Last time, it was mentioned that Li Kuan avoided the search force sent by Jieli because he sent the captured Tang women back to the Tang Dynasty, so he advanced into the grassland, and this time they also had the distribution map of the tribes in the Turkic territory provided by Ashinadur, the Turkic prince. Thus began a long-distance raid on the grassland that swept through most of the grassland.

On the other side, where Li Jing's army was located, a sacred farewell ceremony was being carried out. After receiving Li Kuan's report and learning about the strategic purpose of the Turks, Li Jing began to calculate the factors of the armies on both sides, the distance from Dingxiang, the speed of the army's march, the influence of the terrain, etc., and concluded that the Tang army would reach the Dingxiang line three or four days slower than the Turks. These three or four days were enough time for the Turkic army to penetrate the border line and enter the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty to plunder. This is still under the premise that the Tang army is speeding up its march. Who made them hundreds of miles away from Dingxiang than the Turks! Although the elite can also be selected, one man and two horses gallop to help, but how many such troops can be selected? These people went there and were no match for the Turks of seventy or eighty thousand.

Therefore, Li Jing was at a loss and seemed very anxious, such a geographical gap cannot be made up by personal wisdom. At this time, Tang Jian, who was stopped by him, came to visit, and after learning about Li Jing's troubles, he took the initiative to ask Ying, saying that he could lead a bunch of soldiers to pretend to be envoys of the Tang Dynasty to help the Tang army win out this time, and ensure that the Turks would be tied up in Dingxiang City for five to seven days.

Now, it is seeing off Tang Jian. Tang Jian's face was clear. The short white beard is often under the chin, and he wears a azure gown and does not wear an official uniform. Stand at the gate. Salute the generals who have come to see them off.

"Thank you generals for your friendship, if Tang can return to the Tang Dynasty, he will definitely put a drink to thank you, if you are not so fatal, then please also ask the generals to sprinkle a bowl of wine on Tang's grave!" Tang Jian let the north wind blow the bow of the long robe, blowing the neatly combed gray hair, and said with emotion.

"What did Tang Shilang say? You will come back safely. The location of the Great Honglu Temple is still waiting for you! Chai Shao saw that the atmosphere was a little sad, and quipped.

"It's extreme, it's extreme, how can you say these discouraged words. Lord Tang will definitely be able to return safely! Generals, we congratulate Lord Tang and hope that he will make great contributions to the rank of knight! Li Shiji also agreed.

"Don't say anything else, I, Li Jing, am here to give you a guarantee. It doesn't matter if it's going to be successful or not. I will definitely do my best to protect the life of Lord Tang! This team of people is Li Jing's personal guard, and they will definitely protect the safety of Lord Tang with their lives, as long as they still have a breath, Lord Tang will definitely not be harmed in the slightest! Li Jing didn't dare to guarantee anything, so he could only send his personal guards to protect Tang Jian.

Tang Jian bowed and thanked him, and then boarded the carriage prepared for him by Li Jing and took the dozen or so guards with him. Speeding towards Dingxiang City, light chariots and light horses were much faster than the march of the army. So it will definitely be able to stop the Turks there. Buy time for the Tang army led by Li Jing.

On the other side, Li Kuan was galloping on the steppe with his two hundred dead soldiers, preparing to raid the Turkic tribes.

"Driving the ......" Li Kuan pulled the reins of the horse, and the war horse with human nature under his crotch chased the clouds, and immediately galloped like an arrow off the string. The north wind blew, cutting his face like a steel knife with a handle. Roll up the cloak behind him and blow the red tassels on his helmet. Rushing up a small dirt slope, this is the highest place in the vicinity, although it is less than five meters high relative to the ground below, but it also makes Li Kuan's vision on the slope wider.

Looking around, the surroundings are almost the same. This is the only one in this steppe that is the most inconvenient, there is no reference, and it is difficult to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest. I really don't know how the Turks who have lived in this steppe for generations have discerned the direction, especially in this snow-covered winter, the lead clouds block the sun and the stars, and there is nothing to refer to.

Behind Li Kuan, Xue Wanche followed him like his shadow, and seeing the similar snow scene all around, Xue Wanche took out the scribbled map he had drawn according to Ashinadur's explanation. At that time, Li Kuan did not shy away from anyone, he and Liu Wei both saw the scene of Li Kuan's interrogation of Ashinadur, both of them felt very strange, just the deep voice asked the question, so that the Turkic prince knew everything, this is comparable to immortal magic. The two looked at each other and saw heaviness and horror in each other's eyes, but the two didn't say anything, just understand in their hearts, some things are inconvenient to say.

"Lord Captain, look over there, it should have been a small river before it was covered in snow, and according to the instructions on the map, we are here now!" Xue Wanchece immediately took half a step forward, took the map and pointed to a point on it and said to Li Kuan.

"Oh! How so? Li Kuan didn't see where the place Xue Wanche pointed out looked like a river, it was not much different from other places, and it was full of snow.

"Captain, do you see that the snow there is very flat, and a little lower than the surrounding places? In the form of a ribbon, this is not a river. Xue Wanche explained to Li Kuan.

It is true that the river must be lower than the surrounding ground, and it must be smooth, because there will definitely be dead grass and the like on the ground around it, which will make the snow uneven. These are the details, they are the experience, and Li Kuan lacks these things the most.

"Yes, General Xue is right!" Li Kuan was humbly taught.

determined his own location, then it was much easier to search for the surrounding tribes according to the map, and sure enough, he sent scouts according to the direction explained by Ashinadur, and it didn't take long to get a reply!

"Report ...... Lord Lieutenant, here to the east, about fifty miles, I found a large Turkic tribe, the population is unknown, but the felt canopy is thousands! It should be no less! A scout turned over and dismounted, reporting to Li Kuanyu.

"So close?" Li Kuan didn't expect that this Turkic people were only less than fifty miles away from here, and they were still a big tribe, so they couldn't take down such hard bones with just two hundred people!

"Captain, what should I do? We have too few men, so if we rush to kill for a while, we can kill directly from this end and out from that end. If you don't love war, you can go to the battle if you don't get entangled, and you can even burn the camp, but you can't completely annihilate these Turks! Xue Wanche reminded.

"This ......" Li Kuan also knew that it was okay for them to make a little storm on the grassland with just their little bit, as if it was a bit difficult to wipe out this big tribe of thousands of households, even if the young and strong had already set out to fight, the rest were old and young women and children. However, the Turks' full names are soldiers, and the fighting power of the old and weak tribes left behind is definitely not weak.

"Captain, why don't you summon your big dog?" Liu Wei said loudly, first use the wolves to harass them, make those Turks frightened for a while, and consume their energy, and then they will go forward to check the cheap.

"Well, I'm afraid it won't work! After all, there are only a hundred or ten wolves in the wolf pack, and these Turkic people living in the steppe have long lost their fear of wolves, and the effect is not great! Xue Wanche retorted.

"Try it first! Maybe it doesn't have an effect, so that they can't be at peace day and night, and it only takes two or three days for such a day to drag down a strong man, let alone these women and children! Liu Wei insisted on his opinion.

"Then let's try it first! Now that the Turkic army is probably close to Dingxiang City, we have to hurry up, this tribe can fight if it can, if it can't fight, take a detour, go to the Turkic king's tent to see, maybe there will be other gains! Li Kuan's eyes flashed with a flash of divine light, and he said thoughtfully.

"Lord Captain, are you saying that those two people will go to the Turkic King's Tent?" Xue Wanche asked with a solemn face. The two mysterious people who were inserted by Li Jing'an when he set off, Xue Wanche always felt very dangerous, it seemed that no matter who killed him, he would definitely not survive.

"I don't know, but this Turkic king's tent must be visited, although there must be a lot of Turkic troops guarding there, but it is also very good to put a few arrows far away and keep them busy for a while! Haha...... "Li Kuan thought very openly, the Turkic king's tent will definitely not be able to take it with them, but it can create a false appearance that the Tang Dynasty army broke into the grassland to attack the Turkic king's tent, and such a sudden attack will also hit the morale of the Turks on the battlefield."

"Let's go, let's see how many wolves there are before making a decision!" Li Kuan ordered the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army to rest first, and he took Xue Wanche and Liu Wei to see how big the little brother team of Little Gray Gray was, and whether it could pose a threat to the tribe in front of him, so as to make a decision.

A sharp whistle came out in the distance, this was Li Kuan summoning his summoned beast.

As ever, the howls of wolves came from afar, and they were bleak and desolate. Echoing in this remote grassland, there is a different taste.

A desolate wolf howl was followed by a low growl. This is the barking of Li Kuan's big dog, since this guy became the leader of the pack, he has learned the bad habit of this last finale bark.

With the sound of Suosuo, the blue-black backs of steppe wolves began to appear in the field of vision, which was very conspicuous against the background of snow-white snow. I can't count how many, because these wolves are all traveling at high speed. It's just a rough estimate, there are two or three hundred in the field of vision, it seems that during this time, when Li Kuan and the others were on the road, this wolf pack led by the dog grew again. (To be continued......)
