The Khitan soldiers and horses gradually converged together, began to march eastward, at noon the brigade stopped in a mess, after lunch, was about to continue on the road, Sun Wanrong suddenly passed a general order, so only more than 10,000 soldiers who were slightly wounded in the previous battles were able to stay, and the other soldiers and horses all left the brigade.
Yang Fan sat on the car, only to see countless cavalry rolling south, thousands of horses galloping by, rolling up smoke and dust like a dark cloud, filling the sky.
Yang Fan was slightly surprised, and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"
Fei Mo smiled "hehe", and his face showed a cunning that was quite incompatible with his rugged and simple appearance: "The generalissimo led his troops south and attacked Jizhou." ” "What" Yang Fan's heart jumped: "Aren't you going back to the mountains?"
Fei Mo said lazily: "The Khan suffered from heat stroke, and then his body was a little uncomfortable, this time he led us and escorted the grain and grass back to the mountain first."
As for the generalissimo, in the huge Zhuolu City, there are not a few spies of the imperial court, and the Khan deliberately released the news of returning to the mountain, so as to confuse the officers and soldiers. ” Yang Fan was dumbfounded for a long time, and said: "With the main force going south, only sending a small force to escort the Khan back to the mountain, and escorting so many baggage, aren't you afraid that the imperial army will come to intercept it?"
Fei Mo laughed loudly: "Haha, if they really chase after us, we will abandon the grain and grass and leave, go back and build a city again, and raid their homes."
However, do you really think that Wu Youyi will send troops if he has the guts, we have been staying in Zhuolu for a few days, he would have come a long time ago, hahaha" Although it was Wu Youyi who led the troops, as a member of the imperial court, Yang Fan couldn't help but lose his face when he heard Fei Mo's presumptuous and contemptuous smile.
Tens of thousands of Khitan iron horsemen, belonging to different tribes, shouted "Go south."
They immediately left the team, looking chaotic and disorganized, but the Khitan cavalry did not need to be integrated through queues and drums like the Han cavalry, through the ability to hunt since childhood, they were almost like an instinct, so in the chaotic march, naturally according to the banner of each department, re-formation, queue, and then formed a very effective marching column.
In the evening, they stopped by a small river.
Sun Wanrong rode a tall horse, stood at the front of the queue, quietly watching his army.
Thousands of troops and horses slowly quieted down in front of him, like a standing mountain, and a heavy and majestic atmosphere rushed towards him.
Sun Wanrong nodded with satisfaction, and shouted loudly: "I pretend to go back to the mountain to bully the Tang army, the Tang people will have no precautions against the soldiers of the whole army today, only carry two days of rations, day and night, and go straight to Jizhou, even if the Tang people have reconnaissance horses, we must let them chase after us, and watch our wolf battle flag planted in the head of Jizhou City" His hand slowly reached out to his waist, and suddenly a Turkic-style long knife with a slight arc was drawn out with a "sonorous", and his legs lightly knocked the horse's belly, and the war horse ran horizontally in front of the neat wall-like array: "Jizhou must be taken, and everything will be conquered."
"Jizhou must be taken, and everything will be conquered" "Jizhou must be taken, and everything will be conquered" Tens of thousands of Khitan cavalry spoke in unison, and the sound of the convergence was like a mountain and a sea, earth-shattering, and in a birch forest in the distance, countless birds and birds flew up and circled in the sunset sky.
Sun Wanrong suddenly flicked his horse, slashed the long knife towards the south, and shouted hard: "Keep going" Thousands of troops and horses were like the angry tide that burst the embankment, crushed the small river in front of them, and rolled southward To the south, to the south, and to the south, under the southern sky, the layers of sunset were as red as blood, and the cavalry covering the sky soon merged with the red sunset In Luoyang City in the evening, because it is almost time to close the door, there are not many pedestrians on the long street, and occasionally some pedestrians who return late are also in a hurry.
On the bank of Tianjin Bridge, a team of people and horses walked slowly.
The soldiers guarding around were Yulin Guards with bright armor and very mighty looks, and the middle group was a Turkic with fur and fur and curly hair and a sharp nose.
The Turkic envoy was a short man in his early forties, with a hooked beard, and a rather unruly expression, but his eyes were shrewd and cunning.
In the face of Liu Ruoyu's disrespectful attitude, the Turkic envoy did not feel sorry at all, just smiled faintly, and replied in Chinese with a foreign accent: "There is Liu Dianke, we don't have any other needs, I just hope that the emperor of your country can give us an answer as soon as possible, our Khan's patience is not very good."
Liu Ruoyu's face changed, he snorted heavily, flicked the horse's head, and walked away.
The Turkic envoy smiled triumphantly, turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the pavilion with his legs, which were a little loopy because of his long-term horseback riding.
On the Wucheng Palace, the prime ministers and several important ministers of the court are still here, and they have not yet left the palace.
Wu Zetian looked tired, but the extreme anger made her old face still full of majesty: "How can this reason be simply how can there be such a reason, such as silk, farm tools, seeds, steel, medicinal materials, agricultural books, medical books, this is not counted, he still has to ask for the six states of Hequ and the land of the capital of the palace, this Mo Si is really bold, I haven't settled the crime of invasion with him, he still dares to be so insatiable" Li Qiao, the young eunuch of Lintai, said solemnly: "If Your Majesty agrees to these conditions of the Turks, so that Mo Si can get people, land, and agricultural materials, the Turkic national strength will inevitably become stronger."
Moreover, the Turkic wolf is ambitious, greedy and untrustworthy, and even if he is promised so many conditions, it will not be possible to exchange for peace.
The minister thought that it was necessary to strengthen the armament to prevent its attack."
Li Qiao is also a member of the royalist heir party, and he supports the current emperor Li Dan, so Wei Yuanzhong and Yao Chong immediately pulled him into the political core.
His words were naturally also the meaning of Wei Yuanzhong and Yao Chong.
At present, the situation is still unclear, although the emperor is angry, it is not easy to determine what the true intention is, and it is most appropriate for him to come forward first.
Wu Zetian took the emperor's son Li Dan as the marshal and Di Renjie as the deputy marshal, sent troops to the Western Regions, and fought against the Turks.
Di Renjie couldn't catch up, and he didn't have the confidence to fight a chasing battle, so he just stationed troops on the border to strictly prevent the Turks from counterattacking, and at the same time helped the affected border people to rebuild their homes, and the two sides were temporarily deadlocked.
At this time, there was civil strife in Tibet, the kings were fighting for power, and the Turks lacked an ally with the same voice, and they were unwilling to fight a decisive battle with the imperial court alone, but Mo Si was unwilling to give up this good opportunity, so he sent envoys to Beijing to propose peace to the empress.
His conditions are: he recognizes Wu Zetian as his stepmother, and at the same time is willing to marry his daughter to the kings of the court and form a father and son with the court.
However, at the same time, he also asked the imperial court for a large number of silks, agricultural tools, seeds, iron tools, and even medical books and medicinal materials.
That's not all, he also asked the imperial court for the Turkic households of the six states of Hequ that had been surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, as well as the territory of the Duhufu alone.
There are more than 8,000 accounts in the six prefectures of Hequ, and the accounts are the household units of the nomads, which are equivalent to more than 8,000 households of the Han people, and the population of a household is about five or six people, and the more than 8,000 accounts are 40,000 or 50,000 people, and each family has at least one strong man, that is, nearly 10,000 warriors who are good at riding and shooting.
The most important thing is that these Khitan households took the initiative to defect to the imperial court, if they were pushed to the silent sip, how would the people of the world view the dependency tribes like this in the Great Zhou are not only one or two The Shan Yu Duhufu is one of the six most important Duhufu established in the Tang Dynasty, which belongs to the Guannei Dao, and its jurisdiction is far from the desert in the north and reaches the Yellow River in the south.
If they really promised them, the Turks would be able to graze sheep under Wu Zetian's nose.
Wu Zetian glanced at Yang Zaisi and asked, "Yang Qing, what do you think?"
Yang Zaisi hurriedly said: "Well, the minister thinks that he is willing to serve his mother with his son, and marry his daughter to the kings of my dynasty, and he still has a great respect for His Majesty."
However, they asked for the six states to be downgraded, and they asked for Shan Yu Duhu, and they wanted me to cut the land and abandon the people in the Great Zhou, so the request was simply " The words "losing power and humiliating the country" came to his lips, and he swallowed it again, and quickly changed it to "It is simply insatiable, and the minister thinks that if he agrees, it will inevitably encourage the ambitions of the Turks, and he should be sternly refused" Yao Chong listened to his ambiguity, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Not only can you not allow the land to be cut off and abandon the people, even if you give silk, grain seeds, farm tools, iron tools, agricultural books, medical books and other things, you should also resolutely not allow this to be the enemy Turks taking advantage of the unquiet north of my court, sending troops to invade my border and killing my border people, and now I only say a word to negotiate peace, without any punishment, the court wants to give him so many materials, how can there be such a reason in the world" Nayan Lu Jie said worriedly: "What Yao Xiang said is true, but although the soldiers and horses led by Di Gong seem to be strong, most of them are untrained recruits, and Di Gong himself has never led troops to fight, and lacks experience in battle formations.
When Wu Zetian heard this, his eyebrows couldn't help frowning deeply.
She regretted a little that she shouldn't have listened to what Zhou Xing said and killed the black tooth.
If he is still alive, how dare he dare to open his mouth, and the 160,000 army will not be wiped out in Huangzhangkou. hateful that Wu Yiyi, but when he arrived in the north, he only held on to the city, and never dared to find the enemy to fight, and sat back and watched the Khitan crisscross Hebei, causing nuisance everywhere, otherwise he could have transferred northern soldiers and horses to join the Helong Corps, at that time, how could Mo Si dare to take advantage of the fire to rob, and why did the imperial court take care of one or the other, and had to let the Turks blackmail.
After thinking about it for a long time, Wu Zetian's anger gradually subsided, and he sighed deeply: "Let's stabilize the Turkic envoys first and delay time."
