The generals left one by one with solemn expressions and returned to their camps to deploy their troops and horses.
Li Jing stood outside the account, looking at the sunset in the distance, frowning and sighing deeply.
Next to Li Jing, a lieutenant asked in a low voice: "General, do you really want to force a decisive battle with the Turks?"
"The Emperor has made it very clear that we can no longer retreat. Since the beginning of the war, we have been repeatedly defeated and have retreated hundreds of miles. The Emperor has done his utmost in benevolence by not punishing me."
"But we didn't lose much in the defeat along the way. The army hasn't moved at all, and it still has the strength to fight. Others may not know it, but the general is very clear about the general's plan. The general wants to lure the enemy deep and stretch the Turks.
The army's supply line. We have seen the critical moment. In a short time, the supplies of the Turkic army will not be able to sustain it. When the Turkic army retreats, we must gather all our forces to pursue it and defeat the Turkic army in one fell swoop. How can such a good opportunity be enough?
Can you give up at this critical juncture?"
"Retreat again and again, the emperor can't wait any longer."
"The general can report it. The emperor will definitely understand the general's difficulties."
Li Jing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Even if the emperor can understand, the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government will not let it go. This imperial edict is the time the Emperor has bought for us despite the pressure of the DPRK and the Central Government. If there is no achievement within one month, I am afraid that
The government and the public were shocked. I was dismissed from my post because I was afraid that the general who took over would not know how to deal with the Turks and would give away the 120,000 we had worked so hard to save. At that time, the country of Datang was really going to be in disaster.
Already."
"Those ministers don't understand the dangers of fighting with the Turks at all. They only know how to stumble the general behind his back!"
Li Jing shook his head, looked at the sky, suddenly thought of his granddaughter, and asked, "Where are Shu Wang and her guards? I saw them coming."
"General, it's getting late, how about..."
"Go now."
As soon as he finished speaking, two soldiers came over from the camp and joked with each other. They were very happy: "Have you heard? The young lady and that doctor Bai have made a private marriage on the grassland for the rest of their lives."
"I heard! This is a great joy. The young lady finally has the person she likes. The fact that Doctor Bai went deep into the grassland for the young lady shows that he is a man who values love and justice. These two people are destined to be together."
"Wait!" Li Jing stepped forward to stop the two of them.
When the two soldiers saw that it was the general, they were startled and quickly bowed and saluted: "See you, general."
"What were you talking about just now?"
"this……"
"explain!"
"General, please calm down. We just heard someone in the camp spreading the news that Miss... and Doctor Bai have made a private engagement in the grassland for life..."
"Nonsense! Here's the order, anyone who dares to spread rumors in the military camp will be dealt with according to the military law!"
"Yes, yes! The villain will never dare to do that again."
The two soldiers were so frightened that they quickly fled the scene.
Li Jing's face was ashen, he turned back to look at the deputy general, and whispered: "Give me that Bai Song!"
A quarter of an hour later, Bai Song was taken into the military tent.
Li Jing was pacing back and forth in the camp, his face was pale and pale, and he was very ugly.
"See the general." Bai Song bowed.
Li Jing didn't speak, he just stopped silently and looked at the table thoughtfully, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, Li Jing asked: "Do you know why I, the general, summoned you alone in advance?"
"I don't know."
Li Jing slowly turned around and stared at Bai Song: "There was a rumor in the army that you and Shu Wang had made a lifelong commitment in the grassland. I wonder if this is the case?"
Bai Song frowned: "No."
Li Jing's brows relaxed after hearing this, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer remained indifferent, and finally smiled at Bai Song: "That's good, come on, come on, Doctor Bai, please take a seat. The generals and officers in the army know that you are willing to sacrifice your life for Shu Wang."
Forgetting life and death, pursuing for thousands of miles, it is inevitable that there will be some misunderstandings and rumors. This general still believes in Doctor Bai's character. Doctor Bai is also a smart man and knows that Shu Wang's status is extraordinary and that he has a prince and grandson to match him.
"
Bai Song listened, but did not sit down as Li Jing said.
Li Jing saw Bai Song motionless and asked, "Doctor Bai, what are you..."
Bai Song solemnly said: "Although Shu Wang and I have not decided for the rest of our lives, I really like you. You are Shu Wang's elder, and I don't want to hide anything from Shu Wang's elder. I, Bai Song, will definitely marry Shu Wang in this life."
wife."
As Bai Song's voice fell, Li Jing's face became gloomy at a speed visible to the naked eye. The smile on his face had stiffened. He withdrew his invitation gesture and sat on his handsome seat without saying a word.
.
"Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Of course I know."
"Boy, don't think that just because you saved my general and Shu Wang, you can have more evil thoughts! How can I, a descendant of Li Jing, marry into a poor family?! Don't ask Shu Wang to marry you, even if you want to marry Li
I don’t even have the qualifications!”
"General, I only ask Shu Wang about this matter. As long as she is willing, I am determined to marry her. If the general insists on blocking her, it will only hurt Shu Wang's respect for you."
"How brave! Someone, drag this guy out and beat him!"
Two people rushed in from outside and grabbed Bai Song directly.
"Fight? Then use more force, so that everyone can see how their general treats his heroes."
"Boy, your little achievements are nothing in front of this general! Drag him out and beat him!"
"General!" the deputy general who came in said anxiously, "This is inappropriate. The morale of the army is still unstable now. If you let the soldiers know that you have defeated the hero, it will hurt the morale of the army even more. We are about to have a decisive battle with the Turks.
This can’t be the case!”
Li Jing slapped the table and stood up, saying angrily: "You are so outrageous that even you will do it..."
Before he finished speaking, Shu Wang came in and looked at the scene in front of him, a little stunned: "You... what are you doing?"
Bai Song looked calmly and looked at Li Jing in the tent.
Li Jing relaxed his brows and winked at several soldiers.
The two released Bai Song and left silently.
Li Shuwang seemed to realize something. He walked to Bai Song and looked at Bai Song carefully: "Are you okay?"
Bai Song smiled: "It's okay. I was just joking with the general. The general was also joking with me."
Li Jing forced out a smile, nodded, waved and said, "Everyone from outside can come in too."
He Fangzhao, Zhang Shuyuan and others came in one after another, they are all brothers in this way.
Only then did Li Jing formally receive a few people, and these people just reported to the general the news they had discovered along the way.
Several people sat down in the camp, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.
They were all generals under Li Jing. He Fangzhao and the others were more reserved and did not speak.
Li Shuwang sat across from Bai Song. Seeing Bai Song frowning, he felt anxious, as if he had guessed something.
But this was not the time to ask in detail. Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Shuwang decided to break the dullness himself.
"Bring the people here!"
Someone was brought in from outside and was pressed in front of the tent.
This person is Balu who was brought back all the way.
"Grandpa, this is the Turk we captured."
Then, Li Shuwang told his grandfather how this man colluded with the Jieli tribe to deal with the Aji tribe, and he also learned about the situation in the Turkic rear from this man.
Li Jing was very satisfied after hearing this, and the stiffness on his face finally eased.
"Shu Wang, you did a good job! Judging from this news, our strategy has finally worked. I believe it won't be long before the Turks' rear will be the first to become unrest without our own actions."
"This is all Bai Song's credit." Li Shuwang pointed at Bai Song with a smile.
Li Jing didn't respond, just kept smiling.
"Also! There is a letter here, which records in detail the evidence of the Zheng family in Youzhou colluding with Jieli Khan. This person is also willing to testify against the Zheng family."
Li Jing took the letter, frowned slightly, looked at the Turkic characters on it, and handed the letter to the deputy general.
The deputy general looked at it with a look of horror on his face: "General, this is really irrefutable proof! I didn't expect that the Zheng family in Youzhou would be so bold?!"
"I understand. I will report this matter to the court later."
The scene fell into silence.
After a while, Li Jing yawned: "If there is nothing else, let's leave."
"Grandpa, Bai Song has something important to report." Shu Wang was a little anxious, thinking to himself, why didn't Bai Song tell him his plan? What on earth is this guy thinking?
"Oh? What else do you have to do?" Li Jing finally turned his attention to Bai Song.
Bai Song had just lost his mind, but now he turned around, thought for a while, stood up and said, "I have a plan to defeat the Turks."
"Boy, this is a military camp. You need to be careful with everything you say." The deputy general reminded, "How dare a little doctor dare to talk about military aircraft in vain?"
"Grandpa, Bai Song is not an ordinary doctor, he is very capable."
Li Jing frowned even more tightly and waved his hand: "Can you tell me how to defeat the enemy?"
Bai Song replied: "From now on, please ask the general to personally lead three thousand elite troops to attack Dingxiang on the mountain road. The Dingxiang Road can be broken in one fell swoop. Once the Dingxiang Road is broken..."
"Presumptuous!" Li Jing shouted angrily, interrupting Bai Song directly, and the table was smashed to pieces.
Everyone was startled and stood up one after another.
Li Jing pointed at Bai Song: "Huangkou boy, this is simply fantastic! How can a mere 3,000 men attack this Dingxiang Fortress? And if we go deep behind enemy lines alone, do you want me, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, to die?! Come here, take this man.
…”
"Grandpa, calm down!" Li Shuwang walked out quickly and knelt in front of Bai Song, "If Bai Song was not absolutely sure, he would not risk his life to make any suggestion. He..."
Before Li Shuwang finished speaking, Bai Song pulled her up again and pulled her behind him: "Why kneel down? Leave it to me."
"General, it is related to the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty. Please put aside your personal grudges. I do not belong to the army, and this matter has nothing to do with me. This plan is only to end the war as soon as possible so that the people will not suffer anymore. This is
Although Fa was involved in danger, the general should also know the principle of seeking wealth and wealth in danger. Precisely because everyone knew that Dingxiang was important and he was located behind enemy lines, the enemy must have expected that the general would not be bold enough to attack Dingxiang directly.
In order to maintain the frontline advantage, the Turkic army has mobilized all its forces to stabilize the frontline battle situation. And when their rear is empty, this method is to think of what the enemy wants and kill them by surprise. Furthermore, we still have a Turkic army.
The army is supporting us from the rear. The Aji people are cooperating with us on this trip. As long as the general dares to take this dangerous move, the Turkic rebellion will be put down within three months. By then, the general will be an eternal hero and his name will go down in history."
