Don't be a prince

In the first ten days of September, Li Jing arrived in Shuofang. Unlike Cheng Yaojin, he brought a team of family generals and rushed over at almost desperate speed.

When he was in Chang'an, he made a comprehensive analysis of the situation on the Eastern Turkic border, so after he was appointed, he simply left behind the [-] troops he was supposed to be carrying and rushed directly to Shuofang.

"The governor of Bingzhou and the British Duke Li Ji led the main force to directly attack the hinterland of the Eastern Turks from the East Road. The advancement of his main force will inevitably cause Xieli to rebound. Li, will definitely choose to avoid the edge temporarily.

Huo Guogong and Chai Shao, the general manager of the Jinhe Road, I will order him to advance along the Yellow River on the west road, echoing Li Ji and us, Jieli can't escape west, so he can only go north.

Li Daozong, the general manager of Datongdao's march, and Zhang Baoxiang, the deputy general, marched from Lingzhou to the northwest. They not only helped Cheng Yaojin and others in Longyou to divert the attention of the Western Turks, but also prevented Xieli from fleeing to the Western Turks.Wei Xiaojie, the general manager of the Heng'an Road March, should guard the Yanyun area to prevent the Turkic army from fleeing eastward.

Although Tuli Khan has a secret agreement with us, Tang Dynasty, he is not of my race, so his heart must be different, so we must guard against it.Even if this time it was a trap set by him in a false attachment, the old man will lead the team to drill into it.Although the Turks have hundreds of thousands of troops, they are all composed of herdsmen.It's winter now, and the old man doesn't believe that they can gather together. 10,000+ troops, he can't eat it even if he is exhausted!

Therefore, Xue Wanshu, the governor of Lingzhou and the marching chief of Changwu Dao, should use the northeast route to attack the Turkic rear and monitor Tuli Khan.Although the troops were not as strong as Tuli, he had some changes, and it was enough to restrain him.Even if Xue Wanshu retreated while fighting, by the time Tuli turned around, the old man had already taken Jieli down! "

Every time he said a word, Li Jing would draw the corresponding route and mark on the map.Steady hands, no trembling, no trace of wrinkles in the lines drawn.This is self-confidence, 10,000+ troops, multi-party coordination, coupled with the psychological judgment of the enemy, when Li Jing set up this plan, he already had victory in his hands.

He and Li Chengqian were the only ones in the entire Chinese army tent, and even Zhang Yun and others were kicked out.The soldiers led by the prince surrounded the big tent of the Chinese army. Those who approached would be expelled, and anyone who broke through would be hacked to death.

If it wasn't for teaching Li Chengqian, Li Jing would have rotted these words in his stomach, and even his own generals would not have told them.

Looking at the beautiful pocket formation in the messy lines, Li Chengqian was deeply moved.

I am afraid that only Li Jing can formulate such a tactic.Other generals can only lead the way to head-to-head. As for multi-party coordination and even consideration of the enemy's psychology, even the emperor may not be so meticulous.

After speaking, Li Jing threw the map into the brazier, smashing the ashes with a fire hook.

"Tell me, what do you think of the old man's arrangement?"

Li Chengqian thought for a long time before he asked tentatively: "Mr. Wei, you considered east, west, south, why didn't you consider north? Although it is very cold in the north, Jieli may not go north when he is desperate. Even I am not afraid Going north, I guess this guy will be even less afraid."

Li Jing said unhappily: "Do you think the old man will forget the north? To the north of East Turkic is the backbone of Tiele's tribes. Although they surrendered to Eastern Turkic, Jieli's tyranny has already made them complain. Before that, the backbone When the envoys sent the tribute horses to Chang’an, they expressed their disapproval. When our Tang Dynasty took action against the Eastern Turks, they would definitely make trouble for Jieli. The territory that Gu Ligan was eroded by the Eastern Turks is what our Tang Dynasty promised to give Guli What a reward!"

Li Chengqian nodded in confusion.Tiele?Bones?What is this all about?There are also Tunguska and Qudumei Kingdom written on the map just now, what are these.I know the history of the Tang Dynasty quite well, but I don't know anything about these guys.

"If you have any questions, ask quickly. Tomorrow, I will lead [-] troops and go to the front line first. To be honest, I don't like you coming out this time. Fortunately, His Majesty knows the difficulty of this old man and ordered you to stay in Shuofang. With you alone, this old man will waste a lot of energy."

Li Chengqian didn't dare to say "I'm going to Feng Mansion too", so he could only take out the prince's personal seal and pass it to Li Jing.

Reaching out to take the seal, Li Jing didn't intend to refuse at all.

In fact, the reason why he told Li Chengqian so much, and in such detail, was that he took a fancy to the prince's closeness in Li Chengqian's hands.

With such a powerful army, there are many uses for surprise attacks and breaking formations.In fact, the arrangement this time seems to be complicated, the most important thing is his main force of the Chinese army, and the prince's personal leadership is a sharp knife in the Chinese army!

Li Chengqian naturally understood Li Jing's meaning, the crown prince took the lead, in fact, it was originally intended to be handed over to Li Jing.A powerful army can exert its greatest combat power only in the hands of a wise commander!Remember in one second on the mobile phone → .B\\.\ provides you with wonderful novels to read.

"The crown prince will personally lead, and Gu will be handed over to Wei Gong. How to use it, Wei Gong will decide on his own. As for the two thousand imperial troops, it is not Gu who can decide on his own."

Li Jing nodded and bowed to Li Chengqian.This is a formal handover, not a time to talk about the friendship between teachers and students.

Walking out of the Chinese army tent, Zhang Yun quietly walked behind Li Chengqian like a shadow.

The two thousand imperial troops were all masters, but their command was not in the hands of Li Chengqian, nor in the hands of Tai, but in the hands of Zhang Yun!

The queen probably also guessed what Li Jing might have in mind, so she broke the ban again without hesitation and handed over the military power to the eunuch.As long as Zhang Yun is in control of the imperial army, even if Li Jing has ten guts and ten cheeks, he will not dare to say this.

Hu Tian didn't have snow in August, nor in September, but the howling north wind had already started to hurt people's faces.

As expected of the emperor's personal eunuch, Zhang Yun walked to the windward side very consciously.

Standing still outside the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Chengqian turned his head, and Zhang Yun immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Zhang Yun, I'm just thinking..."

"No, the Empress has an order. If two thousand imperial guards leave Her Highness without authorization, they will die! If His Highness leaves Shuofang and goes north, the servants will definitely ask for the Li family law if they risk their lives."

I can't say...

Before he could finish speaking, he was called back.

Shut up, Li Chengqian, who was making fun of himself, passed by Sun Simiao's residence, and was relieved to see that the old man had quietly left.

Chapter 194 Sudden Illness

Fengfu is going anyway.

If Li Chengqian still wanted to stay honestly in Shuofang or something before coming here, when he saw the situation of the wounded barracks, he didn't know where to fly to with his timidity.

The cold house, the lack of medical care, and the shortage of manpower have resulted in a high death rate in the wounded battalion.Wounded soldiers entered the wounded barracks, even if they did not die due to the deterioration of their own injuries, they could easily be infected by others, and eventually they were out of control.It is also because of this that many soldiers who lost their fingers and toes would rather endure it than enter the wounded barracks.

This can't be done, the soldiers who risked their lives on the battlefield did not die on the battlefield, but died in the cold wounded barracks, this is inhumane.

It's not that complicated, grab a few laborers for heating, and if you don't have wood, just keep burning hay!There is no way to set up a kang, and a small stove can also raise the room temperature!There is no cold medicine, and Sun Simiao's sweating medicine combined with a thick fur quilt is not much less effective than cold medicine.In addition to the excessive blood loss that cannot be dealt with, even if it is a severed limb, as long as it does not die on the road and is properly cared for afterwards, there is a [-]% survival rate.

Although Shuofang is relatively close to the front line now, after Li Jing's battle line is completely opened, the East Turkic herdsmen who are close to the south side can only drive their cattle and sheep northward as long as they don't think of conflict.After the land is continuously collected, Shuofang will soon become the rear area.

The distance between the battalion of wounded soldiers and the battlefield is almost the distance between life and death for wounded soldiers, especially seriously wounded soldiers.

Although the queen's mother and the emperor's father have ordered that they are not allowed to approach the battlefield, they will be fine if they shrink behind the large army.But if you stay in Shuofang all the time, when the war really starts, what's the difference from visiting the grasslands!

Back in my tent, I sat at the table in a daze.

Zhang Yun walked in and put a leg of lamb and a plate of boiled dried vegetables on the table. He added a little salt without adding any seasoning, but such a plate of vegetables would attract looting.In this place where even grass roots are tasted, dried vegetables are definitely more drool-worthy than gold.

Both the leg of lamb and dried vegetables could be seen to have been gnawed, and it was unappetizing to look at, but the protest was ineffective. These eunuchs would rather be beaten than to taste his meal before allowing him to eat.

For the sake of his own stomach, Li Chengqian could only pretend not to see, and took a knife to slice the incomplete leg of lamb into pieces, and ate it stealthily.

The barracks was in chaos, it was because Li Jing had already started deploying soldiers and horses.As the general manager, although Li Jing can only directly command [-] soldiers and horses, all the general managers under his jurisdiction must obey his command.

The [-] soldiers are still on their way to Shuofang, and the war will officially start only when all the [-] soldiers have arrived and all the soldiers are ready to go.

It was only at this time that Li Chengqian realized that it was foolish to apply modern warfare to ancient warfare. The interaction of multiple parties, coupled with the movement of the army, would easily take ten days and a half a month.I thought my memory was wrong, but it turned out not to be. The battle at the beginning of the fourth year of Zhenguan required the first half of the third year of Zhenguan, so I started preparing.

In November, the [-] troops belonging to Li Jing arrived late, but at this time, it was already snowing heavily.

Waking up in the morning, shivering, he took out the warm cotton coat and trousers under the blanket, and Li Chengqian began to dress.

Although the cotton-padded clothes and trousers are warm, it is still uncomfortable to wear them in the cold tent. They can only be put on immediately when they are hugged under the covers.

After putting on the clothes and armor, a bloated Li Chengqian was born.

If the armor is worn like this, you will be impeached in Chang'an, but here in the grassland, whoever impeaches whom!Li Jing, the chief executive, was also dressed in sackcloth under his armor. He was thin before, but now he looks like a bear.

When he reached the door of the tent, Li Chengqian pushed open the curtain with great determination.

Beside the tent, two eunuchs in thin clothes kept watch all night, their faces turned purple from the cold.

With one kick, Li Chengqian said angrily, "It's just two idiots. What if they freeze to death? If it's warm in the tent, stay in the tent. Why are you poking outside?"

An eunuch shook his head. Seeing that Zhang Yun and others, who were changing shifts, were coming, he rubbed his unconscious face and went back to his place to rest.At the same time, there were many people hiding around the tent, and one of the soldiers kept scratching his ear, obviously suffering from frostbite.

"Your Highness, only by guarding outside the tent can we detect the crisis in advance."

"Stupid, there are so many people outside, it's the same if they take turns coming in to keep warm. Didn't Gu not say that they are not allowed to come in?"

"But if they go in back and forth, His Highness will not be able to sleep. The air-conditioning will go in and make you suffer from the wind and cold. The servants and others will die."

Speechlessly kicking Zhang Yun, Li Chengqian didn't even look at his "sincere" face.On the two bright red cheeks, there was only one word "stupid" written on one side and the other word "good".

Today's camp was exceptionally quiet. The prince's commander who surrounded the wounded camp did not know when they withdrew. Only the open space on the snow field could tell that they had been stationed here.

"Duke Wei is leaving?" Li Chengqian turned around and glared at Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun nodded and rubbed his itchy nose.

Li Jing set off quietly, starting in November, he could always arrive in Mayi before the year, and like a sharp knife, he directly took Xieli's tooth tent.Because the Turkic people also have to spend the winter, and when the cold winter comes, they also have to move south.And the location of Xiangcheng is too close to Datang.

What is about to happen to East Turks is like a replica of the Weishui incident in the ninth year of Wude.

We must keep up, the battle will start soon, and Sun Simiao also used various excuses to transfer all the supplies hoarded by Shuofang to Feng Mansion. No matter what, Feng Mansion has to go there.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he saw a jujube stick in Zhang Yun's arms.Seeing this stick, Li Chengqian immediately chose to shut up.If you leave Shuofang, as soon as you say it, you will probably be hit by Zhang Yun, a bastard.You can't hide yet. The consequences of hiding are worse than being caught.

Chai Shao has also left, and Xue Wanjun has also left. The one who stays in Shuofang is an ordinary general. His only purpose of being here is to receive news from various sources and act as a transfer station.

Not in the mood to swim here, he inspected the wounded barracks, and after making sure that the wounded soldiers staying here would not be in danger, Li Chengqian withdrew his tent.

Zhang Yun followed Li Chengqian every step of the way, and even the tea brought by other eunuchs, he had to taste a cup before putting the teapot on the desk.

There was a letter from Sun Simiao on the table. When the old Taoist arrived in Fengfu, he was immediately regarded as a god by the local soldiers and generals. The comparison between Shuofang's wounded barracks and Fengfu was like a joke.Between the lines in the letter, one could see the old man's anxiety.There is a shortage of manpower!Li Jing only approved 500 soldiers for the wounded battalion, and they were all auxiliary soldiers, all clumsy.However, there are more than a thousand wounded soldiers in the wounded barracks!

The [-] imperial troops are still stationed around the wounded barracks. In terms of combat power, they may be stronger than the prince's own leader, but even if they don't go into the battlefield, they won't be used in the wounded barracks.What the two thousand soldiers have to do every day is to eat and sleep, wake up and stand around the tent of the prince, and act like a fool around the camp of the wounded soldiers.This is a strong waste of human resources!

Fortunately, the old man was considerate. After pulling out the letter from the envelope, it was obvious that there was something left.Zhang Yun was not qualified to peek at Sun Simiao's letter.

Looking at the teapot that was no longer steaming, Li Chengqian glared at Zhang Yun, who looked like a wooden man: "Why don't you go and change the hot water for Gu?"

Zhang Yun nodded, took the teapot and walked to the door of the tent, and handed the teapot to the eunuch outside. He made up his mind not to go out easily.

However, during the time when he turned around, it was enough for Li Chengqian to take out a pill from the envelope, stuff it into his mouth and swallow it.

The time for a stick of incense passed, and Li Chengqian suddenly felt extremely hot, and sweat flowed out uncontrollably.

The old-fashioned medicine always works so well, even beads of sweat are dripping from the forehead.

The pen in his hand fell to the ground, the sound was not loud, but it caught Zhang Yun's attention.

Grabbing his forehead and throwing himself on the table, bumping his hands non-stop, Li Chengqian's pitiful scream was interpreted to the point: "It hurts me to death!"

"Your Highness!"

Zhang Yun was startled, and rushed over in two steps from a distance of five or six meters, and quickly stopped the prince's self-mutilation.

This hug made him feel that something was wrong.The prince was sweating all over his body, and his hair was already wet in such a short time.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Hearing the sound, the two eunuchs on duty at the door also rushed in. Seeing the prince struggling in Zhang Yun's arms, he felt cold hands and feet.

Obviously, the prince is already very strict!Why is this still happening?

Zhang Yun's eyes were so red that they were about to bleed, and he yelled at the two eunuchs, "Don't seal off the surrounding area? Hurry up and invite the military doctor!"

"The prince fell ill."

Just this news caused the calm wounded barracks to explode.

All the military doctors gathered in the crown prince's camp, and they diagnosed the pulse under Zhang Yun's staring eyes.

Many wounded soldiers who were able to move couldn't help but stand outside the tent. Although the imperial army did not allow them to approach, it was good to hear the news.

It was very cold in the tent being stirred by people coming and going, but the military doctor's head was sweating.

Even if the prince suffers from any illness, their heads will probably have to move.However, this pulse is too chaotic!No disease at all.But judging from the prince's constant cry of pain and sweating all over his body, it must be a serious emergency.

"how!"

Zhang Yun's palm was bleeding from the fingernail.

The military doctor shook his head. Seeing that Zhang Yun was about to get angry, he hurriedly said: "The prince's pulse is too disordered. It is difficult to judge the disease just by looking at the appearance. I am incompetent, so I can only prescribe a painkiller for His Highness. Now send it to Chang'an It must be too late, looking at all the military doctors in the grassland, I am afraid that none of them can do it, and only Daoist Sun from Fengfu can cure this disease."

"Then drive quickly! Prepare the carriage and escort the prince to Fengfu!"

Li Chengqian couldn't help saying sorry to Zhang Yun in his heart as he could hear the chaotic voices of the crowd with his eyes closed.If you don't use this trick, you won't be able to go to Fengfu at all.

Half pushing and half swallowing a bowl of soup of unknown ingredients, Li Chengqian was also tired from tossing himself during this period, so he simply fell asleep and let Zhang Yun carry him.

Two thousand imperial guards, escorting the crown prince and escorting the military doctor who prescribes and boils the medicine, rushed to Feng Mansion day and night.

Nearly four hundred miles away, they arrived in less than five days.

Of course, Li Chengqian also tried his best to pretend to be a patient for five days.

When the prince's illness was finally "rejuvenated" by Sun Simiao, Zhang Yun and others breathed a sigh of relief.A few eunuchs who were more vulnerable even fainted after crying.

During these five days, they almost all hurried on their way holding their breath, and now that the prince has finally recovered, they feel at ease about their own lives.

After "recovering", Li Chengqian realized that pretending to be sick is also a kind of hard work.

Asking people to drag Zhang Yun down to rest, Li Chengqian only brought a few rested imperial soldiers as bodyguards, and followed Sun Simiao to visit the wounded barracks.

Compared with Shuofang's wounded barracks in Fengfu, it was much more tragic.Fortunately, Lao Sun also learned Li Chengqian's tricks. Although it was tragic, it would not become the original feeling of death.

"There is a shortage of people! The wounded are being transported back every day. Many soldiers with minor injuries were called back to the battlefield before they had time to rest for two days."

Walking between the tents of the wounded barracks, Sun Simiao didn't know what to say.Fastest update../ ../

This was the first time he faced the battlefield directly, and now less than twenty miles away from Feng Mansion, Chai Shao and Xue Wan both blocked more than 3 herdsmen, and they were indistinguishable from being killed.The residents of the grasslands are very similar to the military system in the Central Plains. The army organized by Xieli is actually herdsmen on weekdays. They will take up arms and happily go south to rob when the nobles of the grassland call.

There are more than 3 herdsmen, but Chai Shao and Xue Wan have only 10,000 troops.It's a bit sad to say, Datang seems to have been fighting more with less. This time the 10,000+ army was dispatched, behind which was the supply of Guochao who did its best and even overdrawn.But this 70+ army has to face [-] million herdsmen in the East Turkic land.

The sorrow only lasted for a moment and then disappeared without a trace, because the wounded barracks sent in a large number of wounded.A few of those who were shot by arrows grinned, but their smiles showed the result of the battle.

Won!
