The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 492 King Wu’s Chances of Victory

Regarding the matter of King Wu leading the army, Li Xiang did not react so fiercely this time. Li Xiang also did not want to worry about the Tang Dynasty hanging on him alone. If something happened to him, the entire Han nation might be in trouble. So having two generals is also a good thing.

The reason why he fought with King Wu last time was because when it came time to fight, if Li Xiang didn't come forward, what would the people following him think? They would feel that they were following a useless person, especially a general in the army, so Li Xiang had to fight.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see this time that Li Shimin was caught off guard. What's more, Li Xiang had just won the victory in the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, so he had to give some credit to others.

Moreover, the officials of the imperial court can also calculate that the land in Goguryeo is not fertile, but at least it can bring profits to the imperial court. If Xue Yantuo is captured, the land there will be even worse. What can it bring to the imperial court? ?

The Tang Dynasty still doesn't know how to manage the grasslands. Even in places like Tuyuhun, they are still trying to cross the river by feeling the stones, and they dare not say that they have managed them all.

Then again, Xue Yantuo's area reaches directly to Mobei, which is much larger than Tuguhun. Back then, Huo Qubing chased him for two thousand miles and did not reach the northernmost point. If King Wu had a happy fight here, he doesn't know. How much does it cost Datang.

The other one is Li Xiang who also wants to test it out. They say that this third uncle can fight, be good at literature and martial arts, and is the best among the princes of the Tang Dynasty, but he has never practiced it. Li Xiang also wants to see how powerful my king is. ability.

After waiting for ten days, the imperial mail was finally delivered. Everyone focused on Li Xiang's tent to see what news the imperial court had sent.

"This guy is really bold. His army has entered the Dong Turks. The Dong Turks' army has been greatly weakened by us in the past two years. During the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, more than 4,000 people accompanied the army, so it is basically The cavalry that could not stop Xue Yantuo is now completely defeated, especially this Jichang Khan, who actually led his men to Chang'an."

Li Xiang threw out the letter in his hand, feeling extremely angry in his heart. The king of a country actually ran faster than the people, leaving all his people behind at the critical moment. Such a person is not worthy of being a Turkic Khan.

"I have met this man before. It can be said that he is as timid as a mouse. The reason why our court promoted him to the position is not without reason. If there is really an ambitious one, he is looking at the north gate for us. What? Or will it keep us awake every day?"

Su Dingfang told the truth, the Tang Dynasty court had to find this kind of person, if they had no courage, but he didn't expect that this guy was not responsible at all. When he heard that Xue Yantuo's army was coming, he took his 20,000 cavalry and went there. The Great Wall is coming.

When they reached the checkpoint, the Tang army refused to let them in. This guy actually abandoned the remaining 20,000 cavalry and let them fend for themselves on the grassland. He took his whole family into the Great Wall and ran all the way. He left for Chang'an City. As for the life and death of the remaining people, he seemed to have no concept in his mind.

"This is a rather difficult thing. It won't work if the people of the country are too strong, and it won't work if they are too weak."

Niu Jinda didn't know much about politics, but he also knew that this matter was difficult to grasp. Li Xiang didn't blame Li Shimin for this matter. Even in that position, he couldn't see through all people's hearts. The most interesting thing these days is What is impenetrable is the human heart.

"Our people..."

"Our people are ready. Including the artillery team, I have streamlined it a little. There are about 14,000 people in total. No matter how many troops the enemy has, we can rush over at night and starry, and we can ensure combat effectiveness."

Su Dingfang did not wait for Li Xiang to finish asking and immediately reported the situation of his men. This guy selected some elite troops from all over the army to form a rapid reaction force. Li Xiang was also speechless. It was not that this guy The work was not reliable, but what Li Xiang did became useless. In the past, Li Xiang dispersed the soldiers he redeemed from the system and distributed them throughout the army. Who knew that these people were all given to Su Dingfang? Find out who makes these people perform well in normal times.

Of course, Su Dingfang did not show these people out on purpose. To form a rapid reaction force, it must be the elite of the entire army. Su Dingfang still has a very strong eye for soldiers. Otherwise, he would not be able to fight like that. After winning many battles, Li Xiang really didn't know what to say after learning what this guy had done.

"In the past few days, you will take them to do some long-distance training. If nothing happens to the north, treat it as a drill for us. If something happens, we must travel long distances and rush over. We must not let Xue Yantuo's people go south. The current situation is the best for us and no one can break it."

Li Xiang slapped his hand on the table, and the rest of the people nodded. At present, the clans in the Tang Dynasty are very weak. The whole country is developing normally, and the surrounding tribes are not our opponents. Once we let go If Xue Yantuo goes south, this good situation is likely to be broken. If you want to make it like this, you don't know how much manpower and material resources will be wasted, so you have to do this even if you want to help King Wu Li Xiang.

Another seven days later, news came from the front line again. His Highness King Wu had organized 50,000 frontier troops, plus troops brought from Chang'an City to rush forward.

"In your opinion, what are the chances of King Wu winning?"

Li Xiang didn't know much about Xue Yantuo. Su Dingfang had led troops there before. Although he had not fought against each other, he knew a general combat effectiveness. Whenever there was news from the court, these people gathered in Li Xiang's tent for the purpose of It can be practiced in time and respond to changes on the frontline battlefield at any time.

"Tens of thousands of border troops from the Tang Dynasty have been guarding the border. Their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. On the contrary, I am worried about the troops coming from the imperial court. If they are arrogant, there may be gaps in this battle. But if they and the troops we brought out Same, then Xue Yantuo has no chance of winning."

The border troops of the Tang Dynasty have always been elite, even more elite than the imperial army in the capital. There has never been a big war or a small war. As long as King Wu's brain is not filled with water and Chang'an's army does not stumble, victory will be within easy reach... …
