Datang: Touching the Corpse Li Yuanba at the Beginning

With a warning, Li Wenhao gathered a thousand people, withdrew from the battlefield, and walked towards Fan Xing's troops.

"Be sure to hold on!"

Looking at the chaotic battlefield, Li Wenhao's heart clenched tightly.

Fan Xing is definitely a seriously underestimated commander.

How can the person who can give Li Shimin the ten strategies to defeat Hu at the beginning be the generation of Yi Yu?

In Li Wenhao's future plan, Fan Xing is definitely the one who can succeed Du Ruhui as Minister of the Ministry of War in the future, or the general commander of the army in Mobei.

I dare not say anything else. Fan Xing's research on Turks has reached the extreme. If he is given enough support, Feng Lang Juxu would not dare to say, but it is absolutely easy to keep the border peaceful.

When Li Wenhao was marching towards Fan Xingchu, the Shandong Division led by Li Jiancheng had already passed the Valley of the Dead and appeared on the battlefield.

"King of Chu, Master Fan Xing is leading five thousand cavalry into the battle, please lend a helping hand."

Fan Xing's deputy, Wang Li, who was in charge of guarding the Valley of the Dead, said.

"Don't worry, the king will send troops immediately."

Pulling out his battle sword, Li Jiancheng seemed to have returned to the days when he was galloping on the battlefield with angry horses in fresh clothes.

"Luo Song, I'll give you an extra [-] people, and you charge to the left wing."

"Master Shi, I will also give you [-] people. You go to the right wing, and the rest follow me to kill the central army."

"Two generals, your purpose is not to kill the enemy, but to delay."

Li Jiancheng said solemnly, he was afraid that Luo Song and Master Shi would not understand what he meant.

"Uh!"

"Yes!"

The two were startled, but still bowed to accept the order.

Li Jiancheng smiled and signaled to go.

He said that harassment is not about fear of war, but that he has insight into the true intention of this battle.

Li Shimin has no intention of destroying Xieli's 200,000 army, and then giving Tuli a grassland where people are angry. This is not in the interests of Datang.

The best way is to achieve phased victories in war and then achieve strategic victories through negotiations.

In this way, although Jieli has suffered losses, his strength is still not weak, and he can still compete with Tuli when he returns to the grassland.

And when struggles started within the grassland, then Datang would have time to recuperate, and then completely calm down the grassland.

"Report! Khan, an army of no less than [-] has been killed in the Valley of the Dead. Their banner is the King of Chu."

"King Chu?"

Jieli thought for a long time before he remembered who the King of Chu was, but now he would rather not remember.

In the beginning, he stormed the Valley of the Dead, and wanted to enter Youzhou eastward because he was sure that the people in all counties and counties in Shandong were all from the party of the former prince, and Li Shimin would not be able to investigate.

But now Li Jiancheng actually went to Shandong to recruit troops to help. What does this mean?

It shows that Datang has completely hugged into a ball now.

"Tell the people below, one day, if you still can't pass through the Valley of the Dead, let's strike and negotiate!"

After saying this, Xie Li seemed to have lost all his strength and sat down on the chair in the handsome tent.

"King Chu, look, where is Master Fan's military flag."

"Kill the past!"

Li Jiancheng rushed over with his men.

The Turkic army, which was flanked everywhere, was quickly defeated in the face of Li Jiancheng's army assault. When Li Jiancheng came to Fan Xing, another rescue team from a distance also rushed here.

"Lord Fan!"

"Fan Xing!"

Li Wenhao arrived here only one step slower than Li Jiancheng.

After seeing the situation here, Li Wenhao fell silent.

Fan Xing was not a general who was good at force, but his side was already full of corpses, some of them were enemies, but most of them were his own.

At this time, there were less than two hundred people around Fan Xing, their eyes were red, and they looked at Li Jiancheng and Li Wenhao vigilantly.

"Brothers, it's me, Li Wenhao!"

Li Wenhao took off his helmet, and his tiger eyes were stained with crystal tears.

"Prince?"

"His Royal Highness?"

"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Fan Xing regained his senses, looked at Li Wenhao carefully, and shouted happily, and then spat out a mouthful of blood, "His Royal Highness, why did you come here, five thousand good sons, there are only so few people left now."

"How can I explain to the folks and elders in Youzhou!"

Fan Xing fell weakly into the arms of the soldiers and murmured.

"Don't worry, sons and daughters will not die in vain."

"Pass me the general's order, the whole army will follow me, and attack the large formation of Xieli's Chinese army."

Li Wenhao ordered Fan Xing and others to be sent out, and personally organized the army, preparing for a battle to force Jieli to submit.

"Khan, the prince of the Tang Dynasty personally led the charge."

"what?"

Jieli rode his horse and saw a black torrent charging towards him.

"Block, block them for me!"

Xieli said viciously, now he can only find a sense of presence in his tone.

Qibi Heli and Tuli Liangen seemed to have discussed it, and the troops did not move. Now that he is under heavy siege by the Tang Dynasty, the Valley of the Dead in front of him may really become the place of his death.

The dejected Xieli looked to the north, which was his home and his favorite grassland.

Already thinking in his heart, who will the grassland belong to in the future, is it Tuli, or Qibi Heli?

and many more!

Suddenly, Jieli swept away the depression on his face and laughed loudly.

"Tell the whole army, return to the camp, hang up the exemption card, wait for a letter from me, and send someone to deliver it to Li Shimin in person."

"Khan, this..."

"It's okay, let me send you."

Xieli said confidently that he just wanted to understand the trick.

Now that the war has reached this point, he wants to retreat, so why is Datang willing to fight?

It is undeniable that Datang can win, but at most it will be a miserable victory. To be honest, this is not worthwhile.

However, if Datang consumes part of his strength and puts him back on the grassland, then Tuli and Qibi Heli must find a way to seize power when they see the weakened Xieli.

At that time, the grassland will inevitably be in chaos, and its strength will be consumed rapidly, while Datang can use this precious time to recuperate, wait for work at leisure, and be the oriole.

This is a conspiracy, but he Jieli has to admit that even if he knows it is Datang's plan, he will follow Datang's will.

Because, he didn't want to throw himself in front of the Valley of the Dead.

Chapter 54

"Report! Jieli has retreated, and now Jieli's various armies are huddled in the camp, holding up the exemption card"

Li Jing, Li Ji, Zhang Liang, Chai Shao, Yu Chigong, Li Wenhao and others received the battle report immediately.

Looking at the battle report in his hand, Li Wenhao laughed, or everyone laughed.

Come to think of it, Xieli has already figured it out.

If Xieli doesn't want to die, he can only accept the ending that Datang arranged for him.

As for persuading people to surrender, don’t even think about surrendering. Those who are not of our race will have a different heart. Although this sentence is not absolute, it is definitely a wise saying when there is more than half of the army in Xieli’s hands.

If you lose power today, he may pretend to surrender, but you never know when he will bite you back.

It's better to be more straightforward, negotiate with the two sides and get what they need.

What Datang needs now is chaos in the grassland, not the surrender of the grassland with its hundreds of thousands of troops.

If you don't convince them, surrender or something is bullshit.

"Let's go back to Chang'an, Fan Xing, the Yanliao iron cavalry you brought back with me, I will reward you personally."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Although Li Wenhao said that he would give them rewards, these Yanliao iron cavalry were not very interested. After all, there were [-] of them when they came, and now there are less than [-] left. This battle loss ratio is really too great.

"Your Highness, I don't know if there is any reward, can you tell me here? I want the brothers who died in battle to hear it too."

Fan Xing dragged his injured body and knelt on the ground with support.

"it is good!"

"Don't you have such thoughts? If so, then I will set up a new battalion in this Palace, called the Non-retirement Battalion. It will be composed of [-] people from the [-] Yan and Liao troops. It will be the third battalion of my East Palace. Xing Commander"

"The wives and children of the brothers who died in battle will be supported by me, Datang. If you want to join the army, you will be given priority in the non-retirement battalion."

"The rest will be rewarded in order according to their combat achievements."

"Brother Fan Xingdai died in battle, Your Highness Xie"

After arranging the defense here, Li Wenhao and Li Jiancheng rushed to Chang'an with light packs.

"Don't retreat from the camp, don't retreat from a deadly battle, it's interesting!"

"I'm afraid that the princes of all dynasties are the only ones who dare to command troops so blatantly. In addition, if you don't retreat from the battalion now, if the third battalion of your East Palace is fully staffed, there will be [-] people, right?"

"Nineteen thousand people, don't worry uncle, my father is not so narrow-minded."
