bastard seizes tang

Chapter 103
"Thus the three armies can seize the spirit, and the general can seize the heart."

"Thus those who make good use of soldiers, avoid their sharpness, and attack their lazy return, this is also the one who controls Qi."

The words of morale have nothing to do with soldiers, people, and dangers. It sounds absurd, but it is related to the outcome of World War I to a great extent.However, in the art of war and the classics of military strategists, the words of morale cannot be avoided between the lines.

The Turkic people could not stop attacking the city for a day, and their morale was already low. Coupled with Li Kezhi's words before the battle, the morale of the Tang army suddenly rose, and the morale of the two armies was no longer the same.

When the Tang army broke out from Heng'an City, the Turkic soldiers were unprepared for a while, and were caught off guard by being killed.

The 10 troops under Jieli's command were scattered by the Tang army, killing and injuring tens of thousands of people, forcing Jieli to withdraw his troops.

When Xieli withdrew his troops all the way and returned to Dingxiang City in shock, Xieli's face was already extremely ugly.

"Zhu Zi dares to play with Ben Khan, could it be that Ben Khan dares not kill you!" Jieli shouted angrily as he put the knife across Li Ke's neck on the Khan court.

At this time, Li Ke knew that as long as Jieli wanted to kill him, even if he knelt down and begged for mercy now, Jieli would never let Li Ke go.

Li Ke looked at Xieli, raised his head and said, "Khan is the lord of the grassland. He dared to kill me, but Khan forced me to die. Could it be that Li Ke is really afraid of death?"

Ke is not afraid of death, but why is he afraid of death.

If Li Ke knelt down and begged for mercy, Jieli would naturally despise him and even kill him, but when Li Ke did this, Jieli was taken aback for a moment.

Zhao Deyan saw that Jie Li put the saber on Li Ke's neck, and came to Jie Li's side, and said to Jie Li: "Protons are useless, and it is a waste of our army's food and grass to keep them left and right. Why not kill them and sacrifice the flag to stand up?" My Turkic prestige frightens the people of Tang Dynasty."

Regarding Zhao Deyan's position, Li Ke has always been unclear. Sometimes he makes peace with Li Ke, and even speaks for him, helping him inadvertently, but sometimes he turns against him. so.

But this time, Xieli did not obey Zhao Deyan as usual. This time, Xieli had lost patience and trust in Zhao Deyan.

"boom!"

There was hardly any sign, and beyond everyone's expectations, Jieli kicked Zhao Deyan hard, kicking Zhao Deyan to the ground.

"I just listened to your words today, and now I'm in the current situation, and I'm still making noise here!" Jieli pointed at Zhao Deyan who was lying on the ground.

Xieli's kick came so suddenly, Zhao Deyan never expected that Xieli, who had always trusted him, would kick him so suddenly.

Zhao Deyan was also shocked by this sudden scene, severe pain came from Zhao Deyan's abdomen, Zhao Deyan hugged his stomach, and fell on the ground like a shrimp.

"Khan calm down, what Li Ke did was indeed a villain's mistake." Zhao Deyan said to Jieli, supporting himself.

Jieli looked at Zhao Deyan lying on the ground, and glared at Zhao Deyan. Obviously, no matter whether Zhao Deyan's words were reasonable or not, a big mistake had already been made, and Zhao Deyan might have been greatly discounted in Xieli's heart.

Wang Xuance, who was brought back here with Li Ke, saw Xieli's reaction, and he knew that his chance had come.

Wang Xuance stepped forward and said to Jieli: "The battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks today is just a dispute between the two countries in Hexi, not a life-and-death enmity. Why should Khan do everything? Khan must know, our Tang Dynasty The Turkic enemy is far more than one Turkic enemy, and the Turkic enemy is not only my Tang Dynasty, if the two countries form a feud because of Zhao Deyan's words, and waste their troops on the southern line of Yinshan Mountain, others will benefit."

Wang Xuance is good at vertical and horizontal methods, and his judgment on the current situation is naturally accurate.

In fact, the battle has reached this point, and Xieli no longer has the desire to continue fighting.

In the first battle of Heng'an, Jieli's [-] troops came out. It was already Khan Ting and Yinshan's generation that he was able to mobilize almost all of his troops. Jieli failed to take Heng'an in this battle, and it would be very difficult to take it down in the future.

Turkic has been snowing heavily for years, and the food and grass in Xieli's army is already insufficient. They can last for another two months at most.

And just as Wang Xuance said, the Turks have more than one enemy, the Great Tang. They are to the west and north of the Turks. , even if he regained Mayi and Yunzhong in the end, his rear would be hollowed out.

Jieli, who retreated to Dingxiang City, already wanted to seek peace.

Three years ago, taking advantage of Li Shimin's unsteady throne, Xieli invaded the Tang Dynasty in the south and formed an alliance with the Weishui River. The revenge of the year.

After all, since the Turks ruled the prairie, there has never been any difficulty in destroying the country. The former Sui Dynasty was so strong that it failed to suppress the Turks for decades. His Turkic roots.

In fact, whether or not to kill Li Ke has little impact on the current situation. Even a living Li Ke is worth much more than a dead Li Ke.

Although Wang Xuance didn't say much, only a short sentence, but it hit the point and moved Xieli.

Seeing this, Ashina Simo said to Jieli: "Khan, if you kill Li Ke again at this time, I'm afraid it will not benefit the battle situation, but it will boost the morale of the Tang army."

Xieli has already seen the influence of Li Ke in Heng'an City. If he really killed Li Ke today, he would be digging a hole for himself.

And even if he killed Li Ke, what if he used it to sacrifice the flag and stand up?Taking a young man's head as a sacrifice to the flag is probably not going to play a role in establishing prestige. Instead of doing this, it is better to keep him. If this battle continues like this, it will not be good for the Turks. A bargaining chip in the Datang peace talks.

"You mean to keep Li Ke first?" Xieli asked Ashina Simo beside him.

Ashina Simo replied: "It's mid-autumn now, and winter will come in a month or so. When winter comes, it will be inconvenient for the army to fight. It won't be too late for Khan to deal with Li Ke."

Although the climate in the south of Yinshan Mountain is much better than that in the north of Yinshan Mountain, once winter comes, the mountains will still be covered by heavy snow. At that time, the battle will be over, and the Turks will have a chance to breathe.

Although Jieli is arrogant, in recent years Turkic internal and external troubles have smoothed his temperament a lot. Now that Turkic power is not as good as others, Jieli can only swallow his sulk for the time being.

Kill but not kill, let go but not let go, Jieli thought for a moment, then ordered the guards behind him: "Bring Li Ke and others back to Yinshan and guard them strictly, no one is allowed to release Li Ke without the order of Ben Khan. "
