After the army galloped for a day, Xu Yunyan and Yuchi Gong finally took Yuchi Gong's soldiers and horses to escort the supplies to the military camp where Li Jing was located in the North.
Looking at this military camp in a hidden valley hundreds of miles away from the border, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but feel shocked.
Is this the position Li Jing chose to attack Dingxiang?
A hundred miles north of here is Dingxiang City, and Jieli is now in Dingxiang City.
When his subordinates reported that Xu Yunyan and Yuchi Gong had arrived, Li Jing behaved like a general and didn't go out to greet them at all. Who knew that he was not just a simple general now, but he was also deposing the envoy on behalf of the marching general? The title of the series also takes the emperor on a tour of the local area.
As word spread, Xu Yunyan and Yu Chigong entered the military camp and looked at the talented generals in the military tent in the military camp. Yuchi Gong was familiar with everyone and greeted them here, but Xu Yunyan could not be like him. So casual, just give a fist salute here.
"General Xu Yunyan, the last general Yunhui, was ordered to escort supplies to the north. He has now completed his special mission and came to the general to return."
After Xu Yunyan said something, Li Jing nodded and asked about the types and quantities of his supplies. Although it was a bit routine, there was still no shortage of what should be there. But we couldn't allow people to cause more trouble at this juncture. Xu Yunyan was The leader of a strange army chosen by Li Jing.
With material supplies in hand, Li Jing felt even more satisfied when he saw the energetic army brought by Yu Chigong.
After a simple welcome ceremony, the whole army was rewarded and prepared to complete their achievements in one battle. The attack on Jieli allowed the Turks to completely withdraw from the stage in this historical trend.
Seeing that this date was still half a month away from the Spring Festival, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Is this going to change history? Instead of waiting until after the Chinese New Year to launch the Northern Expedition against the Turks, we should attack now with strong troops and strong horses, having already defeated the Turks and cut off the Turks' arm?
Xu Yunyan thought like this and couldn't help but shake his head and smile. His appearance has changed a lot. Do you still care about this?
In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was dim and the sky was bright, the drums and drums sounded in the military camp.
Although the drum beat was crisp but majestic, Xu Yunyan had already neatly dressed and quickly arrived at the Chinese army's tent.
Li Jing was sitting on the main cabinet in armor. A confidant guard next to him was holding a battle sword that Li Shimin had used. Standing behind him was a look like "I am very powerful. If you dare to mess with me, this sword is not a joke." The playful look left everyone speechless.
However, although he was speechless at the stern-faced guard, he still stood at his position step by step. When Li Jing saw everyone coming, he immediately started to pull out the command arrows on the table and began to arrange the tasks.
"Li Shiji leads the troops..."
"Chai Shao leads the troops..."
"Changsun Shunde leads the troops..."
After a series of orders, Li Jing took charge of the central army and led Yu Chigong, Zhang Gongjin and Xu Yunyan, along with the troops and horses they commanded, plus Wuyuan, Yunzhong and Yanmen. The assembled troops and horses headed towards Dingxiang.
Soon, more than 100,000 Tang troops were divided into several groups to attack Dingxiang, preparing to catch Jie Li in one fell swoop. Xu Yunyan's guard squad, Li Jing, followed Li Jing's marching arrangements and acted as a messenger here.
However, Li Jing did not arrange anything for Xu Yunyan, but instead asked him here.
"You went to Dingxiang some time ago, do you have the guts to do it again now? This time, you will bring some people to serve as internal responders. When we attack Dingxiang City, we will open the Dingxiang City Gate from inside the city."
After Li Jing said this, Xu Yunyan directly clasped his fists.
"How dare you, the late general! I will do anything for the sake of the great Tang Dynasty."
This Li Jing's order is very dangerous. If you don't do it right, you may be chopped into pieces by the Turks in Dingxiang City.
But it is true as Li Jing said, if a cavalry is ambushed in Dingxiang City and the Dingxiang City Gate is opened at the right time, it will be very beneficial to the Tang army.
However, after Xu Yunyan agreed, Yuchi Gong was shocked.
"General, is this inappropriate?"
After Yuchi Gong finished speaking, he hurriedly scolded Xu Yunyan, "How can you say that you are also the general of Yunhui and the Marquis of Yunxian County? Are you going to take such a risk?"
Just when Yuchi Gong said a few words, Zhang Gongjin pulled him from the side, and Li Jing didn't give him any good looks.
"What does it matter if a prince of the Tang Dynasty takes risks for me? Have you forgotten Luo Shixin?"
As soon as Li Jing said the three words "Luo Shixin", Yuchi Gong hurriedly lowered his head here, while Zhang Hongjin looked as if this was indeed the case.
Although Luo Shixin was not a member of the Li Tang clan, let alone a prince, he was a Duke of the country, and he was also the general manager of the army. His status was much higher than that of generals like them.
Compared with this Northern Expedition to the Turks, in the army comparison, he was only second to Li Jing. Even the clan princes Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong, etc. had to obey his orders.
After such a person was mentioned by Li Jing, no one had the courage to stay here to refute Li Jing.
A military commander like Luo Shixin could die in battle, let alone General Yunhui, a Marquis?
After Xu Yunyan agreed to Li Jing, although everyone looked at Xu Yunyan with a little regret, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but laugh when he saw the scene had a sad atmosphere.
"Generals, the young man will go to Dingxiang City to repair it first for this achievement. When the generals attack the city, the young man will open the city gate and join the generals inside and outside."
Xu Yunyan said it very lightly, but everyone couldn't help but sigh when they saw him like this.
This not only sighs that Xu Yunyan does not care about entering Dingxiang City, but also sighs here that it is possible that this moment will be a farewell.
However, after Xu Yunyan changed the subject, Li Jing said here, "Since you have already made a plan, then choose the right people in the army. The whole army will come down from you. You can choose all the people at will."
Li Jing's words made Xu Yunyan's eyes shine.
"Okay Master, I'll help you attack Dingxiang City as soon as possible and eliminate Jieli."
Xu Yunyan handed over his hand and retreated towards the back of the team. He wanted to see the one in the team who looked similar to the Turks. It would be more perfect if he could say a few delusional words.
With this thought, Xu Yunyan quickly galloped through the army, but as he galloped, he discovered two figures who should not be here.
Xu Yunyan looked at the two people with their heads lowered in front of him.
"You two were not in the East Palace accompanying His Royal Highness. When did you come to this army?"
The people in front of Xu Yunyan were Xue Li and Wang Ergou. Xue Li and Wang Ergou lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Xu Yunyan. However, Xu Yunyan was still here asking questions. In the end, the two had no choice but to talk here.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince kindly allowed us to study the art of war and teach military formations in the East Palace. However, the two of us have no official status and do not have much merit. How can we enjoy so much in the Crown Prince's East Palace? It will be criticized!
What's more, how big a splash can our two teams make? "
Yes, Xue Li and Wang Ergou are no longer the top soldiers. Now because of their meritorious service in escorting the auspicious seeds, and Li Chengqian's care for Xu Yunyan, they were promoted to the rank of pro-honor team captain.
The two of them can be regarded as the two youngest captains in the history of the Tang Army.
Qinxun is not comparable to Zhechongfu. The Qinxun team is on the same level as the brigade commander of Zhechongfu.
After the two men took office as captains, they heard that Xu Yunyan was escorting supplies to the North, and they came to Yuchi Gong's army. In any case, they finally let Yuchi Gong stay.
This was because Yuchi Gong kept him because of Li Jing. Who told Yuchi Gong to see Xue Li in the courtyard when he went to visit Li Jing?
Now that he saw Xue Li and Wang Ergou here this time, Xu Yunyan stopped expressing any emotion, and he would not let the two of them act with him. This ancient name would make him accidentally fall into Dingxiang City. What should Datang do?
Without such a general, it's like if there is a fault among the generals, big trouble will happen.
Xu Yun
Yan sighed with emotion here and after passing the two of them, he continued to inquire among the team, and soon found ten soldiers who looked a bit like Turks and could speak a few words of Turkic dialect.
Xu Yunyan was very satisfied when he saw them. After asking a few questions for them to translate, he nodded happily.
"Yes, you guys will follow me, but this time I have a narrow escape. I hope you are mentally prepared."
Although what Xu Yunyan said here was still an understatement, these people also laughed here without hesitation.
"General, it is the best choice for us soldiers to die in battle. Even if we have a narrow escape from death, or even ten deaths, if we fight against the Turks, we will follow the general without any regrets."
A soldier said this, which surprised the two people behind him.
"General?"
You heard this familiar voice, Xu Yunyan turned his head and looked at Wang Ergou and Xue Li.
"How come you two are here again when you are not marching in the procession? Go back quickly. If you are still messing around here, how will you handle it if something happens?"
Xue Li and Wang Ergou are here to accompany Xu Yunyan.
"General, we didn't mean it. We just hope that the general can take us on the battlefield together. For no other reason than that, we can't lose your face, general, right?"
Wang Ergou said this, and Xu Yunyan couldn't help but sigh.
"Didn't I say it? You two are not suitable!"
"What is appropriate and inappropriate?"
Xue Li immediately said, "If the general goes ahead, why don't we follow him together? What should we do if the general's actions are exposed?"
Xu Yunyan couldn't help but change his face when he heard this, "What do you want to do? Don't obey orders and do whatever you want? You still want to be a general. I don't think you are suitable for the army. If you don't obey orders, I can expel you now." .”
Xu Yunyan said such words sternly here, Xue Li and Wang Ergou lowered their heads directly.
"We were wrong, we didn't dare anymore, we will go back now."
Although the two of them went back, Xu Yunyan felt relieved and quickly rushed towards Dingxiang in the dark with the ten selected people. However, they did not notice that these two little guys followed quietly from behind. .
After Yuchi Gong and his troops set up camp, Yuchi Gong inspected the camp and wanted to remind Li Jing, the last disciple Xue Li, to be careful and avoid any accidents. When he looked around and couldn't find him, Yuchi Gong couldn't help scratching his head. .
Although Yuchi Gong didn't know the reason, his soldiers knew about it and told Yuchi Gong about Xue Li and Wang Ergou secretly following Xu Yunyan.
"This senior brother took his junior brother away when he had a mission. He was taking too much care of his own people. If I had known this, I would have asked my brat to follow him."
Although Yu Chigong said this, he still thought about it again, what if this mission failed and was taken over?
