In August of the ninth year of Wude, Chai Shao defeated the Turkic in Qinzhou, killed one Turkic Telle, and returned triumphantly. Ten days later, he turned to Shuofang, and the Turkic coalition forces in the capital of the Liang army were outside. In the sixth month, Wang Junguo pacified Lujiang King Li Yuan rebelled and most of the soldiers were sent to quell the rebellion, and the remaining soldiers were less than 10,000...
As Chai Zhewei said, the Teller that Chai Shao killed in Qinzhou was a relative of Duo Khan. Moreover, since the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world has been in chaos and heroes have been in power. The strength of the Turks has been unprecedentedly strengthened. All the princes of the Central Plains had to surrender to the Turks and pay tribute to the Turks. Even when Li Yuan first launched an army, he had to go to the Turks from the situation. In other words, as long as the Central Plains is war-torn, the Turks will have countless benefits. Therefore, the Turks dare not and cannot let the Tang Dynasty dominate itself.
Unfortunately, whether it was disturbing the people below or supporting other forces such as Liang Shidu and others to confront Tang, the ending ended in failure. This time, taking advantage of Li Shimin's initial ascension to the throne and not firmly gaining a foothold, his son and nephew died in Qinzhou. Duru Khan led 100,000 troops to gather with Ashinashboru Khan's 100,000 elite troops to go straight to Chang'an.
The Turkic army was all cavalry, and the city wall was tall and unfavorable to attack. So they simply went straight to the village outside the city. Most of the defenders in the city were infantry, so it was okay to defend the city. If they opened the door and went to fight, they would be killed by the Turks like chopping melons and vegetables. If they did not go to the battle, they would be killed in the village, with corpses everywhere and bleeding and drifting. This dilemma made the guards very powerless and had to report them one by one to the desk of Li Shimin of the East Palace.
In the Eastern Palace, Li Shimin was frowning with the battle reports. The Turkic army attacked Jingzhou. In addition to the tall city walls and the inconvenience of cavalry to attack the city, all the towns were killed by the Turkic army. The refugees had already arrived outside Chang'an City. However, there were no soldiers in Chang'an, and the surrounding areas were in urgent need. The problem was how to avoid the great shame of the enemy's attack on the capital.
Li Shimin read all the battle reports one by one and handed them to the next. The eunuch read: "On August 13, 2018, Wude, the Turkic Khan led 100,000 cavalry to Jingyang, and siege the city without attacking. He slaughtered all eleven villages outside the city, and there was no age or young, and there were nearly 8,000 people killed or injured. The corpses were everywhere. No one restrained them, and the stench was scattered for less than half a day, and the crows did not disperse."
"On August 15, 200,000 Turkic troops attacked Wugong City. They drove the people from nearby villages to attack the city. Wugong guarded Song Chuang and refused thousands of people outside the city, causing the Turks to kill more than 3,000 people. Later, they escaped and disappeared. Yao Qianliang, the governor of Wugong County, personally led the defenders to pick up the people into the city. At the same time, they resisted the enemy outside the city. Thousands of defenders were killed, and 70% of the rest were injured. They defended the city."
"On August 23, 2018, the vanguard of the Turks arrived in Gaoling, and the Gaoling defenders were less than 500. Please send troops to rescue him."
...
After reading several battle reports in a row, they were defeated in addition to defeat, which made these elites of the Tang Dynasty feel very heartbroken. Li Shimin looked around at the court officials and asked heavily: "Dear friends, do you understand? The Turks have come to the door! Who knows how far Gaoling and Chang'an are together? Only sixty miles away! Today you can still talk to me in this hall, but you can't say that the wine glass of the hall will be opened tomorrow and the Turks will dismantle the barbecue!" Li Shimin said quite declining. A kind of sadness and silence became more and more intense in the entire hall.
"Your Majesty, since there have been about 3 million dan of grain in Chang'an City in recent years, only 1.2 million dan of money and silk, and 8,000 soldiers in the palace..." Fang Xuanling counted the existing amount of materials in Chang'an City one by one.
As soon as Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Changsun Wuji continued, "Recently, there are about 100,000 refugees who have been wandering to Chang'an, and I believe the number of these people will increase."
There were insufficient soldiers, insufficient money, insufficient food, and more and more refugees. Obviously, it was not a good sign. Before everyone could react, Gao Shilian said heavyly: "The attack of the Turkic army can no longer be concealed. The entire Chang'an City was panicked. Please make a decision early!"
When Li Shimin heard this, he became angry and shouted angrily: "I make a decision! What's the use of my decision? I don't want to listen to numbers, you..." Li Shimin pointed a circle on the ministers one by one with his fingers and continued, "You make a decision for me now!"
Li Shimin was really anxious. The sixty-mile road was not enough to reach the speed of the cavalry in one day. At that time, the troops were at the city. How could Li Shimin, the newly ascended emperor, face the old and young nation? Moreover, the reason for the Turks' rebellion was that they did not recognize Li Shimin's position as emperor. What should I do if Li Shimin, who had killed Li Jiancheng, ascended the throne? Once the Turks really attacked the city of Chang'an, Li Shimin would definitely not be able to sit on the dragon throne.
People say that Fang Shun Duan, and Fang Xuanling had already started to think about it among these ministers. Fang Xuanling went out to the crowd and bowed to Li Shimin, saying, "Your Majesty, I believe that the first thing to do is to calm the hearts of the people! Now the people in Chang'an are in panic. He also asked Your Majesty to order the city gates to blockade and not allow the people to enter and exit. At the same time, open a warehouse to stabilize the refugees. Once the refugees are full, they will naturally not wander around, disrupting the order of the Chang'an city. At the same time, they sent General Deli to lead the Chang'an Prefecture soldiers and prisoners to attack and delay the Turkic army, and then ask the generals outside to help the king."
Fang Xuanling quickly finished his thoughts and retreated back to his position. Li Shimin sat on the chair and tapped the armrest gently, silently. At this moment, there was nothing else except what Fang Xuanling said. With the idea of giving it a try, Li Shimin looked at other ministers again.
"I believe that Lord Fang's idea is feasible. If you send someone to ask for troops from outside generals today, the army that serves the king in just five or six days can reach the city of Chang'an. Once the city of Chang'an is stable, most soldiers can naturally reduce the order. In this way, you can send the generals to the Turkic army for five or six days." Du Ruhui answered with a voice when he saw Li Shimin's eyes.
"I am willing to lead the troops to fight!" Yuchi Jingde, who had been silent for a while, suddenly knelt down on one knee, saluted Li Shimin, and expressed his support for Fang Xuanling's plan with his own actions.
Li Shimin stood up from his chair and looked around the ministers. After a long time, he said unwillingly: "So, let's do it. From now on, block the city of Chang'an, and no entry or exit are allowed. Those who force out of the city without any intention will be killed! Open the official warehouse and set up a porridge shop to comfort the refugees in the city. Yuchi Jingde was the general manager of the Jingzhou Road Army and led 7,000 Chang'an troops. Prisoners from all over Chang'an were organized into the government troops. They delayed the Turks' going south. The personal soldiers of Chang'an government followed Qianniu Guards to inspect the city defense. Those who were slandering the evil words should be killed! Those who took the opportunity to cause trouble should be killed! Those who raised prices should be killed!"
"I will obey the order!" As Li Shimin finished speaking with three powerful words of killing, the elites of the Tang Dynasty immediately took action. Li Shimin was left alone in the East Palace to sigh.
"Your Majesty, Cheng Gan and Qingque are still in the Heavenly Immortal Palace. Is it..." At some point, Empress Changsun came over and bowed to Li Shimin and said slowly.
Li Shimin looked away in a daze, gently hugged Empress Changsun's shoulder, and sighed, "I know. But I also know. The Tianxian Palace is eighteen miles away from Chang'an City and less than twenty miles away from the Wei River. Once the Turkic army attacked the Tianxian Palace, the position of the Tianxian Palace is the first to be affected. I want these ministers to work hard, because their descendants are also in the Tianxian Palace. If the Turkic River cannot be stopped from crossing the Wei River, then the Tianxian Palace will be burned. Cheng Gan and the others will not come back, and the descendants of these ministers will not come back. In this way, they will work harder!" Li Shimin's confused eyes were a little more sinister.
The soldiers in Chang'an City were soon pulled away by Yuchi Jingde, and then looted all the prisoners in Chang'an prison, distributed weapons, and the horses headed straight for Jingyang. Although the Turkic army had left Jingyang, Jingyang City had not been broken and the food was enough for tens of thousands of people to use. More importantly, Jingyang was a must-pass place for the transportation of food and grass for the 200,000 Turkic army. Once Jingyang was pinched, the Turkic army would definitely return to the rescue, and it would be easy to delay it for a few days.
Yuchi Jingde was not a fool who was full of people but also murdered people. The army less than 10,000 people was full of horse troops, and there was no need to carry food and grass. Naturally, the march was extremely fast, avoiding the main force of the Turks. He galloped directly towards Jingyang, and the Turkic supply team he encountered on the way was burned and killed. After several times, there were tens of thousands of Turkic troops hanging from behind the Tang army as their tails.
As a nomadic people on the grassland, the food and grass were actually the old and weak in the tribe who drove cattle and sheep and followed the army. The army led by Yuchi Jingde was one of the elites of the Tang Dynasty. As for those prisoners, they were all showing off their ruthlessness. Moreover, they had already promised that after this battle, they would all be cut in one stroke, and they would not be investigated. They would naturally not be ruthless in killing the Turks one by one. But such killings always have fish that escaped. Once someone escaped, the more Xiongnu people chasing him, the lower the pressure in Chang'an direction was sure.
Under Jingyang City, Yuchi Jingde's army had been resting for two hours, and the soldiers had recovered and quietly waited for the arrival of the Turks. Not long after, a black line on the distant horizon was approaching from a distance and rushed towards him.
"Beat the drum and get on the horse!" Yuchi Jingde shouted loudly.
"Press up the spear! The arrow formation, rush!" The sound of horse hooves and the rumbling war drums submerged the more than a thousand Turkic troops coming to pursue.
In fact, it was also because the Turkic army was too careless. The army pursued several waves was different from each other and was greedy for me and advanced rashly, and was defeated by nearly 10 to 1. Naturally, it was a big defeat. In this battle, Yuchi Jingde captured the Turkic Ashinade alive and killed more than a thousand enemies. It was a coincidence that this Ashinade Wuchu was the brother of the Turkic envoy who had been sewn when Li Shimin ascended the throne. Naturally, Yuchi Jingde had to tease him for a while. However, the tens of thousands of Turkic troops that followed had to temporarily retreat to Jingyang City.
