"The Qajali Khan's office was very simple. When he saw something bad, he didn't care about the situation and issued the order to withdraw the troops. Although General Yaljin was very dissatisfied among the chaotic army, he did not

The only solution was to lead the army back to the north bank and conduct a careful inventory. At that moment, thousands of people were lost. This made the old general heartbroken. But when Shiluo Die also withdrew,

Only then did he realize how lucky he was that Shiluo Die's army actually lost nearly 20,000 men, and Shi Luo Die himself was seriously injured.

"Your Majesty, do you want to pursue us?" Xu Shiji couldn't help but asked when he saw that the opponent had retreated.

"The opponent's main force has not been damaged and is still capable of fighting. What's more, our army does not have much advantage in field battles. Once we cross the Wei River to attack, we will probably suffer heavy losses.

Lu Zhaoci thought for a while, then shook his head.

"I just don't know where the general is now?" Cheng Yaojin asked with his head lowered.

"If Lian is right, the general may have gone deep into the grassland." Lu Zhaoci shook his head and said, "The general wants to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao. If the leader leads the army south, then his grassland must be empty. General

Went to attack his lair."

"Most of the troops in the hands of the general are infantry, and their movement speed is far inferior to those of the Turks. I am afraid that their role is only to intimidate the leader and make him withdraw his troops quickly." Xu Shiji was obviously not optimistic about the actions of Li Jing's army.

"Yes, the general's move is probably just to intimidate Lingli and force the opponent to retreat." Lu Zhaoci looked at the slowly retreating army of Lingli opposite him indifferently, his eyes were dark, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

When Xu Shiji and other generals saw this, they did not dare to disturb him.

"Instructions to set up camp!" After a long sound, the birth certificate said: "Send people to patrol the Wei River Basin. Beware of night marches and sneak attacks on Chang'an."

"I obey the order." Xu Shiji and others did not dare to neglect, and quickly ordered people to set up camp by the Wei River. At this time, it was already the most critical moment, and Xu Shiji acted even more cautiously.

"Khan." In the Turkic tent, Bote looked at the gloomy-faced Lingli Khan and said:

"Khan, don't worry. As long as Tuli and Qilan Heli come and merge with the Khan, our army can still win. Although Lu Zhaoci came with reinforcements, I think they just came in a hurry.

, there are actually not many reinforcements.”

"I'm not afraid of Lu Zhaoci in front of me. I'm worried about the grassland." Lingli Khan said fiercely: "Li Jing hasn't come yet. Do you think he is in Jingzhou? Or he went somewhere else."

"Khan thinks he went to the grassland?" Bo Tie asked in surprise.

"It's possible." Fanli Khan thought deeply: "The Central Plains people like to surround Wei and rescue Zhao. Li Jing is a master of military use. He will not be unaware of the current situation. If there are enough reinforcements, neither side will be able to take advantage.

Even Lu Zhaoci himself is not sure that he can compete with our Turkic cavalry in the field, so the only possibility is that the grassland is unstable and we have to return to the grassland. Li Jing must be able to see the mystery of this. So as the Tang Dynasty

The general, there is a crisis in the capital, but it has not appeared yet, so the only possibility is that he went to the grassland."

"Well, what should we do? What if the tribal leaders know this?" Bo Tie's expression changed after hearing this. You must know that this grassland is different from the Central Plains. The orders of the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty are supreme.

They can all command everything they encounter, but the grassland is different. It is a relatively loose tribal alliance, without even a country title. Even though Lingli is now a khan, many things are controlled by others. In the

On the grassland, although the Ashina tribe is very powerful, the other tribes are not bad either. What's more, these tribes are the same as the aristocratic families in the Central Plains. When encountering danger, the first thing they think of is their own tribe, not the entire tribe.

Grassland. This time, Li Li raised troops to go south. Not only the Ashina tribe was recruited, but also other tribes. Once these people know that Li Jing has led the grassland, they will definitely clamor to return to the grassland and will not be willing to follow the leader.

Li confronted Lu Zhaoci at the gates of Chang'an City.

"Actually, Lu Zhaoci is in a difficult situation now!" Jali Khan thought deeply: "If we stay here for one day, it will be a blow to his prestige. The land of Guanzhong is his fundamental place. We stay here."

The day before, his losses would have been greater. So, he is eager for us to leave."

"What does Khan mean?" Bo Tie asked in surprise. "Now we can only have peace talks with Lu Zhaoci." Lingli Khan nodded and said: "It was wrong to rush south this time. We

The rear is not stable. Tuli and Qixinheli are just ready to see my joke. Yinan and his son are not good people either. They are expanding eastward and expanding their territory. No matter whether we defeated Lu Zhaoci

We were still defeated at the hands of Lu Zhaoci. None of them would feel comfortable being the leader of his tribe. They would all take the opportunity to raise troops to rebel against me. The instability of our retreat was the key point of our failure this time. So, we returned to the army.

First restore the grassland. Then raise troops and go south. Whether it passes through Jingzhou, Yanmen, or Youzhou, it is a good route. The border of the Tang Dynasty is really too big. The army in Lu Zhaoci's hands is too big.

It's not easy to garrison. Our cavalry on the grassland is so powerful that it can restrain the infantry in the Central Plains. As long as the grassland is stable, it won't be too late to go south. Tomorrow, when you go to see Chen Zhaoci, Lu Zhaoci must also be there at this time.

Nice to meet you."

"I will go tomorrow." Bo Tie also knew that the matter was impossible, so he had no choice but to comply.

Lu Zhaoci, who was in the camp opposite, also fell into thinking about what to do next. He had no idea. The army of Lingli Khan opposite might not have much food and grass. Maybe Li Jing would do it at this time.

The killings have begun on the grassland, but nothing can change the fact. That is, the opponent's army has arrived below your capital. If Lingli Khan fights to the death, he will give Lu Zhaoci and the entire Tang Dynasty

The loss caused is immeasurable. This kind of loss is not something Lu Zhaoci can bear, nor can the Tang Dynasty bear it. Chang'an may really be turned into ruins by then. Lu Zhaoci may also

The only option is to move the capital.

War or peace?

"Your Majesty, Lord Shangshu Pushe Benwen is here to see you outside the tent."

"Mr. Ben?" Lu Zhaoci's eyes lit up. He said quickly: "Please come soon." If you want to know what happened after the funeral, please log in. There are more chapters, support the author, and support genuine reading!
