Turkic smoke cloud 302 situation
After that, Tang Ping and his party really rushed to the Turkic direction non-stop.
Finally, ten days later, they came to the location of the Turkic Protectorate.
Hou Junji was naturally absent, and the one who took the lead to greet them was Gu Xiaotang, the Turkic Khan who stayed here.
Goodbye Gu Xiaotang, Tang Ping found that the other party seemed to have changed a little, but it didn't seem to have changed.
"This is Princess Qingluan, right? Last time you got married to the prince of Heping, it stands to reason that I should have celebrated, but I just happened to have a child at that time, so I am really sorry that I should not travel far. I've always wanted to see you, and today I finally got my wish."
Unexpectedly, Gu Xiaotang just saluted Tang Ping, and then pulled Wang Qingluan to talk, which made Tang Ping, who was originally going to say hello, look a little embarrassed.
Lao Cui and Lao Du stood far away, and then Lao Cui stretched out his hand and said, "Isn't it? Do you see what I'm talking about? I said that it was Shura, right? Come on, come on, willing to gamble and lose, ten coppers!"
Lao Du reluctantly took out ten coppers and slapped them on Lao Cui's hand: "It's different for a dog to marry a daughter-in-law, you guessed it."
Fortunately, on the Turkic side, in addition to Gu Xiaotang, there is also Tang Ping's acquaintance, General Kang Sumi.
Although the Tang Dynasty canonized Gu Xiaotang as the Turkic Khan, most of the military power was still in the hands of Kang Sumi, who wanted to surrender the most.
A Turkic with military and political integration is unacceptable to the Tang Dynasty.
However, Kang Sumi was also very satisfied after the military power was handed over, so the Turks and Gu Xiaotang got along quite well, one held power and the other held military power without interfering with each other, which also made the Turks after the war quickly recover their vitality with the help of the Tang Dynasty.
"I've seen Ping Guogong!" Kang Sumi knew Tang Ping's status in the Tang Dynasty, even though he was just a prince who didn't seem to have any real power, but Kang Sumi still looked very respectful.
"General Kang Sumi, everyone is an old acquaintance, so there is no need to be so polite."
Kang Sumi's arrival alleviated Tang Ping's embarrassment, he stood beside Gu Xiaotang and Wang Qingluan, and always felt that the atmosphere was very ...... Subtle.
So he hurriedly pulled Kang Sumi to the side.
"How did you fight with Beiyan this time?" This was Tang Ping's greatest concern, and on the way, he also met some Turkic herdsmen who were afraid of being affected by the war, but where could those people know the details of internal force.
So you have to ask Kang Sumi, who is in charge of the Turkic army.
"To be honest, I don't even know!" Kang Sumi spread his hands and said, "More than half a month ago, one morning, Houduhu suddenly went to Ulan Hada with his soldiers and horses, saying that he was going to enter the city to find people."
Kang Sumi said with a wry smile: "That Beiyan has been on good terms with us recently, but it is impossible to agree to the Tang Dynasty's army entering their border town! That's why I heard that there was a conflict."
"There are not many people in Houdu's escort, so naturally they suffered a loss, it is said that three soldiers were killed, and when Houdu escorted back that afternoon, he gathered our Turkic king's army and attacked Ulan Hada with the Tang army."
"You didn't persuade me?" Tang Ping asked strangely.
"Ping Guogong, look at what you said, how can I persuade you? Hou Duhu's statement is that Beiyan detained the Tang Dynasty officials and killed the Tang Dynasty soldiers, offended the Tang Dynasty Tianwei, and must return the color, do you think I can persuade it?"
Tang Ping nodded, Kang Sumi was right, although there are about 80,000 troops in the Turkic royal court now, and then the total number of soldiers scattered throughout the Turks should exceed 200,000, and Hou Junji only has more than 20,000 Tang troops, but in such a situation, the Turkic side really has no right to refuse.
According to the record of "New Tang Dynasty Book and Hundred Official Chronicles": "All protect and control Zhufan, comfort, levy, recount, recount, and sins, and judge government affairs."
The current Hou Junji is naturally exercising the right to expropriate.
"By the way, have you seen the Overseer?"
Li Ziwu was the fuse of this Tang Yan war, and I don't know if he is dead or alive now, but according to Tang Ping and Wang Qingluan's guesses, most of them were disposed of by Hou Junji.
"Naturally, I have seen it, the imperial envoy of Li has only arrived in the Turks, and he has come to our royal court and met the khan."
"Did you notice anything out of the ordinary?"
"Anomalous?" Kang Sumi thought for a moment and shook his head: "There is nothing out of the ordinary, but he did ask the Khan for two warriors who said they were interpreters for his trip......
"Oh?" Tang Ping raised his eyebrows, he remembered that Li Shimin said at that time that this Li Ziwu was proficient in Turkic, Khitan and other Chinese, how could he need Turkic people to be his translator when he arrived in Turkic?
"And what about the two Turkic warriors who followed?"
Kang Sumi frowned, and said with a strange expression: "It's strange here, the night before the disappearance of Imperial Envoy Li, the two of them were knocked unconscious at the same time, but the place where they were found was in Ulan Hada City. It's the two people who were found after Houdu broke through the city!"
Tang Ping nodded, although there were various speculations that Hou Junji was playing tricks behind this, but so far they had no evidence to prove that this was a war provoked by Hou Junji.
"How's the battle going?"
Kang Sumi said with a palpitating look: "Hou Du Hu broke ten cities in a row for ten days, and caught Beiyan off guard, and now it is already approaching Yingzhou City."
It's no wonder that Kang Sumi is like this, when Hou Junji came, his ability was not obvious, plus the last war against the Turks, Hou Junji stayed in the rear, and there was no such person among the generals who attacked the Turks.
Therefore, Kang Sumi also felt that Hou Junji had no ability, and I heard that he offended Tang Ping and was sent to this place by Emperor Li Shimin to protect the capital, although he was usually respectful, but he didn't think much of it in private.
But who knew that as soon as the war began, Hou Junji led people like a tiger descending the mountain, and the lightning battle coordinated by foot and cavalry directly attacked the entire southwest border of Beiyan in more than ten days, and now it has been forced into Yingzhou, the national capital of Beiyan.
Not far behind is Liaodong City, which is the Shenyang of later generations, which is the territory of Goguryeo.
The Turks and Northern Yan border, and the two sides have not fought without war, Kang Sumi thought that if he led 70,000 people to attack Northern Yan like this, although he was confident that he might not lose, it was impossible to reach Yingzhou so quickly.
Because of this, Kang Sumi was afraid of Hou Junji's military ability.
"Have you already hit Yingzhou?"
Tang Ping pondered for a moment, Yingzhou is the capital of Beiyan Kingdom, and it seems that Hou Junji has won a battle to destroy the country this time.
In addition to the courage and skill of the Tang soldiers and Turkic soldiers and his strong command ability, the two Tang Shenwei cannons that were sent to the Turkic capital at that time also played an important role.
The cities of Beiyan are not as strong as those of the Tang Dynasty, and many of them are built with soil and thatch to live into thin mud.
In such a situation, Tang Ping has to consider whether to take Hou Junji.
