Assault Dingxiang 2
On this trip, the jade-clawed white falcon also came to the front line with Pharmacist Li, and on this day, Pharmacist Li let it go straight to the sky.
The falcon is a favorite hunting arm of the Cypriot peoples, and is extremely familiar with it.
Jieli had already learned that Pharmacist Li had a leading white falcon, and he was extremely keen.
At that time, the Great Khan's tooth tent was from top to bottom, and the original army had collapsed.
When he was about to flee in a hurry, he kept receiving news that the Tang army was pressing the border, and he saw the white eagle roaring in the air, and he couldn't help but be shocked every day.
When it was getting dark, Pharmacist Li began to form the team.
He boosted morale before sending troops:
"How many days in the past have I sharpened my bow and sharpened my sword, and I waited for the end of my life, just for this moment!"
"No!"
"Pingchuan in front is branded with the horse's hooves of General Wei and Huo Biyao!"
"No!"
"The history of the Han Dynasty is engraved with their exploits!"
"No!"
At this time, Pharmacist Li's tone became more and more high-spirited: "The glory of the Tang Dynasty is waiting for us!" We! We! Go! Open! Create! ”
The three thousand horsemen were excited, and shouted in unison: "No! ”
"No!"
"No!"
As soon as Pharmacist Li gave the order, everyone whipped and shouted, and the neatly arranged phalanx, one after another, galloped towards Jieli's tooth tent in order.
However, at this time, Jieli had already led his headquarters to retreat all the way north, and rushed into the Yinshan Mountain Range, preparing to temporarily set up the tooth tent in Tieshan.
Lu Lun, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, worked on the scene, and his poems were extraordinary, with the imagery of the Tang Dynasty.
He has six songs of "Stopper's Song", the third of which was written by Pharmacist Li at this time:
The moon black geese fly high
Flee at night
I want to chase the light rider away
Heavy snow is full of bow knives
Why didn't Pharmacist Li "want to chase away the light horse"? However, at this moment, he must first stabilize Dingxiang.
He led his army into the city, and although Jieli had fled, Kang Sumi was still in the city.
Ten years ago, Chuluo Khan welcomed Empress Xiao and her young grandson Yang Zhengdao to the Turks and established a puppet regime, and its administrative center "Dali City" was in the north of Dingxiang.
The people of the Great Sui who were in exile in exile all obeyed Yang Zhengdao and competed with the Central Plains.
At this time, Kang Sumi took Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao to ask Pharmacist Li to surrender.
The time sequence entered the fourth year of Zhenguan.
This year's New Year in the Tang Center is quite different from the past.
In previous years, the emperor was sacrificing to the Taimiao and cultivating in the eastern suburbs; It was a big banquet again, playing "King Qin's Breaking Array Music".
In this year, due to the dispatch of the six armies to attack the Turks, the ceremonies were all simplified.
However, after the beginning of the year, the first performance Li Shimin received was actually the good news of Pharmacist Li, how exciting!
At this time, on the Dingxiang front, Zhang Gongjin and Su Dingfang had already arrived with a large team.
However, immediately afterwards, to the surprise of Pharmacist Li, he saw Li Dejian and Li Dexian, who came with the envoy.
The envoy reads the decree.
The emperor named Li Yaoshi as the acting prince of the country, and rewarded 600 pieces of official silk, as well as many famous horses and various treasures.
After Pharmacist Li accepted it, the envoy smiled and said: "Your Majesty also said: 'In the past, Li Ling raised 5,000 foot soldiers, and he inevitably surrendered to the Huns, and he still had the name of the book Bamboo Silk. Now Qing has gone deep into the court with 3,000 light horses, recovering Dingxiang, and revitalizing Beidi, which is unprecedented in ancient and modern times, and is enough to repay the battle of Weishui in previous years." ”
Pharmacist Li thanked him again.
The envoy said: "Your Majesty ordered the two sons of the country to come to the lady of the country to welcome the former Empress Xiao of Sui into Beijing. ”
Pharmacist Li respectfully received the order.
After arranging the envoys, his wife entered the back tent.
Pharmacist Li didn't have time to say goodbye, so he hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty only ordered you to welcome Empress Xiao into Beijing?" ”
"And Yang Zhengdao." Chuchen fully understood why his husband had such a question, so he repeatedly emphasized: "Your Majesty only ordered me to welcome Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao. ”
Pharmacist Li nodded and said, "Understood." ”
At that time, there was still Princess Yicheng of Yang Sui in the Jieli account.
In the past 30 years, she has become the Kehedun of the four khans of Qimin, Shibi, Chuluo, and Jieli, and has repeatedly used her power to influence the Khan's decision-making, and supported Liu Wuzhou, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Liang Shidu and other forces in the late Sui Dynasty to compete with Li Tang.
As for Empress Xiao, although she has been in the Turks for ten years, she has not taken such measures.
Now Li Shimin specially sent his beloved wife to come, and only ordered her to welcome Empress Xiao into Beijing, and he has made it clear that the Venerable of Ten Thousand Vehicles has no intention of letting Princess Yicheng enter the court.
Pharmacist Li then asked, "Then Yongkang County Gong?" ”
Although the county duke is only a knighthood from the second rank, every marching commander and even deputy general of this crusade against the Turks has a higher title than the county duke.
However, for the duke who has been passed down from family for several generations for more than 100 years, Pharmacist Li can't help but have other feelings.
I saw my beloved wife smile and said, "Your Majesty has given it to your eldest brother." ”
When Pharmacist Li heard this, he felt so deep in his heart that he almost choked up.
After Li Tang founded the country, Li Yaowang never came out, and he did not receive a gift after his death, which made Li Yaoshi quite regretful.
Now Li Shimin has given the title of Yongkang County Duke to his eldest brother, whom he has always respected, which is far more significant to Pharmacist Li than his own promotion to Tianlu.
At the same time, Jieli also sent Zhi Zhili to come and apologize to Pharmacist Li and ask for surrender, expressing his willingness to attach himself to the country.
This was beyond the scope of Li Yaoshi's discretion, so he asked Zhi Zhi Sili to accompany the envoy, as well as his beloved wife and son, to send Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao to Beijing.
Empress Xiao's ancestors and grandsons entered the Tang Dynasty, representing the remnants of Yang Sui's political forces, and finally disappeared.
Li Shimin attached great importance to it and personally received him.
Eighteen years later, Empress Xiao died, and she asked to be buried with Emperor Yang of Sui, which was approved by Li Shimin.
So she was able to be buried as a queen in the tomb built for Yang Guang in Leitang when Li Yaoshi served in Yangzhou.
Since Jieli had sent an envoy to surrender, Pharmacist Li temporarily stationed his soldiers and horses in Dingxiang.
Originally, this was not only the tooth tent of Jieli, but also the administrative center of Yang Zhengdao's puppet regime, "Dali City", and the local faction forces and ethnic structures were very complex.
After Pharmacist Li was stationed, he first cleared out the forces of all parties, pacified Lu Li Shishu, and stabilized the situation.
More than 100 miles north of Dingxiang is the white road.
Within a few days, Li Shiji had led the army of Tongmodao to cross Luliang Mountain and march west along the southern foot of Yin Mountain.
His mission was to threaten the rear of the Dingxiang Tent from the east, but now that Pharmacist Li had taken Dingxiang, he attacked Baidao and successfully took it down.
When Pharmacist Li got the news, he smiled secretly in his heart.
Li Shiji must have also learned about Jieli's envoy to ask for surrender, but he did not stop, but continued to march westward to capture Baidao.
As for Chai Shao, his task was to threaten the rear of the Xiangya tent from the west, and at this time he had temporarily stationed troops and horses.
Several of their generals had a tacit understanding about the war, if Jieli was sincerely attached, why should he flee from Dingxiang? Now he has rushed into the Iron Mountain, and only sent the stubborn and lost his strength to ask for surrender, if it is not a strategy to delay the army, how can he think otherwise? However, on the way to Dingxiang, he must pass through the war zone where Chai Shao was deployed.
