The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Winter is the most taboo time to march in the grassland. Firstly, the vegetation is withered and the warhorses lack food, and secondly, it is too cold to reduce the combat personnel.

But there is such an army today, and they chose to march long distances at this time. They are Qianqi.

The weather is too cold, and the mouth will be filled with cold wind, so no one talks, and everyone just walks quietly like this.

"Look at the city." Suddenly someone pointed and shouted.

Everyone looked from a distance, and the outline of a city appeared in front of them, and the crowd immediately cheered like a frying pan.

Li Xiaogong tightly wrapped the wolf fur coat around his body, showing a trace of relaxation, and said:
"Special brew, Dingxiang City has finally arrived, I want to find ten women to warm me up."

Wang Fangyi also smiled and said, "It's too difficult to march in a hurry in winter, but fortunately, the brothers persevered."

Li Xiaoyi said: "Look at what the brothers are wearing, how could they not persist."

All the wolf fur coats, gloves, hats, face masks, and boots were obtained from killing wolves in the original camp, and they were sewn by local people.

She wears sheepskin jackets, trousers, and sweaters.

Afraid of frostbiting the horses, there are even sheepskin clothes for the horses.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that their marching speed is not fast, and they let the horses walk naturally.

Even so, marching in winter is too difficult, and it is an unprecedented test.

Wang Fangyi said with emotion: "Now I admire the Duke of Wei even more. Back then, he marched and raided the Xieli tent in such an environment and won a complete victory."

Li Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Are you envious?"

Wang Fangyi asked back: "Aren't you envious?"

Li Xiaoyi said bluntly: "Envy, that soldier doesn't envy such a victory."

"3000 people raided the Eastern Turkic King's Tent and won a complete victory. The victory against the powerful enemy was established in one fell swoop, and it will be recorded in the annals of history."

Wang Fangyi laughed loudly and said, "Haha, it's useless to be envious, who told you that I wasn't born in that era."

"However, it's not that there is no chance to follow suit. There are vicious wolves in the grasslands. Someday you can lead an army to raid Yinan's king's tent, so that Duke Wei can't be more beautiful than before."

Li Xiaoyi squinted and said: "If I go, can you run away? But I really hope that after such a short while, our brothers can also be recorded in the annals of history."

Then he said vividly and vividly: "On a certain day in Zhenguan, Li Xiaoyi and Wang Fangyi led a thousand riders to attack Zhenzhu Yinan Khan King's tent at night and smashed it."

Wang Fangyi also said longingly: "If there is such a day, I will die without complaint."

Many people in the team are also discussing this issue. After all, they specially petitioned to be transferred to Dingxiang City, isn't it just for this battle.

Hua Wu quietly came to Jing Hengyan's side, and asked, "Captain, do you think Xue Yantuo will really call?"

Jing Hengyan glared at him, and said, "Ask me about this, who should I ask. I'm not a roundworm in Yi Nan's stomach, so how do I know what he's thinking?"

Hua Wu laughed and said: "You are familiar with the two captains, and you must know more news than us, so let me tell you a few words."

The people around also pricked up their ears.

Jing Hengyan thought for a while, and said: "This is not a secret, so I'll just tell you a few words."

Everyone praised: "Oh, the captain is really a brother."

Jing Hengyan said angrily: "Don't flatter me... The saint understands the descendants of the Eastern Turks, so he arranges them to settle here in their hometown in Monan."

"It's just that Xue Yantuo and East Turkic are feuds, and they are also giving the land of Monan, so naturally they don't want to see this situation."

"Xue Yantuo's army has been harassing and plundering the herdsmen on the Eastern Turkic border. The king of Huaihua County (Li Simo) complained to the court several times."

"Although the sage has repeatedly warned Yi Nan Khan not to cause trouble, but his wings are hardened, and he simply keeps advising him."

"So there is a high probability that this battle will be fought, and it will be this year and next, with a high probability of this year."

Hua Wu asked suspiciously, "Why this year?"

Jing Hengyan said: "Because the Eastern Turks will gain a firm foothold in Monan in two years, and it will pay a higher price to fight again at that time."

"Yi Nan Khan is a smart man, so naturally he won't wait until that day, and will definitely do it in advance."

Everyone suddenly realized: "It's still the captain who sees it thoroughly."

"That is, with the level of our captain, it is more than enough to be a general."

Although he knew that these people were trying to force him into ecstasy and let him say a few more words, Ke Jingheng was still somewhat proud.

After following Chen Jingke, he formally learned the profound art of war, and later learned from Wang Fangyi and Li Xiaoyi, his ability has indeed improved.

And he also made a lot of military achievements in the previous garrison. If he wants to, go to other troops to at least be a Zhechong captain.

But he knows that making meritorious deeds is indeed an opportunity to change your destiny, but if you want to be promoted quickly, your meritorious deeds must be seen by the people above.

Is there any army more eye-catching than Qianqi?Even the emperor paid close attention to it himself.

He has made a military contribution here, which can be used very well, and he is not stupid, so how could he leave.

Not to mention the mere dismissal of the captain, he would not leave even if given a guerrilla general.

He is a man with lofty aspirations. Because of his humble background and limited ability, Yuan Cong's forbidden army has never been able to emerge as a prominent figure.

Both Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng really shined in the Xuanwumen Incident, but unfortunately both of them died in battle.

Without the help of a prominent figure to speak, one cannot guarantee one's own interests.

This is why Yuan Cong's forbidden army has 3 people in the air, and it also guards the important place of Xuanwu Gate, but it is far less famous than other armies.

To put it bluntly, you are nothing without a boss leading you.

Jing Hengyan's ideal is that he wants to be the leader and lead Yuan to rise from the Forbidden Army.

Then Qianqi is the most suitable place for him to stay. He can learn real skills, make friends with a group of future bigwigs, and make meritorious deeds.

A similar conversation is taking place on the other side.

Sheng Liwei said to his subordinates: "... Now Datang has fewer and fewer enemies, and there are not many opportunities to fight."

"We can't miss this battle with Xue Yantuo, otherwise we will regret it in this life."

"But there are too many people staring at this military achievement. When it really comes time to do it, maybe it won't be our turn."

"That's why the two captains kept writing letters, requesting to be transferred to Dingxiang City to garrison here."

"In this way, no matter which general comes to fight this battle, it is impossible not to use us."

Everyone nodded: "The two captains are farsighted."

"Not only that, we also have people in Chang'an, or do you think it would be so easy to transfer?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Sheng Liwei's mouth, it was true.

The deployment of the army is a major event, especially for a cavalry of the Zhechong Mansion, it is even more difficult to change defenses across thousands of miles.

If it weren't for the efforts of the crown prince and Chen Zhenren, they would not be able to catch up with this battle.

But it’s fine for everyone to talk about it in private, and you can’t talk about it indiscriminately, otherwise it will arouse the jealousy of other troops.

He organized everyone to further discuss this matter, and then he continued: "Take a step back, even if Xue Yantuo is too timid to do anything, we don't have to worry about military achievements."

"Can the barbarian bear it, but can the tribal leaders under him bear it? They will definitely be dispatched frequently to plunder the East Turkic herdsmen."

"At that time, we will kill all the offenders in the name of protection."

"Get a hundred or eighty heads at a time, and within a year or two, all the brothers will be honored officers."

Yi Liang laughed loudly and said, "These brothers are familiar with each other, and they did this before."

He has already become a military cavalry captain by accumulating the number of heads. Although he is only the first rank among the twelve ranks of the Lord, he has officially completed the transformation of his identity.

If you can get an official position immediately after retiring, even if you die in battle, the honorary officer position can be passed on to your family.

Relying on his military merits, his family members will be able to become officials immediately.

You must know that his family was the home of bad people in Chang'an before. From a bad person to an honorary officer, this change can be called a change of fate.

There are many people like him, so Qianqi's people are all brave and good at fighting, and they are desperate to fight.

I'm afraid that my slow head will be snatched away by my teammates.

In other words, this is also a common phenomenon in the Datang army at this time.

That's why there is a miracle of a hundred people charging against an enemy of ten thousand people and winning the battle.

Only then will there be victory over more with less time and time again, and finally relying on a population of 3000 to [-] million, the Siyi will be defeated and surrendered.

The military merit system can be called the best system in the world, not one of them.

What kind of imperial examinations and the like, in the face of the military merit system, even the younger brother is inferior.

Just look through the history books and you will know what kind of countries and dynasties do not respect the military merit system.

While speaking, he was already approaching Dingxiang City, Wang Fangyi ordered the whole army to stop and rest on the spot.

Everyone knows this, the army cannot enter the city at will, even with the emperor's warrant.

What's more, this city is now inhabited by East Turkic people, so you have to be more careful.

Stop far away to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding, just wait for the other party to come to your door.

The army was busy and not chaotic. Someone restrained the horses, and someone lit a fire to boil hot water for everyone. Everything was in order.

Soon, envoys were sent from Dingxiang City, and the two sides vigilantly verified each other's documents and identity certificates, and then they were relieved of each other.

Later, under the guidance of the Turkic envoys, the army entered the temporary camp outside the city.

On behalf of Qianqi, Li Xiaoyi went into the city to meet Li Simo, the East Turkic Khan.

He is a descendant of the clan, and the clan is the most prominent branch in the clan. Li Simo is very polite to him.

Facing this new Eastern Turkic Khan, Li Xiaoyi was also very respectful, in short, the two sides talked happily.

However, the two soon had a disagreement. Li Simo hoped that Qianqi would be stationed outside Dingxiang City, which would be relatively safe and prosperous.

However, Li Xiaoyi insisted on going to the north of Monan and stationed at the junction with Xue Yantuo.

Li Simo hesitated and said: "Xue Yantuo often sends troops to harass the border. It is too dangerous there. Why should the daughter of Duke Liang take risks?"

"And in case there is a mistake, I can't explain it to the saint."

Li Xiaoyi resolutely said: "The sage took the arrows and defeated the rebel kings from all walks of life to have today's Tang Dynasty. As future generations, we should follow suit. How can we be the flowers in the greenhouse."

"You don't need to worry about my safety. If something happens, it's my fate. You can't blame anyone. The saint will not punish you for this."

Li Simo had no choice but to agree to his request.

When Li Xiaoyi left to rest, his subordinates said: "This is the reason why the Tang Dynasty is strong."

Wang Fangyi and the others didn't set off right away. After all, it was exhausting to switch defenses for thousands of miles, and everyone was exhausted.

Besides, after being a monk outside for so many days, everyone also needs to vent.

They don't need to think about this matter, Li Simo sent some women over in a very sensible way.

In fact, they really have no shortage of women at the border.

The border people are more realistic. Many women living here will take the initiative to find Tang Jun to form a temporary couple.

At least during the period when the Tang army was stationed, they would live a rare and peaceful life, and they could also earn a lot of income.

If the two sides agree with each other and the soldier is willing to accept her formally, it will change the fate even more.

This kind of women includes not only foreigners in the grasslands, but also Han people who live here for a long time, and the wives and daughters of people who were exiled here.

The imperial court also knew about this matter, so it did not prohibit it, and there was no way to object.

Half a month later, the revitalized Qianqi officially set off to station in the northern part of Monan.
……

There is a blank area between Monan and Mobei, which is a buffer zone divided by the Tang Dynasty to prevent disputes between Xue Yantuo and East Turks.

However, Xue Yantuo often crossed the blank area and entered Monan to plunder, so Li Simo had to send troops to garrison here.

But there is only a thousand days to be a thief, so there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days.

Not only failed to exile the invasion of the Xue Yantuo people, sometimes the sentry troops stationed here would be eaten.

Of course, there were also troops from the Tang army stationed here, but the number was too small. Although Xue Yantuo did not dare to attack the Tang army, he was able to go around.

Moreover, Tang Jun will not take the initiative to attack them, at most they will expel them.

Therefore, Xue Yantuo's people are usually very arrogant, and treat the buffer zone as nothing.

On this day, a sentry troop of more than a hundred Xue Yantuo entered here swaggeringly, and everyone rode lazily on the horses and let the horses walk on their own.

If someone finds out, they say they are on patrol, and if no one finds out, they take the opportunity to go to Monan to plunder the Turkic people. This is their old habit.

"Hey, captain, look, there is a group of Tang troops charging towards us over there." Someone said at this time.

"Really, they don't want to kill us, do they?" Someone yelled, but it was clear from the tone that they didn't care at all.

"Oh, I'm so scared. My mother-in-law is still waiting for me to go back to eat. I don't want to die here."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of your mother-in-law for you. I heard that your daughter is nine years old? I'll take care of you too."

"Haha..." The dirty joke made everyone burst into laughter.

"Okay, stop laughing. These Tang people are here to scare people again. Damn it, it's been such a long time, haven't they gotten tired of it?" the captain scolded.

Although Tang Jun will not take the initiative to attack them, showing off his force is the most common thing he does.

It's very simple, the cavalry rushed towards them with a charge, and then turned away when they were about to make contact.

If the Xue Yantuo people were in chaos, they would laugh wildly.

At first Xue Yantuo was really scared enough, but then he got used to it slowly.

Although very angry, they didn't dare to have trouble with Tang Jun because of this, they knew they couldn't afford it.

This squad leader has encountered such things several times, so he just cursed secretly, and restrained his subordinates not to panic.

However, he didn't realize that Tang Jun, who was rushing towards them in the distance, was different from what he had encountered before.
