The vanguard of the Tang army Chai Shao met a team of Turkic light cavalry running from Mercedes.
"Jie Li Khan had entered the Great Wall first and headed into the clouds. He left his troops in Dali City to prepare food and grass for the generals. He hoped that after the generals would replenish supplies, he would go south to meet as soon as possible."
The news was reported back to the Central Army Chai Shao's office behind.
"Jie Li Khan has entered the pass? It's so fast." Chai Shao was stunned. "Fortunately, he left us supplies, sent orders, and accelerated his progress, and went to Dali City tonight to spend the night. Tell the brothers that if there is food and supplies for Italy, you can have a full meal today."
It was originally planned that the Tang army should have arrived in Dingxiang half a month ago, but because they delayed a few days in Jiuyuan and encountered a flood on the way, Chai Shao's army was half a month late.
This also led to the fact that the food and grass in Chai Shao's army were almost exhausted, and the distribution was controlled on the road. Many Tang soldiers were hungry. When they heard that there was food and grass supply in front of them, they could have a full meal, and they immediately became energetic.
General Wang Changkai said, "We have been wasting too much time, and Jie Li has already entered the Great Wall."
Another general, Sun Huaze, said, "Even if Jie Li conquers Taiyuan, it doesn't matter. We can still have fewer casualties."
Chai Shao also thought so, but after all, the ultimate goal of sending troops this time was to surround Wei and save Zhao, and to destroy Qin first, so he had to establish a good relationship with Jie Li.
"Start up the march."
At dusk.
Chai Shao's entire army finally arrived outside the city of Dali. From a distance, the Tang army saw the tall Jingguan outside the city.
"There are all people's heads that were built shortly after Xinliu. If you look closely, everyone's heads are all Han people."
Upon hearing the report, Chai Shao frowned.
"The Hulu was indeed cruel. He captured the profits and even massacred the city. After the massacre, he built a capital temple to show off."
The Hu general Shi Danae stood there a little embarrassedly. He was also a Turkic, but he was not an Eastern Turkic person but a Western Turkic person. He was once a general under the Western Turkic Khan. Later, Chuluo was defeated and surrendered to Sui. He escorted him. After Chuluo entered the Sui Dynasty, he was left in the Central Plains by Yang Guang. Shi Danae turned into a Sui general.
Later, Li Yuan raised an army into Guanzhong, and Shi Danai, who was in Chang'an, joined the Tang army.
"As sooner or later, my Tang Dynasty will destroy such a fierce enemy." Chai Shao said, but on the other hand, after seeing these Jingguans, he also thought that Jie Li was powerful at this time, so he did not doubt the authenticity of the Turks in Dali City.
Several Turkic knights rushed out of the city, saying that Dali City was small and had just experienced a siege battle. The city was broken and could not accommodate all the Tang troops, so they asked Chai Shao to station the army outside the city and only led the officers into the city to rest.
While talking, a convoy also came out of the city of Dali, full of trucks of food and even some wine and meat.
Chai Shao and others had no objection to this, but were very satisfied.
At that moment, the generals were allowed to camp and get food separately.
He led the generals into the city to thank the Turks.
The grain truck entered the camp.
A group of Tang troops surrounded him.
Someone rushed forward without any rush, lifted the cloth on it, and saw the bags of grain, and couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha, grain, grain, come and see it, it's all corn grain, it smells so good, it must be the new grain I just collected this summer."
Someone shouted over there, "What's the point of Sugu? I have mutton here, fresh mutton that has just been slaughtered, look how bright red this meat is."
"I have wine, wow, the smell of wine can't help but even the saliva flows out."
An officer came over and pulled away the excited Tang soldiers, "Don't rob them randomly, retreat to the side. The officers from each battalion came to collect food, wine and meat. Those who should chop firewood should chop firewood, those who should pick water should pick water, and those who should drink horses should drink horses. Remember to dig a toilet in each two teams, and they must dig in the downwind."
The officer issued orders in an orderly manner, and looked at the messy soldiers and couldn't help but shake his head.
The Guanlong Prefecture soldiers who once had a brilliant world had almost been exhausted in the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Most of the 100,000 troops heading north this time were conquered from the Longyou area, and most of them were the original Western Qin army. The Western Qin army was the Qiang tribes of Longyou, as well as many Longyou bandits and refugees who rebelled at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
Although these people put on military robes and picked up weapons, they had no military discipline and no combat power.
He came from Longyou to Dingxiang outside the Great Wall. He marched on the road for several months, and even fled many people in the middle. He had no choice but to force the men to add a lot along the way.
If it weren't for Chai Shao, Shi Dana and others, they would have some skills, and this army would not have been able to reach this place on an expedition.
Eighty thousand Tang troops surrounded Dali City and set up a ten-mile camp.
The Tang army was very relaxed and the camp was very casual. They set up tents in a mess, without any camp or trenches, and they didn't even stand up.
The camp was bustling and noisy, and they were all looking forward to delivering food, wine and meat, so they didn’t have any thoughts to rectify it.
Anyway, in their minds, since Jie Li had destroyed the Qin army in Dingxiang and slaughtered Dali and Tucheng, there would be no enemy within hundreds of miles.
In this case, there is naturally no reason to be too alert and guard against it.
Everyone was waiting for a full meal, they were just watching how much food they could get and how much wine and meat they could get.
For eighty thousand people, each team received a stone of millet, another ten kilograms of meat, and then a bucket of wine.
The number was not large, but for the Tang army, who had been half hungry for many days, it was already tempting enough. As soon as they received the food, the teams immediately became busy.
Some people are responsible for pounding millet and grain husks. These millets are all with shells. After pounding millet grains with one stone, they can be about seven dou left. On average, one person only has more than one liter of corn, but it is enough to have a full meal.
"Only ten kilograms of meat."
"This meat is not good either, it also has bones and internal organs."
"Some of them will be fine and they are complaining. Damn, ten kilograms of meat are also meat. Take water and stew it in a pot. When the flesh and intestines are stewed, they will be all in the soup, and everyone can be delicious." The team leader said loudly.
So everyone went to pick firewood and pick up grass, pick firewood and pick grass, pick water, pick water, dig stoves, and pound rice. It was very lively.
The sun sets.
The city of Italy was filled with joy, and it seemed like a picnic camping.
Siye stood on the top of the city and watched the ten-mile camp outside the city, "Has Chai Shao entered the city?"
"Chai Shao has entered the city with hundreds of officers and guards. According to the instructions of the King of Jin, I have arranged them in the backyard of the original county government office and prepared enough wine and meat for them. Now they are eager to start barbecue by themselves."
"very good."
"King of Jin, Chai Shao repeatedly urged him and said he would like to thank you in person."
Siye sneered coldly, "What he wants to thank is the Turks."
Everything is ready, just wait until it gets dark.
