[Datang Shuanglong Biography] The Wolf of the Eastern Capital

The Turkic army occupied Fengqiu County to the north of the Yellow River, facing Daliang City across the river. Daliang City is located to the east of Xingyang, about a day's journey away, and about two days' journey from Luoyang.

"Originally, all the soldiers and horses of the Wagang Army were gathered in Daliang City for me, and I watched every move of the Turks." Tang Tian frowned. Good at it, Tang Tian hopes that the Eastern Turks will take the initiative to attack, so that he can seize the loopholes of the cavalry and attack them, but if the Turks don't move, Tang Tian will feel a toothache seeing the land occupied by the Turks, and he can't wait to treat the Turks as food in his mouth , bite into pieces.Tang Tian seemed to feel that the Anshi Rebellion was ahead of schedule. If he didn't win, then the Tiance Mansion would be disbanded, or even wiped out.Absolutely want to suppress the East Turks back.Let them dare not step into the Central Plains in the future.

There was a stalemate between the two sides on both sides of the Yellow River. Many people from the north of the Yellow River fled to the south of the Yellow River. In order to prevent the Turkic spies, Tang Tian specially transported [-] loads of grain from the Xingluo warehouse to the lower reaches of the Yellow River, east of Daliang City. Qi County, thousands of miles away, is used to resettle refugees, and notices have been posted in various towns, telling all refugees to go to Qi County. , and then let people spread the news of food distribution in Qi County in private, and naturally most of the refugees flocked to Qi County, where Tang Tian had already arranged soldiers to guard, and those who moved were secretly guarded, and those who refused to accept it were directly dealt with quietly. , At this time, people who are lagging behind must not want it.By the way, let people see if there are any people who can be used among these refugees, and take them for their own use. After all, what outsiders say is not as credible as what their own people say, and the people inside are also more aware of some small movements inside, so it is easier to find out the situation .

Of course, there are still some refugees who don't want to go to Qi County, some are too old to walk, some have relatives in Luoyang, Tang Tian gathered them together and sent them to Qi County, and some are from before. It is rich and powerful, and now there are few assets, so they want to set up a family and start a business around Luoyang.Tang Tian refused to accept them all. He wanted to set up his family and start a business before coming back after the war. If he refused to accept and caused trouble, he would be regarded as a rebellion. Of course, there were Turkic spies among them.

Tang Tian guarded the surrounding areas of Luoyang very tightly, and the influx of a large number of refugees did not cause any major disturbances. Just looking at the Turkic army on the other side of the Yellow River, they could not rush in when they fought, and they were aggrieved by guarding. There is a blister, and it hurts when you touch it.The pain is uncomfortable, and the discomfort is even more intense. After ten days and half a month, a fire has not subsided.If Shi Zhixuan hadn't given Tang Tian some pills to clear away heat and relieve fire, Tang Tian might have another row of fire bubbles.

"What are you in such a hurry for? Just guard your Luoyang City. The one who is anxious is Jieli. He has two wolves staring at his back now. If Luoyang is not captured soon, how can he turn around and deal with the wolves behind him?" Shi Zhixuan Putting a layer of cool ointment on Tang Tian's mouth, Tang Tian's face relaxed, "West Turk, which one is there?"

"The Khitan and Goryeo in the northeast, the two countries have been fighting against the East Turks together for the past few years. The leader of the East Turkic Cavalry who went south this time was not led by Jieli himself, but because he wanted to sit in the interior of the East Turks to prevent the West Turks and the Khitan Goryeo. The coalition forces are not good for Eastern Turks."

"Jieli alone can hold them down? Isn't the Turkic army in Fengqiu?"

"Hmph, they are all ambitious wolves. They are all waiting. Whether the Eastern Turkic army will cross the Yellow River, go straight to the Central Plains, or be beaten back to their hometown, neither the former nor the latter will do them any harm. As long as they After waiting for the results, we will decide whether to annex the territory of the Eastern Turks or the territory of the entire Central Plains."

"A bunch of bastards, I'm going to beat them up sooner or later." Tang Tian felt some itch on his lips and was about to stick out his tongue to lick them.

"Don't lick it, the ointment won't work if it's gone." Shi Zhixuan directly stretched out his hand to press Tang Tian's lips and tongue.

"This ointment can really make this pimple go away in two days?"

"If you're not so anxious to get angry, the bubble will go away."

"Help me think about how to cross the Yellow River and beat Jieli back to his hometown. Wouldn't I not get angry?" Tang Tian thought he was not sensitive enough to military and politics, but he had enough force. Let Shi Zhixuan think about it.

"I think the cavalry you have trained recently is not bad. You can try to let them fight each other. If they can exert their full strength on the battlefield, they should be able to compare with the Turkic cavalry."

"Really?" Tang Tian's eyes lit up.

"Well, I discussed with the casting master the feasibility of making armor from the saddle of the horse you mentioned earlier. Our horses are definitely not as good as the Turkic horses. You can try armor, but ordinary horses probably cannot bear such a heavy armor. The horses sent by the Pegasus Ranch are all good, but there are only a few hundred horses which are obviously not enough, it is best to buy some more."

"It's okay, just let Kou Zhong come forward and say it."

"I'm going to discuss with the caster about making the saddle." Shi Zhixuan got up and said.

Tang Tian looked at Shi Zhixuan's back, and suddenly thought, "You haven't said how to cross the Yellow River to fight Xieli!"

Shi Zhixuan turned his head and smiled meaningfully, "You just need to train the cavalry well, and others will naturally come to your door."

At first, Tang Tian thought that Shi Zhixuan was talking about waiting for the East Turks to lose patience, so they would naturally want to cross the Yellow River to attack Luoyang. Then it was Tang Tian's opportunity. The arrival of Li Jing made Tang Tian see another opportunity. , from Taiyuan to Chang'an is across the Yellow River, as long as he secretly borrows the territory of the Li Clan, he can sneak attack the Turkic army from the side, Shi Zhixuan also said that his Tiance cavalry is not as good as the Turkic cavalry.

"I don't like beating around the bush. Let's be honest, what's the matter with Li Shimin asking you to come?"

Li Jing's face turned ugly, but he still said, "His Royal Highness the King of Qin wishes to borrow five thousand dans of grain and grass from General Tang."

Tang Tian narrowed his eyes, "It is said that the Li family is not short of food."

"The Li Clan is not short of food, but His Royal Highness the King of Qin is short of food." Li Jing sighed and broke the jar, "The emperor is really partial. This is to remove obstacles for His Highness the Crown Prince."

Tang Tian didn't expect that Li Yuan would dare to cut off Li Shimin's food, even at the critical moment of the First Battle of Taiyuan, "Isn't he afraid that his hometown, Taiyuan, will be taken over by others?"

"It's not that easy. Liu Wuzhou just relied on the support of the Turks to seize the opportunity. The remaining army of the Li clan was handed over to the prince. The number of people is more than Liu Wuzhou's. In addition, Liu Wuzhou's loss in the battle with King Qin is inevitable. Not small, Li Yuan is probably thinking that King Qin lost Taiyuan and Li Jiancheng regained Taiyuan, this is not to build momentum for Li Jiancheng."

Li Jing said that he will not be called the emperor and the prince anymore, and he will call them by their first names directly. He is very disdainful of their actions, "I have never seen such a biased person, and he listened to slander. I think His Royal Highness King Qin is a master. .Sooner or later, you will make trouble."

Tang Tian raised his eyebrows, who is so prescient, Li Shimin will not commit crimes in the future, but he was also forced out like this.Li Yuan was too greedy for life and afraid of death, he would rather have a useless heir than an outstanding heir.

"Ahem, His Royal Highness King Qin said that the grain should be purchased from General Tang at the market price." From the way Tang Tian grabbed Li Jiancheng and Li Shiji and begged for money, he knew that this man loved money, but he didn't see how extravagant he was , mostly for military construction, that's why Li Shimin asked Li Jing to make a deal with Tang Tian.Tang Tian was by no means someone who would add insult to injury.

"Why should I sell grain to the enemy? I can sell it to Kou Zhong. That kid Kou Zhong has the treasures of Duke Yang's treasury." It's called transportation fee and storage fee, Kou Zhong also wanted to repay Tang Tian's favor, so he didn't care about how much Tang Tian deducted, anyway, the money in Kou Zhong's hands was enough for his young commander to eat and drink for a while.

"His Royal Highness King Qin is definitely not Luoyang's enemy. This General Tang can rest assured, and General Tang probably knows the current situation. Even if Li Jiancheng takes Taiyuan in a counterattack, he is not good at defending the city. Only His Highness King Qin can help General Tang on the front line of Taiyuan. The Eastern Turks exerted pressure, and defended Chang'an to resist the attacks of the Western Turks."

Tang Tian reached out his hand and touched the corner of his mouth, the blisters there had disappeared, but there was still a small scar, Shi Zhixuan said that it would be fine if it fell off naturally in two days.

Li Jing's words are correct. It is better to cooperate with Li Shimin than to cooperate with Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan's Li Clan. At least Li Shimin has enough perspective.

"Li Shimin can't control the entire Li Clan."

"The actions of Li Yuan this time have already hurt His Highness King Qin's heart. As long as Taiyuan is guarded, His Highness King Qin will go one step further."

"let me consider it."

"General Tang waits for no one. The food and grass in Taiyuan can only last for less than ten days." Li Jing showed an anxious expression.

"I'll give you an answer tomorrow." Tang Tian said, he had actually made up his mind, but he was always a bit unwilling to help Li Shimin, and asked him to imagine the conditions first.

But Tang Tian didn't think about the conditions, Kou Zhong came, followed by Li Xiuning.Seeing this combination, Tang Tian knew that Li Shimin didn't put all the chips on him, and asked Kou Zhong for help.

"I asked Kou Zhong for help at my own discretion. General Tang, please don't take offense. My second brother is indeed cooperating with General Tang sincerely." Li Xiuning spoke for his brother as soon as he opened his mouth.

Tang Tian looked at Kou Zhong, "Are you a hero and a beauty pass?"

"Brother Tang, don't talk nonsense. I have already made it clear to Ms. Li that I only helped her because I am a Han Chinese. I don't want Turkic people to show off their power in my Han land. Now only Brother Tang and Li Xiaozi can do it together." Turkic momentum, of course, I will also support the inside, food, weapons, I can lend you some." Kou Zhong quickly retorted.

Tang Tian caught sight of Li Xiuning's face suddenly turning embarrassing and then normal again, but he couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes.Li Xiuning definitely has feelings for Kou Zhong, but she and Chai Shao already have a marriage contract, and the Chai family is powerful enough, she is unable to regret the marriage, so naturally she cannot be with Kou Zhong.

"I've already told Li Jing that I'll give him an answer tomorrow, and Ms. Li will follow me and wait for tomorrow. Kou Zhong, come, I have something to ask you." Tang Tian ignored Li Xiuning's reaction and pulled Kou Zhong away.

"Tell me, what did you do with Xu Ziling in Xuchangdu?"
