318、Inside and outside together

When Jing Wen brought the avenge army to the bottom of Dingxiang City, someone came immediately. They were Duan Ye's commander from Zhechong Prefecture, Xinzhou, and the envoy to the Turks who succeeded Jing Wen. The envoy to the Turks seemed to have received news long ago that the Tang Dynasty and the Turks were going to go to war, so they withdrew in time. The Duan Ye's commander came to help, thinking that the Tang Dynasty was going to attack the Turks, and Xinzhou was the front line here and should be able to obtain some help from intelligence information.

Jing Wen still had an impression of Duan Ye. That is, Duan Ye was originally fighting against the enemy one-on-one on the battlefield, but secretly put a hidden weapon. Such a sinister and cunning general is hard to guard against! The new envoy to the Turks was a man named Qiao Shiwang. Jing Wen did not have much impression of this person in his twenties. However, since he was his successor at the time, Jing Wen still had a relationship with him.

"Jingwen Jiedu, it's been a long time since I was gone!" Qiao Shiwang said first.

Jing Wen also took the initiative to salute and said, "Master Qiao, it would be great if you came out in time. If the Turks do anything to you, then we may have a great sin."

Qiao Shiwang said confidently: "The Turks cannot trap me. When I was the envoy to the Turks, I took the opportunity to send the emperor's enthronement to Xue Yantuo behind the Turks. This time, the Tang Dynasty's northern expedition to the Turks, Xue Yantuo will restrain the Turks behind it."

"Oh, I really didn't expect you to be a master of underground work!" Jing Wen said in surprise.

Jing Wen did not expect that this unpretentious Qiao Shiwang was actually a master of secret work. He helped the Tang Dynasty unconsciously bring an important military ally and could restrain a large number of Turkic troops. Jing Wen finally knew why the emperor asked Qiao Shiwang to take over his post at that time. It turned out that it was because Emperor Li Shimin had long had the idea of ​​attacking the Turkic Northern Expedition, so he asked Qiao Shiwang to come and collect information! No wonder, many people said that in every war, there were many invisible heroes fighting. It turned out to be these people!

Soon, everyone started to hold a military meeting, and Duan Ye and Qiao Shiwang also came to attend the meeting together.

"What are you doing to defeat the enemy?" Jing Wen asked first.

"Simple, just use missiles to blow up a big gap on the city wall. Then I will take Mo Daojian and kill in!" Jiang Xiong said directly.

Everyone was speechless. Jiang Xiong was indeed powerful and everything was solved with brute force. However, this idea was good. He directly used missiles to blow up a gap, and the next 40,000 troops rushed in, and the Turks would not be able to stop it. Once they entered the city and carried out street fighting, it would be a patent for infantry, and Turkic cavalry was not very useful. Although this was the roughest, it was also the best way to siege the current conditions.

However, as the director of the Military Affairs Office, Feng Yong, who assumed the duties of Chief of Staff, took the initiative to say: "No! This plan does not work! Although it is not difficult for us to attack the city, our main goal is to capture Jie Li Khan of the Turks. If the old boy is allowed to run away, then it will be meaningless for us to attack the city. Although we directly use missiles to bomb, it is impossible for us to send all 40,000 troops into the city wall at once, so we may not be able to stop the old boy Jie Li from running away. Once the old boy runs away, at least 90,000 of our credit will be removed. Therefore, this plan is not very rigorous!"

After hearing this plan, everyone realized that it was important to capture Jie Li, the Khan, and siege the city was the second.

"Can I say a few words?" Qiao Shiwang said.

"Speak! Here, you can speak freely. You can say whatever you want!" Jing Wen said.

Qiao Shiwang said, "Actually, you have ignored Dingxiang City, and another force can be fought for!"

"Oh? Who?" everyone asked.

Qiao Shiwang explained: "According to my observation over the past year, the Sui Dynasty officials who came to Dingxiang City with Emperor Xiao of Sui Dynasty, actually did not want to fight. They were eager to surrender to the Tang Dynasty and then become officials in the new court again. Even Empress Xiao did not want to fight because Empress Xiao was already fighting at an age and had no ambitions. He just wanted to live a peaceful life in the second half of his life. But they were all kidnapped by the Turks and Princess Yicheng. If they could send capable generals, they would bring Jingwen Jiedu.

If you send me a letter to find Empress Xiao, you might be able to strike them back. The possibility of success is more than 70%, which is my experience of observation. Although these forces in Empress Xiao’s hands are nothing to the Turks, once we face our siege, this force strikes the Turks in the back, it will probably be dead. At that time, they can take people to capture Jie Li, and we can take the opportunity to cover the city and create chaos. The possibility of catching Jie Li will be much greater."

"What a plan to attack inside and outside, and to cooperate with the inside and outside!" Feng Yong said excitedly.

Everyone recognized Qiao Shiwang's plan because it was very good. Because if you were attacking the frontal enemy and were hit by your own people, this would be more harmful than the frontal enemy. If you could help the city after your death, then it would be very likely to capture Jie Li. At that time, the first contribution to the Northern Expedition to the Turks would be the avenge army. Everyone seemed to see the contribution was right in front of them, and they were so excited.

"But who is willing to go? The current Dingxiang City is so nervous that the Turks are simply a tiger's den! Who is willing to take the risk in to contact Queen Xiao? Moreover, we must have a certain ability to adapt, because we are not very clear about what Queen Xiao will think. All of this is our guess. If we don't deal with it well, there may be problems." Jing Wen said.

Qiao Shiwang immediately stood up and said, "I am willing to go! I have been an envoy for more than a year. I know Queen Xiao's inner thoughts very well, so I am willing to go."

"Shi Wang Qiao, haven't you just come out?" Jing Wen asked.

Qiao Shiwang also said: "I am not satisfied with everyone. I have a relationship with Princess Luling, but the emperor sent me to the Turks to collect information. The emperor said that only when the Turks perished can I marry Princess Luling. Therefore, I hope that the Turks will perish as soon as possible."

Jing Wen immediately bowed and said, "Oh, I really didn't expect that there would be a future prince consort here, who is also the emperor's brother-in-law! Congratulations, I'm afraid you will be able to marry the princess next year!"

At this time, Duan Ye also took the initiative to say: "I was a thief from a thief. I joined the army in the past. Later, I was exiled for a crime and achieved what I am now. However, now I am employed and I am very good at doing this kind of work of flying over the eaves and walls. I am willing to protect Mr. Qiao Shiwang from entering!"

"With the protection of Duan Duan, I am more confident!" Qiao Shiwang also said.
