Chapter 786: Cutting the Enemy's Arm (First Update)
The daytime battle lasted for a day, and the two sides did not seem to be able to distinguish the winner, but Chen Ah Si could see that the faces of the Turks around him did not seem to be very good. Chen Ah Si knew in his heart that none of the Turks in the vanguard of the Zhao army would be able to win, let alone the army that followed.
During dinner, Chen Asi immediately said to the Turkic who came in to bring him food: "I want to see you Lord Yu Sheshe!" ”
The Turk could not understand his words, and shortly after leaving the tent, the Sogdian came and saw Chen Asi and said, "What is the matter with you?" ”
Chen Asi's eyes moved, thinking that this person seemed to be touching Mo Na in Ashina, and he seemed to be trusted and reused. At that moment, Chen Asi spoke: "I want to see you Lord Yu She, this gentleman, you should be a Sogdian, why do you work for the Turks?" ”
The Sogdian laughed and said, "It's stupid for you to ask this question, we Sogdians are originally dependent on the strong and exist, and the Turks are the most powerful people in the steppe, so of course we are attached to them." ”
Chen Asi was ridiculed by the Sogdians, and he wanted to retreat a little, but he still stubbornly said: "The Turks are the most powerful people in the steppe, and I don't think they will be anymore soon." Sir, do you want to think about your future? ”
The Sogdians rolled their eyes and said, "Back road, what back road?" ”
Chen Asi heard what the other party said, and immediately smiled and said: "Although I don't understand it very well, I also know that after we were captured here, we have not been abused and tortured, it should be because someone is taking care of us, with the rough character of the Turks." Naturally, no, I guess it was you who helped, sir. ”
A look of appreciation flashed in the Sogdian's eyes, and he nodded and said: "You have seen it very thoroughly, yes, this is what I arranged, this war is a war between your Zhao State and the Turks, and it has nothing to do with my Sogdians." You must know that we Sogdians have always been very peace-loving. ”
Chen Asi's mind turned when he heard this, he knew that this Sogdian wanted to be left and right, and now the Turks looked like they were about to fall, and there was nothing wrong with leaving a way back for himself. But how should he persuade him? His eloquence has always been not very good. I don't know what to say at this time.
But the Sogdians smiled and asked, "Do you want me to help you persuade Lord Yu to surrender to Zhao?" ”
Chen Asi was told by the other party, and his face turned slightly red at the moment. He asked, "Isn't it possible?" ”
The Sogdians smiled and said, "Yes." So what's my benefit? ”
Chen Ahsi heard that the Sogdians were the best merchants in the steppe. Since he is a businessman, he is concerned about profit.
Chen Ah Si didn't know how to promise him, as the head of the gang, he was not qualified to negotiate on behalf of Da Zhao or anything. But he also has a stupid solution. If you can't answer anything, you just ask, "Then what benefits do you want?" ”
The Sogdian was obviously not a man to be deceived lightly, and he said: "I have seen your token, although you are an officer of the Zhao army, but you are only a gang leader, and in your capacity, can you promise me anything?" ”
Chen Asi's heart was cold, he didn't expect to be seen through by the other party, but he forced himself to say: "Joke, do you think I can't promise you anything?" ”
The Sogdian seemed to be frightened by Chen Asi, and he was stunned and said, "Could it be that you are the son of some high-ranking official of Zhao State?" By the way, you have made great contributions this time, if you don't die, you will inevitably be reused when you return to Zhao, Zhao's most important military merit, you are promoted to the third level is the least, yes, if you add the credit of persuading the Turks to surrender a department, this person's future is unlimited. ”
Chen Asi saw that he didn't expect this step, but this Sogdian had supplemented it for him, and he was secretly glad in his heart.
The Sogdian hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I can help you, but as for how you repay me, it depends on what happens after persuading Lord Yu Jie, I can arrange for you to meet with Lord Yu Jieshe, as for how to persuade him, it depends on your own ability." ”
Chen Ah Si began to listen and thought that there was some way to persuade Ashinama, but when he heard this Sogdian say this, he immediately said angrily: "I thought it was a good idea, if Lord Yu Jie can persuade him, why don't you speak yourself, can I, a person who doesn't understand Turkic dialect, persuade him?" ”
The Sogdian smiled and said: "I can only help you so much, as for whether you can succeed depends on your luck, I can kindly remind you, Lord Yu Sheshe is very worried about the battle situation today, your Zhao army's combat effectiveness shocked him very much, and he is very discordant with Jieli Khan, when he fought for the position of Khan, he was defeated in his hands, so he was not convinced by Jieli from the bottom of his heart, but he is not in harmony with Tuli Khan, so he has no good impression of Zhao who supports Tuli Khan, and there is only so much I can help you." ”
When Chen Asi heard what the Sogdians said, he said to himself: "This Ashina Momo does not like either Jieli Khan or Tuli Khan. So how do I convince him? ”
Chen Ah Si suddenly became distressed, pacing back and forth in the tent, thinking about how to persuade, but after walking more than a dozen circles, he didn't find the answer.
At this time, the Sogdians on the side wanted to speak several times, wanting to remind Chen Asi, but he really had no way to point it, and finally he couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily: "Why are you so stupid?" Ashina Momo doesn't like Jieli or Tuli, but he doesn't want to be under either of the two, he actually wants to be a khan himself. ”
"Oh!" Chen Ah Si suddenly realized and said: "Thank you so much, if I persuade Ashina Momo, I will definitely repay you." ”
The Sogdians on the side said with great pain on their faces at the moment: "You are so stupid, how do you want you to repay me, okay, since this is the case, I will teach you again, you can pretend to be the envoy of Zhao State......"
That night, Chen Asi, who pretended to be the envoy of Zhao State, entered the big tent of Ashinamo.
Chen Ah Si saw several pots of empty wine on the ground, and it was obvious that Ashina Mo was in a bad mood at the moment. Ashina Mo Mo saw Chen Asi but surprisingly didn't put on a face, pointed to a wolf skin dwarf, asked Chen Asi to sit down and said with a pleasant face: "I also know a little Chinese, but I can't speak it well." Just tell me directly. ”
Chen Asi immediately made a comparison and said something to Ashina Momo, and Emperor Zhao was willing to canonize Ashina Momo as a Turkic Khan on the steppe and replace Jieli. Ashinamomo was a little unconvinced, but Chen Asi took out a document written in Turkic to testify.
Of course, this document was written by Chen Ah Si from the Sogdians.
When Ashina Mo saw this document, he read it several times, and he was pleasantly surprised in his heart. This Turkic script is written very well, and the following inscription is undoubtedly Li Chongjiu's three words. And this Han army general obviously did not understand the Turkic language, and it was impossible to deceive himself with a document written in Turkic script. As for Tuli, he is on the same page as himself. It is even more impossible to persuade himself to surrender with the letter that he made himself a Turkic khan.
Chen Asi couldn't help but feel worried in his heart when he saw Ashina Momo's face blue and white, he didn't know if this Turkic prince had seen through his forged letters.
But seeing Ashina Momo, he finally asked, "Your Majesty has the intention to canonize me as a Turkic Khan. Then why did you send troops to attack me in the first place? ”
Chen Asi listened to this, and his heart tightened. Sweat oozing from his forehead. He knew that if he didn't answer this sentence well, he would have lost all his credits. But when he encountered a question that he couldn't answer, he continued to ask in the same way: "Yes, my lord, why do you think Your Majesty?" Will they send men against you when you are persuaded to surrender? ”
Chen Asi asked this question is dangerous, if this Turk is angry, he is likely to kill himself with a knife.
But seeing that Ashina Mo was not angry, but pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "I know, okay, His Majesty Zhao is too troublesome, so I will write a letter in Turkic language, and you will pass it on to the general on the opposite side for me, and tell him that I am willing to surrender and lay down my arms, but I am not allowed to harm my people." ”
Speaking of this, Ashinamomo paused: "If the general on the other side agrees to my condition of being a Turkic Khan, I am willing to form a brother with you." ”
Chen Asi was taken aback when he heard this, and said in his heart, the prince of the Turkic Ashina clan wants to form a brother with me, I'm not dreaming.
Seeing Ashina Momo nodding affirmatively, Chen Ah Si said: "Please rest assured, I'll do it for you!" ”
Ashina Momo listened to it and said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, please please." ”
Chen Ah Si walked out of the big tent with Ashinamo's reply letter in his hand, and the Sogdians waited anxiously outside, and when they saw him, Chen Ah Si smiled at him and said that he had succeeded. The Sogdians breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Asi knew from the bottom of his heart that this Sogdian probably wanted to surrender to the Zhao army a long time ago, so it was not that he used him, but that he used himself in turn.
However, if he was used, he was used, Chen Asi thought about it, he had nothing to lose in the middle, and if he succeeded in persuading him to surrender, he would still get a great credit. At that moment, Chen Ah Si rode a horse and was escorted out of the camp by more than a dozen Turkic cavalrymen, and when he left the Turkic camp, he couldn't believe that he had survived.
On the way, he met Zhao Jun and Lu Jun, and after Chen Asi reported his identity, he was brought into Xue Wanche's big tent.
"Chen Ah Si, the third fire commander of the White Army, see General Xue!"
Xue Wanche knew that Chen Asi was a person, and when he saw that the other party returned safe and sound, he was slightly surprised: "The general thought that you were killed, but I didn't expect to come back." ”
Chen Asi's eyes were filled with tears, obviously thinking of his dead robe, and he immediately said: "General Qiyu, the reason why I was able to come back alive this time is because I was a prisoner of the Turks. ”
Xue Wanche's expression was sharp when he heard this, and he smiled coldly: "Okay, it turns out that you saved your life like this!" ”
Chen Asi nodded, and immediately told the story of his capture by the Turks, and also told the truth about Ashina Momo's willingness to surrender.
Xue Wanche obviously didn't expect that in the end, things would have such a twist and turn, and he stepped forward and hammered Chen Asi on the shoulder a few times and said, "You kid, what kind of shit luck has you taken, such a great achievement has been made for you." ”
Hearing Xue Wanche scolding and praising himself, Chen Asi could only smirk.
Yinshan path.
The wind and snow were flying, and Li Chongjiu watched the army advancing on the mountain road.
More than 200,000 troops crossed the Yin Mountain under heavy snowfall, which was a difficult military operation to complete in general.
But for the large-scale movement of the army, it is not impossible, in another time and space, Li Jing also led the elite to cross the Yinshan Pass, and successfully attacked the Jieli Khan Court with more than 10,000 cavalry in winter, completing the most critical battle of Li Tang to destroy the Eastern Turks.
Compared with Li Tang's time and space, at that time, Jieli's Eastern Turkic power was weaker, and Li Shimin's decision to crusade against Jieli at that time was to take advantage of the Turkic internal Turks and other generals to rebel and leave, and most of the cattle and sheep in the Turkic tribes froze to death after a hundred years of heavy snowstorms, and the Xue Yantuo Tiele tribes in Mobei were also rebelled against the Turks and fell to Li Tang.
Li Jing completed the feat of climbing over Yinshan Mountain in winter and completed the fatal blow to Jieli.
But at present, Li Chongjiu's crusade against the Turks and Jieli Turkic tribes, although they have been weakened, still have more than 100,000 cavalry combat effectiveness, and the Mobei tribes just maintain a neutral attitude, and although the current wind and snow are heavy, they have not reached the situation in history that almost exterminated most of the cattle, sheep and horses in the Turkic department.
Therefore, if Li Chongjiu sent elite cavalry to attack Jieli, the chance of victory was not great, and he had to lead the whole army across Yinshan, so that he could be sure of defeating Jieli in a battle. So he had to climb over Yin Mountain.
Historically, the famous Carthaginian general Hannibal led an army of mixed ethnicities and languages, and under the constant harassment of the mountain tribes, he completed an impossible task in the eyes of the Romans, and successfully crossed the Alps into northern Italy in winter.
Li Jing, what Hannibal can do, Li Chongjiu believes that he can also do it.
Li Chongjiu first eliminated the weak and left the strong, leaving the old and weak foot soldiers, as well as the 50,000 horses who were not well supplied, as well as the heavy baggage, all of them left in the white road to defend the rear road.
He led 150,000 troops to continue deep into Yinshan, and under the instigation of the Turks, many of the Black Turks north of Yinshan also continued to serve as guides, provide support, and even directly sent soldiers to join and become part of the expeditionary force.
Although the heavy snow closed the mountain and the guide zhì marched very slowly, after ten days of difficult trekking, Li Chongjiu finally arrived at a place 100 miles south of the Iron Mountain at the cost of nearly 20,000 soldiers suffering from frostbite.
And at this time, the light horse in front came, holding Lubu in his hand and said along the way: "Good news, the Turkic Ashina has surrendered to our army at the end!" ”
"Good news, the Turkic Ashina has surrendered to our army!"
The voice spread all the way, and the soldiers and soldiers of Zhao everywhere they passed responded by holding their weapons high and shouting ten thousand victories.
Li Chongjiu confirmed this good news from the letters sent to him by Xue Wanche and Ying Hefu, and the Turkic Ashina really surrendered. Ashina Momo was an important Turkic general, and as far as Li Chongjiu knew, there were only six or seven Turkic generals at the first level, and the surrender of the other party not only cut off one of Jieli's arms, but also shook the military heart of the Turks.
