On July 28, the ninth year of Wude, the Tang Emperor Li Shi's militia sent a four-way army to the north to meet the Turks, and appointed Li Jing, the secretary of the military department, as the head of the march of the Guannei Road, and concurrently led the Turkic governor of the Northern War, commanding all military affairs!

Li Ji, the governor of the prefecture, was appointed as the head of the Tongmo Road march, and the main force led by the East Road directly attacked the Eastern Turkic hinterland.

Huazhou Thorn Shi Chai Shao was the head of the Jinhe Road march, and advanced along the Yellow River on the west road, echoing Li Jing and Li Jiyao.

Li Daozong, the king of Chengjun County, was the head of the Datongdao march, and Zhang Baoxiang was the deputy, advancing from Lingzhou to the northwest.

The four-way army has a total of 100,000 elite soldiers, all of which are under the management of Li Jing, including Li Ji and Cheng Zhijie all the way, Chai Shao and Wei Chi Jingde all the way, Li Daozong and Qin Shubao all the way, Li Jing and Zhang Gongjin all the way!

According to the established plan, this time it is to use the strategy of luring wolves into the urn to catch turtles, and cripple the Turkic army of 200,000 in one fell swoop, so that there will be no southward invasion within a few years! Therefore, the four armies are all secretly marching!

Originally, Bai Fan was busy making money, and he also took the time to prepare a backhand, to take advantage of this war to make a war fortune, but the imagination is beautiful, the reality is cruel, Li Jing is extremely disgusted with Bai Fan's laziness, a man's fame should be taken immediately, so he arrested Bai Fan into his own army, and became a Chinese army Sima, that is, a secretary, in charge of recording military exploits, military discipline and other civilian officials!

Fortunately, Bai Fan used the authority on the second floor of the library early to learn the six arts of the gentleman, in which the royal character refers to riding a horse, with the system plug-in, Bai Fan not only learned to ride a horse, but even learned to be proficient in driving a carriage that was extremely difficult to learn in ancient times!

Otherwise, if it was Bai Fan in the past, if he was in the army, let alone martial arts, I am afraid he would have to learn from horseback riding!

On the way to the camp in Lingzhou City, Li Jing pointed to Bai Fan and said, "Boy, we are about to have a big war, and the old man has already given the order to march quickly, you are good, you have to find something for me, we have enough people, what are you doing with a lot of porters?" What secrets can't you tell the old man, do you have to use Your Majesty to suppress me? ”

Seeing his nephew treat horseback riding as a game, get a large saddle and sit on the horse half-lying, Li Jing was angry!

Bai Fan couldn't help but smile and said, "Uncle, you are always angry with me, so I will say it bluntly, my nephew is not a stingy person, you can make another one for you at any time, this is not a thing!" But what do you have to do like business? What happened to me finding a group of coolie porters to eat with me, and I didn't delay the march of the army! ”

Li Jing was choked a lot, that's right, it was made by Bai Fan himself!

Since there is the second floor of the library, Bai Fan is really a shotgun, and he is no longer the little scholar who can only live by selling his mouth, and when he thinks of any useful skills that need to be used, he will spend some time copying books and learning, such as horseback riding, carpenters, blacksmiths, and even mechanical skills, and the secret art of public metallurgy that can understand the language of birds and beasts, etc., have all been learned by Bai Fan to the realm of proficiency.

At this time, he was riding on a horse and half-lying down, and he could still be so stable, thanks to his carpentry skills, and the ability to talk to horses, you must know how excited he was when he found the legendary Gongye Chang Secret Art in the library, and fantasized about one day getting a tiger of the king of mountains and forests as a mount!

"Don't worry, uncle, what about the people I bring, not only will they not drag down the army, but they can also help the army clean up the battlefield, and the waste products we don't want on the battlefield can be handed over to them to deal with, and for us to throw away a trouble, we can also get a part of the benefits, why not? When it's time to camp and rest tonight, my nephew will make you a ride with his own hands, and then discuss with your mount, Black Wind, so that he can be kind to you, don't keep stumbling! ”

Li Jing whispered to himself, I don't know what kind of freak you kid is, I heard that I didn't know how to ride a horse a few days ago, but now it's good, it seems that everything can be done overnight, carpenters and blacksmiths can catch up with the master for many years, and the equestrian skills are almost surpassing the old man, and you can still talk to the horses, I really don't know what shit luck you go, and I don't know what kind of master can teach a guy like you!

At the same time, on the Turkic side, Jieli Khan summoned the chiefs of the various tribes and his generals to discuss the matter.

A fat Han man with an eight-character beard and small eyes with extremely gloomy eyes spoke, "Recently, I heard that Li Shimin, the king of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, suddenly took down the crown prince Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and forced the palace to ascend the throne. ”

A big man below mocked, "The Han people are cowardly, my Great Turkic warriors didn't plan to hide it this time, the 200,000 army went all the way south, what difficulties can stop us?" That is, only a man like you Zhao Deyan will be afraid! ”

The Han who spoke, named Zhao Deyan, was taking advantage of the war in the Central Plains, the Han people of the Beitou Turks, and later they were quite reused by Jieli Khan, and it was by following his advice that Jieli understood the benefits of strengthening the power in his hands, and could mobilize 200,000 people to attack the Tang Dynasty.

It was the first general under Jieli who refuted and ridiculed him, King Zuo Xian of the Turks at this time, he was the first general of the Turks, and he looked down on the weak style of the Tang people!

The generals below also spoke out and ridiculed, and Jieli shouted loudly, "Enough, Mr.'s words are reasonable, we want to take Chang'an in one fell swoop, we must fight quickly, it is not a good thing to be prepared by them, the soldiers are fast, Ben Khan's military order, King Zuo Xian immediately led 30,000 warriors under his command as the vanguard, marched from the east road, all the way to Hebei Road to attack Datang, and must quickly give Datang a painful blow, and it is your great achievement to be able to contain the opponent's 50,000 troops!" ”

Order! King Zuo Xian was overjoyed and went back to rearmament for battle!

Later, Jieli sent Youxian Wang to attack the Lingzhou side on the west road, striving to drag down the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty, and Jieli led the 140,000 soldiers and horses of the Chinese army directly from the middle road to the south and approached Chang'an!

Three days later, in the tent of the commander of the Tang East Road, Li Jicheng was camping to discuss countermeasures, and heard the herald report that the steppe Turkic army had moved, and the scouts came to report that 30,000 Turkic forwards had left Yinshan and came in the direction of Hebei, and they would contact the army forwards in three days at most!

"Biting gold, the enemy is coming quickly, do you have a good strategy?" Li Ji asked in a deep voice.

Cheng Biting Jin shook his head and said, "You are a bull's nose, you are the manager of the East Road this time, Lao Cheng only fights, but he doesn't have a plan, there is no good strategy!" Also, you said don't call me by my nickname, now everyone knows that my name is Cheng Zhijie! ”

The two are friends in the same township and playmates since childhood, so they are quite familiar with each other, and they have always made friends and liked jokes!

"I want to send Wimmer to set up more traps along the way to slow down the enemy's march and kill and wound the enemy at the same time, I don't know what you think?"

Although Cheng Yanjin was a little worried, he also knew that since his son joined the army, he would have to go through the experience of blood and fire, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Old Dao, when my son joins the army, he should follow the military order, I can't control it!" I believe that you, as an uncle, will not harm your nephew, you can do whatever you want! ”
