Chapter 343: Conquering the Turks
Jicheng was the capital of the Ning Dynasty, so it developed quickly, and with the opening of the railway, Jicheng was extremely prosperous for a while!
The 300,000 soldiers of Jicheng have become extremely powerful after a year of training, but to deal with the Turks, a nomadic people, they still have to rely on cavalry!
At this time, the Uighur prince sent an envoy to Li Yao, saying that he needed Li Yao's help!
The Uighur prince had provided him with a lot of military horses over the years, and he was still his brother-in-law, so Li Yao warmly received the envoy sent by the Uighur prince!
As soon as the Uighur envoy entered the palace, he knelt down and shouted: "See the Emperor of the Ning Dynasty!" ”
Li Yao said: "Flatten, give a seat!" ”
The Uighur envoy hurriedly stood up and sat down on a stool next to him, and Li Yao asked, "I wonder what happened to you on this trip?" ”
The Uighur envoy hurriedly said: "Emperor Hui Ning, my prince wants your help to seize the position of Uighur king, and my prince has said that if you can send troops to help, we Uighurs will respect you as emperor for generations to come, and become your vassal state!" ”
When Li Yao heard the envoy's words, he thought, "It seems that the Uighur prince is under great threat, otherwise he would not have used this method to seek himself!" ”
Li Yao asked, "Can you explain why your prince would ask me for help?" I have provided him with a lot of food and pig iron in the past few years, and his power should become stronger, if he needs my help in this way, then he is really too weak! ”
The Uighur envoy hurriedly said: "Emperor Ning, you don't know that our Uighur prince is supported by the Turks, so our prince needs your help!" ”
When Li Yao heard the word Turkic, he immediately said: "Okay, since your prince needs my help, then I will definitely help you, you go back and tell your prince that my three troops stationed in the Uighurs will immediately reinforce you, and I will send a force of 30,000 cavalry to the Uighurs to help you, and I will also send troops from Jicheng to attack the Turks to contain the Turks and not to your Uighurs!" ”
When the Uighur envoy heard Li Yao say this, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you Emperor Ningchao!" ”
After the Uighur envoys left, Li Yao said to the blind man: "You lead 30,000 cavalry to meet the local commanders, you must ensure your own safety to help the Uighur princes, and you must not put yourself in danger, their role is to provide us with high-quality military horses, and there is no other role, so the most important thing is to protect yourself!" ”
The blind man nodded and said, "Big brother, I know, you can rest assured, the Uighurs are not our place, I will definitely pay attention to the safety of the troops!" ”
Li Yao is ready to personally conquer the Turks this time, but it is definitely inappropriate to rely on his own army alone, so Li Yao is ready to clear the Turkic bandits of the Jin State first, and then let the soldiers of the Jin State advance to consume the Turks, and then he is giving the Turks a fatal blow!
Because there are not many cavalry troops in their own country, it is impossible to inflict a fatal blow on the Turks with ordinary methods, so you must think of a usable way!
Li Yao took 200,000 foot soldiers and 50,000 cavalry to clear the Turkic army of the Jin State, at this time the Jin State was about to be scattered by the Turks, and had already suffered from drought and locust plagues, and finally survived this difficult era, and could develop well, but found that his people were gone, because of the locust plague and drought, and the local government did not open a warehouse in time for disaster relief, so the people of the Jin State fled when they should have fled, and the people who did not flee wanted to survive these disaster years, but the Turks did not plan to stop, because of the disaster year of the Jin State, As a result, there is no food, so the Turks can't grab food, and the Turks who don't have food can only go deep into the Jin Kingdom and grab things when they see them!
So the people who planned to stick to the local area were also scared away by the Turkic bandits, a few years have passed, the Turks have not stopped harassing the Jin State at all, and sometimes they often cross the border, and the places north of the Yellow River, the Turks often run over to plunder, but fortunately, the troops north of the Yellow River are strong, and the Turks do not dare to go deeper, at least they will run away after a little looting!
The alien race came to loot the things of the Han people, which made Li Yao very annoyed, so Li Yao, the Turkic force, must be solved!
Li Yao first asked the envoy to send an envoy to the Jin State, saying that he would come to the Jin State to exterminate the Turks, so that the Jin State would be ready to meet it!
Because the Jin State is a vassal state of the Ning Dynasty, the safety of the Jin State Li Yao is to be protected, and at the same time, Li Yao does not need to go through the consent of the King of Jin if he wants to bring a large army to the Jin State, he only needs to inform him, and he can directly bring the army over!
When the king of Jin received the news of the envoy of the Ning Dynasty, he immediately asked the second prince Cheng Peng to go with a large army to meet Emperor Li Yao of Ning!
Because the second prince Cheng Peng had dealt with Li Yao, the king of Jin asked Cheng Peng to greet him, after all, he had seen it, and it was convenient to communicate!
Cheng Peng led an army of 100,000 to the border of the Jin Kingdom, and Li Yao also came to the border with an army of 250,000. ”
Li Yao helped him and said, "Get up, they are all acquaintances, there is no need to make such a big gift!" ”
Cheng Peng said humbly: "Your Majesty, this is the etiquette of the line, you can't spend it!" ”
Li Yao honestly doesn't like this kind of kneeling ceremony, but now the external troubles have not been calmed down, so he doesn't have time to sort out these etiquette things, so he has to do it first!
Li Yao said: "Cheng Peng, the purpose of my coming this time, I think you know it now!" ”
Cheng Peng nodded and said, "Your Majesty is here to solve problems for our country and drive out the Turks!" ”
Li Yao said: "It's not enough to just drive out the Turks, we have to solve the Turks, otherwise after a while, the Turks will come back!" ”
Cheng Peng was of course very happy when he heard that Li Yao was going to solve the Turks, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, then how can we solve the Turks?" The Turks are all cavalry, coming and going without a trace, and they are also very cunning, when they see the weak, they go up, and when they see the strong, they immediately avoid, it is really difficult for us to hit them hard! ”
Li Yao said: "Because of this, I need your help!" ”
Cheng Peng seemed to understand what Li Yao meant, swallowed his saliva and said, "Your Majesty, do you mean that you want to use my soldiers as a guide to lead the Turks to attack?" ”
Li Yao nodded and said, "You are really smart, how about my suggestion?" ”
Cheng Peng looked at Li Yao and said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I won't be able to call the shots!" ”
As soon as Cheng Peng finished saying this, the atmosphere suddenly cooled down!
Li Yao stared at Cheng Peng and said coldly: "I am Emperor Ning, I am announcing orders to you, not asking for your opinion!" ”
Cheng Peng suddenly felt Li Yao's coercion, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am absolutely obedient to your orders, but I am not the King of Jin, and I can't command these armies!" ”
Li Yao stared at Cheng Peng and suddenly smiled, and said, "Do you want to be the king of Jin!" ”
Cheng Peng heard Li Yao's words, suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Yao, he realized that this was an excellent opportunity, as long as he said he was willing, with Li Yao's ability, he could definitely make himself the king of Jin, the throne of the king of Jin, even if it was worth it to be a puppet in the future, if there was no help from Li Yao, then he would definitely have no chance with the king of Jin, and he would still be sent to the frontier at the time, and sooner or later he would be killed by the Turks, in comparison, a puppet with the title of King Jin on his head is much better!
Cheng Peng made up his mind in an instant, and then said firmly: "I want to be the king of Jin!" ”
Li Yao walked up to Cheng Peng, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "That's good, let's go, let's go to Jindu, go there to recuperate for a few days first, and deal with the Turks!" ”
Li Yao's army of 250,000 came to the capital of Jin, and the king of Jin personally led hundreds of civil and military officials to come out to greet him, and the elderly king of Jin saw Li Yao, and immediately knelt down and said: "See Your Majesty, long live my emperor!" ”
Li Yao personally helped King Jin up and said, "King Jin is in good health now?" ”
King Jin hurriedly said: "Thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, the body of the subordinate is quite tough!" ”
Li Yao said: "King Jin, I see that your qi and blood are not smooth, and your body is dying, if you don't recuperate quickly, I'm afraid you won't live long!" I think Cheng Peng is very good, it is better to pass on the throne to him, he will definitely be able to lead the Jin Kingdom to prosperity! ”
The king of Jin was also shocked when he heard Li Yao's naked words, and when the prince of Jin heard Li Yao's words, he trembled, and quickly knelt down and said, "Father, you have to think twice!" ”
Li Yao glanced at the eldest prince of the Jin Kingdom and said, "Who are you?" How do you do this! ”
King Jin hurriedly said: "This is Wu'er, don't blame Your Majesty!" ”
Li Yao looked at the eldest prince of the Jin Kingdom and said, "Since you are the son of the King of Jin, then forget it, spare your life, get out!" ”
King Jin looked at Cheng Peng, and then looked at the 250,000 troops behind Li Yao, especially the firearms troops, dozens of artillery pieces have been erected, if he doesn't agree with Li Yao's decision, it is estimated that the Jin capital will be gone today!
So he could only say: "Your Majesty is really talented, I have long intended to establish Peng'er as the king, and it just so happens that Your Majesty is also here this time, then please ask Your Majesty to give Peng'er the throne of King Jin!" ”
Li Yao laughed and said: "Since the King of Jin has said it, then I will also push the boat with the water, where is Cheng Peng?" ”
When Cheng Peng heard Li Yao's words, he immediately ran out, knelt down and said, "See Your Majesty, long live my emperor!" ”
Li Yaoshuo said: "Since your father is optimistic about you, then I will crown you as the king of Jin under the witness of hundreds of thousands of people in the Jin Kingdom, and you will have to manage the Jin Kingdom well in the future, understand?" ”
Cheng Peng immediately said: "The minister obeys the order, thank you Lord Longen!" ”
When King Jin heard Cheng Peng's words, his already old face became even older in an instant, and suddenly his eyes rolled and he fainted!
Li Yao said: "Quickly pass on the imperial doctor, hurry up and treat the old Jin King!" ”
Then the guard regiment behind Li Yao quickly went out to carry the old Jin king to the back, and the eldest prince of the Jin Kingdom saw that the old Jin king was carried away, and immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, what does this mean?" The king of Jin has fainted, why is he still carrying it to the wilderness? ”
Li Yao didn't pay attention to the prince of Jin at all, but said to Cheng Peng: "Cheng Peng, you are now the king of Jin, the old king of Jin is no longer in good health, and the prequel to death is located in you, you must govern the Jin country well, now hurry back to the city and govern the Jin country!" ”
Cheng Peng understood what Li Yao meant, glanced at the eldest prince of the Jin Kingdom, and then said: "Your Majesty, now that the Jin Kingdom is too chaotic in the wilderness, I invite your 250,000 troops to also enter the city and station, so that the security is much higher!" ”
Li Yao nodded and said: "Since the King of Jin sincerely invited, then I will be disrespectful, and pass the order down, and the 250,000 troops will be stationed in the Jin capital!" ”
The eldest prince of the Jin Kingdom hurriedly said: "Cheng Peng, how can this be, how can foreign troops enter the capital of our country!" ”
Cheng Peng glared at the eldest prince of the Jin Kingdom and said: "How did you talk to me, I am the king of Jin who was passed down by my father to hundreds of thousands of people and hundreds of civil and military officials across the country, how did you talk to me!" ”
The eldest prince of the Jin Kingdom glanced at Cheng Peng and said, "Okay, then I'll go back first!" ”
Cheng Peng said: "Without my permission, who let you go back, come on, tie me up, put me in prison, and deal with it at a later date!" ”
The civil and military officials of the Jin Kingdom were all surprised to see Cheng Peng do it so quickly, but looking at Li Yao's 250,000 army, they all lowered their heads, and no one dared to say that Cheng Peng was wrong!
Cheng Peng looked at the civil and military officials and no one spoke, and knew that they had recognized their status, although this time it was just a fox and a fake tiger, but Cheng Peng clearly saw and felt the power of power, so he hurriedly walked in front of Li Yao, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, I have prepared a dinner in the palace, please enjoy it!" ”
Li Yao nodded and said, "Let's go, lead the way ahead!" ”
The 250,000 army entered the Jin Kingdom, and Li Yao and Cheng Peng also came to the palace, and the dinner party began surrounded by hundreds of civil and military officials of the Jin Kingdom!
Cheng Peng was very excited tonight, he never thought that yesterday he was still a prince who was about to be exiled to the border, and today he is already the king of Jin, he glanced at Li Yao, clenched his fists and said: "I will become such a powerful person one day!" ”
Li Yao beckoned to Cheng Peng and said, "Your father and the eldest prince of the Jin Kingdom, you can do it, I hope you can govern the Jin Kingdom well tomorrow, otherwise I can change people at any time, do you understand?" ”
Cheng Peng immediately nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I know how to do it, I will definitely give you an answer tomorrow morning!" ”
The next day, the Jin State held a funeral throughout the country, because the old Jin King died, and the Jin Prince also committed suicide because of the collision with the new Jin King, and then committed suicide with guilt, Cheng Peng held a funeral for the two relatives under the witness of the civil and military officials, and then prepared to lead the army to follow Emperor Ning to conquer the Turks, and lay a complete country for the Jin Kingdom!
In the carriage, Li Yao looked at Cheng Peng, who was riding a horse on the side, and said secretly: "I didn't expect this person to be ruthless enough, kill his father and brother, without blinking his eyes, it seems that on the way to the Turks, he must be let die, otherwise he will definitely become a big trouble for himself!" ”
Li Yao's strategy is very simple, that is, let Cheng Peng go ahead with a large army and supplies, while he is ambushed on the only way for the Turks, and when the Turks kill Cheng Peng, he can kill the Turks, so the geographical location must be chosen!
After choosing the geographical location, Li Yao let out the wind, saying that the Jin Kingdom would transport a large amount of grain, and the Turkic army had been looting in the Jin State for a long time, just to grab food and women, so when he heard that there was endless food, he was like crazy, and gathered to the Jin State, and gathered 500,000 troops for a while, Li Yao saw such a large number of Turks, and sneered: "If you kill these large armies, you won't have to worry about the Turkic problem within a hundred years!"
