Traveling to Tang Dynasty

As a general, he can lead the soldiers to fight, and what he relies on is definitely not personal martial arts, but a smart mind.

It is not that Wei Chigong has never fought in a battle of winning more with less, but with the 10,000 men and horses in his hands, it is obviously not a good idea to face the 200,000 Turkic army. Of course Wei Chigong would not do the matter of touching an egg with a stone.

Wei Chigong immediately ordered to divide his troops into two teams to avoid the Turkic forward army, and make an ambush on the left and right flanks of the army to contain the speed of the Turkic advance and win time for Chang'an to prepare.

The

Turkic army did slow down its march, but not because it was afraid of Wei Chigong's ambush attack. Jieli relied on his strong soldiers and horses, and burned and plundered all the way through the villages and towns he passed, so the speed of the march naturally slowed down.

Jieli Khan also led troops to fight all year round and had excellent command skills. Unlike Li Er, Jieli added half of his skill points to his looting ability. In the Tang border these years, all he has done is robbery and plunder. In the past, he took advantage of some advantages and left, but it was the first time that Jieli went so deep into the hinterland of the Tang Kingdom.

In this way, the Turkic army killed all the way and robbed all the way, and finally defeated Jingyang County, Shaanxi, and Chang'an is only forty miles away!

Don't look at Li Er's usual gentle conversations with people, no matter who he meets, he has a good face, but Li Shimin is a short-tempered person in his bones. Not long after Li Er ascended the throne, he was blocked at the door of his house with troops, and if he closed the city gate tightly to avoid fighting, he would not have to be the emperor.

Li Er urgently recruited, and all the adult men in Chang'an climbed to the top of the city, and he personally led 30,000 elite soldiers out of the city, and set up a formation under the city to prepare to meet the enemy. These 30,000 soldiers are already all the troops that can be drawn in Chang'an City.

Li Er was angry, but he was not carried away by the anger. Li Er knew that at this time, the troops were insufficient, and he could not fight, and he could not shrink into the city and ignore the outside of the city. Looking at these two dilemmas, Li Erchou's head is two big.

Li Er didn't want to fight, and the same Jieli didn't want to fight either. To say that Li Er didn't want to fight because he didn't have enough troops, Jieli didn't want to fight because he had gained a lot in the past few days. To put it bluntly, this time it is to take advantage of the fire to rob, and these Turkic armies are rushing to rob.

Jieli knew that Chang'an City was high and stone-strong, and he couldn't fight it without hundreds of thousands of lives. Jieli didn't think about attacking the city at all, the cavalry had no role in attacking the city, not to mention, and the 200,000 army was not moved by his own all-powerful command.

There is nothing that cannot be sat down and discussed, it is just a matter of whether the two sides are willing or not. The Turks sent an envoy to convey the demands of the two khans.

Li Er warmly received the envoy and agreed to the request of the two khans. may be the reason why he was too "harmonious" in the conversation, Li Er also specially arranged a place to live in Menxia Province for Zhi Zhi Sili, and did not let him leave.

There

is no other way to be stronger than men, and the attitude of the Turks is extremely rampant, asking for money, food and slaves. The first two Li Er can still grit his teeth and agree, but he can send his people to the Turks as slaves, and Li Er will never agree to this last article.

Li Er sent envoys to bargain with the Turks, and the Turks were not idle, bargaining while continuing to burn and loot, and the entire eastern part of Chang'an was devastated.

When Li Er saw this scene, he was furious like thunder, and he couldn't wait to pick up his sword and get on the horse and cut Jieli. After calming down, Li Er had to increase the amount of money in order to ask the Turks to withdraw their troops as soon as possible.

Li Er emptied the harem of the treasury, took money and jewelry, beheaded a white horse at the Weishui Bridge, and signed an unequal treaty with the Turks.

Jieli and Tuli got a lot of money, and immediately ordered the troops to retreat and leave with a full load, how happy the Turks were, how angry Li Er was.

Seeing the retreat of the Turkic army, the people of Chang'an finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the people outside the city were still suffering. This group of people with the blood of robbers, before Master Ma invented Makqin, has always regarded themselves as the descendants of wolves, robbery is hunting, how could they give up their instincts with Li Er after a verbal agreement. On the way to the retreat of the Turks, they burned and looted all the way, who would dislike their own money.

Ma Shenhu can't say why, in recent days, he just felt unwell, until today on the official road, I saw several refugees fleeing in the direction of Luoyang, I knew that something had happened in Chang'an. After stopping a few refugees to understand the situation, Ma Sanhu immediately decided that he could not go any further.

You can't go forward because there is a Turkic army in front of you, and you can't follow the refugees backwards, in case the Turkic army catches up quickly, the consequences are unpredictable. Seeing that everyone had discussed for a long time and had no idea, Qianyuan opened his mouth and said: "Brother Ma, now we are not far from Weinanyi, there is a temple in the mountains near here, why don't we go up the mountain to hide?".

Turkic robbery also pays attention to efficiency, cavalry up the mountain to rob a broken temple, it is impossible to think about it, everyone thinks that Wang Qianyuan's proposal is good, so they turn their horses' heads and march to the mountains.

The mountain road is difficult to walk, the temple is difficult to find, and the group walks the mountain road with difficulty. The more difficult the mountain road is, the more people are worried, and the more difficult the temple is to find, the more happy the people are, because it means that if the Turks go up the mountain, it will be so difficult as well.

Ma Shenhu asked the cavalry to roll out a carpet search, and finally found the temple before dark. Master Huihai has seen everyone and learned about the situation under the mountain. Hurriedly ordered the disciples to sort out a few empty rooms, regardless of whether there were men or women in the carriage, and immediately invited the group into the temple.

There were also people with bright minds among the people, and for days on end, people who had fled had gone up the mountain to seek refuge. Master Huihai does not distinguish between men, women, old and young, as long as he is fleeing, he will accept all the orders.

The temple of Great Compassion, which is built on the mountainside, is already small, and in the past few days, it has taken in refugees one after another, making the already small temple even more crowded. Master Huihai Bodhisattva couldn't bear to see the fleeing refugees suffer again, so he led his disciples to smash through the houses and take in more suffering people.

It is also a problem for so many people to eat and drink, and the monks of the Great Compassion Temple usually rely on fate to survive, and the people who fled can have as much food in their hands.

Seeing this, Ma Shenhu left part of the rations of the eldest grandson's mother and son, and regardless of whether the monks ate meat or not, he donated all the food he brought in the car.

I don't know if it's because of panic or because there are too many people, the more people control the food, the more hungry people feel, although there is food donated by Ma Shenhu, but this is not enough, the amount of food consumed every day. Just when Master Huihai was struggling with what to feed everyone tomorrow, Wang Dashan stood up.

I have worked in Youzhou, I have a wealth of experience in soup kitchen, I don't believe you go to Youzhou to ask, the one who doesn't know the name of my Wang Dashan, you go to buy flax cakes as long as you mention my name, the hawker will give one more.
