Chapter 672: Kill Xue Shao
After turning off Song Jing, Xue Shao wrote the note by himself, and showed it to Xue Rengui after he finished it.
Xue Rengui read it carefully word for word, and said in his heart that it was really like a person, Song Jing's words were gorgeous and witty, and there was an uproar between the lines, and reading it made people feel like drinking wine. Xue Shao's article is a real "public text", although it is flat and straightforward, but the language is dense, which is very in line with the subtle meaning of the Spring and Autumn Period's penmanship, which seems simple and simple, but it is rich in profoundness, typical of the great ingenuity, there are thousands of autumns!
"Very good." Xue Rengui only made this comment, and then decisively signed his name on the song and stamped it with the official seal.
Xue Shao nodded and smiled, also signed the book, and then handed over the song to Wu Chenghe's envoy and ordered him to bring it back.
"Young marshal, Song Jing is a rare talent, but the edges and corners are prominent, and the edge is too sharp to be carved." Xue Rengui said, "The old man is too old to take him for a few years." Therefore, the old man wants to introduce him to you, I don't know what the young marshal wants? ”
Xue Shao smiled and said, "Don't you know the beauty of the old general?" -- Today's temporary detention of him is just to lay a foreshadowing. Actually, what I like is Song Jing's sharp edge. For example, today, there are as many talented people as carp crossing the river, but there are very few loyal and upright people. Old general, your eyes are scorching! ”
Xue Rengui was overjoyed when he heard this, and said repeatedly: "Song Jing is a thousand-mile horse, but a thousand-mile horse is often as fierce as fire and extremely difficult to tame. The old man can only lead the troops to fight, and the royal people are not good at recommending them. Now that Song Jing has to meet the young marshal, he is really a good talent and a Bole! ”
Xue Shao smiled, "The old general is too exalted to me." In fact, there is not much age difference between me and Song Jing, and if we can become like-minded brothers in the future, it will be enough. ”
Xue Rengui nodded with an approving smile, and said secretly in his heart: Although he is of similar age, Xue Shao's experience and experience are more than a hundred times richer, and his vision and mind are obviously several realms higher than Song Jing's, and it is more than enough to be respectful...... Datang has a large number of talents, and the old man should be pleased!
At the same time, a hundred miles away in the Turkic military camp in the Great Gobi.
Ashina 61 came out with red eyes and shouted angrily: "Yuanzhen really takes himself seriously, and he actually sent ten black-clothed envoys to urge me to withdraw quickly!" ”
The others in the tent were silent, only one stood up and blasted the others out of the tent, and he stepped forward and said, "Second brother, our brother has a good trust in Yuanzhen, and worships him as the mastermind and the official Apodagan. Yuanzhen's orders, even the elder brother himself never disobeyed. Now ......"
"Shut up!" Mo Si scolded angrily, "You useless thing, we are the Khan's own brothers, are we afraid of an outsider?" - Yuan Zhen is a bit talented, assisting his brother to pacify the rising of various departments in the grassland, and also made some contributions in the war against the Tang Dynasty. But his heart and eyes were completely fascinated by Ai Yan's demon girl, and he had selfish intentions! ”
Du Xilu is Mo Si's younger brother, and of course both of them are also Gu Dulu's younger brothers. After the establishment of the Turkic Khanate, Gu Dulu named his second brother Mo Si as "set", which is equivalent to the "great general" of the Tang Dynasty, and is the military general and minister who actually holds military power. Another younger brother, Du Xilu, was named "Ye Hu", and his status was second only to the Khan, somewhat similar to the prince and imperial brother of the Tang Dynasty, but he did not have much real power and no legal inheritance to the Khan.
As Ye Hu, he was also verbally pointed at his nose and insulted, but he didn't have the slightest temper, but just said in a low voice: "The eldest brother often teaches us two brothers that we must be closely united, and we must follow Yuanzhen's orders. This time he waved his army to the south, and he was about to take most of Hebei as soon as he saw it, but Xue Shao came from Fengzhou and killed him obliquely, which ruined our good deeds. Despite this, we have also looted many counties and counties in Yunzhou and its surrounding areas, and we have gained a lot. On the side of the Tang Dynasty, Xue Shao and Xue Rengui had joined forces, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in the rear also provided support. If you continue to fight, there is no benefit and no point. Yuan Zhen ordered the withdrawal of the army, according to the younger brother, there is nothing wrong with it! ”
"You know!" Mo Si scolded angrily, "After the battle from Huanghuadui, Yuanzhen never touched Fengzhou again, and hid when he saw Xue Shao." Do you think he was really afraid of Xue Shao? He was bewitched by that enchantress! ”
Duxi was stunned for a moment, "Wouldn't it?" ”
"Why not?" Mo Si said angrily, "Yuan Zhen has been in love with Ai Yan for many years in private, and it is said that it has been since childhood. In the past, he was just a small tribal official, and he had no chance to get close to Ai Yan. Now that he has become the Apodan of the Turkic Khanate, he is so developed that even Ai Yan has to rely on him for protection - do you think he will have an old heart to get Ai Yan? ”
"What's so hard about that?" Du Xiluo sneered, "It's nothing more than pushing some brute force to the ground, stripping and poking your pants!" ”
"We think so, Yuan Zhen is not!" Mo sneered, "One of them is a talented man who is full of economic wealth and is deeply influenced by Sinology, and the other is an aristocratic lady who grew up in the Central Plains. ”
"I don't understand a word!" He pouted.
"In short, Yuan Zhen is Ai Yan's demon!" Mo Si said angrily, "Do you know that last time Yuan Zhen sent someone to exchange prisoners with Xue Rengui, he actually allowed Ai Yan to secretly go with him?" ”
"Oh, is there such a thing?" Surprised.
"I don't know? It seems that you are the stupidest! Mo scolded, "What can Ai Yan do when he goes to Daizhou?" It's not his little lover Xue Shao! The two of them already have a leg, maybe the child ......"
Halfway through, the silence stopped.
In any case, the myth of the "son of the gods" cannot be broken, otherwise the spiritual totem that condenses all the tribes of the grassland will collapse. No matter how dissatisfied Mo Si is with Yuan Zhen, he will not be stupid enough to dismantle his own platform!
"Hmm...... Not! He didn't say anything, but nodded his head again and again to show his understanding.
"Yuan Zhen is hopelessly stupid for that woman. He must have listened to Ai Yan's demagogy and asked him not to fight with Xue Shao, so he ordered the army to retreat. Mo Si said, "Third brother, think about it, how can national affairs be at the mercy of children's affection?" Now that the Tang Dynasty is empty, it needs Xue Shao's rescue for thousands of miles to barely support it. Although we have lost some soldiers and horses in the two states of Shuodai, it is only a few inferior commanders, private soldiers of other tribes, and newly recruited Zheqi Sanyong, and our Turkic own subordinate elite is still in my hands, still alive and unscathed! ”
The soldiers and horses of the Turkic Khanate were divided into three major parts, the main component was the commanders, who were composed of ordinary herdsmen of various tribes; Some of them were professional cavalrymen hired at the expense of various other nomads, called "Zheqi". The most elite soldiers and horses were the guards who belonged directly to the khan, and they were called vassals, and "attached" means wolf. Today, the elite vassals of the Turkic Khanate, also known as wolf riders, are all under the control of the Murs.
"Makes sense!" Du Xiluo nodded at this time, "Xue Shao was lucky, he suddenly killed the two states of Shuodai, and just happened to pinch two soft persimmons that besieged the city to help. If he and the wolf rider under the command of the second brother confront each other head-on, they will definitely fail miserably! ”
"The eldest brother established the khanate all the way to unify the various departments of the steppe, and most of the credit went to Yuanzhen. Our two brothers, although one is for Ye Hu and the other is for the other, but because the credit is not large, all of them are subject to Yuanzhen, aren't they aggrieved? Mo Si said, "This time, we won't listen to him, and we will go back to fight with Xue Shao, and we will definitely defeat the Tang army." If you can kill Xue Shao, it will be a great achievement, even if you can't kill him, it will be good to frustrate his sharpness. After the two wars of the Shuo Dynasty, Xue Shao's fame became even greater, and the legend about him became more and more evil in our army, saying that Xue Shao was the nightmare of all the grassland people in the next few decades, which made many tribal leaders and generals change color when they heard Xue Shao's name - I don't believe in his evil! I just slaughtered Yunzhou to demonstrate and provoke Xue Shao, see what he can do with me? ”
"Then again...... Second brother! "Yuan Zhen ordered that we are not allowed to kill civilians and prisoners indiscriminately. The second brother slaughtered Yunzhou. Will it be ...... when you go back?"
"You're as cowardly as a mouse!" Mo sobbed, "As long as you and my brothers work together, I don't believe that Yuan Zhen can still instigate my brother to be unfavorable to the two of us!" ”
"Yes!" Du Xilu gritted his teeth fiercely, "In the words of the Han people, our brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are gold!" ”
"This is my good brother!" Mo Si smiled and patted Du Xilu's shoulder, "Don't think about it, go back with Brother Wei and have a decisive battle with Xue Shao!" ”
"Wait a minute!" He hurriedly said, "What's the decisive battle with Xue Shao, isn't the Hebei Marshal of the Tang Dynasty Xue Rengui?" ”
"That's just a trick!" Mo Si laughed and said, "Since the death of Duke Pei and the transfer of Evil to the capital, the Tang Dynasty has no famous generals available, so it is under the guise of Xue Rengui to suppress Hebei, so that foreign clans do not dare to invade." In fact, Xue Rengui was degraded by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty ten years ago, and died in the place of exile - Xiangzhou. ”
"Really?" He blinked and was very skeptical, thinking that this could not be his brother's sophistry, just to stabilize the morale of the army and boost morale, right?
"My good brother, of course it's true!" Mo sobbed and grinned, "Think about it, if there is really Xue Rengui in Hebei, when we captured Yunzhou and trapped Shuo Dynasty, why didn't we see his old man show his might?" If there is really Xue Rengui in Hebei, will Xue Shao still have to come to the aid of thousands of miles? If there is really Xue Rengui in Hebei, will they give up Sanzhou and retreat to Taiyuan to become a shrinking turtle? - It can be seen that Xue Rengui, who was sent by the Tang Dynasty to sit in Hebei, is an impostor. Yuan Zhen was so frightened that she ran away, don't you think it's ridiculous? ”
"What the second brother said is true!" Listening to Mo Si's analysis, he dispelled the worries in his heart, "Just listen to the second brother, let's kill him and kill Xue Shao!" ”
"That's right, it's just to kill Xue Shao!!"
