Chapter 208 Dingzhou is in trouble, and Li Ji comes to help
When the news of the pacification of Suzhou reached Chang'an, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing out loud in the court.
"Wu'er, great contribution to the country, I am very gratified!"
The other two armies also had good news, but they didn't have as many results as Li Fangchen's side.
There is also a piece of news that came to Chang'an at the same time.
The Dingzhou rebellion has ended, and the rebel leader Cui Shuangming was killed by Su Lie, and more than 37,000 people were captured, of which more than 3,000 people from the direct family of Boling Cui became prisoners.
Liu Renliang was ordered to press the people of the Boling Cui family to Chang'an, and Li Chengdao, the king of Anlu, was also among the prisoners.
After all of them were sent to Chang'an, they were handed over to Li Shimin for disposal.
"Spread my will, and ordered Li Ji to lead the remaining 20,000 troops to Suzhou and obey the orders of the King of Qin."
In addition to compliments, the hundred officials were more curious, and they wondered why Li Shimin did not allow the army of King Qin to go to support the other two routes after the Suzhou battle order was over.
Why did you send Li Ji over?
After thinking about it carefully, I couldn't help but marvel, I didn't expect our Majesty to be so ambitious.
It seems that this time the Turks will have to shed a layer of skin even if they don't die!
In fact, this matter was really not ordered by Li Shimin, and when he saw the twists and turns sent back by Wei Zheng, he already understood Li Fangchen's plan.
The two states were slaughtered, resulting in the death of the city, and in this case, Li Shimin was also furious in his heart.
When he saw Li Fangchen defeat the Turkic army to which Mo Heshe belonged and used its wolf ride and human head as a sacrifice, he already understood that Yu'er obviously did not intend to end here, and he had a bigger plan. Otherwise, it is indispensable to escort Mo Heshe back to Chang'an.
I heard that those who were going back to Chang'an, in addition to the 5,000 Tang Army who escorted nearly 40,000 Turkic prisoners, there was also a team of wounded soldiers of the White Wolf Army. At that time, we will definitely meet and see what kind of brave people they are, and in the excerpts that Wei Zheng passed back, these "white wolves" are highly respected and highly valued.
The letter went back and forth, relying on the carrier pigeons of the Qin Palace, and the loss was that Li Fangchen did not kill the twelve earth branches at the beginning, otherwise he would have to waste about eight days if he wanted to be a horse, not to mention that he would waste about eight days.
It only took two days to go back and forth, and in order to ensure that the news could be transmitted to Suzhou steadily, Li Shimin even ordered a ban on the killing of pigeons.
If this is in case a child of leather is knocked down from the sky and caught and roasted, how should the sage's oracle be sent to Suzhou at that time?
Two pigeons fly together for each round trip, and if one of them gets lost, the other is guaranteed to arrive.
Li Fangchen stayed in Suzhou City, ordered to wait for Li Ji and others to lead the army to arrive, and at the same time sent a team to Yumen Pass.
After verification, it was determined that the Turks in the Yumen Pass had been evacuated.
If they continue to stay, they are very worried that they will fall into the hands of the Tang army like the previous army.
There are a few rumors in the steppe that the Tang army cannibalized people, and many Turks were used as dry food by them.
Especially Turkic men who love to eat, the taller the more delicious they are.
Outside the Yumen Pass, it originally belonged to the Western Turkic territory, and now belongs to the Turkic Han State.
Unfortunately, the time for Jieli Khan to subdue the Western Turks was too small, and the gap between the Eastern and Western Turks often led to conflicts.
This time, at the request of Jieli Khan, Moshe led the army to the expedition, which in the eyes of the Western Turks was completely a tiger's beard.
You see, the Tang Dynasty was enraged, and the King of Qin led the army to conquer in person, breaking 60,000 to 60,000, what a great achievement?
This news has not yet reached the ears of Jieli and Tuli, otherwise the two will definitely withdraw from the army, and it is really terrible to have this precedent.
"Your Highness, the army under the command of the British Duke Li Ji has seven days to reach Suzhou."
Li Fangchen yawned, waved his hand to show that he knew, and then sighed, "If it weren't for waiting for them, this king would have already brought people into the grassland!" ”
On the side, Qin Qiong and Chai Shaoduo had a wry smile, and Wei Zheng also had a black line on his face.
"Your Highness, why don't we go to support the Duke of Wei and the King of Hejian first?"
Li Fangchen glared at this Wei Heizi, "Horses step on the grassland and avenge the blood feud between Gansu and Su!" ”
"But Your Highness, now that there are still people in my Tang Dynasty who are still suffering from war, why don't you help the other two armies and horses to break the enemy first?"
Li Fangchen hit the case and drank, "Wei Zheng!" This king just doesn't want them to descend too quickly, don't you really understand? ”
Wei Zheng hesitated slightly, he just felt that it was good to repel it, so why spend manpower on the grassland?
What's more, according to the tragic situation in Ganzhou and Suzhou, it is really against the morality in his heart to take revenge on the Turks.
Li Fangchen said angrily, "Repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue?" ”
"But they always are"
"The Tang Dynasty doesn't need a white-eyed wolf who respects the suzerain's country on the surface, and this king doesn't need to rely on this victory to win his name before and after his death. If they do something wrong, they will have to pay the price, and this king doesn't mind repeating the wolf Juxu, let alone making history! ”
"Well said!"
Chai Shao and Qin Qiong are definitely the main battle faction, but they are not handsome and cannot be ordered.
Far less powerful than Li Fangchen, in other words, if they were handsome, they might really act as Wei Zheng said.
"If that's the case, then the subordinates think that His Highness doesn't have to wait for the Duke of Wei Guo any longer!"
Li Fangchen stared at Wei Zheng tightly, "Beat around the bush, isn't it good to say something outright?" ”
Wei Zheng suddenly laughed and said, "Such an earth-shattering achievement, my subordinates don't want to share it with many people!" ”
Since you can't convert the other person, choose to join.
Li Fangchen rolled his eyes, this old thing was definitely premeditated, it was completely a play, and when he returned to Chang'an in the future, if others asked, Wei Zheng would have an excuse to get out, right?
"In this case, I will order the generals under my command to reorganize their armies and fight, and tomorrow morning, the troops will be sent to Yumen Pass!"
"Yes!"
Chai Shao seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but snicker, "Your Highness, you said, if you let Li Ji see this empty city in Suzhou, will he go crazy?" ”
Li Fangchen rubbed his eyebrows, "Do you want to leave a team of people waiting for them?" ”
"But, but who to leave behind?"
Yu Guang looked at the military tent indiscriminately, and finally fixed on Chai Zhewei, who had not yet recovered from his injuries.
Chai Zhewei's face suddenly turned bitter, "Your Highness, your subordinates' injuries have really healed, you must not leave me behind, I still want to follow you to the royal court!" ”
"The opposition is invalid, not to mention that this king needs you to stay and make some arrangements for this king, just be obedient."
On the side, Qin Huaiyu secretly gestured to Chai Zhewei, and the angry other party scratched his ears and cheeks, and he was very unhappy.
"Your Highness, why don't we leave Master Wei behind? There are Turkic people everywhere in this steppe, Lord Wei is not a military general, if something goes wrong, then you must not do it! ”
Chai Zhewei's eyes flashed, and he instantly hit Wei Zheng with his idea.
Wei Zheng stepped forward and knocked on Chai Zhewei's head, "When does the old man need someone to protect him?" What if he can go on the field and kill a few Turkic dogs, what if the old man loses his life? ”
Everyone's eyelids jumped, this old guy doesn't tell lies, it seems that he has a lot of grievances in his heart. An old civil official, who has been influenced by Confucian culture, can even say the words "Turkic dog"?
"Your Highness, rest assured, the three-foot Qingfeng is in hand, and the gentleman's six arts are by his side, no matter how bad it is, he can put two arrows!"
Seeing Wei Zheng's almost scoundrel appearance, Chai Zhewei retreated and obediently stayed to wait for Li Ji.
There are also 3,000 foot soldiers left.
