Chapter 933: Siege Wei to save Zhao
Everyone in the big tent has dispersed, the army is about to go to the battle, these people's soldiers and horses will gather together, prepare a large amount of grain and grass and cattle and sheep, and prepare to go with the army, this is a battle related to the victory or defeat of the Central Plains and the grassland, victory, the grassland can enter the Central Plains, if it fails, I am afraid that the Turks will return to the previous situation of submitting to the Central Plains Dynasty.
"Tuli, you stay. It's been a long time since you and I spoke. Tuli Khan was about to leave, and there was a low voice from behind him, and Tuli Khan's face changed, and finally he stayed. Just last year, there were rumors that Jieli Khan was ready to do it to himself, but in fact, Jieli Khan did not do it, and there was not even a sign of mobilization. It made Tuli Khan a little nervous, and he didn't know why Jieli Khan would find himself now.
"Great Khan." Tuli sat down honestly. He is also a khan, and he is also the khan of the east, but in the face of strength, he is not enough to see this khan at all. Only he knows what is going on below, the tribe is getting fewer and fewer, in order to maintain his military superiority, Tuli can be said to be reckless in the territory, and unlike Jieli Khan, his own strength is indeed insufficient.
"Tuli, you and my uncle and nephew haven't spoken like this for a long time, we are all members of the Ashina family, and the position of this khan in the future will also be yours." Jieli Khan looked at Tuli and said very calmly: "It's just that our biggest enemy in front of us is not ourselves, but Li Xin, Li Xin is a wolf with ambition, if he defeats me, he will definitely not let you go." ”
"Great Khan." Tuli was stunned by Jieli Khan's words, when was Jieli Khan going to set himself up as a prince. If this is such a good thing, where do you need to do it against Jieli Khan, and when he dies, is this Khan's position not his own?
"Five days later, the army will go on the march, and I will confirm in front of the officers and soldiers of the three armies that after my death, you will be the supreme khan of my steppe." A golden light flashed in the Khan's eyes. He looked at the Turki Khan and said, "If I die in the Central Plains, you will lead my Turks to continue to oppose Li Xin." Li Xin is ambitious, he wants to conquer the steppe, he wants to get more land, more cattle and sheep for the people of the Central Plains, he wants us Turks to be his slaves for generations, build roads for him, and dig mountains and stones for him. Turkish, Li Xin is even more hateful than the previous emperors of the Central Plains, he will not let go of any of us Turks, and you are the same. ”
"Great Khan. The end will be guilty. When the Tuli Khan heard this, his heart was so excited that he fell to his knees. He didn't see the gloom in Jieli Khan's eyes, and thought that in the face of Li Xin, a powerful enemy, Jieli Khan was ready to give up his personal grievances and take the revival of the Ashina family as his first priority.
"Tuli, even if Li Xin doesn't trade with you, he can still get a large number of war horses from Ashina, not to mention the hardships of the herdsmen in your territory. There is no way to trade with Li Xin, I understand your hardship. When the battle is over, I'll give you better pasture. More ministry. Jieli Khan stepped forward to help Tuli up and said with relief: "You and I are both descendants of the Ashina family, so we should be united, only in this way." in order to defeat Li Xin, a strong enemy. ”
"Listen to the Khan." Tuli was moved by Jieli Khan's heart-to-heart words, and quickly got up with his head down.
"This time we played against Li Xin, and we didn't actually have the belief that we would win. For those tribes, I can't speak out. Jieli Khan said in a low voice: "Last winter, most of the tribes were affected, and the tooth tent was spent too much, so we couldn't hold on for long. ”
"Ahh How can this be good. Tuli Khan's face changed, and he said nervously: "Great Khan, what do you want Tuli to do, just give orders." For the sake of the Ashina family, Tuli did not hesitate to break his bones. ”
"The Han people have a saying called encircling Wei to save Zhao, that is, one side is being attacked by the enemy, and the reinforcements do not save their allies, but instead attack the enemy's vital points to achieve the purpose of forcing the enemy to retreat." Jieli Khan said: "Li Xin is very good at using troops, he knows that if he sends infantry to the grassland, it will be to die, and the loss is very large, so there are 300,000 cavalry, we will set the battlefield in Dingxiang, Li Jing's soldiers and horses must gather in Dingxiang." According to what I know about Li Xin, this is a big battle related to the fortunes of the country, and Li Xin will definitely appear on the front line, or, in this place. Jieli Khan pointed to a place on the map.
"Taiyuan." Tuli Khan finally knew what Jieli Khan had left him for, that is, he wanted to make a raid on Taiyuan. It's just that this matter is too shocking, I'm afraid no one will think of it, thinking of this, he glanced at Jieli Khan, but saw Jieli Khan's face was calm, obviously he had already thought of this matter, but did he need to do it?
"Li Xin is actually an adventurer, the front-line general is fighting, how can he, the emperor, be left behind, according to my guess, he must be in Taiyuan, and the grain and grass of the Northern Expedition army are also in Taiyuan. Tuli, your task is to take Taiyuan, no matter what method you use, it is to burn these grains and grass, of course, it is almost impossible to kill Li Xin, and the soldiers and horses around him are at most thirty or fifty thousand people. Jieli Khan looked at Tuli and said, "This is the only chance to win, and we can't give it up like this." ”
"Don't worry, the last general will do it immediately, command the army to raid Taiyuan, and will definitely force Li Jing to retreat." Tuli Khan said loudly.
"Good, good." Jieli Khan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Don't worry, my soldiers and horses will definitely drag Li Jing's army and prevent him from retreating to Taiyuan, your task is to break through Taiyuan City, even if you can't break it, you can't let them have half a grain of grain to transport away from Taiyuan." ”
"The Admiral knows." Tuli Khan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, although he had a lot of soldiers and horses, but he also had to defend the grassland, so he could only lead a part of the soldiers and horses to go, what kind of city Taiyuan City is for the time being, there is a place where Li Xin is, if you want to break through Taiyuan City, I don't know how much effort it takes. But if it was just used for siege and did not allow the grain from Taiyuan City to be transported to Dingxiang, Tuli Khan was still sure.
"Very good, I'm waiting for your good news." At last he breathed a sigh of relief, and he was afraid that the Khan would not agree to his proposal. Although the men and horses around Tuli were almost divided by him, but tens of thousands of troops were still loyal to Tuli, and he wanted to use Tuli's steel knife to deal with Li Xin, as long as he blocked the grain and grass of Li Jing's army for ten days, he was confident that he would win this victory, as for what would happen to Tuli who fell into Taiyuan, it was no longer in his consideration.
