Li Jing had more or less learned about Li Taixuan's strength through Li Jun and the others, so he felt at ease with him by Li Jun's side.
"After the 3,000 elite cavalrymen are ready, you guys lead this reinforcement team back first. I'll be right behind you," Li Jing said solemnly.”
"Well, you don't have to come back with us. With our elite reinforcements, the soldiers left behind in Chang 'an, and the surrounding loyal army, it's enough to defeat the Turks. When they flee, you can stay here and lead the troops to intercept them. Wouldn't it be better if you could kill all of them?”
Li Jing was stunned. The Turkic Khagan always had an army of at least one hundred thousand at his side. You think you can defeat them with just three thousand? What kind of joke was this?
Li Jun hesitated for a moment before she told Li Jing about the God of War's divine power that Li Taixuan had bestowed upon her.
Li Jing was shocked again. He looked at Li Taixuan in disbelief and was extremely shocked."This, this is stronger than his father? This is unbelievable!"
Li Yuanba was already very powerful when he was alive. His martial arts and strength were the best in the world. Now, not only did Li Taixuan inherit these, but he even surpassed his master. Li Jing really couldn't think of anyone in the world who could be his opponent.
Li Jing frowned and thought for a moment before saying,"If that's the case, then fine. I choose to believe you. I'll stay in Youzhou City with the remaining ninety-seven thousand soldiers and wait for news of your defeat of the Turkic Khagan.”
Li Taixuan and Li Jun had no reason to lie to him, nor did they have any reason to use their lives to deceive him. Li Jing decisively chose to believe them.
Li Jing looked at Li Taixuan and threatened him sternly,""Li Taixuan, I'll leave my daughter to you. You have to protect her well on the way. If she gets hurt, I'll fight you to the death when I come back, even if I can't beat you!”
Li Taixuan guaranteed and replied very seriously,"Ahem, about that, Father-in-law, don't worry. My wife loves her so much. How could I let her get hurt? Anyone who wants to hurt my wife will have to step over my dead body!”
With Li Taixuan's guarantee, Li Jing was relieved.。。He didn't know if this kid did it on purpose.
Li Jing's face was dark as he waved his hand and told the two of them to get lost.
On the other side, just as Li Taixuan and Li Jun were preparing to return to the rescue team with smiles on their faces…
A report suddenly sounded from the Turkic Khan's tent.
"Report ~"
"Great Khan, the generals at the front line have sent news that they have intercepted a letter written by Great Tang General Li Jing to the Tang Emperor.”
"Hand it over!"
"Yes."
Jie Li Khan took the letter from his subordinate and opened it to read the contents.
A moment later, Jie Li Khan laughed.
"Great Khan, what is it that makes you so happy?”His subordinate asked in confusion.
"Hahaha, you can see for yourselves.”Jie Li Khan passed the letter over.
A moment later, after his subordinates finished reading, a Turkic general smiled."Congratulations, Great Khan. As a result, Chang 'an will be extremely empty.”
"Great Khan, I am willing to be the vanguard and pave the way for you to flatten Chang 'an!”Another general hurriedly stood up and shouted.
The other Turkic generals were not to be outdone.
"Good, good, good. With the help of the brave warriors, why should our Turks worry about the Great Tang?”Jie Li Khan laughed happily.
After intercepting the messenger, he learned that Youzhou City had 100,000 troops stationed there while Chang 'an was relatively empty.
As a result, the Turkic army changed their route, and the Turkic Great Khan Jie Li Khan personally led an army of more than one hundred thousand to attack Jingzhou.
In the face of the Turkic army of more than one hundred thousand, the Great Tang's defensive system was being severely challenged. The border defense system of this newly established country, which had been established less than a decade ago, was instantly breached.
Under the personal assault of the Jieli Khan, the Turkic army was able to break through the borders of Wugong, and the capital of the Great Tang, Chang 'an, was under great threat.
In Chang 'an, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, did not receive the news from Li Jing. His messenger was killed on the way. He did not know the latest situation of the war and did not make any arrangements. He was caught off guard.
Jingzhou had been lost, and martial arts was in danger. After Emperor Taizong, Li Shimin, received the news, he immediately issued a martial law order to the capital Chang 'an, sealing off the inside and outside of Chang' an, and declaring that Chang 'an was in a state of emergency. At the same time, he gave the order to mobilize the troops of the other provinces and counties to help the king.
At the same time, he ordered all the frontlines to defend the cities and delay the attack of the Jie Li Khan's army as much as possible to buy enough time for the capital Chang 'an to prepare for war.
August 24th, Jie Li Khan led the Turkic army to take down Wugong and enter Gaoling.
When Emperor Taizong heard the news, he gritted his teeth and transferred ten thousand elites from Chang 'an. He appointed the brave general Yuchi Jingde as the general of Jingzhou Road's march and ordered him to lead ten thousand Tang soldiers to Jingyang. He stationed them there to defend and try his best to stop the Turkic invasion.
Yuchi Jingde was a brave general of the Great Tang. Long before the establishment of the Great Tang, he had rendered meritorious service to the son of a warlord, Li Shimin. He was proficient in the art of slaughter, and as soon as he arrived at the front line, he immediately mobilized the young and strong soldiers to allocate resources. After a day of careful preparation, he would launch a counterattack against the Turks.
In the Jingyang region, Yuchi Jingde had fought a brutal battle with the Turkic army. He had killed several Turkic generals and captured the enemy general Ashide Wumeichu alive. He had also killed more than a thousand Turkic cavalry and injured more than five thousand.
Although Yuchi Jingde's victory had greatly boosted the morale of the Great Tang soldiers who had suffered successive defeats, the mere ten thousand soldiers were unable to stop the advance of the Turkic army.
Jie Li Khan left 30,000 troops to restrain Yuchi Jingde. He led the main army and advanced all the way to the bank of Wei River. As long as they crossed this river, they would be able to approach Chang 'an!
On the bank of the Wei River, Jie Li Khan was in high spirits, with two hundred thousand Turkic soldiers behind him! They were in formation, their flags fluttering for dozens of miles.
At this time, Chang 'an's military strength was extremely empty. There were only 30,000 soldiers and a dozen generals. Even though the martial law was imposed, they had more or less learned the news from the front line. Knowing that Chang' an was in danger, they were in a panic.
In order to deal with this crisis, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin set up a suspicious plan, personally led Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling and other six cavalry to the edge of the Wei River, across the Wei River and Jie Li dialogue, accused Jie Li of breaking the covenant.
At this moment, Li Shi Min thought of his younger brother Li Yuan Ba. If Li Yuan Ba was still alive, even an army of 100,000 would not be able to stop him.
"Fourth Bro, how good would it be if you were by my side?”
