After sitting in the military tent and thinking about his next plan, Qin Wenyuan stood up in front of the map and stared at Pingzhou. He thought that if he wanted to realize his ideal, he must make early plans for the Liaodong area and deal with the Eastern Turks in the north.
After that, we have to start competing with the Shanyu Dudufu, Shiwei, Mohe, Xi tribe and other forces, and the Xue Yantuo tribe seems to be able to play some role in it.
Looking at the historical knowledge of previous lives, Qin Wenyuan knew that the Tang Dynasty actually had no real control over Liaodong. The reason why Emperor Sui and Li Shimin fought against Goryeo was related to the situation in Liaodong, which was not mentioned on the surface.
Territory and just asking Goryeo to become a vassal is just an excuse. In fact, the main reason is the fertile land in Liaodong.
After hundreds of years of historical changes, Pingzhou was an area that had been subject to constant disputes since the Warring States Period. During the Sui Dynasty, Lulong County was conveniently placed under its jurisdiction. However, when the Tang Dynasty was founded, Lulong was placed under the jurisdiction of Hebei Province.
Looking at the map, Qin Wenyuan thought a lot. He knew that if he wanted to control this area, the first thing he needed to do was to remove the threat from the Goryeo Kingdom. This required him to build a solid defense line in Pingzhou and Yingzhou to protect the Northeast.
The various ethnic groups in the region used gentle and cruel military and political methods to achieve their goals, which is why he cooperated with the Xueyantuo tribe and harvested Turkic prisoners.
"Come here! Call Ma San."
When Masan heard the general's call and entered the tent with a smile, Qin Wenyuan said to him.
"Ma San, you have recently prepared some scouts to dress up as businessmen and take the initiative to contact the merchants of various ethnic groups in the Sogdian Kangmaiti and Yunzhou cities. If you have the opportunity, you will go deep into the front lines of Pingzhou and Yingzhou to inquire about the military and military affairs there.
We must have a clear understanding of the living conditions of the various ethnic groups, especially the defense of Dragon City."
"The villain will go and prepare personnel and some supplies according to the general's instructions!"
After Masan received the general's order, he resigned and went to work on his own. Qin Wenyuan summoned Sima Yuntian, Zhao Meng, Wu Ping, Zhou Cang and other generals accompanying the army to discuss how to rectify the Turkic prisoners of war next.
According to Qin Wenyuan's own opinion, the first thing that needs to be done for these prisoners of war is to make them accept the cruel fact that the Eastern Turks are about to destroy their country, even if this fact makes these Turks harbor deep hatred for the Tang Dynasty.
People! Only under extreme blows can they let go of the remaining illusions in their hearts and either die or be reborn!
This is the saying: If you don’t destroy, you won’t establish.
At the Yunzhou Barracks campus, Qin Wenyuan, wearing full body armor and holding a long halberd, fought with several Turkic generals. The empty field of the campus was surrounded by many soldiers of the Qin family army and Turkic soldiers who had surrendered and been incorporated.
Kilisu Gu, Zhao Meng, Wu Ping, Zhou Cang and other generals in the army were also neatly dressed and stood on the sidelines to watch.
Murphy was wearing silver soft armor, with a sword hanging on his thin waist. Surrounded by several female soldiers, he rode a tall horse to the sidelines.
Qin Wenyuan has been in the camp where the Turkic soldiers are stationed for nearly half a month. In addition to handling military affairs every day, he hangs out with these Turkic soldiers and generals. He slightly changes the training method of the Qin family army and rectifies these sergeants. In half a month,
The transformation of these unorganized soldiers from standing military posture to ideological transformation has also achieved initial results, making these former prairie warriors realize the importance of discipline and absolute obedience in overall combat.
After getting along with each other for a period of time, the Turks were very happy with the new master they swore to worship in the sky. Whether it was his martial arts skills or the way he handled things, they were convinced. Several generals took advantage of the end of the day to stand in military postures.
At that time, they all mentioned that they wanted to fight Qin Wenyuan, which was considered as a celebration.
Turks admire the strong the most. No matter you are strong or not, if you don't even have the courage to challenge, you will be looked down upon. How could Xu Tian refuse to these men on the grassland who treat martial arts as a game?
Qin Wenyuan used the "Fangtian Painting Halberd" move repeatedly, and his posture on horseback was varied. The halberd pointed east and west, sweeping south and north, forcing five or six tooth generals to lose sight of one thing. Several Turkic tooth generals had armor on their armor.
Leaving traces of being stabbed by a halberd.
This is because Qin Wenyuan did not draw out the energy in his Dantian and relied solely on moves. If it were on a real battlefield, most of these generals would have been knocked out. The Qin army watching from the sidelines cheered for the young marshal's prowess, and the Turkic soldiers
But he was proud of his new master, and the cheers came one after another.
But when he saw Qin Wenyuan on horseback using ferocious killing moves to attack several tooth generals, he shouted loudly.
"Go!"
The murderous aura rolled up like an autumn wind sweeping down fallen leaves was so strong that several Ya generals raised their horses to dodge, but they forgot that the weapons in their hands had been knocked to the ground by Xu Tian's killing technique. Several Ya generals sensed Qin Wenyuan.
They were all frightened by the force of that fatal blow. Knowing that the general was giving them face and not knocking him off his horse, he ordered his horse to take a few steps back, and they all jumped off their horses and knelt down and shouted loudly in unison.
"Thank you so much for your mercy, General. Your skills are like those of a god of war. We admire him!"
"Get up! You are not weak anymore. I will teach you some killing moves when I am free. I believe it will be of some use in future battles."
When all the tooth generals heard what their master said, they were all excited and kowtowed together, truly respecting Qin Wenyuan as if he were a god.
…
A few months passed in a blink of an eye. The Xu family army stationed in Yunzhou added nearly 5,000 Turkic wolf cavalry. Its strength was already greater than any garrison of the Tang Dynasty in this area. The scale of the Qin family army aroused the attention of Wei Xiao, the governor of Youzhou.
Jie was worried and secretly wrote to Li Shimin to report everything about the Qin army.
In the same month, the ministers Ju Guogong, Tang Lian, the Minister of Honglu Temple, and General An Xiuren, who were sent by the imperial court to console the Turkic Jieli Khan, arrived at the Turkic tribe to start negotiations with Jieli Khan.
At this time, Li Jing led his troops to "Baidao" to join Qin Shiji's army stationed there. Soon after the two met, they had an in-depth exchange of views on the current situation in Turks in the Chinese military tent.
Qin Shiji gestured to Li Jing on the map hanging in the military tent.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Although Jieli Khan's tribe was defeated today, there are still many people under his command. It would be troublesome if this guy led his troops through the desert to seek shelter from the Nine Surnamed Tiele tribe.
At that time, the road was far and dangerous and it would be difficult for our army to catch up with the Turks and annihilate them in one fell swoop. Now the emperor sent Tang Lian to wait for the Jieli Ministry to comfort them. Qin thought that the Turks' defense must be relaxed at this time. Why don't we take this opportunity to make a surprise attack?
, wouldn’t this be able to defeat the Turkic army across the board and minimize the losses of our Tang army?”
Li Jing was very happy to hear Qin Shiji's judgment on the situation, held Qin Shiji's hands and said excitedly.
"Brother Qin's words are as classic as Han Xin's strategy to destroy Tian Heng, and they are deeply admired by Li Jing!"
Zhang Gongjin, the deputy general manager of Dingxiang Road who was accompanying him, heard what Li Jing and Xu Shiji said but said disapprovingly.
"You are waiting for the ministers who disobey the emperor's will and have no concern for the lives of the ministers who go to the Turkic tribes! If the Duke of Ju Tang Lian and the general An Xiuren and others fall into the enemy camp, what should I do to you?
If we don't agree with this arbitrary plan, and until the emperor's imperial edict comes, we'd better not get into trouble."
"What do you know? Since ancient times, the foreign king will not accept his life! As long as we can annihilate the Turks in this war and make it happen once and for all, the safety of several court ministers does not matter. The minister's life is life, it is difficult to
Otherwise, the lives of the soldiers under our command are not life. Do you know how many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will be less injured by doing this? I think you have eyes on your butt. If you think this is me and Mr. Qin colluding,
, you can take your own soldiers back to Chang'an City to join us, and you will not have to take responsibility for whatever I do."
Li Jinghan said to Zhang Gongjin with a straight face. He had long been tired of this arrogant and uncaring deputy. This person was not very capable but he showed off his power and pointed fingers in the military camp all day long. It was really shameful.
After being robbed mercilessly by Li Jing, Zhang Gongjin rolled his sleeves and exited the Chinese army's tent. Looking at the back of the man who left by himself, Li Jing said to Qin Shiji again.
"Brother Qin, we don't have to restrain our hands when we act. As long as it is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, we don't care what others say. I envy your nephew for this. As long as we think it is right, we will do it."
Qin Shiji and Li Jing reached a consensus and decided to send troops to raid the remaining army of Jieli Khan.
That night, Li Jing set out with his elite troops, and Qin Shiji led a large army to follow up.
Li Jing's army quietly advanced into Yinshan Mountain despite the heavy snow. He soon discovered that there were more than a thousand Turkic military tents in front of him, so his soldiers quietly sneaked into the Turkic camp. Seeing that the Turkic army was still asleep and unsuspecting, they captured them all, with almost no loss.
Looking at these frightened Turkic troops, Li Jing even boldly escorted them to accompany the army. He was not afraid that the captured Turkic troops would riot on the way and affect the entire raid plan.
After Qin Shiji's army caught up with him, Li Jing felt relieved. After handing the prisoners over to the custody of the Tongmo Army led by Qin Shiji, the two of them discussed their plans again, thinking that the troops would rest in the dense forests of Yinshan Mountain for a few days before seeing another opportunity.
At that time, a full-scale attack will be launched to capture Jieli Khan and end the war with the Turks.
Just when the two of them were making plans and preparations, there was still a cavalry force of several thousand people approaching quietly from the snowfield of Yin Mountain. However, it was the Qin family army led by Qin Wenyuan who set out from Yunzhou to advance into Yin Mountain.
Not long after this army entered Yinshan, they saw that more than a thousand Turkic camps were empty. Xu Tian estimated that the Turkic army had been raided by the Tang army. After the former army scouts made inquiries and reported clearly, Qin Wenyuan was extremely impressed by the boldness and strategy of his uncle and Li Jing.
, the Tang Dynasty was very lucky to have these two men leading the army.
When the Qin army arrived at Yinshan and approached Li Jing's army and Qin Shiji's army, Qin Wenyuan sent a military messenger to the camps of the two armies to report the news of his army's arrival, so as to prevent the two armies from misjudging the sudden appearance of his troops in Yinshan and causing friction.
When Li Jing and Qin Shiji received Qin Wenyuan's letter, they not only cursed this guy for being lawless but also felt a little happy. They both thought to themselves.
"Is that right? This is the unruly boy in my heart. I'm so lucky to have a successor in the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Jing sent an order to the Qin family's army to station nearby and form a corner with the Tongmo army led by Qin Shiji. After they had rested and recuperated, they marched together.
A few days passed in a blink of an eye. On a morning filled with thick fog, Li Jing ordered his general Su Dingfang to lead 200 cavalry as the vanguard to advance quickly through the cover of heavy fog. At the same time, he ordered Qin Wenyuan to lead the Qin family's cavalry to follow on the flanks, waiting for the vanguard to launch a charge.
After that, he attacked on all fronts, but he and Qin Shiji led the army to suppress the enemy and settle the situation.
Su Dingfang led 200 cavalry all the way to a place seven or eight miles away from Jieli Khan's tent before being discovered by the Turkic army. He then ordered the 200 vanguard troops to speed up the assault. Qin Wenyuan's front army launched a charge and then ordered the Qin army to attack on all fronts.
The flying hooves of the horses on the road rolled up thousands of piles of residual snow, and the horses with white mist spraying from their mouths and noses screamed and kicked into the enemy camp.
The two armies quickly engaged in battle. Su Dingfang was blocked by a Turkic general and fought hard. The two hundred sergeants under his command were like droplets of water submerged in the river among the tens of thousands of Turkic troops. Rushing left and right could only build momentum.
The chaos started only after the Qin army's five thousand cavalry rushed into the Turkic army. Qin Wenyuan's halberd swept away several Turkic generals who were blocking the way and charged all the way to Jieli Khan's military tent. Jieli Khan saw the fierce attack of the Tang army and no longer cared about it.
In addition, he took the horse and quickly got on the horse's back, calling loudly to his subordinates to block the attack of the Tang army. However, he led a group of trusted soldiers and his son Dieluoshi to escape westward on a fast horse.
The two generals Qin Wenyuan and Su Dingfang met and captured the generals in the Turkic rebel army. They fought against each other when they saw the soldiers, and their blood stained their armor like two kings of hell. The cavalry under their command also chased the Turkic soldiers to cover up and kill them.
The scene was such that the Turks who witnessed it did not dare to think about it again after several years.
When Li Jing and Qin Shiji arrived with their armies, the remnants of the Turkic army saw the Tang army coming all over the mountains and plains again. The army, which was originally panicked and out of formation, divided its troops to fight with the newly arrived Tang army. Li Jing and Qin Shiji used their troops to cover up the attack and killed them directly.
The sun and moon were dim everywhere in the open field, and the sounds of screams and clashing weapons were mixed in the battlefield. There were ownerless horses and corpses with broken limbs everywhere. Blood stained the ground red, and it was a real scene of Shura killing.
Several Turkic generals on the battlefield looked up to the sky and sighed, feeling helpless. The Turkic army no longer had the ability to fight with the Tang army. If they fought again, they would be completely destroyed. Surrender was the only way out. Maybe some Turkic seeds could still be preserved.
.
The Turkic army was defeated! They were scattered in the black mountains and white snow fields...
After being killed by tens of thousands of soldiers by the Tang army, the Turkic soldiers finally dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
In this battle, the Tang army captured more than 100,000 Turkic men and women.
Before the war, An Xiuren, the general of Tang Lian, the Duke of Ju, who was sent by the Tang Dynasty to the Turkic camp, hid in one place when Jieli Khan escaped. When they found an opportunity, they fled the Turkic camp and came to the Tang army.
In the end, there was a narrow escape.
After Jieli Khan led a small number of trusted troops to escape from the Yinshan camp, they rushed into the "clouds" in panic and tried to flee westward, intending to defect to King Murong Fuyun of Tuyuhun or King Qu Wentai of Gaochang Kingdom. On the way to escape, his trusted subordinates rushed to the camp.
He rebelled, and his son Dieluoshi also got separated from him while fleeing. In the panic, Jieli Khan gathered the last few dozen cavalry around him, and looked at the empty wilderness behind him that no longer had the same momentum as before, and he couldn't help but feel sad.
With big tears streaming down his face, he continued heading west.
