When Xiao Yi'er's problem was solved, Li Chengqian talked a lot with this little girl, and it wasn't until it was almost time to eat that Li Chengqian and Xiao Yi'er went back together.

This time, Li Chengqian saw that all his family members were here, and even Li You came back.

As soon as Li Chengqian arrived, Li Zhi and the others shouted for dinner.

"What kind of food to eat, the stinky boy is your glutton" Facing Li Zhi's coaxing, Li Chengqian glared at Li Zhi and them angrily.

Then he hurriedly walked out and told Xiao Anzi that he didn't have to go to the yellow stewed chicken and see the green hands.

Because Li Chengqian was afraid, although he knew that it was not poisonous when he saw that the green was cooked, he had tried it himself, but he still didn't dare to bet, after all, today's family came too together, his grandfather, his father and mother, all his aunts, and all his brothers and sisters in Chang'an, and his son, nephews and nieces, all of them were all here.

If something happens to the personal physique, or because of the improper operation of the bangs, it is really a family of four generations and a whole pot that does not fall.

If that's the case, the first great injustice in the ages will really fall on his Tang Li family, so because of this, Li Chengqian hurriedly asked Xiao Anzi to inform him that he didn't need to stew the yellow stewed chicken.

After instructing Xiao Anzi, Li Chengqian returned to the lobby without changing his face, as if it was nothing, after greeting the elders one by one, he watched his son and daughter and their uncles and aunts who were a little older than them playing there.

It is also because of their existence that countless joys have been added to this family dinner.

After all kinds of dishes were served, no one needed to say anything, smelling the fragrant fragrance, the whole family looked at Li Shimin, waiting for him to start moving the first chopsticks.

But Li Shimin didn't move, but turned his head to look at his father, Li Yuan, the founding king of the Tang Dynasty.

"Don't look at it, there are not so many rules in Gao Ming, what you want to eat, you can't let Gao Ming arrange it" Seeing this, Li Yuan first sandwiched a piece of charcoal-grilled matsutake mushrooms, and then said to everyone.

In this way, with Li Yuan's order, everyone who had already been impatient said thank you to Li Yuan, and then threw themselves into the battle of food.

Especially Li Wei, who had tasted it before, started very quickly.

And Li Shimin, who has never eaten it, also praised them after tasting them, and the frequency of moving chopsticks is also much higher.

In such a situation, these dishes were obviously not enough to eat, and in the end, after almost all the dishes were served all over again, except for the two cold dishes, the whole family was full.

After eating and drinking, the family went to the theater to watch the play at the suggestion of Li Chengqian, and they went back to rest until late at night.

Unlike his family in Chang'an, Li Cao, who was in the northwest battlefield at this time, was experiencing the first test in his life.

At this time, the small town of Taku, which she and her Feng Wei were stationing, was surrounded by the Western Turks.

"General, this Taku town is almost undefensible, you can quickly lead people to retreat!" Li Hao looked at Li Cao in front of him, who had led himself and others to defend Taku Town for two days and two nights, and admired it from the bottom of his heart, but now he had to suggest that Li Cao retreat.

After all, the current disparity in strength is too great, and they have been defending for two days and two nights, not counting casualties, and there are only 3,000 people who can still fight now.

And the traps they had prepared earlier, the horse piles, had all been destroyed in the previous battle, and there were not even many arrows.

"Retreat? How can we retreat now? We have lost the last chance to retreat, now give up the city wall, behind is an endless flat land, do you think we can run, this nearly 20,000 Western Turkic cavalry pursuit, and as long as this opening is opened, at this time the Western Turks who are passing through the Helin fortress will also evacuate to this side, and even these Western Turks, attacking the town of Taku, is to force the rescue of the fortress of Helin, and then they are ambushing, and take the opportunity to open the fortress of Helin, flee to the southwest, so we can't retreat, we can only defend the town of Taku" Li Cao looked at the Western Turkic camp encamped not far away, and said with a firm expression.

"Hey" Li Hao heard Li Cao's words and sighed, how could he not know what Li Cao said, he asked Li Cao to retreat, but he didn't want Li Cao to be in danger, but seeing Li Cao's expression so firm, what else could he say.

At the same time, he couldn't figure out how this small place, which was originally inconspicuous about the battle situation, could become a battleground a few days ago.

Actually, it started a few days ago.

This Western Turkic army was originally led by the Western Turkic Northern Khan, the Ilmu Khan, and wanted to go north to rescue the royal court, but before he could rush to the royal court with this 100,000 army.

He got the news that the Western Turkic royal court had been broken by the Tang army, and the Western Khan King had fled to the west with some of his men and horses, and a Tang army was chasing.

Therefore, after learning that the royal court was over, Ilimu immediately turned his horse's head and gathered the fleeing Western Turks while coming towards the Horin Valley, and he wanted to flee southwest from the Helin Valley.

What Ilimu never expected was that there was an extra fortress in this usually inconspicuous Helin Valley.

What's more deadly is that if you can't rush out of the Helin Fortress, you will definitely encounter the chasing Tang army if you go back to the north, to the east is a dead end to enter the place controlled by the Tang Dynasty, and to the south you can bypass the Helin Valley, but it is an endless desert, and behind the desert is a high mountain.

If Ilimu had been well prepared, he would have crossed the desert and climbed over the mountains to the south without hesitation, but now that he was not well prepared, opening up the Horin Valley was the only hope for Ilimu and other Western Turks.

However, several attempts to attack were repelled by the defenders, and in the end, Ilimu, who did not want to fight hard, gathered his men to discuss countermeasures.

In particular, it was found that there was a small town dozens of miles east of the Helin Valley, in which there was a group of Tang defenders.

Someone suggested to Yi Limu that he should come to a siege of Wei to save Zhao.

So there was the siege of Taku Town.

But what Ilim and his men never expected was that in such a small town, 30,000 Western Turkic warriors did not take it for two days.

This made Ily quite annoyed, after all, he still wanted to make a big army attack after taking that town, and attract the Tang army of Helin Fortress to turn back to the rescue, so that he Ilymu had a plan to take Helin Fortress in one fell swoop and rush out of Helin Fortress.

But now that Taku Town can't be taken, the later plans can't be implemented, so after learning that Taku Town has not been taken, Ilimu gave a death order to the Western Turkic generals besieging Taku Town, and Taku Town must be taken within a day.
