318. The inside should be combined with the outside

When Jingwen came to the bottom of Dingxiang City with the Snow Shame Army, someone immediately came. They were Duan Ye Duwei of Xinzhou Zhichong Prefecture, and the envoy to Turkic who succeeded Jingwen. And this envoy to the Turks seems to have gotten the news a long time ago and knew that the Tang Dynasty and the Turks were going to war, so they withdrew in time. And that Duan Yedu Lieutenant came to help, thinking that your Tang Dynasty was going to attack the Turks, and Xinzhou here was the first line, so he should be able to get some help in intelligence materials.

And Jingwen still has an impression of this industry. That is, this Duan Ye was originally fighting one-on-one with the enemy on the battlefield, but secretly put a secret weapon. This kind of insidious and cunning general is unguardable! And the new envoy to the Turks was a man named Qiao Shiwang, and Jing Wen didn't have much impression of this man in his twenties. However, since he was his successor at that time, Jingwen still had a relationship with him.

"Jingwen Festival envoy, it's been a long time!" Qiao Shiwang said first.

And Jingwen also took the initiative to salute and said, "Qiao Shiwang, it would be great if you came out in time." If the Turks have done something to you, then we are afraid that we will be guilty of greatness. ”

Qiao Shiwang said very confidently: "The Turks can't trap me. When I was serving as the envoy to the Turks, I also took the opportunity to send the emperor's canonization to Xue Yantuo behind the Turks. ”

"Yo, I really didn't expect you to be a master of underground work!" Jingwen said in surprise.

Jingwen didn't expect that this good-looking Qiao Shiwang was actually a master of secret work, and unknowingly helped Datang bring in an important military ally, and an ally who could contain a large number of Turkic troops. And Jingwen finally knew why the emperor asked Qiao Shiwang to take over his position, it turned out that it was because Emperor Li Shimin had already had the idea of the Northern Expedition to the Turks, so he asked Qiao Shiwang to come over to collect information! No wonder, many people say that in every war, there are many invisible heroes fighting. That's what I'm talking about!

And soon, everyone began to hold a military meeting, and Duan Ye and this Qiao Shiwang also came over to attend the meeting.

"Do you have any ways to break the enemy?" Jingwen asked first.

"It's simple, just blow a big gap in the wall with a missile. Then I'll just take the Mo Sword Soldier and kill it! Jiang Xiong said directly.

Everyone was speechless for a while, this Jiang Xiong was really powerful, and he used brute force to solve it. However, this is a good idea, directly blow up a gap with a missile, then the next 40,000 troops will pour into it together, then I am afraid that the Turks will not be able to stop it. Once inside the city. Street fighting, that's the preserve of the infantry, the Turkic cavalry is not of much use. Although this is the roughest, it is also the best way to attack the city under the current conditions.

However, as the director of the Military Affairs Department, Feng Yong, who assumed the responsibility of chief of staff, took the initiative to say: "No! This scheme does not work! Although it will not be difficult for us to storm the city, our main goal is to capture the Turkic Jieli Khan, if the old boy escapes. Then it won't make much sense for us to attack the city. Although we directly bombed it with missiles, it was impossible for us to drop all 40,000 troops into the city walls at once, so we were afraid that we would not be able to stop this old boy from escaping. Once this old boy is gone, we have at least ninety percent of the credit. So. This plan is not too rigorous! ”

After hearing this plan, everyone realized that it was important to capture the Khan of Jieli, and the siege was secondary.

"Can I say a few words?" Qiao Shiwang said.

"Say it! Here, you can speak freely. Say what you have to say! Jingwen said.

Qiao Shiwang said; "Actually, you ignore that in Dingxiang City, another force can fight for it!"

"Oh? Who? They asked.

Qiao Shiwang explained: "According to my observations in this year or so. The officials of the Sui Dynasty who came to Dingxiang City with Empress Xiao of the Sui Dynasty actually didn't want to fight anymore. They can't wait to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty, and then they can go to the new court again to become officials. And even Queen Xiao didn't want to fight, because Queen Xiao was already old, and she didn't have any ambitions, she just wanted to have a peaceful birthday in the second half of her life. But they were all kidnapped by the Turks and Princess Yicheng. If you can send a capable general to find Empress Xiao with a handwritten letter from the envoy of Jingwen Jiedu, then maybe you can say that they will fight back. This has a 70% chance of success, and this is my observation. And usually, although the power in Empress Xiao's hands is nothing to the Turks, but once they face our siege now, this force will give the Turks a stab in the back within the Turks, and I am afraid that they will die. When the time comes, they can lead people to capture Jieli, and we will take the opportunity to attack the city to cover and create chaos, so that the possibility of capturing Jieli is much greater. ”

"What a strategy to attack inside and outside, and to cooperate with the inside and outside!" Feng Yong said excitedly.

Everyone recognized Qiao Shiwang's plan, because it was very good. Because if you are stabbed in the back by your own people when you are fighting against the enemy in the front, this will hurt you more than the enemy in the front. If this queen can help in the city with a force after his death, then the possibility of seizing Jieli is very high. At that time, the first credit of the Northern Expedition to the Turks, I am afraid it will be the shameful army. Everyone seems to see that the credit is right in front of them, and that's called an excitement.

But who wants to go? The current Dingxiang City, but the Turks are nervous, it is simply a Longtan tiger's den! Who wants to venture in and contact Empress Xiao? Moreover, we must also have a certain degree of adaptability, because we don't know what Queen Xiao will think. This is all our speculation, and if we don't deal with it well, I'm afraid there will be problems. Jingwen said.

Qiao Shiwang immediately stood up and said, "I'm willing to go!" I have been an envoy for more than a year, and I know Empress Xiao's inner thoughts very well, so I am willing to go. ”

"Qiao Shiwang, didn't you just come out?" Jingwen asked.

Qiao Shiwang also said: "I am dissatisfied with everyone, I am in love with the eldest princess of Luling, but the emperor sent me to collect intelligence from the Turks. The emperor said that only when the Turks perished could I marry the eldest princess of Luling. Therefore, I wish that the Turks would die as soon as possible. ”

Jingwen immediately arched his hand and said: "Oh, I really didn't expect that we actually have a future horse master here, or the emperor's brother-in-law!" Congratulations, I'm afraid you'll be able to marry the princess next year! ”

And at this time, Duan Ye also took the initiative to say: "I was born as a snitch, and I joined the army in my previous life, and I was confiscated because of my crimes, but I have my current achievements." However, now that I am employed, I am very good at doing this kind of work of flying eaves and walls, and I am willing to protect Mr. Qiao Shiwang to go in! ”

"With the protection of Duan Duan, I am more confident!" Qiao Shiwang also said.

Jingwen immediately made a decision and said: "In this case, you take my handwritten letter and sneak into the city to find Queen Xiao, and we will strive to find an internal and external cooperation." (To be continued......)
