Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

It is impossible for the Western Turks not to pay attention to such a big event as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty's Western Tour. Even if he doesn't know about it, the countries in the Western Regions that rely on him will report it to him.

Therefore, as early as when the Tang Emperor was still stationed in Liangzhou and had not yet arrived in Dunhuang, the Western Turkic Khan Shi Dianmi gathered most of his armed forces to leave the Yingsu River where his Khan Court was located, and went east to settle in Gaochang, northeast of Gaochang. It is located in the city of Khan Futu in Yiwu, so as to have a glimpse of the Tang army's movements in Hexi.

However, before Shidianmi Khan could wait for changes to occur in Hexi, an urgent military situation suddenly came from the direction of Jinshan in the north. The Turkic army from the east actually crossed Jinshan together with the Tang army division brigade and directly attacked the Xue Yantuo tribes living at the western foot of Jinshan.

After learning the news, Shi Dianmi Khan was shocked and couldn't help shouting angrily: "Zhaitu, a bastard, betrayed his ancestors and people, which is already a serious crime. Now with the support of Tang State, You dare to attack our department, you deserve to be damned!"

The rise of the Turks only lasted for more than ten years. Before that, it had always been just a tribe under Rouran, so the size of the tribe itself was not large. One of the most important opportunities for the development of his tribe was that Ashina Tumen took advantage of the struggle between the Tiele tribes and Rouran to stab Tiele in the back, and surrendered many Tiele tribesmen.

Xue Yantuo himself was a member of the Tiele tribes. He also surrendered to the Turks at the same time and lived at the western foot of Jinshan Mountain where the Turks Khan's tent was located.

Previously, the Turkic Mugan Khan was beheaded in the Yinshan Mountains, and the prestige of the Wuzun Khan who succeeded him was not enough to convince the public. Therefore, the Tiele tribes gradually turned to the Shidianmi Khan who was strong in the Western Regions and had many victories. Get closer.

At that time, Shi Dianmi was still busy attacking Gida and did not have much energy to take into account the internal disputes in the Turks. Therefore, the tribes only slightly appeased the tribes and did not return to the Khan Court to fight for power with Wuzun Khan.

However, I did not expect that the Turks in the east were in trouble. Uzun Khan was killed again soon after for participating in China's internal war, causing the Turks to once again fall into a leaderless situation.

At this time, Shi Dianmi had initially completed the conquest of the Western Regions, and with the death of Wuzun Khan, Ili Khan Tumen no longer had a son. As a brother of Tumen, with brilliant military exploits and powerful power, Shi Dianmi naturally felt that he should carry the great banner of Turks.

But what happened next surprised him again. After the Tang Dynasty murdered two Turkic Khans in succession, it once again established the son of Yixiji Khan as the new Turkic Khan, and established a tent in Yinshan.

This undoubtedly made the Turkic people feel very dissatisfied, especially the elders of the Turkic country, such as Shi Dianmi, who had both qualifications and strength. They were unwilling to surrender to a puppet like Shetu who could be manipulated by foreign enemies. , so Shi Dian Mi simply stood up and stood on his own feet.

However, since Jinshan has been the location of the Turkic Khan's tent for a long time, and there are many Tumen clan members in the surrounding area, Shi Dianmi did not dare to stay in Jinshan to establish his rule. Instead, he recruited some of the Turkic clansmen to return to his territory in the Western Regions. Establish a khanate.

Among the tribes that responded to Shi Dian Mi, Xue Yantuo was a very active and powerful tribe, and its territory was close to Jinshan, which made it convenient for Shi Dian Mi to monitor and intervene in changes in the situation in the east.

Taking pictures to attack Xue Yantuo this time is undoubtedly to attack the secret face of the room. If he sits there and does nothing and is photographed to defeat Xue Yantuo and bring him back under control, it will undoubtedly greatly damage the prestige of Shidianmi, and will also make other tribes who followed him to rebel from the Turkic Khan's court hesitate.

At the same time, the loss of Xue Yantuo will also allow the west of Jinshan to be controlled by Photography. In the future, his people will be able to enter and leave Jinshan at will to attack and plunder the territory of the Western Turks, which will cause the situation in the Western Region that has just stabilized to become unstable again.

Therefore, Xue Yantuo had to save him, but before ordering the rescue of Xue Yantuo, Shi Dianmi had many thoughts in his mind. A mere photo was not worthy of his attention, but the Tang Dynasty standing behind the photo made him have to be more careful.

Although Shi Dianmi had no experience of directly fighting against the Tang Dynasty, he did not dare to underestimate such a great empire that unified China. In particular, the Western Wei Dynasty, which only occupied one of the three-thirds of the world at that time, interrupted the rising momentum of the Turks. Now its strength must be more powerful, and in addition to the divisions and brigades that invaded Xue Guyan's territory, the Tang Emperor also personally controlled the army. I'm stationed in Dunhuang!

Originally, there were only some doubts about whether the Tang Emperor's western tour was going to target the Western Turks. Now it seems that there is no doubt that the Tang Dynasty is going west to attack the Western Turks.

Xue Yantuo must be rescued, and Dunhuang in Hexi Province must be guarded against. At this moment, Shi Dianmi couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, he had been vigilant enough before. After learning about the Tang Emperor's western tour, he first gathered most of his troops in Khan Futu City in the east. Now even if the Tang Dynasty had any targeted actions, he would have Enough time and strength to respond.

He summoned his son Ashina Dingjue and seriously warned: "This time Shetu and the Tang army came to attack me, their intention is really sinister. Now you are leading 50,000 troops to save Xue Guyan. If Shetu's troops are stronger, If they are not strong, just repel them and lead your troops back to Futu City quickly.

If the soldiers and horses in the picture are majestic, you should not fight with them, but lead Xue Yantuo's tribe to move westward to avoid them. The Khan's court has been deserted for a long time, so it will be difficult for him to carry too much supplies when he comes from afar. As long as you retreat, he will be unable to attack, and the danger will naturally be eliminated! "

Ashina Dingjue was just in his prime. When he heard his father's instructions, he frowned and said disapprovingly: "Photography is just a dog Qi Jin was defeated and given to the Tang Dynasty for breeding. Now that he has come to attack me, I should capture him and cut off his head to show it to all the tribes! How can a mere lackey of the Tang Kingdom be worthy of my retreat?"

"Although you should not be afraid of taking pictures, the Tang Dynasty is powerful. Even your cousin Qi Jin, who was so brave in his early years, was not immune to his harm. Doesn't it make you wary and fear powerful enemies?"

Hearing his son's answer, Shi Dianmi frowned and reprimanded: "Now the Emperor of Tang has raised hundreds of thousands of troops in Hexi, and he doesn't know what dangerous plan he is planning. I need to sit in Futu City to guard against the Emperor of Tang. I can't lead my troops to rescue Xue Guyan, so I sent you. But if you are so rash, there is no need to go, I will send your brother there myself!"

"I'm going, I'm going, I will definitely obey the Khan's orders and never look down on the enemy!"

After hearing this, Ashina Dingjue quickly calmed down his madness and said with a respectful expression.

His father also has many sons, and it has not yet been determined who will inherit the throne in the future. Therefore, every opportunity to lead the army on an expedition is very precious for these sons. They can take the opportunity to build military exploits, strengthen their own power, and become the successors to the throne in the future. chips.

Xue Yantuo is a quite powerful force among the Tiele tribes. If he can lead his army to rescue him this time, he will naturally be included under his command. Ashina Dingjue certainly does not want to miss this opportunity.

The Western Turks now control the states of the Western Regions and many grassland tribes. There are more than 200,000 string-controlling men gathered near Khan Futu City alone. After allocating 50,000 horses to Ashina Dingjue to rescue Xue Yantuo , Shi Dianmi still has an army of tens of thousands under his command.

After confirming Datang's intentions, Shi Dianmi became increasingly vigilant and sent scouts to the south one after another to find out the news. Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to find out the latest news, that is, the king of Gaochang, Qu Gangu, had secretly defected to the Tang Dynasty, and was planning to lead his people to move eastward and break away from the rule of the Western Turks.

"Gaochang Han'er is really a true confidant and cannot be trusted!"

After learning about this incident, Shi Dianmi was furious again, and felt more and more how fierce the Tang emperor's methods were. He used both soft and hard attacks in one attack. Although it did not directly target his life, it was enough to make him confused and exhausted. To cope.

So next, Shi Dianmi sent a group of troops to Gaochang Kingdom, preparing to intimidate King Gaochang to give up this dangerous idea. On the other hand, he personally led his troops to go south to Yiwu. If King Gaochang really refused to listen to the dissuasion and insisted on moving eastward, , he will block it in Yiwu.

If the Tang army comes, it will be convenient for them to fight here and let the world see who is the real overlord of the Western Regions. If they dare not come, then after solving the turmoil in Gaochang, they will further attack Dunhuang and return the favor to the Tang Emperor. Take color!

At this time, Gaochang Kingdom was also in chaos, and there was endless quarrel over the decision of the leader Qu Gangu to move the country eastward and join the Tang Dynasty. Although Gaochang State is a state dominated by Han people, because it is located in the Western Region, there are also many other ethnic groups. Moreover, even the Han people in the country may not be happy to leave their hometowns where their ancestors lived and managed the family business.

In history, there was also a king of Gaochang who wanted to move eastward and inland because the land was close to the barbarians and he was afraid of being forced by the barbarians. This was the Ma family Gaochang before the Qu family Gaochang. At that time, Ma Ru, the king of Gaochang, went to the Northern Wei Dynasty to ask for annexation. Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty also agreed and decided to cut Yiwu for 500 miles for the Gaochang people to live.

However, the people of Gaochang were attached to their homeland and refused to move eastward, so riots broke out in the country, and the king of Gaochang, Ma Ru, was killed. The people elected their eldest son, Qu Jia, as king, and thus began the history of the Qu family in Gaochang.

Qu Qiangu was going to make the same mistakes as his predecessors this time, and he was very nervous. However, the difference from the situation back then is that the Tang Dynasty he has taken refuge in is now more powerful than the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is now personally leading the army to station in Hexi. If he does not seize this opportunity, he will want to get rid of the Western Turks in the future. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to control!

Fortunately, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty also understood this and sent three thousand fine cavalry to protect Qu Qiangu when he returned to the country. This made even some people in Gaochang Kingdom dissatisfied, but they were intimidated by the momentum of the Tang army's cavalry. If he dared to act rashly, he would only dare to shout loudly outside the palace to dissuade him.

"The Turks are ugly and barbarian in nature. They abuse our people and impose excessive taxes, so that our people are in dire straits. Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty has risen and the Xia Dynasty has revived. If our people still do not join us, our children and grandchildren will have their blood flowing in the wilderness." Barbarian?"

Qu Gangu was determined. Even when the Western Turkic envoy arrived at his royal capital, he personally led the guards to attack and kill the Western Turkic envoy. He hung the head of the Western Turkic envoy outside the palace gate, and continued to try to dissuade him outside the palace. The Chinese people shouted: " I have inherited this national inheritance from my ancestors and claimed that I have done nothing for the people of the country. I am now leading those who want to return to justice to join Tiantang. Tang people, gather in the east of the capital city and go east together!"

Under Qu Gangu's tough insistence, the debate in the country gradually subsided. Some people who were afraid of the Turks and had no intention of defecting to the Tang Dynasty went home to think of other plans, while others who were willing to follow and move eastward had no time to argue. They were all racing against time to pack up their belongings and prepare to go eastward.

The disputes in Gaochang Kingdom subsided, but all parties in the Western Regions were shocked by the news that the general wanted to move eastward. Along with the news of Gaochang's eastward move, the struggle between the two major military groups, the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks, began to become more direct. The Tang army stationed in Dunhuang for many days also began to gradually move towards Yiyi in the northwest of Dunhuang. I leave.

Both armies took Yiwu as the target of their operations, and for a while, the atmosphere in the world became unprecedentedly tense and tense. Everyone knows that the Western Region is about to change, but they can't guess whether the Western Turks will continue to maintain their dominance, or whether the Tang Dynasty will come from behind and regain its glory.

Just when all eyes were focused on Yiwu's surroundings, among the Tang army's divisional brigade that was setting out for the first time, there was a group of more than ten thousand elite soldiers who avoided the center of everyone's attention and did not go north with their troops, but left Yangguan in the west, Straight into the quicksand.

This army was led by Shi Jing, and Li Ya, Han Qinhu and other young generals were also in this army. Under the guidance of a guide recruited with a lot of money, they will cross the quicksand westward, go north to Yanqi via Puchanghai, and then directly attack the Yingsuo River where the Western Turk Khanate is located from Yanqi!

Li Tai knew very well that the Western Turks had been cultivating the Western Regions for many years and had gradually transformed into a local snake-like existence. Although the Tang Dynasty had a strong dragon passing through, it was very difficult to defeat it. Only the right and wrong must be combined to be successful.

He personally led hundreds of thousands of troops from Hexi to the north of Yiwu, and persuaded the king of Gaochang, Qu Gangu, to move his country eastward, including the Turkic Khan Photography and the North Road Division led by He Ruodun, all in order to conquer the main force of the Western Turks. Attracted from its heartland, and then used another surprise force to directly attack the heart of the Western Turks!

For a nomadic regime like the Turks, the location of its Khanate is as important as the capital of the Han regime. Although its tribesmen live in close proximity to water and grass, a center is always needed for the gathering of personnel and materials, otherwise there is no way to target the Khanate at all. exert effective control.

Moreover, the Khan's court also symbolizes the majesty of the political power. The Turks themselves do not have a complete etiquette system to maintain the power of the upper-level rulers. Once the majesty of the rulers is severely damaged, it will be very difficult to recover. A large number of tribes will choose to rebel. away from his rule.

However, the journey of this extraordinary army was far away, with thousands of miles of Gobi wilderness along the way, and the transmission of news was also very inconvenient. It would take at least a month or two for the military information to be transmitted back. During this period of time, the main force of the Tang Army needed to fight against the main force of the Western Turks around Yiwu.

The relocation of the whole country to Gaochang is bound to be difficult to accomplish overnight. Although Yiwu and Gaochang are not far apart, there are many civilians carrying a lot of belongings, and it is not fast to move.

Due to the obstruction of the Tianshan Mountains, the Western Turkic army located in Khanfutu City could not directly attack the Gaochang people on their way, and had to turn eastward and come south from the Tianshan Pass.

At this time, the front of the Tang army had also arrived in Yiwu from Dunhuang. Although it was already the bitterly cold winter season, the Tianshan Mountains intercepted the new wind coming from the north, so the climate in the Yiwu area was not extremely cold yet, so they arrived first. The Tang army quickly repaired the city defenses here, connected and expanded the existing cities and strongholds here, and built a huge camp for the army behind them.

Before the official confrontation between the two sides in Yiwu, the battle at the western foot of Jinshan Mountain began. Xue Yantuo originally had tens of thousands of men who controlled the strings, and his own strength was not weak. However, most of his tribesmen lived dispersedly in the mountains and fields at the western foot of Jinshan Mountain for the winter, and were not gathered together. Therefore, when the Turkic and Tang coalition forces suddenly came from the Jinshan Pass to kill When they came out, Xueyantuo's tribes immediately suffered heavy losses. The tribesmen either died or surrendered, and only a few fled westward.

Fortunately, the Western Turks paid more attention to Xue Yantuo's safety, and Shidianmi Khan immediately dispatched reinforcements. When the reinforcements led by Ashina Dingjue arrived, they soon encountered and merged with the Turkic troops led by Shetu. Start a battle. As a result, the division and brigade of the photography station were defeated and fled directly to the rear.

After winning the first battle, Ashina Zijue felt arrogant and arrogant. In addition, the number of Xueyantuo people he rescued was not that large, so Zijue chose to continue the attack and searched and gathered the fleeing Xueyantuo people along the western foot of Jinshan Mountain. Public.

In the process, his army suffered a fierce sniper attack from the Tang army led by He Ruodun. Zuijue suffered a disastrous defeat. Fortunately, his troops were all light cavalry who were familiar with the geography. After the defeat, they quickly evacuated the battlefield and regrouped. .

If the Tijue army retreated to Khan Futu City, then although the rescue of Xue Yantuo could not be considered a complete success, the result was acceptable. At least it effectively suppressed the scope of activities of the Turks and the Tang army, bringing the situation under control.

But in the end, Danjue still despised Shetu, his cousin who was willing to be a lackey of the Tang Dynasty. He wanted to find an opportunity to capture Shetu and escort him back to his father, so he chose to stay and continue to look for opportunities.

However, the Tang army no longer gave him this opportunity. Under He Ruodun's suggestion, Shetu led his army to pretend to evacuate to Jinshan Pass, attracting the Zui Jue army to the foothills of Jinshan Mountain. He Ruodun led his troops to attack from the side. , the Western Turkic army once again tried to escape from the battle and collapsed. When leaving, Han Guo's troops who had gone north from Liangzhou arrived at the battlefield in time, surrounded them from behind, and surrounded and suppressed most of the Western Turkic troops on the battlefield. In the end, only one or two out of ten people escaped from the battlefield, and even their rooms were closed. Mi's son Ashina was captured on the battlefield!

"Taking Jue's arrogance and arrogance leads to defeat. You really messed up my plan!"

When the news of the defeat of the reinforcements from the north came back to Khan Futu City, Shi Dianmi was naturally shocked and couldn't help but curse.

After the defeat of Ashina Dingjue, not only was Xue Guyan's rescue to no avail, but the divisions and brigade along the way were no longer blocked. They could drive straight into the Western Turks and even attack Khan Futu City directly, allowing him to fight against Yiwu. During the battle, the Tang army was attacked from both sides. Moreover, the destruction of tens of thousands of powerful troops also made Shi Dianmi's troops no longer sufficient, so he quickly ordered the recruitment of troops from the country.

Originally Shi Dianmi planned to go straight south from the Tianshan Pass to fight the Tang Army in Yiwu and kill them while the Tang Army was coming from afar. However, the failure on the side route forced him to adopt a more conservative strategy and did not rush. He led his army southward into Yiwu, and only sent part of his division south to harass the Gaochang people who were intercepting the eastward movement.

However, now that the main force of the Tang Army has settled in Yiwu, it is naturally impossible to allow the Western Turkic Rangers to wreak havoc in the territory. Dang even sent light cavalry units to attack encirclement and suppression, and began to try to attack and seize the lands previously stationed by the Western Turkic Army. Dao Tianshan Pass.

Since Shi Dianmi did not lead the main force to the south, and the Tang army did not cross the Tianshan Mountains to attack Khan Futu City in a large scale, the two sides faced off across a mountain range. The battle expected by all parties in the Western Regions did not take place immediately.

However, all parties still paid high attention to the war situation here. Even some business groups followed the Gaochang people who moved eastward to the Yiwu area, wanting to watch the battle for hegemony in the Western Region up close.

Shi Dianmi was truly a hero who had dominated the Western Regions within a few years. Even though the war had a bad start, he did not become panicked.

He first firmly garrisoned Khanfutu City and controlled several important north-south passages at the Tianshan Pass to ensure that the Yiwutang army could not move northward. Then he sent divisions and brigades eastward and repelled several attempts to attack Khanfutu City from the Jinshan direction. of enemy troops. And his most exciting operation was to send 20,000 horses recruited from the country directly south from Luntai and into the Gaochang Kingdom from the west, killing them all in the Gaochang Kingdom.

However, at this time, most of the Chinese who wanted to move away from Gaochang had already followed the country's leader Qu Gangu out of the country and arrived in Yiwu one after another. Those who still stayed in the country would inevitably suffer the vicious hands of the Western Turks. .

When the Tang army heard the news and arrived, the entire territory of Gaochang Kingdom was already filled with corpses and the scene was horrific. The Western Turkic army had already withdrawn from Luntai to the north of the Tianshan Mountains. The Tang army had to temporarily stationed in the cities of Gaochang Kingdom and The people of Gaochang who survived were summoned into the city for protection.

Although the Western Turkic army came south to massacre this time, although it failed to prevent the Gaochang people from migrating eastward, it also greatly frightened the countries in the Western Regions that had uneasy hearts, especially those who did not pay attention to seeing the Khan Dianmi trapped in Futu City. Those who would speak ill of the Western Turks if they dared to go to war, now shut up obediently.

The confrontation between the two sides soon turned from winter to spring and lasted for several months. During this period, under the unremitting attack of the Tang army, they finally captured two Tianshan mountain passes, allowing the Tang army's rangers to gallop into Futu City.

However, it is difficult for such achievements to reverse the great move. Although the climate is getting warmer all over the world, heavy snow is still inevitable in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains in the cold winter. Under such circumstances, it is really difficult to carry out large-scale deployment of people and horses. Delaying the war until the cold winter was also the success of Shidianmi Khan's strategy.

Although the Tang Army's combat effectiveness is very impressive, it is not a local force in Hexi. Its huge divisions and brigades go to the Western Regions and consume a huge amount of supplies every day, making it difficult to obtain sufficient supplies locally.

Although the situation in the Western Turks is also very difficult, after all, they have the advantage of the home field, and the cost of obtaining supplies is much lower than that of the Tang Army. Therefore, as long as they survive a cold winter, it will be the time for the Western Turks to launch a counterattack. At that time, the exhausted and hungry Tang army was vulnerable!

However, as time went by, what Khan Shidianmi was waiting for was not the good news of the collapse of the Tang army, but bad news. The Khan's tent in Yingsochuan, far north of Qiuci Kingdom, was suddenly invaded and attacked by the Tang army. Because the Khan's court was already extremely weak at this time, all the people who stayed behind in the Khan's court were captured by the Tang army, including hundreds of people. Named various chiefs and state hostages, including of course the immediate family members of the Shidianmi Khan.

"Tang Jun is really vicious! Lure me here and attack my heart!"

After hearing the news, Shidianmi Khan's expression changed drastically and he froze on the spot. After a long time, he still had no clue in his mind.

Yiwu's Tang army did not know that the division and brigade heading west had succeeded. During this period, they had persisted to the extreme, both in terms of material consumption and the mental and physical strength of the soldiers.

Although the climate in the south of the Tianshan Mountains is better than that in the north, they are still somewhat unable to adapt to the climate in the Western Regions. Many soldiers have suffered varying degrees of frostbite. It has also become increasingly difficult to transport supplies to Dunhuang, and the cycle is getting longer. Comes longer and longer.

"We should launch an attack on Futu City before the thaw! We don't need too many troops. Thirty thousand is enough. Attack the city first and attack the heart first. If we still can't defeat the enemy this time, the spring will warm up in the future. It’s even more difficult, but we can only hold on to Yiwu and fight again in the future!”

Although he was a little unwilling, Li Tai had to admit the reality. The Western Turks were far more difficult to chew than he imagined. The delay in the news of the troops going west also made him feel an ominous feeling in his heart.

At present, the national power that Datang has accumulated for several years has been used to the limit due to this war. If a phased result cannot be obtained as soon as possible, then there is really no need to persist any longer. It is still necessary to preserve the strength and ensure the current results while also To successfully retreat to the country, it is important to know that there is an evil Tuyuhun between Hehuang and Li Tai, and Li Tai cannot devote all his strength to this battle.

So he then organized his troops, sending 10,000 troops from the north of Tianshan Mountain and 20,000 troops from Yiwu, to launch an attack on Khan Futu City. Rather than attacking, it was actually coercion and pressure. In this severe cold weather, it was difficult to stretch the bowstring, and the city wall covered with ice and snow was stronger than iron and stone, and it was difficult to destroy it.

This move is nothing more than a demonstration to the Western Turks that the Tang Dynasty still has the ability to organize large-scale offensive battles even until this moment, and those who know better would surrender. If you really don't know the truth, then I can only run away with the bucket.

The competition of willpower is sometimes a thin line. After learning about the fall of Khan Court, Shi Dianmi was shocked. He wanted to obtain supplies in time during the spring thaw, and the ruling center of the Khan Court was indispensable as a transit. But now that their old nests have been raided, are the Hu tribes in the Western Regions still willing to hand over their cattle and sheep supplies safely? According to his understanding of those Hu tribes, these Hu chiefs would probably rush to the Tang emperor's tent and line up to wait for summons as soon as possible!

The fall of the Khan Court had already made him feel deep despair, and the appearance of the Tang army's troops outside Khan Futu City at this time became the last straw that broke his heart. After a fierce inner struggle, the secret of the room was revealed. He decided to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. His first priority now was to protect the hundreds of thousands of troops inside and outside Futu City. However, once the war started, he really had no confidence in ensuring that these troops would not be disbanded.

When the Western Turks invited the envoy to surrender out of the city and came to the front of the army, Li Tai was stunned for a while on horseback. After a while, he suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and said in a cold voice: "I am uniting a large army to attack Buchen. An'an." Is there any way to show off one's arrogance? Please go quickly, my lord, the sword will come!"

The Western Turkic envoys retreated hastily. After more than an hour, an old Hu man with disheveled hair and a linen blanket walked out of the city on foot, surrounded by a group of disciples, and then worshiped in the direction of the Tang Dynasty army: "Old Hu disobeys orders and goes to see His Majesty, the Supreme Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"
