Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2036

Tuo Mozhi looked at this subordinate coldly, shook his head and said: "I know what you think, no matter what the second prince's side is, capturing Dingxiang is a great achievement, but how can the credit come from the sky like this? When the expedition is approaching, can you Khan once told me that the biggest purpose of this trip is to oppress the Tang people, forcing the Tang people to agree to the marriage proposal when they have no time to look north, and absolutely not to go to war with Datang."

After a pause, looking at all the generals under his command, he said in a deep voice: "The Tang Dynasty is rich and powerful. The emperor sits firmly in Chang'an and has millions of troops in the country. Once he is angered, how can Xue Yantuo be able to fight? Don't forget, just More than ten years ago, in this place, the Eastern Turkic Khanate, which once dominated the grassland and desert, was defeated by the Tang Dynasty. The hero of a generation, Jieli Khan, was also a prisoner of his rank, and finally died of illness in Chang'an! Everyone, is it true that the current Xue Yantuo , is it stronger than the Eastern Turks of more than ten years ago?"

The generals are silent.

Where is this comparable?
At that time, the East Turks straddled the east, west, north and south, with a vast territory, hundreds of tribes tamed, and hundreds of thousands of people who controlled the strings. When Jieli Khan led his army to the south and reached the Wei River, he led a full force of 20, all of whom were elites. Among the elite.

At the same time, the troops guarding the Yinshan Yazhang far exceeded this.

Impossible.

However, even though Xue Yantuo boasted of being strong, his total army strength is only more than [-], which is only the number of troops led by Jieli Khan in one expedition...

Even the Eastern Turks, who dominated the desert like that, were defeated by the Tang Dynasty. Even the Khan became a prisoner, imprisoned in the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and was not allowed to return to the grassland when he was dying.

It is conceivable that once Xue Yantuo really angered Datang and forced Datang to go to war against Xue Yantuo regardless, what kind of desperate situation Xue Yantuo would face...

Dujun Yu Mountain seems to be very far away, but first Huo Qubing was sealed off as a wolf, and then there was Dou Xianle and Shi Yanran. When the Han Dynasty was strong, they were always able to make surprise attacks from thousands of miles away.

Anyone who commits a crime against a strong man is bound to die!

The current Great Tang is probably more powerful than the Great Han back then!

Whether it is Xue Yantuo or the Turkic people, they usually do some small tricks to plunder the Han land, which is not a big deal, but if they go to war with the Tang Dynasty in an all-round way, they will only die.

Now that Dadu is setting up a ghost, actually thinking of chasing the Turkic people and slaughtering them under the Yanmen Pass, this will definitely arouse the anger of Datang. How can the arrogant Tang army sit idly by?
A war is inevitable.

If Dadu disobeyed the Khan's order, then let him go back to accept the Khan's punishment. If Tumozhi captured Dingxiang City, he would be said to be in collusion with Dadu, wouldn't it be the same as setting up for Dadu? Shared guilt?

"Don't talk too much, obey the order, and break out of the camp!"

Du Mozhi explained and gave orders with a cold face.

"promise!"

The generals didn't dare to ask any more questions, so they hurried out of the big tent, gathered up their soldiers, and prepared to break out of the camp.

Du Mozhi was worried.

His relationship with Bazhuo has always been bad, and he is much closer to Dadushe, but in the current situation, he is powerless. Who knows what kind of madness Dadushe has gone into, and he is chasing the Turkic people, vowing to Massacre them all, exterminate the whole family in one fell swoop?
All he can do is to return to Baidaochuan immediately and hold the mountain pass tightly.

If Dadu decides to kill him, he might be able to escape alive, so he can take care of it himself. If Dadu decides to kill Yanmen, then he has to be prepared for the Tang army to take advantage of the victory and go directly across Baidaochuan to the north of Yinshan Mountain, and go straight to Xue Yantuo's attack. Hinterland...

*****
In Dingxiang City, Xue Rengui lay behind the arrow stack and watched Xue Yantuo retreat northward in an orderly formation, feeling a little regretful.

Leading more than [-] cavalry, Xue Yantuo's scout sneaked into the already empty Dingxiang City without anyone noticing, preparing to counterattack suddenly when the Xueyantuo people intended to attack Dingxiang City for greed, and was caught off guard, but never thought that Xue Yantuo The generals who stayed in the camp were so calm, instead of attacking the empty Dingxiang City, they pulled out their camp and retreated northward.

"General, what should we do? Or just go after them with their tails in their tails, anyway, they can't run fast with their supplies and supplies!"

Gao Kan licked his lips and made a suggestion.

Now it is no longer a question of who will go to war first. Dadu set up a large army to hunt down the Turkic people. Now that he has penetrated dozens of miles into the border of the Tang Dynasty, crossed the Eyang Ridge and approached the Yanmen Pass, he has already violated the bottom line of the Tang Dynasty. Faced with a head-on blow, what face does Datang have to stand up in front of those attached barbarians?

If you can kill this Xue Yantuo people, it will be considered a great achievement...

"I can't run fast anyway?" Xue Rengui murmured again, his eyes lit up, he looked up at the sky, and ordered: "Although I am not afraid of field battles with Xue Yantuo, there must be casualties. Why not use your own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses?" ? Send the order that the whole army abandon the city and leave from the east gate, make a detour and arrive at the Baidaochuan Pass before the Xue Yantuo people, without delay!"

Gao Kan was taken aback for a moment, but immediately reacted, and raised his thumb: "The general has a good plan!"

Suddenly remembered something, and asked: "It is said that the governor of Shanyu Dufu, Shi, sent by the imperial court, is about to arrive in Mayi, and perhaps in Dingxiang soon, will he take the opportunity to make trouble?"

Dingxiang City is the place where Chanyu's Duhufu is located, and Shanyu's governor is Ashina Simo.

Although Xue Yantuo invaded the border, he never used force. The imperial court feared that a war with Xue Yantuo would affect the plan of the Eastern Expedition.Even before Fang Jun came to Mayi, he was ordered by His Majesty Li Er not to provoke disputes.

What if the long history of the Shanyu Duhu Mansion came to Dingxiang and found that it was just an empty city, and the whole Monan was almost a mess, and the forces of all parties were fighting each other, completely deviated from the strategy formulated by the court, and added fuel and jealousy in a rage Reporting to the emperor, I am afraid that everyone from Fang Jun and below will have no good fruit to eat...

Xue Rengui sneered disdainfully: "The long history of Shanyu Dufu's mansion? Humph, don't worry about what he will say, first of all, he has to have the opportunity to come to Dingxiang City..."

Gao Kan doesn't know who the long history of Shanyu Duhu's mansion is, how can Xue Rengui not know?

Although that Xiao Siye is a descendant of the Xiao family and has an in-law relationship with Fang Jun, Xue Rengui knows that that fellow has made Fang Jun a little difficult in the Xiao family, and according to Fang Jun's temperament, he will not tease him for the sake of relatives Even if death is a rare thing, you still want to come to Dingxiang City to dominate and give orders?
I want to drop the beauty...

"Don't worry so much, follow orders!"

"promise!"

Gao Kan didn't ask any more questions, since he had fulfilled his duty of reminder, how to make a decision is the Shangguan's business, and he doesn't need to think about it.

Dang even hurriedly turned around and went down the city wall, gathered his soldiers, and prepared to set off.

The Xue Yantuo people carry a lot of luggage, so it is impossible to march quickly. It is better to arrive at the Baidaochuan Mountain Pass before them to make an ambush, block the Xue Yantuo people's way back to Mobei, occupy a favorable terrain and wait for the Xue Yantuo people to attack. Is the effect of field battles in the wilderness better?
Anyway, Bai Daochuan must be firmly in the hands of Tang Jun!

Immediately Xue Rengui also got off the city wall, stepped on his horse, and led [-] cavalry out of the city from the east gate, took a big turn, but still arrived at Baidaochuan Pass ahead of Xue Yantuo who was marching slowly.

The whole night has passed...

Before dawn, the heavy snow finally stopped, the dark clouds in the sky have cleared, and the morning light is slightly dewed. Standing at the mountain pass and looking at Baidaochuan, there is a vast expanse of whiteness.

"Bai Dao" is in the north of Chilechuan, not far from the abandoned capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Shengle. The majestic and steep Daqing Mountain stands here, lying across the entire Yinshan Mountains, separating the north and the south.However, there is no unparalleled road in the sky, and in this dangerous place, there is a mountain and river named "Bai Daochuan".

The residents who have lived here for generations have forcibly carved out a passage with their own hands. The soil that opened the mountain is white-gray, and they use it to pave the road. In spring and summer, the road is lined with lush green hills, and the road is monologue, hence the name.The white road twists and turns, stretches for tens of miles, and coils around Daqing Mountain, like a long centipede crawling from the mountainside to the high mountain top.

There are remains of the city wall on the mountain, which is the Great Wall built by King Wuling of Zhao.

During the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou dynasties, the Turks arose in the grasslands of Mobei and nomadic to the south, expelling the Chile tribes from Monan, and the Chile River south of Baidao was also called Baidaochuan.

Baidao is located on the Daqing Mountain where the dragon and the tiger are hidden. The Daqing Mountain is tall and straight, and the terrain is dangerous.

In the third to fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing, Xu Shiji and others led more than [-] soldiers to join forces at Baidaochuan, defeated the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan at Baidaokou, and defeated the Eastern Turks in one fell swoop.

Xue Rengui stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the snow-covered Baidaokou, and waved his hands.

After waving the flag behind them, groups of soldiers rode their horses to take advantage of the dark sky, and the horses carried bits, silently followed the mountain road towards the not spacious mountain pass.
