When they first chased them out, the brothers were relatively fast. After chasing for half a month, the road here was no longer good because they had left the grassland area and came to the Gobi Desert.
, fortunately they all added new horseshoes, otherwise the horseshoes would not be able to hold on.
In addition to the original five thousand cavalry, there are now more than six hundred prisoners in the team. These were all captured along the way. According to Su Dingfang's idea, we should just deal with them all. Do we still have to deal with them?
Do you want to take them all the way to escape? Later, I thought about the lack of some handymen in the army. All the soldiers who came out this time were combatants. We couldn't do everything, so we assigned fifty cavalry to take charge.
Let them do some chores, so far it seems to be okay.
Of course, the warriors on the Xueyantuo Grassland are not so easy to manage. When I first heard that they were asked to do these chores, each one of them immediately became unwilling. When some people’s heads turned into balls, these people also
There are so many things to do, just make a fire to cook when you need to, and feed the animals when you need to feed them.
Fortunately, after entering the Gobi Desert, the cavalry did not need to march in a hurry. If they had to march in a hurry, these people would not be able to keep up with the walking speed. Now Su Dingfang's energy has been worn away. He has already seen it. Li Xiang is sure
If I had known the terrain here, I would not have asked him to come out to fight. I would have asked him to go to Gaochangguo to ask what was going on.
In addition, with these hundreds of prisoners, it is even more impossible for me to go faster.
Five days ago, they received an imperial edict from the imperial court. Officials from the Imperial Court had already set off. Counting the days, they should meet up with them. After the two parties met, Su Dingfang escorted the imperial officials to Gaochang.
"Report to the general, Mr. Zhao Guangtai, the left envoy of the Lifan Court, has arrived outside the camp gate."
Now that the team had stopped, Su Dingfang took off his armor and was lying in the tent humming a tune when his soldiers brought him a piece of news that he had been thinking about day and night. If he hadn't been waiting for this
As for Mr. Zhao, he would have led his men to kill Gaochang Kingdom one hundred and fifty miles away a long time ago. Do he still need to stay here?
"Get my general's armor and send someone to notify General Huo, and we will go out of camp to meet him."
Calculating the current level, Su Dingfang is naturally not as good as this Mr. Zhao. He is the left envoy of the Lifan Academy. In addition, he is responsible for this matter. We are only responsible for guarding, so it is normal to go to the camp gate to greet him.
of.
Huo Qubing, who was always wearing armor every day, arrived here very quickly.
The ceremonial guard of the Angels of the Tang Dynasty has also become more and more powerful. Originally there were only one or two hundred people, but now it has increased to 600 people, stretching for nearly several hundred meters.
"I've met Mr. Zhao."
"It's really embarrassing for me to invite two generals. The two generals are working hard for our Tang Dynasty on the front line. I am just doing some tedious work in the rear. How can I get these two generals to salute? On behalf of the imperial court, I would like to thank you both.
General."
Zhao Guangtai is a sensible person. It is precisely because of this that Li Shimin sent him here. What the Tang Dynasty needs now is to recuperate and recuperate, not to fight everywhere. If there is another war with Gaochangguo, then what the Tang Dynasty needs in the past few years
There really is no time to rest.
When Zhao Guangtai came out of Chang'an City, Li Shimin specifically told him to try his best to let Gaochang State hand over the leader of the thieves. We will not need to control the remaining people. As long as we can bring Xue Yantuo Khan back to Chang'an to be beheaded.
It's considered finished.
According to the thoughts of the court officials of the Tang Dynasty, Gaochang State should not dare to refuse. After all, they are a small country. Although the land area is not small, the total population of the country is less than one million people. For such a country, if you want to
How much courage do they have to reject Datang?
"What are you talking about, Mr. Zhao? We just have different divisions of labor. We are all serving the imperial court. My prince has already given instructions. This time when we go to Gaochang Kingdom, everything will be at the discretion of Mr. Zhao."
Hearing Mr. Zhao being so polite, Su Dingfang originally wanted to give him a slap in the face. Civil servants and military generals are opposed to each other. This is normal in any dynasty or generation, but when they came up, they gave you a high hat.
If you still confront others, it will appear that you are a bit of a coward, so what Su Dingfang had prepared earlier cannot be done now. As for Huo Qubing, just stand behind Su Dingfang and listen.
Express your opinions as little as possible.
"It is the imperial edict of the imperial court. Although I am the chief envoy, the two generals are also deputy envoys. If there is any matter, the three of us will discuss it. The emperor's intention is very clear, that is, without starting a war, Xue Yantuo Khan
Take him back to Chang'an and behead him."
Zhao Guangtai repeated what Li Shimin meant. In fact, they all knew what Li Shimin meant. Otherwise, Su Dingfang wouldn't feel so boring. The court has already set a big tone for you. If you cause trouble, then this
He cannot bear the responsibility.
In addition to Li Shimin's imperial edict, what scared him the most was Li Xiang's letter. Li Xiang had made it very clear in his heart that if he dared to find trouble and provoke a war, Li Xiang would send him to the rear.
He was allowed to train new recruits in the military camp, and they would never have the opportunity to go to the battlefield.
Su Dingfang was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that he would not be allowed to go to the battlefield, so even though he was eager to try, he had to put out the flames now, and followed Mr. Zhao conscientiously to Gaochangguo to read out his credentials.
After resting locally for two days, Mr. Zhao adjusted his condition, and the group started on the road. At this time, five thousand people could no longer gather together. Su Dingfang followed Mr. Zhao with three thousand people.
, Huo Qubing was wandering around with a thousand people, and another thousand people were stationed in the original base as their logistical support.
Seeing Su Dingfang's arrangement, Mr. Zhao also felt that it was extremely appropriate. He didn't know much about military matters. Since Su Dingfang thought this was good, let's just follow this method. They had already sent someone to Gao Changguo before.
After receiving the letter, they should have arrived at the border now, leading us to Gaochang City.
The closer you are to the target, the greater the danger. If nothing unexpected happens, then accidents are bound to come...
