A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 174
Weibei, Yunyang.

Xieli sat in the tent a little irritable. The slave brought up the freshly stewed mutton. The sheep that ate a lot of crops and grains of the people of the Tang Dynasty was very fat. Jieli took a knife and cut a piece, but it was tasteless.

"Has Simo not come back yet?"

"Not yet." An attached wolf guard replied.

"Salt, how can there be no salt in eating meat!" Jie Li cut another piece of mutton to eat, but immediately spit it out and yelled at the slave, "Damn slave, pull it out and chop it up."

Two fierce wolf guards came in and dragged out the frightened Han slave who begged for mercy, ignoring his pleas at all.

"Damn it, everyone should be killed." Xie Li cursed angrily.

The guard sent fine green salt, but it still didn't calm him down.

After waiting until the sun went down, someone finally came back from Chang'an. It was not Simo who came back, but just one of his followers.

"Where's Simo?"

The entourage reported with a mournful face, "Jabitqin was left behind by the Tang emperor, and he was given the surname Li." As he spoke, he handed over a letter, saying it was an imperial edict from the Tang emperor.

Jieli looked at the envoy with big eyes, "was it detained by Li Shimin, or did Simo leave it behind?"

The entourage said he was detained, but Jie Li didn't believe him, and asked the guards to drag him down and chop him up.

"Khan calm down!"

A female voice sounded outside the tent, and then a woman came in. In the prairie wind of the Turkic sweat tent, she was in the palace costume of the Han Dynasty, with a long-sleeved shirt and a silk drape, especially the high bun. It is very different from the Turkic woman who followed behind her.

"Kedun!" A group of attached wolf guards saluted the woman.

This woman is none other than Turkic Ketun, Princess Yicheng who was pro-Turkic during the Sui Dynasty. She has been in the grassland for nearly 30 years and married Qimin, Shibi, Chuluo, and Jieli. Not small.

"Damn Hu bastard Simo!" Jie Li was very polite to Yang. At the time when Chuluo Khan died suddenly on the road to the Southern Expedition to the Tang Dynasty, it was Princess Yicheng who supported him to become a profuse khan, and did not choose to support Chuluo. The son touched the end.

"Ben Khan knew long ago that the Sima Husbands could not be trusted. Seeing that the situation was not good, he actually took refuge in the Tang people and even changed his surname,"

Yang took Xieli's hand and sat back with him.

"Great Khan, drink a cup of milk tea first." She poured out Jieli's wine and replaced it with a cup of thick milk tea, "Simo is the brother of Da Khan, both great-grandsons of Tumen Khan, a noble blue Turk, After several dynasties, he has been loyal to the Turks, and it is not the first time he has been sent to the Central Plains. Now my Turks are strong and strong, and the Great Khan treats him well. How could he go to vote for the Tang people? The Great Khan must be separated by the Tang people plan."

After Yang finished speaking, she picked up the letter that Li Shimin asked to bring back, and opened it.

"Hmph, it's a small trick, and I want to make a big sweat out of it."

Xie Li's anger was calmed down by Yang's words, "Li Shimin has detained Si Li, Simo, and Jie Jieer one after another. Does he really want to talk to us, and is going to kill us?"

The Yang family has been in the grassland for 26 years, married four fathers, sons and brothers. She has also changed from the delicate princess of the Sui Dynasty clan to a strong and aggressive grassland Kedun.

The Sui Dynasty collapsed, but the Yang family asked people to take Empress Xiao and her grandson Yang Zhengdao back to Saibei from Dou Jiande, and persuaded Luo Khan at that time to support Yang Zhengdao as King of the Sui Dynasty, and to replace Dingxiang County in the north. , Assigned to Yang Zhengdao, alloted the Central Plains officials and people captured by the Turks to Yang Zhengdao's governance, restored the Sui regime, set up hundreds of officials, and supported more than [-] people.

She even persuaded Chuluo Khan to play the banner of respecting the Sui Dynasty and restoring the Sui Dynasty, and sent troops to capture Bingzhou to resettle Yang Zhengdao.

Although with the death of Chuluo Khan, Yang's plan to restore the Sui Dynasty came to an end without a problem, but after Yang helped Li Jieli to become a khan, he continued to blow his pillow and persuade him to send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty again and again.

The fiercer the abrupt beating, the happier Mrs. Yang was.

She didn't panic at all when Li Shimin refused the peace talks, and she was even very excited inside.Li Tang destroys Sui, she will destroy Tang and restore Sui, as for those who died, she doesn't care at all.

She was in her teens and was close to the outside of the Great Wall, and her mission was to defend the Sui Dynasty. Now the Sui Dynasty in the Central Plains has perished, but she is not dead yet, and still retains the incense of the Sui Dynasty in Dingxiang.

"Khan, Li Shimin is just deceiving us. We beat him to the city of Chang'an. He has no strength to fight us. The longer we delay, the worse it will be for them."

"The autumn wind is getting colder, and winter is coming soon. Our cattle and sheep have eaten so much grain and wheat. Now they are fat and strong, and they can survive the cold winter better than those in Saibei. We have also harvested enough grain, so we don't have to worry about it at all." This winter. But Li Shimin in Chang’an City will have a hard time. Chang’an’s food prices are soaring and there is a shortage of food.

At that time, we don't have to attack Chang'an City at all, they will freeze to death and starve to death countless times, and then the wide Weihe River will form a thick layer of ice. Our cavalry can easily step across the glacier, enter the south bank of the Weihe River, and The hard bones of those Tang Dynasty spirit covers were smashed one by one..."

"Wait, it's Li Shimin who is in Tang Dynasty, not us."

"Even if they can survive this long cold winter, Chang'an will become a dead city if there is no greenery next spring, just like Luoyang a few years ago, and it will eventually surrender without a fight."

"At that time, the Great Khan can directly use Chang'an City as a winter palace, and use the eight hundred miles of Guanzhong Plain as the best pasture..."

This kind of bewitchment made Jieli's face flushed and he was very excited.

"Li Jing went to Jingzhou, Fan Xing stayed in Binzhou, Chai Shao followed to Qizhou, Xue Wanche stayed in Longzhou, An Xiuren stationed in Yizhou, Qin Qiong stationed in Xianyang, Yu Chigong stationed in Jingyang, Cheng Yaojin stationed in Gaoling······
Li Shimin is still very good at fighting with troops. Now many Tang troops are gathered in Guanzhong, and the encirclement is getting closer and closer, and there are a lot of them. "Jie Li was still a little guilty.

Although he won the battle of Taigu last year, which can be regarded as washing away the shame of being forced to withdraw troops from the invasion of Guanzhong the year before, but this year's invasion of Guanzhong was not very good. Hexi and Longyou performed very poorly and harassed them wantonly, but they failed to really hurt the local Tang army. On the contrary, Yu Sheshe was eaten by Chai Shao about [-] people.

The Tuyuhun people of the Jielimu clan were also useless, and those beaten by Chai Shao begged for peace.

Kang Sumi used to play forward with 2 people, but the Tang people seized the opportunity to kill and capture [-].

In the face of those famous Tang army generals, and Li Shimin who personally commanded in Chang'an City, Jieli actually didn't think about a decisive battle with the Tang army at first, he just wanted to plunder, rush into the most fertile Guanzhong Plain, and ruthlessly Grab it fiercely, take advantage of the internal turmoil in Li Tanggang's palace, and soldiers approach the city of Chang'an, and then blackmail Li Shimin severely.

His plan was also supported by many Turkic nobles such as Tuli, Yusheshe, Shaboluoshe, etc., and they all wanted to go south to grab it fiercely and go back to have a good year.

But now Li Shimin actually refuses to eat salt and oil.

They have also suffered losses one after another, which can be tolerated, but there are already many complaints.

"Khan, calm down. We are in an invincible position. We can attack when we advance, and we can defend when we retreat. What are you afraid of? No matter how many Tang troops have, how many can we fight? As long as we don't attack Chang'an by force, then within eight hundred miles On the plain, does Tang Jun dare to fight us on the plain?
We have a hundred thousand light cavalry, come from like the wind, and fight in the field?They are asking for their own death. "

"If you don't accept it, then spend it. Let's see who can't spend it. If the people of Tang Dynasty dare to leave the city to fight in the field, then let them die. We will use their corpses to warm the fire!"

Xie Li took a sip of the milk tea from his teacup, and felt much more at ease.

"That white-robed chief really deserves to be killed. He has ruined my good deeds time and time again, but this time he was so vigilant and allowed him to escape. It's really hateful."

"A mere low-level boy of the imperial guards, what's the point of sweating? The monk can't escape the temple if he escapes. This time he escaped, but when Chang'an is destroyed, how can he die? At that time, the sweat will be killed and cut. Don't you just listen and respect?"

Xieli said fiercely: "Ben Khan must capture him alive, then break his kneecaps and make him a crawling slave in my tent... Hahaha," he thought Xieli was very happy with that scene.

"It's a pity that the mysterious palm thunder will not be available for a while, it's hateful, really hateful!"

Mrs. Yang smiled, "I heard that Wu Huaiyu's house is not far from Sanyuan Longqiao. If Da Khan is dissatisfied, he can send a cavalry to uproot the Longqiao, which can be regarded as venting his anger. Anyway, Longqiao is nothing more than a village.

Slaughtering Longqiao Fort can be regarded as a response to Li Shimin's detention of our envoy. "

Jieli nodded.

"Okay, let's do it like this, come here, and call for a jinwu to come."

Ashi Dewu was summoned without Chujin. This man has a big arm and a round waist and a big belly. He has been staying in Weibei every day for the past few days.

"Sweat!"

"Wu Meichuu, I've given you a task to command 5000 troops from your headquarters, move them to Sanyuan, and destroy Sanyuan Longqiao Fort for me."

"Khan, who is stationed at Longqiao Fort, and how many soldiers and horses are there?"

"There is no general of the Tang army, no garrison, just a village, but this village is the hometown of the white-robed chief. I want you to trample him down and send everyone back as prisoners."

"Big Khan, why do you need so many horses in a mere village? Just sending three to five hundred light cavalry is enough."

Wu Meichu's surname is Ashid, which is one of the blue Turkic tribes of the core headquarters of the Turks, and is also the family of the Khan King Ashina who has been married for generations.

Wu Meichu's name is actually the first two characters Wumei, and Chu is an official position handed down from the Rouran era on the grassland, similar to the commander-in-chief of the Central Plains.

And jin means the tribal chief, and this Asdew Wuchu is actually a chief of the Asdek tribe, who served as the general manager under Jieli's account. He has 5000 men and horses under his command, and about [-] fine riders. The old and young, women and children who follow the enlistment.

Anyway, when they went south to plunder, they took all the animals with them, drove the cattle and sheep, and grazed and robbed wherever they went.

"The Ben Khan in Sanyuan County is allotted to you to plunder, and the people, livestock, money and silk we get from the plundering, each of us has half." Xie Li said impatiently.

Ashi Dewu didn't sip, hehe smiled, but still bargained, and finally agreed that the land in Sanyuan County should be plundered by Wumibu, and three points would go to Jieli, one point would go to Wumu, and the rest would be one point. Give them the warriors of the Horde.

"Taking Longqiao Fort, remember not to kill those people, Ben Khan will live."

"Please don't worry, Khan, within three days, I promise to win the Dragon Bridge Fort!" Wu Meichu was full of confidence.
