Chapter 66 Poor (Part 1)

.In spring, outside the border...the vitality is full of vitality...the grass is green and the flowers are blooming.

Ashidenu lies in a bush on the top of the mountain and looks down at the Tang army camp at the foot of the mountain. In order to bring the news accurately, he lurked here last night.

The Tang Dynasty army was training, but there were very few scouts sent. Even if there were scouts coming, they just took a look and then retreated down the mountain. First, they were frightened and the last hung heart finally settled down. I couldn't help but think that the commander was really wise.

Li Zhi had lost his flexibility and mobility when the first expedition was in charge. The troops sent this time were far inferior to the first time. He continued to let Pei Xingjian serve as the head coach of the three armies, the general manager of Dingxiang Road, but the deputy commander made another adjustment, and let Cao Huaishun and Li Wenlai be the deputy commander. Pei Xingjian's soldiers attack Daizhou, Cao Huaishun's soldiers were sent to Hengzhou, Li Wenlai's soldiers were sent to Youzhou. The three troops reached 100,000, and it was exactly half missing.

In Li Zhi's idea, this is also a safe number, enough to annihilate the Turkic rebels, and it can ensure the flexibility and mobility of the military. It can even immediately chase the desert. The burden on the country is also relatively mild. Well, it seems very good, but it is not..."

Ashde Wenbo also learned a lesson. In winter, he did not rush to attack the Hedong area of ​​the Tang Dynasty. Instead, the first troops were approaching Yunzhong City. Cheng Wuxing's soldiers saw the enemy coming in full force. He made a conclusion. The court could not send a large army to rescue him for the time being. So he took the initiative to retreat to Dai Peng.

This made the entire Jin tribe outside the pass, allowing Ashdewin to win. As Li Wei thought, he should not think that the Great Wall winds inside the pass have the dangers of various dangerous mountains and ridges to be blocked. If the army loses the various areas south of the Yin Mountain, the army loses its speed and mobility.

The Turks could calmly slide from Youzhou to Fengzhou, and traveled more than a thousand miles. However, the mobilization of the Tang Dynasty's army from Fengzhou to Youzhou, there were Luliang Mountains, and the Taihang Mountains were still in a circle. It was impossible to unite horizontally, and there was no way to cooperate with each other.

He ordered his subordinates to attack Yuanzhou and Qingzhou again. The "mass base" of Jingshi, the people of Zhaowu from Liuhu Prefecture, Nanhetao, would not assist the Turkic riots, but they dared not resist. In Xiazhou and Yinzhou, many Turkic tribes were moved to the Tang Dynasty, and some ethnic groups even developed into Yanzhou. People like Ashina Funian lived in Xiazhou, and even deliberately set up a Yushe Prefecture in order to resettle their ethnic groups. The disadvantages of Li Shimin's ethnic policy at that time showed that they came to the city of Qingzhou and Yuanzhou without any obstacles.

When you arrive in Qingzhou and Yuanzhou, the southwest can directly threaten the safety of Hexi. The southeast is only a short distance from Chang'an. Li Zhi had no choice but to let the right guard general Li Zhishi and the left Wuwei general Li Gao lead his army to guard the safety of the two states of Qingyuan.

The Tang Dynasty army was divided and then returned to take the initiative to find the fighter.

We will not be stunned this time. Based on the Black Mountain, we will only use the mobility of all cavalry. The Tang Dynasty army will slowly fight with you. Li Zhi's mission has other meanings. Ashide Wenbo did not see it. But after thinking about it, he directly confronted Pei Xingjian. He was the main force of the Tang Dynasty. Besides, Pei Yijian's command made Ashina Wenbo feel heartbroken this time. So he took his mind to Cao Huaishun.

After Pei Xingjian arrived at Longkou, he did not immediately attack the Turks. Ashde Wenbo thought he was very smart, but how could these tricks escape Pei Xingjian's eyes? This is a good idea. If you can fight, you can't fight, you can't fight and you can't fight.

This time, Pei Xingjian did not want to let Ashina Wenbo escape again. The soldiers were not sent, and sent an envoy to the Tielite tribe to ask for a ticket to send troops. You Tielite people have a feud with the Turks and mentioned a lot of benefits of the imperial court. This time it was time to make efforts. The two sides attacked each other and cut off the retreat of the Turkic rebels. Then before leaving, he asked Li Zhi to ask Ashina Daozhen to make meritorious service for the deputy general manager of Dingxiang Road. The Tielite people were about to go south. Ashina Wenbo didn't know, but Ashina Daozhen went on an expedition. He learned immediately. After hearing this, after hearing this, his face finally became solemn. After thinking for a while, he said to Sangxin beside him: "You arrange for people to go to the army to promote it," said that Ashina Dao is really Ashina Sheer and the descendants of the Tang Dynasty princess have lost the noble bloodline of the Blue Turks. The Blue Turks refer to Ashina and Ashide races. They are the noblest races of the Turks."

This is also a very far-fetched reason.

Who said that the descendants of the Tang Dynasty princess lost the bloodline of the Blue Turks? The Turks valued the patriarchy, not matriarchy, which was like Tubo. Could it be that Mangsong Mangzan was a descendant of Songtsen Gampo and Tuyuhun Princess, and the species was not pure? However, the identity of Li Wei and Wulu clan was revealed, which was a serious problem. Let's take a look at Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty, the first one, Qimin Khan died in front, and Qimin's son Shibi Khan immediately married her to the den. However, it was not long before that Shibi Khan died again. When he walked to Qimin's other son Luo Khan rushed to welcome the den. He died again, and let the Lingli Khan take it over to be Kedun. It was not that the princesses of the Sui and Tang Dynasties were inferior, but proved that the Turks' princesses of the Sui and Tang Dynasties were also noble.

The news was spreading, and the morale of the Turkic rebels was predictable. But Pei Yijian still did not move. It was not the time for the decisive battle. He was waiting for news from Bido.

Pei Xingjian sat firmly on Diaoyutai, but the other two were a little anxious. Cao Huaishun and Li Wenlai thought to themselves... Why did the Emperor ask us to be the deputy commander? Chi was to divide Pei Xingjian's military power, and it was also a kind of respect.

But if you don’t fight, how can you make a contribution? Especially Cao Huaishun, since he won the title of a woman Cao in Qinghai, he has always wanted to prove himself. Seeing that the Turks seemed very vulnerable, and there was no danger of Qinghai’s sea, he sent someone to ask Pei Xingjian.

Pei Xingjian replied, "I march, don't ask," and when you need you, he will send someone to notify you.

The mountain man has his own tricks. It’s not the time to tell you.

I dare not tell that the court seems to be in harmony. Since the Tubo envoy returned, there has not been much dispute. Although I gave a lot of gifts to the throne, the current situation is worth it. If I anger Tubo, it will be unfair. Then I reached the quota for sailing. In recent years, under the leadership of Li Wei, many changes have been launched. But there has been no mobilization and no one has noticed it, but it has brought many changes to the Tang Dynasty.

The emergence of silver and money has allowed gold and silver to circulate, which has increased nearly two thousand paper money and currency to be put into the market. Although it is a quasi-currency, gold and silver gradually became the mainstream in bulk transactions. Nearly half of the prefectures and counties pay taxes with money and grain. Not all prefectures and counties have implemented it. Some have little money, some have too ruthlessly because merchants are too strict in the grain area, and some still retain the original rent and mediocre system because they are strict in the grain area. However, many prefectures and counties have gradually used money instead of paying taxes in kind.

This has further led to commercial prosperity.

In subtle influence, not many people noticed it. But the people are indeed improving their lives bit by bit. The changes are not very big. The changes are the merchants who are ahead. Taking advantage of these changes, they have accumulated great wealth in a few years. More people have seen the profits of sailing, even the number of people going out to sea has doubled. These changes, plus the court controlled for a long time before they let go, were more enthusiastic than the previous two times.

Various factors have made this fundraising receive a total of 3.2 million marriage money. The result was presented, almost all the ministers were stunned. Then they were surprised to find that the Qinghai war had just ended. Last year, there was a Battle of Black Mountain. This year, it was about to start the war. The Danshui Canal was built to Zhengdang Canal. The scale became very large. It also redeemed a large number of troops. The treasury was still very real.

In this scene, the court seemed to have become very harmonious. Is that true? In fact, it is not that no matter what the emperor did, the Tailong Emperor and the Empress Dowager were still on guard. It was just that the harmony of the group was caused by the emperor's voluntary retreat to the East Palace. He rarely spoke in the court.

That's it, including this march deployment, Cao Huaishun and Li Wenlai appointed themselves as their deputy commanders, with a full charm.

So I can't say that Li Xian's story is still fresh in everyone's memory. Pei Xingjian was also afraid of accidents. Besides, what's the use of saying it? These two movies are just a contributing effect. Pei Xingjian never expected them to cooperate with him to fight on the front line.

Something happened to Qian walked away.

When Cao Huaishun saw Pei Xingjian's attitude, he understood Pei Xingjian's contemptuous thoughts. He was dissatisfied and sent someone to contact Li Wenli. The general idea was that Pei Xingjian looked like he didn't appreciate our brothers. He happened to attract the main force of the Turkic forces in Daizhou. Should we have a big fight? Let everyone take a look. Are we timid?

My mentality is not too bad, at least it is not like I am not afraid in Qinghai, and I have begun to make progress.

After seeing the letter, Li Wenli thought about it and agreed. At worst, we can fight if we can, and then we can return if we can't fight. At least we can prove that we dare to attack.

The two members met and asked the generals Dou Yizhao and Wang Xiaocheng to be the vanguards. The army then walked in a row and crossed the ancient Great Wall and left the pass to find the remaining Turkic troops. Ashidenu observed the vanguard troops of Dou Yizhao and Wang Xiaocheng on the top of the mountain.

The sun began to come out. It was March. The weather was still a little cold at night outside the border. Ashidenu moved his body and relieved the coldness. Then he narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance. Finally, he saw a dozen black spots on the horizon.

Here comes! I said in my heart.

The black spots were getting bigger and bigger. A team of Tang troops rode horses to welcome them. After a while, they brought more than a dozen Turkic people over.

Astranu looked around and took out a piece of jerky meat from his arms and bit it.

What he wanted to see was the reaction of the Tang Dynasty army to these dozen Turkic people.

The jerky meat was not finished. The dozen Turks took them to the Tang army camp. They took off their small water bags and took a sip of water. They continued to wait for news.

The scout brought these Turkic people to Dou Yizhao's face, lying in Dou Yizhao's ear and whispered a few times' Dou Yizhao immediately asked in surprise: "Is it true or false?"

"The white sentence is true, I dare not say a lie."

Dou Yizhao paced back and forth a few steps. This was a great contribution. I didn't dare to take the initiative. I sent a scout to inform Cao Huaishun. At this time, they approached the Shanyu Protectorate. The most deadly, Cao Huaishun did not report to Pei Xingjian because of his greed for merit.

Cao Huaishun received the news and immediately summoned the generals. He said it again, there were more than a dozen Turks coming to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. It was normal. There were many Turks who surrendered. Especially Ashinadao's real appeal was not less than Ashinafunian's appeal. However, there were not many Turks loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, at least half of the Turks would turn against each other. But these dozen people brought important information. It said that Ashidewenbo and Ashinafunian did not expect the sudden arrival of the Tang Dynasty. They stayed in the northeast and northeast of Heisha Hohhot... They only brought dozens of guards, drinking and having fun, and even cruelly compared each other to eat human flesh to compete for their courage. When the tribes heard about this, they all felt very resentful.

The Tang Dynasty army could take down the two of them as long as it led a light cavalry.

All the generals thought it was one, and there was only one person. Liu Jingtong asked suspiciously: "Is it a fraudulent surrender?"

But people are slight and slight, and are ignored by everyone.

The two troops immediately formed camps and arrived at the south of Heisha in Hulubo, and the northeast of Hohhot, and joined Dou Yizhao's army. Then they kept the old, weak and sick and disabled soldiers, and rushed to Heisha.

At this time, Ashidenu had been lurking for two days and two nights, then quietly touched the top of the mountain, and ran wildly with the help of the boundless grass on the grassland. He reached the depths of the grassland, and shot a whistle. A horse jumped out and rode his horse back to report.

Cao Huaishun led the army all the way to Heisha, and saw nothing, shouted these Turks: "Where do you say people eat wine and have fun here?"

"General Qibing' is still in the north."

Going forward, I chased after nothing. I saw that I was about to reach Yangshan. That night, more than a dozen Turkic people suddenly ran away. At this time, Cao Huaishun realized that he ordered to retreat. The only gain was that he met a Xueyantuo tribe who wanted to vote for the Ashina Funian and surrendered them. This was also a very bad signal. Strictly speaking, the Xueyantuo tribe was the Tieler people. He had a deep hatred with the Turks, but now he took the initiative to vote for the "Tribe". Although the tribe's youngsters" had a very bad meaning.

Another mistake was made. If you want to be in a state of depression, you must prepare to fight and save your physical strength and notify Pei Xingjian to respond. However, Cao Huaishun did not lead the army to march quickly and retreat into the pass. When he arrived in the north of the Great Wall, he encountered the Ashidewen Bo army and the two sides immediately fought. However, at this time, the main army of Ashidewen Bo was attracting Pei Xingjian's attention and did not dare to fight on a large scale. He just separated the road and continued to force Cao Huaishun's army to the southeast Hengshui direction. He immediately retreated.

Ying Huaishun had no courage and confidence at this time, fled again. People were even more trapped and horses were even more scarce! He ran to Hengshui. Ashide Wenbo showed his killer move and carefully arranged it step by step. The main force dragged Cao Huaishun's main army in Daizhou. Let Ashinazhan ambush the way back on Hengshui. Seeing the Tang army retreating, Ashinazhan led his army to launch an attack.

Cao Huaishun, Dou Yizhao, Li Wenlai, Liu Jing and the four armies joined together to form a square formation and fought. After a day of fighting, Ashina Funian took the wind to attack. He didn't lose a bad time. Find a suitable terrain and dragged it. Pei Xingjian would definitely send troops to rescue him. Perhaps Pei Xingjian already knew that he had no intention of helping, and maybe he didn't know. But after seeing the letter of help, no matter what Pei Xingjian thought, he would definitely send military assistance. However, Cao Huaishun not only did not ask for help, nor did he defend, but only wanted to escape. Ashina Funian took advantage of the wind and the whole army was dispatched together. Cao Huaishun saw this situation, leaving the army behind and his confidants, and began to escape first.

The commander was the first to escape, and the Tang Dynasty army was defeated.

In the battle of Hengshui, the Tang army suffered as many as tens of thousands of casualties. It was still Ashina Fu Nian who received a lot of favors from the Tang Dynasty. The rebellion in his heart has always been unresolute. He left a move for the future. After seeing the defeat of the Tang army, he took the initiative to order to stop the attack. Otherwise, the Tang army would lose even worse.

It was too late and Sang Ashina Funian did not attack again. Cao Huaishun gathered scattered soldiers, but at this time he was surrounded by Ashina Zhaninian. He had to restrain the gold and silk in the army, and sent an envoy to bribe Ashina Funian with all the gold and silk to bribe Ashina Funian to kill the cows for the alliance. He also won, and obtained a lot of gold and silk, and preserved the strength of the army. Later, it was also the reason why Ashina Funian did not fight to the death. Although he asked Ashina Funbo to lift up, his prestige exceeded Ashina's Nishina' and punished Ashina's Nishina' and immediately gathered an army of his own.

Ashdewinbeau also achieved his goal.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang army won every battle, and the Turks were heartbroken. Just like in Heishan, why are there more troops than Pei Xingjian, and the combat power is not bad, and they are all cavalry, but they dare not attack? It is precisely because the heartbroken, the divisions were afraid. However, after the defeat of Tubo Dafei, this battle, broke the myth of the Tang army winning every battle for the second time. Let each division establish a confidence, the symbolic meaning is far more important than the result.

The news was fed back to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Zhi slapped in the face.

Originally, when he ascended the throne, Li Ji gave advice. Later, Li Ji died. Da Fei... was defeated miserably. Some people understand that whether Pei Xingjian or Liu Rengui or his son, he was not as good as Li Ji, but he was better than him.

Even though he knew that Ying Huaishun had lost face in Qinghai, he had to let Cao Huaishun become the deputy commander in order to restrain Pei Xingjian's achievements. So Hengshui was defeated.

After seeing the memorial, Li Zhi's face turned pale, and said repeatedly: "It turns out that he is a woman Cao's woman, like a man."
