The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

The fifth update is here!

……

Chang'an,

Prince Qin's Mansion.

Li Shimin hosted a banquet for an old minister in the Prince of Qin's palace. Suddenly, a confidant hurriedly walked up to him and whispered a few words in his ear, which made his face change drastically.

He stood up quickly, not caring about leaving the next thing to take advantage of, and hurried back to the study.

At the same time, someone brought Changsun Wuji over.

Changsun Wuji asked in surprise:"Why did King Qin leave his guests and call Wuji to the study in such a hurry?"

Li Shimin's eyes widened and he looked straight at Changsun Wuji, with a look of excitement on his face that could hardly be suppressed.

Seeing his expression, Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, then a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he raised his head suddenly

"Admiral Tiance, did he fight against the Turkic army?"

Li Shimin nodded heavily and finally couldn't help laughing heartily.

"Auxiliary machine, as expected, the sixth brother is unruly by nature and regards the world's heroes as nothing.

After the last clearing of the outer tribes in the desert, his 50,000 Mo Dao Guards were entangled with the 100,000 troops of the Eighth Turkic Prince in the Yin Mountains.

Moreover, Turk Jieli Khan personally led an army of 100,000 to attack Youzhou! They are fighting fiercely with the Youzhou defenders.

As a result, the sixth brother will be completely unable to escape from Youzhou. The opportunity you and I have been waiting for has arrived!"

The journey from Youzhou to Chang'an is nearly 2,300 miles.

Without rushing for 800 miles, constantly changing horses at the post station, and with elite scouts, it would take six or seven days to deliver the news. The border intelligence obtained by Li Shimin , the information was at least six or seven days behind!

At this moment, he had no idea that Li Changqing had flattened the Turkic royal court, nor did he know that the Turkic army had retreated and the difficulty in Youzhou had been solved.

Changsun Wuji's eyes were shining brightly, and his voice was slightly excited.

"We have been planning for so long and we can finally take action! The first step is to eradicate the deposed prince Li Jiancheng."

Li Jiancheng has many supporters in the court. If he is not eliminated, even if Li Shimin forces the palace, he will not get the support of all civil and military officials, and various unfavorable situations will occur.

A trace of cruelty flashed across Li Shimin's face, and he murmured:"Brother, you should have died long ago if you failed to launch the Xuanwu Gate mutiny. The sixth brother is soft-hearted, so he has spared your life till now. Don't blame me!"

……

Jieli Khan was furious. Although the army clearly had the advantage on the battlefield, he was forced to retreat.

His resentment towards Li Changqing has reached the sky.

He even did not hesitate to kill his beloved mount, vowing to kill Li Changqing one day.

Today's hatred is irreconcilable!

The Turkic army, which attacked Youzhou day and night for seven days and six nights, retreated leaving nearly 45,000 corpses behind.

No one could have imagined that their royal court would be taken over by Li Changqing!

From the Khan to the generals, the wives, sons and daughters of the tribal leaders were all captured. How could we fight this war?

There was cheering in Youzhou City!

The heavy armored guards and the Tianjie Army had been tense for seven days and could finally relax.

Everyone only needs to repair for three to five days. By then, whether it is the Modao Guards, the Heavy Armor Guards, the Divine Arrow Guards or the Tianjie Army, their combat power will be restored to its optimal level, and they will not be afraid of Turks attacking the city at all!

Li Changqing ordered Li Jing:"Sweep the battlefield quickly and cremate all the corpses to prevent large-scale infectious diseases. In addition, I ordered the soldiers and civilians in the city to boil drinking water before drinking it.""

"promise!"

Li Jing respectfully accepted the order and made corresponding arrangements.

Li Changqing then ordered Su Dingfang:"Gather all the doctors in Youzhou City and order them to come to the army to learn the medical skills of suturing wounds and heal the injured soldiers."

"promise!"

Su Dingfang accepted the order with clasped fists, personally led the troops, and recruited doctors from the whole city.

After Li Jing and Su Dingfang went down, Li Changqing did not relax his brows because of the retreat of the Turkic army. He was still frowning.

"Shadow Guard! Monitor the situation in border villages and towns at any time and be on guard against Turks becoming angry and plundering and massacring border villages and towns on a large scale"

……

While the Turkic army was evacuating, Jieli Khan suddenly had a secret plan in mind.

He immediately sent an order to a general with 1,500 troops to attack the villages and towns near Youzhou.

And he himself led part of the main army to ambush secretly.

The Turkic army invaded border villages and towns, and Li Changqing would not sit idly by and watch.

Jieli Khan was unwilling to retreat, and in anger, he burned, killed, and looted the border villages. This was a normal reaction and would not cause the Tang army to think otherwise.

Once Li Changqing sends troops to wipe out the small Turkic army invading the border, he will fall into Jieli Khan's plan and be surrounded by a large army secretly ambushing him.

This kind of strategy is reasonable and unexpected, and it is too difficult to see through!

Jieli Khan looked at Youzhou City from a distance, with a hint of sinisterness flashing across his face.

"With your character, you will definitely not bring more than 2,000 troops to annihilate a small army of 1,500 people. Once you are surrounded by this Khan, it will be difficult for you to fly!"

Soon, a group of 1,500 men broke away from the large army and headed straight for the villages and towns near Youzhou.

Jieli Khan, on the other hand, secretly led an army of 30,000 people and quietly left the large tribe. To choose A good terrain, setting up an ambush, and capturing Li Changqing in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, if he just leaves, the hatred in his heart will never be extinguished!

……

Two days have passed since the Turks retreated.

In the past two days, Li Changqing was sorting out the wounded, arranging pensions for the war dead, instructing Youzhou doctors on the art of suturing wounds, etc. He was so busy with various post-war affairs that he didn't even have time to eat.

At the wounded settlement area, Fang Xuanling found Li Changqing who was busy and reported the battle damage figures to him,"General, in this battle our army had more than 170,000 Turkic civilians and killed 214,000 Turkic troops! A total of nearly 30 enemies were killed. Eighty thousand!

Among them, 2,634 Dragon Cavalry Guards died in battle, 1,223 Heavy Armor Guards died in battle, 87 Divine Arrow Guards died in battle, and 5,000 Modao Guards died in battle. Three hundred and seventy-one people, a total of 9,313 people from the 80,000 White-robed Army died in battle! The Tianjie Army killed 21,685 people."

In this battle, the White-robed Army could be said to have fought So majestic! With the blood of the Turks, the power of the Tang Dynasty was forged!

Almost all the Turkic peripheral tribes were wiped out, the royal court was destroyed, the eighth prince's army of 100,000 was wiped out, and Jieli Khan led an army of 300,000 to march out, leaving behind more than 45,000 corpses. , was forced to retreat.

The battle loss ratio between the two sides was completely extreme.

The Han and Tang Dynasties were victorious and the Turks were defeated!

"General, there is an urgent report from the front. Seventy miles north of Youzhou, a group of Turkic cavalry with more than 1,500 people was found, burning, killing and looting everywhere."

Fang Xuanling had just finished reporting, and the Shadow Guard came over to report the latest information to Li Changqing.
