The strange formation led by the prince himself turned a large-scale battle into a fight between various small teams.

When the captain of the Xuanjia Army found that the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army who fell to the ground were all soldiers of the Xuanjia Army, he realized that something was wrong and ordered to gather as much as possible, because he found that these scattered remnants of the soldiers were not as vulnerable as they imagined, but rather quite tricky.

The order was given but could not be conveyed everywhere, and the six teams that were scattered were like vicious wolves outside the pack, and they could always take many of them with a little probe.

Seeing that his honor, the Xuanjia Army, has now been surrounded and beaten by the prince himself, Li Shimin was in a hurry, and couldn't help but ask Li Jing beside him: "Li Jing, I ask you, what kind of formation is this led by the prince?" Why have I never seen it? ”

Li Jing smiled, fully enjoying the inquisitive gaze of the generals before saying, "Actually, this is not a formation. The old man has studied the art of war for many years, and only then did he know that the so-called formation is just a small path in the art of war, which is needed by general-level figures in small-scale battles, not by the army. Like dealing with the Eastern Turks, although Weichen also applied some of the essence of the Six Flowers Array on the Six Route Army, there were not many.

Your Majesty, do you still remember the words of 'using soldiers with strange righteousness' played by you and me? In fact, what the prince just used was the art of strange soldiers, and the order he gave was not a change of formation, but, hehe..."

"Free to play!"

"Free-for-all?"

Li Shimin looked at the chaotic battlefield, the prince's personal lead was obviously free play, but why did the Xuanjia Army look like the beaten side now?

Li Chengqian, who was standing on horseback, looked at his feet, felt dizzy for no reason, and hurriedly dismounted and let Zhang Yun hold himself up to see the battlefield.

There was once a philosophical discourse called "looking at the mountain is a mountain, looking at the mountain is not a mountain, looking at the mountain is still a mountain". In fact, the way of battle formation is the same, the art of war can indeed effectively give full play to the strength of the army, and the formation can indeed win more with less, but what really wants to play a role is still not to seek rules.

Just don't ask for rules! What a battle formation! Under the leadership of their respective squad leaders, you can do it. Li Chengqian is still a little self-aware, and being smart will not be effective in such a righteous and bright occasion. If Li Jing came to command the prince himself, maybe he could really take the Xuanjia Army with a small loss, but he didn't have those few brushes, so he could only let his subordinates play freely.

Now it seems that the effect is good, and the prince's personal rate, with the squad leader as the center of action, is like turning into six independent armies, which makes the Xuanjia army anxious.

But that's pretty much it, that's the end of it.

The Xuanjia Army's losses only lasted for a while, and when their lineup recovered, it was the crown prince who began to be beaten.

Although the physical fitness of the veterans of a hundred battles is not as good as that of the "rich soldiers" led by the prince himself, their combat experience is not comparable to them. The soldiers will be in groups of three or five, gathering or scattering, and they will too. In this way, the victory and defeat are back to five or five.

Looking at the battlefield from afar, you can get a glimpse of the whole picture. Faced with such a scene, several generals couldn't help but clench their fists, only to feel their blood boiling. It was obviously a drill, but whether it was the Xuanjia Army or the soldiers led by the prince himself, they were extremely resolute. Many soldiers who were beaten to the ground would rather be beaten down again than give up.

The civilian officials were also amazed, they had experienced troubled times, and they also had an impression of the combat effectiveness of the army, and now the army with clouds of dust rolling up on the dry grass of the plain is really strong!

In comparison, Tang Jian is more chicken thieves, and he is in the envoy team, and he is high-spirited and keeps pointing at the battlefield, either saying that the Xuanjia Army has not fought during this period of time and has become obese, or that the prince himself is a few baby soldiers, and he only knows how to bury his head and rush forward. Although he said "modest", he always revealed a news in and out of his words - such an army, I still have more than 300,000 in Datang!

The matter of the Tang Dynasty's more than 100,000 troops being dispatched to kill the Eastern Turks is naturally clear to these envoys. Seeing that the army on the plain was so strong, he was naturally frightened. It seems that the decision of the monarch of his own country is right, with such national strength and such an army, today's Central Plains people are no longer powerless merry scholars. The hat of "Tian Khan" was given to this emperor and surrendered to the Central Plains, which was better than a real fight.

Looking at the envoys who were slowly becoming more and more respectful and their waists were bent down more and more, the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty couldn't help but be proud.

is like this, as long as the country is strong, the emperors, military generals, civil servants, and even ordinary people within the country will have confidence when facing foreign people.

The Western Turks and other big countries are doing a little better, and the Silla Baekje, and even the Japanese people, are eager to fold their waists in half at this time!

Living in Chang'an these days, I have gradually figured out the strength of Datang. The Eastern Turks were killed, and it was definitely not accidental!

The envoy of the Western Turks, Tonghuye, suddenly broke away from the envoy's ranks, and after signing up to approach the emperor, he said: "Your Majesty the Tang Emperor, watching this battle today, you know the great prestige of the Tang Dynasty. In the past, my khan hoped to marry the princess of the Tang Kingdom, but he was hindered by the scum of Jieli, so he had to give up. Now that Jieli has been arrested, the villain is not talented, and he is willing to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty for my Khan, and the two countries will be good forever, how about it? ”

How is it?

The ministers couldn't help but look at the emperor, if they got married, it would be really good, at least the pressure in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty would be much less.

Glancing at the battlefield where the fighting was still going, Li Shimin let go of half of his position, revealing the prince who was being held up by Zhang Yun to watch the battlefield.

"Cheng Qian, what do you think?"

For Li Shimin, the marriage proposal of the Western Turks can be said to be a great thing, as long as the two countries marry, no matter which country, when facing the surrounding small countries, they can gain enough confidence, without worrying about whether it will affect the whole body. But when I think about my girls, I don't want them to suffer. Find a random clan girl to be a princess? Presumably such a formal marriage, the Western Turks would be reluctant.

What do I think? I'm being held up to watch.

Although he was attentive to the battlefield, he heard the words of the Western Turkic envoys.

After pondering for a while, Li Chengqian arched his hand, faced the countless eyes around him, and said to the emperor: "Father, the emperor, the sons and daughters feel that it is inappropriate, and it is the disrespect of the other party to marry with the Western Turks and not to use the princess of their relatives. But the sisters are still young, and the Western Turks want to marry, I'm afraid they will have to wait a few years, how can this work? So, Erchen has a suggestion, why don't you let them marry a princess. Erchen is eleven this year, and he will be able to get married in two or three years, isn't this a good thing? Although it is a bit condescending to be a side concubine as a Turkic princess, but after the son succeeds to the throne, she will be named a concubine, which is enough to show my Tang Dynasty's bearing! ”

After saying this, Li Chengqian got a chance to look around.

The sight that had just been pinned to him like a sharp arrow did not disappear.

How can I say that the original sharp arrow has become a soft cotton thread?

For the Tang monarchs, the prince's words just now are really shocking!

Let an alien princess marry?

This one.... There has never been a precedent!

Compared with the sluggish emperor and Wenchen, the generals applauded, feng shui took turns, and it was time for foreigners to marry their daughters in the Central Plains!

The Central Plains has always been a kingdom, although there are times when the country is weak, but it is generally the Central Plains princess who marries a foreign country.

One is the blood statistics of the Central Plains royal family, and the other is the blood statistics of assimilated foreign races. (I remember a detailed explanation before, so I won't go into details)

But the prince said that he would not make a foreign woman a concubine, so that....

Seems feasible?

Compared with the Tang monarchs and ministers who gradually wanted to agree, the sweat on Tonghuye's head flowed out!

Special mother, we don't want the princess, the daughter of the clan will be! As long as the dowry brought by your princess and the craftsmen are enough, you can say anything! If it weren't for the dowry and the craftsmen who came over with the dowry, who would scarce you.... Ahem.

But he didn't dare to say these words. The words of the prince of the Tang Dynasty are really blocking people, and everyone has said that it is not that the princess is not qualified to marry with the Western Turks, such an attitude can be regarded as the Tang Dynasty's respect for the Western Turks, if it is torn apart, wouldn't it be a self-surrender identity?

However, if you agree, isn't it still self-surrendering? After all, it has always been the Central Plains to marry a daughter to a foreigner, how can it be reversed?

Although Li Shimin hopes that his son will marry a serious Han family girl so that he can wash away his own bloodline, but since the prince has said so, um....

It seems that it is not bad to find yourself a Western Turkic son-in-law?

couldn't help but raise his head to face the envoy of the Western Turks, Li Shimin smiled and said: "Well, the prince is reasonable, and I also think that it is a good choice for you Western Turks to marry a princess in the Central Plains." How's that, what do you think? ”

Tonghuye's brain was a little overwhelmed for a while, and he hurriedly said: "It is the honor of my Western Turks to marry the princess of my clan to the Tang Dynasty, but this time, the Khan only asked to marry the princess, such a big thing, but it is not a villain A small envoy can call the shots." I also hope that His Majesty the Tang Emperor will allow me to return to the Western Turks, and make it clear that I am the Khan, and the Khan will definitely give a satisfactory answer to the Tang Dynasty! ”

Li Shimin smiled and nodded, if the marriage between the two parties hit it off becomes a marriage between the other party on the pole and begging for marriage, it is not bad.

In a good mood, he turned his head to look at the battlefield, but the wild fruits he was playing with fell to the ground.

But because the matter of the Western Turks was delayed for a while, why was it all over?

Li Chengqian also grew his mouth, at this time, the battlefield was full of soldiers who fell to the ground, whether it was the Xuanjia Army or the prince's personal leadership, there was no one standing.

Occasionally, a soldier of the Xuanjia Army wanted to stand up, and he would be dragged to the ground by the soldiers led by the prince who supported him to get up, or vice versa.

Anyway, standing, not a single one!

No, maybe two!

From a distance, I can vaguely see that there seem to be two people still standing, but two big men are sweating, but they are hugging each other and standing, just like that, from time to time, one person has accumulated some strength and wants to knock down the other person in his arms.

Well, it hurts both sides.

Seeing that it was not the Xuanjia Army that was defeated, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that it was not the crown prince who led the rout, Li Chengqian also breathed a sigh of relief.

From the style of the armor, you can probably guess that the guy is Yu Tai. Eyeless! It's all hit to this extent, and you don't know how to fall down quickly? Now that the foreign envoys are here, you can save some face for the emperor!

"Damn it, Yutai, don't fall, press that bastard you're holding to his stomach!"

Although he shouted like this, Li Chengqian took out a purple flag and waved it up and down.

It is impossible to wave the white flag openly, because the saying of raising the white flag and surrendering has appeared since the Han Dynasty.

In the distance, I could see the one in black armor, and finally pressed Yu Tai to the ground.

Seeing that Yu Tai really confessed, Li Chengqian could only let Zhang Yun put himself down, bowed down and saluted the emperor's father: "Father's Xuanjia Army is really powerful, and now only the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army are still standing in the field, so naturally Erchen lost." ”

When facing a creature like the emperor, you can't take care of your own face, and in the same case, you can admit that an act like obsessiveness and loss of thinking power can be done once or twice, but in the long run, it is not advisable.

Sure enough, it was obviously a miserable victory, but Li Shimin laughed, and immediately ordered to reward the Xuanjia Army and the prince himself, the same reward, I didn't see any preferential treatment.

The battle is over, and the next thing is to save the wounded, the prince and the people of the Xuanjia Army are very measured, and the most serious injury is just a bone crack. Although it is not a good thing for their own armies to fight each other, since they want to show their national strength in front of foreign races, the ministers have nothing to blame the emperor. Even Wei Zheng, after learning of the soldiers' compensation, chose to keep silent.

Because, it's really rich.

The crown prince and Li Jing trained their troops well, so they were also rewarded.

But these two are already a little numb, Li Jing is because he has received too many rewards, and he doesn't bother to remember how many times, while Li Chengqian is naturally numb because he doesn't like that little thing.

After a perfect almost impeccable salute thanking the emperor for his reward, Li Chengqian walked to his horse.

I heard that it was a good horse sent by the Kumoxi tribe, but it was a little fierce, and someone needed to hold the reins.

In the end, the emperor will not always pit his son, according to Zhang Yun, this horse was carefully selected by the emperor from the tribute, and it is the most handsome war horse.

What does it matter to me if you are not handsome?

Lisuo turned over and got on the horse, Li Chengqian slandered the horse as a means of transportation, others are galloping on horses, and when they get to themselves, they become horseback trotting, there is always a Zhang Yun who leads the horse in front of him, and the image must be completely ruined!

The emperor rode a horse with hundreds of civil and military officials in the middle, and the Xuanjia army that had recovered its physical strength was in front and behind. And Li Chengqian was led by Zhang Yun, phew, sitting on the horse led by Zhang Yun in the middle and rear part of the team, about to collide with the envoy team.

The dignified prince can't get in front of him, how can this be embarrassing?

Out of the Qinling Mountains, there is a spacious official road, such a smooth road is just suitable for riding horses and galloping, and there is no shadow of a large team in front of it.

Zhang Yun ran on the side of the road and said to the prince with a smile: "Your Highness, don't be angry, didn't Your Majesty reward you with this war horse?" When you grow taller, there will be a day when you will be able to ride a horse on your own. ”

As long as people are distracted, something will happen, even the so-called masters are no exception.

Before Zhang Yun turned his head, he was pasted to the side by a low branch, and when he saw the variety of the tree, Li Chengqian was afraid for a while. Fortunately, Zhang Yun had his head sideways, and if he had put on a jujube tree face to face, he might have hurt his eyes.

But before he finished worrying about Zhang Yun, he felt that the horse under his ass had run out, and then looked at Zhang Yun's hand, where was there still a rein?

"! Zhang Yun, hurry up and lead the horse! ”

The eight words were all dispersed by the wind pouring into his mouth, and Li Chengqian found that the war horse under his crotch had galloped, and he had the meaning of not giving up until he ran to death.

It's over!

Looking at the trees and flowers that kept flashing on both sides of the road, Li Chengqian could only hold on to the back of the horse. The reins were near the joints of the horse's front legs, but no matter how much he gripped them, he couldn't catch them.

What's it like to sit on a runaway race-grade motorcycle?

That's how it feels right now!

The war horse ran so fast that it even seemed to knock down a few people, and the sergeant could vaguely be heard chanting "The prince's horse is startled".

There was no way to reply, so he could only use his two hands to grasp the mane of the horse's neck, and lower his body as low as possible so as not to hit any branch.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I will become one of the materials for speeding and teaching PPT in the future!

It was found that Li Chengqian's horse was shocked more than once, because the speed of this war horse was really fast, and even the Xuanjia Army in the rear team was left behind.

In the middle of the team was the emperor and the civil and military officials, and when they heard the exclamations from behind, everyone looked back and suddenly broke their hearts! Because the one who lies on the galloping war horse is the prince!

"Prince!"

Wei Chigong exclaimed in surprise, and immediately stretched out his right hand, but he grabbed a void. The galloping war horse immediately threw the stunned and stopped monarch behind him.

"Save the prince!"

I don't know who shouted, and everyone took out their horsewhips one after another and slapped them hard on the buttocks of the war horses.

It's not one or two who break their necks while riding a horse, if something happens to the prince, the sky will fall apart!

"Cheng Qian!"

Li Shimin was the last to react, but he drove the war horse to rush to the second position, and on the butt of his war horse, there was a sharp knife!

This is a chase and rescue, rushing in the first place is the stubbornness of the mind, his war horse is the best war horse in the grassland, plus his riding skills are smart, so he rushes the fastest.

It's just that a person who has been moving at a uniform speed and is still chasing with acceleration, how can it catch up? So he could only watch the prince's war horse in front of him, but he couldn't catch up.

With a long sigh, he didn't hesitate to pull out the scimitar and stick it into the butt of the war horse. Now even if he is killed by a fall, he can't care about it, as long as he can save the prince, he can repay His Majesty's kindness!

No matter how much a person can persevere, he also has his own limits.

Li Chengqian didn't have the object to confide in at this time, so he couldn't tell how difficult he was at the moment.

The crotch was sharpened by the saddle, because it was lying on his stomach, and his little brother was the most offended.

But it's nothing, after all, the material of the saddle is quite soft. The most terrible thing is the mane on the horse's neck, and under the constant pulling, it can only make the war horse more and more frightened. After running for so long, I can even feel the horse's saliva flying into my face, but wouldn't it be even worse if I let go?

Li Chengqian could only pray that this damn horse would stop quickly, as long as its speed slowed down, he would definitely jump off the horse to escape as soon as possible.

But it backfired, and just when Li Chengqian felt that the horsehair in his left hand was very small, and he wanted to grab it again, the horsehair in the palm of his right hand also slipped off.

And then, there is the fall, and, the boundless darkness....

The stubborn mind that followed saw the prince fall off his horse and fall on the side of the road, not caring that he would be injured, stopped the war horse alive, and then sent himself out with that momentum.

A roll on the ground dissipated the strength of his body, and then he ran and rushed to the prince's side.

He was relieved when he saw the prince's still heaving chest, but he was shaken when he saw a pool of blood on the ground.

If a war horse of such speed falls, no matter where it is injured, it is a serious injury!
