Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

After pondering for a while, Li Jicai asked cautiously: "Then... the problem of supply, there is no way to solve it, right?"

Both Li You and Su Dingfang smiled brightly.

"General Su, then please introduce the instant noodle rations to General Li..."

Chapter 601 Tang Jun is vulnerable! (Second more)

After a while, after Li Ji and Su Dingfang went out, they kept shaking their heads and sighing.

"It seems that the old man is really out of touch with the Tang Dynasty. Before I come to find His Royal Highness the King of Chu today, I really should have a good understanding of the army, so that I won't be so embarrassed!"

In fact, this can't be blamed on Li Ji. Originally, he thought that he was already familiar with the Datang Army. Besides, the Datang Army was a department that did not change much for ten years. Therefore, Li Ji didn't waste time to take a look at it, so he came directly. Looking for Li You.

Su Dingfang comforted: "This is not General Li's fault, and it must be the same for me. After all, who could have imagined that in just over half a year, there have been so many earth-shaking changes in the Tang army?"

There is no doubt that all of this is because of "Nine Eight Seven" Li You. It was only now that Li Ji and Su Ding suddenly discovered that, indeed, in the past half year, Li You has brought too many changes to the Tang Dynasty!

It is no exaggeration to say that the entire Tang Dynasty is completely new!

……

Gaochang country.

The news that Li You and Li Ji led the army to attack quickly spread. After all, the momentum was very huge, and Li You and the others didn't think about concealing it, so it was easy to know.

"Father, now that Chu Wang Li You and Li Ji are leading [-] iron cavalry, they want to fight with great momentum, how should we deal with it?"

Qu Zhisheng, the son of Gaochang King Qu Wentai, asked from below. Qu Wentai pondered for a while on the throne before speaking slowly.

"Is this day still here after all... I had long expected that there would be a time when the Tang Kingdom would not be able to bear us, and I was also ready when it became attached to the Western Turks."

Qu Zhisheng asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid at all?"

Qu Wentai laughed and said: "Afraid? Why should I be afraid? That Li Ji who leads the troops is really troublesome, but what kind of thing is Li You, the king of Chu? Do you make up the number? And even if they are troublesome, they will not threaten us at all. !"

"Why?"

Qu Wentai snorted coldly: "Tang country is more than [-] miles away from Gaochang, and there are deserts for [-] miles. It is cold in winter and hot in summer. Without water and grass, it is difficult for the army to move forward!"

"If the Tang army marches to Gaochang by force, not only will the long distance lead to a lot of loss of horses, but their food and grass will be eaten up within [-] days! At that time, if we fight the Tang army again, we will definitely be able to easily defeat them, so there is no such thing as What to worry about!"

"Your Majesty's words are bad." An old man said beside him.

Qu Wentai frowned: "Ma Ming, what do you mean?"

This Ma Ming is an important minister of Gaochang Kingdom and the head of the Ma family, one of the four largest families in Gaochang Kingdom. It can be said that he is highly respected.

Because the origin of the Ma family is not simple, the king of Gaochang has experienced four families before and after, namely Kan's Gaochang, Zhang's Gaochang, Ma's Gaochang and Qu's Gaochang, which is also the origin of the four major families of Gaochang.

Although the first three families are no longer royal families, the power they have accumulated before is not simple, and gradually developed into one of the several major forces in the court of Gaochang, and the Ma family is one of them.

Because of this, Ma Ming was neither arrogant nor humble in the face of Qu Wentai's questioning: "This minister is just saying that His Majesty has some omissions."

"Oh?" Qu Wentai raised his eyebrows, "Would you like to hear it?"

"I heard that there was something called a horseshoe in Tang country. Although the specific details have not been circulated, it is said to be a sacred object that can protect the horse's hoof from damage! So after the Tang army arrived, it is very likely that not a single horse was lost!"

Qu Wentai pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and said to himself: "I have also heard about this, so it is very possible... However, if not a single horse is lost, their food situation will be even worse! This will also greatly benefit us. what!"

As he spoke, Qu Wentai showed a scheming smile: "If the horse's hooves are worn out, at least they can kill the horse and eat meat, otherwise their rations will be seriously consumed!"

"Besides, I have also made an agreement with the Western Turks' Yugu. If Gaochang is attacked, then the Western Turks will send troops to help, so that I am willing to join them in the Western Turks. It can be said that it is foolproof!"

When Qu Zhisheng heard the words, he breathed a sigh of relief and cupped his hands, "Father Wang Yingming!"

When the courtiers below saw this, they also knelt down and bowed...

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Qu Wentai sneered proudly and pointed at another person: "Zhang Tian!"

"Chen is here!"

A majestic man in armor stood up. He was one of the four major families, Zhang's family, Zhang Tian, ​​and he was also the general of Gaochang.

"Zhang Tian, ​​I ordered you to lead the army to Tiandi City to garrison, and prepare to meet the Tang army! If the Tang army wants to attack me, Gaochang, it must pass through that city. At that time, they can be exhausted and exhausted!"

The location of Tiandi City is in Lukqin, southwest of Shanshan, Xinjiang. It is the main traffic road to the capital of Gaochang. Qu Wentai made the most correct judgment based on his familiarity with the terrain.

"Yes!"

Zhang Tian took his order and left with a smile on his face.

Because he also agrees with Qu Wentai's judgment, when the time comes, they will be in perfect condition to hang and beat the exhausted Tang Jun, which can be described as a crushing battle!

And what they need to do now is to count the time and wait. It can be said that the rulers and ministers of the entire Gaochang Kingdom are full of confidence in this!

……

Time passed quickly, and the army led by Li You and Li Ji also arrived at Qikou.

Qikou is now the territory of Erlianhot in Inner Mongolia. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing's battle of Qikou against the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan took place here.

"What a nostalgic place."

Both Li Ji and Su Dingfang couldn't help but sigh, because this place was equally familiar to both of them.

Not to mention Su Dingfang, who had followed Li Jing before, Li Ji also went straight to Qikou. When Jieli was forced to flee in a hurry by Su Dingfang, he intercepted Jieli in Qikou, who was killed with only ten thousand men left.
