"So boring." Li Jun was lying on a grass patch somewhere, looking at the white clouds in the sky as she spoke in a bored manner.
Li Taixuan, who was lying beside Li Jun and holding her jade-like hand, replied with deep sympathy,"Yeah, we've already visited all the places around Youzhou City. There's nothing interesting here. Although the situation in the city has improved, the items sold are still nothing new.”
It had been over 10 days since Li Jing came to Youzhou City. Nothing had happened in the past half a month. The two people were so bored that they were almost moldy.
The two people had visited Youzhou City both inside and outside the city. The economy in the war-torn zone was stagnant. All the residents in the city were trying their best to make money to buy grains and store them at home. Nobody was sure how long could such a peaceful life last. Perhaps, another war would break out tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
In such a lifeless atmosphere, the two of them felt bored after shopping a few times. Although the scenery outside the city was beautiful, it was just like this after seeing it too much.
If it weren't for the two of them playing together, how could there be half a month? She got sick of it after three to five days.
"Where are we going to play later?" Li Taixuan asked casually.
Li Jun replied lazily," I don't know. Youzhou City is so boring. I feel that I should go back and help my father deal with government affairs. At least I have something to do."”
"If you go to deal with government affairs, what about me? Wouldn't I be even more bored without anyone to accompany me?”Li Taixuan was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said.
"Uh, if you really can't do it, you can go to the military camp to play. There are so many burly men there, there must be a few powerful ones.”
"Tsk, I've already fought them. Every single one of them was my opponent, and they fell the moment I touched them. Four or five people couldn't even push me.”
Just as the two of them were chatting in boredom, the female soldier at the side looked up at the sky and said,"Miss, son-in-law, it's getting late. We should go back for lunch.”
"Is that so? So fast." Li Taixuan looked at the sky and lazily pulled Li Jun to her feet. He patted the weeds on her body and groped her while he was at it.
Li Jun blushed and didn't stop him. However, if Li Taixuan wanted to touch a certain part of his body, she would immediately grab his hand tightly.
Soon, the two of them returned to the City Lord's Mansion.
After the meal, Li Jun went to the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion. Li Jing was sitting there dealing with government affairs. Li Taixuan yawned and followed Li Jun out of boredom. He wanted to see if he could find something to do.
"What is it?" Li Jing asked without raising his head.
"Father, I'm so bored. I have nothing to do recently. I've traveled all over Youzhou City; however, I don't have any soldiers to drill. I'm so bored that I'm almost moldy. Like war?" Li Jun asked, half complaining and half acting coquettishly.
Li Taixuan, who was at the side, instantly perked up when he heard the battle. He looked at Li Jing.
Li Jing looked up at them, then lowered his head and continued working. He casually replied,"It's been very peaceful recently. There's no war. More than a thousand scouts have been patrolling Youzhou City, but they haven't found any Turks approaching for ten days.”
Suddenly, Li Jing shouted and stood up."Not good!"
"What's not good?" Li Jun was startled and blurted out. Li Taixuan took the opportunity to put his arm around her shoulder.
"It's been more than ten days, but the Turks haven't attacked Youzhou City. I suspect that they've bypassed Youzhou City and headed straight for Chang 'an.”Li Jing left the main seat and paced back and forth in the hall. He said with a solemn expression.
"This is going to be troublesome." Li Jing muttered to himself, but his mind was thinking of a way to deal with it.
"Father, the Turks dare to go south without destroying Youzhou City. Aren't they afraid that we will destroy their retreat route and supply line?" Li Jun asked in confusion.”
"Should we retreat?" Li Jun probed.
Logically speaking, such a method of fighting was a taboo for military strategists. Anyone who led troops knew that it was extremely dangerous.
"No, it's not as simple as you think. The Turks have invaded the Great Tang with an army of one million, and they have a large number of soldiers and a high cavalry ratio. They are also very good at ambushing and detouring. If they really go around Youzhou City and head south, they will definitely leave tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers around Youzhou City to monitor us.”
Li Jing's expression became even more solemn."" Once we dare to retreat from Youzhou City and return to Chang 'an, we won't have a peaceful journey. They will harass our army day and night on the way, making our army exhausted and unable to rest. From time to time, small cavalries will harass us. We might be ambushed by them at night or even in the day. With the retreat of 100,000 troops and the long march route, we can't bear such harassment.”
They had more troops and greater mobility. Li Jing should have been the one cutting off their retreat, but the Turks had turned the tables on Li Jing, disrupting his march and supplies. This gave Li Jing a headache, but Chang 'an had to be saved.
After hearing Li Jing's words, Li Jun immediately understood how dangerous and troublesome the situation was. She couldn't help but lower her head and think of a countermeasure.
Li Taixuan thought for a moment and said in confusion,"Since the 100,000 soldiers will be targeted if they return to help, why don't we just form a few thousand elite cavalry and break through the encirclement to help Chang 'an?”
Li Jing and Li Jun were stunned. This method seemed feasible?
Thousands of cavalry returned to Chang 'an. Even if they couldn't repel the 100,000-strong Turkic army, they could still harass Chang' an City and cut off supplies. This was a good idea.
Of course, the most important thing was…
Li Jing took a deep look at Li Taixuan.
If he was like Li Yuanba, able to defeat hundreds of thousands of soldiers…
"Good, this is a good idea. I will immediately order the selection of elite cavalry.”Li Jing clapped his hands happily.
"Father, let me lead this 3,000-strong army!”As soon as Li Jun saw it, she immediately asked for a fight.
"What is it? You? No, this is too dangerous." Li Jing refused decisively.
On the way back, they would have to face hundreds of thousands of Turkic soldiers, and the journey would be filled with variables and dangers. How could he let his only daughter lead the army in such a dangerous situation?
"Father-in-law, don't worry, I will be with her. With me around, I will definitely not let anyone hurt my wife.”Li Taixuan hurriedly patted his chest and promised.
The atmosphere instantly froze.
"What…what did you just call me?" Li Jing asked, his mouth twitching.”
Li Jun, who was standing at the side, was also stunned.
Not good. He casually said the name in his heart. Li Taixuan laughed and scratched his head, not knowing how to answer.
"Forget it, forget it. Since you want to go, I can't stop you. I'll let you lead the army. Remember to stay by Li Taixuan's side no matter what.”
