Chapter 911: Layout
The three-way army attacked together, although the number was not as good as the Turks, but the leading generals were not bad, and on the other side, Qi Bi He Li was certainly a general, but unfortunately, the Turks were the only one, 100,000 troops, rushing left and right, to resist the crazy attack from three sides, where could it work, after fighting for half an hour, the Turks finally retreated, and the 100,000 army fell apart in an instant, and Qi Bi He Li only fled in a hurry with 50,000 of the troops, but behind him, Li Xin personally led the army to pursue, Pursued until eighty miles deep in the grassland, then collected the troops and returned to the camp, along the way, the corpses of the Turkic soldiers of the Beijing Division, on the official road, between the mountains and fields, were full of blood.
After the Tang Dynasty was established, he attacked the Turks again, this time it came so suddenly, after the two sides encountered, they began to fight bravely, if it were not for Zheng, Duan Qi, He Sui and others to come, I am afraid that Li Xin was really besieged by an army of 100,000.
"Your Majesty." When the army returned to Helan Mountain, they saw Du Ruhui's face solemn.
"Hey!" Li Xin knew at a glance that the Guards and the Shura Army suffered heavy losses, even the serious army, in the end, it was hard-hitting, without any conspiracy to assist, this time it was able to win, most of it was the brave fighting of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, so that the losses would be more.
"How much have you lost?" Li Xin sighed.
"At least 13,000 soldiers were killed, 3,000 were seriously wounded, almost all of them had wounds. The Guards and Shura armies lost almost half of their losses. Du Ruhui said in a low voice. The reason why there are fewer serious injuries than those killed is because these soldiers fought bravely and never thought that they would survive.
"Let the imperial doctor and the accompanying doctor go together to save as many people as possible." Li Xin instructed: "Once the success will be achieved, ten thousand bones will wither, today's revenge, sooner or later, I will have to take revenge, Turkic, Goguryeo and Tubo, as well as those guys in the imperial court." Everyone should be killed. Li Xin's tone was full of anger, if it weren't for these guys, where would there be so many guards and Shura troops.
"Yes." Du Ruhui hurriedly responded.
"Alright, stand down!" Li Xin frowned and waved his hand, and was about to let people take off their armor, when he suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground all of a sudden, with bursts of exclamations in his ears.
"Father! Father! Father woke up. I don't know how long it took for Li Chengzong's shouts to hear in my ears, and then I opened my eyes. But he found that he was walking in the camp, but he saw the eldest grandson Wujian and others kneeling there.
"Get up! Get up! Nothing serious. Li Xin smiled bitterly.
"Your Majesty is fighting on the battlefield, and you have used too much force, so you still have to be careful to cultivate." It was a disciple of Sun Simiao who spoke, following Li Xin's side to the west, and when he saw Li Xin wake up, his face suddenly felt a little relieved, and said: "The heavy armor is too heavy, after Your Majesty fights." Charging into battle again, although His Majesty is strong, but this kind of thing is still less to do. ”
"Got it." Li Xin also felt that he had no strength in his body, as if the strength of his whole body had been drained. A wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he really regarded himself as the god of war. "How long have I been asleep?" ”
"One day. Your Majesty has been sleeping for a day. Du Ruhui said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, but I scared the minister to death, if something goes wrong with Your Majesty." This, how good is this! ”
Li Xin glanced at Du Ruhui, but saw that Du Ruhui's eyes were red. Immediately knowing his pressure, he sighed: "Don't worry, I'm just out of strength, where is it so exaggerated, I'm only thirty years old now, and I still have a lot of time!" Have you arranged the things in the camp? ”
"General Xuanba is in charge of the guards, and the four generals Luo Shixin, Duan Qi, Cheng Yanjin, and Zhengcheng are guarding the four camps in front and behind. General Xu Yi led the Shura army to patrol the left and right, and General He Sui led the army to defend the mountain. Du Ruhui hurriedly said.
"That's very good. The soldiers who came to the aid this time should be rewarded heavily, and the bereavement pensions for the war dead and seriously injured will be doubled. Li Xin thought for a while and said: "Passing the decree, add Zheng Zheng as the Duke of Su Guo, Duan Qi as the Duke of Shen Guo, Xu Yi as the Marquis of Dingbian, He Sui as the Marquis of Le'an, Luo Shixin, Li Xuanba, and Cheng Yanjin as the officials of the Ministry of Records." ”
"Obey." Du Ruhui hurriedly ordered someone to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
"Keming has been with me for a long time, assisted by Keming, I don't have to worry about the affairs of the court, you and the general, and Pei Shiju are all my right-hand men, they are already the kings of the county, you can't be less, and you will be crowned the king of Hengshan." Li Xin looked at Du Ruhan and said with a smile: "In the future, like them, the descendants of me will be sacrificed at four o'clock and deserve to enjoy the temple." ”
"Your Majesty." Du Ruhui fell to his knees all of a sudden, cried bitterly, and said, "Your Majesty, how can you be so rewarded." "Among the three founding ministers, Pei Shiju and Li Jing have all been crowned kings, only Du Ruhui has not been crowned king, although no one said anything in front of Du Ruhui, but Du Ruhui can also feel it.
"This king should have been crowned a long time ago, but you also know that sometimes it is not a good thing to be crowned king. Chengzong, remember, in the future, the court will not be crowned king if it is not the Li family and the Yang family, hey, now it is my Li family. Li Xin pointed at Du Ruhui and said: "Lord Du has followed your father for a long time, and he has made outstanding achievements, so he was crowned the throne." But his descendants can only be dukes. ”
"Erchen understands." Li Chengzong hurriedly said.
"Xuanba, come in!" Li Xin looked into the distance, but saw a thin body sitting at the entrance of the big tent, stretched out his right hand, beckoned it over, saw Li Xuanba's gloomy face, and said with a smile: "You lead the King of Han to the camp of wounded soldiers." Chengzong, remember, you can get this position, not only because you are my son, but more importantly, the assistance of the military generals, but in the final analysis, it is those ordinary soldiers who are loyal to the Tang Dynasty, they are the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"Erchen understands." Li Chengzong's eyes showed confusion, but he still wrote it down, he knew that his father would never deceive him, so he quickly followed Li Xuanba to the camp of wounded soldiers.
"Keming, remember, I was injured and still hasn't woken up. And you have to pretend to be sad. Li Xin swept the concubines and said, "I want to see who is presumptuous in the court, and if they want my life, I want the lives of their nine clans." ”
"Yes." The faces of the eldest grandson Wujian and the other women changed, knowing that Li Xin had made up his mind this time, whoever dared to drop the chain was afraid that he would face Li Xin's crazy revenge, and who would dare to talk nonsense at this time.
"Jinyiwei must quickly feedback the situation in Jingzhong." Li Xin said coldly: "No matter who I meet this time, I will not show mercy. Li Xin's tone was murderous, if it weren't for the fact that Jinyiwei happened to discover the whereabouts of the Turks this time, found out that Ashina Simo had fled, and sent reinforcements in time, I am afraid that Li Xin could only attack the army of more than 100,000 with 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the surrounding soldiers and horses would not have had time to rescue at all, even if He Sui and others came, the strength would not be enough to support the defeat of the Turks. It can be said that this was an extremely difficult battle, and although it was won in the end, if it was lost, the consequences would be extremely serious.
"Yes, Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to Beijing first." Wei Yuancheng glanced at Li Zhiwan in the distance, and his heart was even more gloating. If the news of Li Xin's incident reaches Chang'an, the people in Chang'an are afraid that they will move.
"Yes." Li Xin thought for a while and said: "Tell Chu Suiliang that it's okay to move, but you must not do anything, and you can't do too much." Li Xin glanced at Wei Yuancheng.
Wei Yuancheng was shocked in his heart, and quickly lowered his head, although he was smart, Li Xin was not a fool, and he saw through his calculations at once. Where to dare to speak.
Li Zhiwan on the side breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and just glanced at Wei Yuancheng with angry eyes, she is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very smart, Wei Yuancheng's words seem to be for Li Xin's consideration, but the fundamental thing is to deal with her own son. At this time, she was a little worried, worried about her son's situation in Chang'an.
Although it is good to stay in Chang'an, Li Zhiwan knows that Li Xin's determination to pass on the throne to Li Chengzong has been decided, as long as Li Chengzong does not go too far in the future, the position of the crown prince will definitely be his. Li Zhiwan didn't know what to do in the future, but she definitely didn't want her son to be kicked out of the prince's battle now.
It's better to be the person next to her pillow, at the most critical time, she protected her son and vetoed Wei Yuancheng's proposal, but what you Wei Yuancheng did today, she Li Zhiwan will remember it in her heart, and sooner or later she will find the scene again.
When Li Xuanba appeared in the camp with Li Chengzong, the soldiers in the army quickly understood that Li Chengzong may be the heir of the future empire, although the heir is very young, but he has Li Xin's demeanor in his actions, inspecting the barracks, comforting the wounded soldiers, enduring the fear in his heart, and talking cordially with those wounded soldiers, the general's morale has recovered a lot in an instant, Even with Li Chengzong's prestige in the army, he has increased a lot.
"Uncle, no wonder my father asked me to come to the army for a walk, Chengzong only knew at this time that it was not easy for the Tang Dynasty." Li Chengzong looked at the camp under the mountain and said softly.
"Your Highness can have such an idea, the emperor must be very happy to hear it." Li Xuanba looked at Li Chengzong, with a hint of different color in his eyes, Li Chengzong was able to think of these at a young age, it was already very good. Maybe it's not bad for such a person to be the emperor, at least it's still very good for the generals in the army.
"I don't know what the situation in Chang'an City is now?" Li Chengzong is still a little worried. (To be continued.) )
