Chapter 7 Northward Advancement

The black-robed general was stunned, and then understood what he was referring to, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, this khan, I did a very hidden job, and there is no evidence to die, no one knows my existence..."

Yi Nan nodded with confidence, then sighed again: "What a pity! It's rare to have this opportunity, and if you miss it, there will be no second time.

The black-robed general didn't say anything, but his expression was helpless. He shook his head and said, "Khan, what are the plans for the next one?"

Yi Nan said firmly: "Don't think too much, continue to attack the Turks, attack Jie Li, regardless of casualties, and do not care about the results. Killing them first and put robbery and other things at the end! Food, cattle, sheep, etc., as long as we have land, we will have them. Don't worry about these interests now, I will complete the task given to me by the Tang Dynasty to the greatest extent. He Lu is too bloodthirsty, so this task will be handed over to you."

Yi Nan patted the black-robed general on the shoulder, with a valor on his face.

The black-robed general said in a deep voice: "I understand!"

After receiving the order, the black-robed general lit up 20,000 Iron Knights again without saying a word, and rushed towards the Turks.

Although the number of 20,000 Iron Knights is not large, it is a rare elite. It fully utilizes the fighting style of the grassland nations and is also a familiar tactic of "the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy stands and we disturb us, the enemy is tired, and we fight, the enemy retreats and we chase", which brings mobility to the extreme.

The mobility of the Turkic cavalry is certainly not bad, but in the case of mutual communication, the fleeing party obviously takes the initiative.

Faced with Xue Yantuo's repeated invasions, the Turks made chaos this winter, and they seemed in panic all day long.

Jie Li was like a tiger falling into Pingyang, making Xue Yantuo forced one head and two big ones.

Finally, under Zhao Deyan's planning, the Turks launched a counter-encirclement when winter was about to end. They trapped 20,000 Iron Knights and launched a bloody battle.

Ten thousand Turkic soldiers surrounded and killed 20,000 Tiel Knights, and the Tiel people also showed their courage. At the cost of 10,000,500 warriors, they broke through the siege and fled to Xueyantuo's hinterland.

Jie Li suffered a small loss and did not dare to go deep into Xueyantuo and annihilate the enemy from all sides.

Xue Yantuo was a recently established army, with insufficient troops and continuous movements. He did not place plunder as the priority, which had already caused a huge military burden to the tribe. Now he lost 15,000 troops to strengthen the men, making the original bad situation more than 10,000. He was unable to fight again in the short term.

************

Chang'an Prince's Mansion!

The war is coming!

Li Shimin also shifted his focus to the north. The Turks and Xueyantuo were thousands of miles apart from Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, but their situation was like snowflakes, and it spread little by little to Li Shimin's case, making him, the prince of the Tang Dynasty and the supreme military commander of the Tang Dynasty, knowing the situation in the north.

The news of Xue Yantuo's defeat also reached him on this day...

Looking at the news of Xue Yantuo's miserable defeat, Li Shimin's fingers kept beating the table. Below him were his most trusted confidants: Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, and Hou Junji.

"This Yi Man, I really do whatever I can to win the support of my Tang Dynasty!" Li Shimin said with a smile.

Hou Junji said first: "If you are not a clan, your heart will be different. If you are like this, you will have something to ask for. The more he is like this, the less he can keep him."

Changsun Wuji's eyes swept past Hou Junji, revealing a hint of confusion.

Du Ruhui frowned slightly and said nothing.

Fang Xuanling smiled indifferently and said, "Hou Yuhou said it right. Yi Nan cursed me with such ambitions. But what I meant is worse than using it. Given the current situation of my Tang Dynasty, I really feel a little weak to destroy two tribes in one fell swoop."

Li Shimin gave Hou Junji a dissatisfied look. Fang Xuanling was the leader of his commander and the leader of all the advisers. Although there was no explicit regulation and came first and then arrived, in this case, Fang Xuanling should be the first and respected him basically. Hou Junji seemed eager to answer, which really meant to show his feelings.

Fang Xuanling was elegant and generous, and didn't care about these things, but as the leader, he had to care.

Hou Junji made Li Shimin glar, and he was shocked and did not dare to have anything unusual: but deep in his heart, he was extremely anxious.

He regarded Luo Shixin as his opponent, but Luo Shixin is now getting further and further away, and he is still standing still, anxiously in his heart, the idea of ​​rushing to show off. However, he didn't expect that Li Shimin would warn him as soon as he spoke, and he was extremely depressed.

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "My subordinates agree with Fang Zhongyun's opinion. Xue Yantuo lives in Mobei deeper than the Turks. Not to mention the past that the reason for fighting Xue Yantuo is not talked about. If they want to fight, the front line will be more than doubled. How can the economy support it?"

Du Ruhui said: "It is not worth the loss to attack Xue Yantuo, and it is crucial to expand the Western Regions."

Li Shimin thought of Luo Shixin's words that he had blocked the capital from being moved, and nodded silently and recognized the suggestions of the three of them. Although Hou Junji was talented, he was known for his military affairs. His political vision was far inferior to Fang Mou Duan and Changsun Fox.

"Then do you think that after watching the wall for a long time, is it because I, the Tang Dynasty, took action?" A hint of sharpness flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.

"Test!" Fang Xuanling, who had always been talking, only said one word loudly.

After him, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, and Hou Junji also expressed their opinions one after another, and they were all typing.

"It's really time!" Li Shimin made his final decision in the face of the four words "tick" from his confidant, and he was waiting for this day.

It has been more than two years since it seized the throne of prince.

For two years, he worked diligently, meticulously, and kept governing the Tang Dynasty...

He knew that his method of seizing the position of the prince was to frame his elder brother, and it was not glorious. So he wanted to prove himself even more, to prove that he was a good prince, a prince who was better than his elder brother.

For two years, the government and the opposition praised him as the new prince, but he was not satisfied... He knew that if his elder brother Li Jiancheng was still in this position, he would not do anything worse than him in political governance.

The only thing that can prove that he is stronger than Li Jiancheng is military merits. He proves himself with the achievements of destroying the Turks, a strong enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and proves that he is more suitable to become the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty than Li Jiancheng.

Li Shimin found Li Yuan with the latest information.

The next day!

Li Yuan rarely went to court on the fifteenth day of the lunar month. He proposed Li Shimin's suggestion to conquer the Turks in the court and discussed it publicly.

After some discussion, Li Yuan finally appointed Li Jing, the Duke of Dai, as the chief marching commander of Heng'an Road, with Yuchi Jingde and Xue Wanche as the deputy, leading the central army; Duke of British Xu Shijie was the chief marching commander of Tongmo Road, Zhang Gongjin and Gao Zengsheng as the deputy, and led the main force directly to attack the hinterland of the Eastern Turks from the East Road; Luo Shixin, the general of the governor of Xiazhou, was the chief marching commander of Datong Road, and Xue Wanjun as the deputy.

Three armies, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, were all subject to the Jiedu of Li Jing and advanced northward. (To be continued, please search for Piao Tianwen, the novel is better and faster!
