Chapter 869 Yicheng Restoration
It's dawn.
At this time, Chai Shao had been a prisoner for a night, but he was still lucky. At least the Xuanwu army did not massacre prisoners like Jie Li's army that had previously captured Dali.
The weather was very good in the morning, and the sky was clear and clear.
The air was filled with some bloody smell that was not washed away by the morning mist. Chai Shao was in a very embarrassing moment. He was still wearing the silk armor that he came to the city to attend the banquet yesterday. This was the habit of the nobles. When attending the banquet, he would not really wear inconvenient and uncomfortable iron armor. They all had exquisite silk armor that people made.
The silk armor is light and breathable, and the style is very bright, which is more majestic than the real armor.
However, this kind of silk armor looks good and does not have real defense functions.
At this time, Chai Shao's exquisite silk armor was covered with dust and blood, and there were even a few big footprints on his butt.
His hair was also scattered, and the exquisite jade hairpin was probably taken away by a soldier from Xuanwu Army as a spoil, and the horse spear and horizontal sword he brought with him were also searched.
At this time, he was completely immersed in deep self-blame and regret.
Why was he so careless? Even if he knew that Jie Li had captured Dingxiang and there was no Qin army within a few hundred miles, he should be more careful. He should not throw his army outside the city and enter the city alone.
Last night, the Qin army raided, and most of the generals and colludes were trapped in the city, afraid that no one would command the military camp, and they would not be able to defeat the raid.
Luo Siye deserves the reputation of the Liehu, and is a ruthless method.
I don't know how he captured the city of Italy, and it actually pretended to be so hidden that he did not find any doubt.
Soldiers are ashamed of failure.
As a son of the Guanlong general, Chai Shao could not accept such a failure.
If Luo Siye was defeated in a dignified manner on the battlefield, he would admit defeat. But the loss of this battle last night was too frustrating, and he had an army of 80,000.
He was still imprisoned in the county government. About a hundred officers who entered the city died when they resisted, and the rest surrendered later. In the middle of the night, hundreds of people were sent in from outside. When he saw that they were all officers left by Chai Shao in the military camp.
It was through their mouth that Chai Shao learned what happened outside after they entered the city.
It's dawn.
A group of prisoners lay down or leaned against each other, all looking depressed.
Frustrated.
depressed.
It took three months to arrive in Dingxiang from Longyou. Although Lingwu defeated Liang Shidu in the middle and forced Yun Dingxing to surrender in Jiuyuan, it was all a small battle.
Originally, they came to Dingxiang to fight Luo Cheng.
Unexpectedly, Luo Cheng had not seen the white tiger face, so he asked his brother Liehu Luo Siye to destroy it first.
Chai Shao didn't sleep all night, and gauze was still wrapped around his head.
This was when he insisted on resisting until the end, he was injured by a Qin army with a shield.
However, although his head was injured, he was still considering the impact of this defeat.
The emperor's father-in-law spared no personal reputation and entrusted the alliance to the Turkic Jie Li Khan, with the intention to destroy Luo Cheng, the strongest in the Central Plains, first, but now such a major strategic intention will be destroyed in his hands.
His defeat is not important, but it will block Jie Li's retreat.
Not to mention, if you lose 100,000 reinforcements at once, Jie Li may face greater pressure.
Even if Jie Li could defeat the Qin army, after Li Tang's defeat, he would have helped the alliance at all. How could he get any benefits after defeating the Qin army in the future?
"Chai Shao, come out of the line, the King of Jin wants to see you."
Chai Shao was taken to the gate tower of Dali City, where King Luo Siye of Jin stood on the city tower and looked out to the south.
He stood on the top of the city and looked out, but only saw the broken camp outside the city.
Yesterday, 80,000 Tang troops came to the city to camp for ten miles, how majestic.
But after just one night, even the camp was destroyed and the 80,000 troops were wiped out.
"Chai Shao, we're meeting again."
Siye turned around and looked at the embarrassed Chai Shao.
In comparison, the winner Luo Siye is full of energy and is extremely majestic in iron armor.
Chai Shao and Siye met. He used to join the Eastern Expedition. He was defeated by him in the Battle of Italy, and he was still so miserable. He was in a state of urgency and had nothing to say.
"You are Li Yuan's son-in-law, but as long as you are willing to join the Qin Dynasty, my emperor is all kind. Xuanba has always followed my emperor, and now he is named Duke of Tang and serves as the general of the imperial guards."
But Chai Shao just had a cold face and asked him to surrender to the person who hated him for his wife? It was impossible.
Until now, Chai Shao can't let go of Li Xiuning, and he can't forget this shame.
"General Chai seems to be a little dissatisfied?"
"You are just a trick."
"You are also a general, and you are familiar with military strategy. Why do you still say such words? Warriors are tricks. You use troops like water, and you have always been unconventional. The winner is the king, only looking at the result and not the process, right?"
But these words couldn't convince Chai Shao, and he was still dissatisfied with one hundred people.
"It seems that the general refused to surrender?"
Chai Shao had a cold face and refused to speak.
Siye smiled.
"Okay, since I refuse to surrender, I won't force myself. I can't force myself to hold my head if I don't drink water. So, I'll send you back to Chang'an, how about it?"
Chai Shao looked at Siye in confusion.
"What, I will never surrender, nor will I go back? Is the general determined to sacrifice his life to achieve his destiny?"
"What trick do you want to use?"
Siye smiled, "It's nothing. Li Yuan took my wife and children, I'll save them."
June in the second year of Kaiyuan, Qin.
Luo Siye first defeated Jie Li and left the Turkic army in Dali City, Dingxiang, and killed them all. Then he pretended to be the Turkic army in Dali City, ambushed the Tang army Chai Shao, defeated the Tang army, and captured his chief general Chai Shao, Shi Dana, and killed the general manager Chen Hua, Wang Changkai, and others, killing more than 8,000 enemies, capturing nearly 50,000 people, and the rest were all dispersed.
After this battle, Luo Siye stayed in Dali City for only three days.
Three days later, he sent 3,000 troops to escort 50,000 prisoners to the north and head for Fanyang, but he led the main force of Xuanwu Army to 30,000, and took Chai Shaoshi and Dana and others to the surrendered generals westward.
Go straight to Wuyuan County, Hetao.
A few days later, Jie Li Khan, who had just arrived at the city of Yunzhong County, learned about the Italian military situation.
After hearing that the 80,000 Tang troops were defeated, his 5,000 remaining troops were wiped out, and they were furious.
"Luo Siye ran away?"
"Even if he runs to the horizon, I will never let him go." Jie Li insisted on sending troops to pursue Luo Siye despite his subordinates' dissuasion. He ordered his confidant general Kang Sumi, "You lead 50,000 troops to pursue Luo Siye. Even if you chase him to the ends of the world, you must bring his head back for me!"
At this time, Princess Yicheng, who was with the army, took the opportunity to persuade Jie Li Khan, "In the past, the Khans of Qimin fought for the country, and relying on the Sui Dynasty to be restored, and their descendants had their own country. Now, rebellions in the Central Plains are everywhere, and they are not descendants of Emperor Wen of Sui. They should support the Yang family of the Sui Dynasty to repay the kindness of the Sui Dynasty, and the great Khan can also become famous."
"But Yang Guang's descendants were all lost in the chaos, and Emperor Wen had no descendants left behind." Jie Li also knew that if he could support a puppet of the Sui family and then head south under the banner of restoring the Sui Dynasty, he might encounter less resistance in the future.
"I sent someone to the Central Plains a few days ago and found my brother's good scriptures. I just took it over. The Khan could make him the Emperor of Sui, and set Dali City into his capital, so that he could gather Han people, recruit fleeing nobles and officials, etc., and raise the banner of the orthodox Sui family in the Central Plains again!"
At this time, after Luo Siye evacuated, only one empty city was left in Dali.
Jie Li thought about it and said that if Ke Dun's brother Yang Shanjing was allowed to be the King of Sui, he would have been able to establish a puppet Sui Dynasty. He sent troops south, and then he would use the name of the King of Sui to rule Taiyuan Hedong and other places captured, and would be even more famous.
