Mu Li really entangled 100,000 Turkic troops, the second invasion of the Yinshan area on the western border of the Tang Dynasty, all the people of the Great Zhou in the Anbei of Yinshan fell into panic again, the Turkic army has not yet attacked, all the people in the city of Anbei are under the leadership of all the officials in the Anbei Duhuli, fleeing towards the territory of the Great Zhou after the Yinshan.
All of a sudden, Rongzhou City, which borders the Yinshan grassland, has become a city where tens of thousands of people take refuge, and the old city lord of Rongzhou City has no choice but to open the city gate to welcome all the refugees into the city, and then entanglement of 20,000 Magadan city defense.
And only half a month later, Mu Li is with 100,000 Turkic troops, without waste to occupy the Yinshan Prairie, and the army under the city of Rongzhou, hundreds of thousands of people in Rongzhou City all surrounded, compared to Mu Li's first attack, obviously this time he is more prepared, but also make the people in Rongzhou City, more dangerous.
At the beginning of February, Li Yao reorganized an army of 100,000 in Luoyang City.
In the early morning of the day of departure, Wu Zetian took the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces and sent Li Yao outside the east gate of the imperial capital.
Li Yao stood in front of Wu Zetian, clasped his fists and assured Wu Zetian: "Your Majesty, this expedition, I will definitely take the head of the herding force and come back, and the emperor will prepare a celebration banquet for me!"
"Okay, if you win the battle this time, take the head of the shepherd and return victorious, I will set up a banquet for you in the Heavenly Palace Ming Hall according to your request, which can also be regarded as a banquet for you to apologize to Taiping, killing two birds with one stone. Wu Zetian replied solemnly to Li Yao.
"Your Majesty, Emperor. Li Yao hurriedly thanked Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian turned his head to look at Hua Lin standing in the corner on the right, and said to Li Yao: "You are really very nostalgic, and you actually found a woman who is exactly the same as Dong Mingzhu, you really make me look at you a little differently." ”
"Your Majesty, I have something to ask for. Li Yao suddenly said to Wu Zetian.
"What's the matter?" Wu Zetian asked.
Li Yao glanced at Hua Lin a few times, and then said: "If I go on this expedition, I won't be able to come back, but please ask the emperor to help me take care of Hua Lin more." ”
"It's a trivial matter, I should go, it's almost over, you hurry up!" Wu Zetian didn't think about it, he responded to Li Yao in one bite, and then opened his mouth to urge Li Yao.
Li Yao nodded heavily, and took the deputy generals Qin Yu and Wu Sansi, Wu Youji, the two nominal advisers, and led 100,000 troops to leave Luoyang City.
Hua Niang and Hua Lin sisters were not in a hurry to leave, after the two waited for Wu Zetian and others to leave, they quietly rode on a handsome horse and chased Li Yao's army and quietly left Luoyang City.
And the two sisters just chased Li Yao and the others, Lai Junchen and a cronie beside him appeared outside the east gate, looking at the back of the two girls leaving, the cronies said in Lai Junchen's ear: "My lord, these two women actually chased the army on the expedition, I don't know whether to report this matter to the emperor." ”
"There is no need to report it, the war is inevitably overtasted, the general and the deputy general, with these two women by their side, often give the two of them a reminder, it is not a bad thing, you and I should not see it, no one should say anything about it, and when the emperor asks, we will talk about it." Lai Junchen waved his hand and commanded his cronies.
The cronies nodded noncommittally, and Junchen's words were kept in mind in the future.
Lai Junchen was bitter in his heart at this time, if it was the past, he would definitely go and tell Wu Zetian about this matter immediately, and then add oil and vinegar to make the matter more serious, maybe he could still ask for some reward from Wu Zetian, but since Li Yao grabbed his handle, where did Lai Junchen dare to stab Li Yao's Lou Zi?
Lai Junchen still remembers that he broke his hand before, and when he went to Yifu to find Li Yao the next day, Li Yao said to him, which made Lai Junchen dare not be wild in front of Li Yao at all.
Based on this, Lai Junchen had to smile bitterly, and quietly turned around and went back to Luoyang City with his cronies, not daring to tell Wu Zetian about the two Hua Niang sisters chasing the army.
It's noon.
Li Yao and Qin Yu led the army to a shallow slope two miles away from Luoyang City.
Waving his hand to lead the army to march temporarily, Li Yao drove his handsome horse to Wu Sansi and Wu Youji, and said to the two: "You all know the plan, right?" Now act according to the plan, let's immediately divide the troops into two roads, and march towards Rongzhou City in the west, Qin Yu and His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the two of you will lead 50,000 horses to march into Rongzhou City head-on, and help the old city lord of Rongzhou to defend the city, His Royal Highness King Liang and I will take 50,000 horses to outflank the rear of the Turkic army, and then we can form a two-sided flank attack, defeat the Turkic army in one fell swoop, and take the head of the shepherd. ”
"Got it, then everyone should be careful!His Royal Highness the King of Chu, let's go!" Qin Yu nodded solemnly and said to Wu Youji.
Wu Youji didn't say a word, Le Ma was going to take 50,000 horses with Qin Yu to part ways with Li Yao and Yang Biao.
But at this moment, a staff general suddenly galloped over on a war horse and reported to Li Yaobing: "General, the two ladies are chasing our army, and now they are shouting in the rear that they want to follow the generals to the front line to fight!"
"What are they doing here? These two losers, don't you want them to stay in Luoyang City? Lao Tzu is going to fight, damn it, do you really think they are going to play?" Li Yao suddenly scolded angrily.
He had long ordered Hua Lin to stay in Luoyang City with Hua Niang, you know, this is a battle on the front line, it is a sword and blood, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will die, what kind of fun thing is it, and there are women in the army to follow, which will only get in the way.
Of course, a woman with a strong body like Rouge is another matter.
But the question is, Hua Niang and Hua Lin sisters don't know martial arts at all, and the two of them followed, can't they become a big burden?
As soon as Li Yao's voice fell, another general rushed forward with Hua Niang and Hua Lin sisters, and the two sisters came to Li Yao and the others, their faces were full of smiles, and they were very happy.
Qin Yu couldn't help it, he rushed forward on his war horse, glared at the two of them and scolded: "Nonsense, get back to Luoyang City for me, this is to fight, should you be playing?
"We don't care, we have to follow you, how do we know when you will come back victoriously, so we don't have to wait stupidly in Luoyang City. "The flower girl has a temper and is stubborn.
"You ......" Qin Yu was speechless.
Seeing this, Li Yao had no choice but to say to Wu Youji and Wu Sansi: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, His Royal Highness the King of Liang, please trouble the two of you to take 50,000 horses and soldiers to go first in two ways according to the original plan, and the two of us will take care of this matter and chase you immediately to come, it's troublesome." ”
"Then the general should hurry up and finish the family affairs! Wu Yu responded helplessly.
Wu Sansi also frowned, and was very unhappy to see the two Hua Niang sisters, but he didn't say anything, but according to Li Yao's instructions, he and Wu Youji each led 50,000 troops, and according to the original route, they each headed forward.
Half an hour later, only Li Yao and the four of them were still standing in place.
Li Yao and Qin Yu drove the war horse to the war horse of the two Hua Niang sisters, and after glancing at each other helplessly, Li Yao said to the two: "One of us is a general, the other is a deputy general, the two of us must be responsible, there can be no women in the army, you don't know about this, besides, you don't know martial arts, it will only be bad if you go, you are obedient, go back to Luoyang City and wait, we will soon win the battle and come back." ”
"But what if you can't come back?" Hua Lin, who had not spoken, suddenly asked Li Yao.
"This ......," Li Yao and Qin Yu said dumbly at the same time.
The point is that this problem is not within the scope of the two of them at all, both of them are determined to win, so the two think that they will definitely be able to win the battle and come back, as for the defeat to Mu Li, the two have not thought about it at all.
Hua Lin saw that the two of them were speechless, and she said with a rainy face: "We want to follow you, because we are afraid that you will not come back, if the two of you can't come back this time, then the two of us will also follow you, whether you are dead or alive, our sisters will always be your people, we will be with you in life, and we will be with you in death." ”
"Hey, forget it, Qin Yu, let's make an exception! You take Hua Niang and go! Hurry up and chase Wu Youji, he can't do anything without you." When Li Yao heard this, he sighed with emotion and commanded Qin Yu.
"You can think about it, if you let the emperor know that you set such a precedent, I'm afraid it will be ......" Qin Yu reminded Li Yao.
Li Yao didn't think about it, and shouted directly: "The general is outside, the military order is not subject to it, what is wrong with Lao Tzu just bringing a woman, as long as Lao Tzu wins the battle, can she still kill Lao Tzu?" That's it, Hua Niang, hurry up and follow Vice General Qin to chase the advance army, you must take care of Vice General Qin on the way, and then guard Rongzhou City with him, you must not let Rongzhou City be lost, this is a military order, you know?"
"Yes, General, Hua Niang obeys. Hua Niangle hugged her fists and drank sonorously.
After that, she rode a war horse with Qin Yu with an excited face, chasing the 50,000 advance army led by Wu Youji, the two left, Li Yao didn't say anything, just looked at Hua Lin and smiled, and then he took Hua Lin from another road, chasing the 50,000 advance army led by Wu Sansi.
