Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 273 Preparing for the Battle of Dingxiang City
Through the system's prompt, Luo Yan also verified that the beheading of one hundred thousand Turkic elite required by this system task did not require him to do it himself.But any war that he planned or personally led, as long as it is effective in killing, can be counted in his account.In this way, it is in line with his current force and identity.

Li Jing's original intention of bringing him here was actually to let Li Shimin put an eyeliner on the bright side.To put it bluntly, Luo Yan and his group of brothers are actually vases.This time, Li Jing also let them out because he thought there would be no danger.

Fortunately, Luo Yan has always been "lucky", and this originally foolproof welcome actually greeted him with a bunch of enemies.

With their strength, they were able to wipe out the pursuers in one go. It was indeed a coincidence of various chances, coupled with the hard work of the soldiers, that could be done.Thinking of this, Luo Yan smiled with satisfaction.

When they were young, the subordinates of both sides reported the battle damage.After the battle on Luo Yan's side, more than 70 people died and 700 people were seriously injured, regardless of minor injuries.On the Tuli side, because it undertook the interception mission on three sides, the loss was relatively large, with more than [-] people killed and more than [-] seriously injured.

When reporting the battle damage, Tuli was beside Luo Yan, and when he heard the loss on Luo Yan's side, his surprised eyes almost popped out.After listening to his own side, Tuli couldn't help sighing: "General Luo said before that he would be alone, and I still didn't believe in your strength. I didn't expect you to control the battle with only 1000 people, and the loss was so small. I've heard about General Luo's bravery in the battle, and I don't think that even a member of Zhongshushe in Datang has such ability. If there were more people like General Luo, I'm afraid I, Turkic, would have perished long ago."

Facing Tuli's praise, Luo Yan did not dare to take credit for it: "Khan is absurd. We have been pursuing generals all our lives, and now Luo Yan is just pursuing this path. My Tang generals are full of talents. Others don't mention it, General Yuchi Jingde and General Zhang Gongjin, whom Khan is familiar with, are far more powerful than me. What I did today was just relying on the fact that the soldiers behind me are not afraid of life and death."

"General Luo is really too self-effacing. The elites use their lives to build on the foundation of the generals. There is a saying in my prairie, how can the proud wolves be led by sheep, and it refers to General Luo and his soldiers. After admiring Luo Yan, Tuli smiled happily again: "This battle was really a joyous one. I waited for the loss to be less than a thousand, and then wiped out all the more than [-] people who chased me. In my whole life, I, Tuli, have never It was such a good fight."

Being praised by Tuli, Luo Yan also burst out laughing: "This battle was really fun. I never thought that I, Luo Yan, could be so happy in my first official battle. However, if fewer soldiers were lost, it would be even more exciting." Alright." Aside from being happy, Luo Yan was also a little greedy, and all the soldiers under him were the elite among the elite, and this time more than 20 soldiers died.The soldiers who were seriously injured later had to go and see for themselves. It would be best if the system could help them pull them back from the gate of hell.

"What?" Tuli once again showed a hellish expression. "General Luo is unexpectedly leading the army for the first time."

After Luo Yan nodded to confirm, Tuli sighed: "Although these pursuers are not the most elite soldiers like Jieli's personal guards, they are also one of the dozen or so elite troops of our Turks. It was planted in the hands of a fledgling person like General Luo. The destiny is in the Tang Dynasty, how long can I Turkic struggle."

In the bleak cold wind, Tuli's figure looked thinner and thinner.

When Luo Yan returned to Shuo County with Tuli, it was already six days later.

When the army reached tens of miles away from the camp, some scouts saw their own flag and came to confirm their identity.Seeing that Luo Yan and the others came back safe and sound, the scout captain immediately dispatched his subordinates to report back to Li Jing.

Some time ago, the court had already given opinions on the resettlement of Tuli. In order to win over the Turkic nobles as much as possible, Li Shimin still retained the title of Khan of Tuli, and planned to resettle him and his people in Yunzhou today. nearby.

With the current relationship between Datang and Turkic, Tuli can be regarded as half a prince, Li Jing still needs to come out to greet him.When Luo Yan led Tuli to the gate of the camp, Li Jing had already led a kind of general to wait at the gate of the camp.

He got off his horse and walked over quickly. Luo Yan cupped his hands, bowed to Li Jing, and said in a loud voice: "Last general Luo Yan, fortunately, he did not disgrace his life, and welcomed Tuli Khan back to our Tang Dynasty safely. Now we are here Give orders to the Commander."

"You did a good job. The Zhechong Mansion of Yunzhou has already reported the battle at the mouth of the Great Wall, and more than [-] people were wiped out, which greatly increased my Tang Dynasty's prestige. I have sent a horse to send the report to the capital. I think there will be rewards in the near future. You are the first to make meritorious service in the Sixth Route Army, and you are so generous, you really live up to His Majesty's trust." Li Jing never thought that he would call a person to watch him, and there would be such a big reward. The surprise was dedicated to myself and Li Shimin, looking at Luo Yan with satisfaction at this moment, with a fearful expression on his face.

"The commander-in-chief is absurd. Since Luo Yan invited him here, he was ready for the bloody battle in the horse leather shroud. This victory is due to the close cooperation of Tuli Khan and the hard work of the soldiers under his command. Luo Yan dare not take credit for it."

Seeing that Luo Yan didn't have the arrogance he had in Chang'an at all, Li Jing became even more curious about this young man.He patted Luo Yan on the shoulder and said, "That's right, I'm not proud of taking credit. It's a pity, you are a civil servant valued by His Majesty. If you stay in the army all the time, your achievements in the future will definitely not be inferior to mine."

Li Jing has always been strict with juniors in the army.Li Jing has only praised one young man like Luo Yan so far, and that is his current favorite student Su Dingfang.I don't want to think that under this camp, among the generals, Luo Yan, a military general who has become a monk halfway, will have such a high evaluation.

For a moment, all the generals standing behind Li Jing secretly thought that they must have a good relationship with Luo Yan in the future.This guy is Yun Wenyun Wu, and he will definitely be a figure in the future.

Stopping Luo Yan's momentum of continuing to be humble, Li Jing said: "Okay, stand behind me, and respectfully invite Tuli Khan to enter the camp."

Li Jing and Tuli also met each other a few times. After meeting each other, Tuli, led by Li Jing, walked into the big tent that had already prepared the banquet.Although there is not much dancing and music in the army, a group of elders took out spirits to keep out the cold for the first time, ignoring the previous prohibition on alcohol, and the banquet was quite prosperous.

Tuli's investment did not change Li Jing's plan.Seeing that it was already Chinese New Year, Li Jing still didn't mention anything about the army's attack.He was a little worried about delaying the plan before, but now he chats with Tuli about the customs of Turk every day, and even the preferences of each tribe are regarded as a topic of conversation between the two of them.

This state continued until the Chinese New Year.

Li Shimin did not blame the army for the delay in sending troops. On the contrary, Li Shimin sent people to bring a large amount of wine and livestock before the new year.On the day of the Chinese New Year, there was plenty of wine and meat in the barracks, but the soldiers drank to their heart's content.Usually drinking is limited, and spirits are given priority to sentries and scouts, where is it open to drink like today.

Luo Yan fought wine with a large group of generals. He was brave enough to let go of five big-bellied men who were said to be wine jars, and then he himself lay down gloriously.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when he rubbed his temples and stepped into Li Jing's big tent, the news Li Jing announced immediately caused cold sweat on his forehead, and the aftereffect of the hangover was instantly cured.

"Early tomorrow morning, the army will set out to raid Xiangcheng."

Regarding Li Jing's sudden decision, Luo Yan just wanted to say that I am Cao.Li Jing is really courageous, what time is this, the third day of the Lunar New Year.If you do this, you won't be afraid of morale problems.

"Marshal, it's the New Year's Eve, the army will attack rashly, I'm afraid the morale of the soldiers will be frustrated." No, someone immediately raised the question in Luo Yan's mind.What is Li Jing's reason for taking such a risk?

"Because of the New Year's Eve, according to the habits of previous years, my soldiers in the Tang Dynasty will definitely rest and recuperate these days. The Turkic people know our habit, so they just use it for me. Under the surprise attack, they have no time to prepare, and they will definitely be able to do it easily. Occupy Xiangcheng. At that time, we will have a stronghold to continue attacking north."

After listening to Li Jing's explanation, everyone finally understood.

"The commander-in-chief's trick is really clever. With the Turkic people's inherent thinking about my Tang Dynasty, I caught it by surprise. Taking Xiangcheng in this way will not only boost morale, but also give Your Majesty the best New Year's gift."

"More than that, Xiangcheng is the gateway of the Turks. As long as this place is occupied, supplies can be continuously sent to the Turks through this place in the future. In this way, our army will not have to worry about going deep into the Turks' hinterland to carry out large-scale attacks. "

Amid the admiration of many generals, Li Jing nodded and began to deploy the next battle plan.Through the system's prompt, Luo Yan also verified that the beheading of one hundred thousand Turkic elite required by this system task did not require him to do it himself.But any war that he planned or personally led, as long as it is effective in killing, can be counted in his account.In this way, it is in line with his current force and identity.
