Almost One Step, Sealed Wolf Juxu!
Li Jing and Yuchi Gong led 120,000 troops, but after their defeat, only 70,000 to 80,000 remained.
There were 60,000 infantrymen and nearly 20,000 cavalry.
Hearing that Li Chengqian was determined to head to the hinterland of the Southern Desert, Li Jing and Yuchi Gong had no choice but to order the army to retreat from the desert. They personally led ten thousand elite cavalry to cooperate with Li Chengqian and head to the hinterland of the Southern Desert!
" Brother Yuchi," Li Jing said," we still have to write a letter to Chang 'an and inform His Majesty about what happened here. Otherwise, if something really happens to His Highness, we can't afford it!"”
"Yes, yes, Medicine Master is right." Yuchi Gong nodded repeatedly." I'm a rough person. I'll leave the writing of the letter to Apothecary.”
The letter went to Chang 'an along with the army that had withdrawn from the desert.
……
Let's talk about Li Chengqian.
After getting ready, they headed straight for the hinterland of the Southern Desert!
In a short eight days, they had traveled five to six hundred miles.
Every hundred li, they would encounter a Turkic camp. Li Chengqian had prepared a strategy beforehand and directly attacked.
The Turks were completely unprepared and were instantly slaughtered!
Li Jing and Yuchi Gong had been staying by Li Chengqian's side the entire time. Looking at Li Chengqian's one-hit-one-hit tactic, they were also extremely dumbfounded!
"Apothecary, why do I feel like His Highness already knew where the Turks were hiding?”Yuchi Gong muttered.
Li Jing nodded slightly." I've wanted to say that for a long time. It felt as if His Highness had predicted the future. This was too mysterious.”
"Sigh. If we knew this would happen, we wouldn't have needed to retreat.”Yuchi Gong chuckled.
"I originally thought that I would suffer serious damage after venturing deep into the heart of the Southern Desert, but I didn't expect it to go so smoothly.”As Li Jing spoke, he looked at the topographic map in Li Chengqian's hands!
Li Jing toot and gestured for Yuchi Gong to look in Li Chengqian's direction.
"Brother Yuchi, have you noticed that His Highness is holding that topographic map almost all the time?
But that map never let us see it!”
Yuchi Gong hurriedly nodded.
"I noticed it long ago. Even when he was arranging the battle, His Highness would use another piece of paper to outline the topographic map!
Apothecary, do you think that the topographic map in His Highness's hands is a divine item?”
Li Jing glared at Yuchi Gong." Confucius said not to confuse the gods with strange powers.”
Yuchi Gong pursed his lips." You only know how to speak human language.”
Li Chengqian kept the detailed map of the Southern Desert and took out a map that he had copied before walking towards Li Jing and the others.
"Your Highness, what can I do for you?"
"Generals, the Turkic royal court is over this mountain!”Li Chengqian's one sentence directly made Yuchi Gong and Li Jing's blood boil!
After this period of interaction, they were more convinced that the Crown Prince was indeed capable!
"Your Highness, when do you think we will attack?" Li Jing asked.
" We'll reach the summit before dark," Li Chengqian said." Once it's dark, we'll attack!"”
"Good!" Li Jing and Yuchi Gong felt that it was excellent!
……
Within the Turkic Imperial Court!
Knowing that the Third Prince was dead, Jie Li Khan was furious!
The Third Prince was Jie Li's most beloved son. If nothing unexpected happened, the position of the Great Khan would definitely belong to the Third Prince!
But now! The Third Prince was dead!
"Humph! Crown Prince Li Chengqian actually dared to kill my son! I will definitely capture him alive and skin him alive!”Jie Li Khan said fiercely, his eyes shining!
"Great Khan. The Cui family of Boling said that they had a secret message to report, but their messenger had not appeared. I'm afraid there's a trap!" a Turkic general said.
"It's just a mere Cui clan, not worth worrying about!”Jie Li Khan waved his hand.
"Great Khan, I'm afraid that the Cui Clan's envoy has been captured by Li Chengqian. When the time comes, if Li Chengqian knows the exact location of our Imperial Court, then it will be big trouble!”another Turkic general said.
"Haha!"
Jie Li Khan sneered!
"Just by relying on his three thousand cavalry? How ridiculous!
Li Jing and Yuchi Gong, two old generals, led hundreds of thousands of troops, but weren't they still killed by me!
He, Li Gaoming, is just a brat who is still wet behind the ears. With just 3,000 cavalry, he still wants to destroy my Imperial Court!
Ridiculous!"
Jie Li Khan was extremely arrogant!
Seeing that the Great Khan had made up his mind, the barbarian generals in the tent didn't try to persuade him.
"Men. Find a Han woman to skin me and make me feel good.”Jie Li revealed his ugly yellow teeth and shouted angrily. He urgently needed the Han people to vent his anger!
In the royal court, there were hundreds of Han people, both men and women, in the livestock fences that kept cattle and sheep.
The men were slaves who specialized in physical labor.
The women were also slaves, but sometimes, they had to vent their anger on these barbarians.
These Han men and women had all been captured by the Turkic barbarians when they were looting the borders.
After they were captured, they were raised like livestock!
"The Great Khan said that he wanted someone with tender skin.”
"Hehe, when I first caught it, it was still soft and tender. Where can I find it now?”
"I'll take this one. Her skin looks quite fair.”
As if picking a beast, a few savage-looking barbarians directly picked a Han woman. He took out the animal's rope and threw it fiercely, wrapping it around the woman's neck. Then, he pulled hard and pulled her out as if she was an animal!
"Preposterous!"
In the dark night! A secret place! Li Chengqian led the vanguard army and watched this scene quietly!
"These Turks are too barbaric!”Li Jing also cursed angrily!
"The great clans are all scolding me for being cruel, but have they ever thought about what kind of life the border people will have after being captured by the Turks?
It's as dark as the sun. I can't die!" Li Chengqian sighed.
For a moment!
Li Jing understood Li Chengqian very well!
The aristocratic families embezzled military rations and caused the defeat of the grasslands. The aristocratic families deserved to die!
"Your Highness is right!" Li Jing said in a deep voice. Those aristocratic families deserve to die!"
Hearing Li Jing's words, Li Chengqian smiled slightly.
"Good! After killing these barbarians, he would go back and kill those aristocratic families!”
As soon as he finished speaking!
Li Chengqian gave the order, and in an instant, the 3,000 Bei Wei Army charged out!
In the night, he charged forward like a ghost!
Li Chengqian was riding a Red Hare Horse and was leading the way!
