The fire in July is the hottest time in Sanyuan.

Li Tang and the army of the Western Turks rushed together, set up a large camp opposite the Zhao army in Sanyuan County, and put on a situation of encirclement on three sides.

The Turkic Khan commander Ye Hu observed the Zhao army's military camp for a long time, and said to Li Shimin: "Emperor Tang, do you think there are flaws in the Great Zhao camp?" ”

Li Shimin said: "The Zhao army has been fighting for a long time, the soldiers are elite, and the camp is almost invulnerable. Maybe Khan saw a few doorways? ”

Tong Ye Hu smiled and said: "Emperor Tang State, your observation is too shallow, you Han people can't talk about war." ”

Hearing what Tong Yehu Khan said, Li Shimin's generals such as Cheng Biting Jin, Eldest Sun Wuji, Hou Junji and other generals all showed dissatisfaction.

Tong Yehu looked at the faces of the Tang generals and said with a smile: "We Turks speak upright, don't be surprised." This time, Ben Khan, led his army into Middle-earth, that is, to unite you to defeat Zhao, in the future, I will rule the grassland, Emperor Li Tang, you will rule the Central Plains, and the two sides will rule in harmony. ”

Hearing Tong Ye Hu say this, the face of the Tang Army general was slightly better. However, they also knew that it was okay to listen to the words of the Turks, but in front of them, Zhao was indeed the biggest enemy of the two families.

Li Shimin nodded and said: "This is also what we discussed at the beginning, Khan, you said that Zhao Jun has flaws, where is it?" ”

Tong Yehu tapped his chest with his fingers and said, "Emperor Tang, Zhao Jun's flaws are not outside, but inside, do you understand?" ”

Li Shimin saw Tong Ye Hu's movements, and smiled: "I understand. ”

An hour later, the Western Turkic cavalry marched out of the main camp.

The fierce Turkic cavalry came out in large numbers. Show your military appearance in front of the Zhao army camp. The Western Turkic cavalry were well-armed during the long battles with the Persians. A battle-hardened soldier.

Li Shimin and the general of the Tang Army had to admit this. This Tongye Protector Khan did have the confidence to be proud in front of them.

On the other hand, the camp of the Zhao army was not alive at all, with heavy trenches, rejecting horse guns placed in front of the big one, and a wooden double-layer wall erected there. Above the board wall, you can faintly see the soldiers erected, and in the distance is the tent of the military camp.

The Turkic cavalry split into a formation, and one man rode forward and came three hundred steps in front of the Zhao army's formation. In Chinese with a Turkic accent, he said loudly: "Listen to the soldiers of the Zhao State, your 200,000 troops in Hexi have been annihilated by our Khan, and no one has escaped. So you don't have to imagine that someone will come to save you. ”

The man spoke in Chinese and repeated it in Turkic, and the Turkic soldiers behind him all raised their guns and shouted in celebration.

The soldiers of the Tang Army on the side also cheered up the Turks, but there was no movement in the camp of the Zhao Army. This man nodded with satisfaction, this is what the Khan said about attacking the heart, breaking the military spirit of Zhao Guo's soldiers. So what could be more demoralizing than going deep into the enemy country and becoming a lone soldier.

At this time, Zhao Ying on the opposite side also moved, behind the board wall. One said in Turkic dialect: "Listen to the Turkic barbarians, our majesty said that the Western Route Army is safe and sound." You are talking nonsense and trying to shake the hearts of our military. It's delusional. You khans were originally subordinates of the Zhao State, but you have bad intentions. My Majesty has long had the intention of extinction, but the road is too far, and it is difficult to do it for a while. At present, you will not only send it to the door, but also save him from running around, and ask you Khan to wash your neck and wait for slaughter! ”

The Turkic envoy was furious when he heard this: "A bunch of nonsense, even if you dare to provoke my most noble khan, the soldiers of the Zhao State, don't mention the mediocre emperor anymore, even the soldiers died in the wilderness, what is the use of such an emperor, our Khan said, as long as the emperor of the Zhao State is presented, regardless of life or death, the reward is tens of thousands of gold and silk, and the slaves are ten thousand, and a country is given a fief!" ”

After speaking, the other party couldn't help but triumph and said, "What are you waiting for such a gift?" He expected that such a reward would be enough to shake the morale of Zhao Guo's army.

A long laugh came from the Zhao Jun camp, and the other party replied: "Our Majesty also said, if anyone of you presents the head of the Tongye Hu Khan, reward a donkey and a cloth!" ”

After the other party spoke in Turkic and then in Chinese, there was a burst of laughter from the soldiers of the Zhao army behind the wall, while the Turkic cavalry in front of them were full of annoyance.

The Turkic generals on the left and right were furious when they saw the Khan being humiliated, but when it came to the ability to quarrel, where were these upright Turks one-ten-thousandth of the Han Chinese.

Tong Yehu listened to it on the side, but he didn't look angry at all, but when he heard the laughter of the soldiers of the Zhao army, his face was pale. He said to the left and right: "If it is really a warrior who can destroy Jieli, he is not afraid of Ben Khan's intimidation, such an opponent is the opponent that Ben Khan wants to fight." ”

Hou Junji, the general of the Tang Army on the side, listened to it, showed a mocking look, and was about to say a few words unceremoniously, but he glanced at Li Shimin and organized Hou Junji to continue.

Li Shimin said politely: "I have already used the strategy of attacking the heart, but the enemy's main general is good at governing the army, and it is not easy for us to defeat them with this, and the Khan has other strategies to break the enemy, otherwise we can only hold on with the Zhao army." ”

Tong Yehu waved his hand and said: "If the stalemate continues, it is not good for us, the weather in the Central Plains is too hot, and the cavalry under my command can't stand it, if it goes on like this, half of my war horses will die in the autumn, so we must fight, aren't we more men and horses than them?" ”

Li Shimin said: "Khan, when I fought in the past, what I was best at was to lure others to attack my strong position, and then defend and counterattack. And our opponents are so cunning, they seem to want to use such a strategy, aren't you worried? Besides, the Western Route Army of Zhao State did not suffer a heavy blow in fact. ”

Tong Ye Hu shook his head and said, "Don't worry, isn't their Western Route Army chasing after you and me?" There's no room for them to turn over. ”

Speaking of this, Tong Ye Hu pointed to the Zhao State military camp and said: "There is no method of war that never changes, and it is also invincible, do you know?" We dealt with the Persians in the Western Regions, the stupid Persians, who also had strong walls and what they thought were strong defenses, but they were slowly wiped out by us in the defense, and in the end all the men were killed, and the women and children became our slaves. Our Turkic tactics are always only offensive, and defense is always a cowardly strategy. ”

"Look at the reed land on the right side of the Zhao army, they are taking water from Guò here, Ben Khan guesses that they will have an ambush in the reeds, but Ben Khan will do it!"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Tong Ye Hu Khan, I will lead my subordinates to fully cooperate with you." ”

Tong Ye Hu listened to it and said with a smile: "Okay, let this be the burial place of Zhao Jun!" (To be continued......)
