Ha, it's finally here! Li Zhen sighed lightly, looking at the flaming red banner fluttering in the wind in the smoke and dust, and finally let go of the hanging heart - as long as he had expected that it would only be the Tang Army, but Li Zhen was still a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, the battle had just passed, the whole army was exhausted, and he had long lost the desire to fight.

"Huaiyu, you lead all the troops to clean up the battlefield immediately, and this king will come when he goes." As soon as Li Zhen's voice fell, he didn't give Qin Huaiyu a chance to speak, so he hurriedly ran down the city, and said loudly as he ran: "Come on, open the city gate, this king will personally come out to greet you." ”

The snow dragon horse has been tied to the tethered horse pillar under the city these days, listening to the sound of fighting, but there is no use for it, I have been waiting impatiently, at this time I saw Li Zhen down the city gate, immediately excited to snort, people stood up, neighed, with an excited little look to see Li Zhen straight happy, hurriedly ran forward, gently patted the head of the snow dragon horse, appeased, then turned over the horse, along the city gate that had just opened a crack and rushed out, just out of the city not far away, Immediately he found that the bright silver spear that he had shot Timur was inserted deep outside the city gate, and in great joy, he stepped forward, stretched out his hand, pulled out the gun, put it in his hand, and looked at the place where the smoke and dust came up to meet him.

"Stop coming!" The Tang Army's Xiliang cavalry, who was rushing towards Shenwu City, saw from a distance a general covered in blood was rushing out of Shenwu City, and one of the generals at the head hurriedly waved his hand to signal the whole army to stop, and shouted loudly.

Oh, what a strong cavalry! Li Zhen saw that the Xiliang cavalry that was galloping suddenly stopped, and it didn't take much time to set up a cavalry charging array, and he couldn't help but cheer in his heart, restrained the snow dragon horse who was galloping happily, and said in a loud voice: "Li Zhen, the former vanguard officer of the Western Expeditionary Army, the last general, asked to see Li Shuai, and hoped that the general would be the general on his behalf. As soon as Li Zhen's words fell, the front row of soldiers in the Xiliang Cavalry suddenly dodged a passage, and a white-bearded veteran in his early fifties walked out surrounded by a group of generals, this person was Li Xiyu, the deputy commander of the Western Expeditionary Army.

Li Xianyu is Li Zhen's uncle, of course, the blood relationship between each other has long been out of the five suits, although the position is high and powerful, but basically they are officials in other places, rarely return to Beijing, and Li Zhen has never befriended courtiers, this is the first time to see Li Zhen with his own eyes, but at first sight, he greatly appreciated it, not entirely because of Li Zhen's strategy because of this big victory, or even because Li Zhen Wentao is famous all over the world. It is because when Li Zhen reported his home, he was in the name of the former vanguard officer of the Western Expeditionary Army, rather than the title of King Yue, which shows Li Zhen's respect for his deputy marshal Li Xiyu.

"His Royal Highness King Yue is polite, the old decay is Li Xiyu, His Royal Highness adheres to the divine martial arts, and is willing to take risks for the country and the people, and the old decay admires it." Li Xiyu stepped forward immediately, stroked his beard, and said very politely.

Li Zhen has never seen Li Xianyu, but there is a detailed record of this person in the "Rising Sun", knowing that this person has always been upright and not smiling, even in the face of a generation of emperor Li Shimin rarely said polite words, at this time saw that Li Xianyu was very polite to himself, he was really stunned for a moment, but he didn't think much about it, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "The last general will see the marshal, the enemy chieftain has fled to the direction of Kaiyang, and the last will take the road of Yungang for this person, but his line is also fast, and the Datong army is afraid that he will not be able to stop it, and besides, this thief is treacherous, and his combat strength has not been damaged, If he fled back to the grassland, he was afraid of future troubles, so the general implored the commander to immediately send troops to pursue him, so that the enemy chief would not escape, and the commander would be aware of it. ”

Li Xianyu has fought a few battles, but he is still a literati at the bottom, and he is not proficient in strategy, this time according to Li Zhen's strategy, the whole army detoured from Daizhou, crossed the Pingling Trail, traveled day and night, traveled nearly five hundred miles, and was already exhausted, and had just fought a battle in Shahuoling. The second department of Fugu has been subordinated to my Tang Dynasty, Li Shuai has raised troops to take Shuozhou, the major event is basically settled, even if there are fish that have slipped through the net, it is not to be afraid, after the beginning of spring, our army will go deep into the grassland and wipe out the thieves in one fell swoop It is already an easy thing, and our army has a long-distance attack, after a long battle, the army is tired, I am afraid it will be difficult to fight again, why not wait for the beginning of spring and then discuss the suppression? ”

Dizzy, this dead old man doesn't understand war, if he doesn't beat the water dog, will he wait for the dog to heal and bite again? Damn, a whole bunch of rambling stuff full of, grandma's, tired? Lao Tzu is not more tired than you, damn it, if you don't pick up the skin of a generous child this time, you will have to toss in the future. Li Zhen hated a lot in his heart, but he couldn't attack Li Xianyu, without him, although Li Zhen is a prince, but the official title is just a pioneer officer, how can he lose his temper with the deputy marshal, seeing that Li Zhengyu doesn't want to send troops, Li Zhen is angry and anxious, helpless, forced to suppress the anger in his heart, and said very earnestly: "The last general thinks that the evil is exhausted, and it is advisable to chase the poor with the remaining bravery, and Mo Xuebawang sells his reputation!" Although our army is tired, so is the enemy's army, so I implore the commander to think twice. ”

"It is advisable to chase the poor with the remaining bravery, and Mo Xuebawang sells his reputation? Okay, good sentence, I have heard for a long time that His Royal Highness the King of Yue is a martial artist, and today I saw that it was really like this, good! Good! Li Xiyu was good for a long time, but he didn't say what was good, and he didn't mention the matter of soldiers at all, which really made Li Zhen so angry that his nose was crooked to the side.

Dog's day, it's good or not, it's also written by Lao Mao, it's about our shit, damn it, this old thing is clear that he just doesn't want to send troops, damn it, literati leading soldiers is fucking this virtue! Li Zhen was angry, but he didn't bring it to his face, but just said calmly: "The big marshal has a good reputation, and the last general wants to borrow 5,000 troops from the big marshal as a vanguard, how about asking the big marshal and Li Shuai to follow up slowly?" ”

"This ......" Li Xianyu glanced at Li Zhen, and didn't know how to say it for a while--I don't want to borrow troops, and I'm afraid that Li Zhen will be accused of delaying the fighter plane after returning to the dynasty, after all, Li Zhen is the prince, and the formulator of this strategy, and the hero of guarding the gods. Looking at Li Zhen's bloody appearance, you know that this guy is a militant, once there is a mistake on the battlefield, what will Li Xiyu use to explain to Li Shimin?

"Your Highness, the thief chief is cunning, the retreat is too fast, I am afraid that there will be an ambush behind, if it is an ambush, it is not counted, well, it is better to be so good, after the old man reports to Li Shuai, how about Li Shuai decide?" Li Xiyu pondered for a while, and finally made up an excuse that was not too bad.

Dizzy, look at this excuse? Grandma's, Li Ji is still behind at this time, coming and going, plus the time of the discussion, how can it be done in two or three hours, it is almost dark, and when Li Ji comes to order, I am afraid that the daylily will be cold! Li Zhen was really anxious, frowned, and said as gently as possible: "Marshal Mingjian, the last general will not really fight with the enemy army, but just ask to contain the enemy army and prevent the enemy army from escaping without a trace. ”

Can it be? Oh, as far as Li Zhen's less than 5,000 men and horses dare to defend Shenwu under the oppression of more than 100,000 troops, how can Li Xianyu rest assured, but seeing that Li Zhen has already said this, I really don't know how to say no, after thinking about it, Li Zhenyu said helplessly: "Okay, the old man will borrow 5,000 soldiers and His Royal Highness, but His Royal Highness must not fight with the enemy before my army arrives, if this order is violated, the old soldiers must not borrow." ”

Hehe, if there are soldiers, it will be done, no matter what the fucking military order, Lao Tzu depends on the situation, who the fuck will be okay to rush Xue Yantuo's 80,000 army with such a small number of troops, grandma, as long as you are willing to borrow troops, we don't have to worry about you not hurrying to catch up with us! Li Zhen was very proud in her heart, but she said calmly on her face: "Follow the order of the commander, the last general will definitely be careful and will not let the army lose!" ”

"Okay." Li Xiyu nodded helplessly, turned around and shouted at the group of generals behind him: "Wu Yi, Liu Changhe listens to the order!" The two generals, one red-faced and one black-faced, bowed their horses and said in a loud voice, Li Xiyu glanced at the two of them, and said calmly: "You two accompany His Royal Highness the King of Yue to go for a while, remember not to fight with Xue Yantuo's army without authorization, everything will be discussed when the main force of our army arrives, and report to the commander at any time if there is any situation." ”

Oh, okay, this old guy really doesn't want to fight anymore, grandma, Lao Tzu hasn't left yet, so this will put a tight spell on us first, hehe, see how we settle those two guys. Li Zhen kept muttering in her heart, but there was a faint smile on her face, and she didn't say anything.

"The last general, Liangzhou Yingyanglang, and Wu Yi (Liu Changhe) have seen His Royal Highness the King of Yue." As soon as the red-faced Wu Yi and the black-faced Liu Changhe received the general's order, they immediately rode out and saluted Li Zhen with their fists on the horse.

"The two generals don't have to be polite, the military situation is urgent, how about we leave immediately?" Li Zhen raised his hand and said very politely, but although the words were polite, the inside was undoubtedly resolute, and the two eagle generals did not dare to refuse, they each gave up their promises and rushed back to the army......

"Alas!" Li Xiyu looked at the direction in which Li Zhen and the others left, shook his head with a wry smile, and ordered the herald to inform Li Ji of Li Zhen's borrowing of troops to Li Ji of the rear army, and led the troops into Shenwu City after the bloody battle with great concern......
