Li Xiang just breathed a sigh of relief here, and the urgent report from Chang'an City disrupted the peace here, and it turned out that Xue Yantuo Khan in the north led 80,000 iron horsemen to the south, and has now entered the do

g Turkic territory.

do

g Turkic since the last khan was brought back to Chang'an by General Li Jing, the whole do

The Turks almost became a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, although there were some disobedient places over the years, but most of the time it was still the northern barrier of the Tang Dynasty, resisting the threat from Xue Yantuo.

"Is Xue Yantuo Khan crazy? My Tang Dynasty has been fighting in the south and north outside in the past few years, and I don't know how much land I have conquered, and now I have just solved Goguryeo, and Xue Yantuo Khan has begun to offer do

G. Turk, did he think it was a good time? ”

In Li Xiang's big tent, Su Dingfang said a little strangely, this is by no means a good time to attack the vassal state of the Tang Dynasty at this time, unless it is the brain in the water, otherwise it is too late to hide, how can it be possible to stand on the opposite side of the Tang Dynasty? They didn't think they could take the DO with hundreds of thousands of cavalry

g Turkic, right?

"We're doing

g: Is there anyone in the Turks? ”

Li Xiang did not analyze this, and now it is useless to analyze this, the main thing is to see what we are doing

What is the state of defense of the Turks, when General Li Jing took the Turks, do

The tribes in the Turkic territory were scattered, and their combat effectiveness was not very strong, so Li Xiang was worried that they would not be able to withstand it.

"We're doing

g Fifteen hundred people in the vicinity of the Turkic royal court, in addition to them, in the whole do

g There is no one in the Turkic steppes, do

The Turks currently have 40,000 standing cavalry, but because we ......"

The year before last, Niu Jinda once replaced Li Shimin to inspect DO

g Turkic defense, to do

Some of the situation in the territory of the G Turks is also understood, the military force over there is already extremely weak, and the Tang Dynasty only hopes to have a barrier in the north, and never wants to do

g the Turks stood up again, so for do

g Turkic tribes, if you can provoke, stir up, try to let you fight.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this strategy adopted by the Tang Dynasty, no one wants the nomads in the north to be strong, but I didn't expect to do

g Turkic decline, Xue Yantuo turned out to be stronger, in Li Xiang's memory, Xue Yantuo was also destroyed by Li Shimin, but because of his arrival, Xue Yantuo is not only not destroyed now, but his strength is stronger than before, it seems that the butterfly effect has really affected here.

"We immediately led the army north to destroy them, and it happened that we were uncomfortable fighting in Goguryeo, and now we go to the Xiongnu steppe, I really don't believe it, they can be our opponents?"

Su Dingfang waved the steel knife in his hand and said, The people who fought with Li Xiang had such intentions, that is, they thought they were invincible in the world when they were fighting, and they couldn't wait to kill all the enemies in the world, don't care if you are Xue Yantuo or Tubo, as long as you are the enemy of my Tang Dynasty, then cut it with one sword, and cut it down first.

"It would be nice if things were that simple, you come to see this court mail, just to let us know that there is this matter, let us strengthen the communication line along the way, and did not let us lead the army north, we are now using the most elite army of the imperial court, but the court did not let us go back, what do you say this means?"

Li Xiang's words made the people in the tent calm down, it's right to think about it, Li Xiang has indeed been in the limelight in the past two years, but the problem is that in addition to Li Xiang in the Tang Dynasty, there are many other people who can fight, whether it is an old general or a young general, just find a few can go out, although Li Xiang has brought out the elite of the capital, but there are still 90,000 of the most elite border troops in the north of the Tang Dynasty, and they can also enter the DO at any time

g Turkic, there is no need for Li Xiang to take people back from Goguryeo.

The most important thing is that the battlefield situation is unclear, although Xue Yantuo Khan led his troops south, he did not say that he would attack the Tang Dynasty, only that the caravan was do

The G Turks withheld it, so they wanted to find justice, and it didn't mean that they wanted to perish

g Turkic, of course, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is just an excuse, you are going south with tens of thousands of cavalry, is it really to find justice for a caravan? There is no such way to deceive children.

"And we're just watching?"

Su Dingfang said with some reluctance, although he has a lot of credit now, and it is absolutely no problem to be crowned a marquis, but in the Tang Dynasty, who is not willing to make his title a little higher.

"Didn't I ask you to organize a rapid reaction force before? You gather them all together and let them start practicing in the next few days, the court may not want us to pass, but we must be prepared in case we need to go over and clean up the mess. ”

After hesitating again and again, Li Xiang still can't stand by and watch, no matter who the court sends over, it is possible to rely on war to solve it in the end, and now the war has not yet burned, but we have to make all preparations, not to mention that the big and small things on the Goguryeo side have been solved, there is no need to leave so many troops.

Of course, Li Xiang didn't go to the show, he knew to avoid suspicion, a court wants harmony, you can't eat all the credit, now Li Xiang's credit has been sealed, if you continue to lead the troops north, then how should other people in the court come out? You have to give someone a chance.

After waiting for half a month, the second court of the imperial court sent it, and what surprised Li Xiang was that the emperor was still ready to cold Li Xiang this time, and Li Ke, the king of Wu, led his troops north.

Of course, in the court of the imperial court, it was not said that he would go to the north to fight, and the troops brought by King Wu were not much, only 8,000 people, Li Xiang could also see that if the north wanted to fight, there was no need to transfer troops from Chang'an, there was 80,000 of the most elite border troops of the Tang Dynasty in the north, and only 50,000 border troops needed to be mobilized to the north, plus the army in the hands of King Wu, he could suppress Xue Yantuo to the death.

Of course, this is a good state, and it is not ruled out that there will be some accidents, once there is really an accident, then King Wu will lose all the opportunities this time, Li Xiang continued to arrange Goguryeo after receiving the court mail, and did not send any signal to Li Shimin's side.

Last time, because Li Xiang was in the capital, the matter of King Wu leading the troops was ruled out, this time Li Shimin's order was relatively fast, and Li Xiang was not given any time to react, including Cui Sanye's allies, there was no chance to move, it seems that Li Shimin still has to arrange an opponent for Li Xiang......
