Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 2170: Advice from the front!

"Zhao Song, immediately draft an edict: Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu, Yu Shinan, and Liu Zhenghui are the censors for patrolling the north. Early tomorrow morning, the troops will be divided into five groups, each with 500 forbidden troops, to patrol the ten northern states. , check whether the person on the list is a Turkic spy. Once it is verified, there is no need to report it, he will be interrogated and executed on the spot, his family members will be demoted to slaves, and they will be sent to Lingnan!

Baiqisi must cooperate with various supervisory censors throughout the process, secretly guard the left and right, and provide intelligence. Officials from the Ministry of Punishment, Yushitai, and Dali Temple assisted in the investigation and trial. I want you to eliminate all Turkic spies and spies in the northern territory of the Tang Dynasty within one month. Anyone who dares to shield the suspects and obstruct the investigation of the case will be killed without mercy! ”

In the Ganlu Hall, Li Er pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhao Song and said in a deep voice.

It can be seen that Lao Li is really angry this time and will not stop until he kills everyone. It is foreseeable that within the next month, there will definitely be a violent earthquake in the officialdom of northern states and counties, and many people will lose their lives.

In addition, the ministers sent by Li Er are also very particular. They are all clean people in the court. Such people are generally difficult to bribe, and naturally they will not protect those treasonous spies!

"Old slave obeys the order!"

Zhao Song quickly bowed.

"The last general takes command!"

"Old minister accepts the decree!"

Li Junxian and Fang Xuanling also bowed to accept the order.

"Auxiliary machine, once the spies in the northern states and counties are eliminated, there will inevitably be many vacancies in the yamen of the states. The officials should be prepared. Once there are vacancies in the yamen of the northern states, they will immediately send virtuous officials to fill them. The national war is coming, and the north States and counties must not be in chaos!"

At this time, Li Er looked at Changsun Wuji again and ordered.

In the list of names Zhao Deyan confessed, most of them are officials from various states and counties, and many of them hold real power. Once these people are found to have colluded with the Turks, they will definitely die. After they step down, they must New officials must take their place, otherwise the officialdom in the north will be in chaos over time!

"My lord, obey the order!"

Changsun Wuji handed over his hand to accept the order.

“Next, let’s talk about things over there on the grassland…”

Li Er paused, looked at the people in the hall and said.

The atmosphere in the hall was solemn again, and Li Zexuan's heart sank, because judging from the second Yunzhou Eight Hundred Miles urgent letter that Li Er gave him (the first secret letter was about Tu Li's intention to surrender to the Tang Dynasty) News, naturally there is nothing to say), the situation on the grassland is not optimistic, and even exceeded everyone's expectations, including Li Zexuan himself!

Li Zexuan looked serious and couldn't help but recall what he had just read in the second secret letter:

"...Yesterday, ten Tiele tribes conspired to rebel against Jieli and wanted to withdraw the troops who surrounded Tuli's troops. They gathered in the north and south to watch and help each other and jointly resist Jieli.

Yesterday evening, the Tongluo tribe, Pugu tribe, Bayegu tribe, and Guli cadres gathered their subordinates in Yanmo Mountain to join forces with the Xue Yantuo tribe. The Huihe tribe, Sijie tribe, Dubo tribe, and Xijie tribe met at Yanmo Mountain. Tanhanshan and the Qibi tribe's troops converged. Ten troops totaling more than 600,000!

Last night, the Xue Yantuo tribe and the Qibi tribe held a grand welcome banquet for the alliance. Unexpectedly, assassins appeared in the banquet, targeting the leaders of the ten Tiele tribes...

Due to the chaos due to the large number of people, and most of these assassins were close associates of the leaders of various tribes, and they suddenly attacked, the leaders of Tongluo tribe, Pugu tribe, Dubo tribe, and Xijie tribe were assassinated on the spot. The cadre leader was seriously injured, the remaining four leaders were slightly injured, and the ten coalition forces were in chaos...

At that time, Jieli dispatched two armies to take advantage of the chaos to launch an attack. Tiele's ten coalition forces rushed to fight and suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, Duke Dingyuan sent two groups of light cavalry deep into the grassland in advance and burned two tribes that were attached to Jieli. Jieli was afraid and had to withdraw his troops to defend.

Early this morning, Cao Guogong led the army to the border of Yunzhou. According to the plan, Chen Bing practiced at the border day and night. Jieli had some scruples, so he did not gather all his troops to pursue the victory of Tiele's ten troops. However, Tiele's ten troops were seriously injured in the battle last night. Morale, if things go on like this, will definitely be defeated by Jie Li...

Now that the situation in the grassland has changed drastically, I implore Your Majesty to make an early decision! ”

The prophecy of frost in midsummer came true. Tang Jian went deep into the grassland alone to successfully carry out the plan of differentiation. He brought Tuli's troops back to the Tang Dynasty and caused chaos in the grassland. In particular, it indirectly contributed to the formation of a coalition of Tiele's ten tribes to resist Jieli. , this is undoubtedly great news for Datang.

But whether it was Li Er or Li Zexuan, the proposer of the differentiation plan, no one expected that Jieli would be so decisive and directly send assassins to assassinate the leaders of the ten Tiele tribes who were about to rebel!

This not only requires strong courage, but also... foundation!

That’s right, it’s the foundation!

According to the intelligence, many of the assassins at last night's banquet were close associates of the leaders of the Ten Tribes of Tiele. Needless to say, the reason why these people suddenly betrayed them must be the spies that Jieli had planted in the Ten Tribes of Tiele. . If it weren't for this, even if Jieli sent ten times the number of assassins, he might not be able to achieve the same results as last night!

But fortunately, Zhang Gongjin happened to send two light cavalry deep into the grassland to harass the tribes near Jieli's court last night, which made Jieli afraid and had to return to defense. Otherwise, the casualties of Tiele's ten troops last night would have been even greater!

“As soon as the leaders of the Ten Tiele tribes decided to unite to resist Jieli, they were immediately assassinated. It can be seen that Jieli had already been wary of the Ten Tiele tribes and had placed many spies in each tribe in advance!”

Li Jing frowned and took the lead to analyze in a deep voice: "The alliance of the ten Tiele tribes was originally forced by the situation. Now that the leaders of the ten tribes are dead and injured, I am afraid that there will be dissatisfaction among the ten tribes. .~IndoMTL.com~ Jieli’s strength is already stronger than Tiele’s Ten Divisions, so the defeat of the Ten Divisions’ Allied Forces is a foregone conclusion. It’s just a matter of time. The veteran speculates that the Ten Divisions’ Allied Forces may not last more than three months!”

"Three months!"

After hearing this, everyone in the hall, including Li Er, felt their hearts sink.

Li Jing is the military **** of the Tang Dynasty and the Minister of the Ministry of War. Although he has gradually faded out of the court in the past two years, no one dares to really ignore him. What's more, in terms of understanding the strength of the tribes on the grassland, almost no one can match Li Jing. Therefore, Li Jing's "three months" judgment just now cannot be ignored by everyone!

"Three months... Although the imperial court has begun to prepare for war, raising food and fodder, deploying and training troops from various states cannot be completed in a short time. If Jie Lizhen destroyed the ten tribes of Tiele in three months , with the power of such a great victory, the morale will be like a rainbow, the fighting power will be even more terrifying, and the chance of the imperial court’s victory will probably be even smaller!”

Fang Xuanling frowned and said worriedly.

Changsun Wuji's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice: "Although Tiele's ten-unit coalition army had a bad start, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops, and it will not be easy for Jieli to capture them in a short time!

What's more, Hongshen's raid last night also provided us with an idea, that is, in the next few months, the border can send light cavalry deep into the grassland to continue raids, distracting Jieli and not daring to go all out to encircle and suppress the railway. Le Shibu!

In this way, I believe that the ten coalition forces will be able to sustain until the day when the imperial court sends its troops northward! ”

(Zhang Gongjin, courtesy name Hongshen)

Li Jing nodded at this time and said: "What Zhao Guogong said is not unreasonable. Since the imperial court regained Shuofang before, I believe Jieli can also see that the Tang Dynasty will go to war with the Turks. In the next few months, Jieli will Li Ding will calm down the grassland situation as quickly as possible to deal with Datang's attack.
