Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 125
Renmei didn't expect Yang Shihou to kill his horse with a single shot, and was crushed under the horse before he could hide.

The left and right personal guards came to rescue one after another, and Yang Shihou picked several of them, and then Yang Shihou's personal guards also followed, and Hitomi had no chance to escape.

Seeing this, the second prince Di Yin rushed forward to rescue him, saying from both left and right: "Tang's army is attacking on both sides, if you don't leave, you will be surrounded."

"Hey!"

Di Yin heaved a long sigh, turned his horse and fled without hesitation.

The Uighur Qingqi wanted to leave, but Yang Shihou had no choice but to attack the Uighur Khan Tent with 2000 men. Although there were some backup players, there were still many gaps. Di Yin quickly broke through the encirclement and escaped into the long night.

At dawn, they counted more than 13 enemies, and captured more than [-] people, except the eldest prince Renmei, the left and right prime ministers and officials under the Uighur Khan's tent, seven concubines of Tianmu Khan, and Tianmu Khan who was [-] years old. The youngest daughter of Tiangong Princess Qiqige.

There are not many cattle and sheep, more than [-] horses, [-] cattle, and [-] sheep.

The silver gun effect Jiejun lost less than 200 people in battle.

"General, how do you deal with these people?"

"Send people to inform Chi Haijian that the horses will not stop, people will not stop, and they will quickly approach our side, and our army will not stop, so hurry to march to Guazhou."

"promise!"

Yang Shihou frowned, thinking about the problem of silver spears serving the Jiejun Army. Although the silver spears serving the Jiejun Army's heavy armor equipment is very strong, it is strong in charging the formation, and it is strong when the two armies are close to each other.

And when entangled with these barbarians, the shortcomings are also prominent.

That is, even if you win, you just can't catch up, and you can't expand the results of the battle.

Master Yang said in a heartfelt way: "Take 1000 good shooters from the army. They only have breastplates, waist knives, bows and arrows. Someone will personally command them. The rest of the troops will be the same as before. Both men and horses will wear heavy armor."

Just when Yang Shihou was thinking about changing the composition of the Silver Spear Xiaojie Army, Tianmu Khan had already fled to Dingxi City at the foot of Yanzhi Mountain.

Dingxi City is an ancient city in the Western Han Dynasty. It is said to be a city, but it is actually a military fortress with a length and width of [-] zhang. At that time, Huo Qubing defeated King Hunxie of the Huns here. Repaired, and then gradually abandoned.

During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, the city was rebuilt and 2000 troops were stationed. However, after the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty gradually lost control of Hexi, and the city gradually became deserted.

After the Uighurs occupied Ganzhou, they rebuilt the city and garrisoned [-] troops to guard against the raids of the Jiesi tribe.

On that day, after Tianmu Khan arrived here, he settled down according to the city, but all his servants and generals were lost, and Tianmu Khan was about to tear himself apart, determined to take revenge.

After a while, the second son Di Yin rushed to Dingxi City with dozens of guards.

As soon as he entered the city, Di Yin rushed into the big tent and cried:

"Father Khan, eldest brother Renmei is trapped in the battle, and all mothers are gone, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead!"

"what!"

Tianmu Khan was furious and slapped the desk hard.

"Summon the people, this Khan wants to pay with blood."

"Father Khan, the Great Tang and the Uyghurs have always been in harmony. When the Tang Court has something to do, they often ask the Great Khan to send troops. It is not necessarily the intention of the Tang Court, but the private actions of the lower vassals."

"So, what should I do?"

"Report to the imperial court, explain what happened, and tell Tang Ting that if we are not satisfied with the handling, the Great Khan will personally lead [-] troops to Chang'an for interrogation."

Tianmu Khan nodded.

"This strategy is very good, but this Khan can't let go of this Tang army. He ordered all the ministries to gather in Dingxi City. This Khan will let these people die without a place to bury them."

"promise!"

Uighur's report was faster than Yang Shihou's. Li Ye didn't know what Yang Shihou had done until he received Tianmu Khan's reprimand letter.

In terms of strategy, Li Ye is still used to discussing with Jing Xiang.

"Shi Hou has made a fool of himself. He raided the Uyghur tent at night and captured the Uighur prince, Tianmu Khan's concubine, and hundreds of Uyghur officials."

Jing Xiang said: "I congratulate Your Majesty, you have won another strong general who can run thousands of miles and win every battle. It is Huo Qubing of the Tang Dynasty."

"Jingxiang thinks this is appropriate?"

Jing Xiang laughed and said, "Why did Your Majesty grant Zhang Huaishen, an envoy to the rebel army?"

When asked by Jingxiang, Li Ye also laughed. The mission of granting the Guiyi Army Jiedu Envoy is of course for Hexi. Since the Tang Dynasty was going to conquer Ganzhou, what difference does it make if it is early or late.

Seeing this, Li Ye asked with a smile: "After all, the Uighur has the merits of establishing the Dingding and the country. They sent troops to put down the Anshi Rebellion and the Huangchao Rebellion. So, aren't you afraid of the criticism of the world?"

Jing Xiang's face was condensed, and he said: "The Uighur, the jackal, put down the Anshi Rebellion, Luoyang was empty, sent troops to Huangchao, and there were no people and animals along the way.

The minister secretly thought that the use of Uighur soldiers by the imperial court would greatly hurt the hearts of the people, and it was not worthwhile.There is no one in the world who is grateful to the Uighurs. Now that the imperial court wants to take over the hometown of Ganzhou, how can anyone in the world criticize it? "

Li Ye nodded.

He took out a memorial from the table and handed it to Jingxiang.

"The letter of remonstrance from Yin Jifeng, the deputy defense envoy of Hexi Capital, begging me to allow him to lead troops to Pingliang. This Yin Jimu is a member of the Yi army, and the Yin family is also a big family in Shazhou. What do you think about this matter, Jingxiang?"

Jingxiang took a look at the memorial, thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, I think that Xu Yinjimu can lead troops in Pingliang, and the imperial court can grant him a large army."

Li Ye took a sip of tea and said, "Isn't Aiqing afraid that the Guiyi army will become bigger, and the court can't control it?"

Jing Xiang shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, in addition to the Zhang family, there are also big families such as the Cao family, the Yin family, and the Suo family in Shazhou. The court can also support the Yin family. Under the righteousness of the court, we will naturally work together to restore my homeland of the Tang Dynasty." , but if the Zhang family has a different intention, the imperial court can also allow the Yin family to check and balance the Zhang family."

Li Ye said: "Allow him to recruit soldiers and horses by himself?"

Jing Xiang shook his head and said: "I think that after conquering Liangzhou, Jingyuan does not need many soldiers and horses to defend, and the right Shenwei army can divide half of the soldiers and horses, and then separate two horse troops under the control of Yin Jimu, which is enough to conquer Liangzhou.

At that time, Zhang Huai will go from west to east, and Yin Jifeng will go from east to west, which will be enough to calm Hexi. "

Li Ye frowned slightly, thinking in his heart, the imperial court now has 13 infantry armies, totaling 8000 soldiers, 14 cavalry armies, and Yang Shihou's [-] heavy cavalry, totaling [-] men.

Luzhou divided 2000 people, Hanzhong divided 1 people, Yinsui Liangzhou divided 2000 people, and Hexi plans to divide [-] people like Jingxiang.

There are [-] guards at various passes, and [-] guards in Chang'an City.

A total of 12 troops have been mobilized, and the current mobile force is only 4000.

"Your Majesty, a strong army is not made by training, but by fighting. Zhu Wen has a hundred thousand soldiers, all of whom are able to recruit soldiers who are good at fighting, and there are countless strong generals under him. Why?"

Li Ye's thoughts were touched, and he said: "If the combat strength is not successful, and Yin Jifeng has no general talent, what should I do?"

Jing Xiang said: "Half of the right Shenwei army has 500 people, and the cavalry of the two armies has 2000 people. With 500 people, I bet on a strong army and bet on the general who will fight. I secretly think it is feasible."

What Jingxiang said is not true, Li Ye nodded, made a decision, and said: "Just follow Aiqing's words."
