At this time, Chai Shaoruo had an attitude of ignorance, and he couldn't tell the truth.

Li Shiji is different, he can be regarded as not having an armistice order and continue to advance.

At this time, since he had taken down the White Dao, Pharmacist Li led his troops to the north and went to Baidao City to join Li Shiji.

The White Road is an ancient road that crosses the Yin Mountain, and the White Road River is named after this road.

The Yinshan Mountain Range stretches for more than 2,000 miles from east to west, and the section located in the north of the Baidaochuan River is the middle section, and the Yinshan Mountain in the narrow sense refers to this section, and today it is called Daqing Mountain.

The southern slope of the Yinshan Mountains in this area is very steep, while the northern slope is gentle.

This is the most difficult climbing mountain road on the southern slope, and the rocks along the way are white, so it has been called "white road" since ancient times.

The Book of Water. The river water note records: "At the mouth of the south valley of Baidao, there is a city on the right, lingering with the Great Wall, and the mountain is facing the river, which is called Baidao City." From the north of the city, there is Takasaka, which is called Baidaoling. ”

Baidao City is today's Hohhot in Inner Mongolia, located at the foot of the mountain at the southern end of Baidao; The Baidaoling on "Takasaka" is located on the top of a mountain at the northern end of the Baidao, in the territory of Wuchuan County in present-day Inner Mongolia.

The white road is roughly equivalent to the Huwu Highway between Hohhot and Wuchuan today.

The background of the ancient music poem "Drinking Horses and Great Wall Caves" in the Han Dynasty is the white road.

The poem "Selected Writings of Zhaoming" notes: "The Great Wall, built by Qin to prepare for Hu." There is a spring cave under it, where you can drink horses. ”

"Water Jing Note. "River Water Three" describes: "Along the road, only the earth hole springs, and it is endless." ”

When Li Daoyuan came here, he sighed: "Every time I read "Qin Cao", I saw that Qin was cautious and harmonious, and "Song of Solomon" said: "Drinking Horses Great Wall Caves." And its Bazhi Si Road, far nostalgic for ancient things, the beginning of the faith, not a lie. ”

During the Warring States Period, King Wuling of Zhao "Hufu Cavalry Shooting", after defeating Lin Hu and Lou Fu, he built Yunzhong City at the foot of the southern mountain of Baidao, and built the Great Wall of Zhao on the top of the northern mountain.

Later, Yunzhong County in the Qin Dynasty and Han Dynasty was this area.

The early capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, "Shengle", was located in Dali City, the administrative center of the Yang Zhengdao puppet regime.

In that year, Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty created the "Six Towns", of which Wuchuan Town was the military town guarding Baidaoling.

Later, the Western Wei, Eastern Wei, Northern Zhou, Northern Qi, Yang Sui, and even the royal families of the six dynasties of Li and Tang were all descendants of the "Six Towns".

Yang Jian's father, Yang Zhong, and Li Yuan's grandfather, Li Hu, were once subordinate to Wuchuan Military Town.

For the soldiers of the early Tang Dynasty, going out of the White Road to Wuchuan to attack the Turks is enough to have great historical feelings for the family and country.

In the second half of the fourth year of Zhenguan, in Baidao City, Li Yaoshi and Li Shiji received the holy edict.

The emperor had accepted Jieli's request to surrender and sent Tang Jian to Tieshan to negotiate the annexation, and Hongluqing was equivalent to today's foreign minister.

At the same time, he ordered Li Yaoshi to lead the generals to Yingjieli into the court.

After Pharmacist Li paid his respects, the envoy who came to announce the edict smiled and said: "Your Majesty has great expectations here, and before Hongluqing left Beijing, His Majesty asked: 'Is it possible to take advantage of Qingguanjie?' ”

Pharmacist Li hurriedly asked, "I don't know what Hongluqing thinks?" ”

The envoy said: "Hongluqing said to him: 'The title of the country is also expected.'" ”

Pharmacist Li bowed down and thanked: "Many of the nobles in the middle of the guidance of the people." ”

After the envoy left, Pharmacist Li asked Li Shiji, "I don't know what Mao Gong thinks?" ”

Li Shiji said: "Your Majesty asked, 'Can you get it?', and Hongluqing replied, 'You can also hope to get', this 'picture' is a 'get', but I hope that the reference is the same. ”

Pharmacist Li nodded and said, "What I saw is really the same. ”

Li Shiji said: "Although Jieli was defeated, there were still tens of thousands of victorious soldiers. He did not drive directly to Mobei, but re-set up a tooth tent in Tieshan, just because the snow at the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain was not dissolved, and the grass did not grow, so he could not support horses. After a month, the grass will sprout, and he will surely cross the moraine and die in the desert north. When the grass grows and the horses are fat, he can lead his troops westward and take refuge in Sha Bo Luoshe. and even went west, clinging to the nine surnames. ”

"Nine surnames" refers to the nine surnames of Zhaowu, including Kang, Shi, An, Cao and other nine surnames Hu people.

Kang Sumi, who was originally under the Jieli account, came from Kangguo.

At that time, all the nine countries belonged to the Western Turks.

Pharmacist Li still just nodded in agreement.

So Li Shiji continued: "Mobei is not only a vast area, but also a dangerous road.

Once Jieli escapes, it will be difficult for us to catch up.

At that time, in the desert, not only will their whereabouts be unpredictable, but our army will have to send grain and straw for thousands of miles, which will cost a lot of money.

It's not as good as ......."

At this time, Li Shiji looked at Pharmacist Li, but saw that this Tang Dynasty military god was also looking at him, his eyes were shining and radiant.

This made Li Shiji's eyes burn too: "Engraved that Tang Jian has gone there, the Jieli people will inevitably relax their defenses." I might as well take advantage of this opportunity to sneak around, and I will definitely be captured in a battle! ”

Pharmacist Li was overjoyed when he heard this, and clapped his hands and praised: "What Mao Gong has seen is very much in line with my wishes!" ”

He has long intended to make a profit in one fell swoop, and he has already implemented a strategy.

However, due to the lack of horses at hand, Li Shiji's full cooperation was required to implement it.

At this time, these two legendary generals who will go down in history will work together to draw follow-up tactics.

The holy edict ordered Pharmacist Li to enter the court with Yingjieli, so he went to the Iron Mountain tent to "welcome".

Li Shiji went to the moraine to fortify to prevent Jieli from escaping to Mobei.

Li Yaoshi originally had 25,000 troops, but he set out from Daizhou, first took Mayi, and then made a decision, and he had to send troops to stay behind.

What's more, on the way from Ma Yi to the Evil Yang Ridge, the weather and terrain are too harsh and precipitous, and it is inevitable that there will be injuries.

So on this trip, he only selected 10,000 elite horsemen to raid Iron Mountain.

It is a surprise attack, and it must be galloped on horseback.

10,000 fine horsemen required more than 30,000 horses, and the two of them integrated the original good horses of both sides and let the warriors use them as war horses.

Jieli fled in a hurry, leaving behind many Turkic horses, which, although not colts, could still be used as horses, pack horses, and horses.

In order to allow the warriors to maintain their physical strength to the greatest extent during the trip, in addition to the 10,000 war horses, Pharmacist Li also equipped them with 30,000 Turkic horses.

From Baidao City out of Baidao City to Baidaoling, and then to Tieshan, a one-way journey of about 400 miles, a normal march can be carried back and forth in less than ten days.

It's just that Baidao City is already a plateau, and Baidaoling is even higher along the way out of Baidao, and with the snow in winter, the road is extremely difficult.

Therefore, under actuarial calculations, Pharmacist Li decided to carry 20 days of grain in case of emergency.

When Zhang Gongjin was informed of this plan, he was greatly surprised: "Chief Administrator, the Holy Edict has promised Jieli to surrender, and Hongluqing is there, how can he fight it?" ”

Pharmacist Li glanced at Zhang Gongjin and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

However, he just said: "Gongjin, when Han Xin broke Qi, did he hesitate because Li was born there? The so-called "those who will govern the big will not govern the small, and those who will achieve great achievements will not be small". If you can pacify the Turks in one fell swoop, such as Tang Jian, what a pity! ”
