Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2048
"Chilechuan, under the Yin Mountain. The sky is like a dome, covering the surrounding fields. The sky is blue and the fields are vast. When the wind blows and the grass looks low, you can see cattle and sheep!"

This song is sung in Mobei, which barbarian doesn't know how plump Chilechuan is?
Such a land with rich water and grass was first occupied by the Xianbei people, and then by the Turkic people. The rest of the Hu people could only look at the green grass and the clouds of cattle and sheep on the Chile River from a distance, dreaming that they could live in this land. Grazing!

This time Xue Yantuo sent troops to Monan, the main purpose is to make peace with the Tang Dynasty, and to eat Chilechuan from the Eastern Turks!

If Chile Chuan was in hand, the entire Xueyantuo Khanate would be crazy about it, and who would blame Dadu for the defeat?
Not only can it not be blamed, but it is also a great credit.

Dadu set a scarred heart a little bit alive, looked around, but sighed again.

He really wanted to occupy Dingxiang City, but the soldiers in front of him were all listless, and their war weariness had already flooded. They just thought about returning to Mobei as soon as possible. How could they have the energy and morale to go to Dingxiang City with him?
If the order is forcibly ordered, I am afraid that the team will disperse if they go halfway...

Xue Yantuo cavalry seems to be strong, but basically there is no military discipline to speak of. Whenever there is a war, males are recruited from various tribes to form an army. Among them, Xue Yantuo's own warriors are less than half. However, in times of adversity, the cohesion is too poor.

Dadu set it up to say that if he insisted on going to Dingxiang City at this moment, someone would turn around and leave on the spot.

That's all...

Dadu set up a long sigh, with a frustrated look on his face: "The military spirit is so high, what can we do? Forget it, we will bypass Dingxiang City, go straight to Baidaokou, pass through Baidao, and return to Mobei."

He knew that all ambitions of great ambitions disappeared in this battle. After returning to Mobei Yazhang, he would be severely punished by his father Khan. Shame, there is no chance of gaining a foothold in Khan.

Youqu Shuai was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "What about our camp?"

Xue Yantuo's camp is still in the north of Dingxiang City, and Tuo Mozhi is stationed there waiting for everyone to go back. What if they bypass Dingxiang City and go straight to Baidaokou, what will happen to the camp?
The Tang army who came after them easily surrounded Tumozhi in the camp...

Dadu said helplessly: "Tumozhi is my brother, how can I want to see him trapped in the Tang army's siege? But look at everyone's state and strength, if we go to the North Camp of Dingxiang City, how can there be any danger?" Do you have the strength to get rid of the Tang army's pursuit and retreat back to Baidaokou? Instead of destroying the whole army together, it is better to go your own way and send someone to send a letter to Tumozhi, and the rest is fate."

The words are easy to say, but the implication is to abandon Tuo Mozhi, let it become a bait to attract the Tang army, and help the army get rid of the Tang army's pursuit...

What he did was unethical, but his own life was at stake. How could Shuai Qu present say anything to refute?
Well, whether it's life or death, Tumozhi, please ask for blessings...

Tu Midu didn't dare to say too much.

Right now, not only is Dadu set up, but he has no intention of fighting for victory and turning the tide of defeat, these handsome men have been killed, everyone just wants to go back to Mobei quickly, and then put the responsibility for the defeat on Dadu set up Push, go back to each house, find each mother.

I only hated myself for listening to Zhao Deyan's words and encouraging Dadu to go deep into the Tang realm. Although it caused Dadu to lose his soldiers and generals, he didn't get any benefits from returning to the Hehe iron cavalry. Nearly half of the damage was lost in the battle, and he couldn't breathe in pain...

Dadu tightened the cloak on his body, the arrow wound on the shoulder blades had already caused half of his body to go numb, if he couldn't find a warm and clean place to bandage and tidy up the wound, his life would be considered a confession.It is shameful to lose a war, but after all, you still have to live, right?

As the son of the Barbarian Khan, even if he can no longer lead the army and get his hands on the position of the Khan, the beauties of the various tribes on the grassland have to enjoy it by themselves...

"Let's go, hurry to Baidaokou, in case something changes!"

"promise!"

More than [-] Xue Yantuo cavalry, who were gutted by the Tang Army's Mo Dao formation, gathered troops under the leadership of Da Du, and fled northward on the vast snowy field in the dark, intending to reach the Baidaokou, and then cross the Baidao back to Mobei , recuperate.

Few cold stars flickered in the sky, and the snow had stopped, but the howling north wind blew across the unstoppable field, sweeping and flying the snow in the lower places, raging unscrupulously.

*****
Tumozhi led the Xueyantuo cavalry stationed in the camp to retreat to the north in an orderly manner. As long as they returned to Baidaokou, the situation was under Tumozhi's control.

He has a calm personality and is usually very low-key. He does not have a strong sense of presence in the Khanate.

But this does not mean that his mind is worse than others...

On the contrary, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and developing insignificantly, is the purpose of Dumozhi.

There is no doubt that Yinan Khan is Xue Yantuo's hero. It was under the unification of Yinan Khan's strong wrist that Xue Yantuo was able to unite the tribes of Tiele and ascend to the position of leader. When the Tang Dynasty fell, it replaced it and became the overlord of the grassland.

All Xue Yantuo people benefited from this, and the Khan's position as a Khan was as solid as gold and unshakable.

However, just like those historical heros of the Han people who were vigorous and ambitious when they were young, but indulged in pleasure and bewildered in their later years, the barbarian Khan in recent years has gradually become self-willed and violent, which caused Tie Le. Ministry dissatisfaction.

But the hero is the hero, no matter how stupid he is, he also has a vision of the world that is difficult for others to match.

Feeling the dissatisfaction of the tribes of Tiele, and even the disobedience of some tribes such as Huihe, Yinan Khan did not want to be disturbed by these tribes when he established his reserve, so he sent a large number of troops Leading tens of thousands of troops out of Baidao, he went south to Dingxiang, intending to threaten Datang to agree to a marriage, and use the power of Datang to subdue internal dissidents.

But Tumozhi understands that Yinan Khan's intention is to "threat Datang to agree to make peace", and Chen Bing's border is fine. If the situation is favorable, it is ideal to take the opportunity to nibble at Chilechuan, but it is absolutely not possible to go to war with Datang head-on!
Still counting on the power of Datang to suppress internal disobedience, how can you offend Datang?
Once the two countries go to war, regardless of the outcome, all forces within Xue Yantuo will not let go of this golden opportunity, and will jump out one after another to resist the rule of the barbarian Khan.

With the Great Tang on the outside and dissidents on the inside, the Xueyantuo Khanate may stand still, and the Yinan Khan is not so easy to be kicked out of power, but there are bound to be sudden changes in the battle for the reserve position.

A low-key person may not be without ambition. Duomozhi must ensure that his strength is intact, and then return to the tooth tent, waiting for changes in the battle for storage positions, and waiting for the opportunity to move.

"Shuai Qu, we'll be at Baidaokou soon!"

A scout came on horseback and reported the military situation to Tuo Mozhi: "Do you want to stay there and wait for the second prince, or cross the White Road overnight and return to Mobei?"

Dadu set off on the orders of the Khan, and was the commander in chief. Abandoning the commander and returning to Mobei on his own, is it any different from running away?
Even if Tuomozhi now wished he could grow wings and fly back to Governor Yu's mountain tent...

Shaking his head, he said: "Don't worry, after all, we have to wait for the second prince to return to the north together, order to go down, and when we arrive at Baidaokou, we will stay there and make a fire to make food."

"promise!"

The scout rode away and rushed to the front army to deliver orders.

Du Mozhi rode on the horse, slowly advancing with the army, looking back to the south, his heart was full of longing.

He really hoped that Dadu would be tougher and more domineering, and after catching up with the Turkic people, kill them all, and then attack Yanmen Pass without stopping!
Of course, Tumozhi was not optimistic about this courageous cousin, if another cousin Bazhuo were here, he might do such a thing.

It's not that Ba Zhuo's courage is far superior to Dadu's, but that Ba Zhuo is violent and cruel, and he has a single tendon...

As for the massacre of Turks?

Tumozhi disagreed.

Tianda's achievements are also incomparable to the crime of going deep into the territory of the Tang Dynasty and destroying the relationship between Xue Yantuo and the Tang Dynasty!

What's more, the Tang army has always been arrogant and treats the barbarians on the grassland as nothing, so how can they ignore Dadu set going deep into the country to hunt down allies?
If it provokes the Tang army to start a war, it would be perfect...

Tuo Mozhi was already imagining how shocked and terrified Dujun Shan's Yazhang would be if the two countries went to war, how turbulent the situation would become, and how intricate and full of variables the battle for the position would be.

Looking back, the majestic figure of Daqingshan in front of you is crawling under the night.

There is a conspicuous gap in the middle of the mountain ridge, which is as towering as the back of the sky, and there is a passage for the Hu people of Mobei to cross the Yinshan Mountains...

A fierce howl came faintly in the howling north wind, causing Dumozhi on the horse's face to change drastically.

"what happened?"

Staring at the scouts who came to report back, Du Mozhi asked loudly.

The scout trembled on the horse, and said in panic: "Reporting to Commander Qu, the Tang army came from nowhere and captured Baidaokou. All the troops we stayed here were killed. Now the Tang army is at Baidaokou. We can't get through..."

Du Mozhi's face was pale.
