Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 953 Heading west with all my strength!

The brothers Changsun Wunai and Changsun Wuao are not the most outstanding among the children of the Changsun family, but they are the most humane; at the beginning of Zhenguan, every time these two guys came to the East Palace, they would bring some small children from the market. Things come.

They didn't know the real situation of Li Chengqian, but no matter what, it was an uncle's love for his nephew. This was human affection and a manifestation of their loyalty.Now that they just died like this, turning into two bloody corpses, Li Chengqian felt extremely heavy in his heart.

It is inevitable that the general will die before the battle, and when he goes into battle, he must be prepared to return in full body, just like Princess Ankang, even though she is very reluctant in her heart, she can never say anything.The same is true for the Changsun family. After all, they all serve the court, so whose life is more noble than whose?

After personally wiping the blood-stained faces and hands of the eldest grandson's brothers, Li Chengqian immediately issued a military order after tidying up the remains;Second, all disabled soldiers were transferred to Liangzhou to recuperate and receive special care, so as to minimize casualties.

Third, the main force of the Hexi Road immediately marched westward after replenishing supplies, mopping up the small groups of Western Turkic cavalry from Liangzhou to Ganzhou, and then continued westward along the Qilian Mountains, heading straight for Suzhou, completely opening up the blocked supply line.

Fourth, the Jianfu Army was immediately reorganized on the spot, supplemented by soldiers from Liangzhou Prefecture, commanded by Zhang Shigui and Lu Chengqing, and moved westward immediately after the reorganization was completed!The city defense of Liangzhou was handed over to the lieutenant general.

"Prince, the two eldest grandson generals are relatives of the emperor, should they put the body in a coffin and send someone back to Chang'an!" Xu Jingzong whispered from the side.

"That's right, Your Highness! The two generals sacrificed their lives for the country. Reasonable and reasonable, they should arrange for someone to help the coffin back to Beijing. I believe that no one will gossip." Dou Kuan knew what the crown prince taboo, so he and Xu Jingzong discussed it just now and planned to say this for the prince.

I thought it was a matter of going with the flow, but the crown prince shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, don't do this special thing, those who are lying down and standing are all soldiers, and they can understand it. If the war is urgent, don't engage in those empty heads." Crazy."

After finishing speaking, after taking another look at the bodies of the two brothers, Li Chengqian ordered Laizheng to execute the military order immediately, then turned and walked towards the wounded barracks.

The fight between Liangzhou and the Great Wall in the North was so lively, of course it was impossible to hide it from everyone's eyes and ears. Such a large Turkic army was wiped out, and it was impossible to be completely impenetrable, and this was exactly what Li Chengqian wanted.

Only by killing them can they have the effect of frightening the thieves. The remaining shrimp soldiers and crab generals must be scattered, desperately retreating westward, withdrawing from the border and regrouping for backup, otherwise they will be the next to be wiped out.

Based on this kind of strategic anticipation and grasp of the rhythm of the battlefield, Li Chengqian boldly pushed the main force of the Hexi Road forward, and then pushed it all the way to the city of Suzhou! .
When the army arrived in Suzhou, the former army had cleared some of the Western Turkic rangers in Suzhou, and the rest of the Western Turks had broken away from contact with the Tang army, and retreated to the west of Daze and east of the Juyan Desert.

The Turkic people this time were very smart, and they happened to be stuck between Yumen Pass and Suzhou. Because they were located in the northeast of Yumen Pass, they could take care of both places. They were able to hold the throat of the westward advance, and there was a certain gap than Li Chengqian expected.

"With the Tianshan Mountains as their backs, and the traffic throat leading to the Tianshan Mountains, it seems that they don't want to give up the land west of Helan Mountains, and they think it's beautiful! However, no matter how you look at it, it seems a bit unreasonable!"

After Fang Yizhi finished speaking, Qin Huaiyu took over the words: "It's not a question of whether you want to think about it or not. Their new force in the east has been eaten up, and the west of Helan Mountain is now empty. Those stationed in this area are all It’s just old and weak soldiers and herdsmen.”

"The Western Turks want to stop losses in time. They not only threaten the rear of our intersection, but also want to use the desert and no-man's land as natural barriers to confront our army for a long time. After exhausting our army's supplies, they will come back and use cavalry This is an old trick, nothing unusual!"

What Qin Huaiyu said made sense. The good thing was that Hou Junji's department had already been contacted, supplies had already been delivered, and the battle in Gaochang was finally coming to an end. Li Chengqian had a lot of patience for how to play with the Turkic people in the future!

Before the discussion on the big tent was over, the scout in charge rushed in and presented the latest scouting report: the head of the Turkic Army was replaced by Princess Ashi Nalu, and he also uttered wild words: I am afraid that I will never come back. Thousands of people died in battle, but one person survived alone, and he would not follow the Tang Dynasty!

Hearing this piece of information, all the generals in the big tent looked at the crown prince. Well, the Turkic Khan played this trick very well. This is obviously a rogue. The king of a country is not afraid of being poked in the back when he does this.

"I'm all looking at what Gu is doing, don't say they changed a princess, even if Si Yehu took out the ancestral tablets, Datang will fight this time." After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian got up and came to the map to explain the blank area. question
Li Xiyu, the governor of Lingzhou, has already used all his troops in Lingzhou and Huaiyuan to move westward, and used the fastest speed to receive the empty Western Turkic land. In addition, Jiang Ke, the governor of Yuanzhou, led [-] soldiers from the government to support Li Xiyu. After the completion of the task, it was placed under the jurisdiction of Hexi Road.

So no matter what the Turkic people think, the price for their invasion of Datang this time is the area west of Helan Mountain. Losing their wives and losing their troops is just an appetizer.

From the Turkic occupation of Bailongguan to the death of the brothers of the Changsun family, how many soldiers and civilians died in the Tang Dynasty, now this thing is just interest. Only by sweeping up the Tianshan Mountains and cleaning up the Liting can they avenge their hatred, not to mention replacing it with an envoy Lu blocked the way, even the king of heaven and Lao Tzu couldn't do it.

"Tell Xi Junmai, be bold and provocative, fight as hard as you can, and let the Turkic people understand that the war has just begun!" During the conversation, he continued to order Laizheng: "Tell Zhang Shigui and Lu Chengqing to speed up the march! , must join the main force of our army within ten days!"

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian waved his hand to signal to disband the accounts. The previous one only reported the victory to the emperor, but did not report the death of the two elder brothers of the grandson family, because he was afraid of affecting the morale and hearts of the court.It's different now, the balance of the battle has tilted towards Datang, and he can report it with confidence.

Not only that, but he also had to write two family letters, one to Empress Changsun and one to Changsun Wuji. The bad news was sent back to Chang'an. The two brothers and sisters didn't know how sad they were. Li Chengqian had to write a letter to explain and comfort everyone. Fan. .
