Li Ji and Du He personally sent Tumidu away. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The two returned to the camp, and Li Ji asked Du He with a smile: "What do you think of this spitting degree?" ”

Du He said lightly: "It's an ungrateful wolf in the mountains...... looks like a dog, but has a wolf temperament...... When confessing the Lord, he is as obedient as a dog, and when he rebels, he is as fierce as a wolf......"

Li Ji's eyes lit up, and he said: "What a Zhongshan wolf, there is no doubt that this person's nature will be exposed......"

Du He laughed: "This is a good abacus, but it's a pity that it was used in the wrong place, with the wrong person, and it exposed his ambitions." ”

Li Ji showed a knowing smile, and there was a hint of fierceness in his friendly eyes.

Li Shimin, as the emperor, as the Khan of the sky, is one of the few emperors in history who can accept all rivers, as long as he sincerely serves the Tang Dynasty, he will not care what your background is. Even if he was once his enemy, he wouldn't care.

It is certain that as long as Tumidu helps the Tang Dynasty to exterminate Xue Yantuo without asking for anything in return, Li Shimin's character will definitely not treat Hui Hui, a tribe that is close to the Tang Dynasty. However, the degree of confusion is not only that, he came thousands of miles to find Li Ji, what is it for?

It is to show loyalty to Li Ji, hoping to use Li Ji's mouth to convey his loyalty to Li Shimin.

In this way, his ill-intentioned intentions were exposed.

If he really had the intention to help the Tang Dynasty, he only needed to cooperate with the Tang army's actions and attack Xue Yantuo, and there was no need to come to Li Ji in person to express his loyalty.

Obviously, Tumidu is not willing to get only a little reward, he has greater ambitions, he wants to become the second Yi Nan, and Hui wants to become the overlord of the grassland after Xue Yantuo, but to become the overlord of the grassland, the support of the Tang Dynasty is indispensable.

This is underestimating the IQ of Li Ji, a famous general.

Li Ji listened to Du He's words, nodded approvingly, and said, "This person is full of ambition, so you can't help but ...... But......" he smiled weirdly, and said, "It's absolutely easy to use it as a gun." After today's incident, this spit out of the fan will have to perform well even if he fights for the old bottom......"

Du He was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed happily. came to the conclusion that ginger is still old and spicy.

In previous conversations with Tumidu, Li Ji repeatedly hinted that if Hui Hui behaved well, he would report Li Shimin's merits and speak more good words for him.

At first, Du He was secretly anxious, thinking that Li Ji was influenced by the narrow thinking of ancient times, and he was really moved by Tumidu's loyal behavior, it turned out that he was pouring ** soup into Tumidu, and deliberately asked him to work hard for Datang.

As Li Ji and Du He imagined, they returned to Hui Hui's Tumi, and immediately gathered all the strong men in the clan to form a huge army. He was like taking a stimulant, constantly launching a fierce attack on Xue Yantuo, and really saved the Tang Dynasty a lot of effort.

After resting in place for a whole month, most of the wounded soldiers had recovered, and the whole army was full of high morale because of a great victory.

On the day of March 26, Li Ji and Du He once again led the army on the march.

They did not encounter any decent resistance on the way to Xue Yantuo's Khan's court, and it was obvious that the rout of Dadu had caused Xue Yantuo's forces to dry up.

However, there were a lot of good news along the way, and just when their army was gradually approaching Xue Yantuo's Khan's court, Zhang Shigui, Li Daliang, Li Xiyu, and Zhang Jian's good news also came frequently. They had basically routed the incoming forces that were blocking them, and were approaching the court of the Khan of Xue Yantuo as fast as they could.

On April 6, the main force led by Li Ji and Du He was the first to arrive at the south gate of Xue Yantuo Khan's court.

On April 8, the Lingzhou soldiers and horses led by Li Daliang arrived at the west gate of Xue Yantuo.

On April 11, Zhang Shigui led the Gyeongju soldiers and horses to the West Gate.

On the next 15th and 16th, Li Xiyu, the governor of Liangzhou, and Zhang Jian, the governor of Yingzhou, led the Liangzhou army and the Yingzhou army to the east gate of Xue Yantuo Khan's court respectively.

After the arrival of the four generals, Li Ji invited the four generals and held a military meeting to discuss how to attack the court of Xue Yantuo Khan.

Li Ji analyzed the situation of the enemy and us, and said to the generals: "Xue Yantuo once gathered 300,000 troops to shock the grassland. However, after the hard work of all of you here, most of them have been lost, and now there are less than 80,000 available soldiers. However, Yi Nan is a forbearant and patient person, so he must not go out of the city to fight us. The court of Xue Yantuo Khan is quite strong, and they are good at bows and arrows, and they are strictly guarded, which will cause us some trouble. Now that we don't have siege equipment, how should we take the city? ”

Li Daliang said: "I don't know how the water and materials in the city are, there are clouds since ancient times, and the siege is the bottom, if it is not necessary, it is better not to siege it." If there is not enough food or water, we can besiege them and trap them. ”

Du He shook his head and said, "No." According to reliable sources, before we gathered, Yi Nan had decided to fight a cage city battle, play with us, and dare to enter the city with hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep nearby, they had enough meat and food to make a living. In addition, I have been to Khanting and am very familiar with the nearby generation. This generation is the richest place on the grassland, called Jiangnan on the grassland, with abundant water resources. The locals dig wells to get water. There is no danger of water cut-off. ”

Zhang Shigui couldn't think of a way, so he was silent for a while and said: "Then let's build siege equipment, forcibly attack, the casualties are too heavy." ”

Li Ji glanced at Du He, he knew that Du He was in a hurry to return to Chang'an. It takes more than half a month to build siege equipment, and Changle will be produced around May and June, and it is now four and a half months. It will definitely be too late to build siege equipment.

Du He was silent, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "If there is no good plan, just do it......" It's not that he doesn't want to rush back, but he can't sacrifice the lives of soldiers for himself.

Although he said so, he did not give up in his heart, he wanted to go home and watch his child be born, and his brain kept thinking of a way.

Just when the meeting was about to end, Du He suddenly had a story in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his mind, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought against Guandu, Cao Cao was defeated by Yuan Shao, and hid in Guandu to avoid without fighting. So he made a plan, turned the soil into a mountain, and let the soldiers of the Yuan army stand on the mound and shoot arrows. Cao Jun was so frightened that he didn't dare to take his head, and in the end, it was Liu Ye's thunderbolt that broke the trick of trial.

The Tang army's strong crossbow is far superior to Xue Yantuo's bow and arrow, as long as he occupies the same high point, why fear Xue Yantuo?

Xue Yantuo didn't have a thunderbolt, so how could he break this trick?

Du He's eyes purred, and he said loudly: "I have a way, I can quickly break through the Xue Yantuo Khan's court." ”

Hearing Du He's plan, the generals applauded and said that they would prepare as soon as possible.

Li Ji shook his hand and said with a weird smile: "Don't worry, wait for the gun to come, let him play, and we won't be late to break the city again......"

Three days later, the chief of the Hui tribe, Tu Midu, led a mighty 50,000 Hui soldiers to block the north gate of Xue Yantuo Khan's court.
