"The Tang Dynasty is led by Wei Xi, the general of Zhengyi. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The generals led by him include Wang Xiaojie, Qi Biming, Cheng Wuting, Yang Chengxian, and Cheng Boxi.

There are more than 300,000 people in the army, and 500,000 migrant workers in front of the support, which is huge! ”

"That's the situation, what do you say!" In the Golden Horde, after the scout officer introduced the situation of the Tang army that arrived, the Khan Ashina Gu Dulu looked around and asked everyone.

There was silence, even the most arrogant generals were silent, no one dared to do anything, in case they couldn't keep their mouths and shouted, give the khan a "Very good, you go to be a pioneer." "Then it's a dilemma.

The shadow of the name tree, although Wei Xi said that he had never fought with the Turks, but the Tubo people did nothing for him, so he might as well harm the Turks to use his name to scare their children not to cry.

Cheng Wuting is also a good hand, and he made the Turks embarrassed, and ran away when he saw it.

Moreover, the horses of the Tang army, he X is fat and strong, while the horses of this army are all thin and thin, and they are clearly here to bully the Turks.

The Turks raised horses freely, although it was convenient, but spring thinness could not be avoided, they did not have the agricultural productivity of the Tang Army, the Central Plains Dynasty fed the horses with grain, and the luxury was so extravagant that the horses could not lose fat by feeding the horses with beans! (Therefore, the Hu people are often in the autumn and the horses eat a summer grass and have fat before they come to invade the south, otherwise the horses without fat can't run and don't count, and they are easy to hang up after long distances)

If you can't beat it, if you run away, you will be laughed at, and if you drag the Khan out and whip it, wouldn't it be dangerous.

Hu Ren was straightforward, and Wang Brother Ashina Mo simply said neatly: "I can't fight!" Run! ”

Just in line with everyone's wishes, unanimously passed!

We are Hu people, it is our nature to run if we can't beat it, and if we say that we are turtles, we will be turtles.

The Tang army went forward and walked along the north bank of the Yellow River, the land was open, and the cavalry ran very comfortably, but the mood was depressed----- no one was confused.

Well, there is a group of Turks and tribes in front, and many people are afraid that there will be less than 2,000 people!

Everyone's eyes lit up, and then they dimmed as if the fire had been extinguished.

Those Turks, who have the Tang Army's banner leader, should be the tribe that came to defect to the Tang Army, and they can't be beaten.

They did not guess wrong, the Turks and the "Chinese" Han people have been entangled in grievances for hundreds of years, although there are many staunch anti-Tang elements, but there are also a lot of Tang fans.

Before coming, I discussed with Tang Jun's contact personnel, and Tang Jun said that this is not the past, no longer autonomous, but actually submissive, completely sinicized: using Chinese language, naming Han names, wearing Han clothes, practicing Chinese customs, believing in Buddhism, and so on.

After returning to Shun, everything is treated according to the Tang people, without discrimination, and everything that should be divided into fields and taxes must be done, of course, the government will give subsidies and teachings, so that the new tribes can integrate into the Tang Dynasty.

As for the head, depending on the number of people, they can be awarded officials, and there are higher rewards.

But there is one thing, if you have used the money of the Tang people, you will never accept it in the future, only death, don't treat the Tang people as Kaizi, now it is General Wei who is in charge!

Wei Xi was very prudent in his work, and set up a "resettlement office" (Tian/Chao characteristics), which was of high standard, under the direct management of Chief of Staff Jiang Zhi, and the money and personnel were not a problem, from literacy teachers to monks, providing one-stop services.

That tribe has a high degree of sinicization, and the head and those with a bit of identity can speak Chinese (but can't write), and they have heard propaganda that the conditions are lenient and acceptable, so the whole tribe has come to defect.

As the first tribe to vote, so he was treated very well, and the chief of staff, Jiang Shi, went to see the situation in person (he did not need to handle the reception), talked with the head of that tribe, got some information, and then returned to the Chinese army to discuss with Wei Xi.

"The Turks all ran away, and Wang Tingya's tent moved to Hangai Mountain (the Mongolian border to the north, thousands of miles away from the Yellow River), and there were at least 200,000 horses running together."

Jiang Zhi emphasized, "Running together".

Wei Xi immediately understood what it meant, people have the intention of hurting the tiger, the tiger has the ability to eat people's hearts, and the Turks are just showing weakness, but in the assembly of the army, there are 200,000 runs, and it is not surprising that it is likely to continue to gather 300,000 to control the strings, after all, they are all soldiers.

If the Tang army goes out, the situation will be reversed, and the other party will wait for work and fight a battle with the Tang army, and the winner will be the loser.

Victory, the Don army may be a crushing victory.

defeated, Wei Xi's undefeated aura was broken, and the morale of the Tang army was severely defeated.

Do you want to try the story of Huo Bi riding to Hangai Mountain in the Han Dynasty? "No matter what, build the city according to the plan first." Wei Xi said calmly.

The army walked along the north bank of the Yellow River, Jiang Zhi continued to send rangers to reconnoitre, knowing that there were no Turks on the wide front of 300 miles ahead, so he made a dispatch, most of the infantry did not advance, only 50,000 people and 10,000 engineers, and most of the infantry basically stopped in Shuozhou Daizhou and no longer advanced.

The 120,000 cavalry were all dispatched, and there were 100,000 former people, so a lot of silver was saved.

Saving money did not satisfy Luoyang, and overnight, a large number of rumors appeared in the officialdom.

"Is this to fight the Turks, is it interesting to come to the armed parade? Waste of state money and food! ”

"It's a great joy to strengthen your prestige, if you have a heart of disobedience, everyone will regret it too late!"

Of course, there are also people who support Wei Xi: "Our army is majestic, once upon a time, the Turks came and fought whenever they wanted, but now they are afraid of us, and we built the city smoothly and achieved our goal." ”

Wu Zetian is very calm, he just listens to anyone who says bad things, and does not interfere in front-line affairs.

The three divisions of the Tang army smoothly entered their respective regions and immediately began to build the surrendered city.

Generally speaking, those whose circumference reaches 1,000 steps are called cities; Those who go down to 500 steps are called the village; And below five hundred paces, it is only a fort; As for the one that is less than two hundred steps, it can barely be regarded as a beacon.

As a military city, the ordinary one is a thousand-step city, which is converted into a mile, which is just over three miles and less than four miles.

Get a 2,000-step city out, up to 10 meters, the wall is 12 meters wide, the cement pile is used as a support during the construction, and then the suspension plate ramming method is used, that is, the wooden stick is used to pass through the splint on both sides, and the rope is fixed and straightened, and the middle is filled with soil and tamped. Thousands of people shouted to rush to work day and night.

Not only repaired the city, but also overhauled the beacon tower around the perimeter to form a complete defense system.

In just one month, the three cities stood along the banks of the Yellow River, and built supporting houses, buildings, warehouses, cisterns, livestock pens, school yards, etc., because the Turks did not come to harass, but used more manpower to double the east side of the repaired city along both sides (although the new city wall was slightly lower and narrower, in case the enemy was strong and the defenders would retreat to the main city).

……

It was not until the beginning of July that the imperial court received news that the Tang army had successfully built the city, and Wei Xi would lead 100,000 cavalry to Hangai Mountain to fight the Turks.

The courtiers had a lot of discussions, some people were not optimistic about Wei Xi's attack, thinking that it would be difficult to repeat the great cause of Han Huo Hussar's sealing of the wolf Juxu, and more people blindly believed in Wei Xi's success.

The seventh day of the seventh month of July, Qixi Festival, Qiqiao Festival.

This festival came from the Han Dynasty, according to legend, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and in the Tang Dynasty, Tang Taizong and the concubines had a night banquet in the Wang Palace every Qixi Festival, and the palace maids begged for each other, and then spread, and to this day, Luoyang City is immersed in the joy of a festival.

In the afternoon, Guo Zhiju, a member of the Tongzhong Shumen, had just returned home from the court, and before he could sit down, he heard a commotion on the street.

"Good news! Good news! Good news! Our army beheaded 30,000 Khitans! The family who had gone to hear the news hurried into the main hall.

"What? Is it Khitan? Not Turkic? Guo Zhiju was taken aback, and grabbed Jia Ding Daodao.

"It's the Khitan, it's the Khitan!" Jia Ding gasped.

Guo Zhiju let go of his hand and muttered, "How can it be Khitan!" ”
