Sujue began to retreat in an orderly manner. Behind him was the army of Guderian, the most confidant of Jieli Khan's left capital.
Of course, this latest suggestion is just Jieli's own idea.
Looking at Guderian, Liu Chunpeng felt a little embarrassed.
"Isn't he already loyal to our lord? If we attack him, it may be counterproductive and make him return to the embrace of the Turks again. We can only go past him and set up an ambush in the front to make the Turks pay a price. The Tang Dynasty is not what they want to do. Come on, you can leave if you want."
Liu Chunpeng and his men were hurrying here to set up traps. Liu Xiaopeng also led his men to catch up with Guderian and infiltrated into Guderian's army, where he was looking for Guderian.
Soon Liu Xiaopeng found Guderian who was unhappy there.
"General Guderian, please be polite."
Suddenly hearing a sentence in Chinese, Guderian shivered in fright. He turned around and saw a Han face, but it was a man wearing Turkic armor talking to him.
Guderian hurriedly greeted, "I wonder who this gentleman is?"
"So that Mr. Guderian will know that I am under Captain Xu, and I have been ordered to come to find the magistrate of Yanmen County. I wonder if Mr. Guderian can help me?"
"Magistrate of Yanmen Pass? Oh, I know! When withdrawing his troops, Jieli Khan once said that he had conquered several cities, one of which was Yanmen Pass.
In Yanmen County, a lot of people who had not had time to evacuate were indeed captured and planned to be taken back as slaves. I could only ask.
Let’s see if there is a Yanmen County magistrate. If so, I will ask him to come over and let Zunshi take him away. How about that? "
Liu Xiaopeng nodded, "Very good, we are waiting to bring back the Yanmenguan County Magistrate. We don't want him to have any problems if he serves the Magistrate so faithfully."
As for the fact that Xu Guichang, the magistrate of Yanmen County, would die for his country, they asked many surviving Yanmen people.
They only knew that the county magistrate Xu Guichang, a powerless scholar, still resolutely picked up weapons and went to the city to garrison when the Turks attacked the city. In the end, it seemed that he was captured alive by the Turks.
Guderian was operating here, looking for many leaders of small tribes, and under the pretext of finding some literate Han slaves who could read and write, to replace Xu Guichang, the magistrate of Yanmen County, he got Li Li, the Turkic leader who had returned from camp.
Jing has already reported all the battle reports to Li Yuan and is waiting for Li Yuan's order.
In Chang'an City, because of the invasion of Jie Li's army, the court was divided into several factions.
Prince Li Jiancheng kept begging for orders, "Father, I will take some troops to support the North. Our Tang army in the North has been wiped out. If we don't go to support the North and let the Turks advance straight in, even if Li Jing If we finally stop the Turks, we will suffer heavy losses."
Li Jiancheng went out to ask for orders, and Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction. He was about to arrange for the army to go out with Li Jiancheng, but Li Shimin also went out.
"Father, how could the crown prince of the Crown Prince get involved in such a dangerous situation, and ask my father to let his ministers lead the troops? My father also knows the achievements of his ministers, and he will never lose his father's face, let alone this northern country. The Turks invade the border, and the prince has never fought against the Turks, only from our people. He is a little ignorant of the situation, so he still asks his father to allow his ministers to go on an expedition."
Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng were fighting for the right to lead the troops here. Li Yuan looked at the many civil servants and generals below who were constantly divided into two groups, one supporting Li Jiancheng and the other supporting Li Shimin. He sighed, and while he was studying what to do, a Send urgent battle reports.
"Eight hundred miles urgent! General Li has sent a battle report."
Hearing that the eight hundred miles were urgent, Pei Ji stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, let's read the battle report first and then make a decision. Is that okay?"
After hearing Pei Ji's words, Li Yuan finally stopped worrying about who to send to the expedition and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, let's take a look at the battle report first to see how critical the battle situation is."
Immediately, the battle report was sent to the court by the ordering soldiers. After Pei Ji took it, he read it aloud there.
Listening to the victory over the Turks in four battles, Li Yuan stroked his beard and laughed, "As expected of Li Jing and Pharmacist Li. He has such courage. Four battles and four victories have made the Tang Dynasty powerful. Jie Li did not rely on his large number of soldiers to make Guang the enemy of the Tang Dynasty." Really? I didn’t expect to lose the fourth battle and defeat more than 40,000 main troops. I have nothing to worry about in the North."
After Li Yuan said this, Pei Ji continued, "Your Majesty, the Holy Might! The main force of the Turks has been defeated. Other small tribes have returned to protect Jieli as he returns to the north. There is no need to worry about the north."
Just after these people studied here that there were no local problems, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin felt proud.
"Look at how Xu Yunyan under me is so good at fighting. He made a huge breakthrough when he was under Liu Heitai.
The Turkic army led by Jue Tuli is now the vanguard and has defeated Jieli in four battles and four victories. With such a fierce general, how can you compete with me in the future? "
"The Female CEO's Almighty Soldier"
Just as they were thinking like this here, Li Yuan looked at the memorial and said, "Since the Turks in the North have been destroyed, let General Li temporarily garrison and come back after the new troops and horses are deployed."
After Li Yuan spoke, everyone kept talking about Li Yuan Shengming. There was no need to fight over who was going to be eliminated, but this battle needed a good reward.
Pei Ji spoke again, "Your Majesty, since this battle is over, do you want to reward me based on your merits?"
Li Yuan nodded, "Based on the reported battle merits, the Ministry of War will discuss a case of reward based on merit. We will discuss it at the next court meeting. If there are no problems, it will be implemented."
The consistent practice is that the Ministry of War proposes how to reward Li Yuan and then implements it according to the regulations. It is rare that Li Yuan directly decides how to reward military achievements.
Just when Li Yuan asked the Ministry of War to discuss the distribution of military exploits and dismissed the court meeting, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin kept getting excited here.
Although Xu Yunyan couldn't run away for the first time. But there are still cronies of the two people in this army. At least you have to find a similar way out for them so that your power can be more secure.
However, Xu Yunyan, Li Jing and others did not know these things.
As for the Northland, after the war ended, they began to arrange their troops according to the actual situation in the Northland, and they were extremely busy.
Just when everything was going in the right direction, Liu Xiaopeng, who finally found Xu Guichang in the Turkic camp, was really in a bit of a dilemma.
Looking at the decadent Xu Guichang, Liu Xiaopeng squatted in front of him.
"Magistrate Xu, we meet again."
Hearing this long-lost Chinese language, Xu Guichang raised his head and was shocked to see General Liu who had conveyed orders to him.
"You, you actually surrendered to the Turks! You spineless people are worse than us literati. We still know how to fight to the death, but you soldiers actually surrendered."
Xu Guichang pointed at Liu Xiaopeng and cursed. Liu Xiaopeng didn't say anything. Instead, he spoke awkwardly.
"Isn't this a coincidence?"
"Coincidence! You know this kind of clever talker. You are capable of dying on the battlefield and serving the king, but you actually surrendered. I am really blind to know someone like you."
