Jie Li took out a command arrow, wrote a letter himself, and then called Fuli to give it to Zhishili.

Asunasmo was a Tuli man, and Jie Li knew very well. He originally wanted Asunasmo to recover Lingzhou and was about to use Li Chao's hands to deal with Asunasmo. By the way, he could have an excuse to go south.

But now, I don’t have the energy to take care of Shuofang for the time being.

Now is not the time to deal with Ashinasmo, so as to transfer this Hu Zong back to avoid Tuli having an excuse to provoke trouble. After all, he has only been in the position of Khan for three years, and Tuli has been in the eastern part for many years. Tuli's strength is not much weaker than his Dahan, and now he has to be united in his uncle and nephew.

First, endure the sudden sharpness, and endure the Ashnasmo.

"Give the information that Li Chao captured Shuofang."

Jie Li frowned and turned to several Turkic women and said.

Several Turkic women were not just servants who served him, but were carefully selected and even trained. They could not only serve him, but also help him handle some affairs, and were his good assistants.

The military information about Li Chao's troops capturing Shuofang was quickly drawn out and sent to Jie Li.

Jie Li took these information one by one.

In mid-March, Li Chao suddenly led 20,000 troops to Lingzhou, without any warning, and the preparation time was very short. The march was extremely fast on the road. Not only did he travel more than a thousand miles in half a month, but he also quickly destroyed the Liang Shidu.

After that, he divided his troops to capture Yanxia, ​​Yansui and other states, and even fought to the south of Fengsheng states, which was as fast as fire. Now, Li Chao led another 50,000 people to occupy Wubao, which is the Nanmen Bridgehead of Fengzhou.

In addition, from Hexi to Hebei, this series of abnormal movements of the Tang army.

These abnormal movements seem to be very surprising.

Jie Li frowned, and he suddenly felt that he might have underestimated Tang Jun.

The Tang army's abnormal movements didn't look like they were just making gestures. They seemed to be really ready to fight together.

"Where did Li Shimin get the courage? Where did Li Chao get the confidence?"

Jie Li was shocked by his thoughts, and he shook his head. No, it must be just his own illusion. Although the Tang army was established for six years, it had just been unified by the Central Plains. It was only a month since the Liang army was destroyed. How could they have the courage to go north to stroke the Turkic tiger beard?

Do they think that the Western Turkic regime Ye Hu would really fight the Eastern Turkic battle for them?

No, Tong Ye Hu might feel that his wings were hard, so he sent a few soldiers to Jinshan to show off, and even secretly contacted the Tielite tribes in Mobei to cause destruction. But he would say that Tong Ye Hu would immediately advance eastward now, which was not believed.

Yes, the Tang army and the Western Turks may be just making postures.

However, after looking back, Jie Li looked at the entire operation of Li Chao seizing Shuofang. His suddenness of sending troops, the speed of marching, the decisiveness of using troops, and the result of seizing Shuofang in those battles, all made Jie Li feel incredible.

Judging from paper, it is really hard to imagine this battle.

The Liang army had a Shuofang, with a total of no less than 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and even temporary mobilization could raise tens of thousands. The Liang army had lands in several states and nearly 100,000 soldiers, but it took Li Chao a month to perish.

Especially in the battle at Qingtongxia, he was so amazed.

It’s not that Master Liang is too incompetent, but Li Chao is actually a bit too powerful. Jie Li has seen Master Liang many times and still has some understanding of this person. He is not a hero, but he is also a hero and has his abilities. But under Li Chao’s attack, this person is no different from a fool. As soon as he fights, he is taken away by someone.

This Li Chao's use of troops is too elusive.

Now Li Chao and 50,000 troops are stationed in Wubao, only 180 miles away from Fengzhou Tangkou.

This distance seems a bit too short for Li Chao.

"I was granted the title of the governor of Fengzhou for generations." He silently said, "Will this Li Chao be granted the title of the governor of Fengzhou for generations be risky?"

"Add a command to Zhishili and let him transfer 10,000 cavalry to Fengzhou to garrison."

There were originally five thousand cavalry in Fengzhou, plus three thousand of Asunasmo, and now there is another ten thousand, which is 18,000 cavalry. With so many people, Li Chao dare not do anything, right?

What Jie Li was most unsure of was that Li Chao had only one month to seize Shuofang. The most incredible thing was that Li Chao had less than a thousand soldiers to seize a Shuofang with 100,000 troops. To be precise, all of this was the casualties of those surrendered soldiers.

Li Chao led 20,000 troops northward. After conquering Shuofang, the 20,000 troops were not lost, and the troops expanded to 100,000.

Even if Jie Li knew that there would be a lot of water in these 100,000 soldiers, it would be amazing enough to take down Shuofang without damage.

He suddenly felt that he was not so confident.

After all the calculations, he always felt that Li Chao could not estimate the expectations.

Will Li Chao go north to attack Fengzhou without the common sense? Jie Li shook his head. He felt it was unlikely. Unless Li Chao was crazy, otherwise he should know what the consequences would be.

If he dares to attack Fengzhou, it means he will directly stroke the tiger's beard. It will be a full-scale war between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, and Li Tang cannot afford such consequences. Even if Li Chao is a madman, Li Shimin should not be such a madman.

It seems that I have to send an envoy to Chang'an to put some pressure on Li Shimin to control Li Chao, the madman.

Thinking of this, Jie Li stroked his beard and smiled and said to himself, "This Li Chao is really a rare guy. It is probably Yang Su from the Sui Dynasty that year. The madman Yang Su met Datou Khan on the grassland. Generally, the Sui army often used chariot formation tactics when fighting against Turkic cavalry, but the madman Yang Su took the initiative to withdraw his antler chariot and used cavalry to charge first.

Yang Su used 80,000 cavalry to fight against the Turkic Datou 100,000 cavalry, and the two armies launched a super cavalry battle. As a result, Yang Su, the madman, won, defeated Datou Khan and fled.

Famous generals of the Sui Dynasty appeared, such as Shi Wansui, Han Qinhu, He Ruobi, Zhang Xutuo, Lai Hu'er, Changsun Sheng, etc., but what Jie Li admired the most was Yang Su.

Yang Su led his troops to fight and had never been defeated. Whether it was a battle between the south and the north, east and west, land, cavalry, or water battle, there was no battle he could not win, or even defeated the cavalry with fewer or more and foot battles. Yang Su was born to be a commander.

Now, I never expected to meet someone who is as similar to Yang Su.

Li Chao and Li Wenyuan.

Moreover, there is a very similarity between Li Chao and Yang Su, which is that they are not only good at commanding troops, but also capable of martial arts and literary skills. Yang Su is the prime minister of the Sui Dynasty. Li Chao is younger and is also the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

"Maybe for another twenty years of experience, you can really become another Yang Su. Unfortunately, you meet me. I will never give you twenty years. Shuofang Jiedushi, you can only be considered unlucky. When I turn back and get rid of the sudden losses, I will deal with you first."

The Turkic maid brought a plate of roasted lamb.

The fragrance permeates.

"Shan, what wine should I drink today?"

"Horse milk or wine?"

Jie Li glanced at the mutton and said, "Come on a beer bar and ask for dark beer."

I used a knife to cut the roasted crispy lamb, picked up the maid's poured dark beer, forked a piece of lamb, and then got a glass of dark beer. It was really delicious.

"It is said that this beer was also invented by Li Chao, or was it theirs?"

"Well, yes, the white wine, beer, even wine, fruit wine, and rice wine on the grassland are all produced by the Li family."

"Well, this Li Chao." Jie Li shook his head and continued to drink and eat meat. However, the maids could not guess what the sentence that was sweating meant.

Hedong.

Yanmen Pass.

Looking north from Guanshan Mountain, Shuozhou is.

Li Jing stood on the gate, stroking his beard, Shuozhou, which was a place he was very familiar with. Shuozhou was also called Mayi County during the Sui Dynasty. At that time, he was the county magistrate in Mayi.

There, guarding the frontier for many years.

But now, north of Yanmen Pass is the territory of the Turks. Mayi is also occupied by rebels such as Yuan Junzhang. Yuan Junzhang was once a subordinate of Liu Wuzhou and also Liu Wuzhou's in-laws.

At that time, Liu Wuzhou was just a general of Ying Yanglang under Li Jing's subordinates.

Later, he discovered that Li Yuan from Taiyuan had a rebellion, so he deliberately charged himself with a charge and asked someone to escort him to Chang'an and go to Jiangdu, hoping to go to Yang Guang from Jiangdu to rebel with Li Yuan.

As a result, before leaving Chang'an, Li Yuan had already raised an army to invade Chang'an and captured him.

His former immediate superior, Li Yuan, seized Guanzhong and proclaimed himself emperor.

The original subordinate Liu Wuzhou later raised an army to rebel against the Tang Dynasty and once occupied Hedong.

Time changes and things change

Many years later, he was determined to be loyal to the Great Sui Dynasty and to revenge Li Yuan’s rebellion, and now he has become a general of the Li Tang Dynasty. And Liu Wuzhou, the subordinate who was determined to be the ruler of the world, had already become ancient, and the remaining subordinate Yuan Junzhang relied on the Turks to occupy Shuozhou for separatist rule.

Li Tang has captured the world.

But outside Yanmen Pass, it has not been recovered.

Outside Yanmen Pass, Mayi County, Dingxiang County.

Today, on the map of the Tang Dynasty, outside Yanmen Pass is marked as Shuozhou, Yunzhou and the northeast of Daizhou, and Weizhou.

But the three states of Shuo, Yun and Wei are still in the hands of the Turks.

Li Jing became the chief governor of Hedong Road, but he could only rely on Loufan Pass, Yanmen Pass, and Taixi Pass to defend the inner Great Wall and the Daibei region on the front line of the Great Wall outside Hedong.

"Master, Li Pingzhang is taking risks. Why didn't the Master write a letter to object?" A Hedong general stood beside him and asked Li Jing.

"It's true that there are some dangers, but hasn't Wenyuan already captured Shuofang?"

The general shook his head, "It's one thing to conquer Shuofang, but it's another thing to send troops to Fengzhou. What's more, Li Pingzhang not only had to take risks himself, but also had to take the general to risk together. He sent troops to Fengzhou, and also wanted the general to go out of Yanmen Pass to conquer Mayi. Alas, the strength of the Turks is there, this is too dangerous, I'm afraid the loss will be won in the end."

This time Li Jing did not agree with the general's words.

"We must be stable when using troops, but sometimes, we cannot just seek stability as generals. We must take action when it is time to take action. Wen Yuan is not the kind of person who is greedy for merit and proactive. He said that he can fight, that means he can fight!"

"Master General, when it comes to using troops to fight, Li Pingzhang is not as rich as you."
