"Your Majesty, I have another plan. We can unite with the Great Zhou Dynasty. As far as I know, 2/3 of the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty is grassland;
These grassland territories were all occupied by the Turks. Liaodong City, the only military city connected between the Great Zhou Dynasty and our Sui Dynasty, was also defeated by the Turks not long ago;
Although some of this is due to the queen, the Zhou Dynasty also hates the Turks. We might as well join forces with them to deal with the Turks. "
Wang Xiaojie's 20,000 troops were originally responsible for guarding Liaodong City. After these 20,000 troops were brought into the Sui Dynasty, there were only a few hundred old, weak, sick and disabled people left in Liaodong City.
No matter how it could withstand the Turkic attack, with the capture of Liaodong City, the connection between the Great Zhou and the Great Sui was completely severed.
Yang Qiu said with some uncertainty.
"As far as I know, Emperor Wu Zhi of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not an independent emperor. He had always advocated for peace with the Turks. How could he agree to attack the Turks together with us?
If it was the Great Zhou Dynasty of Emperor Wu of Zhou, it might still be possible, but it is unlikely now. "
"Your Majesty does not know that the current prime minister of the Zhou Dynasty is Di Renjie. This person is quite involved in both domestic affairs and military matters, and his situation is relatively large.
At the same time, they were also quite influential in the court. The Di family could be said to have a high position of power in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Di Renjie served as prime minister, and his younger brother Di Qing served as General Huwei of the Great Zhou Dynasty;
There are three powerful men in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The first one is Di Qing, who is said to be a mid-level Xiantian warrior. The second one is An Lushan, who has the peak realm of a first-class warrior and controls the 100,000 border troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty;
The third one is Pan Feng. His sister Pan Jinlian is the most favored concubine of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Pan Feng's own strength is not very strong. She is only an early stage third-grade warrior, but she controls the most elite members of the Great Zhou Dynasty. cavalry;
Responsible for resisting the Turks. If we want to unite the Zhou Dynasty, we can only start with Di Renjie. The Turks have currently occupied 2/3 of the territory of the Zhou Dynasty. As far as I know, the original ancestral home of the Di family is here 2/ 3 on the grassland land;
At that time, the Di tribe had more than 30,000 people, but they were killed by the Turks, leaving only about a hundred people. Therefore, the Di tribe hated the Turks very much. Now the generals of the Zhou Dynasty are divided into two factions, one of which is headed by An Lushan. , the other faction is headed by the mighty general Di Qing;
As far as I know, An Lushan seems to be a member of the empress in private, but the ministers judged that this man was ambitious and definitely not a loyal and patriotic master. If the Di family hadn't suppressed him, he would have turned against him. "
After Yang Qiu heard Xiao He's inference, he couldn't help but admire it.
Then he spoke again.
"Let the Prime Minister be responsible for this matter. If we can convince Da Zhou, it will be a good thing for us."
Far away on the other side, outside the Baima Pass, was the Turkic Grand Marshal Ashina Helu who was in charge of the attack this time.
We were eating roasted leg of lamb and drinking kumiss in the tent.
"This Sui Dynasty is just at the end of its war effort. It will definitely not dare to come out and confront us head-on. This time, while they are dog-eat-dog, we must tear off a piece of their flesh."
Ashina Helu said while eating the roasted lamb leg in his hand.
At this time, Shi Siming, the Turkic general next to him, spoke.
"Marshal, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty is not an ordinary person. Li Yuan has fought with us for so many years and still stabilized Mount Tai, but in the end he suffered a defeat at the hands of this emperor;
We had no choice but to go to the Song Dynasty. If it was just an ordinary army, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough to make Li Yuan do this. We still have to keep some vigilance. "
After Shi Siming finished speaking, Ashina Helu thought for a moment and then said.
"You are right. There is an old saying in China that is very good. A proud soldier will be defeated. We must be more cautious. Shi Siming, you will be responsible for the transportation of grain and grass to the rear;
If they want to defeat us, they can only cut off our food and grass. As long as we maintain normal transportation of food and grass, they can only watch helplessly as we plunder their cities;
This White Horse Pass was built by Li Yuan and is very difficult to attack, but we can leave one army and horse here and send other soldiers and horses to attack other cities;
As long as these Sui troops dare to leave the city, they will all be killed and there will be no return. "
Shi Siming was a little unhappy when he heard that he was actually arranged to transport grain and grass to the rear, but he did not show it.
Although it is safe to transport grain and grass from the rear, if no enemy troops come to rob the grain, there will be no heads to exchange for military merit, so he basically has no merit to gain this time.
In fact, there are also conflicts of interest among the major tribes within the Turks. When they encounter foreign enemies, although they are unanimous in dealing with the outside world, they refuse to give in when dividing their internal interests.
Ashina Helu then spoke again.
"Agillock, you lead 40,000 cavalry, responsible for attacking Zhulu County, Pingping Amoqi, you lead 20,000 cavalry, responsible for guarding these Sui Dynasty troops here;
The remaining people follow me to attack Dayun City. As long as Dayun City is captured, we can attack Youzhou City first and capture the troops in Baima Pass in Youzhou City, leaving them alone and helpless;
Baima Pass will also become an isolated city. At that time, we will fight all the way to Chang'an in the long drive. Maybe we can scare the Sui Emperor like the Emperor of Song and lose half of his country. "
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
