Datang's offensive was blocked by three coalition forces.
No matter whether it is the west road or the south road, they are all at a standstill.
Li Ji and Li Xiaogong both sent back letters asking Li Chengqian what he meant.
It's funny to say that the two of them are almost eighty years old together.
But when they were marching and fighting, they actually asked Li Chengqian, a little kid, what he meant.
Of course, this is not entirely because of Li Chengqian's identity.
It's because of the strategic plan he started. Anyone who understands can see at a glance that this is a far-reaching plan planned vertically and horizontally.
Just like playing chess, Li Chengqian had already calculated every next move when he first took over the battle.
If the two of them act rashly and break Li Chengqian's current plan, no one knows what will happen next.
Furthermore, whether it is Li Ji or Li Xiaogong.
They both have the same temperament.
Typical of not greedy for credit, but also not taking the blame.
It's okay to give some merit, but the blame will never be taken.
Li Chengqian had already anticipated the current situation, so after the two sent back the letter,
He then sent back the letter he had already prepared to the two of them.
Li Xiaogong was the first to receive the letter.
After reading the contents of the letter, he was also full of surprise.
Obviously, he doesn't understand why Li Chengqian arranged it like this.
Li Chongyi, who was standing aside, was a little confused and couldn't help but ask: "Father, how did His Highness arrange it?"
"See for yourself."
Li Xiaogong casually handed the letter to Li Chongyi.
After Li Chongyi read it once, he had the same surprised expression as his father.
The letter was very clear, requiring Li Xiaogong to continue to lead the army forward.
Li Chongyi, on the other hand, wanted to lead five thousand troops on standby, waiting for Li Chengqian's next instructions.
This attitude is already very obvious.
It’s clear that there are more important things Son, leave it to Li Chongyi to do it.
This is a trust in Li Chongyi, and it is also a test for him.
See Li Chongyi's expression.
Li Xiaogong shook his head and laughed bitterly, then raised his hand and patted his shoulder: "It seems that His Highness has an important task for you to do."
"You must not let down His Highness's wishes."
After hearing this, Li Chongyi looked up at his father with a bitter look on his face: "But these two brushes, my boy, are obviously not as good as my father."
"Even if His Highness puts you in a position of great importance on me, I'm afraid I won't have the ability to take on such a big responsibility..."
"Son, your father is getting old, and sooner or later you have to learn to grow up on your own."
Li Xiaogong said with a smile on his face: "The future of the Tang Dynasty will definitely be handed over to you."
"This relationship between you and Cheng Qian is your destiny. It doesn't matter whether you can seize this opportunity or not, as long as you have a clear conscience."
"Besides, even if you make a mistake, your father will protect you."
After saying that, he didn't say anything more, got up directly and went out to help Li Chongyi order his generals and troops.
One day later, Li Xiaogong led his army to set off and continue to advance eastward.
Li Chongyi, on the other hand, led 5,000 troops to stay where he was.
Not long after, Li Chengqian arrived here.
And he didn't come alone, he also brought Qianzi Camp and a large amount of military supplies.
When he saw the things Li Chengqian prepared for him, Li Chongyi couldn't help but be a little confused.
It was also because he was better at playing when he was a child, so he was not so restrained in front of Li Chengqian.
Li Chongyi grabbed a package and asked Li Chengqian, "What exactly do you want me to do?"
"Why are you preparing these white cloaks and these cotton coats for me?"
"When the time comes, you will naturally know."
Li Chengqian gave up, and then smiled and said to Li Chongyi: "Now, you have only one mission, and that is to take your five thousand men and horses to the depths of the Mobei grassland."
"In one month, I will have something big to do for you."
Hearing this, Li Chongyi looked puzzled, but he didn't say anything more.
Then, according to Li Chengqian's arrangement, he took five thousand Liangzhou soldiers and supplies and military equipment to the depths of Mobei.
Watching the team leave, Li Chengqian also turned and walked towards the carriage.
Before boarding the carriage, he suddenly turned around and asked: "By the way, Brother Chong, has the teacher received my letters and supplies?"
"It should have been received."
Changsun Chong thought for a while and said: "Counting the days, General Li will send a message back in the next two days."
After finishing speaking, he asked with some confusion: "Your Highness, to be honest, I don't understand why you arranged it like this."
"I don't know, can you explain a few things?"
Li Chengqian still looked mysterious: "You will know when the time comes."
…
In August of the fourth year of Zhenguan.
The Bingzhou Army, which was originally fighting with Xi Jun, suddenly turned eastward under the leadership of Li Ji.
This scene really made Xi Jun a little confused.
What's going on?
Why did he suddenly leave after being beaten?
Zhao Youlin was also a little puzzled after receiving the news.
He asked his subordinates to take out the map, and then traced the map according to the Tang Dynasty's march route.
But when he saw that Datang's vanguard army had arrived at the boundary of Yingzhou, his expression suddenly changed.
He hurriedly called the messenger: "Quickly, send a message to Khitan to take precautions. The Tang bandits will launch an attack soon."
The herald stepped in and responded, then hurried down and ordered the soldiers to go to Khitan to deliver the message.
But it was obviously too late to send the letter at this time.
only in him On the day when the letter was sent, five thousand Bingzhou soldiers led by Su Dingfang had already appeared in the Khitan territory.
Because the Khitan neglected to take precautions, and the main domestic forces were sent to the Xi tribe's territory to help the Xi tribe resist the attack of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, the defense of the Khitan clan is like a piece of clay made of paper.
Su Dingfang led less than 5,000 Bingzhou soldiers and captured the Khitan's three cities and sixteen villages in one day.
When the Khitans began to organize a counterattack, Li Ji's army had already arrived.
Moreover, Li Ji did not just lead a lone army to go deep.
He successively established strongholds and logistical supply lines in Pingzhou, Liaoxi, and Yingzhou.
At this moment, the Bingzhou Army Corps was like a steel knife, completely cutting through the seaside line of the Northeast Third Division.
He also directed his army directly at the Khitan king's tent, forcing Khitan Chanyu Yuwen Yeyu to withdraw the king's tent three hundred miles northward overnight.
When Zhao Youlin received the news, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He slapped his forehead and asked the herald: "What did the Khitan say?"
"Now the voices of all ethnic groups in Khitan are rising against the war."
The herald answered truthfully: "More than half of the officials and ministers have begun to support peace talks with the Tang Dynasty."
Hearing this, Zhao Youlin sneered.
"Do they think this boat can be launched just as it is said to be launched?"
"Now that we are all involved, no one can escape."
Zhao Youlin raised his head slightly and said: "Tell the Khitans that if they want to keep the king's account, they will fight to the death to drive out the invading Tang thieves, and I, the Xi Army, will assist them as much as possible."
"But if they surrender, I, Xi Jun, will definitely turn the spearhead and destroy the Khitans as soon as possible."
Zhao Youlin squinted his eyes with gloomy eyes: "Since we are going to die, we will die together."
He has now made up his mind to succeed or die.
If you can't withstand the attack of the Tang Dynasty, then you can fight against the Tang Dynasty with this Northeastern Army.
Let Datang always remember that he once had an enemy named Zhao Youlin.
