On the road from Chang 'an to Youzhou, an army was marching with a large flag of the Tang Dynasty. Their target was Youzhou, where war was raging.
"Report ~"
"What is it?" Li Jing, the general who was appointed in the face of danger, calmly looked at the soldier kneeling in front of him and asked indifferently.
Li Jing had personally led one hundred thousand soldiers of the Great Tang and appointed him as Youzhou's military governor during the war. He was in charge of Youzhou's military and political affairs for one purpose: to stop the Turks 'attack on Youzhou, to counterattack and reclaim the lost territory, and to repel the invading Turks.
This mission was very heavy. Every time the grassland nomads invaded the Central Plains on a large scale, there would be no less than 100,000 of them. There would be at least 200,000 to 300,000 of them! In other words, each of Li Jing's Tang soldiers had to fight at least two or three Turks to reach a draw, fulfilling the high hopes that Emperor Li Shimin had placed on them.
"Commander, we have intercepted a messenger who is said to be heading to Chang 'an to report. He is from Youzhou City and according to him, he was sent by Miss Li Jun.”
"Bring him here."
"Yes, sir."
Not long after, the messenger sent by Li Jun from Youzhou City to Chang 'an was brought to Li Jing. He knelt down on one knee and cupped his fists."This lowly one greets the marshal!"
"Get up." Li Jing nodded and asked,""Why did Li Jun send you to Chang 'an?”
"General, General Li Jun sent me to Chang 'an to report the latest news from the front line to His Majesty. The main reason is to request for reinforcements. Of course, now that we have seen the General's troops, there is no need to ask for reinforcements.”
Li Jing was stunned and asked with concern,""Hmm? Didn't Li Jun lead the 5,000 female soldiers to Youzhou City? Why couldn't they hold on for even a month?”
"Erm... I'm sorry. Erm, when General Li Jun came to Youzhou City, she only saw the 30 Women's Troop, General Li Jun herself and her fiancé.。。I didn't see him." The messenger was also stunned, but he quickly replied honestly. However, the expression on his face was very interesting.
"Only thirty people? Nonsense! Support Youzhou City!" Li Jing flew into a rage. He had sent his daughter to the battlefield to train her, to serve the Tang Empire, not to die. How could they support Youzhou City with thirty people? The most important thing was to escape back to Chang 'an or other safe cities.
Li Jing, who was very concerned about his daughter's comfort, subconsciously did not hear the situation of his fiancé. He quickly asked,"How's the situation in Youzhou City now? Is it very dangerous?"
The messenger briefly reported the situation in Youzhou City before and after Li Jun came to Youzhou City.
Li Jing was stunned when he heard that.
Li Taixuan? Who the hell was this? Where did he come from? Why was he her daughter's fiancé? Why didn't he remember seeing this young man agree to this marriage?
And was it false information? F * ck, he single-handedly killed the enemy's commander among nearly 20,000 soldiers? Impenetrable? He was strong in martial arts and had abundant zhenqi, killing more than a thousand Turks with a single hammer strike?
Are you sure you're not telling me a fairy tale or bullsh * t?
Li Jing's mood was very complicated. He was confused, happy, and angry at the same time.
Of course, he was confused about where Li Taixuan came from. He was happy that the crisis facing Youzhou City had been solved; however, he was furious that his cabbages might be eaten by pigs of unknown origins in the future.
Complicated emotions surged in his heart for more than ten seconds. Li Jing slowly calmed down and asked calmly,"How's the situation in Youzhou City now?”
"General, when this humble one left Youzhou City, the public security and people's livelihood were not bad. However, the city defense was broken and there were only a few defense troops. There were only 1,200 veterans and 1,500 strong young men. Additionally, military supplies were very scarce.”
"Ah, right. General Li Jun also said that according to the scouts at the front line, the Turks will not let Youzhou City go easily. They will probably lead their troops to attack Youzhou City again. Therefore, General Li Jun sent me to Chang 'an to ask for help.”
With over a thousand seasoned soldiers and over a thousand young men, if the Turks attacked Youzhou City again, Youzhou City would definitely be destroyed.
Li Jing's intelligence on the Turks was far more extensive and reliable than Li Jun. He knew that the Turks wouldn't give up easily. In his mind, he had determined that the next wave of attack on Youzhou City would either be tens of thousands of troops or hundreds of thousands of Turkic main forces. In this case, Youzhou City and his only daughter, Li Jun, would be in danger.
"No, we have to hurry over and provide support.”Li Jing thought to himself.
Just as Li Jing was about to wave his hand and let him continue to Chang 'an, the name of his only daughter's fiancé, Li Taixuan, suddenly came to his mind. Li Jing's heart skipped a beat and he carefully asked the messenger about the information he knew about Li Taixuan.
"Using a pair of sledgehammers that weigh 400 jin each? The black and white warhorse under him was running very fast. This kid's strength was even more shocking and he was invulnerable? Uh, twelve years old? This isn't a problem, but why does it feel so familiar? It's as if I've seen it somewhere before. Could it be that I knew that little fellow before? That's not right either."
Li Jing began to recall and mutter to himself softly.
After a while, Li Jing suddenly opened his eyes. He remembered why Li Taixuan gave him a very familiar feeling."Isn't this a replica of Li Yuanba, the son of Emperor Gaozu?”
Li Yuanba was the younger brother of Li Shimin, one of Li Yuan's sons. He had great strength and was good at using a pair of drums and golden hammers that weighed 400 jin each. His crotch was covered in black clouds and white. His martial arts skills were strong and his body was tough and invulnerable. He was one of the most important people in the early days of the Tang Empire. Basically, once he entered the battlefield, the enemy could hardly continue fighting.
He had helped Li Yuan and Li Shiming in the past wars and had made great contributions.
Unfortunately, perhaps the heavens were jealous of Li Yuanba, or perhaps the heavens themselves were jealous, but in any case, he had been taken away by a bolt of lightning, causing the Great Tang to lose a supreme general.
When Li Yuanba died, he was only sixteen years old. However, after his death, his weapons and mounts disappeared. Emperor Gaozu did not know where these things had been taken. He had once sent people to search for them, but there was no result.
"Could it be a descendant of the prince? But I've never heard of the prince marrying any wives or concubines.”Li Jing was puzzled.
However, now that he had such a speculation, Li Jing didn't plan to let this messenger go to Chang 'an. Instead, he detained him and took him to Youzhou City. He intended to intercept the news first.
