Chapter 20: A Bad News (Two in One)
Luo Shixin heard the news that Luo Yi led the entire tribe to escape, and the whole person was not good.
After calculating the time, now they can't chase even if they pursue, and they can't help but scold: "This bastard belongs to a rabbit, and the thief who runs is fast!" He also deserves the same surname as Lao Tzu? It's just a rabbit. ”
Xue Wanjun's expression was a little complicated and said: "Luo Yi has led soldiers for more than ten years, and he is a veteran soldier. Knowing that it was impossible to do, he must have made preparations for retreat in advance. "He was originally a general under Luo Yi, even if Luo Yi was unjust to him in the past, and now he is a head-on enemy with him, there is still something strange in his heart.
Liu Renliang also said: "Luo Yi's escape may not be all bad, at least we have avoided the embarrassment of attacking their fort." ”
Luo Shixin was not very surprised by Luo Yi's escape.
This army of his way intends to conquer the Turks, and the three horns are the key to Bik. Otherwise, the back road will reveal huge flaws, which will be extremely disadvantageous in the long run.
The most important thing in this long-distance expedition is that the back road is stable, and it is impossible to leave a nail that will not be removed.
The three horns are lost, and the rest of Luo Yi, even if he has the fort, he can't last long. Luo Yiruo is guarding the fort, and the only way waiting for him is death. Luo Yi is extremely ambitious, and he is unwilling to die here in such a humiliated manner, and his escape is a matter of course.
Luo Shixin cherished the lives of his subordinates very much, and did not intend to storm the fort until it was absolutely necessary, causing unnecessary casualties. Forcing Luo Yi to escape, and then volleying halfway is a tactic he has thought about, and he has been thinking about how to implement it and how to achieve it. As a result, the opponent on this side has just been eliminated. Luo Yi ran ahead of the curve, directly destroying Luo Shi's intention to achieve great success in his confidence.
This is a good thing that you don't have to attack the fort. But leaving Luo Yi, the enemy who repeatedly said bad things about him and opposed him, really made him feel unhappy.
Mo Hu'er understood Luo Shixin's feelings best, patted his chest and said: "Luo Yi, that old guy is useless even if he has three holes, and the cunning rabbit can't outrun the hunter's palm." As long as he is in the Turks, when the general cleans up the Turks, he can be cleaned up by the way. The old guy escaped this time, but he couldn't run the next time. After all, it will be planted in the hands of the general. ”
Hearing Mo Hu'er say this, Luo Shixin also smiled and said: "It also makes sense, Luo Yi's little thief ran away and the monk couldn't run away from the temple." Even if he fled to the ends of the earth. Lao Tzu can also pull him out and step on him flat! Looking at the battlefield full of messes, he waved his hand and said, "Brothers are fortunate to have finished tidying up the battlefield." I'll invite everyone to lamb bone soup. After replenishing our bodies and resting, we continued to march north, breaking the Turkic royal court in one go, and creating the achievements of Wei Qing and Huo Quai, the great Han Dynasty in the past! He finally raised his arms and exhaled, with an impassioned look on his face.
As a good son, who hasn't thought about protecting the family and defending the country and achieving a career?
Even in the new era of the afterlife. Whenever I watched on TV about the country's intention to invade and occupy a certain island in China, a certain lama did not recite sutras in the temple. But when he thinks about independence, when a certain number one country relies on its powerful and unrivaled military power to oppose his country everywhere, he can't help but feel indignant, thinking that if he has the ability to destroy a certain country, he will take off the lama's head and kick it as a ball, and the first country will kneel down and call his father.
This qiē is just a youthful angry and obscene thought, which he knows is impossible, but it is undeniable that this kind of obscene thought can bring great emotion and excitement to him at that time.
Now because of a coincidental accident, he came to the Tang Dynasty and became the world's fierce general Luo Shixin, and he is leading the Tang soldiers on the road of Wei Qing and Huo Quai, and the whole person is also full of an inexplicable feeling.
The soldiers all around were full of yearning and shouted along with them.
Sonic boom in the sky.
That night, Luo Shixin found Liu Renliang and asked him to write two letters on his behalf.
"You wrote down the details of these battles we fought in the form of a war report. Write two letters, one for the pharmacist and the other for Li Shiji, the two letters should be written in detail, preferably exactly the same, just change the title. ”
Listening to Luo Shixin's instructions, Liu Renliang became suspicious, and this was written to Li Jinghao. As the commander-in-chief of the Third Route Army, Luo Shixin had the obligation to write a battle report to inform Li Jing and let Li Jing know some about the battle situation. But it is a little unreasonable to write to Li Shiji, as a colleague of equal status, Luo Shixin's letter is suspected of showing off his military exploits. I have been with Luo Shixin for more than a year, and I also understand Luo Shixin's temper, so I didn't hesitate and asked directly.
Luo Shixin said with a smile: "Don't worry, this is what the pharmacist ordered, he said that the battle situation is like water, unpredictable, and some unpredictable things will happen anytime and anywhere." As a general, he leads the troops outside, pays attention to improvisation, and adapts to the times. Tactics cannot remain the same, and dead tactics can never win live tactics. This time, Datang took great risks to conquer the Turks, and once it failed, the three of us and the other three were the sinners of Datang. So he repeatedly stressed that he would not give us any instructions and let us respond to situations on our own. However, it also gave a suggestion for us to communicate more with each other. In the case of fighting yourself, don't ignore the soldiers and horses of the other two routes. Let's get to know each other and cooperate with each other as much as possible. ”
Liu Renliang was stunned, and he didn't ask any more, and wrote down the letter according to his words.
Liu Renliang has an efficient intelligence network on the grassland, and sending secret letters also comes in handy.
*********
Within one day, Luo Shixin defeated the Hammud tribe of the Sticky and Woo tribes, and led the crowd to flee.
The news was like a thunderbolt from the blue, echoing in the sky over the Turks.
The whole Turk was shocked, and the whole Turk was in panic...... They scattered and shouted:
The evil spirits of the East are coming!
"Arsan. "Duolet is wielding a huge scythe at them, trying to slay them all and slay them all."
No one has ever had such a great reputation within the Turks, and no one has ever created such a panic among the Turks as Luo Shixin. But Luo Shixin did it, and he became an evil spirit in the eyes of many Turks, just as he shouted. A stake that can take their lives at will.
When Jieli got the news, he was naturally furious and couldn't stop scolding: "Waste." All of them are waste to three tribes, nearly 60,000 soldiers and horses, and hundreds of thousands of tribesmen, just like that, one day, less than a day, let Luo Shixin eat the two tribes, my carefully arranged defense line. Didn't hold on even for a day! How can the descendants of my wolf god have such incompetent descendants. ”
After the turbulent rebellion, after the lesson of Luo Shixin. Jieli has grown a lot, knows how to buy people's hearts more than before, and knows the definition of perseverance more than before. But at this point, the Turks have reached the point of life and death. Jieli couldn't help but lose his temper. couldn't help but scold to cover up his weakness. As the Khan of the Turks, he knew the current situation of the Turks best.
After two years of civil war, nearly half of their forces were reduced by killing each other. Because of the civil war, they did not have plenty of time to hunt and stockpiles, and many tribes did not have a good winter. Freezing to death and starving to death, everywhere. In the middle of winter, he was also harassed by Xue Yantuo.
More than a blow. All symbolize that the Turks are in danger.
Patience. Jieli forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart, thinking about how to break the situation, and how to lead the Turks to a predicament.
"Sir, what can you do?" Jieli really couldn't think of a countermeasure, so he could only beg Zhao Deyan, who was his arm.
Zhao Deyan's face was also cold, and he even forgot to pretend to be a showman, and the feather fan in his hand fanned hard, as if he wanted to make his brain more sober.
"Today's situation is extremely critical, and the Tang soldiers are coming in three ways, intending to trap us in the north and destroy them in one fell swoop. Now there are only three strategies to choose from. ”
Zhao Deyan was able to become Jieli's confidant, and as a Han Chinese, he became the first Turkic strategist, and he still had some level of ability, and he sorted out a set of countermeasures in a short period of time.
"The first strategy is to transfer the tooth tent, withdraw the Khan Court to the north, and directly escape from the three-sided encirclement of the Tang army. As long as they flee into the far north, the Tang army will not be able to find any trace of our army, and as time goes by, they will inevitably retreat on their own because of lack of food and grass. ”
Hearing this, Jieli frowned, this escape to the north can indeed preserve a certain strength, but it is equivalent to giving up all the Turkic Qiē and giving it all to the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty may not be rare grassland, but Xue Yantuo is rare, if Xue Yantuo took advantage of the situation when they fled north, Xue Yantuo took advantage of the situation and occupied their grassland, what should it be?
Xue Yantuo has now received the support of the Tang Dynasty, when they sit firmly in the northern grasslands, only with their group of remnants defeated, how can they come back from the counterattack?
Thinking of Xue Yantuo's Khan Yinan, Jieli was a headache, he knew that he would bring such danger, he should have listened to Xinyicheng's words in the first place and killed him, so that he would not fall into today's situation.
Shaking off the nonsense, Jieli said: "What are the other two strategies?" ”
Zhao Deyan said: "The intention of the Tang Dynasty is to encircle us and trap us into turtles in the urn, but if we can open a gap in Wengzhong, we can break his encirclement tactics, and we can come and go freely on the grassland." We occupy the right time and place on the grassland, and we can afford to spend more time, but Datang can't afford it. ”
Jieli's eyes lit up to make a decision, but he still asked, "The last strategy?" ”
"Retreat to the west and ask for help from the Khan of Tongyehu." Zhao Deyan said secretly.
Jieli's face changed drastically, and he said with a hint of fierceness: "Shut up, this is for me to hear, and I will not be spared." ”
Zhao Deyan kept his mouth shut.
The Tongyehu Khan was also a Turkic Khan, but not the same as Jieli. Jieli was the Khan of the Eastern Turks, while Tongye Hu was the Khan of the Western Turks.
When the Turks rose up the steppe, it was extremely powerful, and the historical records recorded that "the east is from the west of the Liaohai Sea, the west to the West Sea for thousands of miles, the south from the north of the desert, and the north to the North Sea for five or six thousand miles" The West Sea here is the Caspian Sea, the desert is the Taklamakan Sands, and the North Sea is Lake Baikal, and the power has been extended to Central Asia for a generation, and even allied with the Byzantine Empire to attack Persia, which shows its strength.
But they met Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui, and met Changsun Sheng, under the differentiation of the two. The mighty Turkic Khanate was like a flash in the pan, divided into things and separate from each other, each claiming to be orthodox, and the two had nothing to do with each other.
The situation of Jieli of the Eastern Turks is now critical, but the Western Turks' Tongye Hu has developed the Western Turks very well: Tongye Hu is both wise and brave, good at commanding operations, leading hundreds of thousands of people to control the strings, merging Tiele in the north, rejecting Persia in the west, and connecting Zobin in the south, dominating the Western Regions, and controlling the Silk Road in his own hands.
This defection to the Western Turks is tantamount to admitting that the Western Turks are the orthodox Turks.
This was an intolerable disgrace for Jieli, the Khan of the Eastern Turks.
**********
Compared with Luo Shixin's cheerfulness, Li Shiji's progress is not as fast as his, but focuses on stability, pressing step by step.
He led his troops from Yanmen Pass to the east, step by step, until Dingxiang.
Until this day, he received a letter.
Looking at the letter, I groaned for a long time!
The reflection of the candle flame seemed to be the flame in his eyes, Li Shiji showed a trace of madness, slapped the case suddenly, and shouted: "Pass the order!" Assemble the three armies! ”
But in the time of a stick of incense, 40,000 troops are assembled and ready to standby!
The border army in Li Shiji's hands was almost the same as the border soldier Luo Shixin met for the first time, but under his training, he also had the posture of a strong soldier. This is also a matter of personal habits and methods.
For the sudden assembly, the soldiers ordered by the general were all full of strangeness, and the sky was dark, Fang Gang ordered to camp and rest, but he changed his words and the whole army gathered, which was really confusing.
Li Shiji came to the humble school platform, looked at the surrounding generals and soldiers who were densely packed like ants, and said in a calm voice: "Now tell everyone a bad news...... You should all know that my Datang divided his troops into three ways to attack Wudao Jieli. But just now, he got the latest information from the general Luo Shixin......"
Before he finished speaking, tens of thousands of people whispered a word below, which would also form a huge noise, and suddenly overshadowed Li Shiji's voice.
This news is too unexpected, Luo Shixin is the most famous general in the Tang Dynasty, but the youngest and most brilliant general: he went from a cattle herding baby to a famous name step by step with his combat power, and became the top general of the Tang Dynasty, invincible, and married the woman with the highest status in the Tang Dynasty, the most beautiful princess, and the most talented and capable princess.
Cheng can be described as the winner of life in the Tang Dynasty!
In the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers who admired Luo Shixin admired Luo Shixin's soldiers, and countless people from low backgrounds regarded him as a role model.
But he was defeated...... The three-way army, he was the first to lose.
This...... Unbelievable, unimaginable.
The generals beside Li Shiji also showed shocked expressions and couldn't believe it.
Luo Shixin was defeated...... (To be continued......)
