The best idlers of the Tang Dynasty

The next day at the military meeting, Li Jing did not give the generals a chance to object, and directly issued an order to raid the Jieli Yinshan camp. Zhang Gongjin and Tang Jian are also relatives of their sons and daughters. They wanted to persuade them a few more words, but they were hardened by Li Jing's stern gaze. He stared back bitterly.

"Everyone, since the Taishang Emperor Taiyuan started his army, he has been bullied by the Turks, either as a minister, or as a tribute. In the Turkic place, our Tang Dynasty has spent a lot of money, and there are many. During the nine years of Wude, Jie Li was untrustworthy. It was soldiers who came to our country of the Tang Dynasty and threatened the holy man. Today, the holy man is the country, the country, and the only way to make Jieli retreat is to make people spend all his treasury. This year, the Turks attacked me again in Suizhou and captured my son. People, this is a great disgrace to the soldiers of my generation. Today, my king's teacher enshrined the holy order, sent troops to the Northern Expedition, punished the people, defeated Jieli and Dingxiang, and made the Turks flee. This is a golden opportunity, if you don't take , when Jieli regains his vitality in the future, he will surely retaliate, and everyone will obey orders!"

Zhang Gongjin originally gave up the idea of ​​dissuading him, but he still hesitated in his heart, and finally couldn't help but stood up and said, "General! The Northern Expedition to the Turks is a national policy, and the final general dare not say more, but now that the Holy Majesty has sent Tang Jian, An Xiuren went to Jieli to express his condolences, if the general insists on raiding the Jieli Yinshan camp at this time, firstly, he might violate the holy order, secondly, how can Master Tang comfort him, and the holy majesty might blame him in the future!"

Li Jing heard the words and said angrily: "Yesterday, the commander-in-chief already made it clear that it is the country of Tang Dynasty that is important, or Princess Yuzhang's father-in-law. If there is any problem this time, I, Li Jing, will naturally bear it all, and you don't have to bring it up." Press me!"

After Li Jing finished speaking, he immediately began to order: "Li Shiji!"

Li Shiji was a staunch supporter of Li Jing's decision. Hearing the order, he quickly got up, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly, "The end is here!"

"This commander ordered you to temporarily take the position of chief commander of the marching army, and lead the army to succeed."

Although he couldn't get the general order to command the troops to raid the Jieli camp, he couldn't help feeling disappointed, but the military order had been issued, and Li Shiji still accepted the order generously.

Then Li Jing ordered Su Dingfang, Yu Chigong and other lieutenants to command the elite cavalry of the headquarters, a total of [-], prepare rations for [-] days, and set off that night to gallop towards Iron Mountain.

After the generals dispersed, Li Jing said to Li Chengqian who stayed behind: "His Royal Highness will follow Li Shiji's army and march."

Li Chengqian had never been on the battlefield in person, and he knew how much he had, so he didn't object when he heard the words, and said, "Since that's the case, I'll take orders! The battle is dangerous, please take care of yourself, General!"

For Li Chengqian, Li Jing can also see some clues through these observations. He found that Li Chengqian is not as cowardly as the rumors in the market. He is not angry, but he is also a good and responsible man, so he can't help but pay more attention to it.

Then Li Jing glanced at Du Rui, who was standing behind Li Chengqian, and said: "The last time we raided the Jieli Dingxiang camp, you also visited the battlefield in person, but after all, you are the person next to His Highness the Crown Prince. I don't want to force you. I ask if you have the courage to follow the army to attack the Jieli Yinshan camp at night!"

Li Chengqian was present, and Du Rui couldn't make the decision without authorization, so he had to look at Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Chengming! Since the general values ​​you so much, you can go with me, but you must be careful and take care of yourself." Own!"

When Du Rui heard the words, he cupped his hands and said, "Du Rui takes orders!"

That night Li Jing commanded tens of thousands of fine riders, and all the generals took advantage of the night to set off, each wearing a pair of horses, and the horse rested without resting, striving to reach the Jieli Yinshan camp at the fastest speed, and they won the battle in one battle.

Before the army had advanced five miles, heavy snow began to fall from the sky. Li Jing looked at the sky and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He had a premonition that after this great battle, he might never have the chance to go out again. It is not peaceful, but after him, there will be many famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, and I am afraid that in the future, Li Shiji, Hou Junji and others will rule the world. Even Du Rui, with his talent and the wisdom of the current emperor, I am afraid that he will not be a bright pearl. Meng Chen, sooner or later he will lead the army to fight. Li Jing doesn't want to miss this last expedition. After listening to Du Rui's words that day, he also knows that his contribution is already great, so great that it is easy to be suspicious. It is indeed time for him to abdicate. He has spent his entire life leading the army to quell civil strife. Now the Northern Expedition, which he has been planning for several years, is what he dreams of, but this battle has nothing to do with it.

Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden report from a scout. He encountered more than a thousand Turkic tents in front of him. Li Jing immediately made a judgment, knowing that they should be the Turkic people who had been dispersed before, and they had not had time to join Xieli in Yinshan.

Li Jing wanted to understand this point, and immediately urged the army to advance, driving those Turkic people one after another, and headed towards Jieli's Yinshan camp. They wanted to fight the Tang army, but the Dingxiang victory, the Turkic people were already frightened. Seeing the Tang army coming, they only cared about running for their lives, and they didn't want to get resistance.

Besides, on Xieli's side, when he saw the Tang envoy coming to comfort him, he thought he had a plan, and everything would be safe. In addition, it was snowing heavily tonight, so he didn't take precautions.

When Li Jing's army arrived at Yinshan Mountain, seeing that the Turkic camp was lax, he sent general Su Dingfang to lead 200 cavalry as the vanguard.

At this time, Jieli also realized that something was wrong, so he quickly got up and asked people to gather the troops, but it was too late. These days, the Turkic soldiers and horses have been exhausted after running around for days. Still caring about their precautions, when they heard the sound of killing, there was a sudden commotion, and some soldiers ran out without even wearing armor, and they died indiscriminately.

Seeing that the Turkic camp was in disarray, Li Jing drew his sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "This is the moment when the man makes his achievements, all the generals follow me!"

This day's great contribution is right in front of us, and the generals can't care about other things at this time, as long as they can capture Jieli alive, it will be a great achievement, and it is not a problem to be named a Marquis and Prime Minister. Seeing that Li Jing's military order has been issued, he hurriedly He greeted the men and horses, and rushed towards the Jieli camp.

Du Rui is also full of enthusiasm at this moment. After solving Jieli, the border troubles of the Tang Dynasty will be completely eliminated. After that, he will be able to manage the Western Regions and expand the territory. When he thinks that he will also participate in the opening of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Du Rui doesn't care about other things. Urging the horse, he rushed over.

The generals led their troops into Jieli's camp and rushed to kill them. Su Dingfang, who was the first to rush in, drove straight in, and had already reached Jieli's sweat tent. West fled.

With the sudden attack on their backs, the Turkic army collapsed in an instant, wiped out more than 10 people, and captured more than [-] men and women.Tang Jian and An Xiuren also took advantage of the chaos and escaped.

After Jieli was defeated in Yinshan, he led his people to flee westward from Yunzhong in a hurry, intending to join Murong Fuyun, king of Tuyuhun, or Quwentai, king of Gaochang.On the way, most of the generals defected, and his son Dieluoshi also separated from him.

Soon, there were only dozens of cavalry around Xieli, who were about to flee into Tuyuhun's territory, but ran into Li Daozong's Datong army head-on.After a fierce battle, Tang General Zhang Baoxiang captured Jieli Khan.

So far the Northern Expedition was successful, Du Rui did not show too much talent in this Northern Expedition, he also knew that this campaign was just the accumulation of his own experience, there are so many countries in the Western Regions, Khitan in the north, and Khitan in the east. As for Goguryeo, he was not worried that he would not have the opportunity to make contributions, and as Li Jing said, at his age, if he was sharp, it might not be a good thing.

ps: The battle of the Northern Expedition, my brother wrote it very simply. After all, the Northern Expedition is not Du Rui's stage, as long as he can participate in it, it's ok!alright!The first volume of my little brother is coming to an end. The first volume of this book borrows the story of "The Long Song of Zhenguan" in many places. Next, this book will completely break away from "The Long Song of Zhenguan". Please continue to support me, little brother First, thank you!
