Dingzhou, the peaceful state city in the past, ushered in more than 100,000 troops today, and for a while, the entire Dingzhou was lively.

Li Er led 20,000 Chinese troops and Li Ji led 100,000 troops, after more than half a long journey, finally arrived in Dingzhou, Li Er decided to camp here and rest for a while.

"Your Majesty!"

The big tent of the Chinese army, a kind of general and minister bowed and stood left and right, Li Eryi was in armor, and his face was serious.

"Well, arrange it, and let Li Daozong lead 20,000 troops and 100 wolf warriors to stay in Dingzhou, responsible for the escort and supply of grain and grass."

20,000 troops, everyone was moved, if it was just logistics support, a few thousand people would be enough, and less than 20,000 troops would be needed at all, but since Li Er ordered so, it means that there must be his intentions.

Someone who cares looked at the map hanging in the middle of the big tent, and suddenly realized in his heart.

Xue Yantuo......

Li Daozong is a veteran of war, and he also guessed Li Er's intentions in an instant, otherwise, he would not let a veteran of the battlefield do logistics.

"The Last General's Order!"

"Well, what's going on with the pharmacist?"

The 100,000 army led by Li Jing took the waterway, as early as half a year ago, Li Er had already ordered people to start searching for warships, and it was enough to gather nearly 1,000 large and small warships to satisfy Li Jing's 100,000 army.

"Back to Your Majesty, there is no news from there, presumably it is still at sea, but estimated the itinerary, there should be a war over there."

"Well, in this case, we should also speed up, the soldiers are fully equipped with cotton clothes, cotton pants, cotton shoes, cotton hats, and cotton gloves?"

Speaking of cotton, I have to mention Guzate, this expedition, he has made a great contribution, in half a year, he actually transported back nearly two million catties of cotton from the west, and it took nearly 500 searches to and from the ships alone, or Li Er sent troops to pick it up in person.

Guzat made great contributions, and was greatly praised by Li Er, not only made a baron, but also gave a small official. Guzat can be regarded as a step to the sky, it is said that this guy was so drunk in Jinding Restaurant that he almost didn't get into trouble.

At the beginning, Li Er planned to send 300,000 troops, but later because of the abnormality of Tubo and Xue Yantuo, Li Er left a hand, and only raised 200,000 troops, as for the extra cotton, Li Er used it on the horse's body, and went to Goguryeo, cavalry was indispensable, Li Yi dispatched 50,000 cavalry this time, and used nearly 100,000 war horses.

"Go down and prepare, the army will leave tomorrow."

Li Er waved his hand and told everyone to retreat.

"Isn't there any news from Li Yi yet?" After everyone retreated, a person walked out of the big tent, if Li Yi was there, he would definitely be able to recognize that this person was Aoki.

"Back to Your Majesty, Qilinwei has not sent any news back."

"What the hell is this kid going to do?" Li Er frowned, there was always an impenetrable haze in his heart, and he always felt that something big was going to happen.

"Always keep an eye on his movements, and report to me as soon as there is news."

"Yes......."

......

Half a month later......

Jincheng buckle pharmacy.

Li Yi has been here for a month and a half, and in this month and a half, he has transferred another 400 people from Jeju Island and placed them in various parts of Baekje and Silla, and he has been waiting for news of the rest.

"Tell me, what's the situation on the side of the imperial army?"

In the backyard of the pharmacy, Li Yi asked while eating hot noodle soup.

Lei Gang also held a bowl of hot noodle soup and was sweating profusely when he ate it.

"Your Majesty has captured Gaimu three days ago. The sea army, Grandpa Li has also crossed the sea and captured Beisha. Now, in order to deter Goguryeo, Zhang Liang sent an advance fleet to the mouth of the Yalu River. Your Majesty has now besieged Liaodong City, ready to succeed in a battle. ”

Li Er's march was very fast, and it can be said that he caught Goguryeo off guard, and Goguryeo would never have thought that Li Er would endure the cold in winter to march and fight.

After listening to this, Li Yi felt some emotion in his heart, history is always so amazingly similar, in history, Li Er's marching route is basically similar to now, if there is no Li Yi's appearance, Li Er will not lose this time, but he will not win either, but now, everything is difficult to say.

"What's the situation on Tubo and Xue Yantuo's side?"

Lei Gang put down the sea bowl, his face was a little solemn. "It's not good, Brother Yi'er, you are really right, Tubo sent troops, five days ago, Tubo led 100,000 soldiers to attack Songzhou, and has captured Songzhou, and now it is approaching the hinterland of my Tang Dynasty. The armies of Xue Yantuo and Tuyuhun are also ready to move, and they are not far from sending troops. Your Majesty should be in a hurry now. ”

"Hmph, I expected them to do this." Li Yi thought about it and began to give orders. "Bring the paper, I will write a letter to Your Majesty......"

......

Liaodong City, here is a very important city for the Tang army, when Emperor Yang of Sui conquered Goguryeo, it was blocked in Liaodong City, if the Tang army wants to advance, this bone must be gnawed.

In the big tent, a group of veterans discussed hotly and asked for battle, Li Er just stared at the map and didn't say a word.

"Your Majesty, Chang'an urgent!"

Suddenly, a herald burst in, causing the audience to fall silent.

Chang'an Emergency? At this time, Chang'an's emergency report should only be related to one thing.

"Quick, show it to me."

Li Er hurriedly commanded.

The herald hurriedly handed the letter to Li Er, and Li Er opened the letter and looked at it, and his face immediately turned pale.

"How daring!"

Li Erqi slapped the tea table.

"Your Majesty?"

Eldest Sun Wuji asked out loud.

Li Er took a deep breath and said slowly: "Tubo has sent troops, and Songzhou has been captured!" ”

"What?"

Everyone was shocked.

"These bunnies really dare to offend." Cheng Biting Jin punched the table, panting in anger.

"Your Majesty, haven't we always had a trained army of 50,000 in Lanzhou? Let them go. ”

Li Ji quickly made countermeasures.

Li Er nodded. "That's all there is to it."

Just as Li Er was about to give an order, Aoki suddenly broke in.

"Your Majesty, I received the Flying Eagle Transmission from Grandpa Li Yi!"

"What?" Li Er was shocked again, and immediately became ecstatic. Li Er couldn't wait to take the letter, unfolded it, and read it carefully from beginning to end, and after a long time, Li Er suddenly laughed heartily.

"Hahaha, I knew this kid was going to surprise me." Li Er said, began to talk, raised the letter in his hand, and said with a smile: "That kid's letter said that you must not send 50,000 plateau soldiers from Lanzhou to block the Tubo army. ”

"Huh? Who will stop the Tibetan soldiers? ”

Li Ji frowned.

The corners of Li Er's mouth twitched. "What he means is to order the current four major dart bureaus and local government soldiers to temporarily form an army to contain the Tubo soldiers, not to repel them, but to delay time."

"Nope." Li Ji directly rejected this suggestion. "First, the improvised army is disheartened and scattered, making it difficult to form an army. Second, there are no generals in the DPRK and China, and there are no generals to lead the army, and it is impossible to hold back the Tibetan soldiers by relying on the number of people alone. ”

"Who said that there are no generals in the DPRK?"
