    Gu Duolu did not surround Shuozhou City with all his troops. Mo Chuo led a group of troops and stationed them at the source of the Sangqian River. Yuanzhen led a part of his troops and stationed them on the north side of Yanmen Pass.  There were also two other groups of troops, one east and one west, to prevent the arrival of reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty.

    But most of the troops were used to besiege Shuozhou.

    Kong Zhengfang also saw the mobilization of large armies in Qinghai, but the number could be tens of thousands at most.  Suddenly I saw hundreds of thousands of troops. The military camps stretched for dozens of miles as far as the eye could see. Thousands of cattle and sheep were slaughtered every day, not including the food they ate.

    He was a little confused. He didn¡¯t know if Shuozhou City could defend the top.

    Guduulu didn't know what he was thinking and had no time to pay attention to him. He rode his horse to the foot of Shuozhou City and shouted to the top of the city: "I am Ashina Guduulu. Please meet with your commander-in-chief."

    Ashina Daozhen walked up to the city and said: "Guduulu, surrender quickly. After decades of rest and recuperation, the Turks finally have so many good men. Don't let them waste it for you."  ." "Daozhen, you are wrong. We Turks herd green grass in summer and live in the south of the mountains in winter. Ice and snow are fine wine, and wind and frost are sweet springs. Wolves are our ancestors, and eagles are our friends. There is no nobler race in the world than us.  The Turks only declined temporarily and were defeated by the Tang people. But the moon has its yin and yang, and people have their joys and sorrows. It is only a temporary subjugation to others. Are we Turks willing to be the eagles of others for the rest of our lives? "

    This kid actually quoted the words and phrases from the song "Water Dragon U-Turn" that Li Wei plagiarized.

    But Turks have very strong self-esteem.

    For a long time, the people of the Central Plains have been bowing to them. When Li Tang started his business, he also humbly bowed his head and bowed to them.  So I have a strong sense of self-esteem in my heart.  After several major defeats, this nation should have perished.  However, the policies of the Tang Dynasty gave them another chance to rise.  Under the policy of peace, Hu Feng flourished in the Tang Dynasty, including Li Chengqian who actually arranged the East Palace into a Turkic tent.

    Therefore, the self-esteem of the Turks has never ceased.

    Precisely because of this and their self-esteem, Fengzong and Wenbo raised their banner and immediately gathered 400,000 troops.  After the defeat, Wen Bo and Fu Nian reunited and still gathered hundreds of thousands of troops.  Then he went to Gu Du Lu and sent out more than 100,000 troops at every turn.

    Li Wei also considered the Turkic people's mentality and mentality. From the standpoint of the Turkic nation, this mentality is worth encouraging. However, the rise of the Turks only hurts the people of the Central Plains.  Unlike Dashi, if the Tibetan strategy did not endanger the rule of the Western Regions, Dashi would be almost harmless no matter how it expanded.

    It¡¯s time to completely eliminate the Eastern Turks!

    The person standing on the top of the city was a Han general, and Gu Duulu's words had no effect.  However, Daozhen was standing there, and most of the soldiers were Turkic soldiers. Daozhen didn't know how to answer.

    Ashina Gudulu turned around and said loudly: "Good Turks, are you willing to be other people's hawks and dogs for the rest of your life?"

    ¡°No!¡± tens of thousands of people responded in unison.

    The sound is in the sky.

    The conversation between Gu Duolu and Daozhen was in Turkic language. Kong Zhengfang was not far away. One of them was on the top of the city and the other was under the city wall. They had to answer loudly. Kong Zhengfang could hear it but couldn't understand it.  .  However, this unwilling Turkic language can still be understood.

    The shouts of tens of thousands of people made Kong Zhengfang¡¯s expression change.

    After talking to a centurion in a low voice, he finally understood the answer between the two.  I thought in my heart that this nation is hopeless.

    No matter how good the Tang Dynasty was to them, if they only wanted to restore the former glory of the Turks, could they still be loyal to the Tang Dynasty?

    Guduulu added: "General Daozhen, you are the descendant of Chuluo Khan, and you have the most noble blood of the Turks. Can you bear to let the bows and arrows on the city head be used on the Turks?"

    "In that case, retreat quickly."

    "That's not the case. I'm here this time to welcome General Daozhen back to preside over the plan for the restoration of the Turks. I'm here to greet Daozhen Khan." After Guduulu finished speaking, he immediately fell to the ground.  Then, the Turkic soldiers fell down one after another like waves.

    Daozhen was so angry that he fainted, and his lips were trembling as he stood on the top of the city.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    "You dare to do it." However, Kong Zhengfang was very puzzled.

    At this moment, most of the Turkic soldiers were defending the city, and their morale was low. What could they do to resist Gudulu's siege?  Could it be that His Majesty made a mistake?

    Daozhen in the city is even more embarrassed.  Even if the city is barely defended, if what happened today reaches the ears of the very suspicious Queen Mother, she will not reap the rewards.  Discuss with Ashina ZheAfter discussing for a long time, no solution was found.

    The next day, the door of the mansion opened, and another letter appeared, this time it was written a little too much.

    ??????????????????????????????????? Governor Daozhen. Yesterday, Gu Duo recorded a request for the Governor to worship him as the Turkic Khan, in order to use the Governor¡¯s flag to attract the people of all ethnic groups loyal to the Tang Dynasty.  As a governor, the governor has a distinguished status. Once he enters Mobei, his soldiers will be strong soldiers, and his generals will be strong generals.  Who listens to your orders?  The eye map will be your place, and the dove medicine will be your wine.  It is necessary to guard against it.  Gu Duo misinterpreted the true meaning. The Turks relied on the Tang Dynasty. They sold leather and fur horns from the Tang Dynasty in good years, and received grain and silk from the Tang Dynasty in bad years. In just a few decades, the scale was far greater than at the beginning.  The people live and work in peace and contentment, and all ethnic groups are peaceful and friendly.  For a few days, young people, seeking their own position, deceived people's hearts, and military revolution was established in the north and south of Yinshan Mountain.  After two major defeats, corpses lay across the desert and Gobi grasslands, and vultures pecked the corpses outside the wilderness.  Dark clouds are pressing down on the top, and the bloody wind is covering the sand.  Wives and children were scattered, and mourning spread across the land.

    If you can achieve great things, then there is nothing wrong with it.  The governor looked to the west for a few more years. The wisdom of Qinling and Tubo were also at their peak. However, they were defeated in the east by Qinghai and in the west by the Western Regions.  Losing troops and generals will cause the country to be in turmoil.  Dashi was tyrannical in the west and was invincible. He only sent tens of thousands of troops and expanded his territory thousands of miles. Dashi was helpless and the country was divided.  The Tang army in the west has not yet moved. If the emperor comes back to life, the Turks will die overnight. Even if the emperor is in danger, the generals will be in embarrassment for a long time. If the empress dowager takes care of him, he will definitely return in the future, and it will also be used by the Tang Dynasty.  If the elite soldiers and generals are gathered in the big rivers, and the wisdom and wisdom of the warriors are gathered in Daibei, the Turks will also perish.

    The governor must not act without thinking twice. The survival of the Turks depends on your thoughts.

    Ashina Daozhen opened it and took a look, Master.  What he said touched the depths of his heart, and he couldn't be deceived by listening to his bones. This boy was uneasy and only wanted to sweat profusely. He didn't think about the life and death of the Turkic people at all.  Are the Turks really the opponents of the Tang army?

    It¡¯s just that the Tang Dynasty has been busy with many things in recent years and has no energy to take care of the north.  Once settled, the Turkic rebels will die without a burial place.

    He called Ashina Zhe and all the generals over. Some of them did not know Chinese characters, so Daozhen read them briefly.

    Ashina Zhe couldn't help but asked curiously: "Who is this?"

    "No matter who it is, he has good intentions towards us anyway. Did you hear that? We are not only fighting for the Tang Dynasty, but also for our Turks. It is precisely because of our performance that the Tang Dynasty will not treat us badly afterwards.  The entire Turks will be punished. Otherwise Rouran, the Xiongnu, and Gaoche will serve as a lesson to our Turks."

    "Yes", everyone nodded involuntarily.

    ??Gudulu has done very well in the north, but it cannot be compared with Lunqinling and Tubo. Besides, they still have the extremity plateau to retreat to.  Once the Turks are defeated, wherever they can retreat, don't forget that the Tang Dynasty army also fought as far as Xiaohai.  There is no way to kill that far away. There are still Huichun people in the north watching.  Moreover, I was accustomed to the life in the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty, wearing gorgeous silks, eating exquisite food, living in luxurious houses, and being able to herd, farm, and do business.  Why go to the bitter prairie to suffer?

    "I'd like to trouble you all, please bring these words to every soldier to encourage them to have courage. Reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty will arrive soon."

    "Here." They filed out one by one.

    But Ashina Daozhen sat in the big tent and thought deeply, who is this person?  This vision alone is far superior to his own.

    Gu Duolu shouted outside the city again.

    Daozhen felt confident and calmly came to the top of the city.

    Gu Duolu asked: "General Daozhen, have you thought about it? I have hundreds of thousands of good men behind me, and I am just waiting for your answer."

    Daozhen said with a smile: "Gu Duulu, I only ask one question. Once you fail, how many of the hundreds of thousands of good men behind you will survive? It's not me who is intimidating, but there is Wen Bo Fu Nian in front of you.  There are lessons from Goryeo, the Ten Surnames of Western Turks, Yanmian, and Tubo Food. The generals and armies of the Tang Dynasty in the western region of Qinghai exist intact. Ask yourself whether you are the opponent of these tiger generals? Even if you succeed,  Once your ambition is satisfied, how many of the hundreds of thousands of good men will be left behind you?"

    After asking, he said loudly: "Turkish men, listen up, I am Daozhen, the son of Chuluo Khan's Choisheer. Your bones are confusing you, saying that you have become the eagle dog of the Tang Dynasty. I ask you these years,  We have sent out some soldiers to fight for the Tang Dynasty. However, in the Battle of Goryeo and the Battle of Qinghai, in these large-scale battles, it was the Tang Dynasty that had more soldiers, or our Turkic soldiers. Only a small number of soldiers were sent out, and occasionally they fought for the Tang Dynasty.  Two times, how much tax did the Tang Dynasty levy on our Turks? How many fine silks did the Tang Dynasty send to the people of all ethnic groups? How much food did it send to rescue people in times of difficulty? Think about it again, fifty years  How many people did our Turks have before, and how many people do we have in Turks today? Are you willing to bury Gulu Duo in such a good day just to satisfy his ambition?""Attack the city!" Gu Duolu became furious and ordered the attack before he could finish his words.

    But the siege at this time was different from yesterday.

    "If we had attacked the city yesterday, the morale of the Turkic soldiers on the city would have been shaken, and the Han soldiers would have been suspicious. Maybe they could have captured Shuozhou City in one day."  But today, the generals have conveyed the words in the letter, and coupled with Hua Cai Daozhen's preaching, the morale has been stabilized and the suspicion of the Han soldiers has been reduced.  Well, it became very difficult to capture Shuozhou City.

    Watching the fierce battle between the two sides, Kong Zhengfang was very stunned after listening to the translation by the centurion beside him.

    He doesn¡¯t even think that Daozhen came up with these words by himself. If he could have thought of it, he would have said it yesterday.

    Is there someone in the city who can help?

    But he had to face one thing immediately. By this time, His Majesty's request had been met and he was leaving here.

    The current situation must also be left. If "his" strategy fails, Gu Duulu will definitely become angry, and he may be in danger.  Not afraid of death, but that doesn't mean you want to die.

    But His Majesty ordered one more thing. At this time, he can leave, but when leaving, the Turks must not be suspicious. At least, the Turks must not be suspicious of him until reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty arrive at Yanmen Pass.

    This is the most difficult thing.

    Not to mention not making the Turks suspicious, even if you want to leave now, it is extremely difficult.  Take a look, you can see that there are Turkic troops in front and behind, and there are many scouts on horseback running in the open space to gather information.  Seeing the offensive and defensive battle between the two sides becoming increasingly fierce, Kong Zhengfang fell into distress.
