At the beginning of the autumn of the 46th year of the Celestial Empire, the minister of the Tubo military aircraft and the envoy of the Northern Xinjiang Jiedu Ling Youshuai 400,000 iron cavalry marched eastward, and the governor of Liangzhou was sealed for thousands of miles to commit treason and surrender to the enemy. The Tubo army marched thirty miles eastward and confronted the 110,000 elite army led by the Celestial Empire's Northern Courtyard Protector and the Northern Protector at the mouth of the Chongdu Valley.

The two armies fought for more than a month, and the Northern Underworld was supreme in the north to cross the natural danger with less to more, and the Tubo iron cavalry could not advance an inch.

Ten days later, Lingyou sent people to dig through the upper reaches of the valley at the northern foot of the Qilian Mountain, leading the valley water to the south, flooding the defenders of the Celestial Dynasty at the mouth of the valley, under the flood, the Celestial Empire army lost more than 20,000 people, the formation was chaotic, and the Tubo army took advantage of the situation to attack.

After the 10,000 Yulin army of the old commander Beiming Supreme Commander who was isolated above the valley mouth by the flood was broken, Hua Canghai, the governor of Yizhou across the water, led 80,000 remnants to retreat to Zhongnan Mountain.

Heavy crossing of the valley mouth of the battle, the old marshal of the North and 10,000 Yulin army to guard the narrow valley mouth not to let an inch of land, the valley mouth in front of the pile of corpses like a mountain, a stick of incense, was forced by Tubo as the vanguard of the 30,000 Liangzhou army in front of the formation of the front, Liangzhou army Xuanwei general Li He took advantage of the chaos to shoot Liangzhou Metropolitan Governor Feng Qianli, and then with the Yulin army 40,000 troops swore not to retreat. The two armies fought fiercely for three days and three nights, and the old commander of the Northern Underworld and the 40,000 Heavenly Dynasty troops were all killed on the battlefield, and blood stained the banks of the Red Valley River.

In this battle, the Tubo Iron Cavalry lost more than 80,000 soldiers, and won a miserable victory!

"Your Highness, there is no need to fight this tent! 400,000 against 40,000, our side also folded 80,000 people, the main force of the Yulin Army and the Yizhou Iron Cavalry is still there, and His Majesty has fallen into the hands of Li Tiantu again. Moreover, it is not only the 80,000 horses of Huacang Sea waiting for us, but also 300,000 soldiers of the Celestial Empire are gathering, we have lost our sharpness, let's retreat! ”

Lingyou straddled the war horse and watched, piled up in the mountain of ten thousand corpses at the mouth of the Chongdu Valley, and he suddenly lost the courage to step on his horse and cross the past.

King Ming was silent for a long time, and then said: "The supreme of the North Underworld is not the supreme of the North Underworld, and the 80,000 sons and daughters lost by my Tubo are still second, the important thing is that this battle has caused an indelible psychological impact on my soldiers and soldiers, and the morale is low!" ”

"It seems that you can't beat the Jingshi, so let's withdraw!" The majestic eyes of King Agali suddenly appeared in some indescribable colors.

"Your Highness, don't you want to save Your Majesty?" Lingyou wondered.

King Ming laughed at himself: "We have all withdrawn, Li Tiantu is an understanding person, so he will naturally be put back to Ashina." ”

The news of the withdrawal of the Tibetan troops and the capture of the Tibetan king Ashina by Li Tiantu was transmitted back to the Celestial Empire one after another.

The supreme of the North Darkness who died in the battle naturally became the hero of the salvation of the country that the people of the Celestial Dynasty vied for, and Tianxuan personally gave the title of the Duke of the country, and posthumously recognized the general of the Hussar of Zhengyipin, and was famous in the Taimiao.

Li Tiantu's capture and longitudinal reputation in the court are mixed, and the merits are generally greater than the faults, after all, in addition to the supreme enemy of the Northern Underworld, the capture of the king is also one of the very important reasons.

Tianxuandu took the opportunity to restore Li Tiantu's official position, and transferred Li Tiantu back to Beijing to take over the post of General Yulin.

Ashina, who had experienced great hardships, did not know whether it was to make up for the Celestial Empire, or to thank Li Tiantu for his generosity, he immediately issued an edict, gave up the four towns in the Western Regions, and tightly gathered the Tubo iron cavalry, whose number had been sharply reduced to 300,000, to prepare for war.

Tianxuandu weighed it again and again, dispersed the 200,000 government soldiers who had just been assembled, and used Xue Li, who was recommended by Li Tiantu, as the protector of the capital of Anxi, and the four towns of the Western Regions returned to the territory of the Celestial Empire.

It has been two months since the First Battle of the Heavy Ferry.

To the west of the Imperial Palace, the original signboard of the Commander's Mansion has been replaced with the General's Mansion.

"Ling'er, according to what you say, my position as General Yulin still has your credit?"

Li Tiantu never imagined that Tubo's Eastern Crusade would still involve the Heavenly Demon Sect.

"Of course, if it weren't for me and Brother Linghu to keep a close eye on the Heavenly Demon Sect, and King Agali Ming had the assistants of the Heavenly Demon and others, the two real people in Louguan would never be opponents!"

Su Ling'er didn't take credit, but she couldn't help but explain the cause and effect of the matter.

"It's a bit complicated!"

Li Tiantu's middle knuckle in his right hand kept tapping on the tabletop, "If the Heavenly Demon Sect doesn't have a strong backing in the court, what qualifications does it have to negotiate with Tubo?"

Su Ling'er pursed her lips and smiled, quietly listening to her son-in-law's deliberation.

After experiencing the dismissal of officials and the battle in the Western Regions, Li Tiantu thought about it a lot, and he didn't bother to think about it, he pointed to his shoulder and said: "Forget it, as long as we guard the three acres of land in our temple, we will not change in response to all changes, and the Heavenly Demon Sect will eventually jump out, and then take the opportunity to clean it up." ”

The current General's Mansion has become the stronghold of the Kunlun Temple in Beijing, and the mansion can be described as a master.

Su Ling'er walked behind her son, put her fingers on her shoulders, and before she moved, she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Childe, Beiming left with Sister Xiaofluttershy, and I heard that he received the emperor's order to return to the Beiting Metropolitan Protector Mansion to take over the position of Dadu Protector." ”

"Some things will pass." Li Tiantu slowly closed his eyes, and the good fighter died on the battlefield, which can be regarded as a well-deserved death.

After the battle of Chongdu Gukou, the 80,000 Yulin army of the Celestial Empire was sharply reduced to 50,000, and the next matter of replenishing troops naturally fell to the new Yulin general Li Tiantu.

The replenishment of 30,000 soldiers, from General Yulin Lang to Captain and Soldier, must be re-selected, which means that the Yulin Army, which has rarely undergone major changes since the founding of the Celestial Empire, is facing a new round of reshuffle.

Li Tiantu, who has the power to reorganize the troops, was originally constrained by the military department, but because the current military department secretary Li Bu had a life-and-death friendship with him, this time the door was opened to the entire Yulin Army to organize troops. Li Tiantu was in the household department, and Zhu Wenwu re-incorporated more than 800 people including Yu Baiyu into the household registration of the Celestial Dynasty, and took the opportunity to unknowingly incorporate his Xuantie Black Cavalry into the Yulin Army.

Fengmen, the western suburb of the Beijing Division, was rebuilt from a small post station in the previous dynasty, and tens of thousands of Yulin troops were stationed to guard the Beijing Division.

Li Tiantu was in the big tent, and there were three armored generals under it.

Li Ting'an, the deputy general of the Yulin Army, Changshi Lu, and Wen Mingju, the Zhonglang general.

"I'll bother you with the recruitment!"

Li Tiantu looked at the group of subordinates below with a little headache, who were amiable on the surface but were actually unruly.

The internal struggle in the Yulin Army was far more complicated than he imagined.

The three of them nodded and came out one after another.

There was no one else in the tent, Li Tiantu rubbed his forehead and fell into deep thought.

This Yulin general is not easy to be, and the previous two terms were all hand-eyed people and did not end well.

Li Ting'an, the deputy general of the Yulin Army, is a fair person, and he seems to have no background behind him, and he seems to be the best person to fight for. But this is such a decent person, but he can sit firmly in the deputy general of the Yulin Army in the Beijing division with extremely fierce factional struggles for twelve years, there are doubts!

Changshi Lu, who was recommended by the prince to join the Yulin Army, is obviously a member of the prince's line, this person can't be close, but it can't be too far.

Zhonglang will be Wen Mingju, this person is intriguing. On the surface, Li Luanying has distant relatives in Zhongshu, who is quite close to Queen Nu, but on weekdays, the two have no personal relationship at all, and they are like enemies when they meet.

After searching for it again and again, Li Tiantu decided to take Wen Mingju first and help Yu Baiyu to the powerful Yulin Army lieutenant general. In the end, even if Wen Mingju was really Queen Nu's person, he didn't seem to blame him.
