Chapter 369

But before returning to the Uighurs, Mou Yu Khan had to go to Lingzhou first and take the soldiers outside the city back. After finally finding them back, Mou Yu Khan discovered a fact that he could not accept, that was, the outside of the city was empty, and the soldiers stationed here and the Tubo people had no idea where they were stationed here.

Mou Yu Khan didn't know how this trick became, but he knew that Li Yi was better than him, and no Tubo people could see it. As for where he went, he also had his own guesses.

"Khan, what should I do now?"

"Retreat to my Uighur territory! This time, we can't hesitate anymore. The best opportunity is that we have lost it!"

This time was a very rare time when Mou Yu Khan admitted defeat, but it was already the best decision for him and his Uighurs.

In the city, Li Yan sat in the main seat with a big horse with a golden sword. Guo Xi below said, "Your Majesty, the Uighur cavalry has just returned. When we arrived several miles away from the city, we may have found that the troops outside our city were gone, so we chose to escape and took the cavalry directly to the Uighur direction! Your Majesty, should we chase or not?"

Nan Jiyun had already arrived beside Li Yan. He immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, when I arrived before, you were almost the same as the Tubo people. My soldiers from Hebei have not used all their strength. This time I will let me chase the Uighurs. I think they have been scared and will not have any great ability!"

Although he has been the governor of Hebei Dao for some time, Nan Jiyun is obviously still in the same temper and never admits to his conscience in war.

Nan Jiyun was also very happy to meet Zhang Xun and Lei Wanchun again this time. Although Hebei Road is the place where he can decide, he still feels quite lonely without his brothers. Now that he has such a chance, Nan Jiyun naturally didn't say anything and just came over.

After hearing Nan Jiyun's words, Li Jue shook his head and smiled, "No need. This time, the Uighurs returned to their territory, which obviously can be calmed down for a while. Now the troops in Hebei Road have not yet recovered, and you have to check and balance with Luo and Pugu tribes. We cannot suck our troops rashly. This time, the revenge of the Shuofang Army is avenged. The old general is fine, so I feel relieved. As for the fact that Chisong Dezan also ran away, let him run away. I didn't think that I could keep him here this time. It would be a matter of time before we destroy them. Our Tang Dynasty cannot mess up our own rhythm because of rushing to destroy them!"

After Li Yan said this, everyone nodded. Whether it was Guo Ziyi or Nan Jiyun, they all felt that Li Yan had really changed a lot after he ascended the throne.

If this were not done before, Li Neng would never let the Uighurs go so easily. Even if he fought without some people, he would have to let the Uighur cavalry return to his territory in a mess. But now, Li Neng's vision has been very long-term, and the hunger he could see was obviously the future of the Tang Dynasty.

It was not until the Uighurs really walked away that everyone was really contented.

Guo Ziyi and Guo Xi escaped from death this time, and were in his Shuofang Jiedushi. Although his body could no longer beg and chat with Li Yan and the others, he still asked Guo Xi to organize a banquet on his behalf.

There was snow outside the window, and the north wind blew, and the people in the house were drinking wine and eating meat in big mouthfuls.

This is a feeling that Li Neng has never felt in the past few months since he ascended the throne. He seemed to recall the celebration banquet after he captured a large tomb with his comrades in his previous life, or when he was in Suiyang, he put a table in the prefect's mansion with Zhang Xun and others if he had anything to do.

Such a scene always makes Li Qing cherish it because this time has passed, and the next time is not certain at any time.

Everyone drank almost overnight. Of course, before that, Li Yan had already sent a letter to Xu Yuan of Chang'an City, saying that he had defeated the coalition forces of the Uighurs and Tubo people, and would arrange the Shuofang army next, and then they would rush back to Chang'an City as soon as possible.

After all, I don’t know what kind of virtue it is in Chang'an City and the court after I left. If Xu Yuan and Liu Yan couldn’t control those people, there would definitely be no good situation in Chang'an City now.

After the letter was sent out, Li Qing stayed intoxicated all night with the mentality of being at peace since he was here. Of course, when he opened his eyes the next day, he knew that he should handle the important matter again.

After gathering all the prominent people here, Li Ning directly entered the main topic after winning the battle.

"Your Dukes should also know that this Shuofang is a very strategic position. It has been guarded by the old general here for many years. It is considered foolproof. After this battle, I have made a decision. This time when I return to Chang'an City, the Guo family and his son must follow me back!"

This sentence is decisive. Guo Ziyi wanted to say something after hearing it, but after looking down at her hands and feet, she didn't say a word.

On the contrary, Guo Xi, who was sitting next to Guo Ziyi, breathed a long sigh. Of course he knew what his father was in physical condition. If he continued to stay here, he would not be able to go back to Chang'an City in another one or two years, so he agreed with Li Qing's words.

But Guo Ziyi is no longer here. Who else can guard this place? It is definitely not enough that the Shuofang Army has only 10,000 people left after this battle.

What will Li Qing arrange for this matter is what everyone really wants to know.

"As for the position of the governor of Shuofang, after thinking about it, there are two candidates, one is Li Siye and the other is Lei Wanchun. Now in the position of Assistant Minister of War, General Lei cannot fully exert his ability!"

When talking about Lei Wanchun, Li Qing deliberately said this more. In fact, those who are interested can hear it. Li Qing said this, obviously because he wanted Lei Wanchun to do this even more.

But after he finished speaking about the two candidates, no one, including Lei Wanchun, stood up to respond to Li Lan, which once made the scene at that time fall into a long embarrassment.
