Datang: Integrate three times the combat power of Lv Bu at the beginning

The only thing that greeted them was the bloody butcher knife in his hand.

"The direction of the white robe is unstoppable!"

Li Chengqian raised Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand, followed by the white-robed army.

Endless evil spirit swept towards the Huitu army, and the morale they had just gathered was washed away at this moment.

clang!clang!clang……

The two armies collided and their swords met.

With only one charge of the white-robed army, the formation of the Huitu army was crushed.

"Li Chengqian!"

Ba Luhe roared and led his army to attack Li Chengqian.

He is the only one who is the most decisive in the entire Huitu army, because he is the only one who is truly willing to die.

However, with such a formidable combat power of the White Robe Army, Baluhe's decision was only to hit a stone with an egg.

soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The red rabbit horse neighed up to the sky, accelerated suddenly, and carried Li Chengqian galloping towards Ba Luhe.

"Unbelievable!"

Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes slightly, and Baluch's movements seemed to be slowed down in his eyes.

just for a moment...

Li Chengqian had already rode his horse past Baluch.

shuh...

Fang Tian swung his halberd, and the crescent blade flashed coldly.

puff……

After five steps of blood spattering, Baluch's head was in a different place, with despair and unwillingness, he fell off his horse.

Li Chengqian didn't stop, let alone show mercy, and led the white-robed army to continue to kill the defeated Turkic army.

Li Chengqian didn't rein in until after chasing for nearly a hundred miles and the night filled the entire Hexi area.

Zhang Xiong rode his horse and rushed to Li Chengqian, "At the end, Zhang Xiong will meet His Royal Highness, and thank His Highness for saving the people of Gaochang from fire and water."

Chapter 372

Li Chengqian waved his hand, "General Zhang is serious, this is what this palace should do, but you, who led the Gaochang Army under the siege of 40 Turkic troops, fought bloody battles without retreating, and thus were able to preserve the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Crossing Gaochang and entering Hexi, the consequences will be disastrous."

Zhang Xiong said: "His Royal Highness praises you, this is all the job of the last general."

"However, it's already dark, and the defeated Turkic army can no longer pursue them. If they encounter mud and quicksand, our army will suffer heavy losses, and the gains outweigh the losses."

He said he was worried.

Li Chengqian nodded, this was also what he was worried about.

What's more, the whole army was already exhausted after a day of bloody battle, and they didn't even bring supplies.

After defeating Tong Yehu, Li Huanlin had no reinforcements, and he couldn't make any waves.

"Withdraw!"

With a wave of Li Chengqian's hand, all the troops quickly retreated.

Soon...

Li Chengqian enters the city.

The people in the city stood on both sides of the street with smiles on their faces, and the soldiers enjoyed the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.

"Congratulations to His Highness the Crown Prince on his triumphant return, long life to His Highness the Crown Prince..."

……

Although it was late at night, none of the people fell asleep. They all cheered and celebrated, welcoming Li Chengqian into the city.

If Li Chengqian hadn't led the army to defeat the Turks and rescue Gaochang, they knew what fate they would face next.

Li Chengqian raised the corners of his mouth and responded with a smile, making the people on both sides feel like a spring breeze.

They couldn't possibly associate this handsome and kind-faced Prince of the Tang Dynasty with the Crown Prince who fought a bloody 40 Turkic army outside the city.

But they knew in their hearts that Li Chengqian loved the people like his son, and his righteousness of taking the world as his own responsibility was definitely not pretending.

Otherwise, how could he personally lead an army of tens of thousands and travel thousands of miles starry night to save the people of Gaochang from fire and water.

Back to the prefect's mansion.

Li Chengqian found a room at random and fell into a deep sleep.

He has been fighting the rebels for more than a month, and he hasn't had a good night's rest. He is really tired.

Not only him, but also the soldiers of the white robe army were extremely exhausted.

Some soldiers fell asleep in the tent before they could take off their armor.

Li Yuan was destroyed, the Turks were defeated, and Tuyuhun was driven out of the Tang Dynasty.

Great victory across the board.

That night, they were finally able to sleep soundly.

The next morning.

The eastern sky is pale.

Li Chengqian was sitting at the head of Gaochang city, holding a bowl of hot porridge, looking at the Han army below the city who were cleaning the battlefield.

Eating porridge and looking at the piled up Turkic corpses that were burned by raging fire, Li Chengqian's eyes showed relief.

The victory finally belongs to Datang.

"Your Highness, you woke up so early."

Zhang Xiong walked up to Li Chengqian and greeted him.

Looking at his bloodshot eyes, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "General Zhang, you have worked hard all night without sleep."

The war is over though.

But cleaning the battlefield is not an easy task.

Corpses, wounded soldiers, horses, burning tents...

There are many things to deal with.

Zhang Xiong replied: "Where is your Highness, this is the job of the general. If you can't even do this little thing well, then the general will really be the governor of Gaochang."

Li Chengqian trusted him very much and took over the power of Gaochang, and he was also extremely loyal to Datang.

Li Chengqian understood his character and continued: "General Zhang, after the Western Turks have been wiped out, this Palace will set up the Anxi Protectorate to take over the military and political power in Gaochang and the areas west of it."

"You have to be prepared to be the governor of the Anxi Protectorate."

Li Chengqian threw a bomb when he opened his mouth.

Zhang Xiong knew how much power the Governor of Anxi Protectorate had.

Zhang Xiong hastily waved his hands and said: "Mother...His Royal Highness, this is absolutely unacceptable."

With just one sentence, he can know how much Li Chengqian trusts him.

"Hehe..." Li Chengqian said with a light smile, "Don't be too happy, it's not that easy."

"You have heard about the rebellion in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, tell me what you think."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiong felt troubled.

"This... will not dare to speculate."

Li Chengqian looked down the city, "It doesn't matter, I forgive you for your innocence, even if you speak freely, the four states rebelled, and the two countries came to attack, I didn't take it to heart, let alone your few words of truth."

Between the words, it is full of calmness.

Zhang Xiong stared blankly at Li Chengqian, admiring him in his heart.

What kind of disposition is it that makes Li Chengqian have such a character.

Set killing and affinity in one.

Mount Tai collapses in front and its color does not change, and the elk walks on the left but its eyes are not in order.

He Wenjin in Yizhou, Liangshi in Yunzhou, Li Yuan, king of Lujiang in Ganzhou, Li Xiaochang, king of Yi'an in Tongzhou, and the Western Turkic and Tuyuhun soldiers sent troops to the frontier, and Tubo was about to move.

In just one month, Li Chengqian was able to turn the tide with a huge inferior force, seize Jiayuguan, kill Li Yuan, and defeat the Western Turks.

What kind of person is this, and what kind of army can he lead to achieve this step.

Paused...

Zhang Xiong said seriously: "The military power of the imperial court is too scattered, and the military power of the local army is too large. The soldiers don't know the imperial court, but only the local generals."

"Moreover, it is not a good thing that local military power and administrative power are in the hands of one person."

"It's no different from a vassal king."

"Military power, political power, patrol envoys, and intelligence systems are indispensable. Every local administrative region must be firmly in the hands of the imperial court. Any troubles must be reported to the imperial court as soon as possible to take corresponding measures. "

"It's not like what it is now, they just killed a few governors and then quickly rebelled. This shows that the imperial court's control over the place is not half as strong as theirs."

He said sharply.

In fact, not only He Wenjin and others, even if Zhang Xiong wanted to sentence Datang Zili, it was only a matter of minutes.

Zhang Xiong took over the military and political power in Gaochang, and Chang'an City was thousands of miles away, far away from the true Emperor of Mountain Gao.

Li Chengqian nodded, "You're right, father trusts those local officials too much, but this is also a helpless move."

Li Shimin has just been on the throne for two years, and many things are still not perfect.

Official reform has just begun.

But the reform of the military system will also be carried out, and there is also an intelligence agency belonging to him.

He wants to keep abreast of the wind and grass anywhere in the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Xiongdao: "However, Your Highness, you have done enough. If there is no inhuman means, how can you settle all these turbulent waves."

"The final general believes that in five years, our Tang Dynasty will be more prosperous, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and will no longer suffer from wind and rain, and starvation."

He recognized Li Chengqian's ability very much.

This is why he would rather Gaochang City be breached than surrender.

He has regarded himself as a Tang person, and has recognized Li Shimin as the emperor and Li Chengqian as the heir apparent.

Chapter 373 Chasing and Killing Tong Yehu

Li Chengqian put the porridge bowl on the top of the wall and stood up.

Still thinking about Zhang Xiong's words in his heart, plans came to his mind one by one.

After returning to Chang'an City, we have to start to do it.

moment……

Li Chengqian continued to Zhang Xiong: "Have you checked the location of the Turkic royal court?"

Compared with Li Huanlin, he still decided to take the Western Turks first. After all, Li Huanlin was already a shackle and couldn't escape.

Zhang Xiong replied: "Check it out, Tong Yehu's lair is at the foot of Mount Lanmi, and that's where the Western Turkic Royal Court is located."

"After yesterday's pursuit, more than 40% of the [-] Turkic army suffered casualties. The remaining remnants who were defeated will definitely bring Tong Yehu to the vicinity of the royal court. Based on the general's understanding of him, within ten days, the Western Turks will definitely migrate on a large scale. , west to the Persian region."

"Persia?" Li Chengqian frowned slightly.

If that's the case, it will be troublesome, and this time we must cut the grass and roots.

If Tong Yehu was allowed to cross the Wushui River and escape to Persia, it would be very difficult to catch him again.

"Yes, it must be Persia." Zhang Xiong said firmly, "Ashina Chacha, the great military adviser beside Tong Yehu, is an extremely stable person. If you go all the way north, the road will be too difficult and the climate will be extremely cold."
