Songzhou was located at the northwest border of Jiannan Road!
This border town was very unique in geography. It was the border between the wilderness plateau and the oasis basin.
Politically, it was adjacent to Tuyuhun Tubo and Xiqiang barbarian tribes in the west.
A city wall, a general, and a group of soldiers. They had to resist the Xiqiang tribe, one of the culprits of the Five Barbarians, and also the Tubo Tuyuhun barbarians.
It could be said that their conditions were very difficult. Fortunately, the Yizhou Plains was an important food production area. It was not far away and had sufficient food. This was why they had been able to hold on for so many years, even though the Imperial Court had put all its energy into developing the Western Regions.
Not only was the battle difficult, but the responsibility was also very heavy!
Songzhou was the western gate of Chang 'an, the capital. It was located in the west, exactly west.
As long as the Tubo people broke through Songzhou and entered the plains, they would be able to reach Chang 'an in three days.
Fourteen years ago, the Eastern Turkic Jiali Khan had deployed two hundred thousand soldiers on the north bank of the Wei River. This was a shame, but Li Shimin handled it well and coaxed Jie Li away.
If Jie Li didn't leave at that time, no one knew where history would go.
Li Shiming did not want to see the Great Tang, which had finally entered its golden age, having another two hundred thousand soldiers at the west gate of Chang 'an!
If such an outcome really happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He believed that Songzan Ganbu, who could unify the various tribes of Tubo and establish a slave owner country, was much more shrewd than the idiot Jie Li. Such an opponent with an army of 200,000 was not easy to deal with!
The Silk Road had already been opened up, and they had returned to the court a few days ago.
Now, he had the strength to deal with the Tibetans!
Li Shi Min looked at the 10,000 elite soldiers in front of him. He looked at the sons of the dead fathers and the younger brothers of the dead brothers. His eyes were filled with tears.
"Return to the court. You can't rest. You still have to fight!”
" Are you guys willing????"
The voice of the Heavenly Khan, who had experienced the vicissitudes of life and created a golden age, reverberated in the square.
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
The sharp spear was raised high, reflecting the sunlight.
The shining long saber knocked on the shield, and the fighting spirit was very high!
Li Shi Min waved his cloak and returned to his throne."Heavenly Policy Prefecture Master Li Jing, start the counting!”
Li Jing walked up the platform, took out the commander's seal, and raised it high.
"Greetings, Marshal!"
" Greetings, Marshal!"
" Greetings, Marshal!!!"
The civil officials stood solemnly, the generals cupped their hands, the elite soldiers cupped their hands, and the Thousand Bull Guards on duty, as long as they wore iron clothes, all cupped their hands and bowed to the commander.
Li Jing furrowed his brows, his eyes bursting with killing intent.
"Child, I am the marshal of your uncle Yang Jiao. Your uncle died for this marshal, and you are recommended by this marshal.”
"Lieutenant General of the Left Guard, where's Su Lie?" Li Jing shouted.”
Su Lie looked at Li Jing and nodded heavily. He knew Li Jing's intentions. It was true that he had attacked the Tibetans, and it was also true that he had saved his brother's descendants.
"Child, I am the general of your second uncle, Yang Qi. Your second uncle died for me, so I will definitely save you from danger.”
At the thought of this, Su Lie, who was 1.8 meters tall and mighty, walked out.
Pa!
He punched his chest and cupped his hands."I'm here!"
"I appoint you as the general manager of the Kuoshui Road's army and the vanguard general. Lead thirty thousand cavalry and set off first to assist Songzhou.”
"I accept your orders!"
Then, Li Jing looked at Li Daozong."Jiang Xia Emperor, where is Li Daozong?”
Li Daozong took a step forward and cupped his hands."I'm here!"
"I appoint you as the general manager of the Tao River Road. Lead 50,000 light infantry and attack from the flank.”
"I accept your orders!"
Finally, Li Jing turned to Hou Junji. He did not want to pick this person. This person had military talent, but he was a little petty.
However, as the chief of the Heavenly Policy Prefecture, he had to be fair and share the military merits equally. He couldn't just use people who were close to him. He had to use some people from his uncle's side.
Although this was the prosperous Great Tang, the Imperial Court had to consider all aspects if it wanted to be stable.
"Where is Minister of War Hou Junji?”
"I'm here!" Hou Junji's lips curled into an impure smile.
"This commander will appoint you as the general manager of the Pryndall Army. Lead 50,000 heavy armored infantry and attack from the front.”
"I accept your orders!"
After the gathering, the three generals were busy gathering their princes and generals before sending troops to reinforce them.
In the afternoon, west of Chang 'an City!
There was only one door, which represented the Jiangxia Commandery Prince, the Minister of Rites, and the General of the Right Guard.
Li Xue Yan's mother, His Highness's Princess Consort, was helping Li Daozong put on his armor while complaining.
He draped a red robe over Li Daozong and looked at the wounds on his back, tears streaming down his face.
Wuuuu!
Concubine Zhang, who still looked charming, cried,""Wangye, what are you trying to do?”
"After fighting for so many years, my two sons, your two sons, have sacrificed their lives for the country.”
"You're not young anymore. You're covered in injuries.”
"It wasn't easy to have Snow Goose, our only daughter. Why don't you find him a prince who is talented in both civil and martial arts to be his husband to support our family?”
"You must ruin your daughter's happiness for a promise that no one else heard clearly.”
"For the sake of a mere fifth-grade general, you still personally went into battle!!!”
Wuwuwu!
"If you're gone, how can I and Xue Yan live?”
As she spoke, she reluctantly put on the Qilin Golden Armor for Li Daozong. Only the imperial family's battle generals were qualified to use the Golden Armor.
Sigh!
Li Daozong really wanted to get angry when he heard this, but his beloved concubine was also a mother. Eldest and Second Brother had both died in battle. As a mother, she had to understand.
He was also a father, but he was the head of the Yu family!
En, he still had to repay her!
"Beloved Consort, don't say anything more. Benwang has already made up his mind.”
"A mere Tibetan, what is there to be afraid of?"
At the gate, Li Daozong mounted his horse and was about to head to the drill ground to lead his troops.
"Father!"
Suddenly, a pleasant voice came from behind.
He turned his head and saw Li Xue Yan in a snow-white dress. She had a fair and beautiful face and a perfectly tall figure. From head to toe, it showed how beautiful the great beauty that the princes of Chang 'an wanted was.
With such a daughter, he really didn't have the heart to hand her over to anyone.
However, he believed that the children raised by the Yang family of Hongnong, who had fought for the Han family for a thousand years, carried out the family precepts of being loyal to the country and the people for a thousand years, and had noble character that could withstand the test of history, would definitely be worthy of his trust.
"Child, you don't hate father, right?"
He knew that this daughter was talented and intelligent, and she also dreamed of having a husband who was both skilled in both martial and civil arts. Perhaps, no, she must be complaining about his decision.
Li Xue Yan smiled lightly,"What we owe others, we will pay them back."”
Li Xue Yan suppressed the unwillingness in her heart and smiled gently.
She had never seen such a fiancé before. After all, he was only a candidate for the crown prince. Subconsciously, she thought that although he had some family background, he definitely did not receive the best education in both the civil and military fields. Although he was successful in both the civil and military fields, he had not reached the point of being both.
Therefore, she was a little unwilling.
"Save him and bring him back. As long as he's alive, I can repay his family's kindness.”
Although she was unwilling, she understood the principle of repaying kindness. As expected, she was a talented woman educated by the virtuous king.
"Also, take care of yourself. You're not young anymore.”
Although her father used her happiness to repay her kindness, he did not complain at all. This kind of filial piety was even more lovable.
"Rehearse your dance and prepare for the tenth anniversary of the destruction of the Eastern Turks." Li Daozong smiled in relief.”
"Father believes that when you see him, you will definitely thank Father!”
Drive!
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Daozong spurred his horse and galloped towards the drill ground!
He wanted to defeat the Tubo and bring back Yang Hao.
He wanted to let his daughter know that he was her biological father. He would never cheat her biological father!
