A heavy rain fell on Youjing, and the heavy rain hit the roof tiles of Linshuo Palace, and there was a crisp sound.
In front of the window, Li Chongjiu looked at the northern sky, and the layers of dark clouds were accumulating.
"Tuli is really a wolf with ambition." Li Chongjiu put down the letter from Princess Yicheng in his hand.
Wen Yanbo, Xue Wanshu, and Wang Qi on the side glanced at each other. Wang Jue said: "Your Majesty, now is not the time for us to turn against the Turks, we have always hoped that Li Tang can fight with the Turks and lead the troubles to the east. ”
Xue Wanshu also said: "Yes, Tuli and Chuluo Khan have different dreams, we just need Tuli to contain Chuluo, and now Princess Yicheng comes forward and takes the lead in making peace, which is to give the two families a chance to step down." ”
Li Chongjiu glanced at Xue Wanshu, brushed his sleeves and said angrily: "Tuli this time instigated Dahe Duluo to send troops, leading me to rebel in Yanye, and our side will take the initiative to make peace, you don't want to be embarrassed, you still have to be embarrassed." ”
Wen Yanbo saw that Li Chongjiu was angry, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The king also asks for anger, those who become great things need to be tenacious and forbearing, when Gaozu had the siege of Baideng, the matter of Lu Hou and his relatives, when it came to the Han Dynasty, he accumulated a hundred years of national strength to defeat the Xiongnu." Li Tang is our enemy of life and death, and the Turkic power is stronger than me and Li Tang, we need to marry a princess now, and then use the power of the Turks to suppress Li Tang, which is the best policy. ”
Li Chongjiu knew that all the ministers were opposed At this time, Zhao and the Turks were fighting, and they wanted to sit back and watch the Turks fight with Li Tang, which was of course the best policy. But the Turkic Luo Khan and Zhao Yande are both treacherous and cunning people. Do they not see the plans of the courtiers?
In terms of national interests, Li Tang. Li Zhao hoped to form a good alliance with the Turks and attack each other. And the Turkic Chuluo Khan touched his own hole cards with Li Yuan, so he profited between Li Tang and Li Zhao. The Turks used the matter of Li Liang to force Li Yuan to donate money, and also ceded the two counties into submission, and today they can also use the affairs of Yan Ye's department. Let's make a big fuss.
Li Chongjiu's eyes narrowed, before he sent out the army, he took precautions, if Xue Wanche is a sword in his hand, Zhang Xuansu is his own scabbard, whether the scabbard should cover the sword, to see how Zhang Xuansu judged the shape of the time......
The north bank of Wuhou Qinshui. Zhao Jun camp.
The Turkic envoy with a pointed hat strode into the camp.
On the side, Zhao Junhu's guards were eyeing him, but the other party turned a blind eye.
After entering the big tent, the Turkic envoy first looked around at the generals of the Zhao army sitting in the tent.
After that, the Turkic envoy coughed lightly, slowly spread out the sheepskin silk in his hand, and said, "I am in the place of the great Turki Khan." Read the final decision to you Han people, from today onwards, all of you Sui people will retreat to the south bank of Wuhou Qinshui, and Wuhou Qinshui will be bounded on both sides. is regarded as a provocation against the Turks. At the same time, stop the attack on our Turkic allies, the Khitan and Xi tribes. From this day on, all the tribes will live in harmony, and if any of them take the initiative to provoke, it will be regarded as a betrayal of the alliance, and the khan will unite the other tribes to send troops to fight in order to maintain the precious peace on the steppe. And from this day on......"
"Enough!"
Xue Wanche suddenly rose, his eyes like a sword.
The Turkic envoy said: "Do you know that if it weren't for the favor of the Han people, you would have died under my Turkic iron hooves today?"
Xue Wanche sneered and said, "Tuli Khan has many conditions, I don't know if you are willing to listen to my Zhao Jun's conditions." ”
The Turkic envoy sneered and said, "What qualifications do you have to talk about what conditions!" ”
Xue Wanche said: "Good courage, go back and sue you Khan, my answer is only one sentence, a decisive battle in Japan!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the Turkic envoy's face changed, and he sneered and said, "Han people, you will regret your decision today." ”
With that, the Turkic envoy shook his robe and strode out of the tent.
After the Turkic envoy left, all the generals in the tent secretly applauded, and when the Turkic envoy entered the tent, the domineering appearance had already made everyone dissatisfied. Seeing Xue Wanche angry and driving back the other party, he was all angry in his chest.
However, there are also a few old and serious generals, but they think that Xue Wanche's move is very inappropriate, and the current Zhao State is not an opponent of the Turks at all in terms of military strength, and if he offends the Turkic envoys, the risk of a decisive battle in the future is not huge.
At present, Li Chongjiu is in Youjing, Wei Chigong is in Taiyuan to guard against Li Tang, Xu Shiji is in Hebei to intimidate Liu Heimin, and the few people in Zhao who are the most capable of fighting are not there. Therefore, it was Xue Wanche's turn to lead the troops, and everyone felt that the other party's prestige and qualifications were not enough, and he commanded half of the army of Zhao State.
At present, the main force of Zhao State, these more than 70,000 troops are gathered on the bank of the Wuhou Qinshui River, according to their ideas, as long as they can join forces with Wang Junkuo's army and get out of the siege from the Turks and Khitans, they will win. But Xue Wanche blasted out the Turkic envoys, this is the intention to gamble the fortunes of the country in the First World War, this decision is too hasty.
Everyone looked sideways at Zhang Xuansu, King Zhao took him as the prison army, but he was the head of the cage to restrain Xue Wanche, what did he think of Xue Wanche's decisive battle?
Interested people see that Zhang Xuansu has always been at ease since the Turkic envoy entered and exited the account, and he didn't seem to take this matter to heart at all. This person is very powerful, and the generals are not sure what he thinks in his heart.
However, Xue Wanche glanced at Zhang Xuansu, after more than ten days of getting along with Zhang Xuansu, he admired the other party's resourcefulness and insight very much. Therefore, Xue Wanche, who has always been above the top, always has a respect for Zhang Xuansu in his heart, but seeing that Zhang Xuansu was silent, he immediately asked: "What does Zhang She want?" ”
Zhang Xuansu stroked his long beard with his hand, and said with a straight face: "This time the army, Tuli is really provocative first, the army hits me for no reason, the king has the virtue of a good life, and he can't bear to see each other, so he can make peace with me, and I can't fight again, but now Tuli is arrogant, thinking that I can be bullied by Zhao people, we are really unbearable, there is no need to talk about peace, there are clouds in ancient times, although those who commit strong men will be punished far away, and the generals can be reluctant." ”
"Well said."
Several generals high-fived them together. Qin Qiongyan said: "A certain person is a rough person, he can't say anything, Zhang Jianjun's words are all in our hearts." ”
Luo Shixin also said: "Our army has been forbearant first, but Tuli thinks that we are weak and can be bullied, rather than this, it is better to fight!" ”
Xue Wanche patted the case and said: "The military heart is available, you tell the whole army, tomorrow the camp will go north, and prepare to fight to the death with the Turks." ”
The next day, Xue Wanche ordered Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin to lead 3,000 elite soldiers as the vanguard, Tudiji 3,000 Jing Ya cavalry as the left wing, Guo Xiaoke as the right wing, and nearly 40,000 troops to march north.
The army penetrated fifty miles deep into the steppe and encountered the main force of the Turkic iron cavalry.
On the steppe, the horn sounded, and the Turkic iron horsemen marched in array in the distance.
In the center of countless Turkic wolf rides, under the black wolf, dozens of Turkic generals are like stars holding the moon, surrounding the Turkic Khan.
Tuli is only twenty years old this year, very young, but as a son of the Ashina clan, he inherited the great talent and strategy of his father Shibi Khan, and even his uncle Chuluo Khan did not dare to underestimate him.
This time, after he heard that Xue Wanche's army was heading north, he ordered Dahe Duluo to lead the Khitan and the Xi coalition army to continue to monitor Wang Junkuo, and he personally led 30,000 Turkic iron cavalry to the south to intercept Xue Wanche's northward reinforcements.
The armies on both sides were already dozens of miles away, and they showed each other's movements, and each sent a white army to test each other.
The black wolf Daxu slowly advanced, and the Turkic scouts in front returned in waves, informing the Turks of the location of the Zhao army and the distribution of troops.
When many Turkic scouts returned, their bodies were either stained with blood or wounded, and the Turks heard that the original Zhao army's rangers, stepping on the white army were very brave, and once the Turkic scouts appeared, they rushed forward to fight and expel them, and did not let them get close to the surrounding of the army.
The Turkic scouts are the elite of the Turkic cavalry, and the Turks have been crisscrossing the steppe for decades, and they have never seen any cavalry dare to provoke the Turks in cavalry battles.
The two sides fought very fiercely, and the Turkic cavalry felt that although there were not many cavalry on the other side, they were not afraid at all in cavalry combat. The two armies had not yet clashed, and the scouts of the two armies fought dozens of battles, and each other suffered hundreds of casualties, although the Turkic cavalry had a slight upper hand overall, but the advantage was not obvious.
This time, even Tuli himself was surprised.
