Although there were a few minor deviations from the beginning of the war, in the end it was all in favor of the Tang Dynasty. Jieli was passively beaten all the time, being chased and kicked by Li Jing and others.
It can be said that it is a certainty that the Tang Dynasty will wipe out the Eastern Turks.
Li Shimin was even more delighted after Li Jing attacked Yinshan at night and won a complete victory.
In the early morning, Zheng Xuan and Pei Ji repeatedly asked Li Shimin why he went back on his word and insisted on expanding the war, risking the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Although Li Shimin sneered in his heart, he said with a kind face that this move was a spontaneous military action by Li Jing and others who were disobedient and would punish Li Jing when his troops returned to the court in the future.
But now that war is unavoidable, we can only work hard to solve the hidden dangers at the northern border, so as to ensure the eternal peace of the Tang Dynasty.
Zheng Xuan and Pei Ji knew that the war had resumed and that they and the others were helpless. When the time came, Li Shimin, with the power of destroying the Turks, would definitely raise his butcher's knife against the aristocratic family.
There was also a joyful and lively atmosphere in Chang'an. People rushed to spread the news and praised Li Jing and others as national heroes.
Foreigners doing business in Chang'an have been cautious these days, for fear of offending these people of the Tang Dynasty.
…
"Damn it, where did this sudden enemy come from?" Cheng Yaojin stood on the wall of the border city. When he heard an army of more than 30,000 people coming towards the border city in the distance, he suddenly became angry.
He had to be scolded angrily.
"General, the scouts came back from the investigation and believe that these people should be from Xueyantuo." An officer replied.
"Xue Yantuo? Are they tired of living? Dare you send troops to surround our border town at this time?" Cheng Yaojin was very puzzled by the sudden visit of this army.
"This army has no designation, and it's hard for us to judge. There are too many places that our army needs to defend right now. With the three thousand troops in our border city, if they suddenly attack our army, I'm afraid..."
Cheng Yaojin naturally knew that at present, several armies were chasing and intercepting Jieli outside the fortress, and there were not many troops left behind. Faced with the sudden appearance of troops suspected of being from the Xue Yantuo tribe, Cheng Yaojin could not see the direction of the war for a while.
.
If the border town is used as a breakthrough by the enemy, then the enemy may endanger Yunzhong, Mayi, Yingzhou and other important places, causing the rear to be in crisis, which will prevent our front troops from going deeper.
"Don't alert the enemy yet. The general manager must have obtained the information. Now we must closely monitor each other's every move and must not fight easily." Cheng Yaojin ordered.
"What? An army of more than 30,000 people appeared not far from the border town?" Zhang San couldn't help shouting when he heard the news brought by the black bear.
"I heard that it is from a certain branch of the Xueyantuo tribe, but the other party did not give a number. Now General Cheng does not dare to intercept easily. He can only strengthen precautions and monitor the other party's actions."
"Damn, what's going on? We're about to catch Jie Li. Why did an army of unknown hostility appear at this time?"
Although Zhang San doesn't know much about military affairs, he also knows that the sudden appearance of this army at this juncture must be caused by bad intentions.
But Zhang San just couldn't figure it out. Who dared to anger the lion of the Tang Dynasty at this time?
"Sir, General Cheng is currently shrinking his troops. All patrol teams that have gone out have withdrawn to the border towns. General Cheng has already issued an alarm to Yingzhou and Yunzhong. It is estimated that there will be a fierce battle here." Genzi also inquired from outside.
Some news made me feel very heavy at this time.
The entire border town was now fortified and ready for battle.
However, this army seemed to be like a lion patrolling its territory. It walked around the border city without attacking the city or making any noise. It just wandered around twice.
The scouts sent out by Cheng Yaojin brought back news that ten thousand of this army had been divided and marched in the direction of Yunzhong, Mayi, and Youzhou.
Hearing the news, Cheng Yaojin's heart sank suddenly, "They are indeed coming for the border town."
Li Jing's side also got the news, but at this time Li Jing, Xu Shiji and others had gone deep into the Turkic hinterland and were about to catch up with Jie Li. Jie Li's side seemed to have also got the news. At this time, Jie Li was like a person after drowning. He grabbed hold of a life-saving straw and refused to let go, leading the remaining men to engage in guerrilla warfare with Li Jing.
At the same time, Murong Fuyun, king of Tuguhun, also received a request for help from Jieli Khan and sent 40,000 troops to meet Jieli Khan.
The wind of the war suddenly reversed, and Li Jing was unable to escape for a while. He was very troubled by the troops from Tuguhun, Xue Yantuo and other tribes who appeared out of nowhere.
What made Li Jing even more furious was that at this time, other armies were also being watched from a distance by troops who did not know the enemy's situation.
"Are Tubo, Tuguhun and all these people crazy? Do you want to challenge the military power of the Tang Dynasty?" Li Jing roared angrily after receiving information about several armies.
"General Manager, what do these troops from various countries that suddenly appeared next to our army mean?" Zhang Gongjin, the general, was also greatly surprised by this result, and was also puzzled by the confusing behavior of those troops.
"It seems that some people don't want to see Jieli destroyed!" Li Jing replied in a deep voice.
"Order the whole army to march quickly, and be sure to capture that Jieli as quickly as possible." After thinking for a while, Li Jing began to issue military orders.
At the same time, Li Jing also ordered Wei Xiaojie and Xue Wanche to allocate part of their troops to reinforce the border towns, Youzhou, and Yunzhong.
But what happened next was something that no one expected, because Goguryeo also sent troops to keep an eye on Xue Wanche and Wei Xiaojie, so that they did not dare to act rashly.
"It's chaos, it's all chaos. How come these countries are all in a group now?" As the situation developed, Zhang San felt that his view of history had been completely overturned.
"Sir, what's going on?" Erwazi saw Zhang San walking around, and words he didn't understand came out of his mouth from time to time.
"Is there any unusual movement in the army outside?" Zhang San did not answer, but asked.
"It seems not. I heard that they have set up camp and are not running around anymore." Erwazi replied.
"It feels like something big is going to happen." Zhang San said in a deep voice.
"General Cheng has asked Yingzhou to take precautions and sent two thousand troops for reinforcements. It should be fine if we use the city wall, right?" Erwazi asked uncertainly.
Erwazi has also been disturbed by the tense atmosphere in the past two days.
"I don't know. According to historical development, there should be nothing..." Zhang San said at the end, his voice as thin as a mosquito.
Erwazi didn't hear what he said clearly. Like Zhang San, it was his first time to come to the battlefield, and he was also full of uneasiness.
