Datang Library

At the end of the memory, Jieli understood that Datang was insidious. Although he faced the enemy head-on, he used a tiger to destroy his horse and beat him by surprise.

"Khan, even if we escaped to the royal court, there are only [-] old and weak guards there. If Tang chases after us, we can't resist it!" The captain of the personal guard said sadly.

"Don't worry, Datang has no chance to catch up, and we're not the only enemy!" Jie Li said, looking back to the east.

At this time, on the border of Youzhou in the east of the Tang Dynasty, teams of troops gradually appeared. All of them were equipped with swords and armor, but they were different from the Tang army. They looked murderous, and it was obvious that the visitors were not good!

Chapter 336 Who is Tang afraid of in an emergency at the border?

Two months ago, when Jieli in the north heard that the Tang Dynasty in the south was going to send troops to destroy the country, he convened civil and military discussions to come up with a countermeasure. connection.

The new Great Khan of the Western Turks immediately beheaded the envoy after seeing Jieli's envoy. The deal between the Western Turks and the Tang Dynasty was good, and the number of troops gradually became stronger. How could it be possible to invade the friendly countries?

This Western Turkic Mohe Da Khan is a full-fledged pro-Tang faction. Back then, he personally fought against the Xuanjia Army of the Tang Dynasty, and was educated by Li Yuanba himself, probably left in his heart. Shadow, no longer dare to be hostile to Datang.

In Mo Hedu's view, East Turkic Jieli was self-destructive. At the beginning, Western Turkic was innocently killed 6 or [-] people by the Xuanjia Army of the Tang Dynasty. What happened in the end?Why don't you just swallow your anger and not mention it?Others laugh at our weakness in Western Turks, but two years later, Western Turks are the richest country on the grasslands, and Xieli is a fool!

Huihe in the north also said that it was impossible to send troops, and so did Gaochang in the west. All countries that had trade relations with the Tang Dynasty had tasted the sweetness of this trade, and no one wanted to break this situation of making money silently.

But when Xieli was deeply disappointed, good news came back that allies were found, and there were more than one party, one of which was Goguryeo in the east.

Goguryeo is located in the east of Youzhou in the Tang Dynasty, in the territory of most of Liaoning and part of Jilin and North Korea in later generations. This country is not big, but its population is not small at all. There are millions of people in total, and it has been established for hundreds of years. , Continuous learning, the national strength is extremely strong.

In the former Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang Guang had a unique vision. He believed that Goguryeo was a poisonous snake in the northeast of the Sui Dynasty.

Every time a large army goes out, it advances both land and water. In the first eight years of its great cause, more than 110 million soldiers were mobilized, and more civilian laborers were employed. There were 300 million people and countless money and food. But it was defeated by Goguryeo's Liaodong city.

The second Daye made a comeback in nine years and besieged Liaodong City, but Yang Xuangan took the opportunity to mutiny, and Yang Guang had to withdraw his troops to help; Against Wang Yijun, they finally had to negotiate a peace and withdraw their troops.

After three battles, it can be said that the two countries have forged a deadly enmity. Although the Central Plains has changed dynasties, many people in the Tang army were from the former Sui army. Countless robes died in the Northeast. Naturally, such hatred is not easy to forget What's more, Goguryeo is still showing off its might, and built a Jingguan outside Liaodong City. Those are all the corpses of the Central Plains Han Jiaerlang who died in Liaodong.

When the Turkic messengers went to ask for help, there were two factions in Goguryeo. The monarch Gao Jianwen was weak and unwilling to fight, but the powerful minister Yuan Gai Suwen had a unique vision and knew that he could not wait for the Tang Dynasty to remove obstacles one by one, so he insisted on sending troops. .

In the end, Goguryeo decided to send [-] troops to attack Youzhou in the north of Datang. The first stop was Yingzhou City in the east of Youzhou, which is now Chaoyang City, Liaoning.

"Hurry up, light the beacon fire! Send a fast horse to report to the governor of Youzhou, the enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking Goguryeo, and there are no less than 10 people in the army!" The guard of Yingzhou was shocked, and immediately dispatched a team of the most elite The riders went to report the news, while he himself stood firmly on the east tower, preparing for the battle of defending the city.

Two days later, Youzhou received an urgent report and quickly sent an urgent report of [-] miles to Chang'an, but before the messenger was dispatched two days later, a report came from the front saying that the city of Yingzhou had been broken, so Youzhou sent another urgent report.

In Chang'an City, a rush of horseshoes sounded throughout the entire Suzaku Street, accompanied by shouts!

"Great victory! Great victory in the Northland!"

After a short time, the people of Chang'an will die, and the great victory in the Northland means that the Tang Dynasty has won the battle. Didn't they say they were going to destroy the Eastern Turks to take revenge?It seems that East Turkistan is finished.

Li Er looked at Li Jing's military newspaper in his hand, and laughed loudly: "Good! Good! Good! Beheaded 17 people and captured [-] prisoners. With such a record, Pharmacist is worthy of being my military god of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Report! Your Majesty, there is an urgent military report outside the palace!" A guard shouted.

"Didn't you just receive it? Is there any good thing that can't happen? Very good, good things come one after another is a good omen, pass it on!"

Li Er put away the military newspaper that he hadn't finished reading, and passed it in to the new messenger.

"Report, Your Majesty, Youzhou is in an emergency. Goguryeo's [-] troops invaded the border. It was ten days ago when the last general came to send a message. At that time, Yingzhou in the north was already in an emergency. Now I don't know how the battle is going. Your Majesty, please send someone to support it as soon as possible." !"

"what?"

Li Er stepped forward in shock, snatched the urgent report from the messenger and quickly read it. The more he looked, the colder his heart became. There were only 10 defenders in Yingzhou, and [-] soldiers in Goguryeo. It took half a day to break through, maybe now They are already approaching the city of Youzhou!

"Come here, pass the news that the King of Jin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, and Gao Shilian are urgently entering the palace to discuss matters. By the way, check to see if Bai Fan is in Chang'an. If he is, go and pass it along!"

Half an hour later, everyone rushed to the Yizheng Hall. Li Er's face was gloomy, and he finished the matter quickly, and said: "Goguryeo's bold attack is extremely abnormal. Now it seems that there must be some collusion with Turkic Jieli. They What a good plan, do you think Datang can't fight on both sides?

Pharmacist has already won the victory. I want to divide our troops to defend Goguryeo to the east, not only to keep Youzhou, but also to break into Goguryeo. If you don’t want the city, go kill people and loot as a punishment! "

After listening, everyone did not express their opinions in a hurry, but fell into deep thought.

After a short time, Du Ruhui suggested: "Your Majesty, purely looting and killing is meaningless, it will only increase the hatred of the people of the enemy country towards us, so we cannot increase the hearts of the people of Goguryeo like this.

We are all preparing for this war. As long as our strategic goal is achieved and the matter of destroying the Eastern Turks goes well, as for Goguryeo, let him be happy for a while. After the results of this battle are stable, we will go back and deal with him It's not too late, how can expressing a moment of anger compare to the joy of destroying his country? "

"Okay! Keming's words are so proud!

That being the case, I accept the advice!

In short, the messenger is too slow to send orders, I need you to send an eagle to the north to send a message to the army, let them go directly from the grassland to the east to rescue Youzhou! "

Bai Fan saluted and promised, and when Li Er's imperial decree was written, he immediately went to Xiongying to send a letter. Four pregnant women in his family were about to give birth, so it was inconvenient to live in the academy, and he has been living in Chang'an recently!

Li Er, who had arranged everything, took out Li Jing's secret letter and looked at it again. When he saw the last thing he got up, he laughed and said, "Hahahaha! Well, I really belong to the destiny, the destiny belongs to me." ah!"

But Li Er, who was laughing wildly, didn't know, how could the matter be so simple that he could solve it?

Chapter 337 Three Faces of Enemies?To go or not?

Less than two days after the last Youzhou military report, another 8-mile urgent military report came, and [-] soldiers from Tuyuhun in the west had conquered Hezhou and surrounded Lanzhou.

Tuyuhun was originally a branch of the Murong tribe of Xianbei in eastern Liaoning, nomadic in present-day Yi County, Liaoning.At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the leader Tuyuhun led his troops to move westward to Baohan (now Linxia, ​​Gansu). Later, he expanded and ruled the Qiang and Di tribes in present-day Qinghai, southern Gansu and northwest Sichuan, and established a state.Up to his grandson Yeyan, he used his ancestors as his family name and country name.The Southern Dynasties called it Henan; the neighbors called it Achailu or Yelu; the Sui and Tang Dynasties called it "Tuhun" and "Tuihun". Later, Tuyuhun was used as the surname in Chinese.During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was attached to the Song, Qi, and Northern Wei successively.

Five years before the Daye of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty personally conquered Tuyuhun and set up four prefectures: Xihai, Heyuan, Shanshan, and Qiemo.Later, when the world was in chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Tuyuhun Khan Fuyun took advantage of the chaos to regain his hometown and attack Hexi.

Due to the power of the Tang Dynasty these years, Tuyuhun seldom came to invade the border, but this time Xieli sent people to join forces, claiming that he was willing to form an alliance to advance and retreat together. The king of Tuyuhun thought it was an opportunity, so he secretly agreed Shot at the critical moment.

In the Palace of Political Affairs, Li Eryi slapped the cases in front of him with cracks, and said angrily, "Siyi Xiaoxiao! I am so angry! Do you think I am a piece of fat in Datang? Do you want the three families to jointly share Datang? "

"Your Majesty, even if the three of them don't want to join forces to eat us this time, it's a strategy of continuation. Our Tang army is growing stronger and our national strength is increasing. It is common sense for the barbarians to be afraid. The most urgent thing is how to deal with it." Fang Xuan Ling advised.

Li Er came back to his senses, took the map and pointed to it and said, "I have thought about this matter carefully, and the difference from Goguryeo sending troops to contain it is that Tuyuhun is obviously much closer to Chang'an, Tang Dynasty, why didn't you take down the river?" After leaving the state, how about going straight to Chang'an?

Instead, go north to attack Lanzhou?Isn't Chang'an's shocking wealth worth their coveting?There must be something strange about this matter! "

Everyone who had seen the map also noticed that, sure enough, there was a problem with the direction of Tuyuhun's troop dispatch this time. Everyone followed Li Er's finger to see that it was

"Your Majesty is saying that they are going for our wool business in Shuofang?"

"That's right! Tuyuhun is very smart. He knows that Chang'an is strong and guarded by a large army. It is definitely not something that can be breached in three or two days.

But going north to Shuofang is different. It is closer than Chang'an, and there are only Lingzhou camp guards. There are [-] army guards every day. This time, in order to go north to destroy the Turks, there are only [-] guards now.

Once the opponent wins Shuofang, the wool business and textile technology will be in Tuyuhun's pocket, and they will definitely try to replace Datang to trade wool with the grassland! "Li Er pondered.
