The wounded soldiers in the last battle, except for the disabled, have basically returned to the barracks, and all the soldiers are trained by Xue Rengui, Wang Fangyi and Cheng Wuting in turn every morning.

Li Chengqian, who lived in a tent, was woken up very early every day by the sound of a loud military horn, and he was not angry about this, so when he woke up, he got up to see how they trained, and sometimes he went out late to catch up with the soldiers to eat, and he also had breakfast with the soldiers.

In this way, although he never directly intervened in the management of the barracks, the soldiers felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty was by his side, and everything he did was very important and needed to be taken seriously.

Generals at all levels did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, for fear that Li Chengqian would know that they had made any mistakes.

Xu Jingzong privately praised Li Chengqian many times for his way of ruling by doing nothing, and for properly managing a military camp of more than 6,000 people without saying a word.

Li Chengqian laughed when he heard this, there are no Wei Chigong, Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui and a few other people in the barracks who are in the barracks, you can try to do nothing.

When some people in modern times think of the art of war, they think that it must be a person of intrigue and trickery, or a person who strategizes and decides to win a feather fan thousands of miles away, which is basically wrong.

In the art of war, everyone must first be able to train elite soldiers, and then be able to lead soldiers, no matter how far they go and how many difficulties they encounter, it is the greatest victory to lead tens of millions of troops to the place without confusion.

For example, in the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, Hou Junji destroyed Gaochang, Hou Junji was scared to death as soon as he arrived at the city of Gaochang with a large army, and the king of Gaochang who succeeded to the throne could only surrender the whole country.

The same can not train the elite soldiers, no matter how many conspiracies and tricks are useless, when the chaotic army reached Tongguan during the Anshi Rebellion, Tang Xuanzong sent a few generals to recruit troops in Luoyang to resist, but because there were strong generals and no strong soldiers, in the end it was still defeated and retreated.

Therefore, Li Chengqian did not dare to relax for a moment in military training.

As soon as the sun rose in the east that day, Li Chengqian came to the school grounds, watched Cheng Wuting and the soldiers running and exercising for a while, and then turned around and went back to the big tent of the Chinese army.

He walked back slowly and took a casual look, saw the heavy dew on the grass blades on the side of the road, and knew that the temperature was already much lower than a few days ago, so he asked Wei Chi Gong beside him: "The envoy of Xue Yantuo, the Duke of Hubei State, should return to the mountain tent of the Yu Overseer Army now, right?"

Wei Chigong thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "I shouldn't have returned to Yi Nan's tooth tent yet, but it's almost there." ”

Li Chengqian calculated in his heart that even if Yi Nan began to set off to Lingzhou at this time, it would not be until the end of August and the beginning of September before he could reach the edge of the Yellow River.

It was too early to calculate the time, and now he had to deal with the Turkic tribes and the Qiang people.

Li Chengqian was walking slowly, but when he saw Wang Qun coming from the opposite side in a hurry, he walked in front of Li Chengqian, and said in a hurry: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the Turkic tribes are really bold, they dare to let go of Ashina Duxun without permission." ”

Li Chengqian was stunned when he heard this, but Wei Chigong next to him stood up and said loudly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, please lead troops to Yuanzhou, and tie up all the Qu Lu of the local Turkic tribes and hand them over to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for severe punishment." ”

Li Chengqian stood still and thought about it, he already had a plan yesterday, he wanted to approach the party Xiang Qiang of Fangchi Prefecture Ye Lixun to come forward to deal with the Turkic tribes, and at this time it was better for him not to make any extraneous branches.

So he waved his hand to Wei Chi Gong and said: "Don't worry about the Duke of Eguo, Ashina Duxun is not responsible for escaping Lu Zhi, if he is forcibly punished, I am afraid that the subordinates will not accept it."

And now what we have to do on the surface is to unite the Turkic tribes to fight against Xue Yantuo, if we severely punish Lu Zhi at this time, I am afraid they will have to think too much. ”

Wei Chigong was silent when he heard this, but Wang Qun next to him said: "No matter what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince says, he can't just forget it. ”

Li Chengqian sneered when he heard this: "How can it be just like that, when the lonely king has breakfast, he will raise the account." ”

After that, Li Chengqian helped Liu Kui and quickly walked back to the Chinese military tent.

----------------

Knock knock knock......

A rumbling drum sounded in the camp, and the generals in the camp hurriedly came to Li Chengqian's military tent.

As soon as he entered the big tent, he saw Li Chengqian sitting on a tiger skin chair in the center of the big tent in military uniform, looking at the generals with an expressionless face.

I thought something big had happened, and I was taken aback.

After the crowd had finished saluting, Li Chengqian slapped the armrest of his chair and said angrily: "I summoned you here today because the person who went to Yuanzhou to arrest Ashina Duxun has returned, and Ashina Duxun-" Speaking of this, Li Chengqian deliberately paused, swept his two eyes from everyone's faces, and then continued: "Ashina Duxun has fled." ”

Only then did everyone know that Li Chengqian's glance just now was to see if it was someone here who had sent a message to Ashdu, and they couldn't help but look at Li Simo.

Li Simo's heart suddenly cooled when he saw this, and seeing Li Chengqian's posture, it was clear that he wanted to raise the teacher and ask for guilt.

Hurriedly walked out and knelt down on his knees and said: "These are all negligence of the ministers, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to allow the ministers to make meritorious contributions to the crime and personally go to Yuanzhou to arrest Ashina Duxun back." ”

Li Simo thought at this time that Ashina Du Xun should still be in Yuanzhou.

Li Chengqian glanced at him lightly and asked, "How can General Li know where Ashina Duxun is?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know where Ashina Du is, but the minister thinks that he should still be in the Yuanzhou area. As long as the minister arrives in Yuanzhou and orders the Turkic tribes to search closely, he will definitely be able to find out. Li Simo assured.

Li Chengqian has already checked, since the Lanshan Department was destroyed, Li Simo has not privately sent news to Yuanzhou, and Yuanzhou has not sent news to him, he should be telling the truth at this time.

"General Li, please get up and speak!" Li Chengqian said calmly.

After Li Simo got up, he continued: "General Li has been in Chang'an for a long time, whether it is the rebellion of the Lanshan Department or what happened to Yuanzhou, it can be said that it has nothing to do with you, so General Li doesn't have to blame himself too much." ”

"The minister was ordered by His Majesty to lead the Turkic tribes in the north to resist Xue Yantuo, and now the Lanshan tribe rebelled first, and then Ashina Duxun fled in Yuanzhou, the minister is really guilty and deserves death, how dare he shirk the responsibility.

Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to allow his ministers to make meritorious contributions. ”

Hearing this, Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Since General Li still thinks that he can command the Turkic tribes, then let's take a hard trip to General Li."

But if you can't do anything, you have to get back in time, don't get stuck there. ”

When Li Simo heard this, he thought that Li Chengqian thought that he was no longer capable of controlling the Turkic tribes, and he was relieved to separate him from the Turkic tribes.

Immediately saluted Li Chengqian solemnly again, turned around and went out, returned to his military tent, took the guards and went straight to Yuanzhou.

Watching Li Simo go out, Li Chengqian said with a straight expression: "Set up the Fanghua Prefecture Governor's Mansion." ”

The generals in the tent were all stunned when they heard this, why did they suddenly want to go to the Fanghua Prefecture Governor's Mansion?

You must know that the Fanghua Prefecture Governor's Mansion is on the border of Gyeongju, and the distance from here is much farther than that of Yuanju in Xiaoguan.

Only a few people, such as Wei Chigong and Xu Jingzong, knew that Li Chengqian went to Fangchi Prefecture to clean up the Yeli clan of the party Xiangqiang.

Dangxiang Zhuqiang has been dealing with China since the Han Dynasty, and by the time of the Tang Dynasty, their various tribes were basically scattered and had long been out of each other's borders. However, in order to save trouble, the Tang Dynasty still let the small tribe of Dangxiang Qiang obey the big tribe, and whenever there was anything wrong with the small tribe of Dangxiang Qiang, they would go to the big tribe to help solve it, and the court would directly ask the big tribe if they wanted to collect taxes and fees.

This management method made the party Xiangqiang, which was already scattered in the early Tang Dynasty, very united in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, and when it came to the Song Dynasty, they were able to establish their own country, and the country they established was the Western Xia.

Now the Yeli clan that Li Chengqian is going to find is an important clan that later assisted Li Yuanhao in establishing Western Xia.
