596 A great victory
readx;
Hearing the four words that the big thing is not good, Jieli jumped up naked and asked urgently, "The Western Liang Army is chasing after you?" "He is really a rumor and a soldier these days, and those who fled have forgotten that they were surprised and dominated. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tamul said: "The Xiliang army did not catch up, and the envoy from Xiliang came. ”
"How many emissaries have come?" Jieli asked.
"One."
Jieli kicked over, "What's wrong with that?" ”
Tamul wept and said, "I am afraid that most of the messengers have bad intentions. ”
"He really has the guts, and he dares to go to Dingxiang alone! To show off force? Jieli gritted his teeth, and there was no way to vent his resentment, so he only wanted to cut it into meat sauce in the future, and smiled cruelly, "Gather my subordinates, I want to meet this messenger today to see if he has three heads and six arms!" ”
Jieli came to the lobby and ordered the Turkic soldiers to stand on both sides, waiting for the arrival of the Xiliang envoy with murderous spirit. Zhang Liang came to the lobby calmly, holding only a box in his hand, and saw that the murderous aura was pervasive, neither humble nor arrogant.
After seeing Jieli, he bowed deeply and said: "In Xia Nai, the envoy of the king of Xiliang, Zhang Liang, the king of Yunguo, the Khan is above, please accept the next bow." Zhang Liang has always been a deputy general under Li Jing, but Xiao Buyi saw that he risked his life for the country, and immediately named him the Duke of Yunguo, firstly, as a reward, and secondly, to match his identity with the envoy.
Jieli was originally going to drag Zhang Liang out no matter what he said, and beat him up to vent his grievances, but it can be seen that Zhang Liang is so polite, but he hesitated for a while, wanting to hear what he said before making a decision.
Gu Jilu shouted: "Zhang Liang, what are you doing?" ”
Zhang Liang smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to open the box. Someone had stopped in front of Jieli to protect Jieli, Jieli waved his hand to let the guards dodge, and saw the box open, revealing a soft light that illuminated Zhangliang's face.
The box is filled with round pearls, which are crystal clear and jade, glowing with a faint brilliance. Jieli has robbed a lot of treasures, but he has never seen so many large pearls placed together, and he can't help but light up. When the surrounding patriarchs and Tong Jin saw it, they all showed envious eyes. They had seen countless jewels, but such a valuable thing was still rare, and if it weren't for the Khan's presence, they would have rushed up to grab it.
Zhang Liang held the box of pearls and said, "The king of Xiliang sent me here, just to discuss peace with the Khan. This box of pearls, talk about the heart. ”
The Turks were stunned, Gu Jilu's face was a little bitter, and Jieli was stunned: "What kind of peace?" He didn't expect that Gu Jilu and Xiao Buyi had no progress in the two negotiations, and when the Western Liang army won a complete victory, they actually wanted to negotiate peace.
Zhang Liang smiled and said: "Actually, the king of Xiliang has always admired the Khan for a long time. ”
Jieli smiled coldly, "He has been looking up to me for a long time, and he is still so vicious, chasing me relentlessly, if he looks up soon, he is afraid that he will cut off my head." Although he said this, it can be seen that Zhang Liang can speak again, and he also offers precious gifts, and his hatred for Xiao Buyi is undiminished, but his murderous intent towards Zhang Liang is much lighter.
Zhang Liang said: "When the two armies fight, either you die or I die, and many things are helpless." The Khan is the lord of the steppe and a warrior of the steppe, and of course understands this truth. ”
Jieli cut off coldly: "How does Xiao Buyi want to negotiate peace?" ”
Zhang Liang presented the pearl box with both hands, and saw that Jieli kept stroking the pearl, knowing that this person was not an ordinary greedy for money, he sneered in his heart, and said more respectfully on the surface: "In fact, if you talk about the past, the Khan and the King of Xiliang have always been well water and do not interfere with river water, thinking that the King of Xiliang is in the Eastern Capital, and the Khan is in the grassland tent, although they rarely interact with each other, they have really never moved to fight." But Li Yuan's old man was scheming, and instigated the fight between the Khan and the king of Xiliang for his selfish desires, which made Shanxi chaotic and the people unhappy. ”
Jieli said: "You are right. Li Yuan, this old man, hurt me very much. ”
Gu Jilu saw that the Khan was moved by Zhang Liang's words, and secretly thought that this kid really had some way to go out. Afraid that the khan would be persuaded by him, he gave up his vigilance and shouted: "If you say these useless words, how to negotiate peace, you can tell me in detail." ”
Zhang Liang took out Xiao Buyi's will from his arms and offered it with both hands, "This is the will of the King of Xiliang, and I invite the Khan to look at it." ”
Jieli ordered someone to take it, and he is not defenseless until now, knowing that there is a very famous allusion in the Central Plains, called Jing Ke's assassination of Qin, he can't help but guard against Zhang Liang's ghost and plotting against him. Before Zhang Liang entered the lobby, he had already been searched by the soldiers, and after Xiao Buyi's will was transmitted, he also asked Gu Jilu to open it first, and only then did Jieli take the list after seeing that it was okay.
Xiao Buyi's meaning is simple and clear, saying that the two countries are fighting each other, working the people and losing money, this king intends to negotiate peace, and sends envoys to come, and hopes that the khan will understand the righteousness and no longer use the army.
After reading it, Jieli was very dissatisfied, "Xiao Buyi is just a general talk, I don't see any sincerity in it!" ”
Zhang Liang said with a smile: "The non-King of Xiliang does not have any sincerity, but at the moment the King of Xiliang and the Khan have a deep contradiction. The king of Xiliang wanted to reconcile, but he was afraid that the khan would not agree, so he sent his subordinates to inquire first, and if possible, then continued. If the Khan had slaughtered him as soon as they met, there would have been no need to talk about anything. ”
Jieli's eyes were like torches, staring at Zhang Liang and said, "I really want to slaughter you." ”
Zhang Liang was fearless, and said in a deep voice: "Of course, it is a matter of effort for the Khan to kill me, but it is probably not what the Khan wants to kill me and make the people of the world suffer. ”
In fact, whether the people are suffering or not is not a matter of Jieli's business, but Zhang Liang said this, which made Jieli hesitate. After all, Jieli is only for profit, and who is in power in the Central Plains, as long as he can get benefits. Now that there is a big defeat, it is a good thing to see that his subordinates have no intention of fighting again, and if there is a peace talk to cover their faces.
"You've said so much, we don't know what conditions you're offering." Gu Jilu said aside.
Zhang Liang wanted to speak several times and stopped, hung up the other party's appetite, knew that he had temporarily saved his surname, and said: "I have the courage to spread the meaning of the king of Xiliang." The king of Western Liang told me privately that if the khan promised not to raise troops again, he could consider assigning Dingxiang and Mayi to the Turks. As for Yanmen, it has to take into account the face of the people of the Central Plains and cannot give it to ...... The Khan must have known that the king of Xiliang was ...... Alas! ”
Zhang Liang swallowed and vomited, with thousands of meanings, Jieli thought, most of Xiao Buyi has a good face, and he always has to bargain for the conditions that Gu Jilu originally offered.
"Is that all?" Gu Jilu said: "The three counties of Mayi, Yanmen, and Dingxiang are actually in the hands of the Khan, how can this Yanmen be given as a given?" "In fact, the Turks went south, and both Mayi and Yanmen suffered great disasters, which has become a virtual reality, and the people are scarce.
Zhang Liang said with a smile: "The Khan's loss, the King of Xiliang is ready to make up for it with some gold and silver, cloth or trading, the specific amount, of course, the Khan and the King of Xiliang have to discuss in detail." ”
"How can I be sure that what you say is true?" Jieli has been tempted.
Zhang Liang said: "I am fish and meat, and the Khan is a sword, in this case, if I don't get the promise of the King of Xiliang, how dare I deceive the Khan?" Is there really anything in this world that is more important than your own life? ”
Gu Jilu doubted: "You Central Plains people have always been scheming......
"In order to show his sincerity, the Khan will detain him and ask another envoy to meet the king of Xiliang, so that you can see whether what I say is true or false." Zhang Liang suggested.
Jieli hesitated and looked at Gu Jilu. Gu Jilu didn't want to go this time, he secretly thought about it again and again, he couldn't go again and again, when he had chips, he only went on two missions, and now in this situation, if Xiao Buyi also detains himself, it will be more than worth the loss.
Jieli thought that Xiao Buyi was most anxious to confront Tang Jun, so he was eager to negotiate peace with himself. Although the conditions are a little worse, it is time to recuperate. Knowing that Gu Jilu didn't want to go, he didn't force it, so his eyes turned and he fell on one person, and said, "Temur, you go and negotiate peace." ”
Temur stood up with a bitter face, "Khan...... This ......"
"You don't want to go?" Jieli's eyes were cold. Temur didn't dare to disobey, and said stubbornly: "I...... I...... Go for it. ”
When Shibi went south, he just wanted to enjoy happiness in the grassland, so he didn't follow Shibi, where did he think that Li Jing would make a big fuss in the grassland, and he would be miserable. This time Jieli went south again, Temur learned a lesson, since it is not safe to stay in the grassland, it is better to follow Jieli, he has always been out of the rear, retreat is the first, is to be safe and sound, where did he think that it was not easy to turn back Dingxiang, and was sent to a fatal errand.
The Turusu tribe is now in decline, and Kedun joins forces with the Khan, and Temur knows that his arms can't twist his thighs, so he can only lead the order to the south. Before leaving, only the old partner, that is, the Huxue tribe's Pu Lapa saw off, Pura sent Temur out of the city like a funeral, relative to a look, tears flowed, Pura even said to take care, Temur looked up to the sky and sighed: "In this world, it's not safe to go anywhere." ”
With emotion, Temur left, but Jieli in the city ordered the Turkic soldiers to tie up Zhang Liang and imprison him, and ordered a few people to guard it. Zhang Liang said that there was no shortage of three meals, and he was not abused, knowing that his current treatment was only temporary, if the conversation really collapsed, maybe he would have to worry about his surname immediately.
A few days have passed, Zhang Liang secretly thought that General Li had asked him to delay the Turkic soldiers for at least five days, and now this is almost the same, if General Li launches, he must also find a way to get out. During the dinner that night, Zhang Liang pretended that his hands and feet were tied and the numbness was not very neat, broke the bowl of eating, and then took a porcelain piece and hid it in the palm of his hand. The Turkic soldiers scolded and cleaned up, but did not notice Zhang Liang's small movements, Zhang Liang was tied up again, ready to cut the rope when it was quiet at night, and then escaped. He had already observed the terrain, and saw that there were only four Turkic soldiers guarding him, and they were all absent-minded. As long as you go to the binding, it is not difficult to kill him and escape, but the key is that he doesn't want to startle the snake, and he just thinks about delaying it for another night, since this is the case, it is better to escape before dawn.
While he was thinking about it, the door opened, and Gu Jilu walked in, his face sinking like water.
Zhang Liang's heart was slightly cold, and he smiled and said, "Qi Jin, are you looking for me?" ”
Gu Jilu looked at Zhang Liang coldly, and seeing that he was calm and calm, he suddenly laughed and said: "Of course it's looking for you, you didn't lie to us, Khan likes it very much." Walk...... I'll take you to the Khan. ”
Zhang Liang was puzzled, but accompanied by a smiling face, "How dare I deceive Khan and Qi Jin?" ”
Gu Jilu found someone to untie Zhang Liang, and then took him to the lobby, Jieli was high, and there was finally a little sunshine on his gloomy face, Temur was boasting in the spittle, there was a box of gold in the hall, and the light was shining, and Temur's face was shining with gold.
"Khan, the king of Xiliang really intends to reconcile, saying that you and his enemy are Li Yuan. So please ignore your past suspicions, and be willing to be friendly with you forever, and from then on, the Central Plains family in the grassland, in order to show sincerity, let me bring back a box of gold to express my heart. He said that the khan would wait for two more days, and that he would send the minister of the Eastern Capital with gifts to discuss the details of the peace talks. ”
Temur's face lit up, and he secretly thought that he had finally done something to show his face in his life. Zhang Liang was secretly funny, and his heart said that King Xiliang was a must in his play. Just these pearls and gold deceived Jieli's trust.
Jieli looked at Zhang Liang and said, "You are very good, I will not treat you badly." Tonight...... We Turkic warriors have a good drink, and you will count as one. ”
Zhang Liang said with a smile on his face: "Thank you Khan." ”
Thinking that Xiao Buyi really wanted to make peace, Jieli temporarily put down his worries, secretly thinking that his subordinates were tired these days, and he would also be rewarded. The Turkic soldiers were ordered to drink and slaughter cattle and sheep tonight to celebrate. Although Zhang Liang is still being watched, he can finally have a good meal these days. Everyone gave him a leather bag of barley wine, and he pretended to drink it, but most of them fell on top of his clothes, and by the middle of the night, many Turkic soldiers were already drunk, and Zhang Liang also pretended to be drunk and turned around. Two of the four men who guarded him were still conscious, and when they turned around the room, they tied him up again. When the door was locked, the four of them shouted in the outhouse, venting their dissatisfaction and depression, and after a while, they were silent, and they must have fallen asleep.
Zhang Liang said secretly, the Turkic soldiers relaxed their vigilance, if they attacked Dingxiang at this time, Guan Bao would win a complete victory. It's a pity that he can't do anything to report the news, and even if he can report the news, the Xiliang army may not be able to arrive. Looking at the situation today, it is better to delay for a few more days, and do not rush to leave tonight, so as not to startle the snake.
Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard some noise outside. A Turkic soldier suddenly said: "Yes......" He has not yet asked the word 'who', like a crowing chicken with its neck cut, with indescribable weirdness. Then outside the house was a few sounds, Zhang Liang had been on the battlefield for a long time, and felt that it was like the sound of a single knife entering the flesh, and he couldn't help but be horrified, knowing that there was a change outside the door, and he didn't know who the person who came was, whether he was an enemy or a friend. Unwilling to be restrained, his wrist was flipped, the porcelain piece was in his hand, and the flexibility of his fingers was used to cut the rope.
There was a knock on the door, and a man dressed in Turkic attire walked into the room with a chilly air. The lower edge of the felt hat covers half of the face, making it difficult to see the face.
Zhang Liang said in a low voice: "Who is it?" He didn't untie the rope, secretly thinking that he could break the rope and give the opponent a blow, and with his strength in his body, the man pushed away the felt hat and whispered, "I...... Zhang Ji! ”
Zhang Liang fixed his eyes and saw that the person was Zhang Ji, the iron-blooded guard under Xiao Buyi, and said happily: "You are here?" ”
The knife in Zhang Ji's hand flashed, and he had cut the rope on Zhang Liang's body, and said, "General Li ordered me to save you." ”
Zhang Liang was moved in his heart, secretly thinking that he would sacrifice his life to contain the Turks, Li Jing really did not forget himself, "What about General Li?" ”
"I'm going to go into the city. You change into the clothes of the Turks first, and I have one more thing to do. Zhang Jidao.
Zhang Liang was puzzled: "What's the matter?" ”
Zhang Jidao: "Kill Jieli!" ”
Zhang Liang was shocked, and couldn't help but admire Zhang Ji's boldness, "He has a lot of guards around him, but I'm afraid it won't be easy to succeed." ”
"Always try." Zhang Jidao. He took Zhang Liang out of the room and saw that the four Turkic soldiers had been killed, and blood was gushing. Zhang Liang was also a little chilled when he thought of Zhang Ji's method of killing. Knowing that his kung fu was good immediately, but when it came to martial arts, he was still inferior to Zhang Ji, and asked, "I'll go with you?" ”
"No, you don't." Zhang Ji shook his head and said: "You quickly changed your clothes, went out to the left, someone answered at the entrance of the alley, and the code was wind and thunder against the ground fire." ”
Zhang Liang knew that Zhang Ji had his own ideas for doing things, and it was inconvenient to intervene, so he quickly changed his clothes, covered his face with a felt hat, and didn't go far to the left when a person dressed in Turkic clothes greeted him and said in a low voice: "Wind and thunder." Zhang Liang answered the code, and the man lifted the felt hat, but it was Xiao Buyi's personal guard who had no regrets.
Fang Wuregret has been following Xiao Buyi, and although his kung fu is not high until now, his mind is extremely flexible, pulling Zhang Liang into a courtyard, and then lighting fireworks and releasing them.
With a 'snort', the fireworks flew high and were brilliant in mid-air.
Zhang Liang asked, "What is the situation now?" ”
"General Lee has arrived with cavalry." Fang has no regrets.
Zhang Liang was a little strange, thinking that if it was just a cavalry, why would he only arrive today? However, Fang had no regrets, and he didn't bother to ask more. Fang Wu regretted saying: "Up to now, more than a thousand cavalry have been mixed into this city. The Turks were careless, and besides, they had been waiting for the Turkic soldiers from all over Shanxi to turn back, so we took the opportunity to sneak in. They did not close the city gates, and let General Li drive straight in. ”
Zhang Liang didn't wait for an answer, only to see that there were fireworks in the distant sky, shining brightly, like a morning star. Immediately after the wind whistled, I saw a fire in the distance, and in a short time, there were fires everywhere in Dingxiang City. Zhang Liang said in his heart, use arson to create chaos, and then cooperate with the outside and the inside, tonight the Turkic soldiers are negligent in their defense, but they are afraid that even if there are 100,000 troops, they will collapse in one fell swoop. The timing of General Li's election is quite good, but what about Zhang Ji, I don't know what is going on now?
At this moment, Zhang Ji had quietly arrived in front of Jieli Khan's mansion.
Dingxiang was originally the territory of the Great Sui, when the Qimin Khan was weak, and he couldn't fight in the grassland, so he asked to attach the Sui Dynasty, so the Great Sui built a mansion for him and set aside this land for Qimin to live in. After the death of Qimin, it was a mixed residence of Turks and Central Plains people, which was regarded as a buffer zone for the two sides. After Jieli Khan returned to Dingxiang, he was obliged to live in the place where Qimin lived back then.
The courtyard is spacious, and there are many soldiers guarding it. But today, the carnival celebration, coupled with the cold wind to the bones, the lead clouds condensed, and seeing that it was going to snow, many soldiers retreated back into the house to keep warm, and the guard was very lax, Zhang Ji easily blended into the courtyard. Zhang Ji had actually rushed to Dingxiang two days ago, disguised as a Turk and mixed in, and had already paid attention to Jieli's residence, and after rescuing Zhang Liang, he did not hesitate to assassinate Jieli.
Jieli is the main culprit of the turmoil, and if he can be killed, the collapse of the Turkic army is not far away.
Li Jing was informal, and agreed to Zhang Ji's move. It's just that he coordinates the overall situation, and he has already seen the situation clearly, knowing that if Jieli dies, it is the icing on the cake, and Jieli's death has nothing to do with his plan. Zhang Ji can be said to be a brave man, coupled with rich experience, he actually touched Jieli's residence along the way. Seeing that a girl sent stews to an attic, I was secretly happy. He said yesterday that it was the place where Jieli rested, and there was a maid to go, indicating that Jieli was probably there. Taking advantage of the topography, climbing up from the side of the attic, it is as agile as a tanuki. Although there were Turkic soldiers in front, they were all looking from afar, and they all thought that someone had silently touched Jieli's side.
When I got to the roof, I hung the golden hook upside down, gently broke the window paper, and looked over, only to see that Yahuan was quietly withdrawing. The curtain on the bed hung low, and the figure of a man could be vaguely seen. Zhang Ji was overjoyed, afraid that it would change if it was too late, so he took a breath slowly and hit it with all his might. There was a 'click' sound, and the window edge was hit by him, and all of them cracked. Zhang Ji pounced like a tiger, rolled on the spot, and arrived in front of the bed. The man on the bed shouted, "Who? ”
Zhang Ji was a little familiar with the voice, and there was a slight difference in his heart, but he didn't have time to think about it, he stretched out his hands together, and only heard a sound of 'gurgling', and at that moment he shot at least ten hard crossbows into the curtain tent.
The hard crossbow was sharp, through the tent, only to hear a scream, the man had rushed out of the tent bare-chested, his body had been punched a few holes, Zhang Ji drew a knife, his hand rose and fell, and the man's head had been cut off.
He was moving faster than he thought, and it wasn't until the man's head flew up that he felt something was wrong. Ignoring the surging blood, he stretched out his hand to grab his head, and when he looked closely, his face changed slightly.
That man was not Jieli, but he was the backbone of the two envoys to the Western Liang military camp.
Every time Zhang Ji entered the camp with Gu Jilu, he recognized it at a glance. Zhang Ji was puzzled, secretly thinking that this was Jieli's bedroom, how could Gu Jilu be there?
His mind was flying, and when he heard a sound in the room next to him, Huo Ran turned his head, only to see Jieli only wearing underwear, looking at himself with astonishment.
The water on Jieli's body was not dry, his hair was wet and dripping, Zhang Ji had come to his senses, and as soon as he raised his hand, several crossbow arrows had been shot out. Jieli is also agile, seeing Zhang Ji raise his hand, he grabbed it back with one hand, and unloaded the door in front of him.
With a 'bang' sound, the crossbow bolt shot through the door panel, its strength had weakened, and Jieli roared angrily and threw the door over. Hands and feet are used together, and tables, chairs, and coffee tables have arrived. Zhang Ji didn't dodge, in the shouting, he rushed over like an arrow, only to hear a chaotic sound of 'ping pong', I don't know how many pieces of wood smashed on Zhang Ji's body, Zhang Ji gritted his teeth and resisted, waving his hand is a knife.
Jieli was not given in vain, one turned upside down, and actually jumped in front of the window. Zhang Ji's single knife was bloody, obviously he had struck Jieli, but the damage caused to Jieli was not great, Jieli jumped from the attic with a tiger leap. The air shouted, "Help me! ”
Zhang Ji secretly hated, rushed to the window to look, only to see the attic under the figure longing, Jieli had arrived in the guard, knowing that it could not be done, immediately decided, climbed the upper edge of the window, turned over to the roof, shook a few times, and disappeared.
Jieli trembled in fear, and in an instant, he was furious, and reached out to slap the guard beside him, shouting: "If you can't catch the assassin, don't come back to see me!" ”
The guards had gathered dozens of men, half of them protecting the Khan, and the other half making a detour to chase down the Assassins. But Zhang Ji had already paid attention to the way out before he made a move, and he went away, where could these people catch up?
In the cold wind, after Jieli's anger, he found that he was still naked, walked upstairs quickly and put on his clothes, glanced at Gu Jilu's head, his eyes breathed fire, and he punched heavily on the table, just thinking in his heart, who sent the assassin, could it be Xiao Buyi?
Thinking of this, Jie Li shouted, "Go and arrest Zhang Liang." Before he finished speaking, he saw a red patch in the distance from upstairs, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" ”
Tamul rushed to the scene and shouted: "Khan, great things are not good! ”
Jieli's heart was beating wildly, "What's the matter?" ”
"Li Jing has led the cavalry into Dingxiang, and he will kill people when he sees them, our army is in chaos, and we can't control it!"
Jieli gasped, regretting it in his heart, he already knew the plan. finally understood that Xiao Buyi's so-called peace negotiation was just delaying time, so he relaxed his guard and hurriedly shouted: "Prepare the horse!" ”
Hurriedly got on the horse, at this time the city was already in the hustle and bustle of a hot pot bursting beans, and the disturbance was very great, and some Turkic soldiers arrived and said: "Khan, Zhang Liang has fled, and the soldiers guarding him have been killed." ”
As expected, Jieli sighed, gathered people with his cronies, and reluctantly gathered thousands of people, and at this time he saw that there were fires everywhere in the city, and people were scurrying around in the firelight, as if there were enemies everywhere. In the dark night, I don't know how many people there are in the Western Liang army. Everywhere there were people shouting, "Li Jing is here, Li Jing is here." The shouts were even more panicked, with the shouts of the Turkic soldiers, and of course the Western Liang soldiers who had infiltrated the city earlier to stir up the troubled waters.
They all know that Li Jing is powerful, and they also know that Li Jing is the first general under Xiao Buyi, he came to Dingxiang, and it goes without saying that the army of Western Liang must have also arrived in Dingxiang. The Turks all thought like this, they had long lost their fighting spirit, Jieli saw that the soldiers were in turmoil, knew that they could not resist, led the troops out of the city, and ordered his subordinates to drink the Khan here, and after a while, more than 10,000 people had gathered.
The Turkic soldiers, like headless flies, knew that the Khan was still there, and followed them bravely. Everyone worked together and rushed out of Dingxiang in one breath without being intercepted by the Western Liang army.
The governor of Jieli was in an urgent situation, did not dare to stay, sat in the Chinese army, and ordered the Turkic soldiers to go all the way north. Before he had taken a few steps, he heard an earth-shattering shout from the city, "The Khan is dead, the Khan is dead!" ”
As soon as the shout came out, the Turkic soldiers in the city collapsed in an instant!
Jieli was angry and angry, but he didn't dare to turn back, and led the team all the way to the north, just wanting to rush back to the Turkic tent. More than 10,000 cavalry roared, panicked north, in the middle of the night, only to feel that not far behind him, there were always chasing soldiers approaching, and couldn't help but be frightened.
It was already winter, although it did not snow, but the night was cold, and the air had long turned into frost and dripping into ice. Everyone got out of the hot bed and got on their horses to flee for their lives, but it can be said that they were very unprepared, and by the time dawn came, they were already hungry.
Jieli looked back and saw that the army of more than 100,000 had only turned back more than 10,000, and he really wanted to cry without tears. You must know that he gathered troops to the south, and there were nearly 300,000 people, even if the number of people killed by Xiao Buyi and Wei Chigong's Western Liang army was only 30,000 or 40,000. But the chaos in Xiangcheng overnight made his last remaining troops lose ten of them, and he hadn't even seen Li Jing's soldiers and horses.
This Li Jing! Jieli secretly hated in his heart, hated and wanted to vomit blood, and his head was a little dizzy.
Jie Liben was taking a bath next door, and when he heard that the situation in the house was wrong, he rushed out to check, and was injured by Zhang Ji's ribs, although it was not serious, but he had no time to bandage it, and now he is faintly in pain. In addition, the water vapor on the body has not dried, and the cold air is pressing, and the head is as heavy as a stone. In his heart, he told himself that he could not fall, and he did not see the sound of hooves, and told everyone to hurry up and find something to eat, and continue to flee for his life after filling his hunger. The people looked around for food, and only after they had shot a few prey, they heard the sound of hooves on the south side like thunder, and the high rush of dust like murderous spirit.
The Turkic soldiers were frightened, hurriedly mounted their horses and continued to flee for their lives, and Tamul hunted a rabbit, which was bloodily split in half and distributed to the khan. Jieli took it, didn't care about the nausea, drank a few mouthfuls of blood, warmed his stomach a little, and continued to flee north.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry persevered, chased and fought fiercely, always following behind the more than 10,000 Turkic soldiers, and the sun that was chasing rose and rose, rising and falling, as if it was like Jieli escaping to the edge of the sky, and the Western Liang army was also chasing to the edge of the sky!
The Turkic soldiers were used to enjoying it, and it was extremely miserable to run for their lives along the way. Many Turkic soldiers couldn't help but be hungry, tired, and endlessly fleeing for their lives, and gradually fell behind, but as soon as they fell, they were swallowed by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in an instant.
More than 10,000 Turkic cavalry are getting fewer and fewer, and by the time they are only a hundred miles away from the Turkic tent, less than half of them are left!
Temur and Praba are still in the ranks. The two of them were exhausted, as if they were back in the same situation as they were back then, and the nightmare was repeated, and they wanted to cry without tears. But the two of them finally have some experience and some preparation, and they can still be safe and sound when many people can't bear the pressure and collapse and go crazy.
It's finally time to get to the tent!
Jieli was already hot all over his body, and his cheeks were red and hot. This kind of life of running for his life is really devastating to the body. But the tooth tent is not far from here, there are still tens of thousands of Turkic troops there, and Ke Dun is still in the tooth tent, and she also has more than 10,000 elite soldiers under her, so she can fight.
Jieli believes that Li Jing's thousand-mile attack will definitely not have too many people, and maybe the Xiliang cavalry behind his ass will be more than a few thousand. But these cavalry were really powerful, and the Turkic soldiers around them were emaciated and powerless to fight back, and if they reached the tooth tent, they could retreat from the opponent.
But before he reached the tent, a dozen horsemen came from the north, and when Jieli saw it, he recognized that the man at the head was none other than his subordinate Chigo, and that he was accompanied by one man, but it was his most beloved son, Osrow.
Seeing these two men, Jieli burst into tears, urging his horse to meet him and ask, "...... you guys" before he could finish speaking, and his heart sank, because he saw that Chigo was covered in blood, and Oslo was also embarrassed, with many injuries on his body.
When Oslo saw his father, he cried aloud: "Khan, the child is useless, and he has failed your trust. ”
"What's going on?" Jieli asked weakly.
Chigo said sadly: "Khan, Xu Shiji of Xiliang, led more than 50,000 cavalry, I heard that he came out of Yanmen, and took advantage of your southward journey to attack the tooth tent by disguised as our people when the night fog was extremely thick. Our army was defenseless, and only realized when they arrived at the tooth tent for only ten miles, and hurriedly sent troops to meet the battle, and Xu Shiji broke the tooth tent, killing countless men and horses, and taking many prisoners, I desperately protected Tucker and rushed out...... But...... But the tooth tent is broken! ”
Jieli immediately shook twice, opened his mouth, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and shouted: "God will kill me!" ”
Oslo hurriedly said, "Khan, you...... I...... It's useless to be a child, if you want to blame me, you can't fall. ”
Jieli sighed, blood spurted out, but he was much more sober, and then he realized that Xiao Buyi's peace with himself was just a pretense, and delaying time was by no means to wait for Li Jing to attack, but the real intention was to cover Xu Shiji's attack. Xiao Buyi was ruthless, not satisfied with defeating him at all, but wanted to exterminate the Turks.
"Where's Kedun?" Jieli asked.
Oslo shook his head, and Chigo said: "Kedun is trying to resist, but the Western Liang army is too sharp, and when the last general rushed out, I heard that Kedun was also caught in the chaos. Now the tent is full of Western Liang soldiers and horses, and the khan will never be able to go back. ”
Jieli was so anxious that he had nothing to do. Tamul said: "Khan, cross the earth god pass, there is still Suni lost in the north of the mountain in the capital, there should be a lot of soldiers and horses there, the bones of the Qi guard the northern frontier, and the relationship with the Khan is good, you can go to the defection, and then reorganize the troops and horses!" ”
Seeing that he couldn't go to the tent, Jieli had to listen to this plan and fled west with thousands of soldiers and horses. At this time, the southern iron cavalry rumbled, dust and smoke were everywhere, and when the Turkic soldiers had disappeared into the sky, the Xiliang iron cavalry had already appeared in its true body.
After several days of pursuit, thousands of soldiers and horses turned out to be in a neat lineup, solemn and solemn, the first person, his face was as heavy as iron, and the horizontal gun on the saddle was Li Jing!
A soldier urged the horse to turn around, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "General Li, look at the hoof prints, the last deserters of the Turks are no longer heading north, but are running westward, I don't know if they will continue to pursue?" ”
Li Jing's face was full of frost, he couldn't hide his calm breath, shook his head and said, "Don't chase it, go to the Turkic tent." The iron rode to the north, and soon approached the tooth tent, and there were soldiers at the tooth tent to greet him, the first general, his eyes were huge, and he was also a servant of the wind and dust, and when he saw Li Jing, he said happily: "General Li, you are here." ”
That person is Xu Shiji!
Seeing that the Turkic tent was full of unfinished fireworks, and there were traces of fire everywhere, Li Jing sighed with emotion: "How prosperous it was back then, after this fire, the vitality of the grassland was greatly damaged, and I am afraid that within ten years, there will be no such prosperity." ”
Xu Shiji said with a smile: "Anyway, we are not going to live here for a long time, and the fire that burns down here is breaking the foundation of Jieli." I brought my troops here, beheaded more than 10,000 Turkic soldiers and horses, captured more than 100,000 men and women, and even more innumerable livestock. After a few days, they will all be driven to the Central Plains to be controlled, and this place will be barren, so that our Central Plains can prosper. ”
Li Jing looked at the ruins and sighed.
Xu Shiji was puzzled and asked, "General Li, what did I do wrong?" Xu Shiji studied under Li Jing, although outsiders know little, but Xu Shiji has been respectful to Li Jing all his life.
Li Jing said slowly: "We have parents and children, and so do they. After this battle, the grassland people ......" He didn't say any more, diverted the topic, and asked: "Jieli has led his troops to flee westward for his life, I estimate that most of them defected to Qigu, you ......"
"I have expected that Jieli will not be able to go north through the tent now, and he will not be able to contact the Tiele Nine Clans, the only way out is to go to the Dishen Pass, and go to the Qigu or Benxi Turks, I ordered General Su to wait at the Dishen Pass, General Li, but please rest assured." Xu Shiji said.
Li Jing nodded and said approvingly: "Shiji, you have done an excellent job, I am very happy." ”
Xu Shiji was praised by Li Jing, and he was greatly excited, and his heart was overjoyed. But when I looked to the northeast, my eyes were still a little gloomy. Li Jing asked, "What are you thinking?" ”
Xu Shiji came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's nothing." ”
Li Jing said: "I heard that Pei Mingcui is still trapped in the belly of the mountain near Chita, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. It's a bit of a distance from Chita, but you can take advantage of the gap to go there. ”
Xu Shiji shook his head slowly, "The world is undecided, and I still have too many things." Again...... The king of Xiliang has sent people to open the mountain with all his might, and it is useless for me to go. Diverting the topic, he said: "General Li, although he has not yet captured the Khan, he has also captured an important person in the steppe. ”
Li Jing's eyes flashed, "Who is it?" ”
Xu Shiji said slowly: "It's Kedun!" She and Liu Wuzhou led people to desperately resist our army, causing us a lot of trouble. But they still can't do their best, I broke their camp, killed the Tamo branch, Liu Wuzhou had no place in the rebellion, I ordered someone to capture Kedun and Yang Zhengdao, I don't know...... How is General Lee going to send these two down? ”
Li Jing looked up at the sky, his face was as gloomy as the sky, and it took a long time to spit out two words, "Chop!" ”
、、、 Khan, the plan is always better than the change, the grassland problem is basically solved, the next step is to face off with Li Tang, and the country is basically over in a few days
