Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

Unlike His Royal Highness the King of Chu who likes to mention the chiefs of foreign tribes as his generals, General Li Jing and Li have been in trouble ever since they left Shuofang City.

First of all, according to the original plan, the six armies have already marched towards the grassland along the originally planned attack route. Therefore, what Li Jing should do now is not to find the King of Chu who is wreaking havoc behind enemy lines, but to figure out how to capture Dingxiang City.

"General, we have been chasing His Royal Highness the King of Chu for half a month now, and we still haven't seen him. But right now, all the armies are marching according to your original arrangement. General Li Ji has led from the east road. The main force directly began to attack the hinterland of the Turks. Chai Gong now also led the army out of Shuofang City, echoing us and General Li Ji; in addition, the king of Chengjun (Li Daozong) also led the army to the northwest from Lingzhou at this time , Inspector Wei Xiaojie, the governor of Youzhou, and Xue Wanjun, the governor of Lingzhou, one of them guarded the Yanyun area to prevent the Turkic army from escaping eastward, and the other took the northeast route to attack the Turks' rear and monitor the Turli Khan..."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Li Jing finally couldn't stand Zhang Gongjin repeating the original battle plan to him like an endorsement. He frowned and looked at the deputy general chattering in front of him, knowingly asking.

"..." Seeing Li Jing like this, Zhang Gongjin immediately didn't bother to go around in circles: "General, even if Queen Taimu has been very kind to you and your wife, this battle is the battle of our country's destiny in the Tang Dynasty. How can you take it lightly just because of one person?" Where is the world?"

"Don't tell me what you are talking about here!" Li Jing almost laughed angrily at Zhang Gongjin: "Didn't you see the Turkic tribes that were reduced to ashes along the way, those who were constantly chasing each other? The Turks and the Turkic horse bandits who saw us actually came forward and asked if they could cooperate in the robbery, and everyone shared the stolen goods afterwards, do you think that all this chaos happened out of thin air?!"

"But these are just trails..." Zhang Gongjin naturally saw the changes that happened along the way, and knew that these were all the work of His Highness the King of Chu. But in his opinion, if he didn't take Dingxiang City, he wouldn't win it in one battle. Dingding, to the Turks, these chaos are just trivial things that are neither painful nor itchy, and have nothing to do with the overall situation.

"You still underestimated His Royal Highness the King of Chu." Li Jing sighed, and then slowly explained: "Our journey along the way can be said to be drawing a circle hundreds of miles away along Dingxiang City. .Why did His Highness the King of Chu make this place chaotic?"

"Does the King of Chu really want to attack Xiangcheng?" Zhang Gongjin's eyes widened when he heard this. Zhang Gongjin was also present when Li Jing got angry at Chai Shao, but he didn't believe that Li Kuan would fight from the beginning to the end. Dingxiang City, in his opinion, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is a good prince. He does not stay in Chang'an to enjoy himself, but comes to the border to march and fight. This is already very puzzling. If it is said that he is really passionate about the man in the young heart , then in the first battle of Shuofang, he charged into the formation three times, shot down the Golden Wolf, and killed over 10,000 people, which was enough for him to go back and show off to anyone, and even shine in the annals of history.

So Zhang Gongjin didn't understand why King Chu did this.

Li Jing obviously saw Zhang Gongjin's inner thoughts at this time, but he didn't say anything about it. Instead, he was quite angry: "When I return to Chang'an this time, I have to have a good chat with Yu Shinan. This old man is fine. What kind of military art can you teach the King of Chu?"

And the most important thing is that a scholar teaches a "barbarian" the art of war, but the latter only learns it half-heartedly and dares to come to the grassland to start a war.

Haha...this thing is really full of flaws and has too many elements...

-------------------------------------

Not to mention how complicated Li Jing's mood was, on the other hand, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who led his men everywhere to retaliate and provoke others, was really having a wonderful time these days.

To sum it up with a witticism: "I saw the king cutting down from south to north, regardless of day or night..."

His Highness the King of Chu, after successfully angering Pugu (Yuxi tribe), Atie, and Xijie tribes who are currently loyal to Jieli Khan, this guy actually ignored the dissuasion of his retainer Dou Shilun and the newly promoted minister Qibi Heli. , and in turn, they also dealt harsh blows to the Turkic tribes such as Xue Yantuo, Huihe, and Bayegu who had raised troops to resist Jieli Khan.

Whenever you encounter it, you will never let it go.

Unlike the troops he sent out who were specifically responsible for provoking civil strife among the Turks, the army led by the Chuman King himself found no grass growing wherever it went.

——Even the sheepdog on the roadside had to be slapped twice by him.

Nowadays, there are rumors all over the grassland: The Tang Dynasty sent an army led by demons. Their leader can eat cattle and sheep alive. When he is angry, the whole grassland will start to snow. When he is happy, the Turks His tribe will raise fire, and his men will hold a killing feast for him to win his favor.

Naturally, Jieli Khan would not turn a blind eye to this. Although the rebels had no intention of returning to his tent, he did not allow an army that looked more like bandits than the Turks to appear on his territory, and these bandits The fear caused by retaliating against them by means familiar to the Turks is the same as the fear caused by the Turks when they plundered the Central Plains.

Jieli Khan did not want his people to change from hunters to prey. He also knew that once the panic continued to expand, his originally precarious dominance would be completely destroyed.

In view of this, after careful consideration, he finally released Ashina Simo from death row.

"Ashna Simo," Jie Li looked at this Turkic general who was forced to give up his position because his father, Qimin Khan, fled eastward and returned. He had always been quite afraid of him. , but now, he had to let go of the opportunity to kill the opponent openly and entrusted Ashina Simo with an important task again: "These days, I have been receiving news that outside Shuofang City, The Tang army that defeated you is massacring the Turkic tribes all around us. In addition, the unrest caused by them has made everyone in the entire grassland start to feel in danger.

Someone has reported to me that some small tribes of Turks have begun to rob the large tribes that have been attacked, and some Turkic horse bandits have even begun to cooperate with them to kill, rob, rob, and kill..." Jieli Khan was speaking. The fat on his face was also trembling crazily: "I have sent Kang Shumin, Ashina Yushe, and the army to quell these disturbances, whether they are Turkic horse bandits, strong men from small tribes, or forced to defend themselves. The big tribes that plan to attack the surrounding tribes first. In short, I don’t plan to let go of any of those bastards who dare to take chances in this chaotic situation, kill each other against their own tribe, and try to fish in troubled waters. "

"Great Khan," Ashina Simo vaguely guessed Jieli's intention to release him, but he was very smart and did not take the initiative to mention it. Instead, he pretended to be upright and solemn and said: "Simo Mo boldly begs the benevolent Khan to temporarily forgive my sins and give me a team of men so that I can clear out these gangsters for you!"
