Turkic soldiers blocked the four gates of Dingxiang City, and the gathering of Turkic people in the city was proceeding rapidly. Fortunately, although they have settled in Dingxiang for many years, the Turkic people are the most wild and untamable, and their ancestral nomadic traditions have not been lost. Most of them At that time, they only regarded Dingxiang as a castle where they could shelter from the wind and rain and avoid the plunder and killing of powerful enemies, but they definitely did not regard this place as their home.
For the Turks, where the cattle and sheep are, there is also the felt tent.
They live in pursuit of water and grass, and there is no inheritance or yearning for home in their genes...
As soon as the sky became clear, the Turks quickly gathered under the supervision and organization of the army, drove their cattle and sheep, and began to migrate towards Shuozhou in spite of the wind and snow, which gradually became lighter.
Everyone acted very quickly. They did not have much nostalgia for Dingxiang City. They knew that once Xue Yantuo attacked the city, Dingxiang City would fall sooner or later. They were used to living under the protection of the Tang Dynasty these years. Who would want to be Xue Yantuo's slave in a carefree and comfortable life that no one dares to mess with?
The Turkic scouts spread out for dozens of miles in the north and west directions, eliminating all Xue Yantuo scouts they might encounter, and making sure to buy more time for the tribe's migration.
If Xue Yantuo detects it and the cavalry comes in full force, the Turks will face a tragic disaster...
Xiang Aoshe, Kang Sumi and others were sent out to organize the tribesmen to retreat, while Ashina Simo himself ran to the small courtyard where Zhao Deyan lived.
…
"What if the Tang army guard does not allow us Turks to enter the city?"
Ashina Simo was sitting on pins and needles. It was only now that he became aware of this fatal hidden danger.
He now knows what happened in Mayi City. Fang Jun's right guard was blocked at Yanmen Pass and was not allowed to go north. Xue Wanche's right guard was dragged by the Mayi City guard in Mayi City on the grounds of insufficient food and could not leave the city and rush to the city. Dingxiang met him.
Since the defender of Mayi City was so bold, he obviously confirmed that Xue Yantuo did not dare to attack in a large scale. After a period of confrontation, Xue Yantuo withdrew his troops. The merits of "defending the border" and "deterring the enemy" will naturally fall to that horse. On the head of the city guard.
Under such circumstances, it is very risky for the Turks to enter Mayi City. Who knows whether the Xueyantuo people will immediately attack Mayi City and start a brazen war with the Tang Dynasty if they become angry?
Once the war breaks out, what awaits the Mayi City defender will be nothing more than extraordinary achievements. "Delaying the military situation", "disrespecting the imperial decree", "disaster on the frontier"... any of these crimes are enough to have his head chopped off ten times. Eight times.
The wisest thing to do at that time was to allow the Turks to be attacked, killed and plundered by Xue Yantuo, and to throw all the blame on the Xue Yantuo people who were good at starting wars...
At that time, the Turks had to face the charge of Xueyantuo's cavalry on the plain below Mayi City...
Is there any way to survive?
Zhao Deyan had changed into an ordinary Han Chinese gown. There was a fire pot burning in the room, which was very warm. He was sitting on the sofa and sipping the high-quality tea brought by Ashina Simo from Chang'an. He sipped the tea with pleasure and from time to time Squinting his eyes, he tasted the sweetness on the bottom of his tongue and mouth, and his face covered with age spots showed a leisurely expression of enjoyment.
"No wonder the Great Khan does not want to return to Dingxiang. The scenery of the Tang Dynasty and the ease of Guanzhong are indeed a paradise for indulgence. Even the old and dying heart is full of longing for the flourishing Tang Dynasty. Originally, he only wanted to Looking for a place with green mountains and green waters as a place to bury the bones, it can be regarded as a return of fallen leaves to their roots and souls to their hometown. Now, I can’t help but want to live for a few more days, appreciate the heroic spirit of Guanzhong, and feel the charm of the water in the south of the Yangtze River... …”
Seeing Zhao Deyan shaking his head with a look of enjoyment, Ashina Simo couldn't laugh or cry, and said anxiously: "Don't be so emotional, you have a strong body, you will have no problem living for another ten or eight years, it's time to stay here." , I don’t want to be the irritated Khan of Lao Shizi. I asked the emperor for an imperial edict to quit this job and return to Chang’an to become a rich man. Then I will accompany you to Guanzhong, Central Plains, Jiangnan, and Lingnan, even if you follow the fleet. Nanyang, I will also accompany you to the end... But at this stage, you have to give me some advice, and I must make it through safely!"
Zhao Deyan sighed and said angrily: "You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, we looked smart when we were young, but you don't want to be just a little clever, and you are helpless when big things happen. How can you achieve big things with this kind of character?"
Ashina Simo also sighed: "I have such a temperament. I know my own family affairs, so where can I get the materials to achieve great things? I don't have that ambition. I just want to live happily in this life, and I am content. But I can't watch it. The tribesmen were squeezed in between by Xue Yantuo and Tang Jun and crushed into powder, right? If that is true, I will feel uneasy and the sin will be hard to atone for!"
If it weren't for the sacred will, he wouldn't bother to ask for this Eastern Turkic Khan!
What is the Turk today?
The population was no more than 70,000 to 80,000, and the number of soldiers was no more than 30,000 to 20,000. Apart from horses, it was also short of weapons and armor. It was also sandwiched between Tang Dynasty and Xue Yantuo. Whenever there was a disturbance on either side, Dingxiang City would bear the brunt. If you are not careful, you will be crushed into powder.
Where can I compare to the joy of being carefree in Chang'an?
Zhao Deyan shook his head and said: "It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen. Who in the world can be said to have a perfect plan? The bigger the matter, the more people involved, and the greater the natural variables. Xue Yantuo's large-scale attack naturally targeted Mo Mo. In this land of abundant water and grass outside the Nanbaidaochuan River, no matter what the Tang Dynasty chose, whether to make peace or not, Xue Yantuo would never give up until he achieved his goal. Otherwise, he would return without success. How would he explain to the Tiele tribes who were attached to Xue Yantuo? ? You must know that the troops were sent out brazenly in the cold winter, and all tribes made huge sacrifices. Therefore, the Turkic tribes staying in Dingxiang had no choice but to die. What's more, the old man had already sent a message to the people around Dadu She, With the greed and stupidity of the magnanimous design, they must be ready to attack Dingxiang directly at this moment, without fear of reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty, or take advantage of the Evil Yang Ridge to insert between Dingxiang and Mayi City and capture the enemy. Dingxiang City's retreat. If it's the former, the Great Khan can still organize his soldiers to resist while calmly withdrawing the tribesmen. If it's the latter, every moment of delay will make him more desperate. Once Dadu leads his cavalry to capture Dingxiang City, On the way back to Xiangcheng, even if the Tang army wanted to come for reinforcements, they would not be able to come, and the Great Khan would be unable to fly."
Ashina Simo hesitated and said: "This... sir's analysis, I naturally agree with this junior, but the defender of Mayi City dared to block both the troops sent by the imperial court. It was obvious that Xue Yantuo did not dare to act brazenly. The war started, so we prepared to attack. Even if Xue Yantuo is now determined to swallow up the Turks, the defender of Mayi City may not believe it! The younger generation relies on Dingxiang, and relying on the high walls of the city, he may still be able to fight. If Xue Yantuo catches up in the wilderness, it will be like death but no life..."
Zhao Deyan looked at Ashina Simo with a troubled face and sighed secretly in his heart.
When the Turks were strong in the past, there were endless heroes in the tribe. Whether it was Qimin Khan, Chuluo Khan or Jieli Khan, they were all ambitious, decisive and ruthless characters. But now look at Ashi in front of you. Na Simo, hesitating and hesitating, there is no trace of resoluteness at all?
It's true that weasels are laying cubs, and each litter is worse than the last...
I just thought that before I died, I would eliminate another powerful enemy for the Tang Dynasty, so that my road to revenge would be more complete, and I had to endure Ashina Simo's stupid hesitation.
"The old man has been wandering all his life. He has never set foot in his homeland within the Great Wall after the age of thirty. However, he has a good understanding of the current situation of the Tang Dynasty. When an empire is at its most powerful, it must follow the example and follow the law. However, there must be rules for everything. Although the defenders of Mayi City were audacious and wanted to block the imperial court's reinforcements to support Dingxiang, how could the generals who were sent by the emperor to stabilize the situation in northern Xinjiang be incompetent? What's wrong? The old man's plan is certainly to lead Xue Yantuo astray, and break out a war with the Tang Dynasty while his court is still unstable, so that the Tang Dynasty can eliminate a powerful enemy, but it is the only chance of survival for the Turks. As for the matter The final success or failure depends on whether Tang Jun's coach has enough courage and the vision to control the situation."
After hearing what he said, Ashina Simo thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Who is the current commander of the Tang Army?
In terms of title, Xue Wanche is the highest, but this man is a fool, a model of bravery and foolhardy. He is good at charging into battle, but strategizing is useless.
And the commander-in-chief who carries the Tiger Talisman is Fang Jun...
