That night, Mu Chen, Cheng Sanfu, Niu Jinda, and a few others sat in a simple thatched cottage.
They ate sweet potatoes and drank hard liquor.
Vaguely, their relationship seemed to have gradually increased with the strong wine in their glasses.
Thus, the remaining two thousand soldiers of the Great Tang were temporarily stationed in this barren village on the edge of the desert.
This was the case in ancient times. As the saying went, there were some military orders that generals could not accept.
However, Cheng Sanfu and Niu Jinda knew very well that they wanted to return to Chang 'an. Without Li Er's edict, no one dared to make a rash decision.
Hence, the next morning.
Cheng Sanfu immediately sent the report to Chang 'an.
During this time, the Turks had also become much more obedient.
Ever since Mu Chen and his eighteen cavalrymen had uprooted the Jinwu Tribe, there had been no movement from the Turks for several days.
Therefore, Cheng Sanfu, Niu Jinda, and the others had a few days of peace.
A few days later, in Chang 'an.
A fast horse came in through the city gate and galloped straight to the Dragon Head Plain on the north side of the Imperial City.
During this time, no one dared to stop him.
Anyone could tell that this was an urgent report from the desert at the border.
Under such circumstances, not to mention commoners, even imperial nobles had to give way.
If they delayed the military situation, it would be a serious crime.
At the same time, in Nanxun Palace.
Li Er, who was resting, had an extremely terrifying and strange dream.
In the dream, he had arrived in the desert alone. The yellow sand that filled the sky seemed to cover the sun.
Tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry were slowly closing in on him.
There was not a single Great Tang soldier by his side, only Li Eryi.
Under such circumstances, Li Er had nowhere to go.
Just as he was panicking and didn't know what to do, he vaguely heard the sound of shouting and killing coming from the yellow sand. The sound of weapons clashing and clashing could be heard.
Tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry had been wiped out in a short period of time.
Just as Li Er was overjoyed, a person slowly walked out from the yellow sand.
This person's face was blurry, and his appearance and age could not be seen clearly.
He was carrying a podao with a rolled blade in his hand. He was wearing coarse linen clothes and riding a warhorse.
He looked like a god of death who had walked out of hell.
Seeing this person, Li Er was shocked and afraid.
What was shocking was that this person had single-handedly cut off tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry. Just how valiant was he?
He was afraid that this person was exuding an indescribable hostility. Even Li Er, who had been in the military for a lifetime, couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he stood in front of him.
"Dare I ask, warrior, what is your name and where do you live? If you can serve the Great Tang, I can guarantee that you will live a life without worry.”Li Er said.
It was recorded in history that Li Erxi loved talent. Moreover, he had just ascended the throne not long ago. He was troubled internally and externally, so it was time to use people.
Although this person gave him a powerful pressure, if he could recruit him into the Great Tang, he would definitely become a tiger general. If he became an enemy, he would become the nightmare of the Great Tang.
However, at this moment.
The yellow sand that filled the sky strangely dispersed, and a red sun shone in the sky with dazzling light.
This person didn't answer any questions. Instead, he turned his horse around and galloped off into the distance.
Not long after he left, a poem that he had never heard before quietly floated into Li Er's ears.
" Life is full of joy. Don't let the golden cup face the moon. I'm born with talent. I'll come back when the money is gone. I'll cook sheep and slaughter cattle for fun. I'll drink 300 cups of wine at a time. Don't stop drinking."
"Ah?"
When he heard this poem, the sky once more became filled with dark clouds and yellow sand. It was as if countless Turkic cavalry were charging at him from all directions, their shouts shaking the heavens.
Li Er, who was sleeping, suddenly sat up from the dragon bed with cold sweat.
"Your Majesty!"
Just as Li Er woke up, the young eunuch who had been waiting outside came in to check in panic.
"How long have I been asleep?" Li Er asked, stroking his forehead.”
"Your Majesty, it has been four hours!”the young eunuch said.
"Four hours? I didn't expect this dream to last for so long. Hmm, I ask you, did anything happen during this period?”Li Er said.
"Your Majesty, Wei Wei, Duke Du, Xuan Ling, and Duke Qin are waiting in Taiji Palace!”the young eunuch said.
"Oh? Why are they here?"
Hearing this, Li Er was also shocked.
Whether it was Wei, Wei, Duke Du, Xuan Ling, or Duke Qin, they were all important ministers by Li Er's side.
For them to appear here at the same time, it was obvious that there was something very important.
Li Er sobered up a little, and then the young eunuch waited for him to change his clothes before he went straight to Taiji Palace.
