Datang: An eight-year-old master of the bar, he gave everyone a blow at the beginning

Chapter 274
Ashnatur failed to attack the Zhongzhou navy at night, and when he returned to Binhe City, he became furious and kicked all the things in the king's tent.

"Report, Chai Shao, the marching chief of the East Road of the Tang Dynasty, is fifty miles away from Binhe City!"

A Turkic scout hurriedly ran into the king's tent to report the military situation to Ashinatur!

"Damn it, if Chai Shao leads the main force of Tang Dynasty to attack Binhe City, what will this king do to stop him?"

Ashnatur was shocked and angry. What surprised him was that the Tang army marched faster than expected!

After that, scouts returned to the king's tent to report the Tang army's movements one after another.

"Damn Yuchihuan, if you hadn't lost my [-] fine riders, I would have no fear of Chai Shao at all!"

Ashnatur beat the stake angrily.

"His Royal Highness, if Tang Jun is allowed to continue marching, they will arrive at Binhe City at noon tomorrow!"

A Turkic chief couldn't help standing up and persuading Ashnatur to send troops to harass the Tang army.

"At least half of the Tang army is cavalry. Even if I come out in full force, I will still be no match for the Tang army!"

Ashnatur sighed and said, "What's more, we have already lost [-] soldiers and horses in the hands of the Zhongzhou Navy!"

"What His Royal Highness said is true, if Chai Shao also has heavy cavalry under his command, wouldn't we be going to die?"

Some Turkic chiefs echoed Ashnatur's words, thinking that they should stick to Binhe City.

After a while, the chieftain and Qijin in the Turkic king's tent began to argue.

Ashnatur said with a final word: "Everyone stop arguing, this king is going to stop Chai Shao in Binhe City!"

"His Royal Highness is wise!"

"The last will obey!"

The Turkic generals and tribal chiefs in the king's tent took orders one after another.

Next, Ashnatur began to dispatch troops, and divided the remaining [-] Turkic cavalry in Binhe City into two, stationed at the east and west gates of Binhe City.

As for the city gates facing north and south, they had long been blocked by Ashinatul's people.

In this way, Ashnatur does not need to divide his troops to garrison everywhere.

……

But at this moment, outside Shuozhou Pass, Chai Shao is leading [-] Tang troops to march in a hurry.

This time, in order to deal with the Turkic cavalry, Chai Shao basically brought all the cavalry that could be taken away from Hedong Road.

At present, he has at least [-] cavalry under his command, including [-] infantry, for a total of [-] troops.

Behind the [-] Tang troops were [-] civilians transporting grain. These civilians were also equipped with horizontal knives and sabers and had a certain degree of combat effectiveness and could protect the army's grain and grass.

The folks of the Tang Dynasty practiced martial arts. Except for crossbows, armors, shields, and long weapons, they were not allowed to own any other weapons!
Therefore, the common people in Datang basically knew a little fighting skills.

In the morning, [-] Tang troops marched in an orderly manner under the command of Chai Shao.

In order to protect the safety of the army, Chai Shao personally led [-] cavalry as the vanguard.

Basically, all the Turkic cavalry scouts encountered by Chai Shao never returned.

Da da!

Suddenly, a Tang Army scout ran to Chai Shao and said, "General, the Zhongzhou Navy has a good news!"

"Another good news from Yuchihuan?"

Chai Shao was dumbfounded, he had already received the news that Yuchihuan had defeated ten thousand Turkic cavalry last night.

Chai Shao didn't believe Yuchihuan's victory at first, but after the scouts he sent to inspect the battlefield with his own eyes, he was convinced that the Zhongzhou Navy's military achievements were all right.

As a result, another good news came from Yuchihuan early in the morning!

Chai Shao didn't know how to evaluate Yuchihuan, the governor of Zhongzhou!
Soon, Chai Shao took Yuchihuan's victory report and looked with relish, he couldn't laugh or cry: "Ashnatur is not Yuchihuan's opponent during the day, so he went to attack Yuchihuan at night, is he stupid?"

"Come here, send the good news to Chang'an City in eight hundred miles!"

After Chai Shao confirmed that the victory report was correct, he affixed the seal and ribbon of his commander in chief of the Hedong Road, and ordered the scouts to send them to Chang'an City.

"Here!"

The Tang army's scouts did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent ten people to escort the good news back to the pass.

Looking at the scouts who were far away from the army, Chai Shao sighed, "It's really incredible that Yuchihuan hit Ashinatur's [-] cavalry with [-] cavalry!"

In order to bite the Ashnatur army stationed in Binhe City as soon as possible, Chai Shao had to order the army to speed up the march.

Rumble!
In a moment, [-] Tang Army cavalry rushed to Binhe City at full speed.

They were invincible and captured hundreds of nomadic tribes along the way, who fell on the wind.

The [-] Great Tang infantry also accelerated their march.

If there is no accident, the [-] main force of Datang will arrive in Binhe City tomorrow.

……

Gyeonggi-do, Changan City, Tai Chi Palace!
In the evening, the Zhongzhou Navy's victory report arrived at the Ganlu Palace where the Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty slept.

Li Er was about to go to bed, but Wang Gonggong ran in carelessly to report the victory.

"Your Majesty, the good news from Hedong Road is here!"

Eunuch Wang handed the victory report of Zhongzhou Navy to Li Er with a smile on his face.

Li Er took a glance at the victory report, and was dumbfounded: "The Zhongzhou Navy actually defeated more with less and killed nearly [-] enemies?"

Wang Gonggong nodded and said yes: "Your Majesty, I didn't believe it at first, but there is Chai Shao's seal inside, it should be true!"

Li Erlong said happily: "Little Yuchi really didn't embarrass me, haha!"

"Your Majesty's dispatch of Yuchi Huan to serve as the governor of Zhongzhou is a clever plan, and I am convinced!"

The prince immediately flattered Li Er.

Li Er stopped and said: "Haha, you don't have to flatter me!"

"Slave complies!" Wang Gonggong immediately shut up.

Li Er then began to confirm the military exploits of the generals who participated in the battle.

Liu Rengui and Cheng Chumo are the main generals who played against Binhe City this time, so they both deserve the most credit.

As for Xue Rengui, because he did not participate in the war, he had no chance to make meritorious service.

This time, Yu Chihuan recommended Liu Rengui and Cheng Chumo as Captain Guoyi!
This is not a low-level military officer of the sixth rank!

"According to my decree, Liu Rengui and Cheng Chumo have meritorious service in defeating Ashina Tur, and have been promoted to the rank of Captain Guoyi based on their military merits. I appreciate this!"

After Li Er finished speaking, he ordered the prince to draw up a decree and seal it.

The prince did not dare to be negligent, and immediately drew up an order, and uploaded the national jade seal and ribbon to Li Ergai according to the procedure.

So far, the promotion of Liu Rengui and Cheng Chumo to Captain Guoyi has been settled.

The other brigade commanders and team leaders who participated in the battle also received promotion rewards.

It can be said that everyone in the Zhongzhou Navy has gained both fame and fortune this time.

However, Li Er did not reward Yuchihuan with silver, but ordered Yuchihuan to allocate money from the stolen money seized by the Zhongzhou Dudu Mansion.

Li Er's imperial decree was sent out of Tai Chi Palace overnight.

Early the next morning, the news that Yu Chihuan led the Zhongzhou navy to defeat the Turkic cavalry spread throughout Chang'an City.

When Princess Changshan learned that Yuchihuan had won the battle, she was so happy that she could see her teeth but could not see her eyes. She proudly showed off Yuchihuan's achievements to everyone she met.

This made Li Er very headache, because Princess Changshan was chatting by his side all day long!
Princess Changshan even asked Li Er to go back on his words and let Yuchihuan return to Chang'an City Official to resume his post!

Li Er couldn't stand Princess Changshan's nagging, so he had to ask Queen Changsun to take action.

As a result, as soon as Empress Changsun stepped into the Ganlu Hall, Princess Changshan slipped away.
