Chapter 624: Escape
"Li Jing, you come out for me, there is a kind of you don't hide from me, let's explain the matter!" Outside the handsome tent, Tang Jian jumped his feet and pointed at the handsome tent without grace and scolded, the guards in front of him lined up into a wall and desperately did not let him break in, and the soldiers who came and went also avoided Tang Jian one by one, for fear of being caught and scolded by the angry Ju Guogong.

Li Jing was in the handsome tent, not only was he there, but Li Ji was also there, but the two of them didn't think they heard it, and they didn't dare to come out to see Tang Jian, after all, they were at a loss first, and Tang Jian would never listen to their explanations, so it was better to hide, and when Tang Jian was tired of scolding, he would naturally go back.
Li Xiu stood not far away with a teapot and a smile, when he heard Tang Jian scolding to the happy place, he even wanted to cheer, before he quarreled with Li Jing because of Tang Jian's matter, and was thrown out of the big tent, and now Tang Jian came back, pointing at Li Jing's big tent and scolding, but the other party didn't dare to come out, it was just too happy.
Tang Jian is worthy of being a scholar, standing outside the handsome tent and scolding for a long time, he didn't even bring the same thing, and he not only scolded Li Jing, but even Li Ji also scolded, because he already knew that it was Li Ji who was the first to propose to send troops to attack the Turks regardless of his life and death, and it can be said that Li Ji was the real initiator, so most of his scolding was directed at Li Ji.
However, scolding is also a manual work, especially hurting his throat, and in the end, Tang Jian finally couldn't scold, Li Xiu stepped forward with a smile, handed over the tea and said: "Ju Guogong take a rest first, drink tea to moisten your throat!" ”
Tang Jian also felt that his throat was about to smoke at this time, so he took the teapot and drank it in one gulp, and then he let out a sigh, and then smiled at Li Xiu: "Don Ma, thank you for speaking up for me before, and later let Su Dingfang protect my safety, otherwise my bones may be cold!" ”
"Ju Guogong is polite, in fact, there are many people in the army who care about the safety of Guogong, such as Zhang Gongjin and Qin Qiong and other generals, but unfortunately they have no decision-making power, and in the end they can only obey orders!" Li Xiu smiled again at this time and said, Tang Jian scolded him just now, although he mainly scolded Li Jing and Li Ji, but he also scolded other generals, so Li Xiu reminded him, lest he accidentally hurt others.
"There are a lot of good people in this world, but there are some people who have ghosts in their hearts and don't care about the lives of others for their own merits, and when I go back, I have to join them in front of Your Majesty!" Tang Jian said hatefully again at this time.
Originally, Tang Jian's escape from death this time can be regarded as a great contribution to the Tang Dynasty, if he is replaced by other ministers, I am afraid that he will be wrong, and he will not say anything to receive this credit, and he may even announce to the outside world that he has long known Li Jing's plan, but for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, he would rather take this risk to confuse Jieli, so that his contribution to the war of exterminating the Turks will be even greater.
However, Tang Jian is Tang Jian after all, with his relationship with Li Shimin, as well as his current status, it is not bad for this time, and his personality is a bit similar to Li Xiu, in his opinion, any fame and fortune are not as important as his own life, so he is so angry.
When Li Xiu and Tang Jian were talking, they suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and then saw Su Dingfang leading a cavalry galloping over, when he saw Li Xiu outside the handsome tent, Su Dingfang hurriedly jumped off the horse and saluted: "The last general will see the horse, Ju Guogong!" ”
"General Su is polite, thank you for saving the old man in the chaos before!" When Tang Jian saw Su Dingfang, the expression on his face finally eased a little, if Su Dingfang hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid he would really have died in the chaos.
"Ju Guogong is polite, this is the duty of the last general, it's nothing!" Su Dingfang also hurriedly said politely at this time, but he actually didn't want to have too much contact with Tang Jian, after all, everyone now knew that Tang Jian pointed at Li Jing's nose and scolded, if he and Tang Jian got too close, even if Li Jing didn't mind, I was afraid that others would gossip.
"By the way, Dingfang, didn't you go to pursue the whereabouts of Jieli and the others, how about it, is there any result?" Li Xiu asked eagerly at this time, Tang Jian also showed a concerned expression when he heard this, after all, he scolded and scolded, but he also very much hoped that he could catch Jieli as soon as possible, so that he could completely solve the border trouble in the north.
Hearing Li Xiu's question, Su Dingfang sighed, and then shook his head helplessly and said: "Qiyu donkey, we chased out hundreds of miles to the southwest, and we did find some traces of someone escaping on the way, but there are masters on the other side who know how to eliminate traces, so we chased it out for a long time, but in the end we found that the clue had been broken!" ”
"It's a pity, it's a failure!" When Tang Jian heard Su Dingfang's answer, he couldn't help but pat his thigh and said very distressedly, this time the Tang Dynasty attacked the Turks with the strength of the whole country, consumed countless materials and manpower, and also lost a lot of troops, but it still failed to completely eradicate Jieli, which is really unacceptable.
"Jieli is not necessarily able to escape, after all, in addition to our three-way army, His Majesty also arranged the other two armies, in order to prevent Jieli from escaping, and the Turks are so completely defeated this time, I believe that few people dare to take Jieli, so the next thing depends on our luck!" At this time, Li Xiu pondered for a moment and said.
Of course, the reason why Li Xiu dared to say this was because he knew that Jieli was indeed captured by the Tang army in history, but he didn't know exactly how to catch it, and now history has been changed too much by him, not to mention anything else, the time for the Tang army to attack the Turks has been advanced by nearly half a year, so he is not sure that Jieli will be captured like in the original history?
At the same time, due west of the Tang army's camp, a remnant of the Turkic squad was marching rapidly, and there was a middle-aged man with a pale, stout figure in the ranks, who was Jieli who had escaped from the Tang army's pursuit.
Last night, the Turkic camp was attacked by the Tang army, Jieli saw that the situation was not good, and immediately fled in a hurry, even the most beloved son was lost on the road, he didn't care about looking for it, and directly rode a sweaty horse from the Western Regions to run desperately, at first they fled to the southwest, and then he was afraid that the Tang army would find out the direction of their escape, so he turned to the west, and let people eliminate the traces on the road, hoping to get rid of the pursuit of the Tang army.
Seeing that it was almost dark, Jieli didn't dare to stop, and still desperately beat the horse and galloped, but the only dozens of guards left around him showed extremely tired looks, and the horses they stepped on were almost unable to run, even the BMW under Jieli also had layers of pink sweat, and the mouth kept spraying white foam, which showed that the horsepower had been used to the limit, and it had caused damage to the horses.
Feeling that the BMW was running slower and slower, and the wheezing was getting worse and worse, Jieli, who knew the horse's nature, had to stop the horse, and then ordered someone to dismount and rest, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. However, when he dismounted, Jieli found that the skin on his thighs was worn out, and the blood and silk clothes were tightly adhered to, and finally he only tore them apart in severe pain.
Originally, Jieli didn't feel tired when he ran away, but as soon as he got off the horse and sat down, he immediately felt like his whole body was falling apart, and every bone was aching and itchy, compared to the injury on his thigh, which was nothing at all. In fact, this is also normal, just now Jieli only cared about running for his life, and the fear in his heart covered up all the physical exhaustion and pain.
Jieli sat on the ground and gasped for a while, then he felt a little more strength in his body, but it was more sore, and what was worse was that he felt thirsty and hungry, and after they escaped, they only cared about fleeing for their lives, naturally they did not get a drop of water, but when they escaped, they did not bring water and dry food at all, in fact, some guards did not even bring armor and weapons, let alone water and food.
Fortunately, these guards are very loyal, and without Jieli's orders, someone immediately prepared to light a fire, and then put the snow in his helmet and prepared to boil water to drink, but Jieli saw this and immediately stopped: "Don't make a fire, Tang Jun will definitely find us when he sees the fire!" ”
Hearing that Jieli didn't let the fire be lit, these guards had no choice but to directly pick up the snow ball and nibble a few bites, barely solving the problem of drinking water, but as soon as the snow water entered the stomach, everyone felt even hungrier in their stomachs.
Jieli also ate a few mouthfuls of snow at this time, and then felt hungry in his stomach, and his whole body could not exert any strength, but they did not bring dry food at all, and it was already dark at this time, and it was impossible to find food, the only way was to kill the horse, but they still had to rely on the horse to escape, one less horse meant that one person would die, so in the end they could only endure hunger.
As the night fell, Jieli asked people to clear a clearing in the snow, revealing the withered yellow grass below, and they huddled together directly on the cemetery to rest, so that they could warm each other, but in the middle of the night, Jieli found that it was not possible to go on like this, because the weather was too cold, and they did not bring blankets to keep warm, so in the end they could only let people build a fire, and by the way, they boiled some hot water to drink, and finally survived the night.
Early the next morning, although the horses were very tired, but Jieli did not dare to stay here, and fled to the west again, he had already thought clearly last night, the west is the territory of Sha Bo Luoshe, and the person in charge of Sha Bo Luo Sheh is his henchman Su Ni Lost, this time the Tang army raided, Su Ni lost was also attacked by another Tang army, that is, Li Daozong, so he failed to meet Jieli.
However, it is precisely because of the above reasons that Suni's army has not suffered too much loss, and now Jieli plans to go to Suni's place, and then integrate the army of Shabo Luoshe, first avoiding the edge of the Tang army, after all, the Tang army cannot always stay on the grassland, and when the Tang army retreats, it will be the day he will make a comeback!
