"The last general is willing to follow the general."
Before Li Xiang could say anything, Li Zhi stood up first. He also received a letter from Li Shimin. Li Shimin slapped him in the letter and asked him to take more initiative on the battlefield and stop following others in everything.
Later, if he had no merit at all after returning to Beijing, Li Shimin would still have to settle accounts with him. So when he heard that he was going to meet with Prime Minister Tuyuhun, this guy immediately stood up.
Of course he had thought it through very clearly. It looked like there was danger this time, but in fact there was no danger at all. The meeting place between the two sides was just outside Liangzhou City. He would definitely not be able to bring many troops by then, and so would our army.
As a deterrent from behind, Tuyuhun won't do anything too extreme. He only needs to follow the general for a walk, and then the credit will come.
What Li Zhi can understand, in fact, everyone can understand. Everyone also thinks that Li Zhi is a bit opportunistic. He couldn't see you when he was fighting earlier, but now you have taken the credit and you can run faster than anyone else. Many people
I also feel a little disdain for this guy.
On the other hand, Li Xiang was different. This time he went out to the city to perform a mission, and he was at the forefront. Just with those two sacks of human ears, Li Xiang also won the respect of most people in the army, especially some young generals.
"Is anyone still willing to go?"
When General Qin Qiong said these words, Li Zhi felt that his face was about to burn. We have obviously stood up, aren't you still dissatisfied? These words are obviously for Li Xiang. If you had already chosen
Yu Li Xiang, then why bother asking in front of others?
"I am willing to lead my troops to protect the general's safety."
Although Li Zhi has said that he is going, it does not mean that we will not go. During this war, Li Xiang has made up his mind to fundamentally change Datang's foreign policy, so any important node must be
To participate, the previous routine must be overturned. If we want to cultivate an iron-blooded Tang Dynasty from now on, we must be extremely aggressive and tough in negotiations.
"Your three battalions performed well last night. The general should have such a strong force beside him."
Cheng Yaojin also nodded. Although the meeting place was just outside Liangzhou City, these people in Tuyuhun are not trustworthy, so they must be fully prepared in terms of security. Li Xiang has three thousand people
People are the best choice. Although Cheng Yaojin has never seen how they fight, they can continuously raid the two Tuyuhun tribes in such a short period of time. It is conceivable that their fighting power is not weak. What if something happens?
These people can also handle emergencies.
After hearing this, Li Zhi's face became even more unhappy. He could also see the gap between himself and Li Xiang here. They all came from Chang'an City together, but now he has become a polished commander.
Including the surrounding guards, everything was provided by these two generals.
Instead, Li Xiang took the opportunity to develop his own army. Currently, there are more than 3,000 people. Although more than 300 people were lost last night, the combat effectiveness can still remain the same. In any case, there is already a relationship between himself and Li Xiang.
A fundamental difference.
If he was still equally competitive when he first came here, now Li Zhi has understood that the distance between him and Li Xiang will become wider and wider. When he returns to Chang'an City one day, he doesn't know how big the distance will be.
Already.
The meeting was quickly decided. General Qin Qiong took Li Xiang and Li Zhi to attend the meeting. Cheng Yaojin took the remaining generals to guard Liangzhou City and at the same time made preparations to support General Qin Qiong.
"General Qin sometimes does things openly and aboveboard, but he is somewhat pedantic. After you go there, you have to act cheaply. If you are found to be in danger, capture the thief first and capture the king."
When they were saying goodbye at the city gate, Cheng Yaojin chatted with others, and then said these words in Li Xiang's ear. Cheng Yaojin was different from other generals. Maybe other generals had various
According to the code of conduct, we will not do some extremely dirty things, but Cheng Yaojin does not have such thoughts. If we can win, we can do anything, so in terms of guarding against others, Cheng Yaojin
They all have multiple minds.
"Don't worry, General, I will definitely let everyone return safely!"
Although Li Xiang is not a shady person, he is by no means an upright person. Especially when the two countries are at war, we have to consider all the things that should be considered. At that time, we will do anything to survive.
The style of a great country was of no use at that time, we had to survive first.
"It's time to go."
Li Zhi felt uncomfortable when he saw Li Xiang and Cheng Yaojin biting their ears. This Cheng Yaojin was too unmeasured. Could he take sides now?
Li Zhi originally thought that he had spoken and the two people should stop their private conversation. Who knew that Li Xiang did not even raise his head and continued to discuss some other matters with General Cheng. After the two people had finished discussing, Li Xiang turned his horse and chased after him.
When they entered the large group of people, they didn't say a word to Li Zhi. This made Li Zhi so angry that he almost lost his temper.
However, Li Zhi also understood that the reason for all this was also because of his own failure. Who allowed him to defeat all his men just after leaving Chang'an City? If it had been of some use, I guess this guy wouldn't have looked down upon him so much.
Own.
"check……"
Ten miles away from the city, Li Xiang waved the small flag in his hand. More than sixty cavalry were divided into six teams, and then scattered in all directions. They all carried homing pigeons on their bodies. Once Tuyuhun's ambush army was found around them,
Someone will be sent back with the news right away.
When General Qin Qiong saw this scene on his horse, he was filled with admiration. He was already so good at running an army at such a young age. With a little more training in the future, he might not be any worse than the current emperor.
Looking at the three battalions of men and horses following Li Xiang, they are all advanced and uniform. Without long-term training, there would never be such a result, but I have never seen such an army in the Tang Dynasty before.
, As for how Li Xiang was trained, although General Qin Qiong was curious, he would never ask.
In the general's opinion, as long as this army can be used by me in this battle, the rest is not important.
"Report to the general that Tuyuhun troops have appeared ten miles ahead."
When General Qin Qiong was thinking about things, he finally heard the news about Tuyuhun's army...
