"Auntie, you know that I don't like him, I'm tired of it, and I don't want to fight anymore, Auntie, just let me go!" Luo Xiaoyi begged.
Sighed lowly, Chang looked at Luo Xiaoyi and said, "If I had known this, I shouldn't have let you approach the King of Shu, but where can you go now alone?"
"I can go anywhere, I just want to find a quiet place to live, and I don't want to live in fear every day anymore." Luo Xiaoyi shook the white jade flute that shook hands, her eyes were filled with a touch of sadness, and now she has come to this step , there is nothing worth her efforts.
Chang hesitated for a while. She and Luo Xiaoyi have lived together for so many years, and she has no affection for Luo Xiaoyi. She understands Luo Xiaoyi's thoughts, and even feels a little guilty for her, because Luo Yi was not Li Shimin back then. It was because his subordinates rebelled and took Luo Yi's life, and now that the war is imminent, the intelligence network they had built for many years was destroyed by Su Morer in a short period of time. It can be said that their mission is basically completed. The rest is the war between Jieli and Li Shimin.
"Okay, aunt promises you." Chang said.
Luo Xiaoyi showed a hint of joy and said: "Auntie, let's go together!"
"No, you can leave, but I can't. You are right. We and Xieli have always used each other. Now we basically have no use value for them, but my son is still in Xieli's hands. , I don’t know what will happen if I go this time, it’s a good thing if you don’t go, that Junshi Xu is not a good person, if you want to go, just go!” Chang said, gritted her teeth.
"Auntie..." Luo Xiaoyi looked at Chang, not knowing what to say for a while.
"Let's go, the farther you go, the better, Auntie, I'm sorry..." Chang said suddenly, she was not a gentle woman in the past, her life was just a husband's education. But the cruelty of the Emperor's House forced her to this dead end step by step, leaving her with nowhere to go. Now, facing Luo Xiaoyi, she couldn't bear her to be like herself again, walking on this road with no future at all. the way.
After saying this, Chang shook the reins, and left quickly without looking back. She knew that if she tried her best to stay. Luo Xiaoyi will definitely stay by her side, but she doesn't want to let her accompany her to continue her adventures.
Looking at Chang’s going away, Luo Xiaoyi rode a horse towards the opposite place. Maybe she will usher in a new life, maybe a faster death, but everything is no longer important at this time...
After receiving the information from Li Yin that day, Li Shimin mobilized the government soldiers from various states to gather in the northern Lingzhou area. Just as Li Yin said, the grassland has begun to change. This time Li Shimin is also doing his best to prepare for a decisive battle with Jieli. At the same time, Li Shimin's target also includes the Xue Yantuo tribe in the north. He is going to pacify the northern grassland at once, so this battle almost exhausted the power of the Tang Dynasty. For this reason, Li Shimin decided to drive himself to conquer.
"Father, don't worry! My son will definitely handle state affairs with all his heart." The army marched out, and Li Shimin wore a full-body battle armor specially customized for him by Li Yin, riding a horse with majesty. And the three thousand imperial guards who accompanied him were all covered with well-protected plate armor. Li Shimin believed that they had their protection. Your own safety and security.
Before leaving, Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian and Li Tai. It is customary for emperors to go out to fight in the **** country, but he was still a little worried about this, so he said to Changsun Wuji: "Auxiliary machine, I am not in Chang'an, you must You have to help the Empress Dowager and the King of Wei well, you two should stop fighting as brothers, and deal with state affairs together."
Nodding his head, Li Shimin reined in his horse and left. The 300,000 troops marched to the north. After more than ten years of recuperation, the Tang Empire has enough ability to launch a large-scale war, especially in Yizhou. The development of agriculture has provided Datang with a steady supply of grain and grass, which is why Li Shimin decided to do it once and for all, and the time is ripe.
Li Yin and Li Shimin were making preparations in the south and north at the same time. After receiving the information from the Chang family, Jie Li and Moxi Man Wang were also preparing for war. As they become stronger, their chances of victory will become increasingly slim. Taking advantage of Yizhou's empty troops, this will be the best opportunity to attack.
"Khan, the 200,000 cavalry are ready to go at any time!" The person who spoke to Xieli was a senior man wearing a blue round-neck gown with a gloomy face.
Jieli nodded, and said, "Mr. Xu, as long as you help me with all your strength, if you can destroy Datang, I will fulfill the original promise and let you have the right to be under one person and over ten thousand."
Master Xu showed a hint of rebelliousness on his face, and said: "Don't worry Khan, our 200,000 cavalry, together with Xue Yantuo's 200,000 cavalry, will surely defeat Datang's army this time, but it's a pity that the artillery So far, I have not been able to research it.” He was originally a down-and-out scholar, and he was introduced to Xieli by the Chang family, but it has to be said that he is indeed talented, and he soon became a very trusted minister of Xieli. .
"There is no need to worry about this, artillery? I think it is just a deliberate bragging of the people of Tang." Jie Li sneered a few times, and said: "The whole army set off."
In Yizhou, Li Min had already received the news of Li Shimin’s personal expedition through the radio. At this time, he had already arrived in Yizhou’s most remote state—Xianzhou. This is the place where the Tang Dynasty often exiled officials. It can be seen that the remoteness and barrenness of this place used to be obvious. , but after nearly five years of construction, this place is also a thriving scene at this time. Although the population is smaller, but because of the popularity of various crops, at least here will not be as poor as before.
"Your Highness, the reconnaissance team has sent the information. Mo Ximan divided the army into five groups and marched towards Yizhou. At present, they have left the mountainous area, and we are still five days away from us." After arriving in Xunzhou, Li Min said They have been waiting for the news from the human balloon reconnaissance team. What they see in the sky is more extensive, and they will not be noticed. Even if they are discovered, they will not understand what it is.
"Five Route Army? How many are there?" Li Yin asked again.
Xue Rengui said: "A total of about 200,000 people."
"Since this is the case, we will divide our troops into five groups, with thousands of people in each group and adopt tactics of annihilation." What Li Yin is most worried about is not being able to accurately grasp the movement of the Moxie barbarian army. Once he grasps the movement of the army now, he will not There is no need to worry. The Yizhou army equipped with third-generation weapons can easily destroy these enemies. What he is more worried about is the war in the north. It would be troublesome at that time, so he wanted to end the battle here as soon as possible, and drew out his troops from Songzhou, bypassing Tuyuhun, and directly copied Jieli's back route, completely flattening the grassland.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Xue Rengui responded. Li Yin handed over the command of this battle to him. Xue Rengui is the only general left in the village.
At this time, the Moxie barbarian army did not know that their actions had all been known by Li Yin, and the Five Route Army was marching towards Yizhou.
"My lord, what is this thing in the sky?" Why can I always see it these two days? Zha Kesu pointed to a black dot in the sky and said that since he left Yizhou four years ago and returned to the tribe, he has been helping the Mo some barbarian kings to unify other tribes. Now four years have passed, and they have finally defeated other tribes with advanced swords tribe.
Standing beside Zaksu was a thick, two-meter-tall Khan. He looked up at the sky and said, "I'm also a little strange, maybe it's a flying bird." After all, He looked at the advancing army and said: "Let the army not loot along the way. Our goal is Yizhou, so as not to overwhelm the snake."
