Chapter 223: The War That Ended Early
ordered the detention of the Western Turkic Zuoxian King, and at the same time ordered someone to report to the front-line Xuanjia Army, and then Ma Sanbao and others walked outside the city with Xiao Doudou, saying that the women's army wanted to meet the little princess, but in fact they wanted the little princess to review their army.
When the little guy rode out on a baby elephant, the five thousand women's army in the audience were all boiling, shouting over and over again the little princess, the little princess, and finally it only became two words that kept repeating - princess!
Looking at this scene, Ma Sanbao, Li Ning'er and others wet their eyes at the same time, as if they had returned to a few years ago, and saw the shadow of the heroic heroine, the founding leader of the late Women's Army, Princess Pingyang.
"Report, it's not good, the enemy gathered troops to go to Dunhuang City to rob our army's grain and grass, General Ma sent me to ask for help, please His Royal Highness King Zhao to return to help quickly, it will be dangerous if it is late......"
An urgent report interrupted the laughter of the Xuanjia army's celebration, everyone got up suddenly, Li Yuanba and Yuwen Chengdu glanced at each other, and without saying a word, picked up their weapons and flew on their horses and ran towards Dunhuang City.
Along the way, Li Yuanba couldn't stop complaining and cursing Yuwen Chengdu: "What do I say, let you not follow me blindly, you just need to protect Doudou, now it has been copied by thieves, if something happens to Doudou, Lao Tzu will be the first to not let you go, how are you a bullshit guard?" ”
Yuwen Chengdu also scolded: "You shut up Lao Tzu!" Do I want to have an accident? Isn't this meant to help you? ”
"Fuck off, who needs your help?"
"The soul is faint, speak according to conscience, there is no Lao Tzu, one person can't disperse the enemy's 50,000 army, the Xuanjia army has long been dragged to death!"
……
The two ran all the way and scolded all the way, although they were ruthless, but none of them were really scolding, they were all emboldening themselves, hoping that nothing would happen to Xiaodoudou. If the herald said that something had happened to Doudou, it was estimated that the two would be paralyzed directly to the ground, how could they have the strength to ride on horseback to support?
"Report! Our army won a great victory, and the little princess led 5,000 women to destroy the 10,000 grain cavalry in the picture below! General Ma ordered the two generals to return to the city in the future. ”
What??? It's only been a while, just now I came to ask for help, and if it's too late, it's dangerous, and in the blink of an eye, you will win? This special Ma Sanbao has surrendered to the enemy.
Hold it! Lying about the military is a capital offense! Li Yuanba stopped the herald who turned his horse's head.
The man straightened his chest and shouted, "The last general will not dare, what he said is true." ”
Yuwen Chengdu asked calmly: "You came to give the order after the victory?" Then tell me, how the Women's Army is 5,000 against 10,000? Although I know that the little princess is very capable of fighting, she is still young after all, and it is impossible for her to withstand 10,000 cavalry. ”
"Returning to the general, Her Royal Highness the little princess is brave and invincible, leading the elephant herd to battle with her bare hands, the elephant herd is huge and powerful, like a copper wall blocking the enemy's cavalry charge, not only that, the little princess also ordered the elephant herd to do a counter-charge, sweeping the enemy cavalry, not only us, but even the 10,000 troops on the opposite side were dumbfounded......"
The man slowly passed by, Li Yuanba, Yuwen Chengdu, including Zhang Shigui and others who caught up with him, all listened stupidly, isn't this, this herd of elephants transporting grain as docile as cattle? How, how can it still be used as a cavalry?
At this moment, Yuwen Chengdu suddenly burst out laughing, patted his thigh and shouted: "I knew, what I should have thought of a long time ago was all calculated by Li Yuanying, no wonder he deliberately sent a herd of elephants to transport grain, if he simply let Xiao Doudou mix in the grain transport team to play, Lu Chengqing's transport team is enough, why bring elephants?" It turns out that there is such a layer, Xiaodoudou has this group of strange beasts to protect her, as long as she is not messing around on this grassland, who can touch her? ”
After hearing this, everyone felt reasonable, and nodded their heads in admiration, His Royal Highness King Qin took precautions, and he was really superior!
"Let's go, the front is only twenty miles away from Dunhuang City, let's take a look, elephants can be used as cavalry commands, so this time we won't set foot on the Western Turks?"
When they arrived, they were just in time to inspect the troops, and saw Xiao Doudou riding on the trunk of an elephant like a mighty general, and greeting his soldiers one by one, Li Yuanba laughed and said: "Okay, it is worthy of being the child of my Li family, and today my royal Li family has added another female general!" ”
Yuwen Chengdu also nodded happily and said, "It is worthy of being my proud disciple." ”
Your disciple? Do you want to nod your face? She's using my drum urn and golden hammer! Li Yuanba retorted on the spot.
"Really? Could it be that you two use a pair of hammers? You also heard just now that when she defeated the Western Turkic Zuoxian King, she used Ma Sanbao's iron spear, and I must have taught her the phoenix wings and gold hammering method......"
was celebrating over there, and the two of them actually pinched on the spot because they were fighting for the status of master and apprentice, until Zhang Shigui sent someone to invite Xiaodou to persuade him to fight.
At the celebration banquet in Dunhuang City, Li Yuanba and others were planning, saying how to use the advantage of the elephant herd to directly fight the Western Turkic royal court, and Lu Chengqing, the grain transportation team, said: "Xia Guan thinks that this battle should be over by now. ”
Well? The first battle was just a victory, how did it end? We're here to save people, but we haven't saved them yet.
Lu Chengqing explained with a smile: "It is precisely because we are here to save people, not to conquer the Western Turks, so there is no need for laborers to go on an expedition to the royal court. Because we captured the prince of the Western Turks, as well as their king Zuoxian, it is said that this prince is also the beloved son of the Western Turk Khan king Mohedu, so with these two hostages in hand, saving people only needs to exchange prisoners, which can minimize the cost, avoid sacrifices, and reduce casualties. ”
But......
Zhang Shigui wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Li Yuanba waving his hand, "What Lu Shilang said is reasonable, this king agrees with this proposal!" It is best to be able to exchange prisoners and save people, so as to avoid the suffering of laborers and expeditions. We aim to save people, but if we take the lives of more innocent sons of Datang in order to save people, it is really not cost-effective.
This expedition, I didn't expect such a battle to change, so I didn't bring a special envoy for negotiation, this king is surrounded by some vulgar generals, Lu Shilang is smart and clever, can you take a trip for the king's Western Turkic royal court? ”
Lu Chengqing saluted respectfully and said: "It is incumbent upon the subordinate to receive the order, and it is incumbent upon him to contribute to the Tang Dynasty!" ”
"By the way, what kind of prince is that? Or did Chang'an like small animals at the beginning? Li Yuanba asked curiously.
Everyone laughed, but it was still him! I'm being led by the elephants to play on the ropeless swing for two hours.
What's that? Hurry up, save the block, and if you continue to play, it is estimated that you will be killed if you can't wait for the prisoner to be replaced, you must not let this thing die, Li Yuanba hurriedly sent someone to save the prince of Ye Hu, this thing is lucky to pick up a life.
The celebration continued. Zhai Changsun grabbed Zhang Shigui and asked, "Old Zhang, what did you want to say just now?" Could it be that you are really looking forward to the Xuanjia Army's lone expedition to go deep into the labor division? ”
