to be vassals?
However, Li Shimin did this, and they were not easy to resist.
Li Yaowei left artillery troops to garrison Dingxiang City, and then led the cavalry with Li Jing to Baidao and joined Li Shiyun.
Both won the battle, everyone was very happy, Li Yaowei and Li Shiyun met for the first time, although they had met in the imperial court before, but they had only seen each other, and they had not said hello.
At the celebration banquet, Li Jing suddenly spoke, "Although the Turks surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, there are still a lot of soldiers and horses in Jieli's hands, once he escapes to Mobei, with Xue Yantuo, we can't annihilate him." ”
"Yes." Li Shichang and Li Jing had the same idea, "Now that Tang Jian is in Jieli, Jieli should be very lax, if we send troops and select Xiaocai to attack while they are not prepared, we will definitely be able to capture Jieli alive with great wealth and Turks." ”
It's a good idea.
"But." Zhang Gongjin hesitated, "Tang Jian, they are still in Turkic, wouldn't we put them in a desperate situation by doing this?" ”
Everyone nodded, frowning and thinking, Li Jing shook his head and said, "As long as you can defeat the Turks and capture Jieli, Tang Jian and they don't have to care." ”
Li Yaowei and Fifth Yao glanced at each other, a little crying and laughing, are you going to sell Tang Jian?
Li Yaowei couldn't help but think of the time when Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony in the world, Liu Bang's Li Shiqi was in Qi to persuade the King of Qi to surrender, and the King of Qi also agreed, but Han Xin suddenly sent troops to attack Qi State, and the King of Qi was angry and cooked Li Shiqi alive.
Li Jing also said, "This is how Han Xin captured Qi in the first place, as long as the Turks are destroyed, Tang Jian and they don't have to think about it." ”
Li Jing decided to do so, and set off with 3,000 elite soldiers at night, ordering Li Shiyun and Li Yaojie to lead a large army to follow.
It was snowing in Yinshan at this time, and the snow on the ground was more than a foot thick, Li Jing was not afraid at all, led his troops to continue to advance, captured the Turkic tents encountered along the way, and took them with him to advance.
On the eighth day of the second lunar month, Li Jing ordered his deputy general Su Dingfang to lead 200 horsemen as the vanguard and attack at full speed through the dense fog.
"Khan! The Don army has attacked! ”
Jieli squirted out a sip of spirits, "What? Didn't they send messengers? ”
"I don't know ......"
Tang Jian and An Xiuren were also dumbfounded at the moment, damn, what are you doing? Is it to sacrifice Lao Tzu?
At this moment, Su Dingfang was less than seven miles away from Jieli's tooth tent, Jieli panicked, he didn't have time to think about why Tang Jun reversed his word, and he didn't have time to settle accounts with Tang Jian, "Withdraw!" ”
The Turkic tents were in disarray, and the soldiers ran around, packed their belongings, and fled on horseback.
Tang Jian and An Xiuren took advantage of the chaos to run out of the Jieli tooth tent and found a hidden place to hide.
Su Dingfang led 200 cavalry to rush directly into Jieli Khan's camp, but at this time, Jieli Khan had already fled on horseback.
