bastard seizes tang

Chapter 100 Su Lie worships the Lord
The 20 troops marched out from the frontier of the northern line to attack the city and seize the territory, and the Turkic tribes, who were already discordant, surrendered in anticipation.

Li Jing's army passed Yanmen Pass at the end of September and left Daizhou in the north. By mid-October, in less than a month, there were nine Turkic troops on the southern Turkic line, and together they led more than [-] men to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Lost ground hundreds of miles south.

When the news came from Yinshan Mountain, Jieli in the Khan court couldn't sit still anymore.

"In just one month, the south of Yinshan Mountain lost a hundred miles. Are they all a bunch of waste!" Jie Li took the battle report sent from Yinshan Mountain and threw it heavily on the ground, facing Yinshan Coach Yaer who was kneeling on the ground. golden way.

Yaerjin knelt down on the ground, looked at Jieli who was sitting on the head furiously, and carefully replied: "The Tang army is powerful, and the soldiers are divided. Insufficient, difficult to care from beginning to end, please forgive me Khan."

Yaerjin is Jieli's confidant, and has been stationed in Yinshan on behalf of Jieli, confronting the Tang army in Daizhou. There has been nothing wrong in these years, but this time he fell into a big fall.

In fact, Yarjin is not to be blamed for this big defeat. On the one hand, the Turkic tribes south of Yinshan Mountain are not in harmony, and the leaders of each tribe have their own ghosts. How Erkin responded.

On the other hand, this time Yalkin is facing a very different person than in the past. In the past, Zhang Gongjin was stationed in Daizhou, and it was his subordinates who guarded Yanmen Pass, but now in the Northern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty, it is the famous general Li Jing in Yanmen Pass. How could these two be on the same page?

With Li Jing's military accomplishments, it is reasonable for Yalkin not to be his opponent.

"Tang Jun is cunning, he actually took advantage of our emptiness to enter." Jieli heard the words, patted the table in front of him heavily, and said bitterly.

The Tang army took advantage of the weak Turkic power and marched northward to take advantage of the danger, but Jie Li was probably the most unqualified person in the world to say this.

In the ninth year of Wude, why did Jieli go south to take advantage of the chaos in the Xuanwu Gate and the internal and external difficulties of the Tang Dynasty?

Taking advantage of your illness and killing you, this can be regarded as the Tang Dynasty's retaliation.

Zhao Deyan, who was beside Jieli, said to Jieli at the right time: "Khan, the Tang army is coming so fiercely that they broke through Yunzhong and Mayi in just a few days. If we let it go like this, I am afraid that the whole of Monan will no longer be owned by our Turks. .”

When Zhao Deyan said that, Jieli panicked even more.

In the past few years, the reason why the Turks were able to stabilize the Tang Dynasty was because of the Turks' geographical advantages.

In the west, the Turks had Shuofang as their base, and went deep into the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, which could be used for going south.In the east, the Turks have Yunzhong, Mayi, and Dingxiang as barriers, shielding the northeast and containing the soldiers of Taiyuan.

But now Shuofang has been lost for a long time, and Yunzhong and Mayi are newly trapped. If Dingxiang is lost again, the Yinshan land will be difficult to defend, and the Turks will be completely exposed in front of the Tang army like a woman in tulle.

If I lose Qilian Mountain, my animals will not live; if I lose Yanzhi Mountain, my married woman will have no color.

The Yin Mountain stretches from east to west, separating Shuobei from the grassland. The Yin Mountain is to the Turks no less than the Qilian Mountain and Yanzhi Mountain are to the Xiongnu.

After hearing Zhao Deyan's words, Jieli clenched his fists tightly, and said to the Turkic dignitaries in the tent, "The first battle of Yinshan is very important, and there is no room for loss. This Khan is determined to conquer by himself and move the sweat tent to Yinshan. We must fight Li Jing." Up or down."

The Prairie Eagle, who is over fifty years old, has been cornered by Datang's six-way army, and finally decides to give it a go.

In comparison, the present Xieli is better than Yang Guang in his later years. Yang Guang was living in Jiangdu, and he only wanted to cut the Yangtze River and Huaihe Rivers to protect himself and enjoy himself in Yangzhou, but Xieli still had the courage to fight to the death.

--------

Jie Li of Khan Court wanted to complete his work in one battle, personally conquered Yinshan Mountain, and completely blocked Li Jing's army to the south of Yinshan Mountain. At the same time, Li Ke, who was herding sheep in Yinshan Mountain, was not idle.

As the Turkic Qingqi continued to cross the Yinshan Mountains and went southward recently, Li Ke gradually heard the news that the Tang Army's Northern Expedition was already a certainty.

After hearing the news, even if Li Ke was in the best mood, he no longer had the heart to shepherd the sheep.

"Dingfang has followed this king to the north for three years." At sunset that day, Li Ke and Su Dingfang were practicing martial arts with Su Dingfang. Li Ke suddenly put down the wooden spear in his hand and asked.

Su Dingfang thought that Li Ke would suddenly ask such a question, and he didn't know Li Ke's intentions, but he still replied truthfully: "The last general has been serving as the Dianjun of His Highness's Marriage Palace since the ninth year of Wude, and followed His Highness to the north. It has been three years."

"Three years, it's not too short. In the prime of life, there may be several three years." Li Ke looked at Su Dingfang and sighed with emotion.

Li Ke then asked: "How old is Ding Fang this year?"

Su Dingfang still replied truthfully: "At the end of the year, there will be six out of thirty."

Li Ke said: "Thirty to six, the general has passed his thirties. But the general is full of strategy, but he is still serving as a guard by my king's side in this thirties. Is the general willing?"

Su Dingfang listened to Li Ke's words, didn't understand, and hurriedly said: "The last general is a surrendered general, but he has to be ordered by His Majesty to protect His Highness going north. This is the duty and honor of the last general."

Li Ke said with a smile: "Li Ji, the governor of Bingzhou, is about the same age as the general, but he is already a second-rank official and guarding one side. Compared with the general, what is the difference?"

Su Dingfang is about the same age as Li Ji, but now Li Ji is a local official, while Su Dingfang is still a low-level general. Su Dingfang was speechless.

Li Kefei is a mean person, Su Dingfang knew that he would never ask this question to humiliate himself.

Su Dingfang was stunned for a while, before saying: "The general is stupid, and I hope His Highness will give me advice."

Li Ke replied: "Opportunity, when it comes to strategy, the general is also the best in the world. The choice of the moment, the talent, the king believes that there is no shortage of generals, and the lack of generals is opportunity."

Li Kezhi's words caught his ears, Su Dingfang looked at Li Ke blankly, opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, so he closed it again.

Su Dingfang himself didn't know these truths, but what could he do, once he surrendered, who would give him a chance?

Seeing Su Ding's bitter expression, Li Ke knew that he had understood what he meant, so he said to Su Ding, "In troubled times, it's time for military ministers to stand out. Where to go, but if you want to go to the border, it is not easy if there is no one in the court."

If Su Dingfang couldn't understand Li Ke's words to this point, then he would be really an idiot.

Su Dingfang followed Li Ke for three years, facing the young man in front of him, he did not dare to treat him the same way he treated a young man.

Seeing that Su Ding was hesitant, Li Ke took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Su Dingfang: "This king has a promotion rank in front of you. Whether you accept it or not is up to you." between."

Su Dingfang stared down at the letter in Li Ke's hand for a long time, as if he was struggling with something.

After a while, Su Dingfang gritted his teeth, and suddenly said: "Thanks to His Highness's promotion, the general is willing to die!"
