Li Jing was worried, the terrain has no advantage!

Now there are Turkic people outside the Yumen Pass, and it is not easy to reconnoitre. What's even more strange is that the Turks are no different from death, they neither attack nor retreat, and people don't feel sad about eating horses and chewing so much grain and grass in a day.

Of course, no one is stupid! Jieli Khan waited for a reply, and waited for the Tibetan army to go around. If he broke through the Jade Gate, Jieli Khan would not be without confidence, but he didn't want to cause such a big casualty at all. Tuli is still staring at his own territory and population, in case of a tragic victory, Tuli will really dare to raise troops to destroy himself.

Although Jieli Khan was looking forward to the good news, Zhao Deyan did not think that Tubo would agree. At the very least, they will not send troops before the Yumen Pass is not fought, and Tubo is not stupid, whichever side starts a war first is equivalent to falling into a quagmire that cannot be extricated first, and it will only cheapen the other party.

"What should Mr. Zhao say directly, why does he always want to say and stop?" Jieli Khan asked.

"My subordinates are foolish, my army can't wait any longer, in recent days, Yumen Pass has been improving its defenses, and all kinds of materials are also constantly being transported from Shazhou, I'm afraid that it will change later. If Tubo is not after we start a war with the Tang Dynasty, I think we will not rush into the army. ”

"Mr. Zhao's words are not unreasonable, but you have also seen the soldiers guarding the city at Yumen Pass, although they have not fought each other, just look at their military appearance and know that it is not easy to deal with. I'm afraid that the casualties will be too great, so that those who have a heart will have an opportunity. Jieli Khan said helplessly.

I thought that it was easy to deal with Li Chengzong, the king of Dingjin, but I didn't think that I really went to Yumen Pass to investigate carefully, only to find that it was not the same thing at all.

Shan Xiongxin and Li Jing don't talk about it, shouldn't Qin Qiong, Cheng Biting Jin, and Xu Shiji be from King Qin's Tiance Mansion? How also appeared in Shazhou. If it weren't for his extremely low evaluation of Li Chengzong when he was Turkic, and attributed the fiasco under Dingzhou City to Luo Yi and Li Shentong, Jieli Khan would not have looked down on Li Chengzong's Shence Army so much.

After thinking about it, Zhao Deyan said: "If the Yumen Pass is impregnable, it is not easy to attack. We might as well swing a shot and rush to Yangguan. ”

Yangguan and Yumen Pass, in general, are the only places for the Tang Dynasty to reach the Western Regions. Located in the northwest and southwest of Shazhou respectively, Yangguan is where the southern passage is located.

What kind of person Li Jing is, it is true that Yumen Pass is guarded by heavy troops, and Li Jing in Yangguan has also explained to Li Chengzong. In order to prevent the tactics of attacking the west, Li Jing suggested that the city gate should be completely blocked first, just in case.

As early as a few days ago, Li Chengzong had ordered Su Dingfang, Cheng Yanjin and Wei Ling to guard Yangguan, and blocked the city gate with a large number of sandbags from the inside.

Jieli Khan also felt in his heart that this move was feasible, and it was better than drying up before the Jade Gate was closed. It was just a flash of the spirit, and another idea, Jieli Khan, felt more feasible.

Jieli Khan recruited all the generals and deployed overnight, preparing to level the Shazhou portal in one fell swoop.

Here in Yangguan, the Shence army is only more than 20,000 people, plus some of the original defenders, the strength is far less than that of Yumen Pass. It's just that Su Dingfang, Cheng Yanjin and Wei Ling are not third-rate figures, and they are under constant pressure to hold here, plus the Turks have been outside the Chen Bingyumen Pass, and the three of them are very idle.

Su Dingfang stood on the city tower every day like a wangfu stone, just waiting for the Turks to divide their troops to attack Yangguan, otherwise where would he go to find the head of the enemy chieftain?

As an important figure in the original East Palace, Wei Ling naturally had two brushes, and he said: "General Su doesn't need to look, if you really see the enemy soldiers, then we really have to prepare for a bloody battle."

Cheng Biting Jin said: "I just said that young people can't hold their breath. Since ancient times, this method of attacking camps and pulling out villages is nothing more than concentrating troops to make a breakthrough. The Turks seem to have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, but those are cavalry, good at riding and shooting, but not good at taking cities. If they are allowed to divide their troops to attack, the advantage of soldiers and horses will be gone, not to mention that there is no bullshit effect. ”

"I know, I'm not thinking about what if Jieli Khan is stupid?"

Wei Ling and Cheng Yanjin shook their heads, and couldn't help but think: "He can't be stupid if you're stupid."

The world is unpredictable, and when the two of them were laughing at Su Dingfang's meritorious service, the Turks really came.

The yellow sand is all over the sky, not that the scouts are incompetent, but that they really can't see the number of enemy troops.

Cheng Yanjin scolded: "Is Jieli Khan really stupid? Bastard, you have to force me to play with my life. ”

Wei Ling said: "Prepare for war, hurry up and prepare."

The Turks don't shout, they just do it.

"Help, help." Cheng Yanjin said that he was going to let people tell Shazhou and Yumen Pass respectively.

Su Dingfang also agreed, it was too fierce, and what was even worse was that Jieli Khan's royal flag was still there, and it should be the Turks who had changed their main attack.

The day and night of delivering the letter rushed, and I didn't dare to take any breath.

"King Jin, order Li Jing to divide his troops to support." Pei Ju said busily.

Support? Of course, it is not difficult.

Of course, Li Chengzong was in a hurry, but he vaguely felt that things would not be so simple, and he always felt weird.

"Jieli Khan stayed for so long, purely to attract troops?" Li Chengzong asked.

Ma Zhou said: "General Li Jing also said that this is possible."

"However, the enemy soldiers and horses have not even been explored clearly in Yangguan, how can we judge that the main Turkic force has left Yumen Pass?"

"This..." Ma Zhou couldn't think of words.

No one spoke, and those who could fight were not by Li Chengzong's side, and a group of Zi Wenchen couldn't blame them.

After thinking about it and thinking about it, Li Chengzong's hair wanted to turn white by half a root, and finally decided.

"Send reinforcements, but you can't send troops from Yumen Pass."

Ma Zhou said: "No, King Jin." There are only more than 10,000 horses in Shazhou City, and no more troops must be divided. ”

Smiling, Li Chengzong said: "Who set the rules, the reinforcements must go to help fight the war?"

Li Jing's side couldn't make up his mind for a while, but it was Li Chengzong who sent an order for them to stay still, and more importantly, to find out how many Turkic soldiers and horses had secretly walked outside the Yumen Pass.

"I don't know what King Jin means?" Qin Qiong said.

"Maybe I'm afraid that the Turks will use tricks to feint to attack Yangguan." Li Jing said.

"I'm afraid it won't, according to Su Dingfang, the Turkic offensive is very fierce, there are many people, and there is even the royal banner of Jieli Khan." Shan Xiong said.

Li Jing said in a deep voice: "If I fight, I will see what the Turks are doing."

"I'll give him a try." Shan Xiong said.

Not to mention, Shan Xiongxin took 10,000 cavalry to call the battle, but the Turks couldn't defend it, and they looked very scared.

In Shazhou, a large group of people carried battle flags, gongs and drums set off.

"Unlucky, we're not going to die on the battlefield, are we?"

"Can you say something good? Didn't King Jin say that we don't need to go to the battlefield. ”

"That's not sure, alas!"

The head of this group of people is none other than Fang Xuanling, who is more aggrieved than anyone else.

"Damn, I can't say a word?"

When the reinforcements arrived at Yangguan, Cheng Yanjin didn't control it in front of Su Dingfang and Wei Ling, and scolded and scolded.

On the second day, I saw that there seemed to be a lot of people on the sun.

It's a lot, but it's just that the clothes of the dead and wounded soldiers were stripped off and replaced with a group of civilians.

The banner of King Jin was also displayed, and Xue Rengui stood there wearing Li Chengzong's clothes, looking very domineering.

Cheng Biting Jin roared: "The King of the Tang Dynasty and Jin has invited Jieli Khan to see him."

And then...
