Chapter 492: Setting up a nest is a very hard thing
It was already the end of October, and the war near Taiyuan was still fierce. With 300,000 Turkic wolf cavalry and Liu Wuzhou's 100,000 troops, Taiyuan was surrounded like an iron barrel. Now the city is still in charge of Li Yuan's fourth son, Li Yuanji, and Changshi Chen Yinshou. Twenty miles south of Taiyuan City, Tang King Li Jiancheng led an army of 100,000 to station, supporting each other with Taiyuan City.
The weather had become colder, and the Turkic offensive became more and more fierce. Last time, Asuna Dujishi led hundreds of thousands of troops southward, trapping Yang Guang in Yanmen, but in the end he returned in vain and suffered heavy losses. After only two years, Asuna Dujishi made a comeback.
In fact, this is not because he is crazy and wary, nor is he sure of winning, but because he has to fight this battle.
Two years ago, Li Xian and Luo Shixin led more than 10,000 light cavalry into the northern part of the Fortress. The biggest achievement was not actually that it almost destroyed the territory of Ashina's go-to-hu, nor that it dug another nest on the shore of Qingniu Lake. But in the late autumn of that year, Li Xian and Luo Shixin led their troops to fire one after another on the grassland. It did not seem to have any great impact at that time, but in the spring of the next year, hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep of the Turks starved to death!
In addition, I walked on the grassland late in winter last year, and at the end of April, the northwest wind was still blowing, so people couldn't reach out. It was the time when spring was warm, but snow was still falling on the grassland!
A year of **, a year of natural disasters.
If you don’t find a way, it will be more than just a million animals to starve to death. I’m afraid that the problem of food and grass will not be solved this year. If you can’t live through winter on the grassland, you will be able to have a tragedy of people eating people! The large tribes are better, but those small tribes with only a few hundred or a thousand people can no longer find reserves for winter. As the Khan of the grassland, Asuna Dujishi knew that he was facing the most severe test in his life.
He asked the wizard to do rituals every day, begging Changshengtian to take back the punishment for the grassland people. However, Changshengtian seemed to be asleep and could not hear the wizards' prayers and begging all day long.
Not many Turkic people have starved to death in the past two years, but Asuna Dujishi knew that when this winter passed, countless Turkic corpses would be revealed after the snow melted next year!
In order to ease the crisis, he must fight this battle.
But he was not sure, so he refused to make a decision.
Fortunately, Li Yuan rebelled and entered Chang'an, which gave him a good reason and opportunity. Taiyuan has been well managed by Li Yuan in recent years. Although the people cannot be said to be rich, they will at least not starve to death. If they can take this opportunity to snatch all the land in Hexi, the herdsmen will have hope of surviving this winter.
The people of the Central Plains did not have many fat cattle and sheep, but their granaries had enough food for grassland people to eat for several lifetimes.
This time he went south, it was true that Ashinadujishi came to invade, but in a sense, he also came to save his life.
The two sides had been fighting for more than a month, but Ashinadujishi had not found a way to conquer Taiyuan. Liu Wu and Zhou army suffered great losses, but the city of Taiyuan was too strong, there were many defenders in the city, and there were countless stored grain and weapons and armor in the Jinyang Palace. The Tang army in Taiyuan City was not afraid of being trapped. On the contrary, the Turks went south with all their might. If they could not conquer Taiyuan, they would go hungry.
I thought I could take Taiyuan quickly and then the Turkic army rushed to Chang'an in one go. Even if I could not break the Chang'an City, it would not be difficult to force Li Yuan to ced a large area of territory. But it was blocked in Taiyuan for more than a month, which made Asuna Dujishi very annoyed.
During this period, Liu Wuzhou's men and women were sieging the city, and the losses were quite large, so Liu Wuzhou was not as active as he was at the beginning and no longer worked hard every day to siege the city.
The more Ashinadujishi thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and waved his hand to let everyone in the tent exit.
Although the weather has turned cold, it is not as cold as it makes people tremble. However, Ashinadujishi was wrapped in a thick felt blanket, and a stove had been lit in the big tent. Since he was defeated two years ago, his body has been getting worse day by day. But he knew that he must not fall down. His son was still young. If he fell down now, then he could imagine what his son would end in the future.
Everyone in the tent retreated, and Asuna Duojishi was stunned when he looked at the charcoal fire.
Suddenly, he started coughing violently, and he coughed violently until his body curled up. This way he looked even older.
Release his hand covering his mouth, and he quietly wiped the blood from his palm on the felt blanket.
"Come!"
Ashinadujishi's eyes were a little dark and unsightly. If he saw it himself, he would probably be frightened by this look, because there was no chance of life in this look.
"Go and call Ashina Eriver, I have something to tell him."
Asuna Dujishi gave an order, then leaned back. He felt that he had been exhausted in an instant, and Changshengtian seemed to be waving to him.
"I hope my decision is not wrong, and the glory of the Turks must not be left in my hands."
He sighed and tightened the felt blanket wrapped around his tightly.
...
...
“Is it delicious?”
Li Xian looked at Qing Yuan, whose mouth was stuffed, and asked. The latter couldn't open his mouth and could only nod her head with a red face. Her eating look really made her feel a little embarrassed. She subconsciously looked at Huang Luan beside her, but found that her sister, who was half a year older than her, was stuffed in her mouth.
Li Xian grilled a lamb leg that was almost turned golden, and he moved slowly but skillfully brushed the seasonings he had configured.
"Actually, the roast lamb legs are better than the front legs of the lamb."
Li Xian seemed to be still feeling sorry for the two front legs of the sheep that were snatched by Cheng Zhijie and Xiong Kuohai. The two guys snatched the best meat and baked it themselves, which was a waste of good things.
"Master..."
Huang Luan swallowed the flesh in her mouth with some difficulty, took a sip of water and asked, "It seems that I haven't seen General Qin for more than ten days?"
"I asked him to take three thousand cavalry northwest, go around in a circle and come back to meet us."
"Confusing the enemy?"
Qing Yuan looked at the empty plate in her hand and kept staring at the lamb legs in Li Xian's hand. In fact, it is not a big deal that she and Huang Luan had a bit of inelegance in their eating habits. She had been marching urgently for the past few days. She would eat a few bites of dry food when she was hungry and drink a few sips of cold water when she was thirsty. Even during the rest of Wuyang County, she had never had a few decent meals. Today, Li Xian was rarely interested in barbecue. How could they not be greedy?
Speaking of which, it seems that girls are more greedy than boys of the same age.
Li Xian picked up the wine pot and took a sip. He felt a fire burning directly into his stomach from his throat. The wine was bought in the village I passed by yesterday. The widow in the village lived with a little girl, but he learned the wine from his mother-in-law's winemaking skills thoroughly. The wine he brewed was tightened with the secret method of using the non-existent secret method. At least four kilograms were removed from ten kilograms, and the remaining wine tasted even more mellow. Even the wine that was newly brewed also tasted as thick as aged wine.
The bag of wine in Li Xian's wine bag is a wine bowl, which is less mellow and more violent. Speaking of which, if a beginner drinks this wine bowl, he is afraid that a bowl of wine will be drunk for a day and night.
The so-called wine head is the first wine used to make wine in grain.
The taste of this wine is a bit like the roasted knife brewed in Baoding Mansion in later generations. It is about 70 degrees. It feels like drinking it into your stomach and swallowing the fire.
"Qin Qiong is the most cautious and has excellent martial arts skills. It is most appropriate to send him to lead troops to confuse Dou Jiande's men. He will come back to meet in a few days, and he will have to march quickly at that time."
"I want it?"
Qing Yuan subconsciously opened her mouth wide. It seemed that she could no longer bear it after the continuous marching in the past two months.
Huang Luan pouted and said, "If you run like this, your butt will be broken."
As they were with Li Xian for longer and longer, the changes in their personalities became more and more obvious. When they followed Wenwen, their yin energy was completely different from now on. People say that they should look at each other with admiration if they don’t see each other for three days. This sentence is very suitable for them.
Li Xian smiled, and used a knife to peel off the right-baked lamb, put it on a small plate and said, "It seems that the hind legs of this roast lamb are right today. You can eat more."
"Why?"
"Where to eat, replenish it."
Li Xian said seriously: "Tomorrow I will catch a few pheasants for you, and I will specialize in roasting chicken butts."
Qingyuan and Huangluan's faces turned red at the same time, not knowing what to say.
"Master..."
Huang Luan is more straightforward than Qing Yuan, so she first broke out from her embarrassment and shyness. She pinched a piece of mutton and put it into her mouth, and asked while chewing: "We were walking all the way northwest, why did we suddenly turn to the southwest? We have been marching urgently for three days, and we don't know where we are going."
"You will know when you arrive."
Li Xian took a sip of wine, then wiped his hands with a soft cloth and said, "I won't say anything even if you are you before you arrive."
Huang Luan didn't care either and put the last piece of meat on the plate into her mouth.
"Not only are we curious, but the soldiers in the army are curious. Everyone thought that after burning Wuyang County, the army would turn east to block Dou Jiande's return. But they went west, wouldn't it be a pity to let Dou Jiande go like this?"
"It can't stop Dou Jiande."
Li Xian smiled and said, "The river channel is so long, and his heart is cruel enough."
I don’t understand this sentence, but Qingyuan and Huangluan both understand it.
Since Dou Jiande can leave Su Dingfang as an abandoned son in order to withdraw his troops, he can naturally leave all the soldiers as an abandoned son. He has the courage to return to Hebei and Mingzhou, even if he loses all the troops going south, he can accept it. The mountain is still there, are you still afraid of not burning firewood?
"Lord, can we go back to Juyezawa when we are?"
Qingyuan asked softly.
She asked while meticulously packing all the ingredients for the barbecue into a deer skin bag.
"At least three months"
Li Xian stood up and stretched his waist, sighing in his heart, building a nest is not easy. It is not easy for birds to build a nest on a tree branch, not to mention that the nest he wants to build is so big that it is a bit scary. A gust of wind in the bird's nest may fall down and fall to pieces. As long as the nest he wants to build is set up, he will not be afraid of earthquakes or earthquakes.
When Li Xian thought of this, he suddenly realized that he was really an indomitable guy.
Before you can win, you can defeat first.
I have arranged several retreat routes, but it seems that it is not enough. Why is it so hard to build a few nests?
However, if the retreat is not arranged, how can you walk forward with confidence and boldness?
