Ashina Simo did not have much friendship with Fang Jun, but it did not hinder his understanding of Fang Jun.
After all, this rising star in Chang'an officialdom, who is known as "Bang Chui", has too many legends...
courage?
Fang Jun must have it.
Not to mention other things, how many people can be found in the court who dare to face Changsun Wuji?
When Ashina Simo saw Changsun Yinren's white-faced face without the need for a permanent smile from a distance, he would retreat. Every time he couldn't avoid talking to Changsun Wuji, it made him tremble with fear. You will never I know what bad intentions this sinister person has in mind...
The vision to control the situation?
Doesn't seem bad either.
Just looking at his layout in Nanyang, turning his hands into clouds and rain in the Japanese country, and turning Silla into a mess, we know that he definitely has a way of scheming.
Would such a person be caught and helpless by a small guard in Mayi City?
Ashina Simo suddenly felt infinite confidence!
Of course, even if he has no confidence at all, he has no way out now, and it is just a mediocrity...
*****
The sky is getting brighter and the wind and snow have stopped.
The camp of Xue Yantuo was filled with people and horses neighing. The cavalry from each tribe gathered towards Xue Yantuo's main force under the call of their respective leaders. The horses' hooves crushed the ice and snow, and the hot air emitted from the mouths and noses of the men and horses turned into white steam and steamed in the air.
Wearing a suit of leather armor and a white cloak on his back, Da Dushe sat on a war horse, looking down at the large group of cavalry that was constantly gathering, full of ambition and high aspirations!
Every man has a strong desire for power in his heart. The pleasure of being followed by thousands of troops and fighting for the first place is more intoxicating than a beautiful woman in a city!
This is the ambition of a man!
"Second Prince, the troops have been assembled!"
Tumidu was also wearing leather armor and rode his horse to Dadu She to report.
Dadu sat on the horse and reined in the reins, nodded and said: "Let's go, you will be the vanguard, insert diagonally behind Dingxiang City from Wuyang Ridge, cut off the connection between Dingxiang City and Mayi City, no matter what is inside Mayi City, How should the Tang army respond? We must ensure that we conquer Dingxiang City in one go and seize this flat and fertile land from the Turks for the Khanate!"
"promise!"
Tumidu promised loudly, turned his horse around and came to the front of the Uighur cavalry array. He flicked his cloak behind him and said loudly: "Athletes from Uighur, follow me into battle!"
"Huha!"
"Ouch!"
The fierce Uighur cavalry gave the leader exciting shouts and roars. Thousands of cavalry followed Tumidu, separated from the group, gradually accelerated, and soon they were like a whirlwind galloping into the still flying snow, with the roar of horse hooves. There was a loud sound, and in an instant there was only a gray shadow left.
As the most powerful tribe in the north of Daqi, the Uighurs' fierceness has already shocked people's hearts. Except for Xue Yantuo, which of the Tiele tribes does not treat them like tigers and avoid them?
The momentum displayed by thousands of cavalry at this moment, together with the snow and wind falling from the sky, weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.
Including generous design!
Regarding the Uighurs, Xue Yantuo's strategy is to use both kindness and power, rewards and punishments. On the one hand, he must rely on the Uighurs' fierceness to help Xue Yantuo suppress the four parties and charge into battle;
Xue Yantuo was able to pretend to be his grandson for more than a hundred years, and finally seized the opportunity of the Turks' defeat to rise up and become the overlord of Mobei in one fell swoop. Who knew that decades later, Uighur would not be able to replace Xue Yantuo's bones?
The Han people have a good saying, "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different"!
Since Huihe is willing to be Xue Yantuo's dog, let him continue to be so. The collar will always be tied around Huihe's neck, and the rope will be tightly held in Xue Yantuo's hand...
"Everyone!"
Da Duzhu gathered his mind, drew out his sword, pointed the curved scimitar diagonally at the gray sky, and shouted: "The Han people are cruel and drove me, Xue Yantuo, into the Mobei moraine. From now on, it will be cold and the vegetation will wither." , you can’t even find a piece of fertile pasture! And here”
He pointed at the land outside Dingxiang City with the tip of his knife: "The vastest and most fertile land in Monan was given by the Han people to their former enemies, the Turks! Xue Yantuo helped the Han people destroy the Turkic Khanate, but he did not get what he deserved Instead, they will be suppressed to the north of Yinshan Mountain by the Turks they have re-supported! Warriors of Xue Yantuo, tell me, are you willing?"
"Not willing to give in!"
"Not willing to give in!"
Xue Yantuo's cavalry raised their arms and shouted wildly, and even the cavalry from other Tiele tribes also shouted in agreement!
"Very good! You are worthy of being the descendants of Xueyantuo under the light of the God of Fire! Now, I am generous and will lead you to snatch this rich land from the hands of the Turks! Let our descendants be able to live in In the warm and humid place of Monan, you can smell the fragrance of flowers in spring, be soaked in rain in summer, have delicious fruits in autumn, and the winter is no longer so cold!"
"Warriors, follow me, kill all the Turks, seize pastures, cattle and sheep, and make great achievements!"
He just held the scimitar, reined in the horse with one hand, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and the horse neighed and galloped away into the distance.
Dadu Zha is very capable of inspiring people. With just a few words, he mobilized the bravery in the bones of the people of Xue Yantuo. When they heard that they could occupy the grassland of Monan forever, they all immediately became excited like chickens. All the soldiers in the army were all excited, shouting and shouting, galloping their horses and whips, and followed closely behind Dadu Shi.
Thousands of horses galloped all of a sudden, and the color changed naturally!
…
Dumozhi stood in the camp, shaking his head slightly with a worried look on his face.
All his subordinates are surrounding him. According to Dadu's plan, after cutting off the retreat from Dingxiang City, he will attack with Dadu from north to south to ensure that Dingxiang City is captured in the shortest possible time.
Naturally, there is also the intention of retaining troops in the camp to confuse the Turks in Dingxiang City...
"Commander Qu, the scouts have just reported that a large number of Turkic scouts have been dispatched in Dingxiang City. There are no omissions within dozens of miles of the city. There must be some major operation in the city!"
A close subordinate hurried over to report back.
Du Mozhi glanced at the large army that was gradually disappearing, with a dark and cold look, and ordered: "Stop the news. If you dare to spread it in the army, you will be killed without mercy!"
"promise!"
The confidant was startled. Although he didn't know why, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Tuo Mozhi said again: "Go ahead and inform us that everyone will not take off their armor, their horses will never leave their saddles, and they will have to hug their weapons even when sleeping! Check the situation of Dingxiang City at all times. If the Second Prince's troops successfully penetrate into Dingxiang City in a roundabout way, When we launch an attack from the rear, we will press the entire army and attack the city with all our strength! If... the battle situation is slightly unexpected, we will all be prepared to follow me back to Baidaochuan, guard the mountain pass, and prevent the Tang army from crossing Baidaochuan!"
The confidants were shocked...
What's going on?
The large army has just set off for the expedition, but his commander Qu is ready to retreat?
Could it be that... the second prince is going to lose?
"What are you doing standing still? Go quickly!" Dumozhi shouted sternly: "If any news leaks out, I will be the first to chop off your head and slaughter your whole family!"
The confidant shuddered, turned pale with fright, and ran away quickly to give the military order.
Du Mozhi raised his head again and looked in the direction of Dingxiang City, his face was gloomy, showing no joy or anger.
The Great Khan's order was for the army to oppress the borders of the Turks, causing the Turks to seek help from Chang'an, thereby achieving a chance of peace with the Tang Dynasty. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty gained the country unfairly, and all he wanted to do was conquer Goguryeo and incorporate it into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. He achieved a feat that all previous kings could achieve, and made great achievements to cover up the flaws in his reputation.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for the Tang Dynasty to go to war with Xue Yantuo. Apart from making peace, the Tang Dynasty could not think of a way to quell Xue Yantuo's army.
But Da Duzhu was ambitious, and that bastard Tu Midu had even more ulterior motives. The two of them joined forces and actually wanted to directly contribute to Dingxiang, and even wanted to prevent the Tang army in Mayi City from rescuing Dingxiang...
That was the Tang Dynasty!
The mighty and invincible Tang Dynasty!
Since the Turkic Khanate was overthrown by the Tang Dynasty, in the vast grasslands and rolling deserts, which tribe dares to stroke the tiger's beard of the Tang Dynasty?
As for being generous, I can't persuade you.
As cousins, Tuo Mo Zhi and Da Du Shi have a good relationship, and they also know better what kind of ambition this boy who usually follows the rules in Yu Governor's Shanya tent has. Now he is leading the army to conquer Dingxiang and plunder Monan. , who can persuade him to return the praise of the Great Khan, the admiration of his tribe, and the increase in prestige?
However, Du Mozhi knew that once the Tang army entered the war, Da Da Shi would be defeated.
If that happens, he must return to Baidaochuan first and hold on to the mountain pass tightly to give Dadu a chance to return to Mobei safely after the defeat. Otherwise, once the Tang army chases after them, Dadu's several I am afraid that all ten thousand iron cavalry will die in this unfamiliar land of Monan...
