Chapter 358? What does the Northern Expedition have to do with us?

No one expected that a small milk powder workshop would have such a great effect.

Li Ji's eyebrows were almost twisted into a big bump. He stared at Hegan Chengji for a while and said, "General Hegan, how many people do you think you need to recover Dingxiang City."

Hegan Chengji said: "There is not too many people, a thousand people are enough."

Seeing that Hegan Chengji agreed so happily, Li Jing and Li Ji looked at each other and said solemnly: "Okay, you go back and prepare now. Tomorrow morning, the front army will send troops to Dingxiang City."

"No!" Although Hegan Chengji agreed, he did not leave immediately.

"Hegan Chengji, what else do you have?" Li Jing said a little unhappy.

"The chief executive, there is a kind of mercy in his post. Do you see if you can release the vanguard officer first? He trained the front army with one hand. If he is not here, he will be afraid..."

"You don't have to worry about this matter, go back and reorganize the army first."

"No!" Seeing Li Jing say this, Hegan Chengji nodded dejectedly and left the central army's tent with a little disappointment.

Li Jing's voice came from behind: "Where is Su Lie?"

Su Lie and Su Dingfang were already anxious to wait, and immediately stood up when he heard the sound, with a vigorous fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.

Since being re-sumed by Li Er, Su Lie has been looking forward to a war to show his strengths. Now the opportunity has finally come.

Li Jing was very satisfied with Su Lie's attitude, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Tomorrow I will be with you three thousand cavalrymen, responsible for supporting the front army. If the war is not good, you can wait for an opportunity to act."

"No, I will take the order!"

Even Su Lie didn't take the vanguard army led by Li Hao, let alone Li Jing and other old generals, even Su Lie didn't take it seriously.

The soldiers who were led by Prince Liu may be good to show off. If you really go to the battlefield, it would be great if you can't pee your pants. As for the so-called musket, it has not been tested by the battlefield, who knows if it can come in handy?

After arranging the two generals to the battlefield, Li Jing looked at his old friend: "Mr. Maogong, the battle in Dingxiang is of great significance. It is related to our army's morale. What else do you have to be the first to charge?"

Although Li Jing was kind to him, Li Ji did not make himself perform too specially. He stood up and said, "After everything is arranged by the chief executive."

"Since that's the case, I understand that I will lead 10,000 infantry troops to station in Yunzhou to prevent Jie Li from stealing the camp?"

"Subscribe to the order!"

Next, Li Jing arranged another battle, such as if the battle was fought in Dingxiang City, and so what if it could not be fought. By the time all the business was handled, it was already dark.

Outside the central army's tent, the personal army had prepared the war horses. Just waited for the meeting to be completed, Li Jing set out as quickly as possible to head straight to Yunzhou City.

Li Hao was almost idle these days in prison. When he was idle, he asked someone to go to the city to find a carpenter to get a mahjong. He just pulled the prisoner to set up the Great Wall every day, and lost him. If he lost, the prisoner took the money and left.

If you don’t have much money, just want to have fun. It’s better to win or lose than to slap the face.

When the chief general of Dingxiang Road came to the prison, he happened to catch up with Li Hao's Hu card. From a distance, he heard the wooden card falling on the table. At the same time, there was a voice shouting: "Five Tongs, Hu. Give money, give money quickly!"

Li Jing couldn't hear his son's voice. He was furious and strode into the prison despite the obstruction of the Yunzhou sect Cheng Wenle: "Rebellious, I must tear your legs today."

Li Hao didn't expect the old man to come so quickly. He was shocked and rushed into the prison cell, closed the door, and shouted to the prison guard: "Old Wang, come and lock it up quickly, please don't let others come in."

However, the prison guard dared not move at this time. With Li Jing's rebellious voice and Li Hao's reaction, the fool knew who was coming.

That was the first-class Duke of the dynasty, the chief marching officer of the Dingxiang Road. Not to mention that Lao Wang was just a prison guard, even if he was the commander of Yunzhou, he would not dare to commit rashness in front of Li Jing.

Seeing that the card friend Lao Wang could no longer count on him, Li Hao started begging for mercy with Li Jing again: "Dad, don't be excited, dad, it's a reason for the child to be locked up. This is all because of that old guy Li Ji is not missing the old love and avenge his private revenge. Don't listen to his words."

Brine and tofu, one thing is reduced to another.

Seeing that Li Hao, who was usually unruly, was like a cat in front of him, Cheng Wenle was amused and couldn't bear to see the father and son tragically kill each other, so he called the prison guards and Li Jing's personal guards to retreat outside the prison, and locked the door tightly with a big lock.

At this point, everything that happened inside had nothing to do with others.

Seeing that there were no outsiders around him, Li Jing lost the momentum he had just now, so he opened the prison door and walked into it and said to Li Hao: "Dejian, you said that Li Jigong took revenge, but no matter how he said that he was the former general manager appointed by His Majesty, even if he was wrong, you can explain to him privately afterwards, but now you are so disrespectful to him, it is not that he can't get out of Taiwan."

Li Hao lowered his head: "I care about him to die. From the day when Daddy was not at home, the old man took me away with me and took me out with me."

"You have no power, what are you relying on? Do you think that if you earn some money for Your Majesty with your cleverness, Your Majesty can protect you for the rest of your life? Let my father tell you, this is impossible." Li Jing has been an official for most of his life, and he understands the things in the court more than Li Hao. He exposes his little thoughts in just one sentence.

After saying that, seeing that Li Hao seemed to be dissatisfied, he simply continued, "Besides, Li Ji is resourceful and is a wise general in the court. If he wants to cheat you, it will be useless if His Majesty really protects you."

The old man said Li Hao was right. Putting aside fame and fortune, Li Ji was indeed a shameful person. In history, in order to protect himself, he even killed his son-in-law, let alone other people.

But it was precisely because of this that Li Hao decided to break up with Li Ji. After all, he understood that the enemy was much easier to deal with than the enemies in the dark. He didn't want to be killed by the old man Li Ji one day in the future.

"Dad, I know what you mean, but I just don't like the old guy. I guess that old guy also looks at the child like this, so don't worry about this."

Seeing that Li Hao was not in trouble, Li Jing was slightly angry and said in a deep voice: "It's easy to say. You are the vanguard of the front army of this Northern Expedition. What's wrong with staying in prison all day because of anger. How do you convince the public of your father, how do you communicate with the generals and officials, and how do you explain to Your Majesty?"

Li Hao blinked his eyes and didn't say anything. The meaning was very obvious. How to explain that it was your old business. I just let it go.

Li Jing was so angry that he silently recited dozens of 'This is my biological child' and then he was relieved. He sighed and said, "Tomorrow the Pioneer Army will send troops to Dingxiang. I will only ask you one thing, whether you, the general, want to go."

Li Hao said in surprise: "Tomorrow... why is it so fast? Are the other groups of people in place? Dad, you can't ignore the lives and deaths of the soldiers just to seize the merits."

Li Jing: “…”

Is this son still my biological child? Li Jing has begun to doubt his life.

"Shut up and listen to me finish my words." He glared at his son fiercely, and Li Jing continued: "This attack on Dingxiang is mainly to retaliate against Jie Li's surprise attack on Fengzhou two days ago. He must fight quickly and not give Jie Li any chance to react. Moreover, taking Dingxiang is more conducive to dragging Jie Li's army and making him unable to distract him. Do you understand?"

"I don't understand." Li Hao shook his head: "How do you know that you can hold Jie Li by taking Dingxiang? What if he is scared away?"

Damn, why didn’t I find this kid so many ‘why’ before? Li Jing was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and said angrily: “Don’t worry about so many, I just asked you one question, can you stay here if you really don’t go out? If you really don’t go out, you’ll stay here all the time. When will you take you back to Chang’an after the war is over?"

As soon as he heard that the war was over, Li Hao immediately became timid: "Then if you say that, I will definitely go out. Attacking Dingxiang is the first battle of my Northern Expedition Army. It is not allowed to be missed. I am not relieved to let Lao He lead the troops alone."

Li Jing didn't react for a moment: "Who is Laohe?"

"It's my deputy general, Hegan Chengji."

What was the clear surname of Hegan? Li Jing took two deep breaths speechlessly, turned around and left.

There is no way to continue chatting this day, and if you continue chatting, you will be pissed to death.

The 3,000 troops of the vanguard army were elite soldiers selected from the Prince Sixth Route. Although Su Dingfang and others never took them seriously, this does not mean that these people were all cowards.

The reason why they were looked down upon by the generals in the court was mainly because they were all "elites" who had never seen blood, so they seemed purer.

After returning to the camp, Hegan Chengqian immediately conveyed Li Jing's order. After hearing this, these "elites" who had never seen blood were all excited and screamed to be the first to climb to the head of Dingxiang City.

It was under such circumstances that Li Hao returned to the camp. The entire barracks seemed to be boiling, with soldiers so excited everywhere, logistics auxiliary troops running around with gunpowder bags everywhere, and the neighing of war horses everywhere.

"Dejian, you are finally willing to come back. If you don't come back, I will be determined to go to Yunzhou to rob the prison." Hegan Chengji said happily as soon as he saw Li Hao.

Li Hao had a dark face and pointed at the surroundings: "Lao He, what's going on? You're going to rebel?"

"Hehe..." Hegan Chengji laughed and explained: "Aren't you happy, brothers? The first battle is the first battle. I'm excited to think about it."

Li Hao rolled his eyes: "Don't come on this, don't think I don't know what you think. Now let them return to the camp immediately, wipe their weapons and equipment, and those who receive gunpowder must keep it properly, and you cannot make any mistakes."

"No!" Hegan Chengji responded with a smile and went down to make arrangements.

Li Hao is back, which makes him more confident in capturing Dingxiang City, not only because Li Hao is familiar with muskets, but more because most of the spies in Dingxiang City are arranged by him.

To put it short, one night passed, and the next day at dawn, the vanguard army, who had been stationed outside Yunzhou City for nearly ten days, set up camps and camps, left the pass, and moved towards Dingxiang City.

After the Pioneer Army left for an hour, Su Lie also followed with three thousand cavalry and followed the path the Pioneer Army had set out and headed north.

Dingxiang was originally the former territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the second year of Wude was the anniversary of Liu Wu. However, later this guy joined the Turks, and Dingxiang became the territory of the Turks.

During this Northern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty, Dingxiangcheng had already received news since Li Hao's vanguard army arrived in Yunzhou. The city lord Ashinatulu immediately ordered his soldiers to control the old money from the milk powder workshop.

Now is no longer as glorious as before. The Turkic tribes are no longer in the past. The Turkic tribes are constantly quarreling, and the human brain is about to make a big fool. Even if the Tang Dynasty does not send troops to fight, it will probably fall apart in a few years.

Now, the Tang Dynasty has dispatched 200,000 troops to face the brink of the border. Not to mention that there are only 5,000 defenders in Dingxiang, even if there are 50,000, it is not enough.

But if you say you surrender directly, let alone Tulu, even his subordinates feel unwilling to accept it.

So, these people put their ideas on Lao Qian, hoping to get something out of his mouth.

The tent was still the original tent, and the bonfire was still in its original location. However, there was no longer the previous dancer in the tent, and there was no roasted fat lamb on the bonfire.

Tulu's face was gloomy and gloomy, as if someone had owed millions of dollars. He stared at the old Qian who was sitting on his own, "Master Qian, do you know why this city lord invited you here?"

"I don't know, I hope the city lord will give me advice." Old Qian said with a ignorant look and bowed his hands.

In fact, before Li Hao arrived in Yunzhou, he had already received the news. He said he didn't know it at this time, and he was just pretending to be confused because he understood it.

Tulu knew that Old Qian was pretending, but had no choice but to smile sinisterly: "Is that right? Then the city lord reminded Lord Qian Fangzhu, "The Tang Dynasty is going to attack the Turks in the north, and sent 200,000 troops. The front army has arrived in Yunzhou. Does Lord Qian Fangzhu know now?"

Thinking of Li Hao’s previous letter, Lao Qian tried hard to calm himself down and said with a smile: “I understand, but what does this have to do with us?”

What does it matter? Is it so big?

Tulu only felt that once the fire passed, the urine was urinating upwards, and the sweat on his head came out at that time, and said with a harsh voice: "Master Qianfang, you still dare to talk to the lord of this city here. Are you not afraid that this city lord will kill you to sacrifice the flag?"

"The city lord said this very strangely. The Northern Expedition of the Turks in the Tang Dynasty had nothing to do with you and me. Why are you killing me so hard?"

I'm fucking... Tulu was almost furious by the indifferent attitude of Old Qian. He was about to ask someone to come in and get the old man out and chop him up. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration in his mind: "Master Qian Fang, what do you mean?"

"Don't the city lord understand what I mean? Our place is Dingxiang City, and on the territory of the Tang Dynasty, this is still the territory of the Tang Dynasty."
