Chapter 414: Let Li Tingxue be the commander-in-chief
This day.
Li Chengqian and Li Tingxue left the camp for three miles and sent Gao Zhixing off for the expedition.
Yes, Li Chengqian agreed to his request.
He was given 10,000 soldiers and horses and asked to go to the junction of Yanshan Mountain and Daxianbei Mountain to resist Goguryeo's westward advance.
Gao Zhixing stood on his horse, looked at the two of them with a smile and said: "Okay, don't send me away, go back. There are still a lot of things to do in the army."
Li Chengqian raised his head slightly and said: "In that case, we have to leave. Whether our army's logistics supply line is safe or not depends entirely on you."
"I said, if one of Goguryeo's soldiers crosses the Great Xianbei Mountains, you can chop off my head."
High enough confidence to laugh.
He looked straight at Li Tingxue and said, "Besides, I won't joke with my life..."
After saying this, Gao Zhixing turned his horse and left regardless of their expressions.
At this time, Li Chengqian turned to look at Li Tingxue: "Sister, aren't you going to say something to this kid?"
"say what?"
Li Tingxue raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said, "Only if he survives can he be worthy of letting me talk to him."
After saying this, she grabbed the horse's reins and headed back to the camp.
Looking at the two people separated from each other.
Li Chengqian was in a daze.
After a long time, he came back to his senses and looked in the direction Gao Zhixing left.
"It doesn't matter if I let my sister be my aunt."
"Whether I let you be my brother-in-law, I hope you can come back alive..."
After saying this, he turned his horse's head and turned towards the camp.
…
After arriving at the camp.
The messenger troops from Chang'an City arrived belatedly.
It turned out that the Western Turks also launched an attack on Datang.
When he first heard the news, Li Chengqian was slightly stunned.
But soon, he came to his senses and said directly to Li Tingxue beside him: "Sister, this Zhao Youlin really has a perseverance spirit."
"Perseverance? "
"He's just a mentally ill person."
Earlier, it was true that Li Tingxue liked Zhao Youlin.
But later she also discovered that she fell in love with the wrong person.
And with her strong temper, once she finds out that she loves the wrong person, she will definitely turn from love to hate.
Now she is quite disdainful of Zhao Youlin.
Even though he has now occupied most of the territory of the Western Turks, he beat Xue Yantuo and lost his temper.
In Li Tingxue's eyes, he was still no different from a little gangster.
In some aspects, he is even worse than a minion.
After hearing her words, Li Chengqian smiled helplessly.
He looked up to the sky and sighed: "I never expected that this war would come so soon..."
He had known for a long time that with Datang's current expansion rate, it would definitely have to fight some battles with its neighbors.
Especially the nomadic peoples in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty, such as Xueyantuo and Western Turks.
In the previous life, the Tang Dynasty fought several wars with them during the reign of Li Zhi.
It's just that Li Chengqian didn't expect that this war would come so quickly.
However, the longer it takes for him to come to this world.
The more he can integrate into the world and the Li family...
Perhaps he didn't even realize that he already possessed that arrogance that belonged exclusively to the Li family.
Li Chengqian lowered his head and looked at the sand tray in front of him and said: "Since the radish, cabbage and pork are here, let's stew them in one spoonful..."
He turned to look at Li Tingxue and said, "Sister, our army will move forward next."
"Isn't this the strategy you have already formulated?"
Li Tingxue glanced at Li Chengqian suspiciously and said, "You and that guy Gao Zhixing are hiding something from me, right?"
Seeing her look, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel guilty.
He smiled dryly and said: "How is this possible? How could I hide something from my sister..."
honestly.
Li Tingxue has known Li Chengqian for many years.
It can be said that she watched Li Chengqian grow up with her own eyes.
Li Tingxue knew very well what his every move meant.
At this moment, seeing him smiling like this, Li Tingxue knew that he had a guilty conscience.
Therefore, Li Tingxue straightened her face and said, "Tell the truth, or your ass will burst into flames!"
He saw Li Tingxue coming towards him.
Li Chengqian quickly took a step back.
He looked at Li Tingxue with a smile and said, "Sister, I'm already so old, can you please stop spanking..."
"no."
Li Tingxue slapped her and said, "I am your sister. No matter how old you are, I can spank you!"
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, why don't you?"
Li Chengqian said helplessly: "We just want you to help guard the central military tent and lead the army step by step towards Shiwei and Mohe."
"Um……"
Li Tingxue just breathed a sigh of relief.
But I immediately realized something was wrong.
She said bluntly: "I am sitting in the military tent? Then why are you going?"
"Of course I took my brothers to Mohe's royal tent to have a look..."
Li Chengqian pointed to the northern part of the Daxianbei Mountains on the sand table and said: "During the last expedition to the Third Northeast, that boy Li Chongyi discovered a path in the Daxianbei Mountains."
"This path can cross the Great Xianbei Mountains and reach the Northeast Mansion. When the time comes, I can lead people northward and reach Shiwei's lair."
After hearing what he said, Li Tingxue's first reaction was that this guy was crazy.
Passing through the Daxianbei Mountains, they penetrated directly into the hinterland of Shiwei, and even took away the enemy's royal tent.
Although this strategy is very good, it can reach the enemy's king's tent and catch the opponent by surprise. Is this something a leading general can do?
Is this something a prince can do?
"No, you can't go."
Li Tingxue said with a straight face: "If you want to go, I will go too. You sit down and command the whole army, and I will lead the army there."
"Are you going to lead the army?"
"My sister, it's all for nothing if you lead the army."
Li Chengqian smiled bitterly: "If you don't say anything else, just saying that you are not familiar with the terrain, I can't let you go."
Li Tingxue rolled her eyes and said, "I'm not familiar with it, so you are familiar with it?"
"To tell you the truth, I have kept it in mind for a long time what every inch of our land in the Tang Dynasty looks like."
"So sister, don't fight with me about this matter. I'll make the decision."
"Besides, there's no danger if I go. Even if I can't fight, I can still run through."
Li Chengqian patted his chest and said: "Don't forget, I killed the most powerful general in Tuyuhun back then. No one in the world can be my opponent single-handedly."
Hearing this, Li Tingxue hesitated.
After thinking for a short time, Li Tingxue looked up at Li Chengqian and said, "How many people are you planning to bring?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian said without thinking: "Five thousand."
"I will select five thousand good soldiers from Liangzhou and take them away, and leave the rest to my sister."
"No, it's too little."
Li Tingxue just wanted to speak.
Li Chengqian waved his hand to interrupt her.
He said: "To tell you the truth, these five thousand people are enough. If there are more, it will not be a surprise attack, and others will definitely find out."
"Moreover..."
"The harder my sister beats them on the front line, the safer my situation will be."
He bared his teeth at Li Tingxue and said: "When the time comes, I will leave Qianzi Camp to my sister. I only hope that my sister can kill as many enemies as possible..."
