Chapter 30: Kang Sumi's Surrender
Now the panic is not enough to describe Jieli's mood, Jieli is controlled everywhere, but he still has a confidence in his heart.
Not being able to fight and flee is the most normal thing for the Turks.
It's a big deal that they hid in the depths of Mobei, and when the Tang army retreated, they turned back.
Wasn't that the case with the Huns back then?
The Battle of Henan, the Battle of Hexi, and the Battle of Mobei launched by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty directly drove the Xiongnu out of the grassland and drove the Xiongnu to the north of the desert North Pole, so that the powerful Xiongnu were unable to cross the desert to the south, forming a situation where there was no royal court in the south of the desert. But it didn't take long for the Xiongnu to come back and reoccupy the five counties of Wuyuan, Shuofang, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, and Yanmen.
As long as they flee to Mobei and take a breath of relief, they will eventually have a chance to make a comeback.
As for Xue Yantuo, Jieli admitted that their leader, Yi Nan, was a figure, but he didn't make him look the other way. As a newly rising clan, how the Turks are down, it is also that the emaciated camel is larger than the horse, and it is not something that Xue Yantuo can bully. If Xue Yantuo was unable to resist in front of them, he didn't mind teaching Yi Nan how to behave when he retreated into Mobei.
But he never imagined that the situation would be so bad that the Tang army would form an encirclement of him in just a few days. In this situation, Xue Yantuo's existence is very important.
Tiele is a nation rich in strong soldiers on the grassland, their strength is not strong, there are not many soldiers and horses, but it is more than enough to drag on for a day or two.
One or two days was enough for the Tang army to catch up, and it was surrounded on all sides. Trap them to death.
The little Xue Yantuo, at this time, turned out to be the last straw that was about to sink the Turkic Khanate.
Jieli was completely dumbfounded. All their ways out turned out to be sealed by the Tang Army.
"Damn! It's a rush to kill! Is it true that my Jieli is muddy and doughy? Jieli was extremely annoyed and powerless, and this powerlessness stimulated his evil spirit, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Even if I die, grandpa, I will break their arms." ”
"No!" but it was Yoshisei who spoke. This Yicheng princess of the Sui Dynasty is Turkic Kedun, although it is good to eat and live in the Turks, but after all, it is not as good as the brocade clothes and jade food in the Central Plains. The weather-beaten face is no longer as beautiful as it used to be, but the pair of fierce Danfeng eyes are still the same, ruthless and ruthless. At this moment, she said tenderly: "In our Central Plains, there is a saying that the green mountains are not worried about running out of firewood." A desperate fight is the stupidest of all. Dead and nothing. The Khan will also become a sinner of the Turks, the object of scorn by thousands of remnants of the country in later generations, and the stench will be left for thousands of years. The Khan's intention to build the Turks into a state like the Han Dynasty was to make him, so how could he die lightly? Did the Khan ever remember Goujian? I once told you that Gou Jian was defeated by Wu Wangfucha, and in order to please Fucha, he did not hesitate to give his husband a taste of dung and endure a qiē humiliation. In the end, they colluded to defeat King Wu. Killed King Wu, and all the humiliation was recovered. Until now, the world only knows that Gou Jian defeated Wu State. I don't know the humiliation that Gou Jian has suffered. This is also what we Han people say, becoming a king and defeating a villain. ”
Speaking of this, she said earnestly: "As long as King Khan becomes the final victor, this process, even if it is humiliated, will be beautiful in the end." King Khan, are you really willing, give up your ambitions and become a Turkic sinner? ”
Jieli is a person who cherishes his life, and he is forced to have no choice but to have the heart to fight to the death, and after a little persuasion, the courage to fight to the death was immediately dissipated, and his expression relaxed.
Yicheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it didn't matter to her how Jieli was, whether the Turks were dead or alive had nothing to do with her, although she was the queen of the Turkic Kedun Turks, but she only had hatred for the Turks, and she didn't have any good feelings. What she cares about is the Great Sui: she married the Turks at a young age, and the moment she got on the sedan chair, she knew that the meaning of her life in this world was to promote the friendship between the Turks and the Great Sui Dynasty and save the Great Sui from Turkic attacks. For this noble goal, she sacrificed her youth to marry first Qimin Khan, and then according to Turkic customs, she married Shibi Khan, the son of Qimin Khan, and after the death of Shibi Khan, she married Shibi Khan's two brothers, Chuluo Khan and Jieli Khan, respectively.
For this incestuous and unethical thing, Yoshinari has already regarded himself as a rotten corpse. She sacrificed a qiē for the sake of the Great Sui, but the Great Sui let the national thief Li Yuan steal it, and she did not get the slightest reward for her efforts. She was unwilling to leave it at that, and now the purpose of her life is to prove that her sacrifice over the years is worthwhile and meaningful.
She worked hard to welcome Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao to the Turks, and persuaded Jieli to keep the Great Sui Guozuo, which was also intentional.
Jieli fought with the Tang Dynasty here, and it was none of her business, but without the umbrella of the Turks, the national Zuo of the Great Sui Dynasty would also die......
Yicheng couldn't do anything anyway, and the Great Sui perished like this.
Zhao Deyan also took the opportunity to say: "Khan, we are not completely helpless, Luo Shixin and Li Shiji defeated the Sticky Tribe, the Wu Tribe, and the Ashid tribe all the way. However, Li Jing concealed his eyes, avoided our army's defense line in the west, and returned to our Khan's court. Our forces in the West have not weakened as a result, and we can retreat to the West with the help of their forces. You can go to Tuyuhun and Gaochang, they have deep roots in the West and hold the lifeblood of the Silk Road, they are happy to take us in and deal with the Tang Dynasty with our strength. After a pause, he continued: "Of course, the best choice is to defect to the Commander Yehu Khan, and the Western Turks are the real overlords of the Western Regions. The Khan can follow Goujian's example and make a comeback with the help of the power of the Leaf Protector. ”
This time, Jieli did not angrily reprimand Zhao Deyan, in this time of life and death, defecting to the Western Turks is the best choice. No matter how unwilling he was in his heart, he had to admit it
Ashina Simo, who had not spoken, also said at this time: "Tong Ye Hu has the same blood as us no matter what, rather than being enslaved by the Central Plains people, it is better to rely on the power of his own people." ”
Seeing that almost everyone agreed to flee west, Jie Li did not continue to insist, and agreed.
A group of people thought twice and decided on an escape route.
If a group of them sacrifice their lives to flee, the target is too big, and they will leave in batches.
Kang Sumi was responsible for protecting Yicheng and the Sui Dynasty Emperor Yang Zhengdao and Empress Xiao took the first step, and they led the soldiers to follow.
That night, Kang Sumi secretly set off and led more than a thousand people to the west under the moonlight.
No one expected that Kang Sumi had walked thirty miles in the starry night, so he ordered to turn around and drive in the direction of the moraine.
**********
When the Turks evacuated the moraine, Luo Shixin did not rush to take the army down the moraine slope, but constantly sent scouts to inquire about the news, in order to determine whether Li Jing's reinforcements arrived or Li Shiji's.
The scout had not yet brought reinforcements, but Luo Shixin rarely but unexpectedly received information from the Turks.
A group of Turkic soldiers, numbering less than a thousand people, were rushing from the northwest to the moraine, and the purpose seemed to be the direction in which they were.
When Luo Shixin got the news, he was full of strangeness, sent people to observe closely, made sure that there were no Turkic ambushes around, and decisively ordered Xue Wanjun to lead 5,000 cavalry to surround and kill this group.
"What do you say? Say it again? ”
Luo Shixin and Liu Ren looked at each other.
This Xue Wanjun led his troops to attack, and within three hours, he sent his personal guards to report back.
The guards said succinctly, "The Turkic generals are holding their Kedun, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, who surrendered. ”
In just a few words, the amount of information is really a lot. Luo Shixin couldn't help but doubt his ears.
General Xue led his troops to surround the group of Turkic soldiers, but the Turkic soldiers did not resist, but directly lost their weapons and surrendered to General Xue. What is the name of the Turkic leader Kang Sumi, or Kang Coaomi, indicating the intention of surrendering, and also escorting the Turkic Kedun, the emperor and empress of the Sui Dynasty, who he escorted. ”
"Haha! This...... God, he's on my side! ”
Luo Shixin didn't need to figure out the reason yet, but this pie that fell up and down was not eaten for nothing, and some soldiers and horses were transferred to support, and an order was issued for Kang Sumi to come first and explain the situation in detail.
"Turkic Kang Sumi meets the general...... Kang Sumi's Chinese is not very good, he is not an orthodox Turkic nobleman, and he did not learn Chinese when he was a child, until he grew older, his status improved, and he found that among the Turkic elites, he could not speak Chinese was equivalent to illiteracy, and he would be despised by others, so he was forced to re-learn. But because of the qualitative accent, although he has mastered Chinese, he can speak stiffly, chew on words, word by word, and listen to Luo Shixin a little uncomfortable.
However, looking at Kang Sumi's appearance, Luo Shixin didn't want to listen to anything. This is in the cold north, the grassland man in front of him is sweating nervously, and he can only smile kindly: "Don't be nervous, just ask you a few questions." ”
Kang Sumi saw that the demon he dreamed of every night was so kind, and he felt a little settled in his heart, and still replied bluntly: "General, may I ask ......?"
"Why surrender? What is the situation of the other two armies of my Datang? ”
Kang Sumi secretly glanced at Luo Shixin, although Luo Shixin sitting in the military tent was wearing soap armor, but his handsome face was tall and thin, and his figure did not look like the evil god in his memory, "There is an old saying in this Central Plains, the big bird chooses the wood to rest, I am a native of the Western Regions, and the survival of the Turks has nothing to do with me, and now the army of the Tang Dynasty has arrived near the Khan's Court, and the Turks have no power to fight back, and I don't want to follow the Turks to fight against the general." ”
He was originally a Hu merchant in the Western Regions, but because he was plundered by horse thieves, he was exiled to the Turks, and he was relieved by Shibi Khan and became a Turkic general.
In the offensive and defensive battle at the mouth, Luo Shixin's god-like martial arts scared Kang Sumi's three souls to lose six spirits, and he really couldn't raise the courage to be his enemy, and the Turks fell into death, so he simply surrendered to Luo Shixin, so as not to meet him on the battlefield...... (To be continued......)
