Chapter 464: Closing the Door and Hitting the Dog

When the 10,000 Turkic troops from Shanshan in Yunnei crossed the river, Li Jing attacked halfway, and this time Li Jing brought prisoners who surrendered after the battle of Shaliangpo, and his strength increased to 20,000. 20,000 attacked 10,000, and they attacked halfway, beating the Turkic soldiers in a daze, and they couldn't figure out what was going on. Especially when they saw that the Poshi agent personally commanded the attack on the battlefield, many of the generals were even more confused. Li Jing asked Po Shi to play the banner of revenge for Apo on the battlefield, and made this attack as an attack on Dulan Khan by Nili Khan, and then proposed to surrender when the battlefield was in good shape. Most of the unfavorable Yunnei came to reinforce the horses, but most of them couldn't figure out the form, and finally thought that it was really just an infighting between the Turkic khans. For this kind of civil war, in the case of bad shape, they very traditionally surrendered to the Poshi special service, who had the upper hand. Anyway, on the grassland, the weak eat the strong, and whichever Khan is stronger, this is an old habit, and no one thinks there is anything wrong. This battle started suddenly and ended suddenly, the 10,000 Yunnei army only lost less than half of the troops, and the strength was still there, but it had been persuaded by Po Shi to surrender.

After this great victory, Li Jing immediately reported the good news to Yi Feng in a flying letter, and at the same time briefly reported a series of battles in the south, and asked Yi Feng for instructions on the next battle plan.

The horse's hooves sounded loudly on the avenue outside the city.

The ranger sentry in charge of scout reconnaissance, riding on a sweaty war horse, his tired face was pale, and he couldn't straighten his waist? , just hugged the horse's neck and galloped towards Bayi City. The sentry had a red flag on his back, and it also said that he was in a hurry.

Seeing this, none of the officers and soldiers on the road outside the city went up to stop them. This is a messenger with an urgent military situation, and it is not only in vain to trample the horse to death. I also have to bear the charge of blocking military aircraft.

At night, the city of Limayi was quiet, and the army of 50,000 had already marched north a few days ago. However, there are still 100,000 troops stationed here inside and outside the city. The garrison of 100,000 troops in Mayi has long become a large military camp, and there are barracks everywhere inside and outside the city, and there are military camps stationed twenty miles away from Mayi City. The messenger galloped like a gust of wind, leaving only a cloud of smoke and the ringing of bells on his horses. The guard on the side of the road who wanted to step forward to stop the investigation just now almost couldn't dodge, but fortunately he found that he recognized the messenger in time to roll and dodge, and the soldier who escaped the catastrophe but got covered in mud couldn't help but spit and cursed in a low voice: "Dare to be so arrogant when you plant a flag, damn it." Who doesn't know that the 50,000-strong army only marched thirty or forty miles a day, and now it is still 108,000 miles away from Yunnei City. ”

The messenger did not hear the grumbling of the pawn at all, but ran towards the city of Ma Yi at a gallop.

The city of Mayi had already been curfew, and the city was closed, and the messenger ran to the city and shouted to the city: "Marshal He Ruo has 100,000 urgent military information to report to Gao Xiangguo, open the city gate quickly!" ”

The officers defending the city heard that it was Marshal He Ruo who sent back the letter. It was still 100,000 urgent, and he didn't dare to delay at the moment, so he hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened. When the messenger was welcomed into the city, he personally brought two soldiers to escort the messenger to Gao Gong's temporary retreat.

The officer led the way for the messenger. On the other hand, he asked: "This brother, you are in such a hurry, but have the Turkic soldiers already gone south?" ”

The messenger had worked hard all the way to the city of Mayi. I was also relieved in my heart, and said with a smile at the moment: "The Turks are only afraid that they will not be able to go south again." It is great news, the imperial grandson has won several big battles in Daibeilian. Tens of thousands of Turks have been annihilated and tens of thousands have been surrendered, and the Turks are about to flee back to the north. Marshal He Ruo and they are all in a hurry, if they don't hurry north, I am afraid that the Turks will be wiped out by the emperor and grandson, and our middle route army will not even be able to drink a sip of soup. ”

In the middle of the city, Gao Gong had already fallen asleep, and he was already sixty years old. is over the age of sixties, and in this era he is already considered to be old, he has been in charge of the phase for many years, and he is overworked, and now he is short of energy after all. Last time, he had been driven out of the center by the emperor, although he came back soon, and this time he also got the difference of commanding the Northern Expedition, but during this time, he strongly advocated supporting the army, and wanted to wait for the Turks to tear apart the Taisun first, and then go north to clean up the situation, which was also under a lot of pressure.

He waited all day for the news of the defeat of the Turks and Taisun, and he was worried that Taisun would not be able to withstand the Turkic attack and there would be an accident.

But until now, the imperial grandson just didn't fight with the Turks, and was bent on cowering in the city, making him anxious and sleepless at night. Things have reached a stalemate, the Turks have invaded the Great Wall for a long time, but he has not reacted for a long time, and he has not gone north to fight, and he will not last long in such a situation. The situation in the court has also been turbulent recently, the king of Han is stupid, a Taiyuan assassination case, so that the king of Jin, who was originally suppressed to the bottom, has successfully turned over, and now not only got out of house arrest, but also was able to go to Hedong as the governor of the state, although the king of Jin is now staying in Jinzhou and refuses to go north to merge the state, and is unwilling to fight the king with the crown prince. But this does not mean that the King of Jin is soft to the grandson, but it just shows more and more that the King of Jin is unwilling to give up, he is just waiting for an opportunity. King Jin must be staring at himself now, just waiting for the opportunity to attack himself fiercely in front of the emperor. He stationed troops in Ma Yi and did not advance, he must have already been seen by the King of Jin, and he couldn't last long.

It was late at night, but Gao Gong was not sleepy at all, and his mind was full of hesitation. Should we hold out for a few more days, or should we immediately lead the army north?

Suddenly, the voice of the general's report sounded outside, "Xiangguo, Marshal He Ruo has a letter, and the messenger says that it is an urgent matter of 100,000." ”

"Bring the messenger to the Frontrooms." Gao Gong replied.

Gao Gong heard that He Ruobi had 100,000 urgent military intelligence messengers to report, and he was uneasy, what kind of situation was it that He Ruobi was worthy of He Ruobi to use the word 100,000 urgent.

In the antechamber, when Gao Gong arrived, he had already seen the general sitting there with a tired officer, and when he saw him come in, he hurriedly got up and packed his luggage.

"What kind of military situation is so urgent, could it be that the Turks have broken through the Wuruan Pass and entered Hebei?"

He spoke casually, and did not expect the messenger to answer. Unexpectedly, the messenger got up and replied: "The emperor's grandson is using troops on behalf of the north." Won a great victory and defeated tens of thousands of Turkic troops. 30,000 captives! ”

Gao Gong, who was inspecting the envelope, heard this, and his hand shook. The whole person was stunned.

"How is this possible!" Gao Gong shouted in his heart. Then he tore the envelope with both hands, opened the letter, read it, and hurriedly swept it over, and the letter in Gao Gong's hand fell to the ground, and he sat on the chair with some weakness. Things were completely unexpected by him, and he had been looking forward to Yi Feng's battle, Yi Feng's war with the Turks, and their defeat. Now, the imperial grandson is finally willing to fight. But this result was not the kind he wanted at all, the emperor Taisun defended first and then attacked, and suddenly sent troops to attack, there was no battle array duel he expected, it was all raids, ambushes, raids, ambushes, encirclement and reinforcements, each broke through, and even important Turkic figures surrendered, and helped recruit a large number of Turkic soldiers. What the hell is going on here. A moment ago, the imperial grandson seemed to be completely frightened by the Turks, and did not dare to go out of the city to meet the battle. And at this moment, the imperial grandson seemed to be possessed by the god of war. Sun Wu is alive, and there are many strange soldiers, and there are many good news. The Turks had an army of 200,000 men, but they were defeated by several partial divisions of the emperor's grandson. It's hard to believe.

Then he thought of a most realistic question. What should he do?

The crown prince has already achieved such a brilliant victory. Can he sit back and wait? According to the current situation and state, maybe the imperial grandson will sweep through Daibei next and sweep away these incompetent Turkic fools one by one. Does he want to sit in this horse and watch the good news of the imperial grandson all the time? No, it can't be like this. If this is the case, when he returns to the court, he will be finished. There has to be a way to remedy it, and it has to be remedied.

Gao Gong paced around the room with his hands behind his back, and after a moment he had already made up his mind. Now is no longer the time to think about how to weaken Taisun's strength, so that Taisun has to join the princelings and actively cooperate. Now we must abandon these ideas, and we must take the initiative in this battle for the north.

"Someone is coming, immediately send an order to Marshal He Ruo, and ask him to quickly go north immediately and recover Yunnei and Heng'an." Gao Gong said, "Then order the troops of Mayi, tomorrow the fourth watch will make food, and the fifth watch will set off to the north." ”

Tiancheng County.

Li Jing convened the generals again, and in addition to the officers of the 6th Cavalry Battalion, there were also Turkic generals such as Poshi who attended the meeting. After a series of victories, Li Jing now has more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the Turkic army is as high as 30,000, which is ten times the number of the 3,000 Huaihuang cavalry of the sixth battalion. However, with a series of victories and an increasingly clear situation, Li Jing still controlled this army very well.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have just received a letter from His Royal Highness, the Imperial Highness, who is very pleased with our victory and highly appreciates it. Now that His Highness has given us a new mission, it's time to strike back. In the county yali, Li Jing was elated, and a series of adventurous actions since he went south achieved a great victory that even he himself could not imagine. They defeated several Turkic armies and surrendered a large number of Turkic troops, and it was because of their series of victories that the situation on the battlefield in the north of the present dynasty completely changed.

Li Jing got up, walked to the large map spread out, and pointed to Tiancheng's location above.

"Everyone, please see, this is our current location, Tiancheng County, in the northeast of Yunnei County, southwest of Huai'an County, which belongs to the northeast end of Shuozhou, and the border with Yanzhou. As you can see, now that we have firmly controlled this place, it means that we have isolated the Dulan Army in Yunnei and the Daman Army in Yanzhou from the Kuhe Zhensuo Division. The current situation of the Turks is not good, after a series of setbacks, their strategic layout has been completely broken, and now they are scattered all over the place, this is a good opportunity. Li Jing was very mocking of the Turks' battle plan, the so-called division of troops into four routes, and the plan to attack Daibei Zhuzhou County was quite arrogant, and now after they were counterattacked by the Sui army, the whole plan was immediately full of loopholes. The armies were scattered and unable to rescue each other. "His Royal Highness's plan is to divide and surround each one. Our first target is the remnants of Daman in Huai'an City, and there are more than 10,000 people. And His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun has already surrounded the east and west with General Dou Jiande, outflanking the Kuhe Zhenbu under the military capital. The Imperial Grandson will first surround the Kuhe Shinbu, and after we have solved Daman, we will immediately go east to settle the Kuai Shinsho Department together. ”

Bing Yuanzhen pointed to the Sanggan River south of Tiancheng on the map, "Ulzhou still has a part of the soldiers and horses of Daman and Kuhezhen, and there are no less than 30,000 cavalry in total. ”

"I also see this, and Your Highness knows it." Li Jing nodded, pointing to the first line of the Sanggan River, as well as Ulzhou in the south, the first line of the Sanggan River is also a part of the Datong Basin, and Tiancheng is also a part of the Datong Basin, they are like two slender fingers stretched out from the Datong Basin, and Ulzhou is a separate basin. The basin of Ulzhou can be connected to Tiancheng and Yanggao in the Datong Basin in the north, Huaiyan Basin in the northeast, and Hunyuan in the Datong Basin, as well as Lingqiu and Daiju in the southwest. Li Jing defended Tiancheng and could block Daman and Kuhezhen who had entered Yanzhou, but they could also enter Ulzhou, and even Ulzhou still had 30,000 Turkic troops, who could enter Yanzhou to reinforce Daman and Kuhezhen. Therefore, Yi Feng asked Li Jing to guard Tiancheng at the same time, but also to guard the passage between Yanzhou and Ulzhou. "The grass ditch between Yangyuan and Huairong, the stone gate between Weixian and Zhuolu, plus the Tiancheng we are stationed now, guard these three places, then now more than 30,000 people in Daman and Kuhezhen in Yanzhou have become turtles in the urn, do you understand?"

The Turks originally wanted to bloom on all sides, but now they were broken by each one, and now Daman and Kuhezhen have become turtles in the urn, and they will be shut down and beaten by dogs.

"What about the 30,000 horses in Ulzhou?" Qi Guoyuan asked.

"The meal should be eaten one bite at a time, for the time being, let's ignore the 30,000 horses in Ulzhou, let's just stare at the two big fish of Daman and Kuhezhen, and catch them all, and we must not let them slip away. To catch these two big fish, the most important thing is whether we can hold the gap and guard the three passes of Tiancheng, Caogou and Shimen. Your Highness has placed this task on us as a sign of trust in us. ”

Poshi was present at the meeting, but he, like the rest of the Turkic generals, did not make a speech. The plan was discussed and decided by Li Jing and the Sui generals, but at this time, looking at the red and blue pencil markers on the map of the Sui army, he was still full of complicated feelings. Who would have thought that before the various units of the Turkic army were advancing all the way, in the blink of an eye, they had become embattled and surrounded by all sides. At this time, he was even a little glad that he was captured by Li Jingsheng for that tiger hunt, otherwise, he would not be on the winning side now, but in the same embarrassing and dangerous situation as Daman and Kuhezhen.
