The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Of course, with the population of the Tang Dynasty, maybe six eagles will come to help them." Li Shimin smiled, then his face turned cold, and his voice was full of endless majesty.

In terms of logistics, the Tang Dynasty is not afraid of them. If they can delay, they will delay.

But Li Shimin doesn't want to gamble like this.

The Turkic cavalry is highly mobile. Chang'an City is high and deep, but what about the surrounding villages?

They can't escape the looting of the Turkic cavalry. The Turks will not be merciful. They rely on plundering in the south to support part of their supplies.

Perhaps, in their eyes, the people of the Tang Dynasty are not considered human beings.

"I just don't understand! The Tang Dynasty has repeatedly made alliances with you and given you countless gold, silver and silk, but you have repeatedly violated the alliance. Don't you Turks have any credibility?!"

"Of course, I am not saying this to destroy the alliance between the two sides, but I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, will go there in person to rebuke your Khan!"

"In this way, our Jie Li Khan and Tuli Khan will admire your Majesty." Zhishishili responded.

"Okay! Since you want to break the alliance, then we won't be polite. Come on!"

"Here!" The person outside the hall responded.

"Detain the Turkic envoy Zhishishili and wait for me to come back!" Li Shimin ordered.

The person outside the hall dragged Zhishishili away.

"Your Majesty." Pei Ji stood up.

"Zhishisili is an envoy after all. When two countries are at war, we don't kill envoys. I hope things can turn around."

.......Li Fu went to Jingyang County with Yuchi Gong's army.

Li Fu has walked this road from Chang'an City to Jingyang County countless times.

But never before, his mood was so heavy.

Now, it is clear that the battlefield will be held in Jingyang County.

Although I have thought about this before, thinking about it and facing it now are two different things.

The people in the gunpowder workshop have delivered all the things.

At the same time, the person who was sent to deliver the gunpowder was Li Wu, a personal guard beside Li Shimin. After the things were delivered, he did not leave, but was ordered to stay by Li Fu's side. Li Wu and Li Shimin's other guards stayed with him.

These are Li Shimin's personal guards, who have followed him in the battles of the south and the north, and their kung fu is not weak.

Li Shimin is very worried about Li Fu's safety.

After all, Li Fu had not married or had children yet.

If something went wrong on the battlefield, the emperor would be even more reluctant to reconcile with Li Shimin.

This was the only descendant of the lineage of the former King of Han.

"Deputy General Manager, His Majesty has ordered that you are not allowed to fight on the front line of the battlefield. You only need to stay in the army." Li Wu bowed and said, "Your safety will be protected by my subordinates and several other guards."

"Thank you." Li Fu bowed and thanked.

Li Fu came to Yuchi Gong's military tent, and Li Wu and others were waiting at the door of the military tent.

"General Manager, everything has arrived. I have checked it and there is no problem. Next, how should we fight?" Li Fu asked.

With gunpowder, Li Fu is Yuchi Gong's strongest assistant.

"Scouts ahead reported that the Turkic vanguard, led by Ashide Wumochu, has already fought their way to Gaoling and will soon be heading for Jingyang. We don't have much time to prepare."

Li Fu stepped forward and looked at the map.

"How many people are there in the vanguard?" Li Fu asked.

"Five thousand people, including two thousand cavalry." Yuchi Gong said.

Li Fu stroked his chin.

"Can we find a suitable place to take a look and think about it, and then we can eat up all the front troops." Li Fu stretched out his hand and grabbed in the air: "This way, it will be a deterrent to the Turks. Even if the follow-up army arrives here, they have to be careful. After all, if 5,000 people are wiped out..." "That's what I said, but it's not easy to eat them all, especially these 2,000 cavalry. It's not easy to deal with." Yuchi Gong said: "But it's not impossible. Find a place to set up an ambush and catch them by surprise."

"That's right. Now that we have gunpowder, it's completely possible. Once the explosion sounds, the cavalry will be in disarray. If the horses under their crotch can't be controlled, it will be easy to cause chaos. The cavalry, which they were most proud of, has become a disadvantage in front of gunpowder." Li Fu pointed to the map and said, "We need to send more scouts to keep track of their marching routes at all times, and try to ambush them one day in advance without anyone noticing."

"In this way, it will be a competition between the scouts of both sides."

Yuchi Gong nodded, and his eyes also looked at the map in front of him.

"HereHow about this? If you want to come to Jingyang, this is a good choice. "Yuchi Gong said.

"Are there other roads?" Li Fu asked.

"Yes, but for a large army, the other road is too narrow, and the team is too long, which is not conducive to marching. "Yuchi Gong said: "That road is not easy to ambush..."

"So, there is still a certain probability that they will choose that road."

"Only 20%." Yuchi Gong responded.

"So, the battle between the scouts of both sides has begun." Li Fu's mouth curled up slightly.

Around Chang'an, this is their home ground, and the scouts on their side have a natural advantage.

"Then send scouts first to keep an eye on their marching route." Yuchi Gong said: "Once it is confirmed, we will go there immediately."

Immediately afterwards, Yuchi Gong summoned the scouts in the military tent and issued the task.

"I will lead a team of people and go there in person." Li Fu said.

"No! "

As soon as Li Fu said this, Yuchi Gong immediately refuted.

He couldn't let Li Fu go to the battlefield, this was the emperor's request.

As for why Li Fu couldn't go to the battlefield, Yuchi Gong also knew.

His opinion was the same as his majesty's, that is, to protect Li Fu.

"But if I don't go, no one knows how to bury the gunpowder." Li Fu said.

"There is still one day, you can teach some people." Yuchi Gong said.

"General Yuchi, I am the deputy general manager."

"But the emperor has an order!" Yuchi Gong's tone was firm and his attitude was resolute.

"Then I won't go to the front battlefield, anyway, I will ambush, and when the arrangement is completed there, Li Wu and I will come back immediately, and then, the battlefield will be handed over to you, the general manager, and I will not meet the Turkic army, and their whereabouts are always in the hands of our scouts, so there will be no danger. "

Li Fu said this, and Yuchi Gong began to think.

If he didn't fight against the Turkic army, Li Fu would be safe.
