Great Tang Southern Emperor

"Look, Your Highness, isn't there news?" Li Ergou spread his hands and smiled.

"I'm not really worried about Chief Manager. What I'm worried about is Xue Rengui." Li Zhen said, "It's been a day and two nights. Why hasn't there been any news? I'm really worried."

"There is no way around this. General Xue's task of intercepting and killing Jieli has a mission goal. Unlike the chief executive, no matter what the final result is, as long as the entire army is not wiped out, it is not considered a loss. The nature of the two is different. Same." Li Ergou comforted: "Your Highness, don't worry, don't even think about it, how can Jieli run? He has a chasing horse for thousands of miles, and he is familiar with the grassland environment. If he sincerely wants to run and catch It's not easy for him."

"Report!" As soon as A Lai's test was completed, another small school rushed into Li Zhen's camp with a command flag on his back: "Report to Your Highness, General Xue has a report."

As he said that, he presented a sealed envelope. Judging by the uniform of this small school, it was a member of the personal guards. It should be Xue Rengui who sent someone to summon him.

"You see? Isn't this here?" Li Ergou took the envelope and asked the principal to go down to rest. He himself checked that the wax was intact and found no poison, so he took out the letter and handed it to Li Zhen.

"Okay, hahaha, Jieli, Jieli, I think you really have to be in my hands this time, hahaha." After reading Xue Rengui's memorial, Li Zhen laughed out loud.

"Your Highness, what did you say in the letter?" Seeing Li Zhen smiling so happily, Li Ergou couldn't help asking curiously. In fact, he broke the rules with this question, because he was only Li Zhen's personal bodyguard. He didn't hold a job, so logically speaking, he was not qualified to watch it, but now after all, no outsiders were present, so he just asked a question.

"Oh, Rengui said that he had found Xieli's trail and bit his tail, but there are more than 1 elites around Xieli. He didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only follow slowly, but he let me Don't worry, because the number of people around Xieli is gradually decreasing. According to the information provided by his tongue, Xieli's prestige seems to have been hit, and the supplies are not sufficient, so just give him a period of time, seven days at most, He can guarantee to capture Xieli alive." Li Zhen handed the letter to Li Ergou, it is not a secret, there is nothing that should not be seen by others, and Li Ergou is his own bodyguard, not an outsider, this attribute also It's not a secret, it doesn't hurt to let him see it.And most importantly, Li Ergou is actually illiterate

"Look, I'll just tell you, it's definitely fine." Li Ergou didn't read the letter paper at all (actually he didn't know how to read), and said proudly: "Your guess is right, Your Highness is Pure carelessness, with the abilities of General Xue and General Fang, there is nothing in the world that they cannot accomplish."

"Okay, I know you have a bright eye, so don't brag about them. It's better to be too careful." Li Zhen couldn't see it, didn't he just get it right once?As for being so embarrassing?Is there anything they can't do?Xue Rengui had the defeat of Dafeichuan, and Fang Yiai even rebelled. If he succeeds in rebelling, will there still be things about my old Li family?

"Yes, Your Highness, what do we dare to do next?"

"By the way, have you finished digging the hole?" Li Zhen suddenly remembered the business and couldn't help asking.

"It's already been dug, do you want to go and have a look?"

"Let's go, come back just to meet the chief manager." Swallowing the last bite of breakfast, Li Zhen led Alai and walked out of the big tent first. Li Ergou and Wang Jin (Lin San was not around, so he was not mentioned during this time) led The guards followed closely.

Chapter 70 The emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry

To be honest, the gathering of more than a dozen large pits with a diameter of more than [-] feet looks quite shocking. At least Li Zhen felt a little unbelievable: "We really dug this? It took a day and a night to dig?"

"To be exact, it was half a day and one night, because it was almost noon when we started construction yesterday." Li Ergou laughed.

"You did a good job. Tell me below that all the prisoners who participated in the digging will have meat to eat today." Li Zhen was very happy and ordered loudly.

"Your Highness, this subordinate knows that you want to reward those captives, but to be honest, your reward is almost the same as no reward." Li Ergou smiled bitterly: "Don't forget, these captives are all grasslands. Meat is not a rare commodity in the eyes of people who have grown up eating meat. Besides, the most important thing we need now is meat. These days, both soldiers and prisoners eat meat. Even if you take our dry food It is always better to reward them than to reward them with meat."

"Um, I forgot." Li Zhen's face turned awkward, forgetting that meat is a good thing for Han people, but for Turkic people, it is eaten every day, and it is not rare at all.

"However, giving dry food is too unreasonable. After all, it is a reward. In this way, didn't we bring some wine? Give them the wine." Li Zhen thought about it, what is giving dry food?Just give them the wine, anyway, the Tang army is not allowed to drink alcohol, it's like there is no wine.

"But that's what we're planning to celebrate. We gave it to them. What should we drink?" Li Ergou's expression was reluctance. Datang's military regulations were strict, and he finally had a chance to drink, so he couldn't just give up. .

"Don't even think about it, this wine is not so easy to drink." Li Zhen smiled and said: "Don't forget that the celebration banquet tonight is actually the same as yesterday, but the scale is just a little bigger. And the war But it’s not over yet, this is still the front line, and Xieli hasn’t been caught yet, who dares to let you drink?”

"Wait until you catch Xieli before drinking." Li Ergou said naturally.

"When Xieli is caught, our new supplies will have arrived. Are you afraid that there will be no alcohol?" Li Zhen was actually quite puzzled. Since drinking is prohibited in the army, why did the army have to bring so much with them? wine?Is it for disinfection?But at this time, the strength of the alcohol is only about ten degrees at most, and someone like Li Zhen can drink five or six bowls, so what's the point?

Or is it a celebration?But unless it is a country-level or total annihilation war like the Turks, no one would dare to drink on the battlefield even if they won?Are you not afraid of being counterattacked by the enemy?

"I don't understand, I don't understand." Li Zhen shook her head and sighed, with her hands behind her back, and the appearance of taking eight steps was really cute to overwhelm a group of guards, but she could only suppress her smile and follow closely

Li Zhen had been waiting for nearly an hour at the entrance of the Yinshan tent, but there was still no sign of Li Jing's army in the distance.

The bored Li Zhen had no choice but to cast his eyes on the entire Yinshan Camp—he really hasn't seen the scenery of Yinshan.Although the name of the Yinshan tent includes Yinshan, it is actually not built in the Yinshan Mountains, but in the shade of the Yinshan Mountains, which is the northern foot of the Yinshan Mountains. The water here is beautiful and the grass is fertile. It is a good place. Grazing land, no wonder Xieli set it up as a big tent after Dingxiang fell.

But speaking of it, it was a credit that Xieli didn't set up the big tent in the Yinshan Mountains, otherwise the raid this time would have been greatly compromised.Because the roads in the Yinshan Mountains are difficult, if you really want to fight in the mountains, it will be much more difficult to move forward. At least Li Zhen's carriage will not be able to enter.

However, this assumption is not true. As long as Xieli is not a fool, he will never set up the big tent in the mountainous area - the Turks are a nation on horseback, and the terrain that the cavalry is most afraid of is the mountainous area. If he really dares to set up the big tent In the mountainous area, although it will cause difficulties for Li Jing's surprise attack, but Jieli's people don't even think about running out.

The prairie in April is still very beautiful. Although it is not considered to be full of flowers, when you look up, you can see a piece of green and blue that connects the sky and the ground, but it is also very magnificent. It is no wonder that the singers who came out of the grassland in later generations all have loud voices, and they were all trained in such an environment.It's a pity that Jieliqi missed a move. From today on, such a beautiful prairie will be named Tang.

"Report!" While Li Zhen was looking at the surrounding scenery, a small school came galloping: "I report to Lord Chang Shi, and I report to the general. The army of the general manager has arrived thirty miles away."

"I'm back, check everything carefully, is there anything I missed?" Huo Chulou hurriedly roared, and suddenly there was chaos again.

Another half an hour passed: "Report, the general manager's army has reached ten miles away."

"Check again."

A quarter of an hour later: "Report, the chief executive's army has reached five miles away."

"Again"

"It's been checked ten times, what else is there to check?" Li Zhen asked impatiently, this Huo Chulou looked so wise and mighty, it turns out that his psychological quality is so poor, no wonder Li Jing left him to watch the door, it was not unreasonable.

"Yes, my subordinates are too nervous." The sweat on Huo Chulou's face became faster and faster, and even a small puddle formed on the ground, which was caused by excessive nervousness.

"By the way, Your Highness, there is something I need to tell you in advance." After wiping off his sweat, Huo Chulou suddenly remembered something, and leaned into Li Zhen's ear and whispered: "Your Highness still remembers that among the prisoners the wounded?"

"What's wrong? How many died?"

"It's not that many people have died, and it's only a few hundred people who have died so far." Huo Chulou's voice was very low: "But many people's injuries have deteriorated. If they don't receive medical treatment, they will really be hopeless. If the chief executive comes back and asks, how should we answer?"

"Answer what you want." Li Zhenbai glanced at him: "Otherwise, what else do you want? Do you still want to deceive the chief executive?"

"Dare not dare, but"

"Okay, I know what you mean, don't worry, the chief manager won't pursue too much." Li Zhen shook her head secretly in her heart, she really misjudged the person before, and thought that Huo Chulou should be a daring person He is a good man, and he handles things in an orderly manner. Under his maintenance, even small fights did not happen in the barracks.Li Zhen used to wonder how it is possible that such a capable person did not leave a name in history. It turned out that what he had before was just his appearance, which was caused by the mentality of "there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings". Now the big tiger When he came back, the monkey began to have doubts about his previous actions.

"Really? Hehehe" Huo Chulou said he was relieved, but the sweat flowed more and more rapidly, and he couldn't even open his eyes, which showed that he was even more nervous.

"What are you afraid of? We didn't do anything wrong. Not to mention you and me, even the chief executive himself would make the same choice as us." Li Zhen really couldn't stand it anymore, if Li Jing chased the enemy for thousands of miles, but when he came back, he saw Huo Chulou like this, can he be happy?

"Besides, is there any medicinal material in our medicine?" Li Zhen snorted, "At least the Achnatherum splendens can stop the bleeding. Even if this matter is reported to my father, we all have reasons to refute it. , you will push everything to me when the time comes, and say that I asked you to do all of this, let me see if Li Jing dares to touch me?"

"His Royal Highness is a daughter of gold, the chief executive will not dare to touch you, hehe." Huo Chulou smiled dryly, and finally he felt a little relieved-before he was only nervous, and forgot that the person next to him was the protagonist. With his protection, who would dare to touch himself?

""Looking at Huo Chulou's ugly appearance, Li Zhen shook her head and sighed inwardly, this person is usable but not reusable.

"Report, the general manager has led the army to a mile away."

Li Zhen also knew without the small school reporting the news—after all, it was a big scene involving an army of ten thousand people, and there was still a lot of movement, and the grassland was so vast that even people with bad eyesight could see it a mile away. , those with sharp eyes could even see clearly Li Jing who was sitting on horseback under Shuai Zi's flag.

"Boom!" Thousands of horses are galloping, and they have already arrived in front of the welcome team just by counting their breaths.

"The chief manager has worked hard all the way, please drink a glass of Xichen bar." When the army stopped completely, Li Zhen walked towards Li Jing with a wine glass in hand.

"Thank you, Lord Changshi, for the wine." Seeing Li Zhen, Li Jing's face darkened three points, obviously he already knew about Li Zhen's private dispatch of troops, but since he was in front of others at this time, he didn't want to get angry. He could only change his face, laughed and drank the fine wine in one gulp.

As if not seeing Li Jing's ever-changing face, after taking the wine glass, Li Zhen looked at the soldiers behind Li Jing again: "Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, we beheaded tens of thousands and captured hundreds of thousands in this battle—this time It is a great victory that I have never achieved since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and I, Li Zhen, as the son of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the current King of Yue, would like to thank you all for your hard work."

"Roar!"
