Chapter 17 Night Attack
Li Zhi asked Xue Yimang to have a meal together, and Li Yuanai was accompanying him.
Li Zhi is gentle on the surface and is cold on the inside, and does not like to talk.
Li Yuanai had to find a topic to chat with Xue Yimang.
Li Yuanai is not very eloquent, but has a good reputation in his understanding of the past and present. He has a brief understanding of China's thousand-year history.
Xue Yimang was obsessed with Chinese culture and could amazed him by just talking about a few heroes.
Li Yuanai was also very satisfied. A Xue Yantuo person was so obsessed with Chinese culture. As a Chinese, he was proud of him.
After seeing Xue Yimang away, Li Zhi asked Li Yuanai to take good care of Xue Yimang along the way.
Li Yuanai smiled and said, "I will take good care of such a kind friend from another country."
He didn't ask Li Zhi about his intentions curiously.
However, Li Zhi obviously did not intend to hide it from him, saying, "The power of Zhishi Si sentiment came from news that Xue Yantuo Khan Yi Nan was already in the wind and his life was not long. He had been cultivating his legitimate son Ba Zhuo as Khan, but Ba Zhuo was cruel and violent, and was extremely hostile to our dynasty. At this time, Yi Nan had the intention of changing and releasing the truth."
Li Yuanai laughed silently and said, "Isn't this a fuss? Do you really think that Xue Yantuo is the same as us?"
The princes of their Chinese dynasty generally only have more than a thousand guards, while Xue Yantuo's young master controls several tribes.
This temporary emergency replacement, let alone Yimang suddenly lost his life and was unable to protect himself, he was really impatient, a Khan on the sickbed, and he could not protect himself.
"No wonder..."
Li Yuanai said: "No wonder Xue Yimang was too enthusiastic. It turned out that he took the opportunity to escape. I thought he really admired our dynasty culture..."
Li Zhi said: "This is not true. I have already gotten his situation here. So this time, he can come in handy if he protects him this time."
Li Yuanai understood.
Xue Yantuo's fate was almost destined. Yi Nan thought he could bend and stretched, but he was so ill that he was destined to be unable to fight his son.
Xue Yantuo should also leave, but you can’t kill all the nomadic peoples.
They really want to run away, you can't catch up.
It is better to leave a leader who is pro-Tang, straighten the remains, hold them in his hands, and feel the emperor's kindness to show his assimilation.
Just like foreign generals such as Qibirheli, Ashinasheer, and Zhishili, they led their own tribe members into the Tang Dynasty and became part of the Tang Dynasty.
Their contributions are no less than ordinary generals.
Li Zhi is worthy of being taught by Li Shimin. He treats foreign tribes the same methods as his own. He uses it to kill him and pretends to be polite, and absorbs the remaining defeated soldiers.
The destruction of other people's clans also makes people work gratefully for it.
Use the darkness in the emperor's mind to the extreme.
Li Yuanai was happy to see this and stopped talking.
Xue Yimang brought two thousand Wuzhumuqin horses far beyond Li Yuanai's expectations, and he was more confident about his food delivery this time.
While waiting for the grain transport in Luoyang Warehouse to arrive, Li Yuanai arranged for a walk to Ji to send the wind wheelbarrow to Liaodong.
When the food was transported, Li Yuanai still asked the soldiers to load the rice and grain on the grain truck they used before.
Because the wheels of wind-powered unicycles are not suitable for transporting grain for thousands of miles, the single-axle wheel has endured too much weight and has been traveling for a long distance and is easily broken. What really plays its role is the mountain road, which is hundreds of miles from Anshicheng to Yaluzha. Ordinary grain trucks cannot walk on the mountain road, but the wheelbarrow can be as if walking on flat ground.
October 30th.
Because the canal is unobstructed, the grain is delivered to Jicheng one day ahead of schedule.
Li Yuanai made a quick decision and decided to set off one day in advance.
Six thousand servants and two thousand soldiers escorted along the way were on standby.
Li Zhi wore a long-distance travel crown, a red dress and a white skirt, a leather belt and a gold hook. He dressed in a gorgeous outfit to see Li Yuanai off. At the same time, he also introduced Li Yuanai to the guard commander Zhe Chong Duwei Zhang Baoxiang.
"This is Zhang Duwei, who is calm and brave. In the past, he was attacked by the British Duke and was captured by the governor alive. Gu Zhi went east this time and had a very heavy task. He specially transferred Zhang Duwei to assist you."
Li Yuanai's eyes lit up. He was able to capture Jie Li alive, and his ability and luck were indispensable. With his help on the way, he would definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort. He smiled and said, "I'll ask the commander to go along the way."
Zhang Bao met forty years old, with a square and rigorous look on his face, and hugged Li Yuanai with fists.
Li Zhi seemed a little dissatisfied and said, "Here we go all the way, we will be led by the King of Shang, and follow his orders along the way."
Zhang Baoxiang said in a deep voice: "The last general will receive the order."
Li Yuanai felt Zhang Baoxiang's distrust, and smiled indifferently, saying, "I am not good at marching and setting up formations and responding to the enemy. I should put Governor Zhang first."
Changing generals at the last stage is not conducive to the action. He shows weakness first. Zhang Baoxiang really wants to get more and more aggressive, so let him score three points. When the task is completed, he will settle the score in the fall.
In any case, delivering food first is the top priority.
Xue Yimang was wearing armor and standing beside Li Yuanai, looking majestic.
"Set off!"
Under the order of Li Yuanai, the grain transport army slowly advanced to the northeast.
The road from Jicheng to Liaodong was not easy to walk, but with the launch of the army, the Pioneer Army had already made some renovations along the way, and with the rectification of the grain transport teams back and forth, a relatively spacious road leads to Liaoshui.
Li Yuanai respects Zhang Baoxiang very much. He can stop and rest. He can ask for his opinions first, and put his opinions first.
At dusk that day, Zhang Baoxiang said, "King Shang, let's camp here."
"good!"
Li Yuanai saw that it was still early, but since Zhang Baoxiang had said that, he did not question it, but agreed.
That night, Li Yuanai shrank into the bedding and slept.
Suddenly, he was awakened by the rapid sound of the golden gong.
There were actually a burst of shouting sounds coming from the surrounding area.
