Chapter 386: Stumbling Block

Tuli was defeated and lost, led the people to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, Jieli was not angry, and sent the young patriarch of the Ural tribe who was close to the rise of Ashina Moruya Xing 40,000 elite soldiers to pursue, and the two sides fought a decisive battle again on the bank of a small river in the grassland, but the result was a big surprise and a big difference, the entire army of Ural was annihilated, and Ashina Moruya could not take revenge, but died tragically at the hands of Qin Feng, the general of the Tang Dynasty.

Taking advantage of the victory, the Tang Shuofang Front Army entered the steppe and once again waved its butcher's knife at the location of the Ural tribe.

With the strong support of Jieli, the Urals annexed many tribes that defected to Tuli when they saw the wind and made the rudder, and returned to Jieli when they saw that the situation was not good, and after a short period of development, the Ural tribe was also a powerful tribe in the steppe. But their patriarch died, and none of the 40,000 elite soldiers returned alive. That is to say, the huge Ural tribe is like a peerless beauty who has stripped naked without the slightest resistance, appearing in front of a group of perverts, but this "peerless beauty" has hundreds of thousands of livestock, as well as hundreds of thousands of women and children, which is a huge wealth in the grassland, many tribes are ready to move, but when they act, stealing chickens and rice is not a loss, because these greedy guys are all wiped out by the Tang Army, as for the more than 10,000 combat power that the Ural tribe hastily assembled, The Tang army killed it with only one charge, leaving not a single piece of armor left. In the end, not only the Urals, but also the nearby twenty-eight small and medium-sized tribes all became the pockets of the Tang army, guarded by the 40,000 army, like ants moving, rushing to the Tang Dynasty, sending fresh blood to the increasingly strong Tang Dynasty, as for the hundreds of thousands of captives, they had to go through a year of labor reform, and paved the way for the Tang Dynasty to build bridges free of charge, and after a year, those who performed well could be turned into the people of the Tang Dynasty, taking the family as a unit, assimilating into the vast sea of the Han people, as for the bad performance, continue to work for free, Until he completely lost his wildness, the only thing that was particularly bad was to eat the board knife noodles.

Under the elimination of the other, sooner or later, the Turks will let Datang drain its blood, leaving only an empty shell, on the contrary, Datang will continue to grow. The eyes of those people in the court were so vicious, this time not only did they not impeach Qin Feng, but they also praised them a lot.

The Benevolence, Righteousness and Moralists were satisfied, because they could spread all kinds of advanced humanist ideas nearby, and Qin Feng did not destroy the tribe, which also showed that Qin Feng's anger had been subtly resolved by them.

The realists are also satisfied, because the population is the shortcoming of Datang, and this time there are suddenly more than 100,000 more people, which is definitely an intangible wealth. Without population, no matter how vast the Turkic lands were, they were useless. Qin Feng's hand is more vicious than the Tu clan in terms of far-reaching influence.

As for the Turki tribe, it was also inevitable that he would decline, and in that battle he had more than 23,000 dead and more than 6,000 seriously wounded and disabled, which meant that he had only 20,000 to fight. What can 20,000 people do? Throw them into the sea of people, and they will not be able to raise a wave.

Knowing that the general trend was gone, Tuli wisely chose to surrender unconditionally. The practice of knowing the Turks was courteous to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, who personally received him, the second khan of the Turks, and held a banquet to entertain him.

Moreover, he was also extraordinarily kind, not only did not split his tribe, but also specially carved out a large grassland in the Shuobei grassland to settle down in the eastern part of Tuli, and forever be the barrier of the northern Tang Dynasty.

When Jieli received this information, he was furious, but he was helpless.

Tuli was originally in his pocket, but because of Xue Yantuo's attack, Datang picked up a ready-made bargain and took over all of Tuli's property.

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. Jieli is no longer the great khan who used to be the same, especially Jieli, who has lost the arm and blade of the Urals, and his life is even more difficult. Many tribes began to disobey the yang and the yin, but secretly they had a relationship with the Tang Dynasty.

No matter how stupid Jie Li is, he also knows the severity of the situation, if he continues to fight, he will become a loner, and will eventually be eliminated by the law of survival of the fittest.

But the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop. When Jieli was about to withdraw the army, Yi Nan, who got the news, suddenly knew that he had let Jie Li deceive, and only then did he know that what he was in front of was a military camp with a strong outside and a bluff, and found that the fooled Yi Nan integrated 30,000 Tiele cavalry, and Huo Ran sent troops.

Under the anger of Jieli, the whole army attacked, and the two sides launched a big battle on the grassland, and Jielizuo relied on the numerical advantage to repel the hastily organized Tiele strong army led by Yi Nan.

Jieli couldn't bear the casualties, and after repelling the Tiele coalition army, he didn't stay long, and withdrew in disgrace. But the idea is beautiful, the reality is cruel, how could Yi Nan, who is good at grasping the situation, give Jieli a chance to breathe, and he was under the pressure of collapse, and directly lit up 20,000 Tiele knights again, and killed the Turks in a mighty way. Like a moth attached to the bone, it is entangled in Jieli, chasing Jieli and fighting. It has given full play to the essence of guerrilla tactics, and has brought into full play the essence of guerrilla tactics, giving full play to the "enemy advancing and retreating, the enemy stationed and disturbing us, the enemy being tired and fighting us, and the enemy retreating and chasing after me," and brought the mobility into full play.

Although the mobility of the Turkic cavalry is not bad, in the case of communication, the side that takes the initiative to attack clearly occupies the initiative.

In the face of Yi Nan's repeated attacks, the Turks made Yi Nan jump and turn the world upside down throughout the winter, and the whole winter seemed to be in a panic.

Stimulated by Qin Feng and the strong support of the imperial court, not only Qin Feng, but also Li Ji and the steppe of Daizhou's first line were sent to the grassland, and Qin Feng was east and west, seizing the population and livestock of the Turks. Like a leech, it feeds on the blood, bone marrow, and life force of the Turks.

Jieli is like a tiger that falls into Pingyang. Let Xue Yantuo in the north and the Tang Dynasty in the south force one head and two big, and the thunder is like thunder.

In the end, under the planning of Zhao Deyan, at the end of winter, Jieli launched a successful counter-encirclement. Trapped 20,000 Tiele knights and launched a bloody battle of revenge.

100,000 Turkic soldiers besieged and killed 20,000 Tiele knights, and the Tiele people also showed their bravery, breaking through the siege and fleeing into the hinterland of Xue Yantuo at the cost of more than 18,000 soldiers.

Jieli was able to go south with peace of mind, but after suffering a small loss from Xue Yantuo, he did not dare to go deep into Xue Yantuo and annihilate this rising strong enemy.

Xue Yantuo was also seriously injured by Yuanxing, and the army that Yinan pulled in Tuli was also depleted. Xue Yantuo's army was originally a recently established army, not only insufficient soldiers and horses, but also some untrained herdsmen, it was okay to fight a good battle, once it encountered defeat, it was a situation of scattering, and now after repeated mobilization. Moreover, Yi Nan is not focused on plunder, which has caused a great military burden to the clan. Now tens of thousands of young and strong laborers in the headquarters have been lost, which has made the original bad situation even worse. Xue Yantuo is also unable to fight again in the short term, what Yi Nan has to do now is to persuade the tribes and integrate people's hearts, in order to have a decisive battle next year.

If you want to be fast, you can't reach it, Yi Nan understands this truth.

**********

Emperor Chang'an!

The Great War is coming!

Li Shimin and his top team have also shifted their focus to the war.

The distance between the Turks, Xue Yantuo and Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, is thousands of miles, but their situation is like snowflakes, little by little to Li Shimin's case, so that he, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the supreme commander of the Tang Dynasty, knows the situation in the north well.

The emperor looked at the battle reports, every day was smiling, proud, a powerful threat, under his planning, is collapsing step by step, day by day, this kind of mental victory, not everyone can understand.

On this day, the news of Xue Yantuo's defeat also reached him on this day......

Looking at Xue Yantuo's fiasco report, Li Shimin's fingers kept beating on the desk, and below him were his most relied on confidants: Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, eldest grandson Wuji, Hou Junji......

"This Yi man, in order to get the support of my Datang. What a loss! Li Shimin said with a smile.

Hou Junji preemptively said: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different." Yi Nan so. There must be something to be desired, and the more he is like this, the more he cannot keep him. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's gaze swept over Hou Junji, revealing a trace of disappointment.

Du Ruhui frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

Fang Xuanling smiled indifferently: "What Lu Guogong said is right, Xue Yantuo and Yi Nan are so angry with my Tang Dynasty, their ambitions are indeed not small. But I mean that it is better to use it than to destroy it. With the current situation of my Datang, if I want to destroy the two tribes in one fell swoop, I am really a little weak. Moreover, the Turkic land is so vast that it is impossible for us to occupy all its territory, so we can only support it within a controllable range. ”

Li Shimin glanced at Hou Junji dissatisfiedly, this Fang Xuanling was the mastermind under his command and the head of all the strategists. Although there is no explicit stipulation, first come, first come, but in this case, Fang Xuanling should be the first to be regarded as the basic respect. Hou Junji was eager to answer, and he really wanted to show it.

Fang Xuanling is elegant and elegant, and he doesn't care about these, but as the leader, he can't help but care.

Hou Junji made Li Shimin stunned, and he was shocked in his heart, and he didn't dare to do anything unusual: deep in his heart, he was extremely anxious.

He regarded Qin Feng as his opponent, but Qin Feng was now going farther and farther, and he was still standing still, anxiously holding the idea of grabbing performance in his heart. But he didn't want to let Li Shimin warn him just when he opened his mouth, and he was extremely depressed.

The eldest grandson Wuji bowed his head and said: "The subordinates agree with Fang Zhongyun's opinion, Xue Yantuo lives in Mobei, which is deeper than the Turks, and does not talk about the past when he fights Xue Yantuo. If it is to be fought, the front line will be more than doubled, how can the economy support it? ”

Du Ruhui said: "Fighting Xue Yantuo, the gains outweigh the losses, and the expansion of the Western Regions is very important. ”

Li Shimin nodded silently and approved the suggestion of the three of them, although Hou Junji is talented, but after all, he is good at military affairs, and such political foresight is far inferior to Fang Mou Du Duan and the eldest grandson fox.
