The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 349

Xu Tian only wanted to open a simple academy in the Congling Mountains, but he didn't expect to have to take charge of military affairs. He then walked to the side and picked up a calligraphy brush.

"Youzhou is located east of Congling County. If they want to attack Youzhou, it will take them a day."

We will gather over 40,000 troops from the Anxi Protectorate and the Northern Protectorate in the north to defend the east; it will only take an hour.

Upon hearing this, Qin Xian glanced at Xu Tian, ​​then immediately turned and left.

Dongfang Tingyun said from the side, "Master Xu, would you like me to help you change into your armor?"

Dongfang Tingyun, a teacher in the rear, had never seen such a war scene before. He stammered and asked a question, his expression still somewhat bewildered.

A smile flashed across Xu Tian's eyes, then he placed the teacup on the table and shook his head.

"If this battle really can't be fought, then you will come with me. Stay close to me."

At that moment, a deep horn sounded in their ears. The horn sounded very distant, as if it came from the far north, from the distant horizon.

Xu Tian narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that the Western Turks can't wait any longer and are assembling their army."

Dongfang Tingyun immediately said, "How do you know, Master? I didn't hear it just now."

Xu Tian simply said, "The horn I just remembered is the Turkic command horn, three long and one short. Steward, prepare the carriage; we'll go and meet with the Western Turkic Khan, Jili."

Seeing his master speak so calmly, and noticing that Master Dongfang's face had turned extremely pale, the steward hurriedly went to hitch up the carriage.

Xu Tian's carriage rumbled across the grassland, and soon the sound of horses' hooves could be heard from behind, growing louder and louder like thunder.

At this moment, Qin Xian, wearing a silver dragon armor, led 24,000 soldiers from the Anxi Protectorate to catch up from behind.

Dongfang Tingyun then tied up the carriage curtain and saw plumes of dust rising from the southwest. The vanguard banner was none other than the banner of the Great Tang Dynasty, and he was overjoyed.

"Master Xu, Generals Zhao, Qian, and Sun are also leading 20,000 soldiers from the Northern Border Protection Prefecture toward this place."

Seeing the sight of thousands of horses galloping by, Xu Tian did not feel any surge of excitement.

Xu Tian believed that Master Dongfang next to him was also not, because the sound of ten thousand horses galloping was too loud, almost deafening.

The sound grew closer, and Dongfang Tingyun and Xu Tian, ​​sitting in the car, seemed to be performing a physical comedy.

Soon their carriages were surrounded by these soldiers, if they hadn't known that these soldiers had been brought in.

Seeing so many ancient people riding horses, Xu Tian almost fainted.

Qin Xian immediately said, "Grand Turkic army is almost fully assembled. If we don't hurry, we may not have time to form ranks."

Xu Tian nodded, cursing in his heart, and of course, he actually said it out loud.

"Damn it, how can we be impressive if we're slower than them?"

Xu Tian immediately climbed out of the carriage, but the strong north wind made him cough twice. Looking at Dongfang Tingyun, he was in an even worse state, shivering like a little chick in the north wind, his face pale, as if he could faint on the spot.

Xu Tian looked at the vast army in front of him and immediately said, "Help me onto my horse."

Seeing Xu Tian struggling to mount his horse, the butler sighed and said, "Master, please don't try to be a hero. Just ride a horse! You can ride a horse, right?"
