Chapter 158 Each has its own abacus
Changsun Wuji was shocked by Li Shimin's bold idea.
Using Yuan Junzhang as a trick to trick the Eastern Turks into opening their defenses, and then deal a severe blow to the Eastern Turks!
This method is really unexpected, Yuan Junzhang is a capricious villain, as long as this bitter trick is used well, the East Turkic side will most likely not suspect it.
As long as Yuan Junzhang brought his old troops over there, the Eastern Turks, who were so lacking in vitality, would have to accept Yuan Junzhang even if they considered carefully.
The Eastern Turks are so short of troops, what if they don't accept them.
In this way, as long as Yuan Junzhang's army entered the interior of the East Turks, they could launch an attack suddenly.
Li Shimin prepares another cavalry, advances lightly, and joins Yuan Junzhang, who will be able to defeat the unprepared East Turks.
The best thing about this method is that even if this method is seen through, Li Shimin doesn't have much loss.
Yuan Junzhang was a villain in the first place, and Li Shimin never wanted to see Yuan Junzhang. If Yuan Junzhang died in battle because of this, Li Shimin didn't care at all.
Moreover, Li Shimin was not very afraid that Yuan Junzhang would really surrender.
Now the comparison of the military strength of the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, even a fool can see that the Tang Dynasty will win. If Yuan Junzhang surrenders to the Turks at this juncture, he is really crazy!
Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji discussed the details before implementing the plan.
Soon, the imperial court issued an imperial edict.
"The governor of Anzhou, Yuan Junzhang, has neglected his duties and is not good in governing Anzhou. He is punished and sent to the border to guard the border!"
This edict did not attract the attention of officials in the government and the opposition.
Because Yuan Junzhang is a villain, he has no friendship with every official in the court. Of course, these officials hate the capricious Yuan Junzhang very much.
Therefore, when Yuan Junzhang was demoted, they only felt that they deserved it, and they had no other thoughts.
And Yuan Junzhang received Li Shimin's personal edict.
He told Yuan Junzhang all about his bitter plan.
Yuan Junzhang was speechless for a while.
This Majesty really will seize the opportunity.
He, Yuan Junzhang, sent a letter just to show his loyalty. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin was going to let him, Yuan Junzhang, use his remaining heat to fight against the Turks.
Yuan Junzhang had already prepared to live in Anzhou until his death, but he did not expect to be assigned such a task.
But Yuan Junzhang had no choice.
How can a person not bow his head under the eaves.
Now everyone can see that the national power of the Tang Dynasty is booming, and the defeat of the Eastern Turks is only a matter of time. No matter how poor his vision is, Yuan Junzhang knows that surrendering to the Turks will be over sooner or later.
There is no other way, I still have to follow the order to finish this bitter trick.
Fortunately, His Majesty Li Shimin is a person who distinguishes rewards and punishments. After this battle is over, Li Shimin should reward Yuan Junzhang with something, and it will not be a loss at that time.
Yuan Junzhang pretended to write a letter to criticize himself, and then rolled to the border between Datang and Turkic in desperation, bringing his [-] old troops with him.
This old army has been with Yuan Junzhang for many years. Although Li Shimin has mixed sand into the organization, the main force is still the people Yuan Junzhang is familiar with.
Therefore, within a few days, Yuan Junzhang took full control of this army, and then contacted the Eastern Turkic Khan, saying that he would bring these 1 people to surrender to the Eastern Turkic.
The Eastern Turkic Khan did not expect things to go so smoothly.
In fact, they were just trying to test it out, and they didn't expect Yuan Junzhang to really rebel.
It's just that the Eastern Turkic Khan is already extremely short of troops, and if there is more hope, the Eastern Turkic Khan will not let go of the opportunity.
But who knows, at this time, Li Shimin actually punished Yuan Junzhang, demoted Yuan Junzhang's position, and handed over the old army to Yuan Junzhang.
The spies in Datang continuously gathered all these information to East Turkic Khan.
East Turkic Khan is also a cautious person, and discussed with his subordinates many times to judge whether to accept Yuan Junzhang's surrender.
The final decision was to accept Yuan Junzhang's surrender.
Even if it might be a trap, they had to try to step on it.
After all, the Eastern Turks are seriously short of soldiers now.
There are many unconvinced countries around East Turks. Now that spring has begun and the heavy snow has melted, these countries are all ready to look for opportunities to fight East Turks.
The East Turkic Khan also had no choice.
When welcoming Yuan Junzhang this time, just be careful.
Li Shimin and East Turkic Khan each have their own plans.
Of course, Li Shimin is superior in skills, and the Eastern Turkic Khan has basically fallen into Li Shimin's calculations.
Yuan Junzhang also felt that he was going on a routine this time, to fight a battle, come back to get some rewards, and then live his retirement life.
But no one expected it.
Between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, there is another country.
Li Hao's Taoyuan Kingdom!
Spies were placed on both sides of the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, and Cao Chun, who knew the news from both sides, had just bared his fangs at this time.
The information Cao Chun received was that Yuan Junzhang might surrender to the Eastern Turks.
As for Li Shimin's plan, Cao Chun's intelligence capabilities are not that terrifying.
But that's enough.
Cao Chun didn't even bother to ask whether Yuan Junzhang was a fraudulent surrender.
Now he can mobilize an army of [-] at any time. With such a strong force, no matter whether you pretend to surrender or not, you will directly surround it, and even the troops of Yuan Junzhang and Turkic Khan will be taken away.
All were pulled to Taoyuan Country to increase the population.
Cao Chun immediately ordered [-] tiger and leopard cavalry, [-] Tang officers and soldiers, and [-] Turkic cavalry to dispatch!
A total of one hundred thousand soldiers and horses rushed towards the intersection of the Turkic and Datang borders.
That's where Yuan Junzhang and East Turkic Khan met.
Cao Chun wanted to go there first and lay an ambush there.
At this time, Yuan Junzhang was on his way to East Turkic.
Yuan Junzhang's tens of thousands of troops are all veterans of hundreds of battles.
At this time, they marched to the meeting place in a strict and orderly manner, very imposing.
Yuan Junzhang was wearing armor and riding a horse in front, with a very serious expression.
The risk of this bitter plan is still very high.
Although Yuan Junzhang has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, it is impossible for the Turkic Khan to be unprepared.
It is estimated that the Turkic Khan will also bring thousands of cavalry for defense.
The Turkic cavalry is the best in the world, and only the best cavalry in the Tang Dynasty can compare with the Turkic cavalry.
When the time comes to fight, even if he, Yuan Junzhang, makes a sneak attack, he may not be sure of victory.
Fortunately, a [-]-strong Tang cavalry followed behind.
As long as it can last until that time, it will be able to break through the Turkic defense line in one fell swoop.
As the sun slowly set, Yuan Junzhang finally arrived at the meeting place with his army.
On the endless plain, Yuan Junzhang could see densely packed troops from a distance. This place was already within the Turkic border, and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty would not usually come here.
There is no danger to defend here, but because the Turkic cavalry is extremely brave, if the Tang army fights the Turkic cavalry here, it will suffer heavy losses. Therefore, Li Shimin asked Yuan Junzhang to use bitter tricks here to attack the Turkic cavalry.
After that, you can drive straight in and crush several Turkic tribes.
Yuan Junzhang ordered his army to move forward slowly.
Everyone must be ready for battle.
