Chapter 143 You can’t live without profit

"Marshal, don't chase after the poor enemy. Li Feng said that you can't chase. Our task is to recover Shuofang, not to capture Jieli." Li Wan reminded.

When Chai Shao heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Bastard, Jie Li is right in front of us. We can take revenge right away. Why should we let him go? Come on, let me continue to chase you."

"promise."

A group of generals mounted their horses and chased after him. They also wanted to capture Jie Li. This was a great achievement, not to mention that Li Wan was just a vanguard general and Chai Shao was the marshal.

A kind of soldiers were frantically chasing the Turkic army.

When Li Wan saw this, she stamped her feet angrily and directly led the vanguard to charge forward.

She remembered that one afternoon a few days before departure, Li Feng had come to her and told her about the recapture of Shuofang.

She was particularly reminded that Jieli Khan cannot be captured at this time. At present, the Turks need Jieli. Only with Jieli present can the Turks be divided. Let Jieli and Tuli be differentiated.

And this is not the point. The point is that with Jieli's high-pressure policy, the Turks will continue to decline. The imperial court only needs one or two more years to swallow up all the territory of Jieli Khan, so that it can truly grow.

Tang Dynasty.

If Jieli is captured now, Tuli's family may become bigger. Tuli's policy is even gentler than Jieli's. Once the Turks recuperate, the Tang Dynasty will have to use more power to defeat them.

Li Wan will never allow such a thing to happen.

After Chai Shao caught up with him, Li Wan followed immediately. She must prevent Chai Shao from catching Jie Li, and she must not even let Jie Li get hurt.

"Marshal, nothing will happen to Jie Li. Please give me a word from the last general." Li Wan said.

Chai Shao said angrily: "Li Wan, are you a general of the Tang Dynasty or a general of the Turks?"

"Of course the last general is a general of the Tang Dynasty. Precisely because the last general is a general of the Tang Dynasty, we must stop the marshal."

After Li Wan finished speaking, he fired out a shot, forcing Chai Shao to stop.

Chai Shao pulled the reins urgently, forcing the war horse to stop, which caused the war horse to neigh. It is not known whether it was neighing because of the pain caused by the emergency stop, or because it was dissatisfied with the emergency stop.

neighing sound.

Chai Shao had no time to appease his beloved horse at this time. He saw that the Turkic army in front had run further and was able to kill some lagging Turkic soldiers, but he could no longer catch up with Jie Li.

He looked at Jie Li's back very angrily, and finally turned his angry gaze to Li Wan, saying in a deep voice: "Li Wan, do you know what will happen if you don't obey orders on the battlefield?"

"I know, anyone who doesn't obey orders on the battlefield can be killed on the spot." Li Wan nodded.

Chai Shao asked again: "Then do you know what is the crime of attacking the marshal on the battlefield?"

"The crime is unforgivable." Li Wan said slowly.

Chai Shao's face turned gloomy instantly and said: "Then tell me, why do you want to stop me, or even take action against me?"

Li Wan said: "That's because Jieli can't have anything to do at the moment."

"Give me a reasonable reason, otherwise I will punish you severely." Chai Shao said solemnly.

Li Wan cupped her hands and said: "Reporting to the marshal, the current Turks cannot lose the Khan Jieli."

"Why? Explain it clearly to me." Chai Shao has calmed down.

When he first met Jie Li, he was so excited that he lost his cool. Now that he can no longer catch up with Jie Li, he calmed down.

When I heard Li Wan say this again, I calmed down completely. Although I was still very angry, I had to ask Li Wan why he did that.

Li Wan began to explain: "Marshal, Jieli has been in the position of Khan for several years. How is their national strength? What about their internal affairs?"

Chai Shao looked at Li Wan angrily, should I ask you or you ask me?

However, Chai Shao still answered Li Wan's question: "The Turks' national power is getting worse day by day, and the internal affairs have made the people miserable. Some tribes such as Xue Yantuo even rebelled, and Xue Yantuo was appointed khan, forming a self-contained kingdom.

The internal affairs have made the people miserable, and the lives of the Turkic people are getting worse day by day. Even his nephew Turli Khan no longer wants to obey his orders."

"The marshal is right. It seems that the marshal also pays close attention to the Turks." Li Wan said.

"Stop talking nonsense, you haven't given me a reasonable explanation yet," Chai Shao said.

Li Wandao: "Marshal, haven't you thought about it? During Jieli's reign, the Turkic national strength was declining day by day, but if something happens to Jieli, it will be Tuli who rules the Turks.

Tuli is different from Jieli. He may choose to recuperate and make Tujue stronger.

Originally, it only took the imperial court two more years at most to destroy Jieli and bring the Turks into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, so why must we seize Jieli now and give the Turks a chance to recuperate."

Chai Shao suddenly became quiet and said, "Who told you? You can't know that much."

"It's Li Feng. He told me. He even guessed that the marshal would pursue Jie Li desperately, so that the general would stop you no matter what." Li Wan said.

Chai Shao looked at Li Wan and said, "Do you dare to take action against me just because of his few words? Haven't you thought that once we capture Jieli Khan, we can use him to threaten the Turks?"

"Impossible, let alone whether Jieli can be caught. Once he is caught, we will be pursued by Turks along the way.

Even before we reach Chang'an, Tuli will lead hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops to rescue Jieli. Li Feng even speculated that Tuli was rescuing Jieli on the surface, but secretly killed Jieli, and framed the blame on the marshal." Li Wan.

said.

"Even if they blame me, will I be afraid of them?" Chai Shao said angrily.

"But in this way, the Turks will have an excuse to launch a war against the Tang Dynasty, and then the strength that the imperial court has gained after finally recuperating will be exhausted." Li Wan said, "Therefore, the final general would rather commit an unforgivable crime.

Also stop the marshal."

Chai Shao calmed down and began to think about Li Wan's words, and then said: "I don't care how fancy your words are, Commander. If you don't obey orders on the battlefield, it will be a capital crime.

However, I think that you have contributed to the imperial court, so I will not punish you. I will hand you over to the imperial court and let the imperial court punish you as it pleases."

"Thank you, Marshal." Li Wan said.

Chai Shao nodded and said loudly: "Come here, please touch the battlefield lightly and then return to Shuofang."

From then on, Shuofang was included in the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty unified the world.

This news was sent to Chang'an by Xiao Yu and Chai Shao.

As for Chang'an, there was a pig-raising craze at this time, because Li Feng's tavern launched a series of pork dishes, which everyone ate and praised, which made everyone want to raise pigs.
