Chapter three hundred and twentieth eight prisoners
On August 14th, the Turkic army finally conquered the last pass from Yuanzhou to Xinzhou as scheduled.
On the top of the city, Zhao Deyan raised his feather fan and gave guidance to Jie Li Khan: "After passing Xin and Fengzhou, the Khan will be in the world, it will be just around the corner!"
These words really made Jie Likhan, who was used to the story of the heroic ruler in the north, feel excited.
This time he launched an army to attack Tang, because he followed the advice of the Han aide Zhao Deyan, and tried to take advantage of the turmoil in the Li Tang Dynasty royal family and the people's hearts were not stable, and to attack Guanzhong as quickly as possible and occupy important areas in the capital.
Zhao Deyan believed that the Turks were not his best to attack the city, but as a nation on horseback, cavalry war was definitely far above the Tang army. Once the two Khans entered the Guanzhong Plain, which had no dangerous mountains and rivers, it was only a matter of siege. If they could quickly seize all the important rivers and bridges in the capital and cut off the connection between the king-supporting troops and the capital in the states outside the Tang Dynasty, it would definitely make some people with heavy troops have different ambitions. By then, even if the Tang was safe and sound, the world would be in chaos first. The Turks would definitely take this opportunity to achieve a great opportunity to achieve the cause of kings and dominance in the Central Plains.
It was precisely in order to save time and achieve this goal as soon as possible that he did not recruit other Turkic troops in remote areas, but instead promised to win over Tuli Khan, whose territory was closer to the Tang Dynasty, came to help in the war.
However, it was easy to know and difficult to do. As soon as the ambitious Jie Li Khan entered the territory of Xinzhou, he faced a headache for him.
Because they found that the villages in the countryside were all deserted, and the crops in the fields had been harvested, and even a few grasses were found. The Anding, Yinpan, Linjing, Liangyuan and other counties under Xinzhou were even closed and were ready for battle.
This scene is a sign of a solid wall and clear field.
The food and grass carried by the entire Turkic army was only enough to support the needs of ten days at most. If enough supplies were not obtained in time, the advance plan he had formulated before would be completely lost.
In view of this, Jie Li Khan decided not to get entangled with the military and civilians of Jingzhou, and quickly passed through Jing and Feng states and directly entered the hinterland of Guanzhong.
But he was about to rush forward, but suddenly he got bad news and good news.
The bad news is that the Tang army used the Changwu Ancient City built by the Sui Dynasty as its base camp and had stationed tens of thousands of people and horses in line on the ancient road of Binzhou.
You should know that there are many mountains and valleys in Binzhou. The entire land is divided into northeast and southwest by Jingshui. The terrain is narrower than Jingzhou and the battlefield capacity is very limited. Jie Li Khan can only divide his troops and horses into multiple groups to participate in the war. In this way, the two sides will inevitably engage in a protracted battle. Instead of risking the war of attrition, he might as well turn the horse head in advance to fight back home.
Fortunately, there is another good news. The troops discovered untreated grains in several abandoned forts. Jie Li Khan urgently summoned his confidant to raise the tent to discuss the matter. Zhao Deyan analyzed: "If Qin King Li Shimin applied this plan, he would definitely burn it and burn the village and destroy the fields. Although this princess of the Guardian was a bit unexpected in his quick and decisive behavior, he was still a woman after all, and had more kindness than Li Shimin. Seeing her move, she obviously wanted to escape and leave some food for the people of Xinzhou. But how could this be hidden from our experienced warriors? The sages of the Han people said, "If God does not take it, they will suffer the blame." Khan must not waste the "good intention" of the Guardian princess."
Tuli Khan, Zhishili and others all expressed strong agreement with Zhao Deyan's view. Jie Li Khan no longer hesitated. According to the plan discussed at the meeting, Xinzhou was divided into many small areas and allocated them to various tribes one by one for plunder. The eastern part of Jingzhou was close to the dangerous area of the Tang army, and Jie Li Khan, who was full of bad water, naturally, as usual, assigned to those non-direct troops who were used to take the lead...

...
In western Binzhou, the Tang army camp.
It was early morning and before dawn, Li Yao led several entourages to a high observation deck to observe the movements on the nearby post road.
After a while, the sound of a large group of people marching faintly came from the distance.
Li Yaoxun looked over and saw a large flag with the word "Feng" raised high in front of him, and immediately recognized the identity of the team. It was the Tianjie Army led by General Feng Li, the left guard.
Soon, the camp gate opened with a bang. Li Yao got off the lookout table, stood at the door to greet him, and asked with a laugh, "Did General Feng win last night?"
Feng Li first rushed to Li Yao, suddenly tied the reins, turned over and dismounted, then knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and replied: "Report to the Grand Chief Executive, his subordinates attacked the Turkic outpost at night, beheaded more than 300 levels, captured 500 enemies, and captured one special service."
Li Yaoxu helped him for a moment and asked hurriedly: "Where is that special agent?"
Feng Li waved his hand and ordered: "Bring the captains up!"
Two burly soldiers quickly threw a large-tied prisoner at Li Yao's feet.
Li Yao asked in Turkic words: "Your name?"
The captive half-kneeled, looked up and saw that the other party was an extremely beautiful girl. He was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "The noble princess of the Tang Dynasty, my name is Asina Piliga, and I am the cousin of Jie Li Khan, and my father is Dulan Khan."
Li Yao looked at him carefully and saw that his face was vicissitudes and his beard was gray and gray. He looked at him at least fifty years old, but he was still wearing a pair of armor with the words "Master of Thousands of Veterans" engraved on his chest. He couldn't help but feel moved. He hurriedly called his personal soldiers to help him up and said with a warm face: "It turned out to be the special agent of Viriga. I have been admired for a long time. If the special agent does not dislike it, I will sit in my tent, what if?"
The Viliga people became a cum and immediately understood that the other party was preparing to collect information from him, but his life was still in the hands of others. How could he say no? He could only nod like pounding garlic.
When he entered the tent, Li Yao tied up Piliga and asked Lan Shaoying to get a sumptuous breakfast. Piliga was in a bitter and cold place all year round. Seeing the delicious wine and delicacies on the table, he grabbed a carefully cooked chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth. This bite almost fainted from the fragrance. Then he ate it voraciously, as if he had never tasted these things at this age.
After the case was empty, Piliga realized that he was not here to be a diner. He quickly lowered his head and eyebrows, and quickly returned to what a defeated general should have.
The father of Dulan Khan and Jie Li Khan Qimin Khan were originally a pair of mortal enemies. As his son, it was not easy for Viliga to live on the grassland until today. Therefore, when Li Yao saw that Viliga had no equal to the leader of the grassland, he did not find it strange, but just exclaimed: "Following this food, the special agent is really strong!"
Viriga burped, imitated the tone of the people of the Central Plains, bowed and said, "My ugly appearance made the princess laugh."
Li Yao waved his hand and said he would not care. He asked with a smile: "I wonder if the Special Forces have their own territory in the Turks?"
Viliga didn't expect that the other party would chat with him, and shook his head with a wry smile: "No."
Li Yao deliberately hung up an incredible expression and asked again: "How many wives and children do the Special Service have?"
Viriga's expression suddenly became dark and he replied dejectedly: "I have only one wife, but I can't survive the winter of the year..."
