Just when the Tang army was defeated, shrinking its forces, and guarding the defense line around Suliang, Hu Nuguo suddenly sent a letter of state to the Tang Dynasty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, the issuance of letters of state is a common trick of the warring parties in the war, most of them are lions open their mouths and put forward certain conditions, as a bargaining chip for the withdrawal of troops, and some conditions are known to be impossible to achieve, but they want to write out disgusting opponents and carry out mental suppression.

After this letter of state arrived at the court of the Tang Kingdom, the whole court exploded, because the content of the letter was too insulting.

Hu Nu put forward a sky-high price of asking for items, including gold, silver, jewelry, cattle, sheep and horses, grain, silk and other things, the most important thing is that the national letter also said that I heard that the Tang Emperor had a princess of Caidie, born smart and beautiful, so he planned to marry, let the Tang Emperor send the little princess over, to the emperor of the Hu Nu Kingdom Demur as a concubine......

The whole court was boiling, the civil officials were foaming at the mouth, and the generals were also indignant, but this matter was originally the responsibility of the generals, so there were indignant people, but they didn't dare to make a loud noise, and no one took the initiative to ask for help, after all, You Hurricane is a generation of famous marshals, and the commander of the 300,000 army sent by the court later is also a famous marshal, these two are folded under Hu Nu's cavalry, and no one in the court dares to ask for help.

The general of the town hall "suddenly" at this time, temporarily suppressed the noisy noise, and then only heard the Tang Emperor's voice say coldly: "Ladies and gentlemen, Hu Nu is so rampant, he speaks wildly, treats me as nothing, and insults me to the extreme, it is extremely hateful, what advice do you have for Aiqing?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall immediately began to whisper again, and after a while, there began to be ministers one after another, some recommended, and some made suggestions.

There are all the recommended ministers, there are marshals on various border fronts, and there are also some famous generals in the court, but the Tang Emperor has a contemplative look and no words.

Until one person came out of the class, it turned out to be the highly respected Dang Chaozuo Prime Minister and recommended Dr. Guanglu, the prince and young master Duan Chunqiu, a strange expression flashed on Emperor Tang's face.

Qi Fei was idle and had injuries, so he did not go to court.

With the recommendation of Qi Fei by the left minister, the ministers of the DPRK and the central government seemed to remember something, and they rushed to recommend Qi Fei, in addition to Qi Fei's brilliant military exploits, someone actually said directly, this should be the responsibility of Guanglu Doctor Duan Chunqiu, Emperor Hunu dared to coerce Princess Caidie, then Lord Duan will definitely fight on the battlefield and break the enemy's army.

If Qi Fei is present, I am afraid that he will directly spurt out a mouthful of old blood, what should be my responsibility, responsibility for your uncle, if you fight, you will fight, Nima's must be something!

Emperor Tang was also unhappy when he heard this, but the Tang court has always dared to speak among monarchs and ministers, so he just took a deep breath and said loudly: "Doctor Xuan Guanglu, Prince Duan Chunqiu goes to the palace." ”

……

In October of the seventeenth year of Tianbao of the Tang Dynasty, Doctor Guanglu, the young master of the prince Duan Chunqiu was named the general of Shenwu, Zheng Erpin, the wartime governor of the Northwest, the military governor of the three northwest provinces, the governor of the northwest war, and led an army of 300,000 to aid the northwest border.

In November of the seventeenth year of the Tang Dynasty, Liangzhou, Suzhou, and Yinzhou in the northwest gathered the northwest border army, cooperated with the imperial court, and came to a big counterattack.

The strength of the two sides is still the advantage of the Tang State, but the battle situation is still not optimistic, almost two to one casualties, hundreds of thousands of people were killed in the battle, both sides suffered heavy losses, and for a time the Northwest Army and Hu Nu began to confront each other in the position of the first line of the three provinces of the Tang State.

In the early spring of Tianbao's eighteenth year, it was another general battle, and the Tang soldiers were divided into five routes, namely Liangzhou soldiers, Suzhou soldiers, Yinzhou soldiers, soldiers in the middle of the imperial court, and criminal soldiers.

The three northwestern provinces have a total of 100,000 criminal soldiers, which can be called a huge number, and almost all the criminals who are sent to the northwest are strong men who have armed forces or commit violent crimes.

Qi Fei personally collected the guilty army under his command, got 100,000 of them, and promised that if the war was won, he could remove the guilty army and erase the tattoos, and those who had meritorious service could be promoted, and those who died would have bereavement and good families.

Not only the criminal army, but also the entire northwest, all the soldiers, Qi Fei issued an order, once Hu Nu was beaten out of the Tang border, the Tang army stepped into the territory of the enemy, all the gains from the battlefield, not confiscated, allowed to be private, kill ten enemies, when promoted to one level, under the enemy's ten cities, you can plunder one of them!

After this order reached the imperial court, it caused not shock, but silence, everyone knew that this is a war, either you die, or I live, if you are not brutal, then the enemy will also be brutal, but is such an order still a little excessive?

Finally, an old scholar spoke, but he didn't blame Qi Fei too much, but just said, killing ten enemies, when they are promoted to one level, will it cause the slaughter of the heads of the people of the enemy country, pretending to be the leader? If the war is lost, will it attract the same retaliation from the enemy?

Emperor Tang was silent for a long time when he heard this, and just said: I have promised Duan Chunqiu to act cheaply! Then he retreated.

In July of the eighteenth year of Tianbao, the Tang army finally fought a bloody battle, and after several large and small battles, it finally expelled the Hunu army from the border, at this moment, the total strength of the Tang army in the northwest was only about 500,000, and the sin army was still 60,000.

In September of the eighteenth year of Tianbao, after a short period of cultivation, General Shenwu and Duan Chunqiu, the governor of the Northwest Metropolis, wrote a short letter to the imperial court, and then began to fight back against Hu Nu!

In November of the eighteenth year of Tianbao, the Tang army of 300,000 and the criminal army under its jurisdiction were 60,000.

In December of the eighteenth year of Tianbao, the land of Hunu suffered a snow disaster that had not been encountered in a century, cattle and sheep froze to death countless times, and the people were also killed and injured.

Duan Chunqiu did not send this letter to the imperial court, but tore it up directly in the middle of the battle, which caused an uproar in the Tang Dynasty court for a while, and Duan Chunqiu actually appeared to support the army and self-respect, intending to rebel.

At this time, in the Duan Mansion, Murong Rong was accompanying Xiaoyuan's junior sister to drink tea and enjoy the snow.

March of the nineteenth year of Tianbao is a month recorded in the history of the Tang Dynasty, this month, Duan Chunqiu's 300,000 troops divided into three routes, and even the fifty sincerity of the Hu Nu Kingdom, faintly had the weather of the song "Why don't the men take Wu Hook and collect the fifty states of Guanshan".

In June of the nineteenth year of Tianbao, the country of Hunu began to split, and some of the generals of Hunu defected to the Tang Dynasty, and at this time, Qi Fei's army had occupied half of the land of Hunu.
