Chapter 43: It is advisable to chase after the poor
The sun is rising, and the refreshing air is even more refreshing. Although the whole army celebrated last night, no one drank too much, and in order to prevent Tuguhun from sneaking attack, Li Jing did not dare to take it lightly.
The morning in the grassland was very pleasant, and there was nothing but the sound of the north wind blowing in my ears. Suddenly, the silence was broken by the sound of horses' hooves from far and near, and a fast horse rushed towards the Tang army camp.
The guards guarding the outermost part did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately showed a vigilant look, and shouted: "What person? Get ready! Thousands of crossbowmen suddenly faced the gate of the barracks.
"I have an urgent military situation, open the door quickly" The horse turned out to be sent by Duan Zhixian, who was stationed on the shore of Qinghai Lake, and said loudly outside the door.
Seeing that it was undoubtedly the Tang Army, and that there was a military situation, the guard did not dare to slack off, and immediately opened the gate, and the horse immediately flew in.
The soldiers rushed all the way and came directly to the camp where Li Jing lived, and Li Jing was chatting with Chu Ze at this time.
The soldier went to Li Jing, turned over and dismounted, knelt down and said, "Handsome! The party item and the Xiqiang tribe are reversed! ”
"What?" Li Jing and Chu Ze looked at each other. Li Jing's face sank, helped the soldier, and said, "Okay, you go back to rest." ”
"Yes!"
After carefully reading the battle report in his hand, Li Jing was angry and yelled, "Damn it!" ”
A few days ago, seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Li Jing sent someone to order Duan Zhixian, who was stationed on the shore of Qinghai Lake, to lead his troops to march to Dabeichuan, join the army, and attack Tuyuhun.
Who knew that the Dangxiang tribe Tuoba Quanye suddenly led his troops to attack the Tang army and occupied the Black Wind Gorge, making Duan Zhixian unable to pass, and then the Xiqiang tribe also joined!
"Chu Ze, what do you think?"
Because of his anger, Li Jing's face darkened a little, and he handed the battle report in his hand to Chu Liaoze.
"Wait, how do you feel so familiar. Li Jing won't be possessed by Master Di, right? Chu Ze thought to himself, and quickly scanned the battle report in his hand.
For the party item, Xiqiang joined the Tuyuhun camp to fight against the Tang army, Chu Ze was not too surprised.
After thinking seriously for a while, Chu Ze opened his mouth and said, "Dashuai, yesterday's battle with Tuyuhun, Tuyuhun was exhausted, and the equipment and troops were different from what I saw on weekdays, I boldly concluded that yesterday's Tuyuhun army was the tribe to which Tuyuhun Khan Court belonged!" ”
Li Jing nodded, agreed with Chu Ze's opinion, and motioned for Chu Ze to continue
"Yesterday, Tuyuhun was defeated by our army and fled westward. In terms of morale, it has lost to our army, and now the commander can order our army to continue to pursue Natuyuhun and bite the Tuyuhun Khan Court. As for Dangxiang and Xiqiang, there is no need to worry, the marshal can order General Duan to defend the shore of Qinghai Lake, and after our two armies encircle Tuyuhun, Dangxiang and Xiqiang will retreat without a fight! ”
After saying so much in one breath, Chu Ze took a long breath and complained in his heart, "I'm tired to death, I know it, and I want to say it, I have no status, no human rights!" ”
Li Jing nodded and said, "Okay, not bad!" ”
"Come on, convene the generals to discuss the matter!" After that, Li Jing sent people to gather the generals.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Tuyuhun army was newly defeated by our army, if I expected it to be correct, yesterday's army was the tribe to which Murong Fuyun Khanting belonged, and the warriors fought out the stormy waters without sinking, and the cowards would drown in calm waters. My soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are in front of the enemy, you have the confidence to go and capture that Murong Fuyun! Li Jing sat on the main seat and shouted.
When the generals heard Li Jing's words at this time, they all knew that they were about to catch up with Murong Fuyun, the big man of Tuyuhun, and their blood immediately boiled. They all stood up and shouted, "Have faith! Capture Murong Fuyun alive! ”
"Good!" Li Jing nodded, "Since that's the case, there's no need to say more, you guys go and prepare, pursue!" ”
"No!" After each general responded, he returned to his camp and reorganized his troops and horses to prepare for the attack!
Li Jing only let the army rest for half a day, and then set off for the north.
This march was not as cautious as in the past, but ordered Qixin He Li and Zhi Zhi Sili to lead the cavalry of the headquarters to continue to pursue, and the army then followed as a backup.
After Li Daozong and Hou Jun divided their armies with Li Jing, they pursued the Tuyuhun army along the southern front.
The southern front is sparsely populated, and there are a large number of Tuyuhun people, and the traces left along will not be lost.
However, when the army arrived at the valley of Poluozhen, there was no water or grass, and the march for days was sleepy and lacking in horses.
Li Daozong and Hou Junji immediately decided, and all the soldiers had one meal a day, melted ice cubes and drank water.
Now it has passed through the Han Wai Mountain, and is about to catch up with Dafeichuan.
Murong Fuyun had the heart to flee south, but the news from the south made him have to dispel this idea, and he had to flee all the way to the north.
At this time, in the Tuyuhun army, Murong Fuyun was sad and embarrassed.
The day before yesterday, he gathered 120,000 troops to fight with the Tang army, was defeated and fled, and even his own general Murong Lixiong's family was accommodated, which made Murong Fuyun shocked and angry.
Whenever he passed by a tribe that he had befriended well, Murong Fuyun would send the Heavenly Pillar King to persuade them to fight back against the Tang army with him.
But every time the army was not assembled, the Tang cavalry had already arrived, and in one fell swoop defeated the Tuyuhun soldiers, Murong Fuyun had to repeat the old tricks again, threw down the fierce battle army, and ran away with some of his own pro-army and cattle and sheep first.
"Damn! Tang thief, Tang thief! In the king's tent, Murong Fuyun was furious and scolded angrily.
"Great Khan, Xiao Wang is willing to be the vanguard, gather troops to exterminate the Tang thieves, and avenge the fallen Tugu warriors!" It was the King of the Heavenly Pillars who spoke.
Although the King of Tianzhu was very angry with Murong Fuyun at this time, he was angry that Murong Fuyun was the first to flee, if it wasn't for Murong Fuyun to escape first, maybe he would have repelled the Tang army at this time. Although he was angry, he still carefully helped Murong Fuyun come up with ideas.
Because the King of Tianzhu did not dare to leave Murong Fuyun. This time the army attacked Liangzhou was done by him to instigate Murong Fuyun, if Murong Fuyun left him at this time, then he had only one way to die!
The rest of the Tuyuhun leaders all bowed their heads and were silent.
"Okay, don't talk about it, one idea in the east, one idea in the west, exterminate the Tang thief, exterminate the Tang thief The day before yesterday I gathered 120,000 troops, isn't it still defeated?" Murong Fuyun shouted.
The Heavenly Pillar King opened his mouth, wanting to refute but didn't dare to speak, his head drooped, and his expression was very lonely.
Murong Fuyun couldn't have imagined it, but in just a few months, the powerful Tuyuhun in his eyes was almost destroyed, was Datang really invincible?
"The child said at the beginning, it's best not to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has many generals, and its power is far better than my Tugu, but the King of Tianzhu insists on provoking the Tang Dynasty, what is the result?" Murong Fuyun's son Murong Shun had a worried face on his face.
The leaders were immediately even more silent, yes! Gathering 120,000 troops, but still invincible, this Tang Dynasty is really invincible, what can I do now, a sad breath spread in the Tuyuhun army.
"Report!"
"Khan, the large forces of the Tang Army in the rear have caught up!"
Don't say it, run away quickly, Murong Fuyun took the lead on the horse, and as soon as he took a breath, the road to escape began again. Murong Fuyun regretted it at this time, regretting that he had listened to the nonsense of the Heavenly Pillar King and provoked the Tang Dynasty, and now he ended up like this!
Listening to the shouts of "Capture Fu Yun'er alive" shouted by the Tang army not far away, Murong Fuyun was even more frightened, and the whip in his hand was fiercely whipped on the war horse, wishing that the war horse could grow a pair of wings at this time and take him off!
In the Tang Army, Tie Zhu panted, looked at Chu Ze and said, "You said that this Tugu thief, how can he run at this end?" ”
Chu Ze said, "No matter how much prey can run, it can't escape the tracking of the hunters." Rest assured, you'll be able to catch up soon! ”
After speaking, he shouted "Drive!" "The crotch ran like lightning month by month.
