Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

With that said, A Ke handed the reins of Jueying (like Luo Kexin's white-hoofed crow, one of the famous horses that Li Qiu exchanged for system points) to Tang Jian.

Afterwards, A Ke's figure flicked around and landed in front of Li Qiu with incomparable lightness.

Seeing this, everyone praised Princess Yunzhong's martial arts in their hearts.

Tang Jian, on the other hand, was grateful again and again, saying what he was capable of, and even asked Her Royal Highness to lend me his beloved horse to ride Yunyun.

Afterwards, the army of Li Jing and others stopped talking nonsense and rushed towards the hinterland of the grassland.

……

On the other side, at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, there is plenty of water and the most fertile and flat grassland, which originally belonged to the Turkic grassland.

The leader of Xue Yantuo's tribe, the current grassland Khan Yi Shiyinan, faced the sudden heavy snow and laughed.

"Hahaha, I lost my mind, General Ashinasheer, what do you see?"

"It's really blessed by the God of the Grassland. It snows heavily in this season."

"With such a heavy snowfall, I'm afraid Tang Jun will never come again next spring."

"This also brings the best respite opportunity for our grassland tribes."

"I, Yishiyinan, assure everyone that as long as all the tribes in the grassland work together, you will help me with your heart."

"In less than five years, our prairie army will be able to flourish again, and once again become a nightmare in the hearts of the people of the Tang Dynasty!"

Saying that, Yi Shiyi man bent down, picked up a handful of thick snow, then turned around and asked with a smile: "Now, you should feel relieved, right?"

Zhi Shili and Ashinasheer were really relieved at this time.

Then he also laughed and complimented Yi Shiyi Nan, "This time, we can finally rest assured that with this heavy snowfall, the army of the Tang Dynasty will never come."

"Unless they can get wings!"

"This also shows that God blesses my grassland. It is the god of the grassland who personally chose you, Khan, and wants you to lead all the tribes in our grassland through this crisis."

"This is also an auspicious sign that my grassland will be prosperous again!"

Hearing what they said, Yi Shiyi laughed loudly, "Haha, if that's the case, then follow the rules on our grassland."

"Light a bonfire, kill sheep, and drink!"

"Dance and sing to your heart's content!"

"It also makes all the hardships and troubles we have suffered this year go away, and everything will be discussed next year!"

Following Yi Shiyinan's order, the whole tribe also began to boil.

Unbeknownst to them, a scythe of death held in Tang Jun's hand was quietly approaching their necks.

……

On the other hand, before the army of Li Jing and Li Qiu went out this time, the imperial court made a lot of arrangements.

The connection between the army and the Ministry of War is also extremely close.

Such a big event happened on their side, Yu Zhining absolutely did not dare to delay or conceal anything.

So a letter of military information was sent back to the distant city of Chang'an at a speed of [-] miles a day.

When Shangshu's right servant shot Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others came to the imperial study with this urgent military message.

Li Shimin also happened to be inexplicably uneasy, with an ominous premonition.

At this moment, Changsun Wuji and others hurriedly came to see him.

Seeing the expressions of Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others, Li Shimin frowned.

"Your Majesty, the news just came back from the army ahead."

"The [-] troops led by Li Jing, Li Qiu and others just crossed the river, and it snowed heavily on the grassland."

"It's a foot deep, and it's extremely difficult for our army's horses to move forward."

Hearing this, Li Shimin frowned and said: "In this case, then order Li Jing to withdraw their army to Jingzhou."

"Take a rest for the winter, and fight again in the spring of next year!"

At this time, Changsun Wuji sighed softly with a bitter face, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for this military order ahead."

"Li Jing has already brought Li Qiu, Princess Yunzhong, and 20 elite cavalry soldiers. They only carried [-] days' rations, and they went deep into the hinterland of the grassland alone."

Upon hearing his words, Li Shimin felt his scalp was about to explode.

Standing up emotionally, "What did you say?!"

Chapter 424 Where's That Damn Tang Jian?I'm going to kill him

Faced with Li Shimin's questioning, Changsun Wuji sent the military report in his hand to the dragon case, and then repeated the content again.

Li Shimin was full of anger, frowning and read the military newspaper again.

If it is really what Changsun Wuji said, it is absolutely true.

At this time, I saw Li Shimin punching the table with an extremely angry fist, "Nonsense!"

"It's bullshit!"

"Where's the damn supervisor Tang Jian?"

"How did I tell him before the army set off?"

"How did he promise me?!"

"But in the end, it turned out like this!"

"Where is he now?! Let me catch him, and I will kill him as the supervisor first!"

At this moment, Changsun Wuji also bit the bullet and pleaded with Tang Jian.

"Your Majesty, calm down first."

"According to the news from the front, Tang Jian, the supervisor, also went to the hinterland of the grassland with Li Jing, Li Qiu and others."

"Even if you kill him first, you have to wait for their army to come back before saying no."

"And according to my estimate, Li Jing has fought for so many years, Li Qiu, Yunzhong, and the more than 3000 elite are well-equipped."

"They should turn bad luck into good luck and return safely."

After hearing what he said, Li Shimin waved his hands feebly.

"Auxiliary machine, I have fought battles for more than ten years. Have you ever seen a battle that was won by saying auspicious words?"

"This is a battlefield, and it must be fought by strength and strength, not by estimation."

"Xuanling, quickly bring the map and see where they should be at this time?"

Afterwards, someone naturally brought the map, and Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Hou Junji, Wang Gui, Du Zhenglun and others were around the map.

At this time, as in the past, Fang Xuanling first analyzed the current situation.

"Your Majesty, more than [-] troops led by Yu Zhining are stationed at this high position at this ferry."

"And from which direction Li Jing's army intends to penetrate into the hinterland of the grassland, it is still impossible to guess."

"This grassland is too vast, and now under the heavy snow, there is no path to find."

"However, Li Jing's march and use of troops are always the most difficult to guess."

"At the same time, right now we only know that there were nearly 4 Turkic troops who fled back at that time."

"But now what kind of changes have taken place on their side, what kind of distribution of troops has been carried out, and so on, I don't know anything about it."

"Judging from Yu Zhining's position, it has been three or four days since their army set off."

When Fang Xuanling said this, he stopped talking.

It's obvious that they don't know anything about the current military situation in Chang'an, and they can't do anything.

We can only wait for the final result.

So in anger, Li Shimin directly lifted the map on the table.

"I have passed on my will to order Yu Zhining's army to divide into three groups, link up with each other, and immediately enter the grassland in three different directions."

"If the horses are difficult to walk, then they will lead the horses as infantry, and they will rush in for me."

"Be ready to respond to Li Jing and Li Qiu's army at any time."

"I only have one request for them, that is, no matter what happens, Li Jing and Li Qiu must not be allowed to have trouble!"

Listening to Li Shimin's military order, Fang Xuanling hesitated for a moment, and finally said worriedly: "Your Majesty, in this snow-covered grassland environment, our army is not familiar with the terrain over there."

"If the army rushed forward rashly, once it was ambushed, the result would be disastrous."

At this time, Li Shimin's eyes were extremely firm and fierce, "Do you want me to say it again?"

"I only have one request, and that is to have Li Jing and Li Qiu come back safely no matter what!"

"Execute the order, there is no need to discuss this matter!"

……

Soon, this urgent military message spread throughout the area of ​​Chang'an City.

After hearing this news, people like Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, Feng Li, Wei Ting and others were naturally worried about the safety of Li Jing and Li Qiu.

On the other hand, Hou Junji, the Zheng family, and those courtiers who hated Li Qiu to the bone, wanted to set off firecrackers at the door, hoping that Li Qiu would die in the grassland forever.

Just don't come back.

In the East Palace, when Prince Li Chengqian heard about the military sentiment, not only did he not worry about the military sentiment ahead.

Instead, he laughed loudly, and ordered people to arrange food and drinks, and have a drink in the East Palace.

When he thought that this lingering Li Qiu was about to die in the grassland, he felt extremely happy in his heart.

Now, the person Li Chengqian hates most in his heart is Wei Wang Li Tai who once made him suffer from leg problems.

He, Li Qiu, was ranked second.

Although he is the crown prince of a country, Li Qiu is just a courtier who works hard for the country and works hard for the country.

But for some reason, whenever he saw Li Shimin and Empress Changsun doting on Li Qiu, he felt jealous and angry.

Especially when he was compared with Li Qiu, Li Chengqian felt the deep humiliation in his heart.

That mere businessman who used to sell wine in the Eastern Market did nothing more than make a few great achievements, so why should he be compared with himself, the prince of the Tang Dynasty?

Therefore, Li Chengqian drank more and more wine, and gradually drank too much.

At this moment, Zhang Xuansu, who came to teach Li Chengqian in the afternoon, happened to walk in and saw Li Chengqian in such a state of defeat.

He squinted his eyes and shouted, "Prince!"

"As the crown prince of a country, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, in broad daylight, and without any festivals, you are drunk like mud."

"What kind of system is it?!"

"Your words and deeds at every moment are a symbol of my Tang Dynasty..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Chengqian laughed and waved his hands.

"This is in my East Palace, this is my home."

"Am I not allowed to drink too much in my own home?"

"Zhang Xuansu, leave me alone!"

"I'm so happy today, I just want to drink..."

Seeing his current state, the rigid old scholar Zhang Xuansu was so angry that his beard trembled.

"Prince, prince!"

"Look at what you're talking about?!"

"Ahead, my Tang army is fighting the Turks. Commander Li Jing, King Peiping, and Princess Yunzhong have gone deep into the grassland."

"Now life is on the line, and the entire court and Tang Dynasty are worried about their safety."

"But you are a majestic prince, and the heir apparent of the Tang Dynasty actually drank like this and said he was happy?"

"You, you... What kind of dignity are you?!"
