However, if you don't cooperate, you will die! This is not afraid, as a high-ranking official of Zhengsanpin, it is shameful enough to be captured, and if he falls into the hands of a capricious person like Mo Si, he will definitely die in nine deaths.

Horizontal and vertical is dead, and can no longer bring any adverse effects to the empire.

Disappointed, Mo Si saw that he couldn't get a bargain here in Lingzhou, so at the end of February, he led his troops to Dashengzhou (near Ordos, Inner Mongolia).

However, the Shengzhou defender Ademai is an exception.

When Mo Siqin led the army to Shengzhou City, he thought that Shengzhou would be the same as Lingzhou, honestly hiding in the city, if that was the case, it would be a real headache, the Turkic cavalry was absolutely invincible in the flat and open area, however, the horse would not climb the wall, and in the face of the tall city of the Tang Dynasty, it was also helpless.

When Mo Si was scratching his ears and cheeks, An Daomai, the general of Shengzhou and the deputy envoy of the Pingdi Army, actually led his troops out of the city to take the initiative to attack the Turkic army, and the careless Turks were caught off guard and turned around and ran.

After the Battle of Shengzhou, Mo Si was bored at home, but he was not bored for long.

On March 12, when the news of the annihilation of the army of Wang Xiaojie of the Tang Dynasty in the East Kip Stone Valley came, Mo Si knew that it was time for him to appear again.

Now that he saw that Datang was being tortured by the Khitan to the point of being extremely wolf, he thought of taking advantage of the fire to rob again. Asked Wu Zetian to return the territory under the jurisdiction of the Shan Yu Duhufu of the thousands of Turkic households who had taken refuge in the Tang Dynasty more than 20 years ago and the Guannei Province, and in addition, he also asked Wu Zetian to provide the Turks with some grain, silk, farm tools, iron and other items, and his words were very sincere and polite.

It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and it was too deceitful!

Unexpectedly, the naked land came to ask for money and land! Before, no matter how Wu Zetian tossed, how to eliminate dissidents, and how to kill the Li clan and heroes, it was at least an internal affair of the Tang Dynasty; Now let Wu Zetian betray his ancestors by losing power and humiliating the country, he will definitely not agree, so Wu Zetian sternly rejected Mo Si's unreasonable request.

Rejected, let alone rejected by a woman. Embarrassed, faceless, silently furious, and after that, his words began to be extremely arrogant and rude. Even threatened to use force to speak.

If you offend Mo Si, Datang's peripheral shape will be considered a real worse situation.

National affairs should be discussed and handled. Wu Zetian summoned all the ministers of the three provinces and six ministries to discuss what to do about this matter, and promised to sip silently. It is to lose power and humiliate the country; If you refuse to sip silently, you may suffer the scourge of war again.

That's a tricky question.

The emperor has no idea, and his subordinates have no idea.

A part of the ministers led by Yao Xuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, agreed to sip silently, and their reason was that now the Khitan was not peaceful, and the domestic energy was insufficient, so they should not renew the incident, so as not to start a war at both ends, and the shape would be more dangerous;

Some of the ministers, led by Zhongshu Shilang and Prime Minister Li Qiao, strongly demanded that they refuse to sip on the grounds that the Turks had always been greedy and untrustworthy, and if they agreed to their unreasonable demands. That would be tantamount to lending troops to the enemy and food to robbers (borrowing soldiers, stealing grain), or should we strictly garrison and send troops to defend against the Turks.

Combined with the current peripheral shape of the Tang Dynasty, the construction of the "Promise School" is pragmatic and reputationally unfavorable to the country, but in fact it can only be like this; The "rejection faction" is pragmatic and notoriously beneficial to the state, but in reality it does not benefit the country at all. Just imagine, at this time, Datang can't even solve a small Khitan. If the Turks are provoked again, then even if the Tang Dynasty can't lose the country, it may have to move south.

The lesser of two evils!

I still agreed.

However, Wu Zetian is not so easy to agree to you.

Promise you. There must be one condition - send troops to the Khitan!

Mo Si still has two brushes, the first time he sent troops to the Khitan, he took the Khitan's lair, and by the way, he took away the wives and children of Li Quanzhong and Sun Wanrong. made Li Qianzhong and Sun Wanrong suffer a lot of fright!

Okay, Wu Zetian doesn't have a headache, he has the help of Mo Si. The end of the Khitan has arrived.

Therefore, on the 18th of the following month (April), Wu Zetian took the right Jin Wuwei general and Wu Yizong, the king of Hanoi County, as the general of the Shenbing Road, and led the troops to attack the Khitan with the right leopard Taowei general He Jiami;

It was not enough, Wu Zetian on the eighth day of the fifth month, with Prime Minister Lou Shide as the deputy general of Qingbian Province and the general of the right military Weiwei Shazha Zhongyi as the head of the front army, led 200,000 troops to attack the Khitan.

As for the commanders of these two route armies, I will go into detail when they appear on the battlefield later, and now I will show my face first.

So what is Sun Wanrong of the Khitan doing now? Does he know that the shape shì is already inclined to the Tang Dynasty? It is not terrible to lose the Turkic ally, but it is terrible that this former ally is on the side of the Tang Dynasty.

After the First Battle of Dong Kip Stone Valley, Sun Wanrong built a new city about 400 miles northwest of Zhiliucheng, the capital of Yingzhou, and stored all the old and weak women, soldiers' families, looted materials, weapons, and baggage equipment in this new city, and then let his brother-in-law Yi Yiyu garrison here. Sun Wanrong himself led his troops south to Hebei Province.

Sun Wanrong plundered and slaughtered in Hebei Province, when the scenery was infinite, I heard that Wu Zetian once again sent two armies to meet the battle, when he first heard that the commander of the first army was Wu Yizong, Sun Wanrong had no cowardice, Wu Yizong, Wu Zetian's nephew, another Wu family waste, was very good at framing individuals internally, and led troops to fight? hehe

When he led his troops to Zhaozhou, when he heard that Sun Wanrong sent Luo Wuquan (fierce man) to attack Jizhou with thousands of cavalry, he turned around and ran despite the persuasion of everyone.

It's a wreck, and it lives up to its name!

Sun Wanrong of the Wuyi Sect of the First Route Army of the Tang Dynasty can not care, but the Second Route Army Lou Shi De, Sun Wanrong will never dare to be careless.

There's a reason why Sun Wanrong has a very different attitude:

Lou Shide, the first general of the Wu Zhou Dynasty! (To be continued...... ）

In and out of the phase - Lou Shide!

When a generation of famous ministers, Liang Guogong, and detective Di Renjie were in the position of prime minister, they were very unaccustomed to Lou Shide, and they always squeezed him when they had nothing to do, and always supported him to go on business trips to other places. Thanks to Lou Shide, he has a good temper and doesn't care about him. However, when Wu Zetian couldn't stand it anymore, he found an opportunity to summon Di Renjie alone.

Wu Zetian asked: "Is Master Lou virtuous?" Is it possible to be talented? Is there morality? ”

Di Renjie: "Lou Shide, as a general, can guard the border, but he is said to have moral talent and call him virtuous, but the minister really doesn't know it, and he hasn't heard of it." ”

Wu Zetian didn't say much. Continue to ask: "So does Lou Shide have the ability to know people?" Are you able to identify and recommend talents to your country? ”

Di Renjie: "We are officials in the same dynasty, we know him better, but I don't know that he has the ability to know people!" ”

Wu Zetian smiled and said nothing, ignoring Di Renjie. took out a piece of music and gave it to Di Renjie.

Di Renjie was puzzled, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd, he raised his eyes to look at Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian just smiled and ignored him.

Di Renjie opened the recital. Seeing the content of the twists and turns, I recommended myself, saying how talented I was, how virtuous, and worthy of great responsibilities, and finally hoped that Wu Zetian would definitely appoint myself and so on.

Di Renjie was surprised that someone knew and valued himself so much.

What surprised him even more was that he saw that at the end of the concerto, the signature turned out to be - Lou Shide!

Di Renjie recalled his various behaviors towards Lou Shide, and couldn't help but feel ashamed and ashamed, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Wu Zetian and quickly walked out of Tongtian Palace.

Di Renjie, who was ashamed, looked up to the sky and sighed: (Lou Gong is so tolerant of me, I am far inferior to him!) ）

"Lou Shide responded to the call and was generous and brave;

Recommend Renjie and use. Tadaya;

Don't let Renjie know it, and the public will also;

Yingtian Guard, Zhiya;

Gong diligent to take it, and also;

Participating in political affairs, fame and fame, it is difficult for people, how can they be ashamed of the general!

This is a typical talent who "is a general and a phase", this is a talent who "has civil and military materials" in the mouth of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, and this is a talent that Sun Wanrong does not dare to despise!

In the face of such an absolutely real fierce man, Sun Wanrong did not dare to be careless.

Okay, having said that, let's now take a look at the shape that Khitan Sun Wanrong is currently facing:

Wu Youyi's "soldiers under heaven" of about 100,000 are on the front line of Jizhou and Danzhou;

Wu Yizong's Shenbing Dao army of about 100,000 was in the Youzhou area;

Lou Shide's Qingbian Dao army of about 100,000 was also stationed in the Youzhou area;

Sun Wanrong knew that Wu Zetian was desperately coming with him this time, and Wu Zhou's three heavy army groups were cooperating with each other. Although Wu Youyi and Wu Yizong were very easy to deal with and could easily defeat, Sun Wanrong could not annihilate these two heavy troops, because these two people ran away when they saw him - they won't play with you!

If you run away, the key is that when Sun Wanrong retires, these two guys will follow you again.

It's really sticky, and I can't shake it off.

Maybe that's the stupid man's approach.

These are two annoying guys, and there is also a guy with a headache, which is Lou Shide.

Sun Wanrong's Khitan army has formed a state of stalemate with Wu Zetian's Tang army in this way, you can't kill me, I can't kill you, I don't dare to act rashly, it seems that this will be a protracted war.

This is the last thing Sun Wanrong wants to see, because the Khitan people have little food and want to fight a protracted war with the big family of Datang? That's tantamount to looking for death!

The shape has never been so severe, Sun Wanrong still has to break the enemy's good strategy, he is thinking hard, Lou Shide? It's hard to say if you can beat it; Wu Youyi, Wu Yizong? Although incompetent, you can't keep it all when you are entangled with Lou Shide, come to your flank for a while! For the first time since the start of the army, Sun Wanrong's head has become bigger.

Big head? It's still light!

When Sun Wanrong heard that the Turks and Datang had come together again, he was going crazy!

The Turkic Khan is a guy who doesn't follow the rules, and his destructive power is amazing.

The change of Songmo's captive wife and son still made Sun Wanrong feel palpitations, the Turks are behind the Khitan, if they take advantage of the weakness, then they will be hit by black bricks again in their backs!

If the Turks attack, then the Khitan is really over!

"Never be afraid of the greedy man, the greedy man is best dealt with, as long as he is satisfied" - Eternal Smile

Sun Wanrong thought about how to resolve the Turkic crisis, because he discovered the weakness of Mo Si - trustlessness and greed.

Send an envoy to the Turks, and promise Mo Si that as long as they join forces to break through Youzhou, every qiē in the city will be given to you Turks! Mo Si is a greedy and untrustworthy person, this trick will definitely be able to impress him, I believe!

Sun Wanrong quickly sent an envoy to the Turks, wanting to win him over to the Khitan side before Mo Si launched an attack.

In order to show his sincerity, and more importantly, to succeed in the negotiations, Sun Wanrong sent a five-man delegation to the Turks.

Mo Si is a guy who will never be satisfied, and in his eyes there is only profit. As the saying goes, "If you eat someone's mouth, you will take someone's soft hand", but this doesn't work for sipping.

Although he took thousands of Datang households, although he took Wu Zetian's 40,000 grains, 50,000 pieces of silk, 3,000 farm tools, tens of thousands of catties of iron, etc., he still won't be short-mouthed or soft-handed.

Because he is indeed an insatiable man!

It seems that Sun Wanrong will definitely be able to succeed in convincing Mo Si!

It seems that Wu Zetian's grievances and concessions are in vain!

Woohoo, the sky does not allow Datang?

Sun Wanrong thought that he knew Mo Si's temperament very well, and knew that he was greedy and untrustworthy. It's a pity that he doesn't know the real reason behind the silent "greed and untrustworthiness" - capriciousness! (To be continued.) )
