Chapter 695 The Outrageous Battle (43)

"Xieli should send someone to call Sunishi and Tuli back to Huai'an..."

After Li Yuanji finished explaining Yu Wenbao, when he returned to the main tent of the Chinese army, Li Shimin greeted him with a deep expression and said something.

Li Yuanji also had the same guess, but he didn't rush to tell the truth, but asked: "Why does the second brother think so?"

Li Shimin sneered and said: "With Jieli's temperament, after learning that the royal court was attacked, millions of cattle, sheep, horses, and countless gold, silver and jewels were robbed, he would definitely send someone to go through Li Jing's house." They were chased and intercepted on the road.

Although the remaining soldiers and horses in his hands can fight us, they are far from enough.

So he will definitely make Suni Shi and Tuli give up attacking Suizhou, lead the army back to Huai'an, then clenched his fists and gave us a hard blow. "

Li Yuanji laughed and said, "Then he is doomed to be disappointed..."

The soldiers and horses of the Twelve Guards have arrived in Yanzhou, and with the soldiers and horses in Suizhou, they have already encircled Suni Shi and Tuli. If they are lucky, they can keep Suni Shi and Tuli in Yanzhou.

If they were unlucky, most of Suni and Tuli's troops could be kept.

Therefore, Xieli expects Sunishi and Tuli to come back and help him launch a decisive battle in Huai'an City.

Li Shimin nodded and said confidently: "He must be disappointed. The troops of the Twelve Guards, Li Shenfu, Yin Kaishan, Su Dingfang, Luo Shixin, Li Daozong and others, if even Suni Shi and Tuli's men If half of the soldiers and horses can't stay, then their lives will be in vain."

Li Yuanji smiled and said: "You might as well say, you have made so many arrangements, if you can't even keep half of Suni Shi and Tuli's soldiers and horses, your life will be in vain."

Li Shimin snorted and said, "That's what I mean."

Li Yuanji nodded and smiled, "Then let's wait and see?"

Li Shimin nodded in agreement and at the same time reminded: "We must send someone to remind Li Jing, lest Li Jing be ambushed by others."

Li Yuanji nodded slowly and said: "I have already sent people to Xiaoguan, and asked Liu Hongji to send a fine cavalry to meet Li Jing and his party outside the pass. Armor is the main one.

Once encountering an ambush by the Turkic people, kill and burn everything they looted from the Turkic royal court. They must not lose their lives because of some cattle, sheep, gold, silver and jewelry. "

Compared with cattle and sheep, as well as gold, silver and jewelry, people are obviously more valuable.

Many times, many people choose to put the cart before the horse.

But for those who do big things, when they are in danger, they can easily judge which one to choose.

Li Jing, An Xinggui, and Ma Sanbao have either already done great things, or are about to do big things, so they know how to choose.

Li Shimin said: "That's good..."

Just when Li Yuanji and Li Shimin were thinking about Li Jing, Li Jing was leading the people forward on the grassland.

The heavy snow that Xieli and Yugu were worried about had already started to fall, and it lasted for three days and three nights, and the snow accumulated a full two and a half feet thick.

Li Jing and his party had to go on their way while clearing the snow.

However, this is nothing to Li Jing and his party. The real threat to Li Jing and his party is the direction.

Driving on the grassland covered with more than a dozen quilts is completely no different from driving in the desert.

The terrain in the front, back, left, and right is basically the same, and there is a vast expanse of whiteness in the front, back, left, and right.

Li Jing and his party lost their way after a foot and a half of heavy snow had accumulated, but no one dared to speak out, for fear of shaking the morale of the army, so only Li Jing, An Xinggui, and Ma Sanbao knew that they had lost their way.

They are now relying on their intuition to identify the direction and hurry.

"Pfft..."

After a Xuanjia soldier fell off his horse exhaustedly, Li Jing wiped the snow that fell on his eyebrows and beard, and said to Ma Sanbao beside him: "Send the order, let's rest where we are."

Ma Sanbao nodded and went down to deliver the order.

An Xinggui approached Li Jing at this time, and asked in a low voice, "Have you found your way?"

Li Jing's face darkened slightly, and he shook his head slowly.

The excitement that had just floated on An Xinggui's face disappeared in an instant.

"Then you let everyone rest where they are?"

Li Jing glanced at An Xinggui and said, "We've traveled a full fifty miles, it's time to rest."

An Xinggui lowered his face and said, "We can't find our way, we can't find our way back, and if we drive fifty miles, it's the same as if we didn't drive."

Li Jing jumped off the horse, took the water bag that Bu Qu handed over, took a sip of the frozen water, and said in a deep voice: "Although I don't know the exact direction to go back, but I know, as long as We walk facing the sun every morning, and walk with the sun behind our backs after noon, and we will definitely be able to reach Daizhou.

When we arrive in Daizhou, we will go back. "

An Xinggui opened his mouth, but didn't speak again, and returned to his head to talk about life and cooking.

After Li Jing raided the Turkic royal court, looted a large number of high-quality horses, some cattle and sheep, and a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, and set fire to the remaining cattle, sheep and horses, he judged that Jie It is very likely that Li sent people to rob and kill them on their only way back to Lingzhou and Liangzhou.

So decisively chose to cross the Turks, head straight to Daizhou, and meet Li Xiaogong.

Anyway, their mission this time is to raid the Turkic royal court. Now that the mission has been completed, they can do things cheaply and don't have to go back the same way.

It is obviously safer to go to Daizhou to meet Li Xiaogong, so I must choose to go to Daizhou.

"Where are Xiao Guiren and Yang Guiren?"

After habitually looking at the distant terrain, Li Jing asked about the steps around him.

Part [-] hurriedly pointed to some directions. In that direction, there were seven or eight women wrapped in thick furs, surrounded by a group of soldiers selected from the personal guards of Prince Qi's Mansion.

The women huddled together and tightly protected the two elderly women among them. One of the women was holding a box that was only the size of a fist with a pale face, and stared at all the soldiers around him vigilantly.

Li Jing warned in a low voice, "We must let His Royal Highness King Yang take good care of Yang Guiren, especially the things in Yang Guiren's arms. No matter it is day or night, they must not let them leave their sight."

Bu Qu hesitated for a moment, and said with some incomprehension: "Since that thing is so important, why didn't you just grab it? Anyway, they have already fallen into our hands, and even if we snatched things from them, they would just I can submit obediently."

Li Jing glared at Bu Qu and said: "What do you know? Although the two of Xiao Yang are in trouble, they are still noble people with noble status. We can take them back to Datang together, but we can't be rough on them.

Otherwise, if the sage and King Qi care about it, we will have no good fruit to eat. "

Bu Qu asked even more incomprehensibly: "The sage and His Royal Highness King Qi can still embarrass us for two outsiders?"

Li Jing laughed and said, "Outsiders? Who are outsiders? In terms of relationship and in-laws, one is the saint's cousin-in-law and the other is the saint's cousin. His Royal Highness King Qi called him cousin and aunt when he saw him. outsider?
Compared with others, we are outsiders. "

Bu Qu looked back at the two surrounded women, not knowing what to say.

Li Jing continued: "In short, we have to take him back respectfully, and we have to take back the things in Yang Guiren's arms intact."

Bu Qu couldn't help but said: "What is that thing in Yang Guiren's arms? I remember when the brothers rushed into her tent and snatched those priceless treasures, you didn't say anything, but she was holding that thing You stopped us when we were threatened with death.

Could it be that that thing is worth more than a priceless rare treasure? "

Li Jing glanced at Bu Qu, and said calmly: "For some people, it is more precious than all the treasures in the world, and for some people, it is a reminder."

Bu Qu looked at Li Jing suspiciously.

So what exactly is that thing?
At this time, Ma Sanbao had already delivered the order to rest at the same place, and returned to Li Jing, panting, "Boss, the brothers have been on the road for several days, and they are almost exhausted.

We have to give up some cattle, sheep, and horses. "

At the end, Ma Sanbao had a heartache on his face.

From the raid on the Turkic royal court to the present, the number of cattle, sheep and horses they gave up has exceeded [-], and it hurts to think about it.

If the more than 8 cattle, sheep and horses are transported back to Datang, they will immediately get rid of poverty and become rich, and it will also increase the assets of a small group of them by [-]%. even more.

So giving up cattle, sheep and horses is tantamount to giving up money.

The more you give up, the more money you lose.

How could Ma Sanbao not be heartbroken.

However, even if it is a heartache, Ma Sanbao will not hesitate when it is time to give up, and will even take the initiative to raise it.

Because their first priority now is to save their lives, which is more important than anything else.

Li Jing pondered deeply for a while and then said: "Abandon all those injured horses. Cattle and sheep cannot be abandoned. If we abandon them, we will have nothing to eat on the way."

Ma Sanbao frowned and said: "I agree with abandoning those injured horses, but if we don't abandon some cattle and sheep, it will slow down our journey.

Although when we raided the Turkic royal court, we felt as if we were in the land of no one, and there were no large numbers of soldiers and horses chasing us afterwards.

But no one can guarantee that those tribes that are not attached to the royal court will not stare at us and gather together to chase us.

So we have to hurry as soon as possible, and we can get out of danger when we reach Daizhou. "

Li Jing glanced at Ma Sanbao, sighed, and said, "Let's wait a little longer, when we come across a place where we can clearly identify the location, we will bury all the goods we robbed there.

That way, we can reduce some of the load. "

Ma Sanbao pondered for a while, and said decisively: "Why don't you give up some of your belongings now?"

Li Jing's eyes fell on the soldiers who were starting to light the fire while An Xinggui shouted, and he said helplessly: "They are not exhausted and unable to move, you let them give up the gold, silver and jewels they got, and they are still priceless." Gold, silver and jewelry, do you think they would be willing?"
