Li Er never dreamed that Li Yu, who had disappeared without a trace in Chang 'an, would appear in Duke Wei's Public House!
Moreover, he had become the son-in-law of Duke Wei's Public House!
How unbelievable!
No wonder he couldn't find her no matter how hard he tried. Who would have thought of hiding in Duke Wei's Public House?
Both civil and martial arts!
That's right, in the entire Chang 'an, besides my Dragon Son, who else could be so outstanding?!
Regret!
Li Er hated that he couldn't have discovered this earlier, and hated that Fang Xuanling and the others didn't tell him about this earlier!
Duke Wei's Public House.
After Li Er arrived in the carriage, he suddenly looked at Fang Xuanling and said,"
"Xuanling, I won't go down first. You go in and think of a way to call that Li Yu out.”
Li Yu still didn't know his identity. If he went to see him so rashly, he didn't know if this kid would resist.
Everything should be based on stability.
"Ah?"
Fang Xuanling was dumbfounded, not knowing what Li Er was up to.
Conceal?
"Don't worry so much. Just do as I say!”
Li Er glared at Fang Xuanling. The latter coughed dryly and nodded.
"Yes."
As he spoke, Fang Xuanling got off the carriage and entered the Duke of Wei's Mansion. Not long after, he hurried back.
"How is it? Have you seen Li Yu?"
Li Er looked at Fang Xuanling and asked happily,""Think of an excuse to ask him out. Zhen wants to see him.”
"Your, Your Majesty…"
Fang Xuanling couldn't help but gulp."
"There's news from Duke Wei's Public House that Li Yu has gone out…"
"Go, go on an expedition? What levy?"
Li Er's pupils constricted as he looked at Fang Xuanling in disbelief."
"You mean Li Yu followed Li Jing to the Eastern Turks?!!”
"Yes, that's right."
"Bastard!"
Li Er exploded with thunderous anger, the veins on his forehead bulging. He gritted his teeth and roared,
"Isn't he the son-in-law of Duke Wei's Public House? Li Jing is crazy. Bringing a young man like him out on an expedition, he, he…"
Li Er's breathing quickened as he spoke. He could not continue.
"I asked just now, and it was said that Li Yu insisted on following him to the expedition, and even Li Jing couldn't stop him.”
Fang Xuanling said nervously,"
"Li Jing had no choice but to personally lead Li Yu's soldiers out of the Eastern Turks…"
"Hu, hu…"
Li Er's breathing was heavy, and his pupils were trembling slightly. He remembered what Empress Zhangsun had said that day.
Don't teach the Hu horses to cross the Yin Mountains!
Could it be that this kid's ambition was to join the army and go on an expedition to expel the foreign tribes?
"Your, Your Majesty, what should we do next…"
Fang Xuanling's nervous voice sounded.
He didn't know why Li Er valued Li Yu so much. He didn't dare to ask, nor could he ask.
Li Er took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
At this moment, the army had already gone on an expedition and could not be called back even if they were summoned. How could an arrow not be drawn when it was already on the bow?
Moreover, Li Yu had his own ideas. What was the use of stopping him?
If Empress Zhangsun knew about this, she would definitely be frightened and unable to live. Li Er shouted,"
"Xuanling, immediately summon all the granaries in the world to prepare food to be sent to Feng Province, Youzhou, and other border provinces!”
"What? Your Majesty…"
"Summon the soldiers of the border and tell Li Ji, Li Daozong, and Xue Wanche to send troops to the northern borders and be ready to receive General Li Jing at any time!”
"Your Majesty, but, but…"
"What's wrong? You don't listen to my orders?!"
"Yes, this old minister will do as you say."
……
Five days later, inside the pass, Feng Province.
They marched without stopping. Li Jing led the soldiers to Feng Province.
The governor of Fengzhou had already received the imperial court's order to transport food supplies to Li Jing and the other soldiers.
To the north of Feng Province was the Yin Mountains, the border between the Great Tang and the Eastern Turks.
They only needed to cross the mountains to reach the Turkic steppe, and the battle was almost imminent!
At the campsite.
Tents were set up, and the soldiers were repairing themselves on the spot, starting a fire.
"Yu brat, take a rest when you reach the camp. Don't always carry a spear on your back. I'll help you take it down.”
Zhao Hu saw that Li Yu had been carrying a spear on his back, so he reached out to take the spear and put it aside.
If he didn't take it, he wouldn't know.
He was shocked!
Heavy!
Zhao Hu struggled with one hand and could only hold it firmly with both hands. He looked at Li Yu in disbelief and said,
"Yu boy, did you carry this thing all the way here?”
"What else?"
Li Yu dismounted and glanced at Zhao Hu. The latter gasped and said,
"Good fellow, you are indeed a freak. That horse of yours is also a freak. It was actually able to hold on all the way here!”
"Yuyu…"
The Scarlet Flame Horse raised its front hooves and flew into a rage. Li Yu patted it and said,
"He's praising you. You should eat something if you're hungry.”
Only then did the Scarlet Flame Horse put down its hooves. It snorted and turned around to go to the stable to look for food.
"Such an obedient and understanding horse. I'm so envious.”
Zhao Hu couldn't help but speak. Li Yu took the spear and hugged it in his arms. He sat down and took out some dry rations.
"If Battalion Commander Zhao wants one, you can go and tame one.”
"Ahem…"
Zhao Hu coughed dryly, and the soldiers around him laughed.
"Yu brat, don't joke around. How can Battalion Commander Zhao tame such a fierce horse?”
"I can't tame it, but can you? I'm your battalion commander. If anyone talks nonsense again, I'll punish you to run ten laps around the camp!”
Zhao Hu's eyes widened, and the soldiers around him smiled awkwardly, not daring to tease him anymore.
The military camps of the Tang Empire were divided into different levels. Now that the prefecture military system was implemented, the army was divided into regiments, which were also called battalions.
Immediately after, there were teams under the regiment. Each team led three groups, each group led five ten-men leaders, and each led ten men!
In short, each team had 150 people.
The five thousand cavalrymen that had set out this time was already the military strength of a prefecture. The commander was Li Jing.
They were divided into five battalions and dozens of teams.
Zhao Hu was Su Dingfang's deputy general, and he was the commander of Li Yu's battalion.
This fellow and Li Yu had become friends through a fight. He was a true person and had the best relationship with Li Yu.
"Battalion Commander Zhao, do you know what the situation is like on the Turkic side?”
Li Yu took the flatbread and started eating. He then asked Zhao Hu, who said,
"I don't know the details, these days the border soldiers have been asking about the Turkic steppe and haven't found any traces of Jie Li.”
"However, I've already figured out the current situation of the Eastern Turks.”
"Can you tell me?"
Li Yu quickly spoke up. Zhao Hu laughed and said,
"Among them are the tribes led by Xue Yantuo and Yi Nan. They dominate the northern desert and occupy half of the Eastern Turkic territory.”
"The other faction is led by Tuli Khagan, who has taken over the original Jie Li forces and occupied the eastern parts of the Khitans and the Turks!”
"Other than that, there are some scattered forces that are not to be feared. Where Jie Li is now is still a problem.”
"Oh?"
Li Yu's eyes lit up.
Wouldn't such a distribution of forces be exactly the same as recorded in the history of the Tang Dynasty?
Yi Nan had led Xue Yantuo to invade the Eastern Turks, while Tuli Khan had led his men to betray Jie Khan.
Then where Jie Li was, would it be similar?!
Thinking of this, Li Yu looked at Zhao Hu and said solemnly,"
"Battalion Commander Zhao, perhaps I know where Jie Li is hiding!”
