Chapter 1096: I'm going to hit Grass Valley

Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji came to Li Shimin's big tent together, at this time Li Shimin had just finished eating, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he stretched out his hand and said, "Sit down, do you have any ideas?" ”

"Your Majesty, now that the Turks are holding on to Issyk-Kul, it is really not a good way to attack it so strongly. The minister felt that it was better to withdraw the troops first and look for another opportunity! The eldest grandson Wuji said slowly, "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, and it is not appropriate to leave Chang'an for a long time, after all, it is better to return to Chang'an first, leave a general to garrison Khan Futu City, and set up a pass in Xiting Gorge, as long as we wait patiently, we will definitely have a chance to take Issyk-K." ”

After the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, Fang Xuanling also nodded. In fact, even if the eldest grandson Wuji doesn't say it, Li Shimin has already decided to withdraw his troops, but he still needs a reason.

On May 26, the entire Tang army retreated, and the Turks did not dare to chase it out. In Khan Futu City, after some discussion, Li Shimin finally decided to let Li Ji sit in Khan Futu City, and at the same time, Fang Yiai was stationed in Xiting Gorge and was responsible for the construction of the pass.

Although Datang did not take Issyk-K, if he was able to capture Xiting Canyon, it would already be a threat to the Western Regions. As long as you are not stupid, you know what the Xiting Gorge means to the Turks, from now on the Turks will be trapped in the northwest, if the Tang Dynasty does not make stupid mistakes, the Turks will not want to fight the grass valley like before, not only that, but they also have to worry about being beaten by the Han people every day. If there were a different person guarding the Xiting Gorge, then maybe the Turks wouldn't have to worry too much. But in the face of the love of the house, you can't help but guard against it.

In Fangyiai, Xiting Canyon is a natural good place. Build a fortress here, and the Turks will attack it with all their might. It doesn't always work to take it down. Xiting Canyon this place is lacking in everything is not lack of stones, the house relics love people to open the mountain to blow up the stone, and get a lot of cement and lime from the rear, only a month of the Dragon and Tiger Guard soldiers in the Xiting Canyon on the side of the city wall to build a six-zhang high city wall, this city wall is built in the north of the Xiting Canyon half a mile. Fang Yiai is not simply a city wall, a house and a horse farm are built behind it, in short, he wants to turn Xiting Canyon into a complete military fortress.

Late June. Fang Yiai was called by Li Ji to the Khan Futu City, and as soon as they met, Li Ji asked with a smile, "Fang Jun." You kid made such a big move, aren't you afraid that the Turks will run to you to make trouble? ”

"Hehe, do they dare? If they dare to come out with that turtle shell, the younger generation will not be able to ask for it! "Fang Yiai is not afraid of the Turks running out of Issyk-Kul, and now he has 60,000 elite cavalry. Even if you fight the Turks against the Issyk-Kul Plain, you will not suffer. In other words, the love of the house can be consumed, but the Turks cannot afford it, once the loss is too heavy. Issyk-Kul is not easy to keep.

"You kid, Dahal has been very honest in Kobdo recently, and there has been no movement in the direction of Ubusu, it is estimated that this Turk wants to do something to your Xiting Canyon, you have to be more careful, if you encounter suffering, send a message as soon as possible, and you will let Su Lie's men and horses support you!"

"Don't worry, the last general won't succeed!" Fang Yiai felt that Li Ji was completely blind and worried, someone in his room had already been pitted by Hou Junji once, how could he be stunned.

The time quickly entered July, and how hot it was on the Issyk-Kul plain in July is simply indescribable, and by noon the ground felt like it had been roasted with fire. Fortunately, the construction of the entire Xiting Canyon has been completed halfway, and if there is no place to hide, there will be problems with the sun. In just over a month, Wanrou's delicate skin has also turned black, and Luo Nuxia is even more covered with a light veil every day, if it weren't for Fang Yiai's love to stay here, she would have run back to Khan Futu City to rest.

In Issyk-Kul, the Khan of Illu coughed incessantly, and he had not stopped coughing since the Battle of Issyk-Kul. To tell the truth, Lu Khan was really worried, and after a long time, he felt that he had a lot more gray hair.

Goleanhan, Helu, Wulituo and other Turkic bigwigs all sat next to him and listened, "Everyone, what the Han people are going to do, everyone knows that if the Han people build the Xiting Gorge Fortress, my Turks will be trapped and die here!" ”

"Khan, tell me, what should I do?" Everyone also understood what Lu Khan meant, and now that he is a great enemy, it would be a bit silly to be entangled in the grievances between the tribes.

Lulu Khan looked at Helu deeply, he hoped that Helu could abandon his prejudices, if Helu still thought about his own selfish interests at this time, then the Turks would really be hopeless.

"Wulituo, you go and give an order, the whole army will assemble tonight and attack the Xiting Gorge for Ben Khan, even if you can't recapture the Xiting Canyon, you will destroy the wall built by the Han people for Ben Khan!"

"Yes!" Wu Li did not dare to slack off, maybe the Han people would be aware of it, but the Turks had no choice, and this battle had to be fought. If the Han people built the fortress of Xiting Gorge, it would be too great a blow to the Turkic warriors.

Issyk-Kul Plain at night, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, Wulituo, Helu and others led nearly 60,000 troops out of the city slowly, this is a mixed infantry and cavalry troops, it is said that only cavalry is the best choice at this time, how can the losses in the battle of Alxa be too great, and the Dulu Khan can no longer make up so many cavalry troops. Of course, it is also possible to transfer from the Kobdo Pass, but that would be tantamount to self-defeating. Now that the Xiting Gorge has been lost, if Kobdo is lost again, then the Turks will be refugees in the city, and they will be slaughtered.

When the Turks marched to five miles north of the Xiting Gorge, they were finally met with resistance from the Tang army. This is a light cavalry dominated by crossbowmen, they do not clash head-on with the Turks, but only use crossbow arrows to harass on the flanks, although the Turks casualties are not large, but the face of Helu is very ugly, because he thinks that the Han are playing with them, obviously knowing, but do not fight a decisive battle as soon as possible, but have to use light cavalry to disgust people.

With the light cavalry accompanied, the marching speed of the Turks dropped a lot, and Wu Lituo felt that something was wrong, seeing that he was about to reach the fortress of Xiting Gorge, why hadn't most of the Han people appeared yet?

It didn't take long. A spy relieved Wu Lituo's doubts, "It's not good." The Han Han went towards Issyk-Kul, due to the darkness of the day. I can't tell how many of them there are, but visually, it should be no less than 30,000 people! ”

As soon as they heard the news, Wu Lituo, He Lu and the others all showed a look of helplessness, such cunning Han people, Turkic warriors want to bring down the Xiting Gorge Fortress, and the Han people are good. Run straight to Issyk-Kul toss. Everyone clearly knows which is more important, Xiting Canyon Fortress or Issyk-Kul, even if the Turkic warriors trample the Xiting Canyon Fortress, the Han people can still rely on the Xiting Canyon for defense, but what about Issyk-Kul? If Issyk-Kul is lost. To the south of the Sanmi Mountain is a flat river.

Of course, the Turks can take Xiting Canyon all the way, the question is whether they can take it, with these 60,000 people, the Han people only need 10,000 people to guard Xiting Canyon. It was enough for the Turkic warriors to drink a pot.

There was almost no hesitation, Ulituo turned the horse's head directly, "The whole army listens to the order, the rear army becomes the front army, and return to aid Issyk-Keh at full speed!" "Ulituo is quite helpless. The Han people sang well to save Zhao from Wei this time, and that Fang Yiai saw the fate of the Turks.

When the Turks came, it was smooth sailing, but if they wanted to retreat, it was not so easy, along the way the dragon and tiger guard light cavalry accompanied all the way, and a lot of heavy cavalry appeared out of nowhere on the way, according to the Turks' rear team is a mess. At first, the Turks were able to deal with it effectively, but as the front and rear divisions became farther and farther apart, the Turks became chaotic.

Finally returned to Issyk-Kul, Ulituo and the others met Fang Yiai who was turning back, there is a way that the enemy is very red when they see each other, and when the two parties meet, they will inevitably have to fight again. Compared with the heavy cavalry of the Tang Army, the Turks lacked a countermeasure, and were soon torn open by the heavy cavalry of the Tang Army, and then the Dragon and Tiger Guard cavalry slashed and killed the Turkic rebels. It seems that the Turks are a little vulnerable, but this is also due to the fact that the Turks have not yet figured out the tactics of the Tang army.

After waiting for Ulituo and others to lead the army back to Issyk-Kul, counting the number of people, Helu almost spat out blood, and in just two hours, he lost more than 5,000 warriors. Compared to an army of more than 60,000 people, the loss of 5,000 people is really not too much, the problem is that this is not a big war. Helu finally saw the ability of the Han people, the two armies were not fighting, especially the Tang army, which flashed after a charge, and it seemed that there were not many Turkic warriors who died, but once it was accumulated, this number was really distressing.

After this night, the Dulu Khan was also much more honest, and he lost 5,000 lives in a blind toss, and if he came back a few times, the Turkic warriors would not have to fill it in.

Compared with Lu Khan, the hatred in Golingham's heart is even stronger, Fang Yi loves that Han man but killed his brother, wife and children, if this revenge is not avenged, he will not be able to raise his head in this life.

In mid-July, the Dulu Khan returned to the Khan's court of Sammi Mountain, and when he left, he entrusted Issyk-Kul to Golinghan and Heru. Under normal circumstances, it would be the safest way for the Khan to do this, Heru was resourceful, Golingham was brave and good at fighting, and the center was commendable, and with these two people, there would be no problem in Issyk-K. The most important thing is that the Dulu Khan does not fully trust Helu, and Liugolinghan is here, which can be regarded as watching Helu.

In August, the construction of the Xiting Gorge Fortress was finally completed, and with the construction of the fortress, the soldiers were able to live in their rooms and rest. Originally, Naru lived in Khan Futu City, but as soon as the fortress was built, he moved over. According to the meaning of Fang Yiai, all the women returned to Khan Futu City, but his prestige was really not good, and none of the three women were obedient.

Speaking of which, the Issyk-Kul Plain is very beautiful, and it doesn't look like the Northwest Valley at all. In Issyk-Kul, the abundance is cantaloupe and grapes, during this time Fang Yiai sent people out to fight the grass valley, he can make the Turks miserable in this grass valley, the planted grapes and cantaloupe were all robbed into the Xiting Canyon Fortress by Fang Ergongzi, the most annoying thing is that Fang Ergongzi also made a market behind the Xiting Canyon Fortress, selling the looted things cheaply. There is never a shortage of people in this world to take advantage, let alone such a big bargain, like the big cannibals, Tocharians, and Wusun people have all run away to do business, and in just half a month, this small market has become popular.

Helu almost fainted, Fang Lao'er, that dog Han is really angry, but Helu has no tricks at all, he can't bring all the people on the Issyk-Kul Plain close to the Issyk-Kul city, even if he has that mind, Issyk-Kul can't accommodate so many people.

Nalu has been in the Western Regions for a long time, and she has long been accustomed to this kind of trick of the jungle, but she always feels that her husband is too simple, and she doesn't consider Datang's face at all, and the things she grabbed are sold cheaply on the spot, and all the money from the sale is used to upgrade the soldiers' food. Don't they all say that Datang is a state of etiquette, but this gentleman is more thorough than cannibalism when he starts business.

In Khan Futu City, Li Ji can only turn a blind eye to Fang Ergongzi's approach, because Li Ji knows the doorway very well, and eighty percent of the money for doing business has been distributed to His Majesty, besides, he Li Ji has not made any less benefits, so he will be tossed by Fang Erlang.
