Chapter 204: A True Warrior

Tuli, Khibi Holi and the leaders of the various tribes left the big tent one after another, leaving Jieli Khan alone sitting alone on the pure white tiger skin chair, with a helpless face and a sigh.

Jieli Khan's henchmen stood respectfully behind Jieli Khan, their eyes flashing, as if they were thinking about something.

After a long silence, Jieli Khan asked Bo Tie, "What is the situation of our army ambushed near Wohu Ridge in Yulin County?" Did the Tang army led by Li Jing enter the ambush circle? According to the calculation of time, after Li Jing received the edict of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, he should return to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, day and night. ”

Bo Tie cautiously replied: "Qi Great Khan, our army has not found any trace of the army led by Li Jing until now. Not long ago, our ambushed army captured a Tang messenger, who brought very bad news. ”

Jieli Khan hurriedly asked, "What news?" ”

Bo Tie looked at the grumpy and moody Jieli Khan with concern, and replied in a low voice: "Li Shimin did not order the army led by Li Jing to go south and return to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, but ordered Li Jing to lead the army north and attack the Khan account of our Great Turkic Khanate in Dingxiang. ”

"What? How so? Jieli Khan stood up angrily and stared at Bo Tie, as if he couldn't believe the truth of the information provided by Bo Tie.

When Jieli calmed down, he muttered in his heart: How many troops does this Li Shimin have? He didn't even let Li Jing return to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, he had the strength to be able to hold back the 400,000 troops of my Great Turkic Khanate? He should definitely not have only 30,000 troops as Li Yi said, there should be at least 100,000 or 200,000 troops. Li Shimin actually let Li Jing lead a large army to attack our Great Turkic Khanate and attack my Khan account in Dingxiang. There are only old and weak women and children left on the grassland, and those people have no fighting power. This war cannot be delayed any longer, and the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for me. Once my 400,000-strong army is dragged to the death by Li Shimin, then Li Jing can not lead the Tang army to wantonly plunder and destroy the territory of the Turkic Khanate?

Come to think of it. Jieli Khan thought of making peace and negotiated peace with the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible. But as soon as he thought of negotiating peace, Jieli Khan felt extremely unwilling in his heart. This time, he raised 400,000 troops to secretly go south through the Longyou secret road, which can be said to be unaware of the ghosts and took the advantage, but now he has no gain except for the loss of 80,000 descendants.

There should only be 200,000 troops at most in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and 80,000 of his descendants were annihilated, and now there should be less than 150,000 troops. He still has more than 300,000 troops. There are still obvious advantages. However, the armies that he can control are not evenly matched, and they still hinder each other, so they cannot form combat power at all.

It's a really bad fight. Obviously, one punch can completely beat Datang down, but this punch is not completely controlled by himself, Tuli and Qi Bi are restraining them, and they can't drop their fists for a long time, so they can only watch Li Shimin control Datang and skillfully avoid it. I watched but couldn't do anything.

After pondering for a long time, Jieli Khan said to Bo Tie: "The matter of capturing the messenger of the Tang Dynasty. Don't let Tuli, Khibi Heli and the leaders of the various tribes know, once they know, they will definitely go back to the grassland. Seeing that the prey of Datang is in front of him, but he can't put his mouth down, this is really an uncomfortable thing. Now Ben Khan does not seek to conquer Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and can fight it. Completely deter the Tang people, it's good to go again. ”

Ten miles outside Chang'an, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin led hundreds of civil and military officials to greet the left and right Qianniuwei army led by Hou Junji, who had just annihilated the 30,000-strong army of Turkic Yarjin in Yao Valley.

Everyone looked at each other from afar, and after a long time, a wriggling black dot appeared in everyone's sight. This puzzled everyone. Ordinary class teachers are not flying flags and golden drums, and the soldiers are full of spirit and magnificent, how can it be such a scene now? So quiet?

In the twilight, there were endless and scattered patches of red dots, squirming hard and slowly in the blood-colored dusk. Strange crutches, stained armor, ragged rags, long hair scattered in the bloody cloth on the forehead, serious injuries dragged on the wooden frame on the ground. The strange thing is that it is such a team, but there is no slight **, and everyone's faces are full of tired smiles. Although the footsteps were so slow and sluggish, the slow and calm gait made anyone believe that they would not stumble in the middle of the process.

Hou Junji, the general of Zuo Qianniuwei, had more than ten wounds all over his body, and walked at the front of the team with his arms hanging.

Li Shimin's heart sank, and he asked in surprise: "Of the 20,000 army, are these people left?" ”

Hou Junji turned over and dismounted, his face twitched a few times, and he cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, the Turkic cavalry is strong, my 20,000-strong army Yaogu ambushed, annihilated 30,000 enemies, and my Datang lost 16,888 people, and only these 3,112 people are alive." They are all warriors of my Datang, and each of them is covered with war wounds, and even these living people, each of them has at least more than ten war wounds. ”

Li Shimin clenched his teeth and did not let his tears fall. He stretched out his hand and gently patted Hou Junji's blood-stained shoulder and said, "In this battle, you fought well!" ”

After that, Li Shimin pointed his whip to the north and said to the scarred Tang Dynasty soldiers: "The world says that the Turkic iron cavalry is invincible, and the Turks have the most warriors. But looking at you, I want to tell the whole world that the truly invincible warriors are in my Datang, under the military banner of my Datang. With your loyalty and bravery, you have proved that you are the most brave and invincible warriors in the world. It is precisely because of you that my Datang can be invincible, invincible, and invincible all over the world, and there is no rival. ”

As he spoke, Tang Emperor Li Shimin pulled out the sword at his waist and pointed high at the sky: "The Tang Dynasty will win!" ”

"Datang will win!" Hou Junji and the remnants of the army under his command, and the civil and military officials behind Li Shimin all shouted with tears in their eyes.

The slogan of Datang's victory echoed repeatedly in the open field. In everyone's suppressed hearts, there is a kind of belief, a kind of hope: Datang has experienced this kind of tribulation, he will not be crushed, he will only grow in the tribulation, grow strong in the tribulation, and finally be reborn with lust, become the most powerful country in the world, and completely become strong.
