He wanted to exaggerate and belittle Fang Jun in order to show off his abilities, but he didn't want to offend Qibi Kele... He didn't know Qibi Kele, but as the long history of the Shanyu Protectorate, he had a lot of knowledge about the various tribes on the grassland.
He had heard a lot about it, and Qibi Kele angrily mentioned that he was the guard of Wuchuan Town, so Xiao Siye knew it was him.
As one of the two leaders of the Qibi tribe, his position in Xue Yantuo's back is second only to that of the Uighurs. Compared with the Uighurs' ambitions, Qibi Kele, who led half of the tribe to surrender to Yinan Khan, was Xue Yantuo's
The most loyal deployment of the Ministry.
If you offend Qibi Kele, even if you have great achievements, you will not be able to get along well in Xue Yantuo...
However, his explanation made Qibi Kele relieved, and he immediately asked excitedly: "Is everything you said true?"
He was really frightened by Tang Jun's firearms!
There was a loud explosion and smoke filled the air, and then there was a rain of lead bullets that covered the sky. How could flesh and blood be able to stop it? The soldiers under his command were not elite, but in front of the neat array of the Tang army, they were like a group of weak soldiers.
Lambs are usually slaughtered wantonly, without the ability to fight back.
He was already in despair.
Such indestructible weapons made the fast horse raids that the grassland tribes relied on useless. No matter how brave the warriors on the grassland were and were not afraid of death, what was the use?
Now I know that firearms also have weaknesses. Once the ammunition is exhausted, it is no different from a fire stick...
Xiao Siye said seriously: "How dare I deceive you? If Fang Jun had enough ammunition, after capturing Zhao Xincheng, he would have taken a short rest and then sent troops north to reach Yu Dujun Mountain. This place would have been covered by the flames of war! But he gave up the importance of soldiers and speed.
The main purpose of the battle was to stay in Zhao Xincheng again and again, and the situation is self-evident!"
Everyone in the account suddenly became excited.
Tu Lishi got up, knelt down on one knee in front of Yi Nan Khan, and said loudly: "Father Khan, since the Tang army has run out of ammunition, I asked for orders to lead his warriors to attack Zhao Xincheng and capture Fang Jun alive and offer him in front of Father Khan's tent!"
"
Everyone also asked for help.
In the past, it was the grassland tribes who bullied the Han people. They often attacked the Han people's prefectures and counties, burned, killed, and looted. Now the Han people are killing them at their doorsteps. How can they endure it?
The prairie warriors were already brave, but now they heard that the Tang army had become toothless tigers, and they all felt like fighting!
Yinan Khan did not believe Xiao Siye's words.
This is such a big deal, who knows whether Xiao Siye is sincerely seeking refuge with Xue Yantuo? What if this person is sent to the "dead room" by Fang Jun? If he gets hot-headed, he will send an army out, thus falling into Fang Jun's trap
This is a treacherous plot to ruin the foundation of the Xueyantuo Khanate without even thinking. It’s too late to regret it!
He looked at Xiao Siye and said with a smile: "Chief Xiao has come a long way, eating in the wind and snow all the way, so you must be tired and trapped. I will send someone to take you down to have a good rest and refresh yourself, and then head to Zhao Xincheng with the army.
Retake the lost ground! In this battle, there are many places where I can rely on Xiao Changshi. I hope you can take good care of your health. In the future, you will have glory, wealth, fame, power, and enjoyment for a long time!"
Xiao Siye burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Khan, for your thoughtfulness. I am deeply grateful."
Even if someone takes Xiao Siye down, he will be resettled.
Inside the account, Yi Nan Khan looked around, looking at each of his subordinates who were full of fighting spirit. He shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "Even if there is a high probability of this happening, we must not be careless. No one can guarantee that Xiao Siye will be able to succeed."
I came here with sincere money, if there is any fraud, it will be too late to regret it!"
He looked at his legitimate son, Su Lisei, and ordered: "Send scouts immediately to investigate the vicinity of Zhao Xincheng. Every move of the Tang army must be under surveillance, and send fast horses to the direction of Nuozhenshui to find out whether there are reinforcements from the Tang army."
Come, how many people there are, and where to go. As the Han people say, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be able to fight a hundred battles. You must not act on impulse, let alone be careless, and you will be in a situation where you will never recover!"
Everyone was convinced and shouted in unison: "The Great Khan is mighty! We accept the order!"
Yinan Khan nodded slightly, and then said to Tizhen Daguan: "Recruit all the tribes near Yudujun Mountain, and order their generals to immediately organize the young and strong members of the tribe to fight against the Yazhang army. Once it is found out that the Tang army entrenched in Zhao Xincheng is really using ammunition,
When they were exhausted and their firearms were ineffective, the army came out in unison and annihilated them all in one go, demonstrating the majesty of our Xueyantuo Khanate that cannot be provoked!"
"Here!"
The generals agreed with a loud voice and their fighting spirit was high.
*****
Chang'an, Tai Chi Palace.
Li Ji, Changsun Wuji, Xiao Yu, Li Daozong and others gathered in the Dragon Palace to discuss the Eastern Expedition, and the situation in northern Xinjiang was also discussed at the same time...
The first month is about to come out, and the weather is getting warmer day by day.
His Majesty Li Er's condition has recovered slightly, and he can already walk around with help, but he still can't see the wind, but his face is gradually turning red.
It is a pleasant thing to recover from the illness, but now His Majesty Li Er is very anxious and irritable.
The Eastern Expedition had been prepared for several years, and now everything was ready. However, a sudden serious illness caused delays and had to be put on hold indefinitely.
It’s not that without him as the emperor’s charioteer, there would be no way to conquer Goguryeo. A million troops are waiting at the border. A single order is enough to defeat Goguryeo. There are countless famous ministers and generals in the court. Which one cannot command the three armies in a battle?
It's just that he has been preparing for it for so long, waiting to embezzle Goguryeo's military exploits to make his reputation even higher and move towards the highest honor of "one emperor through the ages". How can he miss this opportunity and achieve the achievements of others?
?
However, the current situation is that even if he recovers from his illness, he cannot start the Eastern Expedition unscrupulously...
Must beware of Xue Yantuo!
In the Shenlong Palace, His Majesty Li Er became very angry as he thought about the current situation in Northern Xinjiang.
If Fang Jun hadn't been so bold as to send troops without authorization, how could Xue Yantuo have dared to cause anything while the Tang Dynasty was on its Eastern Expedition? The situation is completely different now. Fang Jun's troops went out of their way to attack Mobei, which would definitely anger Yi Nan. If it happened at this time,
During the Tang Dynasty's Eastern Expedition, he sent an army to cut off the food routes of the Tang Dynasty. The millions of Eastern Expedition troops would soon fall into difficulties in logistical supply, and were always in danger of destruction.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He threw a teacup in his hand on the ground and His Majesty Li Er cursed: "This bastard makes me angry!"
Li Ji, Changsun Wuji, Xiao Yu, Li Daozong and others were as silent as cicadas, and sat solemnly on their chairs, not daring to breathe.
Everyone has grudges and entanglements with Fang Jun, but those are just private relationships. Nowadays, matters in Northern Xinjiang are related to national policy, and no one will mix public and private affairs. Therefore, no matter those who are hostile to Fang Jun or those who are close to Fang Jun, nothing can be said at this time.
It's inappropriate, so just shut up.
His Majesty Li Er is furious.
He still hasn't figured out why Fang Jun went all the way to Mobei. Was it because he was so bold or because he really believed Xiao Siye's "fake imperial edict"...
Counting the days, the officials sent out to announce the decree should have arrived in Mobei, but I don't know when they will be able to catch up with Youtun Wei.
What worries him even more is that north of Baidao is Wuchuan Town where Xue Yantuo is entrenched. Xue Yantuo regards it as the throat of Mobei and has always sent heavy troops to garrison it. The guard is Xue Yantuo's famous general Qibi Kele! The city has high walls and thick walls.
It is heavily guarded and guarded by famous generals, making it as solid as a rock.
The armies of the Tang Dynasty in northern Xinjiang were mainly engaged in city defense or field operations, and were rarely equipped with siege equipment. In the absence of siege equipment, Youtunwei wanted to capture the impregnable Wuchuan Town.
A heavy price must be paid.
Even if Wuchuan Town is captured, there are countless Hu tribes on the vast grasslands and icy snow. Each of them may cause heavy damage to Youtun Guards, and they will face Xue Yantuo's continuous reinforcements on a flat area.
How long can Youtunwei withstand the impact?
His Majesty Li Er naturally knows that Youtun Guard is equipped with a lot of firearms, but... no matter how powerful the firearms are, can they make one of Youtun Guard's soldiers equal to ten?
Faced with the overwhelming onslaught of Xue Yantuo's cavalry, firearms were useless!
Maybe, the Youtun Guard will be the end of the entire army being destroyed. With one guard, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were lost in Mobei, which made His Majesty Li Er extremely angry. However, even if he now wishes to cut Fang Jun, a fool like him, into pieces with a thousand knives,
But if Fang Junruo really died in Mobei, it would definitely be heartbreaking...
That stick is indeed irritating, but when I do things normally, I really appreciate it.
There was the sound of footsteps outside the hall.
Before he could reach it, the chamberlain outside the door quickly stepped inside and reported: "Your Majesty, a battle report has arrived from Northern Xinjiang!"
His Majesty Li Er straightened his face and said: "Pass it in!"
