Li Tang and the Western Turkic army came together and set up a camp opposite the Zhao army in Sanyuan County, forming a three-sided encirclement.
Ye Hu, the Turkic Khan Commander, observed the Zhao army camp for a long time and said to Li Shimin: "Emperor Tang, do you think there are any flaws in the Zhao camp?"
Li Shimin said: "Zhao Jun has been fighting for a long time, his soldiers are elite, and his camp is almost invulnerable. Maybe Khan has seen some knowledge?"
Tong Yehu said with a smile: "Emperor Tang, your observation is too superficial. You Han people can't talk about fighting."
After hearing what Tong Yehu Khan said, Li Shimin's generals such as Cheng Yaojin, Changsun Wuji, Hou Junji and other generals showed dissatisfaction.
Tong Yehu looked at the faces of the Tang generals and said with a smile: "We Turks speak uprightly. Your Majesty, don't be offended. This time, Ben Khan led his army into China to unite with you to defeat Zhao. I will rule in the future." Grassland, Emperor Li Tang, you rule the Central Plains, and both sides will be governed in harmony."
After hearing what Tong Yehu said, the general of the Tang Army looked a little better. But they also knew that it was okay to listen to what the Turks had to say, but the Zhao State was indeed the biggest enemy of the two families.
Li Shimin nodded and said: "This is what we discussed at the beginning. Khan, you said Zhao Jun has a flaw, where is it?"
Tong Yehu tapped his chest with his fingers and said: "Emperor Tang, Zhao Jun's flaws are not outside, but inside. Do you understand?"
Seeing Tong Ye Hu's actions, Li Shimin smiled and said, "I understand."
An hour later, the Western Turkic cavalry came out of the camp.
The sturdy Turkic cavalry came out in full force and showed their military appearance in front of the Zhao army camp. In the long-term battle with Persia, the Western Turkic cavalry were well-equipped and battle-hardened soldiers.
This point Li Shimin and the Tang Army general. They all had to admit that this Tong Yehu Khan did have the confidence to be proud in front of them.
On the other hand, Zhao Jun¡¯s camp was not alive at all. There were many trenches and rifles placed in front of them. A wooden double-board wall stood there. Above the board wall, you can faintly see the military poles erected, and in the distance are the tents of the military camp.
A group of Turkic cavalry separated. One man rode forward and came 300 steps in front of the Zhao army. He loudly shouted in Chinese with a Turkic accent: "Generals of Zhao, listen, you have an army of 200,000 in Hexi." They have been annihilated by our Khan, and no one has escaped. So you don¡¯t have to imagine that someone will come to save you."
This person spoke in Chinese. He repeated it again in Turkic language, and the Turkic soldiers behind him all raised their guns and shouted in celebration.
The soldiers of the Tang Army on the side also cheered for the Turks, but there was no movement in the Zhao Army camp. The man nodded with satisfaction. This was what Khan called the strategy of attacking the heart, which was to disintegrate the morale of the Zhao soldiers. So what could shake the morale more than going deep into the enemy's country and becoming a lone army?
At this time, there was also movement in the Zhao camp opposite, behind the wall. One person said in Turkic dialect: "Turkic barbarians, listen, our Majesty said that the Western Route Army is safe and sound. You are talking nonsense and trying to shake the morale of our army. It is really a delusion. You Khan is a subordinate of Zhao State, but you have evil intentions. My Majesty has long wanted to destroy him, but the journey is too far and it is difficult to do it for a while. Now that you have arrived at his door, it saves him the time of running around and asks you Khan to wash his neck and wait for slaughter!"
After hearing this, the Turkic envoy was furious and said: "That's nonsense. You dare to provoke my most noble Khan, the soldiers of Zhao State. Don't mention that stupid emperor who sacrificed his life and caused the soldiers to die in the wilderness. Such an emperor What's the use of following? Our Khan has said that as long as the Emperor of Zhao is presented to him, no matter he is alive or dead, he will be rewarded with tens of thousands of gold and silk, tens of thousands of slaves, and a state will be granted a fiefdom!"
After saying this, the other party couldn't help but feel proud and said: "What are you waiting for with such a reward?" He expected that such a reward would be enough to shake Zhao's military morale.
A long laugh came from the Zhao Jun camp, and the other party replied: "Our Majesty also said that if one of you offers the head of Tong Yehu Khan, we will reward you with a donkey and a piece of cloth!"
After the other party spoke once in Turkic dialect, he spoke again in Chinese. The Zhao army officers and soldiers behind the wall burst into laughter, but the Turkic cavalry in front of them were full of anger.
The Turkic generals on the left and right were furious when they saw the Khan being humiliated, but when it came to the ability to quarrel, these upright Turks were not one ten thousandth as good as the Han people.
Tong Yehu listened but showed no anger at all, but his face changed when he heard the laughter of the Zhao army soldiers. He said to his left and right: "It is true that the warrior who can destroy Jieli is not afraid of Ben Khan's intimidation. Such an opponent is the opponent that Ben Khan wants to fight against."
Hou Junji, the general of the Tang army on the side, looked sarcastic after hearing this. He was about to say a few words rudely, but Li ShiThe people winked and organized Hou Junji to continue speaking.
Li Shimin said politely: "I have already used the strategy of attacking the heart, but the enemy general is good at running the army. It will not be easy for us to defeat them with this. Does Khan have other strategies to defeat the enemy? Otherwise we can only fight with Zhao The military stalemate continues."
Tong Yehu waved his hand and said: "The stalemate is not good for us. The weather in the Central Plains is too hot, and even my cavalry can't stand it. If this continues, half of my horses will die before autumn, so we must Fight, don¡¯t we have more men and horses than they do?¡±
Li Shimin said: "Khan, when I fought in the past, what I was best at was luring others to attack my strong positions, and then defending and counterattacking. But our opponents are so cunning, and they seem to want to use this strategy, don't you? Are you worried? Besides, the Zhao Guo West Route Army actually did not suffer a heavy blow."
Tong Yehu shook his head and said: "Don't worry, aren't their West Route Army being pursued by your and my men? They have no room to turn around."
At this point, Tong Yehu pointed at Zhao Ying and said: "No battle method is ever changing or invincible. Do you know? We dealt with those Persians in the Western Regions, those stupid Persians. They also have The solid city walls and what we thought were solid defenses were slowly destroyed by us in the defense. In the end, all the men were killed, and the women and children became our slaves. The only way we Turks can fight is to attack, and to defend. These are cowardly tactics.¡±
"Look at the reed field on the right side of Zhao Jun. They are getting water through here. Ben Khan guessed that they would have an ambush in the reed bush, but Ben Khan used his plan!"
Li Shimin nodded and said: "Tong Yehu Khan, I will lead my subordinates to fully cooperate with you."
Tong Yehu laughed after hearing this and said: "Okay, let this be the burial place of Zhao Jun!" (To be continued) r655
