Chapter 322: Self-inflicted
Jieli Khan's series of defeats is not because their Turks are weak. Compared with the beginning www.biquge.info of the reign, the strength of the Turks has still increased, but the progress of the Tang Dynasty is far better than that of the Turks, so that they have caught up with the Turks unconsciously, and even surpassed their Turks in some fields.
Jieli had never wanted to admit it, and their arrogant Turkic populace was unaware of it.
still thinks that the people of the Central Plains are still the original people who can be bullied by them at will, and they are still so weak, and they also regard fault as the incompetence of Jieli.
Jieli has been holding on because of this, because of the disputes on the grassland, he has to take care of the Tang Dynasty on the one hand, and he has to entangle with the elusive Qin Feng on the other......
Single-mindedly multi-purpose, the more it is used, the more chaotic it becomes, which directly leads to the fiasco of Ashina Sheer and the loss of thinking power. After Jieli received the news, he thought hard for many days and finally realized the problem. It's just that I've been hesitating whether to admit defeat, whether to take a big step back, and withdraw from the situation of being controlled by many sides, so as to deal with Tuli wholeheartedly.
After Princess Yicheng revealed the information that Qin Feng's forces had been expanded, Jieli came to his senses, realized his mistake, and realized that the Turks had walked on the cliff and gradually moved towards a point of no return.
The essence of knowledge left by the ancients is extremely valuable, and failure can hone people's will and stimulate people's fighting spirit. Being able to face failure calmly and survive it will inevitably lead to success.
In the face of this disadvantage, Jieli admitted defeat, let go of the self-esteem of the Turkic Khan, admitted defeat, and chose to retreat.
Avoiding the edge of the Tang Dynasty and avoiding the invincible sword of Qin Feng, he returned to the grasslands further north to develop.
"I admit defeat, but I don't admit defeat. The land that is forever wild and untamable lives with men who are forever wild and untamable...... We, the Turks, will never give in. If you are willing to continue to follow me, when we have the ability to fight Li Tang, we will bring you back. My words are here, and it is up to you whether you listen or not. If you want to stay. When Qin Feng attacks you in the future, don't ask me for help, the current Turks don't have the capital to fight with the Tang Dynasty. Nor am I obligated to contribute to those who disobey. Of course, you can also go to Tuli, but you have thought clearly, whether he can lead you to glory, whether he can tolerate you. Tuli's strength space has expanded, and he has become self-righteous, and he has put those who defected to him in a key position without obtaining the final victory, but he didn't expect that those people defected to him because of interests, he wanted others to die, it was impossible, the existing Tuli was the same as Wumeng, he didn't unite people's hearts, he didn't allocate a good pasture and hurriedly fought a war, others had no benefit, why should he give him his life? So he is not far from defeat, and I have a way to calm down with a fight against Tuli...... I'll give you an hour to make a choice. Either work with me, or stay and let Qin Feng be slaughtered, or go to Tuli, who is not attached to the people's hearts. ”
Ashina Congzhe, Ashina Congli, Ashina Moruya and other royal families loyal to Jieli stood up without hesitation and said, "I have decided, follow the instructions of King Khan, stay away from the Tang Dynasty, and wait for the opportunity." ”
The rest of the people thought about Jieli Khan's words, and then they realized that they had no way to retreat at all, and they also expressed their positions one after another.
"Well, you won't regret standing up today." Jieli laughed, he knew that after this time, everyone's cohesion would be a little stronger than before the split.
……
Shuo Fang!
"Because of the time of the day, it is cut off; When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic" Jieli Khan left the rich land of Shuobei Prairie, and Li Jing had already learned about it through the intelligence network laid on the grassland. He had been keeping an eye on the movements of the Turks, so he immediately learned that Jieli Khan had summoned all his tribes to withdraw from the Mobei steppe and march to the depths of the steppe. [
When Li Jing heard the news, instead of being very happy, he looked surprised, and there was a hint of jealousy in his eyes.
"It is worthy of a generation of heroes, Jieli is really extraordinary, leaving the Shuobei grassland. It avoided the danger of several battles, and also avoided letting Qin Feng continue to bleed to death, which is amazing. But isn't it too late? ”
Xue Wanche, who was also in Shuofang, was ecstatic when he heard the news.
The Turks' withdrawal from the Shuobei steppe meant that they not only sat firmly in Shuofang, but also the entire Shuofang was intact.
Li Jing shook his head and said, "Don't be too happy, Jieli has made the wisest decision." It's hard for me to imagine that with my character, I can stand this shame. is like a hook, lying on a salary to taste the guts, and the person who can bear the shame is either a coward or a great person. And Jieli is clearly not a coward. ”
"Lord Shangshu, should we send troops into the prairie?" Xue Wanche asked.
"The Shuobei grassland can't run, sooner or later it will be ours, and it is not appropriate to enter the army at this time, in case the Turks kill a horse gun. If we push too hard, Jieli turns around and fights with us to the end, it will be in vain to cheapen Tuli and Yi Nan. It's also that the interests of our Datang don't match, and when they fight you to the death, let's clean up the mess. ”
Xue Wanche suddenly realized, and after a while, he smiled again: "This time, our little Qin General can't make meritorious contributions." ”
Li Jing smiled knowingly and said: "The Tiger Ben Army has lost nearly half of its combat strength, and the most urgent thing at the moment is to restore its combat strength, so as not to miss the upcoming Armageddon, and Your Majesty will not allow him to continue to do so." General Xiao Qin is young, but he is as witty as a fox, he will definitely not lose a big one because of a small one, you just wait and see. ”
"Lord Shangshu is very optimistic about General Xiao Qin?"
A smile also flashed in Li Jing's eyes, and said: "Qin Feng is more powerful than I imagined, seeing that he easily defeated an army of 100,000 last time, I even suspect that he deliberately leaked military information to the Turks. If it were you, what would you have done if you were in his situation at that time? ”
Xue Wanche thought for a while and said, "If there is no His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I will choose to fight, but if there are only 10,000 people, the only way is to retreat." ”
Li Jing said: "A qualified commander must have these three conditions: deep emotion, superior intelligence, and super emotional self-control. For a gifted commander, deep emotions are the driving force, and a sense of honor and responsibility are the concrete manifestations of that emotion, and it is difficult to imagine that a commander who lacks emotional drive can lead thousands of troops through the corridors of hell and usher in the dawn of success and hope. Then there is the excellent intelligence, which is a must-have wrist. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and without excellent intelligence, it is bound to get lost in the smoke of the enemy. Finally, and most importantly, super emotional self-control, or willpower, is the personality attribute of a gifted commander. In the most emotionally charged hour or the most desperate and helpless hour, still maintain calm judgment and firm faith in the heart, overcome obstacles, and see the light of day. Every move he makes, he is deeply aware of the art of war. With more training, it is bound to be a talent that can be created. Maybe he will be another genius who can command the three armies after His Majesty, me, and Mao Gong. Speaking of this, Li Jing said with a smile: "Young people need opportunities, I will write a letter to Your Majesty." Hehe, it may be a pleasant thing to switch places with Qin Feng and look at the young man from behind,"
……
Turly handsome.
Jieli decided to back down and abandon the Shuobei grassland. This move caused an uproar in the grassland, and Tuli took this opportunity to spread public opinion offensive.
The belonging of the Mobei grassland, this is a messy link that is not cleaned up.
In fact, it is also a sentence, the strong are respected, and whoever is strong is whomever it is. According to the earliest records, the Shuobei grassland should be the dog Rong country, and later the rise of the Xiongnu became owned by the Xiongnu, and the Qin, Han and Sui dynasties had taken the Shuobei grassland as a ready-to-have, but when they were down, the grassland people forcibly occupied the past. Just like the disputed territories of later generations. Both the Central Plains and the Prairie people regard this place as their own.
Jieli's abandonment of the Shuobei Grassland is tantamount to giving the Shuobei Grassland to the Tang Dynasty, which is undoubtedly a traitorous act. Even in ancient times, such acts were extremely despicable.
Jieli was already greatly reduced in strength due to the destruction of Ashina Zhanhan, the fiasco of Ashina Sheer and the loss of thinking power, and now he has given the territory of the Turks to the old enemy Tang Dynasty, which is even more suspicious, and has a sharp contrast with the Turkic tribes in the sky. For a time, rebelled against Jieli and defected to Tuli, which directly pushed Tuli to the peak of the grassland. So far, the strength of the Turks has really surpassed that of Jieli and has become the uncrowned king of the Turks.
Because of the expansion of strength, the Turks no longer left any room, and proclaimed themselves the king of the Turkic Khan, standing with Jieli, officially dividing the Turks into two.
When Tulizhi was complacent, he received a slap in the face: the Tang Dynasty increased the proportion of iron tools for cattle and horses on the grounds that iron tools were insufficient, which was ten times higher than the original ratio. As for sophisticated weapons. It has increased the proportion by a factor of fifteen. This is a retaliatory measure taken by the Tang Dynasty for the last time Tuli humiliated the Tang envoys, anyway, now Tuli is asking for help, and Qin Feng's two seizures also relieved the urgent need of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty was not in a hurry at all. And now Jieli and Tuli are in the same boat, and the Tang Dynasty is not worried that they can still unite into a monolith. Tuli will either accept the blackmail of the Tang Dynasty, or he will fight with Jieli like this.
"Why didn't they come and grab it?"
Tuli angrily slapped the case, and his eyes were full of anger: he was now the king of the Turkic Khan, and the troops and horses that could be mobilized in his hands were already better than Jieli, and the steppe he controlled was not inferior to the former. Now that Jieli was in crisis on all sides, it was time for him to take advantage of the victory to pursue and establish the supremacy of the Turkic Khan. A large number of iron tools are required. But the Tang Dynasty came to such a hand at this critical time, which really made him panic in his heart.
"Damn! Damn the cunning Han people, when I eliminate Jieli Lao'er and sit firmly on the throne of the Khan King, I will definitely make you look good! Tuli put down his cruel words, but his face was still worried. There is no way at all, the smelting technology of the Tang Dynasty is too sophisticated, and their Turks are far from being able to match it. The sharp weapons made in the Tang Dynasty were not only lethal, but also durable in war. It's not easy to speak, but it's really easy to use. However, once the swords of the Tang Dynasty were broken, they did not have the smelting technology to re-forge and repair, and could only repair them in a rough way or with Turkic smelting technology, or even rebuild them in the furnace to restore the sharpness of the weapon.
This also destroys the texture of the weapon itself, resulting in a situation where the weapon becomes a decayed object.
Battles and battles. We should give full play to all our advantages in order to achieve victory with the most certainty.
In order to win the next crucial battle again, Tuli plans to make the next trip. A large amount of money was purchased as a sharp weapon of the Tang Dynasty as a winning capital. But now, it can only be hehe.
For a while, Tuli also felt regretful. There should be no premature showdown with the Tang Dynasty.
Yi Nan was silent, but his heart was happy, since the explosion of Tuli's strength, he has been marginalized, saying that it is an alliance, but Tuli treats him as a refuge, which makes him very unhappy, but the gap in strength is there, he can only forbear, and now the Tang Dynasty has pinched Tuli's lifeline, Yi Nan can't help but gloat. Before, he advised Tuli not to go too far, but Tuli didn't listen, but now it's okay, he deserves it. (To be continued.) )
