Chapter 827: Under the City of Taiyuan

"Li Xin?" Jieli Khan shouted loudly: "I didn't expect you and I to meet here today. ”

"Haha, Jieli Khan, I didn't expect it!" Li Xin was about to leave here, but he didn't expect Jieli Khan to stop him, and he slowly moved forward at the moment and said loudly: "What, you also want to herd horses in the Central Plains?" ”

"The Central Plains is picturesque, and the virtuous live in it, so I'll take a look." Jieli Khan said loudly: "You and Li Shimin have been competing for the world for several years, but you haven't decided a winner yet, how about it?" This kind of world is not something you can get, let it go! My Turkic army of one million can go south, and you can't resist it. Jieli Khan rode on his horse, looked very leisurely, raised his whip and pointed at Li Xin and said loudly.

"The climate of the Central Plains is different from that of the grasslands, Khan, I think it is better for you to leave, otherwise, what awaits the Khan will be the end of extermination, and I will definitely destroy your Turkic race." Li Xin shouted loudly.

Jieli Khan's face was gloomy, and there was a trace of horror in his eyes, what kind of character Li Xin was, he knew that he said that it was really possible to exterminate the clan. But at this point, Jieli Khan would not give up such an opportunity.

"Li Xin, you don't have to be proud, today I will lead an army of 150,000, and I will hunt with you." Jieli Khan pointed to the distance and said, "Look, Li Xin, you claim to be the emperor of the Central Plains, but don't you Central Plains people invite us to come as well?" The north of Taiyuan is already the place where our Turks graze horses, and the Han people there will become our slaves, men herd horses and sheep for our Turks, and women give birth to children for us, Li Xin! Li Xin, what can you do with us? ”

"Ahead of you, Jieli Khan?" More than a thousand cavalry flew in the distance, and the leader was elegant. He didn't look at Li Xin, and soon rushed to Jieli Khan's side, arching his hand and saying, "Li Ji has seen Khan." ”

"General Li, I have admired the name for a long time. This time, you and I will join forces to drive Li Xin out of Chang'an. Jieli Khan raised his whip and pointed at Li Xin and said, "General Li, rest assured, Li Xin is a fierce tiger, and there is no chance of resistance in front of us Turks." ”

"That's nature." Li Ji glanced at Li Xin, his face was calm, and he couldn't see any joy or anger, as if he was looking at an ordinary person.

"Xu Shiji, it's okay if you change your name. But I didn't expect you to even change your master. Li Xin sighed and said loudly: "I thought you were an opponent, but now it seems that you are nothing more than that." ”

"Li Xin, let's see on the battlefield!" Li Ji said loudly: "The winner, the prince, the loser, Kou, since ancient times, if you win, I naturally have nothing to say." If you fail, then you're a coward. In the future, in the history books, it will become a stench for thousands of years. ”

"Haha, you wait! It won't be me who will be left behind for 10,000 years. You and Li Shimin colluded with the Turks and Goguryeo, and history will remember you. Walk. Li Xin laughed, turned his horse's head violently, and soon disappeared into the eyes of Jieli Khan.

"Li Xin is still a powerful person like he was back then!" Jieli Khan commanded the army to march slowly. Immediately after, looking at the Turkic vanguard soldiers who were killed by Li Xin along the way, he said with some sighs.

"It's a pity, such a person who likes to venture into enemy territory should have a good idea. Kill it, and the enemy will be leaderless, making it much easier to deal with. Li Ji was also surprised, there were Turkic corpses all along the way, and as for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, there were no soldiers, obviously all of them were taken back. He could see that some of the Turkic soldiers were almost killed with a single blow, which showed the strength of the enemy.

Jieli Khan glanced at Li Ji with disdain, but a general said such a thing, which showed that he was already full of fear of the enemy, and the real warrior should face the war head-on, not take this method.

"General Li, is our battalion ready? Is it in the city of Taiyuan? Qi Qi He Li said loudly.

"Hehe, if we are all in Taiyuan City, Li Xin will surround Taiyuan City, which is very unfavorable to us, so your camp is outside the city, at the south gate, in this way, we can form a horn momentum and defend Li Xin together, the Khan cavalry is numerous, and it is not of much help in defending the city, but in the field, you can give full play to the power of the Turkic iron cavalry. What does the Khan think? "Li Ji didn't put the Turks into the city, he wasn't stupid enough to that extent, the Turks were hungry wolves, and when they entered Taiyuan City, they didn't know what would happen!

He Lizhen was about to get angry, but he was glared at by Jieli Khan, and quickly retreated, Jieli Khan nodded and said: "General Li rest assured, as long as we are supplied with food and grass, Li Xin's 150,000 army will be slaughtered by our iron cavalry like sheep." ”

"Khan, Li Xin is best at trickery, he has a weapon in his hand, which can make a loud noise, and when the two sides are fighting, it will alarm the war horse, which is not good for the battle situation, Khan should be careful." Li Ji thought of the previous information description and hurriedly explained.

"Our war horses have been taken care of by us since we were children, and sometimes, we still sleep with them, no matter what kind of fierce horses, as long as the rider controls them well, no noise will alarm them." Jieli Khan said unconcernedly. When it comes to cavalry, the Turks claim to be the best in the world, whether it is Li Xin's Xiliang iron cavalry or Li Shimin's Xuanjia iron cavalry, Jieli Khan did not pay attention to it.

"That's very good." Li Ji didn't say anything more.

In the military camp of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xin took off his armor, put on a regular uniform, and greeted everyone and said: "Shixin, you saw the Turks today, how do you feel about the Turkic soldiers?" ”

"It's amazing." Luo Shixin was silent for a while, and said: "Maybe it's because of the vanguard and sentinel, their soldiers look very fierce, and the elite level doesn't care about our Tang army. ”

"Your Majesty, it must be because of the forward sentinels, otherwise, the Turks would have swept across the desert long ago, and there would be no such thing as the Western Turks." Wei Chigong said without thinking.

"The Turks are menacing, they will definitely not be stationed inside the city, that is, outside the city." Li Xin said to Shen Qianqiu: "Qianqiu, you take someone to see how their camp is doing, whether it is in the position we set." Song He, you go together. ”

"Yes." Shen Qianqiu knew that he couldn't get the fireworks to watch tonight, so he immediately went out of the big tent with Song He.

"Send a decree to the Khan of the Wild Leaf Protector and Ashina Ni, and let them send troops to the east to regain their own land." Li Xin thought about it and decided to do it to the Turks,

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Western Turks are making a lot of trouble, and the relationship between the Khan and Ashina is very tense, and the minister thinks that I am afraid that the Western Turks will not send troops." Jing Jing said.

"Let Ashina Yun go." Li Xin frowned, his disgust with the Yehu Khan deepened, although he let Ashina Yun enter the palace, the Yehu Khan was not grateful to himself, and even often embarrassed the caravans of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, although there was no danger to the lives of the merchants now, but they imposed heavy taxes, which caused heavy losses to the Tang merchants along the way, even those merchants in the Western Regions could not stand the cruelty of the Yehu Khan. Whether it is the Wude Hall or the Wuying Palace, this has been reflected, but now Li Xin's focus is not on it, so he can only endure it for the time being.

"Yes." He nodded respectfully, and did not mention it as he drafted the decree on the side.

"Let Ashina Ni come to Taiyuan to see me, I want to have a good chat with him, if he is loyal to me, I don't mind letting him be the Khan of the Western Turks." Li Xin said very calmly. In the face of national interests, personal feelings are nothing at all, Ashina Li, a cheap brother-in-law, obviously has no good impression of his brother-in-law, how can Li Xin help this white-eyed wolf?

"Yes." Jing Jing's heart moved, this is Li Xin's layout in the Western Turks, the first unlucky one is Ashina Li, poor baby, but he is bold and offended the Son of Heaven, even if it is a brother-in-law, it is not easy to do it.

"Your Majesty, the Turks are really camping in the south of the city, and Li Ji's kid still hasn't let the Turks enter Taiyuan. It is also preparing to form a momentum of wrestling. Shen Qianqiu entered the big tent at this time and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is like a god, and has set up a big camp in the south of the city. ”

"Very well, so we can prepare." Li Xin said with a smile: "We are located in the south of the city, and Li Jiming just wants to use the Turkic cavalry to defeat us. However, he did not know the layout of the southern part of the city, although the terrain was vast, but there were many lakes, and if some trenches were dug in the middle of these lakes, it would be enough to block the speed of the Turkic attack. We got out of the way, piled mounds of earth around it, and set up our unconscionable cannons, which roared enough to send the Turks back to their homeland when the Turks attacked. ”

"Your Majesty." The generals nodded one after another, when they set up the camp, some people suggested that there was more water in the south of the city, and some terrain was separated by lakes, which was not conducive to the battle of the large army, and now I knew that Li Xin had already calculated, but he was not dealing with Li Ji, but the Turks.

Thinking about it, the Turkic cavalry is all over the mountains, in this place of Taiyuan, unless there is the same number of cavalry, otherwise it is really difficult to deal with, but now it is different, if the army is used to dig two trenches here, it stretches for several miles, and the time spent is relatively short, but it can play a great role, at least it can curb the attack speed of the Turkic cavalry, so that the Turks lose the advantage of cavalry.

"Order the army to go out at once and dig trenches." Li Xin said with a smile: "I will give a big gift to the Turks in the evening, but the other party is a khan, and I can't be stingy!" ”

The generals couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. (To be continued.) )
