[In the year when Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion, Jieli led an army of more than 100,000 people all the way south, as if entering a no-man's land, and broke into Jingyang, which was only forty miles away from Chang'an, making Li Shimin lose face.

However, in just two or three years, Li Tang dispatched a large army to destroy the Eastern Turks in one fell swoop, avenging the humiliation of the year. 】

[After the war of destroying the Eastern Turks, Li Tao won a very high reputation in the army, and Li Shimin awarded Li Tao as the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu, acting as the governor of the Metropolitan Prefecture of Bingzhou, and praised:

"Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty couldn't choose the virtuous and peaceful people, he only knew how to build the Great Wall to guard against the Turks, and his understanding of the world was so confused.

All I need to do now is appoint Li Tao to annex the state, so that the Turks will flee in fear of his prestige.

Isn't it far better than building the Great Wall to be so peaceful? 】

Yang Guang's mustache trembled when he saw this: "Okay, you Li Er!" The Great Wall has not been built by me alone, so why are you only buried by me? ”

Indeed, not only Yang Guang, but also Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng, Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty and other emperors who had also built the Great Wall, did not seem to look good at the moment.

[Li Tao was arranged by Li Shimin to guard the Beijing Division at the border pass and the state, and this guard turned out to be sixteen years. 】

[In the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, when Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, planned to transfer Li Tao into the court and replace Li Jing as the secretary of the military department, Xue Yantuo of Mobei suddenly commanded 200,000 troops and went south to attack the Turks!

The Turkic leader Ashina Simo was defeated and retreated to Shuofang, but he had no choice but to report to the Tang Dynasty and ask for support. 】

[When Li Shimin sent Li Jing to sweep the Turks, Xue Yantuo's boss Yinan led his tribe to cooperate with the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin canonized him as "Pearl Viga Khan" and rewarded him with a saber.

Unexpectedly, when the Turks were destroyed, Yi Nan took the opportunity to attack the Quartet and became a tyrant.

In order to curb the barbaric growth of Xue Yantuo, Li Shimin chose the Turkic nobleman Li Simo and ordered him to go back and rebuild the Eastern Turks. Of course, it can also be understood as the establishment of a buffer state.

Unexpectedly, Yi Nan would be so bold and reckless, and he actually wanted to destroy the Eastern Turks who were "ordered to rebuild".

In fact, this is no longer a question of destroying the country, but directly challenging the authority of the Tang Dynasty!

You must know that Li Shimin is recognized as the "Heavenly Khan", so Datang must take care of this matter! 】

[Li Shimin personally arranged, and the troops were divided into five ways to counterattack Xue Yantuo.

The First Route Army is also the main force, commanded by Li Tao, with a strength of about 60,000.

The other four roads are all auxiliary attacks, led by Zhang Jian, Li Daliang, Zhang Shigui, and Li Xiyu respectively.

The total strength of the Five Route Army is no more, no less, and the total is exactly 200,000. 】

[Li Shimin is still a little uneasy about Li Tao as the commander of the army, after all, Li Tao is not Li Jing, and he has also fought some impressive defeats

Therefore, Li Shimin called Li Tao, mentioned his face, and repeatedly told him the strategy he set: "There is no need to pursue a quick victory, but you should cooperate with Li Simo to form a corner."

When the opponent retreats, you can rush up and beat them, and you must be ruthless, and never give the enemy the slightest respite. ”

Li Tao was still very well-behaved in front of Li Shimin, and he responded to Li Shimin's advice, but in fact, he was holding a breath in his heart, because he could see that Li Shimin was obviously worried that he would not be able to take the lead!

But this can't be blamed on Li Shimin, after all, compared to Li Jing, who has almost become a god, his Li Tao's military exploits are really completely unacceptable, is he willing to be a follower for a lifetime?

Of course not!

Now, the opportunity has come, and the era that belongs to me is about to kick off! 】

"Indeed, Li Tao is also aggrieved, after all, under Li Jing's aura, there is no general who is not aggrieved, right?"

"Datang Shuangli, in fact, there is no need to divide the superior."

"I really envy the four great military gods of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing, Li Tao, Su Dingfang, and Guo Ziyi, and counting the previous fierce generals Qin Shubao and Xue Rengui, plus Cheng Yanjin, Niu Jinda and others, it's really luxurious!"

"This is also Tang Taizong's insight into heroes! Look at Yang Guang, there are so many talents who don't need it, and he has finished his country. Alas! ”

[Li Wei, who was holding back the evil fire in his belly, led the army to set off.

But when he felt the Shuozhou front, he was almost not angry!

It turned out that the commander of Xue Yantuo's army was called Dadushe, and he was scolding Li Simo at the head of the city at the moment.

And what about Li Simo, after he learned that Xue Yantuo's army was attacking, he always had only one action - run! Spread your feet and run hard! 】

[Li Simin ran in front, and magnanimously set up a leader to chase behind.

One ran fast, and the other chased quickly.

It's hundreds of miles to chase and escape, but you haven't even caught a single hair from Li Simo, do you say it's annoying? 】

[Before leaving, Li Shimin also said that he wanted Li Tao to cooperate with Li Simo.

But in front of you, what do you want to do? Do you want to run with him?

As the saying goes, the general will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, so after careful calculation, Li Tao decisively started a war with Xue Yantuo! 】

[As soon as Li Tao's army appeared, Dadu was stunned.

This is chasing and chasing, why did the Tang army suddenly come out?

Xue Yantuo's soldiers were a little panicked, after all, the Tang army's move to destroy the Eastern Turks was too terrifying, and the leader of the Tang army was still the famous Li Tao, which made the soldiers of Dadu and Xue Yantuo lose their resistance mentality. 】

[Xue Yantuo's army, led by Dadushi, saw that the Tang army was coming so fiercely, and suddenly the last trace of reason was also dispelled by fear, so he simply learned from Li Simo, spread his feet and began to run wildly.

Dadu set up to run in front, and the cavalry led by Li Tao chased behind, and the situation was the same as Xue Yantuo's pursuit of the Turks before. 】

[However, after the two sides ran for about 500 miles in one go, Dadu set up in the Daqingshan area of present-day Inner Mongolia, and he suddenly stopped running.

Because here, he joined up with a main force of Xue Yantuo, and the total strength suddenly reached 80,000!

Eighty thousand!

On the other hand, the Tang army only has 6,000 troops, and the disparity in strength has reached more than ten times!

Originally, it should have been Li Tao's turn to panic and be arrogant.

However, Li Tao's face did not change, and he glanced at his deputy, Xue Wanche, another famous Tang general, and the two of them immediately understood and chose to fight! 】

[Xue Wanche was originally the number one fierce general under Yanwang Luo Yi.

After Luo Yi worshiped the crown prince Li Jiancheng, he gave him as a gift to Li Jiancheng.

In the Xuanwumen incident, it was this Xue Wanche who, in order to save Li Jiancheng, led his troops to fight outside the Xuanwu Gate.

When Xue Wanche saw that he couldn't break through the defense, he even resorted to the plan of encircling Wei to save Zhao.

He led his soldiers to the Qin Palace, preparing to wash Li Shimin's hometown in blood.

Thanks to Wei Chi Gong's timely appearance with Li Jiancheng's head, this crisis was resolved, otherwise Li Shimin was afraid that he would really have a big blood]

"Oh yes, the fierce general of the Tang Dynasty has to add this Xue Wanche."

"It's just that Xue Wanche's character is not good, and he is also mixed into the whirlpool of rebellion."

"But I have to say that there are really many fierce generals in the Tang Dynasty!"
