Tunyugu is right, if the Turks don't give up on Monan and retreat to Mobei, there will be no chance.

The strength of the Turks was already far from that of the Tang Dynasty, and this time, the Tang Dynasty poured its troops into attacking the Turks, and the Turks were already at a disadvantage, and under the blow of the Tang army, they suffered heavy losses. First it lost tens of thousands of troops, and then it lost a large number of herdsmen, cattle, sheep and horses.

Now, the loss of Black Sand City will make matters worse for the Turks, and it will deal a great blow to the morale of the Turks.

Moreover, Wang Xiaojie will definitely order the Tang army to attack in a big way, then the losses of the Turks will be even greater.

Although he had long had the plan to give up Mo Nan and retreat to Mo Bei once the war was unfavorable, but when it was time to make a decision, Mo Si was unwilling.

What is unwilling is to give up Monan, which is much better than Mobei, which was obtained with the blood and bones of the Turks, and if you give it up like this, no one will be reconciled.

"There's no other way?" Mo Si asked, staring at Lust Valley.

Lust Valley shook his head.

Mo Si's face was gloomy, and he said: "Although I have long planned to give up Mo Nan and retreat to Mo Bei when the war is unfavorable, I didn't expect it to come so quickly. This is all Li Longji's harm, it's all him! ”

According to the original assumption, even if the Turks had to abandon Monan and retreat to Mobei, it would be a long time later, at least three or two months later. But he didn't expect that it would come so quickly, and less than a month after the war began, the Turks had to give up Monan.

This is all because of Li Longji's idea, which disrupted Mo Si's plan, and he was very unhappy.

"Khan, Mo Nan is good. But it was too close to the Tang Dynasty. The Don army can attack us at any time. We're going to lose a lot. Tun Yugu persuaded and said: "Although Mobei is bitterly cold, it is far away from the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang army is beyond the reach of the whip, and it is difficult to attack us. As long as we retreat to Mobei, recuperate and recuperate, until the army is strong and strong, and then make a comeback. I will be able to avenge this day. ”

After a pause, he said: "The Xiongnu went south several times, but they were all defeated by the Central Plains, and they had to flee back to Mobei to get a respite. ”

Before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu marched south three times: the first was in the middle of the Warring States Period, when the majestic King Wuling of Zhao was defeated in the land of Hetao; The second was at the end of the Warring States period. was ambushed by Li Mu in Daihai and defeated hundreds of thousands of Huns; The third time was Meng Tian's defeat of the Xiongnu in the land of the Hetao.

These three major defeats. The Xiongnu had to retreat to Mobei and recuperate until the soldiers were strong and went south again. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Mao Dun almost captured Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, posing a huge threat to the Han Dynasty.

Today's Turks are facing a similar situation to those after the defeat of the Xiongnu.

"Lust Valley, you're right, it's time to make a decision." Mo took a long breath, forced himself to calm down, and said: "The loss of Black Sand City is a huge boost to the morale of the Tang army, Wang Xiaojie will inevitably order the Tang army to attack on a large scale, and we will face a huge crisis, it can be said that the life and death of the Great Turks has come, and we should leave Mo Nan as much as possible." Order: Dress as lightly as possible and return to Mobei as quickly as possible. ”

It can be expected that the pursuit of the Tang army will be extremely fierce, and if the Turks do not travel lightly, they will not be able to leave.

"The Khan has an order: travel lightly, throw away everything that can't be taken away, and return to Mobei as soon as possible."

"The loss of Black Sand City, the Tang army is attacking on a large scale, we are running out of time, we must return to Mobei as much as possible, and throw away all the bulky, unacceptable, and will drag us down."

"The Tang army's pursuit is very fierce, if necessary, the sheep, the old and weak, who move slowly, all give up, as long as Ding Zhuang can return to Mobei."

As soon as the order was passed down, the various departments were busy carrying it out, and it didn't take long for groups of Turkic herdsmen to follow lightly and head towards the north of the desert.

These herders are as fast as the army.

This is mainly because they are frightened by the news of the loss of Blacksand City, and it will not work out soon.

At this moment, if you look from the air, you can see that on the desert of more than 1,200 miles, there are Turks rushing northward everywhere, and behind them is the Tang army that is in great pursuit.

In Heisha City, Li Longji, Zhang Shuo, Chen Xuanli, Xue Zhi, Li Kuan, Su Fan, Pei Xiaoke, and Zhang Xiaofei gathered together to discuss military aircraft.

"We conquered the Black Sand City, slaughtered the Turkic herdsmen near the Black Sand City, we captured a large number of cattle, sheep and horses, and we achieved a great victory." Li Longji slowly spoke, and said: "This is one of the biggest victories we have achieved since the Turkic rebellion, although the number of kills is not as many as the Battle of Montenegro back then, its significance is no less than the Battle of Montenegro. ”

In the Battle of Montenegro, the Tang Dynasty killed hundreds of thousands of Turks in one fell swoop. So many years have passed, and there are piles of Turkic bones on Montenegro. However, the biggest regret of the Battle of Montenegro is that Black Sand City was not taken.

Now, Li Longji has taken Heisha City, which is of great significance, no less than the battle of Montenegro back then.

"However, the Turks are still not ending, and there are still many big wars to be fought, what should we do, you can speak freely." Li Longji changed his words and said loudly.

"King Chu, I thought we should be ready for battle." Zhang Xiaofei hurriedly said: "Black Sand City is so important, Mo Si must want to recapture it, if he leads his troops and horses to attack, it will be a fierce battle, and we have to be prepared." ”

"That's right." Li Kuan, Su Fan and Pei Xiaoke echoed loudly.

Black Sand City is very important, and it is very likely that Mo Si led his troops and horses to attack and want to take it back.

"Not really." Chen Xuanli shook his head and said, "In my opinion, it is very likely that Mo Si will not come to attack us, but abandon the entire Monan and retreat to Mobei." ”

"Give up Mo Nan, won't you?" Zhang Xiaofei, Li Kuan, Su Fan and Pei Xiaoke were very surprised.

Monan is very important, and the Turks gave up Monan, which is a bit hard to believe.

"I also think that the Turks will abandon Monan." Xue Zhi agreed with Chen Xuanli's judgment and said, "If Mo Si wants to recapture Black Sand City, then he is killing himself. First, because the city of Black Sand City is high and thick, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Turks lacked siege equipment. To capture the city of Black Sand. Hard. Once the Murphy troops are under the fortified city, it will give us a chance, and the marshal will definitely lead a heavy army to reinforce us, and then the Turks will be finished. ”

"Reasonable." Zhang Xiaofei scratched his head.

"The second is that even if we can't defend Black Sand City, we can still destroy it. We only need a fire, and we can burn Black Sand City to the ground, then. What Mo Sip left was nothing more than ruins. Xue said directly: "With the shrewdness of Mo Si and Tun Desire Valley, I won't fail to think of this. ”

"Bang Bang!" Li Longji and Zhang said high-fives in appreciation.

"Xue Zhi said it very thoroughly, I dare to predict that the Turks will inevitably abandon Monan and retreat to Mobei." Li Longji's eyes flashed, and he said: "What follows is a pursuit battle, which is not easy to fight. ”

"The King of Chu is right, this pursuit battle is very bad." Zhang said that his face was gloomy, and he said: "First, because the Turks are familiar with the desert, even if they can't beat us. It's not hard to escape. The second is because the Turks are frightened and will inevitably travel lightly. It is necessary to return to Mobei as quickly as possible. Third, because the desert is empty, it is very difficult for us to pursue. How to prevent the Turks from retreating to Mobei, you have a good way, talk about it. ”

Zhang said this very thoroughly, and explained all the difficulties of the Tang army in pursuing the Turks.

"This ...... In any case, the Turks cannot be allowed to retreat to Mobei. Chen Xuanli's face was worried, and he said: "The Huns of that year fled back to Mobei, recuperated, raised strong soldiers and horses, and then made a comeback." ”

"It's really not good, the imperial army will attack Mobei and strike a fatal blow to the Turks, just like the Han Wu did back then." Xue Zhi thought about it, there was no good way.

"It's a last resort, but it's going to come at a huge cost." Zhang Shuo shook his head.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu, which was a major event in Chinese history, and it was precisely because of his efforts that the Xiongnu were defeated to extinction, and the Xiongnu race only survived in history textbooks.

However, the price paid by the Han Dynasty was very large, and it halved the household registration in the world, which means that more than half of the casualties were killed, which is a huge price.

It is precisely because of this that later generations scolded Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for being reckless, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a mixed reputation.

If the Tang Dynasty had to chase after Mobei, the price paid would be very large, perhaps no less than that of the Han Dynasty back then. If nothing else, a crossing the Peerless Realm will have to pay a big price.

"The desert is so empty, there is no dangerous terrain that can be exploited, and it is easy for the Turks to escape." Pei Xiaoke scratched his forehead, looking helpless.

If there is dangerous terrain that can be exploited, you only need to control these places to surround the Turks. But this is on the desert, unobstructed, if you want to block the Turks, it is not ordinarily difficult, it is very difficult, it can be said that it is not easier than ascending to the sky.

Zhang Shuo and Chen Xuanli frowned tightly and were silent.

"You're right, it's very difficult to stop the Turks in the desert, but it's not impossible." Li Longji glanced at everyone, looked at everyone's anxious looks, and said slowly.

"What? Is there any other way? Impossible, right? The crowd looked incredulous.

"There is a place where the Turks can be stopped." Li Longji put his right hand on the map and said, "Here!" ”

"Moraine!" The crowd exclaimed.

"That's right, it's the moraine." Li Longji nodded heavily and said, "Back then, Jieli threw down more than 100,000 troops in Yinshan and fled for his own life. In the months that followed, he was pursued by the imperial court. After hiding in Tibet for several months, Jieli was desperate and wanted to return to Mobei through Guò Mokou, but was captured alive at Mokou. ”

After Li Jing attacked Yinshan at night, Jieli Khan left behind hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops and fled for his own life. But he hid in Tibet for several months, and was finally captured alive by the Tang army at the mouth of the moraine.

"Mokou is the junction of the south of the desert and the north of the desert, although the desert is empty, if the Turks want to withdraw to the north of the desert, they must go to the moraine." Li Longji is very determined.

"King Chu, not necessarily." Zhang Xiaofei didn't believe this judgment, and said: "The desert is empty, and there are many roads to go back to Mobei, so you don't necessarily have to go to the moraine." ”

"yes." Pei Xiaoke echoed loudly.

"It's true that the desert is empty, but from the south of the desert to the north of the desert, you must pass through a thousand miles of boundlessness." Li Longji explained, "To pass through the guò thousand miles of peerless territory, there must be a large number of people and work together. Therefore, I expected that the Turks would converge on the way north, and that they would enter the Absolute Territory through the moraine. ”

"Yes." Zhang Shuo, Chen Xuanli, and Xue Zhi agreed with Li Longji's judgment in unison. (To be continued......)
