The second more is sent, begging for subscription For half a month, the entire northern border of Datang has been making preparations.
Now there is news from all sides that preparations for deployment have been completed, and Li Shimin of Chang'an has also sent a special envoy to inquire.
His Majesty asked Li Pingzhang when he would launch the general attack, and the commanders of all the provinces had already gathered their troops and horses and were ready.
Just wait for Li Pingzhang to say a word from you, if Shuofang is ready, you shout here to fight, the northern border of the Tang Dynasty thousands of miles, from Yuguan in Hebei to Dunhuang Yangguan in Hexi, will be a comprehensive counterattack. ” The two or three hundred thousand troops in the entire north, several commanders, are now waiting for Li Chao's decision.
Li Chao, the Shuo Fang Jiedu envoy, became the key core of the entire campaign.
As soon as he said to start fighting, the whole line was about to start.
Even Li Shimin put the decision to finally start the fight in the hands of Li Chao.
Whether to fight or not, and when to fight, are all decided by Li Chao, the Shuo Fang Jiedu envoy.
A rainstorm came unexpectedly.
Lightning and thunder roared, and torrential rain poured down.
The heavy rain in the sky and the earth were blurred, and the construction of Ningyuan City was stopped, even the shipyard at the port wharf and the ballista factory in the fort were stopped.
In the summer, the rain began to increase, and even came without warning, even in a place like the Hetao, it is also a rare time of the year when it rains.
The rain kept falling, and in half a day, the water of Wuhu Lake was rising.
This kind of rain can't do anything.
Castles can't be repaired, ordnance can't be built, ships can't be built, and even fishing and pickling can only be stopped.
Fortunately, after this period of rushing to build Ningyuan City, the city walls and moats have been completed, and all that remains is the urn city, gatehouse, arrow tower, corner tower, warehouse, house, etc.
The soldiers moved the camp to a high slope and sheltered from the water, dug drainage ditches around the tents, and dug dry ditches in the camp.
Groups of tents, in which the soldiers sat mending clothes, sharpening knives, wiping armor, and maintaining bows and arrows.
The rain was so heavy that it was difficult to make a fire, but fortunately in early summer, the weather was not cold.
It's just that you can't eat hot rice, you can only chew dried meat, salted fish and fried rice.
At this time, everyone misses the fresh stewed fish again, the hot fresh fish soup, there will be a little green wild vegetables, mushrooms, etc., which is a hundred times stronger than the dry, salty and chewy dried salted fish.
Many grain ships and salt ships from Lingzhou were docked at the wharf, and the supplies on board were not unloaded.
The boatmen squatted in the hatch of the ship, looking at the rain curtain and enjoying a rare leisure.
Although the rain is annoying, it also brings everyone a rare leisure.
Li Chao stood on the tower of Wubao in the inner city of Ningyuan City, standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the rain and fog in the sky.
Li Shimin sent an attendant to ask him about his decision, which made him very stressed.
The counteroffensive is already on the way.
It's just that now Li Chao has more and more information in his hands, which makes him a little hesitant about a full-scale counteroffensive.
Now Shuofang Town is divided into three routes.
Li Chao commanded 60,000 government soldiers and township soldiers, guarded Lingzhou, and now has 50,000 soldiers in Ningyuan.
Cheng Yanjin, Niu Jinda, Xue Wanche, Liang Luoren and others led 20,000 soldiers to be stationed in Xiazhou.
Wei Chigong, Guo Xiaoke, Li Junxian, Liu Gan and others led 20,000 troops to Linzhou.
There are three roads, left, middle and right, each guarding the vital place.
But Li Simo also said that to the north of Li Chao, there were at least 100,000 Turkic cavalry in the Hetao area.
In the Houtao area alone, there are almost 30,000 accounts, and Li Simo is only stationed at Dengkou, and only 3,000 of his subordinates can command, and the other 5,000 may not listen to him.
But in Fengzhou, the strongest force is not Li Simo, but Yu Shot Ashina.
He was a high-ranking official in the Turks, and he was slightly the same as Ye Hu, and he was in charge of the leaders of other troops.
It is done by the children of the Khan's direct lineage, and anyone who is suspicious of his bloodline and system is not allowed to do it.
It is equivalent to the feudal princes and the commander of the army, similar to the clan princes of the Han Dynasty.
Li Simo's father used to be set up, but when he arrived, because he was a Hu person, he had a problem with his bloodline, so he never got the opportunity to be sealed, and he didn't have the opportunity to divide the feudal army.
Jieli Khan's real name is Ashina Dubi, and he served as Mohe Dushi before he became the Great Khan.
Before the last time the little Khan of Tuli was the Khan, he was also named a mud step.
Now in the Houtao region, Yu Sheshea Ashina Momo, is the son of the Chuluo Khan, the cousin of the little Turki Khan, and the nephew of Jieli.
Because when Chu Luo Khan died, he was still young, or his strength was not as good as Jieli and Tuli, so he failed to inherit the Khan's throne, and the little Khan did not become a Yu Shot, and finally was sealed a Yu shot, and led 10,000 households to Houtao, becoming the largest Turkic nobleman in the Houtao region.
Yu shot his father Luo Khan, and before succeeding to the throne of Khan, he was also a set, and he was set up.

Yu shot Ashina very young, only in his early twenties.
But the bloodline is noble, the status is high, and the strength in the back set is very strong.
He also has a brother, Ashina Sheer, who has also been sealed early, and the seal is extended.
Together with Shibi's other son, Desire Valley, he divided the town to guard Mobei, and led the Tiele tribes together.
The little Khan of Tuli, the Desire Valley She, the Tuoshe Ashina Sheer, and the Yu Shot set Ashina Momo, this little Khan is the four strongest princes in the Eastern Turks today.
Yu shot set is the tube of the southern Turkic face.
Jieli, the Great Khan, is also average, and the four nephews together are stronger than him.
Although the Turks were strong for a time and dominated the steppe, their system was also very characteristic of the steppe.
It is mainly based on the feudal system, and most of the official positions are hereditary, and all the people are soldiers.
After the initial chaos, the Turkic official system has also formed its own system, with a total of 28 ranks, all of which are hereditary.
Under the Great Khan, there are Little Khans, Ye Hu, She, Special Service, Tong Lifa, Tutun Fa, etc.
"The king's servant, thank you for your hard work to go back and tell Your Majesty, I think the time is not yet ripe, and now is not the time for a full-scale counterattack."
Wang Neishou is in his thirties, white and fat, he is also a person of the hidden mansion, and he is deeply trusted by Li Shimin.
This time, I took an errand and came to Shuofang, I thought that Li Chao would start fighting immediately, but I didn't expect that Li Chao finally said that he would not fight.
"Xiangguo, don't fight" Li Chao shook his head, "It's not that you don't fight, it's just that the time hasn't come yet."
We still have to fight, but it is not yet the time to fight in a big and all-round way.
I'll see when it happens, and the Shuo side will still fight, but the scale will definitely not be as big as originally expected. ” "I can dare to ask Xiangguo, why" "The situation is changing."
The king's chamberlain was a little speechless.
There are some things that Li Chao can't explain to him too clearly, in fact, not to fight is only Li Chao's temporary decision.
This is also due to the analysis of intelligence, Li Chao synthesized intelligence and found that the strength of the Turks in the Houtao region was very strong, beyond expectations.
At the same time, the Turks do not seem to be monolithic, listening to Li Simo's introduction, it seems that the Mobei people want to stir up trouble recently.
And several of Jieli's nephews are all powerful princes, but their Lao Tzu has been a great khan, and everyone thinks they have the right to inherit. is not so convinced by Jieli's uncle.
Li Chao feels that there should be room for manipulation.
It is better not to fight for the time being, observe the movement, if the Turkic civil strife arises, it is better to fight at that time.
"Tell Your Majesty, although it is not appropriate to start a full-scale battle for the time being, I am still ready to find an opportunity to recover the meandering land."
The meandering land of the river is almost the Ordos region.
"Henan land is not recovered" Henan, in the Qin and Han dynasties, refers not only to the river meander, but also to include many places in Houtao, Xitao and Longyou.
Even at this time, the Yellow River in Fengzhou was divided into two parts, one main trunk was along the Wolf Mountain and Yin Mountain, and the Wujia River was the main stream in later generations.
The main stream of later generations, called Tungenshui in the Tang Dynasty, was only a southern branch.
Therefore, although the Henan land in the Tang Dynasty does not include Longyou, Xitao and other places, it actually includes the Houtao and the river meander.
The meandering land generally refers to the area north of the Great Wall in Guanzhong and south of the Yellow River, that is, the Ordos Plateau.
There are many deserts, Gobi and quicksand areas in the meandering area, but the area near Tungenshui, a tributary of the Yellow River, is also an alluvial plain, and there are many river valleys and slopes in the eastern and southern regions.
The area was vast, but sparsely populated, and only in the northern part of the region, near the Yellow River, was there a lot of nomadic Turkic people.
Li Chao's plan was not to forcibly seize Fengzhou for the time being, but to occupy a large area of Hequ first, completely drive the Turks out of Hequ, and push the line of control between the two sides to the Yellow River.
As for Toyoshi, let's think of another way to communicate with the young Yu She, who is in his twenties.
If Yu Sheshe is a more ambitious young man, then maybe he can convince him to rise up and make a profit.
After all, a Turkic southern governor must be more tempting than an Eastern Turkic Great Khan.
The royal chamberlain couldn't think of this, and Li Chao didn't want to tell him more.
Specifically, he would write a detailed letter and ask the royal chamberlain to take it back to the emperor to see.
"Lee Sang-kook, there's a piece of news that I forgot to tell you.
The Duke of Qian Guo returned to Beijing a few days ago, and the eldest princess of Pingyang and the Duke of Qian Guo reconciled and left. ” As he said this, the chamberlain looked at Li Chao's face to see how he reacted.
To his surprise, after Li Chao heard this, he just said a word.
He didn't show much surprise, no sadness or joy.
Li Chao has also been in contact with Li Xiuning for a long time, and he knows something about her character.
Once she decides on something, none of the nine cows can pull it back.

Since she said so resolutely last time that she wanted to leave, it is really not unusual for her and Chai Shao to leave.
It's just that Li Chao is indeed a little embarrassed in his heart.
This thing seems to have something to do with me.
Historically, Princess Wu De of Binh Duong died for five years and was buried with military honors.
Now, six years after martial arts, Li Xiuning is still alive and well, and even became the eldest princess, and through the half-moon talk, she has become a heroine sung by people all over the world.
But she separated from Chai Shao.
The world is unpredictable.
"Is there anything I need to say about Lee Sang-kook to bring back?"
"It's to bring to the eldest princess of Pingyang."
Li Chao was stunned, looked at the rain curtain outside the city tower, and then shook his head.
Now that you have decided to let go, it is better to forget about each other t1706231537:
