One day, two days, three days......

1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks......

Time passed bit by bit, and Right Xiaowei's mastery of Modao combat techniques became more and more mature. This is also the advantage brought by veterans, veterans already have a strong Su zhì, the acceptance of various tactics is far better than that of new recruits, and they belong to the same army, and they have already had a tacit understanding with each other. As long as they are given a certain amount of time to run in, they can operate freely in complex and changeable tactics.

Although the Modao combat method is flexible and changeable, it is not cumbersome and complicated, and it is difficult to defeat the veterans of the battlefield such as Right Xiaowei.

The 2,500 soldiers of the right Xiaowei grew rapidly in the time that they were given a new place under the perfunctory instructions of the military department.

In addition to training in the military camp these days, Luo Shixin is arguing with Zheng Liwan at home.

There is a beautiful woman chatting at home, and Luo Shixin also feels that life has added a lot of fun.

Life is full and satisfying.

But soon the peaceful life was shattered by news from the north.

"General Luo, the Turks have invaded!" The one who sued Luo Shixin for this news was Tang Xian, who was also the general of the Right Xiaowei. Unlike Luo Shixin, Tang Xian has been the Right Xiaowei for two years, and he already has a certain amount of power in Chang'an, and his ears and eyes are much better than him, and he got the news not long after the news came.

Luo Shixin glanced at Tang Xian with a little calm, and said in his heart: "It's finally here!" ”

As he expected, although the course of history had produced a small change because of his appearance, the butterfly effect was far from enough to affect the overall situation, especially in the face of the insatiable Turkic Khan Jieli.

Jieli Khan is also a British lord for the Turks, as the king of the northern steppes, sitting on hundreds of thousands of brave and warlike Turkic cavalry, can be described as the first force in the world. When the world was in turmoil, Jieli imitated the tribute system of the Central Plains, and asked the princes of the Central Plains next to the Turkic territory to pay tribute to them, to put it bluntly, to pay protection fees, if they did not pay, then they would send troops to rob them.

As a steppe people, the Turks have wolf-like habits, and will never face you head-on, they often form groups of 10,000 people, encounter weak annihilation, encounter large armies and flee, and specialize in looting villages, burning and looting. So that all the princes who were next to the Turks were powerless.

Whether it is Li Tang, Liu Wuzhou, Xue Ju or Dou Jiande, these heroes who dominate the party, they all have to obediently pay protection fees. Not to mention Gao Kaidao, Yuan Junzhang, and Liang Shidu, the little princes who are hung with Turkic thugs, they almost recognized Jieli as their father, and the Turks pointed to them wherever they fought.

This is also a helpless thing, even if Li Tang and Dou Jiande are not weak, they are really powerless in the face of the Turkic cavalry. The Turks slaughtered one village today, and tomorrow they will rob two counties, and in the long run, who can stand it, they can't let all the people live in the city, without farming or working.

Instead of the Turks coming to rob, it is better to obediently pay the protection fee, which can also avoid the casualties of the people, and the losses are not so severe.

But the most important thing is to pay the protection fee, so that they can have extra troops to expand their territory. Take Li Tang as an example, if they don't obediently give gifts to the Turks, what will they do to fight Guanzhong? Those tens of thousands of recruits, thank God for being able to defend against the Turks, how can there be any Tang Dynasty.

Under this mechanism, the Turks were able to acquire a large amount of wealth without a single soldier, and the prestige of Jieli Khan also rose.

But as the Tang Dynasty gradually unified, the princes who were filial to the Turks were all wiped out by Li Tang. Naturally, the protection fee received by the Turks shrank significantly, and Li Tang became stronger and stronger, and gradually began to ignore the Turks and no longer pay protection fees. Li Yuan even ordered Li Jiancheng to take charge of the northern Turkic defense line and prepare to fight the Turks.

The Turks were unwilling to fly like this, and went around supporting the strength of the enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and even did not hesitate to send troops and food. After Liu Heimin was destroyed, Jieli found that there were a lot of little brothers around, and there was no one who could compete with Li Tang.

So, Jieli decided to do it himself.

Wude five years, early September.

The Turkic army flocked to Li Tang all over the mountains, saying that they would rely on themselves and have enough food and clothing.

Seeing that Luo Shixin had no extra expression, Tang Xian was surprised: "General Luo already knew in advance?" ”

Luo Shixin shook his head and said, "I didn't get the news, I just had mental preparation." It is impossible for the Turks to sit idly by and watch our Tang Dynasty grow stronger and stronger, and now it is autumn, and the autumn is high and fat, which is suitable for their army to act. ”

Tang Xian said solemnly: "What the general said is good, but this time it is not an ordinary invasion. It is said that the Turks dispatched 200,000 elite horsemen, and the momentum was so great that the mountains and fields were like ants gathering. ”

Luo Shixin couldn't help but gasp when he heard this number, 200,000 elite riders ...... Don't say that it is 200,000 elite cavalry, with Li Tang's current strength, it is very suspenseful to gather 200,000 equal troops in a short period of time, let alone 200,000 cavalry.

In front of the 200,000 cavalry, the 2,500 soldiers under his command were like ants, and each person could drown with a mouthful of spit.

"What are you going to do?" Although Luo Shixin is said to be high and bold, the number of 200,000 elite riders is really a bit scary.

Tang Xian shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "I don't know the specific situation or not." ”

This overwhelming Turkish army naturally triggered a shock in the government and the opposition.

Whether to fight or not, there was a lot of noise in the court.

Those who say that they don't fight think that the Turks are powerful, and what Datang needs is to recuperate, not to fight the Turks to the death when they are weak. Saying that the fight naturally means that he was forced by the shape shì at the beginning, and had to bow his head to the Turks, and now he has the strength to fight a war, and it hurts the dignity of the Tang Dynasty to bow his head. What's more, the Turks are an insatiable wolf, and blind compromise can never satisfy his appetite.

The court said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable, and the quarrel was fierce.

However, this has nothing to do with Luo Shixin, although Luo Shixin has entered the Twelve Guards and can be regarded as one of Li Tang's core generals, the overall policy of the court still has nothing to do with him. However, he was still very concerned about the situation in this regard, and he took great pains to reform the right Xiaowei for a while, so that he could fight with the Turks.

To fight or not, he cares a lot.

Don't look at the noisy court is very happy, there are only two people who can really influence the situation.

In this overall situation, Li Yuan only trusted his two sons: the crown prince Li Jiancheng, and the second son, Tiance General Li Shimin.

Li Jiancheng was responsible for the formation of the defense line against the Turks, and he was responsible for the Turkic invasion.

Li Shimin, as the general of Tiance, is in charge of Li Tang's conquest, and he also likes to speak with strength, and he is also a typing.

The eldest and the second are all talking about fighting!

Princess Pingyang also came out at this time and said to fight.

Hit it!

Li Yuan's follow-up order was not unpleasant, and he immediately issued an appointment with Li Jiancheng as the main and Li Shimin as the auxiliary, and the two of them were fully responsible for resisting the Turkic invasion.

Princess Pingyang looked at Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, who were gathered together to discuss, and said, "Big brother, second brother, don't forget me in this battle." The Turkic soldiers were divided into three routes, one of us along the way. ”
