Chapter 339 Xieli's ambition

One month later, the Liang Dynasty was unified.

Liang Junbing pointed out that the remaining separatist forces either surrendered in anticipation, or were pushed all the way after a short period of stubborn resistance.

And Liang Guo's performance in this battle was also passed down as miraculous because it was full of too many mysteries.

Not to mention Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong who were in the middle of the game at the time, even many people who wanted to review the game afterwards couldn't figure out how all this was done.

Although in hindsight, Liang Guo has a strong military force, high-quality soldiers, and the most adequate logistical support, but Liang Guo has not fought any decent tough battles before, and there are not many famous generals.

Many people subconsciously thought that this was a vain product that had an empty territory but didn't have much fighting power.

But the battle that followed shocked everyone.

First, Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang, and Princess Pingyang in the north were stationed in Jinyang, but they couldn't hold out at first, and then waited for the reinforcements to arrive, and fought Liu Wuzhou head-on in a very simple and rude way.

But Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang sent Yuchi Jingde to lead the main cavalry to surround and outflank.

If it can really take place, then Liang Jun's situation will be very dangerous.

But the most incredible thing is that Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang led the army to fight bravely. They persisted from afternoon to night, repelling the attacks of the Liang army's superior forces several times.

But... until the entire army was wiped out and the two commanders were captured, Yuchi Jingde's cavalry did not appear.

Afterwards, the Liang army surrounded the valley where Yuchi Jingde's army was ambushing. Seeing that the situation was over, the cavalry surrendered without any resistance.

Originally, if he had known about Yuchi Jingde's rebellion earlier, then Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang would have slipped away and would not have been captured alive.

It was because they always thought that Yuchi Jingde's cavalry would join the battlefield in the next moment and turn the tide of the battle, so they insisted on it all the time, and they were captured in the end, looking far away in the direction where Yuchi Jingde might come.

What a miserable word!

As for Liang Jun's battle against Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande's battle to capture the two kings, it is also full of mysteries.

When attacking Luoyang, Luo Shixin rebelled against the water and opened the city gate, causing Liang Jun to swarm in and take it easily.

Wang Shichong was originally ambushing Dou Jiande, but when he learned that Luoyang had fallen, the army was in chaos. Dou Jiande took advantage of the victory to pursue him and was defeated on the spot.

But Dou Jiande was sure of winning, but was hit head-on by Liang Jun who came day and night.

Originally, there was still a fight, but the betrayal of Qin Shubao and Cheng Zhijie turned the situation on the court instantly.

Dou Jiande wanted to lead the elite cavalry to turn the tide of the battle, but was rubbed against the ground by a group of infantrymen holding Mo Dao, and was captured alive on the spot.

There are two incredible things about this series of battles.

The first unbelievable thing is: Why is there a very high-level general as the ghost wherever Liang Jun fights?

Moreover, these inner ghosts are still people who seem to have nothing to do with Liang Guo and are absolutely impossible to rebel.

Liu Wuzhou, Yuchi Jingde under Song Jingang, Luo Shixin under Wang Shichong, Cheng Zhijie and Qin Shubao under Dou Jiande, etc.

Some people even suspect that Wei Zheng, who has been advising Wang Shichong and helping him to overthrow Li Mi and compete for the world, is also the inner ghost that Liang Guo had planted long ago.

Because after this battle, Wei Zheng was immediately entrusted by the State of Liang with an important task to appease the land of Hebei with the pardoned Dou Jiande.

It's so seamless that it's hard to believe that it didn't matter beforehand.

The second unbelievable thing is: How did the people in Liang Guo manage to predict things like gods and walk in the right place every step of the way?

Take the battle of capturing the two kings in one battle as an example. Although it can be seen as a disaster in hindsight, if the fog of war is covered again, you will know that Liang Jun's attack at that time was very risky.

During this period of time, Liang Jun marched from Chang'an to Luoyang, and then rushed northeast from Luoyang non-stop to the battlefield of Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande.

This means that Liang Jun hardly has much chance to rest.

Time is tight, and it is impossible to arrive early; but if it arrives late, Wang Shichong has already been defeated, and Dou Jiande calmly confronts Liang Jun after a big victory, and the result may be unpredictable.

It is true that Liang Jun also placed Qin Shubao and Cheng Zhijie, two high-ranking insiders, in Dou Jiande's army. However, there were no telephones in ancient times, and it was very slow to rely on people to deliver letters on horseback.

What's more, how can those high-level figures in Liang Guo be sure that the two inner ghosts, Qin Shubao and Cheng Zhijie, will cooperate with him 100%?

What if either Qin Shubao or Cheng Zhijie is a double agent?

Once they leaked the plan to Dou Jiande, the situation of this battle might collapse completely.

It's nothing that Liang Guo can instigate a high-ranking general, but he instigated so many high-ranking generals at the same time, and none of them betrayed Liang Guo for the sake of glory and wealth, which is unbelievable.

For such a godlike battle result, the folks soon had many magical legends.

One of them is relatively less magical, saying that the whole incident was planned by Wei Zheng, thinking that Wei Zheng can be called a magician, and he was a secret agent arranged by Liang Guo under Li Mi from the beginning.

Whether it was Li Mi's defeat to Wang Shichong, or Wang Shichong's attack on Dou Jiande, in short, behind all the decisive battles of the major powers in the eastern Central Plains, there is basically Wei Zheng's shadow.

But this kind of statement is somewhat magical, portraying Wei Zheng as a wise and close to a monster, so most people still regard it as a conspiracy theory or unofficial history.

Of course, there are more magical claims.

It is believed that many generals of Liang State were carried down by the stars in the sky, including Liang Gaozu, Prince, King Qi, King Wei, Princess Pingyang, Yuchi Jingde, Wei Zheng, Cheng Zhijie, Qin Shubao and other important figures, all of which correspond to the stars in the sky.

Because these people have the mission of unifying the world and resolving the people's upside down, they can unite as one without suspicion.

This kind of statement is even more magical, even more distorted than the romance story, so it is only spread in the mouths of storytellers.

...

The camera switches back to the perspective of the players.

To their surprise, although they have quickly pacified the world, the ultimate trial is still not over.

Obviously, they also need to completely deal with the Turkic threat.

Since the unification of Liang State was two full years earlier than in history, Jieli Khan had no chance to support Liu Heita and others to disrupt the Central Plains.

Because Jieli Khan succeeded to the throne in the third year of Wude, attacked Yanmen in April of the fourth year of Wude, and supported Liu Heita and others in the fifth year of Wude, and began to lead the army southward after Liu Heita's defeat.

But now, he has just succeeded to the throne, and before he had time to rectify the Turkic interior, the Liang Dynasty has already completed the unification at the speed of light.

Therefore, Jieli Khan had no choice but to advance the plan and go up in person.

I went to Mayi to test a few waves, and led 150,000 cavalry to the south, but what surprised Jieli Khan was that Liang Jun's army was well-organized and heavily guarded, so there was no good opportunity to attack.

Although Liang Jun was unable to hold on to the robbery several times, Jieli Khan did not dare to take too many risks.

So, we had to wait for the best time.

Jieli Khan didn't expect that the timing was so coincidental, as if...a gift from God.

...

In the Khan's big tent, Jieli Khan summoned his cronies to his side.

"What is the origin of this Zhao Deyan, have you found out?"

The confidant hurriedly replied: "Report to Khan, and we have found out. Although this person is an official of the Liang State, he is not reused. Moreover, even the Prince Liang, who has always valued him, has a suspicion of him and has publicly punished him. .

"This time he went to the grassland with Hongluqing Tang Jian, which was exactly what he asked for."

Jieli Khan nodded thoughtfully: "You mean, this person is available?"

The confidant bowed his head: "This matter is entirely up to the Khan to decide."

Jieli Khan nodded slightly: "Understood, you should step back first."

He walked a few steps in the tent and said, "Let Zhao Deyan come in!"

...

Zhao Deyan, a small person whose only name is left in historical materials.

There is no record in the historical materials of what position he occupied before entering Turkic and what his life was like.

But this character is considered to be a key figure in the Liang Dynasty's ability to destroy the Turks.

According to historical records, at the beginning, the Turks had honest customs and simple government orders. But after getting Zhao Deyan, Jieli Khan entrusted him with an important task.

As a result, Zhao Deyan began to monopolize power, changing the old customs and habits of the Turkic people in a large number, and the government orders became cumbersome and strict, which greatly dissatisfied the Turkic people. In addition, Jieli Khan trusted the Hu people and alienated the Turkic people, which led to endless fighting, heavy snowfall, countless livestock died of freezing, and the power of the Turkic people began to decline rapidly.

Judging from the results, it can be said that Zhao Deyan's heart was towards the Liang Dynasty, and he disturbed the Turkic people very well, and the effect was called a million soldiers.

But as to whether Zhao Deyan is the inner ghost arranged by the King of Qin? Or is it just a villain with insufficient ability and greed for power?

There is no record in historical materials, so it is already unclear.

But for the players, there is no need to figure it out. Anyway, as long as he is sent to the Turks, no matter what his original motive is, the final result will be the same.

Judging from common sense, if he is just an ordinary commoner, then the possibility of Jieli Khan reusing him is very slim.

Therefore, Zhao Deyan must be a man of culture, and probably held some official positions in Liang Guo. But the official position is certainly not too high, and it is bound to be excluded.

With such a person, Jieli Khan will really put them in good use.

In fact, Zhao Deyan's strategy cannot be said to be purely to deceive the Turkic people.

Historically, many people from the Central Plains went to the grasslands to advise the grassland tribes, and many of them were reused and gained prosperity and wealth, which also caused the Central Plains dynasty a headache.

Zhao Deyan asked Jieli Khan to reform the government decree and strengthen the centralization of power. From the perspective of God, it is a completely correct strategy.

The later nomads were able to rise quickly, establish political power, and rub the Qi Dynasty on the ground because they gradually found out the most suitable form of political organization and smoothed out the institutional gap with the Central Plains Dynasty.

From the perspective of Jieli Khan, the tribes in the grassland were indeed scattered. He, the Khan, could not completely unify the power of the Turks to do great things, so he must have the idea of ​​strengthening the centralization of power.

If he succeeds, then a northern barbarian may appear on the grassland in advance.

It's a pity that the opponent he met was Liang Chao, and he didn't have such a strong ability and prestige to complete this reform.

But now, the players wanted to reproduce the history and find ways to send Zhao Deyan to the Turks in advance.

Moreover, Zhao Deyan's mission this time is not only to fool Jieli Khan to reform, but also has other important tasks.

...

In Khan's big tent, Jieli Khan and Zhao Deyan had a happy chat.

Zhao Deyan's opening remarks attracted Jieli Khan.

"Khan, does Khan know why Liang State was able to unify in such a short period of time, and its national power is booming?"

Jieli Khan thought for a while: "Is it because King Qi and King Wei are both good at fighting? Or is it because Liang Guo is blessed by God, taking advantage of Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande's losses, and the fisherman gains?"

Zhao Deyan smiled slightly: "Neither of them!

"The strength of Liang State lies in its system.

"Liang Guo, or the emperor of the Central Plains, holds all the power. Therefore, if Liang Guo wants to fight, the soldiers, horses, money and food are all decided by the emperor. If the minister dares to stop him, he will be killed without mercy!

"Thus, Liang Guo was able to concentrate its superior military force and quickly wipe out other forces.

"On the other hand, the Turks, although they also have horses, soldiers, and bows and arrows, these things are all controlled by the eighteen tribes.

"Khan, if you want to go south to attack Liang, you need the support of the leaders of the eighteen tribes, so that you can mobilize an army of 100,000 to go south. But if the battle becomes anxious, Khan may not be able to persuade other tribes to continue fighting. .

"In this way, can Khan lead his army to fight Liang Guo, can he still gain an advantage?

"At this time, the Turks are strong and the Liang State is weak. If Khan summons a large army to go south, he may still have some advantages; What are the odds?"

Jieli Khan couldn't help but nodded: "Mr.'s words are very true! In this case, I hope that Mr. can rectify the tribes and reform the government orders for me!"

So far, development has basically followed the historical script.

But Zhao Deyan smiled slightly, this time he still has new tricks.

"Besides this time, I brought Khan another gift."

Jieli Khan's eyes lit up: "Oh? Please tell me, sir!"

He was also very curious about what kind of gift Zhao Deyan could say at the end.

Must be very important.

Zhao Deyan lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "At this moment in Chang'an City, the conflict between the crown prince and King Qi is becoming more and more intensified, and I'm afraid there will be conflicts breaking out in the near future.

"At present, although the prince has the support of the emperor and is more powerful, King Qi and King Wei have made great achievements in the process of conquering the world, and the conflict between the two sides has become more and more acute.

"From my point of view, I'm afraid it won't be long before the two sides will break out into conflict and fight to the death.

"And under such an excellent situation, if the Khan can rectify the internal affairs first, gather strength, and wait for the coup d'etat to happen, he will lead the army southward and head straight for Chang'an!

"At that time, wouldn't it be wonderful for the Khan to occupy the Central Plains and rule the world?"

Jieli Khan couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "Is there such a thing?"

Zhao Deyan nodded: "Of course! If Khan doesn't believe it, he can send people to Chang'an City to find out the news.

"Everyone knows the conflict between the crown prince and King Qi and King Wei!"
