Chapter 169: The Mysterious Man

Geng Zhong was anxious and said, "Your Highness, now is not the time to talk about this, we must find a way immediately." The iron cavalry of the Yuanrong clan had already captured all the defensive points on the periphery, and it was only a matter of time before Baizhou City was breached. If we don't want to find a way, we will all die under the iron horses of the Yuanrong clan. Your Highness, ask the Son of Heaven for help! We can't wait for reinforcements, so we abandon the city and flee. As long as you stay in the green mountains, you don't have to worry about no firewood. ”

"What do you say, bastard?" roared King Yu, "if I lose the city, the Son of Heaven will also take my life." What are you afraid of, Li Leng, they can hold Tieshan City, we have so many troops, can't we hold Baizhou City? Go, tell the generals outside, raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while, at this moment, it is time to need them. ”

"Your Highness!" Geng Zhong was unwilling, and King Yu suddenly said sharply: "Don't go, I'll kill you." ”

"Okay!" Geng Zhong left helplessly, and Baizhou City couldn't hold it at all.

Three days later, Baizhou City was broken by the iron cavalry of the Yuanrong tribe, King Yu and Geng Zhong were killed, and the rest of the army was scattered, some of them moved closer to Tieshan City and joined Li Leng's army, some of them went north and made peace with Tang Slash's vanguard army, and some of them hid in the vast mountains.

This battle collapsed the power of King Yu in the northern Xinjiang, and together with himself, most of the people who followed King Yu died under the iron horses of the Yuanrong clan, and a small number of them collapsed and lost their former power.

As soon as Baizhou City was captured, Li Leng united with Tang Shu's vanguard army to besiege and kill the Yuanrong Iron Cavalry in Baizhou City. The leader of the Yuanrong clan had seen Li Leng's strength and did not dare to fight with Li Leng's army. What's more, at this time, Li Leng's army had the support of the Han Empire, and its strength was even stronger.

In the end, the Yuanrong clan released the crown prince Li Chengqian, and returned to the Western Regions with a few remnants, and Li Leng spent three months, except for a few cities, to completely recover all the territory of northern Xinjiang. Then, in conjunction with the army of eastern Xinjiang, they went north and south to conquer many important cities, and in less than half a year, the situation in northern Xinjiang reached its peak.

When the news returned to Chang'an City, Li Daoyuan, the son of heaven, saw that Li Leng's power had been established, and even the general of Dongjiang expressed his support and loyalty to Li Leng, and could no longer help him, so he agreed to Li Leng's request and re-ordered Yan Song to serve as the general of Northern Xinjiang.

Since then, the military power in northern Xinjiang and the military power in eastern Xinjiang have been in the hands of Li Leng.

......

In the northern part of Xinjiang in December, it was already snowing heavily, and in the blink of an eye, the huge military camp was covered with a thick layer of snow.

The north wind was blowing, and the snow was flying freely. The crown prince Li Chengqian stood in the wind and snow, and after a while, he turned into a snowman.

In several camp tents not far away, shouts and laughter were heard from time to time, and everyone was celebrating Yan Song's promotion to the general of Northern Xinjiang.

Except for the necessary patrols, the rest of the people joined in the celebration, and the good wine and meat were continuously provided, and everyone's tense nerves were completely relaxed at this moment.

But Li Chengqian can't blend in with such an atmosphere. He is a loser, half a year ago, he was the commander of northern Xinjiang, the supreme commander of the army of nearly one million in northern Xinjiang. At that time, he was full of spirit and pointed out the country.

It's only been half a year, and things have taken a drastic turn.

At this time, all the generals in Northern Xinjiang tightly circled around Li Leng. Whether it is identity, status, or reputation, he is the descendant of the Tang royal family, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the future son of heaven. Everyone should revolve around him, including the invincible Ten Princes Li Leng.

But no one paid attention to the cry in his heart, since the Yuanrong tribe was released, the generals of Northern Xinjiang were respecting him and treating him politely, but he could see that there was a deep disdain and contempt in the eyes of these people.

A prince who has been captured by the Yuanrong clan, what qualifications does he have to make a battle-hardened general respect?

Li Chengqian's inner turmoil became stronger and stronger, and judging from the news coming from Chang'an City, the situation was extremely unfavorable for him.

As soon as King Yu died and Concubine Shu completely collapsed, Prime Minister Zhou Wenbo immediately announced that he would fully support any action in northern Xinjiang.

Today's northern Xinjiang is already Li Leng's base camp, and eastern Xinjiang has clearly expressed their loyalty to Li Leng. Supporting Northern Xinjiang means supporting Li Leng?

Eastern Xinjiang and Northern Xinjiang are the heavy military positions of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Leng controls the military power of these two regions, which is equivalent to mastering more than half of the military power of the Tang Dynasty. Coupled with Prime Minister Zhou Wenbo's support for him, most of the forces in the DPRK and China will be dependent on Li Leng.

Prime Minister Zhou Wenbo's attitude, not to mention that he was surprised and surprised, even Li Daoyuan, the always shrewd son of heaven, was caught off guard.

Li Leng, Shicheng, don't say it's him, I'm afraid it's Li Daoyuan, the Son of Heaven, and he can't help Li Leng. How can he, the crown prince, keep it?

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Li Chengqian frowned, turned around, and just wanted to get angry, when he suddenly saw that the person who came did not seem to be a person in the army, but a person whose whole body was shrouded in a black robe.

He couldn't see the man's true face clearly, but as soon as the man appeared, the snow around him stopped dancing, as if time had stood still.

Li Chengqian's nerves collapsed, and a strong sense of crisis enveloped his whole body, and instinctively told him that this person was very dangerous, very dangerous.

"Who are you?" asked Li Chengqian tremblingly.

"Are you afraid?" said the man in a hoarse voice, "afraid I'll kill you?"

"If you want to kill me, with your cultivation and strength, I will die in your hands without knowing it. Li Chengqian's heart was a little calm, and he mustered up the courage to say, "So, you don't want to kill me." ”

"Haha, you've got a lot of brains. The man waved his sleeve, and the space around him distorted. Li Chengqian felt that he was in an independent space, and he could not feel the slightest bit of snow and cold wind.

"What are you looking for me?" Li Chengqian calmed down and asked.

The man hoarsely voiced and said, "You are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and your martial arts talent is amazing, but now, the strong rise of a Li Leng has put you in an extremely disadvantageous position. After returning to Chang'an City, I'm afraid that your position as crown prince will not be kept. ”

"That's my business, what does it have to do with you. Li Chengqian said angrily.

As soon as he talked about Li Leng, he lost his cool and lost his previous scheming and vision.

"Haha, that's your business, but it's also related to me. The man laughed and said, "Li Leng is on the throne, then my Yuanrong clan will definitely have no room to survive." Only when you become the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty will my Yuanrong clan have room to breathe. ”

"Yuanrong clan? Are you from the Yuanrong clan? How is it possible? When has the Yuanrong clan ever produced such a powerful character?" Li Chengqian's face was full of shock, and he had fought with the Yuanrong clan for half a year, and he had only seen the strength of the Yuanrong clan's iron horse, but he had never seen such a powerful and powerful person of the Yuanrong clan.
