BXBX NOVEL Chapter 331: Calculate each other
Li Shimin frowned deeply. The Turkic soldiers used strange and tricky methods. Everyone thought they would attack Huaiyuan first, but when they arrived in Huaiyuan, they realized that this was just a suspicious Turkic soldier. The real Turkic main force had already arrived. Arriving in Lingzhou, almost overnight, Lingzhou was besieged by 200,000 Turks, all 30,000 defenders died in battle, and Lingzhou fell.
"Now you send someone to Xiazhou to tell Li Jing that Xiazhou must be defended no matter what." Li Shimin said to Li Ji, "I will stay in Huaiyuan and guard Huaiyuan City with the 30,000 soldiers in the city. You and Cheng Yao Jin each led 50,000 troops to ambush outside Huaiyuan City, and when the time comes when the Turkic soldiers are exhausted from attacking the city, they will take the opportunity to attack." Li Shimin thought for a while, and decided to stay in Huaiyuan City as a bait. According to the current situation, this is what he thought of. Otherwise, once the Turks attack Chang\'an directly from Lingzhou, Datang will be in danger. "Your Majesty, it\'s absolutely impossible, let the veteran stay in Huaiyuan City, it\'s too dangerous." Cheng Yaojin said urgently.
"No need to say anymore, I have made up my mind. Only when I am here, the Turkic people will use all their strength to attack Huaiyuan City. We will fight them to the death here." Li Shimin said bitterly. Back to the time when he was the King of Qin more than ten years ago.
"This..." Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji looked at each other with deep worry. This strategy can indeed have the effect of surprise and unprepared attack, but. If there is an eventuality, they will die and die, but they also understand Li Shimin\'s stubborn temper, as long as it is something that is decided, it cannot be pulled back.
"Hey!" Cheng Yaojin turned around and sighed heavily, Li Ji shook his head. Also followed to leave. They rectified their troops and horses and were ready to leave the city at any time.
After the two left, Li Shimin wiped the sweat from his forehead. "I tricked them both this time."
"Your Majesty, this is just for safety." What the two of them didn\'t notice just now. In Li Shimin\'s room stood a strange guard, who had never been around Li Shimin before.
Li Shimin nodded, "I didn\'t expect this thing to be able to play such a role at critical times.". There was a trace of treachery in Li Shimin\'s smile. This guard is not Li Shimin\'s personal guard, but Yan Si, a member of the shadow guard. Li Yin sent him to Li Shimin\'s side when he led his troops to the south. At the same time, he also brought a big gift to Li Shimin, and this big gift is also The reason why Li Shimin gave this order easily, otherwise he really considered whether to take this risk and stay in Huaiyuan City.
"The only thing left is to tell the Turkic people the news that the emperor is staying in Huaiyuan City." Yan Si said.
Li Shimin nodded slightly. Now the Tang army is all at a disadvantage. If this battle cannot reverse the decline, then Chang\'an is really in danger.
Tuyuhun Grassland, Xue Rengui and Murong Shun\'s cavalry joined together, set off directly for Liangzhou, went directly behind the Turkic army, and cooperated with the Tang army to make dumplings for the Turkic people. He would have thought that Li Yin would have dealt with the Nanman so quickly, and would have drawn troops to support Li Shimin.
"Khan, we have the exact news that Li Shimin is still in Huaiyuan City." In the official office of Lingzhou City, a Turkic scout passed the information he had just received to Xieli.
With a wave of his hand, Jieli told the scouts to step back, and said to Junshi Xu, who was sitting on the side frowning in deep thought, "Mr. Leigh trusted him more and more.
"Khan, don\'t worry. It is impossible for Li Shimin not to know the news that Lingzhou was destroyed. He must be cheating if he stays in Huaiyuan City." After pondering for a while, Master Xu said.
For Xieli, this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once he can capture Li Shimin, then Datang is basically in his pocket, and more importantly, he can wash away his shame. He still remembers the fact that he danced in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and his daughter Ashinalan was still trapped in Chang\'an City, "Did I miss this opportunity? Maybe Master Xu wanted to attack Chang\'an City directly, but Chang\'an City was difficult." Wouldn\'t it be more disadvantageous for Li Shimin to lead his troops to attack us from behind?"
"That\'s not what I mean. Soldiers are tricky. Back then Li Shimin could separate Khan and Tuli Khan. Why can\'t Khan separate Tuli Khan\'s old troops now? In this way, Li Shimin is under the enemy\'s back. Let\'s take the opportunity to attack again. Li Shimin will definitely be unable to escape." Master Xu said slowly.
Jieli\'s face darkened. If it wasn\'t for the Turks betraying him, Xue Yantuo\'s rebellion, and countless livestock being frozen to death in the heavy snow, how could they have been defeated so badly? Join forces to attack, and after he was captured that year, many Turkic tribes were moved to the Great Wall by Li Shimin. If they can be instigated, it will definitely deal a huge blow to Li Shimin.
"Master Xu is right, but who should we persuade to join us?" Jieli asked.
"Zhishisili!" Xu Junshi said interestingly, "Khan, Zhishili used to be loyal to you, as long as he can summon the old Turkic troops to attack Huaiyuan from behind, then Li Shimin will definitely send The army will encircle and suppress the city so that we can attack the city with confidence, and Li Shimin will definitely not be able to escape the Khan\'s grasp."
Jieli became more and more excited as he listened. After Master Xu finished speaking, he couldn\'t help shouting "Okay!" After finishing speaking, he said, "I\'ll send someone to find him right now."
"It\'s just that the Khan needs to find someone who has weight. This Zhishenli is now Li Shimin\'s son-in-law. He doesn\'t have enough benefits. Whether he can submit to the Khan is still unknown!" Xu Junshi added.
After saying this, Xieli immediately calmed down. In order to stabilize the old Turkic army, Li Shimin tried his best to win him over. To let him return to Turkic, he must give him enough hope, "I will let Ashina Guduo go , this amount is enough." Xieli said.
Hearing this, Xu Junshi nodded. With Xieli’s son going in person, he had to think about it anyway...
In Yizhou, after defeating the Nanman, Li Yin planned to take advantage of the victory to subdue the barbarian tribes in the south. After returning to Yizhou, he ordered the more than 10,000 central troops left in the frontier to continue to advance to the south and take all Yunnan and other places into Yizhou Jurisdiction, at the same time, sent troops to open up the old commercial road from Yizhou to Pyu, because once this road was cleared, he could include Southeast Asia into his sphere of influence, and the jade from Pyu was exactly what he needed. It\'s not time to ask for as much as there is, so that his jewelry in modern times will no longer be short of supply.
And the money he earned can allow him to buy some high-end products from modern times and return to the Tang Dynasty. For example, Li Yin is considering buying a high-end car. After riding in a classic car for a while, Li Yin still can\'t stand it anymore. I want to buy some modern sports cars from Hyundai for the use of the palace. Those classic cars should be used by other people. Li Yuan has been envious of Li Yin’s classic cars for a long time, and he has always wanted Li Yin to match him with one. Li Yin thought After thinking about it, I just let him buy a few top sports cars from Hyundai, and it will be more convenient to go to Chang\'an in the future. Anyway, with classic cars, any advanced sports cars will definitely cause new panic. )
