Chapter 44: Insidious Warrior Girl
Li Longji was so happy.
Even though he was not good at military tactics and military affairs, he knew the characteristics of the Turks and thought that repelling the Turks was already a good result.
However, Pei Min directly wiped out 100,000 Turkic soldiers, captured their Khan alive, and killed the second Turkic figure.
This is really unexpected.
He even said, "The world's number one general must be Jingyuan!"
"It is really worth the joy of Duke Pei's triumphant success. Li Shi went to the Liyuan and summoned Li Guinian to the palace. I want to celebrate and invite Concubine Wu to come."
Li Longji is particularly fond of Wu Jieyu, who is charming and knows how to please.
The same is true in history. Concubine Wu can be regarded as Li Longji's first concubine whom he favored for 20 years.
If it weren't for the daughter of Wu Jie, the Empress of the Tang Dynasty would be him.
For the sake of Wu Jieyu, Li Longji specially created a position of Concubine Hui for her, which was only under the queen, but also above the four Concubines Gui, Shu, De and Xian, to show their speciality.
Even Yang Yuhuan, who looked back and smiled charmingly, did not reach this level.
It was precisely because of the death of Wu Jieyu that Li Longji had been in grief and even slacked off in the government. Therefore, in order to make Li Longji happy, all civil and military officials arranged for Li Longji to find beautiful women.
Because of this, Yang Yuhuan entered Li Longji's life under the planning of Li Linfu and Gao Lishi...
Later generations also have a saying that Yang Yuhuan has always been a substitute for Concubine Wu Hui.
Compared to the level of favor the two have received, this statement is not unreasonable.
After getting happy, Li Longji immediately thought of Concubine Wu and planned to invite her to share this joy with him.
After waiting for a while, Li Longji waited for the news that Wu Jieyu was sick.
Li Longji rushed to Wu Jieyu's bedroom in panic. Seeing Wu Jieyu lying sickly on the bed, her face pale, no blood, and a weak look.
Seeing Li Longji's arrival, Wu Jieyu struggled and tried hard to get up.
Li Longji hurried forward to comfort him with distress: "If you are sick, just lie down and rest..." As he said that, he looked at the imperial physician who had arrived and asked, "What's the situation of Jieyu?"
The imperial physician stammered and asked for a while, after a while, he said: "Empress, the pulse is peaceful and there is nothing unusual... I am not good at learning and I really don't know what the cause is."
Li Longji is about to be angry.
Concubine Wu said timidly: "Your Majesty, don't blame the Imperial Doctor. I am a mental illness and there is no cure!"
"What a heart disease!" Li Longji looked at Concubine Wu in shock...
Wu Jieyu looked frightened and even covered her bedding on her head and shivered in the quilt.
Li Longji asked the imperial physician and a group of maids to sit down on the edge of the bed to comfort and comfort him patiently, with the tone in his eyes full of tenderness.
"Today, I will pay my respects to the Empress... In the Empress's palace, I saw a spirit card with His Majesty's name and his birthday..."
Li Longji's face turned pale in an instant and he stood up suddenly.
Concubine Wu said with a trembling trembling: "I really don't know if I should say it, but I am really worried about Your Majesty's safety..."
Without saying a word, Li Longji left the palace directly, with a blue face, and headed straight to Queen Wang's bedroom.
Baiting Desert!
Chengzong reluctantly sent Pei Min to the border between Liangzhou and the grassland in the Tang Dynasty.
Yiru reluctantly followed Pei Min to bid farewell.
After nearly half a month of getting along, Pei Min has a very high status in the eyes of the Uighur tribe leader and is extremely respectful to him.
On the one hand, it is naturally because of whether the Uighurs can get the support of the Tang Dynasty and establishing the Khan Court on the grasslands of northern Mobei, Pei Min's tripod is of great importance.
On the other hand, the ability that Pei Min showed shocked and admired the Uighur Khan after getting along these days.
The Uighurs now have no courage to be hostile to the Tang Dynasty. They just want to hold the Tang Dynasty's thighs with peace of mind and sit firmly on the Uighur Khan's seat.
For Chengzong's friendliness, Pei Min naturally reciprocates and lives in harmony with him.
Compared with the slow development of Ma Zheng, direct transaction with the Uighurs is the fastest way to make up for the shortcomings of war horses.
In the next few years, the Uighurs will inevitably carry out the great cause of unifying the grasslands.
They needed a large amount of weapons and food support, and the Tang Dynasty could exchange these materials for war horses, cattle and sheep to enhance their own strength and improve the lives of the people.
He remembered that in history, the Uighurs forced the Tang Dynasty to buy their inferior horses. Now that the situation changes, the situation naturally changes.
The Tang Dynasty would not trade its best weapons. Those weapons that were replaced by the army were as easy to use as they were repaired.
Even if it is a second-class weapon, Pei Min believes that the smelting technology of the grassland north is far inferior to that, which is enough to satisfy the other party.
Compared to annihilation of the Turks, the real strategic significance of this battle is still reaching a consensus with the Uighurs.
Back to Baiting River, from a distance, war horses were everywhere.
Feng Changqing had already brought the 50,000 horses they hid in the desert oasis here, plus the 110,000 troops and horses seized by the Turks, and the oasis beaches of the Baiting River were densely filled with horse shadows.
Sixty-sixty-seventy-seventy-seventy-seventy-seven thousand war horses are spread all over the river beach.
The scene was really spectacular, which made the Tang people who rarely saw so many horses gathered in amazement one by one.
Zhehuchen, who is best at riding, couldn't help but mutter, "My God, I have never seen so many horses in my life."
Pei Min pointed to the river beach in Baitinghai and said, "What's this? In recent years, we have regained the horse farming land in Jiuqu, Hexi, and have been close to the Uighurs. I believe that our military and horse resources will be satisfied in no time. At that time, one cavalry will rotate two people, and one infantry will also have one transportation to improve the marching rate. Therefore, the future military indicators and riding skills are the most basic. We cannot delay the army's ranks because of a few people. When you go back, you will also urge the army to master the skill of riding."
Of course he said to the generals of Hexi. Under his leadership, the Longyou Army has been a soldier who can be galloping on horseback.
If it weren't for this, Pei Min's tactics of surprise attack on Bai Tinghai this time would lack operational space.
Zhao Yizhen and Zhehuchen also knew that they were talking to them, and they responded even more readily.
"Have you met Shuai Pei!"
Feng Changqing learned that they had returned in triumph and led the crowd to greet them.
"Haha!" Pei Min laughed and dismounted and helped Feng Changqing up, saying, "Changqing doesn't need to be polite. In this battle, you have fought with 20,000 soldiers, rushing thousands of miles, seizing the horse and defending it, and cutting off the Turkic feet. There is no doubt that you will be successful in the position!"
Feng Changqing said ashamedly: "How could Pei Shuai enter the tiger's den alone and angrily break into the Uighur's tent. With the strength of a man, he used his sword in his hand to force the Uighur tribe leader and four tribe leaders to kill Turkic envoys and rebels, and he was brave and heroic, and he could not do it even if he was a hero."
Pei Min patted Feng Changqing on the shoulder and said, "Come to our military tent tonight, I have something to tell you!"
Feng Changqing nodded.
The group entered Baiting Camp.
