Fight, must fight.

Yang Yue's heart is like a mirror, if the Tang Dynasty wants to rise completely, it must personally eradicate the strong enemies of the Quartet.

Only by conquering by force can the majesty of the Tang Dynasty be demonstrated, how can this matter be done by others?

Moreover, in recent years, the two sides have often clashed, and the Tang army has won more and lost less, and has already regained confidence.

At present, just by transferring the place of operation, could it be that the Tang Army has become depressed and collapsed?

The most important thing is that in the recent battles in the northern border fortress, the Turks have lost their troops one after another, losing hundreds of thousands of elite horsemen in the battlefield, just like the end of a strong crossbow.

How could a group of low-spirited and panicked cavalry threaten the well-trained and imposing Tang Army?

They only need to master the terrain and environment in the steppe, find the place where the Turkic tribes are stationed, and lead the elite soldiers deep into the steppe, and naturally have the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the other party.

Yang Yue knows this truth, Zhao Xuanhu and Ye Qinghu are also very clear about this truth.

Fight, fight to the death!

Yang Yue almost did not hesitate, and categorically ordered the three generals to reorganize the military horses and prepare for the imperial expedition.

Taking advantage of the time when Yiran and other Turkic generals were withdrawn, they tried to catch up with the footsteps of Yiran's army, and launched an attack in advance without waiting for them to penetrate deep into the Turkic hinterland.

Driving a personal expedition?

Hearing this, Zhao Xuanhu, Ye Qinghu, and Nan Daoming realized that Yang Yue wanted to personally lead the troops to eradicate the Turks.

There was no time to get out of the study to dispatch troops, Zhang Shaoming, Lin Kaiyue, and Luo Shishang arrived in the study quickly.

The battle on the front line is over, and they are eager to know if Yang Yue has the idea of pursuing Yiran.

Lin Kaiyue quickly reported the situation on the front line to Yang Yue, and stood by waiting for Yang Yue to make a choice.

If Yang Yue pursued the Yiran tribe with an iron heart, they immediately reorganized their troops and horses, and pursued each other mercilessly, if they let the army rest, they could only temporarily change their previous plans.

The city of the east was destroyed by fire?

Knowing that Yiran, King Zuogu Li led his troops to abandon the city and flee, Yang Yue was quite disappointed.

It was learned that Temur led his troops to ambush the cavalry and destroy the city of Dongshou.

Even though Guo Xiao rode and Lin Kaiyue killed Temur and killed five thousand Turkic elites, the anger in his heart could not be extinguished compared to the city that was burned by the flames.

Temur destroyed a city in the Tang Dynasty, and he destroyed ten Turkic tribes, how could he dissipate the anger in his heart.

Having made a plan for the pursuit before, Yang Yue gave a categorical order: "Pursuit, the whole army pursues, kills into the grassland, completely eradicates the main Turkic force, and before the cold winter comes, the battle must be ended."

He will never rely on the strength of others, let alone let go of Yi Ran, the king of Zuogu Li.

This time, he personally led the Tang army to drive a personal expedition, and he was sure to pay for the debts and blood and completely wipe out the Turks in one go.

Zhang Shaoming, Lin Kaiyue, and Luo Shishang learned of Yang Yue's arrangement, and they all clasped their fists and saluted to support the plan to hunt down and kill Yi Ran.

However, the three generals also have their own concerns.

Yi Ran, Zuogu Liwang, Yan Xingjun and other troops withdrew to the grassland one after another, which means that hundreds of thousands of elite horsemen are distributed in the grassland.

They must have relied on their familiarity with the terrain and environment in the grassland, and took the opportunity to arrange their troops and set a trap in the vast grassland, waiting for the Tang army to go.

It is imperative to first find the location of the Yiran tribes and reconnoiter the topography of the grassland.

Zhang Shaoming suggested: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, know yourself and know that you will win a hundred battles, for decades, the Tang army has never gone deep into the grassland, and no one in the army knows the terrain and environment in the grassland.

The last general will support the emperor's personal expedition and pursue the Yiran troops, but in order to ensure that the first battle is decisive and reduce the casualties of the three armies, before sending troops, it should be properly arranged and strictly deployed."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the last general suspects that Yiran has withdrawn his troops, and Temur is desperately defending the city, they must be secretly plotting some ulterior secrets, and the army really needs to be cautious when going out!" Lin Kaiyue reported.

Riding his horse all the way south, after thinking about it, he racked his brains and didn't come up with an ugly man, he really couldn't guess why Yi Ran suddenly gave up the cities in the north?

He believed that the other party's sudden abandonment of the city and flight was by no means due to lack of food and grass, and it was definitely not that the soldiers were not strong.

Now, the true intention of Yiran's withdrawal has not been guessed, and it is not a wise move to lead the army into the grassland.

When Luo Shishang wanted to say something, he was interrupted by Yang Yue in advance.

Before going deep into the grassland, Yang Yue knew best what he should do, not to mention, he had arranged for Zhao Xuanhu and the three of them to prepare for the whole army, so he naturally had his own plans and arrangements.

Looking at Ye Qinghu, he commanded loudly: "General Ye, send three hundred elite spies out, cast a wide net, conduct reconnaissance on a large scale, and be sure to find the traces of the various departments of Yiran, within five days, I must know that within a radius of 100 days, every grass and tree, every mountain and water in various places, within ten days, I must have a rough understanding of the terrain in the Turkic hinterland.

If it is really difficult to explore, you can ask the Turkic captives and the rescued people of the Tang Dynasty, and strive to draw a detailed topographical map of the Turkic hinterland as soon as possible."

"Whoa!"

Ye Qinghu clenched his fists and took his life.

If you want to defeat the Turks, you really need to thoroughly understand the terrain and environment in the Turks, so as to ensure that the Tang army will go deep into the Turkic hinterland and not be ambushed by the other side, so as to reduce the casualties of the three armies.

Yang Yue did not hesitate, and continued to order: "Luo Shishang, Guo Xiaoqi led the army under his command as the vanguard, the top priority, clear the periphery of the military camp in the eastern surrender city, all the Turkic spies, must ensure that the Turks have no way to know the movements of our army, in addition, eradicate the southern Turks, all the tribes, transport their wealth back to the Tang Dynasty, and force Yiran and other tribes back to the vicinity of the royal court!"

"Whoa!"

Luo Shishang and the two of them hugged their fists and took their lives.

In this battle, he rode with Guo Xiao and Lin Kaiyue led the army as the vanguard army, shouldering the burden of exploring the way for the army and removing all obstacles ahead.

"Zhang Shaoming, you and Lin Kaiyue led the troops to serve as the central army, reorganize the three armies, and be specifically responsible for facing the main Turkic forces!" Yang Yue instructed: "In addition, inform Nan Daoming, Ye Qinghu, who is responsible for the grain and grass of the three armies, and there must be no mistakes."

"Whoa!"

Zhang Shaoming shook his head!

After making a decision, Yang Yue asked the three people around him: "If you have any suggestions or plans, you might as well say them directly!"

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead, find a shortcut, take the lead in killing the Turkic royal court, and destroy the Turkic royal court, which can damage the strength of the Turks, seriously affect the momentum of the three armies, and most importantly, form an opportunity for a two-front attack, so as to end this battle ahead of schedule?" Lin Kaiyue took the initiative to ask Ying and put forward his opinion to Yang Yue.

At this moment, Lin Kaiyue, the third general, did not know that the king of Shu and Zhang Xuanheng had led his troops to a decisive victory in Tubo, and sooner or later they would lead the army over the Tianshan Mountains and break into the Turkic territory!
