When the Datang organization was actively preparing for the war, there was another bloody storm on the grassland. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Taking advantage of the mentality of his subordinates who were afraid of Jieli and the bad behavior of Jieli, he successfully persuaded a group of subordinates with different moods to once again unify their strategic thinking, and then he divided 50,000 iron cavalry baptized by the Great War into the forward, rear, left and right wings, and escorted more than 200,000 herdsmen and endless cattle, sheep, and horses to Shuofang for a great retreat. In order to survive, some herders also took up weapons and bows and arrows, hoping to protect themselves in the event of a big war.

The large-scale migration of Tuli naturally cannot be concealed from Jieli's meticulous work.

They reported it to Jieli as soon as possible.

When Jieli got this information, he was furious, Tuli was already in his pocket, and those countless cattle had already made him regard it as a private property, and Tuli surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. The clansmen, cattle, sheep, military horses, and horses were moved into the territory of the Tang Dynasty and controlled by the Tang Dynasty, which was no different from cutting off his Jieli's flesh and releasing his Jieli's blood.

If it weren't for Xue Yantuo's Yi Nan sticking like a dog's skin plaster, he would have destroyed Tuli a long time ago and received all of Tuli's property, why would he wait until today?

In his anger, Jieli could only vent his anger on Xue Yantuo...... But today's Turks are not the Turks of the past, and they can be proud of the steppe.

Xue Yantuo is also a resident ethnic group in the grassland, which was formed by the merger of Xue and Yantuo, and is one of the Tiele tribes. The Tiele nation is a bit bleak, and the Tiele nation is recognized as brave and good at fighting in terms of combat effectiveness, and it is no exaggeration to call it the crown grassland. However, for hundreds of years, the Tiele nation did not produce a leader similar to the Xiongnu Maodun Shan Yu and the Turkic Ashina Tumen.

The leader is a person, but he has the power to turn the clouds and rain and support a dynasty and an era.

Maodun rose the Xiongnu and pushed the Xiongnu to the peak, and those who were as strong as the Han had to make peace with them, until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came out of the sky to save the face of the Han Dynasty. The same is true of Ashina Tumen, the Turks were originally not strong, they were nomadic in the Altai Mountains and belonged to a small tribe of Rouran, but Ashina Tumen relied on its own strategy to establish the Turkic Khanate and defeated Rouran to become the new lord of the Mongolian Plateau.

Humans are social creatures, but where they live in groups, the leader is extremely important. If the leader is a lion and a tiger, his subordinates are a flock of sheep, as long as they put on the wolf's skin, they are a pack of hungry wolves, and if the leader is a sheep, even if his subordinates are a herd of lions and tigers, they are like sheep.

Even if this situation is encountered by Tieler, the people of Tiele are brave and everyone knows it. Regardless of who was in charge of the steppes, the first thing they did was to treat Tieler well and recruit the Tierler warriors to serve under their command. Nearly half of the Turkic elite Tujae were Tiele people. They are as brave as the Tielers, but they have never once become the lords of the steppe, because they lack a leader, a figure who can lead them to rise.

The appearance of Xue Yantuo Yinan made the Tiele people see the backbone. In addition to being brave and good at fighting, Yi Nan is also benevolent and generous, regards money as dung, loves his subordinates, and is not very old, but he makes Xue Yantuo return to his heart.

Yi Nan held high the banner of righteousness and opposed Jieli, and the Tiele tribes such as Hui and Bayegu followed together, and their strength has long been different.

Jieli relied on the advantage of numbers to beat the Tiele army led by Yi Nan back to the north of the desert, but when he intended to go deep into the north of the desert to attack Xue Yantuo, he was fiercely counterattacked by the Tiele tribes.

Jieli couldn't bear the casualties and withdrew his troops in disgrace.

Now, Jieli is facing a dilemma, either to continue to fight with Xue Yantuo in the north of the desert, and then watch Tuli defect to Datang and fund Datang to become stronger. Or, let Xue Yantuo go for the time being, destroy Tuli in a flash of lightning, seize the material, and then avoid the edge of the Tang Dynasty and pacify Xue Yantuo, whose prestige has risen.

After the war, Jieli no longer had the strength to fight on two fronts.

Jieli slapped the case, and his eyes flashed with fierce color: "What a king and eight calves, what a long face." Sell me Turk like this, and as the Khan of the Turks, I can't tolerate this kind of villain who turns his back on my Turks. "The benevolence and righteousness he said was actually that he wanted to sell it himself, but Datang would never buy his account, who let Datang be offended miserably before.

At this time, a person beside him said: "Although you can't have both fish and bear's paws, it's not impossible to plan well." ”

Jieli was shocked and said, "What do you say Mr. Zhao?" ”

Mr. Zhao in Jieli's mouth is a Han scholar with a lupine scarf, and his surname is Zhao Mingdeyan. Zhao Deyan has been reading poetry and the art of war since he was a child, and he has a very high self-esteem, feeling that he can compete with the ancient Zhuge and Zhang Liang, and he has great ambitions. He lived in seclusion in the wilderness, hoping to be like Zhuge and be favored by the Lord and leave a good story. But no one pays attention to it, does nothing for half of his life, is not appreciated by others, and is cynical in his heart. In a fit of rage, he went north to the Turks.

Jieli's greatest ambition is to build a steppe empire, like the empire of the Central Plains, where its own culture can be passed down from generation to generation.

Zhao Deyan is very knowledgeable, seems to be proficient in everything, and dresses up like Zhuge Liang day and night, which seems a little unfathomable, and he is deeply valued by the sharp weapon, and entrusted with important tasks, and regards him as a figure like Zhuge Liang and uses it as his right-hand man.

Zhao Deyan shook his feather fan lightly and said: "King Khan, in view of the current situation, you can adopt the strategy of defending the north and attacking the south. We can't beat the Tiele tribes, but even overturn the big battle, Tiele is the same as the end of the strong crossbow, so far it is a lack of the ability to take the initiative to attack, only need to use the same force to deter, Tiele tribes resolutely do not dare to act rashly, at the same time, the Khan King divided a part of the army to the south, with lightning speed to defeat Tuli, seize the winter things and return immediately. And we are in the place of confrontation with Tieler, set up several times the number of soldiers, so that Tiele does not know the reality of our army, and when they come to their senses, the soldiers who have completed the task in the south are already in place, even if they fight, I have the advantage of victory, and with the Tuli batch of materials, even if we don't fight, we can also wear down Tieler. ”

"But there are still 50,000 soldiers in Tuli, and we will send about 40,000 people to say the least, if you count the 50,000 border troops that may be dispatched at any time to prevent the Tang army of Shuofang. To say the least, we have 80,000 warriors, which is already 70% of our troops, and with only 40,000 warriors, I am afraid that we will not be able to deter Tieler. ”

"Tuli has 50,000 troops, but they are tasked with escorting the tribesmen. If my guess is correct, Tuli will be divided into four guards, front, front, left and right, and it is correct to divide the troops, but there are too many herdsmen and cattle he needs to escort, and his battle line is too long, and he can't take care of the end of the line, and when we defeat one of them, the other three may not have come to their senses. The key to this battle lies in the word 'fast', after defeating all the way with lightning speed, decisively killing the herdsmen, driving the herdsmen and cattle of Tuli as the vanguard of our army, and breaking up the army formation of Tuli, no matter how powerful Tuli is, it is powerless. In the face of the turbulent victory, our army was in high spirits with a great victory, while the fighting spirit of the turbulent army was not high, and it was not necessary to defeat them with 40,000 people, but 20,000 people. Although Zhao Deyan is a literati, his evil spirit is extremely serious

Jieli shouted in a low voice: "Sir, this plan is certainly a clever plan, but it can expel the herdsmen to charge into battle, will this cause public anger?" ”

Zhao Deyan said without hesitation: "The first strike is strong, and then the first attack suffers." This is an immutable law for the ages, if not, how can we, who have lost most of our strength, survive the cold winter? In my opinion, as long as we are outside the territory of the Tang army and before we react, we will attack Tuli, kill Tuli, and integrate his men. At that time, the Khan King had more than 10,000 elites, and he could let all the tribes know how serious the fate of rebelling against the Khan King was. The truth on the grassland is that the strong are respected, as long as the Khan King is strong enough, he is still afraid of his anger. ”

Jieli's expression was grim, and he said, "What you said is very reasonable, so do it." ”

Zhao De knew Jieli's plan, and said: "If the Khan King Xingshi goes south, there is one thing to keep in mind. ”

Jieli arched his hand and said, "Sir, please speak." ”

Zhao Deyan said: "The purpose of this army is to seize the materials for our army to survive this winter, and after defeating Tuli, we can collect as many cattle as we can, and we must not delay too much time for the sake of livestock, if the Tang army kills, then it will be a big trouble." In order to deal with the possible Tang army, 20,000 people should be left on guard as elite soldiers who can fight at any time. ”

Jieli looked up to the sky and laughed, "What Mr. Zhao said is that if the Tang army doesn't come, the other 20,000 people will just gather that large number of cattle together. ”

Zhao Deyan said confidently: "I am ninety percent sure that Qin Feng of Shuofang will not send troops. ”

Jieli was overjoyed and asked, "How can you see it?" ”

"Since ancient times, the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty has a very strict control over the army, and the border general only has the right to defend. Therefore, there have always been many generals who have missed the fighter because they waited for the order of the imperial court. The Qin family has produced two great generals, and the limelight is unparalleled for a while, and the Qin family has long been envied, if Qin Feng sends troops again, it will definitely make people criticize and sue him. Qin Feng seems to have infinite scenery, but in fact, he is walking on thin ice and trembling. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Deyan said with great certainty: "Last time, Lord Kedun received news from within the Tang Dynasty, although Wumeng still could not escape the end of destruction, it also showed that the Tang Dynasty was not monolithic, and they were still full of internal contradictions. To this day, Li Shimin has not given Qin Feng an explanation, what does this mean? It shows that Li Shimin is also suspicious of Qin Feng, and he is also afraid of the influence of the Qin clan in the army. Qin Feng is a smart person, and he definitely won't let people seize the handle, besides, the Turkic infighting is exactly the situation they want to see, so I estimate that the possibility of Qin Feng sending troops is less than one percent. ”

"The gentleman has a point. Infighting will always be the reason for the demise of the Central Plains Dynasty. It is precisely the internal struggle in the Central Plains that has created powerful opportunities for our grassland peoples. Yi Nan is insidious and cunning, like a dormant poisonous snake, and I am not at ease when others guard me. Then, the battle to the south will be left to Ashina Meroya to fight. ”

Ecstatic, Jieli said confidently, and arranged it according to Zhao Deyan's intentions. (To be continued.) )
