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

In this national war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, aside from the main force of the Tang Dynasty that had just appeared, the Turks obviously underestimated the value of the retainers of the King of Chu in the Tang Dynasty, and also overestimated the power of the King of Chu himself. ethical bottom line.

So of course, they suffered a big loss.

"Your Highness..." I have been wandering on the grassland with His Highness King Chu for more than a month. Even the two thousand cavalry troops under Xue Wanche are now almost becoming horse bandits. In addition to military discipline, they are not allowed to insult women. These people have no inhibitions.

Especially after seeing some border people abducted by the Turks and being treated worse than livestock by the Turkic tribes, even Yuan Tiangang and Taoist priest Yuan, who had always advocated "softer methods", slaughtered one person and one sword. The feat of losing half of the tribe.

"Sister Dou, can you not be disappointed?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who was riding on the horse, was already dressed as a Turk. The armor worth a thousand gold was thrown to Jiang Sheng by him at this time, and The mare next to the latter at the moment was carrying the equipment "dropped" by Uncle Li.

"Your Highness, if you keep making trouble like this..." Dou Shilun took a deep breath and then continued: "We will really be wiped out!"

"Ah? Is it so serious?" Li Kuan turned his head in surprise and looked at Qibi Heli, who was silent: "Qibi Heli, can you tell me?"

"..." What else could Qibi Heli say?

Now his Qibi tribe has begun to move west, because if they don't leave, the whole clan will have to ascend to heaven - now the entire grassland no longer recognizes the Qibi tribe as belonging to the Tiele tribes, and all this is to worship the people in front of them Given.

After successfully provoking civil strife among the Turks, the news that the Qibi tribe teamed up with the Tang army to attack various tribes in the grassland also spread like wildfire under the deliberate arrangement of a certain "barbarian king". The chiefs of the grassland tribes who were already red-eyed were slashing at each other with their swords, while vowing to kill Qibi Heli, the scourge, and King Chu of the Tang Dynasty, the scum of the world, the scum of the Tang Dynasty, the scum of the Central Plains.

Yes, His Highness the King of Chu's reputation in the grassland is much more infamous now than in Chang'an. Not only has it reached the point where it can "stop a child from crying", but the name of the King of Chu can already be heard by the foreign races in the grassland. Discoloration".

"Fight if you can, and run if you can't." This was the strategic policy designated by His Royal Highness the King of Chu for the Turkic armies encountered along the way.

And the killing rule of "Kill all men over twelve and under sixty, and women over seventeen and under fifty" also made His Royal Highness the King of Chu who was preparing to become the "Supreme Khan" , after being certified by the grassland officials and the people, everyone worked together to give His Royal Highness the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty a title - "Yelili Ilik", which means King of Demons in Turkic language.

"Your Highness, what we are following now are nearly 100,000 Turkic troops. In addition to Kang Shumin, who fought with us several times and was transferred back to the frontal battlefield after the defeat, Ashina Simo, Ashina Mishe, and these The two most brave and skillful generals under Jie Li are gearing up right now, thinking about how to eat us, so don’t take it seriously." Jiang Qu has had to hold his weapons while sleeping in the past two days. , he is not afraid of death, but he is really afraid that Li Kuan will die here.

"Your Highness," after Jiang went to explain the seriousness of the matter, Dou Shilun stood up and persuaded: "If we go all the way west, I will definitely be able to find a way to help you get out of trouble."

"What are you talking about?! Mr. Jiang, Uncle Dou, I still owe a lot of 'decapitation interest' on my account now. Alas, don't mention the people of the Turkic tribes. Those people are... It's not something that can be calculated, it's the debt that this king collects for the people of the Central Plains who have been robbed in the past." Li Kuan knew that Dou Shilun was thinking about himself, but he had finally suppressed a big wave, and he could do it in this place where no one can shit. ?

No matter what, we have to pull him back to Dingxiang City and pull him over Jie Li’s head.

"Then your Highness already has a good plan in mind?" Xue Wanche, as His Highness the King of Chu's number one admirer, felt that it was necessary to stand up at this time.

"Yes!" When talking about this, the Demon King got excited: "Look, we are now in the hinterland of Turks, and we are at least more than 1,300 miles away from Dingxiang City in a straight line, and Ashina Simo and Ashina Mishe, these two fools, have been hanging behind us for too long, and now is the time when they are full of anger, so they never expected that this king would divide his troops."

"Divide the troops?!" Qibi Heli originally thought that a reckless man like Jie Li was already the most stupid person in the world, but he didn't expect that there was someone even more reckless than him: "His Royal Highness, let's go all the way. The number of personnel in the battle has been reduced, and now they are fully equipped. There are only more than 3,600 people who can mount and fight. Even if all of these 3,600 people are elites, they are not enough for Ashina Simo and Ashina Mishe. If the army led by either of them fights, in this case, you still have to..."

"Why do you talk so much nonsense?!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu didn't have a good face when dealing with foreign ministers: "Are you afraid of death? Afraid of dying and going back!"

"..." Qibi Heli stopped talking now. This bitch has ruined himself and is still planning to abandon him like a pair of worn-out shoes?

"Your Highness!" Dou Shilun obviously knew that he couldn't persuade his clan leader, but he didn't want Li Kuan to hurt the loyal minister's heart: "Chief Qibi has worked hard for you all the way and always puts your interests first. How could you be so rude to him?"

After Dou Shilun finished speaking, before Li Kuan could speak, he turned to Qibi Heli and smiled: "Brother Qibi, my Highness has been like this since he was a child. He speaks directly and has no bad intentions. Of course, he is treating himself." Talent is like this. Besides, you have seen before that His Highness also has this attitude towards us retainers. I hope you don't mind. At the same time, I am here to apologize to you on behalf of Your Highness for the previous rudeness."

Sometimes I really have to admit that without Dou Shilun to support King Chu Man, this team would have to disperse sooner or later.

Qibi Heli received a bow from Dou Shilun, and was a little flattered: "What do you mean, Mr. Dou? Of course I know that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has no bad intentions, but the current situation is serious and the troops are divided again..."

While Qibi Heli was speaking, snowflakes began to fall in the sky.

"In this matter, everything will be done as I say." Li Kuan stretched out his hand and caught a falling snowflake: "Divide eight hundred troops, one man and three cavalry, carry the wounded, pretend to be the main force and go all the way west, using the Western Regions to return to the mainland. Tang, and the remaining people will follow my king all the way east, after bypassing the pursuing troops in the rear, then go south to surprise Dingxiang City!"
