Chapter 50: Plundering the Desert
The reason why the nomads in the desert can constantly harass the border gates and come to the border gates to score points.

The reason is that they are all born cavalrymen.

Although the cavalry has no advantages in siege, it is better than coming and going without a trace.

This allows them to invade borders at will.

Once the border army is dispatched to suppress them, they often don't touch their buttocks, and they run away long ago.

And Jia Xu took advantage of this and sent the white-robed army deep into the desert to plunder cattle and sheep!
The White Robes are all elite cavalry and go deep into the desert, as long as they avoid large tribes.

Those small and medium-sized tribes are the dishes in their mouths.

A few rushes can kill all the resistance troops and steal their cattle, horses and other wealth.

Yue Fei led three thousand white-robed troops to attack and returned the next afternoon.

The record is very exaggerated.

They slaughtered two Turkic tribes of about 2000 people and captured a total of [-] cattle, sheep and horses!

……

Governor's Office.

Li Chengdao was very satisfied with Yue Fei's gains, and immediately ordered Xue Wanche to lead three thousand white-robed troops and go to the desert with Yue Fei to fight the autumn wind.

When they encountered small tribes, they plundered all the wealth including cattle, sheep, and horses.

When encountering a large tribe, they would walk around at a distance.

At this moment, Li Chengdao finally understood why so many Turks came to the border of Datang to burn, kill and loot every year.

This food and wealth came so quickly.

In the meeting hall, Lujiang King Li Yuan said: "Your Highness, you have seven thousand elite cavalry and sixteen thousand warriors under your command.

In addition to Youzhou's 7 troops, the total number is [-].

The strength in hand is no longer what it used to be, why not start planning to counterattack Chang'an? "

"Counterattack Chang'an?"

Li Chengdao was a little excited. With the army he now controlled, he indeed had the capital to counterattack Chang'an.

Li Yuan said with bright eyes: "Although Li Shimin controlled the court, he was also the Minister of War.

But most of his generals and troops were transferred to various areas on the border.

The number of defenders in Chang'an was not very large.

Li Shimin's evil deeds of killing his brother and forcing his father are known to the world. As long as His Highness announces that he will become the King of Qin in Chang'an, there will be a huge response.

If nothing else, Luo Yi, the guard general of Jingzhou, would definitely respond to His Highness and send troops to help. "

Luo Yi, the guard general of Jingzhou, was a member of Prince Li Jiancheng's party during his lifetime. He was good at fighting and unparalleled in bravery. He was no less generous than Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong and others.

The most important thing is that he guards Jingzhou with tens of thousands of troops. This is the most important thing!
If Li Chengdao counterattacked Chang'an, Luo Yi would definitely seek refuge with Li Chengdao and help him ascend to the throne as a man of Zhongyong.After listening to Li Yuan's words, Li Chengdao couldn't help but feel excited, because if he had a large army and Luo Yi helped him, he would have a great chance of regaining the throne!
Just when Li Chengdao was about to discuss the matter with Li Yuan in detail, Feng Li suddenly burst into the hall in a hurry.

"what happened?"

Seeing Feng Li in a hurry, Li Chengdao frowned slightly and asked.

"Your Highness, according to reports from our spies, there are [-] Turkic troops gathered a hundred miles away from Youzhou City, and they are rushing towards Youzhou City!"

Feng Li said urgently.

"Twenty thousand Turkic army?!"

Li Chengdao's expression changed when he heard this, and he stood up in shock, "Why did the Turks suddenly attack?"

Although there are often harassments from Turkic bandits in the border area, most of them are just for plunder and small troubles.

But this time it was different. There were actually [-] Turkic troops attacking!This is launching a large-scale war!

"Give me the order to prepare all the troops to fight against the enemy!"

Li Chengdao ordered without hesitation, then stood up and walked out of the living room, heading to the city wall.

……

Outside Youzhou City, [-] Turkic troops stood solemnly outside Youzhou City. It was so dark that they even had all kinds of siege equipment ready. Their momentum was amazing.

This large army is the army of the Muka tribe, one of the eight major Turkic tribes.

In the army formation, a tall man wearing a fur robe was riding on a horse, looking at Youzhou City from a distance, his eyes cold and filled with boundless murderous intent.

This man is none other than the leader of the Muka tribe, Muka Turge!
Just a month ago, his only son led troops to hunt and plunder in Youzhou. This was something they often did.

However, after this robbery, his only son and all the soldiers never came back.

When he sent people to search, they only found one headless corpse after another!

Then he heard from other channels that a royal noble from the Tang Dynasty came to Youzhou City. When he arrived in Youzhou, he led his men to massacre a group of Turkic cavalry.

Once the two things are combined, the truth becomes clear.

More importantly, in recent times.

Some small tribes under Turg's rule were massacred one after another, and their cattle, sheep and other wealth were plundered.

According to the investigation, this was also what the troops who had just arrived in Youzhou did.

How could Turg endure the old and new hatreds?

Immediately mobilize the troops to kill Youzhou and take revenge.

"No matter who you are, since you dare to kill my only son and slaughter my tribe, I will make you pay the price!"

Turg's eyes were cold and his tone was full of boundless anger.
