Chapter 15: The Turks in Hide
"Your Majesty doesn't know how much property Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin have hidden, but Your Majesty doesn't know the world. For example, in the matter of the Luoyang Treasury, His Majesty did not investigate this matter in order to appease the Qin King in the court, but not investigating it does not mean that he will not be investigated. They can give them whatever His Majesty wants, but the ill-gotten gains that belonged to the Tang Dynasty in the past should also be returned. How can there be a light to take advantage of Datang and not know the reason for losing. Xu Jingzong said.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also pondered this matter, but they are really not as good as Xu Jingzong, this guy is really a capable person, and he has the face in this idea. If you want to check the black accounts of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, I'm afraid that these materials will not be given, and they will have to post a little back. But this is an old account, and it can't be called a big husband's business!
"Du Ruhui, do you think this plan is feasible?" Li Chengzong asked by name.
"It works, what Lord Xu said is reasonable and legitimate." Du Ruhui didn't want to get himself into trouble.
"Very good, then you should quickly send someone to deliver the letter to Xu Shiji. If the two of them don't know what to do, they will even save the 40,000 war horses, so they will do it quickly. Li Chengzong patted Xu Jingzong's shoulder, and he was very optimistic about him.
"The subordinates will go at once." Xu Jingzong and Fang Du retreated.
Zhu Bajie stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty." Concubine De also gave birth to a prince to His Majesty. ”
Li Chengzong didn't say anything, just thinking that he already had three sons, and he wouldn't fight to the death in the future!
In Taiyuan, Li Jing was training and rectifying the soldiers and horses. Shan Xiongxin and Qin Qiong were his left and right generals, while Feng Li was in Youzhou to prevent the Goguryeo people from taking the opportunity to invade the territory. The Goguryeo's virtue of taking advantage of each other and backsliding on their word was quite unbearable, and it was not an overnight thing for them to privately exchange foreign aid with the Turks. At the time of the Sui Dynasty, they hooked up with the Turks.
Su Dingfang led a battalion of 1,000 people, one person and two horses. This inspection felt very strange, it was already a Turkic territory, but there was not a single Turkic tent to be seen, let alone the shadow of the Turks. Many places have been burned, and I don't know what was burned.
"Go back." If Su Dingfang had gone deeper before, he would not have been unwilling to see the Turks die. It's just that military orders are like mountains, and Li Jing has already slaughtered two people who don't abide by military discipline and don't obey military orders. One of them is still surnamed Li, and it is rumored that he is the son of the prince of which road. He Su Dingfang hasn't lived enough, and if he says that he has explored thirty miles, he will explore thirty miles, and one more mile should not be.
"General, we didn't see anything!" Xue Rengui interjected.
"What's wrong with not seeing? It's not that we don't look at it, but what do you want us to see where there is not even a ghost? The Turks must have run away, and they knew that they couldn't fight, so they withdrew in advance. "If he is replaced by Su Dingfang, he will also run, and it is a waste of life to fight if the strength is not equal, it is better to retreat to a safer place first, and wait to see the situation first.
Xue Rengui said: "It's been a few days, and I haven't killed a single Turk."
"How do you kid know how to kill, did General Li Jing teach you this?" Su Dingfang was very suspicious of how Li Jing taught his disciples, and Xue Rengui followed him out for a few days, and he talked about killing the Turks for a few days.
"This is not taught by the master, it is the explanation of His Majesty." Xue Rengui said confidently.
"Nonsense, when did you kid meet Your Majesty. When I see Your Majesty, I can't teach you to just think about killing, right?"
Xue Rengui said: "Didn't Your Majesty say that if you don't fight, you won't fight, and if you do, you have to be killed?" I have always taken His Majesty's words to heart. ”
Su Dingfang remembered that this Xue Rengui had a small book, which seemed to be a complete collection of His Majesty's quotations. This kid is not a military general, but he can also be a civil official, and with this perseverance and perseverance, he will definitely be able to be a powerful minister.
"Unlucky" Su Dingfang saw that it was going to rain heavily, and scolded on his lips. When I went, it was still good, and when I came back, it became a soup chicken.
Li Jing said: "I haven't seen anyone in thirty miles?"
"Yes, let alone people, I haven't seen anything that can move." Su Dingfang said.
"It seems that the Turks want to avoid us and not fight with us." Qin Qiong said.
Li Jing is not afraid of hard fighting, what he is afraid of is not hard fighting, if the Turks are bent on hiding and seeking, they can drag their 100,000 troops to death. Besides, 100,000 people eat and drink Lazar and are tied to money.
"But where are they hiding? We don't even have a direction. The two most powerful are the newly rising Tuli and the tenacious Jieli. Perhaps by this time they have formed an alliance to deal with us together. Shan Xiong said.
After hearing this, Li Jing said: "It is certain to join forces, it is just a temporary compromise with each other, neither of them wants to be annexed, let alone annexed by the other party." It would be nice if someone could come back with some news. ”
Wang Xiaohu didn't speak, obviously sensing that Li Jing was looking at him, but he also pretended not to know. The eldest grandson Wuji was not there, and followed Li Shimin to Tubo. The information about this pair of Turks has fallen on his head again, but at the moment the Turks are not ordinary dangers, if they used to be considered nine deaths and one life, then now they are ten deaths and no life if they go in.
"General Wang, you are most familiar with the Turks, I don't know if you can have a good time." Li Jing asked with a pleasant face.
"It's true that I am familiar, but since my eldest grandson Wuji and I were detained, there have been fewer and fewer contacts between our Datang and the Turks. The situation may have been different for a long time as I knew. Wang Xiaohu tried his best to clear up the fact that he knew about the Turks. Right now, it's a talisman.
Li Jing said: "Can General Wang lead people deep into the Turkic hinterland to explore some new information?" After all, General Su Dingfang did not understand the situation of the Turks and was very unfamiliar with the vast steppe. I'm afraid that if he goes deeper, he will be ambushed and it will be difficult to get out. ”
"General Qin and General Shan have experienced a hundred battles, that is much stronger than me, where is their turn to get my shot." Wang Xiaohu will not be deceived by Li Jing's words, so many officials who are bigger than me don't charge, it's too ruthless for me to charge!
"The two of them still have to prepare their soldiers and horses, and it is difficult to get out." Li Jing didn't expect Wang Xiaohu, who was full of gangsterism and seemed to be not afraid of heaven and earth, to be so timid, and he was unwilling to go after persuading him for so long.
"I'll find out on behalf of General Wang." Xue Rengui stood up with his fists clenched.
Even if Li Jing is willing to agree, he can't agree, and there is no way to explain to His Majesty.
"You're young and inexperienced, you can't. This matter belongs to General Wang Xiaohu, who must find out the movements of the Turks, otherwise he will not be allowed to return to the camp. ”
Wang Xiaohu saw that Xue Rengui was going to replace him, but before he could be happy, Li Jing made him cry.
"How many people will you bring?" Wang Xiaohu saw that Li Jing was playing hard, and he lost his temper.
"Two thousand people, one person and two riders are enough!"
"No, one person and three riders." You must also be completely prepared to escape, and you will not be able to run back to the camp without a horse.
"Okay, then one person and three riders." Li Jing did not hesitate, even if the whole army was wiped out, as long as he found the location of the Turkic army. It would be worth it to have your army able to capture them all. (To be continued.) )
