Zhenguan four years, late July.

Datang's offensive was blocked by the three-way coalition army.

Whether it is the west road or the south road, they are all stagnant.

Both Li Tao and Li Xiaogong sent back letters, asking Li Chengqian's meaning.

It's funny to say that these two people are almost eighty years old together.

But when they marched and fought, they even had to ask Li Chengqian, a little hairy child, what he meant.

Of course, this is not all because of Li Chengqian's identity.

Rather, because of the strategic deployment he began, people can see at a glance that this is a far-reaching line of vertical and horizontal planning.

Just like playing chess, Li Chengqian had already calculated every next move when he first took over the battle.

If the two of them act rashly, once Li Chengqian's current plan is broken, no one knows what will happen next.

Besides, whether it is Li Tao or Li Xiaogong.

Both of them have the same temperament.

Typical is not greedy for merit, but he is not behind the blame.

It's okay to give some merit, but the pot is absolutely not memorized.

And Li Chengqian had already expected the current situation, so after the two sent back the letter.

He sent back the letter he had already prepared to the two of them.

Li Xiaogong was the first to receive the letter.

After reading the contents of the letter, he was also amazed.

Obviously, he couldn't understand why Li Chengqian arranged it this way.

Li Chongyi, who was standing on the side, was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but ask, "Father, how did Your Highness arrange it?" ”

"See for yourself."

Li Xiaogong casually handed the letter to Li Chongyi.

When Li Chongyi read it once, he also had the same surprised expression as his father.

The letter is very clear and asks Li Xiaogong to continue to lead the army forward.

And Li Chongyi wanted to lead 5,000 men and horses to stand by and wait for Li Chengqian's next orders.

This attitude is already obvious.

It is clear that there are more important things to be done by Li Chongyi.

This is a trust in Li Chongyi, and it is also a test for him.

See Li Chongyi's expression.

Li Xiaogong shook his head and laughed bitterly, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "It seems that Your Highness has an important task to be entrusted to you." ”

"You must not let down Your Highness's wishes."

Hearing this, Li Chongyi looked up at his father, his face full of bitterness: "But these two brushes are obviously not as good as their father's." ”

"Even if His Highness reuses me, I'm afraid I won't have the ability to take on the big responsibility......"

"Child, when your father is old, you will have to learn to grow up by yourself sooner or later."

Li Xiaogong said with a smile on his face: "The future Datang is bound to be handed over to you." ”

"This relationship between you and Cheng Qian is also your creation, as for whether you can seize this opportunity or not, it doesn't matter, as long as you have a clear conscience."

"Besides, even if you make a mistake, your father will help you stop it."

After speaking, he didn't say anything more, and got up directly and went out to help Li Chongyi order his troops.

A day later, Li Xiaogong threw off his army and continued to march eastward.

Li Chongyi led 5,000 men and horses to stay where they were.

Not long after, Li Chengqian rushed here.

And he didn't come alone, he also brought the Qianzi battalion and a large number of armaments and supplies.

When he saw the things that Li Chengqian had prepared for himself, Li Chongyi couldn't help but be a little confused.

is also because he played better when he was a child, so he was not so restrained in front of Li Chengqian.

Li Chongyi grabbed a package casually, faced Li Chengqian and asked, "I said what do you kid want me to do?" ”

"What are you going to do with these white cloaks and these cotton clothes for me?"

"When the time comes, you'll know."

Li Chengqian sold a pass, and then said to Li Chongyi with a smile: "Now, you only have one task, and that is to take your five thousand men and horses to the depths of the Mobei grassland. ”

"In a month's time, I'll leave my own big business to you."

Hearing this, Li Chongyi's face was puzzled, but he didn't say anything.

Subsequently, according to Li Chengqian's arrangement, he took 5,000 Liangzhou soldiers and materials and armaments to the depths of Mobei.

Watching the team leave, Li Chengqian also turned around and walked to the carriage.

Before boarding the carriage, he suddenly turned around and asked, "By the way, Brother Chong, has the teacher received my letter and supplies?" ”

"It should have been received."

The eldest grandson thought for a while and said, "Count the days, General Li will send a message back in the next two days." ”

When the words fell, he asked a little puzzled: "Your Highness, to be honest, I don't understand why you deployed like this. ”

"I don't know, can you explain a thing or two?"

Li Chengqian still looked mysterious: "When the time comes, you will know." ”

……

Zhenguan 4th year, August.

The Bingzhou Army, which was originally fighting with the Xi army, suddenly turned east under the leadership of Li Tao.

This scene really made Xi Jun a little stunned.

What's going on?

Why is it that you are fighting and suddenly leaving?

Zhao Youlin, who received the news, was also a little puzzled.

He asked his subordinates to take out the map, and then traced on the map according to the route of the Tang Dynasty's march.

But when he saw that the vanguard army of the Tang Dynasty had arrived at the boundary of Yingzhou, his face suddenly changed greatly.

He hurriedly called the herald: "Quick, pass the book to the Khitan to step up precautions, and the Tang thieves will attack in a few days." ”

The herald intervened, and then hurried down to order the soldiers to go to the Khitan to deliver the letter.

But at this time, it is obviously too late to send the letter.

Only on the day of his transmission, the five thousand soldiers led by Su Dingfang had already appeared in the territory of the Khitan.

Because the Khitan was negligent in taking precautions, and the main domestic forces were sent to the Xi territory to help the Xi people resist the attack of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, the defense of the Khitan clan is like mud and paper.

Su Dingfang only led less than 5,000 soldiers to conquer the three Khitan cities and sixteen villages in one day.

When the Khitan side began to organize a counterattack, Li Tao's army had already arrived.

Moreover, Li Tao is not just as simple as leading a lone army into the depths.

He successively established strongholds in Pingzhou, Liaoxi, and Yingzhou, as well as logistics supply lines.

At this moment, the Bingzhou Legion is like a steel knife that completely cuts the coastal line of the Northeast Sanban.

And the army was sharp, pointing directly at the Khitan king's tent, forcing the Khitan Shan Yuwen Yeyu to retreat the king's tent north for 300 miles overnight.

When Zhao Youlin received this news, he was like being struck by lightning.

He patted his forehead and asked the herald, "What does the Khitan side say?" ”

"Now the voices of all ethnic groups within the Khitan against the war are high."

The herald replied truthfully: "More than half of the officials and ministers have begun to approve of peace talks with the Tang Dynasty. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Youlin sneered.

"Do they think this boat can be taken down if they say it?"

"Now that they've been mixed together, no one can run away."

Zhao Youlin raised his head slightly and said: "Tell the Khitan that if they want to keep the royal tent, they will desperately beat the invading Tang thieves out, and my Xi army will do everything to help." ”

"But if they surrender, my Xi army will definitely turn the spearhead at the first time and destroy his Khitan."

Zhao Youlin narrowed his eyes, his eyes gloomy: "Since we are going to die, we will die together." ”

He is now determined to succeed if he doesn't succeed.

If you can't resist the pace of the Tang Dynasty's attack, then you will fight with Tang three times in the northeast.

Let Datang always remember that he has an enemy named Zhao Youlin.
