Chapter 15: A Bloody Affair Caused by a Mare

The hatred between Jieli and Tuli is deep, and although the two sides have put aside the struggle for the sake of the livelihood of the clan, they are gathering strength with the intention of annihilating each other. It's just that Jieli is an old Turkic force, deeply rooted in the steppe, although it is because of a moment of downfall, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the old Turkic tribe is still more convinced of him, and his strength is still as strong as ever.

Tuli is young and vigorous, representing the strength of the new generation of Turks, and his overall strength is indeed weaker than Jieli, but he has the support of the Tang Dynasty, has excellent equipment, has strong armor, and his strength is not much inferior to Jieli. After the battle, each suffered heavy losses, and no one could help anyone.

The more this is the case, the more Jieli can't tolerate Tuli, and there can only be one king on the grassland, and Tuli has threatened his survival, and he can't be allowed to continue to develop. Tuli is also average, he already has the strength to match Jieli, and when it is time to regain his position, he is not willing to give up.

For the survival of the tribe, they can accept a truce, but it is fanciful to want them to shake hands and make peace.

They lack a fuse now, and as long as someone lights the fuse, there will be another war.

No one could have imagined that the trigger for this war was a mare: there were two tribes living not far apart on the east and west banks of the Nozhen River, and the two tribes were also at peace with each other. But one day, a mare of the Turkic tribe on the east bank, when he was drinking water, fell in love with the handsome stallion on the west bank, and came to send him across the river, and the tribe on the west bank did not leave.

The Turkic herdsmen, who had received a mare for nothing, were naturally overjoyed. There are many wild horses living in this grassland, scattered wild horses. It is not uncommon for herds of horses to defect to herders, and herders are only lucky to themselves.

Turkic herders who had lost their mares were happy to see their horses living in each other's lives. She was pregnant with a cub and wanted to go back.

The two sides disagreed. It was also a big shot.

The Turks put the tribe above and involved the entire tribe. It just so happens that each other, one belongs to the Jieli camp, and the other is the Tuli camp.

In order to show all the tribes that he cared for the tribes that had served him, Tuli sent out a large army to destroy the tribes on the west bank. Jieli was also furious when he heard the news, and it was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, when the Turks were at their freeest, and the army moved with it. Directly with Tuli.

The Turks have never had any secrets to speak of when they fight, and even three-year-old children know that the war is coming, not to mention the secret agents sent by Liu Renliang.

Because of Luo Shixin's special instructions, Liu Renliang transmitted the news to Gyeongju as soon as possible.

"After holding it for five months, it's finally time to fight!" Luo Shixin clasped his hands together, stood up, and took two steps back and forth excitedly: "Immediately wear my order, and order Xue Yong, Su Dingfang, and Mo Hu'er to deal with the military affairs and make friends with the deputy generals." The personal guards under the command of each leader went to Luziguan in Saimen Town to gather. Mr. Ma, you immediately prepare ten days' rations, ask for good dried meat, and find another time to transport 800 sets of new clothes and armor to Luziguan. Mr. Liu. You continue to keep an eye on the Turks, investigate their news, see where they are fighting. After I'm gone. The three of you are solely responsible for every matter in the Governor's Mansion, and everything is decided by mutual consultation. You don't have to report back to me. ”

One command after another came out of his mouth, simple and powerful.

Liu Renliang, Ma Zhou and Luo Shixin have been together for half a year. But I have never seen him lead the troops to fight, only until he does nothing and dares to delegate power, it is rare to see him so bold, and he was a little stunned for a while.

Wang Xuance had already surrendered to Luo Shixin, and knew that Luo Shixin would not be too peaceful, so he was not surprised by this, but he felt that it was a pity that he did not have the opportunity to fight with Luo Shixin.

Ma Zhou hesitated: "What do you want to do, General?" ”

Luo Shixin squinted and smiled: "Go to the grassland to train the soldiers......"

Liu Renliang thought of Luo Shixin's appointment, and immediately reacted, and whispered: "The general wants to follow the Turks? This is not an easy time, I wonder if the court will allow it? In addition, the general should not forget that Shuo Fang is still in the hands of Liang Shidu, and he is a lackey of the Turks. How could he lightly let the general pass by his borders? Even if they don't check for a while, let the general break through. When you come back, wouldn't it be dangerous to cut off the way of the general if you join forces with the Turks? ”

Luo Shixin said with a smile: "It's not easy to retrain the border army that has lost its fighting spirit, and the above has given me great autonomy." As long as I don't lose and embarrass Datang, they don't care about my responsibility. As for Liang Shidu, hum, there is one generation of mice in the evening, so there is nothing to be afraid of. However, Mr. Liu's concerns are also somewhat reasonable, and this rat generation will occasionally eat leopard gall. In this way, let's have a training and gather all the soldiers at the border, I want to see how many soldiers Liang has who dare to block me. ”

Luo Shixin said proudly, with his current status and power, he has long since stopped taking Master Liang in his eyes. The reason why Shuo Fang was not taken back was because Li Shimin wanted to surrender his troops without a fight, and he wanted Liang Shi to sacrifice Shuo Fang himself to avoid unnecessary consumption. After all, the Tang Dynasty is not so rich now, and Shuofang is also a fortified city, and if it is forcibly attacked, it will increase the loss of labor and money, not to mention, and it will fight with the Turks early.

This is equivalent to cheapening the sudden profit, Li Shimin's heart is as black as carbon, and he has already seen the pros and cons of this thoroughly, and does not do things that harm others and himself.

Shuofang, the Imperial Palace!

"How can it be!" Liang Shidu was furious, threw the exquisite tea vessel in his hand on the ground and fell apart: "How can you be a general, you can't do anything to deal with just horse thieves, can I Liang still count on you to defend the country?" ”

Liang Luoren's face turned pale, but he was speechless, he had been busy for more than half a year, and he really couldn't help the other party's hundreds of people.

Qiwu Shan Yanpei and his gang said that they were horse thieves, so it was better to call them thieves.

They were originally officers in Shuofang, because of the decline of the Sui Dynasty and repeated invasions by the Turks. Shuofang, as the frontier of the Sui Dynasty and the Turks, was the first to be threatened. In the face of foreign invasion, as a countryman, he has never lacked the courage to fight to the death. Captain Yan Pei led a group of Shuo Fang's soldiers to fight on the front line against the Turks.

Despite the strength of the Turks, they still held their post and did not retreat. The Turks could not help them, and they did not want to increase the casualties of the strong fortresses, so they always bypassed them and plundered elsewhere.

However, Liang Shidu rebelled against the Sui and established himself as emperor. Yan Pei and his party were not interested in who would be the emperor, they only wanted to protect their homeland. But the first thing Liang Shidu did after the rebellion was to recognize the Turks as his father...... Yan Pei couldn't bear it anymore. After fighting the Turks for a long time, his two younger brothers were killed, and many of his relatives and friends died under the Turkic butcher's knife.

They have a deep hatred for the Turks, and now they want them to be the dogs of the Turks and serve the Turks, which is not possible.

Yan Pei was furious, and took his brother who was willing to follow him to become a horse thief. He also did not rob the common people and merchants, but attacked the Turks from time to time, relied on the sale of stolen cattle and horses to make a living, and from time to time he would help the local people, which was well received by the people.

The people also knew what Yan Pei was doing, and they didn't treat their group as horse thieves at all.

This Shuofang originally belonged to the grassland, Yan Pei and his party grew up in Shuofang, skilled in arching horses, and a veteran of the battlefield, Shuofang, where Liang Shidu was located, was not persecuted because of the existence of Yan Pei and his party, Yan Pei would help them attack some horse thieves who invaded Shuofang, and he couldn't make it difficult for them.

But the last time Liang Shi was attacked, some people recognized some of the corpses left behind as Yan Pei's subordinates in the past, and it was also revealed that they were Yan Pei's gang.

Liang Shidu was threatened with death and gave the order to exterminate Yan Pei and his group.

After careful planning, Liang Luoren controlled Shuofang Dajia's family and forced Yan Pei's lair out, intending to wipe them out, but he really didn't expect that Yan Pei's group was small in number, but their strength was so strong. They swarmed down, forcibly tore through their defenses, and forced their way out.

They couldn't resist it.

Watching as he saw it, a group of people disappeared from sight under the leadership of that brave young man.

After that, he also tried his best to find Yan Pei's whereabouts, but the people of Shuofang were all towards Yan Pei and them, which caused great distress to their search, so that for more than half a year, there was no progress at all.

Liang Shi lost patience and became furious.

"I'm giving you half a month, don't come back to see me if you can't catch Yan Pei."

Liang Shidu drove Liang Luoren out.

Just when his atmosphere was unsettled, he got the news from the border that Li Tang had assembled an army at the border.

The whole person was stunned in an instant!

shouted: "Quick, quickly invite the general!" ”

He disdained to discuss matters with his subordinates, and the only one he could trust was Liang Luoren.

As soon as Liang Luoren entered the main hall, Liang Shidu had already strode forward in a hurry and said, "General, the Tang army is assembled at the border, saying that it is training." But what kind of soldiers are you training inexplicably, do you say you're going to fight us? ”

Liang Luoren's expression also changed drastically, and he lost his voice: "Now that King Jieli Khan is fighting against Tuli, do they want to take advantage of this time to attack?" Capture Shuofang? ”

"Possibly!" Liang Shidu shouted in shock: "Quick, quickly send someone to inform King Jieli Khan, just say that the Tang army is coming, let him support quickly." Also, transfer all the soldiers to Shuofang City, seal the four gates at speed, strengthen the city defenses, and prepare to defend Shuofang City...... No matter what, we must defend it to the death, and we can't let the Tang army conquer it. ”

Liang Luoren hurriedly received his order.

They also transferred troops and sent generals, guarding Shuofang like an iron pass, completely disregarding, and the people in the surrounding towns shrank like turtles.

And when Luo Shixin was shrinking, he calmly passed through the Shuo Fang that no one was holding onto. (To be continued......)
