With Li Chengqian's order, the army immediately pulled out of camp and moved forward.

The large battalion of the Turkic Lanshan was stationed in Baiquan County, Yuanzhou, and it took three days to march at the speed of Li Chengqian.

But in the next two days, Li Chengqian did not look for Li Simo again, and he never told him how the Turkic Lanshan Department offended him.

This made Li Simo very dissatisfied, but looking at the teams of East Palace guards with guns and halberds, he could only worry about Lanshanbu.

Li Simo knew that Qu Lu Si Ashina Du Xun of the Lanshan Department was also a Turkic royal family, this person was brave and good at fighting and unruly, and he didn't even take himself seriously, and he had always been at odds with the group of Turkic nobles headed by Lu Zhi.

In the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, before most of the Turks crossed the Yellow River north, he also had a dispute with the Tang Pingliang herdsman, but he did not pursue it because the Tang Dynasty wanted to use them to resist Xue Yantuo in the north.

This time, the Turkic tribe retreated to the south of the Yellow River, and Li Simo originally arranged the Lanshan Department in the north of Lingzhou, but I don't know when the Lanshan Department came to the border of Yuanzhou near Gyeongju without permission.

With Li Chengqian's domineering style, he really can't imagine what kind of trouble will happen when he meets the unruly Ashina Du Xun......

As for Li Simo's worries, several generals on the Tang side are not worried at all, Li Chengqian, as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, wants to embarrass a Turkic tribe, what big things can happen?

The biggest thing is to completely wipe out this Turkic tribe, and the reason is that they have all thought of "stealing into the interior of the Tang Dynasty without a purpose".

Only Xuanzang and the monks of Famen Temple were a little embarrassed, because Li Chengqian gave them the task of "subduing the low-level people of the Lanshan Tribe" to make these Turkic low-level herdsmen believe in Buddhism, forget their white wolf ancestors, and believe in the "Legend of Heaven and Earth" written by Xu Jingzong.

Xuanzang asked some information from the mouths of those Turks last night.

It turned out that there were more than 10,000 people in the Lanshan tribe, of which only more than 2,000 were young and strong, and this time they returned to the south of the Yellow River, and they were blackmailed by several pastoral supervisors in Pingliang, Baiquan and Anhua nearby.

Therefore, most of the herdsmen in the Lanshan tribe were cut off from food, and Ashina Duxun left some young people behind, and blasted the rest out of the camp where the tribe was located, leaving them to fend for themselves.

Fortunately, it was summer at this time, and the weather was warm, and there were some wild animals in the mountains and grasslands, so that he would not starve to death immediately, but they took the old and the young to find some food in the mountains and forests, and the difficulty can be imagined.

Yesterday, Li Chengqian set up camp near the small lake, where they had stayed at night in the past few days, and when they came back, they saw a large military camp stationed near the lake from a long distance, and they did not dare to approach it, but because they were thirsty, they had to make a detour to the side of the grove, just to drink a few sips of water from the lake.

After listening to Xuanzang's relay, Li Chengqian thought about it for a while and came up with a plan, he immediately ordered people to give these Turks some food and water, let them eat enough, and then bring them some dry food for them to go out to find their other clansmen, and tell them their itinerary to bring them all after they were found.

Then he ordered Xu Jingzong to send people to summon the three pastoral envoys who blackmailed them to the Lanshan Department, and Li Chengqian should also clean up these people, otherwise it would affect the policies he would implement here in the future.

The army walked all morning, and when the sun was about to turn due south, Su Dingfang ordered the whole army to stop and rest.

Li Chengqian's four-wheeled bicycle stopped under several big trees, and Li Chengqian got out of the car to move his sore body that had been shaken, and then sat on a recliner to rest.

As soon as Li Chengqian sat down, he saw the prince's family Ling Cheng Wang Qun coming over, clasped his fists and saluted Li Chengqian: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi has all the arrangements. ”

Li Chengqian nodded expressionlessly when he heard this: "Hmm! After a pause, he asked, "What's going on over there?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Qun bent down and stretched his head into Li Chengqian's ear and whispered: "Li Simo was worried all the way, but he didn't send anyone out. ”

Li Chengqian nodded slightly when he heard this, and then began to close his eyes and recuperate.

This Wang Qun was also born in the Taiyuan Wang clan, and because of Wang Yedan, many people from the Taiyuan Wang clan unintentionally leaned on the East Palace.

Li Chengqian came out this time because there was a shortage of people around him, so he asked him to bring some unambitious and slightly talented clansmen out to experience.

Li Chengqian sprinkled these people who were related to him all over the army, and while learning how to march and fight, he collected intelligence for him.

Soon after the army set off in the afternoon, Li Chengqian brought back one or two hundred Turks from the few Turks released last night, and these people were also skinny, unkempt, ragged, not ghosts, Li Chengqian looked at them and was really pitiful, so he asked Xuanzang to take some monks to stay and give them some food, first to calm their emotions and then let them catch up.

These low-level Turks received the grace of the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and they were all red with excitement, lying on the ground and kowtowing to Li Chengqian's car, and the army walked a long distance, still unwilling to get up.

Early the next morning, Li Chengqian brought some dry food for these Turks, and still asked them to look for their people.

In this way, in the next two days, Li Chengqian's army would not go far before the Turks would come to him, and Li Chengqian handed over these people to Xuanzang and Xu Jingzong to take care of.

Give them food and drink, treat them if they are injured, treat them when they are sick, and Xuanzang tells them a piece of "Legend of Heaven and Earth" every night, so that these people who have a low status among the Turkic people and can only be cattle and horses really think that they have met the gods who save the suffering.

For a time, their reverence for Li Chengqian and Li Shimin reached the point of being admired by a high mountain.

On the afternoon of the third day, Li Chengqian and his army finally came to the vicinity of the camp of the Lanshan Division, and the advance army led by Xue Rengui had already arrived here half a day in advance and guarded the exit road of the Lanshan Division's camp tightly.

Considering Li Chengqian's safety, Su Dingfang set up the Chinese army camp five miles away from the Lanshan Turkic camp.

Xue Rengui, who received the news, rode a horse to the Chinese army camp to meet Li Chengqian.

Xue Rengui, who was dressed in silver armor, walked into the big tent majestically, and then pushed the golden mountain and bowed to Li Chengqian on one knee like a jade pillar: "The last general will see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Seeing this, Li Chengqian stretched out his hands to help him and said with a smile: "Don't be polite." ”

Xue Rengui got up and clasped his fists again and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qi, the minister's soldiers and horses have already guarded the exit road of the camp of the Turkic Lan Mountains. However, Tufa Lude of the Lanshan tribe came out to report that their Qulu Si Ashina Du Xun had left the camp five days earlier and had gone to Yuanzhou to join the Qu Lu Si Alliance with other Turkic tribes. ”

"What alliance?" Li Chengqian was shocked when he heard this.

"The left-behind spit just said that their Qulu Si was invited by Qu Lu Lu Zhi of the Ubu to go."

Li Chengqian thought for a moment and then asked, "How many people did he take?" ”

"According to Tufa, who stayed behind in the Lanshan Ministry, he only brought a hundred and ten guards."

"Are you sure you left five days ago?" Li Chengqian confirmed again.

"Chu Dabiao, the deputy envoy of Pingliang Shepherd, has been here, and the minister also asked him, and Chu Dabiao said that Ashina Du inquired and left five days ago."

Li Chengqian nodded slightly and muttered, "It seems that it is not because we leaked the news here." Then he turned his head and asked Wei Chi Gong: "Does Qu Lusi, the Turkic of the Duke of the Stunned Kingdom, have the habit of often meeting alliances?" ”

Wei Chigong thought for a moment when he heard this: "Since the Turkic tribes descended to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has not forbade them to interact privately, and the various tribes do often get together to hunt. ”

Li Chengqian said secretly when he heard this: Datang is really generous!

Then he took a deep breath and said to Xue Rengui: "Is the deputy envoy of the Pingliang Pastoral Supervisor here?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the pastoral envoys of the three pastoral supervisors of Pingliang, Baiquan and Anhua have all come."

"Pass them in!"

After a while, three young officials in green robes walked into Li Chengqian's Chinese army tent, and several people fell on the ground and kowtowed as soon as they entered.

Li Chengqian waved his hand expressionlessly, and Liu Kui said loudly: "No courtesy!" ”

After a few people got up, Li Chengqian said lightly: "Which of you is the deputy envoy of Pingliang Pastoral Supervisor?" ”

A middle-aged man with an eight-character beard hurriedly stepped forward when he heard this, and said with a smile on his face: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the junior minister Chu Dabiao is the deputy envoy of Pingliang Pastoral Supervisor. ”

Li Chengqian glanced at him, and still asked with a blank face: "I heard that you have been here for a few days, what is the matter?" ”

"When the minister heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to Lingzhou, he wanted to find a few white camels to present to His Royal Highness the Prince. Someone told Xiao Chen that there were two white camels in this Lanshan Division, so Xiao Chen brought four Zongse camels to exchange with them. But who knows that the Lanshan tribe has no respect for the elders and is unwilling to sacrifice the camel to the prince,——"

When Li Chengqian heard that Chu Dabiao meant to use himself to bully Lanshanbu, he was furious in his heart, and slammed the case and said, "Presumptuous! ”

Chu Dabiao was frightened by Li Chengqian, and then stepped forward with a smile and said: "Who said no, this Lanshan Department is indeed too presumptuous, and I also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to order them to treat them with a big disrespectful ...... of the Lanshan Department."

Li Chengqian didn't bother to pay attention to him, and directly turned back to Wang Qun and said, "Take him down and try him for a good trial!" ”

When Wang Qun heard this, he immediately summoned his hand and ordered two guards to drag Chu out of the standard.

It wasn't until two guards stepped forward and grabbed his arm that Chu Dabiao realized that Li Chengqian was saying that he was presumptuous.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spares his life—"

After Chu Dabiao was dragged away, Li Chengqian looked coldly at the remaining two pastoral envoys and said, "Let's talk about it!" How many horses, cattle and sheep have you extorted in this Lanshan Mountains? ”

The two were stunned when they heard this, glanced at each other, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister has been wronged!" The ministers never extorted the horses, cattle and sheep of the Lan Department.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't believe it, so he just sent someone to check the camp of the Lanshan Department, today General Xue guarded his camp and they didn't go out to graze, it was really a herd of cattle and sheep, and horses were like clouds! ”

Li Chengqian glanced at Xue Rengui suspiciously when he heard this, and Xue Rengui hurriedly bowed down and said: "The minister has not entered the camp of the Lanshan Department, but the minister has controlled this camp early in the morning, and they really did not go out to graze. ”

When Li Chengqian heard this, he said to Wang Fangyi: "Fang Yi, you go to General Li and go to the camp of the Lanshan Department to have a look." ”

Seeing that Li Chengqian really let people go to see it, the following two pastoral envoys were all happy, they had indeed taken a lot of cattle, sheep and horses from the Lanshan Department before, but as soon as they came today, they saw that the Lanshan Department was a herd of cattle and sheep again.

At this time, as soon as Li Chengqian asked, he immediately used this matter to prevaricate, and now Li Chengqian sent someone to check, and Lanshan couldn't tell if he had a mouth!

Li Chengqian sent the two pastoral envoys out and asked Xu Jingzong, "How many Turks from the Lanshan Department are there in the camp now?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there are a total of 3,654 people who have defected today."

Li Chengqian nodded and said to Su Dingfang: "Let the army rest here for half an hour, and then go with King Gu to fight the local tyrants." ”

Su Dingfang hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "The last general will obey the order." ”
