Traveling all the way, Li Fangchen never imagined that the Turkic road would be so difficult.

Since he left Chang'an, it has been four months, and no one thought of it.

His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who was still smiling and rarely angry four months ago, became a completely different person when he arrived in the Turks.

Forever gloomy, no one knows what he's thinking.

No one will know that in the middle of the night, His Royal Highness King Qin often has difficulty sleeping.

Those two dead cities were like two mountains, pressing down on him.

Breathless, unable to vent.

He wanted to slaughter the entire Western Turks, but he understood that this was not allowed from the perspective of the Tang Dynasty.

A long time ago, Li Yuan taught him the way of a gentleman, and the rites of the six arts covered tolerance and benevolence.

"Look, you'll be blinding in no time!"

Perhaps only by capturing the royal court can Li Fangchen relax.

"I want to use the Turkic royal court to seal the wolf Juxu, and I want all the Turkic tribes to know that from today onwards, everything the Tang army wants is Tang soil!"

The cold wind at night slipped into the military tent, Li Fangchen couldn't help but wrap the futon tightly around his body, listening to the outside of the military tent, the wind was howling, a little sad.

The further you go, the more difficult the road becomes, which is simply a torture for the Tang people who are used to the Central Plains.

Many soldiers have already suffered from altitude sickness, and in severe cases, it is even life-threatening.

There was no way, Li Fangchen first paused the pace of marching, intending to let the army adapt to the climatic conditions here first.

Simply teach the military doctor, some methods of rapid oxygen supply, and how to calm the tension and uneasiness in people's hearts in the state of hypoxia.

Because the difficulty of the previous training is different from that of other armies, the physique of the White Wolf Army is relatively good, and most of them adapt quickly without any problems.

But the other two bathrooms have had a lot of trouble.

There are 15,000 people in total, including more than 800 people, who are really unable to adapt to altitude sickness.

Forced to be helpless, Li Fangchen had no choice but to arrange for Sixteen, take them back, and go to find Li Ji.

After the attrition, the problem happened again, and it was much more serious than Li Fangchen imagined.

The higher it gets, the greater the temperature difference between day and night, and the disease of wind and cold appears in the army, and it spreads very widely.

In later generations, a problem that could be solved by a cold medicine has become a life-threatening note here, and dozens or even hundreds of people will fall ill with each beat.

Half of those dozens of doctors were infected, and seeing that the situation was urgent, Qin Qiong and Chai Shao discussed sending His Royal Highness King Qin out of here, and he must not let His Highness have a problem.

"Don't talk nonsense, this king will not leave, unless this king is dead, and the bones are sent back to Chang'an! Otherwise, all you have to do is obey and obey! ”

It's a pity that as soon as this idea was proposed, it was scolded back by Li Fangchen with a word.

Plateau cold, if you are not careful, it is pulmonary edema, and you must not be careless.

Li Fangchen sat cross-legged on the ground and meditated, thinking about the cure for the root.

If it is not healed in time, this army of more than 15,000 people will lose the lives of more than 10,000 people!

Where is there any way, after thinking for a long time, Li Fangchen could only forcibly order the army to retreat and leave the highest point first.

One by one, if one is not careful, he may die because of it.

Li Fangchen was very anxious, this was even more uncomfortable than his own illness, that famous soldier was the most valuable talent in Datang!

"Boil!"

Set up dozens of cauldrons, Li Fangchen removed the materials in the army, and didn't want to put them in like capital.

The rice and dried meat quickly boiled out the fragrance, and Li Fangchen also sprinkled a large handful of salt, and the men in the army had a strong taste.

Let the people feed them one by one, and then integrate the bedding of the whole army, cover them, and the campfire did not stop all night.

Some of them were already unresponsive, Li Fangchen asked him to take off his clothes, rub his whole body with wine, and then continue to do cardiac resuscitation.

After unremitting efforts, seven out of ten people survived.

In just seven days, in just these seven days, the Tang army has been sharply reduced by three percent, and no one could have imagined that a wind chill almost made Li Fangchen annihilate the army!

But seventy percent of those who survived were extremely respectful to King Qin. Except for Li Fangchen, all the people could see the efforts made by King Qin before, and they knew very well that if it weren't for King Qin, only two percent might survive, or even less.

If the king of Qin orders, the army rushes forward to die!

If King Qin orders, all the armies will obey!

But Li Fangchen felt uncomfortable in his heart, Sancheng! More than 4,500 brothers lost their lives, and the reason for this was that he Li Fangchen wanted to attack the royal court and seal the wolf Juxu's selfishness!

Just because Li Fangchen wanted to attack the royal court, they died of illness on the battlefield before they could die on the battlefield.

That night, Li Fangchen was also sick, groggy and anxious to everyone.

Fortunately, it was not the wind and cold, otherwise Qin Qiong and Chai Shao would choose to directly give up attacking the royal court.

In the summer of the fifth year of Zhenguan, on July 13, Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo of the Tang Dynasty, defeated the Turkic Jieli Khan, and the other party was defeated and fled.

In the summer of the fifth year of Zhenguan, on July 22, Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, defeated the Turkic Turki Khan, 50,000 Turkic soldiers were all wiped out, and the leader Tuli was beheaded and sent back to Chang'an.

He thought that they would return to the court, but he did not want the two armies to march towards the Turks at the same time.

On the other side, the British Duke Li Ji sent back the news that the remaining seventeen tribes of the Western Turks were all willing to surrender!

As the first meritorious King of Qin, Li Chengyu, has not been contacted so far, and it has been more than two months since he lost news.

Li Shimin issued an edict overnight, allowing Li Jing and Li Xiaogong to enter the Turks, in order to know why the King of Qin has not seen any trace of him.

Unbeknownst to him, somewhere in the mountains of the Eastern Turks, an army of more than 9,000 men galloped out on horseback.

"I finally came out, I was lost for half a month, and I don't know what the situation is on the side of the two princes!"

"Your Highness is too worried, my army of the Tang Dynasty will definitely win!"

"Whew!"

"Aurora, you bite Wuqing (Li Fangchen's horse) again, beware of this king chopping you!"

"Woo ......"

At the front of the team was Li Fangchen, the whole army was a little messy at the moment, and there was still a trace of unnatural redness on his face, which was completely a sequelae left by altitude sickness.

In addition to relief, there was also a hint of heaviness in his expression, and immediately there was a small package, which contained their brother's bone meal and relics.

Seventeen of them were also carrying the same package behind them, and there were twenty-one teenagers in the Qin Wangfu, and six people left.

Five thousand four hundred! More than 5,400 people died on the way, which is unimaginable!

In addition to the wind chill, there were also various threats from the terrain and suddenness, which also caused the army to be reduced again. Once you get sick, there seems to be only one end result!

The burden on their shoulders is heavier, they must step on the royal court, if not, how can they be worthy of those brothers who have died?

"Your Highness, according to the map, we should be near the Hui tribe now!"

"How far is it from the other party's royal court?"

"More than four hundred miles!"

"Tell the brethren to prepare for the sake of seven days' time when we will drink in the royal court!"

It is not a problem to travel a hundred miles a day, and if you count the time for repairing, seven days is not too much.

I have to say that it is still good that most of the horses under him are from the Turks. This allowed them to suffer heavy losses without much problem with the horses.

One person and two horses, with more horses, were finally made into jerky by the hungry Tang army, otherwise the little military ration would have starved to death.

There are still 4,000 people left in the White Wolf Army, which is good, and there are 2,000 people left in the Right Guard, plus the remaining 3,000 people in the Right Guard, this is the entire strength in Li Fangchen's hands.

Everyone is holding their breath in their hearts, it's such a big crime, if you can't make the Turks look good, then what's the point of living?
