On the first day of March in the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Zhen, the king of Yue, led his troops out of the Tianshan Mountains, and made a long-distance surprise attack on the old camp of the five major Western Turkic tribes, and forced the surrender of Ashina Sero, on the fifth day of the first month of March, in the battle of the Baiye River, the whole annihilation of more than 100,000 people of the Western Turkic Khan Yibi Lu, and the son of Yi Bi Lu fled back to the old nest, on March 11 of the 18th year of Zhenguan, under the support of the general Ayoqigu, he gathered more than 30,000 troops, established himself as the Great Khan of the Western Turks, and sent an envoy to the Xue Yantuo Khanate to express his submission to the Western Turks, and invited Xue Yantuo to enter the Western Turks to help the war.

On March 17, the 18th year of Zhenguan, the prince of Xue Yantuo led an army of more than 160,000 people to cross the Altai Mountains through Hongshanzui and arrive at the line of the Ulungu River, and camped more than ten miles on the north bank of the Ulungu River, thinking that it was a place to garrison troops.

On March 21, the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, Prince Xue Yantuo set up a large army to divide into two routes, one way to the general Wu Yanda led 15,000 cavalry out of the Lao Ye Temple to Yizhou in Anxi, stationed on the shore of Santang Lake, its meaning is difficult to understand; On the other hand, Dadu led more than 50,000 cavalry troops (including 20,000 black wolf troops) to cross the Altai Mountains through the Ulastai Pass, and arrived at the south bank of the upper reaches of the Ulungu River.

On March 18, the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, the news of Anxi's great victory reached Beijing, and the government and the opposition were shaken, and they were greatly happy, and held a banquet to entertain the ministers to celebrate, and issued an edict to amnesty the world, and named Li Zhen as the governor of Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and the general consul of all matters outside the Guan, plus the actual sealing of 200 households, and a number of bounties and silver.

On March 28, the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin swore in Chang'an, with the general Li Ji as the commander of the former army, personally led 100,000 troops to leave Beijing, the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Daozong and many other courtiers accompanied him, gathered 320,000 troops to gather in Youzhou in three ways, leaving the prince Li Zhi as the supervisor of the country, with Xiao Yu of Zhongshu Ling, Liu Xun of the new servant, and Chu Suiliang of the Huangmen Servant as the auxiliary government, and Xue Wanche, the general of the Right Military Guard, as the general of Jingzhao, responsible for the defense of Gyeonggi.

On April 3, the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, seven o'clock in the unitary hour, the sunset was setting, the afterglow of the setting sun reflected a few traces of clouds on the horizon as red as blood, and the originally clear Tila River was also rendered into a dark red piece, the waves rippled lightly, the blood-colored phosphorescence flashed, and with the dense reeds on the bank of the river were blown by the wind when the whimpering sound, there was quite a taste of bloody dusk, if it was a person with an unstable heart, at first glance, there would be a creepy feeling, then, For Li Zhen, who rolled out of the sea of blood from the mountain of corpses, all this is just pediatrics, nothing at all, no, Li Zhen at this time is half lying and half sitting on the grass by the river, with a tender grass at the corner of her mouth, looking at the gurgling Tila River casually with an indifferent face, taking a small pebble from time to time, throwing it into the river, splashing a little splash, a relaxed and comfortable look.

Relaxed? It's just kung fu on the surface, don't look at Li Zhen's flat face at this time, but in fact, there is a mess in the heart, Anxi's government affairs, the military of Northern Xinjiang, and the greasy in Beijing are all mixed together, which is enough for Li Zhen to drink a pot, but there is no one to discuss when such a chaotic situation is about to arise, it's not that there is no one who can be trusted, it's just that people who are qualified to discuss with Li Zhen are not around at this time, one is far away in Beijing, and the other is sent by Li Zhen to carry out a secret mission, The rest of them, whether they are cronies of the generals or civilian officials, do not have the ability to be clear-sighted, even if they come to discuss, they can't come up with a big discussion, and if they don't make trouble, they will cause chaos in the army's mind, so Li Zhen has no choice but to pick it up on his own shoulder.

Anxi's government affairs are just that, although the six states in southern Xinjiang can't be said to be complete, they are on the right track, and they are improving various related plans in an orderly manner, as for the government affairs at this end of northern Xinjiang, since Li Zhen transferred Qin Wenhua to assist, it can be regarded as temporarily able to cope with it - the matter of building Luntaicheng has nearly 70,000 Western Turkic prisoners of war who have been captured this time are busy, and the division of prefectures and counties, as well as various livelihood matters, are also planned by veterans mobilized from Daxi Prefecture, Anzhou and Dadu Protectorate, etc., The dispatch and collection of logistics grain and straw also has Sha Kui, the logistics chief in Zhangluo, which can also save Li Zhen a lot of heart, just make a board, although it is a little cumbersome, but there are a group of people to manage, but it is not a big problem, but the war in northern Xinjiang and the upcoming major event in the Beijing division make Li Zhen a little headache.

Since the annihilation of the troops and horses of the Yibi Lu Division, the battle situation in the northern frontier has been greatly simplified, although Ashina Serro may not be completely and sincerely surrendered, but firstly, the troops in his hands have been weakened to the bottom, and secondly, its logistics burden is that the whole clan is under the full control of the Anxi Tang Army, and it has long been unable to make a big wave, and the so-called 30,000 elite soldiers temporarily summoned by Si Sadu are a group of vulnerable rabble, and they are not even qualified to be sent to the battlefield, in other words, Today's Western Turkic Khanate has been out of the game in the upcoming war, at most it is just a spectator waving the flag and shouting, and the only ones who really sing are the Anxi Tang Army and the Dadu brothers. However, the simplified battle situation does not mean that things are simpler, and it does not mean that the great success is still completed, on the contrary, the real test has just begun - not counting the 30,000 garbage soldiers set by Si Sadu, the total strength of the Xue Yantuo Khanate entering the northern frontier alone has reached 210,000, most of which are soldiers of a hundred battles, not comparable to the tired soldiers such as Yibi Lu, although the two brothers have their own ghosts, but who knows if these two brothers are acting, in comparison, Li Zhen's current forces are really pitiful - the battle of Baiye River, although Li Zhen annihilated more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Yibi Lu Division, but his own casualties were not small, 6,000 dead, nearly 10,000 wounded, although 15,000 reserve soldiers have been mobilized from the rear in the past month, it can be calculated, there are only more than 11,000 troops of Wu Wanzhong, even if you add the remnants of the 40,000 troops of Ashina Sero, the total is less than 100,000 people, if you fight head-on, it is difficult to say whether you can win or not. What made Li Zhen even more troublesome was that the three thousand black wolf army under Fu Kui had disappeared like air, and Li Zhen used the "Rising Sun" to arrange how to investigate in detail the manpower in northern Xinjiang, but still found nothing, this has been a month, and he has not found out which corner knots Fu Kui's troops are hiding in, Li Zhen is stunned and can't understand how this small army is supplementing logistics, and what kind of tricks he is planning to do, but he vaguely feels that there must be a conspiracy in one of them, Li Zhen doesn't want to easily step into the trap set by others, In addition, in order to wait for the news from Mo Li's side and shorten the route of logistics supply, Li Zhen never marched into the Ulungu River, but stationed down by the Tila River to calm down, as for Bazhuo's invitation to the so-called mediation meeting, Li Zhen didn't even bother to pay attention to it, let alone go, even if he didn't give Bazhuo a message.

Although the battle situation in the northern Xinjiang is a little troublesome, it can be regarded as a little graspable, at least it will not end up in a situation of defeat and loss, but Li Zhen in the Beijing division is a little out of reach - the holy decree of the reward is on the way at this time, but Li Zhen has known the content of it for a long time, for the so-called Dadu Governor and even things like the real seal, Li Zhen doesn't care about it at all, those things may be rare glory for others, but for Li Zhen, they are just some floating clouds, not worth mentioning, It is really worth a little bit that is the "overseeing all military and political affairs outside the customs", but the problem may lie precisely in this - according to Nalong's letter a few days ago, the old man just left Beijing on the front foot, and the crown prince Li Zhike, who left behind the prison country, began to move, looking for some officials who deposed the Wei Wang family one after another, which is not counting, and also sent people to collect and concoct the black materials of the officials of the Wu Wang family, although they acted in a secretive manner, but not only the "Rising Sun" was aware of it, but also "Si Ze" and "Ringing Bell" Although there is no sign that Li Zhi's side will move on Li Zhen for the time being, but the old man's edict, Li Zhen immediately became a standing figure among the kings, and it is difficult to ensure that Li Zhi does not come up with some conspiracy, God knows whether his actions against Wu and Wei will be a smoke bomb, and if it is not good, it is to divert Li Zhen's attention, so as to give Li Zhen a surprise attack, After all, at this time, Li Zhi was in charge of the prison country, and with a ruthless Wu Meiniang on the side, anything could happen, which made Li Zhen a little worried, and he was out of reach, so he could only hope that Na Long could hold up the situation in the capital.

Wu Meiniang, damn Wu Meiniang! As soon as Li Zhen thought of this femme fatale-hearted woman, she was upset for no reason, Li Zhen, who crossed from later generations, is very aware of Wu Meiniang's ruthlessness, although she has not yet emerged, however, just by virtue of her ability to fascinate the prince Li Zhi to the point that she does not know the world, you can know that she is by no means comparable to ordinary women - according to the news from Nalong, Li Zhi has mostly not lived in the East Palace these days, but has lived in the Chengde Palace, and has not been married to Wu Meiniang in private, in addition to the private love of men and women, I'm afraid that there is still a desire to deal with the kings, and with Wu Meiniang participating in it, Li Zhen doesn't dare to take it lightly, but it's a pity that she is far away from the plug at this time, even if she has the heart, she can't do it, and the headache is inevitable.

Headache, what a fucking headache! Li Zhen thought about it and didn't have an idea, sat up straight in annoyance, grabbed a stone the size of an egg, and threw it the surface of the river, "bang" with a crisp sound, and exploded a large splash, the movement was a little bigger, so that the eagle who was standing not far behind Li Zhen was stunned, thinking that something very important had happened, and a dodge flew to Li Zhen's side, the waist knife was unsheathed, and he looked around with a wary face, looking like a great enemy, Li Zhen was a burst of amusement, and he didn't explain much, got up, patted Eagle on the shoulder, and said lightly: "It's okay, let's go, go back to the camp." ”

Li Zhen sat by the river for a long time, and did not give any orders, Ying Dajiu stood down, and after a little desertion, he made a big oolong, and his heart was extremely embarrassed, and he put the knife into the sheath with a red face, and his mouth was open, but he didn't say anything. Li Zhen understands what Yingda wants to say, without him, as Li Zhenzhi's personal guard, desertion is dereliction of duty, but Li Zhen will not blame Yingda for this, after all, since the masters of the Eagle Group have been transferred to the army, Yingda has never rested, and the people who fight iron also have times when they are tired, right? Seeing Yingda's guilty look, Li Zhen just smiled, didn't say anything, and walked towards the military camp not far away, but at this moment, he saw Gao Heng hurriedly riding out of the military camp, beating the horse and galloping towards the place where Li Zhen was standing.

Well? What's going on? When Li Zhen saw Gao Heng in such a hurry, he was stunned - although Gao Heng is young and sometimes naughty, he is generally a steady person, and he rarely behaves at a loss, isn't it strange that he is galloping in the barracks at this time?

"Your Highness, urgent." Gao Heng saw Li Zhen from afar, rushed to Li Zhen in a hurry, turned over and dismounted, and handed a small copper pipe in his hand to Li Zhen.

Li Zhen took the copper pipe and looked at it, and immediately saw that the pattern engraved on the small copper pipe was the code of "100,000 urgent", and she was shocked, so she didn't care about asking more, so she hurriedly uncovered the hidden button on the small copper pipe, took out the small note in it, spread it out, took a closer look, and immediately frowned, and her face was full of solemnity......
