Tang camp.
Li Chengqian received a report from the rear.
The Japanese naval force was crippled by Li Xiaogong.
Hearing the news, Li Chengqian laughed out loud.
"I told Uncle Wang to wait at sea. There will definitely be a big fish taking the bait."
"Sure enough, all the Japanese warships were attracted."
He waved the letter in his hand and said: "Of the more than 300 warships, nearly 200 were sunk, and more than 10,000 soldiers were lost. We have achieved a complete victory in this battle."
Hear this.
Li Tingxue on the side curled her lips and said, "What does that have to do with us? We are still being chased all over the mountain by this pack of water dogs."
She is very unhappy now.
Especially unhappy with Li Chengqian's behavior.
Now, the Japanese army has clearly begun to be defeated on a large scale.
They can also withdraw their troops and leave the remaining people to Silla.
But he still wanted the entire army to pursue the Japanese pirates. Isn't this just making fun of his own reputation?
Now the Liangzhou soldiers who were most loyal to him could not help but complain.
"If you beat a drowned dog with a stick, you must kill him."
"Don't you understand this truth, sister?"
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "And it won't be long before they reach the beach. Where can they run then?"
Hearing this, Li Tingxue snorted coldly.
She said: "I know what you mean, but have you thought about how to solve the morale problem in the army now?"
"With the current morale of the entire army, it is impossible to fight a war."
"If we come into contact with those little dwarfs, we will inevitably suffer losses."
"Let me tell you about Li Chengqian, what we are fighting this time is not the Patriotic War, but fighting for others."
Li Tingxue looked straight at Li Chengqian and said, "Do you really want to watch our soldiers die in a foreign country one after another?"
"I……"
Faced with her aggressiveness, Li Chengqian didn't know how to answer.
In fact, he was now a little hesitant in his heart whether to continue the pursuit.
The reason was the same, mainly because the pursuit took too long.
Not only the generals and soldiers below, but also him felt a little uncomfortable.
Those Japanese soldiers ran like rabbits, so fast that it was scary.
And they could only pursue forward along the tracks they left behind in the destroyed villages.
Only he knows how much he has suffered along the way.
However, since we had already promised to annihilate them all, we must annihilate them all.
This is the goal Li Chengqian set for himself, and it is also the goal he set for many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chengqian said straight away: "No matter what, I will kill these Japanese troops."
"you!"
"You are simply unreasonable!"
Li Tingxue stood up angrily and said, "If you want to chase me, go and chase him yourself."
After saying that, she stood up and walked out of the tent.
And Gao Zhixing also stood up.
He took a deep look at Li Chengqian, then sighed and hurriedly caught up with Li Tingxue.
…
Out of the Chinese military tent.
Gao Zhixing stopped Li Tingxue: "Hongzi, wait for me."
"Why are you following me?"
Li Tingxue turned around and glared at Gao Zhixing with a look of displeasure on her face, and said, "I want to go home, do you want to go back with me too?"
"Let's just be together."
Gao Zhixing chuckled and said: "I just don't want to follow him and continue to be stupid, so you can just treat me as a ride, okay?"
Hearing this, Li Tingxue stopped and said, "If I leave, you will leave too? Are you a follower?"
"Hey, I'm willing to be your follower."
Gao Zhixingjian swished up and stuck to it.
Just when Li Tingxue was about to kick him.
Suddenly I saw a commotion not far away.
Li Tingxue couldn't help but frown, and then walked over there.
When they arrived at the chaotic place, Li Tingxue said directly: "Why are you gathering here if you don't even stand guard?"
I saw Li Tingxue coming.
The old soldiers around him quickly backed away and stood aside.
After they retreated, Li Tingxue saw a six or seven-year-old child suddenly appearing in the crowd.
The child's clothes were ragged, his body was thin, and his face was filthy.
"Why are there children?"
Li Tingxue looked back at the crowd dissatisfied and said, "Who brought him in?"
"Reply to your Majesty."
A soldier said boldly: "This kid came in on his own."
"You came in by yourself?"
Li Tingxue glanced at the soldier and then said, "Send him away, this is not a place for children..."
After hearing this, the soldiers around them looked at each other with complicated expressions.
"Mother, this child's parents are dead and there is nowhere to go."
A soldier said: "How about..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Tingxue spoke.
"What else?"
"This is a military camp, where is the place for the children?"
Li Tingxue frowned and scolded dissatisfiedly: "You guys are all veterans in the army. Do you need me to remind you about this kind of thing?"
Hearing this, the old soldiers didn't even dare to raise their heads.
These people are all from Qianziying and Zuoyiwei.
In their minds, Li Tingxue's intimidating power was much greater than that of Li Chengqian.
After all, although Li Chengqian has a high status, he has a very good temper, especially when he treats them, he is basically friendly and kind.
But Li Tingxue's temperament was such that he would hit or punish him whenever he wanted. How could they not be afraid?
But at this moment, I saw these old soldiers being scolded for helping me.
The child timidly said in half-baked Chinese: "Sister, please stop scolding them, I'm leaving now..."
After saying that, the kid turned around and left.
But he didn't notice that Li Tingxue's body trembled when his sister called out.
She was a sister to many.
But after that incident, Li Chengqian was the only brother left.
And the only one left calling her sister was Li Chengqian.
Sister, these two words may not mean anything to others.
But the meaning to Li Tingxue is extraordinary.
She glanced at the child, still with a cold face: "Kid, stop right there."
After hearing this, the child stood there stunned.
He turned around and looked at Li Tingxue with confusion on his face.
Li Tingxue raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you hungry?"
The child shook his head and said, "My uncles have given me a lot of food."
Hearing this, Li Tingxue was a little embarrassed.
She cleared her throat, turned around, glared at Gao Zhixing, and kicked him.
Gao Zhixing also looked helpless.
He also knew that Li Tingxue asked him to come forward.
What else can Gao Zhixing say?
He would not hesitate to do what Li Tingxue asked him to do, even if it meant going up a mountain of swords and into a sea of fire.
He walked straight forward and said, "Child, do you want to stay?"
The child glanced at the old soldiers, then nodded, then shook his head.
"What do you mean by nodding and shaking your head again?"
Gao Zhixing was amused by this guy's appearance.
He said: "I ask you if you want to stay and join us to kill the Japanese pirates and avenge your parents?"
The child didn't hesitate at all and said: "I want to!"
