This time, the Turks collapsed.
It also caused the finally unified front cooperation between the families to begin to collapse.
It would take hundreds of years to make amends.
However, there is no other way.
There is nothing we can do...
If the Li family of Zhao County were not pushed out, the five surnames, Qi Wang, and other large and small aristocratic families would probably be uprooted by Li Shimin.
The anger in Northern Xinjiang must be let out.
"hiss……."
The head of the Li family in Longxi took a deep breath.
His breathing was a little quick.
"An army of 400,000, Jieli Khan, are you really all pig-minded?!"
"Even if I were to fight, there would be no such result!"
When the head of the Li family in Longxi thought about this, he couldn't help but cursed angrily.
The pressure from the family is about to rise.
With the destruction of the Li family in Zhaojun, the secular path will completely change.
This is an ancient family that is one of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes!
no.
We must kill Li Shimin with one blow!
Can't delay!
The head of the Li family in Longxi knew very well that if things continued, their fate would be similar to that of the Li family in Zhaojun in the near future.
But what to do?
His head was about to burst.
Cracked!

Imperial College.
Yu Shinan's pace was so hurried.
Kong Yingda is reading a book.
"Go far, go far!"
"It's confirmed, it's confirmed, it's confirmed! The Tang Dynasty has won, the Tang Dynasty has really won, hahaha..."
Yu Shinan put the battle report copied down directly on the desk.
Kong Yingda was confused.
confirmed?
He had heard the news about Datang's victory before, but this result was still accompanied by many doubts, but now...
He narrowed his eyes.
Scanned quickly.
then.
For a moment, there was a long silence.
After a long time, he took a long breath.
"good!
"
He shouted lowly.
.………….…….
Yunzhou City.
Li Jing, Zhang Liang, and Hou Junji have also arrived as reinforcements.
Li Jing started from Chang'an and went directly north, without stopping all the way, straight to Yunzhou City.
Zhang Liang and Hou Junji, on the other hand, took a detour.
By coincidence, the two of them arrived at the Lord's Mansion of Yunzhou City on the same day.
Li Jing listened to everyone's reports and really didn't know what to say.
He originally thought that his journey would be full of misfortunes, and he would definitely have to break through all the checkpoints to reach Yunzhou City.
But he didn't expect that this journey would be far beyond his expectation.
When he arrived at the place where Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde were stationed, Li Jing thought they were still there, but he didn't expect that they were nowhere to be seen.
Then he became even more anxious, so he couldn't rest and continued heading north.
When he arrived at Yunzhou City and looked at the countless flags of the Tang Dynasty floating on the city wall, his heart felt completely relaxed.
Then, Li Ji and others went out of the city and welcomed them in.
“This… Phew… I have to say, God bless me, the Tang Dynasty!
"
Li Jing raised the wine glass and drank it without any explanation.
"ah!
"
He took a long breath and continued: "I didn't stop at all along the way. I was really anxious, but I never expected that the final ending would be so... so wonderful!
"
"Okay, okay! I can't find those mysterious armies, so that's all. They are our benefactors of the Tang Dynasty. We really owe it to them!"
"If it weren't for them, this Yunzhou City would really not be able to be saved."
"There is also Chang'an behind, I am afraid that it will also face a disaster. Okay! Okay! Okay!
"
Li Jing said hello three times.
"Yes, this time, our Yunzhou City is really lucky, hahaha..."
"Come on, pharmacist, General Zhang, General Hou, let's raise a glass together. This time, I also want to thank you all for your hard work."
"The Turks have been defeated, and we, the Tang Dynasty, can really sit back and relax!"
Li Ji raised his glass again.
"Yeah, come on, come on, drink, drink, drink, today, we brothers must drink till we get drunk!
"Cheng Yaojin shouted.
"Yes, pharmacist, please!" Qin Qiong smiled.
Zhang Liang was extremely excited.
The dark face was flashing with red light.
He had drank several large bowls just now, and he was really excited and a little bit high.
However, Hou Junji on one side looked a little unhappy, but he could only force a smile in front of everyone.
Turks, lost.
He never expected it.
Along the way, they really tried their best to delay their march, otherwise they wouldn't have left so many days earlier than Li Jing and finally arrived together.
Even if they took a detour, this reason would not be justified.
after all.
Everyone knows the urgency of Yunzhou City. Even if we take a detour and count the days, we have to arrive two or three days ago.
But now, no one dwells too much on this.
When he led the army to Yunzhou City, he had already thought that he would lead the army directly to the Turks.
When the time comes, we will go south together, go straight to Chang'an, and welcome Li Tai to the throne.
He even thought about killing Zhang Liang if he remained stubborn.
But…….
The final result made him dumbfounded. To be honest, when he came in, looking at the cheers of the people of the Tang Dynasty on both sides, Hou Junji's mind went blank.
He really couldn't imagine how the Turkic army of 400,000 people could not even defeat a small Yunzhou city.
I have already given them the defense map of Northern Xinjiang.
There are also all kinds of intelligence information. The Tang Guards really have no privacy at all, and they are simply hiding themselves in front of the Turks.
After all this, you still lose so miserably?
Even Jieli Khan was captured alive.
Damn it!
Hou Junji couldn't accept it.
Sitting here now, his head is confused, his heart is extremely troubled, and he doesn't know what to do.
】
Disaster.!
Disaster!
Disaster!
He is panicking!
I’m really panicking!
If the matter is exposed, then he will really be completely defeated and his reputation will be ruined.
hiss…….
Hou Junji finished the wine in the bowl.
Didn't feel any taste at all.
His heart is not on this at all.
"Pharmacist, His Majesty's order from yesterday has arrived. He wants our master to return to the court and bring all Jieli Khan and others back to Chang'an. Hahaha... I don't know when we will leave."
Li Ji put down the wine bowl in his hand, wiped his mouth happily, and smiled.
This edict is a one-horse ride, which is still much faster than the rapid march of the army.
Li Jing let out a heavy breath after hearing this.
He glanced back, looking at the sky outside the door.
"This... I think it's better to go back to Chang'an as soon as possible and tell His Majesty, so that the people of the world can feel at ease."
"However, the soldiers I lead still have to rest for two or three days. If we go back in a hurry this way without rest, I'm afraid the soldiers won't be able to hold on."
Li Jing said in a deep voice.
"Okay, if that's the case, then we'll set off back to Chang'an in three days! Hahaha..."
Li Ji laughed.
He refilled the glass.
"Come on, do it!"
In the city lord's mansion, there was bright laughter, everyone was excited and wild.
Outside the city, the people were singing and dancing.
Ever since the war ended, Yunzhou City has been in a state of carnival, non-stop.
However, there are still a few people in Yunzhou City who are worried.
Hou Junji is one of them.
…….…….…….
time flies.
Not to mention carnival days.
The three days of rest were fleeting.
On this day, people inside and outside Yunzhou City were all standing.
One after another, the dragon carriages holding Jieli Khan, Tuli Khan, and Shiwei Khan were imprisoned, drove out of the prison, and slowly left Yunzhou City under heavy military suppression.
Target, Chang'an!
Li Ji, Li Jing, Qin Qiong and others were riding horses. They were no longer nervous as before. Instead, they were all relaxed and happy.
This time, Datang really eliminated the instability in northern Xinjiang. Even if Yunzhou City does not have a single soldier now, it is extremely safe.
"This Yunzhou City, Shiji, you are really powerful. In just three years, you have turned a small border town into a giant city guarding the background."
"I admire you, I really admire you!"
Li Jing looked at the majestic city and said with genuine conviction.
Li Ji smiled.
"This is all due to His Majesty and the cooperation of the Ministry of War over the years. My ability is only this. Besides, this victory of Yunzhou City really has little to do with me."
"If it had been anyone else, the result would have been the same."
"What should be appreciated are the people here and the soldiers here. Of course, the most important thing is the mysterious army."
Li Ji said.
Li Jing chuckled.
"Shiji, what you said... you are too humble about yourself."
"By the way, is there any news about that mysterious army these days? Is it possible... that they really disappeared in northern Xinjiang?"
Li Jing asked.
Qin Qiong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, who does that army belong to? We don't know the details of such a force. This... is somewhat of a threat to us, the Tang Dynasty. .”
Li Ji nodded.
"Second Brother Qin, you are right."
"But, I really asked the scouts to search everywhere, and even Liang Guo searched, but still no trace of them was found."
"However, we did know a secret, that is, this large army had been hiding in the Liang Kingdom before joining the war. When we went to the Liang Kingdom, Liang Shidu and the others had long been killed by this large army. .”
"Now, the Liang Kingdom has also been returned to the Tang Dynasty. Now, with Liang City and Yunzhou City, it has become a corner. The situation of our Northern Territory of the Tang Dynasty has been completely stabilized."
"Huh... No matter how you say it, this time, I really have to thank these troops."
"I, Li Ji, will never forget it in my life!"
"When I come back from Chang'an, I will find a place in northern Xinjiang to build a temple and erect a monument for His Highness, and he will forever protect our land in the Tang Dynasty!
"
Li Ji straightened his back, looked at the scorching sun that had just risen in front of him, and his voice was extremely energetic.
Li Jing nodded.
Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde listened to this, looked at each other, then looked at Li Jing, and frowned slightly.
Their hearts are still filled with tears.
Not for anything else, just because I learned about the situation from everyone’s mouths in the past few days.
Those troops and the clothes they wore were extremely domineering.
And the means of attack are also extremely special.
They have a secret killer move, which is to attract thunder from the sky.
Many soldiers have confirmed this.
It was precisely because of this huge killing move that the Turkic army of 400,000 people completely collapsed.
Qin Qiong and the others really don't know who this mysterious army is.
But the more they thought about this attack method, the more they felt it was more similar to what they saw in the palace of Prince Chu.
This thing is carved out of the same mold.
If it has nothing to do with it, they really don't believe it.
Li Ji talked with a few people, and then rode forward to give instructions to various sergeants.
Hou Junji followed him in the cage, his face was very ugly, and he didn't know what he was planning.
Zhang Liang followed the team from a distance and guarded the rear of the army.
"This mysterious army is really powerful. From what they said, it's like gods coming down to earth."
"Huh... It's a pity that I didn't see it with my own eyes. It's really a pity."
Li Jing sighed.
Qin Qiong and the three of them looked at each other and slowly gathered around.
"Pharmacist, we have discovered something about this mysterious army. I don't know if you want to listen."
Qin Qiong looked around and saw that there were only the four of them here, so she didn't hide it any more.
After all, all four of them knew about the affairs of King Chu's Courtyard.
This matter is no small matter.
When we get to Chang'an, we will definitely report to His Majesty personally.
In this way, they thought of telling Li Jing first. After all, Li Jing was the minister of the Ministry of War and held a high position, so they could discuss it and avoid unnecessary disaster...
This matter is really too serious.
If it is really the army of King Chu, then...
OK!
"Huh? Found the mysterious army?!"
Li Jing asked immediately after hearing this.
Qin Qiong breathed out and shook his head.
"No."
"However, we feel that this mysterious army may...may have something to do with His Highness the King of Chu."
Qin Qiong lowered his voice and said in a deep voice.
Li Jing:!
!
!
When he heard this, he pulled the reins in his hand violently. Because of the suddenness, the horse's front hooves were raised and it stopped in place.
Li Jing's eyes widened.
Staring directly at the three of them.
For an instant, his breathing seemed to be sealed.
What the hell? !
He couldn't believe it!
How did the investigation end up with His Highness the King of Chu? !
this…….
No matter what he thought, this mysterious army could not be related to the King of Chu.
yes!
The King of Chu is usually very wise, but how old is His Highness the King of Chu?
Some wisdom, some talent and learning, although they are horrified, they can accept it to some extent.
However, this mysterious army...
My mother!
If nothing else, how did His Highness King Chu train him?
These days, he inquired about the past of the battle and talked for a long time with the fortress soldiers.
It can be understood to some extent that the abilities of the mysterious army are top-notch, completely surpassing the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
Cooperate!
Tactics!
Horsemanship!
effort!
Even weapons!
