Chapter 140: Determination (2)
Gu Lulu did not surround all his troops in Shuozhou City, but led a group of troops and set up at the source of the Sanggan River, and Yuan Zhen led a part of his troops and set up on the north side of Yanmen Pass. There were also two other roads, one east and one west, to prevent the arrival of Tang reinforcements.
However, most of the troops were used to besiege Shuozhou.
Kong Zhengfang has also seen the transfer of large armies in Qinghai, which can be tens of thousands at most. Suddenly, I saw more than 100,000 troops, the barracks stretched for dozens of miles, as far as the eye could see, and the cattle and sheep slaughtered every day alone reached several thousand, not including the food to eat.
He was a little discolored, and he didn't know if Shuozhou City could defend the top
Gu Dulu didn't know what he thought, and he didn't have time to pay attention to him, so he rode a horse to the city of Shuozhou, and shouted loudly to the city: "I'm Ashina Gululu, please all of you to meet him." ”。
Ashina Daozhen walked up to the city and said: "Gu Dulu, surrender quickly, the Turks have finally had so many good sons after decades of rest and recuperation, don't let them spoil you." "Daozhen, you are wrong. We Turkic people graze green grass in summer, inhabit the south of the mountains in winter, ice and snow are fine wine, and wind and frost are sweet springs. The wolf is our ancestor, and the eagle is our yin friend. The noblest race in the world is none other than our Turks, but it is in decline for a while, defeated by the hands of the Tang people. But the moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have joys and sorrows, which is only a temporary subservience to others. ”
This kid actually quoted the words and phrases of the water dragon turn that Li Wei plagiarized.
However, the Turks have a strong sense of self-esteem.
For a long time, the people of the Central Plains have been bowing to them, and when Li Tang started his business, he also humbly bowed his head and bowed to them. So there is a strong sense of self-esteem in the heart. After several great defeats, this nation should have perished. However, the policies of the Tang Dynasty gave them another chance to rise. Under the peace policy, the Tang Dynasty was full of Hu Feng, including Li Chengqian, who actually arranged the East Palace as a Turkic tooth tent.
Therefore, the self-esteem of the Turks has never stopped.
It is precisely because of this and self-esteem that Fengzhi and Wen Bo raised the banner and immediately gathered 400,000 troops. After the defeat, Wen Bo and Fu Nian reunited and still gathered more than 100,000 troops. Then to the bones, more than 100,000 troops were dispatched at every turn.
Li Wei also considered the psychology of the Turkic people, and stood on the position of the Turkic nation, which is very worthy of encouragement, but the rise of the Turks only hurt the people of the Central Plains. Unlike the Great Eclipse, if there is no Tibetan strategy to endanger the rule of the Western Regions, the Great Eclipse is almost harmless no matter how it expands.
It's time to completely disarm the Eastern Turks!
Standing at the head of the city was a Han general, and Gu Dulu's words did not work. However, it was Daozhen who was standing, and even the soldiers were mostly Turkic soldiers, and Daozhen didn't know how to answer.
Ashina Gulu turned his head and said loudly: "Good sons and daughters of the Turks, are you willing to be other people's eagle dogs for the rest of your life?" ”
"I don't want to!" Tens of thousands of people answered in unison.
The sound is in the sky.
The dialogue between Gu Lulu and Dao Zhen is said in Turkic language, Kong Zhengfang is not far away, one of the two people is at the head of the city and the other is under the city wall, they must answer loudly, Kong Zhengfang can also hear it, but he can't understand it. However, this is not reluctant, and the Turkic language can still be understood.
The shouts of tens of thousands of people made Kong Zhengfang's color change.
Talking to one of the centurions in a low voice, only to figure out that the two were talking. It occurred to me that this nation was hopeless.
No matter how good the Tang Dynasty was to them, they only thought about recovering the glory of the former Turks, could they still be loyal to the Tang Dynasty?
Gu Lulu said again: "General Daozhen, you are the descendant of Luo Khan, and you have the most noble blood of the Turks. Can you bear to let the bow and arrows from the head of the city be inflicted on the Turkic sons? ”
"In that case, you quickly retreat."
"That's not the case, this time I came to welcome General Daozhen back, preside over the Turkic recovery plan, and the ministers knocked to welcome Daozhen Khan." After Gu Dulu finished speaking, he immediately fell to the ground. Then, like waves, the Turkic soldiers fell down one after another.
Dao Zhen was so angry that he fainted, and his lips trembled when he stood at the head of the city.
Gu Dulu lay in wait for a while, no one in the city answered, and he was not angry, Xiao Mimi returned to the camp, patted Kong Zhengfang's shoulder, and said, "Kong Jun, you have a good plan." ”。
"That's the dare." , but Kong Zhengfang was very puzzled.
In this ambush, most of the Turkic soldiers are defending the city, and the morale is gone, what can be used to resist the siege of the bones? Could it be that His Majesty has made a mistake?
The city is really even more embarrassed. Even if he barely defends the city, if what happened today reaches the ears of the Queen Mother, who is very suspicious, she will not have good fruit to eat. I discussed it with Ashina Zhe for a long time, but I didn't come up with a solution.
The next day, the door of the mansion opened, and another letter appeared, this time a little too much.
Daozhen Governor, yesterday's bone record clearly invited the governor to worship as a Turkic Khan, and actually borrowed the banner of the governor to appease the people loyal to the Tang Dynasty. As the governor of the capital, his status is noble, and as soon as he enters Mobei, the soldiers are the soldiers of the bones, and the generals are the generals of the bones. Who listens to the king's command? The picture will be the king's place, and the dove medicine is the king's wine. Don't be careful. The bones distort the true meaning, the Turks are attached to the Tang Dynasty, the leather and fur horns of the Tang Dynasty are sold in the harvest year, and the grain and money of the Tang Dynasty are sold in the famine years, only a few decades, and the scale is far better than the beginning. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and all ethnic groups are peaceful and friendly. A few nights of young people, in order to seek their own position, to confuse people's hearts, the military revolution was erected in the north and south of Yinshan. Two major defeats, the bones of the corpses are across the desert Gobi steppe, and the vultures peck the corpses outside the wilderness. Dark clouds pressed on the top, and blood and wind covered the sand. His wife was separated, and he wailed all over the field.
If you can achieve great things, you can't do it. The governor looked at the west for several years, the wisdom of Qinling, and the prosperity of Tibet, but the east was defeated in Qinghai and the west was folded in the Western Regions. The army was lost, and the country was in turmoil. Da Shi is stronger than the West, Jin is invincible, only tens of thousands of troops are dispatched, and the land is thousands of miles, Da Shi is helpless, and the country is divided. The Tang army in the west has not moved, if the emperor is resurrected, the Turks will die overnight, even if the emperor is in danger, the generals will be embarrassed for a long time, and the queen mother will be appeased, and it will return, and it will also be used by the Tang Dynasty. Elite soldiers and fierce generals, gathered in the big river, warriors are resourceful, clouds are in the north, and the Turks will also die.
The governor must not think twice, and the survival of the Turks lies in the king's thoughts.
Ashina Dao really opened it and took a look, what a master. Just said that in the depths of his heart, he couldn't listen to the bones and fools, this kid was uneasy and wanted to be a big sweat, and he didn't think about the life or death of the Turkic people at all. Is it true that the Turks are the opponents of the Don army?
It's just that the Tang Dynasty has had a lot of things to do in recent years, and it doesn't have the energy to manage the north. Once settled, the Turkic rebels will die without a place to bury
Ashina Zhe was called, and the generals were also called, some people didn't know Chinese characters, and Dao Zhen read it roughly.
Ashina Zhe couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who is this?" ”
"It doesn't matter who it is, he's kind to us anyway. Did you hear that? We fought not only for the Tang Dynasty, but also for our Turks. It is precisely because of our performance that the Tang Dynasty will not punish our entire Turks afterwards. Otherwise, Rouran, Xiongnu, and Gaoche are the lessons of our Turks. ”
"yes," they nodded one by one.
Gu Lulu has done a very good job in the north, but it can't be compared with the Qinling Tomb and Tubo, and there are still peerless plateaus to retreat. Once the Turks are defeated, where to retreat, don't forget that the Tang Dynasty army also killed Xiaohai. There is no ability to kill so far, and there are still Hui Pure people in the north who are eyeing it. Moreover, he was also accustomed to the life of the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty, wearing gorgeous silk, eating exquisite food, living in luxurious houses, and being able to herd, cultivate and trade. Why run to the bitter prairie to suffer?
"Then please give these words to every soldier and give them courage. It won't be long before Datang's reinforcements arrive. ”
"Whoa." , one by one, the fish retreated.
Ashina Daozhen sat in the big tent and pondered, who is this person? With this eyesight alone, it is far above himself.
Gu Dulu shouted outside the city again.
Dao Zhen had confidence in his heart and calmly came to the city.
Gu Lulu asked, "General Daozhen, have you thought about it?" There are hundreds of thousands of good sons behind me, just waiting for your answer. ”
Daozhen said with a smile: "Gu Dulu, I only ask one question, once you fail, how many of the hundreds of thousands of good sons and daughters behind you can survive." It's not that I'm scared, but there are lessons from the dedication of Wen Bo in front of me, and there are lessons from Goryeo, the ten surnames of the Western Turks, pharyngeal noodles and Tibetan food. The generals and armies of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions of Qinghai are intact and flawless, and you ask yourself if they are the opponents of these tiger generals? Even if you succeed and satisfy your ambitions, how many good sons and daughters will be left behind you? ”
After asking, he said loudly: "Listen up, Turkic sons, I am Daozhen, the son of Chosheer, the Khan of Chuluo. Your bones bewitch you, saying that you have become the eagle dog of the Tang Dynasty. I ask you all these years, we have walked out of some soldiers and fought for the Tang Dynasty. However, the Battle of Goryeo, the Battle of Qinghai, these large-scale battles, were the Tang Dynasty's own soldiers, or our Turkic soldiers. Only a small number of soldiers were sent out, and occasionally fought for the Tang Dynasty once or twice, but how many taxes did the Tang Dynasty collect from our Turks, and how many exquisite silk silks did it send to reward the people of all ethnic groups? And in times of difficulty, how much food was sent to the rescue? Think about it again, fifty years ago, how many people did we Turks have, and how many people do we Turks have today? On such a good day, are you willing to bury it in order to satisfy Gu Ludu's ambition? ”
"Siege!" Gu Lulu was annoyed and ashamed, and before he could finish speaking, he ordered the siege of the city.
But the siege at this time is different from yesterday.
If the city was attacked yesterday, the Turkic soldiers in the city were shaken, and the Han soldiers were suspicious, and maybe they would be able to take Shuozhou City one day. But today, the generals have conveyed the words in the letter, coupled with the preaching of the talents, the morale has been stabilized, and the suspicion of the Han soldiers has also been reduced. Well, it became very difficult to capture Shuozhou City.
Watching the fierce battle between the two sides, Kong Zhengfang was very stunned after listening to the centurion's translation beside him.
He didn't think that Dao Zhen came up with these words himself, and if he could have come up with them, he would have said them yesterday.
Is there a superior person in the city to help him?
However, he had to face one thing immediately, and by this time, he had also fulfilled the request made by His Majesty, and he was going to leave here.
The current situation is also to leave, and if the "own" plan does not succeed, Gu Dulu will inevitably become angry, and then he may encounter danger. I'm not afraid of death, but it doesn't mean I want to die.
But His Majesty ordered one more thing, at this time, he could leave, but when he left, he could not let the Turks suspect him, at least until the Tang Dynasty reinforcements arrived at Yanmen Pass, and the Turks could not doubt him.
That's the hardest part.
Not to mention that the Turks are not suspicious, even if they want to leave at the moment, it is extremely difficult. If you look at it, there are Turkic armies in front and behind, and there are many scouts running on horseback in the open space to find information. Seeing that the offensive and defensive battles between the two sides became more and more fierce, Kong Zhengfang fell into distress.
