Chapter 312 The Western Expedition

The first ray of sunlight in the morning drove away a trace of cold air. The sunlight was still on the withered grass, but it could not melt the breath of war. In Li Ke's barracks, war horses neighed and war drums beat. All armies were preparing to listen to the orders of Li Ke at any time to fight against Jie Li in the west.

Su Dingfang was no longer in the camp, and he was appointed by Li Ke to be responsible for the war in the Youbei Grassland. Therefore, the person who dispatched troops was Sun Erlang. This battle became famous and killed the Turkic Zuoxian Wang Fei Yong General. Sun Erlang was respected by the soldiers of the entire army after successfully killing the Turkic Zuoxian Wang Fuzhen. In addition, his ability to command troops and Chen Qi's assistance, the preparations between the battalions in the entire Tang army camp were very smooth, and there was no chaos.

Li Ke had a meal in his tent and walked out of the tent under the escort of Wang Zhongchang and Meng Shan. The Eagle Guard outside the tent had already brought his war horse to his side. Li Ke turned over and killed the army in front of the army preparing to go to war. At this time, ten thousand Turkic cavalry led by Tuli and Am to the Tang army camp. Li Ke even saw Ashinayun wearing a cavalry and shooting suit beside the Turks.

After the battle on the grassland, without the threat and oppression of Jie Li's army, Tuli seemed very energetic. Ahm beside him was full of energy, reflecting the unique spirit of eating, drinking, defecation and urination on the horse's back. Only Ah Nayun changed a lot. Today, she wore the costume of a Turkic princess, which looked particularly eye-catching. The special Turkic riding and shooting outfit made her suddenly show that charming style on the horse's back. Coupled with her beautiful face, when Li Ke saw her, Ah Nayun was like a beautiful Gesang flower on the grassland.

"I thank you for the two Khans of Tuli for coming to see you off!" Li Ke greeted Tuli and said modestly.

"Your Highness of the King of Han is serious. You have eliminated Jie Li's threat for my Ashi's work and wanted to fight Jie Li in the west. How could I not come to see you off?" Tuli finished speaking, sighed and continued, "It's a pity that I am not in good health. In addition, there are still many things that I have to deal with after the war. So I can't fight with Your Highness of the King of Han, which makes me feel sorry."

Li Ke smiled at Tuli's words. He knew that Tuli was the official words, but Li Ke did not point them out.

Then, Tuli said again, "So, in order to show that Ashi's sincerity for Your Highness to help our tribe defeat Jie Li's army, Ben Khan specially sent Emu and his ten thousand elite cavalry to go out with Your Highness to go to war with Your Highness, and hoped to give him some strength." Tuli finished speaking, glanced at Emu and said to Emu, "In the future, you must obey Your Highness's orders and do not disobey Your Highness's orders."

"Don't worry, Khan, Emu absolutely obeys Your Highness's orders." Emu assured Turi.

When Li Ke saw Tuli and Emu's performance, Li Ke felt that he was very grateful whether it was a show in front of him or Tuli did intend to remind Emu to obey his orders.

"Thank you for your support from the second Khan. I am grateful. In the future, you and I will be ministers. Ke should repay you." Li Ke said sincerely. Now Li Ke is no longer the one who knows nothing and does nothing, nor is he a person who does nothing and does nothing. Now he has become a politician who is a real person. Now he is the first thing he considers about interests, his own interests, and secondly, emotions.

The reason why Li Ke discovered such a big change was that he learned from his military affairs offices in Bingzhou and commanded Bingzhou and Hedong and Hebei in recent years. He also deeply realized many of his shortcomings through the comparison of Tuli and Jie Li. Therefore, he changed in an instant and showed his performance today.

Tuli was obviously stunned when he heard Li Ke's words. Then he thought of his analysis of Li Ke last night, and he felt relieved. He nodded with satisfaction. He believed that Li Ke in front of him was the real Li Ke. Now Li Ke has begun to possess the potential and demeanor that a king who dominates the world has.

"Your Highness, King of Han, are you polite—" Tuli smiled, then he glanced at Ashinayun beside him, then looked at Li Ke, and said with some understanding, "Since your Highness is about to set off, the Khan is no longer disturbing. The tribe still has many things to deal with, so let Yun'er send his Highness to his journey!" After saying that, he glanced at Ashinayun and saw the latter nodding slightly to express his agreement. After Tuli got Ashinayun's consent, he said goodbye to Li Ke and left the military camp.

Li Ke and others left suddenly and immediately ordered Emu to be the vanguard general, leading 10,000 elite cavalry as the front army to open the way for the army, and ordered Sun Erlang to be the general of the entire army to be responsible for all the affairs of the army. Chen Qi led 10,000 elite cavalry to break the rear.

After giving all the orders, Li Ke said to Ashinayun in front of him, "You'd better go back. I'll leave after sending you to Qianli. Besides, we will see you again after the battle is over. When you arrive in Chang'an City, I will take you to play."

"Your Highness--" Ashinan Yun spoke suddenly, but she only shouted for this life, and she didn't know what to say. Li Ke did not interrupt and continued to wait for Ashinan Yun to speak. Ashinan Yun paused for a moment, and said with concern, "It's only now that the Western Expedition is very dangerous, you must pay attention to safety."

When Li Ke saw that Ashinayun was very worried about his life and safety, he was very moved. In fact, he also knew Ashinayun's thoughts. So he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will be fine. I am surrounded by five thousand tigers and beside him, it will definitely not be worse than Jie Li's Blood Wolf Guard."

After Li Ke finished speaking, he pointed to the black-clothed Eagle Guard and Wolf Cavalry beside him with a horse whip and said proudly, "I am worried that Jie Li would mistakenly estimate the strength of the Blood Wolf Guard around him and let him die at my hands!"

Ashinayun believed in Li Ke very much. Since she met in the Yinshan Holy Land for the first time, she believed in him very much. After experiencing the battle of Youbei, Ashinayun did not doubt Li Ke's words even more. Therefore, when she heard Li Ke's bold words, she also smiled faintly, "I hope that Jie Li Blood Wolf Guard is like tofu blocks, so that your five thousand tigers can be chopped and killed at will." After saying this, she smiled slightly at Li Ke.

Li Ke looked at Ashinayun's charming smile with a little worry. The Turks felt that Ashinayun in front of them was like a bloody rose, which made people feel both painful and in love. But as soon as this feeling surged into his mind, Li Ke suppressed such thoughts.

"You go back! The army has set out, and I can't delay it for too long." Li Ke said to Asunayun.

"Then take care of yourself all the way-" Ashinayun said. In the end, she did not mention to Li Ke about following him in the Western Expedition. Through Li Ke's performance, she knew that even if she mentioned it, he would not agree.

After seeing Ashinayun's departure, Li Ke really thought so. Seeing Ashinayun's riding and shooting gear set up, he vaguely felt that this girl might want to go to the battle with him. Li Ke did not think that Ashinayun would suffer any harm when he followed him to go to the battle. As long as he had himself to protect her safety, there would be absolutely no problem. In addition, she was a Turkic person and had good skills in riding and shooting, so the safety would be even more secure.
