Chapter 72: Unbelievable

Liangzhou is not a prosperous city, and the villages outside Liangzhou have basically been looted by the Western Turks, let alone prosperous.

To put it bluntly, outside the city of Liangzhou, there are dozens of miles in a radius and a desolate place.

Niu Jinda rushed out of the city gate with 3,000 cavalry and went straight to Liangye Valley.

I hope that His Royal Highness the King of Chu can hold on, if a Tang prince is captured by the Western Turks, it will be ugly.

As the initiator, Li Kuan started the return journey with some of the guards.

As soon as he came out of the valley, he didn't have a stick of incense, and he ran into Niu Jinda, who came quickly.

"Lord Wang, are you okay?" Seeing Li Kuan's limbs sound in front of him, Niu Jinda breathed a sigh of relief.

What can I do?

Didn't they all tell you that they defeated the Western Turks and let the defenders of Liangzhou come over to clean up the battlefield?

"General Niu, everything is fine with this king!"

"Didn't you run into the Western Turks? Didn't you say that the Western Turks were in front of the Liangye Valley? ”

Li Kuan looked at Niu Jinda suspiciously, "Yes, the 20,000 or so Western Turks have all settled in Liangye Valley during this time." ”

Niu Jinda: "That...... Don't...... Could it be that the Western Turks let you go? ”

Li Kuan finally understood Niu Jinda's thoughts, and his face suddenly fell.

Feelings: Until now, you still don't believe that this king can destroy the Western Turks.

"General Niu will go to Liangye Valley to have a look for himself, and I'll leave it to you."

After Li Kuan finished speaking, he didn't bother to pay attention to Niu Jinda, and went back with the escort, and at the same time did not forget to let people inform the guards who were still in Liangye Valley and hurry back to the city.

In this Liangzhou City, it seems that there is no need for me to continue to stay.

However, how to say that Liangzhou is also its own fiefdom, it is a pity not to use the great resources on the grassland, let Wang Fugui first set up the caravan of the Chu Wangfu in Liangzhou City, and then find a way to see if he can get the wool textile process out.

Although the elite of the Western Turks has been wiped out today, the grassland peoples cannot be killed, the key is to control them economically, and completely tie their interests with the Tang Dynasty, so naturally there is no need to worry about them rebelling again.

Not to mention that the guards of the Chu Palace's palace happily returned to the city, Niu Jinda led the cavalry to Liangye Valley, and before they reached the mouth of the valley, they smelled a special smell of meat.

"Wow, it smells like barbecue, and after more than an hour, I suddenly feel so hungry."

"It's a little strange how there are so many vultures in the sky today."

"How much meat does this have to be roasted to have such a strong taste, these vultures can't be attracted by the smell of meat."

"Look, there's a pack of wolves over there, it looks like something big must have happened nearby, otherwise the wolves wouldn't have come so quickly."

"Why do I think there is a smell of blood in this meaty smell?"

"Everyone, don't ramble there, just go into the valley and have a look."

"Hey, there's a corpse of a Western Turk there."

"There seems to be one there, too."

The closer you get to the mouth of the valley, the more various voices come from the procession of Niu Jinda.

A lot of people have already sensed that something is wrong with the atmosphere, and there's definitely something big going on around here.

Niu Jinda naturally realized this, clamped the horse's belly with his feet, and rushed to the front.

The view inside the valley is very good, all the grass is burned and smooth, and the view is naturally very good.

The further inside, the quieter the group became.

Except for the occasional neighing of the horses, not a single person in the procession of 3,000 people spoke.

Everyone was stunned.

No one who has any eyesight can see what is happening in the valley.

The many remaining tents, flags, and charcoal-like corpses and horses testify to a terrible fire.

Judging by the appearance, the Western Turks are unlucky.

Although I don't know if it's all lost here, but the vitality is absolutely damaged.

"General, the last general probably investigated, according to the size of the tent and horse corpses, at least 20,000 people were stationed here before, the last general roughly estimated, just can distinguish the corpses of people, more than 5,000, plus some may be burned, or difficult to identify for a while, the last general thinks that the Western Turks have lost at least 10,000 elites."

Although he already had an estimate in his heart, Niu Jinda was still stunned when he heard the report of his subordinates.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu said that he was going out of the city to destroy the Western Turks, wasn't he joking?

How did he do it?

Are the Western Turks stupid, just standing there and letting the guards of the Chu Palace, set it on fire?

I can't figure it out!

It shouldn't be!

But facts speak louder than words.

"Send someone back to Liangzhou City, bring half of the infantry to clean up the battlefield, in addition, bring more stretchers and carriages and horses, there are a lot of horses here, pull them back and add food to the people of Liangzhou."

If Li Kuan was by Niu Jinda's side at this time, it is estimated that he would not want to eat meat in the next few days.

Many horses and the corpses of the Western Turks were poured together, and such horse meat ......

Can you still eat it?

Anyway, Li Kuan felt sick to his stomach when he thought about it.

However, for the people who have suffered from the scourge of the Western Turks, perhaps it is a different feeling.

"Send someone to expedite another 800 miles, send a letter to Chang'an City, and say that Liangzhou is a great victory! Later, Ben will send someone to send it after the inventory is clear. ”

The situation in Liangzhou is very worrying to the imperial court, which Niu Jinda is very clear about.

Although the results of this fire are not very clear now, but thinking of the graceful return of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, presumably the Western Turks should have fallen into bad luck, right?

……

In the city tower of Liangzhou City, the deputy general Zhang Quan looked nervously at the team slowly coming in the distance.

"General Niu followed the guards of the Chu Wangfu out of the city to rescue the prince, but now this team is obviously the guard of the Chu Wangfu, and there is no one from his own general, so the general has encountered the Western Turks?"

Zhang Quan watched with a worried look on his face as the team got closer and closer.

"General Zhang, open the city gate!"

Xue Li saw that the gate of Liangzhou City was closed, and the fast horse came to the city first.

Zhang Quan was entangled.

But when Niu Jinda left, he said that no one was allowed to leave the city unless he came back in person, or if a holy decree had arrived.

Now that the prince is back, and the general is not there, will he open the city gate or not?

It's obviously impossible not to open, the general just said that he couldn't go out of the city, and I greeted the prince at the gate of the city, which is not a violation of the military order, right?

Li Kuan is the rightful master of Liangzhou City, and no matter how entangled Zhang Quan is, he doesn't dare not let him in.

Soon, the gates opened.

And the news that the guards of the Chu Wangfu destroyed the Western Turkic army immediately spread throughout the defenders of Liangzhou City with the guards of the big mouth, and then spread all over Liangzhou City!

The 1,000-strong escort wiped out the 20,000 Western Turkic army, which is completely unbelievable!
