Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

It also consumed the strength of the Turkic army to 13.

However, the cavalry on Tang Jun's side also only had more than [-] people left.

At this time, since I hadn't seen a single person on the way through Jingzhou City, I grabbed some grain and livestock.

Du Ruhui's strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the field has begun to show its effect.

In the Turkic army of 10,000+ people, there is not enough food and grass.

Ever since, Tuli, Zhishisili and others ordered.

The remaining 1 people from the Huihe, Bayegu, and Tongluo tribes were ordered to detour to the north of Chang'an City starting from martial arts.

Take Yunyang, Xianyang, Xinfeng, Lantian and other cities.

The main force of the Turkic army used martial arts to cross the Wei River and approach Chang'an City.

In this way, the two armies could encircle Chang'an and restrain Li Shimin from escaping easily.

On the other hand, the more important thing is that Tuli wanted the three tribes of Huihe, Bayegu, and Tongluo to rob them of food and grass.

At the same time, it can appease these tribal leaders, thereby stabilizing the morale of the army.

However, there is one point of anger that shocked Tuli and others.

The news came back one after another from the three tribes of Huihe, Bayegu, and Tongluo. The villages they passed along the way were all empty.

No one, no food, no livestock.

Even the wild fruits on the trees and wild vegetables in the field were obviously set on fire.

Along the way, I didn't even see half a person.

Only on the walls of those cities can one see the few soldiers and village braves standing there.

This is obviously Tang Jun's intention.

In Tuli's central army tent, after seeing such a piece of information, Tuli snorted coldly.

"Tang Junqing retreated all the people. When the time comes, our army will be short of rations, so we will naturally retreat."

"Hmph, they have a good plan."

"Pass down the order to order the three tribes of Huihe, Bayegu, and Tongluo to capture Yunyang, Xianyang, Xinfeng, Jingyang and other cities regardless of whether there is food or not."

"Cooperate with us to encircle Chang'an City."

"In addition, from today onwards, the horses will be slaughtered every day, and the soldiers must be well-fed and full before the big battle."

"Anyway, there are tens of thousands of extra horses we brought along the way."

"It's enough for my army to last a month's ration."

"As for the Tang army, there are only 2 to 10,000 people, and Chang'an City, which is empty on all sides, what will they use to resist my [-]+ army for a month?"

……

Two days later, the vanguard of the Turkic army led by Zhi Shi Si Li and Qi Bi He Li had arrived at the banks of the Weishui River.

On the other side of the river, Li Jing, Chai Shao, Yuchi Jingde, Qin Qiong, Feng Li, Xue Wanjun, Li Xiaogong, Xue Wanche, Li Daozong, Li Shiji, Cheng Yaojin, Zhang Liang and other famous generals of the Tang Dynasty.

All have camped here, waiting for their arrival.

In front of Chang'an City, the Wei River is barely a safe place to defend.

After that, they had already reached Chang'an City, and they could no longer retreat.

According to the strategy formulated before, these generals, as well as the last [-] cavalry of Datang, will complete their last important task.

Make the last desperate fight with the Turkic army, and consume as much Turkic troops as possible.

This can reduce the pressure on Chang'an City to defend the city in the future, so as to be able to hold on for a little longer.

In the end, a protracted war was fought and the Turks were defeated.

On the other side, there are three tribes of Huihe, Bayegu, and Tongluo who have been ordered by Tuli.

They did not attack Yunyang, Xianyang, Xinfeng, Jingyang and other cities as Tuli requested.

There are only a few people left in their tribes, and they still need to save themselves to protect themselves and share the cake in the future.

If it's all gone, wouldn't it be a fish on someone else's chopping board?

They wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

Moreover, the capture of Yunyang, Xianyang, Xinfeng, Jingyang and other cities on their side does not have much significance for the overall battle situation.

When the Turkic army captured Chang'an and captured Tang Emperor Li Shimin, these cities would be destroyed without attack.

Therefore, the leaders of these tribes studied each other.

In the end, they decided to separate their outfits, and each of them besieged the corresponding city without attacking it.

It can not only obey Tuli's orders on the surface, but also retain the combat power of its own tribe in fact.

……

On the other side, in the city of Chang'an, 10,000+ Turkic troops approached the Wei River.

And news of the siege of Yunyang, Xianyang, Jingyang, Xinfeng and other cities on the other side of the Great Wall quickly spread to every corner of Chang'an City.

Now, everyone knows that the 10,000+ Turkic army will attack the city of Chang'an within three days.

An extreme panic began to spread in Chang'an City.

However, the imperial court has already ordered that even in the daytime, the streets of Chang'an and various workshops have been controlled.

It is to prevent the occurrence of panic and mutiny among the people.

Want to get out of town this time?

Without the personal approval of Li Shimin's imperial pen, no one can do it!

In the imperial palace and Lizheng Hall, Empress Changsun personally arranged the clothes on Prince Li Chengqian's body.

At this time, Li Chengqian had already been dressed up as a servant of a rich family.

Wearing washed white gray cloth.

"Chengqian, after a while, someone will quietly escort you out of the palace and leave Chang'an."

"Outside the city, someone is ready to meet you."

"No matter what happens in the future, you must remember that you are the prince of my Tang Dynasty, the future emperor of this world."

"When you arrive in Luoyang, there must be a final decision on Chang'an City."

"Remember, you have to contact Beiping Wang Liqiu and his wife in Youzhou immediately."

"No matter what the turmoil in the Tang Dynasty will be, the husband and wife will be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, and will definitely help you secure the throne."

Chapter 391 Sadness, or Excitement, Excitement

Hearing Empress Changsun mentioning Li Qiu, Li Chengqian couldn't help but sneered, "Just wait for a businessman who forgets righteousness for profit and has an eye for money."

"When the country is in crisis, how can it be used?"

"I'm afraid that he might sell me to that Turk in exchange for gold, silver, jewels, power and status!"

Seeing him like this, Empress Changsun sighed deeply.

"Chengqian!"

"When is it now? Why are you still playing with your child's temper and saying some stupid words?"

"Don't forget, the last catastrophe in Tang Dynasty and Chang'an, I relied on Li Qiu to survive."

"Under the current precarious situation, if there is a change in Chang'an, who else can you point to when you are far away from the Eastern Capital?"

"Are you referring to those civil servants, the gentry can't do it?!"

"In the entire Tang Dynasty at that time, who other generals could compare with Li Qiu and Luo Kexin?"

"Which other state can have Youzhou's [-] to [-] elite troops who have fought against the Turks many times?"

Hearing the words of Empress Changsun, Li Chengqian slowly lowered his head, "Queen Mother, I know my mistake."

"When the child arrives in Luoyang, immediately send someone to order the King of Beiping to come to Qin Wang."

Seeing him like this, Empress Changsun ordered a few more words, watching the palace guards escort Li Chengqian away quietly.

At this critical moment when the Turkic army is pressing down on the country, it is absolutely impossible for people to know that the Crown Prince has fled far ahead of time.

Otherwise, the hearts of the people in Chang'an City will be scattered, and Datang will lose the next battle to defend the city.

However, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun must send Prince Li Chengqian to a safe place in advance.

just in case.

If Datang finally loses this battle, Li Shimin and others will undoubtedly die.

Then Li Chengqian can directly ascend the throne in the Eastern Capital, and the flame of hope for Li Tang Jiangshan can continue.

The moment Li Chengqian bid farewell to his mother, put on a disguised cloak and turned to leave.

There is also sadness in my heart.

However, what is more intense and burning than the sadness in my heart is an inexplicable excitement and excitement.

Although Li Chengqian knew in his heart that this was wrong.

But he couldn't control his thoughts at all, and even hoped, vaguely expected that there would be a bad ending in Chang'an.

If that was the case, he would be able to ascend the throne directly with justification.

Become the new king of Datang.

At that time, the foot disease that has been bothering me can die.

Wei Wang Li Tai, Wu Wang Li Ke, these people who covet their own throne will also prostrate at their feet.

Their wealth and life can also be controlled by their own happiness and anger.

As for Li Qiu, how could such a lowly merchant be reused?

However, it is also possible to adopt the emperor's mentality, use up his last value, deprive him of everything in his hands, and let him die.

As for those Turkic barbarians, Li Chengqian still didn't pay enough attention to them until the Tang Dynasty was at the juncture of life and death.

He felt that as long as he arrived in the Eastern Capital and successfully inherited the throne, then in such a vast land like the Tang Dynasty, there would naturally be a steady stream of teachers who worked hard to help the king.

This Turkic barbarian is not a problem at all.

This time and the last time the Weishui crisis was caused by his father being too self-willed and unwilling to temporarily withdraw from the Turkic edge.

But in this respect, Li Chengqian would not be so stupid.

As long as they are alive, the Turks will be defeated sooner or later.

……

After the Turkic army arrived at the banks of the Weishui River, they camped and rested for half a day.

Early the next morning, they couldn't wait to line up.

For those who are short of food in the army, even if they delay for one more day, the risk will increase by one point.

When will the rich and luxurious Chang'an City be captured, and Li Shimin, the princes and generals of the Tang Dynasty will be beheaded.

That's when the real work is done and the bag is at peace.

Facing the incomparably neat formation of more than [-] cavalry formed by Datang on the other side of the river.

Turkic Turkic Khan looked ferociously, and shouted: "My sons of Turkic."

"The [-] Tang soldiers on the opposite side are already the last soldiers of the Tang Dynasty."

"As long as we kill them, this city of Chang'an, this country of Tang Dynasty, and this whole world will be ours!"

"By then, large tracts of land will be divided up by us."

"You no longer have to compete with each other for pastures and water sources."

"I, Tuli, assure you that as long as you kill them, there will be plenty of gold, silver and jewels in Chang'an City, which is visible to the naked eye."

"Some are white and tender, beautiful Han women."
