Chapter 71: Sudden Shi
Li Siyuan is in full swing to arrange the defensive front, Wei Chigong with 10,000 horses is also in a hurry to the direction of Li Jiaji, he is a die-hard fan of Li Shimin, he naturally does not dare to slack off on the task assigned by Li Shimin!
It was Tuli's younger brother Tu Shi who led the troops to arrest Li Siyuan, and he was also the highest person in the Turkic Alliance this time, and he and Tuli had a very good relationship, so Tuli was relieved and boldly let him lead the troops to fight for him!
"The Central Plains is such a good place, but it is occupied by these weak Han people, what a tyrannical thing!" Tu Shi rode on a big red horse, complaining to the attendants beside him about the injustice of heaven.
"What the Lord said is that the Central Plains is a good place!" The attendant said with a flattering look: "But we are about to fight to Chang'an, and when the time comes, kill their emperor, can't we take advantage of the situation to enter the Central Plains?" When the time comes, we'll make these two-legged sheep slaves and serve us! ”
"It's not that simple!" Tu Shi shook his head: "This time it is Li Shimin's carelessness, we can fight all the way to Chang'an, and when the troops from various places in Datang come to the rescue, we have to retreat if we don't retreat, after all, the time and place are favorable, and we don't occupy it!" ”
After saying this, Tu Shi slapped the horse's buttocks and galloped forward, and the attendants beside him also hurriedly followed, and at the same time shouted: "Speed up the march, speed up the march!" ”
Although the army of 10,000 people is not a large army, it is already a large number, and it takes a long time to prepare for the expedition alone, so Wei Chigong led people to Li Jiaji the next morning.
"General Wei Chi is coming, and the lower officials are not welcome, please Haihan!" Li Siyuan took the family to the gate to greet Wei Chigong.
However, Wei Chigong didn't seem to appreciate it, and snorted coldly with a dark face: "Hmph, I really don't know why Your Majesty attaches so much importance to you, and you don't forget to divide troops to protect your family at such a juncture!" As he spoke, he strode himself into the living room.
Li Siyuan followed him all the way, looking a little embarrassed, although he was also very moved by Li Shimin attaching so much importance to himself, but he still couldn't help complaining about Li Shimin's behavior, not for anything else, just because of Wei Chigong's arrival, his idea of fighting if he won and running away if he didn't win was completely ruined!
With Wei Chigong's temperament, if he runs away if something is not good, I am afraid that he will be the first to order to shoot himself! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly ordered someone to serve tea, and took care of this black-faced god carefully!
"I guess you already know that the Turks are coming this way, and they all say that you kid has the most bad intentions, tell me, do you have any ideas?" Wei Chigong took a sip of tea, the taste was a little bitter, he put the teacup on the table in disgust, frowned and said: "The enemy is outnumbered, this is a tough battle!" ”
"If we can't win, we'll run!" Li Siyuan said tentatively!
"Fart, if we run away, what will Your Majesty do? Do you want Your Majesty to suffer from the enemy? ”
"Your Majesty has already arrived in Weishui?" Li Siyuan looked at Wei Chigong suspiciously.
"Not yet, there are so many of them, I think we won't be able to get there until tomorrow afternoon!"
Li Siyuan frowned and thought for a while and said: "According to the Tanmalai report, in the afternoon, Tu Shi and the others will arrive at the location we have ambushed in advance. ”
"How to outwit?" Wei Chigong looked curiously at the young man in front of him who was the size of his son.
"We've set up a trap in Echo Valley beforehand, and when the Turks arrive, we can use the trap to give them a dismount first, and then ........" Saying this, he put his mouth on Wei Chigong's ear and muttered quietly.
While listening to Li Siyuan's strategy, Wei Chigong's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and it wasn't until Li Siyuan finished speaking that he asked, "Are you completely sure?" What if the Turks don't believe it? ”
"There are no absolutes in the world!" Li Siyuan didn't hide it: "I don't have a complete grasp, but this should be the best way right now, and even if they don't believe it, when the time comes, we can occupy the power of the terrain, and we can compete with them!" ”
Obviously, Li Siyuan's idea moved Wei Chigong, and after closing his eyes and pondering for a long time, he said: "Okay, just do as you say, I'll give orders now, and prepare according to your method!" If something goes wrong, I'll take care of the consequences! ”
"The general is righteous, the boy admires!" Li Siyuan still admires Wei Chigong, a boss who dares to take responsibility for himself, so he did not hesitate to praise himself.
In the afternoon, Li Siyuan and Wei Chigong appeared at the east of the Echo Valley at the same time, waiting for the arrival of the Turkic army.
"How long will the Turks get here? But what's out of the ordinary? Wei Chigong asked the guards beside him.
"General, the Turks are not far from here, they can arrive in about half an hour, and there is no unusual action!"
Wei Chigong nodded, indicating that he already knew, and then turned his head to look at Li Siyuan beside him, only to see that this kid was calmly staring at the other end of the valley, not knowing what he was thinking, and the mature aura inadvertently revealed on his face made people completely can't believe that this kid is still a young man less than 20 years old.
"Where's the Tanma? Why hasn't anyone come forward to report the news ahead? Tu Shi asked the person who accepted it anxiously.
"Lord, our scouts have never made a mistake all along, and this is the first time! Presumably, there will be an ambush ahead! Shall we take a detour? "A Turkic general stepped forward and suggested a detour.
Tu Shi listened to it and didn't talk, he didn't want to make a detour, the Western Turks have always been looked down upon by the * Turks, the reason why he marched all the way to Li Jiaji was to be the first to rush to Chang'an after taking Li Siyuan, so that Jieli could see that their Western Turks were not weaker than * Turks!
"Bring me the map!" Tu Shi took the map from the guard's hand, looked at it for a while, and said, "According to the indication of the map, there is Echo Valley in front, if there is really an ambush ahead." They will inevitably choose here, but fortunately, the valley is not too long, only less than two hundred meters, our warriors can ride horses, and they can rush through in the blink of an eye, and Jieli is already about to reach Chang'an, the Tang Emperor will definitely not divide too many troops to deal with us, they can have 10,000 people is not bad! ”
Speaking of which, he closed the map and said to the group, "The plan remains the same, continue the march in the direction of Echo Valley!" ”
