Chapter 17 Catching a Turtle in an Urn
The Turkic Khan Jieli was sitting in his tent, and when he heard that more troops were coming, he jumped up from his seat in the battle. Watermark Ad Test: Watermark Ad Test
He knew that he couldn't organize his troops to meet the battle, so it was better to go, so he shouted to his own soldiers: "Quick! Pull my Maxima, run for your life! ”
The soldiers pulled over the horses, turned over, and looked back at the south of the village, but saw countless Tang horsemen galloping and galloping. Jieli's scalp was numb, his legs were clamped between the horse's belly, and he led his own soldiers to the desert.
A group of Tang cavalry of the search battalion, in accordance with Li Jing's order, rushed directly into Jieli's rear tent. I didn't drag the good things, but I found a beautiful woman and a child.
It was not ordinary people who lived in the back tent of the Khan, and without saying a word, the soldiers immediately pounced on them, and brought them on horseback to meet the commander.
In an hour or so, the battle was basically over, and all the barracks tents were flattened. The prisoners were inspected, no less than tens of thousands, one by one, all of them were tied up with ropes, and they obeyed Tang Bing's arrangement in frustration.
Li Jing re-chose a place to camp, sat first in the tent, and the soldiers pushed the dressed woman and the young man, as soon as they met, Li Jing guessed that it was not far from ten, and asked the woman: "Are you Princess Yicheng?" ”
The woman was silent at first, just looking at Li Jing. Maybe it was because Li Jing was not a person who could fool the past casually, so although she didn't want to say it in her heart, she nodded in the end, and besides, it's just a big deal, what's so scary? It's out.
"This is your son and Jacky?" Li Jing's tone was a little cold, and he pointed to the young man who was trembling on the side and asked.
The woman nodded, and someone next to her had already confessed to herself: "This is the Jie Li Zi Luo Zhi." ”
Li Jing nodded. Drink and order his subordinates to beat Luo Zhi into the threshold car. Immediately escorted back to Beijing.
"You've been married four times. Aren't you ashamed? Li Jing turned back and pointed at Princess Yicheng and reprimanded.
Princess Wenchen didn't feel embarrassed when she heard Li Jing's words, she stroked the messy hair in her ears, and said eloquently: "In the nineteenth year of the emperor's reign, I was ordered to marry the Turkic Qimin Khan, which greatly increased the status of the Sui Dynasty in the minds of the Turks. Qimin once wrote to Emperor Yang of Sui, hoping to change the national costume to the Han nationality, and gave a toast to Emperor Yang of Sui in Beixing, and Emperor Yang of Sui wrote poems. He thinks that the emperor of the Han Dynasty is more majestic than the emperor of the Han Dynasty. When Qimin died, I remarried his three sons according to Turkic folk customs: Shibi Khan, Chuluo Khan, and Jieli Khan. I have always been the Khan's Khatun, but I can't help myself, and there is no shame in it. ”
Seeing that Princess Yicheng's face was not red and her heart was not beating, Li Jing was furious, pointed at Princess Yicheng and shouted: "You have instigated the Turkic soldiers to invade the border many times, yes, the people are scattered and killed, what crime should you be guilty of?!" ”
Princess Yicheng smiled slightly. Said: "If you want to kill, you will kill, why be angry? I am a child of the Sui Dynasty. Asking Jieli to send troops to attack Tang and avenge Sui is loyal to his homeland, and it is right, what is the crime? ”
Li Jing's beard was about to float up, he was guarding Shuozhou, and he knew how much damage the Turkic harassment had caused to the people on the border of the Tang Dynasty.
Anyway, I mean you are a woman, anyway, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks have no place for you, so I will fulfill you. - Thinking of this, Li Jing pointed to Princess Yicheng and ordered the knife and axe hand: "Drag it out and behead it immediately!" ”
Princess Yicheng's face did not change, she looked graceful and generous, and she didn't wait for the knife and axe hand to approach, she had already walked out first, and she didn't look afraid at all.
In the effort of cleaning up the battlefield, the follow-up troops of the Tang Army had already caught up, and Li Jing immediately decided to keep going, and led the elite cavalry to pursue Jieli along the Yinshan Mountain Road
Jieli retreated in the direction of Jikou with more than 10,000 remnants, close to Jikou, and did not want Li Ji to repeat his old tricks, so he had already set up an ambush on the road from Jieli to Mobei.
At this time, it was already noon, the clouds were low, and the Tang soldiers suddenly ambushed their troops in all directions, intercepting the retreat of Tu Erjue.
There was a strong enemy in front and a chasing soldier in the back, so he had no choice but to turn around and flee westward.
Jikou was also one of the main strongholds of the Jili, storing many treasures looted by the Turks, such as cattle and sheepskins, grain and grass. After Jie Lixi fled, his achievements were self-defeating.
The Tang army, which had worked hard for many days, drove straight in, the streets and alleys were shouting and neighing, and the palace of Jieli was even more churned, who came first was whom, unorganized and undisciplined, and many important treasures and documents were missing.
Coach Li Jing looked at it all in his eyes, but he didn't stop it, just turned a blind eye to it, closed one eye, and didn't order the troops to be in order to rest in place until the next morning.
It is a little unbelievable to break through the powerful Western Turks so quickly, I have to say that Xu Yang's prediction of the Guigu really helped, plus a Li Jing who is good at surprise soldiers, as well as the attacks launched by the Tang army in various departments on other battlefields, with the commander Li Jing.
In addition to Li Ji's passage to the desert road, the governor of Lingzhou, Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, went out of Datongdao, the general of Zuo Wuwei Chai Shao went out of Jinhe Road, Wang Xiaojie, the governor of Huizhou, went out of Heng'an Road, and Xue Wanshu, the governor of the camp, went out of Changwudao, more than 100,000 horses, several roads went hand in hand, and the failure of the rivers and rivers became inevitable.
Among them, Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, had the most brilliant results, fighting Lingzhou, capturing thousands of people and animals, and the leaders of the departments such as Yu Sheshe, Meng Netler and other leaders were intimidated by the power and led the troops to surrender.
The good news of Mobei reached Chang'an, and Li Er said excitedly to the ministers at the court meeting: "To the beginning of the country, the emperor is the people, and he is subordinate to the Turks. ”
Besides, Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, was excited to win a big victory with himself, and as a result, he received a report from Li Jing and knew that Jieli was fleeing westward.
Li Daozong did not dare to slack off, and set up obstacles on the road to the west to block and block the profits. Jieli was forced to have no choice but to hide during the day and hurry at night.
The snow covered the mountain, the food was not easy to find, Jieli had been frozen for the past two days, the originally expensive felt hat on his head was now full of dust, and his sweat robe was also tattered, like a beggar.
"Moda, is there anything to eat, Ben Khan is hungry." Jie Li asked weakly towards one of the priests beside him.
The priest was also in tatters, and he replied in a trembling voice: "Khan, you see that it is freezing in the cold weather, where is there food?" ”
Jieli's face showed a sad expression, and he muttered: "Ben Khan also wants to drink, I really want to warm up!" ”
The priest named Moda leaned closer to the Khan of Jie Li and asked miserably, "Khan, do you think we still have any hope of going out?" ”
Jie Li paused suddenly, slowly raised his head, looked at the snow, and was speechless.
"Khan! Khan! Four guards jumped out of the woods next to them, and Jieli thought it was Tang Jun calling, and said in a panic: "Is Tang Jun coming?" Come on! ”
The four pro-soldiers looked embarrassed, and one of them hurriedly said: "Khan, it's not the Tang army that called, it's us who brought back the prey, you see—" With that, he stretched out his hand, and two hares with ears on them appeared in front of Jieli.
As if he had seen some treasure, the corners of his mouth seemed to have saliva left, and he hurriedly said: "Hurry up, hurry up and make a fire to cook, Ben Khan wants to eat this hare." ”
I have to say that these sharp soldiers are still very obedient, and they peeled the rabbit and cramped it in three or two clicks, and the two of them went to the woods to pick up a large number of dry firewood, and then lit the pyre, and roasted the fire around the fire.
"Khan, what's next for us?" The Moda priest on the side asked tentatively, now that the road to Tuyuhun has also been blocked by the Tang army, Jieli's situation is still very worrying.
But Jie Li did not seem to hear the priest's question, and all his eyes were focused on the roasted oily and meaty hare, as if the whole person was like a wolf ready to attack.
Moda sighed, not knowing what to say
"General, you see there is smoke on the mountain over there." A sharp-eyed patrol guard said, pointing to a snow-capped mountain.
"Oh?" Zhang Baoxiang, the deputy commander of the patrol, squinted his eyes and looked in the direction pointed by the soldiers, and then he seemed to have found something, and waved his big hand: "Quickly outflank the soldiers in two ways, that person is Jieli Khan!" (To be continued......)
