Chapter 125: Capturing Jieli Khan Alive

Li Jing said: "The last general thinks that although Jieli has lost in the previous battles, there are still many people loyal to him, and after he signs an alliance with us, he will definitely lead the army to retreat to the desert, avoid the edge of our army, and preserve his strength, if we march again at that time, it will be even more difficult." Now that the envoys of the imperial court are on their way to Iron Mountain, Jieli must be very lax at this time, and I suggest attacking immediately at this time. ”

Adjutant General Zhang Gongjin objected: "Generalissimo, although the generalissimo is reasonable, but Your Majesty has already agreed to the Turkic dependence, if you rashly advance the army, I am afraid that it will disrupt Your Majesty's deployment, and at the same time it will attract the criticism of the imperial court." ”

Gao Buji took out the emperor's secret decree and let them know, and soon unified their opinions.

Gao Buer asked Li Jingdao: "Now that Jieli has gathered seventy or eighty thousand horses in Tieshan, how many soldiers and horses are you going to take to raid?" ”

Li Jing said: "10,000 horses are enough to carry twenty days' rations. ”

"Okay, Ben Shuai will give you 10,000 fine horses, Chai Shao will lead 30,000 horses as backup, and Ben Shuai will lead a large team of men and horses to press in later,

At the same time, he ordered Li Daozong to march to Tieshan to join you. Let's get ready to go. ”

Everyone received the order, and Gao Buer left Chai Shao for everyone to prepare.

Gao Buer came to Chai Shao and said: "Your Majesty sent me a secret letter before, telling me about you and Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning, I am afraid that you will delay the military aircraft by being emotional, I know that since Xiuning's death, these years have not been truthful, and I have been thinking about revenge, this time I will let you lead 30,000 horses to the battle, don't be blinded by hatred." ”

Chai Shao didn't say a word, Shi Yili came out of the big tent, and it seemed that he was quite obsessed with it.

The next day, Li Jing and Chai Shao each set off with their men and horses, and after a day's stop, Gao Buer also led the main army to continue westward.

In February, Zhang Jian led the delegation to Tieshan, and the weather began to gradually warm, and the ice and snow had not yet melted, but spring was indeed coming soon. Jieli received the Tang envoy very warmly, but never mentioned the surrender, at this time Li Jing's army was less than seven kilometers away from the Tieshan Jieli tooth tent.

Zhang Jian came to the Jieli camp, every day to eat and drink well, but the purpose of the envoy has not been achieved, on the third day he came to the Jieli tent, said: "Great Khan, now that the weather is getting warmer, I don't know when you will go to Chang'an with your ministers to see Your Majesty." ”

Hum! See you in the morning? It's a greeting with soldiers. Jieli thought to himself, but still said haha: "The messenger doesn't need to worry, this way to brave the cold, Jieli is deeply ashamed, here for a month, I will not be too late to set off with you." ”

MD, Panhuan set off in January, I'm afraid it's April if I can't leave the Turkic realm, when the ice and snow melt and the grass and trees come back to life, you can still go to Chang'an to see the hell, it's stupid to be a buddy.

Zhang Jian's face was embarrassed, and on the grounds that the emperor's order was not allowed to be postponed, he urged Jieli to leave as soon as possible.

Jie Li said with a calm face: "Okay, I will consider the opinion of your envoy, come, please ask Tang Envoy to go down and rest, ask for good wine and good food to entertain, and send six beautiful women to serve you." ”

Zhang Jian had no choice but to give a salute and go out, preparing to come back tomorrow.

It's a pity that Li Jing didn't give Zhang Jian much time, and the next day in the thick fog, Li Jing ordered Su Dingfang to lead hundreds of cavalry as the vanguard, and killed the Jieli tooth tent, Zhang Jian in the camp heard the Turks shouting "The Tang army is coming—the Tang army is coming—"

was frightened, so he was scared to death, and shouted: "Li Jing harmed me." So the guards dug a big pit and put him in a box and buried him, and as soon as he got it, the people who followed Zhang Jian were arrested by the Turks, and Zhang Jian could not be found by torture, so Jieli asked them all to be killed.

Due to the sudden arrival of Li Jing's army, in the case of not knowing the number of the other party, the Turks resisted for a while and were scattered.

In the first battle of Tieshan, the Tang army eliminated the main force of Jieli, captured more than 100,000 people, hundreds of thousands of livestock, and the former Sui Yicheng princess was also captured.

The rescued Zhang Jian pointed at Su Dingfang in front of Li Jing and scolded, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai for scolding Li Jing, Li Jing listened to it and let him have something to say to King Zhou, but Su Dingfang looked embarrassed and scolded back.

Jieli led more than 10,000 men and horses to prepare to go west, and fled all the way to Tuyuhun. But in the process of fleeing west, he was intercepted and killed by Xu Shiji, who came later, for a while, and then met Li Daozong, who was marching in a hurry. In the end, Jieli led the remnants to flee to Suni, where he was captured and dedicated to Li Daozong, who surrendered.

Gao Buer asked Li Daozong to directly escort Jieli into Beijing, led the army into Suni, and then prepared to continue westward and take Tuyuhun in one fell swoop.

Li Jing in accordance with Gao Buer's order, let Su Dingfang lead the captives to the south, to Chang'an Xianjie, and then according to Gao Buer's instructions, and Xu Shiji, Chai Shao will only attack other Turkic tribes with a three-way army, two months later pacify the entire Turkic territory, the entire Turkic territory has since been included in the Tang Dynasty, and then to Suni lost and Gao Buji round.

Zhang Jian followed Li Jing for a few months, and finally met Gao Buer, and complained about the bitterness as soon as they met, Gao Buer smiled and asked people to take him down to have a good rest, and then returned to Chang'an together.

Zhang Jian left, Gao Buer asked people to bring Princess Yicheng in, these days, Gao Buer has not seen Princess Yicheng, because he didn't think about how to meet, to say that the Yang family of the Great Sui is also kind to him, this Princess Yicheng has a good relationship with Yang Guang, and he still has Yang Guang's queen and prince in his hands, I really don't know what to do.
