Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

It cannot be said that Su Dingfang made the best choice, because he was just speculating and had no certainty.

But it must be said that Su Dingfang made the choice that best suited the war situation, because his charge forced Dubu Khan to flee in embarrassment, relieving the crisis of the Longzhou soldiers being besieged, and also liberating Qin Qiong and Li Mengchang. General, completely turned the tide of the war.

Perhaps it was due to luck, but it could also be explained by Su Dingfang's natural and keen military talent.

During Su Dingfang's pursuit, the main Turkic force on the frontal battlefield could not retreat. Even if the other side was attacked by Yuchi Gong, they did not retreat... Otherwise, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving up on Dubu Khan?

The result was that when Su Dingfang led two hundred cavalry to the north, the Turkic army had no way to avoid the attack of nearly a thousand Tang cavalry led by Qin Qiong and Li Mengchang, and could not even form a formation.

The entire battlefield has fallen into complete chaos. At this moment, the infantry of the Qizhou Prefecture soldiers are still resisting the Turks' arrows and attacks, while the cavalry of the Longzhou Prefecture soldiers have all been mobilized by Li Mengchang to attack the Turks.

Yuchi Gong led the Tang cavalry from the other side and had penetrated into the Turkic army and was in the process of killing him. The horse spear in Qin Qiong's hand pierced the abdomen of a Turkic cavalryman but he was also dismounted. He could only draw out his long knife and kill him wantonly.

When Su Dingfang, who had circled to the north, led two hundred cavalry into the formation accurately and sharply, the Turks finally couldn't resist. Some of the cavalry protected Dubu Khan and fled northwest, while the others fled in all directions.

Su Dingfang led his troops to turn around and attack the more than a thousand Turkic cavalry who had been attacking Qizhou Prefecture soldiers before. Qin Qiong and Li Mengchang each led their troops to pursue the remaining soldiers, but Yuchi Gong led hundreds of cavalry in hot pursuit. If Dubu could be killed, Khan, that can declare the end of the civil war in Guan.

Once Dubu Khan dies, the Turks will definitely introduce a new Khan. Otherwise, it will be equivalent to giving everything to the Tuli Khan. They can only withdraw their troops, and Xue Yantuo can use various means to disintegrate...not to mention other things. Bu Khan died in the battle, does Xue Yantuo still have the courage to attack Chang'an?

Therefore, Su Dingfang did not stop him, and Fan Shiyi, who was exploring the northwest direction, kept returning his scouts. There were no other Huqi within at least thirty miles.

An hour and a half later, in the Tang Army camp located southwest of Liquan County and northwest of Wugong County, Li Shanduan sat at the head, beside him sat Zhongshu Ling Dou Gui, who was temporarily dispatched as the deputy general manager of the Jingzhou Road March, and another Sitting to the side is Wen Yanbo, the commander of the army and the minister of household affairs.

"This time it's our old partner again." Li Shan said with a smile.

"I hope I can defeat the Turks again." Wen Yanbo, who looked a little tired, also had a smile on his face.

Even Dou Gui, who seldom smiled on weekdays, smiled and nodded, "Zhang Zhongjian sent a messenger to report that the combined troops of Tujue and Xue Yantuo were about 70,000 to 80,000, which was not as strong as the troops in the battle of Jingzhou last year."

Last year in the battle of Jingzhou, Dubu Khan and Tuli Khan mobilized an overwhelming force, with more than 100,000 combined troops, which was indeed larger than this time.

Although they were worried in their hearts, they all had smiles on their faces. That was because the battle report from the front had been sent. Dubu Khan personally led thousands of cavalry to defeat the Tang army south of Xi County. However, Su Dingfang led 3,000 Tang cavalry to catch up in time. When they arrived, they turned defeat into victory and defeated the Turks. Dubu Khan fled with hundreds of horses.

Li Shan, Dou Gui, and Wen Yanbo were all greatly relieved to achieve such results in the first battle.

After chatting for a while, the generals arrived one after another. Li Shan glanced around. The first one on the left was Su Dingfang, followed by Qu Silang, Wang Junhao, Liu Heier, Er Zhu Yichen, Ma Sanbao, Zhou Fang and Qizhou governor Chang Da.

The first person sitting on the right side is Qin Qiong, followed by Su Xu, the military counselor of Tiance Mansion, Li Mengchang, the general manager of Longzhou, Dou Shilun, the governor of Binzhou who just arrived, and Chang He, who sits at the back.

Li Kai, who was the last one to enter the account, had a slightly strange look on his face and didn't know which side to sit on...According to the camp, he should sit next to Qin Qiong on the right, but according to the relationship, he should sit on the left next to Su Dingfang Next up, after all, Ma Sanbao is also sitting on this side. "Haha, there is a saying in "The Book of Songs" that the Jing River is turbid and the Wei River is turbid." Li Shan gave a slightly sharp laugh with an expressionless face, "The Jing River is clear, and the Wei River is turbid. The Jing River flows into the Wei River, but it is clear and turbid. , so it is clear between Jing and Wei."

Dou Gui and Wen Yanbo both looked serious, knowing what this Wei Siwang meant.

"The lonely king leads the army and never looks at factions." Li Shan looked indifferent, "Therefore, Zhang Wu'an is calm and measured, Xue Wanche is brave and brave, Duan Zhixuan, Feng Shili, and Kan Ling are all like this."

Dou Gui nodded slightly, not to mention that Li Shan, Zhang Shigui, and Xue Wanche were sworn brothers to Jinlan in the battle of Guji Town. In the battle of Jingzhou last year, Duan Zhixuan, Feng Li, and Kan Ling were from different positions, but they were able to join hands. After the military report arrived in Beijing, His Majesty greatly appreciated it.

"If there is any discord in this battle, no matter whether it is a close confidant of Gu Jianba, an old general who has served in the battle with Gu, or even a general who has been beloved by His Highness for many years, they will not be exempted from sin."

Wen Yanbo cast a look at Dou Shilun, whom he had a friendship with... Don't show off!

Dou Shilun was the youngest son of the late Chen Guogong Dou Kang. His second brother was Shi Doujing, the governor of Bingzhou, and his third brother was Taichang Qing Dou Dan, Princess Xiangyang's consort. Because he was deeply favored by Dou Kang, Dou Shilun had an arrogant temperament, even in The same was true in front of Li Shimin.

There was silence in the Chinese military tent. Su Dingfang and others on the left remained silent. They were all generals who had been with Li Shan for many years or were highly trusted. Chang Da was also under his command during the battle of Jingzhou, and those on the right... After a while, General Chang He, the guard of the right prison, came out and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty and His Royal Highness have entrusted you with an important task, and you should be assigned by the commander-in-chief."

Well, the people on the right are all from the lineage of the King of Qin, so Chang He can barely be considered... In fact, Chang He only came out because of the eyes of Chang Da, the clan uncle on the opposite side.

Qin Qiong seemed to be a man of few words. He held his hands calmly and said, "You must obey the military order."

Li Shan glanced over, and this person seemed a little unconvinced... maybe because he had been obeying orders under Li Shimin before, maybe because he felt that he, the heir of Wei, was not qualified, or maybe he felt that he, the heir of Wei, had to Taking credit?

"De Mou, please sit down." Li Shan glanced at Zhu Ba, who was standing next to him, "Summon King Ma Bin, Li Qianyou, and Liu Rengui to enter the account."

"Yes."

After a while, in addition to these three people, there was also Yu Chigong who had a look of regret and regret on his face.

The seats immediately changed. Qin Qiong stood up and gave up her seat to Yu Chigong... They had cut off Li Jiancheng's head. He couldn't accept it, but Yu Chigong also did his part. This guy is not a humble person.

Su Dingfang tilted his head to indicate that Qu Silang stood up and gave up his position to Ma Zhou, while Chang Da and Chang He changed positions.

Li Mengchang hesitated for a moment and changed places with Wang Junhao opposite him... The latter also knew that the Longzhou manager and his Alang were considered brothers-in-law.

The atmosphere in the tent finally relaxed.
