In this vast Anbei grassland, it has never been so lively.

Countless tents were erected, and on the withered yellow grassland, these dotted white tents were so eye-catching that they could barely be seen, stretching to the sky. Inside and outside the tent, countless soldiers on horseback ran and patrolled there, and there were many soldiers resting or cooking in the open space of the tent.

This is exactly a part of the Datang Expeditionary Force that has just experienced fierce battles, camped and rested here.

According to the order of Pei Xingjian, the commander of the army, the best part of the army, about 20,000 people, led by He Jiami, the general of the right guard of the inspection school, galloped to the northeast at night, preparing to assist the men and horses marching from other directions, attacking the Turkic puppet khan Ashina Nishu and another chieftain, Ashdwin Fu.

The army led by Pei Xingjian had a total of about 85,000 people, more than 15,000 people who escorted grain and grass after the cut-off, plus the 20,000 people of He Jiami, and about 50,000 people who participated in the attack on Ashde's ministry department.

Quickly rushed from the vicinity of the Purple River to the area of Montenegro, the army marched for hundreds of miles in a row, and then immediately it was a more physically demanding rush, both and the horses were exhausted to the extreme, these horses must get a certain amount of time to rest, before they can continue to carry out the following battles, otherwise the combat efficiency is not high, and the operation to support several other departments is in charge of this battle as a reserve led by the right guard general He Jiami.

The number of men and horses besieging Ashina Nishu and Ashdwin Fu from other ways is already quite a lot, there are already more than 150,000 people, if the coordination between the various tribes is good, then defeating these two Turkic rebels should be no problem, not to mention that Pei Xingjian sent more than 20,000 men and horses of He Jiami to support, the Turks are already at a great disadvantage in terms of strength, not to mention that they have not yet discovered the whereabouts of our army.

The army led by Pei Xingjian himself, in addition to the more than 20,000 men and horses led by He Jiami, has rushed to the northeast, and the men and horses led by Liu Jingtong are pursuing the remnants of Ashde's service.

The clean-up of the battlefield continues, and a sergeant searches for remnants of the enemy near the battlefield, and the specific results are still being counted.

The number of captured Turks is quite large, roughly estimated to be tens of thousands, cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock are countless, the results of the battle are unprecedented, the captured Turks, as well as livestock are also concentrated in custody, will be taken back to Chang'an as trophies, Pei Xingjian has made people report the news of the great victory of this battle back to Chang'an.

Under the leadership of their respective commanders, the troops on guard and patrol cruised inside and outside the camp, those responsible for cleaning up the battlefield still inspected the original Turkic camp, and those who had finished their attack tasks rested in the tents that had just been set up.

The wounded soldiers in the battle were required to undergo debridement of the wound site, the method was to clean the wound with boiling water according to the order provided by Liu Yi, and then bandage the wound with a strip of cloth boiled in the water.

After Liu Yi ordered his subordinates to set up camp on the grassland, he took his subordinate officers Zhang Qianqiao, Huan Yanfan, Jinghui and others to inspect the situation in the camp, and then returned to the camp to rest.

After continuous marching and fighting, the soldiers were really tired, and they needed to take a good rest and replenish their food to recover their strength.

Pei Xingjian, as the commander, after personally running over to encourage Liu Yi, still has to go back to deal with military affairs, hundreds of thousands of troops to be dispatched, the war is still going on, and the task of the commander is also very heavy.

After Pei Xingjian left, Liu Yi also took this opportunity to sleep for a while, this time it was tied with the camp tents of other departments, and the vigilance affairs of the battalion were responsible for other brother troops, Liu Yi did not need to worry about this, as Pei Xingjian, who had commanded the campaign many times, would definitely not make low-level mistakes in these things.

There is no burden, and Liu Yi can sleep with confidence.

I didn't know that I didn't sleep for long, and Liu Yi, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by the guards, saying that Pei Xingjian sent someone to pass it on.

Hearing Pei Xingjian's summons, Liu Yi, who was sleeping in clothes, got up from the marching couch and didn't ask anything, he immediately left the camp, took his personal guards, and rushed to Pei Xingjian's big tent.

The time is close to evening, and the head is about to set in the west, and the spring day time is still very short.

In Pei Xingjian's account, many generals have been summoned, and when he looks at this posture, Liu Yi can also guess that there must be military intelligence reports from other places, or major changes have occurred, or Pei Xingjian is going to arrange follow-up actions.

However, looking at Pei Xingjian's face is relatively relaxed, the possible surname of the major change should not be large.

After Liu Yi arrived, several other generals were also summoned, and Pei Xingjian also announced the matter immediately after the generals arrived.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Ben Shuai has just received a report from Deputy General Manager Li Wenyun and Zhou Daowu, they have arrived at the line east of Qingshan and are continuing to march north, it is estimated that in a few hours, they will resist the camp of Ashina Nishu and Ashdwin Fu, and the war will start soon!" Pei Xingjian looked confident, looked at the generals around him and said, "If it is not for the accident of this commander, in a few days, these parts will soon be annihilated by our army, and the military operation to counter-insurgency will come to an end..."

Pei Xingjian is very proud, this operation can be said to be very successful, starting from Chang'an a few years ago, arriving in the area of Anbei in the icy and snowy season, in the Turks without any defense, launched an attack on it, gathered the superiority of our army's troops, divided the troops, and a few consecutive battles can basically eliminate the rebellious Turks, and the war will enter the final stage.

As long as the specific battle situation of each ministry is reported, Pei Xingjian can report the news of the comprehensive victory to the imperial court.

"The marshal is like a god with soldiers, and the Turks are just a rabble, where is the opponent of my Tang Dynasty Hundred Battles!" Quan Xiancheng immediately stood up and complimented Pei Xingjian.

Hearing Pei Xingjian say this, Liu Yi was also very emotional, if this war ended like this, then the victory would really come too easily, which was a little unimaginable.

The first time he went to war, it was still a battle with such a large scale of troops, Liu Yi thought that he had only participated in these two battles, and if the war was over, it was really a pity that he had not played well on the battlefield, and he could no longer make great military achievements.

However, Liu Yi did not doubt Pei Xingjian's self-confidence at all, my 300,000 army launched a sudden attack on the Turks from three directions, the speed was incredible, because the Turks who were still camping in the wintering ground in the winter season were immediately defeated without defense, which is really not surprising.

Liu Yi also admired Pei Xingjian, and chose to go on an expedition to Anbei in this season that should be said to be the most unsuitable for our army, overcame many difficulties, and finally defeated the Turks when the Turks were defenseless and won the war.

Now this season, most of the Turks are staying in the slower grassland in the south of the desert for wintering, after the weather warms, the wintering tribes or herdsmen will be transferred to find a good pasture, the gathered Turks will be scattered, and even many tribes cross the desert to the north of the desert, although the dispersion of the tribes has reduced the strength of the Turks, but it has also brought trouble to the counterinsurgency of our army, to eliminate all the rebellious Turkic tribes, have to carry out long-distance campaigns, that will take a lot of time to chase down, In particular, if you want to cross the desert and attack the north of the desert, the time and strength will be unpredictable, and it will be difficult to grasp the whereabouts of the Turks there, and if you cannot effectively grasp the whereabouts of the Turks, it will be difficult to effectively attack them, and you may even be attacked by Turkic rebels who are very familiar with the terrain of this area.

The right time and place are good, and they can be used very well in combat, which is the embodiment of a commander's level.

"If Ashina's mud and Ashidwin Fu are wiped out by our army, the big war is basically over, but the action of encircling and suppressing the rout will continue, if the defeated Turks don't clean it up well, it will also bring trouble to the governor's mansion and the governor's mansion under my Anbei's rule, after the rest of the ministry, you can't slack off, and you must be ready to accept the next move at any time!" Pei Xingjian looked at the generals in the tent with happy faces and ordered.

"Yes, Dashuai!" The generals responded in unison.

"Let's plan the action for the next few days!" Pei Xingjian walked to the large map general hanging in the tent and arranged the next tasks of each department, which made Liu Yi regret that there was still nothing for him to do next.

When Pei Xingjian was arranging the task, Liu Yi clearly heard the rapid sound of horses' hooves from far to near outside the tent, as well as faint shouts, but the sound sounded a little far away and could not be heard really.

"Newspaper... Urgent!" The voice could finally be heard, and the sergeant's voice came from far and near, and then the shouting of the guards outside the tent was heard, and then there was the sound of rapid footsteps.

A sergeant who had given the order strode into the tent after the guard's personal guard, gasping and saluting: "Commander! The Turkic chieftain Asid has been captured by General Cheng Wuting and is being escorted over here!"

"Good!" Pei Xingjian, who has always been calm in trouble, was also overjoyed, Cheng Wuting finally played a role at the critical moment, and captured the Turkic chieftain Asid, although Cheng Wuting was unable to participate in the attack on the Turks for some reason, but the enemy chief was captured, which is already a great achievement.

"Where have you been?" Pei Xingjian asked again.

"Back to the big marshal, there are still more than thirty miles away from the big tent where our army is stationed!" The sergeant who gave the order hurriedly replied, "General Cheng is leading a group of men and horses, personally escorting Ashid to his duties, and come over first, and the rest of the men and horses, as well as General Li Zhishi's headquarters, march behind the palace..."

"This Turkic leader who dares to confront my Datang, Ben Shuai wants to greet him and see if he has three heads and six arms!" Pei Xingjian turned around with a smile and said to the generals in the tent, "Everyone, you will also go with Ben Shuai to greet you in a while..."
