Chapter 66: The Last Battle Is Not Victory Or Die(2/2)
Asuna Sheer said: "Khan, I'm worried that if I missed the opportunity to surrender this time, I'm afraid Li Jiancheng would never give us such an opportunity again."
Jie Li snorted coldly and said, "Next time? There is no need for the next time. Next time, I will take more Turkic cavalry to Chang'an to find him."
Jie Li was not giving up. After all, he had reached an alliance with more than a hundred tribes and countries. From Goguryeo to Tubo, the Western Turks attacked the Tang Dynasty.
Dingxiang City, in the tent of the Tang army's camp.
Li Jing said with a heavy look of concern: "Jie Li made peace at this time, which was clearly a delaying plan. During this period, there were more than a dozen cavalry soldiers who had intercepted us and informed the return of the tribes to build, and perhaps there were still those we hadn't intercepted."
Du Fuwei nodded and said, "Jie Li is cunning and wise. If he doesn't completely defeat him, he will never submit sincerely."
Li Jing said with a worried look: "But if we delay and delay the opportunity to fight, not only will our life be lost, but half of the 140,000 troops in our current commander return to the south of the Great Wall alive!"
Du Fuwei said, "What should I do with Your Majesty's edict? The Turkic envoys are so cunning that they travel day and night to bring the edicts before our army is dispatched."
Li Jing thought while saying, "That edict did not ask us to stop the army, but ordered Jie Li to go to Chang'an to apologize. As long as we defeat Jie Li, he would beg us to spare his life, so how could he be willing to harm Qin Zhi's life? For these foreign barbarians, etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame are useless. They only believe in strength. As long as you have the strength, they will kneel in front of your horse and recognize you as their master!"
Du Fuwei smiled bitterly and said, "If we send troops, we are afraid that Your Majesty will suspect us. If you are outside, you will not accept the orders of the king."
Li Jing sighed, frowned and murmured, "Your Majesty is a soldier, how could he not see that this is a delaying strategy..."
Du Fuwei suddenly remembered something and said anxiously: "Pharmacist, do you still remember the tips given to you by His Majesty? He said that if you encounter something difficult to solve, you can open it and take a look."
Li Jing suddenly realized and quickly took out the tip of the suitcase and opened it.
Du Fuwei snatched the note and spread it out and said, "All military affairs and military affairs are given to the public, and I will not govern it!"
Du Fuwei slowly raised his head and looked at Li Jing silently.
...
Baidao, Jie Liya's tent.
Ashinoser walked into the tent with two Turkic special agents.
Jie Li stood up excitedly.
Ashin's eyes emitted green light and said, "Khan, come back to the two families."
Jie Li's eyes shining and laughed: "Ashinsheer, if you have made great contributions to the Turks, the gods will remember your contributions.
The two Turkic special men saluted Jie Li.
Jie Li looked at the two special agents and said, "How many children have you brought back?"
The Turkic Special Forces said: "Great Khan, five hundred tents."
The smile on Jie Li's face gradually faded away and said, "Five hundred tents? How do I remember, you actually have five thousand tents?"
The Turkic special agent began to wipe his tears and said, "The wind and snow are too strong, and the big khans are all frozen to death in the wild."
Jie Li gritted his teeth and roared: "It's all Li Jiancheng's sins... When we survive this winter, we will make them repay a hundred times."
Asuna Sheer said: "Khan, we must be wary of the Tang army's sneak attack."
Jie Li thought for a while and said, "How many people are guarding the road?"
Asuna Sher said: "Twenty-one thousand."
Jie Li rubbed his chin and pondered: "There are fewer troops. You know, Li Jing brought a total of 150,000 Tang troops. Add to ten Li Xiaogong's 100,000 Hedong troops, a total of 250,000 troops!"
Ashin Ser frowned and said with hesitation: "Khan, there is still a small path. Do you want to divide your troops to guard?"
Jie Li was shocked and said, "Xiaolu? Which one do you think of on the back of Yinshan Mountain?"
Asuna Shel nodded.
Jie Li shook his head and said, "That road can only be carried by goats. How can they get through the snow so heavily? The most important thing now is to keep an eye on the Tang envoy."
Asuna Sheer said: "Tang Jian?"
Jie Li nodded and said, "I'm sure you should watch him. If you have any abnormal behavior, please notify me immediately."
Asuna Sher said: "Khan means..."
Jie Li said: "If Tang Jian showed signs of escape, it means that the Tang army would definitely come to attack."
Asuna Sheer said: "Such a heavy storm..."
Jie Li said: "It is because the weather is bad that you have to be more careful."
Dingxiang City, in the tent of the Tang army's camp
The strong wind blew violently against the central army's tent.
Li Jing glanced at it, kept shaking the roof of the tent, and continued to look through the military documents.
Dozens of generals sitting in the big tent sat silently.
Sima Du Fuwei and several side generals lifted the curtain and walked into the big tent. A large stream of wind and snow rushed in.
Du Fuwei slapped and cleaned it up, and the snowflakes on his head and body said, "The snow is so big. You can't see the people clearly if you are ten steps away. This ghost weather can't draw the bow at all."
Li Jing stood up and said, "Is there any new news?"
The side general Xiao Nuo stepped forward and bowed: "Report to the general, Jie Li is still in Baidao and has not left."
Li Jing said "Oh" and raised his eyebrows: "How is the Turkic troops deployed?"
Xiao Nuo hesitated for a moment and said, "There are two roads to Jie Liyating, and from this way to the northwest, there are more than 20,000 Turkic cavalry patrolling and guarding..."
Li Jing said dissatisfiedly: "More than 20,000? How much does it cost?"
Xiao Nuo sighed helplessly and said, "The wind and snow are too heavy. Our scouts cannot get close to you, so we cannot be sure of auspiciousness..."
Li Jing looked at Du Fuwei helplessly and said, "Where is another way?"
Xiao Nuo said: "The other is a small road, which can be directly inserted into the north of the entrance. It only needs to cross the ridge of Yinshan Mountain. It is difficult for people to pass through, but now it is snowing heavily to block the mountain, so it is even more difficult to walk!"
Li Jing was silent for a moment and said, "If we are in trouble, isn't the Turks difficult? Since this road is here, we can pass."
Du Fuwei said in surprise: "General is ready to use troops?"
Li Jing sighed and said, "We can't stand it!"
Du Fuwei was stunned for a moment and frowned.
Li Jing said: "A hundred thousand troops, every day they stop, they will consume 200,000 kilograms of food. The Central Plains just took a breath from the famine that happened once in a few decades. This time, the emperor took out the whole world's assets for us to sweep the north..."
Du Fuwei continued: "From November last year to the present, this battle has been fought for nearly two months. It is really not easy to have such a situation today!"
Li Jing looked at the door of the big tent, and the howling north wind blew in his ears.
Li Jing said: "Now that heavy snow is blocking the territory, it is extremely inconvenient for the army to dispatch maneuvers. Many soldiers are frostbite. If they drag down so undyingly, they will really drag the morale of the entire army. At that time, it will not be our business to spare Jie Li."
Du Fuwei smiled bitterly: "If that is the case, if Jie Li is willing to let us go safely and return to the Central Plains, you and I will call you lucky!"
Li Jing said sternly: "I have decided that this situation cannot be delayed anymore. We must send troops immediately and attack directly."
Du Fuwei and a group of generals straightened their backs.
Li Jing looked around and said, "I will decide this matter and let me do it. Naturally, I don't want you to be responsible. I am the chief general appointed by His Majesty and have the power to act cheaply!"
Du Fuwei laughed and said, "Just, you, Yaoshi Li, dare to take responsibility. I, Du Fuwei, are you a soft man without a backbone? Since you have decided, it is naturally the two of us who ordered together. If you leave me, Sima, aside, I will not obey!"
Li Jing smiled and said, "Okay, it's the old charter. You lead the main force to attack the main road and attract the attention of Jie Li and the Turkic main force; I lead 10,000 elite cavalry and bring 20 days of food rations, and cross the Yinshan Mountain from the small road and penetrate directly into the entrance."
Du Fuwei shook his head and said, "No, you are the commander of the army, you can't take any more risks! Let's change this time, I will lead the army to attack, you will lead the main force and have a feint attack head-on!"
Li Jing was about to refuse, but Du Fuwei interrupted him without saying a word and said, "You are nearly sixty years old this year, but I am just in my thirties. No matter what, I should do the chores like this, so I should do it!"
Li Jing raised his face and said, "Fu Wei, don't fight anymore. The army attacks from afar. The commander is not in the army. Where do the morale of the soldiers? This is my general order, not to discuss with you!"
Du Fuwei frowned, but couldn't say anything more.
Li Jing looked around the generals in the tent and said, "Everyone, this is the last battle for peace in the world. If I cannot win, I, Li Jing, have a noble and kindness, have high expectations for the court, and have a burden to the people. The soldiers hope to return to Middle-earth without any face."
The generals stood up one after another and looked at Li Jing with respect.
Li Jing said: "If all the public use their orders, this battle will be our last hope for the Duke of Jin. If all the public are lazy, the ice and snow are everywhere, and the place where we bury our bones."
The generals shouted in unison: "We are willing to die!"
Li Jing picked up the order and threw it on the ground with a crackling sound. He shouted: "The army comes out, there is no enemy, no one, and I am invincible!"
