Chapter 25-The Army Arrives at the Turks
A few moments later, Hou Junji's personal soldiers were scattered and lying on the ground, howling in pain.
Li Jiang expressionlessly walked toward Hou Junji.
"Now, does this king's words still count?”
Hou Junji's mouth was wide open in fear. He had never thought much of Li Jiang. In his eyes, Li Jiang was just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child who, in order to claim credit, could even come up with a lie about how he had single-handedly destroyed the Turks.
But now, it seemed that he was really wrong. He had underestimated this youth.
How did he do it? Thirteen or fourteen years old, and he already possessed such tyrannical martial strength?
Although Li Jiang hadn't killed him, Hou Junji's eyes were sharp enough to see that he had been merciful.
Thus, he was completely convinced that Li Jiang had the ability to make the Turks surrender.
This battle could be said to be Li Jiang's credit alone.
He didn't steal the credit. He deserved it.
"Hou Junji admires Your Highness's might!”Hou Junji didn't dare to be negligent. Although he had been injured by Li Jiang's punch, it didn't stop him from speaking.
"Alright, Hou Junji, listen up!"
Hou Junji hurriedly struggled to his feet, not daring to act rashly.
The generals behind Hou Junji didn't dare to say anything. Li Jiang's words caused them to dismount.
"This king has already accepted the surrender of the Turks. As for Father, this king will naturally go to the capital. Now, Hou Junji will lead the army to the Turks and take over the Turkic territory!”
Li Jiang wanted to take down the Turks in one go!
Although he hadn't defeated Jie Li Khan, Li Jiang had already completely taken over the Turkic territory.
Even if Jie Li Khagan dared to not submit, he would beat him into submission!
Hou Junji nodded, but his mind was occupied with other matters.
Everyone in the palace said that the Crown Prince had become increasingly fatuous in recent years. The Emperor doted on the King of Wei, Li Tai. However, now that the King of Nanyang had risen so powerfully, it might not be impossible for him to ascend to the throne in the future...
People would eventually die. Although Li Shi Min was still in his prime, once he died, would Li Jiang be willing to just be a carefree king?
This was Hou Junji's opinion.
Now that he had seen Li Jiang's strength, he might as well make a choice as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would definitely be punished by Li Jiang in the future.
In fact, he was really thinking too much. Li Jiang really had no interest in the throne.
As an emperor, he had to deal with a lot of official business every day. The emperor had to manage all the food, drink, and toilet in the world. He didn't even have free time.
Therefore, Li Jiang had no interest in the throne at all. His interest was to conquer.
"Now, the army will set out with this king to the Turks!”
After everything was packed up, Li Jiang gave his orders like the commander of the three armies.
Originally, Hou Junji should have been the commander, but Hou Junji didn't dare say anything. Flattering Li Jiang wasn't enough.
Everything was up to Li Jiang!
Cheng Yaojin's army and Hou Junji's army joined together, and the mighty army was like a dragon that could not be stopped.
The Turks were a nomadic people, and there were many tribes that were similar to the cities of the Great Tang.
These tribes were usually scattered, but in times of war, they would listen to the orders of Jie Li Khan and gather together.
Every time he went to a tribe, Mo Duo would ask him to persuade them to surrender. Li Jiang did not reject this. Since he had decided to accept the surrender of the Turks, he would let Mo Duo persuade them.
Only those who could not be persuaded by Mo Duo to surrender would be destroyed by him.
They moved like a hot knife through butter and soon reached the territory of Jie Li Khan.
The entire grassland was currently in the middle of autumn and winter, and there were not many people grazing.
"Esteemed prince, up ahead is the tribe of our Turkic Jie Khagan.”
Mo Duo said as he followed behind Li Jiang.
Li Jiang nodded and didn't say anything.
On this journey, no Turkic tribe had been able to resist the Great Tang's iron hooves, and most of the tribes had submitted.
In fact, when Li Jiang marched into the grassland, Jie Li Khan was already panicking.
He had not expected his capable general, Mo Duo, to surrender to the Great Tang, so he quickly gathered his forces and called upon the various tribes to mobilize their young men to defend his territory.
As for the other tribes, he could no longer care about them.
In his opinion, as long as he defended his territory, he would still have a chance in the future.
Li Jiang rode on his warhorse and looked at the yellow Turkic territory.
After taking down the Turks, all that was left was this Turkic Khagan and this territory.
