Just as Tang Jian thought, in late February of the fourth year of Zhenguan.
Li Jing's army met with Li Shiji's army at Baidao.
Joining them were Zhang Baoxiang, Chai Shao, Xue Wanche and many other generals.
With so many generals converging on Baidao City at once, the number of troops at Li Jing's disposal instantly rose to 30,000!
Coupled with Li Shiji, Li Daozong and other peerless generals, there is no doubt! This is a force that can overturn the world!
After the generals gathered together, Li Jing immediately called everyone to discuss matters in the commander's tent. The result of this meeting was to select 10,000 generals from the current army as a final blow to Jie Li!
Xiao Han was not among these ten thousand people.
Although he strongly recommended himself and wanted to accompany him to fight.
But he was still sternly rejected by Li Jing. Not only that, Li Jing also ordered Chai Shao to guard Baidao, keep an eye on him, and never allow Xiao Han to step out of Baidao!
Soldiers are expensive and fast!
This point is well reflected in Li Jing.
Just as the generals finished their deliberations, Li Jing, without stopping for a moment, hurriedly left Baidao with Li Shiji and others, heading towards Qikou under the cover of night.
Seeing the 10,000 soldiers leaving the city silently, Xiao Han was helpless and could only sit on the top of Baidao City with the even more helpless Chai Shao, looking out at the vast night in a daze.
"Hey, did you just see the face of Xue Wanche's grandson? He was smiling at you! Isn't Li Jing, an old man, afraid that our two brothers will share his credit? He deliberately left us here here?"
Chai Shao, who was holding a half-jar of "disinfectant" in his arms, was obviously a little drunk, and he even began to speak freely.
Fortunately, there was only Xiao Han around. If others heard about criticizing Shangguan, Chai Shao would probably not be able to escape!
"Old Xue was saying hello to me, where did that mean smile come from?" Xiao Han glanced at Chai Shao, who was drunk, and snorted: "Don't treat everyone else as a bad guy! Just like you said Li Jing is grabbing credit,
He still wants to rob? Do you believe that as soon as the Turks are finished, no matter who is responsible, the credit for the destruction of the country will fall on his head, Li Jing!"
"Why?" Chai Shao glared at Xiao Han with his tongue hanging out.
Xiao Han shrugged: "Just because he is the general manager of the march, when you were the general manager, wouldn't it be all on your head if your subordinates won battles?"
"Well, that's different!" Upon hearing this, Chai Shao's face immediately turned redder, as if his thoughts had been revealed: "How much credit do I have? Is it the credit for destroying the country this time, or is it the credit for destroying the Turkic country?
Can it be the same?"
Xiao Han thought about it at this time and waved his hands indifferently: "Anything different is all due to credit! Besides, this credit is not so easy to get. If you don't believe it, you will know it when you see Li Jing."
Chai Shao's eyes widened: "Oh? What do you mean? You mean Li Jing is a master of martial arts?"
"His great achievements shocked the Lord? Then you think too highly of Li Jing." Xiao Han smiled contemptuously and said slowly: "Now half of the Tang Dynasty was conquered by your Majesty! In terms of merit, who can possibly compare with him?
Gao? Who can possibly shake him?"
"Then what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting. I'm just telling you, stop thinking nonsense and worry less! You've done a lot of work by staying here quietly, and we can't do without our share."
"Tch, it doesn't mean it's for nothing! Once the credit comes in, it would be great if we two pick up some vegetable soup! Damn it, even Zhang Baoxiang's guy went! We can't go! Just thinking about it makes me angry!"
Chai Shao became more and more angry as he talked, and finally took a few more gulps from the jar.
Without Li Jing, no one here can control him from drinking. Even Xiao Han can only persuade him with kind words.
"Okay, drink less! If you miss something, be careful that Li Jing will chop you down!"
"How dare he? I'm your Majesty's brother-in-law!" Chai Shao got drunk and spoke more and more unscrupulously.
Xiao Han rolled his eyes at him: "You still know that you have a special status?
"What's wrong with my special status? Aren't you special too?!" Chai Shao was actually not drunk at all, he was just using his alcohol to vent his anger just now!
I came here all the way from Chang'an, I warmed up well, and when I was about to go on the field, I was given a red card by the referee and was banned from participating. Who should blame this? Who wouldn't complain?
"You still know that we are special, so you keep nagging and complaining?!" Xiao Han was also a little annoyed at this time, and stood up angrily and scolded.
Chai Shao shook his head vigorously: "With his special status, what does it have to do with Li Jing? On the battlefield, life and death are determined, and wealth is in heaven! Whoever loves him so and so!"
"Fart!" Xiao Han spat mercilessly: "Do you remember what Li Jing said just now when Zhang Baoxiang said that Tang Jian was still in Jie Li's hands?"
"Uh..." Chai Shao rolled his eyes, and it took him a long time to recall the content of the pre-battle meeting, and said: "He seems to have said that if the Turks can be defeated in one battle, how can people like Tang Jian be regretted?"
"That's it!" Xiao Han snatched the jar from Chai Shao's arms, took a swig, wiped his mouth and said, "If he really died on the battlefield, then forget it! But Tang Jian died because of his decision.
He was in deep danger, so no matter what happened in this battle, Li Jing must take full responsibility for Tang Jian's affairs.
Tang Jian alone is enough to make him miserable after the war. If another accident happens, it will cost you and me. Do you believe that even if Li Jing wipes out the Turks three times, he will not be able to make up for the losses?"
Chai Shao blinked and seemed to have just understood the matter. He stood up and cursed: "Damn it! Just because you are His Majesty's brother and I am His Majesty's brother-in-law, do you deserve to be stared at by us here?"
Xiao Han faced the cold wind, holding the wine jar with one hand, and patted Chai Shao on the back with the other hand: "Yes, we deserve to stare at each other..."
——————
Chai Shao and Xiao Han from Baidaocheng almost got into a fight. On the other side, things were not going smoothly for Li Jing and others heading west.
After Li Jing led an army of 10,000 people into Yinshan Mountain in the middle of the night, he unexpectedly encountered a Turkish rear army stationed here.
However, fortunately, the rear troops at that time became lax and careless due to the calm in the past few days, and some hidden posts were not manned at all.
Therefore, the Tang army who discovered them first made dumplings in one fell swoop. Among them, thousands of Turkic soldiers were killed on the spot, leaving only a few lucky ones as guides to lead the army to King Jieli's tent.
The Yinshan Mountains are huge! Originally, Li Jing was worried that he would not be able to find the way, but with these "guides" who are familiar with the terrain, there is no problem at all. Before the sky outside was fully lit, Li Jing's army was almost out
Fifteen miles ahead of the Yinshan Mountains is Jieli's royal tent.
Originally, the last fifteen miles of road were unobstructed and unobstructed. As soon as Li Jing's army appeared, they would be discovered by Turkic spies immediately! This gave Jieli enough time to deploy his troops and generals to deal with the Tang army!
However, even Li Jing did not expect that Jieli was destined to have a bad year. At this juncture, even God was bullying him!
