"Wait for me. I'll make contributions and go to Chang 'an to marry you!”
Lin Lie clenched his fists tightly. The gentleness on his face disappeared and was replaced by determination.
"General, you will. You have become famous in this battle. Everyone in Youzhou knows you.”
Su Dingfang, the deputy general behind him, suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Lie. His eyes were filled with admiration.
"The military merits belong to all our brothers in Stone City!”
Lin Lie smiled.
He suddenly thought of something and looked at Su Dingfang, asking,"Ding Fang, do you have any leads on the matter that you paid special attention to a few days ago?”
Hearing this,
"General," Su Dingfang shook his head,"the Great Khagan will lead his personal guards to the north once a year to demonstrate the might of the Turkic army.”
"Moreover, every year, they would choose a place near the border of the Great Tang and take advantage of the high morale to harass the Great Tang.”
"But this year's Northern Hunting Ground has yet to be decided. It has been several days since I sent out scouts, but there has been no news for the time being.”
"If I'm not wrong, the Turkic Great Khagan will definitely choose Stone City!”
Lin Lie said confidently.
"Why?"
Su Dingfang frowned.
"Because I killed a middle-sized Turkic tribe!”
He pointed at the huge mound three miles in front of the rock.
A massive stone tablet stood on the mound, on which were carved the words 'Kneeling the Turkic Helu Tribes'.
Stone City's general, Lin Lie, killed the soldiers of Stone City, which made the soldiers of Stone City proud.
Ever since he had killed the Turkic Helu tribe,
The small Turkic tribes around Stone City had never appeared within a hundred li of Stone City.
Although a medium-sized tribe had come with an army, when their leader led ten thousand cavalry and saw the spear-wielding Lin Lie standing on the stone city, and then looked at the stone tablet that read 'killing the Turkic Helu tribes', they actually chose to leave.
This made the soldiers in Stone City, who were preparing for a bloody battle, shout happily.
They kept shouting 'mighty general' and 'mighty general'!
Of course, the one who shouted the loudest was Su Dingfang.
He took a deep breath at Lin Lie's judgment. He also knew that the Great Khagan would most likely target Stone City in this northern expedition.
After all, Stone City's battle results were too dazzling.
It was so dazzling that the Great Tang people straightened their backs and the Turkic barbarians hurriedly retreated.
The Turkic Great Khagan definitely wanted to use this opportunity to bend the backs of the Great Tang once more and raise the morale of the Turkic tribes.
"If it's really as you say, then it will be an unprecedented disaster for Stone City.”
"Disaster?"
"Or perhaps, battle merits!"
Lin Lie's eyes flashed as he muttered with a fiery expression,""If the Great Turkic Khagan comes, I will definitely take his head and give it to Xue Yu in Chang 'an.”
"What?"
Su Dingfang was stunned and his entire body shook. It had to be said that Lin Lie's idea was too crazy.
Then, he laughed bitterly.
If he could obtain the head of the Great Turkic Khagan, he would naturally become a marquis.
And this Zhongwu General had actually chosen to take the head of the Great Turkic Khagan to please a woman?
It really made people laugh.
At this moment,
Suddenly,
Su Dingfang seemed to have sensed something. He frowned and saw someone riding a horse from outside the Stone City. When he saw the person, he said in surprise,"General, it's a scout sent by this general!”
The scout returned with injuries all over his body. He fainted when he returned to Stone City.
He had sent out a team, but only one person had returned.
After Lin Lie let the military doctor treat him, the scout horse named 'Second Ma' slowly woke up. He looked at Lin Lie and Su Dingfang, and before he could bow, he weakly said,"General, the Turks are here!"
"The Great Turkic Khagan has come in person. They're two hundred li away from the Verdant Pass Gorge!”
"As expected, their target for this year's Northern Hunt is our Youzhou, and the first target is Stone City!”
" He's really here?!"
Hearing this,
Su Dingfang's heart suddenly shook.
Lin Lie's eyes flashed, and his expression was filled with joy. He walked straight to the simple General's Estate.
After Su Dingfang consoled Ma Second with a few words, he followed closely behind and chased after him.
When he returned to the tent, he saw Lin Lie bending over to look at the map. The place he was looking at was the Verdant Pass Gorge.
When he saw Su Dingfang walk in, he stretched out his hand and nodded heavily towards the direction of the Green Pass Gorge."Dingfang, I'm going to bring my brothers to do something big!”
......
......
At the same time,
In the Governor's Office of Zhuo Prefecture, Youzhou,
When Li Jing received the news from Chang 'an City that His Majesty had summoned Lin Lie, he stood up and prepared to ride his horse to Stone City. However, at this moment, he suddenly received a letter. This letter was written by his old friend, Duke Qiao, Chai Shao.
He finished reading the letter with doubt and could not help but laugh bitterly."Lin Lie and Xue Yu, that girl, are engaged to be married privately. I'm afraid they've encountered a huge obstacle. I didn't expect the Empress to be extremely dissatisfied.”
He shook his head and mounted his horse. He looked in the direction of Stone City and muttered,""Counting the days, it's time for the Turkic barbarians to go north.”
"That kid Lin Lie killed a Turkic tribe and will definitely enrage the Turkic Tuli Khagan.”
"This is a troubled time. This old man still needs to personally go to Stone City to see Lin Lie."
