Chapter 68

first month.

Li Jing led his troops to set off from Shuozhou, and the weather was still very cold at this time.

3000 people, all spraying white mist on the road.

To be honest, this expedition is not easy.

Because I don't know when, there may be snowstorms.

At that time, whether it can be carried out according to the predetermined plan is a question.

So, taking advantage of the good weather, they must speed up their journey.

That's right!

Li Jing's idea is actually that simple.

but!

Turkic Jieli Khan doesn't seem to think so.

In Dingxiang City, as soon as he heard the people below report that Li Jing was coming, the number of people was about 3000, he panicked on the spot!
Said to his subordinates:
"Li Jing dared to go so far alone, it must be because the Tang Dynasty's army has arrived, otherwise why would he?"

"Kang Sumi, you are in the rear. If they catch up, you must delay their steps."

When Li Jing arrived, he looked at Dingxiang City, which had been completely evacuated.

If it is normal, there must be a lot of Turkic camps around the city.

even……

If Jieli Khan's army were all there, his three thousand cavalry might be in danger.

However, his [-] cavalry were all the Xuanjia Army back then, and this combat power was not something that ordinary cavalry could resist. Even if he was surrounded, he was confident that he could break through.

So actually...

He came alone with [-] cavalry, maybe he didn't mean to seduce Xieli.

It was only when he arrived that he realized that Jieli was even more timid than he had imagined.

Now that everyone is here, let's make a surprise attack!

Those sporadic little people who left Jieli in Dingxiang were quickly dealt with.

In addition...

Keep one more alive and send spies to persuade Kang Sumi to surrender.

It can only be said that people have weaknesses, either money, fame or fortune, or worry about their own lives.

But Kang Sumi wanted it all.

In fact, everyone can see that Xieli's general situation is over, and it is meaningless to fight for Xieli now.

therefore……

Kang Sumi, who was at the end, directly chose to descend to Tang, but he did not deserve much credit for descending to Tang alone.

Therefore, he chose to descend to the Tang Dynasty with Empress Xiao Shi of Sui Yang Emperor and Sun Yang Zhengdao.

Why is Empress Xiao so charming?

In fact, it's not about how beautiful Empress Xiao is. Of course, Empress Xiao was still very beautiful when she was young. Otherwise, if you think about Sui Yang Emperor, is she a casual person?
Rather, as long as the Turkic people hold Empress Xiao in their hands, they have a political excuse, 'reverse the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty', ah, no, it is 'reverse the Tang Dynasty and restore the Sui Dynasty'.

Therefore, Datang must also want to get Empress Xiao.

otherwise……

Turks may use this as an excuse to do something at any time, and even instigate some restless forces within Datang to oppose Tang together.

As long as the Central Plains is in chaos, it will be beneficial to the Turks.

Do you think Datang is safe now?
no.

At least……

The people in Shandong are not very convinced, because only Dou Jiande, who is both civil and military, strict with self-discipline, courteous corporal, and meritocracy, is their spiritual leader. What is Li Er?
In fact, this probably has something to do with Dou Jiande being captured too quickly in Luoyang.

Anyway...

Although Dou Jiande is gone, the people of Shandong haven't forgotten his tall figure, with his leisurely spirit, his hawks flying over the river, leading the brave cavalry from Lanshan, driving the strong men from Yishui, crossing Yanqi, and imprisoning Zhao Wei!

Unfortunately.

Since Dou Jiande's defeat, there has never been a similar person.

otherwise……

It must be useful for Empress Xiao to stay in Turkic hands.

Now, it can only be said that these thoughts have been completely cut off.

Seeing that Kang Sumi tactfully brought Empress Xiao and her grandson Yang Zhengdao to vote, Li Jing was naturally very happy.

then……

Let Kang Sumi lead the way and continue to chase Xieli.

Now it's been overwhelmed.

If you don't chase, let the enemy run away.

……

Changan.

Li Er spread out a very rough map on the ground.

I was wearing socks and stepped on the edge.

Although Li Er believed in Li Chong's judgment, this war was different from other things, and accidents could happen at any time.

soon……

A report was sent in.

Naturally, it was sent by Li Jing.

"What's the matter? Say it!"

On Fang Xuanling's side, he also spread out a small piece of paper, looked at it carefully, and said with a dignified expression, "Li Jing has already arrived in Dingxiang and launched an attack on Dingxiang."

"how?"

"Jieli has already abandoned the city and fled ahead of time. The letter said that Kang Sumi, a confidant of Jieli, was persuaded to surrender, and Kang Sumi returned to the Tang Dynasty with Emperor Sui Yang, Empress Xiao, and her grandson Yang Zhengdao."

While Li Er was glad that Xiao Shi finally came back, at the same time, he was a little worried that Jie Li would run away.

He looked at Li Chong with an unsure face.

On Li Zhong's side, he was still drinking wolfberry red date tea.

no……

Where did his goji berries and red dates come from?

Seeing Li Er looking at him, Li Chong said, "Don't worry, with Li Jing's ability, it is impossible for Jie Li to run away. There should have been ambushes in front, when Jie Li was still laughing up to the sky, saying: I laugh at Li Jing." Wumou, when Shiji was mentally handicapped, Li Shiji might have caught up to his ass."

really.

Not long after.

When the report came again, it said that Xieli was blocked by Chai Shao and Li Shiji in turn during his escape.However, Jieli's four-wheeled tent still runs very fast. The main reason is that Jieli knows too well what it means to abandon the car to protect the handsome man, and what it means to keep his life alive, and he is not afraid of running out of sheep.

of course!

In fact, Tang Jun didn't have much loss.

The main reason is that your coach has run away, and the rest of you will definitely not resist too much.

Let the logistics staff take care of the captives and sheep and horses.

In a place called Baidao.

Li Jing discussed with Li Shiji what to do.

at the same time……

Jieli's letter of surrender was also sent to Chang'an by the envoys sent by Jieli.

Because of Li Zhong's butterfly effect.

This time Li Er almost didn't send envoys to negotiate peace, because after Li Chong's analysis, Li Er found that there was no need for that at all.

Li Chong was so frightened that he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten something?"

"what?"

"We must delay Xieli."

"So you mean..." Li Er said.

"Send an envoy out, pretend to negotiate peace, delay time, let Xieli put down his guard. Create opportunities for Li Jing and the others."

Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji both looked at Li Chong, they didn't expect this kid to be so poisonous.

"Li Chong, are you being too insidious?"

Changsun Wuji has never been used to Li Chong.

Li Chong said: "Does Jieli really want to surrender? What he really wants is to buy himself time. After this winter and spring, he will still be riding on top of Tang. I just want to In the same way, return to the other body. At the beginning, he turned his back on his words and came to the Wei River, forcing His Majesty to sign the Wei River Alliance. Half of the property in Chang'an City was looted by him. This has already been precedent. .Does Your Majesty still think this person is trustworthy?"

Li Er is not a hesitant person.

Wei Zheng also said: "Your Majesty, it is not easy for the generals of the Tang Dynasty to go to war once."

After being told by Wei Zheng, Li Er's determination was further strengthened.

In fact, Fang Xuanling was also hesitating whether he should say the same.

Unfortunately, it was interrupted by Li Er.

"Then who do you think should be sent?"

This is a problem.

After all, this is definitely going to die.

Li Chong thought for a while, and then said: "Among the ministers of the Tang Dynasty, whoever has a good relationship with Jieli and who is familiar with him will let him go. If you have been to the Turks before, and you don't care about the distribution of horses and tents on the Turkic side. Relatively familiar. Because it is necessary to plan the escape route in advance."

Fang Xuanling said, "The only one left is Tang Jian."

"Tell him, if he can succeed, it will be a great achievement!" Li Chong said.

"Go and call Tang Jian for me."

Li Er also said next.

Tang Jian is famous for his filial piety, he is usually straightforward and bold, and does not follow the rules.

Not following the rules, this...

It is very similar to Li Chong.

Li Er told him the plan.

People like this who are famous for their filial piety are naturally loyal. When they heard about such a difficult task, they just thought about it and agreed.

Li Chong was so scared that he didn't even know if he could do it or not.

or……

Do you follow along?
No, what if it gets folded in?
and!

Li Er would definitely not let him take risks.

In fact, Tang Jian knew in his heart that if Xieli knew that he was delaying time, he would definitely die.

Therefore, if you want to say that he did not hesitate, it must be wrong.

only……

His Majesty needs him now.

Can he not go?
Definitely have to go.

If he goes, if he succeeds, then he has made a great contribution, if he fails, at least he can leave his name in the annals of history.

and so……

This is not a consideration at all.

Definitely go!

After Li Er arranged Tang Jian, Li Chong said some plans.

For example:
If it was broad daylight and Tang Jian was standing in front of Jieli and talking, and when he heard the Tang army attacking at this time, Tang Jian would definitely die.

but!

What if it was dark night and it was snowing heavily, and everyone was sleeping soundly in their respective tents?

Then the possibility of Tang Jian escaping for his life is not impossible, and it is even very high.

Tang Jian looked at this young man, but he didn't expect that the other party thought of him so much.

Immediately, I couldn't help feeling a little grateful.

only……

If you let him know, it is such an inhuman suggestion made by Li Chong, I don't know if he will think so.

But no matter what, Tang Jian is still very grateful to Li Chong now.

Because the other party really thinks a lot about himself.

So the question is, what if it doesn't snow that night?
