The sky was overcast, and the darkness buried the earth, pushing the whole world into rolling darkness completely.

Perhaps God is not accustomed to seeing the rampant Turks, when night falls, a gust of wind suddenly blows, and the biting chill instantly invades the entire land, and the Turkic soldiers who live in the northern steppes all day also feel the coldness of the cone.

In this kind of weather, all Jie Li's unwillingness turned into helplessness, and ordered people to set up camp ten miles away from Jingyang City, light a bonfire, and cook for heating.

At this time, the Jingyang City County Guard Mansion on the opposite side was brightly lit, and the beating flames were burning to their heart's content, illuminating the huge room as if it were day.

Outside the door, the howling wind brought a sharp sound, which made people shiver when they heard it.

Li Shimin sat in the first place, Li Jing and the others knelt cross-legged on both sides below, and in the middle position, a man in his thirties knelt on the ground tremblingly, trembling.

"You said that the single-handed teenager didn't go into the city, but went straight to the north?" After a long time, Li Shimin spit out a sentence lightly.

Jingyang City Guard hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, yes, the young man looked outside the city for a while, and then rode to the north, the minister was originally worried that he was from the Turkic side, so he did not open the city gate, please Your Majesty to surrender." ”

Li Shimin snorted coldly, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

Now in this ghost weather, surrounded by so many flames in the room, you can still feel a burst of coldness, so what about Li Kong in the wilderness outside?

Seeing that Li Shimin's face was pale, and now that the big war was coming, he was afraid that Li Shimin would do something wrong, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Yunfeng's child has been assertive since he was a child, since he hasn't come back yet, it means that he can still bear it, we just need to wait here." ”

Li Shimin knew what Li Tao meant, after all, Li Tao was Li Kong's Laozi, he was just an uncle, and his relationship was self-evident, so he wasn't really so impulsive.

What's more, as a brave and resourceful Kokang Emperor, he is not the kind of person who has a long love for children, and it is absolutely impossible to give up the entire Hetao Plain and hundreds of thousands of Han people for the sake of a Li Kong.

"All the Xuanjia Iron Guards were dispatched, in groups of three, to closely reconnoiter the entire Turkic, and at the same time pay attention to Li Kong's whereabouts, and report immediately once they find it." After Li Shimin said this coldly, he threw up his sleeves and left the hall.

The rest of the people looked at each other, crying and laughing one by one, only Li Tao, don't look at the righteousness he just said, but in fact, he is the one who is most worried about Li Kong, but now he can't say this kind of thing.

At this time, Li Kong, who was concerned by Li Shimin and them, had already come to the bottom of a big tree less than fifty meters away from the soldiers of the Turkic army.

Although he said that he looked down on him, Li Kong had to admit that the Turkic soldiers were still very powerful, especially in the late Sui Dynasty, they learned a lot of military knowledge from Li Tang, which can be seen from the deployment of this large battalion in front of him alone.

What made Li Kong a little relieved was that the Turks had always used the sky as the quilt and the earth as the bed when marching, and rarely carried heavy supplies, so this time, except for two khans and a limited number of generals, the rest of the people all gathered around the fire and sat on the ground.

"Looks like tonight's mission will be a lot easier." A chuckle provoked at the corner of his mouth, and Li Kong leaned against the big tree and closed his eyes.

In this era, there are many spies and killers, but special operations have never appeared, so he is not worried about making mistakes at all.

The reason why he is so sure is because in his previous life, Li Kong specially studied the languages of the surrounding countries during the Tang Dynasty, and the Turks, as the number one strong enemy of the Tang Dynasty, naturally their language will not be an exception.

……

The wind slowly began to lighten, but the sky suddenly knew that a thin layer of white snowflakes was falling from the shuttle, which was not big, but it made the temperature of the entire heaven and earth drop by more than five degrees.

"It's all about to die!" Seeing this, Li Kong's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and then he ignored it, now is far from the time to do it.

He took out some dry flatbread from the package next to him, devoured a few bites, and after suppressing the hunger in his stomach, he wrapped a piece of mink that he carried around his body and re-entered the state of closing his eyes and recuperating.

Turkic battalions.

In a palatial tent in the middle, a red bonfire burned in the middle of the tent, and beside them, Jieli and Tuli sat casually on a thick tiger skin, each holding a leg of mutton, biting it with a big mouthful, grabbing the sheepskin bag from time to time, and pouring a sip of mare's milk wine into the stomach.

"Report, Khan, it's snowing outside!" Suddenly, a soldier ran up and said loudly.

Along with this soldier, there are also Ashdewu Wusi, Yi Nan and Tuoba Yun, all three of them are the leaders of the Turkic tribes, but there are too few soldiers and horses and clansmen, so they can only take refuge in Jieli and Tuli to get living space.

"It's snowing heavily, and it's likely that we'll be postponing the baggage behind us, which is very bad news for us, so we have to prepare early." Tuli's face changed, and he spoke in a deep voice.

Jieli's face was also gloomy and terrifying, the Turks were not afraid of anything, but they were very afraid of the heavy snow, because the heavy snow could freeze their food and even themselves to death, and they were helpless.

"It's okay, let's eat enough tonight, we will break through Jingyang City early tomorrow morning, and then the materials in it will be enough for us to support the arrival of the backup baggage."

It took a long time for Jieli to spit out such a sentence that was not encouraging.

Yi Nan and the others nodded, they can only think like this now, could it be that they will go back directly now? Not to mention whether they can return it, even if they do, what will happen to their materials this winter?

This year, the cold winter on the grassland came very early, the heavy snow has fallen three times, and the cattle, sheep and livestock froze to death more than two percent, this time the reason why they raided the Hetao in such a hurry, in addition to taking the Hetao, is to loot some of the Tang Dynasty's materials back to the tribe for the winter.

"I hope it's okay on the prairie!" Just when everyone was in a hurry, Ashdewu didn't sip but suddenly said a word, which directly poured everyone from head to toe.

Jieli roared irritably, "What do you say? How could something happen on the prairie? Get out of here, get out of here! ”

Tuli opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, tore a few bites of the meat on the leg of mutton, and threw it casually into the open space not far away, and lay down directly on the ground.

In the hazy eyes, two strings of tears slowly fell.

Yi Nan and they went out, but the fire in Jieli's stomach had no place, and looking at Tuli who was lying there secretly crying, he also had the urge to cry.

But he was much stronger than Tuli, so he held back, his eyes covered with a vicious light......
