Chapter 519: False Ways
The wind was blowing in the courtyard, and the willow branches were swaying in the wind.
Luo Tong was still practicing his spear in style.
Luo Yi got up from his chair and walked back and forth in the courtyard.
The ninth princess married Qin Tian, and it was Li Shimin's marriage?
What do you mean?
Li Shimin clearly doesn't take his Yanwang Luo Yi in his eyes?
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, Li Shimin is afraid that he intends to get rid of him, the king with a different surname, and now that the ninth princess is married, his Luo family is only afraid that he has been laughed at by the people of Chang'an City, right?
Luo Yi walked back and forth, and after a while, Luo Yi suddenly stopped and said, "I heard a report from a spy a few days ago that there was an abnormality between the Liang State and the Later Sui and some tribes in the eastern Turkic region, but is this the case?" ”
Luo Buping nodded and said: "Back to my father's words, this is true, and there is already the latest news, the Turks now have 100,000 soldiers and horses in Lingzhou to confront the Tang army, here, several tribes of the Turks, together with Liang and Hou Sui, probably also have 100,000 soldiers and horses, ready to cross the Fenghua Road and go south to attack Jingzhou." ”
Fenghua Road is a very important checkpoint guarded by Luo Yi, if the Turkic soldiers and horses can pass through Fenghua Road smoothly, then they can spare several difficult cities in the Tang Dynasty and come directly to Jingzhou.
Jingzhou is already very close to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, and it can be said that if the Turkic soldiers and horses can hit Jingzhou, it will be equivalent to approaching Chang'an.
For the Turkic soldiers and horses, it is a very difficult thing to cross the Fenghua Road, but they are still willing to take a risk, as long as they can defeat the soldiers and horses set up by Luo Yi in the Fenghua Road, which is much easier than attacking the city.
After hearing Luo Buping's words, Luo Yi's expression became more and more solemn, and then he ordered: "Tell the soldiers of Fenghua Dao and let them lie to the Turks." ”
Hearing that he was going to lend Fenghua Dao to the Turks, Luo Buping's expression suddenly moved, and said: "Father, if you do this, it will be tantamount to betraying the Tang Dynasty, in case the Turks are not victorious, the situation in our Youzhou is very unfavorable." ”
Directly lend Fenghuadao to the Turks, don't fight, don't even have the heart to resist, this is not a betrayal of the Tang Dynasty, if Li Shimin knows, it is really impossible to spare them.
However, Li Shimin had just ascended the throne, and Luo Yi really didn't take this new emperor seriously.
"Hmph, Li Shimin is just a child, what can he do to me? In the land of Youzhou, your father and I have been guarding since the Sui Dynasty, and I haven't seen what they can do to us, if the Tang Dynasty dares to attack us, we will take refuge in the Turks. ”
Speaking of this, Luo Yi smiled softly and said: "However, if 100,000 soldiers and horses cross the Fenghua Road and approach Jingzhou, Datang is only afraid that it will be greatly damaged, or even directly defeated by the Turks. ”
If 100,000 Turkic soldiers and horses are approaching Jingzhou, the situation is really likely to be as Luo Yi said, Datang, in the face of 100,000 Turkic soldiers and horses, is powerless to turn the tide, because the elite of Datang are all in Lingzhou.
Luo Yi somewhat understood what Jieli Khan meant, attacking Lingzhou may just be to divert the tiger from the mountain and attack Jingzhou, which is the ultimate goal of their war against the Tang Dynasty.
Now that the elite of the Tang Dynasty is in the hands of Li Jing of Lingzhou, it is not difficult to see that Jieli Khan's plan has succeeded.
Of course, they didn't expect that Luo Yi would help them again at this time.
After listening to Luo Yi's words, Luo Buping hesitated, but quickly responded.
---------------------------
Lingzhou City.
Li Jing has been guarding Lingzhou City for a year, and during this year, the Turks have launched many attacks on Lingzhou, but they have been repelled by Li Jing, and many Turkic soldiers and horses have been damaged.
However, in the winter, the Turks set up camp outside the city of Lingzhou and easily stopped attacking the city.
However, in Li Jing's view, the Turks knew that the city was not easy to attack in winter, so they wanted to wait for the beginning of spring before attacking the city.
However, the spring in Lingzhou has come, and the willow green has also sprouted, but the Turkic soldiers and horses outside the city have not moved at all.
This made Li Jing feel a little strange.
On this day, Li Jing was in the barracks to discuss things with his ministers, and at this time, a spy hurriedly came to report: "General, I got a secret report, the Turkic side has organized 100,000 soldiers and horses with Liang and Hou Sui, and I am afraid that they will attack my Tang Dynasty." ”
Hearing that the Turks had organized another 100,000 soldiers and horses, Li Jing's eyebrows suddenly condensed, 100,000 soldiers and horses, joining forces with the Later Sui and the Liang State, obviously wanted to borrow from the Liang State or the Later Sui and approach the Tang Dynasty.
However, in order to prevent the Liang State and the Later Sui Dynasty, the cities on the border there are very strong, and there are soldiers and horses, so it should be no problem to hold on for half a year.
Li Jing pondered this information, although he felt a little nervous at first, but in half a year, he felt that the battle situation in Lingzhou should be almost over.
The Turks have besieged here for a year, and the grain and grass are a little insufficient, and every time they attack the city, the damage is more serious, as long as he asks Li Shimin for some more support, he can basically launch a counteroffensive and repel the Turkic soldiers and horses here, and the 100,000 soldiers and horses on the side of the Liang State are afraid and dare not continue to attack.
A victory can basically solve the crisis.
However, until now, the Turks had not launched another attack on Lingzhou, which made Li Jing feel very strange.
It stands to reason that Jieli Khan is ambitious, and it is impossible for him to just besiege the city all the time, he must want to capture Lingzhou City as soon as possible.
"What the hell is going on?"
Li Jing said to himself, and soon, he ordered someone to call the other spies.
"Recently, the Turkic military camp, what has happened?"
"Back to Marshal's words, there is no change in the Turkic military camp, just on guard, and it seems that there is no intention of attacking the city."
"What about the Khan of Jieli?"
"Jieli Khan?" The spy was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It seems that Jieli Khan has not appeared in front of the Turkic soldiers for a long time, and he has been staying in the camp all the time. ”
"Staying in the tent all the time?" Li Jing is a little strange, for Jieli Khan, who grew up on the grassland, he is afraid that he yearns for the blue sky, so he has been staying in the camp, but he is afraid that it is unlikely.
If it is really possible, then there are only two situations, first, Jieli Khan is sick and has to stay in the camp, but the Turkic camp is not panicked, which is a bit less conforming to the situation, and if he is sick, and the sick can't leave the camp, the Turks should retreat.
Then it can only be the second situation, Jieli Khan, who is not outside Lingzhou City at all.
When Li Jing thought of this, his expression changed suddenly, and the whole person trembled, if Jieli Khan was not outside Lingzhou City, it must be among another Turkic army.
They're afraid they're going to make a big move.
Uneasy, uneasy.
"Someone, hurry up eight hundred miles, send this news to the capital, and inform the saint."
