Chapter 4 Attack on Junji Mountain

When Li Ke wanted to take Yu Dujunshan Khan Court, the best way to take is naturally to take Junji Mountain, and then head northwest towards Yu Dujunshan. However, the best way to take is also the most difficult to walk, because Li Ke knew this road clearly, and Xue Yantuo people also knew it.

They would not let Li Ke pass by smoothly. After all, the 40,000 Xue Yantuo soldiers stationed in Junji Mountain are not decorations, and Yimang is not decorations.

Of course, Li Ke's army naturally arrived first from the reinforcements of Yu Tujunshan, but when Li Ke's army arrived at the Junji Mountain Pass, the other side of the Dabu River was already on high alert, and Xue Yantuo's soldiers were covered with.

"Yi Mang is not afraid of trouble. Before my army crossed the river, he actually set up a defensive position." Li Ke stood on the hillside under the fort, watching Xue Yantuo soldiers holding bows and arrows and swords on the other side, facing Li Ji, Su Dingfang, and Ashina Zhongdao beside him.

Ashinazhong replied to Li Ke: "This Yimang has always been like this, which is completely contrary to the generality, and is even more stable than the Dumozhi. In the past, when Dumozhi was in Junji Mountain, he often had some conflicts with our army, but since the Yimang came, he was able to restrain his subordinates without crossing the boundary and never had any conflicts with our army. He was really steady and powerful."

Li Ji glanced at the Xueyantuo army formation on the other side, raised a smile on his lips, and said to Ashinazhong: "This is stable, but when he set up the formation, he just copied it, and he never adapted to local conditions, so he could not be considered a good general."

Li Ke nodded and said, "When Guan Yimang uses troops, he is conservative, and he is indeed not a good general. But for Xue Yantuo, they are not a good general, but they are just a guard who can defend Junji Mountain. In this regard, this Yimang is still worthy."

Su Dingfang, who was standing beside him, said: "I think I am quite appreciating Yimang."

Li Ke said: "As the deputy commander said, Yimang is cautious and stubborn, he uses his troops dull and does not know how to adapt. If he fights flat on the ground, even if he has a hundred thousand troops, I will not see it. However, at this Junji Mountain Pass, there is a Dabu River between the two armies. There is no other way except crossing the river to attack. People like him cannot be beaten, but I am the most troublesome to me."

Su Dingfang asked, "Is it necessary to attack with great force?"

Li Ke said: "Yimang was stationed in Junji Mountain, and his command was only 40,000 people. However, my army went north, and Yimang must have received news and had already sent people to Yu Dujun Mountain for help. Although Yu Dujun Mountain is thousands of miles away from Junji Mountain, if Xue Yantuo's soldiers came with light and fast horses, it would only take five days at most. I must take Junji Mountain within these five days to avoid long nights and dreams."

As Li Ke said, Li Ke's 60,000 elite troops, including Ashinazhong's troops who were already stationed at the Junji Mountain Pass, were less than 80,000. If he only had 40,000 Junji Mountain defenders under Yimang, he would still be at ease, but if the reinforcements from Yu Dujunshan arrived and the number of troops was equivalent, it would be even more difficult for Li Ke to cross the river again.

Su Dingfang also said: "What the Grand Commander said is that Yi Mang is too steady and it is indeed not easy to have a way to learn from it."

Li Ke said to his generals: "At midnight tonight, the defense on the other side will be relaxed. At that time, our army will attack and cross the river. Whether it is successful or not, I will first try the depth of his rays."

"No!" Li Ke gave the order, and the generals under his command bowed and responded.

———————————————

When Li Ke's army arrived at Junji Mountain, the news that Junji Mountain special forces led Mang to order people to send him to Yu Dujun Mountain was finally delivered to Yi Nan.

Yi Nan always felt inexplicably afraid of Li Ke. Sometimes he didn't know what he was afraid of Li Ke, but when he heard the word "Li Ke", he always felt uneasy.

Yu Dujunshan, Khan Court, and Big Treasure.

When Yi Nan learned about the news of Li Ke's army's northern expedition, he did not delay at all. He immediately sent an order to order Xue Yantuo to live in the Khan's court and his corpses to come to the tent to discuss matters.

Yu Dujunshan and Jinshan, Xue Yantuo and Dadushi have been fighting each other for nearly three years, and they have not yet decided the victory or defeat. They have only stopped for a while since the winter of last year. When everyone heard that Dadu had an urgent matter, they thought that there was another change in the battle situation on Jinshan, and rushed there. But when they learned from Yi Nan that Li Ke's Northern Expedition, they were shocked.

Since the ninth year of Zhenguan, after the Tang Dynasty and Xue Yantuo broke off the marriage and tribute, everyone in the world knows that the relationship between Xue Yantuo and the Tang Dynasty is no longer likely to be eased. Li Ke from Hedong in the Tang Dynasty and his Hedong army have become sharp swords hanging above Xue Yantuo's head and may fall at any time.

The sword hung over their heads for three years, and finally, today, the sword fell.

When everyone heard this news, their expressions were different, including surprise, fear, and panic. Of course, there were also many people with the excitement of the warriors, and Yi Nan's legitimate son Bazhuo was one of them.

Bazhuo's mother was Yi Nan's wife, that is, Ke Dun of Xue Yantuo, and Bazhuo was the legitimate son of Yi Nan. At the time when the Tang Dynasty and Xue Yantuo broke off their tribute, most people of Xue Yantuo were uneasy, but Bazhuo was the most happy. Because once the Tang Dynasty princess married Xue Yantuo, she would naturally be Ke Dun of Xue Yantuo, and Bazhuo would no longer be the legitimate son of Yi Nan.

As the two countries ceased their marriage and Yi Nan failed to marry the princess, Bazhuo's mother was still Xue Yantuo's Ke Dun, who was the only legitimate son of Yi Nan and the future Khan.

Just a moment after Yi Nan finished speaking, Ba Zhuo stood up and said to Yi Nan: "Father Khan, please take the elite troops of the Khan court to fight. The Tang army will be defeated within three months."

Ba Zhuo stood up first. Although he seemed a little reckless, Yi Nan did not scold him because the two countries had already started a war. However, because of Xue Yantuo's national conditions and the miserable defeat of Nuo Zhenshui back then, Xue Yantuo was too afraid of Li Ke and the Tang Dynasty. At this time, someone stood up to give courage to the people, which is naturally a good thing.

However, the effect of Bazhuo is only this, because even Yi Nan would not believe that Bazhuo could defeat the Tang army within three months when Xue Yantuo was attacked from both sides, even if the elite soldiers of the Khan Court came out.

Yi Nan pressed his hand and signaled Ba Zhuo to sit down. He didn't comment on his words. Then he asked the mature and stern official Tizhen, "What should Pasha think about this?"

The official Tizhen thought for a while and replied, "If the people who are only yes, I may not be able to stop Li Ke. I think the most urgent task is to quickly send someone to lead the elite Khan's army to Junji Mountain to support, temporarily block Li Ke's offensive, and then transfer the sudden loss from Jinshan to the head of Junji Mountain, which may protect Junji Mountain from Junji Mountain."

After hearing what the official Tizhen said, Yi Nan nodded slowly. Since he was a rebellious Western rebellion, Yi Nan's ministers and scholars, he was the best at fighting, both offensive and defense, and was also the most trusted by Yi Nan. He used the Luxe to Junji Mountain to defend Li Ke, which was indeed the best candidate, but now Luxe is in Jinshan. If he is transferred, what should the other side of Jinshan be there?

Yi Nan asked: "Now that the sudden loss of Jinshan has been stabilized and generously set up the situation. The situation is just right. If the sudden loss of Jinshan is disconnected at this time, what should the other side of Jinshan?"

The official Tizhen replied: "Khan must know that the most urgent task of our army is to repel Li Ke from Junji Mountain. Li Ke is the devastating disaster for me Xue Yantuo. The grandness is not a small problem. Khan can make Dumozhi replace Tulishi in Jinshan, and lead the remaining troops of Tieler to stabilize the current situation in Jinshan, and then transfer Tulishi back."

After hearing this, Yi Nan thought for a moment and knew that judging from the current situation, what Tai Zhendaguan said was the best and the only way.
