Chapter 347: The Turks Attack

On the steppe, among the Turkic tents, countless Turkic soldiers guarded their holy land, as the master of the Great Turks, Shibi Khan led millions of Turkic men and horses, controlled hundreds of thousands of cranes, and his prestige was invincible. Especially after the siege of Yang Guang, the prestige of Shibi Khan reached its peak, a sound of zero down, invincible, on the vast grassland, no one dared to offend Shibi Khan's orders.

On this day, there was a guest in the tent, it was Liu Wenjing who came from Jinyang, he came on the order of Li Yuan, for this operation, Liu Wenjing did not resist, as long as it was not a scourge and a person from Bingzhou, Liu Wenjing was like this. What's more, he doesn't like Li Xin, a young guy is in a high position, and more importantly, Li Xin is not a nobleman, which makes Liu Wenjing even more resistant.

"What has Tang Guogong been busy with lately?" Shibi Khan sat on the throne of the white tiger, and there was an eagle behind him, with a twinkle in his eyes, staring at Liu Wenjing coldly.

"Bandits. Tang Guoyi was just exterminating the bandits in the state on the orders of the emperor. Liu Wenjing didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said.

"The Central Plains has not been very stable in recent years!" Shibi Khan glanced at Liu Wenjing intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "I didn't expect that the state would be the same under the governance of Tang Guogong, Lord Liu came today, but he needs the assistance of my Turkic soldiers and horses?" I am friends with Tang Guogong, as long as Tang Guogong asks, my Turkic people are still very friendly to friends, and I will definitely support Tang Guogong. Shibi Khan's words caused bursts of laughter in the big tent.

In fact, the relationship between Shibi Khan and Li Yuan is not very good, not to mention that after Li Yuan arrived in Taiyuan, he repelled the attacks of the Turks several times, it is said that when the initial Bi Khan led the army to besiege Yanmen, he was able to capture Yang Guang alive, and it was Li Shimin who forced Shibi Khan away. His so-called friends are probably also for the sake of so many gold and silver treasures brought by Liu Wenjing.

"Hehe, Khan is too worried. Although there are some bandits in the state, there is nothing to worry about. "Where did Liu Wenjing agree to let the Turks go to Bingzhou, so how many ordinary people can be saved in Bingzhou!

"And what about the gentleman?" Shibi Khan was a little confused, he didn't believe that Li Yuan gave gifts for himself for no reason, if he didn't have any requirements, he wouldn't be from the Central Plains.

"It's the son-in-law of my family, Li Xin, the Duke of Liangguo, Liangzhou is barren, there are many bandits, especially Jincheng is now a treasure of Liangzhou. The mansion of the Duke of Liangguo in Jincheng was built in gold, and in the palace, it cost 400,000 gold to spend gold, it was a real city of gold, and Li Xin's overnight pot was made of gold, so much money naturally attracted countless bandits, and the Duke of Liangguo had insufficient soldiers and horses, and he had to guard the passes of various cities. There are fewer soldiers and horses, so I want to ask the Khan to send troops to help Liang Guogong clear the bandits in the territory. Liu Wenjing said with a smile.

"Haha, that's interesting. The dignified Tang Guogong actually even thought about his son-in-law. At this time, Shibi Khan understood why Li Yuan wanted people to send so many gold and silver treasures, silk and silk, and his feelings were not for himself, but for his son-in-law, and he wanted to let himself attack his son-in-law. Wouldn't Tang Guogong find it interesting for Shibi Khan. This was true not only of Shibi Khan, but also of the Turkic generals around Shibi Khan.

Liu Wenjing's face was slightly red, although she didn't want to admit it. But I have to admit that Li Yuan's move is a bit absurd, the grievances between Li Yuan and Li Xin have long spread all over the world, and with the death of Chai Shao and the decline of the Chai family, the world laughs at Li Yuan for having no vision, and now Li Xin is even more dominant in the northwest, with more than 100,000 soldiers, if it weren't for the barren land in his hands, I am afraid he would have become the first warlord in the world. At this time, Li Yuan borrowed the hands of the Turks to deal with Li Xin, which was also a kind of expression, although Liu Wenjing was thick-skinned, but in the end, he was a literati, and he was also a little embarrassed on his face.

"Li Xin occupies the northwest, although he is not the king, but his antipathy has been revealed, and Tang Guogong is just a thief." Liu Wenjing craned her neck and said loudly. At this time, he could only say this.

"No matter what it looks like, the matter of attacking Liangzhou is very important, and I need to think about it seriously." Shibi Khan said solemnly. Although his army is very strong, if he wants to attack Li Xin, he still has to think about it seriously. Liangzhou is different from Bingzhou and Youzhou, although Bingzhou and Youzhou are not as prosperous as the Central Plains, but the population is still a lot, but Liangzhou is mostly a desert land, the population is even more sparse, attacking Liangzhou, it means that you can't get any supplies for a long time, and you may capture Liangzhou by yourself, and get more than you lose. Shibi Khan had to think about it. He is the lord of the Turks, not only for the Ashina family, but also for other tribes, otherwise, who will die for him in the future?

"You all say it, Li Yuan asked us to attack Li Xin, hehe, the Han people in the Central Plains are really interesting, they actually want us to send troops to Liangzhou, what do you say?" Shibi Khan looked at the people under his command and said: "Liu Wenjing said that Liangzhou is rich, and Li Xin's houses in Jincheng are made of imperial palaces, if we capture Lanzhou Jincheng, we will get countless gold and silver treasures, what do you say?" ”

"Great Khan, no matter where it is, let's go and loot it first, whether it's Li Xin or Li Yuan." General Kang Yanli said disdainfully: "The Central Plains Flower World, I think it should be the Great Khan to enjoy, and now the Central Plains is in turmoil, which happens to be the best opportunity for us to go south." ”

"Stupid." Shibi Khan glared at his general with dissatisfaction, and said: "Although the Central Plains is very good, it is definitely not what we can enter now, and the emperor of the Sui Dynasty is not dead." There are many passes in the Central Plains, and it takes a lot of effort to capture these passes, and the people of the Central Plains are hostile to our Turks, and if they attack rashly, they will definitely be drawn into the war in the Central Plains, although our number is very large, but they are not as good as the people of the Central Plains. ”

"Great Khan, the more chaotic the Central Plains, the less of a threat to us, if the Central Plains is unified, just like the Emperor of the Central Plains, attack on our Turks, since Li Yuan let us attack his son-in-law, and sent so many gold and silver treasures, then we will attack his son-in-law. After plundering in Liangzhou, we will come back, so that we can get a lot of gold and silver treasures from Liangzhou, and if we can make Li Xin give in and ask him to send us some gold and silver treasures, we will retreat. We constantly harassed and attacked the Central Plains, forced the Central Plains to be vassals to our Turks, and let them kill each other, but we could not give them the opportunity to unify the Central Plains, which is the royal road of our Turks. In the corner of Shibi Khan, a thin Central Plains man whispered.

He was a down-and-out literati who came to the grassland in the Central Plains, and was rescued by the son of the Khan of Qimin.

Who is Dubi? Now he is just a prince, but in later generations, he is the famous Jieli Khan, who almost entered Chang'an, and finally forced Li Shimin to set up the Weishui Alliance. But now, he is just an ordinary tribal leader in the big tent.

"What do you think?" Shibi Khan looked at Ashina and said.

"Attack Liangzhou and let the people of the Central Plains see how powerful we are. This is not only to get more gold and silver treasures, but more importantly, to deter those careerists in the Central Plains, so that they know that no matter what they do, they must not forget our Great Turks. He said loudly: "Today's Li Xin is like this, and the same is true for Li Yuan in the future, I heard that the Central Plains is now all kinds of anti-kings have rebelled, what we have to do is not only to make them respect us and pay tribute to us, but more importantly, when they are almost fighting, our Turkic army will enter the Central Plains in one fell swoop, seize this picturesque country, enjoy the wealth of the Central Plains, and sleep with the women of the Central Plains, so as to live up to the strong physique given to us by the sky." Great Khan, Dubi is willing to be your vanguard and attack Liangzhou. ”

"Is Liangzhou really that rich?" An old man said hesitantly. He is the leader of the Black Wolf Tribe, and there are two or three thousand people under his command, and he happened to come to the tooth tent to pay tribute today, so he will encounter this kind of thing, he looked around and said: "I heard from the merchants who came and went, there are many places in the Central Plains that are very rich, but there is no Liangzhou. Great Khan, I'm worried that after we send out our troops, will we be able to get enough from Liangzhou? ”

"This time, we mainly want to look at those anti-kings in the Central Plains, all the Turks who do not submit to us will be unlucky, and they will tremble under our iron hooves, and only those who surrender to us can get our support." Dubi said loudly: "Khan, the people of the Central Plains have been pressing on our necks all these years, and now it is time for us to fight back." ”

Shibi Khan nodded, and the aggressive words went to his heart, he was not interested in ruling the Central Plains, but letting the people of the Central Plains surrender under his feet, this was what he wanted, when he attacked Yang Guang, wasn't that what he wanted? He didn't care how much he could gain by attacking Liangzhou, he needed to find a target to show off the Turkic martial arts. Li Xin is undoubtedly a good target, there are not many soldiers and horses, and this place in Liangzhou is also suitable for large-scale cavalry battles, such an object is just the right to start and defeat Li Xin, presumably the other overlords of the Central Plains dare not underestimate the iron cavalry of the Turks.

"Then attack Liangzhou, tell the major tribes, lead the elite soldiers of each tribe, not too many, 50,000 soldiers and horses in the tooth tent, 50,000 soldiers and horses from other major tribes, a total of 100,000 people, attack Liangzhou, this Khan wants to make Li Xin completely prostrate under my Turkic iron cavalry." Shibi Khan finally made up his mind. (To be continued......)
