Chapter 197: Their respective plans

"Your Majesty, they are finally gone." Fang Xuanling breathed a deep sigh of relief. Although he is a peerless wise man, he is a scholar after all, not a general who has been tested on the battlefield. The person facing him is not a murderous man, but two

One hundred thousand Turkic soldiers, these 200,000 Turkic soldiers are like wolves and tigers. Their momentum alone is enough to make Fang Xuanling eat a pot. What's more, facing an enemy who will burst out with powerful combat power at any time, it is already quite powerful.

It's hard for him.

"No, they are not leaving, but they are spying on our army." Lu Zhaoci looked at Jieli Khan opposite with a solemn expression. Changsun Wuji and others looked at it, and saw that Jieli Khan had not yet turned around.

Looking at each other, they really were looking at the reality of the Tang army. If there was any change in the Tang army, the other party's two hundred thousand cavalry would quickly kill them back, cross the Wei River, crush everyone into pieces, and then go south to the Central Plains. The two of them couldn't help but be frightened.

His face turned pale and he didn't dare to move anymore. Finally, he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see Jieli Khan's figure on the other side.

"Finally, the fraud was over." Changsun Wuji took a deep breath and said. Everyone nodded, and they actually felt like they had survived a disaster.

"It's not like cheating. Jieli Khan is still looking for favorable terrain to set up camp on the opposite side! He can cross the Wei River at any time and reach Chang'an City directly." Lu Zhaoci said fiercely: "Let's go back to the city.

, let’s see what’s going on with King Liang. I think Jieli withdrew his troops in the end, probably because there was something wrong with his left wing, and King Liang may have won.”

"Yes!" All the ministers also rode away. In an instant, dozens of horsemen disappeared beside the Wei Bridge, and behind him, dozens of banners also disappeared without a trace. It turned out that Lu Zhaoci was

Behind him, there was an army of tens of thousands, but in fact it was just a few hundred people holding dozens of banners. He once again deceived Jieli Khan.

"Greetings, brother." As soon as he arrived at Chang'an City, he saw Lu Zhaoying covered in blood, standing beside him, and Cen Wenwen and others, who were also wearing armor.

"Fourth brother, Mr. Cen, what are you doing?" Lu Zhaoci immediately helped Lu Zhaoying up, but looked at Cen Wenwen and others in surprise.

"Your Majesty can deceive the Jieli Khan. I also gathered the best men in the city and helped King Liang to deceive Shiluo Die. The bluff made Shi Luodie's army shaken. They took the opportunity to be defeated by His Highness King Liang and fled in embarrassment.

"Cen Wenwen and others said with a smile.

"I'm so lucky to have all the ministers to assist me! I, the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty are united, why should I be afraid of Jieli Khan? Even if the opponent has thousands of troops coming, I will not be afraid." Lu Zhaoci laughed.

said.

"Brother, Zuo Yiwei's army suffered many casualties this time." Lu Zhaoying said with a sad look on his face: "Nearly eight thousand people were killed or injured, almost disabled."

"I know that after defeating Jieli Khan this time, I will build a cemetery. Soldiers like this who sacrificed their lives for the country should be sacrificed by the royal family and the government every year." Lu Zhaoci sighed deeply.

.

"Your Majesty is wise." Cen Wenwen and others looked at each other, their eyes lit up, and they raised their hands together and said. These people are all elites, and Lu Zhaoci's move was very cruel. It not only gathered the morale of the army, but also made those people work for Lu Zhaoci.

What is more important is that when the Tang army fights foreign wars in the future, these soldiers will not fight bravely against the enemy. They can be promoted and make a fortune while they are alive. Even if they die, they can also receive generous pensions and be buried in the cemetery.

What a glorious sight it is to be offered sacrifices by the royal family and respected by all generations.

"Is there any news about Li Jing and Xu Shiji?" As soon as Lu Zhaoci entered the palace, Lu Qingyun greeted him.

"Both the generals and the generals of the hussars are coming to Chang'an. Among them, the generals have ordered Yuchi Jingde to lead an army of 20,000 people. They will arrive in Chang'an in about three days. The generals of the hussars will lead an army of 80,000 people.

It takes about three days to reach Chang'an. However, after the Hussars General arrived in Chang'an, he was also exhausted and could not be put into the battlefield at all. The real combat effectiveness may not be formed until the fourth day.

"Lu Qingyun did not dare to neglect, and quickly told the new news...

"Does that mean we have to wait for four more days before we can completely defeat Jieli's army?" Fang Xuanling had a slightly worried look on his face. If this is true, the pressure will be great.

.

"What Mr. Fang said is true. I'm afraid it will be better if we really get through these days." Lu Qingyun nodded.

"What can you do?" Lu Zhaoci glanced at everyone.

"Without him, Tuoer!" Cen Wenwen and others shook their heads. At this time, the clever woman was in trouble. She had no soldiers in her hands, and it was impossible to resist more than 200,000 cavalry. Once the opponent went crazy, use two

It is not impossible for 100,000 cavalrymen who are proficient in cavalry and archery to capture Chang'an City. Now we can only delay it for a while. If we can delay Yuchi Jingde and Xu Shiji to rush to Chang'an City, then we will have He Jieli Khan.

It's enough to fight.

"It seems that this is all. If my guess is correct, Jieli Khan is also waiting for the arrival of Tuli and Qibi Heli's army. After all, he is not at ease with such a force behind him. He wants to

Weaken the strength of Tuli and Qibi Heli. This may buy us some time." Lu Zhaoci analyzed: "If it were me, I wouldn't be able to let Tuli's army hover behind me.

It may pose a threat to our rear army. Now I just don’t know when Tuli and Qibi Heli will arrive. I hope they can arrive later. In this way, I may be able to join them." Everyone also said

They all nodded.

"In the next few days, order people to strengthen the Chang'an city wall to prevent this Jieli dog from jumping over the wall and launching an attack on Chang'an city regardless of the arrival of the Tuli army." Lu Zhaoci ordered again.

"I obey the decree." Cen Wenwen and others did not dare to neglect. All these are speculations belonging to their own side. Whether it can be established depends on God's will. As the saying goes, people can make things happen, and they can only do it on their own side.

Only when you are carefully prepared will you not be afraid of any other tricks the other party may have.

Twenty miles north of the Wei River, Jieli Khan was walking back and forth in his tent with a gloomy look on his face. Opposite him, Yarjin and other Turkic noble generals all had angry looks on their faces, that is, Shi Luodie

There was also a look of shame and anger on his face. He was defeated. Although the defeat had different reasons, he led the elite soldiers of the Ashina tribe. But he was still defeated by the opponent's 20,000 elite soldiers.

hand.

"Have you really met Li Jing?" Jieli Khan stared at Shi Luodie.

"Yes, that person is Li Jing." Shi Luodie said with certainty: "The last general heard someone among the thousands of troops shouting "General". There is only one general in the Tang Dynasty now. That is Li Jing. Otherwise

Who else would claim to be a general?" Poor Shi Luodie is just a warrior who only knows how to use force to conquer everything. How can he be the opponent of a monster like Cen Wenwen? A small trick made him think he had seen

Li Jing is gone.

"It seems that Li Jing is really here." Jieli Khan sighed deeply and said: "No wonder Lu Zhaoci was so bold today and showed no fear in the face of an army of 200,000 people. I'm afraid he would have

We are ready. Once our army launches a charge, Li Jing's army will insert into the battlefield and attack our rear army. With the attack from two sides, our army will not be completely defeated. I am afraid it will also cause heavy casualties."

"Dahan, what should we do now?" Bo Tie asked softly.

"Order Qibi Heli and Tuli to lead a large army to join our army. With the cavalry of my Ashina tribe, even if we capture Chang'an City, we will suffer heavy losses. Tuli and Qibiheli will take advantage in vain.

, How can there be such a good thing in the world? I want them to attack Chang'an." Jieli Khan snorted coldly: "Shiluo Die, you have lost the battle, but I won't kill you. You go and fight with Lu Zhaoci.

Negotiate with him and tell him that I want 500,000 shi of grain, 200,000 bolts of cloth, and 300,000 taels of gold. Ask him to prepare these things, and I will withdraw my troops. Otherwise, I will attack Chang'an City. If he doesn't give it, I will

Just go and get it yourself. See, it’s him who loses more, or we who lose more.”….

"Great Khan, my subordinates thought that Lu Zhaoci would definitely not give it to me," Bo Tie couldn't help but say.

"Of course he won't give it. However, I want to delay for five or six days. After Tuli and Qibi Heli's army arrives, even if he comes to the door, I don't want this thing.

How can it be possible? What I want is the flowers and mountains of the Central Plains." Jieli Khan said disdainfully: "Lu Zhaoci is not sure that he can defeat our Turkic cavalry in the field, so he will definitely try his best to negotiate terms with me. Hum hum.

, I am also willing to talk to them about the conditions and slowly hold them back."

"Great Khan, we have reinforcements, and they also have reinforcements. What if, at this time, their reinforcements arrive more than ours? What should we do?" Bo Tie asked quickly.

"So what if there are more reinforcements? How can they be the opponent of our Ashina cavalry?" General Yarjin said disdainfully: "Great Khan, why wait for Tuli and Qibi Heli? Just give me fifty thousand.

With the army, I can capture Chang'an City for you."

"How many reinforcements do they have? As far as I know, most of the Tang Dynasty's troops are gathered in Hebei and Shandong. How can they get to Chang'an City so quickly? Then Li Jing was able to get to Chang'an City probably because of the cavalry.

There are only ten or twenty thousand cavalry. Although it can change the situation on the local battlefield, it cannot change the situation of the overall war." Jieli Khan snorted: "So, no matter what, as long as Tuli and Qibi Heli's army arrives

, We have at least two days to attack Chang'an. In two days, can't we attack Chang'an City?" When Yaerjin and others heard this, their eyes lit up, and they suddenly showed a hint of madness. Life

Where is the excitement of capturing a country's capital?
