Li Liangzuo deployed the army outside the city of Talas, with the arrival of the Xia army under the city of Talas, Ponteler began to shrink his forces, and the Xia army fought Pontele knew how difficult the Xia army was, not to mention that the last time it was Li Wu who led the troops, and this time it was Li Wu's son Li Liangzuo, 100,000 Xia soldiers came to the city, although the Turgish army defending the city had an advantage in numbers, but Ponteler did not dare to have any slackness, and still ordered the army to strictly guard the city and not go out of the city to fight. \ Outside the city of Talas, inside the camp of the Xia army.
Li Liangzuo was dealing with military affairs, and Xiao Zhuozi, who was dressed in military uniform, walked in and said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, just now the sentry cavalry has reported that the soldiers and horses have been driving from the northeast, and it is unknown whether they are friends or enemies. ” Li Liangzuo issued a military order very decisively: "Order, gather 10,000 light cavalry to go with me, and the rest of the troops are waiting for the opportunity to attack, and if there is a situation, they will immediately attack and strike first." ” "Yes, the minion commands." 10,000 Xia army light cavalry quickly assembled, Li Liangzuo led 10,000 light cavalry to leave the camp to the northeast, in the northeast of Talas City has been the living area of the Tuqi Shi people, at this time does not rule out the possibility of the rescue of the Tuqi Shi people, Li Liangzuo personally led the troops to attack, once it is found that this is the Tuqi Shi reinforcements, will be able to launch an attack, Li Liangzuo is very confident that with his 10,000 light cavalry can completely eliminate the enemy troops who came to the rescue.
Li Liangzuo led the army to line up fifty miles northeast of the camp, and it was still in an attack formation; After the opposing army approached, the Xia army came out alone in the formation and rode towards the army coming from the opposite side; Li Liangzuo immediately ordered: "Pass the order, the bow and crossbow will not be launched, and be ready to respond to the enemy at any time." ” "Obedience" Due to the distance, Li Liangzuo couldn't see the situation in the distance clearly, but just in case, the Xia army had already prepared to attack; Soon the Xia cavalry, who had gone to explore the formation, came back and brought back a person, and the sentry cavalry reported to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, in front of our army is not the reinforcements of the Tuqi Shi people, but the Qarlu people, and this person is the commander of the Qarlu people. ” Yao Livas immediately dismounted and saluted Li Liangzuo and said: "Weichen Yao Livas see His Majesty the Emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ” "Aiqing, let's be flat," Li Liangzuo said with a wave of his hand; "Aiqing is not staying in his own territory, what is the so-called matter of leading the troops to Talas City?"
Yao Livas said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, Wechen heard that the Turgish people launched a rebellion to attack the city of Talas, and Wechen specially led troops to reinforce it. ” "I'm tired, since I'm here, let's go back to the camp with me" "Your Majesty" With the support of Li Wu, the Qarluq people have developed very rapidly in recent years, and over the years, the Qarluq people have continued to devour some small tribes of the Black Khan Dynasty to grow, and themselves, today's Qarluq people have long been different from what they used to be, and the population of the entire Qarluq Ye Protectorate has reached an astonishing 400,000 people, because it is a grassland tribe, basically all the people are soldiers, and the population of 400,000 people can reach 100,000 except for some old and weak women and children.
Li Liangzuo personally invited Yao Livas and his generals to a banquet, and at the end of the banquet, Li Liangzuo asked Yao Livas: "How many soldiers and horses did Tong Ye Hu bring this time?"
"Your Majesty, Wechen poured the country's troops, a total of 100,000 troops, Wechen personally led 60,000 troops forward, and another 40,000 troops protected the herdsmen of the Wechen tribe in the west."
"Let your tribe temporarily move to the Talas grassland, and when this battle is over, I will divide the grassland for you according to your merits."
"Your Majesty" Li Liangzuo asked Yao Livas to move the Qarluq tribes to the Talas grassland, in fact, in order to better control the Qarluq department, with the family members of the Qarlu cavalry in hand, Li Liangzuo was not afraid of what Yao Livas was playing, once there was any trouble, Li Liangzuo could quickly wipe out the entire Qarluq tribe.
After Yao Livas and the others left, Li Liangzuo asked Xiao Zhuozi with a dark face, "The population of the Qarlu Department has expanded to 500,000 in just a few years, why didn't you report to me. ” Xiao Zhuozi cautiously replied: "The Qarlu Ministry is supported by His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and the slave thinks that His Royal Highness the King of Qin has received His Majesty's approval, so he did not report it, and ask His Majesty to atone for his sins." ” "Wu'er's courage is getting bigger and bigger, and his wings are stiff, and he dares to do such a thing without me" "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Qin must have his own considerations for doing this, the Qarlu Department is an important branch of the Black Khan Dynasty, and with them, it will be easier for His Majesty to control the Black Khan Dynasty."
"You don't need to mention his quibbles, I don't mean to blame Wu'er, as my son, it is understandable that the prince of the Great Xia Kingdom wants to expand his power, but Wu'er is upright by nature, I am worried that Wu'er will be used by others, you go to the Qarlu Department to investigate clearly, the more detailed the better."
"Yes, the minion commands."
In the next few days, Li Liangzuo did not attack the city, but built siege equipment, the city of Talas is not very large, but the city walls are very strong, they are all made of stone; The Xia army did not have sufficient experience in siege, the Xia army was a field army at the beginning, although it also had experience in siege, but most of them relied on surprise attacks to win, and the real siege battle had not been fought a few times at all, so the Xia army still lacked experience in attacking the city.
When the army was building siege equipment, Li Liangzuo had nothing to do to hunt around, and in the past few days, the herdsmen of the Qarlu Department have arrived one after another, and their camp was arranged by Li Langzuo to a position about 100 miles east of Talas City, which is outside the attack range of the Turgish people, and is within the military deterrence of the Xia army.
On this day, Li Liangzuo took Xiao Zhuozi out to hunt, at first the sky was still very good, and it didn't take long for the sky to be gloomy, it seemed that it was about to rain, and the place where Li Liangzuo hunted was far away from the camp, so Xiao Zhuozi suggested: "Your Majesty, there is a Qarlu tribe not far away, or where should we go?"
"Okay, raise the banner of our army, so as not to have a misunderstanding with the Qarluqs."
"Obedience" Under the leadership of Xiao Zhuozi, Li Liangzuo led hundreds of cavalry to the entire tribe soon, but when Li Liangzuo came here, he found that this place did not look like a tribe at all, but more like a military camp; The tribe was very well guarded, and there were herdsmen, cattle and sheep, children and women in the camp, if it weren't for this, Li Liangzuo would have thought that he had come to a military camp.
When Li Liangzuo came to the door of the tribal camp, he was stopped, and Li Liangzuo said to the guards very carefully: "We are the patrol of the Xia army, it is about to rain this day, can you let us go in to avoid the rain?"
"Please wait a moment, I need to report to my master."
It didn't take long for Li Liangzuo to get permission to enter, and the first impression of the whole camp was that Li Liangzuo was neat, which was very rare among the grassland tribes, and many people in this tribe were not wearing Hu costumes, but Han costumes that had been reformed like the Great Xia Kingdom, and in some camps, Li Liangzuo could even hear some children reciting the Analects in Dangxiang or Chinese.
