In the Tang army camp, Lao Li Jing looked at the Dingxiang City defense map and couldn't help laughing, "It seems that this Tuli is really an iron-hearted vote to Tang, this map is detailed enough." ”

The detailed envoy of the letter echoed: "Dashuai Mingjian, there is no moment when my family patriarch does not want to be under the command of the Tang Dynasty. By the way, the patriarch of my family also asked the villain to tell the marshal, he had been to Chang'an in the early years, and he also got acquainted with His Majesty the Emperor of your country, and the two had a very good relationship, and they once considered brothers. ”

Li Jing scolded: "Nonsense! Why didn't Ben Shuai know about this? Moreover, His Majesty and the Turkic Khan Jieli have a relationship of equal generation, and Turki is Jieli's nephew, so he is naturally shorter than His Majesty, who is a brother with him? If you dare to talk nonsense again, Ben Shuai will cut your tongue. ”

The man quickly retracted his head.

Sima of the Chinese army persuaded: "Marshal, my subordinates think it's better to be cautious." ”

Li Jing nodded and said, "Not bad." In this way, your Tuli patriarch said in a secret letter that the Liang Kingdom would attack the Western Camp three days later, is this true? How did he find out? ”

Xiao Zuo hurriedly affirmed: "It's true!" It is true, it is the secret letter that our patriarch accidentally saw in the Jieli camp, and it was written by the prime minister of Liang State, in order to help the Turks attract more Tang troops, so that your Chinese army will be empty. ”

Li Jing smiled, I always felt that this kind of bridge was so familiar, where did I seem to have seen it?

"That's it, three days later, if Liang Guo really sneaks up on our Xida Battalion, Ben Shuai will believe you. Write a letter to the champion, you can bring the letter to the champion, and he will naturally receive you. ”

"If this matter is not verified after three days, it means that you are deceiving Ben Shuai, hum, don't leave when the time comes."

The man was in a cold sweat, and hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Don't dare to deceive the handsome, the villain is willing to wait for the result in three days." ”

Li Jing nodded and said: "It's a loyal man, come here, bring it down to arrange food and accommodation, don't slack off." ”

"Order!"

After sending off the fine work, the Chinese army Sima came back and asked: "Dashuai, since the Liang State may attack our Xida Camp in three days, should we send someone to inform General Qin who is stationed in the West Camp?" ”

Li Jing stretched out his finger and pointed to the information on his desk, "It's not possible, it's certain." Ben Shuai also just got the news. Don't worry, Uncle Bao, they have already prepared. ”

"Then this Tuli ......"

"Hehe, since he wants to vote for Xiao Rui, then leave him to Xiao Rui to deal with. If you can't even deal with Tuli, what can you talk about winning Jieli? ”

In the western camp of the Tang Dynasty stationed in Shuofang, Qin Shubao took 20,000 soldiers and horses and closely watched the movements of the Liang State.

"General, does Liang really dare to go out of the city and attack us at night tonight? Isn't Liang Guo a bunch of cowards? Looking at their city defenses, they are obviously afraid of our siege posture, how can they dare to attack at night? The lieutenant commander asked puzzled.

Qin Shubao smiled, only the high-level of the Tang Army knew that Xue Li, the prime minister of Liang State, was his own person, and the others were still in the dark.

"Of course, there will be no mistake in the information from the big marshal. If you don't come, then you will be a military trainer, so don't be lazy. ”

"General, please rest assured, Zuo Wuwei is impregnable, and it is impossible for anyone to break through."

……

Opposite Shuofang City, Xue Li is also making tense arrangements, Shuofang City has 40,000 defenders, and outside the city are 20,000 Tang Zuo Wuwei. But with these 20,000 people, Leng didn't dare to show his head at the 40,000 people of Liang State, which made the soldiers of Liang State feel aggrieved. Since it was a night attack, why only 10,000 were dispatched? All 40,000 troops will surely be able to destroy 20,000 people.

Xue Li reprimanded and said, aggrieved? Do you think that it is only 20,000 men who are watching us? Wrong! Behind the 20,000 people, there are hundreds of thousands of Datang elites. If it weren't for the Turkic elite who contained the Tang Dynasty, these hundreds of thousands of people would have come over at any time to destroy the Liang State.

Now our Liang State only wants to protect itself, just sit back and watch the Turks and the Tang Dynasty fight to the death.

The subordinates don't understand, in this case, why do they attack Datang at night?

Xue Li explained that the night attack was for the Turkic side, and they wanted to defeat the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang soldiers were strong and strong, and it was difficult to start. Want us to help drag more Tang troops. Arranging a night attack can attract more Tang troops to come and besiege the city, and then the Turks in Dingxiang City will have a chance.

"Xiangguo, why don't we help the Tang Dynasty, but help the Turks? Why should you listen to the Turkic orders? "Some people questioned it.

Xue Li sighed and said: "At the beginning, our Majesty of the Liang State was also an anti-king on an equal footing with the Tang Emperor, and the Tang Dynasty wanted to unify the country, and it was bound to destroy the Liang State." The Liang state was weak and could only survive by relying on the Turks. Otherwise, it can only be annexed by Datang. I want our emperor to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, tsk...... Impossible. ”

So that's the case? In order to keep the throne of the Liang Kingdom, let us soldiers stand in the way and help you fight against the Tang Dynasty? I heard that the people over there in Datang are doing better than us, right?

Many soldiers began to have strange thoughts in their hearts.

Xue Li saw it all in his eyes, this was the result he wanted, and encouraged the soldiers in a loud voice: "Okay, the war is about to start, don't think nonsense, if you win this battle, the Liang Kingdom will get better and better, and those who participate in this battle will be exempted from paying taxes for three years at home." Those who have made meritorious contributions will be promoted to knighthood. ”

Only then did everyone abandon their illusions and actively prepare for war.

Xue Li would never tell them that the reason why he used 10,000 night attacks instead of 40,000 was not to deal with errands, but because he didn't want to kill too many people in vain. This scene is for the Turks to see, it is inevitable that there will be deaths and injuries, but it is not cost-effective to die too much, these people will be the people of the Tang Dynasty in the future.

At night, the Shuofang city gate was quietly opened, and the drawbridge of the moat was lowered, and Xue Li stood at the head of the city, watching the 10,000 Liang soldiers touch the west camp opposite.

Two quarters of an hour later, with the sound of a trumpet, the western camp was full of flames, shouting and killing, and fell into a fierce battle.

But it didn't take long for the Liang soldiers to flee back in rout, as if the Tang army had been prepared, and a night attack turned into a self-defeating net.

10,000 people attacked, sacrificed more than 1,000, captured 7,000, and only escaped less than 2,000, almost killing Xue Li.

So early the next morning, Xue Li took his personal guards and hurried to Dingxiang City to hold him accountable. We were ambushed in the night attack, it must have been leaked here in Dingxiang, otherwise how would the Tang army know that we attacked that night? 10,000 elites, our Liang State only has a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses, and 10,000 at once, you Turks are our allies? Or is it deliberately tricking us?

In the face of Xue Li's questioning, Jieli's face was ugly, not because the other party's words were unpleasant, but because the plan of the night attack failed and failed to lead away more Tang troops, so the whole plan had to be adjusted.

The Turkic Zuoxian King Youyou said, "Why do you say that we leaked your night attack plan? Dingxiang is hundreds of miles away from Shuofang, how do you arrange a night attack, we don't know. You'd better go back and check if there is a detailed work of the Tang Army around you? ”

Xue Li said angrily: "What did you say? I haven't been in or out of Shuofang City for half a month, how can I leak secrets? Is there a joke about 10,000 elites? Great Khan, if you don't give me an explanation for this matter, don't blame us Liang Guo for not helping, there are too many casualties among the soldiers, and we are stretched thin to protect ourselves, so we have no time to distract him. ”
