Chapter 361 Be an emperor who leads by example
After entering the city, Li Qing's stomach was actually so hungry that she was roaring, but both herself and Guo Ziyi forgot about this because they were too excited. They directly discussed the plan and discussed it until midnight. It was not until Li Qing's stomach rang out in a bad mood that she reminded Guo Xi around her...
After eating some dry food, the emperor Li Yan ended this tragic day. Li Yan believed that some emperors might have suffered such hardship before ascending the throne, but there were not many people who had to suffer such hardship after ascending the throne.
So if he could really rescue Guo Ziyi and destroy the people of these two tribes this time, that would be great. Once he came, he would go back in shame and even come to accompany Guo Ziyi to die in the city, he would be greatly lost, basically to the point of being famous for his eternal fame.
Lying on the bed listening to the north wind outside the window, Li Qing felt confident that this time he would have to solve the problems of Tubo and Uighurs.
I have just ascended the throne, and it is understandable that such a radical act is a bit extreme. If the court is stable in the future, it will be of no benefit to the court. If one day a young and energetic official comes to take action first and then report, and then say that I am for the Tang Dynasty, whether you, the emperor, will you punish or not?
So through these two incidents of Chang'an City, Li Ning still wanted to set an example as the emperor in the future. He could indeed be at will or to kill disobedient officials below, but he had to bear the reputation of a tyrant.
Guo Ziyi explained why he suffered such a big loss this time to Li Yan. This time the plan of the Uighurs and Tubos really exhausted the wisdom of their two clans, and the two clans did not hide their own private interests in doing this, and they all mobilized their most elite members.
Whether it is the weather or the marching route, they fully considered it, and they had always been hiding in the dark and touched the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
I don’t know how long I have been following the scouts of the Shuofang Army alone. I almost mastered all the movements of the Shuofang Army. Then I used the absolute advantage of the number of people to kill most of the well-trained Shuofang Army within a few days.
Li Qing had no intention of looking down on Guo Ziyi at all, but he was even more convinced of his speculation about the Uighurs and Tubo people's actions this time.
Their target was not Guo Ziyi at all. They must have analyzed Li Nian's personality before they were dispatched. Their target this time was Li Nian. They believed that with the relationship between Li Nian and Guo Ziyi, it was impossible for Li Nian to let Guo Ziyi die like this. For the Tang Dynasty, their men were waiting for Li Nian.
"I hope Zhang Xun and Lei Wanchun can hold on for a while, and the court will still be in the court. If it weren't for the big boss Yuan Zai, I wouldn't dare to just come out like this!"
Li Neng, who was in an isolated city, was not his safety issue most now. Instead, Zhang Xun and his 50,000 elite soldiers, and the court where he hurriedly left.
There was obviously a battle that had just happened a hundred miles away from Lingzhou. The winning side was clearing the battlefield, and it was the Uighur cavalry.
Not far away, Mou Yu Khan was looking at the corpse below coldly, frowning tightly, and there was no sense of joy of winning the battle.
"After cleaning up, tell me how many bodies the enemy left behind and how much our army lost?"
After a long time, a Uighur cavalry arrived in front of Khan Mou Yu and whispered: "Khan, the enemy left more than 150 bodies, and our army died in battle... more than 300."
Mou Yu Khan took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and looked forward. He knew that if he chased forward, he would be too far from Lingzhou and a little too deep into the hinterland.
He was chasing a team of about 10,000 people. According to the news he heard from the surrendered soldiers, Li Yan was actually in this team of more than 10,000 people. The 40,000 team of Tubo people was a cover, which was a trick used by Li Yan.
Such a statement is completely in line with the unexpected character that Li Yan showed when he fought with them before, so Mou Yu Khan believed in this matter at that time.
But I chased after dozens of miles and fought more than ten times in all sizes. Every time I didn’t touch the main force of the ten thousand people. Every time I could only destroy 180 people, but I had to lose 200 or 300 people.
This did not make Mou Yu Khan feel that Li Yan was not in this team, but he asked him to start thinking about whether he would fall into Li Yan's plan.
Finally, looking at the tens of thousands of Uighur elite soldiers behind him, Mou Yu Khan warned himself that the brave ones who meet on a narrow road will win, and they cannot be cowardly and have no retreat.
If I kill Li Yan this time, the main force of the Tubo people will be almost consumed by the 40,000 people. I will get a chance to become the master of this world, and there are not many such opportunities.
But what Mou Yu Khan didn't know was that in another direction, the situation of the Tubo people was a little different.
The Tubo people's soldiers and horses were entangled with the 40,000 people led by Zhang Xun. At the beginning, Zhang Xun retreated when he saw that he could not win. He was accidentally discovered by Chi Song Dezan that Li Yan was in this team, so he was reluctant to leave Zhang Xun.
Zhang Xun's retreating direction was indeed a bit southerly, but what he didn't know about this unfamiliar Chisong Dezan was that this direction was also a bit in the direction of Hebei Road.
At this time, in Zhang Xun's team, a person who shouldn't have been there was standing side by side with Zhang Xun and moving forward, which was Lei Wanchun.
"General Lei met with me, and he didn't have any flaws in the Uighurs?"
"It shouldn't be that my 10,000 cavalry had little goal. I have left traces of five hundred people creating 10,000 cavalry passing by. In my opinion, it can be at least five more days for the Uighurs."
"Five days... I hope Nan Jiyun can understand His Majesty's meaning, otherwise, we can fight with these Tubo people for a while. Their combat effectiveness is still worse than that of the Uighur cavalry."
"No, Your Majesty has an order. The lives of these 50,000 cavalrymen are the most important. If he believes in Nan Jiyun, we must believe it too!"
Obviously, Khan Mou Yu had been played by Lei Wanchun, and they had been fighting and retreating with him. In fact, the real main force had already met with Zhang Xun. The Uighurs could only chase a non-existent enemy in the days that followed.
