The Great Tang's territory stretched from east to west for nearly ten thousand li!
The northern borders were vast, encompassing seventy to eighty prefectures and counties. The Eastern Turks were also eyeing them, making defense extremely difficult.
"Where? Liangzhou? Or Suzhou, Shuozhou? Did you break through the city?" Second Emperor Li frowned.
The Turkic invasion was nothing new, so he wasn't too surprised.
"The battle situation in the northern borders is already in a mess. Jie Li has personally led hundreds of thousands of troops to the south and will soon arrive in Chang 'an!”Li Jing said concisely.
" What?!"
Second Emperor Li was shocked and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Two days ago, I received a letter from home…"
Li Jing slowly explained the whole story.
Before Old Master Han's entire family fled south, he had already sent a messenger pigeon to Li Jing and told him about Li Qiu's speculation.
This was a matter of great importance, so Li Jing did not dare to neglect it. He spent two days gathering information, and the results made his back break out in cold sweat. Only then did he enter the palace that night.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for Li Shimin to not know about such a big thing. The only explanation was that someone had blocked the news and wanted to see a joke.
Or even…
Borrowing the hands of the Turks to welcome Li Yuan back to the throne!
Most of the civil officials in Jin Dynasty were from aristocratic families. They had always been Li Jiancheng's supporters and had long been dissatisfied with Li Er's promotion.
Most of the generals stationed at the northern border were Li Jiancheng's remnant followers!
If these two forces worked together, they could really allow the Turkic army of several hundred thousand to silently approach the capital.
"This bunch of rebels!"
Second Emperor Li slammed the table fiercely. He was furious.
He also did not expect that these people would actually disregard the common people of the world for their own selfish interests!
"Quickly summon Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Zhangsun Wuji into the palace for a meeting.”Li Er ordered.
"Here!"
A guard outside the hall said.
After a moment of silence, Second Emperor Li frowned and said,
"Who is this Li Qiu? To have such insight, he shouldn't be a nameless person.”
"Cough!"
Li Jing was a little embarrassed and said," He's my niece's son-in-law. He married into the Han family and his reputation isn't too good.”
"Is that so…"
Second Emperor Li was deep in thought, but he didn't dwell too much on it. He just remembered this name in his heart and then began to discuss the war in the northern border.
...
It was a quarter of an hour in Youzhou.
Li Qiu led a group of people and charged out from East Street, setting off a bloody storm!
The Turks who had entered the city had long since fallen into a state of revelry, completely oblivious to the spirit cavalry mercilessly harvesting lives.
Commandant Yang was extremely shocked because there was almost no one who could withstand a single strike from White Horse Yi Cong's spear. What was even more terrifying was…
These people's cooperation was extremely tacit, as if they were a whole!
The leader of the group was even more valiant. Every time he swung his halberd, a large number of people would fall to the ground, their lives unknown.
"Alright... So strong!"
"That's right! Even the Viceroy…"
"Yes! Perhaps only General Qin or General Yuchi could compete with him.”
Many soldiers gasped when they saw Li Qiu's god-like figure.
This Governor was Chai Shao, the Governor of Youzhou. He had returned to Chang 'an to report on his work.
As for General Qin and General Yuchi, they were known as the two great War Gods…
Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong!
Li Qiu didn't know what others were thinking, and he didn't have the time to care. His eyes turned red, filled with a bloodthirsty light!
The Heavenly Halberd was a weapon of slaughter, and it had been a vicious weapon since ancient times. The sharp edge of the halberd emitted an incomparably ferocious baleful aura, causing one's killing intent to grow!
His white robe was stained with blood, and he looked like a Shura bathed in a sea of blood, scaring many Turks.
"Hurry up…Run!"
"Monster!"
"General, please spare my life! Spare me!"
"Ah!"
...
Screams and wails were still spreading!
Li Qiu saved the commoners and captured soldiers along the way. This team was also slowly expanding, gathering two to three thousand people and charging towards the south gate!
At the Youzhou Governor's Office.
The Turkic Great General Ashnaqiya and his ten subordinates were celebrating when someone hurriedly ran in.
"General Ah Shina, we found a group of shameless Tang cavalry in the city. They took advantage of the night to sneak attack the camp, and our brothers suffered heavy casualties! them... They're even heading towards the south gate!"
This person did not know the exact situation. He only heard that something had happened outside and hurriedly came to report.
"Humph! This group of two-legged sheep actually dared to act rashly?”
"He really ate the guts of a bear and a leopard!"
"General Ashina, I am willing to lead my men and capture these ignorant fellows alive to comfort our brothers in heaven!”
The generals were furious and said.
Ashina Ziye waved his hand and sneered,
"The secret agents have already found out the whereabouts of Guo Yong, Luo Yan, and the others. This group of people will definitely go and meet them.”
...
Over 20 miles away from the southern suburbs of Youzhou City, there was a dense forest.
Some of the civilians and soldiers who had escaped from the city had gathered here.
According to the news from the scouts, not only did Youzhou fall, but even on the way to the south…
There were also Turks everywhere!
