Chapter 205 The Xuanjia Army is all out, and the battle is restarted
In the palace, Li Er looked at the map in front of him and pondered, "This location is a place of nonchalantism. It is precisely because of this that it is ignored by the grassland barbarians!
It doesn’t matter if you go alone, but if you want to bring in a large army, it is impossible. The only way to go on this trip is to first pass through the southwest border of the Eastern Turks, then enter the Western Turks, and go straight to the horse tribe in the northeast of the Western Turks!
No matter where the army goes, it will be discovered!
Besides, this group of horses is on the border of the Western Turks, which is logically the property of the Western Turks. Once they are known, which country will let go of thousands of peerless BMWs?"
Bai Fan nodded and said, "That's right, the horses are located 1,500 miles from the border of the Tang Dynasty, so it will take at least ten days for us to bring them from the north back to the Tang Dynasty!
It is not possible to send a large army, so I came to borrow troops and wanted to start with the entire Xuanjia army, and hide the traces lightly and simply along the way, so the risk would be much smaller!"
Li Er pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I will leave all the Xuanjia Army to you, Zhang Shigui and Zhai Changsun will go with you, the third brother is still in Liangzhou, and you will take you there too, plus you, a full five generals!
There are still three thousand mysterious armors, and they dare to fight against tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the grassland!
The peerless treasure of thousands of BMWs is related to the fate of the Tang Dynasty, so it is absolutely impossible to lose. Even if you launch a national war for this, you will be willing to do so!
I will send Maogong and Chai Shao to suppress the Eastern Turks in Youzhou and Yunzhou, so that Jie Li will be wary of the east road and have no time to look west. If he dares to send troops to attack you at that time, then Dingxiang will definitely be empty, and we may be able to get rid of his old nest!
On the Western Turks, our two countries are now in a friendly trade. I will send Maoyou (Tang Jian’s name) to go on an envoy to discuss wool business and increase cooperation, and to restrain the Western Turkic regime Yehu Khan!
If the Western Turks discovered your actions, Humph, Tang Jian was the one who negotiated on behalf of the Tang Dynasty. No one except us knew that this was a group of sweat-blooded horses. I went to the grassland to catch a horse herd. If the Western Turks did not agree, we immediately cut off his wool transaction!"
Bai Fan applauded and praised, "Your Majesty has a good idea! In this way, there are 80% chances to complete the task smoothly. There are eagles in the sky to investigate, so it is easy to avoid grassland herders and Turkic scout soldiers and horses. They can travel fast and go from Liangzhou and come back in twenty days!"
Recruiting Zhang Shigui and Zhai Changsun, the eunuch Lao Gao gave him a few glasses of strong wine. Everyone raised their glasses, and Li Er said loudly, "Fight quickly! I am waiting for you to return triumphantly in Chang'an!"
"The power of the Tang Dynasty, surrender to all the world!"
More than ten days later, in Liangzhou City, Li Xiaogong and Li Yuanji personally went out of the city to welcome the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry into the city!
In the General's Mansion's war room, everyone began to discuss combat plans!
Tang Jian took the lead in speaking, "It's important. Tang wants to go on a mission to the Western Turks first and buy time for you as soon as possible! When I arrive at the Western Turkic royal court, you should be much safer to enter the Turkic border!"
Everyone nodded and expressed their approval! Tang Jian went through wars and was one of the twenty-four people in Lingyan Pavilion and was also familiar with military affairs, so he had a very experienced opinion at this time!
Bai Fan pondered, "This will bring you old Tang!"
Zhai Changsun teased and said, "I will send Li Junxian to protect you. What if the Western Turkic barbarians suddenly take you? Should we exchange BMW for you?"
The few of them were old acquaintances, so they had a harmonious conversation with each other. Tang Jian did not expect that Zhai Changsun was still joking at this time! He quickly refused, "No, no, Tang is the envoy on the mission. The two countries are fighting and not being killed. You are short of manpower, so General Li should not leave it lightly!"
At this time, Li Xiaogong spoke, "No, my family thinks that it is not only Li Junxian to go to guard it. This time, Lord Tang is on an envoy to the Western Turks, so it is more appropriate for General Zhai to go to guard it!"
Everyone was stunned. Zhai Changsun pointed at Li Xiaogong and shouted, "King Hejian, are you not wrong? Let my Xuanjia Army escort Lao Tang? Is he qualified?"
Li Xiaogong shook his head and said, "No, no, I mean I asked you to dress up as a guard, of course it is not really an escort! The Xuanjia Army team went north to the Turks, which requires concealment. Mao's appointment is a good excuse!"
Li Yuanji smiled and said, "Good idea, Xiaogong's cousin is worthy of being a famous general in the Tang Dynasty!"
Bai Fan took out a booklet and handed it over, "Old Tang, this time I went to my place to have some business, you need your help to discuss with the Western Turks. This is the transaction manual I wrote. I have discussed it with His Majesty. You have to worry!"
Everyone smiled and said, "You white God of Wealth is really not a false reputation. You are so blatant in public and private affairs? No wonder you can make a fortune!"
"Where are some small businesses!" Bai Fan smiled awkwardly!
Tang Jian said loudly, "In this way, I will set up a show. The three thousand people's mission guards are the first time in my life, great kindness!"
"Be careful when you go back, Lao Wei will participate in your book," Zhai Changsun said with a smile!
"Then I will dispatch troops in Liangzhou. Twenty days later, the soldiers will be sent to you on the border!" Li Xiaogong said!
Everyone shouted, "Tang Dynasty for thousands of years!"
In Youzhou City, Chai Shao looked at the letter written by His Majesty Li Er in his hand and was shocked. It was such a big deal, thousands of BMWs? If he could take it, it would be worth it even if he lost tens of thousands of troops for this, let alone just the soldiers who suppressed the Turks on the border!
After receiving the news, Li Ji of Bingzhou had already started to mobilize his troops and sent several groups of troops to spread rumors that the Tang Dynasty was going to attack the Eastern Turks, preparing to avenge the former shame and seek revenge on Jie Li. At the same time, Niu Jinda was sent to Dingxiang City to take his troops and fight several small-scale harassing battles. Otherwise, the Chen soldiers alone would easily arouse Jie Li's suspicion!
In Dingxiang City, Jie Li did not hear the news from his subordinates for a while and asked, "What did you say? Someone from the Tang Dynasty came to call for war? Where is this? This is Dingxiang. We don't know when a large army came to the Tang Dynasty? What are you cooking?"
Looking at the furious Khan, a group of generals below looked at each other speechlessly, and the person who reported the news said that he was embarrassed, "Khan, the enemy general claimed to have killed Niu Jinda, the Tang Dynasty who had lost his mind. He only brought three thousand people from Yunzhou, not to call war under the city, but to call war in front of the 20,000 defenders south of Dingxiang!
I didn't know the depth of the enemy's situation and didn't dare to fight at will, for fear of being ambushed, so I came to ask for instructions!"
At this time, another person said, "Khan, the south has reported secretly that the Tang Dynasty is in Yunzhou and Youzhou, preparing to attack our Great Turks to take revenge. It seems that this matter is true!"
Jie Li understood that this was the Tang Dynasty going to take action, and Niu Jinda sent out was the pioneer general!
Just as Jie Li was thinking about countermeasures, he rode a fast horse and reported that Chai Shao from Youzhou sent troops and rushed straight to the western Turkic forces!
At this time, Jie Li panicked and cursed, "Li Shimin! The revenge you killed the national teacher last year has not been avenged, so you dare to come and provoke again, do you think I am a Turkic person?
After passing the order, the tribes immediately mobilized their troops and sent 100,000 troops to face the enemy!
This time, we must keep the invading Tang army on the grassland!”
