Seeing that Zhang Qingzhen was beheaded, all the soldiers cheered and cheered. The banquet also started amidst the cheers, and large pieces of roasted golden meat were brought up.
The soldiers were singing and dancing with great joy, especially those of Zhang Hongyu's original troops, who felt as if they had narrowly escaped death.
Before, they were all like Zhang Qing, thinking that if they didn't retreat, they would definitely die. There were also many people who had Zhang Qing's idea, but didn't do it. Now they feel lucky that they didn't do what Zhang Qing did, otherwise they would be killed today. But Zhang Qing was not the only one, but there were heads rolling in.
Luo Zhang did not leave, but celebrated with the soldiers. Although he could not drink alcohol, he could have a big meal, which was a good treatment for the soldiers.
Moreover, Luo Zhang said that when the Tubo people are defeated, he will provide them with good wine and meat, and the wine is highland barley wine, so he will have enough.
The 30,000 people who followed Luo Zhang all knew that Luo Zhang had a Yan Lai Tower, and not everyone could drink the fine wine there.
Being able to drink wine from Yanlailou is like a dream for them, and they are all as happy as children!
Chang'an, the imperial palace, in the imperial study room, Eunuch Huang and Li Junxian were standing at the bottom. A letter from a flying pigeon had just been delivered to the Secret Service.
After Li Junxian saw the letter, he hurried to the palace to meet His Majesty.
Looking at the flying pigeon letter sent by Li Junxian, Li Shimin had a smile on his face.
"This kid Luo Zhang still did not disappoint me. He only brought 30,000 people, but he defeated the Tubo army of hundreds of thousands. He is indeed my lucky general!" Li Shimin put the letter on the table and said with a smile.
"Master Luo, your Majesty will be blessed with this victory!" Huang Eunuch said flatteringly.
Li Shimin smiled and said, "How is the situation in the north?"
Li Junxian hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, Mr. Li Jing has arrived in Dingxiang City with his army and is accepting a large number of refugees. The Western Turks' offensive is very fierce. Now they have captured most of the Eastern Turks' territories. I'm afraid We will launch an attack on Dingxiang City in a few days!"
"The Western Turks are also rampant. The Eastern Turks were recaptured by our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty with their blood. They want to take it away. What a fool's errand!"
"Tell Li Jing to beat me hard. If he can't beat back the Western Turks like Luo Zhang, he will wait to be escorted back!" Li Shimin patted the table and said.
Li Junxian had sweat on his forehead. Although Lord Li Jing was the former military god, now, who doesn't know that Luo Zhang has replaced him.
How difficult it is for him to repel the Western Turks' army like Luo Zhang. It would be good if he could defend Dingxiang City. The Western Turks are not Tubo. Their strength is much stronger than that of Tubo. They can be said to have strong soldiers and horses.
But Li Junxian couldn't say anything. He could only convey His Majesty's will, but he had no right to dissuade him. He could only silently mourn for Li Jing in his heart.
In Dingxiang City, Li Jing had not had a good rest for two days. After he arrived in Dingxiang City, he became busy.
There are really too many Tang people who have fled here. Most of these are Tang people who were moved to the East Turks after the East Turks were captured. Of course, there are also many gentry and children of aristocratic families.
Now that the Western Turks are coming, they naturally have to flee.
Arrangement of these fleeing people was enough for Li Jing to do, and the news about the Western Turks that he received immediately made Li Jing feel uneasy.
There are really too many Western Turks, with a total of 400,000 troops. Such a large number of troops is much larger than the previous Eastern Turks.
And the number of people he brought this time was much smaller than before.
There was no way, this war was too sudden, and there was no time to prepare, and the Western Turks came over.
Even if the Eastern Turks had men and horses left to resist, they were no match for the Western Turks. With one attack, those who resisted suffered heavy casualties and fled in rout!
The only thing that made Li Jing feel gratified was that Luo Zhang gave him ten artillery pieces. With these ten artillery pieces set up on Dingxiang City, he had some confidence in guarding Dingxiang City. Li Jing wanted to come, as long as he guarded Dingxiang City carefully. City, when the reinforcements arrive, he can counterattack!
If Li Jing knew about Luo Zhang's situation, he would definitely curse him and call Luo Zhang a freak!
He has experienced many battles, and he can probably guess what His Majesty is thinking. Once Luo Zhang wins a big victory, he must also show results here. After all, the number of troops he leads is three times that of Luo Zhang. If this is the case Even though he couldn't get any results, Li Jing knew that His Majesty would definitely punish him.
