Chapter 404
: Horses stepped on the Turks, Jie Li was captured
The previous article has been modified (picture)—
The winter of the third year of Kaiyuan was as cold as Li Chunfeng calculated, and it was much colder than in previous years.
If it weren't for the news early, the northern part of the Central Plains would have been full of disaster.
The Turks were further north, and the white disaster, which was rare in decades, raged on the grassland. The cattle and sheep were frozen to death in pieces. Jie Li moved his tent to Dingxiang early.
(Note: Some historical materials say they are in Xiangcheng, and they are a bit overwhelming, and they cannot determine the location of the "Dingxiang County" capital, so they are temporarily designated as Dingxiang City.)
Dingxiang was originally a border county of the former Sui Dynasty. However, when Yang Guang escaped the Fenyang Palace in the 11th year of Daye, he was surrounded by Yanmen when he was in the hands of the Turks!
This city is located in the northeast of the east corner of the "Ji" shape of the Yellow River. Although there are tall walls that block the cold wind, it is still extremely cold.
In addition, since the founding of the country, Dagan has been in a defensive state against the Turks, and there is a natural barrier of Eyangling on the south side, so the alert is not strict.
When the news of Kou Zhong's personal expedition had just been heard from Chang'an, Zhang Xutuo ordered Qin Qiong to lead 3,000 cavalry to set off from Mayi and run to Dingxiang!
At the same time, the other five armies also arrived at the designated locations. (March Route Map)
After carrying five days of food rations in Yunzhong, Li Jing rushed to the north of Dingxiang City, stuck between Baidao Fortress and Dingxiang City. If Jie Li fled north, he would be able to intercept it on the way.
Xu Shiji, the Western Army, left Lishi early and headed north along the Yellow River, and is currently setting up an ambush on Yinshan in the northwest of Dingxiang.
The Qu Tutong tribe and Song Zhi tribe on the east side have also been in place.
Shan Xiongxin from the Lingwu direction also led his troops across the Yellow River and headed straight for Suni's tent.
Suni's full name Ashina Suni, and his mother, were also named the little Khan by Jie Li. Shan Xiongxin's troops were to monitor Suni and prevent him from accepting Jie Li.
Jie Li, who was enjoying the stove in Dingxiangyang City, knew nothing about it!
That night, Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin led 3,000 elite troops, attacked with the wind and snow all over the sky with speed, crossed the Evil Yangling and attacked Dingxiang City at night!
Because the weather was very bad, the Turks were completely unwarranted and Qin Qiong took off the southern city gate as soon as he met!
The Turks, who were unknown, even thought that the Gan Army was "a divine weapon descended from the sky", and I suddenly became panicked all over the city.
Jie Li Khan did not expect the sudden arrival of the Gan army, and believed that since the other party dared to go deeper alone, there must be a main force. Then, he immediately led more than 30,000 troops to go out of the city by the north gate, intending to withdraw the tent to the civic entrance to the civic entrance.
However, Jie Li was only more than 30 miles away from Dingxiang and was intercepted by Li Jing's troops. The already panicked Turks suddenly collapsed and fled north under the fierce rush of Pei Xingyan's two bright silver hammers!
When Jie Li escaped to Baidao City, there were only more than 20,000 troops left in Dingxiang City, and even if the troops stationed in Baidao City were added, there were less than 40,000!
Overnight, the Gan army killed more than 6,000 enemies and captured nearly 10,000 people, and it was difficult to count the fugitives.
After Zhang Xutuo and his army entered Dingxiang, he received Li Jing's advice and immediately dispersed many spies to alienate the Turkic tribes.
Then, Jie Li's confidant general Kang Sumi led his army to surrender.
After hearing this, Jie Li did not dare to stay in Baidao City, and led the Turkic soldiers who had fled to Baidao to retreat to Yinshan, but he bumped into Xu Shiji's troops who had been waiting here for a long time.
Baidao City is the frontier of the Sui Dynasty, and it is just a military town. How could the Turks, who were hungry and cold, be the enemy of the army who was waiting for trouble?
Jie Li, who finally escaped to Tunti Mountain, had only less than 40,000 remaining soldiers!
Jie Li realized that he was no match for the military at this time, so he planned to use a delayed strategy and sent Zhi Shisili as a special envoy to Chang'an to submit a letter of nationality to Kou Zhong and requested surrender, and expressed his willingness to entrust the country.
In fact, when the grass is green and the horse is fat, we will start again in the east mountain.
However, at this time, Kou Zhong had already arrived in Dingxiang with five thousand personal soldiers!
After hearing this, he immediately guessed Jie Li’s thoughts.
Although Jie Li lost several battles in a row, there are still many people scattered everywhere. If he goes north at Jikou, he might be able to get the protection of the ninth surname Tiel and survive this cold winter. In that way, he will do his best next year There is big trouble!
After informing the ministers of this matter in the hall, Kou Zhong turned his head to look at Xue Shou, "Duke of Song, urgently reported to Li Jing, and ordered him to speed up his march and rushed to Jikou within ten days to prevent Jie Li from escaping north!"
"Yes!" Xue Shou immediately received the order.
Kou Zhong thought about it and said, "I am going to leave it to King Xiaoyao to travel on the divine bird to avoid delaying military information!"
"yes!"
"Order! Xu Shiji and Qin Qiong's troops were divided into two groups in ten days and raided Tieshan!"
"Yes!" After Xue Shou received the order, he looked up at Kou Zhong, as if he had something to say.
Seeing this, Kou Zhong immediately asked, "What's the idea of Duke Song?"
Xue Su bowed, "Your Highness knows that he thinks that he should send someone to the Tieshan Mountain first to comfort him."
"It's reasonable!" Kou Zhong nodded in agreement after thinking for a moment, and then looked up at a middle-aged man near the door under the hall, "Xihe Gong."
The man was slender and dressed in a scholar, but the occasional flash of light in his eyes indicated that he had quite outstanding strength.
This person is Dugu Feng, which is Dugu Ce's father.
The Dugu family is one of the few, and it did not join the Li family. The entire clan is left in the Guanlong family, unlike the Wei family, Yu family, Du family, Yuan family and other major clans, where both sides have bets.
However, Kou Zhong never had any trust in the Dugu family, and even his title was reduced from the Duke of Ruyang County of the former Sui Dynasty to the Duke of Xihe County.
This trip to Teng Tieshan was too dangerous, and he planned to give Dugu Valve a chance.
"Your Highness!" Dugu Feng stood up and folded his fists, waiting for Kou Zhong's order.
When You Chuhong was seriously injured in Shenchi and was brought back to Chang'an by Gu Duce brothers and sisters, the entire Dugu family was in chaos.
At that time, although Li Yuan had broken his arms, the support of the Li family by closing the nobles and Buddhists did not reduce, but instead increased his efforts.
But Dugu Ce believed that Li Jia was unreliable!
Unfortunately, he had no say in the Dugu family. After the news of Yu Culture and the Palace Rebellion the following year, Dugu Sheng's death was returned, Dugu Ce once again proposed to surrender to the Song family army.
However, it failed.
It was not until Li Shimin wanted to plan for Chang'an that he found an opportunity to secretly hand a secret letter to Kou Zhong who was in Hanzhong at the time.
Only then did the Lonely Valve have the chance to jump back!
Kou Zhong, who was sitting upright on the head, had deep eyes and said calmly: "Donald Xihe would like to go to Tengti Mountain in seven days? See Jie Li to calm his heart!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Feng raised his eyebrows, saying that he was giving him the Dugu family a chance!
Yes, the trip to Teng Tieshan must be extremely dangerous, but as the saying goes, wealth and honor are in danger!
His Dugu family has long been lacking in wealth, but his position in doing big things is very embarrassing. Although he is also a waiter for the Ministry of Rites, all the affairs of the Ministry of Rites were handled by Shangshu Tang Jian, and he was completely an idle person.
Now that Kou Zhong has entrusted this important task to him, he obviously has the intention of placing Dugu family, and he will do it no matter how dangerous it is!
Dugu Feng immediately bowed without hesitation and shouted loudly: "I, Dugu Feng, accept the order!"
"Okay!" Kou Zhong got up and walked around from behind the table, came to Dugu Feng and helped him up. "Your trip is extremely dangerous, so be careful!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Seven days later, Jie Li, who was stationed in Tunti Mountain, was overjoyed when he saw Dugu Peak and thought that the slowdown had worked. The already exhausted Turks immediately breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed their defenses.
On the 18th day of the 12th lunar month, Xu Shiji sent a side general Su Dingfang to lead 200 cavalry as a vanguard, and quickly advanced under the cover of thick fog. He was discovered only after reaching the seven miles of Jie Li's tent!
Su Dingfang drove straight into the tent of the Turkic Jie Li Khan!
Xu Shiji led the army to follow, and Qin Qiong attacked from the east, and the Turkic army was defeated again!
Dugu Feng blocked more than ten Turkic masters alone, and protected the officials of the Dagan Rites behind him without any injury!
In this battle, the 80,000 army collected by Jie Li recently was annihilated and captured more than 50,000 people!
Although Jie Li fled north with his remaining troops again, Xiao Jin in the air stared at him early, and his body leaned slightly and flew towards the direction of the Jikou.
On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Jie Li tribe, which was less than 10,000 people, was hit by Li Jing in Jikou, and this battle completely defeated Jie Li.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of his generals to block the enemy, Jie Li took his son Dieloshi and two hundred personal soldiers, turned his horse's head and fled westward, preparing to join Fu Yun, King Fu Qian (his father) of Tuyuhun, or Qu Wentai, King Gaochang. .
Anyone can do it, as long as he can get through this winter!
Jie Li, who was running southwest from Jikou, did not know that his whereabouts had been clearly seen by Xiao Jin in the sky.
After receiving the "email" brought by Xiao Jin, Shan Xiongxin's troops in the Lingwu direction, they immediately brought troops north and intercepted prisoners near Huaiyuan (now Yinchuan).
When Kou Zhong heard that Jie Li was captured, he was overjoyed and immediately spread the news to the three armies.
It was the end of the year. After the soldiers learned about this, the sound of "Wan Sheng" continued for a long time.
At this point, there is no more worry about the north!—
It took too much time to check the information, and today there is only one chapter, I am very sorry
Chapter completed!
