Toyosu Castle.

Ye Qinghu led his troops to personally patrol the city, alerting to the movements of the Quartet.

Zhang Shaoming ordered his soldiers to arrive at the north gate of Fengzhou without stopping, and met Ye Qinghu by chance, and he couldn't wait to explain the front-line military situation to Ye Qinghu.

Knowing that Yi Ran killed King Zuoxian, last night, with King Zuogu Li and other generals, led the main army to withdraw from the city of Dongshou.

Overnight, hundreds of thousands of main forces seemed to evaporate from the world and disappeared without a trace, and Ye Qinghu immediately realized that something big might happen.

He was not reconciled, and he was secretly angry.

In order to eradicate the main Turkic army once and for all, the Tang army made strict arrangements, how could it return in vain?

After explaining to the deputy general, Ye Qinghu hurried back to the palace, wanting to inform Yang Yue of the front-line war.

In the palace.

Yang Yue just read the letter sent by the messenger instructed by the king of Shu, and reported in the letter that the Tang army completely annexed Tubo, He Hengrui, Yue Shizhong and other generals, and was leading the army to garrison Tubo to stabilize the situation.

The king of Shu, Zhang Xuanheng, Wei Jiyan, and Yan Yuefeng led the army to pursue the Turkic Right Xian King, the Right Valley Li King, and the defenders of the Anxi Protectorate, and the Turkic elite cavalry in the north and south.

The king of Shu was clear and would never let the king of the right sage and the king of the right valley cross the Tianshan Mountains and lead the troops to the Turks.

Knowing the situation of the civil war in Tibet, Yang Yue took a long breath.

When the dust settles on the war in Tibet, the most elite troops in the Tang army will come back one after another, and at that time, it will be much easier for several strong forces to converge and completely destroy the Turks.

Even, the King of Shu, Zhang Xuanheng and others, containing and eliminating the right Xian King, the elite cavalry under the command of the Right Valley Li King, leading the troops to kill from the Western Front, will accelerate the demise of the Turks.

In the study, Zhao Xuanhu and Nandao couldn't help but show joy when they heard the news.

The war in the west is gradually over, and after the elite of the Tang Army moves to the northern Xinjiang, it will surely shine brightly, and the first battle will be settled and the Turks will be completely dismantled.

Yang Yue was immersed in joy and wanted to change his strategy and tactics, when Ye Qinghu hurriedly walked into the study.

After bowing and saluting, he reported to Yang Yue about the battle situation of the surrendered city in the east.

Hearing the sound, the joy on Yang Yue's face instantly dissipated, and he was unhappy, at least a little unwilling.

The Tang army ended the campaign on the western front, and successively established its superiority in the northern Xinjiang, although it could not quickly eliminate the Turkic elite cavalry in the eastern surrendered city, but the long-term onslaught of the city, with the wheel tactics, can still effectively consume the Turkic living forces, and sooner or later have the opportunity to completely annihilate the iron cavalry that followed Yiran to the south.

In this battle, the Tang army did not need to go deep into the steppe to eliminate the main army of the Turks, saving a lot of trouble and reducing the casualties of the three armies.

Now Yiran threw a rat trap and led the army to abandon the city and flee.

No matter what plans he had, what plans he had, after the great change in the situation, for the Tang army, it would only add a lot of troubles and dangers out of thin air, and if he wanted to eradicate the Yiran Department, there would inevitably be a Tang army that would take the risk of advancing into the steppe and fighting deep into the Turkic hinterland.

As a result, the Tang army's attrition increased, and it also faced many unknown dangers.

When Yang Yue didn't think much, he quickly made up his mind.

Pursuit!

Must be pursued.

If Lin Kaiyue, Zhang Shaoming, Guo Xiaoqi, Luo Shishang and other generals successively recovered the cities in the north.

After the Tang army completely established its superiority, how could it allow Yiran, Temur, and King Zuogu Li to lead their troops to escape?

In this battle, he will personally lead a large army into the grassland to find Yiran's main force.

Never die!

Not to mention that this war cannot be delayed any longer.

Once winter comes, heavy snow covers the mountains, and the Tang army faces a vicious climate and a long front, which is not conducive to the Tang army's operations, and even the situation of the Tang army will become passive.

Zhao Xuanhu, Ye Qinghu, Nan Daoming, also have Yang Yue's worries.

However, they consider more and more complex issues.

In recent years, with Yang Yue's strong external strength, the Tang army has conquered everything in the war against the Turks, and has won many battles.

However, the Tang generals did not have the experience of leading the army into the steppe on a large scale and penetrating deep into the Turkic hinterland.

I don't know much about the vast steppe, the terrain environment, and the location of the Turkic tribes, and if I am not careful, I will go astray and easily break into the encirclement set up by the Turks.

The loss of troops and generals will affect the momentum of the three armies.

In silence, Nan Daoming stepped forward and said with a restrained expression: "Your Majesty, Yiran withdrew his troops without warning and returned to the grassland, there must be a plan. In order to reduce the casualties of the three armies, the last general suggested waiting for Anthony to lead the army to achieve a great victory on the Western Front, severely inflicting heavy losses on the main Turkic forces, making it difficult for Yiran to take care of things, and then ordered a fierce general to lead the Tang army into the steppe.

Take the opportunity to beat the water dogs, and you will have the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the Turks, and even completely destroy the other party in a battle."

His concerns are also the worries of many generals of the Tang Army, after all, the Tang Army's battles with the Turks for decades have basically been based on defense as attack, and all battles have taken place in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Army has never taken the initiative to attack and enter the Turkic hinterland.

Now the king of Shu led the army to achieve a great victory on the western front, and the emperor must not be defeated in the northern Xinjiang, otherwise it will inevitably affect the majesty of the emperor.

Nan Daoming was afraid, at least very worried, that the defeat in the first battle would have a bad impact on Yang Yue and the Tang army.

With the help of Anthony's might?

Hearing this, Yang Yue frowned slightly, and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

The Tang Dynasty is strong and strong, the country is rich and the people are strong, and it is a joke to eradicate the threat from the Turks, and you need to rely on others.

After doing this, where is the majesty of his son of heaven, and where is the majesty of the Tang Army?

Zhao Xuanhu and Ye Qinghu glanced at each other, with different thoughts.

Fearing that there would be hidden dangers in the risky pursuit, and unwilling to flee with the army led by Yiran, the Turks still posed a threat to the Tang Dynasty in the north.

"Your Majesty, the last general agrees with General Nan's suggestion." When Ye Qinghu hesitated, he said categorically, but as soon as he finished speaking, after a little hesitation, he said: "However, if the spies can detect the location of the Yiran Department in advance and grasp the terrain in the grassland, the time and place are favorable, the last general will support the army to advance into the grassland and fight desperately."

As the saying goes, relying on the mountains and the mountains, relying on the flow of water, you can only rely on yourself.

Being a man is not like this, how can Datang rely on others?

In this way, where is the face of the three armed forces? Where is the majesty of the Empire?

"Your Majesty, the last general will ask Ying to take advantage of the departure of Yiran's army not long ago, and personally lead the troops into the grassland to find the traces of Yiran's department!" Zhao Xuanhu supported the battle, and only a military victory could completely eliminate the Tang army's fear of the Turks.

The Tang Dynasty fought against the Turks, with the help of the power of the Sassanids, but could not pin their hopes on them.

What's more, the king of Shu, He Hengrui and other generals basically wiped out the Tibetans, can't they still eliminate the Turks?

If you want to completely solve the hidden dangers in the north, you must be the Tang Army who personally scared and subdued the Turks, so that they can be done once and for all.

Even let the Khitan people who were uncertain and did the grass on the wall take the initiative to attach themselves to the Tang Dynasty under the military authority of the Tang Army, and fundamentally eliminate the hidden dangers in the north of the Tang Dynasty.
