Chapter 7 The Northward March

The black-robed general was stunned for a moment, and then he also understood what he was referring to, shook his head and said: "Don't worry, this khan, what I did is very hidden, and there is no proof of death, no one knows my ......."

Yi Nan nodded reassuringly, and then sighed again: "It's a pity! It's rare to have this opportunity, and if you miss it, there will be no second time. ”

The black-robed general didn't speak, but his expression was a little helpless, he shook his head and said, "Khan, what are your plans next?" ”

Yi Nan said categorically: "Don't think about it, continue to attack the Turks, attack Jieli, regardless of casualties, don't care about the result, take killing and injuring them as the first priority, and put looting or anything last!" Food, cattle and sheep, as long as we have land, we will have it. Regardless of these interests now, I want to complete the tasks given to me by Datang to the greatest extent. Heru is too murderous, so this task is up to you. ”

Yi Nan patted the black-robed general's shoulder, his face serious.

The black-robed general said in a deep voice: "Understood! ”

After receiving the order, the black-robed general didn't say a word, and directly lit up 20,000 Tiele knights again, and slaughtered the Turks in a mighty manner.

The number of 20,000 Tiele knights is not much, but it is a rare elite. It gives full play to the fighting mode of the grassland peoples, and it is also a well-known tactic of "the enemy advances and retreats, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I pursue", giving full play to the mobility to the extreme.

The mobility of the Turkic cavalry was certainly not bad, but in the case of communication, the fleeing side clearly took the initiative.

In the face of Xue Yantuo's repeated attacks, this winter the Turks made the Turks jump, and the whole winter seemed to be in a panic.

Jieli is like a tiger that falls into Pingyang. Let Xue Yantuo force one head and two big.

In the end, under the planning of Zhao Deyan, the Turks launched a counter-encirclement at the end of winter. Trapped 20,000 Tiele knights, and a bloody battle began.

100,000 Turkic soldiers besieged and killed 20,000 Tiele knights, and the Tiele people also showed their bravery, and at the cost of 15,000 soldiers, they broke through the siege and fled into the hinterland of Xue Yantuo.

Jieli suffered a small loss once, and he didn't dare to go deep into Xue Yantuo. Annihilate this enemy on the back.

Xue Yantuo was originally a recently established army, and there were not enough soldiers and horses, so he moved troops repeatedly. And not to plunder, it has caused a great military burden to the clan tribe. Now the loss of 15,000 strong soldiers has made the original bad situation even worse. In the short term, there is no way to fight anymore.

Chang'an Prince's Mansion!

The Great War is coming!

Li Shimin also shifted his focus to the north. The distance between the Turks, Xue Yantuo and Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was thousands of miles, but their situation was like snowflakes, and little by little it spread to Li Shimin's case, so that he, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and the supreme military commander of the Tang Dynasty, knew the situation in the north well.

The news of Xue Yantuo's defeat also reached him on this day......

Looking at the news of Xue Yantuo's fiasco, Li Shimin's fingers kept beating on the desk, and below him were his most relied on confidants: Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Eldest Sun Wuji, and Hou Junji.

"This Yi man, in order to get the support of my Datang. What a sacrifice! Li Shimin said with a smile.

Hou Junji preemptively said: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different." Yi Nan so. There must be something to be desired, and the more he is like this, the more he cannot keep him. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's gaze swept over Hou Junji's body, revealing a trace of incomprehension.

Du Ruhui frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

Fang Xuanling smiled indifferently: "Hou Yuhou is right, Yi Nan is so angry with my Tang Dynasty, and his ambition is not small. But I mean that it is better to use it than to destroy it. With the current situation of my Datang, if I want to destroy the two tribes in one fell swoop, I am really a little weak. ”

Li Shimin glanced at Hou Junji dissatisfiedly, this Fang Xuanling was the mastermind under his command and the head of all the strategists. Although there is no explicit stipulation, first come, first come, but in this case, Fang Xuanling should be the first to be regarded as the basic respect. Hou Junji was eager to answer, and he really meant to grab the table.

Fang Xuanling is elegant and elegant, and he doesn't care about these, but as the leader, he can't help but care.

Hou Junji made Li Shimin stunned, and he was shocked in his heart, and he didn't dare to do anything unusual: deep in his heart, he was extremely anxious.

He regarded Luo Shixin as an opponent, but Luo Shixin is now going farther and farther, and he is still standing still, anxiously holding the idea of grabbing the watch. But he didn't want to let Li Shimin warn him just when he opened his mouth, and he was extremely depressed.

The eldest grandson Wuji bowed his head and said: "The subordinates agree with Fang Zhongyun's opinion, Xue Yantuo lives in Mobei, which is deeper than the Turks, and does not talk about the past when he fights Xue Yantuo. If it is to be fought, the front line will be more than doubled, how can the economy support it? ”

Du Ruhui said: "Fighting Xue Yantuo, the gains outweigh the losses, and the expansion of the Western Regions is very important. ”

Li Shimin thought of Luo Shixin's words when he established the capital to block the relocation of the capital, nodded silently, and recognized the construction of the three of them, although Hou Junji is talented, but after all, he is good at military affairs, so his political vision is far inferior to Fang Mou Du Duan and the eldest grandson fox.

"Then what do you think, I've been watching on the wall for a long time, and now I'm the Tang Dynasty?" A hint of fierceness flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.

"Hit!" Fang Xuanling, who has always talked a lot, only said one word here.

After him, Du Ruhui, eldest grandson Wuji, and Hou Junji also expressed their opinions one after another, all of which were typing without exception.

"It's really time!" Li Shimin made his final decision in the face of the four "typing" words of his henchmen, and he waited for this day.

It has been more than two years since he seized the crown prince.

In the past two years, he has been conscientious, meticulous, and forgetting to sleep and eat to govern the Tang Dynasty......

He knew that his method of seizing the position of the crown prince was to frame his own eldest brother, and it was not honorable. So he wants to prove himself even more, to prove that he is a good prince, a prince who is better than his eldest brother.

In the past two years, the government and the opposition have praised him as the new prince, but he is not satisfied...... He knew that if his eldest brother Li Jiancheng was still in this position, he would not be worse than him in politics.

The only thing that can prove that he is stronger than Li Jiancheng is his military exploits, and he proves himself with the exploits of destroying the Turks, the great enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and proves that he is more suitable than Li Jiancheng to become the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin found Li Yuan with the latest information.

Following!

Li Yuan rarely went to the court on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and put forward Li Shimin's intention to conquer the Turks in the court, and openly discussed.

After some discussion, Li Yuan finally issued a decree appointing Li Jing, the acting prince of the country, as the general manager of the Heng'an Road march, with Wei Chi Jingde and Xue Wanche as the deputies, leading the Chinese army; The British Duke Xu Shichang was the head of the Tongmo Road march, and Zhang Gongjin and Gao Yongsheng were the deputies, and the main force was led by the East Road to directly attack the Eastern Turkic hinterland; Luo Shixin, the general of the Xiazhou Metropolitan Governor Town Army, was the head of the Datong Road March, and Xue Wanjun was the deputy.

The three-way army, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, all under Li Jingjie's degree, marched north. (To be continued......)
