After washing and bandaging for nearly half an hour, Li Xian finally transferred it out of the back tent of the Chinese army's tent. Li He, Zhang Mingwu and Li Yaodong, who had been waiting in the tent, did not dare to neglect and hurried
Everyone bowed and saluted to say hello.
"No need, let's talk about it. What was the result?"
Li Xian gently waved his hand to signal everyone to stand up, strode behind the copywriter in the middle, lifted up the hem of his robe, sat down, glanced at the three of them with a solemn expression, and asked calmly.
"Your Highness, our army suffered 1,321 casualties and 874 wounded. Among them, our troops lost 731 killed and 420 wounded, and the Linzhou army lost 590.
452 people were injured. Except for the two thousand scattered soldiers of the Fangdang tribe, all 26,000 men and horses of the whole army were destroyed, and more than 6,300 people were killed or wounded. The rest were captured.
I searched for the prisoners, but never saw the Black Wind Bandits. According to the investigation, the bandit leader Sun Quanfu left with the main force last night. During today's battle, the rest of the bandits took advantage of the chaos and escaped."
Li He had the highest status among the generals. Since Li Xian asked about the results of the battle, it was natural for him to answer. Fortunately, before coming to the Chinese army's tent, Li He had already asked people to compile relevant data and answer Li Xian's question.
When you ask questions, they are well-founded and well-founded.
"Why did the Linzhou Army suffer so many casualties? What did Li Xuanning do for food? Where are the people?"
Li Xian was seriously injured in the battle last night, and he barely recovered after several hours of adjusting his breath. When he arrived at the battlefield, the war was already over. He had been busy talking to the tribal leaders before, so he could not recover.
I really didn't know that the Linzhou Army's casualties were so high. When I heard this, I was very angry.
"Replying to Your Highness, Li Xuanning, the governor of Linzhou, was greedy for merit and entered the army valley without permission. As a result, he was fiercely attacked by the enemy, and then escaped before the battle. This not only affected the Linzhou army, but also lost more than 50 of our "Mingdi" people. Wang Tong also
The soldier is seriously injured, please take a closer look, Your Highness!"
As soon as Li Xian asked about Li Xuanning, Li Yaodong became very angry. Before Li He could say anything, he had already stepped out from the side and sued Li Xuanning severely.
"You bastard, where is this bitch now?"
Li Xian was originally not at ease with Li Xuanning, so he placed Wang Tong and other "Mingdi" masters in his army. He was afraid that something would happen to him, but he never expected that he would be afraid of anything.
What's going on? When he heard that such huge casualties were caused entirely by Li Xuanning's random command, Li Xian's lungs almost exploded with anger. He slapped the copy and shouted angrily.
"He has fled back to Lintao City, and the general has sent someone to invite him."
Li Xian rarely got angry in front of his subordinates, but when he got angry, it was like thunder and thunder. Both Li He and Li Yaodong were so angry that they forgot to answer for a while, but Zhang Mingwu was relatively calm.
He stepped out from the side and answered politely.
"Please? He doesn't deserve it! Mingwu, I'll take my seal right away and put that bastard in jail immediately. You'll be temporarily appointed as the governor of Linzhou, go now!"
Li Xian originally planned to replace Li Xuanning. Now that he was guilty, he would not be polite to him. He grabbed the sign tube on the document, pulled out an arrow from it, and threw it into Zhang Mingwu's arms.
He ordered in a loud voice.
"Your Highness, there may be something wrong with this matter. Although Li Xuanning is an immoral person, he is the governor of a state after all. Although Your Highness has the power of restraint, he cannot deal with it at will. He must go to the imperial court.
Ask him about his crime. If he is not guilty, he may be framed by villains, so I will sincerely ask His Highness to take back his life."
Zhang Mingwu grabbed his hand and quickly caught the flying arrow in his hand. However, he did not obey the order. Instead, he spoke sincerely and remonstrated.
"Well, Gu was negligent. So, Mingwu rushed to Lintao immediately, took over the military power of Lintao with the command arrow given by Gu, and put Li Xuanning's bastard under house arrest in the Governor's Mansion. When he came back, Gu went to my father to discuss the matter.
crime!"
Although Li Xian was furious, he still maintained a certain calmness. He knew that Zhang Mingwu's advice was true. After all, at this time, Li Xian was already at odds with the King of Yue, and Empress Wu's party was eyeing him.
As well as the ambiguous attitude of the prince family, the life of Di Renjie and others in the court is not very easy. Even if they are not afraid, there is no need to cause big troubles because of such trivial matters. The evidence of Li Xuanning's crime is conclusive, and it is not difficult to capture him.
Since there was no need to violate the rules, he humbly accepted Zhang Mingwu's suggestion.
"promise!"
Since Li Xian had changed his order, Zhang Mingwu would not say anything else. He responded respectfully, hurriedly exited the tent, and went to take over Linzhou without mentioning the matter.
"Yaodong, is there any news from Shawanli?"
Now that things have happened, it is futile to be angry anymore. Li Xian was not clear about this truth, so he became more confident and forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart. He turned his face slightly to one side, glanced at Li Yaodong, and wrinkled slightly.
He asked with a frown.
"Your Highness, Sha Wanli has sent someone to deliver the news. Sun Quanfu led all his troops to sneak into Sandaogou last night, and there seems to be signs of escaping towards Tianshui."
Li Yaodong is the person in charge of this operation of "Mingdi". He knows that Li Xian is determined to get rid of the "Black Wind Bandit" and be quick. He does not dare to neglect the control of the "Black Wind Bandit". At this time, when Li Xian asked
He got up and immediately answered loudly.
"Sandaogou? It seems that this guy is planning to hide in Longshan. Without further ado, Li He, Yaodong, and you will immediately lead their troops to Sandaogou. Gu Zai will inform the Tianshui defenders to take control.
We must annihilate all the 'Black Wind Bandits' in all important roads!"
Li Xianjiu had the idea of exploring Hexi, and he had a comprehensive understanding of the topography of Hexi. As soon as he heard the name of Sandaogou, he immediately constructed the topography of the place in his mind, and in an instant he had concluded that Sun Quanfu
He calculated the route well and refused to give him a chance to escape, so he issued a pursuit order without hesitation.
"This... Your Highness, if we go and those tribesmen cause any trouble, what should we do?"
As soon as he heard that Li Xian had sent both of them out, Li Heke became a little anxious - there were quite a few soldiers from various tribes gathered in Lian'er Bay, and there were more than 10,000 people in total. If
As soon as Li He's troops left, there were only more than a thousand remnants of Linzhou's army left here, which was really unable to deter a group of ambitious and rebellious tribesmen. If Li Xian was in danger, it would be great fun.
Li He is not in a hurry to be free.
"Your Highness, there is still Taoist Qingxu among the thieves. I am afraid that my subordinates are not his enemies. It is not too late to wait until the alliance meeting is over before going in to suppress the thieves."
Li Yaodong was not worried about leaving Li Xian behind, but he did not dare to remonstrate directly like Li He did. Instead, he took a roundabout way and persuaded him. Of course, the result of last night's battle was also the result of his remonstrance.
A hidden intention.
"Qingxu? There is no need to worry about this person. Even if he does not die now, he will never be able to do anything to others within five years. As for this place, there is no need to worry too much. People of that size are all bullies and afraid of the strong.
, If it won’t cause serious trouble, there’s no need to say more, it’s settled!”
The battle last night was a lose-lose battle. The difference was that Li Xian was slightly injured, while Qingxu Lao Dao was extremely seriously injured. After both sides fought hard, Qingxu Lao Tao escaped with a broken arm and hurriedly ran into the dense forest. Li Xian was seriously injured.
It was obvious that he was too late to pursue him, and he was seriously injured and in urgent need of treatment. Only then did Old Taoist Qingxu escape. Even so, if Old Taoist Qingxu wanted to fight someone, he didn't have three to five years of training.
Don't even think about it, Li Xian still has this confidence.
"So His Highness has won?"
After all, Li Yaodong is one of the top masters in the world. It is impossible not to be tempted by the peak showdown between the great masters. The reason why he did not dare to ask questions before was because he was worried that Li Xian would be displeased. Now when he heard what Li Xian said,
Confident, he immediately became energetic, and in a moment of excitement, the words blurted out involuntarily.
"Well, I was lucky enough to win half of the moves, but it's a pity that I got away with that old Niubi. That's all. I'll tell you more about this later. Let's all go ahead and bring Sun Quanfu's head back to me!"
The battle last night was a long story, and Li Xian didn't want to miss the important task of annihilating the "Black Wind Bandits" because of it, so he simply said this, looked solemn, and gave the general order.
"promise!"
"The general will obey your orders!"
Li Xian had already said what he had said, so the two of them did not dare to say more. They each bowed and accepted the promise, and went off to busy mobilizing troops and generals without mentioning it.
"Hey, look, there's something going on in the Tang Army camp."
"Oh, Li He's entire army has been dispatched. Isn't this to annihilate us?"
"No, the Tang Dynasty is going to change its mind, and we will be in trouble!"
…
The commotion caused by such a large-scale mobilization of the Tang Army was not very small. The leaders who were gathering on the high platform in the center of Lian'erwan to discuss matters could not help but be alarmed. The discovery of Li He's cavalry troops made a sudden noise.
After rushing out of the camp, everyone immediately panicked and started shouting blindly. Especially the small tribal chiefs who had belonged to the Fangdang tribe were so frightened that their faces turned pale with fear.
"Fart, if His Highness wanted to kill us, he could have done it before, why wait until now! Whoever dares to slander His Highness again, I will chop him with a knife!"
The process of electing the leader of the alliance was quite unsatisfactory, and the leaders of the various tribes had very mixed opinions. This made Duning Aji, who originally thought that he would easily ascend to the throne, very angry. Then he heard the leaders talking nonsense.
, was even more worried that Li Xian would be offended, so he took out the horizontal knife from his waist in anger, swung it violently, and cursed fiercely.
"Brother Pugu, what do you mean by this? You guys are just talking casually. Why do you need to fight with swords like this? His Highness even said that you can't sin with words. Could it be that brother Pugu really wants to disobey His Highness's order?"
Ming Qi also wanted to be the leader of the alliance. He could see clearly that what Li Xian wanted was just an obedient person. As for who stayed in that position, Li Xian obviously didn't care very much. If not, he wouldn't care.
They would let the leaders make their own decisions, and they could simply let Duninga take the throne. Seeing that Duninga was behaving rudely, he immediately seized the opportunity and attacked Duninga fiercely.
"Old Mingqi, who do you think is here? Are you looking for death?"
Dunning'a was most annoyed with Ming Qi, a guy who didn't contribute any effort during the war but worked hard for the outcome after the war. When he heard him ridicule him, he immediately became angry and cursed, then raised his knife to chase Ming Qi.
Qi, with such a mix-up, the high platform suddenly became a mess again. The leaders were pulling and persuading, and the Taipingquan practitioners were also fishing in troubled waters. Naturally, no one cared about the fate of Tang Jun.
