"Nephew, how did you see through all this!" Li Jing was very curious, this was the conclusion that he and Li Ji had come to after repeated deliberations based on the current situation, and the premise of this plan was that the eastern and western route armies must be obtained in the shortest possible time, and when the time came, Qin Feng, who was good at fighting tough battles, came to Dingxiang to assist Li Jing, and Li Ji skipped Dingxiang and killed directly to Wuyuan, in order to cut off the way back, Qin Feng could see through everything just through Li Ji's soldiers entering Wuyuan, which really made him feel extremely surprised. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Hey, hey!" Qin Feng scratched his head and said: "Actually, Uncle Wei Sanque Yi, I felt that something was wrong when I let Jieli go, but I was on the battlefield at that time, so I didn't think deeply, General Li Jida's battle report just gave me a hint, and finally convinced my suspicions." Although Jieli Khan is already a lost dog, panic all day long, but the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, Xue Yantuo's army is currently disabled by letting Jieli Khan, and it has also severely damaged Yi Nan, Yi Nan is now wounded, even if Xue Yantuo once again united with Tiele to the northwest to block, but without the personal command of Yi Nan, who is known for his prestige, the Tiele coalition army can not be twisted into a rope at all, they are fighting separately, they can't stop this mourning army, Jieli Khan is the enemy of my Tang Dynasty, but he is really amazing, If he was determined to flee to the Khan's court, Tiele would not have succeeded at all, and this was one thing; Second, it is analyzed from the grievances and hatred between my Tang Dynasty and Jieli Khan, if Jieli Khan is allowed to flee to the Khan's court in victory, and they converge and evacuate to the far north, it is impossible for us to completely eliminate this trouble in this ice and snow, Jieli Khan is also a British lord for the Turks, he was the king of the northern grasslands, sitting on hundreds of thousands of brave and warlike Turkic cavalry, which can be described as the first force in the world. When the Central Plains was in turmoil, Jieli Khan imitated the tribute system of the Central Plains, and asked the princes of the Central Plains next to the Turkic territory to pay tribute to them, to put it bluntly, they paid protection fees, and if they did not pay, they would send troops to rob them. ”

As a steppe people, the Turks have wolf-like habits, and will never face you head-on, they often form groups of 10,000 people, encounter weak annihilation, encounter large armies and flee, and specialize in looting villages, burning and looting. So that all the princes who were next to the Turks were powerless.

Whether it is Li Tang, Liu Wuzhou, Xue Ju or Dou Jiande, these heroes who dominate the party, they all have to obediently pay protection fees. Not to mention Gao Kaidao, Yuan Junzhang, and Liang Shidu, the little princes who are hung with Turkic thugs, they almost recognized Jieli as their father, and the Turks pointed to them wherever they fought.

This is also a helpless thing, even if Li Tang and Dou Jiande are not weak, they are really powerless in the face of the Turkic cavalry. The Turks slaughtered one village today, and tomorrow they will rob two counties, and in the long run, who can stand it, they can't let all the people live in the city, without farming or working.

Instead of the Turks coming to rob, it is better to obediently pay the protection fee, which can also avoid the casualties of the people, and the loss is not so serious.

But the most important thing is to pay the protection fee, so that they can have extra troops to expand their territory. Take Li Tang as an example, if they don't obediently give gifts to the Turks, what will they do to fight Guanzhong? Those tens of thousands of recruits, thank God for being able to defend against the Turks, how can there be any Tang Dynasty.

Under this mechanism, the Turks were able to acquire a large amount of wealth without a single soldier, and the prestige of Jieli Khan also rose.

"You're right, but what does it have to do with our strategy?" Li Jing smiled and continued to ask.

After thinking for a while, Qin Feng continued to Li Jing: "Jieli Khan is a masterpiece, and he sees it very thoroughly. Knowing that the richness of our Central Plains is not suitable for their Turks, the richness of our Central Plains is because of the farming culture, and farming is the basic of the Central Plains. And the Turks are the root is animal husbandry, and the grain that is abundant in our land is not horse grass. If Jieli had taken a fancy to the land of my Central Plains, the army would have been able to move south as early as the end of the Sui Dynasty when it was in turmoil. At that time, 100,000 Turkic iron horsemen, which prince could resist? ”

Li Jing was silent.

I think that at the beginning, when Li Yuan raised troops against the Sui in Taiyuan, the gang was only less than 30,000 recruits, and if he really encountered 100,000 Turkic cavalry in the field, it would definitely be the end of a wave of takeaways. Li Tang is a family, Li Yuan himself also has a certain identity and power, and the capital that started with the Li family is like this, and Liu Wuzhou and Dou Jiande, who are from the north, are even more bleak.

At that time, if the Turkic army really encountered the south, there was no second way except to retreat in the city. It was also because of this that Li Yuan had to be cheeky and let Liu Wenjing send an envoy to the Turks and pay protection fees, so he drew troops to attack Guanzhong, and Li Tang officially gained a foothold at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

"In addition, under my constant attacks and harassment, Jieli Khan decisively gave up the Shuobei grassland, which is rich in water and grass, and he retreated, avoiding the enemy on both sides, he gathered his strength in one place, and finally completely eliminated the Tuli Khan. It can be seen that Jieli Khan is a figure who knows how to advance and retreat, is sensible, and can bend and stretch. Qin Feng said with a high spirit, and finally said with great certainty: "Once Jieli Khan successfully retreats to the extreme north, when he integrates the entire Turk again, it will definitely be the time for him to go south again. In order to create wealth and improve people's livelihood, my Datang has always planned to reopen the famous Silk Road. In the future, we will face dozens of countries in the Western Regions, and if we fight them one by one, even if I Datang will not be 'belligerent and will die', I will lose people's hearts like Yang Guang, so I will not be able to control the world. Therefore, the Turks, led by Jieli Khan, must perish in this battle. Otherwise, Uncle, I, and General Li Ji will become the sinners of the Tang Dynasty and the Chinese nation through the ages......"

He said this, and strengthened his tone: "It is precisely because of the far-reaching significance of this battle that we must win this battle, and it must be a simple and neat victory!" I, a boy in my teens and a half, can see it, but I don't believe that Uncle and General Li Ji can't see it. Since we have seen it thoroughly, then, when the war has reached this point today, we don't dare to leave this crucial step to Xue Yantuo to complete. ”

Li Jing looked at Qin Feng blankly.

Xue Wanche also looked at Qin Feng blankly.

Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Jingde glanced at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Li Jing beckoned Qin Feng, Xue Wanche, Cheng Yanjin, and Wei Chi Jingde to sit down, took out a map from his sleeve without hurrying, spread it on the grass, and pointed to a place in the northwest of the Tiele Tribes: "This is a barren mountain, and the general's cavalry is hidden here." ”

Sure enough, as Qin Feng expected, Li Jing really had other arrangements.

"How many people did Uncle ambush there?" Li Jing asked.

"Just two thousand!"

"Just two thousand?" Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Jingde suddenly exclaimed, and their minds were dizzy, what can two thousand soldiers do?

Two thousand soldiers were not enough, and the Khan stuffed his teeth.

"It's only two thousand, and it's a fart." Cheng Yanjin shouted loudly, this time the Tang Dynasty sent 130,000 troops, Qin Feng 40,000, Li Shiji 40,000, Li Jing is the commander of the three armies, and there are the most soldiers and horses, full of 50,000.

130,000 soldiers seems to be a lot, but in addition to Qin Feng's 20,000 remnants and casualties, the cavalry that can take the role, the three armies add up to only about 40,000, and they are scattered everywhere. Jieli Khan must have evacuated to the north now, and the vast land north of Dingxiang and south of Wuyuan are almost all the relatives of Jieli Khan, here, Jieli Khan can gather seventy or eighty thousand warriors without any effort, and they are all cavalry at the head of a hundred armies, and this means that Qin Feng, who is about to go on an expedition, will be with 20,000 soldiers

Seventy or eighty thousand or more cavalry stumbled. I thought that Li Jing would ambush an army of 10,000 or more in front. But now at the critical moment, Li Jing proudly told everyone that he only had 2,000 cavalry available, 2,000 ......

Two thousand cavalry are worth it.

Pit people, this is!

Li Jing understood Cheng Biting Jin's temperament, so he didn't mind his doubts, but smiled calmly: "The 50,000 army can't grow wings to fly, how can it be concealed from the eyes and ears of the Turks and Tiele tribes, and the 50,000 army wants to go there without being discovered, it will definitely not work." However, it is much easier to use 2,000 soldiers, and it is not difficult to use this desert steppe to hide traces and quietly bring soldiers and horses. ”

He said this, and said pointedly: "Don't underestimate my two thousand soldiers. If it is used well, 2,000 soldiers are enough to take a big event and turn things around. In my eyes, these two thousand soldiers are two thousand, but in Jieli's eyes, I don't see it that way. In his eyes, my two thousand are fifty thousand, which is enough to threaten his army of fifty thousand. ”

Thinking of Li Jing's glorious achievements in capturing Jieli Khan in history, Qin Feng woke up when he heard this, Huo Ran stood up, his expression was moved, and his eyes were shocked, indescribable.

It is recorded in the "Old Tang Book" that the Turkic tribes rebelled, and the imperial court would try to forge ahead, and Zhenguan took Jing as the head of the march on the Daizhou Road for three years; In the first month of the fourth year of Zhenguan, the wind was cold, Li Jing led 3,000 horses, braved the severe cold, took Mayi by surprise, and went straight to the evil yang ridge to force it. Jieli Khan never expected that the Tang army would come suddenly, and the soldiers and generals looked at each other, and they were all shocked. They decided: If the Tang soldiers did not come from the country, Li Jing would never go deep alone, so he was "shocked a few times a day". Li Jing found out about it, and secretly ordered the spy to leave his henchman, and his relatives Kang Su came to surrender. In four years, Jing attacked Dingxiang, broke it, and was sent to Beijing after Yang Zhengdao, the son of Wang Xian of Sui Qi, and Emperor Xiao of Yang, and the Khan only escaped. Taizong tasted and said: "In the past, Li Ling raised 5,000 foot soldiers, and he inevitably surrendered to the Huns, and he still had the name of the book Bamboo Silk." Qing with 3,000 light horsemen went deep into the court, Ke Fu Dingxiang, Wei Zhen Beidi, unprecedented in ancient and modern times, enough to report the battle of Weishui in previous years. ”
