Chapter 902: Under Helan Mountain
"What the minister is worried about is that the Tubo people have already been prepared." Du Ruhui glanced at the map and said: "Helan Mountain is located on the border, and there has been the Duke of Yin in Liangzhou over the years, but the Turks will also harass the frontier. ”
"Sir, you mean that the Turks will also shoot? I, Li Xin, am a little interesting, there are so many people who have come to deal with me. Li Xin looked at the map in front of him.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." At this time, Shen Qianqiu, who was not far away, opened his eyes.
"Chiaki, how's it going?" Li Xin hurriedly walked over and said to Shen Qianqiu: "You have worked hard, I want to thank you." If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would have been calculated by the Turks and the Tibetans! ”
"Your Majesty, Lord Chu and the Great General have already ordered the Duke of Wuwei and General Duan to lead the army to rescue the Emperor in the name of the Wude Hall and the Wuying Palace." Shen Qianqiu said again: "It's all useless, the news that Ashina Simo ran away, Jinyiwei actually has no news at all." Please also ask Your Majesty to punish. ”
Du Ruhui's eyes lit up, and he quickly fell back, this Shen Qianqiu has some ability, and he knows that this matter has a lot to do with their Jinyiwei, so he took advantage of this time to quickly say it, so as not to let someone settle accounts with him in the future.
"There are people in the DPRK and China who collude inside and outside, and I can't blame you for this matter." Li Xin shook his head and said, "Since the generals are ready, then we can rest assured." ”
"Your Majesty, if the Tubo people want to attack Your Majesty, I am afraid that they were prepared two months ago." Du Ruhui said: "The minister thinks, the nearest distance from Tubo to Helan Mountain is through my Liangzhou, Liangzhou is vast and sparsely populated, although the people are relatively few, but if it is a large-scale march, it will still be discovered, if it is a small-scale march." There should not be much to reach Helan Mountain, so the minister thinks that this attack on Helan Mountain is probably mainly based on the Turks. ”
"Where is the green mountain to bury the bones of the faithful, Helan Mountain is tall, in ancient times, it was rumored that Helan Mountain is Buzhou Mountain, so we chose to bury the bones of the loyal bones in Helan Mountain. It seems that the choice in Helan Mountain is probably still a little worse. Li Xin sighed a little. When he was in the Western Regions, the ashes of these soldiers were placed in Lanzhou, and then sent to Helan Mountain, but now it seems that Helan Mountain is a long way.
"Didn't Your Majesty say that these ashes will be sent to the families of the soldiers for their sacrifices, and the spiritual seats will be sent to the capital and sacrificed by the imperial court? The minister thought that it could be implemented this time. Du Ruhui said in a low voice. The emperor went out on patrol to Helan Mountain. Not to mention the long distance, the key is that there is still danger, in case something goes wrong with the emperor, it is a big joke!
"So be it! After this sacrifice, the ashes of the soldiers are sent home, if there is no one in the soldier's family, the ashes of the soldiers will be moved to Taihang Mountain, the towering Taihang Mountain can also be used as a place to bury the bones. Li Xin thought for a while and said, "I will die in the future." The ashes were sent to Taihang Mountain and buried with the soldiers. ”
"Your Majesty." Du Ruhui's complexion changed. Said nervously: "Your Majesty is young and strong, why do you say such things?" Several ministers of the Wude Hall also wanted to find an opportunity to build a mausoleum for His Majesty. His Majesty's mausoleum is related to the stability of the Tang Dynasty, and there can be no sloppiness! ”
"Is this necessary?" Li Xin shook his head and said, "The emperors of all dynasties want to be buried in a good place to shelter future generations. But how long did they take refuge? Didn't the dynasty fall in the end? Didn't the emperor Yang Jian of the previous dynasty be buried in a good place? Isn't it the third life that was destroyed? And then to the previous dynasty, what about Qin Shi Huang? ”
"Your Majesty, this?" Du Ruhui and the others suddenly couldn't speak.
"That's it! Just choose a good place in Taihang Mountain! That place itself is where the dragon veins of the Central Plains are located, and there must be a good place, but there is a point. After my death, there is no need to be so exaggerated, there is no need to accompany the burial, so as not to be remembered by future generations, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty does not need it, he only needs great martial arts, which is enough to leave a name in history, and the rest can only be remembered by those tomb robbers. Li Xin waved his hand and said, "There is no need to discuss these things now, let's deal with the situation in front of us!" The Turks and the Tibetans joined forces to attack, hehe, and even people from within the imperial court, I am very curious, who will attack? ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, with our guards, even if there are many enemies, there is no need to be afraid." Cheng Yanjin said loudly.
"Of course I don't have to worry." Li Xin said with a smile: "Are the Turks powerful? Haven't you been defeated by me? There are so many heroes in the world, and in the end, I unified the world, so what is there to be afraid of? Whether it is the Tibetans or the Turks, they will not send many troops to deal with me, the reason why they dare so much is nothing more than to catch us off guard, since we are already prepared, then their plot is doomed to fail. ”
Du Ruhui nodded, this is also where he is relieved, the enemy pays attention to sudden attacks, since a sudden attack is impossible, then the rest of the things are much easier.
"The minister thought that it would be better to wait for a while, General Duan Qi and General Zheng's soldiers and horses would be killed, and it would be more certain to kill the enemy." Xiao Yu pondered for a moment, but still persuaded him.
"Well, slow it down." Li Xin thought about it, and finally agreed to Xiao Yu's suggestion, he had nothing to do with it, but now there are concubines from various palaces in the camp, as well as princes, and ministers, although there are 10,000 guards, but they have to divide 5,000 people to protect these people. If the enemy comes to attack, his available strength is no more than 5,000 men.
However, no matter what, Li Xin still spent nine days to rush to the foot of Helan Mountain, because here are buried the ashes of the Tang Dynasty soldiers who died in battle, at the entrance, it is natural to repair the gatehouse archway, stone man Weng Zhong and other buildings, it looks solemn. Li Xin's imperial camp was also built on the mountain, because he knew that someone would come to attack the camp, so Cheng Yanjin and others built the camp very strongly.
On August 13, Li Xin personally sacrificed the loyal bones of the soldiers who died in battle at the foot of Helan Mountain, Du Ruhui read out the sacrificial text, and the soldiers of the three armies sang loudly "No Clothes", the sound shook the four fields, after Li Xin, the princes and concubines fell to the ground one after another, thus setting the rules of the Tang Dynasty kings to sacrifice loyal souls.
And at this moment, in the valley only ten miles away from Helan Mountain, countless figures are gathering together, just as Li Xin and others guessed, this time against Li Xin, the main ones are Turks, Tubo people, Goguryeo people, but there is no Han Chinese.
The leader of the Turkic people is Yi Nan, this guy who has fought with Li Xin many times this time led the army again, and the figure of the Tubo leader is also very famous, Songtsen Gampo's general Shang Nang, as for the Goguryeo people, it is a young man named Park Huiren, in terms of military strength, the Turks have the most, with 20,000 cavalry, followed by Tubo, with only 3,000 people, and Goguryeo is the least, but 300 people. But in terms of combat effectiveness, it is the Goguryeo people who are the most powerful, and what these people are best at is the way of assassination techniques, and these wandering swordsmen don't know where to find them.
"According to the news, Li Xin will sacrifice those dead soldiers on August 13, feast the ministers on August 15, and hunt Helan Mountain on August 16." Yi Nan said proudly: "I am going to attack Li Xin on the night of August 15, while they are drinking, what do you think?" ”
"Good." Shang Nang nodded and didn't speak, this time he just listened to Lu Dongzan's words and cooperated with the Turks. So he only came with 3,000 people, all pretending to be business travelers. The weapons on his body were also provided by the Turks.
"The evening is more suitable for us to attack." Park Hye Ren said unhurriedly. Three hundred, although the number is a little less, Park Hye-in believes that these three hundred people will definitely not be much worse than three thousand. He could even take the opportunity to take Li Xin's head. The thought of this made Park Hye In's heart happy.
"Very well, then follow this plan." Yi Nan said happily: "Li Xin didn't know at this time, we were going to assassinate them, in his camp, there are already our people, I believe that we will soon be able to get the defense map of Li Xin's camp, at that time, it is time for us to attack." ”
"It's better to be careful, Li Xin can unify the world, the means are definitely not so simple, we know that Li Xin has a team under him, called Jinyiwei, which is pervasive, if they know our plan, I'm afraid things won't be so simple." Shang Nang frowned, the Tubo people still know less news, and this Yi man still has internal responses.
"Even if he knows how, he only came with 10,000 soldiers and horses, plus at least 5,000 people to guard the battalion, the actual combat capacity is only 5,000 people, can 5,000 people deal with so many of us?" Yi Nan said proudly: "Li Xin knew too late. And the map of the defense of his large battalion, we soon know. ”
"Li Xin is also damned, I didn't expect that even the people around him would betray him." Park Huiren said disdainfully: "Such a person can also be an emperor and unify the world, it seems that the Central Plains Dynasty is not very good, I believe that soon, our Goguryeo will definitely invade the Central Plains and seize the picturesque Central Plains." ”
"The rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty are also our Turks, and I am afraid it has little to do with you." Yi Nan looked at Park Hye-in with disdain, can one succeed by assassination? If you want to seize the world, it is also a real knife and a real gun, and assassination is just a small way!
Shang Nang just looked at the two of them quietly, Tubo was just a passerby, if he didn't want to watch the Tang Dynasty become stronger and stronger, and Songtsan Gampo, who had just unified Tubo, would never have done such a thing. He has already made up his mind, if he succeeds, he will take advantage of the situation, and if he fails, he will turn around and leave. (To be continued.) )
