Why Li Ji sent troops to attack Shuo Fang started with Yang Xiaoming and their departure from Zhao Yunze's team.That night, Yang Xiaoming and the other five sneaked out of the camp where Zhao Yunze and Zhi Wu Sili were temporarily camping, and then went south.In the beginning, the five were just walking.After daybreak, the five discovered a small tribe.The Turkic herdsmen are still relatively industrious, and as soon as the day dawns, many herdsmen get up early and start feeding horses, cattle and sheep.The tribe was small, with only a dozen tents, and no fences were set up outside the tents.But the cattle were fenced.Large haystacks are stacked outside the livestock pen.The herders hold the dried grass and spread it on the ground, and when the grass is spread out in a large area, they release the animals in the pens and let them graze.The herders continued to bring grass out of the haystacks and add it to the livestock.Yang Xiaoming's five people approached the tribe.When the people of the tribe saw that a guest was coming, several people who looked like leaders came forward to greet them."
Morning, may the wolf god bless you."
Yang Xiaoming stroked his chest with one hand and said to the leaders in Turkic.Yang Xiaoming's father was an official of the Ministry of Rites and knew Turkic language.Yang Xiaoming has been interested in Turkic since he was a child, and he knew Turkic before he joined the special combat team.Among the special combat teams, his Turkic dialect is the most authentic.This is also the reason why Zhao Yunze chose Yang Xiaoming to lead the team to carry out this mission."
Where did the guests come from?"
asked one of the tribal leaders."
We are the subordinates of the little Khan of Tuli, and we went to Yinshan to deliver a letter to the Great Khan of Jieli."
Yang Xiaoming replied."
The Great Khan's tent is in the northwest, and you seem to have gone in the wrong direction.And what about your horses," wondered the chief."
Last night, we ran into wolves and ran in the wrong direction.In order to get rid of the wolves, we gave up the horses and left them to the wolves. ”Yang Xiaoming made up a reason and said."
Oh, I see.But you want to buy our horses," the leader asked."
That's exactly what I mean.""
Then let me pick the horses."
The leader led Yang Xiaoming and the others to the herd of horses.There are not many horses in this tribe, only a hundred or so horses, and more livestock are cattle and sheep.Yang Xiaoming's five people each picked a horse.Yang Xiaoming patted the horse's buttocks and praised: "Your horses are really well fed, they are very fat" This is the origin of the word "patting horses"."
The guests praised that the snow disaster in the past two years was too heavy, and in winter, the livestock were also emaciated."
The leader said."
By the way, you feed the horses like this, aren't you afraid that the horses will be stolen" Yang Xiaoming suddenly asked."
Haha, the guest laughed.How can I Turkic people steal people's things, only the people on the Tang Dynasty side, will be petty thieves. ”"Not necessarily, although the people in the desert are simple, there are still petty thieves" Yang Xiaoming smiled playfully, and glanced at the other four special combat team members as he spoke."
Let's go," Yang Xiaoming suddenly shouted.The five men jumped onto the unsaddled horses, clamped their legs between their bellies, and rode out of the tribe.Only the leaders were left looking at each other on the ground.The skills and riding skills of the special combat personnel are really not covered."
They are thieves, chase after them" Yang Xiaoming and the other five people ran out of most of the land before a tribal leader reacted."
Forget it, just a few horses.The right was given to them. ”The big leader said with a smile in his eyes."
How did we Turks come out with such scum," one of the leaders said angrily."
They may not be Turkic, maybe they are Tang."
The big leader said thoughtfully, "I just reacted now, their appearance is slightly different from our Turks" "Damn the Tang people, what kind of etiquette are you still advocating, I'm bhew" With the horse on the dividing line, Yang Xiaoming and the others accelerated their march.In just two days, I came to Shuofang.At this time, the negotiations between Wen Yanbo and Zhao Deyan have just begun, and the first condition has not yet been negotiated.Because Yang Xiaoming and others dressed up as Turks, they can be said to be rampant in Shuofang City.Whether it was the soldiers guarding the city gate or the officials patrolling the streets, they did not interrogate them, but always greeted them with a smile.Alas, being a hypocrite is enough to be aggrieved.Yang Xiaoming went to visit Liang Luoren.After the contact code, Liang Luoren invited Yang Xiaoming into the study for a secret talk."
Lord Zhao asked Shuo Fang to cooperate with Li Ji's soldiers and horses to perform a scene."
Yang Xiaoming said to Liang Luoren straight to the point."
Could it be that Li Ji's soldiers and horses will come to Shuofang," Liang Luoren guessed."
Lord Liang is smart, that's exactly what happened.Lord Zhao's plan was to let Shuo Fang and Li Ji's soldiers and horses pretend to fight an offensive and defensive battle.In order to mobilize Jieli to help. ”Liang Luoren smiled bitterly: "It's not that I'm smart, but Li Ji's soldiers and horses have long been on the border between Chen Bing and Shuofang."
At first, I thought that His Majesty the Emperor was not at ease with me and asked Li Ji to supervise my change of flag.It turned out that Captain Zhao had a different purpose. ”Yang Xiaoming said in his heart: You really guessed right.Li Ji came to Shuofang, killing two birds with one stone, not only to attract Jieli, but also to threaten you Liang Wangye to change his banner.The two discussed some details of cooperation, and Yang Xiaoming and the others left Shuofang, and under the leadership of a cronie sent by Liang Luoren, they went to see Li Ji.After Zhao Yunze and Wen Yanbo's mission left the state, Li Ji began to dispatch troops.Almost on the second day after the Tang delegation left Shuofang, 10,000 horses from Bingzhou set up camp on the Shuofang border.The location of the camp is the place where Zhao Yunze was kidnapped by Wang Hui two years ago, and the state soldiers and horses intercepted Wang Hui.That time, Zhao Yunze said here that Liang Luoren had been surrendered.And two years later, Li Ji mobilized troops and horses in order to cooperate with Zhao Yunze's actions.Li Maogong, a great general, was transferred twice by Zhao Yunze, a junior lieutenant, which is also an anecdote.Yang Xiaoming only took half a day to meet Li Ji.That night, Li Ji pulled out the camp and sent his troops out.After dawn, the Tang army appeared outside the four gates of Shuofang City.The guards of Shuofang City saw the Tang army descending from the sky, and hurriedly went to report to Liang Luoren.Liang Luoren convened the meeting of the lieutenant generals and officers, and secretly ambushed the sword and axe hand in the council hall.Liang Luoren directly explained to the lieutenant general that he was ready to join the Tang Dynasty.Surprisingly, none of those generals spoke out against Liang Luoren's decision.This also shows Liang Luoren's management of Shuofang in the past two years.The entire Shuofang government and opposition have been made into a monolith by him, and the civil and military officials all regard him as Liang Luoren.Seeing that no one objected to him, Liang Luoren told the reason why Li Ji sent troops here, and unified the tone of those generals to deal with Jieli's future questioning.Jieli had not yet arrived, and Shuofang's defenders and Li Ji's soldiers and horses were at peace.Shuofang City is only closed with four gates, and there are only a few more guards on the city wall
