Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Yan Shigu Asks Wang Huitu Li Pharmacist Fights Chilechuan

In front of Li Jing, there is a stubborn barrier that has troubled the Central Plains for a hundred years, and he is no longer the informer who was suppressed by Li Yuan back then.He is Li Shimin's brother Jing, he is the commander-in-chief of the Tang army, and he shoulders the important task of stabilizing the northern border. He cannot live up to the title of God of War that Li Shimin gave him! This battle has carried the dreams of the people of the Central Plains for many years, and no one can understand the heaviness in his heart. Li Jing lived up to everyone's expectations. Under his command, the army has achieved impressive results.Just like the officers and soldiers on the expedition, the civil and military officials in the court are witnessing a strange scene that has never been seen again since the strong man, and a sense of pride arises from the heart!

This is the exciting three years of Zhenguan, and we have ushered in the supreme glory! On November 28th, Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng in the branch, defeated the Turks in Lingzhou; On the second day of the twelfth lunar month, the second Khan Tuli entered the court and took away Jieli's aid; On December 16, the northern Mohe tribe sent envoys to pay tribute; On December 24th, Turkic Yushe led his troops to surrender; On the 11th day of the leap December, Xie Yuanshen, the chief of Dongxie (Xie is a southern tribe), and Xie Qiang, the chief of Nanxie, entered the court; On the twenty-ninth day of the leap December, Xie Nengyu, the chief of Zangke (Guizhou), paid tribute, and the chief of Dangxiang Xifeng Bulai came to surrender;

Subsequently, Dangxiang Feiting, Quili, Pochao, Yeci, Pangdang, Miqin, and Tuoba successively descended.All the land with a radius of three thousand miles of Dangxiang is willing to follow the name of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin, who had been working with his head down, finally showed a joyful smile. He ordered the chiefs of all ministries to be called governors, and tribes to states, still following the tradition.Since then, Datang has accommodated countless ethnic groups and tribes, and they all have their own states and counties. The fourth year of Zhenguan (630) is about to usher in, and the results of the census of the Ministry of Household Affairs came out, which is still good news:

According to the Census Bureau, there were more than 1.2 million males, plus countless old, weak, women, and children. During the Zhenguan period, these populations were by no means a small number. There is evidence to point out that those who came from distant countries had strange costumes and abnormal speech and behavior, which made the Central Plains people unable to calm down. There was a chief who came from far away from Guizhou. His surname was Xie and his name was Yuanshen. He was highly respected and prestige in the local area.This person caught Li Shimin's attention, because his attire, in today's words, is extremely "non-mainstream".According to Xie Yuanshen, their tribe never raises girls.

Li Shimin asked: "Why?" Xie Yuanshen said: "The surname Xie is elegant, and you cannot marry a human being." Li Shimin thought it was very interesting, and smiled straight at Xie Yuanshen.Xie Yuanshen came wearing a bearskin hat, with embellishments on his face, gold and silver thin stickers, shining.They are wearing cowhide shoes, and they are tall, which wraps the calf quite tightly (could they be modern high leather boots?).The colors of his costumes are very gorgeous, giving people a refreshing feeling. People have a natural liking for Caiyi, and so does Yan Shigu (after all, he is very talented and hasn't made any big mistakes, so he was called back recently).

Yan Shigu thought it would be a pity not to draw such a scene, so he asked to draw one.He quoted scriptures when he came up and said: "When King Wu of Zhou was in power, the world was peaceful and distant countries were attached, so the history of Zhou was recorded in writing and named "Wang Hui Pian". I suggest to also draw a "Wang Hui Tu", so that future generations can see the grand occasion at this time!" In the age without cameras, we hold a paintbrush and paint life. "Draw it." Li Shimin said. When evaluating whether a country is strong or not, Li Shimin used a very simple method. He said:

"You just have to look at where the people are willing to go, and that's the most powerful place." isn't it? When Er Khan Tuli entered the court, Li Shimin said to his courtiers: "Back then, the Supreme Emperor (Li Yuan) proclaimed himself a minister to the Turks because he was afraid of the suffering of the people. I was really sad. Now, their Shanyu came to worship. The shame of the emperor can almost be offset!" When the Mohe envoy came, Li Shimin also said: "The reason why Mohe came from a long way is because the Turks have failed. People said that there is no good way to resist the Rongdi. Now I will stabilize China and let the Siyi think that China is the best place to belong, isn't it the best policy?"

Li Shimin has proud capital and admirable abilities. Jieli, did you see it? For this expedition to Jieli, he handed over the command to Li Jing. Think about when Yang Guang attacked Korea, the general had to report to him for any actions.For a person like Li Shimin who gets itchy hands every day without practicing archery, it is really not easy to hand over the military aircraft to others with confidence.When Li Jing led an army of tens of thousands and marched northward with billowing smoke and dust, Xieli was gathering strength and was preparing to use Turkic cavalry to bite him. The time was only a few days later.

In the first month of the fourth year of Zhenguan, Tang Jun marched to Mayi and watched Jieli from afar. On the second day, Li Jing decided that he could attack. He left a large number of troops standing still, and led a group of elites to attack Eyang Ridge.Eiyang Ridge, located just south of the ancient city of Dingxiang today, is a very convenient hiding place.Jieli underestimated Li Jing, and Li Jing overestimated Jieli.In order not to expose the target, Li Jing reduced the number of personnel to the minimum. This elite team only has more than 3,000 people, and they are all Qingqi. According to Li Jing's arrangement, they hid in Eyang Ridge and waited for the sunset.

The sky gradually darkened, and above the wilderness, the moon and stars were sparse. In the middle of the night, three thousand soldiers and horses suddenly launched an attack on Dingxiang.At this time, the Turkic army was sleeping.Jieli was shocked when he heard the news, and said in fear: "The Tang Dynasty did not come here with a downfall, how could Li Jing dare to come here alone?" However, after playing for a while, Jieli suddenly understood that Li Jing didn't dare to do anything to him. After defeating Dingxiang City, Li Jing immediately retreated and hid his soldiers and horses.Jieli was convinced that Li Jing was only testing him, and had no strength to compete with him.

Jieli smiled. After Xieli cleared up the traces of the beating and settled down again, Li Jing unexpectedly sent out troops again, killing Xieli back and catching Xieli by surprise.The Turkic people fainted several times a day, and they repeatedly begged Xieli to find a place to hide.Xie Li agreed, but he was also puzzled, Li Jing is a elusive guy, and he can know exactly what our army is doing, how did he do it? Li Jing will not tell him. Xieli led the army back to Qikou. Qikou, in Luliang, Shanxi Province, is surrounded by mountains and ridges, next to the Yellow River, the situation is unpredictable, and it is also a good place to hide.Xieli was very happy to find such a good place.He settled down for the time being and rested, as expected, Li Jing did not come to trouble him again. It is not Li Jing's true nature not to trouble his opponents. At this time, Li Jing was carrying out a very meaningful activity. In order to cause the Xieli army to cause internal strife, Li Jing specially sent several experts who knew the Turkic language to the Xieli camp.Their main task is to drive apart the relationship between Xieli and his subordinates. For example, if Jieli and the second Khan have fallen out, you will be the next one; and for a narrow-minded person like Xieli, if you give you some money, you will work hard for him. , you die, he collects money, are you stupid or not.At such a juncture, similar words always make the chiefs panic. Li Jing was really an excellent military strategist. Soon, Jieli's confidant Kang Sumi took Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao, the grandson of Emperor Sui Yang, to find Li Jing. He said: "Look, Xie Li is to blame for this. I brought him back to you. I will hang out with Brother Jing from now on." Li Jing said: "From now on, let's hang out with the emperor." Kang Sumi said: "That's right, hang out with the emperor." Kang Sumi's betrayal made Xieli fall into a passive position. What is unpredictable is that Li Jing's order turned out to be to withdraw troops! Jieli knew that this was Li Jing's conspiracy, so he was extra careful, taking one step at a time and watching it three times. Walking into the cloud, he was stunned to find no movement from Tang Jun.So Jieli became angry. He felt that Li Jing was a very poor character, so he even threatened him. He obviously didn't lay an ambush, and obviously he was withdrawing the troops. The most frustrating time for people is that you have been preparing for a long time, but the other party did not come. It's not that I didn't come, it's that the time has not come. When Jieli breathed out his first bad breath, a group of elite Tang troops rushed forward like lightning.Jieli found that the style of play of this Tang army was very different from that of Li Jing who had been taught before. It came rushing towards us, without restraint and forbearance at all, which caught people off guard.Even if he was fully prepared, even if his opponent was not Li Jing, Turkic was still killed and turned into loose sand. After a long time, Jieli found out that his opponent this time was named Li Ji. Among the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Li Ji can be regarded as a first-class big man. Go in different ways, each show their special skills! When Xieli led the army and faced Li Ji's Tonghan Dao army with his butt, Li Shimin was enjoying life.Spring is here, and the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. It is a good time to go to Lishan Hot Spring to take a bath.Li Shimin took a leave of absence from the ministers and rested in Lishan for a few days. Xieli didn't have the mood to sleep, and he didn't have the ability to fight Li Jing and Li Ji, who were not human beings. The Turkic army continued to move their positions northward, passing through Hohhot, and then northward, they chose Yinshan, a place that could be called "home" for the Turkic people. Fighting here can be both invisible and online. When necessary, an automatic reply of elusiveness will definitely make Tang Jun's death very rhythmic. Jie Li smiled honestly, and he comforted everyone, this time he will definitely not be fooled! Jieli settled down nearby, he didn't dare to slack off, adjusted his team, and made preparations for a first-level battle. Just after accepting the review by Comrade Li Ji, the Turkic Army was a little overwhelmed, and they felt tired.However, Xieli had to consider a problem: I galloped here on a Huma. Li Jing wanted to come, but I don't know if he will arrive this afternoon or the morning after tomorrow. Only by grasping the time can the battle be more efficient. I think, in the next second, Xieli should cry, find a place where no one is around and have a good cry. Because according to the scouts, Comrade Li Jing's Tang army has already lined up and is waiting for him in front. ahead? Jieli looked up to the sky, his eyes flashed with desolation like a wolf king.No one knew how Li Jing did it, and no one knew what kind of medicine Li Jing sold in his gourd.There is no need to explain anything, and there is no need to pray for anything. Xieli is on one side and Li Jing is on the other. A big battle is inevitable. Chilechuan, under the yin mountain, The sky is like a dome, Cover the four fields. the sky is gray, wild, When the wind blows the grass, the cattle and sheep are low. This is a folk song of the Northern Dynasties, which talks about the beautiful scenery of Chile River under the Yin Mountain. Hundreds of years ago, the Chile people were still as powerful as Rouran, but a hundred years ago, they were assimilated by the Xianbei people and considered themselves Xianbei people.But no matter what, Chile, or the Tiele people, are now either attached to Jieli, or attached to Western Turks, living in the cracks. In Dalan Hara, on the vast grassland, Xieli regained his senses.After all, the battle was carried out at the door of the house. The Turks, who were born in wrought iron, had sharpened their swords and shone with a light that was colder than ice. The numbers of the two sides in the battle were clearly unequal. After discovering the enemy, the Turks recklessly rushed towards Li Jing's army, relying on the large number of people. But Li Jing stared at Xieli's army in silence. Yes, Xieli would not know that Li Jing's subordinates were all warriors trained by Li Shimin himself. Li Shimin's strategy was successfully demonstrated. The soldiers of the Turkic army became weak because of their long-term care.This point, all comrades who used to exercise regularly, and then suddenly refused to go out for a few months must have a deep understanding.The Turks lost their horses and couldn't run, so they waited for the black armored cavalry to chop them down.But the Turkic people suddenly discovered that all of these Central Plains warriors had incredible super-accurate arrow skills! Why is this, can anyone tell me? The Xuanjia of the Tang Dynasty, like an iron man, rushed forward concentratedly. At the most powerful moment, it suddenly dispersed into several elite forces, and rushed Xieli's hundreds of thousands of troops to pieces. In Jieli's army, those who ran slowly were killed by Tang soldiers with big lances and Mo Dao. In the end, only tens of thousands of people were left to Jieli.It is a pity that among the tens of thousands of people, Xieli's horse is the best, so he led the remnant soldiers and disappeared into the vast wilderness while taking advantage of the chaos. The Turkic soldiers were terrified, and those who survived followed Jieli to Tieshan. There is no specific information about Iron Mountain in historical records, but it is only said that it is located in the north of Yinshan Mountain. Jieli: I feel that I am not successful at all. Li Jing: As a typical failure, you are actually quite successful.
