Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 2166: A bigger plot!
, update the engineering otaku in Datang as soon as possible! "...Su Mou is fortunate enough not to be disgraced! The ten teams of Xiao Khan's subordinates, 90,000 troops, have all fled the grasslands and are now stationed outside the county!"
At four quarters of the 19th hour, in Yunzhong County, Yunzhou Camp, Su Dingfang, Ni Sutuo, and others rushed into the Yuanmen on horseback, and went straight to the central army tent. Several people in the tent heard the movement and quickly walked out. The leader was Tully. Seeing Tuli, Su Dingfang quickly stepped forward and clasped his fists.
"!! I have seen Duke Ju! I have seen Duke Dingyuan!!"
At this time, Su Ding saw two more people coming out from behind Tuli. One was Tang Jian, whom he had seen in the frontier camp before, and the other was a majestic and handsome middle-aged general. It was just half a step behind Tuli, and the sky was dark and the light was not good, so Su Dingfang didn't notice it at first.
Dingyuan County Duke, that is Zhang Gongjin, one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Gongjin was originally Wang Shichong's subordinate Wei Prefecture Chief History, and together with the prefect Cui Shu, he came down to the Tang Dynasty, and served as Zouzhou Biejia and Youwu Marquis Chang Shi . Later, under the recommendation of Xu Shiji and others, he became a staff member of the Qin palace, and assisted Li Shimin in launching the Xuanwu Gate Revolution, serving as the governor of Daizhou and the Duke of Dingyuan.
Although Zhang Gongjin has not participated in as many wars as Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, etc. in his life, he did a very famous thing, which directly promoted the change of Xuanwumen. This thing is—" Vote for the turtle and agree to help the prince!"
In June of the ninth year of Wude, on the eve of the change of Xuanwumen, Li Shimin asked the wizard to burn the tortoise shell to make a hexagram. At this time, a general walked in from outside, picked up the tortoise shell and threw it on the ground, saying:
"Any divination person will decide to suspect and hesitate. Now that there is no doubt, why do divination? The bad luck of divination is inevitable. It’s very clear, what else is being used for divination. If the result of the divination is unlucky, should it be stopped (coup)).”
This general is Zhang Gongjin!
It is precisely because of Zhang Gongjin's decisiveness that Li Shimin strengthened his determination to initiate the Xuanwu Gate uprising. Therefore, some later generations said, "Without Zhang Gongjin and Yuchi Jingde, Taizong cannot kill his brother."
The change of Xuanwu Gate, when Prince Li Jiancheng and Qi King Li Yuanji were killed, their subordinates Feng Li, Xue Wanche, Xie Shufang and others led 2,000 elite soldiers and horses to quickly rushed to Xuanwu Gate, ready to avenge their masters. Zhang Gongjin was extremely brave and closed the door alone, blocking Feng Li and others from the door, and Feng Li and others eventually broke up.
Zhang Gongjin was also promoted to General Zuowu Hou at the age of 33 because of his contribution to the change of Xuanwu Gate, and was awarded the title of Duke Dingyuan County. Such a promotion speed is relatively rare in the Zhenguan Dynasty!
In the first year of Zhenguan, Zhang Gongjin served as the governor of Daizhou and controlled the troops and horses of Daizhou.
Under the influence of Li Zexuan, in April of this year, Li Er ordered Chai Shao and Yuchi Jingde to lead the army to destroy Liang Shidu. During this period, in order to prevent the Tang army from attacking the city, Jie Li sent his wolves to the south, brazenly invaded the border of the Tang Dynasty, and rushed to help Liang Shidu. Fortunately, Tang Jun had already expected this. Chai Shao set up an ambush on the way to Shuofang City on the wolf ride, and happened to encounter the celestial dog eating the sun and the sky. Taking advantage of the terrain and first-mover advantage, he defeated the Turkic wolf ride!
In addition, in July, the Turkic national teacher secretly infiltrated the Yanhuang Academy, stealing the academy's confidential information, breaking through all the way, and the 50,000 wolves he led were reunited at the Longmen Pass, and a fierce battle broke out with the Tang army outside the Longmen Pass!
In a few months, the Turkic wolf cavalry invaded the territory of the Tang Dynasty twice, which made Li Er realize that the national war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks would come soon. Not only did he make emergency preparations for the war in the DPRK, Li Er Many military officer positions have also been transferred and arranged in the border states, including the establishment of the Yunzhou Governor's Office!
(Historically, Li Er set up the four prefectures of Shun, You, Hua and Chang, as well as the Dingxiang and Yunzhou prefectures in the third month of the fourth year of Zhenguan, after the Tang army destroyed the Eastern Turks. Before that, Yunzhou had neither the Governor's Mansion nor the Governor, but only 30,000 frontier troops. The course of history was once again deviated because of Li Zexuan)
Because Yunzhou is located at the border, only one county of Yunzhong County is under its jurisdiction, and it is adjacent to Daizhou, so Zhang Gongjin was "promoted" because of this. Governor of the state, control the troops and horses of the two states, and take charge of the government affairs of the two states!
At this time, Yunzhou's strategic position in the Tang Dynasty is almost equivalent to a "military buffer zone", because it is located at the border and directly borders the grassland. If there is a conflict between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, Yunzhou will be caught in the first place. Due to the war, the land of Yunzhou is sparsely populated. After the past few years, the Turks have often plundered southwards. Most of those who can move southwards have moved southward to Daizhou, Shuozhou, and Bingzhou.
Using Yunzhou as a "military buffer zone" and setting up frontier camps here, if the Turks go south to plunder, the Tang army can keep the enemy out of the country, and Daizhou can serve as the logistical support for Yunzhou. A steady stream of supplies and troops are provided to the frontline!
Li Er asked Zhang Gongjin to take charge of the military and government affairs of the two prefectures, so that he could command the strength and resources of the two prefectures and guard the country for the Tang Dynasty!
In the evening, after receiving the news from Su Dingfang's subordinates, Zhang Gongjin from the Daizhou Governor's Mansion hurriedly rushed to the Yunzhou Camp, where he met Tuli, and sent reinforcements to chase Su Dingfang and assist Su Dingfang from the grassland. To help the remnants of Tuli to withdraw from the steppe.
"Haha! General Su needn't be too polite!"
They are all of the same age (Su Dingfang is two years older than Zhang Gongjin), and they are both military generals of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, Zhang Gongjin and Li Jing have a good personal relationship. Naturally, he has no ill feelings towards Su Dingfang, so he stepped forward and photographed Su Dingfang Shoulder, Road:
"Dingfang, all the 90,000 troops of the little khan have withdrawn from the grassland?"
Su Dingfang nodded and said, "Yes! All the 90,000 troops of the little khan have been evacuated into Yunzhou and are now stationed outside the city. Moreover, on the grasslands, we did not encounter chasers sent by Jie Li. Soldiers!"
Tuli, who was standing on the side, said happily at this time: "Okay! That's great! Shibabi replaced the help of many generals Xie Su under his command!"
These 90,000 troops are regarded as Tuli's "political capital", not because he intends to make a comeback, but now that he has made up his mind to join the Tang Dynasty, the more troops he has in his hands, the more people he will be able to get from the Tang court. The more benefits he got, the 90,000 troops plus the 10,000 light cavalry that evacuated the grassland with him, he brought a total of 100,000 people to the Tang Dynasty. After joining the Tang court, he must have failed to get the title of a prince. Yes, and Li Er may still assign these 100,000 people to his official system by then. Therefore, Su Dingfang can be regarded as a big favor for Tuli!
"You're welcome, little Khan!"
Su Dingfang waved his hand. In fact, he didn't do anything for the rescue in the grassland this time. The process in the middle was a bit unexpected. He originally thought that he would encounter Jie Li's army on the grassland, but he didn't! The 90,000 remnants of Tuli were able to withdraw from the grasslands without any hindrance!
"Dingfang has worked hard all the way! Let's talk more after we get the account!"
Zhang Gongjin was not overjoyed like Tuli. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that something was wrong, so he looked at the crowd and said.
Several people agreed.
After a while, everyone returned to the central army tent. Zhang Gongjin was sitting in the first seat in the middle. Su Dingfang, Tang Jian, Tuli, and Ni Sutuo were on the left and right. Zhang Gongjin asked, "Dingfang, you just said, During your retreat from the grasslands, you didn't encounter a Jie Li army, but the truth?"
Su Dingfang clasped his fists and said, "It is absolutely true! Not only has the team led by the last general never encountered Jieli's army, neither have the other nine teams, so the 90,000 troops of the little khan have nothing to do with them. One person was injured during the retreat!"
The happy face Tuli also came back to his senses at this time, he frowned and said, "This doesn't seem normal! Duo Bi hates someone to the bone, or else he wouldn't have inspired the 300,000 army of the Tie Le clan. He surrounded Ben Khan. In the afternoon, Ben Khan led his subordinates to withdraw from the grassland. Duo Bi must have received the news. With his character, he would definitely send wolf horses to chase them down! The old, weak and wounded soldiers, they will definitely be able to catch up!"
Zhang Gongjin nodded and said: "What Zhang said was what Zhang wanted to say! Jie Li was a brutal man. Xiao Khan led his followers to evacuate the grasslands. In his eyes, it was tantamount to defecting to the Turks. You will be chasing all the way! You didn't encounter a single pursuer on the way to retreat, which means..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Gongjin paused for a while, a little unsure.
"This shows that Jie Li must have a bigger plan, and it's just tonight! So he doesn't have the energy to send troops to pursue the little khan's army!"
Tang Jian twitched his beard, and a flash of light flashed in his mind.
"A bigger plot~?"
A strange look flashed in Zhang Gongjin's eyes, and the rest of the people in the tent also looked thoughtful.
Tuli thought for a while, then analyzed: "Now the ten troops of Tiele have decided to unite against Duo Bi, and the ten troops and horses retreated one after another in the afternoon, so Ben Khan's troops were able to break free from the encirclement and withdraw from the grassland. If Bi has a bigger plan, Ben Khan guesses that it is only possible that he wants to suppress the rebellion of Tiele Shibu!"
Su Ding said with some doubts: "Tie Le Ten just finished this afternoon Next page! Current page 1/total 2 pages
Revolting against Jie Li's actions, how could Jie Li send troops to suppress it at night? Although the strength of Tie Le's ten troops is not as good as that of Jie Li, they still have millions of troops together. If Jie Li wants to suppress it, if he doesn't make preparations and make a move, he will suffer heavy losses. I can't believe Jie Li would be so reckless! "
Tang Jian said categorically: "According to common sense, it is really unwise for Jie Li to send troops to suppress Tie Le's ten troops tonight! But Jie Li knew that the little khan led his troops to withdraw from the grasslands, but did not withdraw to intercept them. It means that he has no extra energy and does not want to divide his troops at the moment! The ten units of Tiele together have millions of units, and it is really difficult to suppress them with ordinary methods, but what if Jie Li uses unusual methods? We must not underestimate Jie Li. The strength of profit!”
Emperor Zhang thought for a moment, and said, "Empress Ju is right! We can't underestimate Jie Li, we must be vigilant about this! Since Jie Li has no time to take care of him tonight, Ben will take the opportunity to send a group of scouts deep into the grasslands to inquire about the news. , I want to see what Jie Li does tonight!"
Su Dingfang thought about it, but did not object to Zhang Gongjin's decision. Because Jie Li did not send troops to pursue the remnants of Tuli, it shows that Jie Li is indeed focusing all his energy on other things. Tonight, 80% of the defenses on the periphery of the grassland are empty, just for the scouts to sneak in.
Seeing that there was no objection, Zhang Gongjin paused and said:
"In addition, I would have received news that in order to make Jie Li fearful and not dare to pursue and attack the troops of the little khan, His Majesty ordered Cao Guogong to lead two thousand elite light cavalry troops to the border of Yunzhou, and from Yunzhou. 50,000 soldiers were dispatched from the four prefectures of Zhou, Shuozhou, Daizhou, and Youzhou, and Chen soldiers practiced day and night in the north of Yunzhou, forming a deterrent to Jie Li!
At the time of His Majesty's decree, it was not known that the ten tribes of Tiele had decided to resist Jieli, and he did not know that Little Khan had led his troops out of the grasslands, but in order to prevent Jieli from suppressing the rebellion of the various tribes on the grasslands, In order to buy as much time as possible for the imperial court to conquer the Turks in the north, it is still necessary for Chen Bing to form a deterrent against Jie Li at the border of Yunzhou!
According to the report from the scouts, Duke Cao's army is expected to arrive in Yunzhou before dawn tomorrow! The situation on the grasslands has changed abruptly today. Before Cao Guogong comes, we must grasp the situation on the grasslands as thoroughly as possible, so that we can make plans later! Tonight, I have to trouble the little khan to send a few people to assist our army and sneak into the grasslands! "
In the early morning of this day~IndoMTL.com~ Li Er informed the ministers about the frost in the middle of the summer in the grasslands yesterday, the panic in the Turkic people, and the fact that the tribes are likely to rebel against Jieli in the near future. The ministers were excited, and then Li Er ordered Li Ji to rate The soldiers went to Yunzhou, transferred the troops and horses of Yunzhou, Shuozhou, Daizhou, and Youzhou, Chen Bing frontier, drilled day and night, to deter Jie Li, and let Jie Li allocate part of his energy to guard against the Tang army, so that he would not use all the troops. Used to encircle and suppress Tuli and rebellion!
This is Li Zexuan's long-standing plan to divide the Turks, and Tang Jian has completed the most critical part of the plan!
"Don't worry, Duke Dingyuan, the soldiers under Ben Khan are very familiar with the grassland environment, and they will definitely be able to assist your subordinates to sneak into the grassland smoothly!"
Tully responded quickly.
The more he cooperates with Zhang Gongjin now, the more likely he is to make meritorious deeds, and the more rewarding the imperial court will be, right?
This guy now regards himself as a Tang Dynasty person, and is always thinking of meritorious service!
"Okay! Then there's Lao Xiao Khan!"
Zhang Gongjin smiled, and then said: "Today, the little Khan led the team all the way. I must be exhausted. I would have sent the little Khan back to the camp to rest!"
Tully has no problem. He escaped for a day today, and now he has finally "found an organization". Once he relaxes, he is really sleepy. I was tired, so I didn't insist. After saying goodbye to everyone, I left the Chinese army tent!
"Dingfang, Duke Ju, if Jie Li really intends to lead an army to suppress the ten Tiele troops tonight, and I intend to send a few light cavalry into the grasslands to harass them, what do you two think~?"
After Tu Li and Ni Shituo left, only Zhang Gongjin, Su Dingfang and Tang Jian were left in the tent.
